The last day of 2010

Initially, there was a plan for a picnic at Gem Beach. Cancelled. Okayy.

Met up with Lyn and G. Went to temple at Kg. Cina and had our prayer there. *pray for a blessed year ahead*  Tengah makan-makan kat Mdm Bee, beeeep, "sotong at 4?" Yes. Of course. Sure.


And that was my very first time to Pantai Teluk Ketapang. A great end of 2010.
The waves hit against the rocks. It's monsoon season!

We love the sea!

hui mou yi xiao =D


Lastly,
Cute bee bee. =)

Weekend!

After my ward round with the energetic-and-never-get-tired Prof. from Paediatrics on Friday, I called and sms-ed him, hinting him Hey, let's go now!  ................................................................................................................................... No responses. Fine

After 2 hours( 2 hours ehh!), only then he called back. He was sleeping and luckily he was able to wake up before the night came. hoho. There we went, to TARC, attending an EQ workshop organised by his society. I considered my presence is a very crucial one, or else you could only have 25 people attending, instead of 26. hahaha. But I think they should make some improvement on the games. hmmmm.

Ended at 9.15pm, stomach started growling. Duh. The three gentlemen let me decide of  what to eat. Steamboat BBQ!! Good thing about guys, they do not comment/complain/grumble much about food. As long as there is something enter their mouth and roll along the esophagus and finally, fill their stomach, they are contented. Yes? No?
I never take pictures. Sigh. Should learn to take some.

Next morning, had Bak Kut Teh for brunch. We always love Bak Kut Teh, and we are always gaining weight. =/   At 3pm, went to Fabulous Food 1Malaysia, thanks to his friends who certainly can eat a lot and bought a table-full of food, I gained even more weight now. I like the chilly pan mee the most! Too bad, my tummy did not allow any further entry, or else I would love to get myself another one. sigh.
Next stop, JJ Kepong. Actually I intended to grocery shop, but we ended up watching this movie.
Errr. To me, this movie is a big No-No. Errrr, not worth watching. It is a little too much crappy. Guess who is the main character? The guy whose the picture at right upper quadrant. I thought Eric Tsang is the main charac, who knows he actually appeared for only 15 mins! or maybe less...Even Xiao Xiao Bing's picture is larger and alluring than the main character's. (FYI, Xiao Xiao Bing appeared for...errr...3 mins?) I noticed the picture of the main character is actually there only when finished watching the movie. So pathetic.

Ok. Then. Tummy was making noise. Again. Ordered fried rice and noodles and makan! Now only I know, I can eat a lot. Oh, that is certainly not a thing to be proud of. ARGH.

Sunday morning! Alright, I missed it. I actually woke up at 12pm. Blame on the monthy thing, it made me lethargic. And we had brunch, again. That's so unhealthy. Western pan mee. My first Western pan mee and guess it is going to be the last too. (idontlike >,<)

Went to Selayang Mall. My very first time there. Too crowded and the air-cond seemed dysfunction. Despite of the warmth and sweat, I managed to get something for my Dad. Happy! =)

Good. Stomach always makes noise at the right time. Dinner time! Oh, no pictures ehh. Next time, must take at least 1 or 2. Remind me,plss

Due to his purpose, we went to Wangsa Walk Mall. Again, it was my first time there. It looks huge from outside. Anticipated. But once stepping in, I don't really like the organisation/arrangements/whatsoever. It looks crowded and he said, the shops are mostly targeting on the 友族 customers. Indeed, saw a lot of ying du ren and ma lai ren. But, there are wide varieties of eateries. Subway, Popeye's etc etc kept wandering front of me. I was grateful I was able to control my crave for more food. Fuhhh. Must control!

Back to hostel at 11pm. Tired but contented. =)  Thank cute!

Precious life

Had a surgical ward round in the morning today. We were asked to go to 5U ward which is the Neuroscience ward. Deeply, I was pretty excited because I always assume that anything related to Neuro thingy is often interesting. Dr. Kalai, a Neurosurgeon, judging from his outfit with " Dewan Bedah" on it was our coordinator.

We went to see quite a number of patients and I realized almost everyone of them is in a rather critical condition. A patient can have tracheotomy, BP cuff, cannulas on both hands to administer saline into her body, a very prominent surgical scar on head, pallor etc etc. The ventilator is always standby at the side. They are mostly lying on bed with only half consciousness, their eyes are half-opened and couldn't respond to any external stimulus. Dr. also brought us to see a more chronic patient.The patient is only known as 'unknown', never knew UM hospital is willing to accept a patient with an unknown identity. He is constantly administered with soya-based tranquilizer because his body cannot tolerate with even a slight normal body metabolism. Dr. Kalai then showed us his head. Firstly, I could only see a small bulging at right side of his head. Then, Dr. asked somebody to gently press on both of his right and left side of head, and compared the difference. The right side one, it looks very tender when pressed, while the left side one, looks normal. Actually, half of his skull has been removed to reduce his intracranial pressure. The brain is just underneath his scalp. Oh gosh, I could not imagine how if something hard, or not too hard unpurposely hit his head.

Then, went to see the most heartbreaking one, a 13 year-old kid. He was lying unconsciously. Dr. was just briefly explaining to us. He has a bedsore on his sole due to prolonged immobility. Guess his backside is severely affected with even more bedsores since backside is the more prone to get one.

Then we called it a day. Dr. and others had left, leaving only me and the other 2 labmates in that kid's wardroom. Then came a middle aged woman, claiming the kid is her friend's son. A very friendly woman, from her, only we know the kid has been lying on the bed since last June. It has been almost half a year!!! It was a tragic car crash in Kuantan that took away  the lives of every member of the family and the small boy was the only survivor. And we were also told that his cervical skull has been removed. And he got fracture at his pelvic bone. Does the kid know all his family has left him? Will the kid be able to back to his normal life again?

If I am given a choice, I would rather leave this world together with my loved ones than being left alone. But, he told me, 小男孩能继续生存是他家人留下的唯一希望。hmmmmmm

Those people who committed suicide and those intended to do so, I suggest they should go on a brief tour in hospital wards and witness how those patients are struggling to live a life. Jumped off from a building because your boyfriend/girlfriend left you is a 情圣?! 情 pi larhh!   *opsss,sorry XD*

Wishing there will be more Neurosurgical ward rounds..

Date a surgeon must be great. XD

Happy Santa

X'mas is coming! By the way, I don't really celebrate x'mas.
Recalling last year, I was invited to cousin's house to enjoy a scrumptious meal on x'mas night. Spaghetti, mushroom soup, salad and not to forget, the roasted TURKEY (certainly a must!). Nyum!! Will I get invited again this year? *fingerscrossed*


I nearly forgot the main reason why I am here. I PASSED MY EXAM! It was initially scheduled to be released tomorrow, so I was planning to pray really hard today hoping the Almighty can hear my prayer and let me pass this crucial, vital exam. After the Lab Practical in the evening, dragged my body back to room. I had slept for 1.5 hours at noon, but I was still begging for more. Forcing myself to open up the Pharmaco book, then heard a rapid, loud stomping steps just outside my room. followed by a hurried knocking on my door. Opened, "Result is out!" yelled Qing Yu, gasping. Tachycardia, palpitation, dyspnoea, tachypnoea whatsoever were suddenly overwhelming. I kept reciting the prayer silently, hoping it's going to be alright. Bumped into a few friends on the way, telling me I got a *. hehehehehehehe. Happyyyy. Thanks!
Jumping for joy!


Anyway, something unhappy happened recently. I blame myself for not able to console my parent, not able to cheer them up, not able to wash all the bad memories away from their mind. I couldn't help  much! I am certainly not a good daughter.  =(
But, I am thankful there is always somebody who never get tired of my ceaseless tears and whine. It is very heartwarming when you said 'you wo zai'. =)

Pharmaco practical tomorrow. Oh, I don't want attend with a zero knowledge.

Tata~

“ I'm thinking of you   我有你真好
你能让烦恼变得   渺小
我遇见一个   最懂我的人
我会提醒自己   把这份爱收好...."
