Day 15



9th October 2017

This is it. Today is the day where I will begin my official Medical Studies at RCMP (Royal College of Medicine, Ipoh). Although the classes had started 2 weeks ago, today is the first day that we learned about Anatomy, Physiology and etc. I woke up early today, around 6.50 a.m., and was full of enthusiasm to begin my days although I realise that what I will be embracing would be a huge storm. Anyway, the first class was Fundamental English in which the lecturer introduced herself and made us to form groups of 6 people. As usual, my group was the last one to be formed since everyone already have their groups of friends from their Foundation. There are 4 guys and 2 girls in my group and I think we would make a great group. I just don’t want them to be lazy and unproductive like the previous students that I dealt with. Then, after the class ended, I immediately rushed to Blue Lecture Theatre as I wanted to get the front sit and thankfully, I got the front sit and the other boys joined me. “A good start is essential for great success”, I silently thought. The first lecture was about Introduction to FOMS – 1 where Prof. Muniandy was just explaining about the module. The next lecture was on Anatomy – Cell division. I have went through the slides yesterday night and it was not that hard to comprehend. The lecture was really fun as Prof. Myo Than made a lot of jokes during the lecture. He also highlighted on certain things that we should concentrate as they ‘may’ be tested during the exam. While I was in the lecture theatre, I pondered on the knowledge that lies in that brain of Prof. Myo Than. If only I can see through it, how wonderful it would be. I think I also got myself confused as I did not know whether to write my notes in the slides or in a notebook. After much self-debate, I decided to write notes on both – main notes in the notebook and notes relating to images in the slides. The class ended at 12.30 pm and all of the students rushed out of the theatre. I had a question to ask Prof. so, I stayed until other students left. After that, I decided to have spaghetti for my lunch and planned to go to Padi House. Unfortunately, it started drizzling and I was forced to resort to the library. After the rain had slowed, I walked to Padi House and had their Tomato Spaghetti that cost me RM13.50 (after student discount). I came back to the library to make my notes for today’s lecture and also took recording of a lecturer for IMedik event. That’s all for today, folks.
