My family business. A lot to b digested

My nephew called me this afternoon and telling me that his sister is coming to KL and he was hoping that i mite be helpful to fetch her at the airport. So, she is coming for good. I have no clear picture the reason of this visit.

"Blimey!! I mean, its easy!!"

The next thing i got was a text from my sister. She said that a cousin of mine who wanted to come to KL at the end of this year mite cancel the trip since her company is not coming.

"God! Wut a waste"

Tonite, I made a call to my cousin. She received with enthusiasm and was ready to share gossips that i've missed for weeks. These are some of them:

1. Her sister had moved to my aunt's. But her husband has to stay since he has to work and he could not be transfered. It's seemingly that my cousin-in-law is missing his daughters and his wife, definitely. My cousin told me that he keeps playing his 5 -year-old daughter's favorite song. Pity him and seriously me too, missing my nieces!

2. My niece is getting married this year. Most probably at the end of this year. Gosh!! Am i gonna miss that?! This 22-year niece of mine is gorgeous and smart!! And tell u wut, she is marrying someone that she has never met! That's tragic isn't it? But at least, my family believes in planned marriage.

3. People in my neighborhood are getting nosier nowadays! according to my cousin, they keep saying things about our family. I know, my family is a worth-gossiping family. I mean, we keep making scenes and it's unpreventable one. These people could not mind their own business. Not that i'm mad. but i find it amusing on how neigbours can be so fun! we never care wut they say about us... Wut are they hoping... Not once! We continue living and enjoying life.. Fun as heaven!

4. My uncle is a bit unwell! And i hate to hear that! Hope he is going to be just fine in near future!

5. My mum and sister are doing great. Thanks Allah!


These news, i know some are mind blowing while some are cute and funny. Seriously, it makes me missing my family like crazy. Those laughs and jokes, they make my adrenaline pumps in faster! Adenosine gets higher! feel like have taken 'laughing' gas! Quite a family huh?!

This picture is taken last year where we have makan2... X ingat lah kat ner!

Back from the dead....

Back from the dead. Yeah, u heard me. But please, for heaven's sakes... Don't take it literally. Wut i meant were these:

remember i wrote on this matter few days back. I mentioned that the whole 1-week holiday was definitely spent for enjoyment's sakes.. Nothing educational. So once i stepped my feet in the ward, i was quite groggy (again, don't interpret it literally).. I have no slightest idea wut COAD means. I do know pieces here and there... There are lots of missing puzzles...

And tell u wut, we did this thing every single year. Year 3 and year 4. Not to forget the fact that we had lectures, seminars, MDS and many more sessions. But still, remembering is something hard.

So, when i opened my books, tonite... I found out that, a wee moment of revision would have freshened those rusty memories. At least it's a bit faster as i read it at the first time.

Medical student: Way of Life.

When someone inquired on details of WHY I WANT TO BE A MEDICAL STUDENT/ DOCTOR (In the future InsyaAllah)... I started to fidget and stammer. It's not the first time people do ask me this question. I bet, every single Medical Student have been asked and most of the time, the answer is so darn typical.

"I want to help people" or "I want to help my parents" or "I want to have easy access to job" or maybe the funniest can it go with "Owh.... I love money, and i want to have it all especially when i work in private". I used this once and it seemed less funny to the receiver. Believe me, It's not!

I believe, all people want to help others, want to be easily employed once graduated, in desire to pay tribute to parents and teachers... We are all doing the same. (I do agree that some do want more, more enthusiastic in achieving this).

Tell u wut, when one of my bestest lecturers mentioned this.
Quote: I want to be a doctor since it's one of the hardest and toughest field to be in. Unquote. He practically amazed me by his way of answering. I know, i know... It sounds fantastic.. i bet that he meant it and he wanted to do the best! Not for someone else, not for family but for himself.

So, i have been doing some thinking, months of thinking actually. Then i come out with a very lengthy explanation on why did want to be a medical student at first.

Here we go:

I think, people are destined to live in at least one way of life, AT LEAST. He can be a farmer when he acts like one. He shovels the soil, he plants vegetables, harvests them once matured and so on and so forth. He also has several links with people. The buyers, the people who sell fertilizer and other lots! That's how he lives. He befriends with his wonderful friends who also work as farmers or maybe something else but pertaining to farming!

So, To be in medical line.. i am actually choosing my way of life. Not by planting things or spreading fertilizer but by treating human... comforting them... helping them to go out from hard times and so on and so forth. And believe me, it doesn't make me any better than a farmer. So, i deduce that as human, u play ur own role. U are not allowed to say that u have topped someone else. NEVER!

I cannot even once utter or think that i'm a lot better than an engineer... Not better than a farmer or thrash collector. The job makes us having life, and this life most of the time, determines who would we befriend with... and what would we deal with..

I think to be in medical line, it's just that im choosing my way of life. And why medical line instead of farming? I have 3 reasons for that matter:

1. Opportunity
Thank to Allah for his endless Mercy, i got vast opportunity to be in this business. I got good marks in school so i can move to the next level after another. It seems like opportunity is calling me to become a doctor.

2. Interest
Interest comes second. This also a strong reason but it can be a weak one. Most of the kids, in my years when u popped the question "What do u want to be?" They are going to say "Doctor!!" Most of them. So, virtually most kids have interest of becoming a doctor. But only few manage to pursue their dreams. and i think the explanation behind it, is lack of opportunity. (that's why OPPORTUNITY comes first)

3. Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm is not a prerequisite but it is important to make me stay in this game. Once i loss it, i would succumb to the battle. This business needs enthusiasm and eagerness! Never give up, they say!

A session with our beloved Dean...

28th July 2008
8.00 a.m
Medicine tutorial room
Selayang Hospital


Early in the morning, 12 of us waited in the room. We were about to receive a briefing on our new posting. Everyone looked so enthusiastic and i could say, brave! Were they?
Clock ticking! Finally, doctors arrived, looked fantastic!

The next few minutes, we were receiving info matters for the posting. The GROUPING, the log book, the lectures, the bedside teachings etc etc..

Then, without further ado, our dean stepped forward and ready to give his WINNING tips! He practically shared every single thing that we've missed or maybe we've accidentally forgotten.

So, i deduced from the briefing that Final year is going to be a very tough and unfair Examination. You could be failed even by missing a small thing (which is considered so darn important before a student turns to be a doctor). And seriously, when he told me this (practically he told everyone in the class la...), i was so chickened out. Speechless, mum and shivering.

Then, he briefed us on how examiner wants things to be done. How history to be collected and organised nicely. It was supposed to be an extremely a basic thing and concept but believe me, student loves to forget fundamental stuff and remember rarities instead!!! ¬ Me definitely included!

I want to quote precious sentences that he uttered:

1. 5 things students would never ever forget in their life are:
a. Makan
b. Movies
c. SMS
d. Tidur
e. Etc etc

2. "Do u think it's fair?! No, It's not. That's what i'm saying.

3. "This going to be a very crucial examination since people from Arau to Tawau would hear about it"

4. "Have ur own notes"

5. "Spend undisturbed time reading ur book and be inquisitive, asking question as u move along"

He conveyed zillions of treasured messages and i was so grateful (Still am) to be in this medical faculty. Great people are besieging me and ready to give a helpful hand. But i still need to apply what they keep reminding us " We did wut we could but the bulk of job is urs"

P.s Sorry if the quotations are mistakenly taken and put

New Posting... New Grouping... Grrrrr!!

"Hey awie, I put ur Log book at ur doorstep" A friend of mine text me. Thanx to her. She always did things that most people try to avoid these days. Getting the log books from Dean's office. I didn't know how she did it. Anyway, Thanx!

Wut i wanted to discuss here was about the grouping! Not that i want to defy the power of lecturer to do the grupping. It is just that i was caught off-guard when i saw my name was the only boy in the group. With 3 other boys are in the same group. Gosh!!!!

I am hoping to do the best of me in this new posting which is a well-known notorious posting for years!

Tiring weekend!

OMG! Wut did i do this recent weekend... It was practically tiring. I did not feel it during the whole process but the aftermath is disastrous. U know wut i am saying..

Yesterday, i decided to pay my friend a visit. So i called another friend of mine to come along. He nodded for an agreement (Even it was a phone conversation but still i could hear his nod)...

Later, my friend and I decided that the precious visit was going to be a SURPRISE one.. I first, was not really in to the decision since i was afraid that if we just barged in to his house, he might dislike it or the worst part, when he happened to be not at home! Who would be accountable then?

But still, we went on with the so called surprise plan... And guess wut?! He wasn't at home at that moment. So we practically acted pushy and asked him to come back and entertain us... so he did!

The next thing i know, we were in his room... chatting, gossiping, laughing and having good time... Which i loved!! Always do! Those moments were so fantabulostic!

That nite, we headed to stuff in food in to our already-full stomach (but still i wanted to eat more and more!!!). Something happened when we were about to do the payment. My friend blurted out stuff that i wished he would never have mentioned. And the waitress did hear about the curse...and she was dumbstruck!

After amusing our appetite, we finally decided to go to the topmost area and have a good view of KL in the nite. And trust me, it was magnificent (except the presence of nocturnal mosquitoes!Hate 'em!!!!) So, we cut the whole romance and sentimentality!

We finished the whole nite doing nothing but watching CDs... ROmantic storiesssss... 3 of us are really into romantic stories since we are so single! Lol!!! We were up till 4 a.m...

The next morning, another friend of us called and asked us to come over to Times Square and help him looking for a wrist watch. We did make him wait for hours before reach there... (only 2 of us went, the other one stayed since he wanted to clean his messy room..after the visit of course!)...

So, the next thing i know, i spent the whole afternoon browsing watch and window-shopping... I managed to buy a new ring for me (to make me look less single and desperate)...

We later decided to go home. And everyone looked extremely old wit weary faces. A few hours after having a big day, i volunteered myself to follow a group of my classmates to do some shopping. Looking for new shoes, wrist watch (again??!!!), Jacket etc etc... So that was quite a weekend huh?!!
still love it!!!

The X-Files: I want to believe

Yesterday, I managed to catch The X-Files; I want to believe at the cinema on its' first day release at Kepong! A group of desperado went for the mission; Ikie, Nous, Awie and Mastura. But Mastura wanted to watch something else, which i would not consider of watching.

Basically, The X-files movie is one of the most anticipated movie of the year since i grew up with it. X-Files nurtured me to become some one curios (Am i now?), taught me when do we need to believe something unacceptable to science. Basically, i was taught with zillions of things.

So, when Dana Scully and Fox Mulder made their exclusive appearance in this movie, nothing could hinder me to watch it.

The story for me is nothing new. But i don't hate it, still like it. I mean, what do u expect from The X-Files. They are going to be The X-Files no matter what. u definitely are not allowed to expect Duchovny turns to become Adam sandler!

The story is about a missing agent. FBI has done their best to save the agent. Finally they resort to the famous FBI agent, Fox Mulder and hope that Mr. Believe-in-unbelievable-things does manage to help them! This time, a psychic, who was a sex violator, makes the story interesting. Suprisingly, he has visions of this missing agent and the perpetrators.

I demand pancake and waffle now! Its an order!

Tonite, i have a very strong urge to eat stuff from floor based. Just name it, i can stuff them all in. I'm virtually a walking piranha.
So these are things that i wish to have before me...

Gosh! i'm drooling. I know these things are all easy to make but pardon my skills... i don't have a fine art to handle these extremely indulgent meals!

Hero!

People tend to keep a name in their heart and thinking of this figure to flame and encourage them to achieve their goals. And as cliche as it sounds, people tend to take their parents to be their Heroes. While some resort to their teacher, professor, boyfriend, movie star and sometimes even a Tom, Dick and harry to be their worshiped figure...


I, myself haven't gotten a chance to have a hero! I need a hero! I know, my parents and siblings definitely will be one of them but i don't to have the same and banal concept as people do. So, im searching for something different!

I have some elements of obssesive compulsive personality!!!

Curios? Owh! I just wanna disclose a fact about myself. I remember psychiatrist lectured me on this topic. It was unbelievable to discover that some people are born to be 'different'.

I remember my lecturer gave us an instance on how a person manifests. Okay, she said, a person can present with any sort of obsession. One patient of her had to park her (was it her?!)car for about 2 hours. She kept doing this every morning and surely it did affect her life!

Then, i thought maybe i do have some of this personality (Which seriously i never consider of having!).

Lets see what can i do to express my obsession to human/ things:

1. Human: i can be a stalker.
2. Song: I can bear listening to the same song thousands time for weeks.
3. Food: I summon the desired food during my sleep.
4. Cleanliness: I throw away dirty dishes instead of washing it

Anyway.... I don't think it's something major. And i just write it for fun and guys i don't think i need a shrink!

Shoppping and losing dime

Last weekend, my cousin, a friend and I went for a wee moment of shopping. We decided this since my cousin was so eager to buy a new blazer, since his lecturer asked 4 it.. At first my friend and I were meant to be accompanying but later the role changed.

3 of us turned to have a temporary moment of shopping spree. I decided to bring them to One Utama since they haven't stepped their feet there. At OU we spent the whole afternoon browsing blazer, shirts, shorts, underwear and everything that can we posses.

We practically tireless. Nothing could make us come to a halt. But at the end, we didn't but a single thing.

Then, we took bus back to KL Sentral. On the way back, my cousin popped a statement

Cousin: "I think, i want to go to Time Square. i really need that damn blazer for the upcoming class"

Friend: " Awie, i think, its better if we just head to Times Square instead. I mean, we can have Sunway tomorow"

Me: " Owh... Really, if u guys say so. By the way, i am not thinking of buying a thing...."

So, we headed to Times Square where my cousin managed to get his dream blazer. Finally! Then, we still got plenty of time before our home called us. We decided to have a peek!

Subconsciously, i finally holding 2 bags. I bought a shirt and a pants. Definitely subconscious!

I bath... U tell me

Once there is splash of water, i am thinking of drenching myself. I am a big fan of water. Not until it drown me la..

So basically guys, that was just an introduction. Afta checking the Favourite-colour-tell-ur-personality thing, i decided to check some more and i stumbled in to this. It tells me who am i by knowing which part of my body i wash first. Fortunately i didn't go directly to 'that' part.

Telling u the truth i tend to wash my hair first and they say wetting my hair first means:

Those who wash their hair first are the artistic type. Daydreaming is your hobby but you can achieve what most other people cannot. Dedication is lacking but you will work tirelessly towards goals which are to your liking. Money is not important to you. Friends are but only intellectuals and fellow artistic types. You make the best lover as you are most willing to explore and please your partner. Talent is your main strength. Your best partner in life will be those who chose chest.

So these are the key points:

1. I am artistic (yeah..guess so..*wink)
2. Daydreaming is so true...
3. Working exhaust-lessly (maybe... Could i?)
4. MOney is important to me.. But i think im still an adorable mad money
5. Friends? no comment
4. Wonderful lover.. I am *clapping
5. Talent? lemme think, wut am i capable of doing....
6. Chest is my best partner...Gosh!

My favorite colour is RED

Checking my closet today since i have a big day last weekend. Wut did i do? owh no.. Never ask me that. I went to shop and ready to be broke again anytime soon. I bought tons of new shirts and i just love them. I know.. i know..only gurls destined to be shoppers but hu cares!

So back to wer i was.. I said, i was checking my closet and finally out of blue, something caught my eyes. I have a bunch of red shirts. Not included my red 'shorts'. I'm absolutely a red maniac.

Out of curiosity, i decided to learn who am i by checking the internet. Colour tends to tell you who u really are.
So first i go with red determining me sexual relationship. It says:

RED:

People who like red tend to be tigers in the sack. They are easily aroused and enjoy sex in every way imaginable. Once the sexual spark is ignited, it may take hours to extinguish. When two reds get together, the ensuing erotica could make Lady Chatterly blush. Lovers of red tend to be aggressors and weaker colors should be aware.

I'm not sure if it means that i have to be grateful or otherwise. But still i reckon, i can be a tiger... at least in bed. Goodnesssss!!

I love my hair

I used to hate my hair. I know, it absolutely sounds ungrateful but yeah i did! But recently something huge happened. In spite everything that i said to my hair those past years, finally i love it. I should have done this years ago.

Wonder wut was the rizon? urmm... It was simple. My hair makes me look hot! The facts that my hair is curly, stubbornly refuse to follow the rule once it's combed, easily expanding and makes me look like i'm having hive on top of my head are still valid. My hair is still the same. But, my perception is different now.

Okay! Now its time to disclose my little secret. I do love my hair especially when it's actually can be designed in may ways that i've just recently discovered. I can make it spiky, flat-tire looking, crumble, untidy and many more. It's just Hot.


And believe me or not, i used to envy those friends with straight hair but now, i repulsed myself for having such thoughts for centuries!

yeah!!!!

My days suck!

It has been 6 days since i posted! anyway... Just announcing that im back from dead. So, here we go again...

Im gonna repent everything that i did in the past few days!First out of all, i spent my days with nothing beneficial. Not a single thing. Seriously.. I wasted every nanosecond that i have!

So, i was thinking.. and still am.. thinking. What am i gonna do to kill the time without literally kill it! So, reading medical books or in other word says study is not an option that i would weigh. Why not? Simply because, i want this one week off becomes extremely different.

So, reading non-medical books. I have tons of them in my closet... urrrmmmm... thinking.. Maybe a wise move. But still its not that fun aite? don't u think. I mean 'hey... its hols!! For Heaven's sakes!!'...

So, watching movies... Argghhhhh!! This is the fun one. But guess wut.. there is no one going with me. I'm single and literally broke.. So, forget it! And there is no good movies out there to entertain.

Owh okay..thinking... Watching drama?! Sounds good but still i think its unbelievably pathetic. Nevertheless, its still tempting.

So..here i am.. i woke up 10 minutes to noon and still lying on my bed. Waiting for sum1 to come and drag me off my dreams. Owh Gosh! So damn hating it! anyway, i need to go and take bath 1st before scrambling again...looking for good stuff to be done..
Here we go..Me with my wake-up look and Mc dicky for my lunch

Finally Surgery Ends today!

My Gosh! It is a real relief! Finally it ends today! Seriously, the whole posting i have been spending with Sleep and movies! That was my routine. I have no idea wuts happening to me in the past weeks. It was kinda blur! Btw, i have managed to get through it.

Today, i attended my long and Short cases Examination. Seriously last nite, before the exam, i felt a serious lassitude. I spent the whole afternoon and evening reading (and definitely accompanied by unbeatable loud music).. So few minutes b4 midnite, i finally succumbed to weariness! So i decided to call it a day and stopped.

Then, first thing in the morning, i woke. Not fresh and still with 90% chance of going back to sleep, but i summoned all my strength to drag my ass off the bed.

I was the first candidate (as usual)...!! But i was a bit late since my tummy gave me a problem! For God's Sakes... It was an exam day! So, i was deposited to ward and needed to clerk a patient for an hour or so. So off i went.

In the middle of clerking (i would like to thank My patient for her cooperation), a bunch of doctors were doing round. and guess what! they mentioned the diagnosis which was certainly not in my list. It was mediastinal lymphoma causing dysphagia. Mine was oesophageal carcinoma instead. So guess how awful it was.

But, to be sincere and good student, i decided i would stick to my earlier diagnosis. and surely, it would be accepted since the symptoms were very suggestive.


So, Thank goodness. The presenting process went so well. i managed to answer all questions! but still i dint know wut did i get for the marks.

Then, my short case caught me off-guard. i wasn't ready for any breast case. But still without mercy, i got it. I had no experience wut so ever examining breast in my final year. But honestly, i had practised it on my pillows.


The case was simple. But, i gave the wrong diagnosis at first and this one was not acceptable since the clinical features were so suggestive for the exact diagnosis. But still i went for breast carcinoma. Later, at the end of discussion i changed my mind afta realizing how stupid i was to even think about cancer.

My lecturers seemed to be accepting the change! and guess wut, guess i made it thru. Wut ever the final result is.. i would still be thankful. and hell yeah! It's a real relief!

SEPI ~ Cinta Tak Datang Hanya Sekali

Due to severe money deprivation, i dint get the chance to have firsthand experience watching this movie on the first day of its release. But thank Goodness, finally i did!

It happened one beautiful evening when Iki called me and informed that our Mr. Naim was indeed, in eagerness to watch that movie. So, (still out of enuff money!!) i said "yay!!!"

Basically, I want to write a review on this movie.

Overall, i wanna applaud the Involved individuals for making this movie so darn entertaining and simply romantic.
First out of all i want to congratulate the Director for doing such wonderful job in this movie. The story line, the beginning, the ending... they are all fantastic and mesmerizing.


They camera angles are so real. It brings me to the set. It is amazing to see how beautiful Malaysia is!!

I would say, the best part is the ending (even Sufi did not get a good one). I was not expecting such happy and dramatic ending. They are well planned..

Then, i would go to pat the script writer's back for doing fabulous job, making the dialogue so magnificent and simple!


Then, we move on to the casts! They are all wonderful. From the well-known actor and actress to the newbies, they did a worth-of-watching acting in this movie. They dint appear to be stiff. I just love Vanida Imran, Afdlin Shauki, Tony Eusoff, Rozita Che' wan, Sazzy Falak, Nasha Aziz, Baizura Kahar, Syed Hussein, Pierre Andre. Bravo guys!

Lastly (but as cliche says, not least)the soundtracks. Gosh! They are melancholic and absolutely have lacrimal-gland-squeezing effect. But yeah! i dint cry!

So, i definitely will suggest all Malaysians, or even Non-Malaysians to watch this movie. Its worth watching!
