Pris's reception


I'm off today. And so I went to Suzuki car dealer to test drive the Swift.

Crap. Looks nice on the outside, but damn small on the inside. Ahaha. Dah biasa bawak Kelab Disko Avanza, cant help it.

Anyway, tonight is Pris's wedding at Kuching Park Hotel. Looking forward to it! Will be seeing Kanji again after such long time..3? 4 years?

Unfortunately, Dino wouldnt be able to attend the reception. Oncall in Kanowit...Damn..

So, before the reception starts at 6.30pm, I better get some nap. I think we'll be karaokeing until 1am tonight.. Lalalala...

new guy


Went outwith Izah.. macam biasa our lepak point is The Spring.

Easy, cause its on my way home, and her Uni (Swinburne) is just across it..

She told me she'll be going to Bintulu early next week. Doing her LI at LNG there. Will only be back by next year. Sigh....

And the other thing, she's met new guy, a Melanau as well, a bit on the short side. Ok la.. The funny thing was they were 'racing' on the road, while he suddenly dropped his HP number through the window into her's.

Cool..

Anyway, Izah seems very skinny nowadays.. I supposed from the 'Jimmy' effect. Lalala. So envious. Maybe I should try break-up sometimes la..good way of losing weight.. Eheheh.. Peace say..

I'm getting lazy to transfer all the pics from my PDA to the laptop..I think I misplaced the USB cable somewhere and tahap kemalasan melampau to look for it...

Junks


The new life demanded high intake of junk food and coffee, so it seems...

All my cash flow are definitely towards the damn Hospimart that charges twice the price from ordinary supermarket...

Huk aluh.

The good thing about drinking coffee and being superbusy is, you are basically bladder-drilling yourself. Yeah, see how long can your bladder retained the 1000++ cc urine...

Lucky me, God bless me with powerful urethral sphincter.

Anyway, I'm aiming to lose the 7,8 kilos people has been saying lately. As far as I concern, I have a quite slow metabolism... so even 3 kg will be AMAZING.. (bak kata Hana...)

Multip


Labour ward is OK.

So far. The thing about dealing with baby-laden women is somehow boring at times. Well, thats thing when all you do is clerking them. Clerk..clerk...clerk...cluck...cluck.....mbekkkk

Anyway, since starting working here I'm truly amazed at the numbers of young multipara. 24 years old with 4th child, or 17 years old with 3rd child, or more amazing.. 30 years old with 9th child! YOU GO GIRL!!

Ahaks..

And of course the underage, unmarried...its like 1 in 4 women here are as such..

Gosh. And I'm 25 and still no child. Thats like light-year slower than these women...

Starting new life as O&G intern in the general hospital here...

Cool people. Nice people.

Life going to be niceeeee...

Except for the 2 weeks of tagging..oh..yeah..

the end of foya2

My so-called vacation ended yesterday.
Despite being a stranger among the others, it was quite emotional. Now, I have 72 new frens!
Damn, I'm gonna miss my 2 weeks of freedom, before starting my work tomorrow.

Anyway, Malam Mesra was OK. There was a gimmick when Abe Mus called me onto the stage, to announce my beday. Ceh..macam aku tak tau. Cuma, itu la..aku kan pemalu sket...I was terribly blushing on stage, as per Sunny. Thanks for the cakeeeeee.....

We karaokeing until 1.30am. The boys continued on til 2am if I'm not mistaken. Ey Zak, ko tak nyanyi pun?????

I dont feel like talking much, so I'm just gonna post some pics. Macam2 la jadik. Kisah ngumpat2 aku dan K-rol, pasal diorang kenakan aku ngan Min la.. nasib baik aku kaki layan je.. Pasal Hairil xciden, pasal masuk utan, pasal exam, prepare for Malam Mesra (Pengarah JKN puji the theme SANTAI PANTAI.. oh yes, that was my idea, I was the who came up with the name... LALALALA), menari poco2...

Oh ya, I joined the tarik tali comp. We won, of course la. AHAHAH.

Rafli (@ spare hand) picked me up from Lumut. The journey was OK.. except the part where he laughed at me being snoozy in the car. Ngantuk beb, mana tahan asik berjaga until 1-2 pagi. Badan lenguh2 from all the riadah and stuff, suara pun sakit from all the shhhcreaming..
We had pretty serious discussions as well...LALALALA... I dah terrer poco2, so, no problem la after this kan say? EHEHE..

Sekarang tengah bingung isi borang tapisan keselamatan yang macam CRAP. I cant remember my old IC, then to think about it again, do I have the old IC??

Ok la..here goes the pic!

main ular

Ola pips..
I'm at Pangkor rite now. On hols cum induction. I've nearly 3 weeks here, away from home.

Ok la, BTN ngan kursus kali ni. Agak bengang ah, sebab kene brainwash gilos2 kat BTN, tapi seb baik dapat roommate yang kaw-kaw. So, takde la bengang sangat. Ye ah, dia pun 'terbuang' cam aku gak..Sesat di kalangan bebudak Russia nih... LDK tu pun cam hampeh. Dapat faci yang asyik merejek opinion aku jek. Pastu insist kate aku Melayu. Gile crap. Bukan la Melayu tu tak best, tapi, aku pun nak identiti aku sendiri kan.. Mintak sket baca Perlembagaan Perkara 161...

Pangkor pun OK gak..roommate aku best. Mahani nama dia. Kaki gayut. Hari tu aku gelakkan dia, pasal satu hari ni, dia gayut kat tepon ngan laki dia... Sekali, sekor beruk tu kejar dia.. Lari tahap Bolt gak le. Tu ah, aku cakap kat dia, suka sangat gayut, hah, beruk tu carik ah geng gayut...

Anyway, yang paling best kat sini, ketua kumpulan LDK aku la, si Khairul Kanak2 Periang. Best giler borak and wat lawak bodo ngan dia. Gembire bergelak sakan ngan dia. Aku dah lama tak gelak sakan2 ni. Ye ah, nganggur... nak gelak ngan sapa? Gelak sorang2 best gak. (?????) Tu ah, masalahnya, kumpulan kitorang kumpulan no 7, and nama kumpulan kitorang Penyu. So, basically, setiap game time riadah, memang asyik kalah la... AHAHAH.. Takpe ah, true to our name.. Cover line baek punya..

Tapi, panas ah Pangkor nih. Aku dah le kene maintain putih..AHAHA. Rambut kaler merah seh, kalau gelap, huduh jadiknya. Pasni, aku nak kaler ungu plak la.. Best gak eh. Kalo bawak pi keje, mesti orang ingat samseng mana datang keje..

Banyak lagi la aku nak story. Termasuk kes aku kene paksa berucap kat depan bebudak. Aku tak nak ah berucap hari tu. Ye ah, orang lain berucap pakai smart2, aku plak, time tu pakai siap2 nak pi masuk utan. Tak ensem sehhh.. Dah masuk utan tu, aku kene cium ngan pacat plak., depan belakang pulak tu (pervert punye pacat). Ternoda I.. AHAHAHHA. Sampai hari ni gatal2 lagi. Tensen tol.. Pastu kene flying fox plak. Tensen jugak... ye ah, 'bumper' besar ah, segan aku sehh...

Dah tu, team aku kene handle Majlis Malam Mesra.. YEY, BEDAY AKU HARI TU. Kitorang tak tau nak perform apa. Aku layankan je la apa2 diorang nak wat. Nak menari, menari la. Nyanyi, nyanyi la.. Jangan suruh aku joget pondan sudah la..

Rindu gak le ngan Irfan and Arfan. Rindu la nak tido sedap2 tak yah buat apa2 kat rumah. Makan pun tidak. Ini, kene makan (AHAHAH) 6 kali sehari. Habis naik badan ah. Naseb la kan... Nak tunggu orang blanja honeymoon kat Pangkor, entah bila ah... Perghhh... Hari tu, seorang budak yang dok sbelah aku, yang kaki gayut gak ngan awek dia, dan suke amik space aku (AHAHAH), usya2 website pasal satu resort kat Pangkor ni. (AKU TAK INGAT SANGAT). Kalau boleh aku nak bilik yang semalam RM10,000 tu ah. Ceh, berenang pun bajet asyik lemas je...ada hati nak dok hotel mahal. Kalo aku dapat bilik tu, aku qada tido 30 hari la...

Aku sebenarnya tak tau nak story apa.. layan je la sebab ada WiFi.
Oh, hari tu Azam kasik tau, wireless kat umah tak jalan. Router rosak or something.. Damn, kehidupan akan jadik lebih sia2 tanpa Wireless... Dah le,lepas ni start keje. Nampak gaya, melepak kat spital cuci mata je la aku nanti... Tralalalalalalala....

kursus

Finally...after 4 months of (forced) unemployment, I've received that damn letter today.

So, I'm off to KL on the 24th (i.e this Friday). Me and few others (Eka and her bro and mum, Siti, and Nuna), will be going to Shima's wedding in Penang. Pray for our safe journey.

And then, I'll be hanging around in KL for couple of days, enjoying free accomodation at Eka's hostel. Then, I'm off to Nilai from 28th til 1st November for my (3rd) BTN. I'll be more patriotic than ever after this. (remind me to register for SPR).

From 1st to 15th November, I'll be in Perak, doing my induction course. Basically to 'induce' me into the world of Penjawat Jawatan Kerajaan. How cool is that? Make me feel like I'm a CIA agent or something..

So, probably, I'll start slaving my arse off at whichever hospital they'll send me to, on the Monday after. No bother. I'm officially 25 years old and 3 days when I start working. Thank you for the wrong timing, I've to celebrate my birthday at somewhere else besides home, that's the 8th year now. How crap is that?

P/S: oohh, any juicy stuff I get during my getaway will be posted probably after I'm back from the course. See ya! Dont miss me :)

Reflect Me



While experimenting with my camera, I caught my own reflection in the mirror smiling at the camera as well. How eerie is that, huh?

Nah, I'm just kidding. That's my twin sister. Say hello to Melissa.

cerita lucu


Haha..sungguh menggelikan hati.

Meh la aku cerita satu story ni. Ingat tak, last few months, I've been struggling to get registered with MMC?
Memandangkan bapak aku keje kat Jab Pelajaran kat area Simpang 3, aku slalu pi jumpa dia kat sana, untuk dapatkan member bapak aku utk sahkan salinan dokumen aku.

Kebetulan kat sana ada pos opis, so senang la keje aku untuk mempos-lajukan surat2 aku nih. Masa kat pos opis tu, aku slalu terkene kaunter 2 ah, sbb kaunter tu jek utk hantar pos laju..ehehe

Nak dibuatkan cerita, few days before raya, aku mendapat SMS anonymous..sampai la skrg ni. Tapi, skrg ni, orang tu, slalu gak call tgh2 mlm. Aku plak jenis tido awal and aku suke flight-mode handphone aku mlm2, so, aku x pernah la jawab call dia.

Aku pernah suruh kawan aku, Izah, untuk pura2 silap nombor. Kire kantoi la nama dia Ainol. Tapi, aku still x dapat recognise nama tu kat mana2.

Hari ni, dia SMS lagi. Asik nak ajak berkenalan jek. Aku bengang la kene kacau mcm ni, dia siap bley tau nama penuh aku, siap tau aku doktor lagi. Gile scary dak? So, hari ni, aku reply, kalau betol dia nak kawan ngan aku, dia patut kasik nama and kat mana dia dapat nombor hp aku.

Betol la nama dia Ainol. Dan dia dapat nombor hp aku, sebab aku kasik kat dia, secara x langsung. WHAT??

Haha..rupe2nyer, dia dapat nombor hp aku dari borang poslaju aku. HAHAHAHA, damn, rupenyer dia adalah pacik kaunter 2 tu, yang aku slalu pegi hantar surat pos laju aku. Macam mana aku tak bley ingat dia. Nama dia punya besar kat kaunter tu. Mak bapak aku pun kenal dia sbb dia la orang pos opis faveret mak bapak aku..hahahahah.. kalau mak bapak aku dapat tau???

Haduih la, so tadi lepas aku dapat tau, aku mintak maap la kat dia, sebab aku slalu hantar SMS2 kasar sket kat dia. Aku cakap la aku x kisah la nak kwn ngan dia, kawan je la, mintak byk2 takleh la.

Aku baru ingat nak p bayar bil internet kat sana esok, nampak gaya aku dah kene carik pos opis lain.. Dia pun beriya suruh aku pi pos opis lain sbb dah malu dah ngan aku. Hahaha. Masalah sungguh.

Lepas ni, jgn la taruk nombor kat borang mana2. Aku selalu gak letak no hp kat borang ASB aku. Hari tu, ada la orang bank call..kalau ajak kenalan xpe gak..ahahah. Ini tak, suruh aku hantar balik resit bank kat dia...cessss....

Itu la cerita yang menggelikan hati aku hari ni. Aku demam hari ni, xde suara. Nak makan pun susah. Laryngitis? Pharyngitis? Tonsilitis? Apa2 la... yang pasti bladder aku sakit gile hari ni, sbb satu hari ni, mau2 dekat 3 litre air dah aku minum...

ode to poyos


Sebab ada orang cakap aku poyo from the last post, aku terpaksa la delete post tu kan.
Takut la kan membawa kepada riak.
Sedangkan bende dah jadik, dan bende tu sume bukannya nak dibanggakan sangat pun.

Bukannya aku ni Specialist Registrar ke.
Pemain gitar terunggul ke.
Atau pemuzik wanita underground terkemuka.

Anyway, aku tengah tunggu berita baik (atau sebarang berita at all) dari KKM. Tolong le kasik aku pegi kursus induksi tu!
Sebabnya aku nak payslip untuk mintak loan beli kete. AHAHAH.

Sedara mara aku yang lama menetap kat KL datang semalam. Raya ni diorang beraya kat Mukah. Jam 9.30pm bas diorang sampai Kuching. Diorang dah dekat 12 tahun tak balik Sarawak. Anak2 dia semua cakap LEPEH atau cakap semenanjung. Perkataan LEPEH ini berasal dari LIPAS. Dulu masa aku form 2, aku ada classmate orang semenanjung. Budak2 samseng kelas aku sume panggil dia LEPEH (yang tadinya bermaksud LIPAS). Betapa kurang hajonya kitorang. AHAHA.

Anyway, pagi tadi aku kene bangun awal tahap dewa, jam 4.30am. Time pose pun aku slalu bangun 5 minit sebelum Subuh. Dengan mata tahap kuyu lentok, muka tahap drug addict tengah high, dan berbaju tido, aku hantar cousins aku ke Hotel. Hantarnya jam 7am la, tapi tak elok la diorang sume dah bangun kemas beg, aku masih layan lentok bawah duvet 4.5 tog aku kan??

Sebab aku tak tau jalan pi hotel tu, dan aku mem-follow kete bapak aku dari belakang, aku terpaksa potong lampu merah dua kali. Ini sume bapak aku punye pasal la, bawak kete laju tak ingat. Dia punya Waja steady la nak bawak laju. Aku punya (ceh..aku PUNYA), Avanza bawak laju kang, tergolek dok! Seperti penumpang2 lain sebelum ini (mak aku, Dudin dan Azam), cousins aku sume horror time aku bawak kete. Antara kegagalan aku sebagai pemandu berhemah ialah brek last minute, langgar lampu merah, potong kete lain tak tengok side mirror dan melantak potholes. Oh yeah...I like. Satu lagi ialah, berkaraoke dalam kete sambil menyumpah pemandu2 lain. Disebabkan pagi tadi aku bawak sedara mara maka aktiviti penyumpahan aku terpaksa dicover line dengan lagu metal oleh SOAD. Mesti diorang bengang la..anak Pak Haji diorang ni. Dalam hati, mesti diorang berastagha macam tok Imam dalam Drama Malaya bila tengok budak2 penganggur lepak2 main gitar sambil siul2 anak gadis.

Sesudah menghantar diorang ke hotel, of course la bapak aku meneruskan rekod pekerja terbaiknya dan terus ke opis. Aku plak, dengan gaya macho, walaupun berbaju tido dan berseluar jeans jenama TOPSHOP, singgah kat kedai kopi untuk membeli breakfast. Tak jauh, depan rumah je. Sempat gak aku rembat majalah gosip kurang bermutu sebab duit bawak sikit je time tu. Hasil pengorekan baki duit syiling dalam kete. Lesen kete pun lupa nak bawak, sebenarnya.

Petang tadi, aku amik lagi diorang kat hotel dan ramai2 kitorang pi rumah Udak aku. Kitorang dinner ramai2 kat sana. Wa aku dari KL ada sekali. Malam ni, flight dia balik ke KL. Cousin aku sorang, Ayu (Doktor Ayu) pun kene balik KL gak, dia keje kat HUKM. Muka dia depressed gilos sebab kene tinggalkan suami and 3 orang anaknya kat Kuching.

Aku gembira gila sebab dapat jumpa Elly @ Acing, anak kepada Dr Ayu ni. Dia suka rapat ngan aku ni. Ada sorang lagi baby, nama dia IRISH (perghhhhhh). Budak Irish ni pun melekat gak ngan aku ni, macam sotong. Mak dia pujuk mandi pun dia tak nak lepas. Wow, bley jadik paediatrician aku ni. Mesti comel la. Jangan jadik paedophile sudah..horrorrrrr.....

Age group kazen mazen aku ni bley bahagi kepada 4. Satu, yang sudah berkahwin/beranak pinak macam kakak aku. Cerita balik2 pasal anak pasal suami/bini and pasal keje. Dua, sudah 20an tapi masih bujang, macam aku dan Azam. Cerita balik2 pasal kehidupan yang sia2. Tiga, masih bersekolah menengah. Cerita balik2 pasal exam dan pasal cewek/cowok. Dan empat, masih bersekolah rendah atau tadika. Cerita balik2 pasal main game dan kenakalan sapa paling tahap maha dewa.

Disebabkan aku takde geng dinner tadi, aku lepak la dengan Alan dan Aiman (adik Dr Ayu). Boleh tahan la borak2 ngan budak2. Aku kene la mode kanak2 masa tu, baru bley masuk cite. Yang paling kagum ni, budak2 dua ekor tu bley plak mintak love advise dari aku. Sapa yang gelar aku DOKTOR CINTA hari tu? Oh, ibunya kepada Farizzah...Dyg Fatimah Awang Lai... melaporkan dari RTM1 Sarawak..ahahah..

Habis dinner jam 8pm. Balik rumah je, aku dan mak bapak aku membantai durian, yang dikasik oleh abang ipar aku. Dibawa khas dari Taie. RM10 satu biji, mau tak ni'mat. Ni hah, serdak pun masih bau durian. Kompem esok pagi, air kencing pun bau2 durian gak...ahahahahahah. Malam ni kompem tido dengan aircond di bawah duvet 4.5 tog. Yang pasti esok boleh bangun lewat selepas Subuh, sebab esok takde kerahan tenaga khas.

Hari ni agak kurang baca buku sebab ngantuk giler lepas hantar diorang pi hotel pagi tadi. Mandi pun dekat jam 10am tadi. Vuze pun agak slow mendonlod OHSHC. Ada kawan pulang cuti dari Ireland 14hb ni. Akan singgah di KL dulu sebelum ke Perlis. Hopefully dapat Kursus time tu. Boleh aku lepak KL awal sikit, jumpa geng2 Ireland. Mau beli tiket awal la kalau boleh, kalau dapat MAS best jugak.

Amar bilang dia mau datang bantai kuih raya esok petang. Aku pesan bawak gambar Aussie. Tengokla mana yang bley diupload. Tapi, kegiatan agak kurang hajau la masa tu, mungkin tak elok ditunjuk. Masa kat Galway, aku tanya budak2 seswai tak kalo aku kaler rambut blonde. Sume tak agree, merah lagi bagus. Tapi sebab aku fanatik Jepun, aku venture kaler rambut blonde. Ini Amar ounye pengaruh la, rambut dia sekejap blonde skejap strawberry red...

Yang pasti, aku kene dengar la cakap kawan2 aku. Blonde sungguh tak seswai, sebab Amar cakap muka aku macam orang sakit @ hantu tak siap... Takpe, takpe..esok dia datang bawak gambar. Kalau ada orang yang mati heart attack tengok gambar tu, kompem aku tak kaler blonde lagi.

Pergh! Panjang cite...
Take care.

Raya Malaysia

Esok Hari Raya.
I miss celebrating Raya wif Galwegians.
I miss staying up late helping the kids masak2. Well, mostly I only kupas bawang and potong sayur je la. AHAHA.
I miss waking up in the morning, kecoh2 seterika baju raya, berebut toilet and then waiting for the slowest people to get ready..before boleh jalan ramai2 to Shantalla/Westside for solat raya. Sapa tu? EHEHE.
I miss the after-solat picture session, where those from the same class, or same house, or even same kaler baju take pictures together.
I miss missing class just to go visiting.
I miss having nasi himpit and rendang and lots of other delicious dishes. Termasuk biskut dan kerepek diimport khas dari Malaysia
I miss bergambar ramai2 and then konvoi ramai2 to the next (victim) house.
I miss the Raya gathering.
I miss celebrating Raya with my friends.
I miss you all.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Maaf Zahir Batin.
Khas buat Snipers: Pulut, Liyana, Hani, Zai and Aida, and the rest of Galwegians.

Project Raya

Because of my irresponsible act of dissappearance couple of weeks ago, I had to do my share of Project Raya the moment my plane touched down.

Project Raya 1
Tart Nenas
  • Needs great patience to make 400 of the above. On your own.
  • Do not skimp on the portion of the pineapple and the thickness of the base. It'll taste like crackers. As per Dudin.
Project Raya 2
Kek Lapis Citrawarna
  • Contained 25 egg yolks and 400mg of butter. Very very very high in calories. Not suitable for those with heart problem, vascular disease, diabetes and those on diet regime.
  • On the other hand, good news for facial freak. The leftover egg white can be utilise for facial mask. Unlimited supply. To wash face after use. Unless insect bite is one of your facial juju.
  • Needs high resilience towards heat in order to sit if front of the oven for 2 hours.
  • Looks great though this is my first try (pat on the back). Note to oneself, next time, better measurement for each layer and alternate brown with yellow or green instead of red.
  • No reading or watching Jdrama while attending to this cake. One minute too late, you'll burn the layer. (see the brown layer, most bottom layer)
  • Bakeries and some makcik sell this for RM80. Thats crap. My budget for this cake is only RM20. Now, that's a steal.
My next Project Raya, this weekend, will be Kek Sisik Ikan, Kek Evergreen and Marble Cheese Cake.
Next week, it'll be whole house paint-over. We havent decide on the colour yet. Dad probably decide on that 2 days before raya.

Take care.

home again

After few escapades, it feels great to be home.
I miss the comfort of my bunk, the great wireless coverage, my shoujo manga, mum and dad, Dudin, and The Monyets.

I thought I was tough enough to venture the world on my own, making my first home-away debut..
but, the lack of money and the family-sickness brought me back to my door step.

Anyway, the heat is too bad in Aussie. And Amar is a terrible host. Pergh!

ai hime

I've completed a short story. The grammar's sucks. The idea's shit. I'm just too lazy to do research on it. Plus, being a doctor, the best description I can do is mainly anatomical. Ehe.. (sounds pervy).
Anyway, you have to use 100% imagination capacity to enjoy it.

Of course, it's not here.
It's somewhere else.

Just like the ad I told my mum 2 days ago, "70% sale on all items...if you can find our store."

Enjoy searching and enjoy reading. Comment is only for blog authors, hence the happy note on this information...cause even if the story's sucks, no one can criticize it. AHAHAH!

Peace. Ja..!

guy and gal shud read this

Beware of guys who brag too much about themselves... they are either selfish, egomanic or low self esteem.

Beware of guys who talk too much about their mum... apparently they're not fully detached from their mum and you'll get hard time sucking up to your mother in law.

Beware of guys who insist on being loyal... they are the one who see other girls behind your back and claimed those girls are just friends.

Beware of guys who talk too much about his career and failed to listen to yours... they dont take you seriously, even if you're the bank manager and he's just a salesman.

Beware of guys who insist on you being Miss Perfect (e.g skinny and zits-free)... they only see you as a PRIZE, not as a human and they're the one who will ditch you when you turn 40.

Beware of guys who kept delaying a serious commitment in relationship (i.e engagement/marriage/having kids)... they cant let go of their freedom while they're fit, and you're just their "security blanket" in case they got ill/bancrupt/impotence.

Girls, are you dating one of them right now? BREAK-UP!!!
Guys, are you being one of the guys mentioned above? BEWARE!!

Haha...I love this shit. Thanks Yana for forwarding this to me. I will cia you super-mega Satok's ABC lekak tuk, OK!
Me? Beware.... la.

Kelisa masuk parit

One early-morning-shock-call today.

My sis had an early morning accident on her way to work. She was avoiding a dog that came out of nowhere, swerved her car to the left and end up in a ditch. She was lucky, cause she wore the SEATBELT, and fortunately her 2 kids werent with her this morning. Both Fan-fan and Mamat were at her in-laws house. Aside from smashed left passenger seat windows and banged up doors, everything else is still fine. As my sis said, "Hey, the radio is still playing". Of course, mum wasnt so happy.

And we all agreed, "Patutnya ko langgar je anjing tu!" (De javu, my family had this discussion once regarding kill or to be killed)
Funny thing was, after the accident, the guilty dog came back to the scene. Sis took its picture. HAH!

Sis was fined RM300 for reckless driving. She was trying to bargain with the police officer.. first saying that TODAY is her birthday (I bet her 27th birthday will be her most memorable day), second, she didnt kill anyone/anything, in fact she had SAVED the dog's life.

"Mun gia, kitak mintakla duit darik asuk ya!"

The police officer just laughed.

It will take months for the car to be use-able again. Claiming insurance money will take ages. And before that's going to happen, no repairing can be done. Well, unless you (as in MUM and DAD) want to sponsor the repair... unlikely though.

We all agreed on one thing, sis is a reckless driver. Haha. This is her 4th accident, if I'm not mistaken. Once with the old Daihatsu. Once with Azam's Kancil. Twice (including today) with her Kelisa. But she survived all them. She is one FORTUNATE reckless driver. AHAHA!!

Happy 27th B-day sis. May you live long enough to tell the tale to your grand-grandchildrens.

Monster


"I had my own thing with the skinheads years ago you know. And..and..again I was in London and these three guys, they go around in group because they have a lot of highly classified informations to convey to one another.(mumble..mumble..). One of them, bumped into me, very deliberately on my shoulder bit. Now, I'm a rational person. Usually, you know, in that situation, like you, I go home, have a cup of tea and think about what I would've done to this person...had they've been tied up!

I was too tired to pissed of and I just stood there and looked. And they came back. We had a chat. The main thing they want to know is how I propose to continue breathing for the next couple of minute. And then, I did a very male sort of reckoning. You know, I did the calculation. I thought, right, there's three of you, and there's one of me. I'm rubbish at maths anyway. But, in a record time, I've worked out that it will take at least 3 of me to defend myself against a third of one of them! Even if, he only attack me with his arse!

I'm not a fighter, you know. I'm a bleeder. The best I could hope for would be to drown somebody else in my own blood. If I dont drown myself before... You know, I'm not very good at dealing with those thing, fighting....and, I dont, I cant. And I cant even swim. I cant drive. I was gonna learn to drive recently but, then I thought, what if my car crash into a lake??"

butt flashing


Butt flashing should only be a priviledge for babies, sick patients and lingerie model.

Sadly today, while having a carnivorious buffet with 2 old school mates, I had the priviledge of one such sighting.

It wasnt a great reunion. Although I'm happy to meet them, but I'm entirely dissappointed with them. Its enough that I have to bear watching Nabila or Sh Amani wore skimpy skirt/shorts on TV.. but to devour one in public, and to realise your own friends 2x5?? Sakit mata and sakit hati. And the fact that I had accidentally saw her butts flashing through her skimpy "tennis" skirt? Fried chicken wont taste the same again... sigh...

Not only they've changed the way they dressed, but they prefer worldly talks too much. Gossiping about boys and gritty details which will surely answered with a slap (by your grandma 50 years ago). They bragged about what they've "explored", the job they do, on how they get to meet models and artists..bla...bla...go to pubs bla..bla..

It seems that this is a sad way how teens and youngsters become socialites. Talk big. Walk posh. Act rich.

Me? I just enjoyed my big lunch. Again, I dont know why they insisted on meeting at Bistro, paid RM25 if they're just going to have the salads and desert? Diet....

The higher the circus monkey climbed a pole, the more his ass showed.

Bear that in mind.

Woke up (again) at 7am.
Helped mum scrubbed the kitchen and dining room floor.

Used Mr Muscle.
It really works..just like in the ad.

After nearly 1 hour of scrubbing, my right hand throbbed with pain.
Its like reaching my hand into a sack of needles.

Guess what, I forgot to use the gloves.
End up, the acidic Mr Muscle burned my skin, especially the pulp of fingers and near the nailbeds.
The whole hand itself became red and hot.
Same with mum.

Finally we gave in...washed our 1st degree burned hand under the running cold water.
Went to pharmacy then, bought antiseptic and handyplast.

And before I sleep tonight (it is nearly 2am though..), my hand is really, really dry..the skin cracks around the fissures along the thenar and hypothenar eminences and around the MCP joints, still quite numb (probably damaged some superficial sensory nerves) and slightly warm.

(guitar-ing with burned hand didnt help either)

Note to oneself: read the warning at the back of the bottle before use. (really..no joke here). I realised the need for gloves and mask (in case of fumes), but a stethoscope, Mr Muscle, really???

Debate


I watched the debate tonight, on NTV7.
It had a funny title, pretty serious discussion, yet lacked conclusion.
But in the end, as opposed as they are towards the other, they managed to smile and shake hands with each other. Sweat laden grip, that is.

I'm not a Penangian, definitely not into politic. As much. But, from the debate tonight, I believed Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon definitely has the last laugh. He answered his questione, he'd managed to stay professional (he hushed the booing audiences, reminding them the debate is 'professional') and thus shows that he is strict and rules-abiding, and he is witty and calm throughout the Q&A. I supposed being CM for years had its advantage. And yeah, he's more fluent in BM..

It's pretty unfair to say the previous state gov had not done their job well. As what he reminded us, in 50 years of BN reign in Penang, there were less than 10 cases involving land issue. People forget, and the opponent refused to acknowledge that this meant, the previous state gov had been 99.9% effective in their admin. After only 5 months as CM, YB Lim Guan Eng is already complaining about having lots of problem to deal, lack of money etc. A good leader should be able to strive while stricken.

I wonder whether Lim Guan Eng can actually achieve the poverty rate within 1 year. (Of course he can..) He said it took BN 50 years to deal with poverty. He forgot that 50 years ago, nobody ever heard of PETRONAS, MAS, PROTON, or even ASTRO... Of course its easy to achieve the poverty rate in 1 year...Because now, comparing to 50 years ago, more people are educated, with government subsidy and incentive to help the people and the DEB had done major time in reducing the gap between poor and rich, with lots of employment and fair business opportunity ...So, of course he can. It's like making the obvious, more obvious la...

Finally... you dont assume people elected you because the previous state gov was a failure. You should feel that the people elected you because they want a change, and they will observe the change. We, as the people, has the upper hand to win or sink you.

Anyway, I believe both of them are good politician and both has good intention to help the people of Penang prosper. Unfortunately, both of them are from different parties. If both of them join hands together... there is no doubt Penang will be better. Tan Sri Koh Tsu Koon has done a good job, and hopefully YB Lim Guan Eng will do better.


Peace yoooooo...............

Demand

They demanded RM500,000 per grave.

Wow.

That's absurd. Of course I would be very angry if some knuckleheads exhumed my ancestors grave without notifying me earlier. But demanding RM500,000??

That's extortion. Emotional value...? Yeah right...

I mean, that graveyard had been there ages. What's the cost for a burial service 20,30 years ago? Does it come up to RM500,000? (Kalau kubur Cina, logikla...) And how often do you actually visit the grave? Even my father visits his father's grave twice, three times a year. After all, I bet those responsible will sponsored the removal and re-burying of bodies in the new graveyard...

Ok, maybe I shouldnt say too much on this matter. But again, even if its my own ancestors, I wouldnt be so greedy asking for RM500,000.

Lalalala.... thats the absurdity for the day today. If you smart enough, you can gain money from all sorts of chances...

Bummer

Today, I said my goodbyes to the great people of Merlin Park Hospital.
It's been a great pleasure to work with them. I'm glad that I finished my year of internship and my last day of working in Ireland with a happy note.
Surely I'm going to miss all the great ward clerks, Mary, Bridge and Roisin.
And all the Ward Sister (Vera, Aine, Collette and Mary) and staff nurse (all lots of them!)
The theater attendance, John and Mike. The Physiotherapist, Lorraine, Mark and John. The Occupational Therapist, Lindsay and Geraldine. The Pharmacist, Pamela and Caroline. The ECG technician, Margaret. Consultant Radiologist, Dr Kennedy. The Ultrasonographer, Elaine. Even the cleaner, Sean!
And the great colleagues, Roisin, Dave, Sean, Sudarshan, Giohar, and Paul. It has been great knowing and enjoying the company of these great people. Working should be fun, and fun is all I get in MPH!


Roisin: Galway Medical Scheme (including 1 year in Mayo clinic)
Dave: One year off and travels to Australia in October. Planning to do Radiology.
Sudarshan: Continue as Ortho SHO (with Mr Kearns)
Giohar: Surgical SHO in Navan.
Paul: RCSI's Ortho Lecturer.
Sean: Urology SHO in UCHG.
Me: A bummer for couple of weeks, then straight back home!


I said my goodbyes and thanks to Mr Gilmore and he wishes me good luck in my future job and never to forget my Orthopaedic. He'll write a recommendation letter for me! I hope in my future jobs, I'll get someone nice and approachable and is a good teacher as Mr Gilmore!
And I met my landlady, Elaine and her boyfriend, Alan later today. They're such great talented couple, and hope Alan will be famous... so I can sell his picture on EBay!!

gitar kapok

'Breaking up' from something you love is really hard. No shite.

After 4 years of ownership, I figured it's time to let it go. First bought in mid 2004, I was at that time influenced by an old friend studying in Cork. We're from the same matriculation (she was my senior at that time), and like any other talented Sabahan, I knew her for her great voice, her guitar playing, and the day her band won the Battle of the Band. She was my ROCK! I went to visit her in Cork one day, and she entertained me with songs by OAG. It was a mind-bongling experience..if there's such a word..

And so, I bought my first guitar few weeks after. It was brandless and cheap, but it was blue and I like it when I first saw it. Playing it was awkward at first, my fingers went numb and sore. Unlike others, I was pretty slow to catch up with the chords and tabs. Some even laughed at me, when the song I intended to play sounded all over the place. I can never tune my own guitar (til now, yikes!). I only play the basic chords..power chords were too challenging (now I'm playing the electric guitar, so they are OK now). I know myself that I sucks. But whenever I'm bored, stressed and especially while I was studying for my final exam, I like strumming my guitar. Sometimes I came up with my own song.. out of nowhere. There was this one time, I was lepaking at Pulut's bedroom, and we came up with lots of silly songs.

I was never great indeed. I was thinking of taking guitar lessons, but from my past experiences with piano lessons, I knew I cant keep my arse down. But I had great times with it. After longing for an appearance, me and few others performed a medley of songs. For stupid reason, we called ourselves The Broadband.. nyahaha. Such amateurity. We had great time that night and people loves us...

But as I said, it is time to let go. Cant carry 2 guitars on board. So I gave it away to someone. Few days back, I went to that person's house to send it, but she wasnt home. So, I made a little note for her, for her to enjoy playing the guitar as much as I did. I felt sad suddenly while I tried to stick the damn dried-up Post-It on the case. Should I'd made a wrong move, it's too late to take back my words.. And so I did a silly thing, I took my last picture with it. Call me emo if you like..but God knows how many time you cried over stupid stuff yourself..BOOHOO.



Things are more appreciated if you enjoy what you have. Now there's an empty space at the corner of my bedroom where my guitar used to occupy... It's like missing a heart-beat. You ignore it when it's there all the time, but when it's gone, you feel painfully empty.

Dinner for Ten

Called mum this p.m.
Did I told you I owed the Msian Gov RM756,000?
And guess what? If I'm still alive, I'll be paying back the so-called grant til I'm 55.
Great.


Oh ya, me and Roq went out for team (Mr Courtney's) dinner last nite. We went to The Malt House in town, which is quite a fancy restaurant. Arshad, Rasheed (the Reg) and Chris Beirne was there as well. I was seated next to Myles (yeayyyyyyyy...)... Had chowder for starter, Msia dish for main, and choc and chilli tart..Delicious!

It was a great nite. The fact that most of the people were drunk halfway dinner that I didnt even bother to be careful of what I say. So to speak, I was able to joke around with Mr Courtney (insan paling ditakuti....)..and was really friendly with Myles (nyahaha..kan Roq?)

Anyway, Myles was asking when I'm getting married..errr...I'm so not in the marrying state rite now la. He then advised me not to pressured into marriage yet, and told me to concentrate on my Surgical future. He was practically proud that I'm going to do Surgery.. Ok bos!

Oh ya, my 'tak-tau-malu-nyer-mulut' asked him, when is he going to get married..Dia cakap, "Maybe 2,3 years time. I'm still interviewing." Aku pun tanya dia, "Do you still have any application form..?" Dia pun jawab, "Haha..Of course...."

Ahaha..Gosh Marisa...Luckily you're going back to M'sia!!!

We went to The Front Door (Irish Pub) next. Dont worry I only had Coke. And unlike the pub in Msia (not that I've been to one), The Front Door is old style, gloomy, quiet, with Irish songs in the background. Its OK..somehow, we've managed to have good conversation in the pub comparing the noisy restaurant earlier.

Ok, got to sleep. I've to assist Mr Devitt's OT in Bons Secour mane. That's my 3rd OT this week...gosh! Penat den!

packing home

My 2-weekly pay is Euro 2300. HSE taxed me Euro 700. That left me with Euro1600. My credit card debt for June is Euro2600. I've only managed to pay Euro1600. That left me with another Euro1000 to pay. Thus, my carry on balance for July is Euro600. CIPUT!
Of course, that's only for June beb....AHAKS! Jangan panik beb!!!!
Thats the downside of cleaning your room...instead of focusing on 'check and clean-up', you end up calculating every little details on your payslips, reminiscing all the airline ticket tabs, analysing (or regretting) your exam transcript, read the Raya and B-day cards, shredded all your receipt and finally laughing at all the failed attempts on forging your consultant's signature... :p
So, after grueling 6 hours of cleaning and organising (while watching JDorama on my laptop), I've one CD rack, few CDs, lots of medical books, a file of notes and research abstract, few novels, utensils and girls' stuff, lots of clothes and coats, 11 pairs of shoes, an electric guitar + pedal + amp, a printer/scanner/photocopier, a radio, mini-speaker, travelling iron, study lamp, 2 fleece blanket, my LecoJoe the tiger, important documents and pots and pans to ship home.
Fuhhhh.....
The only thing I need next is the box to put them all in!!!

BSS course

"Wokey, suda siap.."

Haha..tak sabonyer aku nk jadik surgeon. Aku baru jek abiskan kursus kemahiran asas pembedahan semalam. Or dalam bahasa daerahnyer, Basic Surgical Skills Course. Ingat nak tulis blog semalam, tapi, pantang bukak internet, aku layan JDorama dulu.

Of note, sekarang ada crush baru...iaitu Mokomichi Hayami, Miura Haruma dan Tamayama Tetsuji. Sori beb, I live in DreamLand... Jum layan Zettai Kareshi

Brother Beat


and Koizora!!

It was a good experience. Halamak, ter-English plak. Aku belajar teknik menjahit dan buat reef knot. Buat end-end bowel anastomoses. Buat tendon repair. Repair artery. Buat Lap appendicectomy. Trimas buat kambing biri2 yang telah mengorbankan nyawa mereka buat masa depan kami.
Biler time assessment, aku takder masalah. Teknik aku perfect, bak kata cekgu. Dan keje aku tak leaking. Jahitan aku kemas. Siap cakap, kalau dia nak abdominal surgery, dia pegi kat aku. Jangan memain compliment ni wei...diorang ni retired surgeon ni. Tapi, aku ada big problem dalam handling instrument..cekgu cakap, awak nak bedah orang, bukan nak stab bunuh orang. Pegang scalpel, ngan forcep lek lok. Dalam hati, "Aku stab mulut ko kang". At first, diorang terkejut tengok aku..tanya Msian ke? Sebab nama aku letak Marisa Borhan..ingatkan Irish..halamak....best ah, bley jadik Irish citizen and live on disability benefit..ahaha.

Time kursus tu, ada sorang pacik Msian ensem. Ex-TCD..ahaha. Biler tengok, ada iras2 Tamayama siot. Hampir2 nak crush, tapi bila tengok Friendster dia, ada gaya2 vain sket. Malas btol la laki2 yang kontrol ensem and jaga ayu ni...Lain la kalau aku ni 'wanita', masalahnya aku ni 'ompuan'...perghhhhhh. Aku jugak belajar wat POP and backslab. Aku jugak telah dibackslabbed oleh pakcik itu. Dan aku menbackslabbed dia. Siap amik gambar bersama2, tapi Aini silap tekan, so gambar takde. Ada la moments of kecairan masa keje bersama2, ahaks. Tapi macam Plaster of Paris tu gak le..sekejap je aku cair..pastu keras balik!

Okay...itu saja. Mau layan angan2...

lonely


The journey yesterday was plainfully painful.

I sent mum and Azam back to London yesterday. Stupid me for getting early flight from Dublin to London, cause we ended up lepaking at Heathrow for 5 hours. More for them as my flight back to Dublin was at 7.

(It was one day round trip Dub-Lon for me...Cool!)

I went to check in for my flight around half 5. Had a cup of mocha and first row seat watching the match between Sweeden and Spain. My full bladder reminded me of my flight, that I need to get to the gate...which was at that time, merely 5 minutes before the gate closes. Lucky me. But I missed Spain's second goal...

The plane departed 30 minutes late from scheduled departure time. I was anxious cause I need to catch the 8.45pm bus to Galway. We landed around 8.30pm in Dublin airport. I had to run (yes run...macam cite Amazing Race) from the door to Immigration counter. And even though I ran pretty fast (come on, spare me..I was jetlagged, unfit and hungry), I still missed the bus. Yes, I saw the bus cruised in front of me. I would have run towards the bus if I want to, but it already went out to the highway. DAMN.

So, I end up using the Citylink bus going back to Galway. My supposedly 3 hours bus trip became 4 hours. Ces. And up from Athlone, I was the only passenger left on board.

These were my thoughts while on the bus:
1. How lonely it is to travel alone.
2. Imagine if I was travelling alone in a bus in Msia. Wouldnt it be scary? My thought went back to years ago when there was a lady engineer raped, sodomised, killed and dumped naked by a bus driver in Msia....SCARY!
3. Even scarier... imagine this. When I look outside the window, suddenly there's this eerie looking ghost flew next to the bus...ARGHHH!!!!
4. I have one day to rest before I start working. And I hope Mr Gilmore wouldnt be mad at me.
5. I need to settle my internship stuff. I.e, I need to get Mr Gilmore's signature.
6. I was thinking about my relationship...how bored it has become. Sorry to say, but communication hasnt been great since forever.
7. I should have buy those jersey in Dublin airport. Really cheap price, Euro35 comparing to outside market, Euro70!
8. I need to save money. For...... harga minyak dah naik! Crap, I've spent nearly Euro2000 for this family trip, it's time to pay back my credit card bill(s).

In Craughwell, we picked up one passenger. And my line of thought continues,

9. What happened if this guy is crazy? He might run amok and stab me and driver! Macam kat Msia gak...
10. It may be a good idea to jog back home tonight. After all, I need to get back in shape... WHAT SHAPE???

Arrived in Galway around 1.30am. Got a cab, turns out he's a muslim. So, instead of paying 6.90 for fare, he let me pay 6euro instead. Untung 90 sen.....

This time around, life is pretty lonely.
Happy Father's Day!!

Penyakit

I was assisting Mr Gilmore (as usual) in theatre that Thursday. And as usual...I enjoyed it.
Ehehe. He let me removed the K-wire and wrote the operation notes for few cases that day.
Anyway, that wasnt really what I want to talk about.
The main issue this time is "am I regretting my choice of profession"? AHAHA! TRIVIAL!! Again, not the main issue. I am basically out of idea.....
I was reading Tun Dr Mahathir's blog today (during my oncall hours...), and it's amazing how he managed to get 1 million viewers in a month. CAYA LA! Some even says that's a world record. For me? Some people just dont get enough of him. Well, I supposed we cant deny the fact that Malaysia has been greatly developed under his 'care'. He did have few glitches here and then, but nothing that can shake the country into political turmoil (emmm...well, DSAI is an exception).
On reading his blog, few things that he mentioned in his post are agreeable. The fact that we, Malaysian, are embarassed to use our national language (oppss...it's not like I'm writing in Malay..) in daily conversation. The fact that those who claimed others as racist are in fact racist themselves. How lobbying is merely a recommendation on one behalf OR an abuse of power. Hmmm..
I wonder who should I support. The people are now divided into 3. Either to aside Tun, DSAI or Pak Lah...
I requested a Renal consult the other day. Early in the conversation with Dr Brown (Renal Reg), I sincerely apologised as my consult (on behalf of Mr Shannon) is crap. And she totally agreed, and spelled out "SHIT" once I've finished my story. Well, we had a good laugh afterward though. And she actually saw that patient next day. I supposed, no matter how stupid a problem is, a patient is still a sick person. One day they're OK, next day, they're KO.
So, the government now is SHIT. But no matter how much we laughed and sneered at it, a weak/sick government is still detrimental to its people. Today, we maybe having fun criticising our own government, but in the future, if we're not going to do anything about it?
Kita akan menjadi seperti pesakit yang enggan/lewat ditemui doktor kerana penyakit kita tidak kritikal. Penyakit kita kemudiannya semakin teruk dan kita akhirnya mati.
Siapa susah? Kita jugakkkkkkkkkkkk.....

No hustle

Working is bad. Not working is worse.
And so, I'm in my 3rd day of a week hols. I spent the first 2 days organizing trip for my mum and bro. Both coming to UK in early June for 8 days, so instead of wandering around in UK, I'm hoping to bring them to Paris, Amsterdam and my lovely sweet home Ireland..
I do hope they enjoy the trip coz organizing is damn TIRING. Although few are impressed with me coz I managed to organize the trip in merely 2 days. Ada duit senang la. Main book and buy jek. Kalo time student takde duit...most of the time spent looking for the cheapest fare and accomodation.. Oh, zaman ituuuuu....
So, it'll be 3 days in London, 1 day in Paris, 1 day in Amsterdam and 3 days in Ireland. If it's only my brother coming, for sure we'll be going to more countries..but since my mum tagged along, tak dapek la. Penat orang tua tu karang. Even though we'll be spending nights at the hotel (instead of nights in airport or cheap hostels...oh, my sweet student years), I'm still worried about having her going through the long train and bus journey...
And today? I settled my Med Council Registration, bayar hutang kad kredit (which is more than my credit limit...huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa), usya buku at the campus' bookstore and lepak layan drama Jepun at Rumah Merah with Nuna.
Early morning tomorrow, I'll be flying to Brussels!!!! HUARGHHHHH!!!! I'll be making self titled "In Brussels". Oh, there goes my stupid lame joke.
Day spent with no hustle. BUSAN.
My usual attitude towards WORK has changed lately. I'm no more motivated towards work. I guess I need a change. Cutting my hair pretty short and dyed it red? Done that. (in again, my stupid lame words, I look like a watermelon..kah kah kah. STOP IT!)
What's next?

May 13, 2008

Rob Row

I had a row with Rob (Ortho Reg) the other day. He was shit, I dont know what his problem is. Cuba carik pasal ngan aku ke gile ape? Suddenly said I had attitude problem. WTF?? Who is he to assume that?
Even if I had an attitude problem, so what? I always do my job, and for now I havent kill or neglect anyone.
CRAP
It was cool though. I've managed to talk back to him. What? He thinks he's so good? Just because he's a Reg and some kinda engineer freak, I'm scared of him? Boleh blah. I'm not at the slightest impressed with that.
I dont even fucking care about him being warning me about internship bla bla. I'm gone (back to sweet home Msia) in July, and I've got a job waiting for me. Nak ugut konon.. you're not even an SpR to do that. Keje cuci bontot je ada la... AHAHAHA!
Gosh...thats all for now. I should've insaf after reading the Purification of the Heart by Hamza Yusuf.. tapi nak wat camna...selemah2 Iman... kan?

Curtin's OT

Because I was oncall over the weekends (and it was damn BUSY!!), I was so lowly motivated to work today. As any usual Monday, I started my day in MPH around half 8. Hanging around the office, checking my patients' bloods etc. And suddenly Dave told me that one of my patient had an episode of haemetemesis the night before. Ala.... busan la. That Sunday, I had to request a surgical review for Curtin's patient...for the same reason. Busan la....
Anyhooo... Mr Gilmore and Mr Khan was around doing the ward round. Apprently, Mr Gilmore was in a very good mood. Well, he always is. Which is GREAT! The great thing about him is (comparing to Clarke and Courtney) is, he always greet me by my name, he always smile and tries to make small talk and laugh at my stupid jokes. He's nice old consultant. And so, after reviewing that haemetemesis patient, he made a phone call to McAnena and requested OGD for his patient........ KEWL... one job off my list (malas benor aku hari ni..WHY!!!??)
And 2 people away this week. So I had to cover Giohar's job, which includes scrubbing in for Curtin's OT today. And Rob is in as well! ARGHH! Not only I was late for the first 20mins of the first case (which is a Right THR.. busan pulak), I had to re-scrub because Curtin suruh pakai that heavy head protector. Kah kah kah. Cam PowerRangers pulak!
Needless to say, aku jadik kamceng la ngan Rob. HAHAHAH! JGN GELAK! And then, after the first case, I was asked to cover the ward, since Roisin was very busy, and there are lots of sick patients and admission today. Tetiba terserempak ngan Mr Gilmore, kasi tau, patient haemetemesis tu dah transfer pi UCHG. Gelak2 jek dia kasi tau aku... comel la kan orang tua ni!
Jam 2.30 ptg gitu, Dave datang lagi. He told me Rob wants Sudi to scrub in for the second THR. I was like, " Why? He didnt like me is it"? Gembira la kalo difikirkan tak yah nak scrub in (sebab Curtin wat posterior approach yang sangat memenatkan tangan sebab kene angkat kaki and maintain knee flexion at 90 degree.... ARGHH!! - I'm so biceptically built by the way!). Tapi Sudi tak happy, cause he had just finished doing POAC today, and he has 15 patients, and he NEED to see all of them. So, both me and Sudi went to OT to see Rob. Aku gelak je tengok muka Sudi bengang sebab tak nak scrub in. Rob pun cakap, "Oh it's OK. Marisa's here. She can scrub in." Nyahaha. Aku pulak, "Oh really? I thought you like..opps prefer Sudi, thats why you want him to scrub in.". Rob mendefend dirinya, "Oh no, I thought you're gone. And I dont like Sudi..."
Sudah la pacik...Tadi engko yang suruh aku cover ward, dan cakap nak call aku bila second THR dah sampai...PERGHHH... Pengalaman bekerje ngan Curtin? He's nice as well... loves to sing while working, selalu tolong aku angkat kaki patient bile muka aku dah perit2 tahan kaki..ahah..
So, schedule aku minggu ni:
Isnin: OT Mr Curtin
Selasa: Klinik Mr Gilmore pagi. And cover ward time petang.
Rabu: Cover Pre-op Assessment Clinic pagi. And cover ward petang.
Khamis: OT Mr Gilmore. 2 THR, 1 TKR, 1 review of plate, 1 injection, 2 knee arthroscopy
Jumaat: Book X-ray (Mr Gilmore/Curtin/Kaar) and cover ward
Sabtu/Ahad/Isnin(Bank Hols): FOYA-FOYA! NYAHAHA!!!!!

popped the hip


Hari ni ada OT lagi. Macam biasa, pegi keje pakai T-shirt sempoi je, sebab hari ni ada 9 kes. So, satu hari scrubbed in kat OT je. Hari ni ada 3 kes Total Hip Replacement, 3 kes knee arthroscopy, 1 injection, 1 removal of locking screw dan 1 I&D of haematoma.

Macam biasa, aku scrubbed in untuk semua THR. Kes pertama, aku assist angkat2 kaki, sambil Mr Gilmore ajar2 pasal THR. Second case, aku tolong dislocate hip dan wound closure. Kes ketiga, aku tolong prep and drape, dislocate, assist dan closure. Dan juga tulis operative notes, seperti diajar oleh Reg aku, Mr Khan. So, step by step THR:

Date: 24/4/2008
Operation: Left Total Hip Replacement
Surgeon: Mr Gilmore
Assistants: Mr GM Khan, Dr Marisa
Anaesthetist: Dr Kennedy
Nurse: SN Cepta
Indication: Left hip pain and immobility secondary to osteoarthritis
Procedure
- Under spinal / Right lateral position / IV Zinacef
- Patient's prep and draped
- Anterolateral approach
- Haemostasis secured
- Hip dislocated
- Neck of femur osteotomized
- Femur canal and acetabulum - reamed, broached and wash out
- Components measurement and trial (untuk 3rd case aku):

Acetabulum 58mm + spike (x 2)
Polyethylene socket liner 28
Femur shaft 42/0
Ball -4
Simplex cement
- Vac drain placed
- Closure with Vicryl 1 and 2.0
- Skin clips
- X-ray in OT
Post-op:
- Clexane 20mg S/C and TEDs
- Continue IV Zinacef 750mg tds x 24hours
- Hip abduction
- TPR & BP x 48hours
- Repeat full bloods x 48hours
- Analgesia
- Mobilization physiotherapy

So, walaupun agak penat (dan scary) sebab kene dislocate kaki patient, tapi, gembira la sebab dapat belajar banyak benda time OT. Cool kan? Lepas ni boleh belajar lebih pasal knee replacement pulak. Hari tu, aku stuck sampai "excision of infrapatellar fat pad" je.. pas tu aku dah blur sebab banyak sangat measurement ngan trial.

Wokeh! Ciao!

Road Trip


Yey!
Juz arrived from our road trip to Dublin! Fiuhhh, after nearly 6 years staying in Ireland, now and only now, our dream of berkereta in Ireland fulfilled! Syabas kawan2 ku!
We (Me, Maedy, the Sat-Nav, Roque the gear/handbrake-controller/co-pilot 1, Amira the co-pilot 2 and Eka, the speed-monitor/cat-spotter/tukang penglipurlara) started around 10am from Galway. I drove the car til Ballinasloe. (Perjuangan membawa keter kuar from Galway City, and finally out from our home parking space yang sampai calar keter tu... tak yah story la. Simpan sendiri2 saja la Roq :P). And then after few-urinal-minutes stop in Portiuncula Hosp, we made a move to Dublin. And this time, Roq drove the car. Smooth driver minah ni... bawak 140km/hr. Nasib baik ada bunda Eka yang sentiasa, "Ish, lebih 120 tu Roqiah."
And then another desperate stop in Shell in Dublin City, after a near-incontinence-incidence by our driver..nyahahahahah. Rilek jangan marah. And then the responsibility passed to our macho-cool driver Amira, who managed to bring us in and out from Dublin City (nearly) safely.
After the talk By Dr Afifi from Oxford Uni ended around 7.30, it took us nearly 30 minutes to actually got out from Dublin City and into the highway. Needless to say, by this hour, the day became dark and Amira has to strained her eyes to drive us through to Roscommon. Hampeh punya spotlight. Oh, terhampir accident satu kali... traumaaaaaaa....
After a 2 slices of Tandoori Pizza and a good night sleep in Nuna and Maedy's house, I drove us back to Galway. Wow...ber'ular-ular' the road. Tambah pulak, mata aku yang rabun ni..naseb baik ada co-pilot Kapitan Roq kat tepi.. Tak puas hati minah ni aku suke pakai gear 1 masa stop..rilek laa...ahahah.
Ok, to sum up, we enjoyed the trip! Hopefully before everybody go back to Msia for good, we'll be able to organize a road trip again..nak tak??? from Galway, pi Letterkenny then up to Belfast, down to Dublin and Cork and back again in Galway??? JOM LA!!!!

MPH

Agak macam dah lima kurun gak le aku tak tulis blog.Nyehehe.
Aku, secara amnya, suke la keja kat MPH ni. At least nanti dalam CV aku bole la taruk aku dah keja 3 spital. Bile keje lain2 spital baru kita dapat rasa kelainannya.
Yang ketara amat ialah, staff2 spital kecik tak sekerek spital besar. Kalo dulu (ceh cam lama sangat plak) aku keje kat UCHG, stress level aku tak yah cakap la. Setiap hari aku bengang ngan nurse. Malam sebelum tu cukup tidur cukup makan pun, asal jumpa nurse esok hari mesti naik bengang balik. Mana tak berketul jerawat naik atas muka, sebab bengang. Dan sebab tu gak le, aku sempat buat aksi Hindustan lari balik kampung secara mengejut.
Ni bila keje MPH, aku terasa aman damai sangat. Mungkinlah for the first 2 hours, aku agak mamai sket sebab hari2 kene bangun jam 6 nak catch 7 o'clock bus, tapi as the day goes by, aku happy jek keje. Mungkin la bengang sebab utility and service wise agak kureng la berbanding dengan UCHG. Contohnya, masa aku keje ngan Mr Courtney, sekali telepon Vascular Lab aku dah boleh dapat Doppler or ABI or apa2 je la. Sekarang ni, katakan aku nak carotid doppler aku kene la fax surat pi Vascular Lab. Padahal MPH tu part of Regional Hospital jek.
Tapi Alhamdullilah la, sebab patient2 kat MPH kebanyakannya elective patient, atau stable patient yang ditransfer dari St Finbar, atau patient sekadar untuk intensive physiotherapy dari OPC. So, takdela yang major atau critically ill patient. Mungkin tak bagus sebab melembabkan otak (kerna kurang mereview patient) tapi bagus la untuk ketenangan diri aku ini. Tambah pula scenery MPH yang macam ladang lembu...ahahah...Padang rumput merata2 dan tambahan plak nak masuk musim panas ni, sedap pula kami beramai2 minum kopi/teh di belakang Hospital Ground bersama ward clerk. Time kasey Mary sebab belanja kami minum kopi pahit free :)
Dan nurse2 kat MPH ni baik2 belaka. Baiiiiikkkkkkkkkkk sangat. Seribu kali la baiknya, MasyaAllah. Ayppp...jangan puji2 lebey2. Esok diorang naik angin, habis la kan. Kenapa diorang baik???
1. First day kitorang changeover, semua nurses made an effort to know our names. And because of that, I know ALL their names!
2. They even apologize sebab mintak2 macam2 especially when you're busy.
3. They apologised when they became a bit harsh on you.
4. They make your life easy... they prepared the kardex, the chart, the discharge and prescription forms for you. All you have to do is sit and write.
5. They offer you coffee and snacks when you're busy and missed your lunch. (Not much, but hey its the thought that counts)
6. They respect your opinions and decision-making. They wont immediately dismiss you and run asking for the SHO (macam Carmel kat St Gerard tu!!)
7. They take good care of the cannulas!!! (Since starting in MPH, I've cannulated only THREE times!!!)
8. Unless important or urgent, they wont bleep you. Instead they put a post-it for any little favours eg re-write drug chart, doing discharges. Again, since starting in MPH, I get maximum 2 bleeps in a day. Some days, I dont get any at all.
9. They call the porter, the dietitian, the physiotherapist, the X-ray... hahah..all you have to do is ORDER!
10. They are understanding. Including theatre nurse.. they werent mad at me when I accidentally de-sterilised the green cover...Nyahahahaha!!!
So, I like MPH. Despite the early morning start, or having to cover the ward alone, or covering others' clinic, or having to do other people jobs...its still a nice place to work at. And all the ortho colleagues are nice and fun to work with :)
