Orthobot to X-Men..err X-Girl

2012-02-18T21:13:00.000+08:00

Wow......a new entry finally! =P

I have recently joined Radiology Department. It's been three weeks already. Finally. A good start to 2012. After been waiting for five months, they eventually approved my transfer request. Having said that, I did enjoy my time in Orthopaedics (a total good 7 months). Made friends with awesome people and having breakfasts and (free) lunches with cool bosses. It was a really good experience. I learnt how to detect fractures on X-rays which comes handy to me now as radiology MO since part of my job is to report on x-rays with most of them being ortho-related. There is so much to learn, and thick books to be read but yeah....I'm up to that challenge.This is it. I'm going to become a radiologist. InsyaAllah =). I will always remember Orthopaedics as my first MO posting in Hospital Melaka. I hope they don't forget to invite me for free buffet dinners during Ramadhan. Heheheh......

OK....enough about work. Last Monday, my sister flew to Melbourne to pursue architecture in University of Melbourne. Seeing her packing up (semua nak bawak, macam dah tanak balik bak kata pegawai JPA), getting all excited and sending her off at the airport reminded me of my younger self and my own experience eight years ago. Good Lord! Has it been 8 years? Time do fly like a jet plane huh? Gosh I'm ancient~.....T_T
Anywho, all the best to my sister! Make us proud like you always do. =). Tapi sedey la gak sebab dah takde geng nak keluar berpoya-poya. But now got reason to travel to Australia (once again) and New Zealand soon! Yeay!

More good news to share. There has been a recent new addition to the family with the birth of my first niece (big bro's second child), named Oadira Felisha (I know...!Don't get me started on this) on last Feb 1st, same birthday as my sister's. 1.2.12..awesome date right? It's public holiday too. My younger brother and his wife on the other hand told us yesterday that they are expecting their second baby too. *happy*

OK, dah abes cite.....next entry lagi 3 bulan. HAHAHA....

Anime: Summer Wars

2012-01-22T21:21:00.000+08:00

I rarely watch Japanese anime but this one is real good. It's awesome.

(From Wiki)

Summer Wars (サマーウォーズ Samā Wōzu?) is a 2009 Japanese animated science fiction romance film directed by Mamoru Hosoda, animated by Madhouse and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film's voice cast includes Ryunosuke Kamiki, Nanami Sakuraba, Mitsuki Tanimura, Sumiko Fuji and Ayumu Saitō. The film tells the story of Kenji Koiso, a timid eleventh-grade math genius who is taken to Ueda by twelfth-grade student Natsuki Shinohara to celebrate her great-grandmother's 90th birthday. However, he is falsely implicated in the hacking of a virtual world by an artificial intelligence. Kenji must repair the damage done to the virtual world and he must find a way to stop the artificial intelligence from causing any further damage.

It won several awards such as the 2010 Japan Academy Prize for Animation of the Year,[4] the 2010 Japan Media Arts Festival's Animation Division Grand Prize, the Anaheim International Film Festival's Audience Award for Best Animated Feature and was nominated for the 2009 Golden Leopard award at the Locarno International Film Festival.[5]

Soseh Soseh: Bangga dedah cerita dalam kain

PERTUTURAN orang zaman sekarang memang menakutkan sampaikan kadang-kadang dengar macam berani dan macam hilang pedoman. SS pun kadang-kadang rasa macam nak gugur jantung apabila mendengar perbualan budak-budak sekarang yang macam orang dewasa.

Ada yang tidak segan silu bercerita kisah dalam kain dan dengan bangga membuat pengakuan sudah hilang kehormatan diri walaupun belum berkahwin dengan pasangan secara sah.

Seolah-olah ia satu kebang�gaan dan perbuatan yang perlu dilakukan ketika darah tengah muda. Malah ada seorang artis cantik mengakui dia sudah pernah ditiduri seorang jejaka kacak.

Entahlah benar atau propa saja tapi itu memang perbuatan keji.

Coretan SS kali ini ada kaitannya dengan seorang artis wanita tinggi lampai.

Sebenarnya bukan soal artis itu yang SS ingin perkatakan tetapi suaminya.

Suami artis itu memang seorang ahli perniagaan berjaya dan berkawan
pula dengan ramai orang terkenal. Secara tidak langsung memanglah mereka orang-orang bisnes yang terkenal.

Hendak dijadikan cerita, satu hari rakan SS ada menemui suami artis itu di sebuah restoran Barat ala-ala ‘pub’ untuk membincang�kan soal perniagaan.

Namun apa yang mengejutkan, suami pelakon terkenal itu cuba menyambutnya dengan hidangan air setan.

Teman SS ini memang naif orangnya malah tidak pernah pun mengambil minuman keras. Maka apabila ditawarkan arak tentu dia terus terkedu tetapi tetap menolak dengan cara baik.

Namun tiba-tiba pula, suami artis itu terus menyindir, “Hey, kalau tak minum tak bolehlah nak geng dengan kita. Macam mana nak jadi rakan bisnes?”

Lantas ia membuatkan rakan SS yang pandai berniaga itu terkejut lagi.

Meskipun mula sentap ketika itu, kawan SS cuba ‘coverline’ perasaannya dan terus layan saja dengan gelagat suami artis wanita berkenaan bersama teman-temannya. Namun sebaik kawan mendapat peluang untuk pulang, dia terus hantar mesej kepada SS yang antara lain berbunyi:

“Kalaulah sampai aku kena korbankan pendirian hidup aku selama ini hanya untuk berniaga dengan mereka, biarlah, tak dapat projek pun tak kisah.”

Begitulah antara keluhan rakan SS tadi. Apa yang SS dapat katakan, itulah manusia - rambut sama hitam tapi hati lain-lain.

SS: Kalau pergi kelab hiburan, hanya minum ‘soft drink’ tapi bila waktu menari tetap paling ‘vast’!

Comment:
SS......Ko tu pun 2x5 bangang. Buat pengakuan macam orang hilang pedoman. Tak tahu malu dan bangga la tu mengaku gi kelab malam joget2 segala. - Dian

Drama Queen

2011-09-19T00:49:00.001+08:00

I was on-called last Tuesday. It was about 3:30 a.m. I had just finished reviewing one patient in ED when the ED doctor referred to me another patient. This one came with a deep wound over her buttock after being bullied (or should I say, being kicked in the butt) by a group of 'mat rempit', so as she claimed. Interestingly, she was not really a she but a Mak Nyah. Whatever la kan....

I was about to go and review the patient when they pushed her to the radiology department to get X-rays done. Remind you, at that time it was almost 4 a.m and I was dying to get some sleep. Not going to wait around for her to come back from x-rays, I tried to snooze in the surau and asked my houseman to clerk the case first. After she had finished clerking, my houseman woke me up and we went to see the patient together. Prior to that, she had warned me that patient did not want any surgical intervention done to her. Fine, I'm going to be dealing with a difficult patient. That was my thought at that time.

So I went to the patient and examined her. She was a mess with poor self hygiene. Her jarum susuk (x 4) showed up on X-ray. Ha-ha. I examined the wound on her right buttock. Damn... it was a big deep wound that definitely need to be cleaned and closed in the operation theater. I told the patient the same thing. She refused the surgery and I tried to convince her. Suddenly she jumped off from the examining couch and said these, "Eh tak nak lah operate2. You ni banyak tanya lah! You don't danger my life OK!" Then she stormed out from ED. My houseman and I, we were glancing at each other, trying to make sense of what had just happened. Then, we chased after her but couldn't find her anywhere. Her friend (another mak nyah) who brought in the patient came to us and told us that the patient was somehow crazy (due to bela saka) and that she had ran out towards the road. Uh, WTH??? Her friend said that she will try to find her and bring her back to ED. But she never came back.

Hahaha...sakit jiwa aku. Dah lah kacau aku nak tido....last2 lari pulak. Sabar je laa.....drama 3 pagi sungguh >_<

Baby, It's cold outside

2011-09-06T20:06:00.002+08:00

I watched this on 'The Glee Project' and immediately fell in love with the song. So cute! It was originally written and sang by Frank Loesser and his wife Lynn Garland in 1936. Ah! I'm such a hopeless romantic :p

It's funny though because I used to hate oldies songs back when I was growing up. I remember when I was studying in KDU college and I had two roommates who loved to listen to Mix.fm which always play songs from the 70's and 80's. Every time they tuned in to the channel, I would feel like killing myself. Ha ha. It was that much of hatred. Seriously, I was like "OMG guys! We're 19 not 90. Why are you guys listening to this kind of crap?". But gradually throughout the years, I started to like the oldies. I guess that means I'm getting old myself. *Sigh*........ hehe.

Well, anyways. Enjoy the song! I hope you like it too. :)

Baby It's Cold Outside (full lyrics)

I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor - Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well Maybe just a half a drink more - Put some music on while I pour

The neighbors might think - Baby, it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink - No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Ahh, but it's cold outside

C'mon baby

I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm -- Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious - Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door - Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious - Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a half a drink more - Never such a blizzard before

I've got to go home - Oh, baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb - It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand - Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see - How can you do this thing to me
There's bound to be talk tomorrow - Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay - Get over that old out
Ahh, but it's cold outside

Baby it's cold outside

Brr its cold...
It's cold out there
Cant you stay awhile longer baby
Well... I really shouldn't... alright

Make it worth your while baby
Ahh, do that again...

Hello,

Haven't been blogging for a while. I was busy adapting to my new workplace. Melaka Hospital is so ancient if compared to Serdang Hospital. Some equipments they use here are very old you can't even imagine. They should have been displayed in museum already. Seriously. They look like those ancient machines from Japanese/ British occupation era. While everything is contained in one building in Serdang Hospital, they are many blocks in Melaka Hospital...making me do a lot of walking and wearing heels does not help at all. *Sigh*

Ah! Enough bitching about my new workplace. The best thing about working here is my house is just nearby to the hospital. Only 10-minute-drive away. That means I get to sleep longer before getting up for work. Ha ha. No traffic jam, no more tolls and saving a lot on petrol! No more going to work and reach home after work in the dark. But having said that, there's price to pay. I listen to Riuh Pagi Era every morning while driving to work and that show always put me in a good mood before starting my day. But now, I miss having that. Uh well, you can't have everything right? :)

OK lah....to be continued next time!

Behind the Yearning for Zion Gates : I saw this on Oprah yesterday and I was both shocked and intrigued to learn that there is this sect called Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS) among many others in America that practises polygamy. More about FLDS in Wiki. Worth a read.

2011-05-12T06:49:00.006+08:00

One morning while I was driving to work, I tuned in to Xfresh FM. There was this segment called 'Brother Love' which deals with couple issues. Brother Love received a message from one girl asking the DJ to put his boyfriend through some loyalty test. But, Brother Love had a different idea so he called the boyfriend and told the guy instead of testing him, Brother Love would put the test on the girlfriend. Maaann!....I was thinking, this is gonna be so goooood! So, he dialled the girl's number and she picked up the phone. Brother Love started to introduce himself as some random guy wanting to ask her out. The conversation went something similar like this. (Remember the boyfriend was on the other line listening to their conversation).

BL as Badrul: Hi........Boleh bercakap dgn S?
GF: Ye, sapa ni?
BL: Saya Badrul, awak tak perlu tau camne saya dapat nombor awak tapi saya nak ajak awak keluar esok. Free tak?
GF: Hmm...free. Boleh je.
BL: Eh, you ni dah ada boyfriend ke blum?
GF: Takde...saya single lagi.
BL: (He asked again for the second time). Eh betul ke awak takde boyfriend ni? Saya taknak lah kacau kalau you dah berpunya.
GF: Betuuul...saya single lagi..tak payah risau lah.

The boyfriend, having heard enough and could no longer stand listening to the conversation yelled on air to his girlfriend.

BF: Hoi kurang ajar! Aku tak sangka la! Aku mmg tak sangka dia sanggup buat aku camni!
BL: Rileks bro..cool...cool
BF: Arrgh!!...dia kata dia nak kuar ngan ko..Aku tak sangka la dia macam ni!!
GF: Eh ni sapa ni?
BF: Ni 'R' la..Apa?! Aku pun ko dah tak kenal sekarang? (He started cursing the girl). Hey!!Kenapa ko tak bagitau ko dah ada boyfriend hah?! Aku tak sangka betul dia macam ni! Aku boleh cari yang lebih bagus drpd kau laah! Boleh blah laa...dasar perempuan ******!!!

Hahahhahaah....she was so BUSTED!! I was ROFL (oh well, not literally possible). It made my whole day! Anyways, I did not blame the guy for losing his temper. That girl is such a whore. Seriously, how could you agree to go out with a guy you don't even know. Come on....?!! What if he turns out to be a serial killer or a rapist. OMG couldn't she be any smarter? Konon nak kenakan orang...last2 terkena diri sendiri. Kah kah kah! The joke is on you bitch! The joke is on you.

Moral of the story: Don't be a slut. Please. Do not degrade your self-worth.

Peace!

I hate passing by the hallway outside the ICU and CICU. It's heartbreaking to see people weeping over their dying beloved one. I always feel awkward having to keep a straight face walking past them when deep inside I feel sorry for them. Sometimes I feel like consoling them and give them a hug.

*Haha kang tak pasal2 orang ingat budak ni gila tetiba nak peluk orang...apa kes?*

What is the matter with our motorcyclists?!

I've seen quite a few numbers of them riding their motorbikes at night with no backlight on. Giler berani mati... Kalau kena langgar, jangan salahkan orang pulak. Cakap bodoh kang marah. Ah peduli apa aku! Memang diorang bodoh pun. If they don't even bother about something such that important, just forget about taking extra safety measures like wearing reflective jacket.

Yesterday, I saw a boy riding a motorcycle. I could tell he is about 12 or 13 years old. Obviously he was riding without license. Dah lah tu, tak pakai helmet. Arggh...dalam hati aku bengang gila ngan mak bapak budak ni. Tak bertanggungjawab langsung! Aku tak peduli kalau anak kau pandai bawak motor macam pelumba motor GP ke...kau suruh dia pergi kedai beli kicap ke gula ke sebab kau nak masak...I just don't care! You are not supposed to risk your child's life. Kalau anak kau mati eksiden, jangan nak rasa menyesal plak.

C'mon Malaysians...tolong lah ada kesedaran sivik sikit. Sigh...

Suicidium

2011-02-10T02:39:00.006+08:00

Recently, there was this 14-year-old girl admitted to the ward after she stabbed herself in the chest with a knife in a suicidal attempt (better luck next time!). Today in the newspaper, a 17-year-old girl died after she jumped off from second floor of her school building (Yeay, you got your wish. Bravo!).

Before I write any further, you might think I've gone cuckoo with the next statement but just bear with me.

Okay.....here goes, I actually admire their courage. *WTF*

Well, don't get me wrong! I with no doubt condemn this kind of acts. But you have got to admit, who in his conscious mind would dare stabbing himself say on his foot let alone in his chest unless he is one fucking hardcore courageous human being (or just plain dumb). Okay well, people who attempt suicide may to a certain degree either depressed or schizophrenic or under the influence of alcohol or drug(s) and yes, that would alter their state of mind therefore explains their bravery act. Forget the ones with schizophrenia or under substance influence, I'm talking about one who kill himself intentionally. I'm sure someone who is mildly depressed and attempting suicide knows exactly what he's doing. Perhaps it it just an impulsive thing to do at that moment out of some frustration that he may regret it later but my point is to harm your own self, it takes a lot of courage to do it.

Take me for example, asking a colleague to prod my vein would cause me to scream before the needle has not even touch the skin yet and cause me to pull my arm away few times before finally I surrender myself (In my defense, sharp needle causes severe pain to any living creature with intact nervous system *OK! I exaggerate*)...and don't even get me started on poking myself. See...even asking someone else to harm myself with a tiny (very sharp) needle makes me freak out big time let alone stick a knife into my chest or less thrilling, slit my wrist . If I'd be given options to choose whether to end my life by taking my own life or be killed by somebody, I'll definitely pick the latter. Much easier.

Therefore, dear suicide achievers (I don't know if that's a correct term to use, whatever) I give you my respect for your audacious act but unfortunately, you have made the biggest wrong decision in your life but I guess, it's too late to tell you that now.

Myth: If you kill yourself, you will turn into a unicorn.-->> No! you're not, you silly! You my friend are going to rot in hell.

884 doktor perubatan letak jawatan - Tiong Lai
15/12/2010 3:57pm

KUALA LUMPUR 15 Dis. — Seramai 884 orang pegawai perubatan telah meletakkan jawatan bagi tempoh 2007 hingga September lalu.

Menteri Kesihatan, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai berkata, terdapat pelbagai faktor bagi peletakan jawatan itu antaranya ialah menerima tawaran sebagai tenaga pengajar di Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Swasta, mengikut pasangan ke luar negara, menerima tawaran pekerjaan lain dan masalah kesihatan.

Tiong Lai berkata, terdapat dua kategori peletakan jawatan iaitu peletakan jawatan dan pelepasan dengan izin untuk berkhidmat dengan agensi kerajaan lain seperti universiti dan pihak berkuasa tempatan.

"Daripada jumlah 884 yang meletak jawatan, seramai 757 pegawai perubatan meletak jawatan untuk tidak lagi berkhidmat dengan mana-mana agensi kerajaan manakala baki 127 lagi mendapat pelepasan dengan izin,” katanya menjawab soalan Senator Datuk Mustafa Kamal Mohd Yusoff pada persidangan Dewan Negara hari ini. - Bernama

The first time I wore contact lenses, I was in Form 4. I was even the first one to wear tinted lenses (hazel brown to be precise) to school back then. Yeah... I was bold. After a few years, I became lazy of the application/taking off process I switched to glasses. I only wore them during lectures or nowadays when I'm driving especially at night time. Uh..what actually is the purpose of this entry?

Well...sebenarnye nak show off lens yang baru dibeli online. HEHEHEHHE....

Love them that I bought 4 pairs. It's not expensive at all. Like 25-35 bucks per pair and they could last up to a year. Good deal riteee? Plus..I've been working hard. I deserve to enjoy the money I earned. =P

Suspek terbabit termasuk pemilik hospital, isterinya dan anak perempuan mereka serta tiga kakitangan ditahan dalam Ops Pintas Sayang yang dilancarkan Unit Anti Pemerdagangan Orang Bukit Aman, kira-kira jam 4.30 petang.

Dalam serbuan di hospital itu yang diketuai Asisten Superintendan Nordin Ibrahim bersama lebih 20 anggota hasil maklumat awam, polis juga merampas sijil lahir bayi perempuan berusia seminggu itu dan wang tunai RM21,000 dipercayai yang dibayar suami isteri terbabit.

Menurut sumber, siasatan awal polis mendapati pasangan terbabit membeli bayi perempuan itu selepas berurusan dengan hospital berkenaan sejak sebulan lalu dan mereka sudah diambil keterangan bagi membantu siasatan.

“Ibu kandung bayi itu dipercayai keturunan Melayu, manakala bapanya seorang warga Pakistan,” katanya kepada Berita Harian.
Beliau berkata, hospital berkenaan yang dikatakan dimiliki seorang doktor bergelar Datuk, dipercayai menjalankan kegiatan menjual bayi sejak lebih 10 tahun lalu.

Hospital itu dipercayai memalsukan maklumat ibu bapa kandung bayi terbabit bagi membolehkan pasangan suami isteri terbabit mendapatkan sijil kelahiran bayi itu di Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN).

Seorang wanita yang juga kakitangan hospital berkenaan, turut mengiringi pasangan terbabit ke JPN di Putrajaya sejurus selepas urusan jual beli bagi membantu mendaftarkan kelahiran bayi itu dengan menamakan suami isteri terbabit sebagai ibu dan bapa kandung yang sah.

“Wanita itu kemudian ditahan polis di JPN Putrajaya selepas selesai menjalankan urusan berkenaan,” katanya.

Difahamkan, harga bayi yang dijual sindiket itu boleh mencecah lebih RM30,000 mengikut bangsa dan jantina. Harga bayi lelaki dikatakan lebih mahal yang biasanya dijual antara antara RM15,000 ke RM20,000.

Bayi berbangsa Cina pula paling mahal dan dijual mengikut berat, iaitu RM10,000 sekilogram berikutan permintaannya tinggi dan sukar diperoleh.

“Jika bayi itu beratnya tiga kilogram, maknanya harga bayi itu adalah RM30,000, berbeza dengan bangsa lain,” katanya.
Beliau berkata, kebanyakan wanita menjual bayi itu kerana tidak mampu menanggung kos bersalin dan perubatan yang mencecah sehingga RM5,000.

“Selalunya yang datang ke situ adalah wanita warga asing yang mengandung anak luar nikah selepas menjalin hubungan dengan lelaki senegara atau tempatan.

“Oleh kerana tidak mampu menanggung kos bersalin dan tidak mahukan bayi itu, mereka datang ke hospital berkenaan yang sememangnya diketahui menjalankan kegiatan menjual bayi.

“Si ibu akan bersalin di hospital itu dengan kos bersalin serta rawatan ketika pantang ditanggung hospital berkenaan, selain turut diberikan sedikit habuan selepas menyerahkan bayi mereka,” katanya.

Selamat pagi rakyat jelata yang alpa ! (wah tetiba) =)

Sudah agak lama beta tidak mengemaskini blog ini. Maafkan beta. Beta bz dua tiga menjak kebelakangan ni. Keluar awal dinihari, pulangnya lewat malam. Jarang sekali kulihat matahari. Kalau dapat lihat tu gara2 terlewat bangun pagi. Hahaha..erk! Hari-hari bangun dengan mata lebam bak burung hantu angkara tak cukup waktu beradu.

Kasihan keluarga beta...duduk satu istana pun, tak nampak kelibat. Dua minggu beta tak bersua muka dengan anak sedara beta yang hensem tu...alih2 dah boleh berjalan dah. Huhhu...

Kamar beta tak usah cerita la.. cam kapal titanic (*tongkang tak glemer ok) yang karam. Ni sapa nak kemas neh?? Beta jugaaak..*sigh*

Kereta beta yang hensem tu pun dua minggu tak mandi. Semalam waktu bangla2 tu asyik mencuci kereta beta, hujan bercucuran la pulak seperti air mata beta (T_T). Thanks!

Oh bahagianya hari ini beta tak perlu bekerja menabur bakti kepada rakyat jelata! :P

The Agony of Waiting

2010-09-20T18:31:00.010+08:00

Today I'm off work. After taking my car to the workshop (I had an accident 2 days ago but that will be another entry). Anyway, I decided to go to the bank to pay my bill (singular ye, tak byk hutang lagi...hehe). I stepped my foot inside the bank at around 2 pm and it took exactly 1 hour to get to my turn. Argghh..penasaran seperti cacing dipanggang di atas unggun api oleh budak nakal lagaknya. And it took less than a minute to settle my affair. When it comes to waiting, I'm not as patient as I'm supposed to be. Since during school days, I hate to wait...hate waiting for the bus... especially going back from school (in the burning hot afternoon..not fun!), waiting for a commuter (again, panas okey), waiting in the airport for departure or waiting in a long queue to pay for goods or to buy KFC (etc) or waiting for people who are not punctual....it is such a waste of time unless I have a book with me to read or anything that can distract me from thinking..."aiyaa...when's my turn?..when's my turn??..c'mon lah people..do your work faster". At times, nak pujuk diri supaya bersabar, I say dzikir dalam hati..at least tadelah sia2 je waktu menunggu tu. Wohaa! (pinjam phrase keretamayat lagi sekali..hih). Jangan la buat2 terperanjat plak. Kecik hati ai tau. =P

I feel bad for patients who have to wait hours to see a doctor for consultation be it in an emergency department or during their outpatient appointments. Although I think they should make an effort to understand how the system works, it is understandable if one or two of them lose patience. I don't blame them. Patience has its limit. But let's not be too emotional. Each party has to put himself in the other's shoes. A good explanation can do wonders. And of course people need to take a break during work, but please don't take an hour to grab a coffee or lunch when you still have 30 patients/ customers waiting to be entertained. In an outpatient clinic setting, staggered appointment times can reduce the stress on doctors as well as minimising patient's disappointment of waiting. And maybe it's a good idea if banks have fast lanes like those in supermarket for quick businesses like depositing or withdrawing money. Last but not least, tell the furious I-can't-take-this-shit-anymore person, "Patience is virtue" atau supaya tampak lebih alim, "Sabar itu sebahagian daripada iman". Konpem kena lempang. Kekekekeeke.......

A recent conversation that happened between a medical assistant and a doctor (read: myself) on one fine afternoon.

MA: Boss...boss belajar kat mana?
Me: Ireland...
MA: Ooouu..camne la boss bley pandai sangat sampai belajar obersi? Boss makan apa?
Me: Makan nasik la...
MA: Ye laa...kot2 cara basuh beras lain ke? Eh, boss masak ke?
Me: Ciss, masak laa...

Cerita tangga..bukan tongga OK

2010-08-31T22:30:00.004+08:00

Entry kali ni aku nak komen pasal tangga kat hospital. Camne ler nak menggalakkan orang Malaysia ni supaya mengamalkan aktiviti sihat, sebagai contoh menggunakan tangga instead of naik lif kalau tangganya duk tersorok kat tepi pastu tutup dengan pintu? Kalau kat hospital pun tak health friendly, apatah lagi tempat lain?

Sepatutnya buat tangga yang terbuka kat tengah2 building..senang orang nak akses, maka dengan itu mereka juga lebih terbuka hati untuk menggunakan tangga. Macam masa aku kerja kat Ireland, aku lagi suka naik tangga daripada lif even though nak ke tingkat 5 sebab tunggu lif lagi lambat. Ni aku perhatikan orang Malaysia nak pergi satu tingkat atas pun naik lif...haduuu. Nak salahkan pun tak boleh sebab orang pun tak prefer naik tangga yang tertutup dan gelap (Takut kena sergah ngan hantu..hihih). Aku pun selalu jugak guna lif but in fairness sebab tempat kerja aku kat tingkat 7, tapi bila berkesempatan aku suka guna tangga. It's the least exercise I can do in between my hectic routines. Plus, try climbing two stairs at a time...an effective way to tone your thighs and butt.

Kempen Jom Naik Tangga. Satu usaha murni oleh KKM malangnya tak berkesan sebab pelawat tak nampak pun signboard ni...mereka lebih nampak lif yang terbongkang di depan mata. Syabas!

Dah! Korang jangan malas naik tangga,

2010-07-26T20:44:00.004+08:00

Beberapa fakta menarik yang terjadi di tempat kerja: (wad ortho untuk pesakit lelaki)

1) Patient bertuah. Alkisahnya ada seorang patient ni admitted to the ward. Mati2 dia kata umur dia baru 12 tahun. Pandang sekali imbas, mmg tau tak mungkin dia semuda itu. Aku tgk kaki pun dah berbulu. Tak mungkin 12 thn...tak mungkin. My specialist pun mmg mula2 convinced from patient punya x-ray yang tulang dia tade ciri2 tulang budak. Kitorang tanya ade IC card tak? Dia kata takde. Hmm..logik gak kalau dia belum buat lagi. Tapi yang paling best sekali bila kitorg tanya dia lahir tahun berapa. Dengan konfiden dan pantasnya dia jawab tahun 1998. Masa ni dah goyah sket ketidakpercayaan kitorang. Specialist pun dah confused. Dipendekkan citer, keesokan harinya....pagi2 aku sampai kerja ngadap PC, budak ni datang kat aku duk ngendeng2. Aku rase pehal budak ni miang sgt. Aku layankan je laa... budak kecik la katakan. Bila ward round... kebetulan mak budak ni ada. Terbocor la rahsia anak dia sebenarnya dah 18thn....hampeh!...kitorang kena tipu kaw2. Kurang asam punya patient. Rupenya budak ni autistic ..patutlaa hyper semacam. Cesss.......ko mmg bertuah.

2) Patient lain plak. Aku nak kena masukkan jarum kat tangan dia. Dia ni duk takut2 plak...siap pesan, jgn ganas2 ar doktor. Lagi la aku buat dgn ganasnya..hahahah..padan muka! Pastu esok2nya...bole dia panggil aku-ko je ngn aku..siap nak pinjam 10 ringgit drpd aku sebab nak beli makanan. Eh eh budak ni...ingat aku ATM machine ke ape? Tapi aku tak kisah je nak kasik pinjam, cuma time tu tade duit kecik. Pastu dia pegi pinjam kat awek patient lain. Sukati dia jek..... hehe =)

3) Ade sorang patient yang aku jaga ni ex-IVDU, dah berenti 4 thn lalu. Nurse suruh aku tukar jarum drip kat tangan dia Patient ni siap bley cakap cmni kat aku, "doktor ni biasanya tak reti nak cari veins"...Wah..wah, tau la berpengalaman. Aku jawab "Ha kalo camtu, awak masukkan jarum tu sendiri la," ..kikiki..berdosa giler. Aku cakap kat dia, "belum cuba, belum tau". Lalu aku pun berjaya masukkan jarum tu ngn sekali attempt je, terus dia minta maaf, siap tarik balik kata2 dia tu..Hehehe...tau takpe. Pastu dia bley ajak aku gi tengok konsert GAZA plak...bersungguh2. ..hahahah...aku errr...menolak dgn baiknya pelawaan dia tu. Takut gile kalo dia tersinggung.

p/s : Comel la korang..buat aku terhibur di kala tensen bekerja. =)

Ketagih makan uri
Oleh Mary Victoria Dass

2010/07/08

JOHOR BAHRU: Untuk memastikan diri kekal cantik dan awet muda seperti anak dara, ada ibu yang baru melahirkan anak sanggup memakan uri bayi sendiri kerana percaya cara itu paling berkesan untuk memenuhi matlamat mereka.

TEORI SONGSANG...serbuk uri bayi yang dijadikan pil.
Wanita lain yang berkongsi kepercayaan sama pula dikatakan sanggup berusaha mendapatkan uri daripada pembekal tertentu bagi membolehkan mereka menjadikan ‘tembuni’ bayi itu sebagai ‘hidangan kesihatan’.

Amalan menjijikkan itu didedahkan seorang tabib Cina di bandar raya ini dan lebih mengejutkan, dia mendakwa sebahagian penggemar uri untuk awet muda terdiri daripada wanita Melayu beragama Islam.

Lelaki berkenaan yang hanya mahu dikenali sebagai Sam berkata, uri atau dikenali sebagai plasenta sebelum ini dijadikan sebahagian bahan utama dalam pembuatan kosmetik.

“Tapi kini, mungkin disebabkan ingin mendapatkan kesan lebih hebat dan segera, ada wanita sanggup melakukan perbuatan tidak masuk akal ini. Malah, mereka juga percaya makan uri mampu membekalkan khasiat dan sumber tenaga kepada wanita yang baru bersalin terutama yang melahirkan anak secara pembedahan,” katanya.

Sam berkata, uri adalah ‘sarung’ yang terbentuk dalam rahim ketika kehamilan dengan salur darah dan bersambung dengan bayi menerusi tali pusat itu kebiasaannya ditanam dan diuruskan dengan cara baik.

“Uri bayi suci dan sepatutnya diuruskan dengan baik. Semua agama berkongsi kepercayaan ini,” katanya.

Dia berkata, kebiasaannya uri untuk awet muda itu dijadikan hidangan dalam bentuk sup.

“Selain makan uri ‘segar’ ada segelintir wanita mengeringkan uri berkenaan yang kemudian dijadikan bahan ramuan masakan. Mereka lakukan begitu dengan kepercayaan ia mampu menyeimbangkan hormon dalaman dan merapatkan hubungan ibu dan anak,” katanya.

Menurut Sam, perbuatan itu berlaku mungkin akibat wanita terbabit terlalu terpengaruh teori songsang yang menganggap amalan makan uri baik untuk kecantikan dan kesihatan terutama ibu baru bersalin.

“Mereka juga terpengaruh teori yang menyatakan keberkesanan uri dalam mencantikkan dan menghilangkan kedut di wajah. Bagaimanapun, mereka perlu memikirkan risiko memakannya yang boleh mengakibatkan jangkitan kuman,” katanya.

Sementara itu, Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga, Masyarakat dan Kesihatan negeri, Dr Robia Kosai, berkata amalan memakan uri sesuatu yang luar biasa.

Beliau berkata, ini berikutan setiap uri dari ibu bersalin hanya diselaputi darah dengan kebiasaannya uri berkenaan diserahkan pada pasangan selepas kelahiran zuriat untuk ditanam.

“Kebiasaannya orang Islam akan menguruskannya dan bagi pasangan yang tidak membawanya pulang, pihak hospital akan melupuskannya.

“Ia boleh didermakan jika terdapat keperluan perubatan untuk rawatan, tapi amalan memakan uri adalah pelik,” katanya yang menambah pihaknya belum menerima sebarang aduan mengenai perbuatan segelintir wanita memakan uri.

P/S: Euww..if only they work in a labour room..then they'll know eating placenta is the most disgusting thing to do...uweeeekk!!!

Lengan plastik gemparkan pengguna jalan raya

2010/07/03

LONDON: Polis semalam melancarkan operasi besar-besaran selepas seorang awam membuat laporan menemui lengan berlumuran darah.
Beribu-ribu pemandu terkandas apabila polis menutup sebuah jalan raya utama di Manchester untuk mencari anggota tubuh itu.

Bagaimanapun, kejadian itu yang membabitkan penggunaan helikopter dan anjing polis, hanya satu gurauan - lengan plastik daripada sebuah kedai pakaian.

Polis berkata, ia mungkin dicampakkan dari sebuah lori atau kereta.

Inspektor Tom Keaton dari Jabatan Siasatan Jenayah Knowsley berkata: “Ia dianggap siasatan besar yang menggabungkan sumber yang begitu banyak dan memberi kesan terhadap semua tindakan kepolisian Knowsley.

“Kami tidak pasti bagaimana lengan plastik ini boleh berada di tengah jalan raya, sama ada ia sengaja diletakkan atau jatuh daripada kenderaaan.

“Polis menggunakan begitu banyak sumber untuk menyiasat kejadian ini dan bukan setakat membabitkan wang dan masa, malah ia juga menyebabkan kesesakan jalan raya dan mengecewakan pemandu yang melihat tangan plastik itu.

“Kami ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada orang awam kerana kesabaran mereka,” katanya. - Agensi

P/S: Hahhahahhaha...sape la yang buat lawak April Fool nie...hadoii..menyusahkan orang je. Yang pelik tu...takkan polis tak check dulu tangan tu real ke tak kat tgh2 jalan? ni siap helikopter bagai...kalut sungguh.

Why we left and why we will continue to leave...
Posted by: MS Mohamad

I read an interesting article today about a few prominent figures addressing their concern over the increasing UKM and UM medical graduates who have left the country to continue their medical practice overseas.

After reading the news for 3 times, I called a very close friend, an MD (UKM) graduate to ask his opinion on how the news might have affected him. He has been working in Singapore for more than a decade as a Consultant Surgeon with a certain sub-specialty

"Why be a slave in your own country, when you are a king in another?" He replied.

Indeed, if anybody would want to find a reason why all of us left, either after housemanship, after being a specialist, or even after sub specializing, and now, even prior to doing housemanship, they need not look at our payslip, or the wealth that we have gained overseas, but only to the Medical System that has been rotting in the ignorance and politic-based stupidity that Malaysia has been well-known for (in the medical field).

I have served the system for nearly 2 decades of my career, waiting for it to improve for so long, and only finding myself in despair, quitting with a 24-hour notice and serving abroad. The system is, in my opinion, keeping doctors, since the beginning of their career as House Officers to the end of it, in the lowermost priority. When I was working there, doctors are so ill-treated, while the nurses and the medical assistants are overpowering us.

I still remember the days when I was doing seeing patients and rounds as an MO, while the staff nurses would mind their own business, having breakfast in the pantry, or having gossip chats at their own leisure. My House Officers would then have to do merely all the labour-work, up to the extent of setting intravenous drips, and serving medications. If I am to expect the nurses, my patients would have been dead, or the work would have been too slowly or incompletely done.

When I was a House Officer, I had to run down 4-5 floors just to review a blood investigation of a dying dengue patient. The ward staff would either be nowhere around, or will say that he is busy (busier than the doctor?) or the answer I got at that time:

"Doktor nak cepat, doktor turun sendirilah, gaji doktor lagi banyak dari saya"

Even when I was a Specialist, the staff nurses had to be called again and again just to make sure the management plan for the patient would be done. I was already used to answers from them:

“I’m busy with something else"

“My shift is already over"

...it was routine for me.

The Medical Assistants were worse. They would hide behind their so-called boss, the Head of Medical Assistant. They feel hiding behind him would make them not under our jurisdiction, that we have no power to instruct them in managing the patient, that they have power to manage own their own. I've seen them giving medications not as we prescribed, performing procedures without our knowledge, as if they are the actual "Doctors". They are in their own world, and we have to do their job, taking blood, labelling samples, and even cleaning gadgets from the procedures that we have done.

Oh, but the ministry loves this group. They even let them run a clinic now, instead of upgrading the clinics already run by doctors. The government feels that the MAs are very important and should never be ill-treated by those big bad doctors. One time when I was a District Hospital Medical Officer, I was conducting a delivery of a baby. An MA insisted that I remove my car which was block-parking his car. I answered through the phone that I was busy.

He came to the labor room and yelled "Semua orang pun sibuk jugak, macamlah doktor seorang yang sibuk!”

It is insulting that an MA or a staff nurse claims that they are BUSY, as busy as a doctor? As a Malaysian Doctor, I have even worked for 72 hours straight. I have experienced working until my 6 month old daughter did not recognize me at the end of the week.

Is that how busy they are? I am very sure that they are so busy, that they can only spend 2 hours at the nearby Mamak stall, or can only leave at 5:10 PM instead of 5, or can only have 1 hour of lunch.

The management staffs are worse. I have to beg and plead so that I can get my on-call claims, of RM25 per 48 hours of work. While sitting in an air-conditioned office, they will at their own leisure, process my call claims so that I will receive them by the next decade.

The state health or Hospital Director would just give another inspirational talk (of bollocks) on team effort and beauty of teamwork.

That is how Malaysian doctors are treated in the government sector: without respect, without dignity and without significance. Why?

It is because we are bound by ethics to try our best to save lives, despite how ill-treated we are. We hardly have time to complaint because we are too busy or tired, and we would rather spend the precious time resting or seeing our loved ones. The burden of trying to save lives is on our shoulders alone. No MAs or Staff nurses would shoulder it with us. They have their own bosses: the Sisters, Matrons, or Head of MAs, which job description is to ensure that the big bad doctors will not ask their underlings to do extra work.

This is how the Malaysian Ministry of Health have treated their doctors. I am very sure that in each and every doctor, there is a slowly-burning patience in serving the Malaysian people, which will eventually fade and cause them to surrender to serving a place that treats them better.

A few colleagues who graduated from UK choose to serve there:

"The pay is more, and we get the respect we deserve"

Another works in Brunei:

“Here the staff nurses respect Malaysian doctors, and they are very co-operative" (He ended up marrying one)

A few are consultants in Singapore (working with me):

"Here we are treated well, we spearhead the management, and every else do their work to the best of their capabilities".

A few even enjoys working in Indonesia:

“The work-load is horrible since there are a lot of patients, but we are well respected by every hospital personnel" (They have migrated there for nearly a decade)

I am sure that people will see doctors as power-hungry individuals who want to be the boss in the hospital. Trust me, after having graduated 6-7 years of medical school, earning a DEGREE, and subsequently MASTERS, and SUBSPECIALITY, you would expect a degree of respect and being considered important. We are trying our best to improve patient's quality of life, or making sure he lives another day. Is it too much to ask from the system that we are important?

I find that Malaysia is the only country that is making doctors' lives miserable and treated like rubbish. It was never about the pay in the first place. It is about the treatment we are getting and the false political-based promises. Do you know that the so-called circular about doctors can have the day off after working 24 hours straight released JULY 2009 is not yet implemented? Do you know that the raise of UD 41 to 44 does not involve every doctor in the government service?

We are waiting for improvement. We have waited a long time when we were working in the system. Somewhere along the line we decided to leave and wait outside the system. Until the system changes, we will continue to work overseas, in countries which are appreciative of us. Trust me, Malaysian-graduate doctors are considered highly skilful and competent in neighbouring countries, and the 15 % brain drain is more significant than you think.

We will return when the system prioritize us and gives us the quality of life we deserve.

If it stays the same, Malaysian Hospitals would end up having Staff nurses and Medical Assistants as "Doctors", and we would have to send patients to Indonesia for an appendicectomy.

Hear our voice. We hardly speak, but will usually fade away from conflict (and fly to another place).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below are some readers' comments that I agree with:

Thank you for all your kind comments.

I have served this country for more than 2 decades, from a House officer, to a medical officer, to a specialis, and lastly a consultant.

Most of us who left, have paid our "debts" to society, sacrificing too much from ourselves to our profession, mostly from our family and social life.

If being unpatriotic is defined as not serving a country governed by fools who would rather spend a quarter of the budget sending a final year orthopedic registrar (not orthopedic surgeon) to the moon than help improve government hospitals and health care system for the poor, than yes, I am unpatriotic.

No singapore graduate would run away from a system that treats them well.

The government should not use lame excuse like patriotism, and loyalty to country to retain doctors. Instead it should improve the system for its people.

If you are a poor homeless from an underdeveloped village, working day and night to earn a penny, and a company from the big city is offering you a 5 figure job, a home
and a comfortable life, wouldn't you do the same?

By mailer_demonmy, 5-May-2010
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Very well said.

We must realize that being a doctor, we have the responsibility to serve the country and the people.

But it doesn't give the government the right to use this phrase to ask doctors to work on 48 hour shifts, treated badly by other health personnel and so on.

Doctors are humans too. They have their families, they have feelings too. Just because they are doctors doesn't mean they are superhuman. One cannot expect a frustrated, tired and overworked doctor to continuously pour out dedication and care for others when he himself is stuck in a rut.

As a doctor, we always remind others to maintain a good and healthy lifestyle. Get enough rest, eat regularly, exercise 3 times a week. How many doctors are able to that? A doctor would be too tired when they come home to do any of those and would only be interested in repaying the sleep debt he has accumulated.

And I haven't even start talking about family time. Pity those mothers who are doctors. I have heard doctors telling me that their children hate doctors because of the lack of time they spend with their children.

Think about it. Medicine is already tough as it is. If this job is such an important job to the country, why don't they try to care more for doctor's well being?

A doctor is a noble profession. Because they sacrifice their lives to safe others.

i just returned to malaysia for my clinical practice. after reading this article, i felt a need to post a comment to voice out my sentiment,
and probably a good fair share of my colleagues'.
within this year alone, i have been through two very different health systems. one overseas and here in Malaysia, of course..
however, i feel very sad to say, that i now know what it feels like to be a second-class citizen in my own country. when i was overseas, i had endless amount of
motivation and enthusiasm. i felt a bounce in every step i took.. and i felt so happy everyday doing what i do. not only i feel like everyone was working in a team, but my
seniors, registrars, consultants and nurses were so encouraging, there was never once i felt unappreciated, but instead i felt like i just kept on wanting to improve myself and help others. i woke up every morning looking forward to go to the hospital, and i actually treated the hospital as though it was my home, never once minded how many hours i spent there because i really loved what i was doing. i spoke so highly of
what i was experiencing, i'm pretty sure it annoyed the crap out of my friends. it wasnt because i was treated like a king there, no, because i was a junior
in the hospital, like now, but the system was just.. better.
being in the workforce now, i really see so many great doctors in malaysia. not all of them are lost to greener pastures. in fact, we really do have the expertise. but
really, nothing much is being done to cultivate this group of people. i believe, resources is one of the main issues. the other, the system is just simply too restrictive.
JPA sends thousands of students overseas to study yearly, which is good of course, but the allowance that the JPA scholars receive each month goes way beyond what a person needs to lead a modest life. in fact, its enough to give their parents some pocket money. i'm not criticising any party here, what i'm trying to say is, if we could save a mere rm 300 (convert to foreign currency) for each student, resources we have back here - plenty! better and
more research facilities. why then would we want to go to singapore or the likes? how about a basic thing like installing air con for the government hospital wards and lobbies? maybe everyone would just be that slightly less temperemental person in a more cooling environment..

i am back home. i am back to what is familiar. i am back to my family and friends. why then, do i feel the way i am feeling?

The Claim: Caffeine Helps Prevent Nighttime Accidents on the Job

About 8.6 million Americans work night shifts, and for many of them fatigue is a serious problem.

Night workers — from health professionals to air traffic controllers — experience more accidents and injuries on the job, report more medical errors and face a greater risk of car crashes after their shifts. Some of the most high-profile accidents linked to human error have occurred on the night shift, including the Exxon Valdez disaster and the nuclear accidents at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. The recent BP oil spill also occurred at the start of an overnight shift, though the cause is still under investigation.

Scientists have tried melatonin, prescription medications and light therapy to help relieve so-called shift work disorder, caused by disruptions in the body’s circadian rhythm. But research shows that nothing seems to work quite as well as caffeine.

In a study published in the latest issue of The Cochrane Library, scientists pooled data from 13 previous studies on performance among shift workers. The studies also looked at performance on tasks like driving and neuropsychological tests. Ultimately, they found that caffeine worked better than a placebo — and even naps — at reducing errors and improving performance on tasks including those involving memory, attention, perception, concept formation and reasoning.

Another study at Harvard Medical School found that caffeine worked best in small doses spread out over time.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Caffeine is an effective aid to nighttime job performance.

A LETTER FOR YOU

Dear Witch,

It is so damn funny when you tend to repeatedly speak highly of yourself and you delusionally think that you are loved by others when in fact people detest you and say bad things about you behind your back. Don't you realize that? I pity you. Again I pity you.

Hey, want my advice? :

Chill. Be cool. Ko buat aku malu with the other gender.
What's with getting so emotional, so dramatic? C'mon laa! Life is simple. Why make a big deal over such small things...haiyaa. Sakit otak aku!
People have problems too. You should listen to them.
Do not patronize people. People have feelings, you know.
Do not simply pass judgment on other people without getting to know them. It's not nice. Remember we are all diverse and all have different lifestyles and reasons for making choices we wouldn't make in our own lives.
Get your own life. Rimas tau tak?

I would be so so sooooo grateful if you could stay out of my face as much as possible. Thank you!

Yours sincerely (or maybe not),

p/s: Aku kah yang emo? Tak ah. ;p...and please don't ask me who the witch is.

The Fast & Furious: KL Drift

2010-05-02T22:18:00.018+08:00

I love to drive.

Ececeh...ni bukan statement sebab aku ada keta baru ok. Driving is one way I de-stress myself. I rather be the driver than be a passenger especially if it's a long journey although I suck at direction.
Well, all I need is a good co-driver. Kalo tak...selamat bersesatan!;p
I think I'm not a bad driver even though sometimes I do break the rules (kan kawan-kawan? =P)...and I like to drive fast. Extra adrenaline kot. Sebabnye, bila aku kat driver seat...especially kalo drive keta yang best..tak rasa plak cam laju even though dah cecah 160 km/h. Kesian sesapa yg naik keta ngan aku...mesti kecut perut. Sorry, serius tak rasa laju. Tapi kan...aku selalu rase cuak kalo lalu sebelah keta polis..padahal tak buat salah apa2 pun. Mula la nak bawak secara berhemah..teeheehee..Hipokrit sungguh. Selama 10 tahun aku bergelar seorang driver, baru sekali je (hinss..hinss.. berlagak) aku kena saman sebab langgar lampu merah...damn!..padahal dah nak sampai umah dah..abang polis jahat!
Baru-baru ni..masa nak gi kenduri kawen ngan member2..aku tersalah jalan.. instead of susur kiri kat traffic light aku dah terbabas straight..disebabkan malas nak buat proper U-turn (sebab dah lewat. huh alasan), aku pun dgn sesuka hati belok je kiri kat traffic light tuh. Nak dijadikan drama..kebetulan ada plak keta JPJ kat depan aku bila dah belok...damn!...pastu diorg pun signal suh pull over..aarghh...aku dah gelabah gile masa tuhhh....abes la..abes! Abg JPJ tu pun menghampiri keta aku...minta lesen, dia tanya tau tak aku dah buat salah ape? Dgn muka bersalah..aku admit ler. Pastu dia siap ugut nak saman aku 300 ringgit. Aku dah nak nanges dah. Aku pun beg abg JPJ itu supaya tidak saman. Abg tu boleh plak kata.."ni kalo saya tak saman ni kena blanje saya minum neh". Member sebelah aku plak selambe jer jawab.."bole..bole, bagi ar no tepon" Cett...aku tgh panic nak mati..dia bleh jawab cmtu plak...rupenye abg JPJ tu menggatal je la kan..Kurang asam!...aku tak suka tul org wat jokes cenggitu..Haiishh..nasib baik ko tu cute. Kalo tak aku dah langgar lari je ko ;P Konklusinya, lega tak kena saman tanpa perlu belanja abg tu. Hihihhi...
Dulu masa aku kat Ireland, ada sorang A+E consultant bagitau..."You're not a good driver until you have had an accident...because then you will learn to be a careful driver". Maybe betul la tu..
Anyway...buckle up dan jgn menyusahkan other drivers. Tolong ler stop kejap kalo ade pedastrian yang nak cross jalan..tak luak pun masa ko seminit dua tu. Cuba kalo ko yang nak cross jalan..tak ke tensen kena tunggu lama2 kat tepi jalan tu dlm kepanasan tapi tade keta pun yang nak bg ko lalu..so...be considerate.

Oh..and I am proud to say that I can drive a manual car..! ;p

Gambar sekadar hiasan.

Eh tak lah...memang kunci keta "sports" gue...hehehe...

Don't sms and drive stupid!

Dead Baby

2010-04-10T19:04:00.000+08:00

Semalam aku kena conduct delivery seorang patient who came with IUD (intrauterine death). Ah ngeri.... Bayang kan perasaan ko kena sambut baby yang dah mati beberapa hari dalam perut. Waa..rasa nk nangis je time tuh. Bila aku pecahkan air ketuban dia...memancut air yang bercampur ngn darah lama...eiiii..geli2, siap terkena tangan aku....wekk! Pastu bila kepala baby dah kuar...uuu...rasa nk nangis sekali lagi..seram ar tgk muka baby tu...dah lebam, kulit pun dah terkoyak2..pastu aku nak pegang leher baby..nk tarik badan keluar ..risau gile nk tarik takut terputus pulak kepala dia...huwaa....masih terbayang2 dlm otak aku...seram2. Bila badan dia keluar jer..memancut air ketuban keluar..arghhh..aku terkejut..menjerit terus kt situ...yang paling aku tak sanggup tu time nak angkat baby tu letak atas kertas.....huwaaaaa..rase nk nangis lagi..tak sanggup aku nak tgk baby tu....lembik tak bernyawa.........aku memang amik masa nak angkat baby tu, aku cakap kat nurse aku tak boleh..tp nurse kata kena juga sbb memang dah tugas aku...terpaksa la aku angkat juga....waaaaaaaaa
eeeii..sungguh tidak best pengalaman itu... =(

Little Miss Surgeon

2010-04-08T22:08:00.004+08:00

Hola!

Semalam OT day for elective Caesar. Supposedly ada 5 cases je. Aku pulak kena jadi assistant surgeon. FINE...on postcall day...hmm..I thought it was better than looking after labour room. By tengahari patut setel semua. Tup tup...bukan 5....dah jadi 8 caesar sebab ada emergency cases.. Hadoii...mengantuk aku bila dah last2 punya case tu. Kul 5 petang baru selesai. Berapa byk sabun abes duk basuh tangan je...abes kering tangan gue. Hee...tapi best gak sebab semalam dapat close skin...heh..best gak perasaan menjahit kulit orang ni. Terasa cam surgeon plak. (Haahah...kalo Marissa baca mesti dia gelakkan aku,, eleh...close skin pun nak kecoh....ciss...hheehhe...first step beb...lepas ni aku try close uterus plak...pastu perform Caesar). Wah, rasa terujanya nak sampai ke tahap itu.

Sometimes aku terfikir.......eishh, dulu kecik2 tengok kat TV je surgeon buat operation. Now I'm the one wearing the green gown, putting on surgeon's cap...wearing gloves..standing at the operating table, looking inside someone's abdominal cavity....holding scalpel (belum cut orang lagi la). Tapi takdelah nurse tolong lap peluh kat dahi....hahaha..itu sangat poyo...OT sejuk je okey.

Dah banyak kali aku tengok orang bersalin biasa dan juga yang operate. Tapi sampai sekarang...kalau orang tanya..aku prefer bersalin biasa ke nak Caesar...I still have no answer. Hmmm......vaginal delivery cam sakit gileeeeeeeeeee. Aku pun tak tahu camane sakitnya. Hanya orang2 yang pernah bersalin je memahami tahap kesakitan itu. Kadang2 sedap mulut aku je berkata pada patient yang duk meraung-raung kesakitan tuh...."Nak bersalin mmg ler sakit, puan. Nak buat camne, kena la terima". Sorry ye ibu2 mengandung...tapi saya tetap bersimpati dgn anda.....Pesanan kepada anak2, hormatilah ibu anda. Ingat senang nak keluarkan kepala korang yg besar tu?? Jangan nak "besar kepala" plak. Kepada suami2, sila hargai isteri anda yang bersusah payah melahirkan zuriat utk anda. Hebat tau wanita2 mampu menahan sakit bersalin yang maha dasat, kalau lelaki...sure dah surrender awal2. =P

Eiiiihhh..takutnye nak bersalin....saya nak epidural please!

You smoke pig?

2010-04-04T08:17:00.000+08:00

Cigarettes may contain pig blood (Read here)

CIGARETTES may contain traces of pigs' blood, an Australian academic says with a warning that religious groups could find its undisclosed presence "very offensive".

University of Sydney Professor in Public Health Simon Chapman points to recent Dutch research which identified 185 different industrial uses of a pig - including the use of its haemoglobin in cigarette filters.

Prof Chapman said the research offered an insight into the otherwise secretive world of cigarette manufacture, and it was likely to raise concerns for devout Muslims and Jews.

Religious texts at the core of both of these faiths specifically ban the consumption of pork.

"I think that there would be some particularly devout groups who would find the idea that there were pig products in cigarettes to be very offensive," Prof Chapman said today.

"The Jewish community certainly takes these matters extremely seriously and the Islamic community certainly do as well, as would many vegetarians.

"It just puts into hard relief the problem that the tobacco industry is not required to declare the ingredients of cigarettes ... they say 'that's our business' and a trade secret."

The Dutch research found pig haemoglobin - a blood protein - was being used to make cigarette filters more effective at trapping harmful chemicals before they could enter a smoker's lungs.

Prof Chapman said while tobacco companies had moved voluntarily list the contents of their products on their websites, they also noted undisclosed "processing aids ... that are not significantly present in, and do not functionally affect, the finished product".

This catch-all term hid from public view an array of chemicals and other substances used in the making of tobacco products, he said.

At least one cigarette brand sold in Greece was confirmed as using pig haemoglobin in its processes, Prof Chapman said, and the status of smokes sold was unknown.

"If you're a smoker and you're of Islamic or Jewish faith then you'd probably would want to know and there is no way of finding out," Prof Chapman said.

The Sydney office of British American Tobacco Australia was contacted by AAP.

A spokeswoman said a comment would be provided although it was not immediately available.

Balik Kampung/ Bentong Reception

2010-03-14T23:40:00.010+08:00

Alhamdulillah....semalam hari Sabtu telah berlangsungnya majlis menyambut menantu di Bentong, Pahang. I arrived there only on the day around 12:00 noon. Plan awal nak balik malam Sabtu, tapi biasa laa..postcall syndrome...kepenatan yang teramat...balik kerja terus tersembam. Balik kampung tu pun my cousin yang jadi driver..aku sambung tido dlm keta...hehehe...

Dah namanya kenduri perkahwinan adik aku...sedara mara yang jauh2 tu tidaklah mampu menahan diri daripada menanyakan soalan cepumas kepada aku..."Awak bila lagi?"..adehh...cool..cool...aku ok jer. Dalam keadaan aku bekerja sekarang yg nak tgk atap rumah sendiri pun payah...ni pulak nak kawin..makan minum sendiri pun tak terurus...ni nak jaga makan minum anak orang...hmm...bukan dalam masa terdekat lah ye....
Tapi yang bestnya ade member adik aku sangka aku adik pengantin...DIULANGI....adik pengantin. HAHAHAHAHA...terima kasih ye.."akak" memang comel dan kelihatan muda..hihihiiiih...sejuk hati aku.

I miss my late grandma..wished she could have been there :(

ni la rumah arwah nenek yang terchenta..tempat aku membesar

ni adat org Pahang...symbolise cukur jambul..whatever

eh ..MB Pahang pun ada? hehe..thanks Pak Long Nan kerana sudi memeriahkan majlis. (with my nephew, Aqil @ baby bulat!)

"Adik" pengantin lelaki ;p,

How I wish it could have been different
I pray for things to get better
I'm not liking the way I'm living my life each single day
...don't want to pretend I am happy...'cause I'm not
This is killing me inside...
I'm not myself anymore ..
..and I hate that.

Bleerghh

2010-02-17T00:03:00.001+08:00

Hello...

I've nothing to tell. I haven't had much time for other things apart from my job and hospital life. I don't know what is happening to the world nowadays. I'm stuck with my job to the extent that I don't even have time to read news...which sucks really. I hardly see my family members since I started working. Not to mention that I look like hell *sigh....

Too tired physically, emotionally....

I need a lot of sleep.
Bye.

Hey Buddy!

2010-02-11T01:28:00.005+08:00

Hola!

Sorry dah lama tak update. I have just started working in Hospital Serdang in O&G department. Baru Day 2. So, life is a bit...eh, a lot hectic. Apart from that, I love meeting new faces and making friends. I can be too friendly which is so different from my younger self. Haha..I used to be very timid and shy, taking time to warm up to strangers but nowadays, I find myself to be easily making conversation with another person...especially if that person is kind of 'selambe' or 'kepala gila'...memang akan cepat kamceng, tak kira sape, even tak pernah kenal pun sebelum ni. If I met a stranger, I usually wait for that person to start a conversation because from there I can tell how 'selambe' I can be with that person. But sometimes, if there's awkward silence between us, I usually say something first to make both of us at ease.

I appreciate friendship, my friends are dear to me...and I don't "pilih bulu" when it comes to making friends. Anyone can be my friend as long as you don't take advantage of me or backstabbing me. I like getting to know people from various kind of backgrounds because when you are a doctor, you tend to mingle around with doctors. Hahaha...I know people get fed up with us if they hangout with a bunch of doctors because our talks usually involve medical terminologies even if we try to stay away from using them. Sorry lah...memang kami begini, takleh nak lari dari dunia hospital. Kesian gak tengok orang tercengang-cengang dengar kami berborak, agak selfish gak lah. Hihihi..anyway, I once wished I have a friend working as a mechanic. Now, I know a mechanic I can trust or ask for help if I need one (even if his workshop is a bit far away from my place). Hihihii...takpe, saya sanggup datang. Che Din rocks! Terima kasih kerana byk tolong dan tak berkira sangat. Walaupun suka buat lawak sarcastic tapi takpe...saya terhibur..hadoii..pedih2

It's already 1:12, time for bed. Have to get up early nowadays, kalau tak punch card merah... :(

Till next time, bye...

'We have to beg our patients to urinate'

Housemen
Jan 27, 10
5:42pm

I refer to the Malaysiakini report 'Housemen not over-worked in hospitals'.

I am a house officer working at a state general hospital. I thank your readers for all the responses and comments. We really feel appreciated. Many, or shall I say, all the responses were against our health director-general.

I would like to emphasise here that this is not a housemen vs DG issue. It's about understanding a houseman's life. Our DG gave his view based on the feedback he gets. And I believe it;s true that until now he has yet to receive any formal complaint from a houseman or even an ex-houseman who is still in government service.

Why? One obvious reason, it is the PTK . Our yearly 'penilaian tahap kecekapan' is signed by our head of department, verified by the hospital's director Pengarah and evaluated by the ministry. So I don't think any government service doctors who are in their right mind will ever lodge a formal complaint.

I do appreciate my DG's call to us , saying that we can always come to him on any problem. But Tan Sri, I daresay you will never will hear anything from us. That's the reason I am writing this letter anonymously to Malaysiakini. com.

Now let's have a look at the issue. Are housemen overworked? I will pen down my view as a house officer, and let you judge. As a houseman, we start our day at work at 6.30 or 7am. And we thereafter have no breakfast or lunch break. At some hospitals, housemen shouldn't be seen at the hospital canteens.

As a health service provider, Malaysian government hospitals give top class service. We will see our patients three times a day via our official 'rounds'. Meaning we will be following and presenting our patients to our bosses three times a day. First at 8am, then 3pm and 8pm.

And its our responsibility to know our patients well prior to the official rounds and to get all the necessary 'jobs' done after the official rounds and be prepared with everything for the next round. We even need to beg our patients to pass urine, bottle it, run to the lab and get the results printed. Don't be shocked, but this is what we are doing and are expected to do.

So we will be done with our work earliest by 6pm in some of the departments. But there are some departments which still demand us to work till 12 midnight. Personally, I don't complain about this because I and many others take this as an opportunity given to us to learn.

But trust me - not many can bear this pressure and they break down. And many fail to give their optimal service to their patient due to exhaustion.

As for the on call scenario, life starts as usual at 6.30am and we will perform our routine responsibilities in addition to fulfilling our on-call duties. This goes on until 7am the next day. And after that, we have to carry on with our normal routines that most of the time extend even until 11 or 12 pm. That is more then 40 hours.

Of course, we get ourselves cleaned, fed and maybe shut our eyes for an hour or so with the mercy of our fellow housemen. But this is 'off the record' and if we ever get caught, we can be considered as 'ponteng' and can be disciplined for that. At least a warning letter or a public humiliation by our bosses.

And for all this, what do we get in return?

• Much lesser pay compared to our counterparts in other countries.

• No weekends off.

• No medical leave. In some departments we must go to work as usual even if we are sick and get ourselves examined by our bosses before getting permission for an MC. Not to mention the hours we have to wait for them.

• Being humiliated by our bosses in front of our patients.

• Getting our tenures extended for three months for minor misdeeds

• Running around doing 'other' people's work. Like those of the ward attendants, staff nurses etc. This because at end of the day, we will be blamed and only we will be blamed if things are not done.

I am writing this letter after 42 straight hours of work, without any sleep and only one meal

p/s: Shit! This is how I will spend my life from now on...well, if only there is life to spend. NO LIFE is more precise. Sob..sob...
Ya Allah! Kurniakan aku ketabahan dan kesabaran.

Nak hidup dalam dunia utopia please,

If I Fell

2010-01-30T12:08:00.011+08:00

I first heard this song performed by Maroon 5 about a year ago. Each time I listen to my IPod (eh? berlagak tiba-tiba, harus ke letak ayat ni? uhuk..uhuk), I will definitely listen to this track. I love the sound of the song and its lyric. I didn't know it was a cover till just now when I googled it. The song was originally sang by The Beatles. Awesome! I love both versions. ('cause I love Adam Levine's (Maroon 5's front man) voice). Compare them yourself !

If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand
'cause I've been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands

If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
From the very start
That you would love me more than her

If I trust in you, oh please
Don't run and hide
If I love you too, oh please
Don't hurt my pride like her
'cause I couldn't stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain

So I hope you see that I
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two
cause I couldn't stand the pain
and I would be sad if our new love was in vain

so I hope you see that I
would love to love you
and that she will cry when she learns we are two.

If I fell in love with you

Memandangkan minggu ni final week sblom start keja, maka haruslah memanfaatkannya sebaik mungkin. Konon-kononnya pagi tadi nak gi buat medical checkup, setelkan mana yang penting dulu. So, ajak mak aku.."jom mama!"..lantas beliau bawak aku gi Klinik Kesihatan Tanglin dekat ngn bangunan KTM nun di ibukota. Keluar rumah dalam pukul 10.15 gitu, sampai2 dah 10.45. Nasib baik pesakit yang menunggu tak ramai, selang 5 minit orang yang jaga kaunter panggil aku tanya apehal? (Kantoi aku nampak dia tengah ngadap laman facebook kat komputer, pastu cepat2 dia tutup. Hah!) Aku bagitau la nak buat medical checkup. Pastu dia kata tak boleh buat kat sini sebab urine test utk test dadah dia tak buat kat klinik kesihatan, kena pegi hospital besar. So, dia suruh la aku gi HKL. Alehaii...jauhlah pulak. Aku cakap kat mak aku gi hospital swasta je la..mak aku tak percaya. Beliau kata mana sah. Aku cakap boleee...beliau tetap juga nak bawak aku gi HKL. Aku bilang, "OK, tak kisah". Waktu itu jam sudah menunjukkan pukul 11 am, jalan dah start jammed kat pusat bandaraya. Kang sampai2 HKL, dah lunch hour plak. Last2 mak aku kata, "Gi Sunway medical centre je laa". Hehe. Aku cakap alang2 dah kat KL ni, gi cari baju utk wedding adik aku la. Kang dah tade masa aku nak shopping dah. So, melilau lah kitorang sekitar Jalan TAR dan Jalan Masjid India cari 2 pasang baju untuk aku. Dipendekkan cerita, akhirnya ketemu apa yang dicari. Yesss!! Setel...tak payah aku nak pening2 kepala pikir apa aku nak pakai untuk wedding Nuar nanti. Sekarang kaki gue sangat lenguh OK! Esok baru gi wat medical checkup. By the way, dapat beli roti kebab raihani yang dekat ngan Kamdar kat Jalan TAR tu. Stall kecik je. (abg2 penjual kebab, saya dah promote ni. Sila beri saya kebab percuma selama setahun please..Hehe) Lama gak tak makan. Pergh, the BEST roti kebab ever in the whole universe! Seriously...memang marvelous rasa dia. Family aku memang dah jadi regular customer diorang setiap kali lalu situ mesti beli sejak aku di bangku sekolah rendah lagi. Bayangkan spot diorg memang tak pernah berubah. Bisnes sure kencang, tak perlu establish kedai. Tapi kalo diorg buat francise cam 1901 tuh mesti lagi dasat. Sapa yang belum pernah rasa tuh, sila lah gi beli.

Debaran nak start keja ni cam sama masa aku nak amik final exam...satu mende aku tak ingat weiii!!!! Arghhh...kena bukak buku. Berdebu dah aku rasa dalam gobok tu. Crash course je la mana yang patut. Dah la tatau lagi posting kat mana (FYI, last day induction baru tau ok. Pastu the following Monday terus start keja). Gila betul. Kelam kabut orang nak packing. Haruskah aku packing siap2? I hate to pack...pasal aku nak bawak seme brg aku. Tapi aku tatau lagi dapat mana. Kalau dekat ngn rumah, tak perlulah nak packing beriya kan. Heheheh...cam serabut je aku neh. Kesimpulannya, aku nervous giler nak start jadi doktor balik. Dub dab..dub dab..

Tamat cite. Sekian.

Bloody Hell

I was chatting with a friend on Friday night when blood donation came up in our conversation. Suddenly it hit me. I wanted to donate my blood since the last time I did was way back in 2002. I had given blood prior to that too. Both were done when I was a student in KDU College. My blood type is O-. Yeah, I'm a universal donor and I know national blood bank is dying to stock my blood. So I checked PDN website to find out their upcoming blood donation drive. Perfect! There was one happening near my place Saturday 10 am - 1pm. So the next day, my cousin, her friend (she half-heartedly agreed to do it after I forced her) and I, we left home and drove through the slow traffic to Kelana Jaya Medical Centre. As we reached there at around 12.15 pm, walked into the hospital and greeted the receptionist, it turned out there was no blood donation drive taking place. Ehh? Strange, I thought. I was confident there should be one. Maybe the receptionist was not informed about it (yea right...). Called my mom and asked her to check PDN website again. Dang! It was not at KJ Medical Centre but KPJ Damansara Specialist Hospital, Damansara Utama. By that time, it was already 12.30pm and looking at the traffic, I decided we wouldn't make it before the drive ends. Aah, I was disappointed (my cousin's friend was relieved). How could I have made such a silly mistake! =P *sigh*. Well, there's always next time.

Speaking of donation, my blood is all that I'm willing to give so far. I've thought about organ donation as well. I know two friends who have already signed themselves up as organ donors. Fuh! My utmost respect for both of you. As for myself, honestly at this very moment I am still hesitant about it. Belum cukup "berani". Maybe someday that will change. What about you?

On the other hand, I've received the letter from KKM calling for induction course in Pasir Mas, Kelantan from 2nd-5th Feb. Jauhnyeeeeee...! Uh, my sweet life is finally coming to an end. Ergh, there are so many things to do next week. Berdebarnya nak tau dapat posting kat hospital mana...hopefully area Lembah Klang. Please let it be...I don't want to be in a strange place alone on my own. It won't be fun at all. T_T

Bye-bye,

To-Do List

2010-01-21T21:26:00.007+08:00

1. Get medical checkup done. A request by SPA before I'm allowed to commence my medical job. Guess what? A urine test for testing drugs is required to be done. Hmm..interesting. I have never had that test done before. I feel like a criminal already. Well! The only drug that's gonna be shown positive is tic tac...Guilty!!

2. Pay a visit to the dentist. It's been ageeeees since the last time I saw one which I could not remember when. Yeah I know, I'm gross. Hey! It's not my fault that I hate to see them. Dentists are scary people okay! =P. I also plan to put on braces in a few months time. I have like a HUGE gap in the middle of my upper teeth that I can spit water through it (Haha.Very funny,Julian.Die die!). Less cute!

3. Get a new pair of glasses and coloured contact lens - grey (meeow!). Why both? I hate putting on lenses because it's fussy and they make my eyes dry. But I do not want to wear glasses all the time because then my eyes will become "sepet" after a while. Ha ha ha. and oh...I hate my current glasses because they make me look like a nerdy teacher.

4. Buy myself dresses for my brother's wedding. Theme colors: Baby blue and gold/brown. Only 1 month and a half left before the big day. Arggh...

5. Decide on car purchase. What car? Mmm...no telling yet.

6. Lastly, for a zillion times, pleeeeease revise OBGy and Paeds Dian!! You don't wanna make a fool of yourself in front of your team later!

p/s: Braces + Glasses + Medical books = I'm a dork

I need a personal manager,

Like A Star

2010-01-19T21:31:00.002+08:00

Ok..I'm feeling mellow right now...

"Like A Star" by Corrine Bailey Rae

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Honour to love you

Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

You've got this look I can't describe,
You make me feel like I'm alive,
When everything else is au fait,
Without a doubt you're on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can't find the words to write this song,
Oh...Your love,

Still I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

Now I have come to understand,
The way it is,
It's not a secret anymore,
'cause we've been through that before,
From tonight I know that you're the only one,
I've been confused and in the dark,
Now I understand,

I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I wont let my guard down,
For anyone but you
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,

Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands

Rainbow After Rain

2010-01-19T07:22:00.009+08:00

Many of us do not realise how blessed we are compared to others who aren't so. Often time myself included. We complaint constantly even over tiny matters. We take a lot of things for granted. We rarely try to understand other than our own selves. We simply put blame on somebody else when things go wrong. When people do things that we don't agree with, we are quick to misjudge or condemn them than trying putting ourselves in their situations. It is easy to say "why did he do that" or "he shouldn't have done this" or "he could've never let that happened" yada yada yada when I bet you that you would have done the same thing if you were in his place. Same goes in any other situations, when you feel like snapping at someone because he didn't do what you expect him to do, I suggest that you to take a step back, take a deep breath, try to understand his situation, justify his action and you'll find yourself losing the anger and be more patient.

Reading other people's suffering or watching it on TV or even witnessing it with my own eyes upsets me. When I listen to people telling me about their miseries, I try to put my feet in their shoes. But having said that, each time I sincerely utter the phrase "I understand how you feel" and while I do really mean it, deep down I know I can never truly understand their feelings even how hard I try to understand them. Yes, I sympathise with them but the fact is no! I don't get how they really feel because I have never gone through what they've been through. How can I understand? You can never understand how the poor feel when you have never been poor or you can never understand the pain of a mother who lost her son in a tragic accident when you are not even a mother. How can you tell how heartbroken a person is to learn that he has incurable cancer when you are the one who broke the bad news? No...I wish I can. My ears and my shoulder are all I can lend them.

How lucky I am in this world living a good life although I've been through some rough times. God is the Most Gracious...He has always been watching over me and has never let me fall deep into that miserable pit of life...and I thank Him for that. I really do. I never regret anything that had happened in the past. It made me who I am today. Whatever happened in the past, there's no way you can turn back time and change a slight bit of it. As much as you want it to, it can never be undone. It may have scarred you for life but dwell not in the past. You'll never find happiness since you will always be haunted by your dark past. Forgive yourself, forgive whoever else in the past, take it as a lesson learned and move on. There are so many great possibilities awaiting you if you are ready to go for them.

I have always held fast to these ayat from Surah Al-Insyirah verses 5 and 6; "So, verily, with each difficulty, there is ease. Verily, with each difficulty there is ease".

There's always rainbow after the rain.

Ekspresi Diriku

2010-01-13T16:15:00.008+08:00

Helluuu....

Memandangkan Yuna telah menunjukkan kehebatannya dengan memenangi naib juara AJL 10 dengan mendendangkan lagu "Dan Sebenarnya"...maka saya pun nak menunjukkan ketidakhebatan saya memetik gitar dan menyumbangkan lagu tersebut. Hihihi....

Sorri lah kalau menyakitkan telinga anda. Saya nyanyi suka2 hati jer...bukan nak masuk Akademi Fantasia pun. Saya praktis main lagu ni selama 3-4 jam jer tadi tapi still hampeh. Hahahahaa! Banyak gile mistakes tapi takpe la, tengok sajee...

(eeiihh...my big fat fingers are so obviously FAT!!!)

p/s: Sila lah kutuk.... =( Malu nak tunjuk muka, takmau upload kat youtube sebab nanti kena maki hamun. huhuhu...

Nota tambahan: Rasa cam nak memiliki gitar baru laa.... *wink wink. Yang tu gitar adik saya. Saya ade gitar kaler hitam tapi satu tali sudah putus....kan best kalau dapat tukar gitar baru yang sangat best. OK, masuk 2010 wishlist. =P

Berhenti menyamakan saya dengan Yuna walaupun saya suka dia,

You Jump, I Err...

2010-01-10T15:41:00.009+08:00

My wildest dream in life is to BUNGEE JUMP. Fuhh...I have always imagined that someday I would be able to let myself free fall off a bridge or cliff. It's a mixed feeling actually. I really really want to do it but at the same time I don't know if I have the guts to make the jump. I'd probably just stand there on the platform, unable to move an inch regretting myself unless someone pushes me from behind then I would fall thinking OMG...OMG...this is it. I'm gonna die. My heart would stop beating for seconds but seems forever, the brain freezes, no sound would come out of my mouth even though I desperately want to scream my lungs out. Then, I just can't wait for the cord to pull me back and wish it will not failed on me. When it does, that's the moment I would be most thankful to God for letting me to be alive and not let my head got smashed on the rocks or dunk into the water. And I bet that is the moment when I would get the euphoric rush...the exhilarating feeling that no words can describe. Haaaa~.....just thinking about it makes me shiver with both fear and excitement.

If I ever succeed to convince myself to bungee jump one day, I would pay the ultimate respect to myself because honestly, I'd most likely chicken out than make the jump. =P

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~!!!!!

p/s: Wa tabik spring kat sesape yang pernah buat. Serius kagum! Korang memang berani mati lah.

Terjun katil jer la,

What's up Doc! I'm sick

2010-01-05T16:34:00.028+08:00

Good day peeps, I hope you are in good health.

Today I want to speak about Malaysian attitude towards looking after their own health. Most of us rather suffer at home waiting for death to invite us (okay, exaggerating) than to seek medical attention when we fall sick. I'm not talking about catching a cold or having small cough or feeling a little feverish (although considering the current H1N1 pandemic, these symptoms may be alarming). I'm talking about for instance, passing blood while urinating for 3 weeks (true story) and still do nothing about it. Oh c'mon! How many more symptoms do you wish to witness before you finally drag yourself to see a doctor? Burst bladder? or..swollen abdomen? (You won't believe how many much worse conditions some people are willing to endure than to get proper treatment. I don't know what they are thinking *sigh)

Why is it so hard for some to seek medical attention when they actually need to? Terrified of doctors? Worried of the possibility to be operated or undergoing some other painful procedures? Don't want to be kept in hospital? The nurses are not pretty and mean? (eh, aku anti-nurse ke?) Stop making excuses. Enough being childish. If it means that you have to be operated in order to get better then rest assure that it's all for your own sake. We don't operate people simply for pleasure or to kill time. We doctors are not maniacs with knives. Seriously. We're the healers. And don't tell me, "Ah, okay what if I don't go to the hospital ...less work for doctors. It's not that bad anyway". No. You see... the earlier you come to see us, the easier our jobs would be. A simple condition needs only a simple treatment. Instead if you get to us when your condition has gotten worse then you're just a pain in the a**. Oh trust me, we prefer to treat you with a course of antibiotics rather than to put you on the operating table or poke you everywhere.

Unlike Westerners, Malaysians tend to self-diagnose themselves and then deal with it their own way than to ask for expert opinion. Yes, sometimes when patients come with petty complaints I feel like.."Eerrghh gimme a break, it's only a tiny mole on the chest...it does not look nasty at all, you don't have to get it biopsied or removed", but hey, that's okay...they have the right to do so. It maybe a harmless simple benign mole but it might also be cancerous. Precaution is better than cure. Better safe than sorry.

Be more responsible towards your body. A healthy body is precious. Anything unusual that happens to your body is a sign that there's something wrong going on inside. It is your job to acknowledge that and look for help to make it right again. Do not just wait around and hope for it to go away on its own. Sometimes it does but more often it doesn't. So, why take the risk?

Come visit us when you're feeling unwell okay? We love seeing sickies (actually we don't...Ha Ha). By the way, lead a healthy lifestyle aye! Oh, and please don't barge in the A&E door with runny nose that has been going on for only 2 hours or small cut on your leg unless you are dying. Go to a clinic instead if you're really that worried. A&E stands for ACCIDENTS and EMERGENCIES only okay, you non-medical people!

Hahaha..funny like hell. My favorite cartoon. Never once failed to make me laugh.

Your friendly unemployed doctor, :)
Dr.

Entry Cincai

2010-01-04T20:33:00.002+08:00

2-3 ari ni saya tiada mood untuk menulis. Idea ada tapi tiada mood untuk menulis. Mengapa tiada mood untuk menulis? Saya pun tidak tahu. Mungkin Hari Kemalasan Sedunia telah melanda. Tapi takpe lah, saya tulis sikit ye untuk pembaca-pembaca setiaku (ceh, perasan).

Uh...semalam saya telah cuba untuk menukar layout blog saya untuk mencari kelainan dan bersempena Tahun Baru 2010. Malangnya apabila saya berbuat demikian, blog ini telah menjadi tunggang langgang semacam dilanggar todak. Oleh itu saya telah membuat keputusan untuk tidak menukar layout blog ini buat seketika waktu sehingga saya tahu bagaimana mahu menukarnya tanpa menunggang-langgangkannya..(Hoh, WTF?).

Pada hari Jumaat ini, saya akan ditemuduga oleh SPA di bangunan SPA Putrajaya sebagai formaliti sebelum dapat memulakan tugas sebagai doktor. Tidaaaaaaaaaaaaak, tak suka interviews. Walaupun tidak akan memberi kesan kepada tawaran kerja yg akan saya perolehi, tetapi saya perlu juga bersedia supaya tidak kelihatan bodoh di hadapan mereka. Haiishh..siapa nama Menteri Kesihatan Malaysia pun saya tatau. Huhuhu ;p. Tu belum kena tanya soalan H1N1 lagi...Malaria, Denggi, Diabetes, kot putih, rukun negara, isu semasa etc etc..banyak nye saya sudah tidak ingat fakta. Mari mengulangkaji pelajaran.

Ok dah, saya kata awal2 tadi nak tulis sikit je kan? Tamat.

Budak malas tapi comel,

Hello 2010

2010-01-01T02:18:00.012+08:00

Dear all,

It's 01-01-2010. Happy New Year!! May it be a year full of joy for each and everyone of you =)

Brand new me (err well...same old me only better, insyaAllah),

SMOKING is not HOT [Part 2]

2009-12-31T11:01:00.016+08:00

Lagi sebab2 kenapa anda MESTI berhenti merokok

Apabila anda merokok, anda sebenarnya seorang pembunuh! Huh? Ketika anda merokok di hadapan awek/kekasih gelap anda sewaktu berdating, bukan saja anda memperoleh dosa kerana keluar berdua-duaan +/- curang terhadap isteri anda malahan anda juga cuba membunuh awek/kekasih gelap anda secara halus dengan membiarkan dia menghirup asap rokok (secondhand smoke) anda. Itu baru awek anda, belum lagi isteri dan anak2 anda jika dengan tidak bertimbang rasanya anda merokok di dalam rumah. Tahukah anda, akibat menghirup secondhand smoke secara berterusan, mereka juga boleh menghidap penyakit2 yang sama seperti yang boleh berlaku ke atas perokok? Anda memang makhluk penyayang! Teruskan.

Selain melipat-gandakan kedut di muka, rokok mencantikkan barisan gigi anda dengan menukar warna aslinya kepada rona kuning kekaratan. So trendy! Bukan itu sahaja, ada bonus lagi apabila bau mulut anda juga wangi sedikit saja daripada bau longkang. Bau badan toksah cakap lah. Unta kalau lalu sebelah anda, mau beliau muntah hijau 5-8 kali. Kesimpulannya, uweekk!

Baiklah, sekarang saya akan menerangkan kepada anda tentang penyakit2 yang sangat berkait rapat dengan gejala merokok. Kalau anda kurang bernasib baik, anda berpeluang menghidapi penyakit yang tiada ubat..iaitu MATI. Tamatlah kisah anda dan rokok di saat itu. Tetapi jika anda bernasib baik pula, anda bakal memperoleh penyakit jantung atau strok atau kanser paru2 atau COPD (chronic bronchitis atau emphysema) atau kanser mulut sahaja (ada byk lagi lain-lain penyakit). No big deal. Sebagai contoh, jika anda mendapat serangan sakit jantung, ianya seperti seekor gajah memijak dada anda atau seperti seseorang memerah jantung anda sebagaimana memerah limau nipis. Argghhh..tak sakit pun. Atau jika anda menghidap COPD, anda hanya akan semput sepanjang masa dan lama-kelamaan anda hanya perlu mengheret tong gas oksigen ke mana sahaja anda pergi seolah sahabat karib anda sebagai bekalan untuk anda bernafas.

Oh, ini ada satu fakta menarik tentang merokok. Merokok boleh menyebabkan kemandulan bagi lelaki dan wanita. Saya hendak memberi penekanan hal ini kepada lelaki kerana kebanyakan perokok adalah dari golongan ini. Tahukah anda, rokok menjadikan sperma anda tidak power seperti sepatutnya? Ah, anda pasti tidak mahu perkara ini terjadi kepada anda. Nanti tercabar pula EGO anda jika tidak mampu membuntingkan isteri sendiri (sila jgn buntingkan anak dara yg belum dinikahi atau isteri orang lain. Nanti ada kemungkinan anda masuk neraka). Merokok juga boleh menyebabkan "erectile dysfunction" atau mati pucuk. Yang ini tidak perlu saya ulas kerana saya pasti anda lebih faham daripada saya. Lagilah anda tidak mahu ia berlaku bukan?

Cukuplah saya menakut-nakutkan anda dengan kenyatan2 di atas (kalau anda takutlah. Kalau tidak takut, anda memang dari spesis jin). Kini timbul keinsafan di dalam diri anda untuk berhenti merokok maka anda pun menanam azam sempena kedatangan Tahun Baru 2010. Tahniah dan syabas saya ucapkan kerana mengambil langkah bijak untuk mengatakan TAK NAK kepada rokok buat selama-lamanya! Teruskan membaca untuk mengetahui bagaimanakah caranya anda boleh merealisasikan impian ini.

Sebelum itu, biar saya beritahu anda kebaikan berhenti merokok. Selain dapat menghindarkan diri daripada semua perkara yang telah saya sebutkan di atas, kesan positif berhenti merokok juga amat pantas. Dalam masa 20 minit selepas anda berhenti, tekanan darah dan degupan jantung anda akan kembali normal. Selepas 12 jam, paras karbon dioksida dan nikotin dalam darah anda akan berkurang sebanyak separuh. Selepas 24 jam pula, paras oksigen dalam darah anda akan kembali normal dan risiko serangan sakit jantung akan menurun. Bagus bukan? Oleh itu, berhenti merokok sekarang kerana bilamana anda mula ditimpa penyakit, segalanya sudah terlambat. Penyesalan tidak lagi berguna.

10 Tips untuk berhenti merokok

Saya sangat2 faham bahawa bukan mudah untuk berhenti merokok. Bukan anda tidak mahu berhenti, tetapi amat sukar mengawal keinginan untuk merokok akibat ketagihan nikotin yang lebih superior dari kehendak hati. Benar? Akan tetapi, tiada yang mustahil di dunia ini. If there's a will, there's always a way. Dan saya akan tunjukkan jalannya. Tinggal saja anda mahu menurutinya atau tidak.

Setiap amal bermula dengan niat. Maka, anda harus pasang niat berhenti merokok terlebih dahulu. Tetapkan dalam hati dan minda sebab apa anda mahu berhenti merokok.
Anda harus berhati waja bermula saat ini. Jangan mudah mengalah! Harus kuat tatkala diuji dengan withdrawal symptoms. Dapatkan sokongan orang2 yg rapat dengan anda sama ada keluarga mahupun rakan2. Anda tidak akan mampu melakukannya seorang diri.
Anda PERLU dapatkan bantuan doktor atau pergi ke Klinik Berhenti Merokok. Dari situ, mereka akan membantu anda dengan ubat2an, rawatan lain atau kaunseling. (Saya tidak mahu menyentuh soal teknikal di sini).
Print poster di atas besar2 dan tampal dalam bilik anda, di tempat di mana bilamana anda bangun saja dari tidur yang pertama2 anda lihat adalah poster ini. Boleh juga ditampal di ruang tamu, peti ais, pintu rumah, dalam kenderaan malah di dalam wallet anda sekalipun sebagai peringatan bila diasak bertubi2 oleh perasaan ketagih utk merokok. Jadikan sebagai wallpaper PC anda juga agak menarik. Boleh juga gantikan dengan wajah bengis bapa atau ibu anda agar menimbulkan rasa lebih gerun untuk merokok.
Sangat sukar untuk berhenti merokok serta merta (quit cold turkey). Kalau anda berjaya, saya tabik spring pada anda! Petua saya (tak tahu lah berkesan ke tak, apa kata anda cuba untuk mengetahui keberkesanannya?). Jangan merokok untuk 40 hari berturut2. Saya rasa selepas itu anda pasti mampu melupakan rokok utk seumur hidup. Jika tidak, anda boleh mengurangkan bilangan rokok secara berperingkat. Tetapkan target anda untuk hari, minggu dan bulan. Bawa jumlah rokok yang telah ditetapkan sahaja dalam poket anda, sorok jauh2 rokok yang lain. Jangan minta daripada kawan atau beli rokok baru apabila kehabisan.
Kuarantin diri anda daripada perokok-perokok lain kerana mereka hanya akan mengheret anda kembali ke arena perokokan. Lebih elok lagi jika anda mengajak sahabat2 anda untuk sama2 berhenti merokok
Beri ganjaran pada diri sendiri menggunakan duit yang sepatutnya digunakan utk membeli rokok atau paksa orang lain beri ganjaran pada anda apabila anda berjaya mencapai target. Begini anda akan lebih bermotivasi untuk merancakkan usaha.
Kunyah mint atau gula-gula atau daun sireh atau kayu sugi untuk menggantikan rokok apabila keinginan merokok menjelma.
Pastikan anda banyak minum air, makan buah2an, bersenam dan tidur secukupnya agar badan anda dapat menyahkan toksin2 dalam badan dengan kadar optimum.
Jangan lupa untuk berdoa kepada Tuhan supaya memberi anda kekuatan dan membantu anda berhenti merokok.

Nota tambahan: Kepada pembaca yang bergelar ibu bapa, anak2 harus dididik untuk membenci rokok sedari kecil supaya apabila meningkat dewasa mereka akan mempunyai jati diri yang utuh dan tidak akan mudah terikut2 dgn hasutan syaitan dan rakan2 mereka yang dari spesis jin ini.

Saya berharap tips2 yang diberikan dapat membantu anda sedikit sebanyak dalam usaha untuk mengucapkan sayonara kepada rokok. Saya yakin anda mampu melakukannya. Jangan cepat berputus asa! Usaha tangga kejayaan =). Akhir kata, CIGARETTES KILL!!!

SMOKING is not HOT [Part 1]

2009-12-29T08:37:00.019+08:00

Hari ini saya ingin menyentuh isu tabiat merokok yang berleluasa di Malaysia dan seantero dunia. Sebagai seorang doktor, tidak boleh tidak pasti akan memperkatakan mengenai topik yang berkisar tentang kesihatan. Sekadar melunaskan tanggungjawab berkongsi ilmu yang diarifi (Sebab sebenar ialah kerana mahu tunjuk pandai). Saya berharap tidak ada di kalangan pembaca blog ini yang merupakan perokok kasual mahupun perokok tegar. Jikalau ada, ketahuilah bahawa anda sebenarnya tergolong dalam spesis jin. (Hoh!)

Melalui pengamatan saya, perokok merupakan makhluk yang amat degil. Agaknya kerana sudah terikut-ikut peel jin disebabkan terlalu banyak menelan asap rokok mungkin (Jangan maraahhh bang!). Bukan degil apa, degil tak mahu berhenti merokok. Saya pasti sudah berbuih-buih mulut seperti terkena sawan orang-orang tersayang di sekeliling anda menasihati dan membebel kepada anda supaya berhenti merokok.

Kenapa anda MESTI berhenti merokok?

Pertama-tama kerana telah banyak fatwa (lebih 400) dikeluarkan yang mensabitkan hukum merokok adalah HARAM...saya ulang MEROKOK ADALAH HARAM. Maka kamu pun akui bahawa perkara haram itu mendatangkan DOSA. Mengapa kamu seakan tidak sedih menambah mata ke dalam akaun dosa kamu setiap hari hanya kerana menghisap batang-batang rokok? Tidakkah kamu takut akan timbangan amal kamu di akhirat kelak? Tak usahlah kamu menjadi makhluk yang degil. Berhentilah merokok sebelum kamu bertukar menjadi mayat. (Hih, cam ayat blogger hamka. Pinjam ek!)

Saya percaya para perokok sekalian tahu benar risiko-risiko kesihatan yang boleh berlaku ke atas diri mereka akibat merokok. Tetapi, mengapa mereka seolah-olah membutakan mata, menulikan telinga terhadap pengetahuan ini. Mengapa agaknya? Fenomena ini dinamakan "Smoker's Denial". Mereka tidak mempedulikan amaran-amaran ini dan tidak ingin memikirkannya kerana tidak mahu merasa bersalah dan takut apabila meneruskan kegiatan merokok. Mereka mungkin mengenali orang perseorangan yang telah berpuluh-puluh tahun merokok tetapi hidup sihat wal'afiat tanpa sebarang penyakit. Alhamdulillah. Maka mereka berharap dan berdoa sungguh-sungguh kepada Tuhan agar dikurniakan kesihatan yang baik seperti individu itu. Iya, memang benar ada orang yang bernasib baik seperti perokok-perokok sihat itu akan tetapi jumlahnya amat sedikit. Tahukah anda bahawasanya lebih ramai perokok yang merana kerana penyakit dan seterusnya mati? Setiap 6 saat, seseorang mati akibat rokok atau penyakit yang disebabkan oleh merokok. Ah..pasti ada orang berkata, "Ajalnya memang sudah tiba, penyakit akibat rokok itu hanyalah asbab kematian". Bijaknya anda! Apakah jika saya menyuruh anda berdiri di atas landasan keretapi dan menunggu dilanggar besi bergerak itu dan mengatakan kepada anda "apa nak takut, kalau belum ajal pasti selamat insyaAllah"...anda mahu melakukannya? Jika anda mengatakan ya, tahniah! Iman anda memang EXCELLENT.

Anda juga pasti pura-pura tidak tahu bahawa sebatang rokok mengandungi lebih 4000 bahan kimia dan lebih 250 daripadanya adalah toksik dan boleh menyebabkan kanser. Tahniah saya ucapkan kerana anda memang hebat dan berani mati! Kenapa tidak meminum racun rumput terus?

Anda merasakan diri anda kelihatan sungguh cool di hadapan wanita-wanita (bagi perokok lelaki) tatkala menghembuskan asap2 putih ke udara? Oh, tidak langsung. Lagi menyampah ada. Macam naga yang hodoh. Hanya perempuan tidak berotak saja yang akan memuji anda cool. Sila jauhkan diri anda daripada saya jika anda memasang niat untuk menyalakan rokok. Kalau tidak, saya akan sumbat mulut anda ke dalam ekzos kereta, sedutlah asap puas-puas. Kepada perokok wanita pula, lagilah meluat melihat anda merokok. Bakal mak mentua kalau dapat tahu anda merokok, silap-silap dia kensel kahwinkan anda dengan anak bujangnya. Yang lengkap berbaju kurung bertudung pun ada yang merokok. Aduss...lu pikirlah sendiri kalau lu ada otak!

to be continued......(otak saya dah penat)

Kebaikan merokok

Merokok juga ada kebaikan. Tertanya-tanyakah anda apa kebaikannya? Mari saya kongsikan satu rahsia. Merokok membuatkan anda awet muda. Wah! Suka kan? Tentulah, kerana anda tidak sempat tua apabila mati muda angkara rokok. Oops! hehehe... Tahukah anda merokok memendekkan umur anda sebanyak 10 tahun. Rokok juga menambahkan kedut2 di wajah hensem anda. Isk...! Jatuh saham.

Di samping itu, merokok meningkatkan ekonomi syarikat2 pengeluar rokok. Maka tersenyum lebarlah bos-bos besar tatkala bersukaria di kepulauan2 indah di seluruh dunia. Terima kasih kepada anda kerana membiayai percutian mewah mereka dengan menjadi pelanggan setia produk syarikat mereka. Apalah sangat RM 6.40 untuk sekotak rokok (pek 20 batang) ye tak? Setahun baru dapat save ~2k je. Tak berbaloi nak berkira. Kerana rokok dan bos-bos syarikat rokok tersayang, aku sanggup menghabiskan wang gajiku, katamu.

Assalamua'laikum pembaca-pembaca yang dikasihi semua. Hari ini saya ingin membawa anda menyelusuri dilema percintaan seorang gadis yang menggelarkan dirinya Honey Bunny. Kisah yang begitu menyayat hati ini diharap dapat memberi iktibar kepada pembaca sekalian. Permasalahan gadis malang ini akan cuba dirungkaikan oleh kauselor kita, Sri Dian yang akan menjawab di dalam bahasa penjajah Inggeris kerana beliau tidak fasih berbahasa Melayu. Katanya, "I sound stupid if I write in BM". (ahaks..tak sedar diri dia ni)

Kasih dua darjat (dipetik dari Harian Metro kolum Dang Suria)

SAYA berumur 27 tahun dan belum berkahwin. Saya mempunyai kerjaya stabil (dengan ijazah yang saya miliki), ada kereta dan rumah sendiri. Kini saya menanggung kedua-dua orang tua kerana mereka tinggal bersama saya. Dua abang saya sudah berkahwin dan tinggal berasingan. Abah saya pula diserang penyakit angin ahmar setahun lalu dan kini dia tidak bekerja. Saya dan emak bersama-sama menjaganya di rumah. Saya mempunyai teman lelaki, namun tahap pendidikan dan cara kami dibesarkan jauh berbeza. Dia berumur 28 tahun dan tidak lulus SPM mahupun PMR kerana berhenti sekolah pada umur 15 tahun. Dia bekerja sebagai pemandu lori. Saya sudah dua tahun berkawan dengannya dan tidak kisah langsung mengenai tahap pendidikan mahupun kerjanya sebagai pemandu lori. Saya cuma pentingkan hati dan cara dia berfikir mengenai masa depan kerana itu yang lebih penting pada saya. Tidak dapat nafikan, saya melakukan banyak kesalahan ketika zaman remaja dan begitu juga dia.

Namun pada saya, yang berlalu biar berlalu dan tak perlu dikenang. Yang penting, kita mahu berubah dan saya sudah berubah, tetapi tidak bagi dia. Dia terlalu memikirkan kisah lama dan menghukum saya dengan mengongkong kehidupan saya. Hinggakan saya keluar dengan ibu bapa saya pun dia mahu dengar suara mereka bercakap-cakap, sebagai bukti saya tidak menipu. Bila saya sampai ke pejabat, dia mahu saya menelefon dia menggunakan telefon pejabat sebagai bukti saya pergi kerja. Saya semakin rimas dengan kehendaknya kerana dia menganggap saya perempuan jahat. Saya kini banyak habiskan masa dengan ibu bapa dan jarang keluar bersama kawan seperti dulu, namun dia tidak percaya. Dia seperti tidak boleh mempercayai sesiapa pun di dalam dunia ini. Dia juga terlalu memikirkan jika saya jadi isterinya kelak, dia takut saya tidak puas daripada segi zahir dan batin kemudian curang dan meninggalkannya. Saya lihat dia tiada langsung keyakinan sama ada terhadap diri sendiri mahupun pada orang lain.

Kini timbul masalah lain kerana dia tiada kerja tetap. Saya berulang kali menasihati dia supaya bekerja dan kumpul duit kerana duit simpanan yang ada akan susut. Masalahnya, dia seperti tidak bersungguh-sungguh mencari kerja tapi hanya ingin berkepit dengan saya. Saya mula tidak puas hati dan ambil keputusan tidak mahu berjumpa dia selalu. Lagipun, bila keluar bersama, dia hanya nak gunakan kereta saya. Saya cuma ingin mengajar dia supaya jangan terlalu memikirkan yang saya ini curang, tapi fikirkan masa depan kami. Sampai bila mahu bercinta dan buat dosa saja. Namun dia tidak terima teguran saya. Dia kata saya kemaruk nak berkahwin dan hanya suka padanya ketika dia senang.Kini dia putuskan hubungan dengan saya. Mungkin kerana dia anggap saya ingin mengatur kehidupan dia. Untuk pengetahuan Dang Setia, ibu dan kakaknya selalu hilang sabar dengan perangai dia yang sering berhenti kerja.

Saya kecewa dengan perpisahan ini tetapi saya tahu pasti ada hikmahnya Allah tak jodohkan saya dengan dia. Apapun, jika dia mahu berbaik semula dengan saya kembali, apa perlu saya buat?

HONEY BUNNY

Dear Arnab Madu,

OII WOMAN! You've got to be kidding me?! Are you feckin' blind or just plain stupid?? You're still considering taking him back into your life after he dumped you and proved you he worth nothing?? Goodness gracious. Why are women so dumb except few when it comes to men and relationships? I know no rocket science but I certainly do know how to use my brain. Men are dumb too but I don't want to talk about them.

Okay, back to the case study. Let me offer you, Arnab Madu my advice since clearly you cannot think straight because either you have lost your mind or perhaps your brain has ceased its function because the neurones have died due to the lack of use. We will break down the problems one by one.

First of all, I've no idea how you've managed to obtain your degree without using your brain, but somehow you managed to get it. Congratulations. You have a good job as well I believe. Now, let us compare you with your ex-boyfriend. He's a school dropout at 15, and works as a lorry driver. Although I do not deny that anyone can be successful despite the fact that you did not finished high school or college or you flunked your "life-deciding" exams. In fact, there are many well-known school/college dropouts that became millionaires like Walt Disney, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Johnny Depp (just to name a few). However, it only happened because they have extraordinary talents, total dedication, unwavering perseverance and they worked really hard to become what they are today. Now, ask your ex whether he has all these qualities to succeed? He's now almost 30, has no stable job, has taken no effort to improve his life and feels insecure about himself. Nay, I doubt it.

Aww...isn't it sweet when you said you don't mind him having less education and less job standard than what you have? Oooh~ sweet my a**!! See if you still don't mind once he could not afford to pay the bills and buy you stuff, and instead you have to use your own money to support him. Well, I'll cut off two of my fingers (you choose) if you can still put a smile on your face during those "happy days". Wake up you numbnuts!! Take my words, be realistic.

Secondly, read this sentence carefully and stick it into your tiny brain. YOUR EX-BOYFRIEND IS A CONTROL FREAK. All those things (mahu dgr suara ibu bapa, call guna office phone) he asked you to do are totally unacceptable. He obviously does not trust you a tiny bit! He's a paranoid. What makes you think that he will change after you both get married? I'll bet you he'll turn into an abusive monster too. Stay away from him while you can. Yah, yah...they say people can change but mostly don't. So better safe than sorry.

Yes, you should be thankful because he dumped you. Don't be sorry about it. It shows that God is protecting you from this no good creature and wants you to be happy. You deserve better. Although there is a lot of jerks out there, I also know that there are many good-and-worth-to-keep men too (Now guys, I'm being positive here. Don't let me down and force me to change my mind to ALL MEN ARE JERKS).

Last but certainly not the least, to all women out there, don't let other people destroy your life. Don't let emotion overrules your better judgement alright? Be smart, ladies. Love yourself first.

SRI DIAN

p/s: Amacam? Bole jadi kaunselor tak bertauliah tak? Haha..tau la pengirim surat tu takkan baca apa yang aku tulis ni. Kalau dia baca, sure menangis leleh2 air hingus berterima kasih kat aku sebab telah menyedarkan dia dari lamunan panjang dan menyebabkan otak beliau aktif kembali. Ke dia menyumpah maki aku? Ahh lantak laa...dia yang bermasalah. Aku cuba nak menolong je. Hehehehe. ;p (Orang lain sila amik iktibar ok?)

Editor Surat Khabar Lama,

What's cookin'?

2009-12-24T23:00:00.020+08:00

Sudah agak lama tidak melakukan penambahan entry di bawah label "chic stuff". Makanya, kupersembahkan kini di sini.

Adik perempuan ku yang baru selesai SPM itu sedang berjinak-jinak dengan arena pemasakan. (Baru nak belajar memasak la tu. Potong bawang je dah leleh2 air mata =P). Aku dulu awal sikit belajar memasak drpd dia...dalam umur 15 tahun kalau tak silap. Kalau main masak-masak tu lagi awal...ketika berumur 6-7 tahun - masak pasir, daun-daun, bunga, biawak (eh, acah je) dalam periuk. Ok what?! He he he...Bukan susah pun ye tak masak-masak ni. Bullshit la kalau ada orang kata dia takde talent dalam bab masak-memasak ni. Kalau ada perempuan yang claim dia tak tau masak tu, maknanya bukan dia takde talent tapi sebab dia tak pernah masuk dapur langsung (not literally la..of course mesti pernah masuk dapur cuci tangan, bukak peti ais, amik pinggan). Tapi maksudku adalah dia tak pernah langsung cuba-cuba belajar masak. Ha...kalau korang tak percaya..cubalah tanya mana2 sahabat perempuan korang yang tak reti masak. Dari pengamatan mata aku yang rabun ni (Aisshh, nak beli contact lens kaler kelabu tahi anjing supaya kelihatan seperti menghidap katarak bak kata si Mazni..hahaha..cis Mazni! tak lawak hokeh..Grrr..eh!sorry melalut) diorang ni samada anak orang2 berada, atau bersekolah di sekolah berasrama penuh pastu masuk U pun duk kat asrama juga di mana ada kafe bersebelahan atau memang dasar pemalas @ manja. Budak-budak yang belajar overseas pula insyaAllah memiliki skill memasak termasuklah tuan empunya diri (he he). Sebabnya...nak tak nak terpaksarela la kan masak. Takkan nak makan fish & chips atau piza segera atau sandwich hari-hari...mau lupa asal usul.

Bagi aku, memasak tidak memerlukan talent..yang penting tahu basic and it's all about practice, practice and practice. Trial and error. Seperti memandu kereta atau bermain gitar. Nak kata aku terer sangat memasak...tak jugak. Tapi setakat nak mengenyangkan (eh, berhenti makan sblum kenyang ye) orang yang sedang kelaparan dan tidak menyebabkan mereka hendak muntah atau mengalami episod cirit birit bertubi-tubi kira-kira 4 jam selepas itu...it's a piece of cake bebeh! (wah riak!). No seriously tak lah sehebat tukang masak kedai makan..hmm..tak hebat langsung pun. Masak yang simple-simple bley laa. Resepi feveret saya:- resepi campak-campak sesuka hati janji sodap dimakan...kakakaka...saya memasak dengan menggunakan instinct dan kasih sayang. Kui3...tak main la rujuk2 buku resepi, sukat2 ni. Adakah talent yang memainkan peranan di sini atau sekadar pengalaman yang mematangkan? Lu pikir la sendiri!! (Erk, ni ayat Nabil) hihihi..

Ah sudah lah. Berhenti menulis. Entry ini semacam tiada manfaat. Tetapi kepada anak-anak dara di luar sana, silalah belajar memasak ye. Ianya amat penting untuk kelangsungan dan kebahagiaan hidup anda dan perut suami anda kelak yang bakal boroi.(Letak nasihat supaya entry kelihatan mempunyai manfaat). =D

Sekian, wassalam. Selamat memasak! Jangan sampai hangus!

Pakar makan @ Gastronomist,

Talk like an Irishman

2009-12-24T00:55:00.007+08:00

Dia duit! (= Hello! Pronouced as Deeya vwet).

Tonight I will share with you some phrases/ slang terms that the Irish love to use. To begin with, the Irish people are big fan of the 'F' word. They use it a lot. I mean...a LOT lot! But I never got offended by that particular word, although they usually do apologise when it slipped off their tongues. More below:

Grand = good/ fine e.g. That's grand/ You'll be grand

Pet = dear e.g. Yes, pet/ Hey pet!

Chicken = also has the same meaning as Pet. Used more in the mid-region e.g. Hi there chicken! (The first time someone said this to me...I was like; "Haduuii..bila masa la pulak aku mutate jadi ayam ni"...hehehe~ selamba ayam jer dia panggil aku ayam).

What's the craic/crack = what's up/ what's going on/ what's new?
craic is an Irish word, it also refers to good times/ fun/ enjoyment (generally alcohol related) e.g Last night was great craic.

The Irish rarely use the term "Cool" or "Great". But rather they use "Brilliant" or "Good stuff" or "Class".

Fair play = Another form of saying 'good job' e.g. That's a great idea, fair play to you man.

Lad(s) = guy(s) e.g. Well done, lads!

Wee = little/tiny. Used widely in the north region e.g. I'll have a wee bit of that curry.

Dinner means lunch. Yeah! I sometimes get confused too. Errr...I am not sure what they called dinner then. Evening meal I guess...

Ye = you e.g. Ye rock!!! We love ye!

Mam/ mammy = mom/ mother

Cheers = usually spoken when parting instead of goodbye. Also means thanks e.g. Cheers mate!

The Irish also talk fast...like no dots at all between sentences especially the Dubliners and maybe those from Cork. I remember being so lost during lectures in the first two weeks when I started college. Plus the accent...whoa..(apekemende la lecturer ni duk bebel ??*%#$$^b *pening).

As shown in this funny vid =)

Slan! (=Goodbye! Pronouced as Slown)

Half-Irish, (uhuhuhu..bila masa la plak ;p).

Love for Children

2009-12-21T22:21:00.024+08:00

I was doing my grocery shopping in Carrefour when I saw a man and his 3 or 4-year-old boy choosing donuts to buy. I was only a few feet away from them. What caught my attention was this man snapping at his son. He said to the kid harshly, "Hishh, pilihlah ko nak yang mana!!" CELAKA punya bapak. But the thing that really pissed me off was when shortly after that this man yelled again at his son. He was saying something like this, "BODOH, jgn lah bukak tanda harga tuh, kang susah nk bayar. Ko nih tak sabar2 nak makan!" ASSHOLE! Mendidih darah aku. "WOI mangkuk tak sedar diri!! Engko ler yang BODOH! Dah tau dia kecik lagi, apa yang dia tahu...yg ko maki hamun tu apehal? Ko tak layak jadi bapak kalau mende camtu pun takleh sabar. Otak letak kat lutut ke?! Binatang pun tau berlemah lembut ngan anak, ko lagi hina dari binatang!" kataku keras dalam hati. Tak berani la nak marah depan2, tak pasal2 aku plak kena maki. Tapi lain kali kalau aku jumpa situasi yang sama, aku akan tegur secara baik biar dia terasa dan mendoakan dia supaya diberi petunjuk Ilahi.

Ya Allah, sedih aku lihat senario tadi. Kesian aku kat budak tu...anak kecil yang tak bersalah. Dekat public depan2 org ramai pun bapak dia boleh herdik camtu ...apatah lagi lah kat rumah. Naik tangan agaknya. Terfikir aku kesan ke atas psikologi anak kecil tu. Mesti dia akan punya low self esteem dan tak mustahil bila dah meningkat dewasa, akan menjadi bengis seperti bapak dia.

I have a soft spot for young children. I can't stand seeing them cry. It breaks my heart. And for this reason, I chose not to become a Paediatrician. I'm afraid I'll get emotionally involved. I can never understand why people such as pedophiles, child abusers let alone fathers who rape their own daughters or even worse child murderers dare to hurt an innocent child. Their minds must be totally fucked up. How could they have no love or sympathy for these sweet little people? What wrong have they done to you, YOU RETARDED BASTARDS!!!

Please...please treat any child with love and respect. They are God's gifts. We adults have the responsibility to protect and nurture them, not harm them in any way. Don't be mad at them even if they get on your nerves. Give them a break. For Heaven's sake, they are only KIDS who know very little. We're the grown-ups, the ones with fully developed brain. We should be the bigger persons. Remember this - A strong person who bullies a weaker only makes him a COWARD.

I am a very considerate person but there are certain things I just cannot tolerate. One of them being child maltreatment. Nope. Never ever.

p/s: Sorry lah entry kali ni byk guna bahasa kasar. Sekadar expression utk emphasise ayat ketidakpuasan hati. Saya hanya mencarut dlm penulisan saja, tidak di alam nyata. Saya masih seorang gadis yang berpegang teguh kpd Rukun Negara yang kelima (Hah! jawab! apa dia? lupa la tuh =P) iaitu kesopanan dan kesusilaan. Hipokrit? Terpulang....!

Innocent like a child,

Medical Marriage

2009-12-17T00:42:00.010+08:00

From StudentBMJ 2007;15:89-132 March ISSN 0966-6494

Martina Esisi looks at marriage between doctors-the benefits and the pitfalls-and gives tips on how to make it work

Medical marriages in which both partners are doctors are increasingly common. As in most dual career marriages, the majority of people have met at some point during their career, perhaps at college, university, or even on a ward. As a trainee psychiatrist married to a specialist registrar in medicine, medical marriages face similar challenges to other marriages, but I also feel there are certain things about these unions that seem unique.

The good bits
The major advantage of being married to another doctor is that your spouse will understand what the job entails; more so if you are in the same medical subspecialty. There is better understanding, and a much greater degree of tolerance of each other's job commitments and career aspirations. This would include each other's on-call commitments, long working hours, hospital politics, membership examinations, and the need for career progression. There are invariably many things to talk about and a better understanding of technical jargon.

If doctors are in the same specialty, and at the same stage of training, they can even help each other with exams. Although my husband and I are not in the same stage of training, I know how valuable we find each other's opinions. Then of course, there is financial security. Clearly, two employed doctors would have a reasonable joint income, but this depends on the stage of training, hours worked, and if both have full time posts.

The not so good bits
Like all dual career marriages, a medical marriage can mean too much work and insufficient time spent together. It is often influenced by the branch of medicine and the stage of training. This is particularly true when both doctors are trainees, given the strenuous schedules of doctors in training. The on-calls are busier, and both still have exams to deal with. It gets even more difficult when you have children. Medical careers demand so much time that there is little room for a sick child, an unexpectedly ill childminder, parents' evenings, and school sports days. Often, colleagues are not sympathetic and patients do have needs. It can also be difficult to have family time as it is not always possible to book the same time off.

Do's and don'ts for a successful medical marriage

Do
Always make regular time for each other
Find interests outside medicine and work that you both enjoy
Make non-medical friends who are fun to be with
Keep a family diary for things like holidays, school events, and other domestic demands
Communicate with your spouse, and be a good listener
Show an interest in each other's career aspirations and career progression
Treat each other with respect and always value each other's opinion even if you disagree
Be flexible and ready to compromise; work fewer hours, postpone exams, take a career break
Have a childcare backup plan-consider grandparents, friends, nurseries, and holiday clubs

Don't
Bring work home
Live apart because of your work, if you can help it
Put your career before your marriage
Take examinations at the same time
Plan a family if you are both still in training
Attend only work related functions after working hours

In part this may be because you have to take account of your cross cover's needs and those of other colleagues, and your on-call and clinic commitments. In some cases, couples might have to live apart because they are unable to find jobs in the same location; this can lead to marital strain.

Marital strain can also result if the career programme of one spouse seems to progress faster than the other's as there is always a potential for competition. Being married to a doctor often means your social circle is made up of doctors and work colleagues, as there is little time to make friends away from work. This can make life boring as well.

Making it work
The main challenge of a dual doctor marriage is the time pressure and an inability to spend enough time with each other. Friendship is vital in a healthy marriage, and friendships are nurtured through shared quality time. It is therefore important to be able to create that time, by setting strict boundaries between work and family time. It is important to avoid bringing work home, to have good holidays, and to have a range of interests outside medicine.

Occasionally it may become necessary to sacrifice some career aspirations to ensure that the family lives together, especially when there are children. It might then become necessary to work part time, get off the medical merry go round, or change your career path. Always put your family and marriage first.

p/s: Suatu ketika dahulu, saya memang mati-mati determined nak kahwin dengan doktor. Sekarang...hmmm...tak se-determined dahulu =P

New interest that requires money and some generous friends

2009-12-15T01:26:00.013+08:00

Yesterday, I decided that I want to gradually collect all Baby Blues comic books where there are 34 to date. So, I bought my first Baby Blues comic book (Horray! Jgn jeles Halim! =P) from www.bookdepository.co.uk. (This is my favourite online bookstore. Check it out! They provide free delivery worldwide y'all). Lately, I've been purchasing lots of books online. This is the danger when you still keep your Irish credit card when you're currently already living in Malaysia. I still shop in Euros. Psychologically, it's cheaper to shop in Euros than RM. (The one I bought costs only 6.61 euros. See..! one digit figure *ignore the cents*). Hehehe...errk... pokai la aku tak lama lagi. Hey, it's better than spending money on shoes aite? I don't even bother looking up the books I want to buy in local stores. (By the way, I do find that the prices are cheaper online).

Online shopping is more fun...it saves time, spare you the traffic jam, finding parking space, the heat blah blah blah.. Besides, they arrive straight at your door. But the only drawback is you have to wait longer to get your hands on purchased items which is not really a troublesome for me. I can be patient. They are only books. No rush! In fact, it is more exciting to receive a book wrapped in parcel...it's like getting presents! I love the anticipation feeling.

Anyway, my birthday is on June 18th (*wink ). Start saving your money now!...hahahahaha...uh oh..As a New Year's gift is perfect too....or a starting-job gift...will definitely unwind my mind after the stressful long hours at work ;p

<--- The one I purchased. So, make sure you don't buy me the same title for my birthday okey! (Hahahaha..sukati jer). Plwweaaseeeeeee~ toink..toink..toink

Bebeh blues,

Friends from Mars

To be honest, I prefer to befriend males than females....aahahah, mati aku. Statement kontroversi. Bukanlah kerana saya seorang playgirl. Oh tidak...tidak sama sekali. Ye ke? iyee... tak caye sudaahh ;p

Kenapa saya mengeluarkan kenyataan sensasi tersebut?
Emmm.......kerana bagi saya (diulangi...BAGI SAYA) lelaki (mostly) adalah lebih cool, level-headed, tidak mudah berkecil hati, luas pengetahuan, byk idea dan funny. (cih! tak puas hati). Perempuan pula umumnya bila berkumpul lebih byk berbicara soal remeh temeh seperti gossips, pakwe, anak2, resepi masakan, drama TV....ah, bosan...sekali sekala bole laa layan. (Jgn pukul saya dgn payung!!!).

Tapi saya tidak menafikan, kadangkala lebih senang berbicara dgn perempuan terutama perihal hati dan emosi. Hehehehe...saling memahami naluri dan lebih senang bersimpati. Akan tetapi saya juga mempunyai seorang sahabat lelaki yg saya tidak kekok bercerita tentang soal hati ini. Hahaha..nama dia bermula dgn huruf 'I' (terlebih hormon estrogen kut beliau ni...tp nasib baik dah nak kawin. InsyaAllah tulen ;p). Saje... boleh dapat pandangan sudut lelaki pula.

Saya tidak mempunyai masalah berkawan dgn pelbagai golongan lelaki...be it suami orang, bapak org, tunang org, singles atau lelaki yg lebih muda. Tak salahkan berkawan? Yang penting, tahu batas dan niat ikhlas. Saya tidak berminat hendak mencipta skandal. Saya amat menghargai persahabatan. Anda berhak mendapat hormat saya selagi mana anda menghormati saya sebagai seorang manusia dan perempuan. (Selingan: Jika anda perasan, saya lebih gemar menggunapakai istilah perempuan berbanding wanita. Kenapa? Kerana wanita bunyinya lembik dan lemah. Perempuan lebih tegas dan bermaruah. Hahaha, tetiba je. Sukahati saya la bukan? Ia sekadar istilah, tak perlu mencebik).

Kepada semua yg bersahabat dengan saya, saya gembira mengenali anda. Moga kita saling memberi manfaat =)

p/s: Friends from Mars = aliens = makhluk hodoh = lelaki. (Wooppss!)

Let me share with you a true story that shows how REWARDING it is to be a doctor. He he he....
This INSPIRING story was told by a friend of mine (an OBGyn trainee) which happened to her recently.

She was on MAS airplane heading to Malaysia when soon after the plane took off, cabin crews were calling for any medical officer on board to identify themselves. Shit! She was cursing inside.Why can't they leave us doctors alone?? (aku tokok tambah sket). She waited a while to see if there was other doctor on board that could spare her this 'misfortune' but unfortunately there was none. Half-heartedly she offered herself to be the hero of the day. She was soon brought to the ill passenger who was already seated in Business Class area. A middle-aged man was complaining of 'stomach ache'. After taking brief history and doing physical examination... it seemed that this 'pak cik' was having biliary colic (pain related to gallstones). She asked him if he wanted to be given Tramadol shot for pain relief but the 'pak cik' wasn't too keen to receive same so he was given Paracetamol instead and only after my friend was happy with his condition, she left this poor man with the hope that the pills would kick in and give him some pain relief so that no further intervention would be needed at least until they hit the ground...and thankfully, she wasn't called to review the 'pak cik' again until they landed. Or perhaps that 'pak cik' just pretended to be sick so that he gets to be transferred to Business Class seat. Hahahahaa...keji. Oh well, that is actually not a bad idea at all....I'm a genius! (Hahhahaha, pemikiran keji) ;p

Now comes the highlight of the story.

After the sudden unexpected 'consultation', this friend of mine received special treatment from the cabin crews.....they gave her business class travel kit (huh! a seat upgrade would have been nice) and they kept offering her food. Simply said, they treated her extra nice.

But this is yet the best part.

When they arrived in KLIA and she was about to walk out of the plane...one of the cabin crews handed her a gift bag. Guess what was in it?.... It was a single one-way London-KL open ticket !!!!! They said it was a 'small' token from MAS as appreciation for what she did earlier. OMG... I was so jealous of hearing this!! Cool eh? How REWARDING was that?! Hehehee.... I promised myself...the next time I'm on an airplane and they call for a doctor.......I'll be the first to raise my hand. ;p. Who knows what handsome reward I would get? A travel-around-the world free ticket is one possibility. Hihihiihi...(tak ikhlas). Tell you the truth, and I'm not proud of this.....it happened to me once but I chickened out. Thank God there was another more experienced doctor on that plane to help out. ;p

That above is one instance of simple cases you can deal with easily but unfortunately sometimes....when you're unable to manage a sick passenger up high in the sky due to lack of equipments or medicines or the condition just warrants immediate and more proper treatment that it is necessary for the pilot to land the plane at the nearest airport...then it is all up to the doctor to make the call. Just imagine the pressure put on our shoulders! You definitely do not want to be blamed by other passengers for disrupting their schedule or feel humiliated for had mistaken a false alarm for serious condition. That is sure one tough call to make but at the end of the day you just have to do what you have to do. Hahahahahha...giler aah.

Anyhow, bravo to Dr. Aida for your brave action!! You did brilliantly. So proud of you =)

Aye-aye Captain!

Kasihnya Allah ..kasihkah kita pada-Nya?

Ermm...asyik post entry merapu je selama ni..kali ni terasa nak share something yang hopefully beri manfaat....kalau tak pada anda...pada diri saya sendiri........(copy paste dari blog lama saya).

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...
Dengan nama Allah yg Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Penyayang.

Pertama-tama, ucapkan kalimah syukur pd Allah kerana masih menetapkan kita di dalam Islam. Sentiasa lah berdoa kpd Allah agar tidak dipalingkan hati kita dari jalan-Nya. Berharaplah agar Allah sentiasa memberikan petunjuk-Nya dan kasih sayang-Nya buat kita.

Betulkan niat anda..apa saja yg anda lakukan sekarang ini..bekerja, belajar, makan, bersukan etc adalah kerana Allah. ..adalah utk mendapat redha Allah. InsyaAllah..apabila hati anda ikhlas..semua perkara menjadi ibadah. Dah dpt 2 pahala..satu kerana niat dan satu apabila anda melakukannya. Mudah bukan?

Lihat sekeliling anda..matahari, bulan, rumput yang anda pijak, awan di langit, burung-burung, batu, siput, kucing ,pokok , ranting kayu..semua adalah makhluk Allah...dan semuanya Islam. Anda mungkin tertanya..Aikk..mende2 ni pon Islam jugak ke? Ya, mereka adalah muslim kerana mereka semua patuh pada Allah..mereka mengikut peraturan yg telah Allah tetapkan pada mereka. Sbg contoh, Allah tetapkan matahari dan bulan supaya berputar mengikut arah tertentu..maka, matahari dan bulan akan berputar mengikut ketetapan itu, mereka takkan sesuka hati nk tukar arah...huru hara lah alam ini nanti. Mereka tidak diberi pilihan..semuanya perlu taat pada Allah. Tapi, manusia lain. Manusia diberi pilihan oleh Allah untuk nak patuh pada Tuhan atau tidak. Allah nak mudahkan manusia utk membuat pilihan, Allah berikan Al-Quran sbg pedoman. Analoginya..spt peperiksaan , sebelum exam..pensyarah bagitau soalan2 yg akan keluar. Confirm keluar punyalah! Tentulah kalau kita study utk soalan2 tu, jawab soalan2 tu dgn baik kita akan lulus cemerlang. Begitulah Al-Quran, Allah dah berikan guidelines pd kita bagaimana nk jd manusia yg akan berjaya di dunia dan akhirat. Kalau kita ikut, pasti kita lulus dgn cemerlang di dunia ni dan insyaAllah reward yg paling best, syurga Allah di akhirat nti.Betul tak? Bacalah Al-Quran..buka TAFSIRnya. Cantik sgt sebenarnya ayat2 Al-Quran kalau kita menghayatinya. Sgt menarik...Banyak kebenarannya bg org2 yg mahu berfikir. Kalau kita boleh baca newspaper setiap pagi, apa salahnya kita luangkan masa utk baca beberapa potong ayat Al-Quran. Yang penting fahami maksudnya ..sbb tak guna lah kalau kita sekadar baca dan tak faham apa yg Allah nak smpaikan.

Betapa kasihnya Allah pada manusia, alam ni Allah jadikan semata2 utk manusia. Apa buktinya? Sebelum Nabi Adam a.s diturunkan ke Bumi, Allah dah sediakan alam ni..dgn segala isinya; tumbuhan, binatang, ada oxygen...utk kegunaan manusia. Macam bakal ibu dan ayah yg menunggu kelahiran bayi, sayangnya mereka pd bakal anak ni,..sebelum anak itu lahir lg, mcm2 persiapan dah dibuat...dah belikan baju, sediakan bilik, katil, toys ..etc Kasih sayang Allah lebih lagi drpd tu. Hari2 kita hirup oxygen..tp Allah tak mintak kita bayar sesen pun. Sekecil2 perkara pun Allah fikirkan utk manusia. Contohnya, bintang2 di langit tu Allah jdkan supaya bila malam, apabila manusia melihatnya, Allah tahu....manusia akan berasa gembira. Betul tak? Kita bila tgk bintang, kita mesti rasa cantiknya bintang2 tu..dan kita pun rasa gembira je dlm hati. Baikkan Allah? Sampai begitu skali Allah fikirkan tentang manusia. Bila hari kiamat nti, apabila semua manusia dah dimatikan, alam ini pun Allah musnahkan....sbb dah tak ada gunalah alam apabila tiada lagi manusia. Tanya diri anda, kasih tak Allah pada kita?

Ingatlah bila kita berjalan dekat luar tu, makhluk2 alam sekeliling kita ni setiap saat berzikir pd Allah.. bertasbih memuji Allah. Tapi manusia, susah sgt nk menyebut nama Allah. Tak malu ke kita dgn makhluk2 Allah yg lain sedangkan manusia ni sebaik2 kejadian yg Allah ciptakan? Didiklah diri anda supaya sentiasa berzikir...zikir ni amalan yg paling mudah, bila2 dan di mana2 pon boleh zikir. Stuck in the traffic jam..zikir..sikir. Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, Allahuakbar. Berjalan ke kuliah..ucap zikir..Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim.

Manusia ni sifatnya mmg pelupa. Manusia selalu lupa pada Penciptanya. Walhal, kita ni takde sekelumit kuasa pun atas diri sendiri, semua adalah oleh Allah, milik Allah. Nak gerakkan jari pun, Allah yg gerakkan. Bagaimana manusia boleh sanggup mendabik dada, angkuh dan tak mahu tunduk pada Pemilknya sedangkan hakikatnya kita ni dijadikan Allah dari air mani je..hina sgt! Fikirkan..Sampai bila nk sombong, lupa diri sedangkan kepada Allah juga kita kembali akhirnya. Hidup kat dunia ni sementara, sekejap sgt..sedangkan akhirat itu yg kekal ABADI.

Renung2kan diri kita..rasa2nya di mana kita ni di mata Allah.

Saya berharap apa yg saya smpaikan dpt memberi sedikit peringatan kpd anda. Saya juga berpesan-pesan kpd diri sendiri. Saya bukanlah org yg paling baik utk berkata2 sekadar berkongsi rasa. Saya juga manusia yang banyak khilaf. Kalau ada kesilapan, tegurlah si penulis ini kerana saya juga sama2 belajar. Sama2lah kita memperbaiki diri dan menuju ke arah kebaikan. Tanamkan azam..dan mohon pertolongan Allah.
Akhir kata, moga kita semua berada di dalam limpahan rahmat-Nya.

This morning I was told by a friend that my ex-house mate (Leen) of 5 years in Galway had given birth to a baby boy last night! Wow...another baby boy is born. This year is sure a year for baby boys to fill the world. That makes two out of five No.17-Corrib girls to have become mommies. (Hana also gave birth to a baby boy in October). Goodness gracious! How time flies...I can still recall all the crazy fun we had during those 5 years we were together. How childish we were back then. We've grown up, haven't we? Anyway, I am super duper happy for them!

Congratulations to Leen and Hana upon the arrival of your new bundle of joy....I'm sure you both will make a good mother slash hot mama ;p

Sila baca sekali lagi!

FINISHED FILES ARE THE

STUDY COMBINED WITH THE
EXPERIENCE OF YEARS

Salah..!
Sebenarnya terdapat 6, kira semula
Errkkk....camne boleh jadi begitu??

Ini adalah kerana otak LELAKI tidak memproses perkataan OF
Keajaiban kejadian atau silap mata?
Sesiapa yang dapat mengira kesemua 6 F pada permulaan ujian memiliki otak PEREMPUAN..!

(Kesahihan keputusan ujian secara saintifik tidak dapat dipastikan).
