Drive to USIM

Earlier this week, I was invited to be an examiner by the MSH for the viva. Ten candidates and the venue was a new one - at Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia or USIM.

It was my first time at the beautiful campus, and I assumed that the Medical Faculty where the exam was being held would be at the main campus. It turned out that it was at a separate campus nearby. Not a big deal though as it was less than a five minute drive away.

The place was surprisingly quite that day. There was hardly any students around. The venue was ample and everything went smoothly.

But the main thing was the peaceful drive down there from KL. I left just after 6.45 and reached the venue just after 7.30, despite turning up at the wrong place. Really loved the drive. One of my colleague initially planned to take a Grab from SJMC, but could not get a driver. Maybe it was too long a drive.

The exam was well organised and I left after lunch, reaching SJMC in time for my afternoon rounds. A nice day away from the grind of my usual routine.
