Dear me. Please undo this mistakes. DO NOT REPEAT THEM !
Sincerely,
The idiot medic student.
I came to the department of a foreign hospital. I did not study here. Tapi, aku redha dengan apa yang akan terjadi. Sebab ini salah aku sendiri. Aku yang tak kuat untuk hadapi peperiksaan. Hari ni , aku kena hadapai semua yang kat depan mata dengan sendiri. Tak ada siapa yang akan tolong aku. Aku ibarat anak yatim. Tiada tempat nak bergantung. Tiada tempat nak mengadu.
Malam tu, kepala agak serabut nak study yang mana satu dahulu.
Sepertimana nasihat kat sticker note aku,
" The key to success is not prioritizing your schedule,
but rather scheduling your priorities"
Well said advice i think.
