i swear i've read it somewhere

you have just finished reading a chapter and decided to take a short rest.

so you decide to go online to unwind. while, looking through your contact list, musing yourself with some of your friends witty statuses (medical students do have their own whimsical sides okay?!). and then, that one friend is online. and his status is intriguing.

why?

because he is using medical terms. you know you've read it somewhere in the book before but you can't recall which page exactly the term is located. or which chapter for.

that is the point where you start to get curious. you flip through the pages back to back. trying to locate the term.

you know it is somewhere in there. somewhere on the left side of the book, in the middle paragraph. written in bold, italic letters.

but no, you don't find it.

you decide to go through the book again and this time you are flipping through the pages furiously because you start to get anxious. how on earth you can forget what you just read say.. yesterday?!?!

forget about unwinding your mind from all those non stop studying for hours. forget about getting that short rest. you need to know what's the meaning of that word like RIGHT NOW.

and when you still can't find anything that is when you become frustrated. frustrated with your pathetic memory. frustrated with your book. and most of all, you are frustrated with your own self.

so tell me, how many of you have encountered this kind of moments in your life? i bet everyone of us, at some point in their life during the final season do encounter this kind of thing at least once.

(well, unless you are some kind of mutated human being with the brain of a cyborg then maybe you won't lah wtf)

(okay, i AM only joking with the above statement wtf. but it's true what! some people are just gifted with good photographic memories. like sheldon cooper wtf.)


sigh.

sometimes i just wish our books have the ctrl + F function just like our internet browser. life as a medical student will definitely become easier that way, don't you think so?

p.s. yes, i know there is this thing called index but the medical text books published by my college do not come with that. so how lah?! grrrr.

hi kak S.A =)

setuju dengan akak.
memang realiti.

walaupun kadang2 frust,
tapi best jugak,
sebab bila curious kita pun sungguh2 cari.kalau dah tak jumpa sangat,
tanya terus tuan punya status ,
kalau tak , tak senang duduk.

akak, all da best.
esok ktorg oral, selasa ni saya mahu pulang.
jaga diri baik2!
=)
