now tat is new.. wonder how would i react if someone slap me... which newspaper was tis?

Do you guys know more details on the incident where UH female anesth MO was slapped by an (assh*le) cardiothoracic surgeon? I just read about the news with repulse on the newspaper. If my wife is being slapped by anyone, with or without bloody gloves, it will be more than his glasses that will be broken. That surgeon must be one of those whose culture is that women must be obedient and cannot defy men; and when women defy men, it is justifiable for them to be beaten by man.

Another news that made me feel disgusted is the targeting of Chinese ladies by perverted policemen and their female accomplices. If they are so horny, why don't they just f**k each other in the police station.

And UM dropping in ranking among the universities in the world? I am not surprised, not surprised at all.

Excuse me for all these negative energy.

u know what lee kien? perakians talk like that too. or at least those in teluk intan and manjung area. i used to ask my patients "depa tu siapa??" penat is a hot fav here too. i've asked various pakcik n makciks "bila jalan, penat tu penat kat kaki ke penat sbab susah napas?"(yeah talking kinda like them too, i have some problem taking history in english these days. feels n sounds funny) on the same topic, anyone knows the meaning of the word "anu"??-fav among teluk intanians.
canker in the shadows n apokalypse-reveal urselfs!!

do welcome all of u to crash my place. feel free to drop by, IF u can find the place. jempol is rather in the middle of no where, though the coverage is rather large. (extend to pahang border it think)....
stil yet to move my base there.. so shall keep u all inform...
in the mean time, still testing my sanity limit here in seremban.

no problem, u get the bus-load of ppl and i will find the directions there! I just hope WJ is prepared to ost the party!

will they allow you all to party in the quarters? wow wow, that may the greatest news!
let have a kind of reunion / pre christmas/ pre new year/post stress and of cause to celebrate wen jih's new living standard. yahoo!

osh! where is hospital jempol by the way?

guess we now can go jempol for holiday and have a place to stay!

cant recall wat did i wrote in the blank entry.
went to hosp jempol oredi... suppose to report but had been doing stock keepin for past two days. then ask my new boss, so am back in seremban for another 2 weeks back in psy just to settle things here...
so will b havin a full week ahead of farewell dinners, lunch... with colleagues, frens n patients....
shall update regarding the new hosp later. but quaters is really cun. each one will get a unit which consist of 1 masterbedroom, 2 common rooms n 1 maid room, 1 store room, kitchen, n living room. furnished.. think will rotate sleepin in each room each day.

why wen jih publish blank post? maybe jempol has prob with internet line?
so, how is it there (as pengarah?)

haha seokhong....slangs here in sabah is something to get used to too.....i.e.

ppl here says things like...."dia 'bilang' dia datang hari dua" or...."mereka 'bilang' tidak perlu makan sebelum ......."
(bilang means 'kata'.....) so there'll be us 'west'eners who wonders why the sabahans are always counting (bilang here and there)

Just to add to the 'loghat' thing, when I first started working in Alor Setar, and asked the staff nurse for something, she asked me back "Laa ni?" I was totally confused but later found out that "Laa" means immediately or now. PAP does mean person accompanying patient, as Chee Foo says.
Haven't fully recovered from my EOD call during Raya. First day wasn't bad, even though slept for less than 2 hours. 2nd call, in NICU and SCN, intubated 4 babies; running 12 ventilators. Luckily they were all quite stable.
Chee Foo, count me in for the Lembah Bujang/Gunung Jerai thing. But let me know in advance as the only exercise I've been doing lately has been ward rounds and running to OT/ Labour room.
Chiew Leng, Chong Tien and Wen Jih, waiting to hear from you guys about your new hospitals.

Hi,
Happy Deeparaya to everybody, or is it bz oncall until no time to Raya?
I'm oncall the whole wkend. Been making multiple trips to hospital everyday, setlling cases like stuck ketupat or kids swallowing their duit raya...sigh...even the oncall claim cant cover my petrol money..

But i still manage to go picnic with my wife at Lembah Bujang(yes, where all those candi-candi we learn in Form % is) and Tupah. Found out that there this interesting trail fr Lembah Bujang to Summit of Gunung Jerai ,will take 1 whole day trip, to and fro. Heard the staff said that the trail was challenging but safe and easy to follow. So, anybody interested for some jungle trekking and mountain climbing??? Mayb we can do it on some wkend,ok?? Do contact me if interested.

Yong: if i'm not mistaken, the SN once tell me that PAP meant Person Accompanying Patient, thus is their family members

Ciau...hope to hear fr u guys again.

Another term used in Hospital Alor Star, and probably the state of Kedah, is "P.A.P" - referring to 'patient's family'. What exactly PAP stands for, I don't know. I have never heard the use of this term in Negeri Sembilan.

greetings all!
me n chong tien just reported duty today (yea right smack in between of holidays) in Hospital Likas, KK.
took one week off last week , went traveling to sandakan....so my tour around sabah is mainly left with the SIPADAN!!! gonna scuba dive there some time soon....i hope!
i m lucky to have reported in today,.....got the next few days off!
also, since there's no radiologist in this hospital...i m expected to be 'acting' head of dept....does this mean more money?! ka chink!....but boohoo.....admin work!....that's sabah.....multitasking....some MOs becomes head of unit...lack of specialist to fill up posts...
hope to come home to kl in xmas time....catch up wit some of u guys i hope!

happy deeparaya!!!
bet the roads wil b jammed, same with ortho wards... enjoy the long break.. so envy those in kk who is getting a week break... fear not for those in hosp,... for there r lots of non indian or muslim who is working along in these time of holiday, so u r not alone...(just think of the call claim)...
shall go for a short break. wil report to new hosp next week... dunno how it wil go, first batch there..
btw, went to ngou's wedding last week... wife was really great. fun. frenly.

yong, don't forget semput for SOB too. i think mengah is a negeri thing cos it's used in sban and tampin. =}

Hi guys,

For the e-book thing, I guess the best way would be to mail by post a hard copy on a CD to you. That's because the Harry Potter books alone is nearly 10Mb in PDF. Tell you what ... put your postal address on the blog or send your postal address to my email (yonglk98@tm.net.my), and I will burn them on a CD and mail them to you.

The loghat Kedah is peculiar for a Negeri person like me. Air is pronounced ayaq. Any words ending with the letter L will be pronounced I. Example: sambal - sambai, cendol - cendoi, tinggal - tinggai. There is also this habit of using the word 'na' at the end of sentences to make the statement sound more berbudi bahasa. Example: 'saya balik dulu naa' or 'makcik mesti makan ubat tiap-tiap hari naa'. The word 'depa' means 'them/they (mereka)'. So 'deeparaya' in Kedah actually sounds like 'mereka raya' not 'kita raya', a jest mentioned by most Kedahan.

The word for shortness of breath in Kedah is 'penat'. Penat does not mean the conventional 'tired' or 'lethargy' in Kedah. In Kuala Pilah, 'mengah' means SOB. Wonder what interesting words is used for SOB in other states/daerah?

Happy deepavali and selamat hari raya to all who are celebrating!. To those who are on-call, may the general population take good care of themselves and let us a peaceful holiday at work too!

good to hear from you, adeline. i personally like BTN than Induksi course.
please send my regards to seng kiat and those around you that i know ok. thank you.

for those celebrating raya and deepavali.......happy deepa raya!!!!!!!!!

soon will be all saints day....all souls day........haloween's.......winter near/tong yuan......christmas.......new year and another year older. may the luck be with you all.
