Fire,Fire....No?

Well, we had a fire drill today and we practically were "burning" standing under the sun. PCL was at 10.30 but at 9.50 the bell went off. Most of us did not even hear the bell as the lab was noisy. Then suddenly this announcement, "Due to emergency pls evacuate the building" went on and on over the speaker. Being good students, we were contemplating whether or not to carry our thinsg. Finally we left. Not knowing where to go, I just followed the crowd. No briefing nothing. Just stood under the sun for 15 min to take attendance. The whole finished 10 mins before PCL started. (Everyone was hoping the drill would be longer to avoid PCL).

The whole drill reminded me of what happened in my secondary school. During one of the drills, the fireman were there to see how fast we react and gather in case of a fire. And during the feedback session this was one of their observation: One teacher actually ran back into the class to get her hand bag. Imagine if it was a real fire?

Little doll

We had CPR class the other day and since we would be tested in our OSCE on it, my friends and I decided to practice our techniques. The infant dummy really reminded me of the dolls that I used to play with when I was small.
Just look......




Except that this one is choking and has a tube in it. Enjoyed playing with it rather than "compressing" it. My friends call it "Laveena Jr." but I am thinking for a better name. Suggestions ?

Slow down......







The early morning sky














The early birds that decided to jog.
Where am I?











Beautiful sunset















Lighthouse















The sea: Blue and clean







Some Pics from the camp.

Time is flying super fast these days. I feel like I just started classes and yet it is already 1 month and exams are soon. I should be studying : The most important word in that sentence "should".

I still have my PCL (patient centered learning) to do. After doing PBLs for months PCL seems almost the same. The only difference is that in PCL it concerns more about the patient ie. their characters and how life has changed because of their problems while in PBL we are more interested in the diagnosis. And my group have decided to split the learning issues so I feel like I am doing less.

Finally

After days of bad internet connection, I am back. Feels so good to be back. I wonder if I can ever survive without internet connection for couple of days.

New uni life seems to be fun. Still miss my old friends though. Transition camp in PD was fun though tiring. Had to do early morning jogs up the hill and jungle trekking. But the jungle trekking was kinda of interesting. The beautiful scenery of the sea from the top of the lighthouse was breathtaking. Imagine seeing the Port Dickson sea clean and blue. Still waiting for the camp pictures from my friends.

Classes have started so it is back to books. Most of the days lectures start at 8. This means I have to wake up extra early to avoid the jam. I miss those days, where I can still sleep till 6.50 if classes were at 8.
