Creating my new post at the time shown in the title.
Another 23hours and 29 minutes to enter Year 2010.
I will spend my time with family at home later on.
No count down activities since the last time 4 years ago.
That was kinda an unpleasant count down activities in Sungai Wang Plaza.
Too crowded and it was hard to buy monorail ticket once u step into new year.
Everyone was fighting for the last travel back to KL Sentral by 1.30am.(If i'm not mistaken for the last monorail travel)
I still remember....Standing at a corner where I had been displaced by the crowd, and seeing the firework which blocked by the stupiak tall building was really suffering.
So I promise to myself wun go for such activity in future of my life.
Once and for all. ^^
My new year wish is pretty simple --->Passing MBBS.
And wish to get the hospital that i want.
And starting my HO life......
Everything is going smoothly but this sounds impossible.
Unless people are superb immunocompetent...I'm jobless then...
Hope every1 stays healthy la...Happy New Year!!!
UM medical students will take the photo above annually at the end of each year. This can be said as the tradition of us since the age of our Grand grand Super super senior Doctors..bla bla bla.What is the most obvious difference that I have found from this photo is the number of my coursemates who attended the photo taking session. It's just 45+...then where were the others?
I can still remember that this photo session is the happiest hour during our 1st year. Because all of us went there including those who have changed course or went to NUS. Quite disappointed when knowing some were not there to complete the empty spaces despite this is the last session before graduating. Hardly have chance to have such activity in future.
Don't u all think that we should appreciate it? I dunno what reason why u couldn't come. But it won't waste ur 30minutes time to take a photo with us. That also u couldn't make it? Sigh~
Fewer and fewer of us come to this photo session. In my opinion, this is a good tradition to follow because it's our 'LOGO'.
And the number of year shown behind there is not important for me. What make the difference is the faces in the photos. Lotsa differences that can spot from year to year....hehe.
Yayaya...Long time not update my blog ady. Will put more effort in future. C ya!!^^
This is the complete Gingerbread trap equipped with base.
MH forum mentioned that most of the MH-ers hardly get this because have to wait the Festive Comet melts wo.
But then I got it in just an evening time.
What to say ler?? I'm superb lucky lo!! ^0^
Hmm...My teachers used to teach me that we have to be low-profiled.
But really can't wait to post this cute thing up!!
I'm In MANIAC phase now!!!
wohoooo>>>>
Am I a bit too much??? Hahaha
Long time I didn't go home ady.
Acute Care Course.
Study Group.
Case Summaries.
EOP Test.
I'm bothered by all these matters.
That's Y I couldn't go home for almost 1 month.
Coming EOP Test in 2 weeks time.
Then I'm free to go home.^^
2 days recharging before back to reality.
To face the final MBBS in near 2 months time.
I want to go Vietnam and Cambodia!!!
First thing to do is I have to pass my exam... Go go Go >.<
Another depressing day.
Paeds always makes me no mood to proceed further.
Well, another short case for me during ward round with Dr. Chong today.
A case of 7 month old Malay boy presented with macrocephaly lying on the bed who was playing with rattle.
I was asked to give a general inspection and proceed further to come out with diagnosis.
Obviously, the baby has cerebral palsy and I should examine neurological examination and perform developmental assessment on him.
However, I was kept on stunted and hesitating during the examination.
Of course this further affected my performance in Q&A session.
Still remember last time during my Phase IIIA EOP Paeds short case in UMMC.
I was given a case to examine a cerebral palsy baby with VP shunt.
Prof Hany and Dr Gan CS were my examiners that time.
That was a bad dream for me and I think I still haven go through it.
Haiz, CP patient... I have CP-phobia!!! T.T
Why have to compare with other people?
They have their own way to conduct their discussion.
Why we have to keep pace with them?
The important thing is we're benefited at the end of discussion.
Squeeze in all the topics in one session will just make the poor outcome.
Couldn't concentrate and it's tiring to have a long run within that 2 or 3 hours.
We call this as KIASU??
We're in our own track. If u think the progress is slow, just make it faster next time.
But not to increase the workload afterall.
If u think u can cope with it, go ahead!!
Bear in mind, this is a group work.
It won't work without synchronization.
Sorry if I'm too much here.
Please reconsider...
Really feel lazy to update my blog recently.
Nothing special or interesting happened that I can share here.
Everyday keep on repeat doing the same things again and again.
Haiz...sometimes I rather feel to put all those tasks beyond my vision.
At least I can feel relaxed temporarily.
But once back to the reality, all those things just couldn't get out from my mind.
What to do??
Accept it!! Who told you to choose this professional field to study?
Sigh~~
For those who just finished their exam recently,
You all should optimize ur holidays and enjoy it 99!!
It wun come to you by chance lo..^^
若世界末日降临，人类将会面对严峻的考验。
人心的善恶会是如何被死亡摆布？
先别挑剔它的故事情节是多么的虚假。
用心去体会背后所带给的讯息。
当看到人类在死亡前显得如此的无助与渺小，内心总觉得有种莫名的感慨。
知道亲人将会离开你的时候，却连嘘寒问暖的一句话都办不到。
那种场景深深烙印在我内心的某个角落。
好多事物该踏实地去完成及挽救，
不然后悔已晚。
珍惜眼前的一切，包括亲人，情人，朋友。
生命是如此脆弱，就在瞬间的一刹那消失匿迹。
在短短的两个小时半，视觉及听觉的震撼是当然，
但领会人生的宝贵，人性的底线，亲人的珍贵，与我内心的感触已远远超越这部戏所带来的视听效果。
这篇文章并没含有促销广告的意念，全归我个人内心的看法。 ^.^
Have been 2 weeks attached to ward P6...
Finally... Today is the last day!
Yes!! No more need to stay in ward till AT LEAST 6pm everyday ^0^
Dr. Shanti, u are really a caring and nice doctor.
I'm so impressed the way u treat ur patients and care for them.
But pls dun retain our medical students till 6pm in the ward.
It's damn damn damn boring and time wasting...XD
We will go to ward anyway.
The more u restrict us, the more we will rebound.
Welcome to P6!! The next coming subgroup in Paeds..
It's quite embarrassing if ur junior knows to answer a Dr's question but not you...
Depressed because of that.
Sigh~~~
1 week after Paeds posting, I'm HOME!! ^.^
For the past 1 week, spent around 9 and a half hours in Paeds Oncology ward everyday.
Dr Shanti wants us to follow rounds, clerking patients and trains us to be future HO.
Time schedule is 7.30am to 1pm--> lunch break--> 2pm to 6pm.
This not include our oncall time from 8pm to 12am on certain days.
Paeds is really tough job..I knew this since Phase IIIA in Klang Hosp.
Take children's life SSSeriouSSS!!!
Those kids in Onco ward all diagnosed with leukaemia, osteosarcoma, neuroblastoma and other malignancies since early life.
Receiving chemotherapy and suffering under NUMEROUS complications of it.
Looking at the mothers... No one can understand their feelings deep inside.
Their tears have been dried up X n times.
How many times they have been blaimed by other family members because of giving birth to sick childs?? (some are Down's syndrome)
How many times they have been stigmatised?
The children staring at you blankly when u near them.
They just want to lead a normal child's life!! Yet it sounds so FAR from them.
Hair drop, mouth ulcer, pricking pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, dry skin....and etc etc...
They couldn't get rid of all these!!!
So, what have we learnt from them??
Finished!!! ^_^
Just finished my EOP exam and CPC writing exam!!!
Suddenly feel so empty.
Don't know why having such feelings?
Should be happy instead of emptiness.
For the past one month in Banting,
I didn't go cinema.
I didn't go singing K.
I didn't play games. Except MH-ing. (hehe. This is the only game i hook into..^.^)
Relaxing life in Banting Hospital~
Back to reality once i stepped on the ground at the front gate of 6th college.
The feelings of unsecure.
The feelings of scary.
The feelings of responsibility.
The feelings of competitive.
All gush into my heart...Compressed. Heavy.
Ya,no doubt the turning point in my life is just 4 months away from now.
I'm bothered with too many worries... LOTS!!!
Paeds and Surgery.
Two main postings before FINAL.
I didn't really enjoy much for the last month. T.T
I will get myself prepared for Paeds.
Ready???
YES!!! I'am.
EOP(end of posting) exam is coming...
Paeds posting is coming...
Final MBBS is coming...
The working days in hosp are coming...
I'm leaving banting...
University Malaya...I'm coming...
And...
Ronza is leaving...Soon...
L to R: Jason, Van, Shu chien and chun tsu. Group 1 chinese in Pantai Morib.
This pic is cool~..
How about this pula??
Twin Tower at Jugra hill
I like this so so much.^^
At the top of Jugra..
Four of us again..
I conquered Jugra finally!!! Yay!!
A 8 years old orang asli boy named Zul, was admitted yesterday to Banting hospital.
He had syncopal attack prior to admission. His growth was far smaller than the age of 8.
From examination, he looked pallor and had smooth tongue. (because of iron deficiency)
Heart murmur was noticed and it showed sign of heart failure.
His abdomen was bloated. Liver and spleen were swollen as well.
Striking feature was that he was severely malnourished.
Blood test result showed haemoglobin level was 1.1g/dL.(it's superb severe anaemia!!!!)
Hence, blood transfusion was given at stat.
On further questioning, he was born in a family of 5 siblings and he was the youngest.
Both parents did not receive education in school. The mother gave birth to a total of 10 children but 3 of them had passed away in early life due to failure to thrive and the other 2 were miscarriages.
I stressed to the mother why not bring the child to hosp before the condition became worsening?
Her answer was,
' Anak saya sebelum ni pun size ini juga. Tak ade masalah pun dan sekarang dah besar. Saya bawa dia kerane dia pengsan...'
Asking Zul whether staying in ward is nice or not.
He answered,
'Sini lagi baik.'
I asked him further under the drive of curiosity.
He said,' Hosp ade katil.'
My heart was so pain when seeing and talking to this poor child.
Why the parents were so ignorant? No family planning at all?
Those children were suffering because of them!!! They actually can lead a normal child's life.
Orang asli were lacking of knowledge in taking good care of their children.
Proper education to the Orang asli, please??!!!
Where is our Government? Do your job NOW!!!!
Feeling so reluctant to go back Banting later. T.T
A place where no entertainment and ur room is like a sauna in the afternoon.
Unless u go A&E or labour ward which are equipped with low-graded air-cond. XD
2 and a half months to go for Final MBBS. Now should be all the final year medical students' critical period.
Looked tension, anxious, uneasy and restlessness. Haha.
But still there are some who really enjoy their life before graduating. This is called LIFE..^.^
However, final exam does perturb me.
Anxiety disorder + circardian rhythm is all in ruins.
Problem is nothing can be done in such a short time because it depends on daily constant effort that u put in.
What to do? *Crossing fingers*
明天会更好。
But it was not in Banting for sure.
We went to Laundry Bar in The Curve!!! Haizi, C.Tsu, Van, S.Chien and me travelled to PJ to have drinks.
Surprisingly, Dr.Chan(Maxillofacial surgeon and dentist) did come to join us after being invited.
From L to R: Chan, Vanessa, Chun Tsu, Haizi and Jason.I ordered Mandarin Mojito (Orange Vodka +mint leaves +sweet and sour). And that didn’t stop me from having another cup of red wine. Hehe.
I was NOT DRUNK and just felt a bit dizzy after having double ‘dosage’ of it. Thanks to Chan for treating us the drinks and we really had a good time there. ^^
Next we went to Hartamas to have supper. Initially, we just wanted to have some food after drinking the liqueur. And things are always out of prediction. Every 1 of us had our first time of Shisha-ing. Being tempted by Haizi, I had my once in a life time…Wow, couldn’t believe that the fruity smell smoke being exhaled from all my body’s orifices. hahaha (It’s not a good thing to learn so this will be my first and the last. XD)
Wow, I'm looked bad.XDHeading to Banting at midnight. Not forget to say thank you to our driver, Haizi.
A wife visited her husband in hospital because of getting dengue fever. She complained of having dizziness during the visit hours.
So, the Dr checked her and found out that her blood pressure was at 90/60 mmHg.
After that, she was straight being admitted and extensive intravenous fluid was given.
In late stage, she was sent to ICU.
Her husband was in ward and in stabilised condition, went to see her in ICU.
Finally, she couldn't be saved because of the life threatening Dengue Haemorrhagic Shock.(DHS)
She was under diagnosed to have dengue fever and she was in the most critical phase of Dengue fever--> 'Defeversence' phase where plasma leakage can occur and it causes fatal.
Maybe this is an usual event occurs is hosp but as a medical student, I gain a lesson that we must know what are we learning daily and apply it on real case wisely.
The woman's life can be saved and DHS is a preventable disease.
We should try to save them. At least prevent them from getting worse.
Learning medicine is to save the people out there and not just getting the knowledge from the books per se.
So,change ur attitude from now on if you're not.
Surprise seeing I'm blogging here?? haha.
Now i should be suffering under days without internet in Banting rite?
But things always go well with the 'help' of my sis.
I persuaded her to lend me broadband!!! ^_^ Thanks ya.
The coverage here is quite slow and getting disconnected easily. Sigh~
Anyway, better than none.
With it, i think at least won't be so boring here with just studying and hunting for daily meals.
Still searching for famous garlic 'you zha gui'in Jenjarum and begger chicken near Jugra hill.
U ask for it? and u got it!!! ha
Seems cruel to put ants poisons in my room which is fully occupied with ants.
It takes 2 to 3 days to work. Let's see the result then...
Sorry for the NO MERCY....
A week abstaining from blogging. =.=
Some highlights in Banting.
1st day
1 hour trip to Banting had been lengthened to 1 and a half hour due to inevitable traffic jam in Subang.
Thought can escape from it if we went at night but seem it had been arranged for us since early. =.=
I’m damn LUCKY this time. Why?? I became speechless when I saw patchy of ants were attracted to my breads. As I know, just one room in hostel is flooded with ants. First prize will be mine if I buy TOTO tonight. T_T
And each of us got our single room here.
Water cooler is unavailable and not even is hospital. What to do? Have to go and buy from a shopping complex which is not far from here. It’s troublesome staying here!!!
Problems never end there. Feel so irritated when couldn’t sound the horn. This is the most highlighted problem because it does affect my routine daily activities. Haiz. MH addictor has to pay for this!! On the other hand, this makes me more concentrate in study. I should think of the positive way instead of the bad 1.
Went Big Longkang to have lunch and Pasar Malam. Called it a day. Jaw dropped when the price of mix rice plus drinks was just RM3.60. Even in my hometown also couldn’t get such cheap price. ^_^
2nd day
Went to school health programme in SK JUGRA. PKD Kuala Langat organized an anti-smoking campaign and the targeted population was Standard 6 male students.
Titled ‘Kempen Cara Hidup Sihat Tanpa Merokok’. I was the facilitator during group activities. Felt proud to be announced that my group won the 1st prize. Huhuhu. It was in expectation . ^_^
The motto of the school is ‘We are Champion’. It made me thinking of MHS’s motto which even sounds cockier à WE ARE THE BEST! It sounds greater. Keke.
Joined KK Kanchong Darat’s post-natal visit in the afternoon. Driving in those kampong roads was kinda fun. Haha.
The mother whom we visited really needs to be educated properly.
She doesn’t breast feed her baby. Furthermore, both the mother and baby are passive smokers because her husband’s bad habit. They keep pigeons at home which do expose the baby to risk of getting cryptococcosis and meningitis. Why? The pigeons’ dropping itself is the infective agent…
Haiz…outskirts’ people really need a prompt and proper health education to reduce their morbidity and mortality rate.
3rd day
Went for Environmental Health programme in the morning and child health clinic in KK Telok Datok.
This was not the first time I attached to KK but it was a new experience for me to realize the slowest speed of the staff nurses could reach in performing their job. So inefficient and wasting time of the mothers.
The student nurses were allowed to do their examination without supervision although this was their first time been there. Sigh~
Today we had BKT as lunch. Wow, it was not bad to try new BKT with yam. And the price was cheap as expected. Haha. I will go there to have 2nd try before I leave Banting. Cannot believe it can be such nice taste with yam!! ^^
Dinner was the famous crab mihun in Jenjarum! Wanted to try more seafood there but our thin wallets had alarmed us not to order too much . T_T
I hate that I’m allergic to prawn. If not, sure I will fall in love with Jenjarum. Haiz~~
中秋，月圆的时候，象征着一个家庭的圆满、团圆。
古人取这个意思, 让我们警醒，当有亲人在身边的时候，要好好珍惜，珍惜这浓浓的亲情，彼此互相关怀、照顾，不要等到有一天，缺了一角时，才来后悔。
月，始终缺的多，圆的少，更当珍惜，这月圆、人圆的日子！
人长大了，思想也变得复杂了，没有了儿时的单纯。纯真的孩子心里只有那丰盛的菜肴、香甜可口的月饼以及那月里嫦娥动人的故事。
现在，家人团聚的时光带来的快乐才是那中秋最具有的意义。
童年的时光很美好，无忧无虑，但一去不回；能有的记忆不会遗忘，但却无法再重温。
人总是在反复回忆中去体会得与失，然后再选择需要与放弃。
在外读书这么多年，体会了人情冷暖，但最怀念的还是自己的家乡那轮圆圆的月。
2 days to go...
Banting!!! Here i come...
Really not in the mood of going to Banting.
Although i will come back UM every weekend, but that's not a good one to spend 5 days in a week there.
Heard from the other friends:
-- Have to drive out hunting for lunch and dinner daily
-- Room overloaded with hungry ants. (Well-wrapped food also can't be saved because it is 'permeable' to those stupid ants!!)
-- The worst condition is NO internet!!! How am i going to bear with it?? (Sure many of my MH-ers friends will console me sincerely because of this tragedy..T_T)
Haiz..actually I still can have fun there though lots of con when occupying in Banting.
The only contributing factor to the fullest fun is my dear groupmates.
Will they go Jugra hill, nearest beach and other nice places with me when final exam is only 5 months from now?
Will we have BBQ at the beach there??
Now the limiting factor is MBBS!!! None of us can get rid of it!!
But Banting's posting will become damn boring without those activities..(according to previous groups' opinion)
I want a meaningful Banting posting!!! May I?? My dear groupmates???
Study hard and dun forget to relax ourselves to the optimum!! ^^
Title: ....
Content: ....
?? Because i have no idea what to write.
No time to write.
Not even have time to think what to write.
Because I'm SHORT OF TIME!!!!!!!
Post called...and this was the last in Obs posting.
Something weird happened at 4.30a.m.(try to tell the incidence in layman terms)
A 24 weeks pregnant lady gave birth to a preterm baby when the cervical was not in favourable state (not fully dilated). She suddenly bear down and it was so unpredicted!
A baby born with no spontaneous breath, no active movements, no cry and with eye closure. Bruish colour noted over the right shoulder due to injury during delivery. Not forget to mention it was a breech presentation. (Buttocks comes out 1st before the head)
The weird thing was there was a visible heart beat but it couldn't be auscultated by stethoscope.
According to a Paediatrician, it was a muscle contraction instead of heart beat.
But why the contraction is confined to left chest wall but not a generalised one? 1st question.
The underlying causes of contraction? neurological deficit? electrolyte imbalance? 2nd ques.
Ultrasound before delivery revealed that active fetal heart beat was present..so....? 3rd ques
From clinically examination, the fetus was annouced to death due to extreme prematurity.
The fetus for sure cannot survive although resuscitation is taken place.
But how to explain those weird phenomenons???
Hmm...i dunno, Paediatricians dunno and so far nobody knows as I know.
Straight IV bolus of oldtown white coffee after post called to attend Dr. Siley class..
On-call in Obs was an agony and thanks God this was the last in my medical student's life.
NOT for future doctor's..
Sigh~~~
I hate the feelings of being trapped...
For sure Every1 likes freedom and dislikes being restricted.
Although I hate it but I prefer to be in this predicament forever.
Sounds self torturing.
The problems is I have been trapped in the Holiday Mood!!!
Haiz...Holiday is going to end soon.
Have to face Prof PC Tan within 5 days time.
Tension and be ready for that!
No more long holidays after this.
Still wanna shout out that,
"I like being trapped!!!!"
Mum told me that Bro was washing my car. Again??
My bro treats me so good that he helps me washing my car and even paying the petrol. Having a Bro is really great. Hehe. Of course I have to ‘help’ him to wash my car. That’s the car that I always drive what. It’s my job and NOT his.
Then Bro suggested polishing my car. Haiz… Feeling so lazy to move on.
Polishing car is really consuming energy and time. Although only do once half a year, but still reluctant to start. In a being forced situation, I started the mission impossible with Bro’s aid….
Within 2 hours time, mission accomplished (washing+polishing). Waja looked shiny under the sun. Woohoo…
But it was tiring. Lesson I learned this morning is every task will become easier once you go through the initiating part. So the most difficult thing is the starting point.
Seeing my shiny Waja.. Feeling proud of it...^_^
My relationship with my Bro has been polished as well. Thanks Bro!
