Pages is a great help!

As a psychology student, our lives are full of researches. This time its my second research report to finish within the deadline. To gain the marks for correct format, it is a MUST to follow APA format. (Try google APA format if you want to know more of it.)

I'm beyond crazy as there's a hell lot of rules for the format.

But thanks to Pages I've been rescued.

It's super easy to do my research proposal as the format is already fixed and set in the program. You just need to click it and start typing! 

Pages gave a range of templates for every needs. You can choose from blank documents, letter, envelopes and many more! It has templates for brochures and powerpoint presentation too! And the slideshows and animations are a lot more than Microsoft Powerpoint. (oops)

Here's the template I need. My research paper.

And here's the pre-done sample of report, I just need to type in at the provided spaces and I'm done! You can even save your own version of template for future use.

Now when you're done with your work, you can just click the File tab and save! You can also choose to save in Word Document version. It will be in Word 97-2004 file type. Now you can open and edit your file in Microsoft Word! 

Pages is available in Apps Store for purchase! Hurry and it really make your work easier. 

It's available for Mac and iPad too!

Wake up call

I was waiting for tudou to load in Aimst. YAY!!! Luckily the page can load. I'll kill the IT Division if they ban tudou just like the others.


But then, I saw my just-printed notes on the table with me.  One whole BIG BIG pile of them. *heart was leaping then fell to the ground- broke*

 EXAMS AGAIN.

The printer is my good friend now. 

It seemed like I had just finish one exam then there comes another! Whistling round the corner.

If my boyfriend comes this fast I'll be happy forever. 

Exams made pimples grow. 

I went to a skin specialist to get rid of my pimples. It works!!! I have pimple-free face for a month(except for scars).

Now I sense a gigantic one is coming on my nose. One on the forehead. 

PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE....=((((

Exams made me fat. F-A-T.

See what I bought especially for shutting myself up in the hostel room??

Okay okay. Control. Click the [X] on the tudou website, plug out the internet cable and STUDY.
This time I really mean it.

Tomorrow due date for Histology assignment and I just finish it today. *wuwuwuu..='(
Slow poke=((((

Altogether 36 histology microscopic slides to draw and I hate my stupid colour pencils!!!
Luckily I finished it at last!!

Respiratory System exam. =0

I'm sorry folks.
Have been sleeping since I got home on Friday.
I had finished my Continuous Assessment on Respiratory System. >>>>,<<<<

EXHAUSTED.

Sleepless nightsomg.

Well, the questions were ok. But I only can do about half-half.

Station 1 - Physical Examination

The volunteer patient was sweet. In the sense of smiling shyly. hehe.
I'm so sorry for him because my hands were cold and he got a shock everytime I touched his chest.
Here's some of the palpations and percussions photos we have to do which I got from the net.

Flepping tremor

Tracheal shift examination

Chest expansion

Tactile fremitus / Vocal fremitus

Percussion

Take a look at this.

Why the examiner's nails SO LONG??!!!

There's a station requiring us to perform endotracheal intubation procedure. I start doing the intubation from the inserting the blade of laryngeoscope and lifting the blade until the opening of vocal cords can be seen. Then I insert the endotracheal tube into the trachea till the marking 124. Inflate the cuff with a syringe. I thought I have finished doing it so I looked at Dr Girish and started deflating the cuff and removing the tube.
Dr Girish looked at me and said 'Everything that is here must be used.'

Then I saw the ambu bag.    omg.
I wanted to repeat the procedure but Dr Girish said times up. sht.
He repeated what he mentioned :'Everything that is here must be used.'
He handed me the stethoscope and the tape but I did not know what to do.
He asked me to stop and answer the questions on the paper instead.

I'm sorry Dr Girish I really did not learn those.

Laryngeoscope.

Ambu bag. ( the one I forgot. grr.)

The mannequin similar to ours.

Cuffed endotracheal tube and pivot and syringe.

Other questions were interactive or written ones.
Not much to write cause I forgot what were the questions. =P

Oh, a BAD BAD BAD thing happened to us after the OSCE/OSPE session.
Our session is from 8 something to 10 something.
We came out at 11am and were supposed to be quarantined in MDLabs until 2pm so that we cannot tell the others whose session were timed 2pm what came out for exam.
2PM!!!!!
It was such a long time and what are we supposed to do inside? Since we've finished our exams! Stupid.
So you can guessed what we have done.
Yes we ran away.
Four of us were quite happy when we reached hostels. Finally can get some sleep.
Then Ang called.
Bad news.
We were marked absent for the quarantine and if we don't come back we shall get ZERO for OSCE/OSPE.
What is this???
We went back at last but N.N Kumari has left.
Reluctantly we went in the lab and stayed there.
Stomachs growling already. Planned to go out to have something nice to eat and watch Megamind.
At last at 2pm we can leave.
But no N.N Kumari!!!
All our batchmates left but we have to stay!!
Oh no. Our fault for leaving while they stayed.
So this is balasan. 报应. =(

Waited and waited and waited.
Finally N.N Kumari showed up.
Once she heard the word attendance list she frowned and said NO NO NO.
We tried apologizing and explaining but she just lift her head and said NO NO NO again, then left.
arghh......
I know it was our fault but I felt deflated. Like the cuff I couldn't see at the endotracheal tube.
Shuwen's eyes watered. I saw but I dare not say anything more. I was too afraid she might cry. ='(

So what will be our destiny? Hope it won't be too harsh or serious.
God help us, please.




That's all for now! Going to sleep. Tomorrow celebrating my mom's birthday!!
Going to Qbay and The Ship. Hoots*.
(sudden mood swing) =D

Skills.

Well, tomorrow is going to be my day of clinical skills examination for Respiratory System.
I really like these skills-learning more than theory, writing a whole lot of essay till my hand hurts blablabla.

Still, have to study for the skills lab.
I'll come back to this later I promise. Stay tune!! =)

May be one of my exam OSCE questions. 

De-stressing Machine

Oh my god.

Exams again and again.

Its not even one month after my last CA test.

ARGGHHH.

I'm gonna bite my pen too.

To my batchmates who are also fighting out there, add oil!!!

De-stress is a must.

I'm blogging. 

=P

These few days I'm very relax. Until some level that people thought I'm not a student. 

Whenever its near exams, I try to run away.

Maybe I'm too scared to face it, that's why I throw my notes aside and watch dramas non-stop.

DRAMAS!!!!!

They saved me from stress, after saving me, they kill me with exam results. =(

Maybe at the first time I shouldn't let them save me??

hmmm.. 

Here's something that made my day. =)

Teehee. 

Made me laugh rolling over. =D

Here's the so-cool booby man.

So cute isn't he? =P

Gonna study. Bye peeks.☮   

Downs.

Bad news.

I've been pretending that I'm ok. I'm not. I'm not strong enough to show my sadness and disappointments to the world but inside there's a tornado twisting roughly. I don't want people to pity me, I don't want people to look down on me. I know I can do it if I wanted to.

Those around me might have checked. Yes, I failed my MCBM 1 paper. Been called for VIVA but still couldn't get through it. I'm strong enough to put it down here, just to say I'm really sorry. I'm not useless. I'm just stupid enough to waste my time and run away from studies. Should've studied while I have the time.

Batchmates have been posting their happiness on Facebook. I read all of them, sharing their joy of completing first year, while feeling sad for myself. With nobody in my shoes to talk to. How could I ruin their happiness with my sorrow? How could I possible want them to share my bad news while they are celebrating their good ones?

It's all my own stupid fault. I admit my weakness and foolishness. The blame is all on me. But there's no turning back. I don't own a time machine that can bring me back in time. The only possible, sensible thing for me to do right now is to look forward. Prepare for the better and the worse, and grow up.

Friends, please support me. I've learnt my lesson well and properly.

Papa, Mummy, please don't be too angry. I promise I shall prepare everything on time.

Ningxi, please stand up and smile. God has everything in His hands.

Father, please help me. Let your great wisdom and strength come upon me and help me up again. with the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Christmas!!!!! and exams.... !!

It's been a long time again since I've bothered to update my bloggie.. Been lazy... X)

Time really has been flying. It's December already and guess what, CHRISTMAS is coming!!!! This is the festive I love most!!! Gifts, carols, shopping, eating, cheers.... Everything about christmas just makes you smile =)

Christmas this year will be a mess. The factor is EXAMS.

Exams are just around the corner... It just pricks you hard when you are dreaming about christmas plans and suddenly remembered about the heaps of books you haven't studied... Why do I pick such a course??

Sometimes I might think that this route is not for me... I don't mean I have no abilities to pass through those 5 insane years, but my lifestyle just doesn't suit into the picture.

I felt quite distressed about me picking the wrong route but I can't bear with the consequences of me not continuing my course.

Just a little voice calling out maybe, just MAYBE... If you see my wearing Sarong Kebaya on Singapore airlines or MAS airlines, don't be too surprised.. I may have picked the pretty Sarong Kebaya over those boring white coats and stethoscopes.

Anyway, this MIGHT happen. Just to come back to reality, it had been 4 months in my degree and I have been enjoying myself A LOT.

Trips, shopping, birthdays , I even started to enjoy classes. Things all around us are unlimited and learning new things seemed to reveal part by part the knowledge the universe holds. It makes you feel alive. I start to appreciate the people around me, not knowing when we have too part. I started to appreciate the things around me as well, knowing how lucky I am now by having the chance of happiness which others may not have a chance of holding to.

Thanks to all those around me and those who are not. They taught me the lesson of holding on and letting go. Not to appreciate only when things are gone.

Still, I have to stop being lazy.

STUDY is the only thing I should do now.

My good friend for this hour - BOSS coffee latte.
