Day #1 of Paeds posting

Selamat kembali ke sekolah! Hari ni first day of Paediatrics posting. I was not fully prepared for this day actually. Flipped a few pages of my precious Lissauer's Paeds book and went to bed straight away. Haha. My first day started with an introduction lecture, continued with General Overview of what Paeds is all about. Biasalah, kalau lecture ni memang selalu boring. Dok lah bersengkang mata dan mendengar dengan teliti apa yang disampaikan.

Lepas lecture, kita orang disajikan dengan bedside teaching, my favourite way of learning since I get to concentrate more on what is being delivered to me. Yelah. Takkan nak slack sebab consultant akan betul-betul mengadap kita and ajar satu persatu. But actually scary jugaklah sebab selalunya akan kena attack with questions questions questions! There was one question that I managed to answer correctly but the doctor didn't hear me I guess. He was asking the importance of knowing the gender of the child. And I answered hemophilia, which is a sex-linked blood disorder, predominantly in male patients. Tapi doctor tak dengar sebab bila orang sebelah jawab hemophilia, dia kena puji. Tak aci. Tiruuuu jawapan gua. Cis tak guna. Haha.

Sangat suka bedside teaching hari ini. Hope I can remember all the theories that I got today for as long as I live. Okay, gila nerd bunyi dia kan. =P Just for a reminder for myself, there are five major causes of pale in children:

1. Aplastic anemia
2. Hemolytic anemia
3. Iron-deficiency anemia
4. Bleeding
5. Malignancy (eg. leukemia)

I'm not sure if there's more but that's all what I got from today's bedside teaching. The consultant taught us how to make a working diagnosis and rule out the others. The patient that I met today was a 7-year old girl, suffering from ALL (Acute lymphoblastic leukemia) since she was three. Annnddd it turned out that her name is Mira. What a coincidence. The child's father was very co-operative and I was VERY VERY surprised on how VERY well-informed he is about his daughter's condition. He knew all the medical terms and conditions related to his daughter's disease. I was in awe, listening to the things that he knew.

And you know what, that made me realise. You gotta really understand your patients well and in return you should let know the important info that the patients should know. If you don't master the disease, how are you  supposed to do that? 

Okay, that reminds me to go and study now. Bye! 

It has ended..

What has ended? Remember that workshop thingy that I was talking about? Yep that one! To be honest, the workshop was a total boredom. Practical sessions? Yawnssss. I was the only Malaysian in my group so you can figure out the rest. 14 students each group and out of those, I only know two of them, whom I wasn't very close to. I was so so SO lost. Not to mention my Indonesian is broken. Yes, I've been studying here for 4 years already (a year in Melbourne) but I still could not grasp the language. Urgh.

Gonna start my final year soon. I'm so nervous. But excited. Coz you know what final year means? It means I only have one year left and then I'll be going back home to Malaysia for good! Yessss. I can't freaking wait to get outta here. I sound like I hate staying here, don't I? Well, I do, partially. =/

Back in Jakarta

Sudah pulang ke Jakarta. Oh benci. my flight to Jakarta was supposed to be on the 21st but I had to attend some workshop shit on the 19th and 20th. Hari pertama penuh dengan talks which were super boring. Had a pre-test before the sessions and post-test after everything has been delivered to us. They told us that if we fail the workshop, we're gonna have to attend again the following week along with our juniors. What the eff. I'm so not gonna go to that shit ever again. urgh.

Tahun ni tak balik raya LAGI. Oh sedih. Last year tak balik sebab ada night shift and busy kena study. The year before, memang takde cuti coz I was in Melbourne. Raya raya raya. Sekarang dah tak berapa nak bermakna buat saya. Oh tapi kalau dapat raya dengan family, still rasa seronok bukan?

This year's raya gonna suck! Raya without family, without my beloved sweetheart. :( Nasib baik kawan-kawan masih ada di sisi. Thanks girls. Ye, girlfriends je. Hahaha. Okeh, kena study for tomorrow's practical sessions. Combine dengan regular class which means, saya seorang je Malaysian dalam kelompok I. Wahhhh. :( Babai!

Forever 21 adik sayang!

My sister and I ^‿^

Happy 21st Birthday to my dearest sister, Anith! Kamu dah besar rupanya ye. Hehe.. Wish you for never-ending happiness and may this year be your best ever. :) I love you lots my dear xoxo ♥♥♥

Ps. I'm surely gonna miss you. :'(

Shop shop shop till we drop!

Sebenarnya nak update semalam tapi rasa macam malas je. Setiap kali balik dari terawikh, switch on laptop bukak Facebook, stalk orang seperti biasa pastu tak lama kemudian bosan. Bila bosan, tidolah~ Hehe.. Oh well, here goes nothing.

Semalam saya dan adik saya yang comel pergi shopping kat Berjaya Times Square! Tempat paling heaven nak shop sebab kedai banyak dan banyak murah-murah. Sampai sana pukul 11am. Balik dari Times Square pukul 5pm. Mana taknya sengal-sengal kaki ni. =P Adik saya jadi fashion consultant sebab tahukah anda yang saya..
sangatlah tak pandai bershopping sakan? xD

Ye. Itulah kenyataannya sebab bila keluar shopping dengan kawan-kawan, I always ended up being the one without any plastic bags. Orang lain penuh dengan plastic bags kiri kanan dan saya hanya berlenggang mak minah jek. xD Maksud saya di sini shop bajulah~ Dengan adanya fashion consultant yang saya telah hired secara tidak rasmi, saya berjaya telah membeli 7 clothing items. Muahaha~ Gila ke apa. But of course, I don't really mind buying unbranded stuff so booyah~ Ada saya kisah?

Dalam LRT. xD

Adek saya comel :)

Hai, Ini saya. xD

Anit cinta Caesar, si hero chimpanzee. Hik3.

Menunggu wayang

Items yang telah dibeli

In the future, hope saya tak turn into shopaholic la. Nanti kesian la bakal suami saya. Muahaha xD Okeh, gedik je. Bye!

Maafkan bila ku tak sempurna...

Desir pasir di padang tandus

Segersang pemikiran hati

Terkisah ku di antara cinta yang rumit

Bila keyakinanku datang

Kasih bukan sekadar cinta

Pengorbanan cinta yang agung

Ku pertaruhkan

Maafkan bila ku tak sempurna

Cinta ini tak mungkin ku cegah

Ayat-ayat cinta bercerita

Cintaku padamu

Bila bahagia mulai menyentuh

Seakan ku bisa hidup lebih lama

Namun harus ku tinggalkan cinta

Ketika ku bersujud

Bila keyakinanku datang

Kasih bukan sekedar cinta

Pengorbanan cinta yang agung

Ku pertaruhkan

Ketika ku bersujud

Ketika ku bersujud

Brighton Beach, Melbourne, Australia.

Salam Ramadan

Esok dah nak masuk hari ke-5 berpuasa but it's never too late to wish all Muslims Happy Fasting kan. :) Puasa jangan tak puasa. Semalam ayah saya jadi bilal kat surau. So terawikh full lah kan. Hehe.. Ayah saya semangat wohhh. Suara mantap dan kuat. Tapi bunyi cam garang siket. Hik3~

And oh, hari ini saya buat karipap dengan mama saya. Saya cuma kelim je actually. Hehe. Pastu goreng. Sedap wohhh sehingga menjilat jari. Laku kot agak-agaknya kalau jual kat Bazaar Ramadan.

Ignore the slightly blackened parts. They were delicious nevertheless, I'm telling ya!

Okay bye! ◕‿◕
