hey u all... last day of hoship... feeling relieved, happy, excited and oh so lazy (am onleave, so sleeping most of the time) all rolled in one. Most of u ppl probably be staying in your respective hospital for another 6-8 months or so. Almost all of us here are being sent out. Kalis, Chiew Leng and I are being sent to Keningau (we still can't seem to get rid of Kalis :)). Nice place with nice new hospital, so no one's complaining. Tony being sent to Kuala Penyu, new hospital too, wonder if they make him the pengarah. Prabath is being sent to Lahad Datu and feeling miserable about it, appealing to stay. Roddy got some godforsaken place called Tungu or something. Chee Chan going to Kudat. Breithner got Pitas, this very poor district where we drove past once... saw the very big new hospital, but couldnt find the town...

Anyway, most of use will stay on in Queen for another 2-4 months or so to finish watever respective postings we have not done. Actually feel quite sien coz that will mean another 2-4 months of taking blood... feeling up forms... lying to radiologists to get scans done etc etc.... sigh

New meat coming today...

MC has passed his MRCP (Paeds) part 1. He got the news just before we went on leave. We're all really happy for him and expecting a big treat, of course.
Why has Kai Inn become so philosophical recently?
To those of you who went to Perhentian during leave, hope you enjoyed yourselves. It's good to release tension with mates who understand what you're going through, isn't it? Well, there's not been much mention of where everyone's headed to after this. But thank goodness, the new HOs are starting soon. Hmm, must try to act more mature than them... Ha! As if I know any better!

good say tai lo... last few days of holiday... really thirsty for more leave.hate to leavve the comfort home, the mummy cook food, the good old tv, my familiar bed.. arghhhhhh...well, the price of rm 2000+... wonder how much increment r we gettin as jmo.
well, another year down the bin, ,another year ahead. all the best everyone.
ps. heard mc went for mrcpaeds. anyone know how he's doin?

feel like giving up evrything and become a farmer and live happily everafter but osh shit there is no farmer in the fairy tale. what is the significant of life and i think we have asked ourself for millions of time! for me, just to put religion aside first, is to live once and for all with no regrets. we can't help to deny fear,lust to life,to die with no heir but we live once with our own way and we own everything, something in our heart that can not be taken away....

to all JMO to b ..
we all survive one year of hell, shall survive it again.
all d best!
feels good to lepak back at home again!

Remember, that in the beginning there was nothing, and so shall there be nothing in the end.

No laughter, only silence,
No love, only indifference,
No light, only darkness,
No pain, only emptiness.

to all future MO,
ahya, time flies, we all have gone through some sorts of molding progress to become of what we been expected in the past 1 year. i am sure lots of things have happened to each of us being good or bad. do we still remember our ambition when we first enter medical school? or what's left in our mind is just wanting more fame,money and superiority.
may god apollo, if he really exist, permit our years of mo to come be more meaningful to our life and humanity.
especially to roddy, tony, chee lean, chong tien and alan.
get yourself busy dying or get yourself busy living. you choose ( from shawshank redemption movie)

Hi, everybody...
Last day of my HO day today... =)
Start holiday today but dunno where to go after 12 June.
Alot have happened during the last two postings..both sad and happy, but MOSTLY SAD..well, guess i'l have to get on with life, and getting my leave approved is a good way, albeit a late one.
Any plan to go anywhere, guys and gals?
Hurrah......

Dear Dreamer in the Shadows,
Please don't do anything rash that might hurt yourself. It was not my intention to be cruel and neglect you. From here on I will try to reply your letters. I know you are exhausted and it's eating at you. Hang on. It will be over soon.
Sorry to hear that you actually have to be extended in medical due to lack of HOs. Sorry to hear you're doing back to back calls. Blame it on the new housemen whom we keep hoping to appear but never do.
As you know, Chee Foo and I were planning a trip to Nepal but it has been cancelled because our long leave was rejected. Will let you know when we plan to go next so we can take leave together. It's going to be monsoon season soon in Nepal so probably the best time to go would be early next year.
Give us a call anytime, just to chat or whatever. See ya...

Dear Seok Hong,
This'll be the last message I ever send you
It's been 4 weeks and still no word
I don't deserve it!
I know you got my last letter
I posted it right here on this Blog
So this is another note I'm sending you
I hope you read it
I'm in a cyber cafe right now
I'm paying RM 2 per hour
Hey Seok Hong,
I drank some Cola
You dare me to surf?
You know the song by Phil Collins
About the boy and the monkeys?
That's kinda how this is
You coulda rescued me from the plane crash
Now it's too late
I'm post-call
I'm DROWSY!
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or an sms
I hope you know I ripped
My pictures of Xena off the wall
You ruined it now
I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without a nasal prong
See Seok Hong,
(*Screaming*) Shut up b____!
I'm tryin to talk!
Hey Seok Hong,
That's some pregnant girl I kidnapped from outside the hospital screamin at the next computer (I don't know her, and it ain't my baby cause I don't f___ girls)
But I don't slit her throat
I just tied her up
See I ain't like you
Cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more
And then she'll die too
Well, gotta go
I'm almost here 2 hours
Oh shit, I forgot my wallet
How'm I supposed to pay?

finally, n finally ur house here in seremban has net connection. n finally, all 3 of us (yee siang fab n me) hav com in each of ur room. gues hav to take turns to go online soon. too bad ur house is out of streamyx coverage.
just got back from 2 days leave back home.....now to readjust to hell....

Wow, the last time I wrote, I just got to Alor Setar and starting all over again. Now I have finished one month of medicine in Alor Setar and I am back in Seremban for a three-day break.

I tagged for 3 days and then I was on-call. The thing I have to get used to is going to do morning rounds on weekends. Back in Kuala Pilah, we just leave the hospital during the weekend to the on-call ppl, which is a luxury.

Otherwise, workload and the way things run are pretty much the same.

The bad thing is that I have to re-start my medical posting, meaning I will finish H.O.ship only in end of July, not mid-June like everyone else.

Take care everyone.

holiday 3 days back in malacca with yeeling, just happened to visit my cousin in hosp melaka with broken leg, u know what happen? i met george for chrissake. he still the same but putting on a bit of weight still cheerful and no complain about HOship in hosp melaka. 3 holidays just not enough and back to today again...ai....stay connect everyone , happy to hear everybody is surviving and soon just soon u know....we all will be MO! hey hey ready to kick the junior HO arses. ha.

Dear Seok Hong,

Thanks for the invitation. I remember u guys have a great home theatre system. Did I mention I can only get 3 channels on my new TV in KP? I'm mistaken.. actually I can only get 2. But think will stay here till the end. Loneliness is not new to me have had it since forever; I treat acute exacerbations nowadays by sleeping them away.

No plans for MRCP or FRCS or ABCD or BABY. Just want to get thru HOship! Starting mid-May will have only 2 HOs in Med Dept. That's not too bad considering the other HO, who hasn't arrived yet, wuz supposed to be retained in O&G but they're letting him go so I don't go insane doing both 1st and 2nd calls everyday.. Now it's EODs till mid-June. But then it's Med n I'm always stoned for abt 2 days post-call.

Previously tot they'd be retaining HOs in the Depts due to shortage. They're not thank goodness. But that's also why there'll be only 2 of us soon. Catch-22.

1 HO arrived from KK last month (prev in Surg Dept n knows Roddy) asked for Med in KP, came for 2 days, took MC for 2 days, came back for 4 days, disappeared for 4 days then resurfaced in Surg Dept.

Another HO from O&G Dept in our hosp came 2 wks ago tagged for 1 and a half days then took MC for depression. She's now in Surg Dept.

Will KP be worse off than TI? Will I beat Adeline in terms of workload and calls?

Don know.. Stay tuned!

Back in KL now after abt 2 months! Miss all the shopping centres and bright lights. KP is getting a bit dreary. Hope to obtain a phone line hence Net access after June. Don think will apply for Astro too costly! Thinking of writing again but no ideas.

That's it for now. U write me one line, I write you an entire letter. When will all of us get to meet again? In the meanwhile stay connected on this Blog.

By the way u guys look out for Chee Foo ok. Hard work can be distracting but it's often not so! Hope he's ok tho'.. Also he can drive you around town :P

Cheers and beers,

Alan, the Mad Cabbage

Hi guys. Just a little under two months to go in our housemanship. What are you people's plans? Who's taking MRCP, who's planning to make a lot of money as GP, who's getting thrown to district, etc.?

MC is taking his MRCP (Paeds) Part I soon. Lee Kien and Seow Voon have plans to go to US. I hope I can stick around a bit longer in Alor Setar. Want to do my Paeds posting here and probably Anaes. Becoming an A&E MO might not be too bad either. At least they work in shifts and there's no on calls.

Tony - So jealous of you with 32 HOs in O&G.
Alan - You're welcome to join us in Alor Setar if it gets lonely in KP.
Chiew Leng, Chong Tien - Great to see you guys never lost your sense of adventure. Scuba diving. Wow!

tailo: cheefoo, let life shines like the morning cloud grow from the distance horizon
in the edge of darkness, blossom into gigantic skyline potrait
let life meet great obstacle but still courage stand and dreams stand holding on and
for us bird of mission of life shall never fail to see the wonder of nature......keep you going.
you are once again a free man, aren't you. god shall worried not we. good luck

kai inn - sorry i couldn't go out the other day when you were up here. labour room was like some mad house. good to hear that the guys actually entertained you.

chee foo - i'm sorry things didn't work out.perhaps it is a good thing that HOship is busy.at least it'll keep you on the go.Keep your mind off from the sad stuff.

lee kien - good luck in alor setar. if you consider going to another state, do consider perak.we are damn short and we have very stupid system of allocation... hmmm,that didn't sound very appealing. what the heck,come just to make up the number.

alan - planning to go home again 3rd week of april.if you are around give me a call.i'm meeting up with liza. will call the people in klang too.

chiew leng - good luck with scuba diving
kooi yen - if u are listening. happy belated birthday april fool! sorry i didn't get to meet up last week.will make appointment again some other time.
