Happy Mothers' Day!
My family's Mothers' Day celebration is postpone to next weekend. :)
My mum is so pretty!
Thank you for having us, whether you like it or not. :)
Love you mum!
Life goes on!
My new hair. I love. But cost me a bomb. Now I can wake up in the middle of the night during oncalls still looking fabulous. :) On top of the new image it gives me, it's so ridiculously manageable.
Mostly good reviews. Dad said it makes my nose look bigger, but more modern. DAD! And the nose is from you!
Muahahaha!!!
In chirpy mood. Just 1 more week of paeds. And I'm making a short trip home next week before starting my new posting! So happy!!!
Bowel-prepping myself for laksa, kueh chap, chau chai hunam & kolo mee!
Enjoying myself in KK. Eating, shopping, occasional swim (but suspended at the moment because of my hair) and now quite determine to pick up squash again.
Work is ok at this juncture because I'm more familiar with paeds. Kids and mothers like me for some reason unknown to me.
Great and fun new acquintances! I'm laughing all the time! I just realized that there's just so much humour in my field. :)
Taken in one of the many afternoon department CMEs...
What HOs do best...

EOD calls
I have 11 freaking calls this month. I'm so tired that after 4 consequetive EOD calls, I can seriously see myself aged in the mirror.

Countdown: 39 days
Paul and Dida dear, my next posting is Obstetrics & Gynaecology. Not my fav, but I like the system here because 2-3 HOs do calls together in the same ward on same day, unlike in Paeds, so it's not too dull. And we get to order McD from the nearby drive-thru. They would only send if we order minimum of RM30/-.
HOs are scapegoats for anything wrong in this department, we get several weekends free throughout our 4-month posting. So nice.
The setback, my housemate who's currently in O&G told was that I would thoroughly hate pregnant women.
Don't care. Not that I like neonates that much anyways.
Have to stay up tonight to prepare for my big presentation tomorrow. So dumb.
I want to eat salmon sushi. Tomorrow la.

Some updates
My broadband was down for 2 miserable weeks. Got it back today. Apparently something wrong with the port, so some techician came to fix it.
Sorry guys for not replying any email and comments.
Last week my car died in the middle of the busiest road in KK on a Friday evening. I was post-call and extremely tired from EOD calls that whole week. Needlees to say I caused the traffic jam to be more jammed that day. Had to get a tow truck to pull my poor car to the garage.
But I got to ride in a tow truck, hence the pic. :)
My call list for this month. Looks better than last month's. So happy. No EODs.
Have to give a big presentation this Thurs for the whole department. Something on beta-thalassaemia major. No internet for the last 2 weeks was hell. So spent the whole day online for resources.
Have to get to the hospital early tomorrow. Have to escort an infant to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for MRI. Leaving Likas Hospital at 7am.
Countdown to finishing paediatric posting: 43 days.

Back in action.
Long hiatus.
My break home was too short. :( Miss my family.
This weekend I'm having no calls! Can you believe that?! I've been having weekend calls for the last 3 months, except for the one week that I went back to Kuching.
So deliriously and dizzily happy.
That I spent a bomb on an iPod Nano. It's gorgeous! Despite all the vibrant colour choices, I settled for the classy-looking white one and bought a leather pouch to complete the classy look.
I can't be looking like teenager kan?
Regreted initially for burning my 2 months savings, but after my very succesful blood-taking from 3 neonates this morning, I was convinced that the iPod was a good thing.
Don't ask me how I made that connection. I was listening to Eric Clapton I think when I the 3 babies' blood effortlessly. :)
Which meant I could go home around 10.30am this morning!
Did laundry, washed my bathroom, cleaned my room a little, and then spent the whole day downloading songs! Now I'm hooked! Didn't even study for my upcoming exam on Friday!
Bad. Bad.
LimeWire is a pretty cool file sharing programme.
Having a cup of coffee now. Intend to study a little tonight.
Will be oncall tomorrow (Monday), Wednesday and Sunday this week. :(
My only motivation for my oncalls now is to earn the extra $$$ to buy new toys.
Thinking of getting a new camera. :)
Whatever for now that I rarely take pictures?
Maybe a new laptop since I'm online most of the time when I'm not working.
Good night!

No AGE can stop me from enjoying my holiday
I'm back in beautiful and clean Kuching!
I almost didn't make it back Saturday morning. Had the worst bout of diarrhoea Friday night which drained (literally) the life out of me.
That's why I hate paeds. I was warned to be ready for frequent URTIs (Upper Respiratory Tract Infections) and AGEs (Acute Gastroenteritis). I was boasting to my other colleagues just 2 days before my diarrhoea that I was immuned as I was healthy even after 5 weeks of paeds.
So stupid to speak so soon.
But the worst is over. I had my 1st bowl of Kuching laksa this morning, only after the 3rd morning home. I was bedbound the first 2 days and couldn't keep any food down.
Mum was even hesistant to let me eat laksa this morning, but I argued my way out of it. ")
Don't care.

A break
Took a break this afternoon and visited Tuaran with Wilhma, a district town some 40mins from KK. Was there a couple of years back during my very first trip to Sabah. We dropped by the Tuaran Crocodile Farm on the way back. Fed some ostriches in the farm. More pics later. Have to sleep early. I'm oncall again tomorrow. Stupid NICU call again. Argh.
Good news is: I'M GOING BACK TO KUCHING THIS SATURDAY! FOR 1 WHOLE WEEK!

Happy Piggy Year!
Was oncall CNY eve, so today post-call. A little too tired to write. So here are some nice shots I took over the week.
Happy New Year! Piggies are cute. :)
CNY fair at Gaya Street... can get all sort of CNY goodies here.
Gorgeous lanterns!
Visited Wilhma (2nd from left) for CNY...
The night market...
A view of Queen (short, affectionate name we give the hospital) from my car... miss her so much!
I live in Penampang.
A dashing-looking cat at Lintas.

Paitan
I made the best decision in months by volunteering to go for a relief mission in Paitan, some 6hours journey from KK last Friday.
Not only I got the change of environment that I strived for initially, but I also felt so alive after months of what I would describe as aimlessness and mundanity after I started working.
There's more to life than waking up early and just working brainlessly. Yeah, there's more to life than being a houseman.
Enjoy the pictures and wish me luck. I'm oncall in Neonatal ICU tomorrow. So freaking scared. All those reptilian-like babies.
