The Invitation (M.D) vs (MBBS)

yeah finally ~ Alhamdulillah

the offer letter has arrived and I'm going. yep..

will be flying to Makassar, Indonesia this 5th of August

and yep under "Dana Kecermelangan Tajaan UiTM"

77 of us. :). we are going to be a big big family. <3
and "lucky" us we are going to celebrate our 1st syawal there. grrrr..haha!

this is my decision so I guess I just have to bear with it.

I know its going to be tough & challenging but InsyaAllah I can get through this.

First year med student of Hasanuddin University.

NO to Ijazah Sarjana Muda Perubatan Veterinar UMK

NO to Ijazah Sarjana Muda Fisioterapi UiTM

YES to Bachelor of Medical (M.D) Doctor of Medicine

so yes,,,, actually why the M.D? someone asked me?

why not MBBS?

 YEAH, I did search, THROUGH the internet about this and this is what I found

FIRST OF all let me define the word 

M.D (Doctor of Medicine)

MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine & Bachelor of Surgery)

well even though the words are quite different but its basically just the same course..

only the name MBBS suggests that they are two separate degrees; however, in practice, they are usually treated as one and awarded together and it's the same as M.D 

so IN CONCLUSION M.D is equal MBBS.

cuma M.D  digunakan di US and MBBS digunakan di INDIA dan sebgainya.

this is what I got from  http://leokid.wordpress.com/2010/08/01/beza-md-dan-mbbs-mbchb/

 "Yang membezakan MBBS dan MD hanyalah pada negara yang mentauliahkan ijazah tersebut sahaja. Negara-negara bekas komanwel seperti India, Australia, Indonesia lebih cenderung menggunakan istilah MBBS, manakala negara-negara lain (American, Russia dll) menggunakan istilah MD. Itu sahaja."

FAHAM X?

yeah.. :)

 Dr.Muhammad Farid
it sounds good but yeah its going to be a long ,tough yet an exquisite journey.

whatever it is, wish me all the best guys!

muahxx! xoxoxoxo ! XD

Yes. It's been a long time since I wrote. Am just too lazy..

So , the letter has arrived and here we go. 

Pelajar2 tajaan for further luar negara to kem bina negara.

It's compulsory.wajib for pelajar yang nak ke overseas under any tajaan to complete their courses in Birotatnegara module before further their studies. Fail to do so? yeah u can't fly! SIMPLE.

67 of us from Universiti Teknologi Mara mostly from foundation programme and 10++ from KYUEM from A-level programme.

"Don't worrylah..relax we will have a great time, right or not farid?" Aiman smiled just before we headed to kuala kangsar at UiTM Shah Alam on that first day.

yeah I'm pretty sure it was a blast and "boring" trip. its not my first time  to the BTN camp . but this one was different and quite "enjoyable"

yeah that "enjoyable" moment when my name was called by the head commander.

I can recall the vibe,my heart was thumping in my chest so fast and that was it. I'm the penghulu of the camp. shit happened and it sucks. NIGHTMARE do comes true.

this is all because of aiman's mulut masin. pftttt..and aiman became the timbalan penghulu! haha!

so 1st day agak blur and twisty, as penghulu I have to give out commands of permission lah pelah and sgt leceh! I have to remember all the commands according to their specific order and only god knows how annoying it was.
5 days. isnin to jumaat. agagagagaga..hostel dia agak okay and pagi sgt sejuk! ptg sgt panas.
every morning kena kawad then byk makan! i mean breakfast then brunch,after that lunch and tea time , dinner and last but not least late dinner. seriously makanan dia agak sucks at first but we just have to endure it..
and we also have to finish the physical exam as we have to ran for about 2 km in 15 min and I manage to complete the run in 11.06~ LAME! 
AND FPOR THE LAST DAY WE HAVE TO SAT FOR AN EXAM...
haha...and I hope I pass the exam if x kena repeat and i really dont want to!!!!!!!! :P

mlas nak cerita panjang2..overall byk dpt info and also new friends yang akan fly sama2 nanti...ada gak yg going to UK taking engineering..everyone seems nice and approachable .

whatever it is...I'm still waiting for the offer letter of Indonesia Medical programme under tajaan UiTM. harap2 dapat la.. amin! 

Final (11th June 2012)

"farid,farid!" a sweet voice rang in the air,the soft firm tone carried into my external acoustic meatus ,gave a light vibration to my tympanic membrae passing through all the anatomy of my ear. It was my mom..6.30 A.M and,she told me to get ready for the interview and I was like (-___-)!!! shito!. 

yes THE INTERVIEW. that interview. 

Indonesia Medical Programme under the collaboration with UiTM.

anxious and nervous. agagagag..

and guess what...

8.33 A.M I was late! gosh. (at bangunan canseleri UiTM Shah Alam)

I went into the auditorium and jama' was there waving! "farid here! sit"

so I decided to sat beside hanna . and mizah was there too..

there were only 25 of us that day. 8++ from diploma and others from foundation prgramme.

and guess what, only 4 boys were there including myself. talk about extinction! 

so yes I had to attend 2 interviews that day. one with the UiTM board and another one with the indonesians.

It was a 3 days interviews. group 1 on monday, group b on tuesday and so on.

so I'm in the group 1

dr Fauzan said that out of 240++ applicants only 80 were selected to the interview.

well, nothing much to say.

the 1st interview was with the UiTM staffs. 

(dr.Ramlan,Prof hamim and miss I dont remember her name)

all of them are from the faculty of medicine UiTM shah alam.

so it went well but I was a lil bit blur and speechless.

The interviewers barely asked me any question, they just asked me to explain about myself. 

so I have to speak up for the whole 15 minutes without a stop and when I ran out of ideas I came up with the same story all over again...BORING farid! yeah.

(-___-).but anyway it was OKAY....at the end of the interview Dr.ramlan asked me if I had any question so yes I came up with this question,

"when can I get my letter of acceptance"

and he said that I will get it after 2 weeks of the interview so I guess I have to wait. AGAIN!.AGAGAGagagag..

SO ANYWAY 

yeah  the 2nd interview went pretty well

alhamdulillah. 

 there were many questions asked.

these are some of the questions they asked me during the interview session 

explain yourself?

why do you want to become a doctor?

what do you know about medical?

I'm a smoker for ten years and describe what kind of disease I may have and explain the details?

What do you know about medical ethics?

what do you think about abortion and suicide bomber?

what and how do you know about hasanuddin unversity?

I can say that it was pretty easy but tricky.

and it was quite hard to understand the accent used by the indonesians

PEKAT GILA OKAY.

but I think I nailed the second interview! yeah! 

NOW I JUST HAVE TO WAIT.

PRAY FOR ME OKAY. THANKS. THAT'S ALL OKAY.

*pstt ...thanks yana! my beloved senior, yana also came to the interview~dh mcm kaunter informasi dh kat situ.. hihi..

Amin

kalau ada rezeki ada lah..

Fearful

When my mom finally open her mouth and told me to visit the dental clinic and she really meant it.. I touched my nose eight times to the surface of the dinner table. CRAP. yeah . 

swollen gums, tootache, headache.

I've been dealing with them since last month. and its getting bad. yeah. 

"Well?" she asked and raised her faint, penciled eyebrows. "would you go to the dental clinic tomorrow's morning"

I looked down to the floor pretending to examine the fascinating plain tile

so yeah,with a lil bit of regrets and hesitation I said, "okay mom, i'll go"

shit, i had to surrender. have to get over of one of my biggest fear.

DENTAL CHECK UP.

goosebumps.grrrrrrr..

so yes I went to the dental clinic and guess what....

by just one single look into my mouth the dentist make me a referral letter to go to the hospital for the dental surgery department!

SHIT HAPPENS!

and yeah I went to the hospital and already make my appointment .....my first dental surgery~

2nd of July . BIG DAY IT IS.\
but "lucky" me I have to postponed my surgery to 25th July

enough said I'm quite nervous and anxious.I hate dentist and I hate dental clinic.

 so here is my diagnosis.

Impacted third molar teeth.

cause : unknown

treatment : minor surgery (extraction of the lower left third molar by local anesthetic of the alveolar nerve)

:(.I'm completely doomed~
