Precious... Life...

noreply@blogger.com (pp) — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 15:21:00 +0000

I realised today that life is too short to be pondering around, with no direction...

Life is too short to rush everywhere, never knowing when its gonna end...

How many of us go to work everyday thinking about what to do after finish working?

How many of us get to do what is planned?

Why the rush?

Take a minute, wait and look around.. enjoy the moment.. for life is too short to rush by...

What if one of us go to work one day just to find out that we are never gona return after work..

How would you spend your last day?

We'll never know when is the last day... till it comes..

So live everyday like its your last day...

If only we know that she is gona meet with an accident and never to return...

If only we had a chance to bid farewell.. or to return her last message..

if only someone was there earlier.. if only...

But God loves her more...

Rest in Peace..

For a dear friend that just passed away in a car accident today.. a very dedicated doctor.. an angel...

We will truly miss you forever...

Off contacts lense Week 1

noreply@blogger.com (pp) — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 15:01:00 +0000

Firstly, let me expose you to life of a contact lens wearer..

The first few months of wearing contacts, you will be struggling, only putting on from time to time cuz takes to long to stuck it in ur eyes..

Afterthat, you will be damn used to it and its like your second eyes, till you refused to go anywhere without it.. As for me, from the moment i wake up till the moment before I sleep.. and the earlier times i remember sleeping with it on.. those days are gone now..

After 1-2 years of neglect, your eyes will start to suffer from redness from time to time (complications from contact lens)... occassionally need to stop wearing for few days to let things cool down and oxygenate the eyes.. haha.. and worried everytime you cry or rub your eyes etc, cos of contact lens..

Alwiz having to carry a contact lens solution in handbag, even more important than tissue paper.. incase suddenly stg gets into the eye etc u'll end up having to clean it.. Nightmares during trip.. now with the 100ml limit on flights rule.. have to look for those 100ml solution.. Weirdly, some brand says 'travel kit' but 120ml.. zzz... have to bring lens case, n xtra lenses.. etc..

After you eyes really couldt take it anymore, you'll upgrade to daily lens.. which is what i am using now.. more hygienic but still cant wear for long hours.. glasses? stopped wearing them since 10 years ago.. so whats next???
This..hehe..

Have to lay off contacts for 2 weeks... booked my appointment with so called the pioneer opthalmologist at optimax.. yee.. see how it goes.

wish me luck!!

Blog Revive...

noreply@blogger.com (pp) — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 10:23:00 +0000

I know I have said this so many times to start blogging again.. and almost

90% of the time it will be another 3 mths later before my next blog..

10% of the time i blog another time tomorrow;
and then another 3 mths later..

Working life as a house officer really changed me to a boring person.. with boring lifestyle.. Everything is about work..
the friends I meet are from work..
and when we finally sit down and talk, its ALL ABOUT WORK... at first you feel excited to talk about patients, MOs, specialists, gossip gossip.. but after some time..

ITS... ALL... ABOUT... WORK...

Due to the long working hours and 7 days a week, we only have time to talk to those at work.. the short lunch break, while waiting at the radiology counter, etc.. even if we do go out with non-work people, they will end up be bored to death cuz.. ITS ALL ABOUT WORK all over again... then i realise I reeli have nothing else to talk about.. shytes..

Since I am already full of working life, the last thing I want is to come home and BLOG about work againn.. shytess.. but most of the time i wun have time to blog.. And some times when I am less boring and have bloggable ideas, I realized that I've lost touch and 'malasted' to blog already..

Even holidays etc also, high chance is I'll come back to working the next day or 1-2 xtra day to do laundry clean room etc..

Now you know why I DONT BLOG ANYMORE... shytess..

Solution:

1) I blog about work

2) I dont blog

3) I blog about non-work aka nothing..

4) I do more non-work stuff and blog about non-work stuff.. hehe...

sounds like a plan..

Lost and Found...

noreply@blogger.com (pp) — Fri, 06 May 2011 08:12:00 +0000

I noe its been long since i update my blog.. but i reeli have to express my gratitude to MAS Airlines...

The story goes like this..

I was in KL... My flight back to KK is 5.30pm..
Smartly we decided to go to the busiest part of KL to have breakfast aka lunch before balik.. plus shopping n window shopping... My last agenda was dapau-ing Beard Papa to eat in the airport..

Our initial plan was to take KLIA express from kl central..
Being typical Malaysian with 'aunty' syndrome, we went back to semenanjung with 1 bag but return with 2.. so had to check in, means have to be at the airport atleast 4.30pm...

We somehow had the impression that we have loads of time.. whose fault???
Blame it to KLIA express punya advertisement, promise to get us to KLIA within 28 minutes..

So leave at 3.30pm, reach kl central 3.45, then take the 4pm klia express, sampai 4.30pm..ngam ngam.. set..

The moment we leave Pavilion, shits.. JAM..
We were going at the speed of 2metre /mins.. even someone with ilizarov van walk faster than that.. we saw the time tick tick tick tick tick... how.. nearest tube also not very near lei.. By 4pm, we start to lose hope already.. how to get to KLIA by 4.30??

That crucial moment we decided to jump out of the car, (leaving my beard papa behind to increase the speed)... rushed for the nearest monorail, bukit bintang..
Everything surprisingly went smoothly.. got our tickets in 30 secs, ran in, a monorail approached us immediately.. packed with ppl but we managed to squeeze in...

5 stops from Kl central.. 4 stops.. 3 stops... 2 stops...
Suddenly it crossed my mind, probably I should check in on-line first.. previously we thought, just check in at the airport since we have luggage.. but last resort, bring all luggage onboard n get charged at boarding gate.. haha..
So we smartly checked in and then i realise we have the super barcode technology, noneed to print our boarding pass anymore..

i noe i noe, im abit outdated..

ou.. not forgetting the monorail station is slightly off the main KL central building..

Looking at the watch... 4.35pm

In our minds we were thinking its impossible for us to make it.. But in our heart..

"WE HAVE TO MAKE IT!!!"

We ran with our extra baggage to the KLIA express counter, bought our tickets in less than 1 minute.. at the announcement board, train arriving in 2 minutes..

We ran in and feuh... sempat.. At least they stick to their motto, 28 mins to KLIA...

Reached KLIA at about 5.05pm.. ran to the baggage counter.. 5.10pm...

man: pukul berapa flight?

Us: 5.30pm..

man: Huh!!!

man: okok..masuk masuk..

Surprisingly he allowed us to check in!!.. Thank You MAS airlines No1

Afterthat, the next day, we realised that our 60Gb Ipod left on the flight..
The usual Malaysian mentality will say:

"Aiya.. no more oredi one la..."

I just try la..call the airport.. n.. da da da dang..

Managed to find!!! Sabahan's are so kind...

Thank you Mas Airlines crew No 2...

O & G

noreply@blogger.com (pp) — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 13:10:00 +0000

Tomorrow I can start saying:

" Hi, I am a second poster, completed O&G posting"...

Yeah.. proud to survive O&G as first poster.. those who have gone tru, u will agree..

Part of the reason y I have been MIA for full 4 months.. cos in this posting, sleeping and eating is luxury.. you have totally no time for anything.. I only have time to turn on my computer once a week in which I fell a sleep even before the computer reach the homepage..

Before starting with Hows O&G, lets start with hows Kota Kinabalu.. well.. with working 6.30am to 8pm everyday and oncall twice aweek, i still manage to squeeze tru mini trips to Kudat and Kundasang.. which is nice.. islands, no chance yet.. food wise, KK food is not that great.. will continue my food blog nx time.. haha..

Rule number 1 to pass O&G... enter quietly, leave quietly..

Well, I failed that.. did not manage to enter quietly with the big "Edinburgh" behind my name in my chop.. (btw made a new one with a smaller italic edinburgh, hopefully less noticeable..)

Rule number 2: dont be a hero.. hero die early..

Rule number 3: Be very careful till the very end.. u might get extended at anytime.. haha..

Today when I walked tru the Likas door, herm.. i somehow felt abit erm.. sad to leave.. after 4 months, I've already gotten used to the life there.. and getting close to the nurses, midwives, MOs, collegues..

Cant believe I have to start tagging again tomorrowww...

Anyway, Im going to Orthopaedics next.. From hell to heaven.. hope I dont get lazy there.. haha

having flights of ideas now.. cos too long din blog, dont know where to start and what to write..

adios..

Kekeke.. Kuching is quite different from what I remembered... actualy i cant remember much..hahaa..

The art of adapting

noreply@blogger.com (pp) — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 12:22:00 +0000

The law of nature...only the strong will survive, the weaker ones will disesarkan... I think what we need most is the art of adapting.. Once u learn to adapt,u can survive in wadever situation...
Bak kata pepatah,

'masuk kandang kambing mengembek,masuk kandang lembu menge-moo...'

I now understand this theory.. Day by day living with 2 retirees..i began to sink into their lifestyles... In fact actualy look forward to it.. I stil continue my morning jog lifestyle.. Cos im used to it liao.. Jus today i join a group of apek run... Whoa..dun look down on apeks..they super geng one.. A group where their average age is 50.. N me..haha..

I now start to watch the xin wen bao gao kan (news) that my dad watches.. N slowly slowly begin to like watchin the stupid 9.30pm drama that my mum watch... Dono when i start to be curious n wana noe more about the drama..hahaa...

Well..this is how time can change people... But im still glad to know that this is just temporary...

Seeing how old ppl can be sien, i think i need to find more hobbies that i enjoy doing after i retire.. Right now im so inspired by the apeks to run marathon..hahaa..or at least half marathon la..hehe..

Youngsters..better plan now b4 its too late.. U dun wana work ur whole life n one day when u retire,u get lost n dono wad to do...

Part time job

noreply@blogger.com (pp) — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 14:11:00 +0000

As some of u might already know, im currently working part time in oyster king midvalley... Juz to cover for festive season...
Gaji: undisclosed...

Life as an ojien selller reminds me of my old sushi king days and working days... Working long hours..sumore raya means super busy... I guess this will be the last time i work as kuli.. After i start working for real,i wonder if condition is better or worse?

long hours
multi-tasking
no time to eat or rest...
Everynight back home feeling tired and can only watch wadever astro replay that u missed and sleep...

Whats the difference between dr n ojien seller? haha..

I actually learn alot of things from this job.. I think i can apply alot in dr life kot..haha..u think its easy to sell ojien? I can actually see the sushi management game that i play come to life..

Have to jaga customer, take order,clear plate..jaga order..make sure order delivered,jaga cashier,ppl wana take fork take spoon n customer wan special dowan cili tambah cili tambah tauge tambah telur... Super multi tasking... Customer wait too long angry lari,haha..reli like in the game.. In game u just need to click n the plate hilang..click cashier money terus masuk..this 1 reeli have to do one..haha..

How isit similar in hospital setting? Teamwork is super important also..everyone got their own role..drinks part side dish part chef part...all need communication... One can only speak chinese one can only speak malay..haha..

N like in cardiac arrest, whoever reach the scene first do resus.. This is whoever take order do drink..haha.. N need one leader to coordinate order..too many leader also luan.. N got check list also..

Now i understand y the aunty sell yongtaufu alwiz scold say sit down first later she come n take order..dun go kepo kepo all wana order how to take la.. N if anyone try to promote ojien to u,just smile to them,dowan say dowan..dun need to action one.. N when other ppl taking order, let them finish their job first..they will attend to u later..u keep asking they also kenot remember...

Now i dun look forward to work already..dun mind rotting at home for awhile more...thanks for the gentle reminder of how working life wud b..ill enjoy my holiday now..
