Survival kit
Just a very very short blog to share with you all what I bring around in my pockets for my work in NICU. As you can see, the 2 symbolic items of medical doctor-stethoscope and white coat are not included, 1st, because most babies have their own stethoscope(ideally la, in reality, not so true) hanging by their cot/incubator, 2nd we are not allowed to wear white coat in NICU (as always)
The daily essentials: punch card, stapler, calculator (sorry la, i don't have I-phone), scissors, plaster (very important), pensss, Frank Shann, ID card, official stamp (thank god, I have pass the period that I have to hand-write my name on every review)
The ultimate daily essential to survive my housemanship: MY BED

Something meaningful
"从今天起，做一个简单的人，踏实务实。不沉溺幻想，不庸人自扰。要快乐，要开朗，要坚韧，要温暖，对人要真诚。要诚恳，要坦然，要慷慨，要宽容，要有平常心。永远对生活充满希望，对于困境与磨难，微笑面对。多看书，看好书。少吃点，吃好点。要有梦想，即使遥远."

Safe journey
Beautiful song, beautiful mv.
"Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors
Oh, and life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby"
The girl I mentioned in previous post, passed away this afternoon. She was so young, 2 years and 6 months old, the sharp knife of short life. When I passed by the cubicle, the grandmother and mother were crying and saying their last prayers for this lovely girl, the grandma called and thanked me. I was taken aback, as I was only involved in the very early stage of her management.
The family had been strong, the grandmother actually told me "God loves my granddaughter more, and I accept it dengan reda, I believe this is the best for her" On the other hand, I was the one who couldn't respond well, I stood as still as a tree and let the words rain down on me.I find it difficult to search for words to console and comfort her. I could only pat her back during her time of grief, and secretly say a little prayer for the girl and family. RIP, DE.

I am hypertensive when you are hypotensive
Today, basically I have been busy taking care of one patient since 7am till 5pm. The little girl looked so fine the day before,she then suddenly developed septic shock during morning round, and required 3 inotropes despite 3 boluses. Called ICU, and to our dismay, there's no available bed, we have no choice but to treat the patient in our paediatric ward. Specialist asked me to stay with the child and monitor her condition.
Reviewed her vital signs and clinical condition almost every 30 minutes, informed MO and specialist regarding the progress ( I was so worried that I might miss important clinical signs. And looking at those lines with inotropes, IV drip maintenance and correction,K fast correction,IV antibiotic made me even nervous! ), ran down to lab to send blood sample for urgent investigations, called and received calls from HSI, traced results, updating the plan from time to time. Now, I can recite her IC and RN forward and backward.
Whenever I passed by the counter in disposable apron or with trolley, my colleagues will throw me sympathetic looks and asked, "why are you so busy?", and some of them were sweet enough to offer help, which I really appreciated. I was grateful that I had learned something new today. All in all, today is definitely a busy but fruitful day =)

Macrographia
Today the specialist and MOs were discussing about the KKK (klinik kanak-kanak) book we gave to patient to be followed up at Paediatric clinic after discharge. One of the specialist commented that we wrote too many trivial things in the book, no wonder we took long long time to complete the book.
Then, the other specialist said we shouldn't write too much, or else the pages will not be enough for future follow-ups. Suddenly, a MO said, "Yalo, like See, the handwriting so big, one admission already used up don't know how many pages..." "Hahahahahaha..."

Hello, I am See
Hello,friends, phew... at last I am free to scribble something here. I have been working for almost 3 weeks, however, I still find it hard to adjust my status from medical student to house officer. I was lucky being posted to Paediatrics department where all the colleagues, MOs and specialists are nice. A gentle start for a 1st poster =)
The first few days of working life were difficult for me, tagged from 7am to 10pm, 25 mins drive from home (I don't complain much about it, as long as I can go back home everyday =p), and blur all the time. I was depressed not because of long working hour, but I felt that I am incompetent most of the time. Even worse when I worked around senior HOs, I was always wondering how can they be so confident or know so much or just so pro?!
I ended up crying at a dilapidated corner of hospital where I thought nobody would have seen me. Mana lah tahu, one of the Paed MO saw me. So, the next day, she approached me after round to ask if I was ok. The other MOs were very nice too, whenever they saw taggers, they will brief us on what we should do/should not do and teach us some basic and important knowledge to survive in this posting.
It's undeniable that I learnt a lot during tagging and done a lot of mistakes (not tracing result, forgetting to endorse medication in drug chart, missing out some points the specialist mentioned, etc) too.
Bad things happened, but good things too. I was thankful that my colleagues were willing to guide me during procedures despite busy ward work. The kind MOs will shower me with "See, have your lunch already? You better go and eat now." "See, you can pass over the case to people-on-call, go to eat or take a bath or do whatever ..." "See, you ok ah, got problem or not?"
I guess I am getting a little more used to my HO life now, and life gets better after off-tag. It's a different world when I can go back home at 5pm and work half day during weekend, the flower smells nicer, the zephyr feels warmer and even the ward seems more welcoming. There's still a long way to go, hope that I can pick-up things faster and do less harm to patient. Wish me luck , people, I definitely need that!

Random moments in life
"Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything"
I fell in love with The Lazy Song the first time I listened to it, the lyrics totally fit my perfect description of days at home. I can do what I want, sleep and wake up at anytime, eat if I feel like eating, wearing oversized tees with messy hair, laze around the sofa, turning the tv on and switching channels, reading novels and blogs, gawking at the pictures of pretty dress...What a life!
With induction letter arrived at my doorstep with ugly handwriting of my address, here ends my lazy life, sigh! I started to appreciate every random moments of my life more, like I am going to lose them anytime.So, I decided I shouldn't live through the days, I told myself to wake up early in the morning to do something good, like reading my favourite book or meditate (haha) , but I always end up waking up at 12 noon or lunch time!
Random picture of the boyfriend and my niece at the porch. This little kid liked to stick with him and smiled at him without reasons (what's she thinking?!). So, she followed us everywhere we went, and cried if she found us not at home when she came back from kindergarten.
I sometimes envy kids. Happy life, simple needs, no worries.

Taste and travel
Ipoh, Perak being a strategic location (which is not too far from either Muar or Penang) with good friend, good food, and good hang-out places, we decided to make it one of our travel destinations during this long holiday.So, we spent 3 days at Ah Hooi's house and embarked on our journey of yummies!
On our way to Ipoh, the boyfriend and I were so hungry that we could eat a whole cow! (And we just realised on the train that we were both wearing polka dots)
We set out on a gastronomic adventure with Ah Hooi, the hospitable host
For most of the gourmets, Ipoh is synonym for Dim Sum
Foh San is the oldest and most famous restaurant for Hong Kong style dim sum in Ipoh
This newly-renovated Foh San was definitely one of the most well-decorated dim sum restaurant

Welcome back
Hello, friends, it has been ages since my last update. During the hiatus, I spent most of my time reading (novels, fashion blogs, mag...), sleeping and, of course travelling! The boyfriend and I went to S'pore for a short trip and we visited each other's home town (guess you already knew, Muar and Penang). This was a mini 3-week vacation since our last trip in mid June.
I always love Penang for its heritage buildings,delicacies and vibrant livng culture. For everything you wish to get in KL, Penang has it all minus the hustle and bustle of big cities.And, this time my favourite hang-out place would be Straits Quay which is set within the waterfront community of Seri Tanjung Penang. I had my saliva drooled over the luxury bungalows there, so beautiful and even the grass and trees looked extraordinarily green!
Straits Quay lighthouse overlooking the marina. You can see the luxury yatch/ sailboats here.
Charlie Brown's cafe, the food sucks and I broke their chair accidentally!
Bistro to offer chilled beer while you overwhelmed by the breathtaking views (or get dehydrated under scorching sun)

You-tubing
I am getting nocturnal lately, because this is when I can spend the time on my own. Spending the whole night listening to songs sang by singers who get famous on You tube, oh good life! This 11 year-old Maddi Jane is totally insane, little girl with big voice (plus sweet smile). Try you-tube her =)
Magazined
Sometimes,I wonder why people are willing to spend double the price of a local magazine to buy a magazine published by other countries. Most of the time, the fashion items featured in the magazine are not available in Malaysia. I hate the you-like-the thing-and- it's- totally-affordable-but-you-can't-get-it-here feeling. However,after reading 2 copies of UK Glamour, now, I understand ( thank god, I bought that 2 copies =p). The contents are way way better than local's. They have better fashion ideas, great articles and less ads!! Just one copy can keep me occupied for at least 1- 2 hours, this is not going to happen if I were to read a local magazine. Malaysian magazines can have the same cover, same name, but definitely not the same contents. I am so going to ditch classifieds-ish CLEO, Female, Her world, Women Weekly, etc (but not Glam and Bazaar, at least they have great photos). So, get yourself a UK/AUS/US fashion magazine today!

Jay Chou in action
Last tuesday, the boyfriend and I went to KL Sentral for train. In a hurry, we saw bright lights and crowd near Mc Donald's. Despite the fact that we were about to miss our train, we joined the crowd and kepo-ing to see what's happening (typical Malaysian =p). To our surprise, the "Against War" filming crew was shooting a scene at KTM station. And the next thing we did (almost immediately) was looking for dashing Nicholas Tse and Jay Chou. Sadly, no trace of them was found. So, we proceeded to train passenger waiting area.
While waiting for the train, we got the chance to see the scene being shot. One botak man first came into view, followed by a taller man in blue shirt (The boyfriend could recognise the botak man but we have no idea who's the guy in blue shirt) carrying a school girl (the famous young Malaysian actress), and that's all. We were quite disappointed for not able to catch a glance at either Jay or Nicholas.
The next day, after reading the newspaper, I shouted "OMG" incessantly. The man in blue was actually the famous Taiwanese singer/musician/actor we were looking for -JAY CHOU!!! So it's true that the old adage which goes 'Appreciate and celebrate what is right in front of you", hahaha.
