A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.' There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.

That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognised his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?' The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.' What he had written was:'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.'

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have.

Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

Invite others towards good with wisdom.

Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets.

When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you h av e 1000 reasons to smile.

Face your past without regret.

Handle your present with confidence.

Prepare for the future without fear.

Keep the faith and drop the fear.

The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling…

And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!

DaRaH & KiTa

Adakah jenis darah yang mengalir dalam tubuh kamu mampu menggambarkan personaliti sebenar diri kamu sendiri? Menurut salah sebuah institut di Jepun, kajian yang dilakukan ke atas jenis-jenis darah yang mengalir di dalam tubuh manusia ternyata mampu memberi gambaran terdekat mengenai keperibadian individu itu sendiri. Ingin berkongsi rahsia mengenainya?

"DARAH O "

Individu yang memiliki jenis darah dari kategori ini disifatkan sebagai individu yang setia, sabar dan sentiasa yakin terhadap keupayaan dan kebolehan diri sendiri. Selain itu individu dari kategori ini juga sering bersifat ingin menjadi ketua walau dalam apa jua perkara yang ingin dilakukan khususnya yang melibatkan kerja-kerja berkumpulan. Sekiranya menginginkan sesuatu, kamu akan berusaha untuk mencapai matlamat tersebut walau dalam apa cara sekalipun. Ada kalanya kamu dikatakan memiliki sifat cemburu yang agak kuat. Selain itu kamu juga terlalu serius dalam persaingan sehinggakan ia mampu memberikan tekanan kepada diri kamu sendiri. Oleh yang demikian kamu harus lebih bijak mengawal emosi diri mu agar tidak dikuasai dengan tekanan.

"DARAH A"

Keharmonian dan keamanan adalah matlamat utama dalam hidup kamu. Kamu gemar melakukan kerja-kerja secara berkumpulan dan kamu juga gemar melibatkan diri dengan berpersatuan. Kamu bijak bergaul dengan individu di sekeliling mu dan ternyata mereka juga sentiasa berasa senang untuk bekerjasama dengan mu. Sikap sensitif, sabar, dan bertimbang rasa yang ada dalam diri kamu itu melambangkan bahawa kamu tergolong dalam kategori individu yang memiliki keperibadian penyayang. Walau bagaimanapun ada kalanya kamu agak degil dan terlalu kuat bekerja sehinggakan tidak mengendahkan langsung waktu untuk berehat. Kamu harus ingat, kesihatan juga perlu diutamakan. Jangan kerana terlalu leka dengan kerja-kerja kamu itu, kesihatan diri pula yang terabai.

"DARAH B"

Sempoi! Itulah ungkapan yang paling rapat dengan mu. Kamu lebih selesa dengan kesederhanaan. Dalam perhubungan pula kamu adalah individu yang terlalu jujur dan lebih gemar berterus terang dalam apa jua perkara. Dalam melaksanakan sesuatu tugasan yang diberikan, kamu lebih gemar melaksanakannya dengan cara kamu sendiri. Kamu adalah individu yang kreatif dan fleksibel, mudah bagi diri kamu untuk meletakkan diri sendiri dalam apa jua situasi mahupun kelompok golongan tertentu. Kamu adalah individu yang bijak bersosial. Namun ada kalanya sikap kamu yang gemar berdikari dan tidak gemar meminta bantuan orang lain itu, mampu mendatangkan masalah buat diri mu dan sekali gus memperlihatkan kelemahan pada diri sendiri. Kamu harus ingat bahawa, tidak semua perkara kita boleh menyelesaikannya secara bersendirian.

"DARAH AB"

Tenang dan bijak mengawal emosi, itulah keperibadian yang jelas terpancar dalam diri individu yang tergolong dalam kategori darah berjenis AB ini. Kamu juga sentiasa menghormati orang lain dan ini menjadikan individu yang berada di sekeliling mu berasa selesa untuk berdampingan dengan mu. Kamu juga memiliki sikap humor semula jadi dalam diri dan sentiasa bersikap menghiburkan dan ceria. Namun ada satu perkara yang harus kamu perbaiki dalam diri kamu itu. Kamu perlu lebih bijak dan berani untuk membuat keputusan sendiri. Jangan biarkan orang lain membuat keputusan untuk diri kamu sendiri.

* I'm O-type person.. What about u?

FOURTH WEEK

Second last week was not very hectic. We learnt about gastrointestinal tract or commonly called GI tract. Not so much new things, because we already learned this during our secondary school. Just a few adds here and there. The schedule for this week also was not packed compared to the second week. Probably because the lecturers wanted to give us time to study as we will sit on the exam on the week after. I want to share a few things that I learned before. GI tract is a continues tube-like tract in the body begins at mouth and ends at anus and its function is to digest food and absorbs nutrient essential for the body. Those which are nonessential is eliminated through a process called deafecation. Digestion mostly occurs in the small intestine. In order to digest food, there were lots of muscle movements(peristalsis and segmentation) and secretions (saliva, gastric juice, pancreatic juice, bile) occured. The movements and secretions are controlled by the nervous system and also endocrine system. Apparently, the muscle movements are all involuntary reaction. However, some secretions are controlled by nervous and some are controlled by the endocrine system due to hormone regulation. The most common hormones involve in this process are Cholecystokinin (CCK), secretin, Gastrin and Gastric Inhibitory Peptide hormone. CCK stimulates the secretion of pacreatic juice and the contraction af gall bladder. Secretin stimulate the production of bicarbonate ion (to neutralise the chyme). Gastrin enhances the secretion of pepsinogen and HCl in gastric juice also stimulate the growth of stomach cell. GIP inhibits the secretion of Gastric juice (when no food enters).

THE THIRD WEEK

It was the "bestest" week of all the weeks although it was very tiring.. I had to woke up at 5 in the morning.. We had a round tour at Sg Buloh's hospital, Selayang's hospital and Primary Care clinic. We also need the signature of the dr that were responsible for our activities. I did had a lot of fun time there and of course there were bitter memories too. But I prefered not to remember the bad ones.

Going to Sg Buloh..yey!

Our first hospital was Sg Buloh's hospital. We were welcomed by nobody so we wandered around the hospital and lastly aour class rep asked the clerk in the office. Then, we were brought to the lecturers' office. We had a short chit-chat with Dr Omkara Rubini Lingam (I thought he was a "he" but apparently he had turned to "she"..hehe). Actually, she is the one who was in charge with our visit to Sg Buloh. The first day there had been the "capture photos" day. We were brought around the hospital, to several wards and to the lab clinic (the clinic used by medical students for their practical).

Tu sambut raya ke?? ~^

Girls are dominant and the power is in our hands..yeah!

Who's the patient???? Who's the doctor???
And we had been caught red-handed playing with the weelchair..
huhu..

We have to wear labcoats in the hospital.. *peace*
Who's that guy?? Couldnt see his face..
I guess the camere didnt like him..ahk2

I still remember this ENT specialist that was in charge of us in Sg Buloh, her name is Dr ruzanna I think. She was very kind towards us. She motivates to become a persistent dr in the future. The funny part was she had a lot of advices on our marital age, on how to be a good dr and a good wife and also how to choose a husband.. funny because i never think about that yet.. What I can say, she is a good dr.

On wednesday, we had our visit to Selayang Hospital. The surrounding was really different compared to sg Buloh. There were lots of medical student too. We could see medical students anywhere we go. We were welcomed by Prof Hashim, a gyne (thank God!) and we also attended his class with the 3rd year medical student. I felt awkward because we actually didn't involved in the class but we "WERE" in the class. The lecture hall was superb. There were video cameras on the ceiling and our face suddenly appeared on the scrin. haha.. Seems like stars..There was also a technician room at the back of the class. Just like the studio where the artist do recording. In other word, it was amazing and really comfortable compared to our current lecture hall. On top of that, we didn't understand what were they talking about. If I were the third year student, I will be very tense. Ya, you know when people watching, you will never feel normal, rite? Then we were split to 2 groups. I was in the first group. My group was supposed to have a tour in the medical ward. The doctor who was responsible to lead us is very handsome (that's the main point) and respectable although he is literally strict. "Dont touch my patient", "The patient's condition was confidential", "I cannot emphasize more on that".. Those were his words that he said repeatedly. But seriously, he is HANDSOME. (Oh, I fell in love with him..hehe). He let us to interview his patient. He also taught us the technique of interviewing the patient: What should be asked, what should not, how to ask systematically, what is the criteria needed to be asked to the patients and others. The experience of interviewing the patient was a memorable experience. Thanks to our patient who was very cooperative.

girls power at Selayang's lecture hall..
really BIG isnt it?

I am the technician woman..hehe (change profession)

In the evening, we were supposed to visit the surgery ward but somehow the lecturer werent there. We waited the whole evening for nothing. One sure thing is, waiting is really tiresome. We also lack one signature that day. huh!.. I was not sure if i like this hospital or not. On the next day, we had ou r visit to the peadiatrics and gynecologist wards. Both were interesting wards.the kids were so cute although they were sick. The labour rooms were fulled!! and we had ann experience of watching a newborn baby in the resuscitation room. It was really fascinating watching the baby squirmed. How small he is! This remind me to the powerful God who gives us life and capable of take that back anytime He wants. Unfortunately for the other group, they didnt had any tour at all on that day. There werent any lecturers came to them. They were really frustrated waiting or the whole day long for nothing.

Finally, the visit to hospital was finished. We also visit the primary care clinic in Tmn Ehsan, Kepong.. There were crowd of patients in the clinic. The purpose of going to this clinic is to brief us in the importance of primary care. The lecturer that gave the speech was handsome and he delivered it energetically. After that, we were allowed to tour around the clinic. We were also free to asked any questions to the waiting patients. The best part was when I was in the OPD (Out patient department).The dr asked us to help him..haha.. i felt thrilled..Unfortunately, we didnt take any photos there.. huhu
