is it really worth to study in manipal after suffering in IB for about 2 years??? juz asking :)

hi!

wow, what a question....

actually, the one which makes it worth it or not, is you yourself (and your mindset of course) ah, jawapan artis gila!

first, i used to think it's not worth it, at all, and it was back back back then even before i stepped on this india land. why? yeah, because ib was hard, and yeah i had this kind of ego and pride i shall say. it was like, i scored better than them, but why cant i go to uni in uk/ireland/oz which give me full 5 yrs course there and why should i go for twinning when my results are quite eligible for any other uni with full 5 yrs course?

BUT it was the old me, the proud, negative-minded, arrogant me. i admit that.

now, i am actually glad that i am here :D why?

1. it's not of what you are 'rewarded' after finishing ib, it's about how you make use of what you had gained from ib in your life later. campaklah mana pun, you'll survive and you'll feel satisfied and proud that you did ib and you can actually reflect how you have become a better person throughout the process

2. a big community of malays and muslims is around you and it makes you feel like you belong here and it kinda stops you from doing anything which is deviated away from the muslim way of living as there are a lot of islamic activities and they will always be there to guide you or to 'tegur' you :D

3. we still get the same knowledge, be it india, uk, ireland, oz or even czech. for god sake, the course for facial nerve is the same in majority people. *random, i know* just the method of teaching is different. i dont know about any other country, but in india, you get to see the cadaver nearly everyday for mbbs students, you should be able to spot the nerves, muscles and all, you have lecturers who never get bored of repeating the same thing over and over again just because you dont understand it

4. clinical years in malaysia, you are going to serve your own country, so i do think that having clinical years in malaysia will be an advantage to us. because, you will get used with the typical type of patients you will be facing during housemanship, and you will be able to explain to the patient more thoroughly during housemanship, just like my previous post, xdelah nnt dh housemanship baru terkial2 nak cari macam mana nk explain bridging, crowning, rct kat makcik bedah, tok jah, pakcik daud, usop wilcha etc. patients need to know what kind of treatment you are planning to do for him/her

5. there are loads more thing to be explained, but a post or two, or even random talking arent enough, experiences speak the best :D

ps: yeah, there are no malls no cinema no bowling no karaoke in manipal but there are cheap food, supercheap saloon and spa, super supercheap materials and tailor service and MARENA (and yeah, cheaper baskin robbin) XD

*tatau mcm mana dia blh direct post g 0307 pnye blog td, haish =.='
