<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's almost half a year since I left the dreaded place I called medschool. Back then, I have to agree with my friend who said "Diorang cakap je "<i>You can always come to us if you have any problems</i>" but in the end, diorang bukannya kisah pon". Which was true. Sometimes, I fell that I was not adequately supported but alhamdulillah, we all survived in the end.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I began watching Masterchef regularly when I failed for the first time in Medschool. The show was really inspirational. The struggle that the contestants faced somehow resonate with my own experience as a medical student. And seeing these contestants fight back on every challenge made me want to make a comeback as well for every time I get knocked down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">These contestants get a lot of crazy challenges being thrown at them. These include:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So when I failed, I kept wanting to prove to those who failed me and others that I won't give up. I want to show people that these failures did not crush me. Sure, they made me upset and stressed out but I was not going down without a fight. And I hope that if I can show to others that I fought back..when they were to face their own hardships later on, I do hope that they will make a comeback.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I believe that people should always be nice and polite when talking to one another..and especially in stressful situations. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It was last week when I was in the Surgical Assessment Unit (SAU) that one of the staff was just being rude to me. Let's call her Cruella. She was upset that there were 2 patients being sent to the ward when they were not supposed to. I was asked by a nurse to see those patients since they are Urology patients. I went to SAU and asked Cruella where these patients were. Without even making proper eye contact (and I think she was walking away from me to show that she's more superior and has no time to entertain an FY1 like me), she said the patients are at the entrance of the ward. So I talked to the patients and asked them if they have been given any letters in which they replied they've given it to the nurse. So I went to see Cruella again and asked about the letters. She looked at me with a very annoyed face and raised her voice, "What letters??!". Sheesh, cuba relax. Bukannya nak suruh catheterise patient pon. So I just walked away from her because I don't have time to deal with rude people. I know you're stressful but making others stressed out as well is not helpful. Be nice, smile and don't frustrate others.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And I had my first on-call on the 25th. You might think it would be quiet but we were definitely short-staffed. There were only 3 FY1s and everyone wants me to join them in their ward round! O_o I joined Urology and then General Surgery. Whilst I was on the Surgery ward round, I got a bleep from Orthopaedics and the lady asked me why I didn't join the Orthopaedics ward round. I said I've joined Urology and now I have to join Surgery. And then she screamed over the phone saying "How am I supposed to do the jobs and answer my bleep??!! Are you kidding me??". I wanted to say "Yes" but that wouldn't be a nice joke so I just kept quiet and the she hung up the phone abruptly after she said "That's fine". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So yeah, people can be very rude when they're stressful. But a better thing is not to make others upset when you're stressed out. Cause then, you will develop a chain of stressful individuals. Stop the chain, break it. You are in control of your emotions. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So even though I didn't go to PMS this year (referring to Perhimpunan Musim Sejuk), I actually met a no of people who experienced PMS in hospital.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Haha... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am an FY1 (Foundation Year 1) doctor. There are 2 Foundation Years in total and we go through 6 rotations of 4 months each. I was in ENT (ear, nose and throat) and I quite enjoyed it because there was good senior support and I know I won't mess things up because they are around to help me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On the 3rd of December earlier this month, I moved to my 2nd rotation, Urology (kidneys, bladder, urinary problems, prostate). Initially, I thought it would be a crazy rotation but now that it's 4 weeks into the rotation, it's not too bad tbh. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last week on Tue, I went to see my Educational Supervisor who was also the ENT consultant for our meeting. He said to me, "You'll be surprised to hear what people say about you when you left". And I thought to myself, "I hope they said good things". Lol. He didn't say what those things were but I have a feeling that they are all positive things. I went to my old ward (which was the ENT ward) because we have a Urology patient there and met with some of the doctors that I worked with before. He said to me, "Things are much more quiet now that you left Wafi". I can tell that he misses me, haha. And my SHO (senior house officer) said to me that he no longer eats in the ward after I left because he would usually have his lunch in the doctor's room and chat with me. I didn't know that I have that much impact on the ward :P</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now, I am in a new rotation and I quite like the fact that there are now 3 other FY1s around. We can ask for help from each other and share the burden (lol!) when it gets too excessive. Unlike ENT, there won't always be a senior around but you can always call them on the phone so it's not too bad. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The things that I'm worried about include:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">i. Audit. I haven't done one proper audit yet as an FY1. Need to get this done soon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">ii. The 16 Core Procedures. I've only done 4, huhu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">iii. I haven't done any teaching sessions yet! Need to do at least one per year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Apart from that, things are looking quite okay. Still feeling quite sleepy every now & then but I think that's just me, heh. On another note, let's pray for those who are affected by QZ8501 and the flood in Malaysia. May Allah ease our efforts iA...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ever since I started working, I feel like there is just not enough time. I think I am not as organised as I was a medical student. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You leave home early in the morning, you come home in the evening and then you have to cook (well, I don't cook that often heh), have dinner, do chores, sleep and do it all over again the next day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's so much different to being a student. Back in my medical school years, I can happily study whenever I want to throughout the day. Now, I have to work during my hours and I can't just disappear to the library to study whenever I want to. I have to hang around, I have patients under my care, I have expectations that I have to meet. And I also have this noisy bleep. It is a really stressful environment. But yeah, working in Malaysia would definitely be more challenging.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After months of working, I began to appreciate of how my Mum could cook after coming back home from work when I was at school. All those delicious food that Mum cooked for us when we were younger even after she had been working hard at UiTM. If I were to cook everytime I get back from work, I'd be exhausted. Alhamdulillah, I have a lovely wife who is awesome at cooking :) And I always encourage her to cook extras so she doesn't have to cook the next day. Whenever I come home after work, sometimes I feel like just wanting to lie down for hours cause it's just too tiring. And weekends is the time to chill and sleep.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is now my 5th month of working and you might think that I'm getting used to it already. Well, not really. Heh. I always need to go sleep early at night and even then, it's still not enough. I get sleepy the next day every now and then. I think this is normal (I hope so). This is the Foundation Year Programme; I'm looking forward to finishing it and move on to something that I hopefully would enjoy doing, iA. This stressful period won't last long, it will get better. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So yeah, working life is definitely busier. I mean..just look at my blog. I still have lots of posts to write before the year ends. This post probably doesn't really have much to say, apart from the fact that I'm starting to write back, slowly but surely. And I shouldn't make my working life as an excuse for not writing...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yesterday was the 3 monversary (month + anniversary; if there's even such a word :P) of my marriage to my lovely wife, Sarah. I know I have put this blog on super long hiatus but I think it's time to start writing back, bit by bit ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also found out that she has a blog and I love her writing so much that I decided not to share it with you guys, lol kidding. So there's probably won't be a blog entitled "being us" anytime soon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Just to be clear, this post is simply for my reading. But I don't mind if you want to read it too. As you probably know, I write on this blog because I want to remember things..it's an alternative to writing them in my journal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I named it "legacy" because it was one of the names of our university email account which had changed a no of times throughout the 5 years. I like this name the most.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I learned that we're going to lose access to our university address soon. Thus, I transferred some of the emails which I wanted to keep to my business email address and for some, I put them on my blog so I can look at them whenever I want to :D</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So now you know why I was so stressful in the weeks leading up to the resits. In addition to the thought about repeating the whole of Final Year, I also have an additional worry in mind..</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As always, no matter how good our plan is, Allah's plans are the best. Everything went according to the original plan apart from my failures in #FebFinals. The things which happened perfectly include:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. Sarah passing her Finals</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Passing Finals is crazily difficult. Since there are two Final Year Medics involved, the probability of both passing is defo lower. Alhamdulillah, Sarah passed hers on her first attempt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My ranking of where I want to work</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After graduation, medical students trained in the UK have the opportunity to work anywhere that they wish to apply. Me & Sarah linked our application back in October 2013. We put North Western as our first choice. Alhamdulillah, we got it. Then, we had to rank the hospitals and we chose Lancashire Teaching Hospitals and alhamdulillah, we got it as well. Throughout the time of ranking and revelation, I was worried that:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">a. Either of us not getting a job</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">b. Link becomes unbroken (because there's always that possibility) and both of us ended up in different places </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But alhamdulillah, we got everything that we wished for.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3. Me passing 4th Year</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Because the result was only revealed in January 2014 and if I failed (alhamdulillah I didn't), I lose my elective period and therefore, all the preparation I needed for my wedding.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>THE ONLY EXCEPTION</b> was me. I was the only uncertainty left in this story. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Fail again or pass epically. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Repeat the year or graduate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Because if I were to fail, I had to repeat the year and the start of Final Year clashes with the wedding dates :O Scary ok, but alhamdulillah..I didn't have to go through that.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was an unforgettable experience and alhamdulillah, it's all over now...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">medschool's going down.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">..are simply meant to be. </span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
What I learned from my failures include the following:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
i. That it is hard to fight against a system when you're just a small unit. You need backup. Which is the reason why my mum has agreed to join me in my plan to take down you-know-who. If anyone wants to join me, please let me know. We want to change the system so that other people would not suffer. It may take a long time but the revolution is here!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
ii. That in life, it really depends on your rizk. You might have been good, exceptional, flawless..but if the examiner is a you-know-what, you can still fail your exams. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
And these things happen for a reason cause Allah has bigger plans for you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
So persevere and don't give up. <strike>Make them pay.</strike> Your story is going to be an inspiration for others. A lot of lessons to be learnt. Remember the very moments of despair when you feel like all hope is lost. The time when you begged that Allah will give you a miracle. These moments are the ones that make you who you will be in the future.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
And alhamdulillah, that Allah has given me an awesome experience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
Initially, I wanted to write really nasty things about you-know-where but I changed my mind, haha. But I have to say that even me and the admin at North Western has become bffs unlike the admin in you-know-where. I even told the North Western admin about my wedding plans so that she could change my pre-employment check date. Unlike the admin in you-know-where, such a trouble.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And I'm definitely looking forward to the day that I will say goodbye...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>"You just remember who the enemy is"</i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><b>Statistics</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now, I'm going to talk about the double OSCEs (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) that I faced in April 2013. Firstly, let me just tell you about the statistics for #FebFinals:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
<b><span style="color: #e06666;">91</span></b> out of <b>332</b> Final Year students failed the OSCEs</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
It's definitely a huge no of failures. So if you're one of those who failed, you shouldn't be too scared cause <b><span style="color: #e06666;">almost a third</span></b> of the year failed. Hence, the failure rate of Nottingham Medical School for 2014 is <b><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">27.41%</span></b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
<b><span style="color: #e06666;">70</span></b> failed OSCE1 and <span style="color: #e06666;"><b>41</b></span> failed OSCE2. So yeah, still a huge no for both.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
But if you failed both (like I did), you're one of the <b><span style="color: #e06666;">Top 20</span></b>. Doesn't sound that many now, does it? And because 20 is a smaller number and knowing that I'm facing double OSCEs, the odds were not in my favour. I woke up everyday during this difficult period realising that I'm one of the 20 who have a higher chance of being eliminated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
This is double OSCEs okay! It's like facing <b><span style="color: #e06666;">double elimination challenge</span></b> on Masterchef Australia. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><b>The Double Elimination Challenge</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Alhamdulillah, this was the timetable..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
I had a day between the 2 OSCEs. Lama okay tak dapat gap between OSCEs, huhu.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>OSCE 1</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><b>12 stations of 6 mins each </b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>(Allowed to fail 2 stations only regardless of your marks)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
In Feb, I failed 3 stations, hence an overall fail.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
In Apr, I put down 4 stations as the ones I'm worried about:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
1. Cardio - The examiner was asking me about systole/diastole and I was confused but before the time ran out, I shushed him and said in the most confident way about what happens in systole and he nodded. Result: <b>PASS</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">
2. Prescribe IV fluids - The wild card station from last year which made a lot of my senior colleagues questioning what they were supposed to do in the station. Now I know how it felt like. I was not even sure of what I was supposed to do. Result: <b>PASS</b> with a borderline mark</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
3. Set up IV infusion - The examiner was one of my fav Teaching Fellows. But since she let me struggled to find the cap at the end of the IV tube for 2 mins, she's out of my fav list. Didn't complete it at all. Result: <b><span style="color: #e06666;">FAIL</span></b></span><br />

4. Cervical spine - Another wild card station from previous year. I knew what I had to do. and believed that my examination was flawless. It was C6 but apparently, the examiner didn't even know what C6 does. Seriously, dia tak tau C6 is elbow flexion pastu boleh jd examiner. Corrupt sungguh. Panas aku dengan examiner ni. I looked at my marksheet and knew that I didn't get full marks for most items. Yelah, dah knowledge si mamat examiner ni pon sangat questionable. Kalau tak tau C6, gi masuk balik medschool la wei! Haha. Result: <b><span style="color: #e06666;">FAIL</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
So yeah, the no of stations that I'm worried about was 4 which is similar to my first attempt in Feb but alhamdulillah, since <b><span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">I only failed 2 stations</span></b>, I passed! Not going to meet any more slackers iA.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
They weren't all bad stations. Let's talk about the things that gave me hope..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
1. Radiology - I started with Radiology as my 1st station AGAIN! How ironic is that?! And who's the examiner? My funny, handsome and awesome Radiology consultant. I showed him that I can talk about X-rays like water gushing out of my mouth, lol.</span><br />

2. Abdominal - It was okay but what I liked about the station was I managed to say "Ultrasound scan" which was the correct answer just before the bell rang and the examiner gave me a thumbs up :D</span><br />

3. SBAR Phone call - It was the station that I <span style="color: #e06666;"><b>failed in Feb</b></span>. But this time, it was whole a lot different. There was an ECG and a confusing set of notes but hey, I showed the examiner that I know my stuff and he said "Take care" before he said goodbye. I redeemed myself :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
4. Acute - Another station that I <b><span style="color: #e06666;">failed in Feb</span></b>. The reason for failing it was because the examiner didn't take note of my verbalisations. This time around, I said everything clearly, slowly and looked into the examiner's face with eyes wide open. Definitely redeemed myself :D I lost 2 marks probably because I didn't mention the manikin had a gender reassignment (the manikin had breasts and external male genitalia).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
This was the one I was worried more because last time, I failed 4 stations, lol but to be fair, they were mostly borderline failures and the examiners were being strict. But this time, I rose to the occasion alhamdulillah.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
1. Medicine - It was a smooth sailing station though I was unsure about the dose of morphine but I confidently diagnosed pneumothorax and managed the patient well; PLUS, showing some empathy when she cannot go to Spain. It's unfortunate that she won't be flying to Spain but I passed with flying colours.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
2. Surgery (chronic history) - Station ni pening sikit. Tak tau apa kena buat. Tanya sikit je, tetiba dapat markah. Hahaha. But I showed the examiner my skill of writing on the piece of paper without having to look at it and hence, I was able to maintain eye contact with the patient throughout. I think that was my saving grace, alhamdulillah.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
3. Primary Care - The wild card station, I put it down as a clear pass in Feb but it turned out to be a huge failure. This time, I included a summary and suddenly, I passed?! Apa2 je la, alhamdulillah pass.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
4. Prescribing - I got Chris Love :O A fav teacher among the medical students, he's my pharmaceutical hero, haha. In Feb, I thought I got 100% but nope, I only got a 1st. This time, although the drugs were different; I showed Chris Love that his teaching has made me an excellent student, biiznillah.</span><br />

5. Musculoskeletal - It's a shoulder problem. The examiner was a Teaching Fellow from Lincoln whom I quite like. And what I like about the station was that before the time ended, he already completed marking my sheet and said, "There's nothing more to be marked.. I would've told you if there's anything else to be done". So I put that station down as a clear pass.</span><br />

Overall, I passed all 5 alhamdulillah. The examiners were nice and non-slacking :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
During this difficult period, I didn't believe in myself at all. And not having faith in oneself was really difficult. But I have faith in Allah and I believe that's what has helped me through the craziness of OSCEs: All Stars.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
I believe that only Allah can give me a PASS, a graduation, send me to Lancashire Teaching Hospitals and only He can make me a doctor this year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal, for everything that has happened...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>It was raining heavily on that Friday, 9th of May 2014. The sound of thunder roared through the heavens above and lightning illuminated the darkened atmosphere of Shah Alam. The time was around 5.30 pm and the lights in the house blacked out; I knew that the result was going to be released via email at 7 pm Malaysian time (12 noon in the UK). Then I remembered that my little brother Irfan was scared of lightning. When Irfan was a toddler, he would startle when he sees flashes of bright light during a heavy downpour. So I went downstairs to stay with my little brother in the dark.. at least, if he's scared, he has someone next to him.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I promised myself that I will never forget what happened in <a href="http://adlanwafi.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/figure-8.html" target="_blank">May 2013</a>..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On that Monday, the exam week began with a double online exam challenge. After the exam, I was so worried that I fail them..which then revealed to be my double distinction for the Specials module. That was awesome, alhamdulillah!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On that Wednesday, it was the most difficult exam day thus far. 3 Knowledge exams of different specialties on 1 day & I had my first ever panic attack - and I shall always remember that experience.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">On that Thursday, I disguised myself in an OSCE for the first time ever because if I were to get my Psychiatry Consultant who was really mean to me as an examiner; he wouldn't recognise me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Finally on that Friday, in the resit for Obs and Gynae Skills exam; halfway through the 4 stations, I actually believed that I have a fighting chance to move on to Final Year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And that's exactly what happened.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/eOipaGDSBTQ" width="500"></iframe></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's the story of self-doubt and the need to believe in yourself</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This Revision Week is not that helpful. It's actually causing more stress to not only me but to a whole lot of other people. Please pray for us. Second chances don't come that often...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hello everyone,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My name's Adlan Wafi Ramli and I recently experienced failures for the second time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But somehow, I'm pretty calm for a few reasons:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. being me</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2. I asked a few friends to make du'a so Allah will give me peace and serenity when the revelation day was approaching</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3. Cause I quite like the idea of redeeming myself</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now, let's hear this story of mine this time around. Firstly, I would like to apologize that I'm writing another post about failures for a second time. I was pretty confident that "<a href="http://adlanwafi.blogspot.com/2013/01/dont-dream-its-over.html" target="_blank">don't dream it's over</a>" would be the the last one (currently, it is the 4th most viewed post of all time on this blog <strike>and I didn't have to put it up on FB like I usually do</strike>).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Last Friday, 7.3.14</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i>Just need to do a shout out to my mutarabbi, that we had usrah on the night before Revelation Day. And you guys definitely took away my anxiety. So, thank you. I really appreciate the time you spent with me. So, apa lagi, jom join usrah!</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was a really good day. I managed to cut my nails as its sunnah, even had time to perform duha prayer between lectures because I didn't do any of these when I left home in the morning cause I was in a hurry. Me, Syakir & Hosni went to the results room to get our envelopes. Yeah, for Finals, each one of us have our own envelopes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>The envelope</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The initial plan was not to open it up since I was going on a hiking trip with my usrah mates for the weekend and if I were to fail, that would definitely made me feel sulky. And then I saw a lot of people posting their statuses on FB saying that they are now Dr "insert surname" which I liked all of them cause they were such happy news. So, I can't help peeking through the transparent plastic and read the sentence behind my address & saw that it contained the words "repeat" and "penalty". And if you read this post entitled "<a href="http://www.adlanwafi.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/survive-game.html" target="_blank">survive the game</a>", I've posted the letter that you'd receive if you failed and I don't think they would put those words in a letter for a person who passed their Finals.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAUK6Sjbs2B98xo2GYYaMzoTUGurrz4axGSPEreyvvJMr37GamJkldO0YEhCz_k9bhz-ja5wK5mtYBQC7tRfSy6n-T5VnsCA4Y_HC87956BtaeSVPZfgSmegYwPXYmxYWxuqUMZ_SFiKM/s1600/envelope.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAUK6Sjbs2B98xo2GYYaMzoTUGurrz4axGSPEreyvvJMr37GamJkldO0YEhCz_k9bhz-ja5wK5mtYBQC7tRfSy6n-T5VnsCA4Y_HC87956BtaeSVPZfgSmegYwPXYmxYWxuqUMZ_SFiKM/s1600/envelope.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I peeked through the plastic window and learned the result of my Finals</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So that's when I realized that I failed and I've called some people who passed to confirm the content of their letters. So yeah, I failed. That was <span style="color: #990000;"><b>VERY</b></span> disappointing. I had so many plans that I've had in mind if I were to pass. Because I've seen the seniors from previous years and what they had during the weeks after Revelation Day was pure happiness. No care about the medical world (most of them) and just do whatever you wanted to do. I was really looking forward to that. Really wanted that feeling. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And when I went back on FB and saw more of these statuses on FB about becoming doctors, I liked them all again just because they're really good news & they're inspiring.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>My plans after Revelation Day</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The things which I planned to do if I pass Finals on my first attempt (in no particular order):</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. Go to Ashraf Zakwan's house to cook him some salmon since he's so busy with PhD.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is an oreo cheesecake</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I want to say sorry to everyone related to the above list because I am unable to continue with my wishes. I have to do this the hard way..again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>How did I feel on Friday?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Firstly, it was hard to take in because I've only experienced being "normal" aka student without failed credits for less than 2 months. I love that feeling. When I passed 4th Year completely, it was so awesome! But now I'm back in limbo. I feel like going into the Hunger Games for the second time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also initially felt like not wanting to go on that hiking trip but then I changed my mind. I need this vacation. I need to see my friends. So we went to a place called Hope. How beautiful is Allah's plans; it's like a message to me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">hope.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If I were to pass, I planned to call my Mum and tell her that I have a birthday gift which is me becoming a doctor (because her birthday was just a day before Revelation Day). But no, that plan would have to be postponed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But anyway, I didn't open up the envelope because I know that if I find out that I've failed multiple things, I would be devastated. So I left it unopened but I already know that I failed from that Friday. In addition, I also learned that I passed the Knowledge exams via online. So, I know that I've passed Knowledge but not yet known if I've failed one or both OSCEs :(</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Hiking up the hills for hours</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was asked to deliver a short tazkirah and I originally wanted to present something about success/failures but that would have been too obvious. After all, I've announced to my usrah mates that I would only reveal my results on Sunday. So, I went with something that is inspiring by Akhi Ikmal Nordin whom I haven't met for ages! The beautifully written post - <a href="http://thereflectiveperspectivesblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/twinkle-twinkle-little-star.html" target="_blank">Twinkle twinkle little star</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">hiking.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I think going on the trip was a really great decision and for me not to tell them until Sunday was also strategically planned. I didn't want them to feel bad for me throughout the treacherous paths that we've encountered. It was such a cool experience going on that hiking trip. The views were simply majestic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Sunday</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was the day to open the envelop. Somehow, before I opened the envelope, I sort of have this feeling that I'm going to fail both OSCEs. I was ready and opened it up and confirmed my suspicion that indeed I've failed both OSCEs. Of course, I was frustrated but it didn't really crush me. Medschool, you failed. You failed to bring me down. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I just have a feeling that if I were to fail, I would fail in the worst or one of the worst possible ways. I cannot simply just fail one assessment, but I have to fail multiple things. Because Allah wants to give me a cool experience. So when I passed all of them, it would be epic iA!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><strike>Not gonna kidding you, I was jumping up and down in my room as if I just passed Finals. And when I look at myself in the mirror, it's a mixture of anxiety + excitement.</strike> </span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The following sentences were added today after the feedback meeting at King's Mill - I don't know why I was so positive in this post. Right now, I feel so low.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So now, my remaining exams change from this..</span><br />

<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b>When you said that I'm "pandai"</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Dear Syakir, I have to explain something to you about the lunch we had at Bonzai after the last exam with Hosni. When we talked about the failures of 4th Year and how we agreed that a lot of people who are bright and smart but ended up failing multiple assessments and then I said, "ye, orang pandai pon fail".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then, you said "Adlan pandai jugak tapi fail". And then I blushed and smiled. It's not because I was proud or felt superior but it was because I don't think I am "pandai" and to hear that coming from you whom is one of the smartest medics I've known, that sort of gave me hope. Yes, I'm not that smart and that's okay. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've come to terms with that throughout the 5 years. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Nasi lemak at Bonzai</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Indeed, I was one of the top students (not THE top but let's say top decile) in most of my academic career until I arrived at The University of Nottingham. So when I failed in 4th Year, it definitely crushed me. I was devastated. Never in my life had I ever failed so epically. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Let me remind you what happened last year..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">November 2012</span></b>, I failed 3 exams in which all of them took place in the same week.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> So, I definitely felt worthless to have achieved something like that. And in <b><span style="color: #93c47d;">May 2013</span></b>, it was either I make it into 5th Year or enter gap year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">February 2014</span></b>, I failed 2 exams which took place in the same week. This time, I'm ready to face it all again. Yeah, I'm tired of failing. Letih kot. Leceh jugak. I'm so gutted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When I phoned you Syakir, I said, "<b><span style="color: #93c47d;">It's like May 2013 all over again</span></b>". Which is true. Because this time around, <a href="http://adlanwafi.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/against-all-odds.html" target="_blank">I will either graduate or enter 5th Year again</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Tak nak lalui medical school kat Nottingham dah. Cukup, cukuplah.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b>A silver lining on Monday</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Monday was the day of the results of our foundation year placements. Again, this is the 2nd year consecutively where it is oversubscribed (read: more applicants than the no of jobs available). So you can see why medics in Nottingham are feeling pretty stressful - 2 results back to back; Finals on Friday and job placements on Monday. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I really had a strong feeling that I was going to get a job at North Western because it's going to be the perfect irony for me. Everything is part of Allah's plans. He wants me to have the job but I have to work hard for it. Hence the double failures.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I was sitting next to Hosni and then, he told me (we were having a lecture in a small room) that FPAS was out. He got Trent which was his first choice. And then I got nervous. I didn't want to open up my application next to him and in the middle of a small room! Iman and Syakir were in that room as well. People could have seen my reaction if I didn't get a job!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have a job waiting for me despite this year being oversubscribed for the 2nd year running. Alhamdulillah.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But I opened it anyway. I have nothing to be afraid. Then, I looked at the first page and it looked different than usual. Then, I saw the words "North Western" at the top right corner (image above) and showed Hosni, if that was what I think it was. He nodded and I was beaming with joy. I couldn't contain my excitement. It was such a good news. I have extra motivation to pass the resits. You should've seen my face. Pure happiness. I got my 1st choice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Time to call home</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Since last year was quite a really sad phone call, I want to turn this into a much more confident one. This time, I want to be the one to motivate my parents. Because last year, it was them trying to give me words of encouragement. So I called them and my mum answered it. So I told her everything. That I failed both OSCEs. I was aiming not to make her cry and I succeeded! Alhamdulillah. I convinced her that I'm not giving up and then I talked to my Dad and I was being sarcastic about the medschool. So, in a nutshell, I think I showed them that I was very determined to graduate this year. And I will, inshaAllah.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I will eat this chicken whenever I want to. You can't judge me.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Faiz Khalid</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One thing about Faiz; that is if you're friends with him, it is so hard to get in touch with him because he's so busy even when he's in the UK! So I guess I have to fail drastically in order for us to have a FaceTime chat. Funnily enough, I think the last time I FaceTimed him was the time when I failed 4th Year. It's like deja vu all over again. So yeah, it was nice talking to him after so long and also because I have the good news that I have a job waiting for me in August 2014.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also said to him that I will enter each of the 12 stations and 5 stations of OSCE 1 and 2 respectively "dengan semangat membara".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>What now?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These are the things that are going to happen:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I won't be going home in April unfortunately. But I will go home in May iA. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Resits are in the last week of April.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Elective period is reduced.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Haven't bought my flight tickets so that was another strategically planned decision.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Face double OSCEs (sounds like May 2013)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Work hand and enjoy the journey to Finals the 2nd. The Final Redemption.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And I believe these are all part of Allah's plans to give me the best possible chance at not just to become a good doctor but to become a better Muslim...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hand exam - I put this initially as a confirmed PASS but before I went to sleep that night, I realized that I didn't do enough tests, so I ended up being restless for an additional 15 minutes before I managed to fall asleep. And I had to wake up early for OSCE 2 the following morning <span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><b>BUT</b></span> I was really confident, smiled throughout the process, did all sensorimotor assessments and the patient was happy to have me examined her. She even wished me "Good luck!".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sorry for the capitalized words. I think I need to convince myself more than anything right now. Hard to focus when you have self-doubtism.</span></div>

<b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-size: large;">OSCE 2</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've already had my first nightmare last night and I hate it. Back in first half of 4th Year (before I had failures) after the end of Obs and Gynae OSCE, I had nightmares back-to-back in the first few weeks post-exam. It was horrible..I had to relieve the exams in my dreams and sometimes I woke up feeling restless. And these nightmares even happened when my mum came to visit in December 2012. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This dream that I had last night was not really a nightmare but it showed me going back into my final station of OSCE 2 and did everything that I should've done - I did straight leg raise, said that it might actually be bony metastasis (cancer), it might also be mechanical back pain and I would do an X-ray, possibly MRI. And I saw the examiner giving me a PASS result. <span style="color: #e06666;"><b>The reality</b></span> - I didn't do the above and I'm marking that station as a blunder. Yeah, it's just 1 station but I already missed a HUGE thing on another station and this means that I have 2 stations that I'm worried about. And I know that these nightmares are going to haunt me over & over again until the next revelation...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4 minutes is the amount of time per station which me and my friends have been practising for our OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) for the past I-don't-even-know-how-many weeks. In the real exam we will have 5 minutes to show off our skills and 1 minute to present, so it's nice to practice in a reduced period of time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My blue stethoscope will be with me for the OSCEs :D</span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It starts with National PSA (Prescribing Safety Assessment). I really don't like any of the national exams. Just because the time pressure is heightened when I face them. Heh.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The following week is the Finals #FebFinals and it begins with the week of testing our skills via the popular exam method called - the OSCEs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And the last week is the time for our knowledge to be tested via the online system which I've grown to love and hate throughout my 5 years here.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Statistically, this is my record:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My current pass rate is <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">100%</span></b> for any exams which took place outside of Nottingham. Year 3 for Clinical Practice (Mansfield), Year 4 for Paediatrics (Mansfield) and Year 4 for Psychiatry (Derby).</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My Skills marks have always been higher consistently than my Knowledge marks with the exception of <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Psychiatry</span></b>. The smallest margin was 1 for Obs & Gynae and the biggest margin was 39 for Clinical Practice. So you can see why I'm usually worried about Knowledge exams.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have failed more Knowledge exams than Skills exams in the past.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So yeah, initially I was worried a lot on Knowledge but now, I'm more worried about the OSCEs heh.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These are my weaknesses identified by various people throughout the ACE module (final year module):</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lack of confidence</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My smile</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">English as second language</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But I'm not worried too much about the above tbh. Cause my smile is going to win the patients over in the OSCEs and I can fake my confidence lol. </span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These are my strengths:</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Strong empathy</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My smile</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Realistic optimism</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I think my smile is a strength for all of the stations except the one where the patient is crying/sad, huhu. </span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And these are the <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Finals</span></b>:</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">OSCE 1 - 12 stations of 6 minutes each. Allowed to fail two only.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">OSCE 2 - 5 stations of 15 minutes each. Allowed to fail one only.</span></li>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Online 2 - Same as above.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ok, that's all for now and probably until the end of Finals <strike>unless if a rebellion begins and managed to cut off the electrical supply</strike>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And for one last time, our marks are going to be moderated by comparing our performances with everyone else's in our year which makes me feel that my medical school is a real life Hunger Games.</span></div>

That I'm just like everyone else now after #<a href="http://adlanwafi.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/survive-game.html" target="_blank">RememberNovember</a> huhu.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I know, I wanted to postpone writing on this blog at least until Finals but I want to remember the moments leading up to #FebFinals. I mean, I haven't been writing in my journal lately. Imagine my grandchildren reading my journal in the future, they'd be like, "Grandpapa, what happened between November 2013 and February 2014?" Lol, in which I'd ask them to go to my blog. Kah3.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ok, I'm not panicking. So this is a good sign. But certainly, I'm not making good progress. The main things like Cardio and Repsiratory (Heart and Lungs) stuff haven't been covered :O But I will, as I always do iA. My MACCS (Mandatory Assessment of Core Clinical Skills) are such a pain! I began CP3 with 29 skills to be done. Now all that's left is 2. Sounds easy but a catheter has a rarity similar to that of Mewtwo.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And did you know that medical students can fail final year if they don't complete their MACCS? I know right, so annoying. I have even gone to Derby this Monday but failed to find a catheter. So I just have to look for one here in QMC.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sigh.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Bit by bit, I will complete my MACCS and so will you guys iA. So, don't let them bring you down. Ok, sebenarnya the MACCS is affecting me more than you guys hahaha. But you know what I mean.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And I know, banyak lagi nak baca. Just want to let you know that it is never too late and there is still time. So, don't give up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We will face February soon and when that happens, we will make it through iA. How do I know? Just have a little faith. Allah has awesome plans for us ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yesterday, I learned that I, Adlan Wafi Ramli has officially passed 4th Year of Medicine. Alhamdulillah! And the feeling is beyond awesomeness..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And I made this video the night before the revelation because I couldn't sleep, haha. This video was meant to tell how I've felt throughout the process but I actually caused more anxiety among my family members, huhu. My little brother actually thought that I still fail 3 exams and my aunts gave words of encouragement to my dad, huhu. I honestly thought the video was funny, didn't mean to make people worry. Sorry if it did!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is my mark and it's PERFECT to me ^_^</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But alhamdulillah, I passed Paediatrics Knowledge and thus, I passed 4th Year!! Woot2! Haha. And the only thing that stands between me and going home is Finals which is basically like everyone else :)))))</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have to say that my elective period has been challenged three times thus far:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I failed my MACCS (Mandatory Assessment of Core Clinical Skills) in Obs & Gynae. So you can sort of understand why I don't like this specialty.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">#PrayForMay - 7 exams in one week?! It was a blessing from Allah that I passed them all</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">#RememberNovember - it's the only one left from 4th Year. Failing it would mean repeating the whole attachment in the elective period. And I really wanted to go home after everything I've been through, huhu.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So yeah, take that Medical School. I beat you! Haha. Well, there's still Finals but I'm so determined right now. Don't worry peers, I still have a lot to cover. After all, I think you guys are much readier than what you believe since you only had to focus on CP3 (Clinical Phase 3 aka Finals). We'll make it through iA.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I remembered that I once said to Syakir that it would be an irony if I could survive May with <a href="http://adlanwafi.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/figure-8.html" target="_blank">7 exams</a> but failed to even pass <a href="http://adlanwafi.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/i-promise.html" target="_blank">one exam in November</a>. Alhamdulillah, that didn't happen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Guess what? I no longer have the status as a medical student with credit fails. And I like it when my mum said that I'm just like everyone else. It feels great! Now I know how it feels like to be like Hosni, Iman and Madihah. Best giler! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Look at this screenshot..</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I really don't like it that they used the word "penalty" to refer to credit fails. Ingat ni bola ke apa?!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Alhamdulillah, I was not suspended, my elective period remains fully intact and I have no more credit fails. Elective attachments are sorted. I'm going to do mine in DEMC Specialist Hospital in Shah Alam and UKM Medical Centre in Cheras. Coolness.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Oh yeah, when I called my mum yesterday, I had <a href="http://adlanwafi.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/dont-dream-its-over.html" target="_blank">a flashback to the day</a> when I called to tell her that I failed my exams. It was such a sad day. But yesterday was one of the best days of medical school. My mum was so happy and so was my dad when I told him the great news.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And today, I had a celebration lunch with Syakir because we became survivors :D And tomorrow, I'm going to do some ice-skating with Akhtar Muzhaffar, Zulhilmi Azmi and Syafiq Razib.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Thanks again to everyone! Thank you so much!! Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After <b><span style="color: #76a5af;">one long year</span></b>, I survived my failures. It was a really, really, really long year but I'm grateful and so relieved that it's over now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ok Wafi, let's work hard for Finals. And don't doubt yourself too often. Allah keeps on showing you that He will always be there...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hello readers,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I want to show you something. It's a screenshot of the form which I have filled in for my elective placements in Malaysia.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">You see, I really like doing things which would make people be intrigued about Islam. With this form I filled in, I hope the lady who reads it would actually Google the words which I have used and would then understand what they mean. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've done other things as well. During our graduation in December 2012, I prayed at the pavement near the hall where the ceremony was held. I know a lot of people (my colleagues from my year) were walking around and I hope that by observing me, they would at least be curious & try to find out more about Islam. It's the same when I was in Lincoln in November. The only place to pray at the hospital was in the chapel. And I saw a corner where there is a glass window which would allow other people from various floors of the hospital to see me. So yeah, obviously I prayed there in hoping that someone would see me and who knows, Allah might open that person's heart to Islam one day. You never know.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I know, there are many more efficient ways of spreading Islam. But I choose to do these simple things as well. Because they're easy and they might be insignificant..but if I can touch a person's heart through these minuscule actions, that would mean so much.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Try it yourself. I know it's hard and sometimes you just don't feel comfortable but you get used to it once you make it a habit. I'm still practising myself, huhu.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">To show them the beauty of Islam; to make them feel the love towards the Almighty...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As always, since there is an unspoken (yeke?) tradition on my blog, the 23rd and final post for the year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I think I want to write about the recent daurah. Not the daurah itself but about the conversation I had with some of the doctors from Ireland. Well, the 2 doctors whom usually ask me about my medical life would definitely be Dr Ateeq and Dr Zaquan. So yeah, Dr Ateeq kept wishing me all the best with my final year studies. He always asks me about my progress when we meet up but truth be told, I just don't know how to answer it, hahaha. Simply because I'm not so confident with myself, heh. And it's great to have someone who keeps asking you about your progress despite you not having a proper answer for it :P I mean, I've known Ateeq even before I flew to the UK (I was with Syukri Choki2 when he made a phone call to invite us to go to Kamal bookstore. But we were already on our way to Genting Highlands at that time XD ) and I went to his wedding during the first summer holiday. Our encounters have always been brief but it was enough for him to remember me, lol. And yeah, he assured me that it's normal to feel that there are so much to be covered. So I still have hope, yeah!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And Dr Zaquan? I met him for the first time when my no. 5 was just blessed with a baby boy and we were on our way to QMC. That's when I learned that he's actually the husband of the twin of my no. 3's wife. Did that make sense? I hope so, haha. I told Syuk about the fact that I've just learned (okay, banyak pulak mention nama Syuk) and that's when we sort of made a plan that we shall try to find twins to become our wives. Because if we're married to twins, then we can see each other more often, hahaha. To be honest, it was a pretty good idea and I was into it for some time. Then I told Syuk that if our wives were siblings, that would work out as well, hehe. But that's that; Syuk and I have a long history of having crazy ideas. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">OHCM, maybe from now on I should start reading this ONLY ;|</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Let's get back to Dr Zaquan. I like him, he's pretty cool. He actually gave me so many tips to prepare for Finals that I sort of gave my shocker face :O in the end of our conversation cause it sounds like I have so much to do, huhu. He said that I need to do 3000 questions before Finals. My reaction, "WHAT?!". Since I only have till February, he said I could do 100 questions per day! :O See...shocker face, hahaha. He said that I should at least read the whole OHCM book before Finals which I think is reasonable. It's the kind of advice which I heard from previous seniors from Nottingham as well. He also commented that the final year medics from Ireland "<i>tak nak pergi daurah</i> (referring to this one)" and naturally, I backed them up saying that "<i>diorang nak exam dah tu, huhu</i>". I mean, the reason of why I attended this recent event was because I haven't been to a lot of them (national ones particularly) -_-" Ok, don't judge me, huhu. Since my failures from November last year, I took the time during weekends to prepare for my redemption in May 2013 in which I did well, alhamdulillah and again for November this year for the remaining 4th year exam. <strike>Bila result nak keluar???</strike></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That's when I realized that I feel bad for using medicine as a reason to be busy. So, I would like to apologize to everyone if I seemed to be selfish for using my academic matters as an excuse. I'm not one of those people who are so good in managing multiple tasks at one time. I'm okay with organization but when I have too many things on my plate, that's when I get distressed. That's why my dad wants me to send the car to be fixed after my Finals, he wants me to focus on #FebFinals first. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Oooo, there's a car? Haha, we'll talk about this later.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And look what I've got from someone special :D</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And my recent post on my friends who have left was probably because of the experience of not seeing them at our conferences (daurah). It was just so weird not seeing the familiar faces but I' m okay, heh.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This post was written a long time ago when Alif Ramli left me. It is a dedication to my friends who went back to Malaysia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I didn't want to publish this at that time because I already made a lot of posts about people leaving and bla3. Don't want people to think that I have a mental illness. So I postponed its publication to the last few days of 2013, hehe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">-BEGIN-</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yesterday was the day that Alif flew back to Malaysia. And with that, I can now write this post hehe..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's September.. it's the month of new beginnings and the time to welcome new people into my life. Easier said than done, that is if you are one of my close friends and know how difficult it is for me to accept new people into my social network. Many have tried and failed miserably - ok, ni poyo. </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">That's <a href="http://adlanwafi.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/gone.html" target="_blank">what I wrote on my whiteboard</a> since I said goodbye to Faiz Khalid. I didn't know why I wrote it though. I guess it's a constant reminder to me that I have to be prepared for the time to say goodbye. When Faiz left, it was such a horrible experience. It's like first year all over again. The peculiar feeling of emptiness. I mean, he only went back to Malaysia, it's not like he's going to the North pole, lol. But yeah, I guess I'm going to miss the times that he used to call me, the times when we talked about our mutarabbi and I have to get used to not seeing you at our conferences anymore.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And then, Aiman Ismail. Aku tak rindu kau Aiman, seriously. Hahaha. Sebab kau selalu call aku. So it's good, it's like you're still here but just 12 hours of flight away. I don't know why my phone callers have to leave me first. But I still have one around here. So I'll be fine iA. And Aiman, aku rasa macam nak balik Malaysia je sekarang & jumpa kau. But until that day comes, take care of yourself ok ;)</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Raja Abdullah Hakim and Alif Ketam</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Then, it's Raja Abdullah Hakim's turn. I really really really appreciate that you and the others came to <a href="http://www.adlanwafi.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/meet-me-halfway.html" target="_blank">my graduation</a> :D That you remembered my invitation from first year just made me feel happy to know that I'm not the only one with good memories, haha. And when you gave me the video of when I was walking on the stage on my graduation, I turned it into my inspiration. I watched that video over and over again when I was preparing myself for my 2nd chance in May 2013. It gave me the motivation to keep on going..that I will be doing it again in 2014, iA. And I also remember the time when I suddenly had an emotional outburst when I came to visit you guys in Manchester after visiting my mum. It was definitely because I had a tough time after the exams in November 2012 #RememberNovember. I think the outburst was reasonable; after all <a href="http://adlanwafi.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/dont-dream-its-over.html" target="_blank">I did fail 100 credits</a> ;P It was so funny and random but I just needed someone to talk to hahaha. And you handled that really well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then, it was Ikhwan Moeiid's turn. One thing about introverts like me is that it's hard for me to start a conversation. So when Moeiid was the one who talked to me first at a tom yam restaurant in KL in 2010, I began to appreciate him as a friend. The dinner was meant for seniors to get to know the juniors (read: DF) but a that time, we got to know each other. So yeah, that was awesome. And if you remember the time when I gave you a Mars chocolate egg during our first MPN; I know...it was out of the blue. It wasn't planned. I simply bought it at a fuel station when we were on our way and I planned to give it to any ikhwah that I would like to when I reached the venue. And I knew that your birthday was just a few days ago, so I chose you. Then, I made it a tradition of giving you chocolate eggs during MPN haha..except this year cause I didn't attend due to my #PrayforMay endeavour.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And it's Abdur Rahim. Well, you went on the same day with Fadhir Tahar. So, it was double farewell for me. Rahim, you know I would have come to the airport if you chose a weekend flight. That week was the last week of my attachment and it's hard to skip it like I did for Faiz Khalid or Akmal Aliff. And I still remember that you have a keychain to give me. Ok kidding. And I'm quite disappointed with myself that I didn't manage to bake a cake for your birthday. I really do. Because I did say that I wanted to. And you yourself managed to make tiramisu for me?! That was fantastic. I mean, who would make tiramisu for me? Hahaha. But thank you for remembering this promise after you cheated on a game that we played at JOM 2010 ;D Just on a side note, me and Faiz agreed to cheat in the game anyway after you left to join the winners, hahaha.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Then, there's Fadhir. Sorry Fadhir sebab still tak call until now huhu. Somehow, my trip to Newcastle in 2012 is still pretty vivid in my mind. The nasi lemak, the cows, the bridge, the cloudy weather, your awesome bedroom carpet - are just so clear in my mind. And I really like the gift from you cause I've been searching for something like that for quite some time but just couldn't choose one. And I use it everyday before I go to hospital. It's an awesome gift to make people remember you, haha. It's too bad that we couldn't run The Amazing Race together because firstly, we're not Americans lol and secondly, the Asian edition is cancelled -_-" But we did have a wonderful time designing The Amazing Race for <a href="http://adlanwafi.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/forget-you.html" target="_blank">SCUK 2012</a>. It was definitely one of my favourite projects till date. Sorry that I didn't want to include the U-turn. I just didn't want people to have bad feelings heh. And it was funny that you fell asleep next to me the night before The Amazing Race after you actually searched on YouTube for some inspiration. I was like, "Oh, come on. I'm not a boring partner". Haha, but yeah, thanks for picking up the phone whenever I gave you a ring :)</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's Ahmad Syafiq Hamzi turn next. I don't know why you're so obsessed with your name being mentioned in my blog :P Haha, I remember when you said that, "aku mimpi aku masuk dalam blog kau", lol Capek! Or you keep on teasing that I'm going to write a certain incident on my blog. Seriously, this blog is not that popular at all but I wrote </span><a href="http://adlanwafi.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/long-night.html" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">one for you </a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">anyway hehe. Do you remember the time when you chose me as your emergency point of contact/next of kin at the A&E? Aku terharu sorang-sorang kah3. No, seriously. I told Akmal Aliff about it and he lol-ed (read: past tense of lol) as well. Maybe I was sleepy at that time so I kinda have no control over my feelings ;P And thanks for the messages on FB. Unlike some of the people in this post, they just don't write to me! Lol, ok kidding. But really, thank you. You're probably the person who I usually harass first when I visit you guys in Manchester just because your room was on the ground floor. Now that you guys are not around, I'm struggling to find a reason for me to go to Manchester.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Obviously <a href="http://adlanwafi.blogspot.com/2013/08/never-let-me-go.html" target="_blank">Akmal Aliff</a>'s departure would affect me so much. After all, I came with him to Nottingham. So the feeling of emptiness was heightened when he left. And budak Notts ingat aku depress sebab aku tak dapat buat begedil, lol. Sebab kitorang ada open house a few days after your departure. I didn't tell anyone about this but I stayed in Nazmi's room when we were preparing for the open house for quite a long time cause I suddenly felt empty. And Bear even said that I looked depressed and he asked Syakir to diagnose me :P But I'm glad that you have a job now. So all is well iA. And I believe everything will be fine.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And it was Muhammad Hakim Razali's turn. I've always considered you as the person that I hang out with quite often during our summer break. Too bad I couldn't go home every year. We could have have had so much fun! Well, that's the price of being a medic. And I do remember that you kept saying</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">a few times</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> that I went to Liverpool without seeing you. It's funny cause the statement holds true till today haha. Even when I went to Liverpool to send Faiz off, I found out that you were with your family in another country heh. I guess we are only meant to meet each other in Selangor, haha. So yeah, I'm going to hold on to the plan that we're going to meet up next time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Muhamad Alif Ramli. The last person to leave me. Lol. Well, I know you kept mentioning that I ignored you when we were in MRSM TGB..that I usually walked past your classroom when you were sweeping the floor (I have to say that you have a really fascinating imagination haha); that we weren't that close back then..which was true. But we did become closer in the UK. That firstly I met you at MARA headquarters on the year before we flew off, and I met you again when I came to my 2nd choice university for the first time and from thereon it just clicked. Do you remember the time when you sent me a message on FB sometime in June 2012? I was like, "Apa la Alif nak dari aku??" Haha, it wasn't anything personal because aku selalu cop ikhwah kalau tanya khabar mesti nak bagi kerja. Kah3. But apparently you just wanted to know how I was doing. And we did that a few times as well over FB message and yeah, it was nice to do that because I'm an introvert and I do better with writing heh. Aku still nak tulis something kat kau every now and then masa 5th year ni (macam aku nak call Fadhir) tapi still tak dapat-dapat sebab terlupa or ada something else that I needed to do at that time heh.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ok tu je kot. Panjang dah post ni. My friends who left me in my 3rd year, I still remember you guys okay, Ahmad Shahrul Kamal, Za'ba, Ikmal Nordin, Yazid Fauzi, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Syahir Jamaluddin, </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Qassim, Khalil, Amir Aiman and so many others (jangan terasa pulak kalau aku tak tulis nama korang haha). Yang dah kahwin, I don't mind that much because I know you guys are in good hands heheh. And as well as for those who left me in 4th year but it felt like I haven't seen you guys since 3rd year, Rasydan Fitri, Izdihar Zuhdi, Muzhafar Hamzah, Andhar, Muzal and so many others! But I think I should stop now. Huhu.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Just before I leave, just want to make it clear that it's not only hard for those who were left behind; but apparently it is just as hard for those who actually left. These past few months have taught me that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Tambahan: By the way, I actually wrote the names of you guys in a list of friends that I will contact personally if I pass my exams back then in November 2012. But I failed dreadfully; so I didn't get to do that at all.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">-END-</span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I think it already rained..but I'm holding on to another day...</span></div>
