Another half an hour

I would call it an end to my 24th anniversary of my life

16.12.2011

Jolted from slumber by a super early 'morning' call at about 12am

the earliest ever phone wish I received

Thanks, Hoo SM for surprising me!

16.12.2011

A usual working day for me

until I found it interesting when

I received a slice of cake from a group of PRPs

with wishing card

and

I was surprised by my two colleagues,

one distracted my attention from

another one that was trying hard to light up candles on birthday cake.

But they in vain.

Anyway, I appreciated a lot for their efforts, making a big surprise for me!

Thanks, Cindy, Corinne! Not to forget dude that shared the cake, Alex and Siew Ping!

16.12.2011

Another call here

right before I finished my movie in cinema

from my secondary school mates

Lee CH, Yong KL, Ong MY, Mah YS, Wong TS, Cheah KH, Cheng SK

(Hope I didn't miss out anyone of you!! Sorry if I did)

unfortunately, my phone battery died

Finding so hard to get phone lending my friend around

Receiving wishes one by one from them

It reminded me the same memory a few years ago

where the almost same group of them called to me

just like today

16.12.2011

I was waiting

waiting for phone call from mum and brother

I felt frustrated after finishing my movie

I phoned mum purposely

yet, she didn't know it was my birthday.

I hinted her only then she realised

Brother called a while after I ended call to mum

'I wished in FB and SMS already.'

Anyhow, I appreciated his call in the end as

he gonna work for night shift and had to rest in daytime

16.12.11

It was over.

Finished my reply for wishes in FB.

Another brand new day is awaiting me.

For the moment

I still remembered how reluctant I was when obtained posting in Sarawak

and it was last year.

People

play

eat

drink

and

grow up together with his or her companions

This is how people develop relationship (of intimate one for friendship) among each other

And there is such a feeling that

makes me to give up my appeal going back West

It appears to me that I started to accept the reality of staying back here

I miss my friends here

I miss every corner of this hospital

I miss anything and everyone here.

Yeah, for the moment, it seems so true for me that

it is a good opportunity

to spend the time before I am leaving for postgrads

at here

Perhaps,

I am not ready to leave my group of friends and neighbour here

for the moment.

Life=Work

Getting slowly that

my work has integrated into part of my routine life

Working more than the usual

even on public holidays and weekends

I seemed not really care about my personal time

rather,

I put most of my time on work

helping the others when necessary

It is a good thing

which I do not find it annoyed

but I feel willing to do so

as I believe I have the obligation & responsibility

to play a greater role

Our profession

yet not recognise as profession in public

And it is high time to wake us up

to stand for our profession

Let's not to be too calculative on any extra work

you may not get to see the results after your intervention

Yet, patient himself will really appreciate a lot in his own heart

and you may not know this

Let's cheer every moment you sharing with patients

and to let them know, We are ready to help them

I found somehow I am in this stage now

a workaholic - not the typical type

but really appreciate our profession

and contribute your love for the sake of patients

So far

What is wrong with me recently?

I can feel the groggy self-conflict

I should avoid it

Yet, why am I so concerned on this matter?

I asked myself again and again

I think my biggest problem would be

the fact that I can't face the reality

and I always count the chickens before they hatch

Shall I sit still and wait the haze to go off by itself?

Or I should take initiative to disclose the secret behind the curtain of haze

Again,

I lost my way

I always need guidance

yet I don't like to others to intrude into my private insight

So far

am I so good?

Of Angry Bird

I think I am slowly developing or transforming myself to

ANGRY bird

not this usual type

but of fierce one like this

Cute :) though

I just can't control well myself

when I am getting angry

I will release it out stat.

though I know I should not do that.

I feel sorry to those people

if I yelled, shouted, or by any means which may make you annoyed

I should think of a way to take well control of my temper

Wanna get rid of turning myself into the so-called angry bird

I would behave myself better,

I promised.

My days ahead

Ultimately, it comes.

going to start my clinical attachment soon

which has been long being tagged as the most busiest station in PRP life

And IELTS, too, is awaiting me in August.

gonna get my english polish within these few months

The story doesn't end here.

BTN course (Biro Tatanegara), a must for those local going for postgraduates

in foreign country and taking government scheme

Anyway, gonna get my application stuff being done asap.

Long path to go!

Kimchi fever

Since my last visit to Seoul,

I had fell in love with Kimchi,

a fermented vegetable with seasonings

Yet,

I have been looking around for the main ingredients,

Korea chillies powder

A short visit to Singapore

brings me such a surprise that I accidentally found it

in a korea store.

Without hesitating,

I searched online,

asked from people who made it before,

cooking books

Finally I got my own recipe from website

An easy way to make the most important ingredient

Kimchi paste

The taste of kimchi solely depends on

what base you use to put on it

My first Apple

Soon I gonna have my very own Ipad

Rather

I would call it *Ipet*

Anticipating

and ready to bring my first Apple product

into my life.

Call

It was a deep silent night

my phone rang

and realised it gonna be a big deal!

Without hesitation,

I picked it up

It was hospital operator!

What came across my mind is PCM toxicity

Yet, the doctor started to say:

'Hello, may I know who is on the line?'

'Pharmacist Goh here'

'We have one patient here need to do TDM. Patient took 25 tablets of PCM'

While our conversation had not finish yet

my worries came in

'Am I going be alone walking down to hospital?'

Oh NO!!

I started to tidy myself

and hesitating to call for accompany

Yet, I ended up by going alone

It was scary

anyway, it was a great experience for me!

I didn't even wonder I would have such a big courage..

Kuey teow and Mee

It was a really annoying yet funny situation I encountered this evening

while I was ordering for my dinner in a hawker center in Sibu

Looking at the menu hanging on the wall of the stall,

the conversation began with:

来老板，你要吃什么？ 'What you want to order?'

炒粿条面 'Fried kuey teow mee.'

She suddenly stared at me and stopped her work in hand

粿条面？ 'Kuey teow mee?'

你要粿条还是面？ 'You want kuey teow OR mee?'

I insistingly said

粿条面 'Kuey teow mee'

She felt a bit annoyed, me too

你要mee kahwin是吗？ 'You want mee kahwin orh?'

'Mee kahwin?' -- a new word in my own 'dictionary'

是不是粿条掺面？ 'Keuy teow mixed with mee larrr'

Ok。。。Ok。。。给我一盘 'Okay...okay...give me one'

I went back to my seat

and started thinking back

'Kuey teow + mee is not kuey teow mee?'

From here, you can see the differences between West M'sia and East M'sia

the same thing may

have different name

or

totally have different look/presentation

I want my Kuey teow mee goreng!!

Pending trips

It was a fantastic week though workload for this week was a bit heavy.

Staying back till 4am for booking air ticket was really an unforgettable experience

Still remember this Tuesday very very early morning

together with me is my colleague here, Charles

stayed alert together in my place for booking air ticket

Yet, Airasia really makes our dreams come true with offer of cheap air ticket

where EVERYONE can fly!

I was one of the lucky guys

who able to book for two trips:

To Yogjakarta-Bandung-Jakarta

and

To Cambodia-Vietnam

And, there was another trip to Hong Kong and Macau awaiting me this June

which I booked earlier, a family trip

Hope to gain some experience through these trips

which would change my perception towards the world

in which I would able to close to two of the seven wonders of the world

Angkor Wat and Borobudur

Essay Writing

WHAT CAN A NEW PHARMACY GRADUATE CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS THE PHARMACY PROFESSION?

A title which sounds nice

but the range of writing is too wide

That is the title for

MPS-CCM Gold Medal Award for the best pharmacy student of the year

Somehow, this is not the criteria of getting the award

What I should write for a essay with 3 A4 pages long with Arial font of 11?

Give me some ideas.

What was I busy with?

Before my blog get dusted,

I should report here

that what really I was busy with for the past few weeks?

Especially last week.

Again, I hope the following pictures would express what I would like to say about.

Since this few weeks, I was working on 5S(seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shitsuke) stuff.

Basically, it is all about decoration,

preparing the parcels and 3-D symbol of 1 Malaysia

These stuff are going to used for the ceremony of launching of UMP1M

'Ubat Melalui Pos 1 Malaysia'

People like to do things in the last minutes,

I was given order to do these stuff for this station last Monday

while me myself was in another station

running here and there

made my day exhausted

Between, there was misunderstanding among us

since we were in different stations

which made things worst

And everything was delayed to last Wednesday,

where I managed to finish all those stuff (parcel and 3-D model) in 2hours plus

right before 5pm.

The work didn't stop here,

for the last two working days,

contributing my time for the decoration after office hour

Again, people don't take initiative to take care of the place unless when someone is going to visit your place,

Working out for the board took me another two days,

with the help of some seniors and friends here

finally, it was done, in a rush.

I need a plan

I have a lot of things to do

I need a plan
