Last lecture for pop 102. :(

Really enjoyed the subject, an eye-opener indeed.

But then again, 2 assignments costs me my beauty sleep. =.='

Just submitted the assignment 2. Slept for only half an hour between 10pm and now, which is 12.21pm. Whoa, boleh la start training utk jadi TI lagi 5 thn! <---adeyh.. lambat lagi laa..


Sangat bersyukur Allah beri peluang ini. :)

I'm sooooooooo gonna miss lecture!

I love the fact that learning MedSci can always make me go 'Subhanallah'.


Do you know that the diffusion distance in the alveoli of lungs is just 0.5micrometer?


Our red blood cell is already so tiny, 0.5micrometer is like one fifteenth of the red blood cell's diameter.


Subhanallah.


Subhanallah.


Subhanallah.

Ya Allah, jadikanlah kami hambaMu yang menutup aurat dengan sebetul-betulnya dan masukkanlah kami dalam kalangan orang yang takut kepadaMu (bertaqwa).

Silly Milly

Salam to all.


It's just plain stupid because I keep repeating the same mistake. 

POP goes my HEART.

Salam to all.


Firstly, enjoy this video.


Why? Because it clearly describes the first day of exam.


Hint: The chorus~ 


Haha. 


The CHALLENGE of the first day of exam ever at the University of Auckland for a BHSc OLY 1 student like me are jeng jeng jenggg:


POPPPP HEALTHHHHH. (10th June 2010, 0915 hours, OGGB 098)


anddddd


BIOOOOSCCIEEEEE.. (10th June 2019, 1415 hours, OGGB 4)


So, it kinda match the POP and the HEART right? 


Seriously, it did. 


Pop 111 was superly hard and I was like superrr superr clueless when it comes to the MCQs. Argh!


I didn't expect 90% of the MCQs to be from Module 3 and 4.. ohhhh... it's seriously a disaster because the questions are not about the main content but more towards interpretation of the graphs. FYI, we have a LOT of graphs in this subject. Road Traffic Injury graphs, DALYs, Home injury graphs etc. etc. No point for me to elaborate further as I don't really think you'll 100% understand. 


So yeah, a "POP" for pop 111.


Now for the "HEART".


The last question for Biosci was about Heart muscle. As far as I can recall of what was in my textbook, I don't think there's something like QRS complex and stuff about heart contraction, being explained in detail. =.=' oh, maybe that was in the lecture? T.T adoi. 


Tu la baca buku teks aje. Tak revise slides skali. 


And again, the MCQs. Argh! I HAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTEEEEE THEM! Alhamdulillah, I think I can answer the ones related to neurons but when it comes to muscles, I feel like there's a big Question mark sign on top of my head. 


I did study muscle right? Right? 


Yes, I know I did! (but clearly it wasn't enough)


Redha. *deep breath*


Conclusion:


For my FIRST day ever of my FIRST exam ever of my FIRST year ever in a university, for the FIRST time, I hate MCQs. 


I said I wasn't gonna lose my head, but then
POP! Goes my heart.
I wasn't gonna fall in love again, but then
POP! Goes my heart.
And I just can't let you go,
I can't lose this feeling.

p/s: That is a picture taken during the Women's Inaugural Interfaculty Basketball Tournament. 31st May 2010.


Oh, boleh pulak harini pegi jolly jolly shopping dekat Glen Innes~

Kia Ora!

After that one and only class for the day (last night I was like 'Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!' and mind you, it's a one-hour class, yippie!) , Farah and I walked from the Tamaki campus to Pak and Save. Reason: To look see look see. Bought crab surimi and we ate outside the store like two hungry schoolchildren during break time. Haha. And then we entered a cool 2nd hand store. I think the profit they gained will be given to charity homes.. Whichhh makes me sooo happy to spend 2nzd on children's books!! I bought The Little Mermaid (happyyyyyyyyyy!!!), The Lion King (yeayyy!!) and another two books. Wee!


After that, we headed to the fruit stall just metres away. I quickly dived in for a packet of Golden Kiwi for 1.69nzd until I realised a few minutes later that they have cheaper ones. Sigh. But it's okay.. Mine got a free spoon+knife. :)) mwahahaha. 


We thought of going home by train but then we didn't have enough change. kesiannn.. I don't think the train accept eftpos~ 


So we went back to the streets of Glen Innes to find an ATM. 


Urgh, creative juices tak de la harini. Argh. 


As a conclusion, we bought food instead of withdrawing money, and walked back to Tamaki to take a free bus ride home at 1.30pm. 


The end.


Adoi, tak sedar diri exam dah dekat.. T.T

Pak Syed sure bangga. :)

Adoi. 


'Saya yakin dan percaya, kalau bersyukur, Allah tambah lagi.'

Macam-macam.

Salam to all.

Finally! I am able to write.

Somehow the computers here keep blocking me from writing. Okay, was that an excuse? Hmm.. Okay, forget it.

Anyway,

busy busy busy. Or buat buat busy?

Good question.

So, I got myself involved with the Bersatu Games. Meaning: Weekly practice, pocket-burning 95nzd, and no more lazy Saturday morning.

My head is kinda pening with the new assignment. Struggling to find articles related to the question. Arghhhh!

Got the results of tests.

Chem: not okay. Don't depend too much on past years.
Pop 111: Don't be overconfident. And most importantly, don't sleep in class.
Pop 101: Alhamdulillah, quite okay. Next time, follow instruction and *HINT HINT* as Dee put it.
1st Pop 101 assignment: Needs improvement in terms of content. And referencing.

Parcel.
Mom sent me one via DHL and somehow it got stuck at the MAF. Grrrr!! And have to pay extra 168.75nzd!! Grrr!! But, alhamdulillah, insyaAllah it will arrive in one piece. And alhamdulillah mum didn't follow my suggestion to seludup minyak mestika (a type of minyak angin. very good brand!).

Ip Man 2.
BEST. TWO THUMBS UP. I don't know what else to say. You JUST have to watch it!!! SERIOUSLYYYYY! Recommended to everyone above 10 years old due to some acts of violence.

Labs.
So far, my lab marks are somehow lingering at the average. Come on lahhh!! I need to pass my labs to pass the course!!

Tiramisu.
Alhamdulillah, Farah and I managed to make two trays of edible tiramisu cheesecake. Although I'm a bit disappointed of not winning the Pot Luck competition, seeing the trays 'licin' kinda made my day. ;)

Lecturers.
I love all my lecturers, particularly Brent Copp- Chem, Jeorg Kistler- Bio, Fabiana Kubke- Bio, Rod Jackson- Pop 111, Judy Brittain - Chem, among others. I miss their lessons already!!

Baby.
I gave birth to a 4-week-old baby embryo model last Friday at about 2pm, along with 63 other lab-mates of mine. My baby was pretty okay, but the brain section kinda looked odd. Will post a picture insyaAllah.

Photosoc.
Yeay! Alhamdulillah, I got third place (although I don't think I deserve it) in the first Photosoc Field Trip (to Devonport) photo competition. I think my picture was chosen because I kinda followed the theme. But seriously, there are a lot of really nice pictures that should have won (they got expensive big big camerasssss maaaa..). InsyaAllah there'll be another Field Trip to Waitakere, somewhere at the beach. And there'll be an exhibition sometime in June. I'm still thinking whether or not to join. $$$ matters. Adoi.

Autumn Break.
I forgot to tell you of my adventure to Hamilton, Rotorua, Taupo, and Waitomo. InsyaAllah, when I have the mood, I'll tell ya! Now gotta go and do my assignment. Cheyy. haha.

Oh yeah.

Forgot to mention that I bought 5 Harry Potter books for 22nzd! Really Bargainlahhhhh!! Alhamdulillah, all in good condition although 2nd or 3rd hand. But who cares. haha.

Currently reaching towards the end of book 3.

See ya!

p/s: Greatest invention of all time? Nasi Lemak vending machine.

 Salam to all.

Just a quick update.

This morning, Farah and I went to Eye Hedge (IH) haha to join the Bersatu Volleyball try out.

Our coach, Boon was really nice and the guys were really funny! (Shane, Chris, Jeffry, Kit, Nigel, Ellen)

I screwed up especially when it comes to setting.

But, I found out that there's still spots for the girls futsal team! Yeay! I thought I don't have any chances anymore because I didn't attend the futsal try out last Tuesday.

InsyaAllah!

:D

Salam to all.

Just to let you know, whenever I'm writing, that means I'm in an emotional state. Good mood, bad mood, whatever.

So I guess you can feel what my mood is for today thanks to this boring intro. *hint HINT*

I just came back from Rec Centre and no, I didn't go there for a workout. I thought of playing basketball but there's just a lot of terer guys. So yeah, confidence breakdown and stuff.

A month.

What have I gained? What have I learnt?

Well, I did learn a few Maori expressions.

Kia Ora - Greetings. Hello. Goodbye.

Ko (insert name here) toku ingua. - My name is (insert name here).

Thank you Cherie for being my teacher!

Improvement? yeah.

Yesterday was kinda fun.

After my class at Tamaki, I went for lunch, solat zohor and put on my red T-Shirt to volunteer for the Red Puppy Appeal with some of the 9th-floor people. Asked for donations from complete stranger at the corner of Queens St. and Wellesley St with Keri. Made a 'If you can see this, be grateful! Donate! Help the blind!' poster and proudly hold it up for people to ponder -and donate-.  In case you want to know, the money collected will be used to train guide dogs for the blind. Cherie, Tyler, Liz and Akune was there too. Our plead for donations didn't always get positive response but when someone put something into the bucket, we felt really glad and somehow, appreciated for our small effort. And it's a great feeling.

After that, went shopping at Kathmandu. I saw on TV about that store's great sale and I was really excited to go shopping! And I wasn't dissappointed! Yeay!! Really super duper discounts! Mwahahaha! <--euphoric response to discounts. normal.

I bought a $67 sleeping bag (used to be $170), $50 fleece pullover (used to be $100++ I think) and $20 kids pullover (used to be $99.90). You know what?? the kids pullover (and mind you, that one perfectly suit me! not too small and not that big!) was available in two colours. My first choice was the black one, but for God-knows-what-reason-that -I-really-just-couldn't-comprehend, it's $10 more expensive than the blue one. So I took the blue one. It looks err.. not-that-nice at first but after tyring it on, it looked kinda neat. And I have to stop buying black clothes.. I have a lot of them already. hoho.

After that, I walked all the way from the store, with two sleeping bags, one on each side, to my home. Yes, I love the place I'm staying right now.

I just love the big push-pin board I have in my room. I've put up maps, wall planner, and all sorts of stuff. I love my kerusi pusing pusing with wheels. I love my comfy duvet. I love the 3-inch view of the sea. I love the big mirror inside my wardrobe. I love my springy bed which is really dangerous because i don't feel like waking up in the morning, haha. I love the computer room, really handy especially now. I love the washing machine because it's kinda huge.

Okay. That's all for now. :)

Not always, miss amiirah.

Salam to all. especially to my dearest friend, Amiirah.

Dear Amiirah,

yes, things did look good in the first two weeks. But now I'm gonna start my fourth week of class.

Now, I am suppose to do my assignments. And I am in no mood of doing so.
I feel so sleepy, and i don't have any idea of how to fight that. Well, maybe writing a few things here will kill the boredom.

The sky outside is also gloomy which I think kinda reflected what I feel now.

...

...

...

Okay, so I guess I don't really know what to say or what to right write now.

Oh wait, I do have something to say:  I wanna play volleyball!!!

But I have to finish that thing and read this and read that.

And the fact that I really screw up volleyball (among other things) don't actually help me to feel better.

...
...
...

Amii, mailah sini jalan2 wif me!

COME LAH AND CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY WITH ME!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMIIRAHHHHHHHHHHHH!

May Allah bless you and your family with the best of everything. :)

TAMAKI!!

Salam to all.

I just LOOOOOVEEEEEEEE Tamaki campus!!

Especially the library. It has the community library feel. And its interior is more homey.

<3!!

Not even halfway.

Salam to all.

So, third week this week.

Last Sunday, we had a chit chat with medic seniors; 5th year and 6th year (aka TI or Training Interns.. I guess..) and said hi to a 2nd year HO (House Officer) who's just about to start his shift.

That's one of the 'open your mind, see the big picture' kind of talk which was actually a mix of yeayy and awwwww. Yeayy because I think it's kinda cool to talk to them as it sorta gave me the birds' eye-view of this whole medicine course. What I'm really interested in is :What's going to happen after graduation? BIG question. Uh-huh. To me it's still blurry but nevermind.. It's like a Form 1 student talking to a Form 5 about SPM, haha. There's a LOT of things this Form 1 student needs to go through before SPM. No doubt.

Awww because it's not going to be a smooth-sailing ride. Well, I'm a normal human being, right? Who likes to do things the hard way if given the choice, right??

It's just the start of the race. Better do it right.

Yeahhhhhhhh.. Semangat semangat!

It's a looooooooong road.
(Location : near Shakespear Bay.)

Keep running! And keep doing Best Choice~ <-- pesanan penaja.

I love even week.

Salam to all.

2nd week of class finally ended. And I'll tell you why I love even week.

First, no LAB.

Second, no LAB means class ends at 2.00 pm on most days.

Third, no LAB means enjoyyyyy after class ends at 2.00 pm on most days.

Alright then, you get the idea right?

Highlight of the week:

1. Chem 110 : Dr. Judy, as usual, her lecture style is 'sempoi'. There's this one day when she brought a doll (like my Baby Kuning, but this one's much larger) and that doll was used to illustrate.. err.. sheesh, how come boleh lupa.. (refer to notes).. (sound of flipping paper).. Ah yes. To illustrate R/S determination in Enantiomers <-- bunyi macam cool kan? haha. And that was so funny! So basically this week we learnt a bit about functional groups ( continuation from last week) and a lot about Stereoisomerism.

2. BioSci 107: Early in the week, we learnt Tissues.. Muscle tissue, nervous tissue.. Lecture was given by AP Clive Evans. Starting from Thursday, we started Human Development!! Yeay! Embryology and stuff! Cool! Serious cakap! All this plus really funny lecturer, memang best lah. Human Development's lecture was given by Dr. Fabiana Kubke. Her class I would say, was like a kindergarten. During the first lecture, we just followed her instruction to colour diagrams of embryo with Epiblast, Trophoblast and all and write bits of notes here and there. And what's amazing, at the end of the class, people clapped! Looks like everybody really enjoyed the lecture. -On a more personal note, I kinda yawn less during that lecture. Average yawn during normal lecture : 5 times. This time : 2 or less. haha.-

3. PopHlth 101 - To be honest, sometimes, I really couldn't understand what we're suppose to know at the end of the lecture despite the Objective had been clearly stated. Somehow, attending the class creates more question than answer. I guess this is what Uni life is ay? And then the tutorial. My tutor is Dee. She's kinda cool but I kinda hate it when she mentioned ASSignment. assignment. ARGH! The ASSignment (sorry, couldn't help it this time :p ) is due 31st March. I guess, what I really like about Pop 101 is the bus ride to the serene and quiet Tamaki Campus! :DD - If I can get a seat, that is-

4. PopHlth 111 - This class is more like Stats 101. What we basically learn was how to understand statistics. And put numbers on the PECOT. And calculate EGO and CGO. And do PeerWise (insyaAllah my points will exceed 2000 by the end of this week). Prevalence, Incidence. Aiyyoyo. And read journals (this one, it kinda make me feel smart :p ) During tutorial, (my tutor is Liza by the way), we filled Death Certificates. And do Age-Standardisation. And calculate Death Rate. (wow, it's kinda cool that I can recall what I learnt without referring to notes. looks like I paid attention in class and tutorials.. woohoo!)

Non-academic highlight of the week:

1. Settled O'Rorke payment. Alhamdulillah.
2. Movie watching (documentary by the way) haha. Friday evening.
3. Successfully learnt printing techniques.
4. Makan ayam + window shop at Queen Street.
5. Played -horrible- volleyball in front of pros. Adeyh. Malu kot.
6. Attended PhotoSoc AGM and 'Camera Basics' workshop. Free if you join PhotoSoc. :D At least, I can understand a bit la about apeture, shuttle speed, exposure and all those technical words. Can't wait for the FIELD TRIP!
7. Attended 'Note-taking' workshop. Quite helpful. :)
8. Pizza nite at my room.

Upcoming event:

1. 2nd LABBBBBBBB session. Please remember to do Best Choice the day before lab, not the hour before lab.
2. GDO 4. InsyaAllah on Sunday.
3. Shopping at Dressmart. InsyaAllah.
4. Field trip!!

;) Again, I just love even week.

Positive.

Salam to all.

I had Chem 110 just now. Woke up late today.. So, arrived at FPAA (Fisher & Paykel Appliances Auditorium) just to find it full. And so, the three of us headed to OGGB 4 (Owen G. Glenn Building 4) and attended the live telecast of the same lecture. Kinda cool because the lecturer was much bigger here, haha. Learned about naming alkanes and nomenclature thingy.

Dr. Brittain (Judy) is really funny at times. She loves to draw smileys during her lecture, :D and that kinda reminds me of Mr. Yap. Aww, I miss him SO much!

After that was BioSci by Prof. Clive Evans. One thing for me to remember, ALWAYS read before his lecture. He's gonna go really really fast and just now, my hand was like running across the page scribbling what he said. Urgh, I hate it when I had to learn the hard way.. sob sob.

But BioSci was really interesting. Today's lecture was about Epithelial cell. The layers, basement membrane, epithelial tissue.. etc.etc..

Scribble scribble..

drawing and scribbling.. weeee~ :D

Can't wait for another BioSci lecture! <--positive giler budak nih. haha.

Domain :D Love it!

Salam to all.

Just so I wouldn't give a bad impression to the place I'm studying (this year and hopefully for the next 5 years, insyaAllah), I am posting this nice picture of us admiring (more like climbing. haha. well, we love climbing!) a tree near the Museum in Domain.

Auckland Domain is a biggggg park with lots and lots and lotssssss of trees. (I'm stressing the point because there's a lot of trees that I love) And the reason I love trees here in Domain is because they are so 'welcoming'. They have these big branches open up to you like a person having arms stretched wide to hug you.

Maybe you'll find me complaining a lot here in this blog. But well, I find it easier to write when I'm in not-so-good mood. haha.

Keep reading and I'll keep typing away~~~~ InsyaAllah.

I -heart- Lab. Errr?

Salam to all.

Today started off quite well. First class today was POP 101 at Tamaki. I just love Tamaki campus. The bus ride to reach there and the small campus itself. It's kinda sunyi but I just love the cool air there. ;D

Intro to Pop 101 (Population Health 101 actually) was cool! (except that I have to shift to the right and shift to the left just so I can see my lecturer. Today's first lesson : Do NOT sit behind tall people.) The intro was mainly about health systems, the difference in healthcare system between the US and NZ, but not that in-depth.

After that, met Karen and Prof Cynthia at Grafton's cafe. It was nice to see them. Got a good good tip from Prof Cynthia (For every hour of your lecture, you must study for 2 hours). =.=' WORK HARD she stressed, again and again. Yes, prof! :D

And then, first session of CHEMISTRY LAB.

If you're one of my groupmates or Athirah during my time at Taylor's, you would probably have the idea of how much I 'like' (oh wait, 'LOVE') LAB SESSIONS. -the '..' sign is not typo error okay?

Anyway, the assignment just now was Chromatography. Couldn't be easier, right?

Nah.. I've never felt so dumb reading the instructions to do the Column Chromatography thingy. Seriouslyyyyyyyyy..

And I thought the supervisors would be helpful, well, sometimes they do, but MOST of the times, they just made me feel dumb-er.

Enough said. I was SO RELIEVED when I walked out of the dreaded house of poisons Chem Lab G092.

I couldn't care less of what's the result gonna be. ARGH!
I just hope I passed. Please pleaseeeee.. I'm targeting a 6 (the lowest passing grade).

So, second lesson for today: BE PREPARED.

p/s: did I mention I saw two Paris Hilton look-alike?

1. Accommodation : how to pay??? when will I get duit mara to pay??
2. Mara: when will i get the contract?? when's the pre-dep briefing??

That's all for now.

Progress report.

Salam to all.

There's not many progress with Uni thingy and MARA thingy.

But there's progress with shopping, mwahaha. (Alhamdulillah, bought 3 new pairs of jeans during a sale at Sogo last Monday with Athirah. Woot woot, 70%, 50% woohoo!)

Anyway, this are going to be my resolution (based on my experience at Taylor's in doing the direct opposite):

1. Study SERIOUSLY EVERY night. <-- I am kinda sedih I didn't do this during my days at Taylor's.
2. Record the topics I learnt everyday. Know the focus of the topic.
3. Make notes while studying. DO NOT wait until a week before exam. Better yet, a day before the exam.
4. Wake up early, sit in front. But DO NOT sleep.
5. When there's no assignment, STUDY. Relax sket is allowed.
6. Play during weekends and evenings.
7. Do not get involve with TV series. Movies ok la.
8. Tak tau, tanya. Jangan bodoh sombong.

YEAH! semangat haha!
