CK's Birthday Celebration

I am not going to talk about what had happend on that day because I think a lot of my fellow bloggers are going to write up the story. I will update some photos which we took on that day later as my internet connection is down again :(

报应

你相信因果报应吗？

时常嘴不饶人，

把别人当笑柄。

今天轮终于到你了。

想不到你也有今天。

今天吸取教训了吧？

希望你这次能学乖。

就当作是给位朋友的生日礼物吧 ：）

Ding's Charity

You must be wondering what is Ding's Charity? It is nothing but a 1.5 hourly blood pressure taking session at a church near Termiang, Seremban monthly.

This organization is leaded by a non-Christian, Ding since few months ago. He has divided the blood pressure takers (BPT) into 2 groups. Each time, 8-10 BPT will go to the church and conduct the session. Most of the elderly age range from 50-70. Each BPT will manage about 12-15 elderly.

Sincerely, it is fun to help them out. You can grab the opportunity to practise your skills in taking BP and giving advice. Furthermore, you can enjoy others to address you as doctor 2 years earlier :)

So what are u waiting for? Join Ding's Charity today!

Call 016-5416145 and you will be entertained shortly :)

Donation

Few days ago, 3 students in scout uniform from XXX secondary school came to my dad's shop and asked for donation. I was assigned by my dad to deal with them. "Just give them RM 10 and send them away." That's my dad's suggestion.

However, I ended in sending them away without donating a single cent. Why?

1. They came in nice uniform without sweat.
2. They came with a Mercedes Benz.
3. They only had superficial idea about the purpose of the donation.

It reminds me when I was a PBSM (Persatuan Bulan Sabit Merah) member back in secondary school. We used to collect donation as well. But we had to walk from house to house and shop to shop under the hot sun. Not coming out from a comfortable Benz. Besides, we had to know everything about the donation in detail and even gave out some small booklets so that people who donated know why they were donating.

Maybe it is a transition or revolution. Their method is just different from us. I think I just need to keep myself updated :)

Research - Part 5

Last week, we resumed our research project. It had been 5 weeks since I last followed-up with my research. We went to BJ, thinking of we could make a conclusion and complete the project. But everything was so unexpectable. Lets look at what had happend.

All our plates were heavily contaminated with fungus and some other growths. We could not analysed our result at all. So what to do? Prof. Ong requested us to re-culture all the positive plates. It means that we have to redo almost 30% of the task.

Apart from that, we still can't get the data that we need from the Infectious Disease Department in HTJ. They have been delaying the procedure by giving some unacceptable excuse. We are actually run out of time :(

We are so demolarised. But then, Dr. James sent us an inspiring email. "Its okay, do not get discouraged, research is like that." Just because of this email, we will continue to work on :)

Thanks, Jimbo.

Height

On the 1st day of Psychiatry, we were told to fill in a research form for our colleague. I finished it pretty fast. Then I peeped at ZY's form. Surprisingly, I saw a 157cm written in the height column.

JE : Why did u simply fill in the form? 157cm...lol

ZY : I didn't. I have no idea about my height. 157cm, anything wrong? Should be around there.

JE : (wondering he is kidding or seriously don't know about his height) I am about 173cm. How can u be 157cm only?

ZY : Of course la. U re taller than me ma.

JE : (wondering why he is still trying to defend himself) I don't think our height is difference by 16cm. U re at least 170cm.

ZY : Sure or not?

JE : SS is 167cm. So how can u be 157cm?

ZY : Maybe I m shorter than her lo.

JE : (his mind turn fast, can be a good debater)I m sure u re taller than her le.

ZY: (turn to SS) How tall re u?

SS : 167cm.

ZY : Then maybe I m wrong.

JE : ......

I am still wondering how can a person don't know about his/her own height. Even if you have no idea about it, your own estimation usually will not be more or less than 5cm. But in this case, there is a 13cm gap. And more important is he is ZY. So, until now I am still wondering is he fooling me or he really blur :0

In another occasion, I encountered someone who complained that she was getting shorter recently. I was wondering how can a person becoming shorter without any trauma or aging. Now I am in psychiatric posting. So I will think it is due to delusion of insight :)

I Cook

When was the last time I cooked a proper meal? Let me recalled......hmm should be during semester 2 when I was still staying with my 2 pretty housemates. Back in semester 1 & 2, we used to cook our dinner together. But somehow we stopped our cooking session later on as we were getting busier and lazier. Thinking back, actually it was quite fun and meaningful as it was normally the only time we chat and gossip :)

Since when I knew how to cook? I used to cook when I was in Form 1 & 2. Both my parents had to work and my siblings had to study in the morning. I was the only one who went to school in the afternoon. That time, I had no transport out to buy my lunch. So, I learned the skill from my mum. That was when I obtained the 2 years experience of cooking :)

After that, I stopped for a few years. Although in between, i assisted my mum in cooking sometimes, still it was not considered cooking. Only until I entered IMU, I cooked again. So far, my housemates never complain of my cooking skill, so I thought I still retained the skill :)

Then why am I cooking today? My mum went to US for a 10 days trip. My house only left my dad, sis and I. My dad wanted me to 'tapao' from outside and ate at home. Omg, I am having holiday at home. I do not want to eat outside food anymore. So I decided to practise my long-lost skill.

Below are the outcome :

Yes, I succeed. Neither my dad and sis complain. It is edible. Again, I gain back my confidence in cooking :)

A Bad Day

Today is a bad day for me. I am in bad mood. Not really bad but just may be a bit down. Every bad things seem always come together.

1. Suddenly I have to go to HKL tomorrow. We are given the choice of going tomorrow, going on the Raya week or stay with Dr Xavier. I know I will be busy tomorrow as I have to assist a seminar tomorrow afternoon but at the same time I do not want to miss the chance of learning Child Psychiatry from the specialist from HKL. So, I make a quick decision. I am going tomorrow. Actually, I am supposed to go on the week after Raya and I can follow up my research in BJ on that day as well. However, my plan does not work. Now, I have to travel for the whole day tomorrow because I am going back for Raya break. Besides, I have to make an extra trip to BJ after Raya :(

2. We are supposed to have a TBL and seminar tomorrow. Yesterday night, I chose to study TBL first. I studied until quite late although I was very tired after a futsal game. Today, we are told the TBL has been postponed to next week. My last night effort was wasted. I will need to re-study about this topic after Raya break :(

3. I am mentally and physically tired. I thought this will not happen after Obstetric posting. It happens again. It's my own fault as I always cannot resist temptation. Mentally tired because I do not have sufficient of sleep last night. Physically tired because I tried out a 5km jog on Sunday, a 2.5 hours badminton on Monday and a 2 hours futsal yesterday. Today I can really feel muscle weakness of my limbs :(

4. When I reached home, my home connection is still down. I called streamyx and the technician as well. Both parties refuse to do anything about my connection. Sad. Have to continue to become a parasite :(

Anyway, just as YY said, it is all part and parcel of life that we have to go through. I do not like to share my problem with others. I always believe that I can cope with them well. I will only write it out when I have solved it. So, it's not a problem to me anymore. I am happy again :)

Downtime

Already 2 days! I can't online from my house in Seremban. The DSL signal is blinking non-stop. My housemates and I do not know what had happened actually.

According to my housemate, the downtime started since Friday 9pm. It happened out of a sudden. That night, I didn't complain much as I was too tired. I slept at 1215am. A new record for me since I entered Obstetric posting.

The next morning, I woke up early. What was the 1st thing I did? On my laptop and rushed to the modem. OMG, the DSL link was still blinking. I told myself, "Never mind, I still have several tasks to be completed. Maybe the signal will be stable later." Then, I started cleaning up my room, filing all my notes and washing my lab coat. Finally, I have completed all the tasks in 3 hours time. The DSL signal was still unstable. Not really a big deal. I can always go to my neighbour's house to online. However, to my surprise, all of them were not in. One in KL, one in Malacca and another one in BP.

Guess what I did? My housemate and I ended up parasiting in HL's house for the whole afternoon just to serf net. We made a report to streamyx but their answer was very disappointing. They needed 2 working days to rectify the problem. Now I agree that Streamyx SUX :)

At night, we still unable to access to internet from home. So, together we cleaned up the whole house. I tried my best to wipe my ceiling fan. I hardly can reach the fan even when I stand on the chair. Still, I completed the cleaning. My neck was so stiff. The task will be easier if I am taller :(

It was really a boring night. I was wondering how am I going to survive these few days. Hopefully I can parasite in my neighbour's house until my connection is fixed :)

Lazy Day

Today, I am lazy.

1. I reached uni at 745am.

2. I slept in LPPKN for 20 mins.

3. I reached home at 405pm.

Why am I so lazy? I manage to find some excuses for myself.

1. I had not been sleeping well since last week. Although I slept for an average of 6 hours a day but I was aware of my surrounding all the time. The sleep quality was really poor.

2. I finished my weekend on-call. So, I had not rest for last week yet.

3. I finished all my posting summaries and reports.

4. I got ready the power-point presentation for Zain's seminar. However, the seminar took over by Dato. I was only informed a day before the seminar. I sms Dato but never got any reply. I sms Zain as well. No reply as well. The stress built up. This morning, 557am, I received an sms. Finally Dato replied. He requested me to meet him at 8am in his ward. Although I was so unwilling to wake up, I had to force myself off the bed and re-planned for the seminar. Luckily, I was able to reorganise the seminar with the help of ZY. Thanks so much.

5. I am going to have Dr Sulaiha as my examiner this Friday. I wonder why I am so scare of her. Perhaps I am phobia of her.

6. I have pain in my left eye for few days. I am too lazy to seek for treatment. I am waiting for it to heal by itself. However, it just won't recover......

Finally, everything is over. I can start doing my revision for my exam. Still, I NEED SOME SLEEP before I move on :)

SLEEPING TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
