A new insight on psych

Okay okay, lets let go of the fangirlish stuff and look into something more serious now. You just can't mix business into pleasure (but you can mix pleasure into business XD.

Aanyways! this week we've been to the Sentosa Hospital where they have people with psychiatric problems. on Monday, we've been just visiting the wards there, getting to know the people who work there and stuff. to be honest, i was quite apprehensive and nervous when entering the wards. one of the patients was yelling racist stuff, some were just talking to us, even though the things they talk were nonsense, some were just staring at us. i was HONESTLY a bit scared. probably because its a new environment to me and i have yet to learn to handle the patients.

and just now, in the afternoon, we had a demonstration session where we witnessed how our professor interviewed the patient. its not really like the usual history that we take from medical ward or anything. i think its kinda new and interesting to me. it took me to a completely different level of approach towards people and life.

it hit me, i was unconsciously being judgmental towards some people with psychiatric problems that i've met before. gosh, how shallow i was. how i let my emotional and my pride got over my rational thinking. im really thankful that i got to be in this psychiatric posting. it completely opened up how i think towards others.

what the case was about? its confidential~ *himitsu da yo~!*
(lol, i was just lazy to type actually XD)
but i really have to say, i really, really hate people who succumb to peer pressure resulting in them doing all the stupid stuff that would harm themselves in the end. whats so good about having fun without the picture of you standing strong and proud after defeating your enemies (okay, thats a bit of Bleach influence there XP). SO yeah, I really hate weak people that give in to inappropriate stuff just because others tell him to do so. You have to belief in yourself and do whats best for you yourself. be confident and say "NO". the guy who laughs last win, ne?

so yeah, all in all, psychiatry is an interesting subject. you assess people from the outer appearance into the deep dark secret they have in their minds. its not something that you learn only by reading (though you need a LOT of reading), its all about practice and experience. how to sharpen your communication skill so patient will pour those deep dark secret of theirs to you. build rapports and make them trust you. hum..omoshiroi!

Kyaa~! *bleach fangirl* X3

Hi hi~ I just finished watching Bleach epi 63. I'm loving it SO much!
*except the stereotype parts like
- people who's supposed to be weak gotten stronger than the opponent, and the opponent got surprised
- almost no one cant defeat the captains except Ichigo
- an almost defeated person would have something more powerful up their sleeves
- sometimes it took so long to explain things in battle like "*shocked face* masaka, this reiatsu is so powerful. his speed increased so suddenly i can't see him. and the attack is so powerful, it threw me away. i cant believe he would improve in such a short time. he is at the same level as a captain's. this guy, what the heck is he?!?" me: "just slash him already!! mo! >o<"*

yup, and i just recently love Byakuya-chan. he's so kakkoi~~ i've really gone, "kya~! byakuya-sama~~!!" X3
and the pretty-face, he's so funny! Abarai-kun mo~
*atashi no Gin mo*~


so yeah, even though i've read the manga and known all the story, watching the anime is still really exciting for me.
buut~ in this fangirlish delirium..its kinda hard for me to study!!

all aboard!

yup, this morning, we went on an open ship. its the navy stuff i guess. i did get a bit bitchy at first because we got lost a lot, my fuel was drying up, and i had to wait for some people to freaking eat while we were waiting in a freaking hot car (i couldnt turn on the air-con coz my fuel was really low =.=).

*crabby mode*

anyways, i eventually cooled down, so everything was fine :P.

the open ship thing, its pretty cool. its a huge warship with cool navigators and cool weapons. one of the leading ships with high-technology in Malaysia, or so they said. hehe

I don't really care much about war ships and weapons, though I do love weapons because they're one of the symbols of powers >:D. there were heavy machine guns, missile launcher, and a decoy launcher (the ammo kinda blooms a ship-like stuff, making enemies targeting on the decoy rather than the real ship).

anyways, i had fun getting pictures taken. we had tour all around the ship and we got a glance on how the navy people's life. their rooms are kinda small, with bunk beds, and really chisai no closet, with chisai no shower to toire. (lol, whats with the sudden nihon-go mix??) anyways, it made me feel kinda claustrophobic in the rooms, and the closet wouldnt even fit 1/10 of my clothes DX.

so yeah, basically we walked around the ships, got briefed on stuffs there, took loads of pics and had some drinks with the people.

then we went back and ate lunch together at Tun Jugah.

then went back home. watched bleach for a while, chatted with some people, took a nap, then watched some bleach again, downloaded some claymore & bleach wallpapers (i got really cool Gin's wallies X3) and not studying *guilt-laden! - NOT :P*

so yeah, here are some pics from the battle ship (gosh! i miss the game! and beating someone! *wink wink* *evil laugh*). there are too many pics, which i've uploaded on my facebook X3

i haz koold down

subarashi kimochi~!

heavy machine gun!

Cliffhangered - BAD!

Oh-Em-Gee!!!! Prison Break!! IS TO DIE FOR!

I watched the season 4 up till episode 11, and the ending has the WORST (or the BEST X3) cliffhanger EVER!

Most people would say, usually drama series has the first season thats SO great, but they go downhill further and further at the next and the next and the next season (like Grey's anatomy).

But Prison Break is a whole different story. it always has something different, something exciting in store for you. New suspense, new treachery, new tactics, new strategies. OMG, its just genius, a masterpiece. its the only drama that made me go *gasps!*, *screams!*, *cry!* and of course a bit of *lols* XD

I cant wait to see the next epi! Prison Break, I love you! je t'aime! aishiteru! wo ai ni! X3

psyched for psychiatry~!

This is the 2nd day of psych posting. I LOVE IT!

The prof is quite strict, and he loves asking questions all the time, so we have to be prepared ALL the time. But, i love it! its really challenging and interesting. its like poking into someone's mind.

the hard part is about anatomy and physiology of the neurons and neurotransmitter. neurology is one of my weakest subject because of some certain events that made me lost my interest in neurology when i was learning it in my 2nd year. however! i vowed to master this topic even if i'd lose an arm and a leg XP.

it is also tough that the diagnosis is mostly through observation of the patients and talking with the patients. and the symptoms sometimes overlap with each other. and its not really something that can be confirmed by listening with a stethoscope, or palpating a mass, or percussion of the chest or any imaging (unless the cause is organic). so, mainly, you'll have to be really observant, and you'll have to know how to talk to patient and make patient talk to you.

anyways, the interesting part, yeah, its true that everyone has some mental disorders in varying degrees. mental health really is important in our life, because it affects our entire being.

anyways, this week is all about lectures on introduction to psychiatric problems and such. next week we're gonna visit the mental hospital. heard from our seniors it would be interesting. can't wait to find out about it XD
