(xde tajuk)

Sudah lame x menules blog...mmg btol laa name blog nih..
x suke laaa Pengamalan Am nih...sungguh memenatkan jadual persekolahannye...
maka menyukarkan saya utk menules blog...
Hmm...hari nih sy pegi GP tuh..sy terlambat, pastu sy smp train station, train pon lambat gk...last skali smp kat Dandy pkol 910...bas plak ntah kenape xdtg2...sy pon sbb x nk laa lambat sgt, naik cab je..although sy dh call clinic tuh bgtau sy akan lambat n die kate ok je..
skali bile smp kat clinic tuh, Alex the receptionist kate skang nih diorg x cukup Dr..nurse MC..."our practice is falling apart"...
die kate sy maybe bleh masuk consultation Dr Ayala..tp Dr Ayala dtg pkol 10...mase tuh pkol 925!sia2 duit cab $6.30...
bile Dr Ayala dtg, Alex tanye die ok ke x sy ikot die..die kate patients die sume spanish...nnt sy x paham pape..last skali setelah mereka berunding Dr Ayala kate bleh laa sy ikot die, amek BP, typekan patients' notes ke..
slame nih nmpk Dr Ayala agak menakutkan..sbb die cam besar2 & nmpk x friendly..tp rupenye sangkaan sy itu benar2 meleset..she made the effort utk translate n summarise what's happening since sy x paham diorg ckp spanish...n die byk laa mengajar...
pastu bile dh nk blk die kate kalo nk mintak tolong ckp laa kat die..
sy pon memberitahu masalah sy yg xde patient lg utk chronic illness study tuh..die pon dgn baik hatinye rekemen patient die yg bleh ckp english..siap suro receptionist call patient tuh tanye bleh x dtg clinic hari selase depan utk jumpe sy...sungguh baik hati!!
menarek kan practice nih? sume dr2 tuh bilingual.....sy penah dgr consultation bahase indon, tagalog, italian & spanish!

Sesungguhnya saya memang suka menjawab 'tanda-tanda' tetapi oleh kerana kesibukan putaran Pengamalan Am ini, saya terpaksa menangguhkan tampalan ini sehingga hujung minggu.
Syarat-syarat :
1. ‘Tag’ dijawab dalam Bahasa Melayu sahaja.
2. Tag orang yang telah men’tag’ anda
3. Tag orang yg anda mahu tag

Sebenarnya saya bukanlah seorang peminat muzik dan selalunya saya akan mendengar lagu mengikut musim. Saya hanya mendengar lagu apabila berjalan menaiki kereta bersama rakan2 serumah. Saya telah cuba mendengar lagu-lagu yang ada di dalam computer ini tetapi tidak berjaya menjadikannya tabiat. Tetapi, jangan salah anggap, saya sebenarnya sangat suka menyanyi sekiranya saya mengetahui lirik lagu tersebut. Buat masa ini saya tidak ada lagu kegemaran.

Tahun depan mungkin – Saya akan kehilangan beberapa kilogram berat badan kerana sebagai pelajar tahun lima mungkin sukar untuk ponteng hospital dan saya harus berada di hospital dari pagi hingga ke petang.

A Long Day

I am soooo exhausted but I have many things that I wanna share with you..
one of the reasons I blog is to record things that happen in my life so that when I read 'em someday, I could recall what I felt at the moment...that's why some things I can't just leave till later or else the feelings will go away..

So today is my second day at the GP clinic. I was with Dr Lori the whole day...She's going on a 38-day Europe trip starting the day after tomorrow till 25th August...I've been sucking up to her since my first day and I tried to be as enthusiastic as I possibly can and as for now I think we've bonded...I hope when she's away I'll be put under the nice doctors, Sebastian is a very good teacher, Cely is nice as well..

this is the longest I've spent in a day at a clinical placement..I was there from 9am till 640pm with only about 1 hr+ break for lunch, Zuhur, Asar & Maghrib.....I should leave at 5pm but I thought I wanna have a chat with Dr Lori once she's done with her patients as she won't be with me for the next 5 weeks...so I waited until Dr Lori said that I should go as it was already late..(bear in mind it's winter & it's already Isyak when I left)

When I left I just took whichever bus that arrives first..there were 2 bus stops at different side of the road...as there were a few buses sharing the same bus stop & the first bus to arrive was at the other side of the road, I quickly cross the road and get into the bus...without checking where the bus is heading...If I'm not mistaken all the buses will eventually stop at Chadstone although their routes might vary slightly, but still they should stop at Monash Uni as well & I can just walk home from there....unfortunately, it turns out that it was the last bus and it won't go up to Chadstone, the final destination is Applet Drive (I have no idea where that is) and it will return to it's depot...I got no choice but have to stop there and take another bus to go to Dandenong Railway Station, take the train to Clayton & then walk from there home..I can't be bothered walking so instead of spending 15mins walking, I decided to pay $5.20 to the cabby...after the violent attacks of robbery in Clayton a few months ago, I don't feel safe anymore walking alone in the dark...

When I got off the cab, I checked in the car if I left anything behind and realised that my books weren't there...yup, I'm a very careless person...if u wanna steal something from me, just follow me around for one whole day, and wait till I left something behind...erm, U might get demotivated after a couple of days not getting anything valuable, but if U stick around for let say...a month, U'll get something...
When I got into the house, I realised something else is missing...my GP attendance sheet!!!it's folded in one of those books!

I arrived home at 803pm....I missed Masterchef Australia which is aired at 7pm-8pm...but as usual, they always go over the time so I had the chance to watch the elimination!

I am tired, hungry & now, I don't just lose a few grams of weights (fats I hope!) but I also lost the most important form that needs to be submitted at the end of this rotation..

I don't where I could have left those things, it could be the 804 bus, or 802 bus, or the bench at the train station or in the train itself...

I find the train's lost and found office number and it only operates till 5pm...I then looked for the bus company number and called them...luckily, the buses were already at the depot..the person who picked up the phone went and had a look into the buses and found my books!!Thank God...

Asma' cooked a lovely dinner for me, grilled chicken+pizza+spinach..yay!!

As when I'm about to eat, I checked my mobile phone and received a message from my.monashportal SMS results service. it says,

MED4082 PGO

which means I passed the exam!!
I'm soooo happy!


Owh..there was another thing that made my day...there was this patient who came in for Implanon insertion...

N****t: Where are you from?
Me : Malaysia
N****t: You're beautiful!
Me : Thank you..(smilling but feeling embarrassed in front of Dr Lori)

Dear N****t, I don't have to write your name anywhere, I'll always remember U!

Anyway, N****t is a young 18 year old Sudanese refugee who has been in Australia for many years now....heheheheh

Yaaaahhoooooooo!

MH147 (MEL-KUL): Thu, 17 Sept, Depart 1500, Arrive 2110
MH148 (KUL-MEL): Thu, 24 Sept, Depart 2135, Arrive 0850 (+1 day)

I've got my flight tickets...It took me 2 days to make up my mind about skipping classes in order to go home for Eid..I'll be doing Psych by then..let's just hope that they won't be too strict with attendance...I am slightly worried but I can't be bothered..once I say I wanna go home..then home it is...

It has been almost 5 years since the last time I celebrate Eid with my family in Malaysia...I was hoping to get my final yr's vacation rotation during Eid but I wasn't that lucky...there are 2 more Eid left until I graduate and I want to have one of them in Malaysia..I haven't seen my younger sist for over 2 years and if I waited till next year (which can't be guaranteed), it will be 3 years...
For the past few years, I wished I was in those family Eid photos...or being the one capturing those happy moments...my nuclear family (erk..lame gile kot x dgr term keluarga nuklear) is quite small..consisting of my 2 sisters n my mother but I have a big extended family...my mom has 6 siblings and I have 43 cousins(yup2..no history of infertility in my family)...1st Syawal is the time when everyone gathered at my grandparents house, followed by my uncles' and aunties' houses on the next couple of days...I really enjoy those family gatherings where we never ran out of things to talk..the only thing that I don't like about family gathering at my grandparent's house is whenever I was asked to make tea!...I always act like I wasn't listening or I was so engrossed in the conversations...ahhaha

I'll be in there this time around!!

To those celebrating Eid in Terengganu...let's meet up!
Aemell - hope to c u and I believe we'll be seeing each other..
Serre - make yourself available for me please..it has been 3yrs++ since we last met!
Koy - almost 5 yrs...(blk laa Terengganu...n turun KT please..mari kite sume be'reunion'..)

For other friends, I know it's Eid & ssh nk jumpe but if you want to bleh laa see me off in KLIA on 24th Sept..or I might be in KL on 18th...

Perfect Italiano Ricotta Cheese

Last week Effah n me made pizzas..We took the recipe (for the dough & sauce) from Masterchef Australia website...one of the reality tv shows that we all follow...it was quite a success..we made 3 different toppings with chicken, beef n seafood...

I had to make the dough twice as the first one was very salty!!my fault...I don't know how to reset the scale..

anyways, here are some of the photos...





If you're wondering if they did taste good, I assure you...they were!



this is Effah's favourite ad on tv..Perfect Italiano Ricotta Cheese..this ad has a new sequel which shows this 'perfect' guy practising his listening skill...in this new ad, he was making pizza...that's what inspired us..

mmm...we didn't actually buy Perfect Italiano....we used Coles'...

Yes...If I'm 'seeing someone' as opposed to 'going out with someone', I should be considered single right?

3. At what age do you think you'll get married?
I want to get married before I turned 28..It's not possible for me to get married until at least I graduated..so I guess 26 would be the earliest and 28 the latest...(provided I finally found someone)

10. Will that include your exes?
I don't have exes..but I surely would invite those whom I've had crush on...

11. How many layers of cake do you want?
Honestly, I don't care about wedding cake...I'd rather spend my money on my honeymoon...One layer is enough..

Makan2 Minum2

After our Puffing Billy trip, we had dinner at Sarawan...my favourite Briyani in Melbourne..Pink named her tummy as 'Julia' & Adila decided to also name hers..she called hers 'Boris'...after the dinner it was obvious that 'Julia' & 'Boris' combined are definitely smaller than my unnamed tummy!!


I cooked Nasi Dagang for dinner on Sunday night and we had a small M03C reunion..Pink, Adila, Shaq & Rina were my classmates in KMB...I also invited Aida to come over as Aida & Adila are good friends since they were in Jasin (I think)...I have been thinking of cooking Nasi Dagang for over a month but haven't had the time...now that I have friends coming to Melbourne, it's reason enough for me to cook!
I guess it wasn't too bad, 'Julia' asked for a second helping...the first I've seen within the past few days!

I can't remember if this was our fake laughs or real ones...
Gambar normal
Cube meniru Adilanye facial expression..Shaq wasn't being supportive...

After the dinner, I followed them back to city...we had coffee that night and it was Adila's shout!
The topic that night was gay & Little Britain...both Pink & Adila failed at convincing us to watch Little Britain!



On Monday noon, after seeing Pink off at Southern Cross Station (Pink is going to Sydney), I had lunch with Gge & Sher...after a few minutes of thoughts, we decided on Blok M...I had Ikan Balado & they both were sharing Nasi Campur...again, my tummy is bigger than theirs combined!!

Owh...thanks to Sher for carrying my heavy & space-consuming coats...and to Zeff for picking them up from my cousin..
