Say No To Cats!

Yeah i yelled, screamed, shrieked or however you want to describe it, at the canteen the other day ALL BECAUSE OF A CAT.

I HATE CATS. HATE HATE HATE HATE. There aren't any particular reasons to it, but they just annoy me and they're disgusting and dirty and the fact that they purrrrr and brush your legs with their idiotic tail. STUPID FUGLY CATS.

And of course, that screaming session propelled me to stardom among my batchmates as the cat woman. Great. As if i need anymore of that. Sigh.

Shut up Shut up Shut up!

If i could just delve into your numb skull and read what you're thinking.

You stupid, dumb, idiotic, monkey, donkey!

Life would've been so much easier and less complicated.

Joke Of The Day

Firstly, i'm glad KW, KL and i found our CFCS patient. Phew! So relieved! =) I just hope she's the right one. She's a funny little aunty, with an absolutely crazy family. LOL. Hope all is well. The process of searching for a patient has been gruesome, but it's been made a lot easier cos i have 2 male partners with me! =D Yay! that means i get to bully them and all, make them do the introduction (cos they're always the same = "hi aunty, we're medical students. is it ok for us to ask you some questions?") I get to skip that part and go directly into question time! *evil laughter* I'd always be the one that says "Go Kim Long" or "Go Kah Weng". MUAHAHA!

Anyways, today, i have to say, is one of the better days (or at least for me) in my family medicine posting, despite having to leave the house at 7am. Teaching clinic this morning was alright too. Definitely a handful to digest and a mountain's worth of revision of all the little things i've forgotten.

But but but, the afternoon was great! Or at least, it's been enjoyable. Dr. Loh was showing us tonnes of slides on the common clinical signs and symptoms seen in primary care. And and and, he talked to us also on the four most common parasites within the orang asli community in Msia. He drew out a table, listed down each complication and he drew the morphology of each's ova. Then he asked us (this is the funniest part LOLLLLL!!!),

"What's the difference between an ova and a cyst?"

So after much thought, Sara said,

"Cyst is for asexual reproduction and ova's for sexual"

And he said,

"MMmm, yes correct. Cyst is for asexual repro in a protozoa"

And then he continued,

"You know last time i asked your seniors this question, you know what they answer me ah?"

And we're like "what what what?!"

"They said ova is anything that's oval lorrr and cyst is anything that's round wannn"

And we burst out laughing!!!! Particularly me and Sara. HAHAHHAHAHA!!! Then he continued,

"That's why ah, you all don't think properly before you answer you know. If like that, so you don't say 'i wana play football lah', just say 'i wana play cyst!' "

LOLLLLL

"Or next time, if you see the moon, don't say 'wahh the moon', just say 'wahhhh cystttt!!!!' "

MORE LAUGHTERS!!

"And when you play rugby, it's not rugby anymore. It's 'play ova!!!' "

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!

I swear to god me and sara laughed till we peed in our pants!!

Then i remembered Kah Weng's face in his old id card, it was really round. So i said

"Kah Weng, you used to look like a cystttt!!!" LOLLLL

Damn funny lahhhhh!!!

And he definitely needs extra art classes that boy. He drew the trichuris ova (which was supposed to look barrel-like) like a sausage!!! LOL and then, it became a flying saucer....

HAHAHAHHAHA!!

Oh oh oh! and today, is one day the 15 of us shall remember. Those in Fam Med now, you have to know what i mean really. Today in history, is a Oh My God day. LOL

Enough of laughing. I have to get back to my work. Sigh! Time flies. It really does *sinks to the back of my chair*

Toodles!

CFCS!

From wards to klinik kesihatan, to and fro, up and down the stairs for almost 10 times, being tired from head to toe, exhausted and on the brink of giving up; that explains how my day was. I think the three of us have this really bad luck going on honestly. Every other people have found their patient and we're still going back and forth.

It isn't all that difficult to get one ideal patient that i can follow up on for 2 years, or is it??!!

This whole thing is mentally damaging to us and i swear Kah Weng and i look schizophrenic or psychotic today. Kim Long just looks..........dead. LOL

HELPPPPPP!!!! anyone, everyone, please pray for me!!!!!

When The Going Gets Tough

To all my faithful readers (if there are any at all), i am utterly sorry for being missing in action for almost a month already. Life has gotten tougher, nobody said it was ever easy anyway. And i have currently moved out of KL, although occasionally i tend to check into free rooms in Country Heights Kajang or Bukit OUG Condominium =D. I am now officially in Seremban. Yes, that god forsaken place in this god forsaken country. The holidays have ended about 3 weeks ago, and i really should be all geared up and feeling much more enthusiastic than i am right now because clinical phase is supposed to be one of those really wonderful and exciting years in your medical student days. Unfortunately, i am feeling neither of that and i'm still trap in my life-at-home-with-absolute-freedom-and-nothingness-oh-its-so-much-fun days. Maybe i just wish that i'd be able to bend time and space that i could always go back to when i needn't feel tired and exhausted every other single day.

So Seremban...As if you don't already know, it's a dead town. There aren't any entertainment outlets, no shopping malls and no great places to eat. The only happening and exciting place where you see life and people is Jusco which is like 25 mins from where i stay. I am not joking. There are only 3 cinemas, one GSC in a terrible building you wouldn't even bother visiting, one MBO with only 4 ppl at one time in the theatre and another GSC in Jusco and ALL of them air movies like Sayang, Jin Cinta (or whatever shit), Sex Drive, Dragonball, Eden Lake, Watchmen and some other horrendous malay movie. Yes, there aren't any Slumdog Millionaire or Marley and Me or Jonas Brothers or Tale of Despereaux or all other hit movies in town now. I am deeply saddened.

My house currently is a double storey, rental is cheap, it's next to Ho Wai's, Ming Hui's and Lip Jeen's and 1 minute away from Yilin, Pei, Kah Weng and Geng Yi. There are roaches, lizards and ants and mosquitoes everywhere. And a moronic dog that rummages our garbage chute. Great. The roach gave me one horrible sleepness night one of the days. From then on, i swear to god i'd never open my window and the door is closed 24/7, i bought doorsealers, roach and lizard traps, 2 sprays and i said to myself that i'd rather die of suffocation than have roaches in my room ever again. SWEAR!!!

And yes, i do have a car now. It's my be-earlied birthday gift from mum, my orange little myvi =) Stop envying me and the fact that it's an auto with a power steering *grins*. And and and, i drive with absolute grace and have never misstep on the accelerator instead of the breaks (i have once at home, but never to the extend of hitting any cars, aherm you know who you are). Speaking of which, seremban drivers are rude, impatient and unethical. And we call Penang drivers mad. Look at the mad ones now.

Orientation was boring, if not for the fact that we have an orientation night which was ok. First week of Family Medicine and we're already feeling bored and tired for no reasons. I look at those who're first posted in Surgery and Internal Med and of course i get freaked out cos they're always stressed, always pressing for time, always busy with wards and TBLs and always feeling terrified. I'm glad me and Lams got Fam Med as our first posting because at least i'd have some time to adjust to this terribly humid place with no life and whatsoever.

Kim Long, Kah Weng and i were looking for our CFCS patients yesterday, and one of our patient had 3 grandchildren with him. They kissed my cheek goodbye! =D That, completely made my day. We're still looking for a really suitable patient and unfortunately luck isn't on our side yet. We only have tomorrow left. Sigh. And i have my research project which i need to figure out. Tired!!!

You know, i think they're right. The patients are the ones that will make our day a little more bearable and a little more fulfilling. I'm looking forward to when my patient comes up to me and says "thank you, doc". Of course, that is if i ever make it through my final 2.5 years here. I'm already half way there. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
