A Hello

So, what is everyone up to these days??

To Year Two students, enjoy your holidays! See you in a week time on November 2 when classes resume

MEDICSA Movie Time. *Warning*

MEDICSA Movie Time.
*Warning* Before you scroll down, please be reminded that this is not for the faint-hearted.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

So, besides studying, what do we do to relax our mind? One of it is... we catch a movie. A FREE one. Yesterday, we had our very first MEDICSA Movie Time in UCSI's auditorium, from 2-5pm... and the movie of our choice is "The Exorcist-1973."

Yep, the ORIGINAL version. The OLDEST. One of the best classic horror movie ever made. <--- Quoted from the 1973 reviews. Considering it was made in 1973, it's a pretty awesome movie. I'm not so sure about you, but it scared the wits out of me, if you ask me.

The Poster.


The girl & a doctor.


And then she turns into this.....

*GASPS*


And this...


She can even twist her neck. *GULPS*


She twisted it two times in the movie.


And she did the infamous spiderwalk. This was really freaky.


The priest tying her hands.


So sick.


The evil laugh. *GULPS*


The exorcism process.


So, did the movie made us more relaxed? In a way.... yes I guess... but to me, it gave me the jitters. Hmm.

But the MovieTime was a good one. Let's do this more often. =D

09.08.09 - A Day To Remember

09.08.09 - A whole of Year 2 Medical students and a few of our beloved lecturers spent a day out together. The trip to Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) was extremely fun! We were introduced to various species of unique plants by our lovely guide... we saw tiny streams passing us by... and we even reached the waterfall. The air was so fresh and the tranquility is priceless... being far far away from the hustle and bustle of city life is simply; amazing.

The lecturers who went with us were Dr. Aisyah, Dr. Anupama, Dr. Gul, Dr. Ogubanjo, Dr. Nelson, and Dr. Sundaresan. Apparently, both Dr. Nelson and Dr. Sundaresan are photography enthusiasts! They were so busy snapping away as we trekked the trails. HAHAHA~

And lunch served to us were nasi beriani + vegetable dhal + chicken + half an egg + mineral water. Not bad right?

Anyways, to know more about the amazing trip, feel free to visit our blogs (especially mine *-*) or you can drop by at our Facebook profiles. Loads of pictures there, I'm telling you. Links at the right. *To the right, to the right*

A sneak peek to few of the hundreds pictures taken :
