p/s: not having second thoughts :)

so i am bloody tired, did a presentation bout Young Mercy will be presenting at the International Humanitarian Conference this thursday. went to an-nur to present to to prof ikram, ended up assisting in a hemi-thyroidectomy until 9pm. anuar intubated and assisted prof ikram. dr razale taught us step by step bout how to do a hemi-thyroidectomy. really cool.

i guess i do mean something to him.
he sure means something to me.

what a day

sorry been out of contact, no internet in terendak and the battery for my handphone has been caput for two days. so a summary of terendak~

day2: clinic day first time met a person using a prosthetic limb ( he had a crushing injury 15 yrs ago ) so was fascinated. asam pedas melaka sgt sdap at sawit, but went tp pakcik dahans house and had SELEMBU ( seladang and lembu ). cried to sleep, first time i cried coz of u. met dr. rosman but dun minat him anymore.

day3: OT day: ACL reconstruction ( semitendonosis tendon ) and meniscus tear, arthoroscopy. lunch at pangkalan balak again and dinner at seri restaurant after playing futsal with the juniors and psychiatry students ( scored 4 goals in two games ). discovered Lachmans test is hard to do evn on kurus guys.

day 4: OT day: ACL resonstruction ( hamstring tendon ), wanted to watch a bone-tendon-bone but thin sgt, lunch at sawit ( rojak ayam sgt best ) and went to melaka town to eat dinner and jalan2 to jonker ( was closed ) and found that the parks were full of cute lighted animals. loads of fun. heard that some people xcukup elective credit hours, not me tho. phone habis battery.

day 5: last day. OT: crush injury ( open fracture of first phalanx ), lecture on blast injuries and mangled limbs. lunch at asam pedas sepang, went to seremban police station to see afeera and iman yg accident ( emergency break kereta afeera hit car infront ), back to dpp. slept a lot in the car.

currently: waiting for bugsy to take me home, sleepy.

another step in life

well i have great news!

this afternoon, kak yang gave birth to a healthy baby boy after just 3 hours labour! when she reached an-nur she was already 5cm dilated beb..so it was a normal SVD and both mum n son are healthy.

so, since one of us has taken the next step. when are the others gonna? huhu

other than that, i'm back in TERENDAK!! back to the sleepy resort rooms and great food! met Dr. Fuad today the one and only ortho. we had a gud start since the day started with a group breakfast at the usual place in front of the junction to the terendak camp [ i swear i'm gonna eat anything i want in malacca the food is so good ] then we had a briefing and straight away clerked the patients. there are loads actually in comparison to IM dulu. we have two patients each and tommorow we'll start presenting! wuhoo!
the cases are also quite interesting, a lot of sports injuries like meniscal and ligament tears but we also have cellulitis and OA cases as well. and the patients here are superbly nice.

but the best thing is that now we are in fourth year and have adapted to clinical life, we find it no problem to present esp. at terendak. the first thing we actually did when we arrived was to introduce ourselves to the staff and went to clerk so i think we really did have a good start. plus we went to the OT to watch a CMR on a 5 yr old boy who obtained a supracondylar fracture. all this while we have been watching CMRs done but we really did not know how to do it and what to look for while doing it so today we learned.

THE FOOD!! so what we did was go to pangkalan balak today for lunch [ 7 org share ABC! ] and then we went to Sawah restaurant for dinner [ the one with the green nasi goreng ] i can't wait for the goreng pisang and rojak for tommorow. we are going to Sawit pulak!

p/s: the downsides today are that i didn't see Dr. Rosman and the internet here kinda sucks

my prayers

dear Allah,

let what I did today was for the best. and please not let me have any doubts. teach me that patience is a virtue and permit me to let go of the ghosts of my past. here in my mind, let me trust and believe in this. and if we change, let it be mutual and towards the same goal. hear my prayer, as i am never sure bout the decisions i make but i need this. thank you.

let's be healthy

the accumulation of lactic acid in my calves and arms [ the after effect of swimming two days in a row ] has forced me to sleep early tonight.

idiotic men

my housemates told me bout a 'panggilan hangat' for hot fm from a husband that wanted to ask his wife about poligamy. what the poor hot fm djs did not know was that this particular husband had REAL plans to marry another lady. so the djs called up this lady and the lady was polite but at the verge of tears. she did not agree to the idea of her husband marrying another but knew that her husband was already planning to. she asked the dj why her husband was not brave enough to talk to her face to face. not knowing that she was on air nation wide. at the end, the dj told her that it was a panggilan hangat and she put down the phone.

HOW IDIOTIC CAN A MAN BE?

firstly, i'll be brave enough to say that most malaysian men get married to a second wife purely because of lust. yes, i have met some of my friends parents that have obtained a second wife and treat them fairly, but those i can count. what about the countless first wives who have to endure the words ' sunnah nabi ' when they are not responsible enough to even take care of one wife? bull.

secondly, why go on national radio to actually ask? pure and simple: he is a coward. these men who cannot even have the guts to ask for permission and actually risk of having the poor wife humiliated. these kind of men are not leaders, they obviously do not respect women.

i'm not saying that all men are like this, but come on..how many times have we heard the stories? to all future husbands and husbands. think before u act.
