Adhwa as a biomedical student at IHS


Describe your life as a biomedical science student.
I studied health sciences together with Medicine Cohort 4 throughout my first year, and then studied modules specialised in biomedical sciences such Clinical Microbiology (Bacteriology, Virology, Mycology and Parasitology), Histopathology, Medical Genetics, Clinical Immunology and more for the next two years. Also, as partial GenNext undergaduates, I also took external modules (which are usually our time to clear our minds from health sciences) such as Children’s Literature and Maths & Technology. Then being in a special first cohort, we did our academic final year in the third year, allowing us to do our Research Projects (my most heavy-reading and time-spent module!) throughout the year. Then in the final year, we will be heading for our Discovery Year. Not forgetting, my cohort only has 11 people, and being a small group makes us close to each other as family.

What do you think about IHS? 
IHS has taught me so many things, academically and personally. It is a place where I really learnt independence. The admin and teaching staffs, also the technicians are very friendly and approachable, making my university life worth it.

What is your favourite subject(s)? 
Firstly, I like Anatomy in my first year because it is my opportunity to draw stuffs on my notes and even on the whiteboards (and trust me, I even drew on my exam paper too!) Apart from that, I like it for the sessions that we have practically, which involved organ dissections. And then also, recently I am in love with Research Project as we were given the chance to perform our experiments by ourselves. It is the hardest module I ever had so far as a biomedical scientist, but we survived impressively!

Describe your happiest moment in IHS.
My cohort has this tradition that we started in the first semester – we went out for movies, ambuyat, or beach on the exact day of our final exam paper. It’s like our run of freedom. It’s funny that during the exam week, we seemed to be more excited about the tradition outing than to worry about our final paper! In addition, there is another tradition involving the whole faculty in which the juniors must perform during the seniors’ graduation night – I performed for two senior cohorts! The dance rehearsals and performances were memorable and full of laughter. I never qualified myself as a dance expert, but I had fun anyway!

Adhwa on personal matter

How do you define love? 
Hard question. I’ll say it’s indescribable.

What do you look for in an ideal guy?
Beckham’s well built height and shoulders, Niel Caffrey’s jawline, McSteamy’s voice, Gong Yoo’s hiding eyes… opst! Did I go overboard? Haha! Just kidding!

Do you have any celebrity crushes?
See above.

What is your favourite movie?
The old school 10 Things I Hate About You

What is your favourite song?
Too many.

What is your favourite food?
Desserts.

What is your favourite smell?
Victoria’s Secret’s Secret Charm

Justin Bieber or Rebecca Black?
Baby~ Baby~ Baby oooooh~

Adhwa’s future plans


Adhwa's published research project at the 7th Malaysia Indonesia Brunei Medical Science Conference

Where are you going for your discovery year?
Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics laboratory, Biomedical Sciences Department, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University Putra Malaysia. 

Which area of biomedical sciences would you like to purse?
To be honest, I am not yet sure. I might go for Public Health or even, Experimental Research. But you may never know, since I will be going to a Neuroscience based institute, I might eventually choosing that path. My wildest dream would be to be a designer for the Anatomy models and research experiments – if it ever exists!

Any advice/words of inspiration to the juniors?
Just express yourself. Be heard, and love your coursemates!

About this blog

This blog is created based on life in PAPRSB Institute of Health Sciences, UBD. Formerly known as Institute of Medicine (IM) located at the small building next to the UBD Herbal Garden, it used to be just a small group and thus, we call ourselves as family, and now the family grows even much bigger!! So this blog is a home to all the family members to catch up with everyone with new fantabulous updates.

Hope you enjoy reading this blog and thank you for visiting.
