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.
