Blissful Bizarre

Found it!

2011-10-17T14:51:00.003+08:00

I finally found what I’ve been searching for my whole life from every inch of the world! *exaggerating mode*

These are my happy pills today! More to like an overdosed drug.

My all time favourite notebook

Sekarang saya sudah lebih bersemangat untuk memulakan alam kehidupan yang baru iaitu alam pekerjaan. TIPU JERRR!!! *konflik dalam diri membuak-buak*

But honestly, with these notebooks in hand, makes me feel more stylo about walking in the boring white coat with a stethoscope hanging around my neck. This kind of notebook has a little significant story in the history of my life. First of all, I fell in love at first sight when I first saw this notebook during window shopping back in Malang. Due to economical reason, I got a couple of these after a long consideration. Secondly, I am always in search for a unique, easy-to-use-and-keep and pretty notebooks to have in hand, and this is my most macho!

This is what I woke up to. This is where I first had my roti cheese. I forgot who introduced me to this, probably Elisha or Syaz or anyone of the girls, and this is where I first had it. Back then, there were no other mamak who had this on their menu except here in Taj, then Melur had it. Talking about Taj, I’m glad to know that they are categorized as restaurant ‘sangat bersih’ by the MPSJ. Seriously, once I checked-in there (in 4sq) most of the tips were about the cleanliness of the place, and seriously habuk pon tarak!

Then this! Quarter chicken with the marvelous gravy at Dave’s Deli. I love Dave’s Deli at the same level of my love for Kenny Roger’s. I like the fact that they had the protein as the main dish and the carbs as side dishes (talking about nutrient imbalance which I supposed to suit me). Again, I am glad to know that they had upgraded the restaurant to double (or triple) the size of the previous ones (which is now taken over by Starbucks). Okay, there’s Starbucks in Subang Parade! WeEehOo~ excited tanpa makna atas sebab pengangguran :(

Silalah ke Subang Parade! It has always been my comforting neighbourhood mall… me and my aunt used to walked to Subang Parade when we were bored (eleh, macam tau je ‘boring’ tu ape, padahal mase tu masih zaman higunsan budak tadika…)

The Day I Say My Oath

2011-09-30T16:22:00.000+08:00

“Wherever the art of medicine is love, there is also a love for humanity” – Hippocrates

By the Dean, dr. Karyono, Sp.PA, who interviewed me during the admission test 6 years ago.

On the 27^th September 2011, after a long awaited moment, in order to start practicing my dream, I had to say the Hippocratic Doctor’s Oath.

Read, and signed!

Located in our own university’s main hall, Samatha Krida, Universitas Brawijaya, 101 ~~students~~ new doctors were gathered again for what we called Sumpah Dokter.

Demi Allah, saya bersumpah bahwa :

Saya akan membaktikan hidup saya guna kepentingan perikemanusiaan,

Saya akan memberikan kepada guru-guru saya penghormatan dan pernyataan terima kasih yang selayaknya,

Saya akan menjalankan tugas saya dengan cara yang berhormat dan bermoral tinggi, sesuai dengan martabat pekerjaan saya,

Saya akan senantiasa mengutamakan kesehatan penderita saya,

Saya akan merahasiakan segala sesuatu yang saya ketahui karena pekerjaan saya dan karena keilmuan saya sebagai dokter,

Saya akan memelihara dengan sekuat tenaga, martabat dan tradisi luhur jabatan kedokteran,

Saya akan memperlakukan teman sejawat saya sebagaimana saya sendiri ingin diperlakukan,

Dalam menunaikan kewajiban terhadap penderita, saya akan berikhtiar dengan sungguh-sungguh supaya saya tidak terpengaruh oleh pertimbangan keagamaan, kebangsaan, kesukuan, politik kepartaian atau kedudukan social,

Saya akan menghormati setiap hidup insani mulai dari saat pembuahan,

Saya tidak akan memepergunakan pengetahuan kedokteran saya untuk sesuatu yang bertentangan dengan hokum perikemanusiaan, sekalipun saya diancam.

Saya ikrarkan sumpah ini dengan sungguh-sungguh dan dengan mempertaruhkan kehormatan diri saya.

101 doctors of batch 2005 Universitas Brawijaya

Congratulations to all my classmates for making it to the first class graduation, and especially to my Indonesian fellows who successfully passed the UKDI. I am really sorry for those of you who did not passed. I am honestly believe that God has a better plans for special people like you (seriously!!), and to my very first Indonesian friend, Dicky, you’re one of the very compassionate person I knew, thanks for being there, singing for us, despite of everything!

Thank you everyone for the warm wishes, thank you to my best friend Frente for attending the ceremony even if it means for her to skip work, and a very big appreciation to the one person who deserves it all, mama.

With mama and Frente

The Last Day of School

2011-07-14T23:33:00.002+08:00

So, it is official that we’re not student anymore. Alhamdulillah.

6 years of study completed. As scheduled, 5 years and 9 months. Everything is settled, on time, just on time.

Today is the day where my prayers are being answered – to graduate on time!

14th July 2011, Yudisium dokter, angkatan 2005, gelombang 1.

Today is our Yudisium. I don’t know what ‘yudisium’ actually means, but what I get is, it is the day where something is to make official. We once had our yudisium sarjana kedokteran on September 2009, it was when we took the Dokter Muda oath, denoted that we had successfully finished our study and getting license to practice as trainee.

Today, our yudisium is to appoint us officially as doctors or better known as general practitioner (tapi nanti balik Malaysia kena jadi houseman balik…)

We'll be back to serve you!

Besties - From Bogor to Bandung

2011-07-05T11:45:00.001+08:00

Enough of paragliding, we went up Puncak to have the famous Sundanese cuisine at a famous Sundanese Restaurant on the hill top. Oh wait, sorry! The Sundanese lunch was the day before.

After paragliding, we went straight to Bandung.

The view on the way Puncak - Bandung

Not using the new highway which connect Jakarta-Bandung, we followed the old road which has to go up and down the hill through Bogor instead. Just as we sail down the road, we missed the first intersection to Bandung and drove down the way to Sukabumi. Fortunately, we had the iPad 2 in hand and given direction from a very nice and friendly policeman, we made it back to the right path.

By chance, we found many durian stalls by the road side, so we stopped by for some! Duriannnnn time!

I *love* durian ^_^

After hours of driving…

Welcome to Bandung, Bil!

Taraaa it’s Bandung baby! That was my very first time in Bandung (yeah, after almost 6 years in Indonesia!). I always wanted to find out about what is there in Bandung that attracts so many Malaysian to go to. My mom, my sis, my aunts, everyonneeee goes to Bandung. They said it’s for shopping. Let’s see… wait! no shopping for me! I had just enough cash for something else, and shopping was never on my top priority. Well, we’ll see…

First stop in Bandung was to have lunch. Lapar gile kotttt, kita makan durian je dari pagi! This is it, the famous steak in town Suis Butcher. Memang sedap!

Frente's grilled sirloin with chef's sauce

Mine, tenderloin with cheesy bolognaise

We first drove down the most talked about Jalan Dago. Since it was weekends, the traffic was a bit shitty. Jalan Dago is well-known for it’s shopping spree! Well, most factory outlets are there. I didn’t study much on shopping in Bandung (cause I simply wasn’t looking forward for shopping!!). Hell yeah, the factory outlets look so alluring from the outside, like villas, like holiday cabins with beautiful landscapes and homey. Alhamdulillah, dugaan hari pertama tidak membawa ku masuk ke mana-mana FO.

Before it gets dark, we decided to find a place to stay. Thanks to Bang Agnes who had arranged an accommodation for us. Without any help from the GPS, Frente confidently drove up the hill of Jalan Setiabudhi to Hotel GH Universal.

“Buseeeett!! Is this the hotel?”

A very Victorian style hotel

And wait til we get inside…

I should have take some photos of the maids, their uniforms are very victorian-ish and cute.

“Doble bussssettt! I am Your Royal Highness”

Inspite of the little technical problem with the receptionist, we were brought into our room after about 30 minutes of waiting. But it was alright, I enjoyed the feeling of sitting on a comfy huge Your-Royal-Highness-kinda chair while admiring the interior of the lobby.

Frente is dealing with the receptionist

It seemed like we had to cancel all the to-dos in Bandung at night. The room was so gorgeously designed that we chose to just stay in, besides Frente was so worn-out after a whole day driving and flying (the paragliding) hehe. No Bandung ~~street foods~~ for dinner… we dropped down and dozed off in our princess-like beds.

Our princess-like beds

The next day, with full of enthusiasm, we checked-out the hotel after breakfast and put on our adventure hat and drove back down to the town. First stop was Cihampelas Walk. It was bad that I found TLTSN (The Little Things She Needs) shop. It is more or less like Vincci, but in a more funky and easy-going style. I ~~successfully~~ bought… 3 pairs of shoes and few sets of bangles. Damn, tak puas!

Next was, Rumah Mode. Who on earth had been to Bandung but didn’t know what Rumah Mode is?! I am not going to explain any further about what Rumah Mode is, but holy sheep, awesome!! Again, I successfully bought… a dress, a blouse and a vest. Alhamdulillah, only 3 items. But, whatthaaa?! Kata tanak shopping??!!! There goes!

Ibu Batagor. Kalau pergi Bandung kena makan road-side Batagor. MESTI tau!

Initially, I was trying on few very comfortable floral-printed cotton dresses in Rumah Mode which they didn’t have my size (busettt, emang rame yang seukuran/segede aku sampe abis bajunya?!), I thought it was fine, it means that I got to save my cash! However, Frente thought that I really should get those dresses cause they look so good on me (she said!), therefore we had our next stop at Heritage.

Dang, two more dresses safely tuck in the bag now. *happppppy!*

Getting souvenirs at KertaSari

I felt so overwhelm yet defeated by my own shopping-desire. Hence, I ought to buy some souvenirs for the others. The traffic was worse than ever, we stuck on the road for hours that we didn’t get to move to many other places. No ~~Trans Studio~~, no ~~Tangkuban Perahu~~ (actually memang tak plan pon nak pegi sana… kemarin kan dah puas main dkt Dufan).

Lapar...

Cut the crap out, we went to The Valley for a late lunch. Frente memang beria-ia nak bawak I pergi sana, sebab dia asyik cakap pasal tempat2 best for dining + sightseeing in Bandung, it was like everytime we went for melepas-stress at Batu, it would reminded her of Bandung. So, there was The Valley – amazing! We had our lunch at the balcony of a restaurant-resort on the hill top, overseeing the view of Bandung, Subhanallah there was such a breathtaking moment.

Can't I get enough of pasta?

Over-looking this while having lunch

Next, balik!!!

Driving back to Jakarta. Daaa~

Paragliding Again - Puncak, Bogor

2011-07-05T08:16:00.000+08:00

That was one of my sweetest travelling escapades with Frente.

Good Morning Bogor!

Waking up as early at 4:15 a.m didn’t seem to be a bit of a problem for me. That was the day we’ve been planning for for monthsss! I was so thrilled, despite of the very gloomy in dawn down town Jakarta, but not right after we hit the highway.

“OMG, these people are starting congesting the road as early as 5 a.m?”

The way up to the paragliding platform, where we parked the car while waiting for the time to fly.

Itulah, orang pergi mencari rezeki. Nak kata apa… tapi nasib baik kita tak tersangkut dalam jam, sebab kitaorg pergi the other way, out from Jakarta. To avoid the traffic wasn’t really the reason why we went out the house that early. Actually, we were planning to go for paragliding in Puncak, Bogor. Yayy! Excited!! jealous tak?

The view from the platform, before it gets a lil bit crowded.

Arriving Puncak a bit too early for paragliding. We called the instructors (in fact that we already went here the day earlier, but it wasn’t too windy for gliding, therefore we asked for the instructor’s number for booking), and they were still sleeping yet. hahaha excited terlebih punya pasal.

Chilling up the paragliding platform waiting for the wind to get a lil bit stronger

One of the best moments together, doing things we both love

However, Puncak was mesmerizingly beautiful. It is hilly sides about two hours drive from the Jakarta city. Just like Batu to Malang (but in a more developed manner). Needless to say, it was cold up there (but still I can afford to stand in short pants), and the hills are gorgeously covered with tea plantations and a lot of other colorful mountains shrubs. We parked the car on top of the hill, with the rare side facing the slope, we open up the car boot and snuggle ourselves inside while beholding the scenic greenish hilly view of Puncak. That is why I love big cars, and Frente’s CRV is just perfect!

Frente took off

Safety checked!

Then it was almost 9 a.m, the paragliders started to ramble up to the platform. We waited for few hours til the weather is perfectly windy for gliding. I was informed by the professionals that paragliding in Batu is way much better than one in Puncak, in terms of the height and wind. Cost wise, both are almost of the same price. I am more than proud that both of us had been on the paragliding in Batu back last year. Conversely, the view in Puncak was way much charming albeit of only got to be in the air for 10 minutes or so.

The view from up above. Excuse the snickers, they've got to lend me the shoes since I was barely on slippers

Apart from just gliding with the wind, I’ve met few people and made a few friends there. There was an uncle who has a big love for flying, that he worked all his life for this hobby. He once had stayed in Malaysia too and still managed to practice gliding somewhere back in Negeri Sembilan (I am yet to find out paragliding sites in Malaysia). Pilots from Malaysia got their license and training from Batu! *ehem!* and most of all, I tandem on my pilot who was the champion of paragliding back in the recent Sea Games.

Can you spot me?

Enough of paragliding, we went up Puncak to have the famous Sundanese cuisine at a famous Sundanese Restaurant on the hill top. Oh wait, sorry! The Sundanese lunch was the day before. After paragliding, we went straight to Bandung actually.

The landing pad

Those kids were so helpful putting the gears off us as soon as we landed. How adorable!

Trip to Banyuwangi - Ijen Crater

2011-06-14T01:29:00.000+08:00

The next day, we woke up real early. The frigging cold bath didn’t even matters; we got into our hiking gears and excited to go!

Mas Agus picked us up. Mbak Syifa handed us under his responsibility because she believes that Mas Agus is the king of the mountains. Oh yes, he is! He climbed up numerous of mountains nationwide, and I bet he could hike up Ijen in blindfolded.

We climbed up 2368m in 2 and a half hour. yeah!!

On your mark… get set… GO!

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Go! go! cayok!

The sulfur carrier. This is half way through the creater, at the balai penimbangan.

This is at the balai penimbangan sulfur. These men can carry up to 100kg of sulfur on their back down the mountain. They get Rp1000 for every kilogram. It is so sad... especially when I saw an old man sitting at the side of the hiking track, taking out his water tumbler and mixed it with a sachet of Enerjoss powder (energy drink something like RedBull). It is tearing me to know how much effort they have to take to earn that very little money for living, and even worse, they have to jeopardize their health and take the energy drink which is the major factor for most kidney failure cases :'(

Ya Allah berkatilah hidup mereka,

murahkanlah rezeki mereka,

permudahkanlah urusan mereka.

Continue walking...

The fluffy clouds

Subhanallah, the breath taking view on the way to the top

Girl power!

Ada sikit2 macam Teletubbies Land?

Spot me!!

Subhanallah...

Reaching the top

This is it!!! Kawah Ijen

Yay, we've made it girls!!!

Ada signal! boleh check in foursquare

Men carrying blocks of sulfur from below the crater, up to the top, and down the 2368m mountain.

pinggir kawah Ijen

Wish Zuffy were here...

On the way down, lapar... POpMie time!

At the other side of the mountain, this is the man made sulfuric water fall. Was built hundreds of years ago by the Dutch.

Kite naik 4WD tu..

Trip to Banyuwangi - Baluran National Park

2011-06-14T00:36:00.000+08:00

Last weekend was too awesome that I almost forgot to take my breath back.

A friend told me,

“If you have a dream, write it down!”

It suddenly came to flash back the time when me and my housemates were spending our lazy Sunday morning watching the TV about 2 years ago. What we saw on TV really caught our attention. It was a travelling tv program, showing interesting places in Indonesia. The host went to a very unique place, which looks like a safari in Africa, with the high trees in a desert like ground, and wild animals running free. It was Baluran National Park. I remembered Ima took our phone book and jot it down right away. So, Baluran National Park, Banyuwangi – is somewhere we MUST go!

Then, it was the Ijen Creater a.k.a Kawah Ijen. I saw that about a year ago from the internet. It was mesmerizing in the picture and I couldn’t get my mind out of it. I really wanted to go, but I was too doubtful about my friends to go hiking the mountain with me. I told Frente anyway, and there was Mbak Syifa too. What a coincident, Mbak Syifa’s hometown is in Banyuwangi, where both Baluran and Ijen are. OMG!!!!!!

So apparently, Mbak Syifa had been planning to bring me there, to fulfill my wishes. It has been months. When Mbak Syifa offered me and my friends to come along with her to Banyuwangi, without sparing a single second, I agreed to go! Then I convinced my friends to come along.

There was quite a long story beneath it all, until we made it to Banyuwangi. Mbak Syifa, Amak (her son), me, Frente, Sit, Ima and Zana took the 8 hours journey by road. We preferred to sleep along the way, her driver is crazier than F1 racer. We arrived her house and settled down our asses (dah duduk lama sangat dalam kereta kot), and get ready for our Safari adventure the next day!

Now, let the pictures tell the story…

Journey begins

The road to the desert

This is it! Can you believe it!

Yay, we've made it girls!!

Merah putih teruslah kau berkibar

Read my shirt

Bekol. Subhanallah

The road to the beach

kita panjat pokok!

Banyuwangi

If we could swim to the other side, we are already in Bali

Our dinner

Thanks to Tante (mbak Syifa’s mom) for the hospitality, your capulaga coffee is the best!! To mas Agus who accompany us and to Mbak Syifa for making this all memorable.

Italian Luncheon

2011-05-05T16:27:00.001+08:00

The canteen foods are getting up on my throat already! The fact that I had too much of kacang bolong and other junk foods is now making me irritable than ever. Forensic department, despite of the stress-less, the smells just inevitable! The stress-less of forensic is starting to stress me out already, I need to do something! Where is the patient? Hah, drama queen, over, nak patient plak!

Alhamdulillah, I got my case today. I’ve been praying hard that I should get a ‘patient’, at least by the end of today. As soon as I stepped feet into the meeting room this morning, they called me out..

“Bil, ada visum!”

“Really?? Beneran?! Yayy!” excitedly walked down into the autopsy room.

Aww… such a heartbreaking, it was a body of a 5 year old little girl. At least it is not a baby. Oh by the way, we’ve had two cases of pembuangan bayi. Damn to those who did it! I wish I could post the photos during the autopsy or at least talk about it here in my blog…

It was such a relief to get my visum case before the day ended, or I’ll be on-call. To celebrate my ‘success’ or more to ‘lucky day’, I went to have lunch at Malibu with Frente, and we had Italian!!! I love Italian foods! Yummy!!

Penne marinara - mine

Speghetti olio aglio - hers

Actually both of us secretly craving for the olio aglio, after Zhaf’s birthday dinner last week. hehe

p/s: best kan, lepas dah busuk2 bedah mayat buat autopsy, pastu makan!!!!

Happy Birthday Sayang!

2011-05-01T23:11:00.000+08:00

Rindu dah!!!

I just came back from Juanda, doing the thing I hate the most – saying goodbye to Zuffy.

One thing I hate about getting visits from family, friends and boyfriend, is the part where they have to go back and leave me alone. Sedih tau! To suppress that feeling, I had to think back of all the sweet times together. Now that I’m recalling it… *tears start falling*

With my birthday boy!

Sit and Christina missing in this picture

Zuffy came over the weekend, for our ritual birthday celebration together. He arrived Malang on Friday with my favourite instant Teh Tarik Aik Cheong and an iPad 2 for miss bestie Frente. I don’t just drink instant teh tarik, but it has to be Aik Cheong! Or else, the mamak has to tarik it for me!! There are just a lot of other instant teh tarik brand out there, first of all, Max Tea sucks, then BOH brand, the tea tastes so BOHy tea, not like teh cap masjid (like the mamak usually use), then there’s Cek Hup’s, I rate it 7 out of 10, not bad. Aik Cheong cost a fortune here in Lai Lai market, about double the price than what you can get back in Malaysia. But who cares right, who wants to drink Max tea anyway? Yucks! (oh btw, AirAsia Indonesia serves Max tea if you order teh tarik, yucks again!)

Kawan-kawanku yang sangat comel

Back to Zuffy story in Malang. As usual, we went for a spa retreat! Not really spa, but just hairspa and foot reflexology. I am so thankful for the fact that we share the same interest, we love to go to saloon and spa! I’m saying this because Zuffy is not really a good companion for shopping. He shops like a typical man, see-like-fit-buy, unlike me see-look around-look around again-fit-think-compare-look around again-really like it-can’t live without it-buy, buy, buy and end up buying all.

celebrating birthday together *love*

Then it was Zuffy’s birthday! The second time for him to celebrate in Malang. The generous birthday boy treated me and my friends a birthday dinner. And since we love Italian, we had Italian dinner!!

Happy birthday sayang!

We got this cake from Mbak Icha's cafe, The Sisters.

Surprise surprise! The birthday boy didn’t know about the cake. When he was about to order for dessert, the waiter came out with the cake all lit up. The look on his face – priceless.

Mr. Bf, Mr.Raja and Miss Nad

The sweet couple - Amel and West <3

After the dinner, we proceed for coffee, at where-else if not at my favourite place Java Dancer! What a surprise for me too, there were Amel and her boyfriend, and Kak Nad too were there waiting to celebrate Zuffy with us! Rajavel was also there having his time alone, then he was forced to join us too! LOL! Happy happy moment!! Happyyyy!! Thank you bestie for planning it perfectly! Then there was Mbak Syifa too, oh so complete party!

Late night coffee

semua dah ngantuk...

my babes

It was a pleasant to be surrounded by all these people around. My life is so blessed!

Thank you sayang for coming, you’re the straw to my berry. You’re the sweetest of all!

My bestie

Thank you Frente for arranging the surprise, making the reservation and getting the cake and getting the people to it. You’re my bestie!

Thank you to my housemates for celebrating it with us, to Amel and West, and to Mbak Syifa for completing the party!

Most of all, Alhamdulillah Thank you Allah! Everything you have arranged for us is so wonderful for me.

72nd weekdays - Lamongan

2011-04-13T21:53:00.001+08:00

7 weeks left in Malang? Oh… *sayunya hati ini*

I am never less excited about graduating, but to leave Malang in that short of time (after almost 6 years) is just heartbreaking. Okay, enough of drama.

On the high road to Lamongan

Last weekends, after the long hectic month, Frente and I decided to take a short break and run to the beach. We had been talking a lot about having to breathe out of the hospital for awhile, we had been wanting to see the endless horizon line by the beach, we wanted to feel the sea breeze and hear the waves drumming on the sandy beach, for short, we desperately needed a break!

After the sunset, view from the hotel balcony

Lamongan, is a perfect location for the moment. Not so far, easy to access, and there’s a theme park there! We’ve been asking around about how to get there and Frente looked up in the internet for accommodation. Right after work, without wasting a single second, we headed straight there. We gotta reach there before the sunset! We just had to lie somewhere to watch the sun dipping itself into the sea. Fortunately, we made it right on time, it looked so mesmerizing from our balcony! Subhanallah, it was beautiful! Perfect, checked!

Good morning Lamongan

Having breakfast by the beach

The morning we woke up to the sound of the wave battering put an endless serenity into the nippy morning breeze, that was exactly what we had been wanting to hear – perfect, checked! Initially, we wanted to jog (but…). Then we got ready for the day at the WBL (Wisata Bahari Lamongan) where we were entitled for two free ticketscompliment of our stay at the resort. WBL was fun!

Wisata Bahari Lamongan

The water park

I went on that!!

We made it!

The small fishermen village

Then there was another recreational place just opposite the WBL, Zoo Goa Maharani. It’s a zoo with all the animals and stuff, and there’s also a natural cave where they had turned it to a very convenient cave for tourist to travel into, and also a gallery of collections of beautiful and unique gem stones.

Maharani Zoo & Goa

At the Zoo

Inside the Maharani goa

Found my mate, memang dah plan nak pakai color sama.

In the end of the day, I realized that this getaway happened not just for the sake of stress-escape, it happened for me, Frente and for the sake of our friendship. Thank you babe!

Another sunset to catch!

You're my sweet donkey

The next day we woke up, albeit of the tranquility of the wave sound, birds chirping and the chilly morning breeze, we hate that it was Sunday. Kena balik, besok sekolah! Bye Lamongan. We had fun, definitely.

The next day, on the way back to Malang, guess what we found?!

Marching March

2011-03-26T00:25:00.002+08:00

First, I’d like to wish Papa a very belated Happy Birthday PAPA!!!

May Allah bless you always,

strengthen your iman,

give you more happiness,

a perfect health,

and keep you wealthy as always.

I love you so much and thank you for everything you have done for me. And Congratulations, you’re still holding the World’s Best Papa for 25 years in a row! WOW!

** Sebenarnya dah wish dah, papa’s birthday on the 5^th, but I’d just like to jot it here down in my blog. Haritu terlampau stress untuk blogging sebab memikirkan tentang Urology… sampai deman2 :(

Icha & Heri, 12th March 2011

The Siagian's crowd

Exactly the day after repeating my urology surgery department, there was Mbak Icha’s wedding. I was there to help her with the guest registration. The reception was so beautiful that you got to see it to believe it.

Sorry tak sempat bergambar dengan pengantin.

Bukan anak kami

The following week, I came back home to Malaysia for Zuffy’s sister’s wedding. It was sure a pressure for him answering the ‘question’ from his relatives for sure! Hahaha kesian you… it was a great weekend spent with Zuffy, and then with my whole family. Everyone was at home. I got to meet my little mr.Sunshine Aaron Adam!

Si comel ni memang sangat active!

Perfect eight!

BACK TO DOOM!

2011-03-11T22:09:00.001+08:00

It was my Urology Surgery repeating week! I had quite a bad fever the week before, and my period was delayed.

Attention! Urology Surgery is the scariest department in the whole of RSSA! Autopsy lab in forensic pon kalah. Bukan scary sebab hantu ke iblis, tapi supervisors dan segala2nya, termasuklah secretarynya juga menakutkan (boooo mbak Siwi booo!!)

As soon as I was done with the final assessment, Frente brought me a little piece of chocolate from Jakarta, it was the most expensive chocolate I’ve ever had. Yummyyh~

Talking about my Urology final assessment, I got a case of a 40 year old man with urethral strictures. As usual, the physical examination was a bit troublesome. Apparently, I had to feel the penis of my patient with three of my first fingers of both hands, in order to find the strictures along the urethral. It need no effort to make the penis go erect, it was as easy as filling in catheter tube. The problem was, when I was feeling (or more like pressing in a massage motion) my patient’s object, he was laughing all the way.

“Pak, tolong diam sebentar ya”

I said as I was profusely sweating with Dr.Penta on my side.

“Yo opo mas guyu2 thok! Diem no opo…”

Kan dan kena marah dengan isteri! Padan muka!

So, that was it, Alhamdulillah, I could feel few areas of strictures which turn out to be exactly the places shown in the urethography.

Now that I’ve passed my urology surgery. Praise to the Almighty Allah.

Girlfriends' visit Part II - Safari and Zoo

2011-02-20T07:46:00.051+08:00

Good morning Sunday!

I’m getting ready to bring the girls out for another crude day of shopping in Malang. We’re planning to go to the Pasar Wisata Malang or locally known as Pasar Minggu, which only held in Sunday morning. Then, I’m planning to bring them to Pasar Besar in Alun-alun, since Farah and Yang are looking for fabrics.

The girls got really excited about spending their last day here for shopping, and we planned to be there by 6 a.m (apart of making a date with Reggy at 6 a.m sharp in front of the library).

It’s already 6 a.m, none of the girls are not awake yet. Lol! Hangat2 taik ayam je. Oh now, Khairun just asked me to sms Reggy and told him that we are running a little bit late. I guess, we’re way ahead of being late since none of us bathe yet. We are all drained out of yesterday’s exhaustion.

Yesterday was a full day of fun that ended up me getting damn exhausted. I started very early in the morning since I couldn’t get back to sleep after Subuh. Then I brought Farah to Pasar Klojen (when Khairun and Yang were still tuck in their blankets) which is stated few meters away behind my house. We got some breakfast. They love the bubur ayam! Farah got 4 bottles of kecap manis too as she already had that stated in her shopping list. Yeah, I must admit that the soy sauce here tastes a little bit better than those we can get in Malaysia. It’s thicker and more tasty, but I’m not a really big fan of kicap though.

Our driver came 1 hour late than scheduled that started to get me slightly irritable.

“Kok telat mas?”

“Maaf mbak, mampir cuci mobil sebentar tadi” dengan muka senyum2 kambing.

*eye rolling* penting banget sih ya nyuci mobil pas kita lagi buru-buru mau ke Safari?

It took one hour drive down the Taman Safari Indonesia II.

We stopped by some stalls to get 'buah tangan' for the 'kids'

Map - checked, video - checked, cameras - checked!

Feeding time baby~

When the Zebras got a little bit naughty, the girls got the shocked of their life!

Muka-muka sedih mintak makan.. aloloo

Pak Arab got high after being kissed

Khairun, Farah and Yang

Geli, tapi nak pegang jugak..

The camel ride

Get close and personal

It was my third time though, still excited nevertheless! The animals got friendlier, that I could actually have the guts to touch them. Khairun even kissed some. Let the pictures speak…

Back from the Safari, we straight for luncheon at Rumah Makan Kertanegara. I’ve always known this place for their awesome Tom Yam and keuw tiow capjay. But yesterday, besides the scrumptious tomyam, we also had bebek penyet, udang bakar and stir-fry broccoli.

Frente and Farah

Kata pegi zoo, tapi tak banyak ambik gambar binatang, tapi ni pon okay kan?

Helppppp! *even the king kong looks disgusted*

Right after lunch, Frente came and pick us up from my house and brought us to Batu. Since it was already quite late in the evening, we couldn’t get to the famous ~~Argowisata Apple Farm~~. So we went to Batu Secret Zoo instead! Yes, it was indeed my third time to the zoo within the past 2 months.

Exhausted faces, could hardly wait for our foooooods

Half of the menu for dinner

Bersantai lepas melahap

We then had dinner at Pondok Desa. The stunning concept restaurant by the hill side, where there are lanterns at night and the village ambiance surrounding the dining halls. There are also fishing ponds nearby that we can fish and have them freshly cooked right there. Since the first time Frente brought me here last year, we’ve been planning to go fishing, but to no avail. Okay, someday we will. I’m planning to go here with Zhaf too on his next visit.

Thanks to Khairun, Yang and Farah for the nice treat!

Then, we got back home. Belum sampai rumah, I dah tertidur dalam kereta. But the girls had quite a conversation with Frente.

Alright, the girls are all geared up for pasar. I’ve got to get ready now!

So sad that they are going back this evening *crying out loud!*

Girlfriends' Visit Part I - Coffee for the pillow talk

2011-02-19T08:45:00.016+08:00

Kiss the sunshine!

My girlfriends are here! Oh lupa, I supposed to sms my parents updating them since they’ve been asking if my friends have arrived.

For the first time after almost 10 years, the sleepover is invigorated! Here we are, sleeping in the same room again. It was good to have had the pillow talk after a long hiatus from the warmth of girlish kinda school days. Though it wasn’t the same as how we used to have during school days, since everyone was so damn exhausted that we fell asleep not long after the talk, but I’m glad that we still managed to keep the warmth and comfort in between us.

Khairun, Yang and Farah arrived Malang yesterday evening before Maghrib. They ran late from Surabaya due to heavy shopping. After Maghrib, I brought them to Rumah Makan Inggil, the museum concept restaurant. Their first stop of Malang cultural visit indeed.

Macam familiar je pose ni kan? Actually Pak Akbar (the well-known waiter) yang suruh pose macam ni, ever since! I have the exact same picture with my housemates

Hello hello

We got the 'Topi Perjuangan Indonesia' at the souvenir shop outside the restaurant, pastu terus berangan and ambik gambar.

Part of our dishes.. see got lele!

How to threesome on a scooter?

We wanted to go for karaoke later after dinner, but I thought of just hanging out for a coffee so we could have some talk instead of singing our heart out the whole night. We can do karaoke back at home right? So, off we walked to my favourite coffee place, Java Dancer.

We walked our way home that chilly night, hand-in-hand and even hugging. Aww, I miss having friends who do hugs. Nowadays, it might be a little odd to do that with our new friends that we met at a mature age. I’m grateful these girlfriends I have still bring out the childhood in us no matter how old we have all grown…

First emergency on-call

2011-02-18T09:30:00.021+08:00

So, there was it. My first Emergency on-call, perhaps my first time feeling so excited about going on-calls.

Lol! Ape dah jadi dengan I ni? Rajin tibe2…

Particularly because I've heard a lot of good feedbacks from the seniors and friends who had been in this department before me. 100% of good feedbacks on their experiences in the UGD (Unit Gawat Darurat @ A&E), with the administration and most of all good communications with the residents (well, how many times have you heard me complaining about other residents in other departments I've been to being unfriendly, bossy and annoyingly panicky? A lot!).

Koas jaga di UGD - Ceria selalu! :P

Ever since the first day, we were warmly welcomed, the secretary clearly explained to us every single detail of our job scopes and tasks. The supervisors came to welcomed and gave us some briefing too, and we had our first tutor and practice on how to intubate! I felt overwhelm!

Dekat UGD kiteorg mmg kerusi/bench very limited...

Jadi kalo pas lagi capek semua, berjongkok aja disamping pasien...

Tonight's 16-hour on-call was fairly good. Though there were not many 'interesting' cases to gained experience on, but every now and then, we were briefed on some common cases to master on. Although emergency is known to be the most hectic department ever, but I find tranquility and total calmness in almost all the doctors – they are independent and have professional work etiquette.

Okay, gotta get some sleep now. So excited that Khairun, Yang and Farah are arriving this evening! *happppy*

New hands of wonder

2011-02-16T22:41:00.002+08:00

My sickness comes usually without particular illness that I could diagnose myself. Generally fatigue, muscles aching, or more specific; tension headache, rhinitis allergica most of the time, and once in a blue moon; asthma.

This evening, my evening nap was awaken by a strong feeling of sudden nausea and terrible headache. Hey, apehal ni?! Symptoms macam ~~morning sickness~~, but it's evening and I am not ~~pregnant~~ for God's sake!

Ahh, this is familiar (actually), bak kata orang 'masuk angin'. I was trying to get my symptoms into more relevant explanation on how the 'angin' could invade my body and how do I get rid of it technically. But I was too sick to even get out of bed and get my brain working! I was too sick that I almost vomit in bed. With all my might, I grabbed my phone and call my masseuse.

Wait, she wasn't even my masseuse in the first place, I didn't know her either. She was recommended by a resident who is working at the same place with me. Been wanting to call her ever since, but I was too busy to treat my body.

So now, to replace Ibu Leny, I now have Mbak Mey. My search for another magical hand that could warm with my skin is finally over. She’s the most educated masseuse I’ve ever know, a daughter of an orthopedic alright. The 3-hour of massage was soothing. If only I could sleep during the massage, it would be a blast! (but she was too busy talking to me, and I kinda enjoy the conversation though).

Ibu Leny is coming back for a short holiday in March! Can’t wait, so excited! Wajib panggil dia untuk urut!

Happy Birthday Frente!

2011-02-13T00:24:00.003+08:00

To the woman who brings sunshine to my day and paint rainbow after the rain,

The person who got lost (with reason) in finding her way into my mother’s crib, or else we would have been sisters.

The person whom I found a mirror that reflects every good and every bad of me,

The person who helped me discover my maturity in disguised,

The person whom I need no reason to enjoy life with,

The one whose laugh is a magic spell which can turn every melancholy into oh-holy!

To whom I will put the blame on of I accidentally splinted my temporomandibula joint,

The person who make my 5 ½ years worth spending just by lavishing in the final 2 years,

To whom I can call a friend and would love to keep it for forever,

The candles don't resemble the age

Thank you for the treat!

No, we never have decent photos together.

Happy Birthday Frente!!!

I wish you all the happiness in the world,

More of lucks to knock on your door,

And friends forever!

xoxo~

Lover Boys

2011-02-09T17:57:00.031+08:00

Ok Sambung cerita,

Semalam lupa nak cerita pasal ice-cream yang paling susah nak cari dekat Indonesia (ingat entry ni The Cost to Breathe?).

Nah, berlambak! hambikkkk kau!

During shopping for Adam’s stuff (because we chiefly make ‘shopping for Adam’s stuff’ as our reason for Sisters’ Day Out, not to make any of us feel guilty for leaving the cute drooling baby boy at home) at Toys R’ Us, I accidentally stumble upon Wall’s ice box which is fully filled with that-so-called-ice-cream! What an odd prompt?!!

Pernah ke korang pergi Toys R’ Us (dipendekkan jadi ‘TRU’ – penat nak type panjang2) and ‘ter’tengok ice-cream box?

Siapa pergi TRU untuk beli ice-cream?

Kita selalu beli ice-cream dkt 7-11 or kedai2 runcit je kan? Pegi TRU untuk beli toys lah kan, atau party stuffs, atau imported candies.

Apa kejadahnya orang tua ni beli ice-cream dkt TRU?

Orang yang dah ‘dewasa’ patutnya tau kenapa ada ice-cream dkt TRU tu… ini semua muslihat! Muslihat management TRU supaya bila budak2 nampak ice-cream, mesti diaorg melalak2 nak beli sampailah terguling-guling atas lantai dan terpaksalah parents dorg beli jugak untuk menjaga air muka.

Bertuah punya budak! Perangai tak senonoh! Kira baik jugak lah parents korang bawak pegi beli toys dkt TRU, ni nak beli ice-cream plak!

Wait! dah lost track of story plak. So, the conclusion is, saya beli ice-cream tu! Dan belanja adik-adik saya juga! *terima kasih, saya memang seorang kakak yang baik*

2 from left, mereka memang adik saya, yang paling kanan pula adalah mak budak!

Then what’s for Adam?

He got a looottttt of bibs! Hmm… bib banyak buat apa kalau Adam tak kuat makan? Hah?! Hopefully with his new cutlery set, new bowl, and lotsa cute bibs, Adam will have new appetite to chomp on more healthy foods! Nom nom nom nommmmm!

Adam is turning to one year old in few months, and Zhaf thinks he should learn how to drive – though he can’t even walk yet! And Adam (ibu’s) was hinting for a car. Ok lah, kita pun kan jarang belikan Adam apa-apa, so Zhaf agreed to get him a car. All over the mall (from Midvalley to The Gardens – bunyi mcm jauh je, tapi padahal dkt Gardens tak jumpe satu pun!) we went to look for a suitable ride for him. Most cars seem too big for my cute little nephew, and we were about to just get the big one (cause he will soon grow to fit on it right?), when suddenly… *jeng jeng jeng* eh, cute! Ada pun kereta yang kecik sikit (dengan harga pun lebih kecik jugak). Rezeki Adam dapat kereta hari tu! *tepuk tangan!*

Nanti Adam dah work, belikan Aunty Bil bende ni k?? okay? pinky promise!

Sempatlah kita dating sekejap...

Tiba-tiba…

Adam datang!!! Eh, apa ni budak kecik kacau orang tengah dating! Tak surprise lah camni! Bukan setakat Adam je, ibu dan abah Adam juga ada. Mestilah kan, tak mungkin Adam boleh datang sendiri kalau bukan ibu dan abah dia yang bawak. Bukan setakat Adam, ibu atau abah, malah Maklong dan Poklong Adam juga datang! Errrr…

Sisters <3

Dkt Krispy Kreme MV ada waiter2 handsome lah! Sporting plak tu bila kita nak ambik gambar dorg...!

Lover Boys

Ok fine! Dating terganggu, tapi fine! One big family meet up in Mid Valley. Hence, we had dinner together *smile*

Supposedly, I was still full of Papa’s So Famous and Scrumptious Hainanese Chicken Rice, mana tak kenyang, I lost count of how many times I tambah! I swear no nasi ayam chef can beat papa’s! Sedap yang melampau, macam papa letak ~~ganja~~ kot… I pernah mengidam sampai termimpi2 and terbau2 *sedeyhnyaa* (read : Nasi Ayam)

But since everyone was already waiting at Tony Romas for dinner, then why not? Besides, I really wanted to try how the Wagyu beef tastes like. Kata orang, daging paling sedap di dunia, kebetulan pulak Pak Tony baru pandai masak Wagyu, and ada buat promotion hebat of set of Wagyu ribeye at less than RM100 (which is 10 sen less than RM100 actually). But it’s okay, worth the try. Next time nak makan Wagyu lagi kena fikir 2-3 kali. Terima kasih kepada kekasih hati yang belanja makan.

Mula-mula macam kenyang, tapi tengok dia yang makan macam Man Vs. Food

My wish to eat the best ribeye in the whole wide world *please ignore the crazy woman at the back*

Tony Roma's Wagyu Ribeye

Pernah tak pergi TR tapi tak order benda sedap ni? TAK

Human great invention over God's creation

Romas Rack for the men

Abang Dd bukan tunjuk peace, and Along pon bukan tunjuk Hi-five..

While we were scoffing on our foods, this little fella dozed off.

In Mid Valley, we met Umi! Umi dropped by the entrance just to passed me my birthday present which came all the way from UK, from my beloved cousin, Soraya. Thank you Aya!! I love you Aya! The handbag looks stunning and I’m still finding a perfect occasion for it.

After dinner, we went to Angah’s house. Adam got a car!! Vroom vroom! He is yet to take driving course to legalize for driver’s license which only permitted for road tax to drive around his house. Albeit, he has to learn how to stand still on his own, and walk on both his feet first. You can do it boy!

Uncle Zhaf please hurry, Adam dah tak sabar nak drive ni...

On your mark, get set... Vroooom!

Thank you Uncle Zhaf! Sambil belajar driving, Adam belajar shapes and colors jugak!

Why you so comel? so geramable? I am so gonna kiss you and eat you and chew you! *cara buat Adam mengamuk*

Besides the car, my sweet boyfriend has actually gotten him another toy which he has kept for quite a few months while waiting for the time to meet Adam. But since he was too busy with his study, and he and Angah couldn’t find a time to meet, the gift got ‘pickled’ til I went home last week. At least they both have to make time for me right?!

It was quite late at night by then… alarm pun berbunyi…

*ringtone*

“Ude dekat mana? Cepatla balik!”

Si Cinderell-Ude ni pun balik lah rumah, sebab ibu bapa dan adik-adik merindukan Si Cinderell-Ude.
Malam itu, kami bermanja-manja di rumah sehingga keesokan harinya sebelum Si Ude terpaksa berangkat meninggalkan keluarga dan kampong halaman untuk meneruskan perjuangan yang belum selesai selesai ni…

Takper, jap lagi selesai lah~ *pray hard!*

Lover Man of all time!

While I was waiting for my flight, Angah WhatApp me and sent me this. Adam wave and say "bye bye Aunty Bil"

Pastu sedih, rasa macam nak patah balik rumah. Tapi papa mesti dah takde dkt luar... So, terpaksalah tunggu Pakcik Pilot datang. Next destination - Surabaya!

Bubbye Adam!

Happpppppy to be home, even just for awhile

2011-02-08T23:50:00.032+08:00

Too happy to blog!

Do you remember when was the last time I could smell this place where I call home? Dah lamaaaa ok!

Imma too excited that I’ve lost the sense of blogging. Or probably, I had no time to think of anything but just to enjoy the few days of short break in Malaysia with loved ones.

First of all,

Of course with mama and papa. Everyday is a homecooked meal! Aah, food for comfort...~ *heart heart*

Then,

My lover boy! Sekarang dah jadi lover boys, sebab Adam comel pun included.

On that Thursday night via arrival, I sampai airport dengan muka gelabah gile sebab taktau siapa ambik, sebab tak sempat inform papa that my flight was brought forward. Tapi bila sampai je arrival gate…

*jeng jeng jeng*

Muka gelabah berubah menjadi berseri-seri ditambah dengan sound effect jantung berdegup laju sebab nampak Si Kekasih Hati dengan penuh kekacakan dan senyuman yang paling mencairkan,berjalan menuju ke si kekasih hatinya *drooooling*

Eh, si kacak berjalan menuju saya rupanya! Eh eh, boyfriend I rupanya, patutlah I got all the sympathetic effect suddenly. Nasib baik boyfriend sendiri, kalau tercair atau ter’drooling’ dkt boyfriend orang lain, habis lah I kena belasah dengan girlfriends diaorg~

First bit of happiness – to see him!

He sent me home directly from the airport. Tak sempat kita nak pergi dating sebab…

“Cepat2 balik rumah, jangan pergi mana2!” ujar ibu ku melalui telefon.

Sebagai anak yang solehah dan tidak menderhakai ibu, saya pun terus pulang ke rumah tanpa melencong ke mana-mana. Cuma kalau tidak diingatkan, pasti kami sudah singgah ke mana-mana untuk makan sambil meluangkan sedikit masa bersama. Huhuuu…

Bila I sampai2 je rumah, Muhammad Aaron Adam dah tunggu rupanya! Jadi, nama I pun terus berubah menjadi ‘Aunty Bil’. Alololooo cutenya nephew I ni, rindu and nak spent time dengan Aunt Bil sampai kena overnight dekat rumah Tok Boss dengan ibu and Pitpit and friends.

Good morning Aunty Bil! Cepat lah bangun... nak main2 dengan Aunty Bil!

Every night Adam sleep dengan Aunty Bil. Every very early in the morning mesti Adam dah bangun, membebel sorang2 and panjat atas I sampai I terjaga and tak boleh tidur balik. Kalaulah budak tu bukan Adam, mesti dah lama kena power taebo dengan I and tercampak sampai ke rumah sebelah. Nasib baik Adam, so Aunty Bil pon bangun tidur dengan kesyukuran dan muka bantal yang berseri-seri, and kiss kisssssss sampai Adam rimas and cry!

That morning, mama was already got herself frantic in the kitchen. Ahh, so mama *breathe in… and smile*. Mama was making lontong and lodeh for lunch, which I was inquired to make the serunding kelapa.

Who on Earth invented this so complicated junk???

Penatttt tau! Agak2nya orang yang bukak restaurant and masak serunding everyday, mesti biceps dia dah besar and deltoid muscle dia dah kencang habis, fuiyOoo! Terus I jadi semangat mengacau serunding sebab dalam hati ada niat supaya hasil mengacau serunding, dapatlah I mengencangkan otot tangan yang dah menggelebeh ni.

During lunch, wawa took the serunding and said

“Whoaaa! This is my favourite!!”

Tapi dia tak fikir, kepala humerus siapa yang nak tercabut menggoreng bende tu! ciSs, makan je tau!

After lunch was “Sisters' day out!”

In Pyramid, nak pergi cari papa's favourite chicken, tapi kedai dia tutup... :( sorry papa!

Guess the asses!

Initially, Angah wanted to shop for Adam’s stuff, and I wanted to get her nipple shield since Adam’s starting to grow his teeth and always give us the fright of our lives when he bit on the nipple during nursing and Angah will scream out loud. Yes, there is such thing as ‘nipple shield’ baby!!

Wee!! Mengidam ku menjadi kenyataan. Of all the foods, kenapa I mengidam Tako Tao?

Besides, I realllllly drooled for some Tako Tao where only available in Jusco outlet. Most of the shops in Sunway Pyramid was still closing down to the second day of CNY, and our pockets were not that filled to, therefore we only opt for window shopping and snacking.

From Sunway Pyramid, we drove all the way down to The Empire Mall. Wow! Subang Jaya now has a new mall besides Subang Parade. I fancied the twirl slide that goes down over 4 floors, but it was closed too. And I wanted the cute macaroons and red velvet at Whisk too, but the customer before us grabbed them all. Kurang ajar! I hate you perempuan gelojoh!

Bubbye Adam, kite pergi jalan2 dulu, Adam stay home with Nen ok? Jangan notty2~

*while this scene was happening, Adam was left home with Nen, which then Along came by and brought them all to KL to mama’s office to pick up boxes of mandarins* Gong xi! Gong xi!!

*while this scene was happening, Si Kekasih Hati was at his house doing his take-home exam. Then was his second last week of studying and was ‘inflicted’ with major examinations

Quarter of a century

2011-02-01T01:27:00.009+08:00

(updated on 15th Feb 2011)

I'm growing a quarter century by now. Thinking of it, makes me feel aged.

Although age is just a number, little did I realized that this life has taken its toll on my ‘stage of life’, so much! This life I've been living for the past 6 years have aged me so much! By mean, I’m growing more matured, hence starting to justify something somewhat a level higher than my previous rationale.

I am twenty-five, already!

*gosok2 mata*

This is it, the age of where I long aimed for – I pinned this year a turning point for what I have long dreamt of is to be turned into reality.

InsyaAllah, anywhere in between these 365 days I’ll ~~change my name~~ add in some extra letters before my name. Tolong yer, bukan menukar nama, tapi menambah sedikit huruf ke dalam nama asal, tapi bukan ‘~~Mrs.~~’. Bukan itu, belum.

This is my second birthday to celebrate away from home, first birthday to celebrate away from Zhaf, and possibly the last birthday I’m celebrating while still holding a student-visa. In spite of that, I feel so much blessed, revived and more enthusiastic than ever!

L-R : Frente, Kim, me, Sit, Christina, Zana, Ima

First advanced birthday celebration together with January-born girlfriends/housemates. Supposedly, we had a picnic at the Alun-alun, but it was raining, so we rerouted to Frente’s backyard (since we don’t have garden in our house). The party was in modesty and full of happiness. Thanks to Zana and Ima who prepared the nasi lemak and the others who had fully geared for an outdoor picnic. It was awesome! Happy Birthday girls!

Our Mocha cake that makes us caffeinated

The Januarians!

Then, birthday dinner on the 31^st January with best friend Frente and her friend, Robert. It was a blast, thank you for making me feel so young!

My opera cake from Frente

We never have posed on camera like normal people do

During my very short-weekend-break, I flew back home not to missed my belated-most-anticipated birthday celebration with my man, arranged by our best friend Yan and family. Though it was an impromptu, but it was simply sweet and meaningful. I feel so blessed, so loved and so lucky! Thank you everyone!

One tips for couples who are on a long-distance relationship : Always celebrate your birthday together, be it on advanced, belated, over the phone, or arrange a little celebration for him/her with his/her friends/family even without you around.

This is Secret Recipe's Chocolate Indulgence. Thanks Yan and Nurul!

Last but not least, Happy Birthday Bil!

25 – bring it on, life!

*ada 3 birthday cakes this year... selamat bekerja keras untuk menguruskan badan!

Public Health comes to an end Part II

2011-01-25T18:46:00.031+08:00

Before I started the Public Health (PH) Department, there wasn't a bit of excitement about it apart of getting to escape from the hospital for two months. In fact, few things came into my concern that scares me a little, such as

"Are they serious about letting me go to the people? Already? This early?"

"Am I really competent in doing all these doctors thingy?"

"What if I misdiagnosed?"

“What if the patient and I got into a miscommunication?”

"What if I prescribe wrong medicines? Wrong dosage?"

"What if I go blanked and don't know what to do?"

"What if I did something wrong and my patient died?"

"Can I survive the six weeks in the primary health center, with minimal facilities, with no experienced doctors to supervise me around during on-call?"

"Can I survive being 2-3 days away from home and into the rural?"

"How exhausted it'll be to travel 32km back and forth by angkut everyday?"

"How much money will I spend for the transportations and the community services?"

The ~~'what ifs'~~ are so killing me. I kept praying that everything will go smoothly and easy for me. I prayed real hard!

The upgraded Puskesmas Lawang, which now is RSUD Lawang

Then I remembered The Secret that Linnet borrowed me. I've heard great stories about it. Being a non-fiction reader, I love motivation books. Half way through reading it, confidence slowly creeping through my nerve. I was never this ready for something but PH. Notwithstanding the knowledge, I am more mentally motivated and ready!

The beautiful scenery I see every morning in Lawang

This is where we were 'warded' for 6 weeks

The first two weeks of PH were fully spent by having lectures at the campus. We were made to understand deeper about the importance of primary health care, about preventions and community services. I like this part of PH, but least on the epidemiology, statistics, data analysis and anything that has to do with calculations.

During the visit to Posyandu (Pos Pelayanan Terpadu)

At Pasar Besar Lawang, buying supposed-to-be cheap fresh fruits!

On the third week, we started our service in the Community Health Center or what known as puskesmas (a.k.a Pusat Kesehatan Masyarakat). We were divided into groups of 5, to 7 different puskesmas around Malang. I am very thankful to be teamed up with 4 others whom I am most comfortable with and whom I believe can make the best teamwork with.

We went to the puskesmas 2 days earlier before we started to report ourselves to the head of puskesmas Dr. Lidya. Though she looked kind of fierce physically, but as the ice breaks, she is affluent and very welcoming. As Dr.Anton the surgeon was around, them both gave us briefing on our duty, words of motivation and a very warm welcome. One of Dr.Anton's line that encourage me the most would have been,

“It is time to brush up your skills, practice your competencies, and gain more knowledge.”

The Kepala Puskesmas Lawang, dr.Lidya

Besides, I learn more on socializing, among the people of whom I never thought I’ll encounter with, the very poor, the poverty, the poor people who I mainly think is fabricated from the very cruel authority of their abominable government. They indirectly burn the fuel to my spur to become more dedicated in doing this thing I am raptly directed to, to become a doctor not only by the knowledge of a mountain high but by the pious in the heart. The lesson none of the supervisors can give examples on.

My group mates with the nursing interns

With part of the big family of RSUD Lawang and our supervisor

I also learn on team working of multidisciplinary which I once scorned at due to a bad communication with the super bossy nurses at the hospital. Most nurses (especially the old-dark red lipsticks-seniors) in this hospital where I work at are abhorrent to me, yeah, super bossy and lack of respects to the interns, residents and even to the patients. In puskesmas, the nurses are angelic *letak halo atas kepala diaorg dengan sepasang sayap putih berbulu pelepah*. They make us priority in making decision, they kindly corrected our mistakes and consult us on cases under our competencies.

What more, the GPs, the dentists, the pharmacies, the midwives, the administrators, the ambulance drivers, the janitors, the nursing students and even the ibu bakso are chummy together and they are like one big family! I really love to work in this environment where everyone greets everyone else with the most sincere smile. They put the sunshine up for me every morning.

As it is called Public Health, we are more bounded to the public composition to give health education in order to prevent diseases rather than staying in the puskesmas and give treatment to diseases. We are assigned to many different public health missions throughout. Visiting the people is one of my favourites.

On one of our school visit, we examined on 142 students! Phew~

During one of our UKS (Upaya Kesehatan Sekolah) program

But... we were always served with all sorts of snacks

Even indomie goreng!! Yummmy!

There are so much more experiences I would like to keep down into words, but I guess no matter how long I write, is never as much as I have to keep in this best memory box of mine.

Iota #26 - Reminders

2011-01-23T23:08:00.000+08:00

Two important happy dates are just around the corner. Imma exzaiiiiteed!

And I keep getting pings of reminder about em. Aww, always make me smile everytime I got those unexpected cues at the least expected times.

First,

Then

And… I'm coming back home for the weekends!

*senyum lebar2* Lets partyhhh babyhh~

First attempt to cook chicken curry

2011-01-23T00:45:00.002+08:00

This is going to be one effin proud entry.

Tuan-tuan dan puan-puan, I am proud to present you… First ever, Bil's homemade chicken curry!

Curry is never my favourite dish, yet it is still tolerable. Besides, I am not a big fan of rice nor chicken either as I will always opt for noodles and fish. More over, I don't fancy spicy food, I rather choose light soupy ones. Then, why did I cook curry then?

First and foremost, it's Saturday. Non-working Saturday, no oncall nor exam either. Consequently, the possibility of stress is high as for Tuan Besar laptop is in comatose still (can only be used for listening to radio and itunes). Hence, I needed something to do that will keep me occupied – cooking it is!

(sejak bila hobi masa lapang adalah memasak? Oh no! pre-quarter decade blues)

Still, not answering the question… why curry?

Perhaps, it's easy! Oh really? Nah, I didn't quite sure though since I've never tried. But my instinct said so! My housemates cook curry like gazillion times, seems like they can even cook curry with both eyes shut. Feasibly, curry is suitable for an amature masterchef like me *smile*

Second reason is probably because there are redundant of curry powders at home!!! Seriously! Damn these girls, they love to buy spices.

Lelong2, amma appa anne! kari kari!
Niat memasak dah ada, bahan2 memasak dah lengkap, Beras Basmathi pun ada. TIME je takde... bile nak masak? cakap skit!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is how my curry goes…

Firstly, the recipe

Rempah kari Adabi Zaf - my dad always remember my boyfriend's first job at Adabi, because Zuffy gave us lots of Adabi spices and other products last time

Then, the ingredients. Some deviation from Papa's original recipe as it needs a little creative touch from the chef (me!)

cooking like a pro

This is the best part, sauté! This is where the aroma started to emerge and you know that you're doing good accordingly…

Hangit skit!

The final part before serving is waiting to be cooked!

My sisters said it's 'kari bawang'

Honestly, it tastes ok. Ok – as if tak malu la bagi orang rasa, tapi belum sesuai untuk bagi bakal ibu mertua rasa. Hehe. Chup! Jangan salah faham, saya belum ada rencana untuk mendirikan rumah tangga dalam masa terdekat.

I rate it as average *grin* I cook Italian cuisine better than this so famous Indian-come-Malay cooking. I, in some way fry tempe the best! Mungkin faktor keturunan juga memainkan peranan penting dalam memasak. Walaupun masa kecik2 kakak2 saya sering ejek saya 'anak kel***' tapi ternyata saya tidak berbakat berada dalam keturunan tersebut. Jawa? Yes perhaps!

And now, the second dish that compliment my chicken curry could have been stir-fry vege. But I couldn't find any recipe that contains bitter gourd together with carrots and French beans. Oh no, how now brown cow do I cook these?

Masak peria je, sayur lain simpan sebab dah malas nak duduk lama-lama dekat dapur

After some Googling job, I managed to find an easy measy recipe of fried bitter gourd (masak senang macam tu pun patut boleh fikir sendiri tak payah Google pon! Tapi kalau masak mengikut firasat sendiri dan tidak sedap, nanti takde sumber untuk disalahkan). For the record, I never had any home cooked bitter gourd. Back at home, mama don't cook us 'rare' vegetables (e.g lady's fingers, eggplants). That is why I didn't call mama for the recipe, but ask Mr.Google instead!

My newly fad

Other than that, my all time favourite – tempe goreng! Yang ni memang tak boleh miss lah kan? Together with ikan masin bulu ayam. Kelakar kan nama dia? Tapi cute, memang macam bulu ayam!

Last but not least, dessert! Cekodok pisang only comes after dinner due to exhaustion. Ish, memang I tak suka duduk dapur lama-lama... kecut tangan.

Okay, now I'm much satisfied to have known how to cook at least one decent edible dish before I turn 25 next week!

Thank you & good bye sayang

Frust menonggeng ok?!
Ye la, siapa tak frust bila dapat sms berita buruk bila kita tengah mengharapkan berita baik?

Tengah hari tadi Pak Yusuf (dokter specialist kepada Tuan Besar laptop) telah mengisytiharkan bahawa Tuan Besar kesayangan tidak dapat diselamatkan kecuali dengan biaya yang cukup besar. What??! Lebih baik beli baru! Konon je nak beli baru, padahal nak bayar baiki pun takde duit, poodah!

Amatlah sedih. Sampai tidur petang pun termimpi-mimpikan Tuan Besar kesayangan yang tidak lagi dapat berfungsi dengan normal. Macam manalah agaknya nasib saya ni tanpa dia? Terkontang-kanting hidup, haru-biru, hiruk-pikuk, kusut-masai dan gundah gelisah.

Sebenarnya Tuan Besar memang dah lama menghidap bermacam2 penyakit kronik. Setiap kali saya balik Malaysia, mesti Dr.Papa akan memperbaiki, ada sahaja yang diterapi, sehingga Tuan Besar kelihatan seakan-akan sihat walafiat. Walhal, dia sakit, fizik nampak sihat, tapi mental dia merana. Nak kata kena infeksi virus, tak jugak. Tuan Besar ada bermacam2 perangkat imunisasi.

Mungkin saya yang bersalah, tidak pandai menjaga harta benda. Tapi, dimanakah salah saya? Wallahualam. Sekarang, saya dah sadar, walaupun masih bingung. Saya berjanji akan lebih berhati-hati dalam menjaga harta milik sendiri. Tolonglah berikan saya satu lagi kesempatan untuk membuktikan yang saya mampu menjaga harta, tidak lagi lalai atau sembarangan. Tolong!

Atau mungkin juga musibah ini merupakan petanda — bahawa sudah sampai waktunya untuk membeli laptop baru.

Klau ada rezeki saya nak laptop kecik, yang senang dikepit di bawah ketiak dan dibawa kemana-mana. Juga tidak perlulah saya memanggilnya 'Tuan Besar' lagi. Mungkin 'Cik Comel' atau 'Cik Kecik'

Atas katil sebelum tidur pun boleh baca-baca medical journal dari laptop. Baru baca abstrak, langsung tertidur.

Sebenarnya saya sudah berazam untuk bertahan dengan Tuan Besar kesayangan sekurang2nya 1 tahun lagi. Kerana saya berharapkan untuk dapat mengumpulkan wang dari hasil titik peluh sendiri untuk membeli laptop idaman. Please deh anak dara sorang ni, umur dah nak suku abad, tapi satu sennn pun tak pernah dapat. Asyik kena suap je! Eh, bukan rasuah, tapi suap oleh mama dan papa. Tapi bukan suap masuk mulut, cuma transfer dekat bank je.

Oleh kerana Tuan Besar kesayangan telah dengan segala penat lelah menghambakan dirinya kepada saya selama 3 tahun (wOohoo~ laptop korang boleh ke thn 3 thn?), maka, dari hati yang tulus dan ikhlas saya ingin berterima kasih sebesar-besarnya kepada Tuan Besar.

Seandainya Tuan Besar ditakdirkan untuk tidak dapat disembuhkan walaupun dengan biaya yang tinggi, dan harus hidup dalam kecacatan permanent, saya rasa haruslah saya mengucapkan selamat tinggal wahai laptop ku sayang.

Functioning without

2011-01-20T21:54:00.001+08:00

Laptop is still not back on my lap... *sad*

Yet, I suddenly got an assignment which is to be presented tomorrow morning. What? WhOoa! How? Sangatlah malas untuk pinjam laptop orang lain *shy*

But wait... Who said I need a laptop to work? Thank God I got my iPhone with me, which works more or less the same as my laptop could.

See.. I got Safari, not chrome

Since I'm presenting it in Bahasa Indonesia tomorrow, so this really helps..

Then I copy and paste it in my notes

Supposedly I arrange it into powerpoint form. So I tried to search for something that might work...

Oejr&/$]^*¥832heen?? Mboh! Tak paham!

Ah, Tipah tertipu lagi!

Seems like Apple never is going to work with microsoft... I couldn't find any apps that resembles Ms Powerpoint *disappointed face*

Therefore, I just emailed my part to Rou so she can arrange em all into slideshow. Ok, see you tomorrow.

Psst, I can't wait for Glee season 2!!! Damn I'm thrilled!

Get Well Soon si Bidan Terjun

2011-01-19T00:04:00.000+08:00

Laptop tak sihat. Tiba2 dia menggigil semalam, sampai harini jadi semakin parah. Sampai saya yang tengok ni pun jadi fenin la~ dan mual2.

Kesian dia.. Jadi saya cepat2 sms Pak Yusuf,

"Pak, laptop saya layarnya goyang2. Bisa bantu baiki gak?"

Pak Yusuf terus reply

"Ok, nanti sore saya ke sana"

Ringkas, cepat, tangkas!
Sore tu dia terus sampai rumah. Check2 skit pastu dia cakap, laptop sakit parah, perlukan opname untuk rawatan lebih kurang 3 hari dan perlu dioperation jugak.

Ye lah kan, laptop tu dah berumur. Walaupun pada mulanya dia hanyalah sebuah bidan terjun...

Ceritanya begini, waktu itu laptop lama saya tiba2 mogok tak nak ikut balik Indon, tapi flight dalam beberapa jam je lagi, camne nih? Saya harus balik ke Indon, dan laptop harus ikut! Sebab waktu tu saya masih dalam proses menyiapkan thesis.

Jadi, saya pun main bedal je mana2 laptop yang ada dekat rumah dan inilah laptop 'rebound' yang dari saat itu menjadi teman sejati. Free2 je laptop ni dapat ikut naik kapal terbang, dapat tuan baru yang comel pula... (nah, ambik plastik ni kalau rasa nak muntah)

Beberapa bulan setelah kejadian itu, rumah saya dimasuki pencuri keling yang tegar. Alhamdulillah, keling biadap tu tak sempat curi apa2 kecuali laptop mogok saya.

Itulah padahnya wahai laptop, kau berlagak sangat tak nak ikut balik Indon, kan dah kena sapu dengan keling! Biarkan dia, padan muka! Agaknya papa yang nak buat police report pun malu nak reportkan tentang kerugian sebesar sebuah laptop-hampeh-tak-boleh-diharap. Sekian.

Kepada teman dan taulan, sanak saudara dan sahabat handai, saya mohon mendoakan supaya laptop saya cepat sembuh dan tuannya tak dikenakan bayaran yang terlalu tinggi, sebab saya takde insurance, Jamkesmas pun takmo tanggung.

Pastu... nanti saya dah nak birthday, adalah sangat tidak comel meraikan birthday dengan pocket kopak.

Maka dengan ini, segala sambungan cerita akan dilanjutkan setelah laptop sembuh. Oedem jari2 saya kalau perlu type segala bebelan di qwerty ini.

Boringla awak takde... Skit lagi saya jadi emo!

Public Health comes to an end Part I

2011-01-18T01:05:00.000+08:00

Alhamdulillah…

Another department is completed. By means, I'm done with all the five major departments, from exhausting-but-amazing Medical to the stinky Obstetric and gynecology, followed by the awesome Surgery to the stressful Pediatric, and finally the most staggering Public Health.

Again, praise the Almighty Allah

Public Health is my favourite major department if I must say, mainly because it was not in RSSA. It feels so relief to take a break from RSSA for two months. Despite of having to travel on several angkut rides for almost an hour journey, working in the puskesmas is one of the best moments to treasure. I have gained so many new experiences while in the puskesmas, the experiences that I knew I wouldn't get it elsewhere but in Lawang.

The working environment is simply enjoyable with an overwhelming people to team up with. From the head of puskesmas, the pharmacists, the nurses, the admins, the ambulance driver, the security, the cleaning service, the bapak parkir, the ibu bakso and ibu kue, everyone has the courteous to offer that make me feel so much welcomed, and feel so comfortable to work with regardless the lack of facilities.

Chillin at the UGD. L-R, Zana, Ibu Dian, Roula and :)

I woke up the morning on my last day of working in Lawang heavy-heartedly. Thinking of my life back in RSSA is just devastating. While preparing my morning report in the room, I heard several knocks on the door, it was Ibu Dian. She brought us breakfast of her homemade nasi pecel! Ya Allah, baiknya manusia ni…

Ibu Dian's Nasi Pecel *thumbs up*

"Kemaren ada yang bilang ke ibu kalo dia ngidem maam nasi pecel"

Oh no! I didn't say that!!! Last night during dinner at the world's best warung nasi lalapan penyet nearby our puskesmas (seriously that was the best lalapan I've ever had and I gonna miss the lalapan for real!), I told her that I've had nasi pecel the night before during oncall, and it was awesome. That's all! Didn't a bit that I mentioned about craving for one! Well, Ibu Dian is simply nice.

The best lalapan penyet I've ever had. My last dinner in Lawang

"Ibu masakin nasi pecel, biar kamu inget nanti pas udah pulang ke Malaysia"

Aww… ibu~ *terharu* do you have to make me miss you and Lawang and the foods? Nanti kang kalau I mengidam time pregnant, habis satu kerja plak nak kena cari nasi pecel! Ade ke nasi pecel best jual dkt Malaysia? Mesti tak sedap macam yang ibu masak!

I remembered one of those days during oncall, I was in the room watching Eat, Pray and Love with Roula where both of us were starving but too lazy to go out for lunch (dah tu tengok Julia Roberts melantak, lagi la memulas2 perut kelaparan… especially the Spaghetti Bolognese! I was all salivated). Then suddenly ibu Dian came, knocking on the door with a plastic bag of soto! It was weekend and she wasn't on duty, but she merely came to send us food!

"Ini ibu bikinin soto, katanya favorit!"

Have I ever said that?! I remember telling her that I like to eat soto and the Indonesian soto is different from Malaysian soto. That's all! Besides, my favorite Indonesian foods are tempe goreng and gado-gado. Conversely, Ibu Dian's soto is my favourite!

About the much salivated spaghetti Bolognese, I got the week after I came back to Malang. It was the nicest spaghetti ever only because I longed it for days, where I actually miss papa's spaghetti so much and I dreamt of having pasta in Italy.

The cause of watching Eat, Pray and Love. I had to wait for days til I came back to Malang for this.

More on food, I once went to eat at Bromo Pojok Mie Pangsit, a treat from Pak Eko. And we went there by an ambulance! I didn't know ambulance ride could be that much fun, hehe! Pak Eko is the pharmacist-come-ambulance-driver in our Puskesmas.

On that very day, we were on duty at the market (have I mentioned that we gotta standby in the ambulance like paramedics nearby the pasar besar on several days from Christmas til New Year?), then we had a call from the HQ demanding the ambulance in order to mobilized a patient to the RSSA. Since Pak Man (the original ambulance driver) wasn't around, so Pak Eko took the wheel, crazily. I mean, crazily! That was the ambulance ride which took my adrenaline to the level!

No wonder those two months in Puskesmas had put me on a few kilos heavier! Nothing to regret, it was fun either way~

Sunday to cherish

2011-01-17T00:45:00.000+08:00

Today is a bless~

This morning, I woke up with the best feeling to wake up to – the feeling of necessity to run to the toilet a.k.a nak terberak.

Honestly, I don't usually get that feeling, people around me think I'm constipated, I think I'm having GIT problem, mama was once worried too that she brought me to Dr.Choo for check-up, and thoroughly after a few history taking, he said I'm fine, it's just my pattern… I envy those who berak every morning and those who do after meals. Jealouslah, korang bangun pagi2 'business' dah laku! (ok, cukuplah bercerita tentang berak)

What's more uplifting was I waked up on a nice spring bed and airconditioned room – I slept over at Frente's. Actually I felt so reluctant to get up and get ready, but since we've planned to go for swimming, and apparently already an hour late, I jumped off the bed, get into my swimming suit and drove off to the club house. There, we met… guess who? Our interne specialist, our supervisor from the hospital (nama adalah dirahsiakan)! Ouch, malu kot sebab my swimming suit walaupun tak macam Victoria Secret's swimwear, tapi 2 pieces yang menyerlahkan perut-tak-belum-sexy-ku. But, since the supervisor was so engrossedly swimming back and forth for only-God-knows-how-many-laps, so we reckon that he might not recognize us. I am positive that he would not recognize me either way, not as much as he would recognize his interne resident (Frente)!!

Swimming on Sunday

The swimming pool was super chilling! Berli got out of the pool with cyanosis although we already bought her hot milo to keep her warm. Since the water was chilling, I wasn't so sure about swimming that much since I easily got cramps when its cold, so we decided to just sit in the pool cafe sipping on nice hot cup of tea. Subsequently, swimming left me feeling so hungry that I would swallow a Godzilla!

Sego duro : nasi with paru goreng, daging dengdeng, empal daging, nangka masak lemak, kelapa goreng, tempe i-forgot-the-name, and taugeh.

We had 'brunch' at Depot Buk Matirah at the train station. Wanted to come here since few months back, but we never had the time to since it is only operating til noon. The sego duro was awesome! Frente knew this place from the TV show, macam Jalan-jalan Cari Makan, tapi ni version indon. Tapi kita memang suka jalan-jalan cari makan pun, kalau boleh setiap kali makan luar, kita akan try makan tempat lain2. Pastu kalau sedap, kita boleh pergi lagi, kalau tak sedap memang petuuuuih!

Sego = nasi, duro = Madura, speciously means my lunch was Madura cuisine. That was my second time having sego duro though, and the first one didn't taste much different though. Wait, I think I probably have tried sego duro very long time ago during my stay with my foster parents, since my foster mother was Madura origin and she liked to cook me so many unique foods as she wanted me to try as many types of Indonesian food as possible. Hah, memang patut la lepas tu masa first year je I naik berat 10kg! Waargh stress sebab sampai sekarang belum dapat kembali ke berat asal 6 tahun yang lalu!

Lunch done, stomach is fully filled with happiness *smile*. With that wide smile, we drove up to Istana Dieng, checking out Atlas Fitness Center. As I have just mentioned, I have gained 10kgs and still have a few to shred to get back to my normal weight, therefore I need to work it out! Work it out babe!!! Kan nak perut macam VS models kan?? And since Frente said she wanted to do hiphop, so we opt to enroll with Atlas, because my current fitness center doesn't have hiphop class, and besides Atlas seems to be the most well equipped gym in Malang. Sedih, kita takde Celebrity Fitness nor Fitness First dekat sini… *nangis tersedu2*

I went with Nadine to Atlas last year. We dipped in the whirlpool for almost 5 hours, gossiping ^_^

At Atlas with Dayah, this was 4 years back

Oops, dah terlalu malam untuk menulis lebih lanjut. Padahal cerita hari ini masih terlalu panjang… to be continued okay?

Besok masuk department baru (ENT = Ear Nose Throat), ada pre-test at 6am. Betul SIX a.m! okay sudah, haruslah tidur sekarang. Good night!

Epidemiology study, unintended shopping and the biggest tofu!

2011-01-13T10:08:00.001+08:00

Assalamualaikum sunny sunshine! A very good morning to you!

Do you know that different coffees come with different smell? I am no expert about coffee, but the smells are distinguishable and somehow come with evocating remembrance of certain memories. Do you feel the same?

It's a good morning to wake up to, Thursday – the module presentation day at the campus! Meaning, I don't have to rush to Lawang this morning on an hour journey by angkut *shake shake*

Yesterday was apparently our last day of working day in the Puskesmas. Since we haven't prepared our epidemiology study (for today's presentation), we had to be excused from work and get it done! As it is 'Public Health', our main stream is on the public a.k.a the community, not exactly the patients neither the hospitals. Right, I'm not going to elaborate on how Public Health is actually working, gotta save that for the next entry!

As according to the statistic data from our puskesmas (fyi, I hate statistics), we went off to the selected village with the highest prevalence of disease. Initially, we thought it would be diarrhea as their main problem (due to hygienic reason), in fact upper respiratory tract syndrome seems to be leading!

Why eh?

You see, this is one of the industries. They are medical appliances suppliers, and they caused hazard to the population surrounding.

This is why… See, there's a factory around here. A big one! Not only one, many more factories indeed! Naughty naughty factories' pollutions causing the population to have major respiratory tract syndromes.

Pathetically, these populations are not aware of how these factories are taking charge of their health and home (aware that most of them are not highly educated and with poor concern on health). But what's more pathetic is how these factories' management egocentrically planting their much-causing-pollutions industries in the middle of a poor village *frown*

Right after we're done with work… we went to this very pathetic restaurant which looks very promising from the outside but very upsetting in the inside! That's another major disappointment of yesterday *frown again*. The bright side was however, I've had the biggest tahu ever in in my entire life. Not that gigantic though, but big.

Ya know why Indonesian tofu is so good? It's crunchy outside and aired and fluffy inside! It's called tahu petis, eaten with petis, the black sauce

Huge tofu!

This is how huge the tofu is compared to my already huge head.

Hereby, I'd like to remind whoever is reading this or who are not (maybe you can inform your friends too), don't go to the Depot Sari Rasa, which located along the main road nearby Lawang. It sucks man! Suck big time, that even eating the biggest tahu ever can't recompensed the pathetic-ness of the restaurant.

Despite of eating the biggest tofu for lunch, it didn't surfeit me for long. I was in a ravenous state that evening during shopping, which is very unlikely to happen. Because shopping supposedly is a suppression therapy for hunger and stress. Oh yea, I accidentally went for shopping yesterday after got back from work. I haven't gone out for shopping for months that I even forgot that I am actually a female! Where did I lose my X chromosome at??

I got 4 discount vouchers and this is Tomyam Fried Rich, which taste nothing like Tomyam at all!

The main reason to go to MOG was solely to buy cartridge for Zana's printer, but we got home with shopping stuffs and no cartridge!

I ought to show off my shopping stuff to my sisters *wink wink* but I ain't revealing what those 'shopping stuffs' are! And we accidentally had our lunch at the mall too! Damn those discount vouchers!!! I hate discount vouchers on meals.

Kejam! Teramat kejam!

License to malas

2011-01-09T23:55:00.000+08:00

Oh no it's Sunday!
Albeit of being the only day among the seven to be what we called 'public holiday', everybody secretly hates Sunday! It's hard to love Sunday for the next day is Monday. It's a jinx, no wonder it is always red dated in calenders!

As for me, I always prefer to rest at home on Sundays, to store up energy for a good vibe to start a new week on Monday. Ish, jahat betul Mon(ster)day sampai I kena mengorbankan Sun(shine)day di rumah.

Anyways, I did quite a few things today - that did not consume much energy, and bring good vibes. Waking up not so early, but still the earliest among other housemates, I went to the pasar. As usual, to get something good for my tummy and bought the-never-forgotten tempe!

After breakie (gedik skit nak type 'breakie' instead of 'breakfast'), tidy up the room and shower, I went off to the town for a hairspa and head&shoulder massage at the saloon, but I came too early before they started operating. Therefore I went down the aisle into several textile shops. Ok, boleh jadi gila tengok kain cottons! Sudah lah.. Naik beca, bawa diri balik ke saloon.

If a genie could grant me 3 wishes, one of it is definitely to have my own masseuse and hairstylist - it's the most orgasmic thing I could indulge in so deeply besides having chocolates in my mouth.

Back from saloon, with freshly stimmed hair and calmed aroma, I preferred putting myself on a princess treatment on bed to a beauty nap. Ah~
Now, it's time to bed. I am on my final chance to be malas before I wake up tomorrow morning and take the double angkut ride on an hour journey to Lawang. Therefore, I blogged on bed, with my head on my pillows.

Good night Sunday!

Iota #25 - Super Ring

2011-01-08T19:25:00.002+08:00

Sila mengaku siapa masa kecik2 tak pernah makan benda ni?

Takde orang mengaku? Ye lah, sebab semua (kot) orang suka makan ni especially masa kecik2 zaman sekolah rendah.

Pastu, kalau dulu I makan benda ni dengan penuh gaya, macam ala2 mami jarum. Bling bling habis~

Dulu muat masukkan jari sampai ke bahagian proximal phalanges, tapi sekarang macam dah tak muat... Gemss!

Lepas makan, mesti jari2 jadi macam ni, pastu malas nak pergi basuh tangan.

Maka baju sekolah akan ada kesan2 degil color oren2 sebab kena benda ni. Kalau dah tahap pemalas sangat, kain baju sekolah akan jadi mangsa, lap tangan dekat situ. Budget tak nampak la kotor sebab kain baju sekolah color dark blue.

Bila balik rumah and Kak Siah nak basuh baju baru dia bebel2. Tapi I kan rebellious, atau kira macam majikan derhaka, akan buat muka annoyed!

Pastu mama pun marah sebab makan benda2 tak senonoh macam tu. Bila dah besar... Baru sedar betapa tak sihatnya makanan ni. Tapi, lepas dah beberapa tahun tak makan, rindu plak!

Ingat ni! (My version)

2011-01-07T22:40:00.002+08:00

This cannot be happening!!! I mean, this MUST be happening to me… like this time, right now!

For God's sake (dah lama tak guna perkataan ni) I'm turning 25 years old in 24 days! Gile apa? What's so gila about being 25 anyways? The thought of it is devastating. Not so devastating actually, until…

Until wawa posted on her blog about something about her wedding dream!

Wawa, my gedik younger sister whom always thought I'm more gedik than her but as truth will hurt her by the fact that she is and always be more gedik than me, sadly she has to live with the fact that she's gedik-er nonetheless how gedik I am, anyway this gedik little old girl has already planned something for her wedding! Read this!

Told ya she's gedik! *eye rolling*

Me, going to be 25 in 24 days (mendada sambil mencekak pinggang), while she (menunding jari telunjukku yang tak runcing) is not even 20 is already getting itched (menggatal) to get hitched!

Papa, tengok wawa ni dah gatallll nak kawen!!!

No, no (tunjuk jari telunjuk sambil yang digerakkan ke kiri ke kanan, dan kening yang mengkerut) not before me! Hey you, ada boyfriend pun ke?? *bLuerk* Ok, Wawa and Nawal if you are reading this post, I know you both are laughing out your asses there and rolling on the floor over my bahasa melayu mak nenek. I can hear youuuu if you must know Melbourne and Malang is not that far… still both start with the letter M (walaupun letter M tu takde kena mengena pon dengan jarak antara Melbourne and Malang, but so what?).

Thanks anyway, you make me started thinking about getting married somehow – although I'm not planning it to happen too early. But heck, I can still plan it right? Just like how you did! If you're in for the laces, I think I'm going for the blings! And ruffles too! Yes, all blings from head to toe. I want my wedding dress to have Swarovski crystals studded all over, and kalau orang Melayu said 'manik dan labuci', kalau orang Indon said 'payet', well I want it all, and all over!

Even on my shoes and head gears! Though I haven't think of what head gears I'll be wearing since the Wedding Don'ts #3 says 'Tiara is only for princesses not brides', so I'd probably not be wearing tiara (or maybe I might who knows, I kan princess~ *gedik mode*). But for sure, my head gear won't be helmet or swimming cap, I can bet on that!

Wawa, look what I've found for you! Beautiful vintage lacy wedding dress. But sexy la wa, nanti wawa mimpi ustad cakap "Kenapa awak kawen pakai baju sexy?"

Then, as universal precautions to all my guests, I'll send my wedding invitations with a red alert, warning them to bring along their sunglasses. Kan nanti I jadi terlalu bling bling sakit pulak mata saudara-mara kita tengok I terlampau bergemilapan especially yang dah tua-tua tu (for examples; mak, tok puan, tok nah, tok nora, tok yu, tok chom, along). If I have extra budget, I'll slip along pairs of 3D-glasses (you know, the green and red screens), so that they'll get to see me in 3D, or probably binoculars too!

As for me, I dream of a beach wedding in that kinda beautiful bling blingy dress

This is for Nawal. Don't you just loooooove Hello Kitty? Bye bye Panda?

So, to Wawa, I've got my wedding plans too! And you please, please, at least for this reason don't be more gedik than me cause I'm older was born earlier than you and I ought to get married before you! Pergi India sana!

Perut idaman

2011-01-07T15:01:00.003+08:00

(edited)
Malam semalam sebelum tidur saya ada terberangan (memang wajib berangan kot every night before tidur, so no such thing as ‘~~ter~~’berangan! Poodah!), correction – malam semalam sebelum tidur saya berangan nak perut kempis yang slim and sleek but lean and a little bit tough, senang kata perut macam Victoria Secret’s models.

Ada ke manusia yang berjantina perempuan tak nak perut macam model2 VS?

So, memang tak salah la kalau I berangan macam tu kan? Lagipun Rhonda Byrne dah mengumpulkan banyak evident2 dari para ilmuan dan ahli fikir yang terkemuka yang cakap berangan itu sangat penting! Sangat penting! Sejak dengar cakap Rhonda Byrne, saya terus jadi dreamer yang agak extreme. Semalam bukan setakat berangan nak perut kempis, tapi berangan dengan segala mejik dan keajaiban di dunia dan di langit bahawa saya akan bangun pagi dengan berperutkan kempis, flat, slim, sleek, lean, a little bit tough, pendek kata perut macam VS’s models!

Pagi2 tepat jam 5:41am WIB, saya dikejutkan dengan bunyi handphone. Ahhh~ bestnya bunyi ringtone ni! Ringtone yang khas, menandakan itu adalah panggilan kesayangan dari Zuffy!

Good morning sayang!!

Lepas cakap beberapa minit (ye lah sebab boyfriend saya nak pergi kerja so tak boleh la cakap beberapa jam pagi2 tu! Jangan mengada!) saya pun sambung tidur balik. Eh lupa sebenarnya nak check adakah segala mejik dan keajaiban di dunia dan di langit itu terjadi kepada saya? Adakah perut saya kempis, flat, sleek, lean and a little bit tough? Memang lupa nak check sebab bangun2 je terus happy sebab dengar suara Zuffy.

Oh, patut la orang yang dah kahwin kebanyakkan jadi menggemok, sebab diaorg happy sampai lupa nak check perut! Apa lagi timbang badan. Nauzubillahminzalik! Harap2 saya akan happy dan sentiasa menjaga perut, berat badan, wajah, kulit, kesihatan dan penampilan walaupun dah beranak 8! InsyaAllah… maksud saya InsyaAllah supaya saya dapat sentiasa menjaga perut, berat badan dan lain-lain, bukan insyaAllah untuk beranak 8! Tapi kalau beranak 8 pun apa salahnya kan? Nanti boleh jadi Hot octomummy~

Sudah cukup rasanya, lenguh jugak blogging pakai phone ni… dah la tak boleh letak color2, bold2. Nak letak gambar boleh, tapi takde gambar yang sesuai untuk entry ni. Takpe, nanti I carikan gambar yang agak boleh masuk la.. Pastu kalau rajin angkat badan untuk duduk laptop, I will make this entry a bit colorful.

Hey Heidi Klum, my hot mommy idol. Great thing about her is, she went on the VS runaway 2 weeks after giving birth to her 2nd child! Gila best, 2 weeks je perut dah cun balik, after 9 months of stretching tu!!

This is my fav VS model, Adriana Lima. All VS models however have The-Dream-Tummy, but Adriana for me has the exotic look. Prolly because she's a latina, Brazillian to be exact.

Ini pula, tummy idaman Zuffy. He sent me this photo early last year and he was in kinda extreme tummy building that time. Sekarang? Walaupun perut you tak seberapa macam dalam gambar ni, tapi you tetap the hottest hunk! Nanti kita sama2 workout untuk dapatkan our dream tummy k?

Rezeki

2011-01-06T21:52:00.000+08:00

First of all, Alhamdulillah puji syukur ke hadrat Allah SWT di atas segala nikmat dan rezeki yang dilampahkanNya. Terima kasih tak terhingga kepada mama sebagai penyampai rezeki dan tidak lupa kepada Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) sebagai sarana untuk menyalurkan rezeki yang datang dari Allah dan ditransferkan oleh mama.

Mama, duit dah masuk. Thank you very much! Bil nak chat dengan mama, tapi malam ni on-call la plak. Klau nak sms pun kadang2 mama tak check handphone, nak email pun maybe besok pagi dkt office baru mama check. So Bil say thank you dkt blog je la (tau mama tak baca pon! Sama je!). I love you mama!!

Harini je dah bayar drivers Rp14200. Baca betul2, I tulis driverS. Hebat tak hebat, tapi I memang ada banyak driver, berlambak dekat jalan, masing-masing berebut nak jadi my chauffer. Walaupun limo diaorg takde lah macam Donald Trump punya, tapi still boleh sumbat sardin 16 ekor. Sebab kiteorg pernah naik limo ni satu batch (batch I kan ade 16 orang je).

Selain daripada bayar driver, I makan pun bukan main punya melahap sekarang! Buktinya, bukan saja purse menjadi semakin kurus, tapi seluar semua pun dah ikut-ikut jadi kecik... Ish! Tak patut salahkan seluar.. Memang kau tu gemok, sila cermin peha gemok dan bontot besar yang semakin membesar tuuu.

Tapi kan, memang I suka pakai seluar ketat2 pun, bak kata mama
"macam bungkus nangka!"
atau mak akan buka cerita zaman dulu2 masa dekat Singapore, girls tak boleh pakai seluar ketat, nanti police inspection bawak botol kaca yang macam botol kicap tu and masukkan dalam seluar kite, kalau botol tu tak muat means seluar kite ketat sangat la tu. Betul ke? Kesahihan cerita mak belum dapat dipastikan. Nanti kita tanya nenek2 lain yang dari Singapore.

Hand and mouth hygiene

2011-01-05T13:01:00.001+08:00

Today's activity is to teach the school kids about hand and mouth hygiene. Despite of being very impromtu regarding the plan, the program went smooth and just well. As a saying said, plan it and it will all fall into places.

Since the school is right beside our puskesmas, we went there on foot. Are you ready kids??

Introducing, Dr.Yam and Dr.Bil. No, we're not here to take off your nasty teeth. We're not dentist either...

Dr.Roula and Dr.Zana were on hand hygiene

Budak sihat ni paling enthusiastic! Thumb up!

Let's practice!

We put on coloring to their teeth, they've gotta brush it out correctly!

Them brushing up

Dah bersih! tingggg! *sunglasses on*

First round of group photo

Bila ada group photo, ada je la geng2 yang tak puas hati

Budak paling cute! hehehe

Ok, sudah selesai.. ngeplas yuk!

We had fun, and I'm sure the kids too! Credit to the teachers especially to the principle who has given their very best hospitality to us and preparing the pupils for our program regardless the very short notice.

The program went too smooth that it ended way ahead before time. Oh no! We would like to hang around longer (practically because we were too reluctant to get back to the puskesmas, very reluctant indeed!). Therefore, we made a detour to the pasar, and stop by Mungil for some dessert. Gile manis and tak sedap kau punya es teler! Makan es poden tepi pasar lagi best! Ok, so it was a major disappointment, especially when the es teler cost three times more expensive than the usual. Cekik darah kau eh. Dah la manis macam nak suruh aku potong kaki!

Alright, I gotta laid back and relax now.. I wish tonight on-call is going to be safe and sound, amin!

2010-12-31T07:50:00.000+08:00

Good morning the last day of 2010!

I'm excited! I'm excited that 2011 is just in ticks away. Though I never been a New Year Party people, neither have I gone out celebrating any (except last year – due to 2 months of sudden-hectic-life in the hospital), I am however very motivated forward for 2011 and excited about it! Why??

2011 – is where I have wrote long time ago in my long lost diary that "I have to achieve one of my foremost dreams, my wildest, most pathetic childhood dream – to become a doctor"
*blush* yes yes, in this particular year!

So, that's it!

More plans coming on 2012! Stay tuned!!! *winK winK*

Going off to Lawang now! Might be celebrating new year in the ambulance at the Pasar Baru Lawang tonight. Lol!

Thank God we got weekends!

2010-12-20T23:56:00.004+08:00

The only time I can remember where I had a total break (after more than a year of bone-breaking-brain-squeezing of work) was the 36-hour in Malaysia, it was a true blessing, I had a blast definitely.

Yesterday was another idyllic time to spend – Surabaya gateway!

Ke Surabaya aja lah yang kita mampu… Apparently because I don't have that much time to travel any further than Surabaya. Second, because I didn't have any big budgets to spend, especially for a weekends break like this. Yet, it's way much better than just being stuck at home and sleeping the whole of weekends, right? After all, Monday awaits… *stress!*

I'm glad that Frente is on her Bangil outstation during the time I am still in Lawang. We planned for a few more outings where we can spend our weekends exploring Jawa Timur better (particularly the nearby attractions). Yesterday wasn't really an exploration of Jawa Timur, but we did something different in Surabaya than what we usually did (selalu pergi utk makan, lepak, shopping2).

Frente got her Lonely Planet Indonesia along, and I got my Google Map to GPS us around the town. DSLR and tripod are included in this what we called 'Surabaya Study Trip'. First stop was at Tugu Pahlawan. Actually we were heading to the China Town where we passed by this place and decided to stop. Managed to learn nothing, just to snap lotsa crazy photos on her DSLR.

Tugu Pahlawan of Surabaya

The China Town was somehow a disappointment. I was expecting a strident hectic market where red lanterns are hanging everywhere and people speaks Mandarin – just like how it is in Petaling Street or China Town in KL. It was much a disappointment after a long attempt to get there, the market is closed, left us only garbage and foul smells. So, the chinese in Surabaya don't stay for night markets I reckon. However, it was a success for us – to get to that middle of nowehere without any local guide but only Google Map. Congratulations Bil and Frente!

Next stop is to the Galaxy Mall for one specific reason – is to get our essential drugs where it is nowhere to be found in Malang. Next stop is… *drumroll* Starbucks! *euphoric mode*

Since it's Christmas season, they've got this minty taste Peppermint Mocha Frap *heart*

Move to Surabaya Town Square @ Sutos for a movie, first we had dinner at the Kafe Betawi. Jakarta food to our yummylicious! Tron in 3D is ok. But since we went for the midnight show, I was kinda sleepy somewhere in the middle of it. It's cool, though I'm not a big fan of sci-fi.

Back to the hotel at almost dawn. The road is clear! Maybe we can roll around on the asphalt for few minutes without being hit by a car! About the hotel that we stayed in, it's Majapahit Hotel – another thing to count in in our 'Surabaya Study Trip'. At the age of over a century, the hotel looks cool still. Something different than staying in business class modern hotel, it's antique, old-fashioned, homey, cozy and well preserved… It is one of the historical places in Surabaya.

Checking in one of the historical places

We're planning to get back to the hotel, majorly for the exoticness feeling of it and therefore we're going back for a spa! Martha Tilaar spa to be exact! One day… I'll blog about it! *loveeee spa!*

Another must-have!

The next morning we woke up, to Frente's dream come to reality. Particularly, she was so much aspired to stay in this hotel especially because the restaurant is uniquely situated facing the main road of Surabaya. Therefore, we opt for the window table during the breakfast. Yay, tercapai cita-cita untuk makan di 'tepi jalan'. And to my latest addict to Sour Sally came true too! We got froyo for three, together with Mbak Ninin whom we planned to meet at Pakuwon, thank you for the treat!!

Spectacular opening act of the circus stars

Another thing we've done during the 'Surabaya Study Trip' was to the circus! Yes, you heard me right – the circus, the acrobats, clowns and well-trained animals! The last time I've been to a circus was around the age of 10. I can vividly remember how spectacular it was at the Royal London Circus that time. Though this time at the Soviet Circus Stars was halved the size of Royal London and halved the excitement, I am still amazed that 80% of the performers were Indonesian. They are really that well trained and even the animals came from the Taman Safari Indonesia! Isn't that a wow?

To add to that, we finally managed to get to the Pakuwon area. Sebab dulu kita pernah nak pergi G-Walk, tiba-tibe tersasar masuk highway, terus balik Malang (dengan perasaan hampa dan perut yang lapar)! Haha!

Perhaps, that's something about it. Though I might not have holiday throughout this 20 months of Dokter Muda life, but I'm glad I have a bestfriend to go around and have fun with!

2010-12-17T17:56:00.001+08:00

What I did yesterday was something beyond the most disgusting thing I've ever did in my entire school years.

For the past year I've had done numerous of unwholesome jobs where most non-medical people might find them nasty enough. Such as rectal touché – where I had to insert my index finger into (mostly) men's anuses to get feel of their prostates, sometimes to get my finger shitted in order to check on patients' feces, vagina touché – where I had to insert both my index and middle fingers into women's vaginas to get feel of (mostly) the presentation of their babies, I've even had my whole hand into a woman womb through her vagina to pull out her placenta and got malodorous blood all over, and I've helped around with the foulest, filthiest gangrene wound. Yet, none is revolting enough to erect these hairs on my hairy skin as what I did yesterday.

As I am now in the Public Health department and operating at the suburbs in the community health center (or what we called 'Puskesmas'), we are supposed to do home visits, school visits and as such. Yesterday was my first school visit. I went only with Dr.Iza the dentist, mainly to do health screening (e.g : hygiene, vision, hearing) on the primary school pupils.

Excited!

Screening is totally a fun yet exhausting work, especially on little rascals. The catch of it is, we are (with our competency) expected to help those in need, such as extorting those loose teeth (this was Dr.Iza's job), and… extracting cerumen a.k.a earwax – and this was obviously my job! OH MY GOD!

The standard one class, with the gorgeous doctor *wink*, their principle and class teacher!

Let me describe it in 2 letters and an exclamation mark – E.U!

Eeewwh~ I seriously felt goosebumps all over me whenever I had to peep inside their ears. Some kids really have bad bad bad nasty earwax obstructing their ear canals. Yellowish, brownish, slimy, some are as hard, small and sandy, some are as big as pebbles, Eeeeuu!!! It really gives the nasty horrid feelings and it kills me slowly inside. I hate this job!!! Sebenarnya, saya geliiiii korek telinga kamu semua! *muka kena control, be professional*

Yang pakai white coat tu tibe2 terasa femes mcm Kim Kardashian sbb menjadi rebutan and request utk bergambar bersama. huuukk*

I couldn't think of anything else that would sicken me better everytime I had to pull out their ooie gooie waxes, but to repeatedly saying to myself

"Oh Allah, please make me strong, please make this nasty job worth for the kids. May they listen better and class and excel in their studies"

*tarik nafas panjang*

(yes it is still nauseating me everytime I had to re-call it)

Dear parents,

If your kids aren't doing well in school, don't blame on them or anyone else, don't need to rush them for extra tuition classes. Well, check what is there in their ears, and if they can see clearly.

For now, with high possibility, I can assure you that I will not (by any circumstances) pursue to become an ENT specialist.

Dear papa,

Thank you for always checking out our ears and pull out our earwaxes (though we might hysterically scream and someone had to help you in holding us still), in order for us to hear clearly and listen better to our teachers (though mama likes to assume us having 'sound trouble' whenever we didn't response to her call). Now I know how horribly disgusting the job is. Nak termuntah tau! Dah hijau2 muka tahan geli… E.U!

The cost to breathe

2010-12-14T23:33:00.003+08:00

I can't believe that I just fell into the engrossedly-search-for-Magnum craze! Following the much much salivation on Wall's Magnum new advert, the whole Indonesia is on Magnum crave I reckon, consequently, it is nowhere to be found in any of the Wall's box in any shops nationwide! It is the hottest thing that's 'in' now (though it was already in the market for years… hmm, the advert really works!).

Siapa yang buat advertisement Magnum yang mengliurkan tu? That person is to be blame for this search-for-Magnum-craze phenomenon! Btw, this stick goodness cost Rp10,000.

It is so good to get to hangout with Frente after weeks and unloaded this almost exploded laugh box. Catching up with her is like getting an amphetamine injection, we can find everything around us humorous and the moment we realized, all the stress is gone! Yayy!

This evening, she brought me to Coffee Time. She's been planning to show me to this place of an awesome live band performance since months, but considering the pathetic-ness of inconsiderate Indonesian who likes to in-door-smoking, our plans were usually hampered. So today, we went there a little bit early before it gets crowded with inconsiderate smokers, but too bad it was too early that the band hasn't started yet. It's alright, at least we got clean air to dine in, or else I'll be getting my asthma attack due to excess smoke inhalation.

Hazelnut caramel latte at Coffee Time, same price as the Ventolin for nebule.

Talking about asthma, I had a patient who came into the clinic this morning looking so distressingly suffocated, as if he got a rope strangled around his neck. The way he walked, his bend, even without hearing him wheezing, I can certainly see that he's having an asthma attack. As he came in front of me, he could barely talk, so I checked him up and found a full wheezing on all area of his lungs.

Oh pity bapak… from my findings, he's a severe persistent asthma patient. According to him, he has been given different types of medicine but none works so well on his asthma. Checking on his medical record, I think it's time to add in some steroid to go with the bronchodilators. However, I was still concern about his present condition, it must be very hard for him to barely walk home, thus I suggest him for nebulization.

"Kalau pakai uap (nebule) yang lima belas ribu itu langsung enak saya dok, tapi ga apa2 lah, cukup minum obat aja"

Wondering why he refused to be nebulized although he knew that it was the best treatment for him, then I came to a conjecture that he had to pretend that his condition is not severe as he chose to only be treated in the walk-in clinic rather than to be sent to the UGD (Unit Gawat Darurat @ Emergency) because he knew it would cost him much more expensive there.

"Kenapa kok bapak ga mau pake uap?"

I insisted,

"Ga cukup uang dok, cuma sisa lima ribu buat ambil obat…"

he honestly answered me in his shortness of breath.

Damn, this cannot be happening! As an asthmatic I am, I've been on a few events of asthma attack that papa had to rushed me to the clinic in the middle of the night for nebule, therefore I utterly understand how suffering it is to bear breathing in a constricted bronchus – like hell!

I decided to get him nebulized, he has to be nebulized before he walked off this puskesmas. So I got him nebulized… For a considerably price to pay to make him easier to breathe, I hope it did not resembled my sympathy, but just an empathy.

And then again, thinking that a Rp15,000 is such a hefty amount for some people who couldn't even afford to pay for his own breath, I wonder what he is going to have for lunch. I wonder if he ever tried the nasi lalapan bebek penyet at the warung in front of the puskesmas, it cost Rp16,000. Alhamdulillah, I at least got enough money to eat, though I always in short of cash.

Nonetheless, a range of fury creeps through my vein. How can this be happening? How can someone so poor and so sick live in this country where someone else can afford to drive a Porsche, when he is there suffocating because he only have five thousand rupiah in his pocket?! Where did the taxes go? Why can't the government spare some of the taxes to make salbutamol nebulization free of charge? Some poverty don't just literally need to breathe, they indeed really need help to breathe.

It must be super stressful to really be a doctor in this country. Knowing that your patient's life could actually be saved, if only he/she is not that poor. Or shall I rephrase, 'knowing that your patient's life could actually be saved, if only whoever those rich bastards who corrupt the people money is burn directly in every level of the hell, and revert the money to the hospitals and to the poverty'.

Then I again count my blessing, to be born Malaysian, despite of anything they said!

When a person walk to you for a help, be glad. God is answering his prayer, through you.

My first ambulance ride

2010-12-13T21:06:00.002+08:00

Turn the siren on and glide along the road smoothly*

It was an exciting way to start my Sunday morning. Going onto an ambulance!!! Sorry for being excited about it (maklumlah, orang first time… jakun skit!), I'm sure it was a bad news for the patient and her family to have to ensued an advanced check out in the general hospital.

Since Pak Man our puskesmas driver was off on Sunday, we got to call the red cross for an ambulance.

The patient, an 85 years old woman came into our UGD the evening before with a chief complain of an acute dysarthria with very high blood pressure. Therefore, we diagnosed her with emergency hypertension with neurological disorder (cranial nerve XII), and admitted her. Without any other apparent symptoms of lateralization and normal findings on her neurological examination, we exclude the possibility of stroke. The next morning we woke up, her condition got worse. The family in panicky went haul over the coals at the nurses. Not taking any risk, we decided to refer her to the hospital.

In the ambulance, I had a chat with the patient's daughter. She seemed to cool down and relaxed. She told me about her children and how she wished she could marry one of them with a doctor.

"Anak saya yang bongsu lulusan blablabla, sudah bekerja di blabla. Sekarang lagi di Singapore untuk urusan blabla. Anak saya yang ketiga itu, lulusan blabla, bekerja di blabla, sekarang sudah ada rumah sendiri di blabla… and blablabla…"

Then she continued

"Adik saya juga punya anak cowok belum menikah. Dia lulusan dari blabla, sekarang kerjanya bagus di blabla, maunya adik saya itu menantukan dokter juga"

And suddenly, not surprisingly but unanticipated questions came out (I can bet you 1 million rupiah for this question!)

"Dokter Nabilah sudah menikah?"

Dah agak dah… So I said "Belum"

"Kalau dapat orang Indonesia mau?"

HuAargh! Over betul makcik ni

Sternly, I said "Ga mau"

"Kenapa, sudah punya pacar ya?"

With a clear voice and a firm smile I said "Iya, sudah!"

Hmmm… kenapa tiba-tiba rasa macam ambulance ni slow sangat eh?

Arriving RSSA, after handing the patient, she came to me with watery eye ponds. Oh no makcik, please don't get emotional with me. I'm bad at this! I had the time of my life riding on the ambulance for the first time, don't spoil this excitement…

"Mintak nomer HP nya dokter bisa ga?"

Eeer… ok

"Ini alamat rumah saya, nanti kapan2 dokter datang ya?"

Eeer… InsyaAllah. Then she hugged me. *startled*

And so that was my first time riding on the ambulance!

*the road wasn't as smooth as I imagined it would be. Indonesian drivers are selfish, reckless, and deaf perhaps. OMG, benci gila tengok kereta2 degil yang tak reti nak give way for ambulance! Stupid a55hol3!!

Mf la pulv dtd no.X

2010-12-09T23:49:00.000+08:00

Day 4 at the Puskesmas is still giving me the 'honeymoon mood', despite the rumors saying that my puskesmas is the busiest of all, but so far I'm good – at least it's not as busy as our general hospital, pergh! Hitherto I've got good sleep. Even last night during my on call, everything went smooth (Alhamdulillah!). From the seizure patient, to the acute gastritis, to the suspect of SOP (space occupying process, e.g: brain tumor), everyone had at least a safe and sound night to rest to.

For the last 2 days, I was attending the pediatric clinic. If I had to describe it in one word, I'd say 'Cute'. Notwithstanding the goosebumps I got everytime a patient walked into the office, I kept my prayers recited over and over

"Ya Allah, please please make this easy for me"

"Please, demam je lah… batuk or selsema je lah… please don't tell me any sakit2 yang pelik2"

Thus, the most confusing case I've got that needed me to consult the GP was 'Phimosis' where neither of my differential diagnoses had stated it. Ish! Tu pun taktau ke?! It's ok, first time handle case without supervision, ok lah kan if I thought it was urethritis or rupture of posterior urethra?

Juling mata nak mencari ubat...

Today, I started my pharmacy posting in the puskesmas. Since it is a puskesmas (community health center), the pharmacy doesn't prepare a complete list of drugs like those hospitals have. Therefore it is a challenge for us in prescribing patients with uncommon drugs, as some preferred drugs might not be prepared for free whilst the community there is economically-challenged.

A day in helping the pharmacists preparing drugs has brought me to the idea of how selfish most doctors are. Burok giler kot tulisan korang! I couldn't even read 'Paracetamol', like what symbols on earth did you guys wrote??!! Is that wormy even looked like the letter 'P'? Even Najat's writing is one millionth times better than those 'drugs prescribers' (kena guna istilah 'drug prescribers' sebab malu nak mengaku 'doctor' dgn tulisan mcm orang tak reti pegang pen).

So so so… enough of tangling my brain's fold, I chose to do the pulverization. Duduk diam2 sambil tumbuk2 ubat pakai lesung. Before I studied pharmacology during the 5^th semester, I never knew there was such thing as pulverized preparation of drugs. It is particularly prepared for children whom are not (yet) trained to swallow pills/tablets/capsules, so we put 2 or more different pills and clout them together into powder like, and divided into several amount. I think it is funny, and worse, deteriorating the affectivity and efficacy process of the drugs. As far as I remember, I only had medicine in syrup preparation when I was a kid or papa himself would pulverized the pills by himself so I could swallow. Thank you papa! *love love*

Masuk ubat ubat dalam lesung

Tumbuk2 sampai hancur

Finally, divide and bungkus!

Nevertheless, I love helping around the pharmacy particularly because of the friendly pharmacists. Wait, everyone in the puskesmas are mostly friendly, especially the nurses. They have somewhat revived my judgment on nurses, not all nurses are a55hol3 like, some can be really smart, helpful, friendly and nice, just like those in my puskesmas *peace*. They are so nice that they've always bring foods and snacks to share together that make me pig myself out and gobble up, yes, a guilty pleasure!

Donat gula

2010-12-07T19:56:00.001+08:00

This morning I woke up by a soft kiss of the tender morning sun that seeks through the translucent curtains over my windows. 5:50am, ah, lovely. It's holiday, and I got 24 hours for myself today. No work, no call, no patient, no exams, no datelines *deep breath and smile*.

Alhamdulillah, praise God for this exquisite feeling of sovereignty.

I indulged deeper into my blanket with my eyes refuse to close, I knew I wouldn't want to just waste this 24-hour for nothing. I grabbed my life (phone) safely tucked in my palm and begun to text Zuffy and then I checked out the daily news (which is Twitter). Zuffy called, my heart starts pumping, a smile is carved on my face, I got my essence of life, sun shines brighter, and then I started to jump out of bed, bouncing! Happily!

Good morning and Happy new year 1432 Hijrah everyone!

I haven't had any decent meal since the day before, I must have been starving but I wasn't really that hungry, I just craved for some sugary donuts instead. If only I know how to make big fluffy donuts and have the ingredients before me, I'd make holy amount of donuts and stuffed myself like how Doraemon stuffed his on dorayaki. I must get that donat gula that I imagined! So I went out to the pasar to help myself looking for that very particular donat gula or something virtually almost like one in my imagination.

These cuties are for my tummy. However the donat gula is nothing close to the one in my imagination. Still, it's a donat gula, I can't afford to put so much hope to my dream when it comes to food.

More than five years in this first estranged place, my tummy has been through a lot of frustration and longing for some particular foods which are nowhere to be found around here, it has been trained to accept foods which are not similar to my imagination. It is now a more grown up tummy, it has learnt about acceptance and tolerance, it is now a matured tummy that I think I have to start calling it 'stomach' instead.

Sunbathing babies~

After breakfast, I started my habitual holiday room cleaning session. It feels so good to at least start my morning to be a productive one. I put my sleeping gears for sunbathing for a few hours. From the mattress to those tiny babies I sleep with. Everyone has to go for sunbathing! No excuse!*muka garang*. While they're out grilling under the scorching sun, I chase out the dust bunnies that has been hanging around on my furniture for some times.

Then it was almost lunch time. My housemates decided to eat out. We actually eat out everyday, for every meal, it's just today we decided to find something nicer, in other word a little more expensive and exquisite foods to enjoy together.

We can do better than these! Percayalah!

Yes, it has been ages since we prepare respectable meals in the house. It has been ages since you can find fresh poultry and vegetables in our refrigerator. But hang in there! don't get us wrong. It's not that we didn't want to cook, it's just that time is not allowing, you see… we're students whom are prepared to become carrier women. If we could turn back time, we would desperately want to become housewives! We are not anak dara pemalas or anak dara yang tak reti masak. Says who?!! *muka serious anak dara ayu*

If you're looking for anak dara to make your isteri, or attentions makcik pakcik if you're looking for calon isteri for your anak bujang (yes, we only accept bujangs, no duda, no suami orang, boyfriend/tuning/bekas orang also we tak hingin), we will still show you our CVs which we proudly state that 'saya pandai memasak', betul tak tipu! So, stop labeling anak dara orang as pemalas or tak reti masak before you try us!

Masak apa? Itu rahsia rumah tangga kami!

Oh before that I have to add this, out of the six anak dara in my house, one is engaged, three is happily in a relationship (including me), and two are still available and looking for someone suitable. Saja bagitau, takde makne nya!

Okay, I think I'm done blogging.

Actually, no. Initially, I wanted to share about something important I've learn today from my Guru Zhafri *love love*. I promised him to take a very deep note about the lesson and that is why I wanted to blog about it. But it's okay, maybe next time! Apa yang penting? Kerjasama~ wonderpet wonderpet kami datang!

Note to myself : Love change. It grows, it doesn't always have to show. Just open up my heart and try to feel it from deep inside. It's there, don't worry!

Hey community!

I'm taking this few minutes to drop by a few words, particularly of how I feel right now, before I proceed to my next department.

Next department (which has already started since the last two weeks) is Public Health or in short known as PH.

For the past 2 weeks, I've been at the campus, attending Public Health lecture (again! We've actually had PH lectures for three semesters), but this time we were emphasized on motivation to serve the community and reminded us (again) the importance of community service is. It works! As I've always love to do – community services, health promotions and prevention of diseases, but least on the analysis, data collecting and statistical.

Tomorrow onwards for the coming six weeks, I'll be leaving the hospital for the Puskesmas (a.k.a Pusat Kesehatan Masyarakat), precisely in Lawang, an hour drive from home. There will be five of us interns (Dokter Muda) where four are girls and a guy.

Puskesmas Lawang – was the most talked about Puskesmas out of the seven. And what they talked about Lawang are mostly the awful stories, their dire and all the harsh harsh. They said, it's the busiest puskesmas compared to the other seven. They said it's upgrading the standard from a community health center to a hospital. They said it can have up to one hundred patients in a day. They said most of the cases are severe and referral rate can be up three cases in one night, in which mean, we have to back and forth mobilizing severe cases patients to our referral center (our teaching hospital) by ambulance.

Well well well… those are just what they said. What's important now is just for me to be prepared, mentally and physically to face all those glitches and hitches, and pray hard for everything to turn out well, relishing and most importantly sanctifying – aminnn!

Right now however, I'm feeling so much unenthusiastic, or shall I honestly say 'very reluctant'. Thinking that there will be no wifi connection around the place, I have to travel every morning as early as 6am by angkut on an hour journey, spending so much on transportation, wasting so much time on the road... *sigh*

Okay Bil, think positive!

Think positive!

Be optimistic!

SEMANGATTTTTTT!

Live Sinetron

*flash back 1 week previously*

"Ya Allah dokterrrrrrrrrr!!!"

Itulah ayat pertama yang saya dengar dari ruang CT scan. Dalam keadaan kelam-kabut dan gelabah-gelabah saya mencari Dr.M untuk lapor diri bahawa saya koas (a.k.a dokter muda) yang jaga UGD (unit gawat darurat) pada petang itu. Sebenarnya bukan gelabah sebab apa, takut dokter tu bengang je sebab I datang lambat. Takde lah lambat pon, on time sebenarnya tapi saya ke belakang dulu untuk sign attendance tapi sebenarnya Dr.M tu pon lambat jugak, sampai dokter yang stase pagi ketika bertembung ditengah jalan, dia sempat mengoperkan (meng-hand-in kan) patient yang time tu tengah gawat dekat UGD kepada saya, sebab dia cakap Dr.M tu belum sampai lagi! Kantoi!!! Kwang kwang kwanggg… tapi takpe, selambe! Nasib baik Dr.M cool je…

Kembali ke sinetron tadi, sebenarnya saya dah tau dah patient yang baru di CT scan tu keadaannya memang gawat. Mula-mula sampai dekat ruang CT scan tu, dengar isteri dia macam hysteria, saya ingatkan patient tu 'sudah berangkat' (ke Rahmatullah). Tapi rupa-rupanya masih panjang umur dia, cuma isteri dia je yang agak slow sikit dalam memahami keadaan suaminya yang 'sudah tidak lama' itu.

Memang saya difahamkan oleh anak tiri patient, bahawa isteri baru bapaknya itu slow. Kata anak lelakinya itu dalam keadaan yang menggelikan hati

"Emang begitu dok, orangnya itu 'telmi'… ngedeso, ga ngerti blast"

(Memang macam tu dokter, orang tu (ibu tirinya) lembap… orang kampong, tak tau apa2")

Sebenarnya saya rasa macam nak tergelak je bila budak tu (umur sekitar 18-19 tahun) mengumpat mak tirinya, tapi seperti biasa saya harus tetap maintain cool… control~

Prognosis untuk penderita stroke haemorrhage memang buruk

atau seperti yang sering dikatakan orang Indonesia 'jelek', lebih lagi yang perdarahannya sudah menekan otak sampai terjadi herniasi sampai ke bahagian pons (brainstem), memang jelek habis lah! Survival rate untuk hidup dalam 24jam memang sangat tipis (kecuali dengan izin Allah).

Jadi, keluarga patient berkali-kali (memang kena bagitau berkali-kali sebab bak kata anaknya, mereka 'telmi') diinformasikan tentang betapa jeleknya keadaan patient ni yang memang tak ada harapan untuk hidup. Tetapi tiap kali bertembung dengan isteri patient, pasti isterinya mem-begging supaya suaminya diselamatkan. Bukan tak nak selamatkan, tapi cuba cakap sikit macam mana… semua ubat-ubatan dah masuk, vital sign dah dikontrol ketat, nak operation? Mana boleh, herniation dah sampai brainstem tuh! Neurosurgeon mana berani? Kalau berani pun nanti kena saman sebab bukan indication.

Yang penting sekarang, tolong lah pergi berdoa, sembahyang hajat, baca Yaasin, minta dekat Allah. Tak faham betul lah orang-orang ni, jarang betul saya nampak ada ahli keluarga di ruang tunggu yang pegang surah Yaasin atau naik ke musholla untuk solat. Bukan jarang, memang tak pernah pon!!! Geram betul tengok ahli-ahli keluarga yang duduk melangok tercangkuk melalak-lalak meraung-raung tertonggeng-tonggeng dekat luar UGD tu sebab tak boleh terima kenyataan yang ahli keluarganya dalam keaadan kritis (memang scene emosi melampau macam dalam drama/sinetron mereka).
Gerammm!!! Macam mana dokter nak kerja selamatkan patient kalau tanpa bantuan Allah??! Cakap sikit!

Untuk memendekkan cerita, umur patient ini agak panjang sehingga dia sempat diusung ke ICU (sebab selalu patient jelek macam ni memang meninggal dkt UGD). Waktu dia ke ICU, kebetulan sama dengan waktu saya shift di ICU. Okay, sabar…

Sepanjang di ICU, Isteri patient yang menunggu di luar meraung-raung memanggil suaminya sehingga dia harus ditenangkan bukan sahaja oleh ahli keluarganya, tapi oleh orang-orang sekitar juga.

"Ya Allah, aku memohon mukjizat mu!!!"

"Ya Allah, suami ku memerlukan mukjizat mu ya Allah toloooooooooong!!!"

Dari jam 11 malam sehingga jam 3 pagi, itu sahajalah yang kedengaran dari luar ICU. Bukannya perlahan, orang dah melalak! ICU kita pula bukannya sound proof pun!

Adoi… betul-betul rasa macam tengah tengok sinetron yang penuh emosi, rasa macam nak keluar, pegi sound ibu tu je…

"Maaf buk, tolong jangan teriak-teriak ke Allah, Allah itu maha mendengar. Silakan berdoa dengan tenang"

Tapi tak sampai hati pula nak kacau orang yang tengah dalam keaadan jiwa kacau. Silap-silap saya yang masuk ICU kena terajang dengan dia! uuuu takuts~

Pukul 3 pagi, mata saya sudah 90% tertutup, otak dah 99% on hibernation, badan letih lesu, tiba-tiba nurse panggil saya dengan tenang (yes, dia memang sangat tenang)

"Mbak, Pak S (nama dirahsiakan), sudah apnoe"

relax je nurse tu cakap dengan muka mamai-mamai dia…

"What?! Apnoe? Ayo resusitasi!"

Walaupun dalam hati saya, mungkin resusitasi tidak akan berhasil, tapi kita tetap harus resusitasi. Saya terus menelifon resident untuk melaporkan keadaan patient. Sementara menunggu resident datang, sebelum para nurses menyiapkan diri untuk resusitasi, saya pun memanggil keluarga patient. Isterinya sudah pengsan di luar.

Ok, good! Kalau isterinya tak pengsan tentu dia akan meraung lebih kuat dan mengganggu patient-patient lain di ICU.

Tak sampai 5 menit, patient itu pun dijemput…

Innalillahiwaiinailahirojiun.

Saya pun… ZzzZzz~
