Rotation Posting @ Hospital JHEOA, Gombak

Rotation posting was fun! There was a lot that we could learn during this posting.. especially the Orang Asli's (natives of Malaysia) culture, lifestyle and especially, the way they take western medicine. It was an eye-opening posting since the posting was not at all similar to the mundane and common Hypertension (High blood pressure), Diabetes (High blood sugar level), Hypertension, Diabetes, Hypertension and Diabetes again... I myself managed to come across cases of Hereditary Spherocytosis, Congestive Heart Failure, Tetralogy of Fallot and Tuberculosis... with findings like clubbing (loss of nail bed angle), splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), ascites (accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity). It was beneficial all in all! ;)

But since the hospital has very little patients, we did things like teaching the children and their family members the proper hand-washing method. Thing about Hospital JHEOA (Jabatan Hal Ehwal Orang Asli or Ministry of Welfare of Orang Asli) is that since they usually live in very remote areas of the country, in thick forests... health officials play a role in going into the jungle to actively search for patients to perform health screenings, transport them to the hospitals in urban areas and as such, their family members tend to follow them whereby, there's a hostel kinda building where the family members of the patient can stay with free accomodation (daily needs like food etc.). Cool ain't it?

Hand-washing =)

Mmm.. Sorry readers and followers...! I think I've decided not to update till my exams are over... which is after new year's eve.. LOL Yes, bad timing! Thanks for being around and sorry for not updating in so long~ So long for now and this year..

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR all you!

-hopefully everything sails smoothly for the rest of 2009!-

the pumpkin's Birthday!

It was Felicia, the Pumpkin Pie's birthday... I would regard it as full of thrills amidst all the mugging for exams. It was her 21st! Cant afford not doing something for her right? Many of us with our individual lies of not going to be around to celebrate with her made her so emo but ended up with unexpected amount of JOY she was filled with, literally visible from the photos below ^^ We actually got her mom to help us out with the surprise, going down to her house the day before her birthday (25th Nov) to prepare for it while getting her parents to bring her out for dinner...

So yes, how did we enter her house?
Zhao Ming climbed in (as told by her mom LOL), got the gate's remote control from the post box and opened the gate for everyone else to go in.
Didnt the neighbours call the police?
Thank God, no... XD Though they did come out to check.

Here we go!

The candles kept blowing off due to wind... and at one point, her dad suddenly came back with her bro and we thought they were back while we were still unprepared..
We ran to the back of the house only to find out she was still in a mall =_="
Thought our whole surprise went down the drain.. thank God...!
Cake baked by our very own chef, Esther!

We made her blow off 100 candles!

Santa Claus is in town!! And we made her eat cotton candy =)

She was shocked and at the same time contentedly in tears to see Chun How and Kian appear from the corner of her house (coz they were suppose to be at their respective home towns) aww..
We brought forward Christmas celebration by exactly one month! =DOpening presents!

Cake cutting!

Lic's parents prepared so much food for us!! Satay, Hokkien mee and Fried Kuey Teow. =DAnd after all the feasting... the gurls went over to Olive's house to overnight... caught up with some of our private lives ^^ Next morning was another mission... we went to Klang for Bak Kut Teh but advice is, don't go there if you're not from Klang itself coz we got stuck in a terrible jam...took us 4hrs altogether to be home =S Jam was due to the upgrading works being done to roads

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Pumpkin PiE!

Everything to me

Can u believe this? Flying to Laos is cheaper than taking a bus to Singapore!!!

Mama!!! =( =( =(

They should release our holiday time table man!

role of a human heart

I'm gonna share this modified made up story of my experience with people...their intentions and sincerity.

Lets say the person is Linda.. a colleague of mine. And another person, Benson, borrowed my oven. Before Benson had the chance to use the oven, Linda borrowed the oven from Benson, not knowing it was mine. However, Benson did inform me. What happened was, after Linda was done with the oven, knowing that the oven is a pretty heavy one and Linda has no car... I decided to ask her if she needs help in returning the oven to Benson since he hasn't used it. Like at least...lending her my car?
Guess what..? Linda actually said,
"Don't worry, I promise that I will return your oven in one piece."

I know it may not sound like there's anything wrong with the sentence but all I did was offer help and she just had to say "yes" or "no". So what does this mean, by having taken my sincerity for granted? Can I conclude that, only those with intentions of getting in returns are those who think of others that way too...? The world seriously needs to live a more benevolent heart...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN BIRTHDAY BRO!

I know I'm rather late in wishing my bro but better late than never? =P haha~
Yes, it's HALLOWEEN but it's his birthday! I don't know if it's a taboo or not, have no idea what is behind a Halloween celebration but it sure doesn't interfere with an awesome person's birthday! I don't know how often he visits my blog...maybe I can link this post to his Facebook now that fb has such awesome features~ =D

So as I was browsing for pictures of my bro and I....I was in great disappointment (yes, I'm disappointed with us, bro!) that out of the gazillion pictures of him and his gf, these are the only few I could find of us.. =_= with the best 1 being the 1 below (showing our bumps...)

with bros @ Skybar, Traders Hotel

Hiking and waterfall!

HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY AND BEST WISHES~
GOOD LUCK FOR UR EXAM!!!
mommy wishes u happy birthday too!

-At times I wish u are home.....-

Community Service with the juniors (M209)!

Last Saturday, 24th Oct 2009, I had to lead the fellow new members of Community Service Club (CSC) down to National Council of Welfare and Social Development Malaysia (MAKPEM) Centre in Sentul where children from the community gather to learn more about interacting, moral values and even English. This place has been made our fortnightly visit location since Tengku Budriah, Cheras (home for court order kids) are not ready for us to continue visiting. So what happened was.., Me being a noob in directions around Sentul (or anywhere else), plus never driven there on my own.. =/ gave me no choice but got directions from GoogleMaps, I managed to draw myself a fairly reliable map, also with a faint memory of the place (since I've been there 2 weeks ago), I thought I'd be fine, as a SENIOR (great responsibility), leading us safe to our destination...UNTIL..... 1 of the car got lost.. =S plus.. I made a wrong turn myself... I guess in the end after a lot of roaming around Sentul, around KL, etc... we did explore new places and got to our destination! phewhh~~ I'm sorry M209!! (though they kept saying it's alright...js feeling guilty. eeks..) What we did there that week was in conjunction with their "Community of Love" programme... so we were there to tell them more about what a community of love means and also instill some moral values at the same time. They were also required to draw an art piece each for an art contest organized by Phileo Damansara for their Christmas at the Park event..

Pictures!

Nabilah and Aisya whom I was looking after XD
I really feel like making it for every visit but with exams =(
Our relationship is like.. once u go there, the kids will remember u...will tend to stick to u... but if u dont turn up..they'll be searching for u all over... =/ hence feel neglected.. (I cant make it for the next few weeks =( )

We're the people they trust, we just need to assure them that we can be trusted...

haha..some of the juniors did their own colouring too..

Quite a huge group of us that day..3 FULL cars..with mine fitting 7! XD I wanted to try Chow Kit Pan Mee but failed to find our way there so I led em to Jojo Pan Mee in Tmn YulekBonding sessions are always AWESOME! ^^
