The Enlightenment

There was one Taiwanese boy once asked me "Is that okay for a Muslim girl to hold hand with a guy?". "It was from last night game, the AMSC Olympics. Oh you didn't join the play?" "Yeah, I was preparing for my presentations so I take a break and prepared"  I have no idea what should I actually answer to that boy, and I said "Shaking hand is okay I think" and he said "Yeah, I know shaking hand is okay, but how about holding hand while we're playing last night?" and I said "Well, it really depends on the person and the intention I guess", then I call another muslim friends from Bangladesh to explain but he wasn't really focus on the question and then we were talking about different topic. Then still with curiosity, I asked my Muslim Malaysian friend about this, which she was also a girl. I like her answer though which kinda bit the same with my answer previously but in a more elaborative way. Interesting righ...

Croatian Adventure Part 2

So here again I continue my EAMSEP story. On the second week February 9th to 16th), after done with the hospital rotation in Internal Medicine department, We had Tuberculosis discussion in Pub Tunnel. The activities called as "SciCaffe" I think from the name that they want to discuss Science in more fun and creative way in such a Pub or Caffe, well I am not sure though, but what I've just experience kinda surprising because my friend have to delivered his research project presentation about Tuberculosis in the Caffe where the atmosphere wasn't 'scientific' enough, you got my point right? While the Professor who was also gave us some lectures about TB said that it was also his first time to present kinda serious discussion in that kind of place. What I think was ironic was we were discussing about how to keep a healthy lung by staying out of TB but the Caffe were full of smoke in the air because people were trying to destroy their lung by smoking in the '...

Brief Story near the Adriatic Sea-Part 1

So approximately last month, 2nd-16th February 2015, I went to Croatia for an exchange program called Europe Asian Medical Student's Exchange Program (EAMSEP) which is an  Intercontinetal student exchange (Twinning project), organized between AMSA Indonesia (Asian Medical Students' Association) and FOSS MedRi (Fakultetski Odbor Svih Studenata Medicinskog fakulteta u Rijeci) who is a registered member of EMSA (European Medical Student's Association). Unlike the other exchange program which is held by AMSA, the AMSEP (Asian Medical Students' Exchange Program), this one is a bit special because it held between Europe and Asia, so it called EAMSEP and this one with Indonesia is the second EAMSEP after the first one between Malaysia and Lithuania. What also special about this program is that it last for 2 weeks, longer than the regular AMSEP which usually take only for a week. The activities during those two weeks covered   Knowledge, Friendship and Action which is  u n...

The Wanderlust and Ambivert

Hello, I'm back in 2015! :) I once captivated by the word "Wanderlust" in one of the article that my friend shared on her Facebook timeline. Yo can read out the article here . Wanderlust means [--   a love of travel or regular old curiosity]   [The gene itself, which is identified as DRD4-7R, has been dubbed the “wanderlust gene,” because of its correlation with increased levels of curiosity and restlessness, for the most part. In reality, however, those who carry this genetic information typically share one common theme, a history of traveling.] It even said that it runs through your gene! So the need to explore and go on adventure I guess quit a bit running inside my gene. I do like travelling around and exploring new things as well as knowing and understanding different culture. So I'm glad that I got to become an exchange student once again and go on a Euro Trip as well. I would really want to tell my journey in detail but I guess I was just too lazy to...

Tetanus*

*read: rapid and intense stimulation over a period of time okay the tittle doesn't mean about that kind of disease if you got hit by rusty nail and got spasm or something like that. I got this phrase from my friend who likes to create new words based on something, so yeah we got tetanus if there are rapid and intense stimulation over a period of time, this can happened in our nerve and muscle, and yeah we learned this in physiology class experiment. So yeah I want to start my story from the week of frustation coming out on me and it just happened there was creative writing workshop with Radiya Dika held by BEM FISIP Undip, so I decided to go there, and not considering the next day is anatomy pretest. Well yeah now I kinda take it slow of those thing cause it just feel like a routine already and you got enough of that. Funny thing is that one of my friend even said to me that she wanted to mention @radityadika "Bang, temen gw bela2in ketemy lu padahal besok ada pre test ...

REPLACING A HABIT OF SMOKING AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE WITH CHEWING GUM      Lately, there are many reports about children who smoke in Indonesia such as the shocking toddler who even replace his milk with smoking.
