seok Hong: u r back in Penang meh,??!! Went to our home just now (~ 5.45 pm) but ur car still there. Thot u hav slept. What form do u meant we hav to sign??

And people, if we wan our representatives to get our jubah 4 us, how do we sign the surat kuasa? Do we hav to write one ourselves or the is any particular form to sign?? Well, cant wait to c u all again in convo...

Like SH said, life in HAS not bad at all, at least 4 me in Sur. However, i'm posted to this ward call K1 (just opposite SH's ward) where we start our morning rounds with our head of departments at 7 am!!! So we hav to b there earlier than him to cover all the cases n do our rounds b4 he came, but i think some other places might b worse...however, sumthing crazy bout my ward is that it is a acute emergency surg ward, so all the specialists n consultants, heard me ALL will come to our ward to do their own rounds, OWN rounds throughout the day. So we usu end up with at least 5 ward rounds a day and do not really hav time to do the ward works which we will be scolded for later...hhhaaaiii...what luck.

There's 2 chronic HOs here who never promote to other posting, not to say to MO....they r like in their 30s...1 Chi n another Ind...they never do any calls though..the Chi only works fr 8-4.30 pm (office hours) n disappears after that...the nd HO even more "kheng", only follow the morning rounds, then disappears for the whole day. Luckily they r not in my ward. But i think they r quite 'smart' though to keep life as a chronic HO...no need to do calls, 8-5 working hours n can do locum at night. They might even end up earning more than a MO.

Doing sur here in HAS is not bad. We got to do many procedures that the Head (bog boss) said we had to do at least 3 Appendicectomies, 3 chest tubes b4 we can 'pass' to other postings. Surgeons here r crazy, they manage everything even though they don't hav the sub-specialist to do dat. Thus, neurosurgeons in Penang and Ipoh r very gratefull to us here coz we seldom refer cases for them. Those considering Surg post-graduate might wanna consider working here coz as a trainee specialist, u get to do MANY procedures, n they hav proper tutorials and conferences for training specialists, even for us HOs.

Well, enuf bout my life. On 2 days leave to settle some convo stuff. Went to a tailor just now to made the lounge sut for convo. Hopes it'll turn out nice.

Everybody out there, wish all of u good luck and all the best.....hoe we can hav get-together during the convo.
Hi guys! I'm back at home for 5 hours because have to sign the convo form to ask buddy to take jubah. Alor Setar half day on Thursday, what.
I'm doing Ortho. Not bad. Some days work from 7 am to 4.30pm. Some days until 7.00 pm. Nurses and MOs nice. Did 5 passive calls and 3 active calls already. Next active call tmrw. Passive call have to go to OT for emergency cases anytime. Active call have to see cases which come in via A+E and cover the wards after office hour. Luckily here got MAs to do CMR and POP. Glad to say at least I can insert Steinmann pin. Haven't done Ray's amputation and refashioning yet. Having aching limbs after carrying patient's leg in OT.
Alor Setar good for surgery and paeds. Ah Ngou in surgery now. The surgeons here do everything, even neurosurgery. HOs have to do at least 3 appendicectomies.
MC in O&G. Workload not too bad because can go back 4.30 pm if not on call. But said gynae nurses not so helpful.
Guan Fook having a very , very busy time in Medicine. Even have to go back to hosp. fr 8.00 -10.00 pm to do research for the department.
Food here o.k. Can get Malay food and Chinese food quite easily. Our house comfortable but don't have much time to clean it.
Great hearing from you guys. Will see you all during convo:)

Hi guys....today and yesterday was my full day off!!! wah....such a liberating feeling...finally have time to explore KK town...went to watch Terminator 3 ...wah liao...here got Golden Screen Cinema man....
Gosh...seeing pregnant ladies here up to gravida 15!!! makes me wanna take O&G (which i hate) just to become BTL specialist!!! I mean, if u calculate....(taking a gravida 9 )....there's extra work for housmen times 4 each time they come for delivery and antenatal check up (taking Para 5 at the most) After each patients that i see...i give a stern look..."mesti ikat selepas ini eh!"

cant wait to go back for convo....1 week of break.....very much needed.
Wow...i almost forgot that the blog exists! By chance someone reminded me,gosh again! So hello + warm greetings everyone! I'm in Paeds in Penang GH and now recovering from a grueling call! Ever heard of Pandas syndrome? Whoa! This 'suspected' case came in late at night and started a chain reaction of crazy investigations and numerous other admissions!The patient had myoclonic jerks of the head and left UL + vomiting + ...... Where are all the URTI's when u need em?hehe....
The abundance of houseman terror tales here could make Apartheid look like a small issue,hehe..oh well,we'll PREVAIL!muahaha!
Hope i have not lost it yet..
Penang GH is a nice place, i mean Paeds.Quite a number of kewl people,even some of the consultants are nice! My nickname in the ward is 'KOJAK' ! Numerous PMC students,i mean Penang Medical Students roam the ward i am working in,and some are babes!hehe..There's always hope,even in the darkest of times...
Do take care people + happy H.O ing. Seeya at graduation :)

Friday, July 18, 2003

wow, now i know what luxurious life you people lead in KK. Over here in ipoh we hardly see each other.I mostly see sathiya around. Chun Wearn is like getting hell in surgery. Didn't sleep a wink throughout his call. and fell asleep in the hall during CME.Almost dropped his head on the Malay girl's shoulder next to him... then again... maybe it was intentional.

Well, sathiya has said it all... we are getting the raw deal here. and today, the ketua pengarah came to bullshit. I was post call and fell asleep.
Peter's the only one enjoying here. He's in paeds and the ratio of HO to patients as we counted the other night is 1:2. Meanwhile Nissa gets 30 admissions a day in medical. The other day she somehow landed herself with two pagers (2nd and 3rd call) and was running approx 8 wards throughout the night. She has filled in more death certs than any one of us. Of course, if sathiya (O&G) fills in one, he might as well sign one for himself .

Kooi Yen: I heard about pekki going to penang. Well, enjoy yourselves. Try not to fight. Then again, you probably won't see much of each other.

Got to build up some muscles. All these ortho cases involve either fat guys or atheletic ones and holding up their limbs is a sheer agony.almost collapsed in OT after the call.

Thursday, July 17, 2003

hi yeeling here. in o+g jb hosp, the supposed the largest production unit in msia. hectic as expected. the worse is the responsibilities i suddenly have to assume like having to arm 20 pregnant ladies and insert 10 prostin 5am in the morn by myself. both of which i had no experience during medical student days. i believe half of the prostin dropped out and half the babies have incurred suspicious lacerations on their head. agreed with lee kien, good to keep low profile and act blur (not too difficult a task for me). a lot of time i was given strict warning not to include my grandma stories into the clerk sheet. (don't write the pt NBO for three days post op because the mo wants to discharge pt).

and yes tony, i do miss those uh stickers. do you people have to do a Bleeding time / clotting time? a funny, time consuming test which consists of deliberately pricking the patient's finger to assess how long it will bleed and fill some blood into a tiny cylinder , then keep turning it until it stops flowing. i really hate that one. nobody really know how to interprete the results.

Howdy everybodee?

Another week has passed. The weeks seem to pass faster now that tagging is over. Calls were ok so far. Keeping low and acting blur, but asking a lot of questions. I find that keeping a low profile works better for the houseman. A few times I noted some things and asked about it, the reply i got is: jangan buat/tanya yang pelik-pelik.

During tagging, I had a MVA pt with some upper limb fracture, and he complained of pain in excess of appearance despite sedation and I kind of asked the MO during the night round if compartment syndrome could be a possibility; and he gave me this "shut up and dont give me extra work" look and said "wah, if like this, i will be very busy everytime u r oncall". Deep inside, I was hoping that the next morning the limb would pulseless (I know this is evil and not fair for the patient) and teach him a lesson. However, the pain subsided the next day (good for the patient).

During my call at 3am this morning, I saw this patient who c/o haematemesis and while I was clerking him, I realised that he actually is having a new stroke. Then, in front of me, he aspirated vomitus and started gurgling and gasping. Quickly I set up mask, oximetry etc and called the MO. When he arrived, first thing he asked was did i do a PR. Of course i didn't, and he was displeased. I was thinking like, come on, I am more concerned about this pts ABC at this point but there he was asking about PR. Felt like PRing him there and then. The pt subsequently required intubation and ICU admission (which cost my night's sleep).

Ok, that's my rambling this time. One good thing is that I got my pay cheque for the half month too. Happy happy.

til next week.

Hi guys,

Wow, the Blog looks spanking new and cool :) Am writing from my grandma's house in M'cca. Came back here this weekend and wuz back in Subang last weekend. However will be on-call the next 2 weekends. Can't complain I suppose.

Work in HKP is quite light compared to other hospitals. There's more free time and less pts. We get to go back at 4.30 everyday, if we've finished all our work, and we get weekends and public hols off, assuming we're not on-call. The bad point is the learning experience is quite limited. I don't really mind I guess if I can go back during weekends and I actually have time to myself to do the things I want to do. It's a trade-off. Depends on the person and what he wants in life. Currently I walk around the hospital with my log-book in one labcoat pocket and Asimov's Prelude to Foundation in the other :)

However they're not sending many new HOs to KP. Because of the new 2 yr system, the Ministry counts the 2nd year HOs into the total no of HOs in the hospital. However in the hospital the 2nd year HOs are considered junior MOs and are doin MO duty and calls. I'm in O&G and by the end of August there will be 8 MOs compared to 5 HOs. In September because the HOs are spread so thin I'll be running the Labour Room on my own and having EOD calls *yuck*

People here are nice. I do get scolded now and then for doing the things I do: mostly for dreaming a lot and being slow at work :P But at the core the MOs are friendly compared to those in some other hospitals I've heard. The nurses here are like my own aunties and the specialists are ok too.

I wuz told that KP and Sungai Petani are the only 2 hospitals where HOs are off on weekends. However last weekend I met Suraya in Subang Parade and she said that in HUKM they've weekends off too. We were so glad to see each other in Parkson we screamed. Gosh it felt so good to see one of you guys again.

It's a bit quiet in KP and thank goodness Lee Kien is there with me. As you know we both are renting a house outside, despite not gettin any housing allowance, and it's quite comfortable, if not a bit bare.

Liza's mum has called the uni and has been repeatedly told that convocation IS on Aug 12 until further notice. *Sigh* why does no one believe me. UKM's convo is on Aug 16, and USM's is on Aug 8. I do think they changed it because of the clash with UKM but I'm not sure.

I don't have time to send individual greetings to each of you guys so good luck to u all, the others in your hospital, your luopos and luopizahs. Will write again sometime from a cybercafe I expect.

Cheers

tony, i don't think the conjunctivitis' virus is originated from chicken, please. and mine believe to be bacterial in origin if not it won't reponse so well with CMC eye drop. i miss my student day where i don't need even MC if i have attended more than 80%. going back to work tmr. ha i am back from heaven to hell. where is earth?

Friday, July 11, 2003

Hmmm... i heard the reason they changed the date is coz it clashed with UKM.

Anyway, Tony and I are having damn big headache securing leaves. That's bcoz there are 6 of us UM people in Surgery, and if we all go it is like 50% of the HO available leaving at the same time! The rest will just suffer. So we have to sit down and planned out our leaves so dat some go earlier, some later.... but cant do all that if date not confirmed!


I heard that Teluk Intan has only 10 HO? dats like 2 HO per posting... so EOD call maut maut ke? no wonder havent heard anything from Adeline.

my conjunctivitis is improving. going back to jb to work soon i think maybe this sunday. can't afford to spend too many days MC. ah it is a nice break but not worth it!

i am worried that our convo might be crushing with the UKM's. heard theirs in also more the less same date as ours. ah ya! how to apply for leave then.

roddy: long time never heard from you? are you alive?

Thursday, July 10, 2003

Alan just told me it's on the 12th afternoon. But seeing the way they keep changing the dates... who knows?
kalis: you are lucky already to get your pay so soon or at least you have something to be glad with in contrast to the hell of your environment. don't know when will i get mine......
no one will really believe me 'cause i am taking a big break now goyang kaki at melaka. i have an unilateral red eye now and was forced to take a eight day MC. my god, it is going to use up my entire leave for this posting. don't laugh or admired it! it is no fun at all. saw an eye MO before i got back home, he said it is most probably is a bacterial conjuctivitis-pus and pseudomembran in my right eye.

yanwei: do you remember your form six classmate, irene. she is now in JB doing Hman also(paeds). jb was not in her choices. poor girl eats only bread almost everyday. i wanna help but you know lah not convenient ma with my loupo around.

tonny:i suggest that you become our penghulu in this blog 'cause you appear more frequently but you know what, i am coming in after you.

kooi yen: i know lah. but sometimes both are busy and it makes not much different even if we were apart. you take care.

oh some said our convo will be 15-18 of august. not sure yet. any one got any idea?

Monday, July 07, 2003

1 more day of tagging....yeah.....
tomorrow must present somethiing in front of the dept...cincai lo.....
am eating more nowadays...snacking here and there.....
heard that there are 2 types of HO...one that puts on weight...while the other type loses weight.
at the rate i'm eating..think i'll end up the former.
the banana goreng here super delicious....dunno why. must be some super kadazan flour.
post call.... so tiring... one critical patient is enough to spoil ur night.... blurrr

Saturday, July 05, 2003

hey ppl....i'm counting down....3 more lousy days of tagging! and guess wat...! the day after tagging ....kena on call pulak...
today, got my my way out tagging at 6pm....that means 5 extra hours of rest...
gosh...hate O@G....the only consolation is that it's one of the more demanding posting in terms of stress and schedule of work...so by the time i do other posting...it might be a breeze......cei....as if....mana tau, still blur blur...
Hey guys,

I am in Surg too. Much more free compared to Seremban. I get to go back at 4.30pm everyday unlike Seremban where surg ppl go back at 9pm. I have 6 calls this month. Did one call already. Luckily no MVA case that night, so it was pretty ok. The roads here to Seremban and other districts very winding one, so higher chance of MVA especially after happy hour.

Feels like surg patients here are not managed properly. Got only one surgeon and he is more like a tukang bedah, he rarely actually delves into patients problems and addresses them. He just do the op. Morning round with him also super fast. The actual ppl making decisions for pts are the M.O. (there is no registrar here). The M.O. also 2nd or 3rd yr in govt service. Management here is more like symptomatic, the underlying cause not addressed and pt keep coming back. Any sakit abdomen that is not a/appendicitis - buscopan. Epigastric pain? -Cimetidine. RIF pain not fitting description of a/appendicitis - "subacute appendicitis". Renal colic - M pot citrate. No ultrasound for surgery here. OGDS also is the rigid metal one. No tube with camera. All radiology inv must be sent to Seremban. Usually before their TCA SOPD to review their IVU/US/CT etc, the pt will be readmitted bcos of the same symptoms.

This is not a place for ppl aiming for FRCS. Sure, we houseman get more chance to do procedures, but donno the way they teach us to do is correct or not.

Anyway, the good part about it is I really get a lot of free time for myself, which I really need for my own reading. So, I kerja pun tutup sebelah mata, just follow the M.O instruction only lah. Next time when I become M.O./registrar then only I try to do what is right for the patients.

I am in female surg ward. At the max also 17 + 3 beds at ony time. Last week only 6 pts for 2 days. Workload is really ok.

Remember the senior Lim Choo Ghee (i think is 3 yrs older than us), he is preparing for MRCP but he is put in O&G by the pengarah.

We got morning assembly (like school one) every first monday of the month where we line up and sing negaraku and the pengarah talks. Ridiculous, dont u think. Wonder if u guys got this also.

There is also this UPM chinese senior houseman at O&G (Alan is at O&G now), whom I think is full of himself.

Alan and I live in a rented house all by ourselves. We have not found time to make the house cosy.

Take care.


P/S BM phrases are creeping into my conversational speech, since working in govt hosp. I heard here for the first time the expression "jonah"(really unlucky; many admissions). Do they use this phrase also at ur place?

Friday, July 04, 2003

Apala u tailo. What no kaki, u staying with lao puo should be fun what. 2 weeks liao mah ok lo. can syiok syiok go over to singapore.
actually i think those who got surgery first are really lucky in the sense the we got time to adapt to this alien world. we are like a lost troop venturing into this unknown galaxy far far away at somewhere near M12?.
wah !really admired those in KK can stay together with friends, must be fun at least when you all are free.
me here hardly find kaki to cho tai ti(big 2).
chiew leng: samelah here o&g also have to do tagging from 7am to 11pm for 2 weeks leh. i hardly see my luopo around.
tonny: did u still owe me money?

Thursday, July 03, 2003

kai inn: haiya...convo that time can get from me le....your stuff still safely intact...
halo...

i hate o @ g!!!!
counting down.... 15 weeks more to go....
1 more week of tagging...tiring....645am till 11 pm everyday....
makan makan here very limited....the places where we get food here is kat "bawah pokok" or "tepi longkang" or just in hospital cafetaria....3 lousy choices...
am craving for so much food.....

Wednesday, July 02, 2003

hello hello hello!! nice to see that some ppl still got time to go blogging. U'll be hearing more from us blokes in Sabah coz we got our own apartment and phone lines and all. So no problem with internet access.

Dunno why Tony on EOD calls considering that there are 23 ho in the same posting! he just too kind that he changed with someone and ended up with EOD. TOny, Jeklin, Donna, Elsie and I are in surgery, the indians in ortho (all indians end up there), chee chan in medic, chiewleng in o&g.

Surgical life here is not bad. people here are nice, nurses dont scold. not on call can get to go home by 4.30pm if work finishes. Had my second call yesterday, slept from 12am to 6am. SO unlike my first call last saturday. berlambak-lambak admissions, barely got any sleep.

Dengarnya UH like lepak sungguh. hai... somemore can bully medical students clerk case for u. so practically no work.

Havent got much time to go exploring KK yet, gonna get a car soon.

U guys stay in touch as much as u can.

Monday, June 30, 2003

Hi, everybody.
How's all of ya doing? Hope u'l r still alive and well,hehe...
Finished tagging last Fri together wif MC and GF. SH finished hers a day earlier, well, as expected lah (she's more terrer what). Tagging days r really HELL. Start working at 6.45am n only finished at 12am. But, finally, all were behind us now..
I'm currently doing Sur, MC n Ina get O&G, GF n Lenie Med, Nurul n ???(i dunno her name) doing Peads n SH doing Ortho. although there's no life in Hosp, at least we still have a very NICE home to go back to. Only started to enjoy the house more these days since tagging r over.
Seow Voon just joined us today. She'l b doing O&G too. Hope to c her soon...
Good Luck Guys....

N i 'm on my first on-leave tomorrow, yeah....

Saturday, June 28, 2003

boy, i hate housemanship, i hate hosp , i hate oncals, i hate tagging, ow, i hate my life.
wait, i dun hav a life.
tony,
may bahailulah bless you thick thick and got super kao kao power to last ku ku. ha ha!
i jusy have my very first on call yesterday. oh my god, i can't believe i got through it and i can't make myself not to believe that i still have many more to go through. it is a strange feeling where words do not have its part to play perhaps roddy will understand me for what i mean.(my long old roommate). anyway, i am in surgery with hariz, shikin and zakiah: yeeling got o&G with yahya, gambek. rosman and ela got medicine. smoker(kamaluzaman) got paeds-he just joined us this week. i am facing singapore evryday coz i it is so unavoidable as part of the scenary through the ward windows. Jb hospital is also called as a jetplane. it looked exactly like an aeroplane from above, crushing toward singapore but failed to make it and end up as a refugee centre! wish no one will have mental breakdown within this hard time of all time. don't blame but please don't believe in eternal life it means eternal suffering.(not applicable to christian and muslim).

oh, chew ling, how am i going to get back my staff in our house meanwhile you already flying to kk. ah boy you are so lucky.

Monday, June 16, 2003

All of us posted at Negeri Sembilan went to the Pejabat today. Alan and I are reporting to Kuala Pilah tomorrow. Heard from Vijayan (who reported at KP today) said that KP Hosp is opening up another house for the incoming housemen to stay. The original house is full. Sounds good? No. The house has no electricity and water. No furnishing whatsoever except one bedroom that has beds. And it is really dusty and dirty. The clerk said they "will do something about it". Alan and I are considering a RM250/mth single storey terrace house.

Carren is sharing rooms with Mong Tieng and Rathika. Rooms are not too bad. Toilet looks good. I guess she will more when she logs on. Fab and Vicky are roommates. Their room is big, but a bit run down lah. But big. Seremban GH ppl will start tagging tomorrow, 7am-11pm.

KP looked nice and easy, and the people we met so far were friendly.
Well, this is it....the beginning of our slavery days....
Hope all of us can emerge from it in apiece.
To all my friends out there, who had been with me through thick and thin, may GOD bless you all...
Lets us wish together that from the moment we start working, the whole world (or, at least the whole Malaysia) be healthier and stronger (so that we won't suffer too much during houseman, hehe...)
Let us wish together now...Health For All...(hey, this sound familiar...isn't it our Baktisiswa Theme....)

Good Luck Everybody

Sunday, June 15, 2003

Well if KP got cinema also won't watch there :P

Anyhow am leavin for Seremban in an hour or so. This is my last post before life as a working slave begins.
Bye everyone.
A TOAST TO ALL

Each of us have different goals and objectives in family, career and life, may we all tread our chosen path with confidence.
Let us all emerge triumphant.
And not take no shit from no one no more (ok, maybe for the first few years we will, but tahan first lah).

Above all, may all of us be well and happy always.

I will always remember the things you guys have done for me and Seow Voon throughout the years. (Gosh, I sound like I am going to die tomorrow or something).
Thank you.
Hullo everyone. Good luck for everything. Remember that what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Crippled, but stronger.

Will write here if I can. My entries will probably read 'Hi. I see nobody is here still. Well guess what I did today. Slept. Yeah, same as yesterday, and the day before, and all the other days for the past 3 months. Am planning to hang out at the mall, but it won't be built till 2015 when KP becomes a city. Also abandoned all plans to exercise, having decided not to go against the course of nature, and will now go with the flo' and grow a beer belly. Cheerios.'

My singing is horrible. Cats throw potato(e)s at my window at night.

May the Shrine give Jacen the will to weather a houseman's life in KK, the strength to clean the condominium he'll rent, and the stamina to swim the swimming pool in the condominium he'll rent.

hi ppl, me again, spreader of bad news,
since this is my last day as official penganggur, jus wanna wish everyone all the best, keep cool n we'll get thru this.
me got a pep talk from pengarah of ti hosp - she very kindly posted me to o n g - considered the worse posting sighhhhh. nvrmd better do it fresh after long hols wit good supply of overload of sleep n energy stores.
keep in touch ppl. no internet access but got sms wat.
will miss u all loads, take care till convo ok
adeline
hmmm, i am afraid. very afraid...

Saturday, June 14, 2003

seok hong: with a house like that ..(at such a price!?! )..i'd opt to stay out! u can survive housemanship - hey why not...after all we survived the battle with the leeches in taman negara right? ; )
adeline: TI accom sounds sub-standard...but...look at the brighter side, it's the company dat matters. (i'm not talking bout the student nurse bunking in with u)
ju ann: Aim#1: tune up the biological clock - wake up at 6am! Aim#2: look good at GCS level of 6
carren: living on top of the hospital punya advantage: u can wake up at 7 am or later la-no problem. Wake up later pun boleh, if you sleep in the next day's working clothes....(ewe.....)
liza: your nephew's so lucky...having a aunt who will soon accumulate her gaji and pamper him!!!
yan wei: urm.... i was groggy when i answered the call just now...but i did hear wat u said....something about u depositing 4-figure $$ into my account? or was it 5..?
Masy: o&g calls masa final year shiok kan - tak tidur, 'ta bau' and makan only...i'm sure you'll miss us (budak kong and ckb) during one of those looong calls u're gonna have in UH labour room ...!
mycroft: u're on your own now, big boy oredi...find another auntie, will'ya - one who has de $$$ to give angpow?
hung tiong: best of luck -try getting real close to your 'selayang' brother-some of his good luck may actually spill over.
ckb & cky: we need to learn the art of scolding those *#& ppl by end of next week..until then, let's meet up, un-rot and do sumthing!
chee foo: remember how the drs down under work?...(dream)....sigh we won't live that kinda life...g'luck mate! btw, y stupidfella?
tony: been wanting to ask this but kept slipping off my mind : did u send gawai card to Pak Jisuk eventually??
to all the rest:
happy working!
if it's any consolation, there are solutions out there...
at a pay of about RM 2500 per month, your gaji se-jam is about RM 4. (that's if you only go on-call 8 times per month..)
If not mistaken, McD's pays about RM 3 per hour??

see u all in convo!....that is if we recognise each other, donning those penguin robes in the hot sun.
Alor Star gang going to stay out-lah. Yeah, want to 'menjalin persahabatan' with other HOs but 3 to a room not such a good idea-lah.

To everyone: See u guys during convo, ya. Remember, human beings are very adaptable and flexible. We can survive this!

as for staying out or not, f life is indeed so tiring, not worth to stay out. No2. once given a place to stay, they may not pay us our housing allowance, like klgh. so whether or not we want to stay out, depends on whether we have the option or not.
hmmm, i am afraid. very afraid...
Adeline!! u've just made my day telling me dat 9pn is a luxury. :)

everybody seems to have to work till 8 or 9. how come dont see uh ho after 5 one?
It's scary to hear Kalis' and Adeline's stories. Wagner (who is in KP) said that the typical day in K.P. ends at 8-9pm, earlier if curi tulang, but we'll have to see. Maybe it is worse during tagging.
Fab: Sorry babe, no astro. U watching spanish league? C ya.

Friday, June 13, 2003

oh forgot..
our dear senior yipkarweng said tat it is normal practice to be tagging till 11pm or 12am(n 9pm is a luxury)
alamak wasted sympathy on kalis!!!
dental officers get bout rm50 less than us as shown on the pay list we had. they r u41 too.
hmmm... wouldn mind getting rm100 less for tat life i mean for any life!!!

checked out t intan quarters today
man!!! talk bout small!! cant decide whether college 6 single rooms r smaller or TI girls accom are smaller (btw female ho live wit student nurses in nursing hostel)
equipment in gals room = one bed, one absolutely yucky 16 year old mattress with tears in it (yeah, ho time is stressful, so beat the hell outa ur mattress la), one sink with mirror (n old rice in it) -- to wash underwear i presume, one big yucks cupboard, one ceiling fan which only moves when set to maximum but still moves at minimum speed, curtains like banting pattern, one power point, one telephone----just for hospital to call u (no borak function), weelllllllll wat else huh?? -- like nothing!!

lets go to wat isnt there --- no chair, no table, no romantic lights or super duper double lampu kalimantang, no dressing table, no attached bathroom, yeah n bad line for maxis too there --- n i tot 6 college was only town place with bad maxis line

lets talk bout the privileged males :
1. they stay in proper ho hostel (why cant they stay with the student nurses -- bet they WANT to)
2. their room is like 4X the gals room size
3. they have attached bathrooms
4. must repeat BIG rooms for them --- like 3X the junior or klang rooms (honest!!!) -- u get the idea??

just bought mattress today...good investment for a ho don u think?
bet alan is sorry he said i din post nuff complaints---be careful wat u wish for .....
A day in the life of Kalisvar... tagging house officer in KK Hospital...

I wake up at 6am... groan... have to be in the ward by 6.30am. Sigh sigh... what have i got myself into. Still the people in the wards are mightily friendly. Am tagging along with a MA who's showing how to put on POP and stuff. Morning rounds... found out this has to be followed every day without exception... even on Sat and Sun! Ortho ward is full of indian mos and specialists... led by a Chinese head. lunch at hospital... dinner can go out. But have to come back to the ward till 9pm. this cycle continues for the next day... day after day for one week. Seems it's a rule in ortho that all houseman have to stay back till 9pm every working day... regardless of on call or not. Sigh... life is all within the confines of the hospital. Still... have the consolation that saturday and sunday afternoons and nights are free... if not on call. Lots of hands on to be learnt... h/o are expected to perform ray's amputation by themselves after 1 month. can't complain.
JA: yes i totally agree... anybody would look depressed on a shrine offered to jacen. Am sure they all hoped to be on the one dedicated to alan. ;)

Tony as Cleo's bachelor of the year? not impossible... time will tell. Wear the shades man... so much cooler.

Klang rooms not that bad... so what if they're small and cramped and hot and smelly? u wouldn't notice all this as soon as ur head hit the pillow. u guys thinking of renting outside tho? why not stay at miss chu's place?

No news from Kalis... hope he's not being tortured....
Fab: Carren is coming at 8.30pm. Up to you lah, come anytime you want. If you come earlier, I bring you out for dinner. From Melaka, exit at the 3rd Seremban toll (1st is Senawang, 2nd Rasah, 3rd Sban town; the reverse is true for the rest of you guys who are coming from KL). Wait at the left bank of the road immediately after you pay the toll.

(You guys who got Seremban: The 2nd eremban toll (Rasah) is nearer to the hospital, but you'll need to exit the first toll to get to the Pengarah Kesihatan in town centre).
Fab: Ei, did u receive my sms? Ur number is still 0173324207 right? Have you got a bus ticket? Come lah anytime you want on Sunday. My number is 0124102174.
no insinuations taken tony. no worries, to each his own :). u should do what u think is best for u, put ur foot down once in a while bud.

ah ngau: seok hong's home number is 04-3996355. Dunno if it's been changed.

Alan: have fun exploring the 3 wondrous streets of kuala pilah. btw... ur sis needs to see a doctor is she can mistake cow dung for bikini clad girls. Or maybe u do... ? :)

The KK hostels are for all the poor contracted doctors from Phillipines and Indon who can't speak the language properly and will die in the harsh environs known as Kota Kinabalu. Just kidding, actually may be better to stay out considering the housing allowance given.
Yan Wei: hey that explains everything.

Chong Tien: guess all my sis saw wuz a couple o' cakes of cow dung. Anyone could mistake those for bikini girls since they look so similar.

Chee Foo: that house sounds great. Home theatre system and air-con jeez

Lee Kien: I only have 2 CDs: the Eight Dimensions and the Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack. It's up to you now...

Carren: I think that means the mystery's solved. Take the RM 2 for a job well done.

After all the hype about the hostels in KK why are they not letting the HOs stay in them? Who are they for?

The reason why Shin Yi found a house wuz that they don provide accomodation for dental officers. Poor Shin Yi wuz camping in with a bunch of students outside the hospital before finding a place of her own.
seremban ppl: how sure r we at gettin the hostel?
fabian: i am drivin, n i suppose the others too, so shouldnt be a prob so far.
Alan: I did my CRP in K.Pilah..trust me...no tanned bikini-clad girls standing by roadside there.The ones your sis saw was probably just passing through on their way to KL or something.You'll see about 3 streets that make up the town and cow dungs if u drive a little further from town.
Seok Hong: U r 1 difficult to contact girl....Have to tell u dat our house-sharing plan is on. Guan Fook and MC hav given me the consent to decide for them the type of house we'll share. So, r u in? I've found 1 near the hospital, approx. 10-15 minutes walk fr home to hosp. Single-storey but big house. Unfortunately, only 3 rooms but definitely >= 2 bathrooms. Hav 2 living rooms and if i did not heard wrong, kitchen is equipped (yeah, u can cook for us, yeah), hav TV, refrigerator and all basic furniture. Heard got Home teatre system too and air-con. I've been to the house b4 and it's really nice n roomy. If everything i said is still there, it's a great house isn't it? N oohh, the rent is RM450/month. So, if u read these, please contact me ASAP. My hp is 019-4283239, n my home 04-9251776.
And does any1 hav Seok Hong home tel?
Thanx..

Alan: That really was a weird dream. If you don't mind, do bring the VCD to KP, I am bringing my TV and VCD player there. Bring music CDs also lah.
Alan: i wonder why ur sis even bothered to point it out to u... not that it'll make any impression right?

Well since Kalis is so tied up in KK w/o internet access lemme tell u wat's been happening to him.

He checked in 9th... and found out he'll be doing orthopaedics. Also found out that the hostels in KK are not accommodating us. They will grudgingly allow us to stay a maximum of 2-3 months before forcing us to pack our bags and leave... whether we have alternate accommodation or not! ok... maybe they're not that cruel...

he is currently staying in the hostel, which is apartment style with 2 rooms. He is sharing the unit w/ another doctor. He has a double room so one of us will room with him when we arrive while looking for another place to stay.

Seeing that he has flown soooo far and is sooo willing to serve the needy people of sabah, the authorities decided to take pity and gave him the next day off!! UNRECORDED! cool, havent start work and we get leave! :) So he went about doing his stuff and house-hunting.

Started tagging the next day, only finished work around 9pm... ended his sms with "May God have mercy on my soul". Go figure...
alan: i owe u RM2
i heard that after we meet the pengarah, take our time in reporting at the hosp. move into our rooms first. report only at 2pm cos they may ask us to work straight away.
others: i may look like i'm online (away) on the msn but in actual fact it is my double trying to destroy my life. just ignore it. when i'm online, i'm really online, ok.

Chong Tien: my sis noticed a bunch of cute tanned bikini-clad girls standing by the side of the road in Kuala Pilah as we drove past. Apparently that's standard attire for females there.

If that's not advertising I don't know what is....

Seok Hong: thanks for your faith! I also suspect that you've not read anything I've written ever :) You wouldn't have been so encouraging otherwise! Some of my works are so boring I fell asleep reading them myself :D

Yan Wei: yes I shudder to imagine meeting the rest of the Pok clan. Who would have known that I'd run out of the saucepan (Melaka) into the fire (Kuala Pilah). My dad called Kuala Pilah a 'Pok stronghold' but I think the naughty man wuz trying to spook me. Apparently many of them have either died or moved.

Carren: have you solved the Riddle of the Missing Twenty yet? Don't lose too much sleep over it, since sleep is a valuable commodity in coming days.

Mycroft: nevermind. And yeah seems you and Yan Wei are in sort of a stalemate with Adeline and me ready to refer cases at bidding.

Tony: the hostels in KP are unfortunately no match for the ones in UH. It's up to KK now.

Masyithah: damn :)

Lee Kien: damn :P

Justin: I had this totally weird dream of quietly sitting with Jay Chou in my house in Melaka watching his own MTVs. I asked him which was his personal favourite but I woke up before I heard the answer....

Ju Ann: it's impossible to mistake me for Lee Ling as Fabian says she smells of strawberries, whilst I smell of pinewood. Have bought lots of instant noodles so won't be testing culinary expertise anytime soon.

Murali: so when you going to Penang?

Fabian: you bought any durian for your nephews/nieces? Careful when you're still sleeping they play with it...

Chee Foo: still rotting over there? Contact Kavita for tips on how to disguise smell of decay.

Adeline: we're not hearing quite enough from you. Where are the quips? The inaneness? Your thoughts on high-heeled shoes, your brother, Ipoh food, life, the universe, and everything?

Kavita: I'm sorry our quest for the ultimate chocolate cake fell through. Let's keep this appointment pending ya, but not too long lest I'm old and eating it gives me an MI.

Have acquired 'the Animatrix'. Bought it within 5 minutes of catching the trailer outside the store. Hope watching it can match the incredibly surreal experience viewing 'Spirited Away' in the cinema long ago with that other pig I know. VCD version, but not very clear tho original. Am adding it to my 'Alternate Realities' collection of outstanding works of science fiction or fantasy in book/movie/animation/music form. Reviews soon.

Having short burst of good nature. Expecting it to end by 7.30.
Egypt bans "too religious" Matrix ~ BBC News 11 June 2003

Global blockbuster The Matrix Reloaded has been banned in Egypt because of its "violent" content and because it tackles "religious themes". The country's censorship board said the film's storyline, about the search for the creator and control of the human race, may cause "crises". Violent scenes also had the potential to "harm social peace", a statement said.

The country's most senior film committee, made up of 15 critics, academics, writers and psychologists, watched the sequel on Monday. A statement said: "Despite the high technology and fabulous effects of the movie, it explicitly handles the issue of existence and creation, which are related to the three divine religions, which we all respect and believe in."

The movie "tackles the issue of the creator and his creations, searching the origin of creation and the issue of compulsion and free will," it said. "Such religious issues, raised in previous times, caused crises. Violence also played a part in the decision", the committee said. "Screening the movie may cause troubles and harm social peace," according to the statement.

One Egyptian critic, Wael Abdel Fatah, said: "The press launched a campaign to stop showing the movie, saying that it reflects Zionist ideas, and promotes Jewish and Zionist beliefs."


Yong sez: No comment.
UH girls: Lucky you! A nice place to stay certainly will boost morale and recharge the mind.
Wonder what it'll be like in K.Pilah.
fabian: yeap d'arcy member of now-defunct smashing pumpkins
murali: right-o, no more pen names
d'arcy: ta-ta
mycroft lee:stop encouraging adeline on the referrals or i'll start getting alan to refer everyone to seremban!

Wednesday, June 11, 2003

yap got his first choice too. so the 2nd, 3rd choice theory doesnt apply.
wonder how seremban hostel looks like. n dun worry bout ED call in TI, heard tht all u do is refer to ipoh.
suddenly got wind tat teluk intan rite now, has like 4 ho. so plus the known um ppl posted there including urs truly, there will be a grand total of......... SEVEN!!!!
wow, considering tat there are 5 compulsary postings, tat works out to like 1 or 2 ho per posting.....
does tat mean i m in for ED (nope, not erectile dysfunction, but everyday) calls!!!!!!??????
plus point is -- this sounds like a real effective weight loss programme
i'm smilling ppl, really smilling,=) see smiling :) still smiling :] barely smiling :/ errrrrrr... I WANT MY MUMMY!!!!!! :,(
Fab: i saw one of us using the pseudonym d'arcy, and i didn't who that is. Then 'stupidfella' told me d'arcy=Chiew Leng

The question is: who is stupidfella now?

Maybe I should change my name to Glay or Lunasea or something.
lee kien:i don't think we should advise your juniors to put their actual choice as second or third.ling sze had taiping as her first choice with hopes of getting ipoh (2nd and 3rd choices).She got her first choice and no reason to appeal back to ipoh.
Tony : Jesline Lai Lian Sing is Chee Foo's gf..
Tony : I have a feeling CFN = Chee Foo Ngou, and BCFN = Bryan Chee Foo Ngou...
CHee Foo : Hey Chee Foo, if i am right, we all wanna log onto the Blog and recognize the names easily, more so as we're all about to start dissapearing from the BLOG and start WORK ! sO,if u could change your name back would be great!
eee
d'arcy is Dr. Lee Chiew Leng...

Tuesday, June 10, 2003

Who is d'arcy
Some interesting trivia:

Everybody seems to get their second or third choice. Maybe we should advise our juniors to put their actual first choice as second or third, then they will get what they wished for.

If we were not in the new UM MBBS curiculum, at this moment right now we would be in the midst of taking the final exam. (gasp)

There are 60 Chinese first-year intake for UM MBBS this year. 30 of them are from Penang. 16 of those, from Chung Ling. (double gasp)
tony:congratulations on the mail.guess it was just sitting there growing algae.should have beat up the guy after that.(your first casualty)
syitah: yeah,i heard about the UKM people too.That's why i'm a little worried.They are apparently all over ipoh.... which suggest that we'll probably get the old block of hostel while they are already occupying the new one. Must have missed ur news somewhere but who are the 7 in UH?I don't do karate chop anymore....i'm into firearms now:) upgraded. what's idilia's hp number?
kooi yen: the chee cheong fun in TI is not very great so don't give ade false hopes.
tony: yes, we know who yee siang is.. well, the more the merier, welcome to seremban!!!!
n yes, we will uplift the tradition of Ho bullying MS

Monday, June 09, 2003

Seok Hong:sorry i didn't visit. A lot of things came up last minute and I had to be around PJ.
Klang: Good news. No more evil O&G consultant
Seremban: Pls torture the IMU students at will.
KL: So many of you there...probably need to take shifts during calls
Penang: Enjoy the good food and beaches.
UH: homeground. Well sheltered.This batch of final years are quite stressed now. Make sure you add on to their agony :)
Kuala Pilah: Where??? heard there are many Pok clans there so if you want to beat up Alan make sure you bring him to Seremban first.
To the rest.... the countdown has begun. Best of luck.
alan: wht did i do wrong? over estimate my market value????????
night call

if ever..
there is this feeling…

that when the city’s sleeping…
you feel like running...
your faith is dying…
meaning of life is fading..

don’t give up, don’t give in,
there is a sun
it’ll come, the sun.
an ode to pre-housemen

clock is ticking…
hell approaching…
what’s this sick nauseating
feeling…
so overwhelming..

armed with our MBBS
are we truly prepared?
or would we fumble at BLS and ACLS?

now i see..
why we have CPC..
the one skill that becomes handy..
i foresee…
fill up the death cert! says the missy
Alan: i can sense ur power is really diminishing if the empty shrine dedicated to u is any indication. however, may ur power flourish again in KP.

Fab: Thanx, ur few words mean so much to me...

Alor Star geng: Do u all know how to go to the Pej. Kesihatan Negeri? If not, can call me anytime (my hp:0194283239 or housephone 049251776) or if u all wish, any other arrangement is welcome...been checking out the hosp. and hostel. Workloads now moderate. Been told there's 2 batches of HO oredi started working (USM people one of them). Ho quarters quite nice but slightly cramp for the moment coz old HO haven check out. So some rooms might need to between 3 people...hai, considered we had our own room during final year. But the room is spacious and hav own toilet..The guys and gals live can live in same block, but obviously not same room. Our blocks just beside nursing quarters, even nearer than those in Banting. Hope to see all u guys/gals later.

To all my former batchmates: ALL THE BEST. KEEP IN TOUCH,OK?
Chong Tien : No probs mate! Weird sleeping on a king sized bed all by myself though...hehehe..not that i'm hinting u'd be good bed company or anything of the sort...hehehehe..i was on the 11th floor, had a magnificent view of Penang city + all it's splendour! Lotsa lights and chics all over, that i am indeed optimistic of the coming year ahead! " Carpe Diem " ...

Kalis : How's work in KK man? Keep us at the edge of our seats on whats going on there....


Mu!! i'm sorry i missed meeting up w/ u in penang! how was cititel? comfy for the night?
Alan : My phone went into sudden cardiac arrest again...sorry i couldnt reply your msg in time! Time of phone death : 12 pm Sat :( Sent it for repair again,with mounting anger and frustration! How are u keeping my friend? The wedding was awesom and i did get the gift engraved in time! Dont know whether she's opened it yet, i'll wait and hope she likes it !

Seok Hong : Thanx for the gastrointestinal delicacy listing of Penangs finest , it's surely mouth watering! Hope we have time to eat though....

Nick Rhodes : Woi, apo macam ! I think we GET to work Sat + Sun too, and on passive call days, we're stuck in OT at any time they wish to call us (that's during surg + ortho). This is from my friend who's now doing h/manship...May not be so everywhere though!

Actually fab... dat's the exact same thing i would like to know.
Ngou: Your idea about staying out is worth considering. Can test my cooking skills, leh? I think you can cook vegetarian food very well, right? But let's see how the hostel is like first. After all, just 5 minutes walk to hospital, what.

Kooi Yen and Murali: I think Kooi Yen knows the eating places on Penang Island better than me. But if you happen to come to the mainland, I can show you where to get the best char koay teow and koay teow soup. Also where to eat nice hokkien mee, curry fish head, bah kut teh, teowchew porridge, mamak mee goreng, dim sum and vegetarian food, all in the same area.
I'll look up you guys when I go back to Penang one of the weekends. After all, Alor Star only about one hour's drive to Perai.

Alan: Kuala Pilah might just be the perfect setting for you to produce some great literary works. Hey, I'm not being sarcastic. I hope to see your work being published some day.

Hung Tiong: Go impress those juniors in Klang!

Syitah: Thanks for the list of who's going where. Ipun dah dapat surat belum?
Mycroft: like Jacen, you tend to overestimate your own market value.

Sunday, June 08, 2003

Kalis will be the first among us to suffer. Good luck to you.
Justin: do contact us when u are in Klang Valley.
Tony: you better contact KKM again if you do not receive your letter within the next 2 days.
Fabian: Seremban was Mong Tieng's 2nd or 3rd choice. Most people who got Seremban did not put it as 1st choice, maybe that is why I didn't get posted there.
Ju Ann, Carren, Yan Wei and Chun Wearn: meet at our usual meeting place and time tomoro.
Everyone: Enjoy your holidays now and enjoy your working life later.
countdown: 1 week to go
well, gues everyone is busy enjoyin the last bit of holiday.
well, alan, u r welcome to sleep in seremban, but do tell ealier, so i would wear double layers pants on the nite.
anyway, seremban ppl, wan to meet up b4 reporting? still thinking whether to go down earlier or not. may go down on 15th straight to seremban to spend the nite in yap house, or mayb in subang. may even go down earlier.
Don't always take things personally. I'm leaving on the 15th.

Saturday, June 07, 2003

Thank you Carren for answering on my whereabouts... have u perfected ur sushi art? u now have so many guinea pigs to try it on in Seremban. I'll be going down again this Monday to send my sis to UiTM.

Alan: Make Kuala Pilah any more appealing and i may consider swithching there. Keep up the good promo work.

Kalis is flying off tomorrow, he's the pioneer who shall pave the way and make life more comfortable for the rest of us in KK!! Kudos to him!! Good luck!!

Tony... well if Roddy also hasnt received his mail u can be consoled that bintulu is about the same standard as KK. Gosh I hope not!!

Fabian: go rock Seremban!!

Everyone else: enjoy working life, and tell us all about it here if can!

Fabian: will be seein you in Seremban I guess. Stay over in your room on weekends ok. Roomies again. Since my other ex-roomie won't be around (yes, talking to you).

Tony: open up! Tho' I'm not quite into Blink either. Have you tried the music of the guy whose picture you see in this page? Fabian, time to introduce him to Slipknot.

Kooi Yen: hope your Thai trip wuz a blast. No doubt your shopping gene was running on overtime. You probably have every Hello Kitty shirt ever made ever. Do still owe you a poem, which I've had no inspiration to write yet.

Masyithah: go kick some kiasu junior ass ok.

Idilia: good luck in Kuantan. It wuz just yesterday that I nearly drove you, Adeline and Ella headfirst into another car in Sepang.

Murali: hey are you still using the same no? Sent an sms over.

Kalis: will miss our evil gossip days back in college. Good luck since you're starting first.

Kai Inn: good luck in JB. Can accompany Yee Ling shopping in Singapore.

Mycroft: see you in Seremban too. If Fabian in M'cca on weekends will sleep on your mattress.

Seok Hong: how are you doing? Good luck in Alor Setar.

Justin: not heard from you since yesterday. Call me you pig!
Wuz at Kuala Pilah Hospital today with me parents and sis en route to M'cca. It's GORGEOUS! For those who haven't seen it, it's a tight aggregate of modern grey low buildings joined by stretches of long cool shaded corridors. It's all quite new and sporty, NOTHING like Banting Hospital. All around are wide open areas of short brown grass (maklumlah the driest area in M'sia), and, standing in the hospital compound, you can see mountains in the distance. There's an out-of-the-way relaxed resort feel to it rather than a busy depressing hospital atmosphere. Possibly because today's a holiday and the hospital's deserted. I think I might enjoy my work and stay there. Possibly. Not expecting too much just yet. Every candle casts a shadow. Maybe the novelty will wear out in a week. Before terminal boredom sets in. Maybe the only cases I see are dengue and bronchiolitis. Argh!

Sigh.
Anyway, LET'S MAKE MONEY PPL. Three cheers to Adeline :D
hullo everybody, my call for ppl to join me in sban seems to be effective. tentatively, ppl there (phantoms/non-phantoms) are rathika, mong tieng, yap, fabian, roshan, anand, vicky, wen jih and me! ha ha, it will become kampung UM!!! the rest are welcome to appeal to sban. the more the merrier and less work!!!!
Fabian: glad u decided not to appeal
Yong: CW has no internet at home, Jason is the guy who is in kl now and is busy so no time to post anything.
who's nick rhodes (the real person)
Fab: Justin Timberlake of N'sync. Nahh, actually it's Hung Tiong. Guess who is Jason/Jacen.
GCT: You haven't posted anything recently. And where is Sathiya and Roshan?
Did anyone invite Chun Wearn?
Kalis: Take care man. Don't let those guys gang up on you.
hei ppl
happy yet sad to read the blog

ok ok
must be positive
LETS MAKE MONEY PPL!
