cultural shock

yes yes,after reading suechoo's blog regarding this matter,i thought i should blog about it too...since there may be a few of you peeps there who read my blog but not hers XD harharhar...

for those people(prolly only my mum back in msia) who still keep contact with me either through msn/skype know,i am currently in a busy and totally stressed out mode. since the beginning of january,i had been busy with

-15days of 9-5pm research lab
-pP3 resit
-research project method draft
-biopharm5 class test preparations
-3 pharmaceutical care portfolios and reports (2000words each)
-cpP evidence-based medicine report
-pharmaceutical care case presentation preparations

ohwell...this is part and parcel of being a FINAL YEAR UNDERGRAD u might say...

yea,prolly thatz how we are brought up since our 1st day of education.

heavy workloads?too many exams&assignments?
i guess sleeping an average of 4hrs/day for a week+caffeine overdose will do...
the bottom line is,we somehow gonna COMPLETE the whole damn thing.no questions asked.no fuss.mou dak keng!you know how we are also taught since young to respect ppl who are older than u,respect the cikgu(even if the suck).....nilai hormat-menghormati have the most subnilaiS i remember XD long-life SPM Pendidikan Moral.

today...
is my 1st time of actually having students complaining to the cikguS about heavy workloads>cikguS had meetings with students>vote>agree to look into the matter and reduce the workload if possible.

whoa~geng chao!

yea i admit that i actual admire the freedom of voicing out your unsatisfaction and opinions here in angmoh-land.my gosh,imagine if we were to do that back in IMU......prolly gonna get a good-long lecture or somethin... 3big people from pharmaceutical care came to the class and wanted to discuss the matter with us the students.but i guess matters become a wee heated...so the session ended with a vote (who would prefer to have a lighter workload?DUH!) and the lecturers agreed to give us a feedback next week.i think the session left the msian students dumbstruck.cultural shock kot...

sure gonna have to belanja the home students lor if the lecturers really decide to reduce our essays from 3 to 2...one thing tho,freedom of speech aside...i still think there's a need to have the basic respect when talking to the elderly/cikguS...even if u're extremely unsatisfied...
