~WeLcoMe To My LIfE~

Went to see my beloved dinda singing with Parpuu last night. Raya was the organiser, there were 3 bands playing, Parpuu, Bleeding Gums and Unplanned. Quite a few of us came, as this show was mainly for friends. Certainly enjoyed myself, although the room was pretty hot, with the spotlight and people and everything. Memang masak lah!!

Oh not to mention I got my 3 minutes of fame singing in front of the audience - thanks to my dinda :p. Aiyooo lah. Nebes I dibuatnya. Orang nyanyi dalam toilet je slalu, tetiba kna panggil plak. Ingat nak nyorok bawah meja je.. tak pun lari klua. Tapi keranamu dinda tersayang, ku turutkan jua (uhuk -  bunyik macam gay laa plak :p)hehehhe. Bukan selalu pun, ye tak?? ahaks.

On a different note, we managed to convince our landlord to let us stay for another month, hence saving us the need to move out just before exams. Alhamdulillah. Adalah sangat lega. There goes one of my worries. Baru je semalam mengadu dengan mak and ayah. Sekarang ni tinggal nak sort out where we can put our stuff during summer break. But that can be arranged, I think, insyaAllah.

Also, I had a weird dream last night, dimana Ija telah di introducekan kepada seorg lelaki yang tak dikenali sbg calon isteri. Uhukkkk.. apakah lah kan. Scary giler!!Oleh itu, terpaksa lah buat perangai supaya tak kena kawen ngan dia. Siap mengamuk baling barang sumer lah!Lawak pun ada jugak. Adoilah!! Nasib baik mimpi je, and thank God, I know my parents would never ever do that.. haiyooo..

thehealthinspector: I’m disturbed! huhh!

Been busy this past few weeks, with work, friends, etc. It was Nisa’s birthday last Sunday, so we went out for a meal at Little Tokyo on saturday night to celebrate. The food was good apart from the baby octopus in our seafood udon and ramen that looks like an alien, and tasted like ‘tayar beskal’ according to Raya; although why he said that was beyond my understanding, as I’m pretty sure that he never tasted a ‘tayar basikal’ before - but I did ask him that and he didn’t answer, maybe dia memang pernah makan tayar beskal kot?? hehhe. Oh and not to mention the lotus  that looks like a terung putih menurut kata  azil, although I don’t remember ever seeing a terung putih before, but that maybe due to my lack of skill in the cooking department. heheh. Anyway, this is the baby octopus in my seafood ramen. Comel tak?? (terus hilang selera nak makan the baby octopus after taking this picture, so bagi kat Raya suruh try :p)

Also went to York with Esan, In and Yat on Sunday as Esan and In wanted to buy some stuff to bring back to Malaysia. Got myself a pretty white skirt and brown top for 8 quid altogether, and a couple of outfits for my beloved Alya, which I’m hopefully going to meet for the first time this coming August, insyaAllah

Monday was pretty cool, as I got the chance to actually be a doctor (with supervision, obviously), as one of the doctors was on paternity leave, and the nurse practitioner was not in, so I’ve got to do the nurse’s list. I wasn’t expecting it, hence wasn’t prepared for it, and the situation got worse when the first patient I saw started having a go at me, and started crying. *omg!!*. I managed to console her; thankfully, and it got much better after that. hehhehh. It was good practice (although they weren’t that interesting; all simple cases of muscle sprains and viral infections - but of course, if they’re too interesting, I wouldn’t know what to do now, would I?? ;p)

Me and Farid also got our accommodation contract on Monday, alhamdulillah. The only problem is that we can only move in on the 10th of July, and our contract finishes on the 30th June. So, no place to live for 10 days. *sigh*. Am still thinking about what we should do, and hopefully, we’ll have something sort out by the end of next week. Huhuhuhu. Adoilaa sakit otak!! Not to mention that exams are just around the corner and I still have shit load of course work to do. Aiyoo!!!

Anyways, weekend is near, and it’s time for me to continue revising. Till then, adios!

Oh and our crazy pictures in York is here.

thehealthinspector: what a nice weather

Hari ini adalah kena sakit jantung seketika. Ini kerana, laptop yang ieja gunakan dengan ihsan dari numan telah dengan tiba-tiba membuat hal dan tidak mahu menyalakan dirinya. Mula-mula, ieja telah membiarkan nye seketika dengan harapan, dia akan kembali pulih seperti sediakala. Tetapi setelah hampir satu jam berehat, dia masih tidak bangun-bangun, dan ieja pun panik. Mula menelefon Ikhsan tetapi hampa kerana dia tak angkat telefon. Jadi Ieja pun tepon adinda yang tercinta (w/pun tahu dia bukannya boleh buat apa-apa heheheh) untuk mengadu kerana Ieja takut nak menelefon Numan. Setelah bercerita dengan Nisa, Nisa suruh menelefon Numan, tetapi tiada jawapan. Huuhuhuhu. Cuaknya saiye!!!! Tak tau nak buat apa lagi, Ieja pun menelefon Fauzi yang sedang tidur. Semasa bercakap dgn Fauzi, Ieja pun cuba lah menghidupkan laptop. Dan dengan penuh magis nya, laptop ini bangun!!! Dan kemudian Ikhsan dan Numan membalas miss call Ieja tadi, tapi masalah dah selesai. (Baru je mengadu dengan Safri, dulu kalau komputer rosak sikit ajer, terus telefon Fauzi suruh dia datang betulkan..hehehhe.. apakan daya sekarang dah tak bleh guna trick tu dah, pasal dia dah takde kat sini..huhuhuhu sob sob). Walau macam mana pun, masalah dengan komputer Ieja telah berjaya diselesaikan, insyaAllah, jadi lepas ni boleh laa pulangkan laptop ni kepada tuan dia.

Itulah sahaja hikayat pada malam Jumaat yang indah ini.

Leeds Aspiration Night pada Hari Sabtu lepas sangat menghiburkan, tapi malas nak cerita di sini. Tengok gamba ni je lah ye.

You Are a Visionary Soul

You are a curious person, always in a state of awareness.
Connected to all things spiritual, you are very connected to your soul.
You are wise and bright: able to reason and be reasonable.
Occasionally, you get quite depressed and have dark feelings.

You have great vision and can be very insightful.
In fact, you are often profound in a way that surprises yourself.
Visionary souls like you can be the best type of friend.
You are intuitive, understanding, sympathetic, and a good healer.

What kind of soul are you?

thehealthinspector: I’m blessed, alhamdulillah

Once upon a time, there was a baby eagle who refused to fly. He was so scared of flying, he decided not to fly at all. All his other siblings tried to convince him, but he still didn’t want to fly. As he got bigger, he became more and more unhappy. He was bored staying in the nest all day. But even then, he couldn’t overcome his fear. The other eagles felt sorry for him, so they tried again to convince him to fly. He refused. He said, he fell down the first time, the tree was so big and high, and it hurt so much, he’s scared to try again. So, he wallow in self-pity, feeling sorry for himself, became more and more unhappy and died of depression.

The point is, eagle is meant to fly. When he’s not flying, he’s not doing what he’s supposed to do, that’s why he became unhappy. It’s true, even if he’s flying, it doesn’t mean that he’ll be happier, but at least, he’s doing something, he’s seeing more things, and he might find something that he’s interested in, other thatn staying in and feeling sorry for himself and depnding on others to take care of him.

..hehehe, this was the story made up from my Psychiatrist Registrar, to get a patient’s husband to understand her condition, hence helping her to take charge of her life. Sweet, eh? And I thought, he read this somewhere. okla.. the last bit yg eagle tu die of depression tu aku tambah sendrik laa :p.

I came across this article today :

Ah Soh: I came to you because my legs swollen only
Dr Liew: Alamak! Since when?
Ah Soh: Long time liao lor.. the Sinseh I’ve been frequenting all this while told me I’m out of his hand and I need to seek alternative medicine. That’s why I come to you.
Dr Liew: Me?? Alternative medicine?? WTF??
Ah Soh: You want to treat me or not???

Hahahhaha… I was trying hard not to laugh in the library today after reading that. I guess, what the writer said about some people considering bomoh and sinseh as their main healers is actually true. I mean, studying here, people go to the Doctors first before they go and seek for alternatives. But in Malaysia, especially in small villages, where doctors are scarce, and bomoh, pawang or sinseh are easily found, no doubt they’ll go to them first before seeing doctors. Not to mention the fear of being injected or ‘cut open’, and the thought of possibly having to take regular medication make people less want to see Doctors. This is especially true in elderly population. Even though they might not particularly like seing bomoh or sinseh, if they were given a choice, they’d go to the bomohs first before seeking ‘alternative’ and see the doctors. Of course, by the time they see the doctors, the condition is already getting so bad, they had to undergo operations and what not. This will then make their friends don’t want to see the doctors. Although to be fair, the situation can increase people awareness and cause people to seek medical advises earlier so that they don’t have to be ‘cut open’.

I guess, this whole ‘real’ or ‘alternative’ medicine issue actually depends on the population. I mean, it’s just so happen that western medicine is the standardised globally use practice, hence other way  of healing people are considered as alternatives.

thehealthinspector: and here I thought I’m learning ‘real’ medicine

Okay, this is actually old news. If you guys wondered why I haven’t updated this poor thing is because my pc decided to die on me. It had enough. Lucky I haven’t started doing anything for my SSC project yet. Kalau tak, sure stress giler lah. Even now, rasa macam bosan sbb tade pc. Although, I’ve to admit, that since I’ve got nothing better to do now that my pc is gone, I get to do more studying and less playing around. Which is good, right? I mean, I’ve got exams in about two months time, and considering our workload, I’ll probably just be able to finish revising just before the exam. Although, based on Roba (one of my coursemates), I’ve already failed the exam as I haven’t worked from the very beginning of the year. Hahhh!! But you can’t lose a battle you haven’t fought, aite?

So my weekend.. Nothing exciting, except that we’ve been busy practising for our performance, and now I can’t get the song out of my head. It even haunted my dream. Speaking of dream.. I had a weird dream last night. Well, takde laa malam sgt, more like after subuh.. heheh. Anyway, I was walking home from somewhere.. or I was walking from home. I think I was on my way to my grandmother’s. The route is like one of the small path in my kampung. Anyway, on the way I met my kakak angkat. Kak Yati, the first and only kakak angkat I’ve got. Somebody wanted to make me her adik angkat later on, I agreed, but then she was jealous of Kak Yati so she sent me a ’surat cerai’. Hahahaha. (mind you this all happened when I was in primary school). Anyway, back to my dream. Yeah, I was walking down the path, and there she was. I ran up to her and hugged her.. I soo miss her. We walked together and arrived at my grandmother’s. Apparently there was some sort of kenduri going on. Tak tau laa kenduri apa, and orang adalah sangat ramai. Went in to the house (masa ni rumah lama lagi - before kena renovate), and there on the stairs, was my first crush. With a broken nose, and a broken arm. Macam baru lepas eksiden, or bergaduh. I dunno. I went to him to asked him to turn the air-conditioning on, we were having a very nice time chatting (or at least I did :p), then I woke up. Cesss. Tak sempat nak ngorat bebetul. Kalau tak bleh laa fulfill my childhood dream…hahahahahahahahahahaha (okay, ini adalah tipu semata-mata, I liked him, but I didn’t realised until much older, that that what it was - a crush. hehehehe - betapa innocent nye saya pada masa itu :p). 

Anyway, I woke up with such a warm feeling, and only a few minutes later I realised that it was only a dream. It was such a nice dream though, and it felt so real (okay here I’m referring to my meeting up with my ‘kakak angkat’ - the part after that is too much to be true.. hohohohoh!), as if I’ve actually met her and talked to her. I guess, she’s the closest of a big sister I’ve got. I dunno what she’s doing now. I don’t think she’s married yet. I heard from my brother that she’s working somewhere in Melaka, but not so sure. Maybe I should find a way to contact her, and who knows I might even be able to contact my old ‘crush’. (and how those two related to each other? I haven’t figured out yet :p) hahahaha.

thehealthinspector: a dream is a wish your heart make.. ;) 

Today has been interesting. I had clinic with Dr Chua in the morning. It was a bit chaotic as she didn’t realised that one of the new Dr is coming today, hence she had to sort him out before her clinic. Anyway, the first consultation went well. Then we had a lady with hearing impairment. She was supposed to have a BLS interpreter with her, but for some reason, there weren’t any. Luckily one of the staff know how to use sign language, although he wasn’t very fluent at it, and we managed to do the consultation with the help of pen and paper. (If it were me, I won’t even be thinking of using pen and paper..betapa slow dan tidak kreatif nya saya dalam menyelesaikan masalah :p)

Then we had another couple of patients who speaks Urdu and didn’t speak much English, so basically there was only one English consultation today.

Then, I went to the Psychiatric Ward in Lynfield Mount Hospital. My first time being there, and the weirdest thing happened. Tian Ling was standing in front of the reception with one Asian lady. I approached them, and this lady started asking my name, and asking my age and stuff. She kept holding my hand after every sentence, and gave me hi-5. At first I though she was one of the staff, but after a few mins, I realised that she’s actually one of the patient. I don’t really mind talking to her, and me trying to be nice and all, I just melayan her lah. When she put her hand on my shoulder, I started to feel a bit awkward and I knew I had to get away. Soon. The thing is, I didn’t want to offend her, and I wasn’t really sure how to react. huhuhu.. Siap ajak tour ward lagi. Adalah cuak seketika.. tskk.. Luckily, the nurse came back with the patient that we were supposed to see, so she let me go. pheww!!

thehealthinspector: I will never ever do psychiatry.

I’ve got an appointment with the optician this morning and got myself a new specs - the specs here are so freaking expensive, even with the NHS voucher, so had to settle for the standard free lenses - mintak2 orang tak perasan laa spec ku tebal sebelah. *sigh*. Am thinking of changing to the thinner lenses once I’m back in Malaysia. I went alone, and since Ija adalah tak reti pilih spec mata sendiri, terpaksalah percaya cakap mamat yang jual spec tu. So, if my new specs look awful, it’s all his fault. hohoho. But I think he was quite sincere. heheh :p

Anyways, had a very good week. I skived on Friday. And since I’m too lazy to do anything, asked my kanda to give me a hair cut. Hehehe.. suka!! so sekarang Ieja berambut baru, yeay!!! Thanks to my kanda kuda :p. Then Wada called at about 630pm ajak gi main bowling. Poor Jiejah had to wait in town for an hour before we made our way to see her (Wada laa mandi lama giler LOL). Arrived at the bowling place about 845pm, tapi kena tunggu since they were having some sort of tournament going on. So we spent the next 45 mins playing air hockey, and dancing. Hahaha. Gila cacat lah aku rasa diri sendiri menari. heheh. It was good fun though :D.

Wada came over Saturday untuk belajar, but didn’t really discuss anything since we were busy making notes. Then semalam Jiejah came and joined us (sebab dia nak menjauhkan diri dari komputer dan katil..teehee). Maka bermulalah sesi diskusi, beginning with Jiejah asking questions about fertility and stuff, pastu campur dgn peads dan soklan-soklan Gynae. Then Yat datang, dan dia pun terheret sama untuk belajar, although dia baru je habis exam last Friday. Hohohoh. Dia pulak yang stress jadik cikgu. Terpaksa mengajar orang-orang yg slow ini memahamkan konsep acid-base yang dipelajari sejak beberapa tahun yang lampau tapi tak pernah berjaya difahami. Well, actually I thought I got a grip on it while I was doing anaethetics, but since tade practice since then, I forget and got confused untuk kesekian kalinya. Hahaha. Let’s hope it truly stick this time. And to Yat, jasa mu dikenang hihih

Pastu, bila dah belajar macam lapar laa pulak, so we ordered a massive family size pizza (Yat was having trouble trying to get the pizza through the door :p), dan makan sambil sambung diskusi hingga hampir pukul 3 pagi. Giler kagumlah dengan diri sendiri. I hope whatever we discussed yesterday will stay in my tiny little brain cells and can be taken out whenever I deemed necessary (ie when one is being asked by one’s GP or consultant, and of course during exams and for lifetime benefit, insyaAllah..aminnnn). They ended spending the night over. It’s been ages since we actually spend any time together, due to everyone’s tight schedules, plus this time it’s purely educational compared to before - and I mean PURELY, there weren’t any gossiping at all - hang on, eh, we could actually spend time together without gossiping. Impressive, don’t you think? I never realised we could actually do that!!! hahahaha. Bravo, bravo!!:p

Oh yeah, I called Mala on Saturday.. and we were bitching about some homo sapien (although towards the end I was feeling rather hungry, so had to stop the conversation :p - sorry babe!). It was good to talk to you, and hope you’re feeling much better now

thehealthinspector: true friends are like diamond, precious and rare, bad friends are like autumn leaves - found everywhere

saatku merasa kau yg paling terindah dalam hidupku
secerah langit di angkasa
kau terangi hari-hariku yg gelap

kupikir kaulah segalanya yg terbaik yg pernah kucinta
namun apa hendak di kata
untuk kini aku terpaksa memilih

dan aku harus jujur padamu
sementara dirimu dustai aku

pergilah dariku bila itu bisa
puaskan hatimu kasih biarlah
mungkin diri ini selalu jauh dari cinta

seiring waktu berjalan kutemukan sebuah arti hidup
mungkin ini satu pertanda
bahwa diriku memang harus memilih
