Sweet Stories from LKMMNas ISMKI 2011

LKMMNas stands for Latihan Kepemimpinan dan Manajemen Mahasiswa Nasional that already been held in Malang, 16-22nd of July 2011. It was one of the routine national gathering held by Ikatan Senat Mahasiswa Kedokteran Indonesia or ISMKI. And... luckily , Brawijaya was believed to be the host and absolutely the committee of this huge event.

As you see, there's word 'National' in it. It means that the representation of universities in Indonesia came to Malang and they, mostly, didn't know each other. They had paid around 500.000 until 700.000 rupiahs each to be able participate in this event. And you, must be an activist in your university senate, or at least you had participated in LKMMWil or regional. Not in term of discriminating, but this was based on what I saw.

So, on the D-Day, first day exactly, these delegation from all over the country gathered in Opening Ceremony. Uniquely, some of them were wearing their traditional clothes. They also introduced themselves and performed their traditional dance nicely. The OC ends at about 00.00 , and I was so exhausted. But I know, the real misery was even hadn't started yet.

On the second day, when I was the responsible person for the food, the rundown or schedule was totally insane. So, started with a lecturer of PSDM from dr. Eka Sakti from 8 am untill 12 am. WOW ! Such a dick, LOL. I can't imagine being in their position, listening to really complicated thing without a single break! Oh God..

Time by time, i started to know others' character, both the committee or the participant. One thing I remember the most is one of the participants, named Hadi, from Sriwijaya University, is a fried-rice maniac!  Every breakfast, lunch, or dinner, he always asked for fried rice. That's what we call freak. Despite that, He is a quite nice man too ;)


On the last day, we all went to Batu and stayed there for a night. Farewell party was a fascinating closing for a-week tiring yet memorable event. And couple hours after we went back to Malang, I realized that I'm gonna miss this event so badly. I realized that I found a new family and a brand new experience for sure. Thank you LKMMNas ♥♥♥

                            Arema Brawijaya, SMASH IT UP! GO GO GO, WE ARE SUPERTEAM YEAAAH !

Another Sad-ur-day Nite

yeah, this is already saturday nite (again), and I'm still stuck with this Life Cycle's slides which will be tested on Blok Examination on the 6th of June. It's still one week ahead actually, but you know, lots of work to do (sok sibuk) . Hahah

the next words you gonna read is extremely-unimportant and literally waste your time. so, please. think twice before you read this.

anyway, tonite is the nite most people r waitin for. first, it's saturday nite. second, there will be held final i-don't-really-know championship between MU vs Barcelona, which is I don't find any interest in. saturday nite is often related to romance or love or going out or (unfortunately) staying at home like me. in Indonesia, the boy usually visit his girl's house and .... , you know. that's youth tradition is called apel, kinda Indonesian slang which maybe you guys who haven't stayed here for quite long time, don't know it. i myself still curious about apel tradition. who was the inventor? why did he create it ? did he ever consider how it feels for couples in Long-Distance Relationship ? okay, stop. unimportant questions. -_-

despite that, i don't find any regret in staying at home while everybody's going out. you can do what you seldom do, like study, watch tv with your mom and dad, sleep, or even just write a post like me. however, so many advantages you guys can get from staying at home, like saving money, saving energy, and so on. all in all, i'm sleepy and bored of boring things that show boredom in a boring way. the end

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

Hi everyone !

It's me again writing a lil bit heavy topic now, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Have you heard it ?
It's not about people drunk and died, it's maybe called Moron Alcoholic Syndrome LOL. Anyway, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is one of the birth defect or congenital malformation. Malformation is likely to happen during the third until the eighth week of gestation, because at the time, organogenesis occur.

So, this is what will happen to your beauty-innocent-fetus when you consume alcohol constantly during pregnancy, even the moderate alcohol ones. The central nervous system is particularly sensitive to alcohol, and alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND) may result from exposure. Furthermore, it also can cause  short palpebral fissures, maxillary hypoplasia, heart defects, mental retardation. 




Pictures above show the characteristic of children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). They may also suffer from cardiovascular and limb defect.


I'm not gonna tell you complicated things cause I hate it too actually. In the end, I hope this article give you a snapshot about FAS and I really hope to you, especially girls, to stop drinking alcohol. This is just one of million bad things you may get from drinking alcohol.

Ciao :)
 

Let's Play !

Hi silence-friends !

Most of  us are afraid of English, or other language that doesn't become our native language. You guys not alone, me too. Though I have been studying English since I was a little, but I still found some difficulties in it.

So, let's play with English !


These are things I actually often do to keep


First, you can grab your iPod or blackberry and play a song, in english for sure. Then listen and try to understand  what the singer says. Try to write it down and play the song over and over till you get the full lyric. If you wanna check it, just search it on google and Taadaa! How it gets? Tell me later :0

Second, if you are socnet-freak. Try this edication socnet , Livemocha. Have you ever heard it? Or tried it ?
So this is Livemocha like. It provides writing, speaking, reading, and vocabulary practice and most of them are free. The best thing is, you can submit you writing to the site and let people in other countries check it and maybe add some suggestions for it. So, what r you waiting for ? Try it now and enjoy your exercise ! :D

First words..
