Geleng kepala

Semalam duduk mengeteh dengan kawan di S******* (Ana,im sure u can guess this place =p)

Mata sungguh sakit melihat adik-adik yang baru kenal dunia melepak-lepak.

Kalau lepak je xpe.

Setiap seorang, rokok sebatang di tangan.

Tak kenal jantina,berkepul-kepul asap keluar.

SESAK

I've been home for about 5 weeks now. One word to describe Malaysia : SESAK

Dalam rumah sesak,
penuh dengan barang disumbat-sumbat.

Di jalan raya sesak,
penuh dengan kereta yang suka berasak-asak.
Semua orang nak berkerata,
tapi sayang tak semua nak bertimbang rasa.

Di kaki lima sesak,
penuh dengan manusia yang suka menolak-nolak.
Orang Malaysia memang pelembut,
tapi suka sangat berebut-rebut.
Ajak orang buat reformasi,
tapi diri tak mahu toleransi.

Di warung kopi sesak,
penuh dengan asap yang keluar dari tekak.
Tak ada lagi segan silu,
biarpun yang buat itu gadis melayu.
Asap hitam aku sedut,
Lama-lama dadaku semput.

Dalam bangunan sesak,
Semua orang suka melepak.
Tak apa kalau mahu berehat,
ini tidak, kacau orang terpekik melalak.

Dalam sungai dan laut pun sesak,
ikan, ketam, siput pun tak dapat bergerak.
Sampah sarap penuh selerak,
Warna dari kopi susu terus jadi hitam macam si gagak.

I'm missing my previous life! Saya masih anak jati Malaysia. I do hope you are here for good, as you are one of those who are making my life more alive!

Psychiatry

This year is a psych year...ever!
I've been doing psych attachment for more than 2 months!
Even longer than O&G, Medicine and Surgery!
Yet, I still be in this blankness and perplexity.

Funny how people afraid to judge others when they've been asked to but willfully judge people in subconscious state.

In judging others, we expend energy to no purpose...But if we judge ourselves, our labour is always to our profit.

Thomas a Kemphis

Ya Rabb, grant me the strengths!

Procrastination

Such a big and sophisticated word for laziness!

********************************************
Too many things had happenned over this week.
The expected and unexpected ones.

What ever happen,
we know,
we must not forfeit.

As this is only one of zillion hurdles
we have to jump,
before reaching our destinations (where ever they may be).

Al-Qamar

Malam bulan dipagar bintang
Makin indah jika dipandang
Bagai gadis beri senyuman
Pada bujang idaman

Duhai kasih ingin dimanja
Dengan cumbuan mesra
Untuk pelipurlara
Penawar dik asmara

Malam bulan dipagar bintang
Tambah seri cuaca malam
Murni sungguh ciptaan Tuhan
Bulan bintang lampu alam

Andai kata bintang menyepi
Bulan tidak berseri
Malam menjadi sunyi
Tidak berseri lagi

Wah,semenjak dua menjak ni,lagu sahaja di sini ye =)

Anyway, last night was rather unusual night. I slept with moon staring right at me. Living in the 5th floor,gives me the advantage of that! Unfortunately,this barking cough I'm having for weeks now has woken me up,disturbing my beauty sleep.Anyway, I shouldn't be complaining this hard,should I?

p.s: the lyric isn't so beautiful.Tidak bagus untuk diambil ikhtibar,ye!

What is life nowadays?

With all the wars happening (I mean a real big war,not neighbour war), funny why we're still not appreciating life as we should!



Is this half empty or half full glass?

How do you live your life?

How would you treat a complete stranger?

Is everybody good until proven otherwise or are they bad until proven otherwise?

October


Bulan baru- rotation baru. Mood baru, kesibukan baru. Semua pun baru. Motivation still same old-same old. Haih~

Tak sanggup lagi aku
Mengenang kisah lalu
Keganasan menghantui diriku
Biarkan ia pergi
Menjadi suatu misteri
Bagaikan tiada hati yang peduli
Tidak mahu ku ingat lagi
Apa yang telah terjadi
Tragedi Oktober
Sesalan aku hanya untukmu sayang
Ampunilah segala dosa-dosaku
Tidak sengaja aku mengasari dirimu
Bagiku kau bukanlah lawanku
Kekasihku...
Hanya satu ku pinta
Kujujuran darimu
Berilah peluang hidupmu
Aku rela bersama
Meranjau onak duka
Agar berkekalan hendaknya


Lagu ni popular masa darjah 5. Tiap kali Oktober dtg,mesti lagu ni jadi siulan.

Also I like this song-by U2:


October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care
October
And kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on

October also is the most imporant month for politicians- those in US and Aetearoa.
Especially for Helen Clark's team and John Key's team- this is the month that they need to sell all the new policies, before the election; 8th Nov 08.

ps: Obviously, our politics are much more interesting then theirs =p



Current PM - Helen Clark from Labour


'1% Kiwi Saver and Tax' man - Mr. John Key from National

What I Like About You 3



As many people having such unhappy days recently, maybe this ad could help to lift you up!


Smile though your heart is aching;
Smile even though it's breaking.
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by.
If you smile through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow,
You'll see the sun come shining through for you.

Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you just smile.

Lyrics by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons.
Music written by Charlie Chaplin, 1936.

This song is quite famous.If you google this, you can find many versions sung by big names like MJackson, Nat King Cole, Barbara Streisand, Robert Downey Jr and my fav of all, Josh Gorban.

p.s: of course this is one of the collection of NZ ad. This one is for AMI insurance =)

What I Like About You 2

Another nice ad I've seen in TV. Not quite sure whether this is only local or worlwide.And this ad won the best ad of the year 2008. Im not 100% agree with the Kiwis. Come on, there's more than this monkey bussiness!

What I Like About You

WILAY is one of my favourite series. Amanda Bynes is one of the main actress in that sitcom. And I think Val in that story is similar if not the same as myself...hehehhe...and Im hoping one day I'll have my own version of Vic...hahahha...

Enough with Lalaland, feet right back on the ground!

As we are counting days (we becoz it's not only me who does it =p ) to 'sayonara-ing' Aotearoa, these are a few things that I will be missing soon about this little land.

1. I really like ads here. They are funny, yet meaningful. Some ads I cant really understand at all, then I have to ask Melor.She is really good at interpreting tv's ads.

2. Having a fresh milk for my morning coffee. Fresh milk seems so luxurious back home. Here, it is necessity.Well it's true what the ad said about NZ - beribu juta lembu! (I have proved you the power of ad!)
3. The air is very fresh!I used to walk along Lambton Quay every morning. Lambton Quay is quite a full on area, it's in the heart of Wellington CBD. Yet, you can still feel the freshness of the breeze, even at 1 o'clock in the afternoon!


4. It's really safe to cross roads here. It's because they make full use of the zebra crossing and traffic lights. As simple as that!
That's all I can think of at the mo. Im not stimulated to brainstorming at present. Well, here's one of the cool ads from Aotearoa.

Too Posh To Push

Ha, this entry is very related to the run that I am currently doing; O&G.

Another a week and 3 days to go, before I say goodbye to the ladies and pregnant mummies and say hola to general medicine.Something that I dont really look forward to actually. I dont particularly enjoy this run, but I have to say, it is quite interesting.I dont think I would do anything with gynae or obstretic in my future career but for locum, why not! This area of speciality is too emotional for me;good and bad emotional.

1. From my observations, women in labour are the nastiest creature in the world.They can be as mad as the Joker;or even worst than that. They have no mercy. I feel sympathy for the husbands or their partners have to put up with them.I think this is not acceptable.Even though they are in unsurpassable pain, they have no right to be rude to the husbands.One lady said to her husband, "You dont know what Im going through.You are responsible for this. You fucking man!I will never do this again. You bastard!" I mean, seriously woman.Do you have to be that nasty!Your husband did nothing. He just told you to keep pushing, in a very gentleman way!Does he deserve such words, just because you are in labour? I dont think so!Well, as we expected, the minute baby popped put, it's all one big happy family!So, is the hormone that we should put the blame on? LAME! In fact, the progesterone should make women calmer, it acts as tranqualizer in pregnancy. Surprise, surprise!


2. When you are having the contraction, the widwife (or the husband, or the observing Trainee Intern) will ask you to push as hard as you can. Sometimes, the baby isnt out, but the poopoo is. That is so embarrassing. Usually when I saw that 'yuck' face from the husband or from the lady herself, my respond would be, " Hey look,you are having a baby now. You need to push, and you are allowed to pooping at the same time. In fact, that is what we want. At least we know you try very hard with the pushing. Well done you! We want more of those! (Then, I give them a BIG SMILE)". Really??? I dont think I would buy what I just said to them. I could not take the embarrassment of doing your bussiness number 2 in front of people.Obviously not in front of my other half!

3. I am so impressed with husbands out there who are very supportive and loving. They have been a very good support for their wives or partners. You just cant believe what men can do,aye. They look so though, and emotionless.Yet, when it comes to caring and sharing, they become so gentle! Haih~

4. I also observed partners that just dont give a damn.Sometimes, the labour can take ages! Especially with the first time mom, or a very small (Asian) young mom.You can tell the husband had enough of waiting and screaming.They are too tired of waiting, hearing the galloping noise of the continous CTG for monitoring baby's heart rate.The sleepless nights that they have been through and the annoying things that the wife had done to them...owh, they just cant have it anymore!Or, they just dont know what to do, or they dont know how to support their wives. A simple as that. So, each time I saw that situation, I will try to encourage the husband to participant with the labour. Tell him to massage her hands, or her back. Keep telling her to breathe properly, pushing as hard as she can and keep telling her that she has been so goood,she is doing a very good job and we are so proud of her!Just shower the lady with encouragement and good words,man!.Sometimes I do get frustated when they just dont want to do anything.All they want is the baby to be out!Come on, your wife is not a baby's factory!

5. Most women with prolapse that I saw in clinic had previous history of more than 3 vaginal deliveries. Now you know what 'pushing' can affect your 'flower'.


6. All these valuable experiences make me think about the sacrifices and pain that our mother had been through. With world nowadays, I dont think it's worth to risk your life and to feel the pain when at the end, your own baby will be your own enemy. My point is, I dont think I am the best daughter in the world, but I am trying to be as good as I can. I cannot guarantee if my children could be at least as good as I am and if they dont, I would be the most unfortunate person in this world. (Well, who can tell what lies in the future,aye?) I dont know whether with labour, I could turn to monster and inevitably hurt the feeling of person that I loved most (giving the way I am, it is very likely for me to be that...hahhahahhah). Also I dont want to soil myself while in the process of pushing my baby out.It is horrible and humiliating (eventhough I say to ppl it is alrite). With given points, obviously at present I dont think I would be able to have my baby vaginally. Personally, I think vaginal delivery could jeapordise the marriage (well, literally...hehehhe)

Enough said; I am too posh to push! (well, at least for this moment of time. Who knows, it turns out that I am a heck of baby pusher!...hahahhaha)

Dirty Little Secret

I'll keep you my dirty little secret,
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
Just another regret, hope that you can keep it
My dirty little secret
Who has to know!

Nuha just let me read her Postsecret Book collection. I just knew that there's such thing in this world-where people create postcards unleashing their secrets to public. They are very creative; revealing many hopes, fears and strange confessions. 

Best juga kalau sekali sekala orang hantar poskad tanpa nama kat kita,kan? (Well, I dont like the idea of that,it will give me sleepless nights!

Everybody has their own little secret.

What's my secret?

If I tell you, then I have to kill you...

Then another secret will be created =) 

Shhhh...

The strom is coming!

Sir, you need to evacuate now! Your house is not safe anymore. We give you only 10 minutes, sir.


Last week NZ dilanda ribut. The storm caused a number of casuality. I listened to the news, telling that this 1 family needed to be exacuated within 10 minutes.

Kalau anda di tempat kejadian, dalam masa sepuluh minit,apa yang digapai?

Diriku?

-----10 minutes start now... Tik tok tik tok (background music: 4 Minutes by Madonna and JT)



Passport kena cekau dulu,kang tak boleh balik Malaysia.

Wallet sebab ada credit card dan segala jenis card yang menganduni duit.

Celly kena ambil, senang nak berhubung dengan orang karang. Dah ambil Celly,jgn dilupa chargernya.Tak berguna kalau ada Celly xda baterikan?

Ambil beg roda tu, punggah baju dalam wardbrobe sumpat selagi boleh. Kasut sukan kena bawa,kang nak berlari senang.

Gumboot dalam bilik air pun kena bawa juga.Kalau kena meredah air bah,nanti tak basah. Dah duduk dalam bilik air, cekau juga toilettries mana yang patut.Kang takdalah kebersihan diri tak dijaga pula.
Twinny my laptop bawa sekali, Chichi pun kena juga.Mahal tu beli diaorg.

Sleeping bag...tu penting tu!


-----5 minutes more.... (by this time dah penat dah berlari...)


Ke dapur, ambil makanan yang instant. Bekas air kena ambil,sbb saat2 genting mcm ni, air paling berharga. Biskut2 apa yang ada, roti expired pun sapu juga. Just in case~

Sebelum keluar,make sure diri serba lengkap.Jangaqn keluar2,tudung pula lupa pakai.Adoi, dah naya.

Time's up!

[Rasa-rasanya boleh survive seminggu ni kot,kalau kena evacuate. Well done.]

(Tapi kalau ada emergency macam ni, saya akan ke hospital punya~ kena membantu)


---This family, the wife managed to grab almost everyhting from her bedroom in 10 min, the son also did the same. The husband? Well, he just got back from work, too overwhelmed with the 10 minutes warning, he didnt manage to grap anything~ " I wish I could grab my beer,I need it so badly now". Beer je yang dia nak?Haiyyo!

Wishlist

Seems like many Srikandis have changed their title - to Puan...

So, Kelab Puan-Puan bertambah ahli, kelab Cik-Cik berkuranglah pula!

Anyway, girls...this list will help to save your time finding presents for my wed..(insyaAllah kalau ada satu =p )

1. Washing machine (kalau boleh ada dryer sekali, just in case masa bulan tengkujuh.)
2. Dryer machine (kalau tak sekali dgn yg 1)
3. Sofa bed (nanti senang juga kat korang kalau datang umah,nak bermalam.Tak yah rent motel or hotel.Malam tu, boleh kita catch up;pillow talk or bak kata Unai,mesyuarat tingkap =p )
4. Dish washer (orang mmg kata ini membasir,tapi kita kena fikir masa2 kecemasan.Kalau suami isteri busy,siapa yang nak basuh pinggan tu?Kalau tak basuh,ada la yang start membebel.Dah buka radio,haih,habisla perang kecil meletus.Ha,kang elok psychological effect for having dishwasher ni...tangan pun maintain lembut,xdela cik abg bising2 )

Hmm,ni je yang aku wish korang.Tak banyak pun. Korang ada berapa org? Srikandi ada 143. Tu yang generallah.Yang super rapat...xkira lagi...My family from NZ?kome, jgn lari eh...hehehhe

(Kesimpulannya, tgh kebosanan.Maka,kemerepekan pun melanda. Excuse my improper use of Bahasa =p )

New Home


Haih,lama sangat tak menulis ni. Berkulapak blog ni!
New beginning at a new place.

Ana is obsessively talking about her basic skill deficits. I reckon each one of us pun ada syndrome ni jugak, betul tak?Like me, ayooo,kalau listkan Ana,I think we just about the same. I am no surprise if my list is longer than yours tau! (Ana is now in Malaysia...sangat iri hati =( no lah,Im happy for you!) ---------Ana, we are going older!And we are learning new skills everyday!

Duduk sorang2; cocktail of feelings. Sometimes I feel relief, sometimes feel blessed, sometimes lonely and bored (maybe most of the time!), sometimes feel peaceful,afraid,anxious etc.You named it,everything is there!

Keluar pagi,jalan ke terminal bus,tunggu bus.Habis kerja pukul 5,tunggu bus setengah jam.Kadang-kadang dalam hujan.Sampai rumah,buka tv,tgk berita.Masak dinner,selalunya beli =) Baca-baca buku, tido. Setiap hari rutin yang sama. Bosan? Surprisingly not. Because I know,next year this will be my life.For how long,I dont know.Maybe life would be more chaotic than now.

Que Sera Sera, What Ever Will Be, Will Be!

Kaboom, accident!

What a weekend!
We were supposed to meet Aza and PakLong over at Maktam's place, Oamaru.
Nothing as what we planned.
Aza and PakLong had an accident-Aza was sent to Christchurh Hosp by copper, fractured her proximal and distal tibia, also her calcaneous. Big haematoma on her left eye! Seriously, you look like a racoon, Aza! hehhehe
Anyway, dalam sakit-sakit tu pun, sempat lagi kasi my present. Ayoo...

"Derq, ambiklah hadiah ko tu, kat tingkap tu. sebabkan hadiah ko ni la kaki aku patah.aku bersusah selamatkan..."

Serius je Aza ni.
Tapi seriusla, tengok kotak tu. Penyek!Kesan dihenyak kaki Aza. (Aza stucked in the car.People had to call firemen to help her out!)
Gambar tak boleh nak upload lagi.

SEMOGA AZA DAN PAK LONG CEPAT SEMBUH!

Love you guys both!
Terima kasih daun keladi! Hadiah itu sungguh saya sukai!!!!
