2015.

assalamualaikum..

it's been TWO YEARS since i wrote anything in this blog..
i did say to myself a few weeks ago to start writing again in 2015..
so..... what to write ey?

well something that i learned on the last day of 2014 is:
failure is not that bad if you learn something from it..

yesterday was a day when my whole class had to take a practical exam,
whereby we had to spend 2 hours alone with the patient and our lecturer..
and we were observed like being under a microscope by these supervisors..

to be honest, i've been dreading the day throughout the whole semester..
i kept on practicing with the fear of failing,
of not being able of finishing the chain of tests in time..
not realizing the real essence behind the test:
it's about experience, not about failing..

well i got my wish..
i finished way before the time was up..
but i didn't do one part of the test right..
but i was amazed with the way i reacted to that situation:
i was glad with the experience..

we were so used to being exposed to patients with not so bad abnormalities..
but these patients made us realize that real life will not be that easy..
real patients will not come to the clinic without abnormalities..
and you as an optometrist have to be prepared to deal with it..
and the lecturers are not going to take it easy with you..

i told my mother about being scolded by the lecturers in the clinic next semester..
she said "then make sure you won't be scolded.. be good, then they won't scold you.."
*sentap*

every bad thing that happens to you have a reason,
learn from it..
make sure it won't happen again..

happy new year.
make a change..
