Today i met the biggest bit** in the ward!

Yup,it's an angry post.Started off the work day noticing the nurses didnt take vital signs.When enquire the patients further,this is their reply:"mereka hanya ambil tekanan sahaja"----First shit of the day.

Then, came a great nurse who came in my cubicle and gave a sarcastic comment and rude remarks on me,who opened and inspected the wound of patient for superficial skin graft planned later evening.-----Second shit of the day

The sister who was busy chit-chatting with patient caught my attention,expressed my dissatisfaction to her.Which again a lot of cover up was done.Her shocking statement:"yeah,saya ada pantau,bila saya takada mereka berani buat.Ada nurse yang telah direject sent ke sini ba.Dan Dr kena faham kita understaff ba,malam-malam 1-2 orang sahaja yang kerja"wow,a great reason for not doing your job,understaff.-----Third shit of the day

Highlight of the day---Talked to Surg houseman to inform an ortho case which was done together with surg team,and for them to review and wether to off CBD(continuos bladder drainage---tube for passing urine,insert into urethra and reaching bladder) as patient haematuria(Patient had extensive ulcer which involed medial thigh and scrotum,afraid CBD was part of surg team management).That particular surg ho was uninterested and rude.I got frustrated and just walked off after the Ho said she will inform their MO to review later,with a "but"---with her rude tone she was saying:"im not sure when will my MO or specialist will come.Just a few seconds later i was hearing her shrill voice,with another man who seems like a MO,came up to me and the MO asked me:"why u were so rude to my HO""We as Dr must speak professionally""It's this how you refer cases?"----Fourth shit of the day.

Later of the day,suddenly one of the nurse inform me that one of the case for emergency wound washout was not posted,but the name on the list.Flipped back the case note,it was again that fellow Ortho Ho who never do work properly,never document properly,and never posted that case.In a frenzy i took the blood,traced it and called GA urgently ,but was rejected because too many pending emergency cases.-----Fifth shit of the day

Lessons learned today:
1)Never fully trust what you see(esp on chart boards),but trust your patient,most of the time they dont lie.

2)Be honest with yourself and others,making excuses for other people incompetencies is just sad.

3)Beware of a combination of pretty Surg Ho(esp tht particular one) and a GUY MO beside her.Because even when you are just doing your job and making sure other people are doing their part,shit will just get thrown to you.Maybe pretty female HO just really get the extra attention(used to have this conversation with Celery).

4)There are people who appear they are doing their work,but actually is the most LAZIEST person in the ward.Even though 4th poster,act like MO,but even a first poster works better.

Conclusion:
One of the shittiest day ever,and tomorrow is going to be a long day(assissting Trauma operation theater)....better vent it all out now and get a good night sleep.

Xmast 2009

REAL ginger bread house...where to start where to start biting...

My waffle with all the flavours (favourite:dark cherry and manggo)

Deserts deserts....ohoho...

Extra pairs of hands behind...

Xmast= great +plenty of food,great choir,great wine,and great company

Xmast= time for celebration,time to get together and time to think about family and friends.

This is how i celebrate Xmast this year....:).HAPPY HOLIDAYS and merry Xmast!

No pain no gain?

Pain: Got bad haircut and bad comments for it(eg:hair eaten by rat?i cut my own hair???)
Gain: Know which shop to avoid in One Borneo,KK,Sabah

Pain: Waiting like ages for MO to do a skeletal traction on a 60 years old lady
Gain: Steinman pin if drilled with a handrill is actually less painful(must use tht next time if got chance)

Pain: Seeing a nail that was nearly cut off being sewn back to the finger
Gain: Avulse the nail,avulse it.........

Pain: Helping out with counter traction of hip dislocation,which obviously i was not cut out for
Gain: Know my limitation,swim more to built on that tiny muscles....-_-"

Pain: Sitting in a cinema with no air condition.
Gain: Watched an excellent,stunning,and brilliant movie (Avatar)which worth the pain of going through 2 and a half hours of stuffy air,urine smelled stairway and spooky parking lot.

Pain: Getting more and more broke with all the "extracuricular" activities
Gain: Getting to know friends better,enjoyed good meals,living my life at least...

Note to self:
1)Seriously,no pain no gain in life is so true.
2)Found some similarities between new friends and old friends,really missed my old friends,and grateful for new friends....

Im not crazy im just a litlle bit unwell...

Went to casualty today and skipped worked due to episodes of purging(from behind of course)...At first was thinking of going to work later,but thinking wanting to go toilet every hour and in search of a "proper" toilet,i would rather just take an EL.Perhaps yesterday i should have never went out...got a weird haircut,ate things which i thought were delicious(but poisoinous),and now losing water out from my body....sooner or later will become dried vegetable...

Life lately is just colourless(pls dun think of colour of the purged..),bored bored bored....Japanese Anime made my days bearable and something to look forward to everyday.Somehow i lost the sense of purpose,and i am not sure why....definately not work related(because most part of ortho are just made complainable)...sigh...someone told me i should get a girlfriend...*cough cough*.I told them i would rather become a monk and knock on wooden fish for the rest of my life...

Hmm...at least they are doing all right :)

Hypocrisy or hippocrates???

SP:Why?Why? why call me after working hours?

HO:Erm,sorry,i have a problem to consult dr

SP:What is it??

HO:Patient blood culture grew MRSA positive,and the culture was on 24/11,i already referred ID team.They suggested to start IV Vanco.

SP:What!Why u wana keep patient in the ward for 6 more weeks for antibiotic?He's on haemodialysis right?Dont do anything for him.Keep quiet!After MRI we can discharge him already.

HO:.....

The Ho was dumbfounded,confused and speechless,plus dissapointed.Is medical care has become fast food type of service where everything must be done fast,complicated cases is just a pure nuisance?Or those who suppose to teach us to become DR are teaching us to see things and do things their way?

Hmm...maybe a lowly Ho,who knows nothing should just keep silent,build a cocoon and just change the colour of the sky when the time comes...Sometimes i wonder,when all the accusation and complaint was made towards HOs,are the more seniors one looked into the mirror lately,or they just see what they want to see...i wonder....

1st bloom

After 1 month plus of waiting,watering and deweeding,finally got my first morning glory...

From 20 over seeds,6 budding small plants,3 eaten by snails,1 having growth delay,2 finally made it up the wall and still growing strong.

I have another pet from Kundasang ,from a shape of a "thumbs up" now suffering from mallet finger already...or does it looked like something else...-_-"

When days are rainy and wet....

It was finally the day to Karambunai beach....but it rained ...so grey and gloommy....wet and bored....my fellow beachmates to be were dissapointed too....and overdampness may cause my cactus to rot...sigh...trapped inside the house with nothing better to do but to bit** about the weather...pathetic...

It's a gloomy day indeed,i just learned that one of my patient back in paeds passed away...maybe that's why it rained...:(

Hopefully the sun will shine brightly next weekend...

A Law Abiding Citizen

Went and watched this movie in 1Borneo today with a bunch of colleagues.It was not my first choice but it turned out to be a great movie.Gerard Butler and Jamie Fox really made the movie stands out among so many movies i watched.Great effects,great details and a movie with a deeper meaning even though filled with gruesome and "explosive" scene.My favourite scene would be the judge,Laura Burch...very unexpected and made me jump from my seat....:)...a movie worth the time

A memorable ending means another hopeful beginning

Finally my paediatric posting came to an end.Today officially start the day as orthopaedic houseman(tagging again that it).

Even though coming to ortho may come as a huge relief ,i still feel that the hard times in paeds really was worth the sweat and tears.Getting to know new people and learning from them really put my view on life in a new perspective.Probably it was the best thing that could happen to start off with paeds.I cant thank all the people in paeds enough for helping and guiding along the way.

Im trying to keep myself in a positive light,yes...orthopaedic would be a very nice posting as interposting between paeds and OBGY....im crossing my fingers...:)

(photo= sunset view outside my room window)

The reason why i fell in love with Sabah...

It's all the nice places Sabah has to offer...went on another one day trip with Pian2 and Zuba.This time is Kundasang...It's a 2 hours drive from Luyang,and seriously the road is not easy to go,up and down plus very winding road.The reward for overcoming such a treacherous drive was worthwhile...and the scenary was as breathtaking as i imagined...

The first stop we made before reaching Kundasang was Pekan Nabalu...it was like a market place which has a nice view over Mt Kinabalu...Here i found out Zuba favourite fruit was pisang...which she eager went to look for soon after we got off the carHave you ever seen such an enormous pineapple???(It was just a fake pineapple,:P)

There is a high tower for shooting photos...Mt Kinabalu,i will conquer you one day...bwahaha...

Next we reached Kundasang after nearly 2 hours of drive...Kundasang War Memorial was our second stop.It was a place to comemorate prisoners of wars from Australia and Britain who died during the "March of Death" from Ranau to Sandakan during Japanese occupation in Malaya.It was a scenic place with gardens and flowers,flowers,flowers...
Tried Hutan Durian also,smaller size and more orangy in colour,not as tasty as the usual durian though.
My little Myvi worked hard to bring us up the hill to the last destination of the day,Desa Dairy Farm.Seriously i really had the feeling of being in New Zealand(the good old Fernleaf milk advertisement)...the rumor was true after all...But the damn thing was my camera's battery died before i got a chance to catch some more photos....-_-"
The cows were visible as specks here...lousy phone camera...sigh....Overall we spent about nearly half a day there,reached home about 4pm in the afternoon...Kundasang...another great place to be...:)

Spontaneous island trip

Finally today i managed to have a one day trip to Pulau Manukan,plus Pulau Memutik and Pulau Sapi....It was such a joyful and relaxing trip with my colleagues Cece and Shorty.Though it was really a spontaneous and last minutes thingy,but it was really enjoyable .

Beaches here in Sabah is definately cleaner and more scenic.But snorkling.. .hmm...Redang is still the best place to be.Tried my first Parasailing...omg,i seriously enjoyed flying in the air,the air blowing softly on my face and the sensation of looking down at the sea from above...it was as i imagined ....There were also plenty of tourists around were a plus.....hehe...

Since the islands are so near to Kota Kinabalu,a half day trip was already enough...hmm...i loved the sun,the sea breeze and everything about the islands....

Hishamudin also visited Jesselton point(harbour to go to the islands) today.His arrival in the evening caused a big fuss at the area.......but the food in Nasi Padang Restaurant caught my attention more...:)

I had a dream

Had a very weird dream this morning...i was again back in my school days,but the funny thing is my classmates were mixed from primary school,secondary school and my um coursemates...it was weird to see them all together...but then it shows how i missed those days ,i rememeber "golum" and "moutain" vividly in my dream,chatting away like they usually do.There was these someone from primary school and secondary school that i have never seen for so long...haha...at least i see them in my dream.....i was woken up with a even weird ending to the dream,there was a killer or lunatic who suddenly went in to the school and trying to defibrillate everyone....it was chaotic and all my classmates were trying to save each other...when i woken up my head was stuff in between my pillows....hmm...asphyxiation gives bad dream i guess...

The Red Tide

That day after a meal of seafood,had vomitting plus diarrhea,though it was red tide(seafood induced).But later i think it was just a pure food poisoning....

reference taken from UMS website

Harmful algal blooms in Malaysia occur only in the South China Sea in the coastal waters of west Sabah, where the causative organism is the dinoflagellate, Pyrodinium bahamense var. compressum.

Blooms occur periodically every year, when the dinoflagellate produces paralytic shellfish toxins (PSP) in shellfish, eventuating symptoms of paralyses and deaths in humans since 1976.

An increase in nutrients (mainly NO3-N and PO4-P) concentrations in the water which occurred after rainfall episodes were found to initiate blooms of Pyrodinium bahamense var. compressum, however continuous rainfall did not sustain the blooms due to a decrease in the salinity of the water.

Monitoring of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSP) is carried out by the Fisheries Department Sabah and is based on shellfish samples collected in the infested area using the mouse-bioassay technique of toxin analyses. Often the detection of the toxin in the shellfish occurs long after the bloom of the dinoflagellate in the plankton. There have also been reports of PSP poisoning occurring even when cell densities of the dinoflagellate are low.

Seafood mania

Today was another turbulant day in ward,just wana get over it and move on...Went back home and had one hour of nap,then woken up by SE,SEAFOOD!!!!!!!!

Suppose to go Tg Aru,but then it rain like cats and dogs....sleeping was a great option for analgesia....

The road to Gayang restaurant was a bit ulu,but then the food awaiting were unimaginable.Cheap and superb in taste.Not to mention the size of the prawns,fishes,and other varieties of seafood that i never seen before.....

Glad all of us enjoyed the meal...and HK is leaving us tomorrow,now our house will have less people....with house as spacious as this sure will double the emptiness...Just wish him all the best....and i am impressed with his courage...

In September

All the things I still remember

Summers never looked the same

Years go by and time just seems to fly

But the memories remain

While driving back after my evening swim,listening this new song-September from Daughtry,brings back tons of memories....though it may in the begining of everything new,looking back all the things that i left behind....cant help but wanting to turn back time...Sometime im just amazed how much had came and passed by,and here i am in another phase of my life....(driving some more...gasp)....Yeah,some moments are worth to relive again,maybe now i should be focusing on creating moments to be relive again...:)

In the middle of September

We still play out in the rain

Nothing to lose but everything to gain

Reflecting now how things could've been

It was worth it in the end

Coming here was such a big and sudden decision, so many obstacles,so many diffculties,and im still standing here with the help and guidance from family,friends,and people i've met and knew here,how fortunate i am.Perhaps this is the best thing that could happen to me all along....i guess i will know it in the end?

Yeah we knew we had to lose this time

But we never knew when, and we never knew how

We would end up where we are

Yeah we knew we had to leave this town

But we never knew when, and we never knew how
Never knew anything

In the process,there always gaining and losing.Learn from mistakes,learn to be more open hearted and positive.Last but not least learn to live a life that i wanted....Nothing is for sure,so why not seize every moments in life ???Life is too short after all isn't it?

I simply loved rooming in...

I love rooming in....a place where plenty of discharges,less workload,less acute problems,more time for to think,plus a super nice MO is a bonus on top of that....Finally i dont have to have palpitation all day long....at least let the myocardium to atrophy a bit....

Today it was the first time i went to forensic lecture,took a long long route,but in the end reach on time,my colleague sure think im super blur....after the lecture today,i accidentally went to town,and accidentally went into Centre Point,(ignoring the fact that some selfish person asked me to came out from there after i took the parking ticket)

Watched a movie filled with death,bought some nice anime dvds'(Bleach of course),bought my reading material of the month....ahh....meaningful day....yes,i must do this often.Mkae good use of the remaining days in Rooming in....

Hot Sunday Afternoon...

It's really a hot sunday afternoon.Manage to drag myself up early in the morning today to bring this tired soul to work....but God is kind to me today,given me less work and early time off to go home....recently felt so empty,i meant empty minded for my blog...dont know where to start or what to write....

Stumble across this photo i took ...cute little masha masha....Days in Oncology was hectic sometimes but my patients are such a joy to be with....Hope they win the battle soon,as my battle is still going on....

Perseverence

Perseverence-one of the value that i kept memorizing when i was still learning taekwando during my secondary schools days. I kept seeing this in my patient's eyes everyday.Especially the mothers,who relentlessly caring for their unwell child,trying to lessen the suffering by doing anything they can.

The sight of intramuscular asparaginase on those chemo days,sometimes are just too much to bear with.It is just a simple jab on the upper outer quadrant on the buttock to some people,but it means so much more to others.

There are still so much to learn ...and so much to see.It is difficult,but i will try my best.

We must seek strength and wisdom in others,so that when other are seeking for answers and hope,we can provide with what they need.Being a doctor is not an easy job....but i must persevere...

Im going home..:)

The day i waited and waited for so long...the day where i finally can spend time with my beloved family....the sense of euphoria is beyond the description of words...i wana go home....:)

Let me just leave behind all those responsability for awhile,until i return and move on with my life,i just need a break,to rest this weary soul....at least for now,to walk a longer journey ahead...

Let me care for myself instead for now,so that i can continue to care for others...

hOMe here i come!!!

Sleep....

Lately im severely lack of sleep.....the sleepiness was so intense that while clerking patient during oncall time i was near to falling asleep....which was funny though as i forgotten what i asked my patient,and forgotten what i was written....(half asleep)

Sleep is so important....at least to me....yeah...guess i better catch up on those lost sleeping hours....i want to sleep.....

Small reminder...for myself...

In the middle of depression , looking down on this bumpy and winding road,i often forget to lift my head and look at the beauty along the way...

I always braced myself for the worst,this time it just exceeded my expectation.Perhaps i was caught off guarded,and all the rejection and negativity sets in...

I must remmeber,how Razmy smile and greeted me every morning in Melur 2.Her few episode of skipping breakfast and hypoglycaemic attack gave me quite a scare though...

I must also remember,how Azwa improved after a simple Acute Gastroenteritis(infection of the bowels),complicated by septic shock secondary to scalp abscess...(systemic review play its vital role here)...a lesson of perserverence in the face of hardship..

No matter how stable a patient can be,always review of patient seriously....(if that day i didnt auscultate the lungs of my patient,i might have missed the pericardial effusion which i thought was a case of pneumonia...)

Last but not least,all those kindness and encouragement my fellow UM mates,senior HO,MOs and specialists gave directly or indirectly(those sarcasm and rough reminder,in a way they meant well)....

I forgot,when half of the globe is filled with darkness,the other side is filled with sunshine....huhu...must always remind myself....

ONE OF THOSE DAYS....

Have you ever had one of those days where everything can just take the wrong turn?

Have you ever had one of those days where you feel so alone in the world?

Have you ever had one of those days where you missed the carefree days ,not a moment to worry about?

Have you ever had one of those days where you just want to run away and hide from all the nonsense the people around had created…?

The frustration and negativity, the sense of fear and never-ending problems/tasks…for a moment I just want it all to stop and give me a break.

For a moment, I regretted I had taken this path. At the peak of the negativity, I really feel like giving up and just run away….

I really do missed a lot of things….i missed the days where I have my family/friends near to me and I can just confide anything, anytime…barrier…separated by distance..

I need a source of strength…in the darkest hour of all….when will I see the light???

I need a place to go to…in the moment of weariness….when will I able to breath???

Sometimes it is just too much, and people and things around you just don’t know when to stop…

Humans are such a complicated being. Studying and learning to practice medicine, made the facts crystal clear. Patient’s life and new colleagues, it further stretches the viewpoint I had on life.
Emotions…what made us humans…I wonder if I have a switch and turn it off for awhile, wouldn’t it be great…

Perhaps this is just a phase I need to get through.
Perhaps by putting more effort and determination, the sun will shine again…Yes, the previous stress during medical school days seems so trivial now. This is the real deal…Depression during housemanship ,now I understand why it can happen…

(Ps: Didn’t meant to whine ,just wanted to vent out all the negativity built up inside for quite awhile ….hoping for an inspiration to type a more positive post next entry….and hoping for everything to turn for the better….)

End of tagging days....hopefully for good...

Today is the last day of tagging,yet somehow i felt sad,tired mixed with a litlle bit of relieve...it's been quite hard for me honestly .Learning to drive may seem like a piece of cake to others but to me it's quite a stressful "endeavor".Fortunately i have PP and Lisa to help me.Gave them the shock of their life when they were in my car...

Getting to know the mo's and specialist also put a strained on me...fulfilling their demands,helping patients tracing results,reviewing patient and blood taking plus all the blood culture...seems like the work will never end....The only thing that made me smile the whole day today was seeing some of the patients in recovery and playing actively....

It is a wishful thinking to have a day just for myself,without having palpitation all day writing review,plans for patients,running up and down for the results,calling other laboratory for test that never seems to be ready....i need a break, some time alone

I hope i get faster ,more precise and detail in doing work....hopefully all these stress reward me in some way in the future.It's a bumpy road,i might as well just get on with it...

Hospital Likas,Paediatric posting...

Yes,my first posting again...(repeating the encounter during first year of clinical)I can't deny that paeds and i have some sort of "attraction".Being posted in Paeds as first poster,add another level of stress aside from memorizing drug doses,management,knowing new people,getting a new house,buying and driving a new car(myVi)......OMG,the stressors are endless......

Today was another hectic day....an acute admission

2 years old Murut child came in with fever,cough and poor feeding for the pass 1 week.He is 10.6 kg,with general appearence of lethargy,dry mucous membrane and reduced skin turgor and capillary refill time...Fluid resuscitation was needed but the line just couldnt be set...the nurse looked at me and said"Doctor cuba la!"...I resorted to callling MO because there's no time to delay...after Dr F tried countless of attempt on peripherally,he then set the line at femoral vein....or else intraosseous....

How frustrated i was today because could find that tiny tiny little vein and the child was in dire need of fluid...I must master the art of taking blood and setting line in children,no matter how unbearble their cries and shouting and kicking and spitting.In the end of the road,regaining their health is the ultimate satisfaction....

Im Leaving On a Jet Plane

All my bags are packed,
I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye...

(Chantal Kreviazuk-Leavin On A Jet Plane)

This song may not reflect the entire picture here and now,but it echoed in my mind long after the song ended,and i was singing it over and over,even though it was slightly pitchy(luckily simon isnt here).. ....Induksi Programe and Bina Tata Negara finally ended....To me,i did learn something ,values that i hold before became even more stronger, broaden my mind to things that i never thought i will see,and spending precious time with fellow friends before we part our ways...

It was truely a fun experince:"planning and modified sketch thousands of time,doing the indonesian bocor2 dance, the "kembara" session...plus nights of pillow talks between guys...(Gasp!!!)it felt so surreal,the process sometimes was slow and agonizing,and now ,im at the comfort of my home....

I can sense the sadness in mum and dad,and to be frank it caught me off guard.Over the years i find it a challenge to understand what they think and feel.This time,it is so obvious...Perhaps they might think they will lose another son,this time to distance and time. My sense of guilt made my determination grow even more stronger.I can't promise to return home so often,i can't promise to call everysingle other day,but i can promise that their sacrifices will not to be put to waste,it is their time to lay back and enjoy life,at least have a relaxed and happy life,and soon i will be home again(If everything goes as planned...pray hard...)

Tomorrow will need an early wake .Bus will depart at 5:15am.Plane will fly off at 12pm...Working life ,new enviroment,new people....everything will starts to unfold....:) And i hope with the hectic life,i still can have some time to log in here...huhu...

A flash of update....beep2!

Just a brief update....Now having my induksi programe in Melaka...initially i was suppose to go to Kuala Berang,Terenganu...but because of the mix up,fortunately im stuck in Melaka....If i was really posted in Terenganu i would not go as i came down with another episode of fever,sore throat and rhinorrhea near to the induksi date...huhu...lucky!!

Ding See jong is my roomate...(everyday being bombarded with his singing.....noise induced deafness....ah....)...The urus-setia is quite laid back and i felt that everything here is just great....The dreadful exam is coming next monday and i have study and understand nothing...oh my god....

With the drama of induksi going on,i cant kept my mind off the fact that i am posted to Sabah(as i reapplied there).Accomodation,transport,and documents are pending to be settle..Im going to fly there on 23rd of June..A foreign place that is filled with excitement and all the unknowns.....im nervous,yet looking forward at the same time....my next chapter of life,is going to begin miles from home...wish me luck .....:)

Bang,ada rokok??

Today was a "beautiful" day,ate an overpriced dumpling as my breakfast,waited 1 hour for a bus to town,got more news about induction( mine always comes late, until now i dont know where i will be posted),and then i was sitting in the bus ,busy sms-ing my friends....

Suddenly a bunch of secondary school kids came in the bus...ah...my secondary school memories...how nostalgic...and really out of the blue,this kid,who the face i didnt even see properly asked me from the seat behind:

"Bang,ada rokok??"

After an involuntary pause,i gave a brief and cold "Takda".He changed his seat far away from me.

In my mind:"What was he thinking???"

2nd/3rd thought in my mind:"Did my outter appearence gave away my long hidden secret that i enjoyed 2 packs of smoke everyday...or my mouth was holding on to a cigarrete that i didnt noticed..."

I hate cigarretes,and dont ask from me ....zzz.....

(At the end , my day was still great because i get to watch 2 movies-Night at The Museum 2,Monster vs Aliens,shopping,baju batik hunting,handphone hunting for my dad....bwahaha...the amount of money i spent also was a shocking amount...)

Waiting for my rocket to come...

Letters had been arriving,with things to do here and there...other than that,days are filled with PS2,Stephen King,and the best comedy series in the history-F.r.i.e.n.d.s

I was told the "induksi" should start around 5th of June,i shouted:"Finally!!!".I just want it to get over soon because then the new journey in life will begin to unfold.Inevitably the feeling of apprehension that was once dominated back in the Final MBBS exam days made it comeback when i think of the working life.... Selene is doing great in Singapore,i wonder will i have the same fate and luxury???(i guess not....)

The title was stolen from Jason Mraz album,but i think it is perfect,because i want to start my life anew,meet new people,live in new enviroment...

Men in tutus...WHAT???

That was my first reaction noticing cqueen's header for her MSN.. my curiosity got the best of me and after another burst of spotaneous unknown origin of trying something new landed me in KL Preforming Art Centers,waiting for Men in Tutus to perform...All thanks to Cqueen's plus plus help for the ticket and the ride to KL PAC...

The performance was actually men,performing ballet....i must clarify,a group of all men performers,taking both males and females role.They performed in their own intrepretation-aka humor,and their hunger for cheers and applaud was tremendous...the whole time,the performers wont leave the stage unless received enough applaud,in a very funny way that is,and they were not shy of showing it....The technical part perhaps Cqueen appreciate it more than me because i know nothing.Previously i thought ballet was only for girls...but actually men play equal role,and this performance show me that men can do equal job compare to their counterparts...haha

People get sceptical,and perhaps have some degree of stigma.But i truely enjoyed the show. Their effort ,courage,and techniques was beyond the description of words.My palms kinda have post-clapping syndrome now...:D.

Things to do before passing away...

I HATE Fish!!

I hate fish,and i hate people who sell fish even more,met a lot of them lately :P

Why dogs bite human sometimes...

Let ur doggy wear their own attire,their natural fur,not yours....:D

Another read-The Secret Garden

Came across Penguin Popular Classic book collection when i was "cruising" in Popular bookstore in Petaling street .Because the books were very cheap( absolute green cover,made from 100% recycled paper,therefore i couldnt stop myself from buying them...haha)

Finish my first book Grimm's Fairytale....didnt really enjoyed the stories within the collection as some i already knew and feel that it was quite boring.Heath Ledger once acted in Brother's Grimm...one of the reason i selected the book.

Moving on to the second book would be The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.The book is reasonably readable with 27 chapters and 270 pages.No heavy-duty reading is required and it can be finished within a few days.For those who likes a bit of adventure,coupled with life lesson to be learn,then one must not missed this book.Though the Yorkshire language in this book may not in favor of my short lived attention,but it added unique color to the story.

The Secret Garden -The story started off with an unfortunate girl named Mary,unloved,became an orphan within a few days,and being forgotten.She found rays of hope when her uncle in England had taken up the responsability to take care of her.She was a child with peculiar qualities and resent human relation.Her life changing events started in her uncle's mansion where she discovered the truth that there were more to life that she never saw before.With new friends,new enviroment and new secret,her true personality began to flourish.Being changed and helping other to change for the better,perhaps is the most concise sentence to summarized this book,and i did really enjoyed reading it...Low price but good reading...:D

Picture taken from www.pesdirect.com

A puppy named Myiok....:D

I am in love...tht fuzzy white+brownish fur,the fetish for licking human palms,that innocent looked when scolded...haha...everything about Myiok is just so...loveable....plus he has a girlfriend who's a Rotwiller,which is twice his size......I think with the charm that he has he can conquer bigger prays that Rotwiller,even humans....:D

His name is a bit peculiar though,im spelling out according to the sound called out by the owner,however,i would rather call him fuzzy wuzzy or some other less peculiar name....hmm....or what d owner meant was Milk???haha....had lots of laughes and warm love with Milk for the past few days in JB...i want my own PUPPY!!!...

The Holiday...

About a week ago i went a trip to Perhentian island with a bunch of my coursemates...It turned out to be one of the most enjoyble trip after all...

It's been awhile since i saw the sea glimmers under the warm sun above...we were travelling so fast like nobody's bussiness....:D

Our place for the next few nights...guess what's the room number?? 93 and 94(translate into cantonese and it will bring out the meaning...:D)

Our eight legged neighbour...it was a bit less than a size of the palm...i think....

I was astonished on how breath taking the beach of Perhentian can be,after about five years it is still as pretty as ever...

We were immersed in deep sea of Perhentian....and we were trying our best to stay afloat??PL even got his google on.

This is the white plastic bag and I....(i didnt noticed the bag at first though...haha....)

Aside from snorkling around Perhentian,we also stopped at Redang island...to search for baby sharks..

All of us became so muscular.wahaah....dream come true...including SC..opps...she's already is...

Im not a bystander...Im in the game...and we won for all the matches we played against a bunch of "juniors"fr KMPP ,and a bunch of workers from Genting...haha.The sight of the flying fishes bursting out from the water to fly along our boat was spectacular by the way....sadly no photos to show.

We met a pair of good-looking Germans-Michael and Kristina,plus in the photo our snorkling guide...:)

Satay treat courtesy of Yin Cheng's parents....all the stuffed faces....

Finally...Lee Shia's house....hehe...wanted to go for a long time already....we helped her with the shop...(erm...not me...i spent the whole time watching National Geography,she subscribed Astro...)

Yin Cheng also brought us to a waterfall...which the name i couldnt really recall...Belata something....It was a great place to swim and picnic!!!It was a nice trip with lots of drama and excitement which will take a few more pages if to write them all down...I enjoyed it very much,THX!!!
