END OF YEAR 4

Image
 Hi and assalamualaikum. Suuupppper long time no see. My last post dekat blog ni pasal first week of year 4. Which was happened monthsss ago. And today. I dah reached the very last week of the very last block of my academic year. Pftttt.  p/s: Sincere apologize for the late update :( 4th year. Tahun paling mencabar. Obviously. Semakin bertambah tahun mestila semakin mencabar kan? Tahun keempat sebagai dental student. And for the very first time jugak, full clinical hour -daily dari 10 pagi sampai 5 petang, isnin hingga jumaat. And today. the last day. inventory day. Return balik semua barang -barang cubicle. Kemas cubicle. and bid goodbye to the whole journey happened at A5 (my cubicle). Even ada satu tahun lagi. Tetap rasa sedih. Bila toleh belakang. Kenang balik masa susah dan senang. Sepanjang clinical year. How would I summarize my 4th year? ROLLER COASTER. Ada hari I was soooo happy bila dapat achieve requirements. Bila patient cakap boleh datang. Bila patient datang munc...

Briefing Week -> Anxiety Week

Image
 Hello and assalamualaikum. How's everyone? Still at home or dah return ke campus? Dah start new academic calendar? As for me, today marked the 3rd day of briefing week. Most of the contents mestila membincangkan requirements clinic which causes me anxious berdebar-debar sakit kepala and so on. Literally, requirements clinic tu macam KPI; berapa patient kena treat in order for us untuk seat for final exam, and nak grad la senang cakap. Covid-19 memang cause a lottttt of impact on us sebab we burned like one block plus few weeks due to MCO. so requirement yang patut achieve masa y3 dah kena carry forward ke y4. frustrated? of course. tapi tak ada pilihan kan. hadap je la. Yesterday, ada one of my seniors ni dia post something on her ws story. which is about all the requirements ni la. but since I will be at home for the first few weeks of block 1. i literally can do nothing much and no point pun kalau risau lebih lebih cause i have no control pasal treatment patients and so on. one ...

First Real Patient, First Clinic!

Image
Hi and assalamualaikum. Another special post pasal year 3. Quick recap: dental student ada 2 years of pre-clinical year (i.e.: lecture, lab but no clinical session) and 3 years of clinical year (i.e.: lectures, lab and full clinical session attending the R.E.A.L patient). Third year is my very firsttttt clinical year, which means my first time treating the patient, using all the instruments and equipments on the real patient. At the very beginning, i start buat treatment on my partner. I did the very basic one macam examination and diagnosis (which include thorough history taking, then clinical examination -check and buat charting gigi, yang korang selalu dengar dentist sebut 12 sound 23 cavity restoration bla bla bla tu, then belajar ambil xray on real patient and etc) Then, i did my first restoration on my partner under Dr H's supervision. I belajar scaling for the first time also on my partner. I pun jadi patient dia when it came to her session la. So kitaorang kena equally divi...

5 Aida's Fav Place @ Kuantan

Image
 Hi and assalamualaikum. My third post in a week. Wohooo. Harini nak share pasal my fav list of places in Kuantan. I have been in Kuantan for about 3 years. Ada la sikit sikit tempat yang i suka pergi / pernah pergi. My target is to explore as many places as possible la because i believe once u dah grad, and leave the university, u dah takdak chance nak explore the place. [unless jodohku orang Kuantan wekwek] 1. Air Terjun Pelangi, Sg Lembing. Tempat ni paling gempak i pernah sampai. Sebab dia ada combination hiking + naik 4x4 + air terjun + pelangi. Memang worth sangat. I pergi dengan member, kitaorg book bilik dekat Sg. Lembing sebab nak hiking tengok sunrise and pelangi tu mesti awal pagi like 6.30 mcm tu. Pukul 7 naik 4X4 wow mantap okey naik bukit itu semua plus daun daun kiri kanan tampo muka hang haha. Stop dekat satu tempat untuk tengok sunrise, then continue, hiking then sampai ke puncak air terjun where dekat situ ada pelangi. Part paling best organizer bagi maggi cup den...

End of 3rd Year of Dental School

Image
Hi and assalamualaikum. Anybody here? Or everyone (if there's one hueuhe) has left the blog too? Sorry and soorrryyy again for the longggg pause. Okay, where to begin? Number one. Aida Sakinah passed her third professional exam. [alhamdulilah]. Here is a quick recap. A dental student needs to sit FOUR professional exams in order for her to become a dentist with a certified degree. I have done 3/4. I will write a specific story / drama / cerekarama for this part. dont worry (please scroll up the post bhahaha). Number two. Finally, I'm home. This past academic year was the worst E.V.E.R. Obviously due to the covid thingyyy, we were exhausted mentally, physically. I have been in the uni from august 2020 till august 2021 without a single break (like one week gap or mid sem break or even 2 days break). we run the whole two-semester week after week non-stop ye anak anak. the only break that we've is the weekend. but, alhamdulilah again, we passed, and we go home. the motivation f...

General Medicine General Surgery

 Hi and assalamualaikum. Okay sis hutang satu post pasal gmgs right?   First. apa itu gmgs. as stated above, they are actually 2 postings in Medical. READ AGAIN. MEDIC. not dental. so to make it simple. dental student kena belajar subjek medic. what is the rational? a dentist must treat a human being not the teeth only. like manusia yang nak duduk ats dental chair nanti tu dia ada kaki kepala organ organ lain dan dia jugak tidak 100% sihat. dentist must know EVERY SINGLE THING pasal penyakit penyakit (common) yang mungkin patient tu ada. get it? Why is it's soooooo hard? Since ianya subjek medical, so all of our lecturers come from Kulliyyah of Medicine (all of them are specialists or registrar). Kena tahu from A to Z. no spoon-feeding. like semua notes, textbooks kitaorg sama dengan budak medic. it's quite hard la jugak sebab u kena belajar banyak benda cramp dalam masa setahun. and kena perform well exactly macam budak medic.  Dalam gmgs ni ada few things yang best...

Hello Clinical Year!

Image
 Assalamualaikum and happy weekend peeps!!! I'm officially a 3rd-year dental student, alhamdulillah. Tomorrow (Monday) will be my veryyyy first day of clinical year. Frankly speaking, takut nak hadap clinical year sebab rasa diri sendiri belum fully competent, plus there are a lot of things to learn huarghhhh.  Past few weeks, selamat habiskan requirement year 2. Ingatkan tak akan buat semua exercises tu sebab delay kan, tapi after pro exam terus kena masuk lab straight 4 weeks untuk practical endodontics and prosthodontics. For the first time, buat exercise endodontics (rawatan akar a.k.a RCT) and very challenging sebenarnya sebab kena cramp semua exercises within 4 weeks untuk 3 anterior teeth (central, lateral incisor and canine). Sumpah penat gila untuk 4 minggu tu, malam-malam mmng pass out awal gila, and dah mula takut nanti time clinical year tak mampu nak cope dengan clinic huarghhhhhhh. Pray for me guys supaya I ada tenaga untuk bertahan! But, since kitaorg the only b...

Professional Exam II

Image
 Hi and assalamualaikum. Happy weekend everyone! Alhamdulilah I'm officially finished my second year of dentistry. It was a memorable experience for all of us because more than half got distinction and perform very well in the exam. Soooo prouddd of youuuu guysss!!!!! But! kitaorg still lagi stuck di KOD since banyak gila kerja lab postponed during MCO. So, sekarang memang back to back 8am to 5pm dekat simulation and fabrication lab. No more cuti semester for us, no more balik kampung huarghhhhh. Personally speaking, I really enjoyed my pre-clinical years. A lot of things inspire me to be a better dental student and soon to be a dentist, to learn a lot, to practice well. Without this pre-clinical year, my knowledge would always be nothing, and I cannot even see dentistry in a clear picture. I experience 2 events that cause me to appreciate more all the knowledge that has been taught by the lecturers. And both of them happened to my loved ones. To be a dental student does not mean y...

It's time to say goodbye...

Image
Assalamualaikum and hi guys. Quick update sebab actually sekarang dah nak masuk maghrib, and still I nak post jugak sebab I don't even know bila I akan visit this blog lagi. I got official statement from Kulliyyah, and I HAVE TO RETURN Kuantan on 3rd Aug, which next 2 weeks, or 1 week? I don't care. In the meantime, I have tons of lecture notes and videos to be studied and revised because I slept too much during online classes plus mengelamun jugak haha. My professional exam would be on 1st Sept which means I have less than a month to prepare everything. But, as time passed, I realized that I should enjoy or cherish these last moments, either with the fam or my bestie. So I decided to meet up with my school friends, which I haven't met for a year. We went to Aman Central (the only choice that we have) because they were coming from every side of the North haha, so the central point would be AC. But it's okay as long as we enjoyed the moment. I realized tha...

Welcome to Kampung Agong!

Image
Hi and assalamualaikum guys! Baru-baru ni sis dapat idea nak pergi day trip ke satu tempat viral ni. Terima kasih Facebook sebab naik kan post tempat ni kat my wall. Since sekarang dekat rumah, and back to back online class sampai merambu mata, plus stress toksah habaq la noh. Then, sis ajak member member setaman dan seangkatan dengannya untuk pergi lawat tempat viral tu. So tempat viral tu nama dia Kampung Agong, Penaga. My feedback acah acah review ; 1. Kalau suka ambil gambar posing sampai tak ingat dunia silakan. Tempat ni memang dia design untuk ambil gambar background cantik-cantik, props cantik-cantik and letuplah. So jangan expect hang boleh fefeeling atas buaian buaian dia lama-lama, atau nak posing lama-lama sebab memang berderet orang dok beratur tunggu turn. Untuk shoot gambar instagram or gambar kahwin memang letuplah. Masa sis pergi pun ada dalam tiga pasang pengantin mai photoshoot. 2. Tempatnya sangat besar, bawak stok ayaq banyak banyak. Dia pu...

I'm exhausted!

Image
hi and assalamualaikum everyone. still, stay at home? work at home? study at home? yeah don't worry, I'm at home toooooo. currently, IIUM is doing ERTL (Emergency Remote Teaching Learning) whatsoever. But to be honest this online teaching method has drowned me and made me feel super super super exhausted. sometimes, I wake up looking at my to-do-list, I felt like I am going to cry the whole day, trying to finish from A to Z. sometimes, I wake up and just feel not to do anything, scrolling through Instagram, Facebook, WhatApps back and forth. another day, looking at the upcoming quizzes and assignment dateline, I stuck in the room, trying to study and understand and also pretend to understand from morning till night, miss all the conversations with the family, and suddenly I am not doing well in the online quizzes. those things make me feel super super super tired and frustrated, of course! Indeed, I am not happy with the current situation. so, today, something po...

Syawal & Ramadhan Versi COVID19

Image
Assalamualaikum and salam 8 Syawal everyone!!! Fyi, Msia still lagi dalam fasa perintah kawalan pergerakan bersyarat, and hari raya tahun ni hanya boleh disambut pada 1 syawal SHJ, and TAKKK boleh rentas negeri ye! Alhamdulilah, tahun ni dapat berpuasa full 30 days at home with ma famili, plus dapat tadarus and terawih together! okay, if future aida wonder la kan, disclaimer; masa ni Msia sedang dilanda satu wabak virus; covid19, which tak boleh ada any aktiviti yang berkumpul, untuk putuskan rangkaian virus ni, so no terawih at masjid for the first time in my life. Ramadhan tahun ni lagi manis, even ada pahit dia yang tersendiri, and hikmah dia sangat besar, beri peluang kepada semua orang untuk perbaiki diri masing-masing. Institusi keluarga adalah segala-galanya kepada negara dan komuniti sekeliling. So, early education mesti bermula dari keluarga. Eh terceramah pulak! This year lagi manis because I managed to khatam al quran 2x, one with tadarus family, satu ...
