FInish Exam!!!

Wah..
finally...

I've finish the so called "MOST DIFFICULT EXAM ever.."

The'd better make the passing mark lower..if not, 80% of 4th year medics will balik kampung..

Hmm..the exam was just 1 MCQ n 1 OSCE.. all in 1 day..sounds easy rite..

The MCQ (multiple choice question) in the morning, hmm, actually not really multiple choice.. cos only 2 choices..true or false questions..

Total of 50 x 5 questions.. The questions..whoa.. i think you have to be the writer of the book oni can answer 1.. depends on which book somore..

If you write Impey (the book that most use) u can answer 60% + 10 % self deduction..
10% from journals.. another 10 % from google search the last 10% from the 1 who set question punya experience..

Conclusion, susah..

The OSCE (supposed 2 be an oral n physical examination part) consist of 22 stations, 2 hours ++
Manatau, kena tipu..end up only 5 question that got manusia..the other stations all self directed, have to answer on the spot..stress, but the fastest 2 hour ever..

Good news is, its OVER!!!
Bad News is, results is yet to come..

Hopefully this is OVER FOREVER...haha..

How to increase mental performance?

During exam period, my brain automatically switch to the sleepy-all-the -time mode as a natural mechanism to protect me from harm... "Exam stimulus" send a signal to the hypothalamus of my brain and thus trigger the negative feedback mechanism n results in the inhibition of my waking up cycle... So, i guess it is not reeli my fault that i failed to stay awake n study..

Prophylaxis has to be taken to prevent this auto-mechanism that 50% of the population suffer from... common age group 15- 25. male n female equally affected..

How to stay alert at night?

I've tried a lot of methods to try n counter this mechanism which surprisingly is only triggered by exams..

Ish..my friend suggested mandi air sejuk, or exercise, jump about, or simply choose the right time..

1am is the most sleepy time of the day in a normal human..So from 1 - 2 am try to do stg not that boring (study)?

1) The conventional method that most would prefer:

Randomised controlled trial proven to be useful

Pros: cheap n can be easily bought over the counter..

but after using for long term, the body is now immune to it...

2) Cheap tesco energy drink:

Pros: Cheap..1.55 pds for 6 botol.. (not proven to work)

Common Side effects: Headache, dizziness in high dosage.. some complained of rashes after drinking..

3) Newer Methods

Pros: less side effects, so far doesnt cause dizziness.. increase mental alertness as stated on the bottle

Cons: expensive, contains sugar...mayb lead to diabetes in long term..

Pros: Sugar free, increase mental performance, reflex action, alertness..

Common Indication: sports, study

Side effects: not known

Cons: expensive la..most expensive of them all..

Status: Currently under trial.. tomoro see I die onot..haha

4) Complementary Medicine

Not known of effectiveness, but prefered by lots of ppl.. especially those from south east asia (e.g: indons).. Can be used inconjunction with other methods...

Side Effect: Fat.. overdose causes sleepiness

Contra-indication: Obesity

If all else fails, palliative measures can be taken to make the patient die at ease...


1 glass of red wine n tido...then tunggu mati... (pray that u get the questions in your dreams)

Inform family and friends of the risk of failure...

Stupid

There is only 1 word that I can use to describe myself right now..

S.T.U.P.I.D..

I'm supposed 2 go to the hospital to give some blood for an "Oat Experiment" that i'm on.. (for more details on Oat Experiment, refer to glossari)

As usual, with my now-rusted-bicycle, i cycled to the bus stop to wait for shuttle bus.. Upon reaching, I see a bunch of people waiting somewhere there.. without thinking, I assumed that they were all waiting for the shuttle as well.. since all the new students came in already, so should be normal to have that many ppl waiting for shuttle (normally only jarang- jarang 2 manusia)

Hmm..it did caught my attention that the freshers this year looked abit old.. I stoood beside them and waited together..

5 mins later..yeai..here comes the shuttle.. me still partially dreaming, just looked at the shuttle, as it made its way pass the whole bunch of ppl.. I din even make an effort to flag it down, since its quite obvious that so many ppl are waiting..

ZOOOMMMMMMM... I suddenly came back to earth..

The shuttle went past.. nobody said anything.. no reaction also... i looked at them, they r still talking like b4...

They r not even waiting for the shuttle!!!

Eh..I'm not even really in the right spot that the shuttle normally stop.. argh..
what was I thinking...
If i walk away now it'll be so obvious how stupid I am.. to miss the shuttle right in front of me..
Jaga muka abit, i took out my fone n pretend to look at it, then slowly walk away..

(another usage of iphone.. whenever u feel awkward or shy or weird, u can just take it out n look, n there's plenty to do with it..)


Glossari

Oat Experiment - An experiment that i signed up for, where all u need to do is eat oats for a month, n keep a food diary for a week and give 3 blood samples.. free oats breakfast for 1 month.. n u get 50 pds at the end..
