I HATE IT!!!!

27/04/09 - Oncall
28/04/09 - Post-call
29/04/09 - Pre-call
30/04/09 - Oncall
01/05/09 - Post-call (get to go back half day cos of public holiday)
02/05/09 - Passive call (since it's a weekend, I get time off from the end of specialist rounds up to about 7pm, but have to work until about 11pm).
03/05/09 - Oncall

What the %#@*!!

I HATE this department.
So far, I have not found anything that I like about this department.

Every morning, I have to go to work early just to try to finish the rounds.
Passover starts at 7.30am, and usually the MO rounds start right after passover.
Which means, your rounds have to finish before 7.30am.
On top of that, if you clerked any cases the day before that, you have to find the tickets of those patients to bring downstairs for passover.

Passover - if you clerked the case, you present the case in front of all the specialists and MOs and HOs.
If the specialists have any questions (regarding the patient) for you, they ask you.
If you can't answer, you are an idiot 'cos that is your patient.

So many times in Paeds, we, HOs were told that we are not clerks, but doctors.
But here, I feel like I am a clerk.
Nothing more.

So many times, I feel like I am unwanted in this department.
I feel like everyone hates me (and vice versa).
My colleagues are OK though, most of them are nice.
The specialists and MOs - the moment I feel that one of them is nice (or not bad), they will say something to make me hate them all over again.
ARGH!!

Everyday, there is a stress while going to work.
So far, I have not dreaded going to work.
But I think, soon, that is going to change.
I HATE ORTHO!!!!
I hope I am not extended.
I don't want this torture to be prolonged!
Already I am just waiting to get out of the department.

Enjoying Myself

It's been a long time since I updated my blog.
I have had quite busy this week.
My MO and specialist were not happy that we (HOs) are not finishing our rounds before they start their rounds, so, now, we are forced to start our rounds early, at about 6.30am.
That, plus the fact that there are so many things I don't know about Ortho, which means I have to come back and study everyday makes blogging even harder.
However, what totally stopped me from blogging recently is a story book.

There are many kinds of story book.
Obviously every loves a feel-good kind of story book.
Nobody wants to feel sad after reading a book (or watching a movie for that matter).
It's the same with me.

There are story books which make you think, make you appreciate what you have.
There are story books which make you feel like puking.
There are books you wish you never started reading.

The book that I got me stuck this time is a simple book.
A book who's ending was very predictable.
No complicated storyline.
No hard, un-understandable words.
But I really enjoyed reading it.
Maybe 'cos it has been such a long time since I read such a book.
A book that you can just read and enjoy.
A book you look forward to reading.
I miss those times when I didn't have to care what time I slept - just read until you are tired enough to sleep 'cos you can always catch up with sleep the next afternoon.

My short break is over.
Time to get to studying.
I am oncall tomorrow.
:(

It's A Small World

Just the other day, a friend of mine suddenly told me - 'Hey, you know something, we are related!'

One thing about Indians (I don't know about Malays and Chinese and everyone else so I won't comment on them) but Indians, when they know you are from A, they will ask you do you know so-and-so who is also from A?

I don't know how many times people have asked me whether or not I know this person (or that person) who also studied in Russia.
Most of the time, my answer is no, because I am an anti-social person.
Plus, there are at least 5 universities that Malaysians go to, and there are at least about 500 Malaysian students in each university (no, I am NOT exaggerating).

Anyway, this girl (SG) she went for a wedding and met her cousin's wife (AF) there.
The wife then asked her whether or not she know Sharini (since SG said she is working in Ipoh).
SG said yes, 'cos we were together in Paeds.
And then, AF told her that I am her cousin.
See how the connection goes?
So, basically, me an SG - we are distantly related.

This just goes on to show how small the world really is!
(I am sure you would have had similar episodes too!)
I may be related to you, for all you know (you can be an Indian, Chinese or Kadazan - I have them all in my family tree).

Today, I end my post with a song-lyric, a song that I've liked since childhood (but never know the lyrics to). I am sure you know how the tune is, so just sing it once through..couldn't find a nice youtube video to put up with this post.

It's a world of laughter,
A world of tears.
It's a world of hopes,
And a world of fears.
There's so much that we share,
That it's time we're aware,
It's a small world after all.

Chorus:
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small, small world.

There is just one moon,
And one golden sun.
And a smile means,
Friendship to every one.
Though the mountains divide,
And the oceans are wide,
It's a small world after all.

Chorus:
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all.
It's a small, small world.

Embarrassing Situations

I received this in an e mail the other day.

The title of the mail: Embarrassing Medical Exams

(I don't think the title is suitable though)

Hope you enjoy reading it as I did..

1. A man comes into the ER and yells, "My wife's going to have her baby in the cab!" I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the cab, Lifted the lady's dress, and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly I noticed that there were several cabs ---and I was in the wrong one.

Submitted by Dr. Mark MacDonald, San Francisco


2. At the beginning of my shift I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall. "Big breaths," I instructed. "Yes, they used to be," replied the patient.

Submitted by Dr. Richard Byrnes, Seattle , WA


3. One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a Wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not more than five minutes later, I heard her reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a "massive internal fart".

Submitted by Dr. Susan Steinberg


4. During a patient's two week follow-up appointment with his cardiologist, he informed me, his doctor, that he was having trouble with one of his medications. "Which one?" I asked. "The patch, the Nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!" I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body! The instructions now include removal of the old patch before applying a new one.

Submitted by Dr. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk , VA


5. While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked, "How long have you been bedridden?" After a look of complete confusion she answered "Why, not for about twenty years - when my husband was alive."

Submitted by Dr. Steven Swanson- Corvallis , OR


6. I was performing rounds at the hospital one morning and while checking up on a woman I asked, "So how's your breakfast this morning?" "It's very good, except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste" the patient replied. I then asked to see the jelly and the woman produced a foil packet labeled "KY Jelly."

*KY jelly is a lubricant we use when doing certain procedures (not to be eaten)

Submitted by Dr. Leonard Kransdorf, Detroit, MI


7. A nurse was on duty in the Emergency Room when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read, "Keep off the grass. "Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which said, "Sorry, had to mow the lawn."

Interested In Sex?

WARNING!! 18SX - DO NOT READ IF BELOW 18
(in case someone decides that my post is not suitable for the so-called-innocent mind)


One thing I've noticed for quite some time, and I can almost confirm this after yesterday's post - people are generally more interested in reading about sex and other sex-related topics (rape, molest, incest etc.) than any other topics. My proof?
1. I have posted a few articles with the word sex/rape in the title. The days I posted those were the days that I had many visitors to my blog.
2. Nuffnang most read blog - besides how to earn more money, titles that seems to always makes it to the top 10 seem to be sex-related as well.

My conclusion?
I don't really have a conclusion.
I guess people are generally just interested in coitus.
:P

Anyway, it's my last day of tagging today.
I am SO GLAD!!
I am tired.
I have been coming home at about 12.30am for the past couple of days, and have been waking up by 6.15am.

Not only that, my dreams have been filled with fractures and more fractures.
Yesterday, I couldn't even sleep properly. I kept waking up every now and then, and the first thing that comes to mind when I wake up (while still in the half asleep state) is 'closed bimalleolar fracture with medial subluxation of the right ankle' - a diagnosis for one of the patients in the ward. ARGH!!!!

However, I am oncall on Sunday.
I am really afraid.
I don't know what to do if a patient suddenly collapses.
I hope all the patients in my ward are stable.
And I hope there are not many admissions.
Fingers crossed!!

*I suddenly remember a quote I read somewhere once - love makes the world go round, so make love everyday.
Nice one, huh!

Men And Sex

Something I read in Marley and me...(the narrator is a guy)

We now had 3 girls and 1 testosterone-pumped guy bird(referring to chickens) that spent every waking minute doing one of three things : pursuing sex, having sex, or crowing boastfully about the sex he had just scored. Jenny observed that roosters are what men would be if left to their own devices, with no social conventions to rein in their baser instincts and I couldn't disagree. I had to admit, I kind of admired the lucky bastard.

Haha...any comments, guys?

Joke

Here's a joke that you might have read before, but hey, it's funny..it's worth another read. :P


During one of her daily classes, a teacher trying to teach good manners asked her students the following question:

'Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?

Michael said, 'Just a minute I have to go pee.'

The teacher responded by saying, 'That would be rude and impolite.
What about you Sherman, how would you say it?'

Sherman said, 'I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back.'

'That's better, but it's still not very nice to say the word bathroom at the dinner table. And you, little Johnny, can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners'




'I would say: Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to go shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope to introduce you to after dinner.'

Happy New Year

2nd day of tagging.

Yesterday I didn't feel that bad, but today I am tired.
My head aches.
It will be worse tomorrow, I am quite sure about that.

3 days to go.
I will make it.
I just hope I don't have to be oncall this weekend.
I really, really don't want my first call to be on a weekend.
However, I think my wish won't come true.
It's just a gut feeling.

Anyway, today is New Year for Tamilians and Malayalees (I am not very sure about Vishu- Malayalee New Year, some say it was yesterday, some say it's today. Doesn't really make a difference to me though, although I am a Malayalee.)
* for those who don't know, there are many types of Indians - Tamilians, Malayalees, Telugus, Brahmins, Ceylonese, Hindi, Punjabi, etc. All have different languages, different writings, different traditions, different celebrations.

Today morning, after passover, my HOD wished us all Happy New Year. I was waiting for him to tell that Indians can go back a little earlier today, but that wish didn't come true.
He did tell something interesting though - he said, the Tamil language is one of the 10 languages that is spoken by more than 10million people worldwide.

Well, it is not that surprising, really.
Indians and Chinese infest the world!
I have been to a few European countries for holidays when I was studying.
You can find Indians in all countries!
They are everywhere!!!!
If even 1/4 of these Indians speak Tamil, then that would already be a big number!!

I can't write more.
I have to go back to the hospital.
Hopefully there aren't that many admissions.
I have so many questions to ask the senior houseman.
:P

First Day In Ortho

Today I started my Orthopedic cycle.
First thing this morning, I had to attend the passover rounds.
It was extra long because it is a Monday.
Basically, you have to present whatever cases that you clerk at the passover rounds.
If it is a Monday, then you have to present all new cases from Friday up to Sunday.

After the passover rounds, the captain gave us a briefing about the department.
Then we met the HOD - who gave us a short 'lecture'. It wasn't really a lecture, but I can't think of any other words to use.

Then, I went up to the ward.
I was SO BLUR!
I didn't know any cases.
I didn't know how to clerk cases (taggers are required to clerk new cases).
I didn't know how to manage any cases.
I didn't know where the lab forms are.
I didn't know how things were done in that ward.

I tried reading through a few cases; trying to see how to clerk an orthopedic case.
The other HOs were doing their morning rounds.
I kind of managed to figure out how to clerk a case, but then to manage it?
I have NO IDEA!
The other HOs said that that will take time.
How much time, I wonder.

The whole day passed in a blur.
I clerked 2 cases (the MO/specialist was around and he planned the management).
I still don't know the name of the MOs and specialists.
I don't know how to manage any Ortho case.
I failed 1 line setting and succeeded another - which was a pediatric case.

I have 5 days to learn whatever I can before I am put oncall.
I can't imagine being oncall, clueless as I am right now.
5 days.
I have to work from 7.30am to 12am everyday with a break from 5pm-7pm.
When am I going to study?
ARGH!!!!!!
I should have chosen a different proffession.

I Am Nervous!!

I'm nervous!
I start my new department tomorrow - Orthopedics.
I know almost nothing about Ortho.
I don't even know all the parts of the bones.
I don't know anything about adult medicine.
All I have seen are children and more children.

I have to be at the passover room by 7.30am tomorrow.
I have to introduce myself to all the MOs and Specialists there.
I am nervous.
I hope I don't say or do anything stupid.

Tomorrow will be my 1st day of tagging.
Since it is my 2nd posting, I have to do a minimum of 5 days of tagging before I can off-tag.
Is 5 days enough for me to learn all that I need to know about Ortho?
Argh!!!!

Why Marry?

In Star newspaper today:

Bride dumped at matchmaking agency

KUALA LUMPUR: A 47-year-old businessman dumped his young Vietnamese wife at the matchmaking agency just 17 days after their wedding and demanded a full refund.

The man, who had paid RM13,800 to the matchmaking agency, also took the passport belonging to the 22-year-old woman, identified only as Ngo, from Ho Chi Minh City.

“He complained that he could not communicate with her (Ngo could only speak Viet­na­mese), she wouldn’t wear the clothes he bought for her, and that she kept saying she wanted to go back to Vietnam.

“He left her in front of my office on March 30,” the matchmaking agent, who only wanted to be known as Ben, told reporters at the MCA Pu­­­­blic Services and Complaints Bureau.

What?
What nonsense.
Why would anyone marry someone who can't understand whatever they say?
Weird.

Random Stuff

It's been quite a few days since I wrote anything.
Since then, I've watched 2 Suria movies.
(Unless you are an Indian, I don't expect you to know Suria.)

Anyway, I enjoyed both movies - Ayan and Varanam Aayiram.
Both had rather nice story line; something different from what you usually see in Tamil movies.
The fight scenes were not too bad; although rather too long for my liking.
Varanam Aayiram had a few nice songs.
Suria had so many different looks in both movies - just shows how much your hairstyle can affect your look.

Well, enough of Tamil movies.

There have been so many things going on in Malaysia.
We have a new Prime Minister and a new cabinet.
There were 3 by-elections.
To me, there doesn't seem to be any difference at all - are we supposed to feel the difference?

The economy is still down.

Nicol David lost a match. I feel sad for her. But then just think of how many matches she won. She is one sportswoman I really admire.

The F1 this time was a joke - any Malaysian could have told FIA it would rain and having a race at 5pm is a dumb idea. Well, I guess they learnt their lesson.

2 people have been sentenced to death for the murder of Altantuya.

What else?
The usual accidents and murders and rape cases people don't bother to read about anymore.
I wonder if there will ever be a time when we don't have to worry about our safety when we go out.

Talking about accidents - I am tired of the attitude of some Malaysians.
Why is it necessary to look at an accident?
Why stop your car if you are not going to help?

The other day, when my Dad and I were driving back from Ipoh, there was a jam at the highway - we were stuck for more than an hour.
Why? An accident - not even a big one. Just a car hitting the back of another car. Both the cars were already parked at the emergency lane. It was a 3-lane highway!
Why the hell was there a jam, I don't understand!
Will this 'slow down and look' attitude never change?

My holidays are almost coming to an end.
I start my tagging on Monday - 7.30am to 12am everyday for at least a week.
I don't think I will have time to blog.
We'll see how.
Rather afraid of the new department - totally new stuff.
Wish me luck!

My 'Nose Job'

I have been suffering from allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps for many years now.
I tried taking medications many times.
They keep coming back.
Finally, I went for a polypectomy - FESS procedure, last Friday.

To tell you the truth, I don't know much about the procedure.
I didn't even bother reading it up, although I meant to.

The whole process was quite fast.
I went to the Ipoh ENT.
They asked me to go for a CT scan then asked me to choose which date I would like to do the procedure.
I chose last Friday because it was the end of my paediatric posting, and so I can take a few days leave to rest before my next posting.
As it turned out, I was advised to take about a week leave, so I took 2 days leave from my Ortho posting as well (I get 10 days of leave per posting).

On the day of the procedure, they told me to be at the hospital by 7am.
(I was fasting from 12am)
The surgery only took place at about 3pm.
By the time of the surgery, I was cranky.
I think I was more irritated by the long wait rather than the hunger.
All I wanted was to get the procedure over with.

The procedure itself took about 3 hours.
I was under GA.
The moment I woke up from the GA, the first thing I wanted to do was to pee.
The nurses offered me a bed pan, but there was no way I was going to use a bed pan.
Thankfully they were nice enough to help me to the toilet (I was still quite dizzy from the anaes).

After that, I was taken to the ward where I spent the night.
I was discharged the next morning.
Quite fast, don't you think?

Come to think of it, I didn't eat anything the whole day.
Before the surgery I had to fast.
After the surgery, I had a horrible sore throat and couldn't even think of putting anything in my mouth besides water; plus I was sleepy.

Anyway, right now, the procedure is done and over with.
I am taking 2 different flu tablets every day.
I have to wash my sinuses with an alkaline wash 4 times each day- which I hate doing.
I have to use 2 different types of nasal drops.
I have been given another drug to help control my allergies.

I hope the surgery and all the other troubles that come with it are worth it.
Hopefully the polyps don't come back.

I hate washing my sinuses.
My sinuses hurt a little.
Is that normal?
I think I should call my ENT and ask.
I don't care if she thinks I am complaining too much.
Tomorrow, I will call her.
Hopefully she will be able to give me a solution.

Blur Eyes

Recently, I began to notice that my vision is slightly blur.
It wasn't a gradual kind of thing, one day I could see things clearly, the next day, it was like I forgot to put on my spectacles.
I was (and am) very sad.
In case you didn't know, I did LASIK for my eyes just 7 months ago.

At first I thought that maybe it's just a passing thing, maybe I was just tired (I noticed the blurness on a day that I was oncall).
But then, the blurring of vision persisted even after long hours of sleep.

Since I am on leave right now, I decided to go for an eye check up today.
At first, I thought of just going straight to Optimax Taman Tun - do the checkup and if necessary, the enhancement straight away.
So, I called Optimax Taman Tun.

The receptionists in Optimax have always been very polite, nice people.
Even cousin Nila has mentioned it previously.
I was shocked today when the lady who answered the phone was quite rude.
She didn't really say anything rude, but the way she spoke was enough to make you wonder whether or not she was having PMS.
I wonder what happened to their friendly staff.

At one point, she told me that it won't be possible to do the enhancement tomorrow because they do upkeep of the equipments on Wednesday.
Then I asked her whether or not it would be possible to do the assessment in Seremban.
She then gave me the Seremban Optimax number.
I wanted to ask her more about the check up, but she cut me short and just put down the phone.
What the ....?!

I then called Optimax Seremban and got an appointment with them for today (they were very friendly and nice).
The eye assessment showed that my eyes indeed have a power of 75 and 50.
They said I could go for an enhancement, but then the doctor who did my eyes is not around for now, so I will have to get an appointment for later.

So sad.
The fact that I have to do my eyes again.
And the fact that I can't do it this week.
I will have to take leave again for the enhancement.
Maybe next month.

*Sigh*
Why can't my eyes behave.
It's not like I watch TV or use the computer that much..
*Sigh*

The Worst Chicken Rice In Malaysia

Today my Dad and I drove back from Ipoh to Seremban.
We stopped for lunch in Tapah rest area.

Now, if there was one thing the Tapah rest area is famous for - it's their toilets.
The toilets are HUGE and clean (a rare find in Malaysia).
They even have benches and trees and fans inside the toilets.

However, today I was really disappointed with the food court.
I wanted to eat chicken rice.
There were 2 shops selling chicken rice - Dad bought the one from A*** shop.
The chicken rice was the worst chicken rice I've ever had in my entire life!!

The rice was sticky and tasteless.
The chicken was tasteless.
The amount given was small - which is actually a blessing considering the torture we went through trying to finish the food.
And if that wasn't enough, there were flies everywhere!

What an experience!
My Dad and I ended up buying donuts to satisfy our taste buds.

If you ever decide to stop at the Tapah rest area for lunch, I advise you to not buy chicken rice from A*** shop.
Some things are just not worth the experience.

At The Beginning Again

I can't believe it's been 4 months since I started working.
Time just passed by so fast.

Today was my last day at work in Paeds Ipoh.
In a way, I am sad.
I am going to miss all the staff nurses, the MOs, the specialists, the housemen and (although I can't believe I am saying this) the babies.
Some of the MOs are really nice, and some of the specialists make me feel so protected - like I can depend on them; will it be the same in the new department?

No more cute patients.
No more pm off when I am postcall.
From now on, it's all about fractures and dislocations and surgeries and OTs.

I don't know why I am feeling this way - it's like I am going to move to a new place alltogether.
Of course some of my friends will be changing departments just like me, but the MOs and specialists and staffnurses will be totally different.
I have to adjust all over again, make friends all over again - something I am really bad at doing.

Do I like paeds?
I don't know.
Do I hate paeds?
No.
Will I specialize in paeds?
I don't know.

Next department - Ortho.
I don't know anything about Ortho.
It's like learning a whole new language.
I would probably be tagging for a week - a week to learn whatever there is to learn about Ortho. A week to prove myself worthy enough to do calls.
In a week, I must be able to manage Ortho cases by myself.
How am I ever going to do that?!

I am afraid.
Afraid I won't be able to cope.
Expectations will be a bit higher now since I am considered a 2nd poster.
I am afraid.

I am going to miss paeds.
I am already missing paeds.
I am moving out of my comfort zone...

A Full Day

What a day!

It started out normal enough.

Woke up just in time to rush for work.

Was lucky enough to get parking in the staff parking - the trick is to go late enough so that you arrive when the nurses have finished their shift. Either that or you go to work before 7am.

Started reviewing patients.

MO came for rounds.

Had breakfast with Ruz and Sunny.

Specialist came for rounds.

Chat with Sunny.

Finish up ward work.

Lunch.

Had a few admissions - the normal TTN, NNJ; pm review and rounds.

And then, there was one admission - day 3 of life, term baby with worsening abdominal distension, not tolerating feeding well, vomiting post feed twice, no BO within first 24 hours of life. TRO bowel obstruction. AXR showed dilated bowels and paucity of gas in the rectum. The most interesting case of the day!! We referred the child to surgical - can't wait to go back to work tomorrow to see what happened (since the AXR came back only at 5pm).

5.30pm - left the hospital with Joanne. Me and her had plans to go out last week, but with all the crazy intenet/computer thing going on, we finally went out only today.

We went to this boutique - bought a blouse for RM18!! And, it is quite a nice one. At first I thought it was RM35 and was going to buy it - imagine my surprise when the lady told us it is 50% off!! I am DEFINITELY going back to that shop again!

After that, we went to Ayamas for dinner.

Then, we saw another boutique and decided to just browse through. We tried on a blouse each, but didn't really like what we saw.

I never thought such a thing could happen, but after a few minutes, the lady in the shop told us, 'I am sorry, we are going to close'. What the @%&$*!

Since we didn't really feel like going back to the hostel yet and since we guessed that most of the boutiques would be closed by then (8pm), we decided to go to Jusco and meet up with KV there.

I entered Jusco and what do I see, a flower fest kind of thing.

Here's the thing.
My dad loves orchids.
And the first thing I saw there were orchids.
Do I have a choice?
I ended up buying one.
It sounds dumb, but I actually asked the shop guy how much water I should pour for the orchid - his answer - it's hard to tell; how do you tell a person how much water to drink.
Well, it doesn't matter.
I just have to make sure the plant survives till Thursday - that's just 2 days more. If I can't even do that....

We left Jusco at about 10pm to go to a nearby pasar malam.
KV kept insisting that it would be closed, but Joanne and I said otherwise.
It was open.

It's the first time I am going to a Chinese pasar malam.
I have never really gone to the pasar malam in Seremban.
The pasar malam I love and miss and am used to is the one in Kemaman (I miss the coconut shake!!), and obviously it is a malay pasar malam. So, this was definitely a new experience.

Anyway, this pasar malam is basically full of chinese food, chinese drinks, chinese clothes, chinese accessories and chinese people. Not that I have a problem with it.
My first purchase - sugarcane drink!
Then, I bought dim sum.
Then, I had fish fillet.
Then, Joanne bought chinese sausage (I think that is what it is called). I really have no idea what meat it is - I know it is not beef - but it was yummy!! They had many different flavours, and she chose the super spicy one - I really can't describe the taste; yummy is the only word I can think. It was sweet, and spicy and hot and.... yummy.

We decided that we will definitely go back to that pasar malam one day, with empty stomachs and buy all the fried stuff and junk food and just walk around browsing.
Soon.
Maybe in a couple of weeks.

Anyway, right now, I am sleepy.
Sleepier than yesterday, which is weird, cos I was postcall yesterday.

Anyway, tomorrow is my last day in Paeds Ipoh as a Houseman.
I am on leave from Thursday onwards.
I am supposed to start Orthopedics on the 9th, but have taken a few days leave and am going to start on the 13th.
Long leave...I can't wait!!
Now, time to sleep..good night! Sweet dreams everyone!

It's a very empty, unpurposeful post, I know.
But I am sleepy, so I am forgiven.
And I really wanted to share my experience.
So, it's OK. :P
