Some people I tell you....

Think as Malaysians! - says our beloved PM ; and not Malays, Chinese or Indians.

Good idea worr.... all of us should applaud that, and you do that too okay? and treat us ALL as MALAYSIANS and not M, C or I. otherwise, all talk-talk only..again.

Ah, and yet again, the issue on hygiene, cleanliness and hospital infections have come to play, raised by the media.

People scrutinize, criticize, blame and hold hospital staff responsible for the contamination, spread of infection and conditions in the hospital. It is to a certain extent that hospitals ought to be cleaner and more stringent to keep the spread of infections at bay. Everyone should know, or be told, that a hospital's environment is a whole new biological field altogether, as opposed to the 'outside' world. It's a congregation of SICK people (or bodies) of various aetiologies (causes). So, what d'ya expect?!?

People do need treatment and to get better. It is unfortunate that you might just end up with something more complicated than what you got admitted for. But some people would only know how to complain.

DO NOT COMPLAIN IF YOU GOT ADMITTED DUE TO:
- driving under influence and crashed
- emphysema/lung cancer/asthma because you smoked 40 cigs a day for the past 30 years
- alcohol abuse of more than 30 units a week and so having a multitude of problems such as cirrhosis
- obesity due to unhealthy diet and sedimentary lifestyle thus having 1001 problems again
- previous heart problems and still smoking, drinking excessively & not watching your diet
- refusal to take medication as advised

YOU HAVE PUT YOURSELF IN THE SITUATION WHERE YOU ASKED TO BE ADMITTED!

The medical education emphasizes a lot on patients these days. Patients should know all these and be more appreciative. What are the benefits if we don't treat you properly?!?! Our salary is fixed by the NHS. Instead, our reputation is at stake if we are not at our best (in case we work privately too). We have so many books and journals and papers written on how we can be better doctors.

But hey, people out there, doctors included, read those few books out on how to be a good patient!!! (reason why doctors have to read: to refute all the nonsense that some authors write in them)

What is going on with the world these days?

Obesity is not the fault of people?!

Smoking is a disease, not addiction?!

A Nobel Prize winner in one of the greatest discoveries of science and medicine is an arrogant fool?

Lawyers suing airline companies for the risk of thrombosis? Yeah, they might be helping these people, but are these people fools? Perhaps a consent form must be signed explaining risks and complications before anything is done, be it - eating at McD, going for a cycle, attending class (for possible uneventful learning)..etc.

Yeah, and guess what, with all these legal formalities going on so commonly, no wonder that everyone wants to be a lawyer!

People are all selfish. The videotape case back home has seen no/little results published in the media. Two possibilities - stagnant case (as many others) or media is 'controlled' or BOTH!

The past..the funny, and sweet past..

This was meant to be another blog's so-called 'theme' song..
but I didn't manage to put it up...and can't do so at the moment.

So here it is.

To you..

This, is for my friends out there...

and especially, to my darling Luke..



:)

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned

I'm glad I got the chance to say That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today and then if you can remember
Keep smilin' keep shinin'
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
And then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember

Keep smilin' keep shinin'
Knowing you can always count on me for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Challenging thyself

What do you think that will challenge your wits and willpower the most?

I think mine would be being a....

VEGETARIAN!!!! *gasp*

it's the 9 emperor gods festival..that's why.

but i'm taking part in cardiff's half marathon this sunday!! how will i survive?!?!?!?

I tried before being a vegetarian back in college. My first trial. But it only lasted 3-4 days. :(

How ah?

Why weekends are against me.

Sunday..is both a day of joy and sorrow. It means that Monday is tomorrow (obviously) and it's back to placements/lectures/clinicals/GP/skills.. But it is also good because it's a rest day.

I always look forward for the weekend. It is tough to go on and on non-stop, more so since there are not many religious breaks in between term time in UK, unlike Malaysia. I do not know when is the Queen's birthday, but 2 years that I've been here, I don't think it's during term time, or if it is, there wasn't a holiday.

I really had look forward to this weekend especially. A long 5 days worth of medical school in a week, you just want more time to spend on yourself, and what you want to do. Sadly, this has not been the case. I am tired when I wake up. I am sad when I go to bed. And during the daytime, I can't do the things I wish I could do, because it involves another person who has his own plans, and I am not in the picture..sadly. I always think that perhaps I should not rely so much on a single person to spend my time with. Because if the other person doesn't seem to be there much of the time, you'll just feel down.
I have also come to realise that these are my ideals. Ideals that would make me happy. Ideals that will bring much joy and happiness to my life. So I should be steadfast in what I believe in, and not be in doubt.

Between 2, sometimes, it's not really a compromise because it's not 100% mutual. It's more like a give and take. The differences are not blended together. They are still present, just that you close an eye, hold your mouth and swallow the bitterness of it all. But what's the point in being bitter? I still believe strongly that there is someone for everyone out there (should they choose to have another in their life) which fits like the key and lock theory for enzymes.

If it is 'right', then things should fit in nicely, like puzzle pieces falling into place.

A Song-Night

GREAT SINGER, GREAT SONG...and i wanna go Dubaiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



And this is for Wei Kang. If there is anyone who can appreciate it, I think it would be him. :) Here's to you kang-kang



Father and Son:

Father
It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

I was once like you are now
and I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

Son
How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again
It's always been the same, same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go

Father
I was once like you are now
and I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

Son
All the times that I cried
keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right, I'd agree
but it's them THEY know not me
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away
I know I have to go

Fantasies...

MMMMmmmmmmmmmm...

an article in theStar today mentioned about sex in the golden years! So, I feel like asking amongst my dear dear friends.. =P


1. Until what age do you want to maintain healthy sex life?

2. Until what age do you think you can maintain a healthy sex life?

3. as doctors, or pharmacists, would you look at >55y/o patients 'one kind' when they come in to get sex-related medication/lubricants/etc?

YOU GOTTA READ THIS WEH!!!

SPICY CHILLI! LONDON FIREFIGHTERS CALLED!

I should be a typist. I should find a job as a typist. Or a note taker for some kinda proceeding. I type a lot of words in a minute. I can type without looking at the keyboard. I can type to see if the words are spelt right or wrong and automatically correct them.

I type a lot of nonsense and I do it good. Efficiently and consistently.

That would be in my CV if I applied for any clerical/typing job. :D
