First day of our Medical Psychology class. Started walking from our hostel to the evropa supermarket at around 10.15 am. Along the way, I stopped by at the “Megafon” center (where we can reload our hp without commission) to reload my hp. Waited for a while only the office girl ‘layan’ me. Haha. Not for very long though. At least, I get to the bus in time. whoaaa. If I was late for a bit, the bus had already left. Phew~. Haha.
Today the bus was very very terribly full of passengers. When I got to the bus, I was already standing at the edge of the bus door and I have to push and squeeze myself to the inner part of the bus so that others who hasn’t got into the bus, manage enter the bus. Can you imagine how packed was the bus today?
Good thing I was standing between Johnny and Bryan, my groupmates, cause I can cling on them to stabilize myself while the bus was moving. The bus driver was good in one aspect but he’s also bad in another aspect. Why? Along the way to hospital, he never gave up to let people enter the bus despite how full it was. He’s good because maybe he doesn’t let the people to wait for another round in such a cold weather. Bad because we had to squeezed and squeezed ourself again and again to let the people enter. Haha.
We just had to suffer for a few minutes, and then before reaching hospital, there were a few passengers got down from the bus and finally, we managed to ‘release’ ourself. Hahaha.

We had a combined class with another group today and it will be for our whole cycle cause both groups are having the same cycle. Today was just an introduction.

Tomorrow’s topics will be “Attention and disorder of attentions”.

There are a few test to check our attention. Let me introduce 2 simple test for you which we had it for ourself during today’s class. Hahaha.
First test called Shulte table (made by French psychologist Shulte) or searching figure table. Table are: (numbers are put randomly)

Patient is required to find, show and name the figure in correct order. Interval of time are recorded for every 5 figures (eg, 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, 21-25)
Test are done with 4 different table.
Psychologist can diagnose exhaustiveness if:
1) Time intervals gradually increasing
2) Number of mistakes gradually increasing
3) Seriousness of mistakes gradually increasing

Second test is Shulte-Garbov test, is to examining patient’s ability to switch over his attention. Table has 49 small checks with number 1-25 in black color and 1-24 in red color. Like this:

So, patient has to find like 1-black, 1-red, 2-black, 2-red, and so on…) Time interval is taken for every 5 figures (1-5, 6-10 and so on).

Then, a formula :

T1= time needed to carry out one Shulte table
T2= time needed to carry out one Shulte-Garbov table

If quotient more than 70% - ability to switch over is good level
If quotient less than 50% - ability to switch over is decreased

Want to know my result? Haha..mine is 50.9%...Just at the edge. Try out for yourself!
Hahaha….Want to know Johnny’s result? Go to his blog and ask him about it..hehehe.

Hmm..Class finished at around 11 ++ am. Then, reached Evropa supermarket and walked back to hostel. Before back to hostel, stopped by market to get Coli-flower and potato. Haha. Coli-flower (2 biji for 61.60 rb [35 rb per kg]) and potato (10 rb per kg).

Today’s discipleship canceled, haha, both of us canceled it simultaneously, cause my shepherd had an exam today, not sure what time finished. I canceled it because I thought I will have a long class. Haha.

Today’s dinner was nice~. Lynn wei cooked CHICKEN KURMA and a veggies dishes. Should have take a picture of it. Haha. Next time will take.

Before that, let me show something (I saw it crawling up my wall, so I took a picture of it, and after that, I smashed it with my eraser) :

Can someone tell what's the insect above?

How did it came into my room?

Why is it in my room???

Ok la…that’s it for today~. Hehe. Have a blessed day~
