fooorr science!

hello y'all!
are y'alll ready for some rootin tootin double timin executin macho mannin post?
well too bad, cos heree I goouououou.


sorry I didnt update through the weekend and such.
might've been too lazy. might've been to busy.
welp, lets start with satruday shall we?


spend the morning menalur, as always. patang ada open house arah rumah si farah.
we went there super early pasal si fillah (my housemate) pikir it was at 1. rupanya at 2. -_-
but it was alright. nothing lost. dapat sembayang sana and all so no worries.
it was fun. met lotsa new people. so it was all good. =D

sundayy. pagi kana bawa main bula. yay!
i waited for them for a while arah uni. and I saw some chipmunks! so adorable.
no, they weren't singingg. -.-

soo kami start main maybe about 10+, catu.
anddd masa main, I fell down. and both my knees were scraped. and bedarah. -.-
pasal the turf atu nya dorang mun rabah sikit, bedarah. so yeah.
didnt notice it at first. until the cold wind blew on it. and I was like, napa ia padih ani.
liat, bedarah. -_-
speaking of cold winds, inda bepaluh ah aku main! that's the first time.
selalunya I sweat out buckets.
also, pasal sajuk and inda warm up, tecramp. hahahaha.
so lame.
patangnya, I just rested. my whole body was down. so yeah.



mondayyy. pagi, nada banyak. patang PBL!
PBL was secaaaaary.
but it was alright. discussion saja kami alum brapa pandai. but we went through.
then we discussed a new scenario. where I was SCRIBE.
scribe mesti dangar everything and write them down on the boards.
it was okay. mesti pandai dangar important stuff and write saja. only the discussion is fast. so yeah.


tuesday, VS.
VS was quite okay. enjoyable, even.
we discussed Utility vs Futility.
macam, what do you do to a patient who can't be saved anymore?
do you work hours and hours to help him be comfortable?
or do you just let nature take its course.
something like that. so yes, it was very interesting. =]


patangnya I set up my newww... BOOKSHELF!
awwww yeahh. now my room looks organised. (finally) =D
DIY stuff is funnn. and manleh. so I quite enjoyed it.
ganya screwdriver ku bah. macam pinsil kuntut usulnya.
so screwing around (heheheh. see what I did there?) was a bit hard.
but I survived. =D

my room before I had my bookshelf

my room while I was assembling my bookshelf

my room after I have my bookshelf. plus creeper on the right.

 today, I'm off to the labs!
i'll be wearing my labcoat. SCIENCE!
tomorrow, I might head to the center. I'll try to get pics. =D


till next time.

lady luck's fist bump

hellow thereee. =D
today was a totally turnaround from yesterday.
while yesterday was one of my unluckiest days (so far), today has been filled with sorta good luck. =D

so today, I woke up late. kinda. cos I had no classes till 3pm.
3pm would be my PBL meeting. every thursday afternoon, we meet up to discuss about our case.

SO! to start of the day, nooo chatting for me.
no sir-reeee.
I made some notes. =D for the discussion.
lots of good notes made. and I felt super productive. huzzah!

then came lunch time. I've been suuper hungry today.
woke up, ate 2 bowls of cereal. but they like fizzled through me. no effect.
then came lunch timeee. and I felt like eating something elsee. likee.. egg. *.*
so I went off... to cook for the first time!
so prepare for a nuclear explosion glasgow. cos the zeezster is about to cook!
and so I went to the store to get eggs and SALT to cook.
a professional cook whose identity i wish not reveal told me salt makes everything better.
it was syat.
anyways! my egg turned out fine. =D
AND I FORGOT TO USE THE FREAKING SALT.
but look at the dish I made! =D

made with advanced cooking skills such as rice-cooking, microwave heating and egg flipping. KAPOW!

is that some masterchef shit or whaaat. amirite? am i? right? guys?

so yeaah. then more note making, then off to uni for discussion.
which was pretty intense 
and pretty over the top 
and it lasted for 10 minutes.
yep. it lasted for literally 10 minutes. then we left. cos some people felt lazy and left. so we all left.

thenn I waited for the bus for like 10 minutes. i was on timeee this time, but no bus. :(
so I went to the bookshop to see if any labcoats were still around.
it was 3 in the afternoon. of courseee it was out.
but this time it wasnt! and I had just enough money to get one. =D
i got a labcoat! i am so sciencey!
then I went out the store.....
AND I SAW MY BUS.
so i dashed over there like forrest gump. and I made it. =D

so I hope tomorrow will go just as well. =]
speaking of tomorrow, the lovely syats is flying off to the UK! =D
in caseee I dont get to text you, cos I have my lectures...
have a safe flight love. =]
and I'll see you... in december. =D

zisce.

my first MEME!

hello again everyone. =D
yet again, my aim to post everyday has been thwarted.
by the evil doings offff.... school work. *.*
yes, I've started studying. and it has all been very interesting. =]

my ACTUAL lecture theatre

it all started off on monday.
unfortunately, it also started off on the wrong foot cos I freaking came in late. -.-
whyyy you ask? cos my bus was 20 mins freaking late! so yeah.
I almost got a cab. I already called them. but barutah ia datang. so yeah.
first lecture wasnt much. it was an intro to 'Phase 1' which is the first semester of Year 1. it's from now till november.
in december we have a one month school breaakkk. wheeeeeee.
then sambung skulah, we start phase 2. where we start having 2 pbl sessions per week. =\


PBL is Problem Based Learning. its a type of way to study.
they give us this text. like, for examplee. this week kana bagi about this boy who fell down masa main skateboard.
so we list out problems. like, when he fell down, he bled.
so we need to know what happens during an injury. and what happens after.
sooo we have to research about the mechanisms of healing.
thenn we also need to know about the skin. all the cells and layers and all.
and also, when he went to the doctor, he refused to be stiched up.
so we need to know how and when to get consent. in this case, from a child.
and thaaat, peoples. is what I have to do this week.
it is fun. but it's also kinda difficult. x]

the second day!
nothin much hereee. awal pagi ada a Vocational Skills session.
VS is where we study about ethics and communication skills.
we mostly just introduced each other in this class.
next class we get into theory and all. which sounds interesting. =]


patang ada a clinical skills session.
in this CS session we learnt how to measure blood pressure, pulse, breathing rate and temp.
blood pressure was a bit hard for me cos we needed to check the brachial pulse. which is the place that they get your blood from.
my partner, who was this dude, had huge muscular arms. iatah payah cari. -.-
buuuttttt. ujung ujungnya dapat. so yay. =D
nasib mun inda pakai needle. mun inda parai kali ia eh.

hold on sir. i think i found it.... nope. let's try again.

today!
it was horribllleeeeee. been very unlucky.
first offf. I woke up late. which might not mean much to youuu but meee. i wanted to talk to my family and syat. so me up late means no brunei connecting time. =[
thenn jalan to uni to get stuff. I had to queue up arah the bookstore 2 times cos I forgot some stuff anddd there was no medium sized labcoats for me. -.-
then i got an injection from that place where I'm registered to to get medical help. =D
that wasnt so bad. pasal aku karas atu kali. =p riiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggghhhhhhttttttt. kana tumbuk mati kali tarus eh.

thenn makan arah subway. AGAIN. lupa lagi bagi subcard tu. and the one I tried inda brapa.
then I went to the center to deposit some money in my newly made bank account.
tinggal tia jua papers ku ani. -.- so I had to wait kajap for them to get my account info and all. and then depositttt.
thennn, the crazy part starts.


you seeee. my bus is usually late. like, 5-10 mins late. and it only comes TWICE per hour. so if you miss one, you technically screwed yourself in the butt.
this bus which I wanted to ride on (heheheh) was the 12.15 bus. but as I said, it's usually late. so about 12.20+.
i finished at the bank around 12. the train takes 5 mins to get to my stop. I have to walk another 5 mins to get to the bus stop. which leaves me with a 10 minute window. pretty good right? WRONG.
i arrive at the train station. and my ticket was a bit (a lot) crumply.
and I put it in the machineeee. and it says "SEEK ASSISTANCE"

bet it was laughing it me too

so I was all, "whaaaaa"
then I sought assistance.
and this guy antah marah kali. ia buka the thing ganas and tutupnya jua ganas.
so I went doowwnnn. and the train took off right in front of me.
and you know what the sign said?
INNER CIRCLE : 10 MINUTES.

then the train arrives, got to my station.
all's well right? WRONG AGAIN!
it was RAINING HEAVILY.

and it was already around 12.17.
so i said, ef it, I'll run through this crap!
I did. my pants were soaking wet.
and I got to the bus stop. =D
butttt. the bus didnt come until 30 mins later.
I FREAKING MISSED MY BUS.
AFTER GOING THROUGH THE RAIN.

then I got home. WITH THE NEXT BUS.
showered. ate. went to uni. studied. now I'm home again.
good thing of all that isss.
the heater is on (finally) and I've bought some delicious yoghurt. =D
and that's the story of my week so far.
tomorrow's PBL review so I have to get ready for that. =D


in short,

zisce.

attempt to post daily : FAILED

hey guyssss!
I am soooo sooo sorry I didnt post anything the past few days.
why? because the WIRELESS FREAKING DISAPPEARED!
cos tetutup kali the plug or something.
and I couldn't switch it on whyyy?
cos the router is in my landlord's office downstairs.
which was LOCKED.
so yeaaahhh.
i was freaking internetless for a day! do you know how boring it is. to have nothing to do. and have no internet??? and no tv?? and no guitar??? DO YOUUU??

anyways, it was about 'Being A Doctor'.
and in his talk, you know what he talked about?

but no matter! no rain shall DAMPEN my fiery spirit! (see what I did there? =D)


buutttt. unfortunately, when I arrived home, the internet was still down. throughout the night as well. so I had to sleep early. =[


today was an almost great day!
whyyyy?
cos the internet was back up! weeeeehhuuuuuu!
and I got team fortress 2! =D
it is freaking AWESOME.
after playing around, I went to saiful's open house.

I also met moree bruglas people. it was great.
but you know what made the whole trip great?
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
it was like falling in love again. *.*
and the chicken tasted awesome!
and the rice even!
i only wish i was half as good a cook as they are. x]
but the festiveness died down because of 1 thing....
LIVERPOOL FREAKING SINKING AGAINST TOTTENHAM.
it made me sad.
but no matter. the food and company was too great to offset me. =D
then I went back. to study. about knees.
and noowww I'm done. =]
tomorrow's a big big day for me.
so wish me luck! =D

hello a peoples!


today's the 3rd day the old zeester is alone in glasgow.
and today went pretttyyyy well.
well kinda. ok lah. above average. B+. A- lah.


i woke up at 7 tadi. then I chatted and played games with ajeeb sampaaai aku kan jalan ke uni.
at uni, there was a registration thing first. ramaaaaai yang ambil medicine. 200+ people!
it's a very intimidating number. its scary to know how many smarties I'm up against.
but that's meds. sooo I should get used to it.
registration, I had to register to some organizations. and I got a free medical dictionary! sweet.


blablabla, lunch, I went to subway. aloonneeee. :(
it was veryy lonely. cos usually i eat at home. and I chat with syat. but yeaaahh.
so I called the people back home. ada babu. =D
but kajap saja aku call. x]
thenn went back to uni. another talk till 2.30.
got another at 3, tapi aku sembayang dulu. I explored on my own kajap. and ada tejumpa the surau. =D
blablabla, more talking. abis at 4.30.


OOOH!
today, the weather was SUNNNY! =D
it was nice seeing the sun. he's like my new best friend. or SHE.
do you remember the teletubbies baby-sun?

well, it was actually a baby-daughter! see what I did there? I'm so funny.
anyhoos. it was still damn cold outside even with the sun. cacat weather sini ah. -.-
but it was lovely lovely weather.

tomorrow pagi aku freeee till 2. so I'll be online for all my brunei pooples!
and again, I hope all of you are well.

zisce.

day number eight hundred THOUSAND!

hallooooooo.
day number 2 aloneee in glasgow. and today was very relaxed. but less than yesterday's. x]


woke up at 7. chatted with syat, skyped with family, ate some FROSTIES.
damn frosties and the milk tastes better here.
anyways, I wasted like 4 hours with them. =D
loveee skyping to see everyone. x]


after that, off to uni to get my student card. which i thought would take a couple of minutes. turned out, it took like 20 mins cos the server was laggy. =\
buutttt. once I had my card, abiiiis. =D
then came the fun part.... a day alone in the city center! =DDD
I went around to get room stuff. like picture frames and a heater.
it was great to just explore on your own. you get to learn lots of stuff that you might miss if you go as a group. like where freaking puddles form! which, in glasgow, is a lot. so yeah. x]

my new bestie, toasty. =D

but yeah. other than that, nothing much happened.
heater is on in my house. so that's really great. =D
tomorrow's the start of the induction into medicine!!!!
exciteddddd. hope i fit in and do wellll. x]
and I cant wait to get my own debit cardddd. heheh.
dapat set up my own internet and such. so yeah.
and I hope the tv gets set up soon. I'll also want to get a guitar. x]


anyways, as always, hope you BRUNEIANS (eseh, ambung tia. hahahaha) are well. =]
i'm cold and lonely over here. so come visit and give me hugs! preferably group hugs. =D

zisce.

1st day alone.

hey there guysss.
so it was my first official day alone in glasgow.
had some things to do. mainly my health screening. which went through okay.
i had to take some bloods. and apparantly somehow my blood flow was slow or something? and she ended up having to poke me balik balik. sakit ah. -.-

effects after being poked with a needle. hurts more than what's shown. =(

then after that, on the way back, i just missed the bus for 5 mins. so I had to wait for another bus for 25 mins. sajuuuuuuuukk di luar. super windy as well.
they said ada a hurricane somewhere in the atlantic or something? and northern UK yang affected by it. so there's currently 50-60mph winds outside? i dont know. alum ku compare with my running speed if it's slower or sama. OAAAAA.

anyways, cos of that, aku inda jadi jalan tadi ke city center to buy stuff. so I was stuck in the house. all aloonneeeee.


no worries!
I played lol with ajeeb which was great and also sampat skype sama dorang. =D
spent most of the day chatting with syat.
and tadi aku ngaji after maghrib. felt great. =]


i have to go out tomorrow to get some stuff. hopefully this weather dies down by tomorrow afternoon. x]


hope everyone's well in brunei. =]

zisce.
