yeeling is going to BTN at pantai chenang, langkawi island.
hey guys, know who else is going? 4-8 july. She is the only one from Jb hosp. And pengarah let her claim 'gantian kapal terbang'.

BTN: it's actually in the circular that BTN is necessary for confirmation. but mostly applied to those who has not done their induction and they usually go for both at a time.

I just came back from BTN in Ulu Sepri, Rembau. It was great. we had it together with the jabatan penjara which was a blessing in disguise. Admittedly or not, doctors are not a very boisterous bunch. The prison officers surely lightened up the sessions. There was no brainwashing at all ( unless my skull too thick and i didn't get their brainwashing). No sensitive issues touched. Mainly more on how we should be loyal govt officers which i think is ok. Food not too great as i think they may have catered from my hosp - yucks and living conditions were so-so. We slept in double decker beds and had to share toilets like in UM hostel. We had separate cubicles and shower!!! (Expectations weren't to great)

Scenery was great. Surrounded by forest and had a river run through the camp site. Had line dancing instead of marching. Exams were logical and Kembara was fantastic! Best of all it actually rained. nice!

The truth is, i actually forced the JKNS to send me for BTN because I was tired of tagging daily - HAHA. Anyways, I have no regrets going and thankfully, my tagging finishes this thur!

To those who are contemplating bout going for BTN, better get it done now as it's better to go with ppl u r familiar with. As for my current group, I was with my juniors. still ok. Later, our bones will be less nimble and our brain may not be able to withstand the brainwashing as experienced in the other states. Go with open mind, and enjoy 5 days work-free and crap-talking!

Eh-hem, I see budding politicians here. By the way, are you guys compounding your lack of sleep by watching the world cup?
Carren, good to hear that you got what you wanted. How's Shin Yi? Has she applied for transfer?
Alan, long time no hear from you except for that utterly true sms on top 9 reasons why somebody wants to become a doctor. Are you still in Kuala Pilah?
Ah Ngou, long time no hear too.
Hope to hear more good news all around (people getting married, passing exams etc.)

many of our ancestors ran away from china generation ago.
does it mean that we have to do the same thing again.
we were born here for good or bad, we must not give it away easily.
if i were to die on this land of malaysia, i will fight for it not only for me but for our future generations.
so stay or migrate? still proud to be m'sia?

wa yap... DAP supporter?

what's in the blog is true, and i think most people knows it, consciously or subconsciously... the question is... what are we going to do or what can we do about it?

are we going to sit back idly and hope for the better, or leave the country for the dogs and run away...

are we willing to fight for change? however hard and impossible it may seem?

q: do all of us need to go for btn? any implication if not go ah? coz purposely didnt apply for this year. lazy to go. n stupid confirmation plus apc is stil stuck in putrajaya (i hope it is stuck there, if not, tat means it is stil in jkn level)

Chee Foo: hey, 1 mth tagging already good. others had to tag 2 mths. but not bad, can charge them passive call daily and each time they call me to go back and see something, i get to collect milage.

As for confirmation, mine only just departed from seremban on 1/6/06 but has not reached KKM yet. Crap la. i sent mail to UK and my friend already reached it in shorter time than that! Anyhow, keep on pestering them or deliver it yourself. I think this is like tracing blood results. can not trust the attendants. they will stop for marketing and a smoke before u get any back. better just go on your own.

Went for Basic surgical skills course with khaibeng few days ago. met up with Fariz.She's in paeds surg now and getting married in Dec to a Chinese muslim guy! Congrats to her!

I'm also going for BTN next wk. wish me luck! any advice before i get there?

yong: eh. i lost ur number la. anyway, yim remember u, though recall more of ur sis, n say hi.

yong: yeap, it is Yim Sit Wai. went to PMC, sermban for hosueman, n to HBUK after finishin houseman. wife from kl. he will b back in N9 in mid june. will send u the contact no. remind me if i forgot. will send regards to him on ur behalf.

congrats carren for joining the ORL fraternity....u so lucky can hav 1 mth tagging. i started oncall after 3 days tagging last time due to lack of MOs...u sure will enjoy ur Dept.
anybody got their 'pengesahan jawatan' yet?? how do we DIY to speed up the process? the cc, admin.JKN,KKM and SPA taking forever to do this simple thing...

congrats again for u all for getting into ur dep... n for those who r askin for interstate transfer, ask around, coz inter state transfer shall occur on mid june.
n for seremban ppl, not sure whether u guys remember yim or not, he is goin back to n9.

started ENT last week. one of the specialist pestered cc that he can no longer stay till 6pm seeing pts.wish me luck as i start my 1 month tagging in june.

congrats to those who manage to get back to civilization! dun worry la, u wil eventually get wat u wan.. think positive!

hmm..
sounds like a great time to clear all those mountains of accumulated leave carren, b4 u join ENT which doesnt look too good for leave taking opportunities

sigh... no surprise tho, CC has extended my stay in A&E. Now I am to wait till the new ppl from district come to sban before i can go to ENT. But as i am waiting, 2 more ppl has joined A&E. next month, another 5. with only 2 working MOs in ENT, one would ask if logic even exists in the CC's head. Anyhow, I can not complain with the massive workforce in A&E as well as shift hours.Life is definitely still bearable! :-D

wow. tat bring life to the blog.

yong jr: cute baby.... just wish can pinch the cheek...

carren: congrats on the transfer, hope u can go back to ent. seems most of us r where we wanted to b. pray hard lor

yap: wil b comin south sometime soon (to lepak in jempol for holiday again.) meet u down south if around. tat goes for u too carren.

Thanks! Guys, meet Clarisse.

Alan said to me 'Now you have two wonderful ladies in your life'. I can't agree more.

Congrats lee kien n seow voon on arrival of new member in the family

Carren....Sorry to hear that the Yang Berbahagia di Administratio has decided to veto n make u dibuangkan negeri to A & E. This menaces in Administratio should be trialed for their cruelty...!!!

I hate having flu....

greetings from sban. I'm now in A&E. Apparently the medical dept is critically short with 20 MOs (previously they were doing fine with 10). So, instead of sending me to med, CC has delayed my entry into ENT by sending me to casualty for two weeks. Apparently to appease the medical specialists.

On the other hand, casualty is not too bad as we have 18 MOs including me. Only problem is i am too old for tagging. It is really exhausting. Lucky only 3 days. Day 2 today and counting down. Only hope they won't forget and just leave me to rot in A&E!
