I Worry.

A comment I received on my previous post:


Aku risau. Bukan risau kerana takut ada pembaca yang benar-benar percaya aku seorang surirumah yang tak ada sex life dan kantoi SPM.


Tapi aku risau memikirkan beginikah mentaliti seorang pelajar perubatan yang diberi biasiswa untuk melanjutkan pelajaran ke luar negara?


Beginikah mentaliti seorang individu yang telah cemerlang dalam SPM? Yang telah skor dalam subjek-subjek Sains yang dianggap ‘kompleks’ tetapi tidak bertamadun apabila berinteraksi dengan orang lain? What does that say about our education system? Should we include ethics in our list of compulsory subjects too?


Aku risau kerana kerajaan menanggung perbelanjaan berjuta-juta (atau beratus ribu?
Aku tak pasti) ringgit untuk menghantar dia ke luar negara dan menimba ilmu. Beginikah bakal-bakal doctor negara kita?


Aku tidak mahu dirawat oleh doktor macam ini. Aku tak akan hantar ahli keluarga atau saudara-mara ke hospital yang hire doktor-doktor sebegini.


Aku mahu optimistik. Tapi aku sudah jumpa ramai pelajar perubatan yang ditaja oleh kerajaan yang bongkak dan memandang rendah ke orang lain seperti ini. Kalau bukan sebab dua orang kawan rapat aku adalah pelajar perubatan, sudah lama aku membuat generalisasi bahawa semua pelajar medik adalah assholes.


Seorang pembaca aku point out bahawa Aleyssa tulis bahawa dia tidak dapat pergi ke ‘overc’. Ya, mungkin sebab itu dia bitter. Atau mungkin dia terlalu tergesa-gesa ketika menulis komen sehingga tidak sedar dia telah membuat pelbagai kesilapan grammar dan spelling.


Aleyssa, I sure hope they don’t teach you to spell like that in medic school. When you finally grow up, you’ll realize that no one ever asks about your SPM results when they first get to know you or when they want to hire you in a hospital. Your patients won’t be asking how many As you got for your SPM when you’re checking for their heartbeats. In fact, the only privilege you’ll ever get then from achieving good results for SPM is having brag about it in my comment section.


Strangers who bump into you on the streets aren’t going to treat you differently just because you got 1000 A1s for your SPM. In fact, when you’re out there, nobody gives a damn about how smart, how talented or what a genius you are. Because all of us don’t walk around with our jobs, our salary or our exam results stamped on our foreheads.


Have fun discovering life.

LOL. igt pegi oversea tu bagus ke? Memg la bagus. Sebulan dapt 900 euro pastu keliling dunia time blaja. best2. Tapi nnti balik Msia gaji same je ngan yang grad kat local U. tak sampai pun 900 euro kebanyakn nya. ada yang bernasib baik dapt la. tapi kebykan nya tak dapt.
there's this graduate from US trying to converse in English but sounds so FAKE with the accent she's trying to make. Because there's this Kelantan or this Terengganu slang in it. Imagine US accent campur Terengganu/Kelantan slang. Cakap je la mcm org biasa. Ke mereka ini adalah org luar biasa.

Too many assholes in the net.
Please...only retards scream accusations and fight over the internet.
Sorry to see your blog got infested with tards.Retards that got sponsored by the government nonetheless.Pity.

saya DAPAT pegi overc...saya sekarang berada di UK...kalau awak pandai sangat mesti awak dah dapat tangkap maksud saya walaupun saya tersilap tulis...memang tepat tekaan saya...awak ni memang cetek akal...

awak nie dah memang melampau...mengaibkan orang di blog pula...tak dapat menerima bila ada orang bercanggah pendapat...sama dengan pembaca awak yang lain...hanya pandai mencari kesalahan orang lain sahaja...tak payahla awak perasan betul sebab ada orang yang mengiyakan awak...memang mereka akan setuju dengan awak meskipun awak suruh diorang terjun...dah dasar akal cetek...macam awak jugak...

saya tak perlukan nasihat daripada awak...saya berdoa kepada tuhan saya tak akan jadi macam awak...BODOH sombong...

it's all karma, or newton's third law, whichever you prefer.

you came here and started throwing baseless accusations around, how do you think people are gonna respond to that?

if you have a valid point, next time, try voicing it out properly, with manners.

are we not all gentlemen (and ladies) here?

magenta said...

PGL: Hahaha tergelak imagine accent macamtu.

Yeah tu lah. Bukan nak kutuk students study overseas; I was one of them. Tapi, rugi kalau drg tak blaja pape from their experiences kat sana.

hussein: I'm filled with dread just thinking about how many other assholes are sponsored by the government. Isn't there some sort of filtration system to tapis them out?

aleyssa: Seriously all I read is bla, bla, bla. Don't they teach you when to shut up in med school?

My readers didn't defend me for the sake of agreeing with me. They criticized you because you were talking poppycock. When you finally decide to grow up and take my advice, you'll realize that there are people around you who will earn more than you do in a month after you've graduated from your med school, even though they never graduated from Sekolah Menengah.

undomesticwifey: Haha she reminds me of the saying 'the pot calling the kettle black', even though they make silver pots and kettles nowadays.

47: I'm thinking about your method for drivers who are a danger to themseleves and others on the road. Maybe we should implement that rule for pompous asses who throw baseless accusations as well.

anon: Brainwashed maybe? Hmmm.

"awak nie dah memang melampau...mengaibkan orang di blog pula..."

Seriously aleyssa, who started? Man, you must be loving all these attention eih? Ye la, kat UK, mungkin tak ade orang nak share problem dgn awak eh? Sbb tu kluar kan frustration awak kat sini, ye tak? Man, the good impression i ada towards all these sponsored so called medic students dah start to crack la.. :P

And yes, going to overc aint that cool... *Thinking of another Sufiah(ahem, UK anyone? :P:P)*

Zafwan Zakaria said...

wow. it's not enthusiast term of wow but it's more like 'that ain't right' kinda wow.

u should know the rest of what it means by that 'wow'.

Aleyssa tu mat saleh celup kot. Makin cockypop jadinye.


Kita tengok berapa lama dia bertahan di sini(blog) dan di sana(real medicated world).

Should we include ethics in our list of compulsory subjects too?

GOD no. We have one of those already, remember? P.Moral is still hands down the most ridiculous subject imposed on us ever. Unless... takde during your time. Good lord how old are you wei Magenta??? :P

I kid, I kid. Better clarify, what with the flers with brooms up their asses hanging around a space that clearly offends them. Wonder why they do it. Wonder if they're really the ones who're jobless. And fuck no I don't think being a housewife counts as jobless. Our mothers work their asses off to take care of the household and raise us up to be decent human beings. Maybe people who give negative connotations to housewives weren't brought up by caring/responsible mothers, poor shmucks. ;)

Oh yeah, it's called kurang ajar. There ya go, doc, another Malay figure of speech you seem to epitomise. :)

Dayana said...

wahahahah!! Sungguh kelakar lah!

Apakah semua blog sekarang diserang oleh manusia2 retards yang tak ada adab sopan? Bila kita depfend diri kita balik, pandai pulak dia nak cakap kita tak boleh menerima orang yang bercanggah pendapat dengan dia. But what were they doing here, throwing accusations in the first place?

Cacat akal.

Anonymous said...

hahahahahaha. anonymous tu so naive.

anyway aleyssa, sepandai-pandai mana pon kau belajar, ko buat medic kat North Pole ke, every sem ko dpt 4.5flat ke ape ke, org tetap akan judge kau dari ur manners so cakap baik2 sikit la. takpayah nak serang2 magenta dgn just reading one post. bagi aku, kebanyakan post dia useful and interesting so sebab tu aku defend dia.

kalau kau x suka dia, kenapa singgah lg blog ni? sanggup plak kau buang masa kau sbg student medic (from my friends' experiences in the UK/Ireland, life as a medic student deprives you from having that much of a free time), dengan menaip komen yg kau sendiri tahu akan menimbulkan kontroversi.

or maybe kau tak tahu.

that is how different cyberworld and real life is...some are so sensitive over matters....i think that's why encik kamal only make fun around friends....so that no drama will ever resort to mess by non friends

alyssa...u as a person suck....not medic student,not govern. scholar...have a friend that will call you "ek eleh..babi!"

see..i like you...and i dont believe you either

ek eleh!

jannatunnaem said...

adik aku juge top score dkt USM kelantan...medic juge..x stadi ober c pon..kalo die baca ko punye blog pon dia bersetuju dgn ape yang ko ckp magenta..truskan blog anda..aku sgt suka..:)

magenta said...

AKAB: Aku pun sibuk dengan kehidupanku sebagai surirumah gersang. Nak kena kupas banyak bawang ni. (Kepada anonymous, I'm only half joking)

chen: I'm OLD. Like 'I-used-to-gang-bang-with-the-Flinstones' and 'I-DJ'd-at-the-Boston-Tea-Party' kinda old.

I jest, I jest. Yeah, I remember P. Moral in school. A bunch load of crap. I remember watching my friends cramming for their Moral exams with useless nilai2 murni or smtg like that. I was thinking of a different kind of ethics class.

takahara: Hehe. My parents memang tak kasi guna perkataan macamtu, tapi my siblings and I have always been.. tak tau perkataan apa yang sesuai. Bukan kasar, cuma maybe ada humor yang twisted sedikit yang susah difahami oleh orang luar.

Hah!, Zafwan and erm: I tend to avoid people like her in real life like I'd avoid rape. Can't be bothered with them. Tapi bila pikir she's being sponsored to travel around the world and beli so-called designer brand clothing with my parents' tax money, it bothers me.

dayana: Wahaha just read your latest entry. Where are all these morons coming from?

zureen: Mungkin dia attention whore? Hmm. Hope she's not really a med student. Although her IP shows that she's from UK. Sigh.

haha. entah lah. maybe from a world called BOREDOM.

Btw, apa salahnya jadi suri rumah. Tak hina pekerjaan tu. It's even more complex than being a medical student. Suri rumah kena ada ilmu matematik (household finances, budgeting), medic (pediatrics, emergency aid, psychology (dealing with husband, different children and temperaments) and chemistry (needed in baking, cooking, storing, treating different laundry stains).(Tapi ini tak apply kepada mak datin yg kasi org gaji buat kerja la).

Most of us specialise in something because of our jobs..tapi suri rumah esp mothers kena be jill all of trades. Jadi jangan hina suri rumah..they are more mulia and berjasa than many of us.

kenapa itu aleyssa sangat bitter?

"saya tak perlukan nasihat daripada awak...saya berdoa kepada tuhan saya tak akan jadi macam awak...BODOH sombong..."

look who's talking. who's the BODOH sombong now?

btw, magenta wasn't advising people to not study hard or go overseas, she was merely stating the fact that yes, spm is not a matter of life and death and studying overseas is not as romantic as it sounds.

plus, being a med student is quite overrated anyways. don't think just because you "buat medik" means you're all that.

Anonymous said...

Aleyssa gives a very good lesson in blogging. Do not over generalise. SPM tak penting?

Salah atau betul?

Pergi overc bukan glamour? Hey glamour la sampai beratus ribu orang nakkan peluang tu.

Jadi doctor hal kecil? Suddenly mereka semua boleh jadi medic...

Just becuz UMNO has sent you over suddenly it is a small matter. Tu yang Mahathir kata Melayu mudah lupe. Jgn generalised. Kalau UMNO tak buat polisi tu tak ramai anak orang Melayu yg akan di hantar ke over c. Dari Nizar MB PAS Perak tu sampai sekarang. Do u think DAP will sent you?

Most assholes reading the blog are sponsored by the government!!

A lucky few whose parents kaya sikit bolehla pergi sendiri. Tapi they really save so that anak diaorang bleh pergi overc. Thats how glamour overc is.

To Aleyssa, keep on your indeendent spirit. Memang betul badut di siber ni akan mengiyakan bloggers yg mereka kenal lama walaupun tulis rubbish dan mencarut dan melucah macam sundal mat salleh...

For all you know adek anonymous di atas tu lebih teruk dari Sufiah. Ini la jenis manusia yg fikir diri mereka baik tapi mentertawakan orang lain.

Tuhan sendiri melarang kerana orang yg diketawakan itu mungklin lebih mulia.

Peter Panties said...

Its really difficult to pretend not to get irritated by this woman.I know lots of UK medic students and i really doubt she is one of them. Her bitter comments just show the kind of mentality that you'd rarely see among medic students in the UK. Very surprising.

Ramblings. said...

I'd rather go to a bomoh than have my illness cured by a doctor with no sense of integrity or respect for others. Macam mana agaknya dia pass interview scholarship hari tu dengan perangai macam ni. Herm, maybe JPA,MARA dengan Petronas kena tambah another set of Q&A on morality and politeness.

anonymouse: Just because I don't brag about my accomplishments on my blog or my comment section, doesn't mean I can't advise people on how to avoid the same mistakes I did.

Please try to keep this comment section free from words like UMNO, PAS and DAP. This is not an entry about PRU12. And what the hell is 'indeendent' spirit anyway?

Go find a cure for AIDS. Lagi bagus dari baca blog yang ditulis oleh 'badut siber yang tulis rubbish, mencarut dan melucah macam sundal mat salleh', kan?

AKAB: You are their perverse pleasure. You should be flattered. And I don't think calling someone pundek once would qualify as being Lucah.

peter panties: With a nick like that, it's hard not to take a peek at your blog. Yupe, I find it hard to believe she's a med student in UK.

fiza: Haha that's the thing. They never ask questions yang berkaitan dengan politeness and morality masa interview. More like, "Bagaimana nak majukan lagi tourism dalam negara kita?"

eh, idlan pun ada kat sini. haha.


tahniah aleyssa dapat stadi kat UK. saya harap aleyssa ambil peluang untuk meluaskan minda dan tidak hanya bergaul dengan orang melayu sahaja. banyak yang boleh dipelajari daripada orang british, contohnya politeness. ambil yang positif sahaja, janganlah ambil perkara-perkara negatif seperti binge drinking, atau pun menyokong BNP (if they have their way, life would be much tougher for we brown arses, sweetheart).

I feel like an idiot now. I'm sorry Idlan, when I balas your comment, I thought you were a guy. Hence the 'sekeh manja'.

Great advice Nurul! I wish I could be as patient, but clearly I can't. Which just proves I'm still immature.

Udang 8 pound? *kerut dahi* Berapa kati nih?

by the way,

bukan semua sponsored students bermentaliti seperti aleysa tu ya?

dlm interview, mereka selalu bertanyakan tentang knowledge. and the level of confidence in urself. how you talk, how you answer the question (democratic, with respect, or maybe just bantah, seperti kuku besi). mereka tidak tahu attitude pelajar di luar bilik interview itu, dgn siapa mereka bergaul. mereka tidak boleh meneka mentaliti pelajar dlm interview pendek 15mins. it takes more than that, readers!

i can say that a good student mix and mingle around with different types of people. from yg nerdy gila to org yg ermmm, nakal/jahat (i do not know the term yg sopan). pelajar yg hebat tidak akan terpengaruh dgn peer pressure yg ermmm nakal/jahat. itu sumua sebagai exposure kepada mereka. to get to know the pic. if u know what i mean.

but i can say, 75% sponsored students bermentaliti mcm aleysa tu. how disgusting. how annoying.
