I PASS MY EXAM



Thank God! I pass my final exam. What a relief. Results were announced last Saturday. All my housemate pass except Zul. He failed Surgery and Medicine. This the mortality rate was really shocking! 17 students failed. about 20% failed in the UPM final examinations. this breaks the record in the faculty and in the country! UM mortality was 2%.

Today, went to met lecturers at faculty. met Prof Yunus, Prof Dev and Mr Kwan. They gave an advice how to become a life as a HO. life just begin man!
