Penang ROCKS!!!!!!

I recently made a trip to Penang for a course. I drove there after work on Friday and drove back to Ipoh on Monday morning. I was really lucky as Monday was a public holiday for Perak (It was Perak Sultan’s birthday). I was terrified before I started my driving journey because i never drive to there before! Luckily there is only one highway in Malaysia and it is extremely easy to follow the signboard to your destination. The problems only arise when u entered the town or city because by then you have to find the address which is a real problem to me because i have negative threshold level of route. And it was proven when i took 1 hour to find Xiao Ting house whereas it only need 5-10 minutes to reach there from the hotel. Suck!

Well never mind about the route thing, most importantly is i had fun over there. Xiao Ting is really nice. She brought me to beautiful places and with nice food. Hmm...actually we just went to Batu Feringgi and Guyney. Oh not forgetting New Land street.

New Land Street is famous of its food. It is a street with many hawker stalls and you can get any food you want there. We had grill seafood, char kuey teow, rojak and si-go-th’ng. My favourite is si-go-th’ng. They named it si-go-th’ng because myth said there were 4 types of fuits in it but when i ate it , there are more than 4 fruits. I just love the tong sui taste it got. The grill seafood also nice but i had diarrhoea the next day. I thought it was too spicy. Then Xiao Ting brought me around on how to go to her house from the hotel which i thought is no point because i won’t be able to remember it anyway. I only can recognise the route if i use the same route for a week.

The next day, after the course, Xiao Ting brought me to Batu Feringgi beach. It was lovely! We get to see sun set. It was awesome. We saw people walking around, with their own families, jet-skiing, banana-boating, surfing, riding horse.... i was walking around hoping to see my footsteps everywhere but washed away by the wave too soon. I really hoped Mr Ang was there, holding my hand, speechless, watching the sunset together. Baby i miss you.

Below shows some of the food we had. Xiao Ting and i both love fried koey teow

Portuguese grill sting ray & lala.

Rojak. It looked tastier than its taste! No good at all!

Fried kuey teow at new land.

Fried kuey teow again at Gurney

Penang asam laksa. Penang makes the best asam laksa!

This was puyuh egg at the lok lok stall. It is Xiao Ting's favourite though she knows tha one puyuh egg=3 chicken egg.

The lok lok stall

We saw a statue guy at the Gurney drive. He was in silver color. Silver pants, silver shirt, silver glass, silver hat, silver everything! Apparently he only do this posture. I went behind him to take a photo of him. I was so scared that he would turn around and hug me! He did moved, he raise up his hand and did a thumb-up. He replied your welcome when i said thank you. haha..

Penang trip was one of the most awesome trip i had! YAY!!

Back to KL Routine

As known by everyone who knows me, coming to work in Ipoh was not granted by my beloved mum and Mr Ang. In the end, Mr Ang agreed to let me work here as long as we can meet up at least once in fortnight. I was so happy and promised him i will do so in the future. Well, it is easier said than done. I managed to practice that in the first place, but with our own schedule and my 6-days working period, the time for us spent together was quite limited. You see, i have to work from 9am to 6pm from Monday to Friday. On Saturday, i need to work from 9am to 4pm. So, i can only go back on Saturday afternoon after 4pm and have to come back again on Sunday night.

Every time when it is time for me to go back Ipoh from KL, i am quite reluctant. Luckily for this year, most of the public holidays fall on Monday, thus i can straightaway continue my holiday from Sunday; at least, i have another friend, Ummi who work here. Thus at least i have someone else to play with; most importantly, Mr Ang does not grumble so much about my working schedule. Well sometimes he still has a lot to say about it.
Scenery from Gurney sea side on one morning.

Everything about my working place right now is so damn good but the location! I love to work here. I am so lucky the doctors here are very nice. They are willing to teach and will never let me miss any learning opportunity. Thank God for giving a chance to work here. To all the 3 doctors, i thank you very much. Not to miss, Sis Chow who is willing to explain every single bit of question mark in my mind.

This is the scenery picture i took on the way to Penang. I was driving at that moment. Very relaxing moment. Just want to share with everyone.

Grey's Anatomy

Today is a happy day for me. I was given permission to observe a cesarean surgery by Dr Nagara. I felt like i am in Grey's Anatomy. At first I change into OT dress. They are a pair of trousers and a top in blue color. Then i put on the OT cap and mask. I actually wanna take a photo of myself in the OT outfit but they said it is confidential, so no photo taking is allowed. But then, i get myself some souvenirs, the cap and the mask. Actually those are disposable. Who cares, this is my first time in OT with a real surgery going on and i love it! Although i was asked to stand at a corner and not to touch anything in GREEN color because green means sterilized and my hands were not sterilized. I was told no need to scrub-up.

I always thought that you just need to be stitched once in a surgery. I was wrong! At least 3 stitches are needed. First the uterus, then the fat and muscle layers, and finally the skin layer. No wonder after so many years of surgery, one will still feel the pain due to adhesions. That is why, surgery is the last resort in any situation. Doctors don't simply do surgeries. I think i will have normal vagina delivery in the future if everything goes smooth. hehe..I don't want my lower abdomen to be cut open for no reason, with the doctor pulling and stretching my skin.

Oh, did i mention that the mother on c-section was actually sedated only? and not under GA? Imagine, you are paralyzed half body from the waist and hearing the doctors operating and burning your body at the same time. Urghh...
(PS: I actually wanna cut and paste my face to replace Sandra Oh's face, but i don't know how to do it. F**k!)

Feelings

I feel kind of low these few days. I have been thinking of doing lots of stuff,

• learning to dance
• tidy and decorate the room that i am staying now
• organizing my stuff, laptop, accessories
  
• memorize the songs that i like so that i can sing them in the car whenever i hear them
• organizing my patients list

but i have not had any of those things done. I am so lazy now. I just want to drown myself in "Step Up" and "She's The Man". You see, lately i am so obsessed of Channing Tatum. A very handsome actor with great body. He is so cool in Step up.
However, he is married! To the leading actress in the movie itself- Jenna Dewan. Well, they are quite a perfect couple.

Hmm, lets see, besides watching those 2 movies nonstop, what else i've been doing lately? After back from work, i'll normally have my dinner and watch movies. I am run out of any new movies to watch. Wanna get "Marley and Me" and "He's just not that into you". Heard that these 2 movies are real good. I know, romance movies. Yeah i am so into romance movies lately, any recommendation, anyone? Gonna get all those movies later when i go to Penang for a course. Yay! I wanna get Grey's Anatomy, House, bla bla.. lots more.

I am also been reading Karen Cheng’s blog lately. Reading it give me some kind of feelings. I feel like reading a story book and it slowly invading my life. I feel like her children ( Sean and Callum) are just around me. I feel like i just talked to them a minute ago. Yeah, i feel they are all happening around me. Well, normally, i don’t have these feelings. I think my hormones are doing their work now. I have a lot of feelings inside of me.

Games

I love playing computer games. I like Yahoo games, miniclips games, popcap games, etc, etc...

It doesn't need a smart game to satisfy me. I just want a simple, easy and silly game to make me happy. Sometimes, i'll play the same game over and over again. The game and i understand each other, just click the mouse, no talking, no communication, no fuss, no preparing needed, no ordering around.

I can play these games for whole day. When i play them, i feel relax, happy, satisfy, no stress. I always play them during my stress time, ie, my exam time. After playing them, i'll get back to my studies and i'll be better. I miss some of the games that i used to play. I'll try to find them whenever i have the chance.

Computer games and i share a lot of time together.

Yes, it's the same between me and games. Jia,u just wun understand.
