encore, c'est le roi soleil

extracts from the musical theater. not the best extractions id say. this doesnt do justice to the mesmerizing performances of the spectacle

TAG-of-war

exam is over.. well provided i won't be called for viva.
but for now, yeah it's over. both ENT and Ophthalmology OSCE were pretty scuked actually. heheh. it was fun doin the ophthal OSCE, even though my case presentation was hopelessly a blunder. aiyoo pakcik, i asked specifically whether your chief complaint was blur vision or visual loss. n u kept repeating it was blurring of vision. duh. u made the whole thing went haywire you know. xpe lah pakcik. u r very nice anyway. the two examiners ( from ministry of health) kept smirking n even bluntly laughed at my stupid irrelevant answers. chiss.

i wasn't called for ophthal oral. which means, i am neither at the borderline nor (very much expectedly) a likely candidate for a first class honours. whatever, i just hope i am not among the failures.
ENT.. ntah bile nak kuar oral list. n seriously, i am more concerned of my ENT exam perfomance than of the Ophthalmology. soalan OSCE seme xde kene mngene ngan mnde routinely belajar ke?? horor lah. of all things vocal cord papillomatosis y kuar, cis lagi. tanye la mnde common kat malaysia. nasopharyngeal ca contoh nye. ni thyroid ca mnde syllabus surgery jugak y kuar.double chis-es. sorry ye guys. just nak melepaskn geram. im sure u pretty much have no idea what i was merepek-ing about. neither do i actually haha.

okeh, i've been tagged by my two friends ( miey comel ngn Jhaz the traveller) to list down six weird stuff about me. Or was it 6 things about me that could confirm i am a weirdo? doesn't matter, i am a relevant subject either way.

1) i am not a fruit eater

dont ask me what fruit i dont eat. instead, ask the opposite q. trust me, u'll be saving a significantly a lot of time with the latter q. durian is my arch enemy. so, if any of u baru lepas makan durian, duk jauh jauh n please please dont touch me ok. i really cant stand it.

2) i can be a real selekeh vague-looking ala betty la feya at times and a real bergaya to the bit sylo chic the other. tak lah up to the bon chic bon genre league, tp on my level of vogue looking definition, cukup bergaya da la kot ( abis la kene condemn ngan ilyasak pas ni- pengkritik tetap of my daily outfit) hahahah. well...i sort of have a cycle on this u c ;p

3) i often have a very different understanding and concept compared to my fellow colleagues' , on the exact same things that we study on.

4) i prefer to shop alone. coz i usually dont like to do the waiting part. u see, i have to complete the 'tawaf' of the mall. hehe. the exception would be shopping with my sweetheart la kot, coz i love buying things for him( ...or teman him to buy things most of the time;p;p). but there's a different between meeting frens at a mall for 'meeting or entertainment sake' and shopping-spree purpose ok. i love doing the former.

5) i love driving. n with that come speeding. is that weird? ntah lah.

6) day dreaming is my routine part time job. go figure .

err i am supposed to tag people. but i dont know who else to tag. my cheri nak ke? hehe. kalau sudi wat la k;)) or else,this tagging game ends here pour moi :)

sepatah kate farid vogue ; daaaaaahhhhhh ;p

menarik x number tu? hehe .kebetulan time cek, ini numbernye. cant resist to print screen ;))

ophthamology madness

sorry about the technical problem:)

my blog has turned back to normal now. but the address didnt. tensen tul.

went to the eye clinic and ward pagi dan ptg. kiasu x? hahaha

terpakse. tomorrow last day leh assess patients kat spital. after that, any ward or clinic visit will be prohibited. apparently for quarantine purposes. cam pasar raye clinic tu pnuh ngn med student carik mangsa. my first patient of the day was this one wheelchair bound lady with diabetic retinopathy. she was initially reluctant to let me do fundoscopy on her eyes since she couldnt stand anymore glares from the opthalmoscope's lights. thanks to dozens of fellow kiasu med students before me. then while practicing my doc-patient communicating skill with her, without any intention to further pursue my errand, i explained to her why suddenly so many of us crowding the clinics, that the osce exam will be next week and we only got tomorrow left to practice on real patients. and may be, just may be, she was so touched by my pathetically-sweet facial expression (hehe perasan kan? ;p;p) that she actually offered me to look into her fundus(inner eye part). she said something like, ' klu mcm tu, buleh la adik, kena berlatih nak periksa, meh tgk meh' - org mengantuk mintak bantal dapat tilam sekali nampak nye hehehe.

sepetang berdiri dlm bilik doktor tu letih gak la. da la tgh sakit perut.. takpe .. demi Ilmu.

bored

i feel fat, old and trashed


i took the stairs today coz i began to worry of not doing enough exercise ( have i done any?) and i eat too much.hehe
i feel old coz im almost 24
i feel trashed coz i just feel like it

The Sun King

La Troupe du roi soleil : kumpulan Raja matahari

enfin! (finally)
i eventually got to watch LE ROI SOLEIL: the theatre.
it was awesome it was brilliant.
the choreographies were weird but fantastic! and the props were like... wowww!
some of them were very good at singing live actually. very good. manu was a bit inconsistent. he cant really hit the low pitch.
i definitely will watch it again after the exam. and hopefully, this time id be able to understand at least one fifth of the whole conversation;)) but hey, i managed to understand the storyline. that's good enough, what (manglish there:P). the down side though, whoever french guy that produced this dvd should have enclosed English subtitle as well. kuar la dr tempurung, terima hakikat ; French is not a universal language. it's not like they are not aware of the existence of the international fans. i am pretty sure they've noticed.at least, the official forum has.

well anyway..oh Gosh this DVD really reincarnates my roi soleil era. only now i have a much better view of what roi soleil ( the band) is about.n i keep re-listening to mon essentiel, la vie passe n tant qu'on reve encore..over and over again.

Thanks hunn for the DVD. judging from the DVD's presentation, you must have spent quite a significant amount on that. im just so lucky to have someone so loving n considerate like you hehe. ;p;p teruskan amalan baik ni ye :P

gmbr amik pki fon buruk je. so jd cmni la hehe

saya mahu belajar :)

life reflection

it's one of those days where i am really in need to look at, or to listen to something soothing.

Law and Order : House MD edition

For these two weeks ( starting last saturday) we are having a series of crash-course lectures on forensic, legal medicine and ethics given by Prof Dennis Cussack y best. his presence made me miss Earlsfort Terrace a little . this legal forensic part of medicine is pretty interesting actually. i am basically a temporary law student for a fortnight hehe.

as for multidisciplinary rotations, i am currently assigned to ENT ward (ear nose and throat) which is also the last rotation before starting the POPGP rotations (Psychiatric,Obstetric n Gynaecology, Paediatric, General Practice) that is due to begin after THE EXAMS. one paper down, bunches more to go. aduii:(
and this morning, a terminal larynx cancer patient passed away due to carotid blow-up. the carotid artery literally blows up (put 2 or 3 fingers on either side of the neck, feel a pulse? that's ur carotid artery. NB do not occlude both sides simultaneously! kang korg pengsan x pasal2 i kene masuk court :p:p)
can see blood splattered on the bed and the floor. the thing is, the outcome could have been totally the opposite for him, had he not refused surgery when it was still early. if anyone has no choice but to pick up a cancer in his life time (God forbid), Larynx ca should be on the top of his list . Because this cancer is among those with the best prognosis.i.e, survival rate is relatively very long.

i guess you can't just simply say "tawakkal to alallah".Tawakkal comes after your effort remember..

seeing all these cancer patients (nasopahryngeal ca mostly) in the wards reminds me how short life can be, how sudden God can take back lives that He lends us. God's Mercy is the only thing that shelters us from all the tragical things that happen... Illness is one of them.

Jhaz nanti la ye mnde tag tu. heheh

karaoke

ATTACK OF THE TUNELESS FREAKS

HAHAHAHAH I CAN'T AGREE MORE WITH THAT STATEMENT.
Thanx Star World for putting exactly how i feel about these whole singing audition thing into words. FREAK! DELUSION DRIVEN FREAK!

I mean, hell ,i do love singing. very much. BUT I DO MEASURE AND I KNOW MY OWN CAPABILITY. pandai ukur baju sendiri. i realise and pleasantly accept the fact that im just not talented enough.full stop. (not that i want to anyway. never! yarks)

tapi budak budak SAIKO ni, dgn muke x malu dan yakinnya came for audition, with unbelievably high level of arrogance or what they called THE 'self-belief' (yeah right), but sadly with zero talent! and the saddest and the most irritating part is - they didn't realise it! .. or perhaps more realistically, they simply refuse to admit it!! when point-blankly rejected,i cant believe they still wondered why! kambing pun sedap lagi hahah.

but then, looking at the bright side of this madness, I am entertained. yeah freaks, you guys made me laugh so hard. thank you for that.

falseto voices melt my heart. owh..

true loves

i went to a schoolmate's wedding reception earlier this afternoon, whose mom used to be my teacher and whose sister i was pretty close to while in highschool. the most joyous part actually was the opportunity to reunite with the friends i havent met for years (as well as for months, which is applicable to some;p). gossips were buzzing in everyone's ears, while oral diarrheoa created havoc kt kenduri org since everybody got a lot of stuff to tell to everybody.heheh.kecoh meja pompuan tu;p

another friend who is currently studying abroad (germany to be exact) also tied a knot today.so sorry i couldn't attend your wedding. i can't possibly manage to drive all the way to teluk Intan. ke jaya gading tu pun kire betuah la mak nak bagi kete die hehe.

congratulation to you both!:) and for all friends that have already enganged or about to in near future, congratulation too:) may all the engagements end with blissful wedlocks;))

i love weddings. it shows how truthful you are in loving your partner. how you're willing to take the chance to walk the same path hand in hand with the person you love.

semoga Allah mempercepatkn jodoh ku dan rakan rakan ku ;))
and may all the good intentions, efforts and acts towards marriage reciprocated with blessings from Allah S.W.T.... amiin.

....mmm

i've been spending furiously a lot these last two weeks. my savings is decreasing at an exponential rate!! huhu..

so latest news; i ll be movin into a new apartment right after this chinese new year holiday.new housemates and new room. the latter excites me considerably hehe. gonna miss my future ex-housemates ( im confused, you?) though.. juz came back from dining alfresco with the two of them.at the Breeks. sedap seeh. harga pun sodap. (but actually, not bad at all. it's more or less in secret recipe's league i'd say, n yet better taste n larger quantity) - anyway, the stressing part : packing!! and unpacking!!! (barang2 untuk pindah, bukan take away,,po breeks)

juniors are about to crowd the already overcrowded hospital wards soon. cmne nk final year taun depan ni.. berebut patient la nmpaknye:(

ok la. need to revise my ophthalmology ( im rotating kt dept. mata sekarang) for ward teaching tomorrow. my fundoscopy findings (thank God) are improving(finally!). at least now (which is the 3rd week i.e the last week) i've managed to appreciate the location of optic disc , blot haemorrhage, healing scarring n exudates. but the cup disc ratio thing..n yet that's so crucial to know. huhuhuh erghh tension nyee:((




coming soon this march...

houseadder

i have been a hugh laurie fan ever since i first saw HOUSE MD on TV.
A brutally sarcastic , extremely emotionally insensitive but horribly brilliant American doctor, a.k.a a beyond help Vicodin addict. gone case.

i was quite surprise when i learnt sometime later that he is actually a British bloke. i have to say,his American slang.. is a WOW TALLEY-Ho!! for exclamation. (blackadder fan, u know what im talkin about)

then, i came across his name amongst the casting list on the blackadder DVD cover. i bought it straight away.yes i've heard of blackadder series before but had never had any interest to watch it since rumours has it that it was something like the monty python kind of comedy.(n i never really fancy monty python jokes for some reasons). but 'my feeling towards black adder (compared to montypython) is quite the opposite' (pinjam ayat elizabeth bennet to mr 'charming' Darcy in Pride n Prejudice. heheh)

i hardly believe it was hugh at first. his character was soo very different!!

this is DR GREG HOUSE (in HOUSE MD)



and this is GEORGE (in Blackadder)

video sample

video sample
better watch this. it's super duper hillarious!!

very different from house right? house is mean.n i certainly don't want to have someone like him for a boss once i become a doctor soon. but i like his character hell a lot!! i guess that's the benefit of being the one who is 'outside the box' aight? just enjoy the drama. like when u were observing your colleague's love life; the more complicated it gets, the fancier your gossiping will be.hehe. just kiddin.

okeh nak publish n nak tdo (or chatting) ~(^^)~

n oh yeah, i bumped into this clip while searching for the two above. hugh laurie in Friends sitcom speaking in his pure BRITISH accent;)

Little Mosque on the Prairie

i ve watched two episodes of this first ever canada-based Muslim comedy.
my opinion is : if u go easy on it, u'll enjoy the show.
take it too seriously (or even moderately serious) u'd be sooo not at ease afterward.
i guess, most middle eastern n asian muslims ( and the SERIOUS hard core) would view this quite negatively.. since they are not used to living in the minority environment perhaps.
but on the other hand the western Muslims + the flexible hardcore might see this as a milestone in their struggle to bridge Islam and the west. i mean, if u want the non Muslims to watch the show( which is aimed for clarifying all the misconceptions and prejudices against Muslims and their religion), u ve got to some points, show that you can blend in their way of life.

there are a lot of wrongdoings in that show i guess. something that'd make u say.. 'err wait a minute.that's not the way it's supposed to be..' . but hey loose up uptight-ers . u cant expect everyone to have it your way all the time aight?at least it is much better than those malay dramas with disco scenes, body hugging tubes and mini skirts. at least this one IS Islamic. after all, u surely don't expect them (the western non-Muslims) to swallow the whole bucket of KFC fried chickens in one go, do you?let them eat the cheesy wedges first, have some ideas of what it's all about, only then should u give them the dinner plate and the drink. and let them finish the bucket barrel at home so that they can digest whatever they've eaten before calmly and accordingly:)


the KFC metaphor must have been due to post-baling syndrome hehe.

The 3 Bs

i passed by this banner in front of a very famous (and historical) school in Penang on my way to Queensbay mall this afternoon ;

kami warga sekolah XXX
mengucapkan syabas diatas kejayaan anda
terpilih memasuki ke sekolah ini

Has the grammar of malay language evolved so much since i left school? even if you can't tell specifically what's wrong with that sentence, u've got to have noticed how weird it sounds. Unless my mind plays some funny trick on me, i am pretty sure the welcome-to-our-skool greeting should have been written like this ;

kami warga sekolah (y agak famous dlm sejarah sekolah malaysia)
mengucapkan syabas ATAS kejayaan anda
terpilih memasuki sekolah ini

right? right? i found it very unacceptable and disturbing that this sort of grammar-related problems can happen in school. n what more embarassing, they hang it on the school's main gate. xde cikgu BM apa sekolah tu. x pun mmg loklak.
The school is located beside a main road. a highly congested one, at certain time. so people who stuck in the long-waiting traffic jam, will inevitably look around and would unfortunately read that pathetic banner.
i feel like tearing the banner into two you know. (yo yo je heh)

Bahasa Budaya Bangsa

cheewah ..:p :P

Baling was superb so far. done lotsa stuff there already ; jacuzzi-ying at the hot spring at nite, jungle tracking at a leech-rich rural village,meeting the local communities (who are so keen to have us around) and will be going to one of its famous waterfalls next week hihi. our research are still on hold though , coz they still couldn't manage to give us the data that we need work on. duh.

bye kejap:)

i ll be off to baling in half an hour time. huhuh berdebar lak. ok people. see ya in 3 weks time. pray for my safety (and happiness heheh. buatnye miserable giler duk sane nnt. but i guess it'll be a fun trip.) . pour chou, i ll be missing you a lot. esp with no internet and all huhuh.
off i go then. wslm.

May God bless and purify my heart and his. and may He reward us a long lasting love and happiness and unite us eternally. Ameen.

Once upon a December

Last year and the year before that, i spent winter holidays in France, Nancy in particular.. now i sort of miss it very much knowing that i wont be able to do that again this year :( miss Paris a lot too, i really regret not going to Chateau Versailles actually. xpela, ade rezeki pegi lagi..inshaallah;))

here are some Pics of nancy's most famous tourist attraction place ; Place Stanislas

Shukur

bonjour people!

i was soo cheerful the whole morning because of mon chere . hehe. pasal ape biarla, sekadar me n him y tau. but the bottom line is, im just happy. no news whatsoever. it just simply.. him. je t'aime tres tres fort!! tellement..

ok habis part jiwang :p
Bola-cat... Gosh it was both fun and horrible.
It was fun in term of college spirit and havin- a-good-time kinda feeling. but getting hit by three bullets at the vulnerable parts of your body weren't that fun i'd say. i guess luck must have bypassed me then. i got hit on the ;

1. medio-distal femoral region of the right lower limb(in English, it means sumwhere right above the right knee, slightly to the left ) - still aching n bruising until now;
2. right at the central lower abdomen (English: 1.5 cm below your belly button)on the second game. whatever that was inside my bowel seemed to regurgitate (i.e. upward) then. luckily it didn't.
   
3. and also a close-range shot to my left chin! , which made my face 'berbirat' for awhile, Thank God no bruising!!! :p
   

the latter two hits, went through just slightly beneath my protective vest n mask respectively. what a bad luck. i was actually sieging my enemy on both occasions. already gestured them to surrender but they shot me anyway. but i was brave wasn't i ? hehe. puji diri sendiri lak.

"O Allah, guide n bless my every deed and may with that , put a smile on my parents' and honey's face.. amen."

ils sont musulmans

Robin Van Persie has recently been blessed with a son; named Shaqueel .

p/s this is blog-bliss's hundredth entry (aka crap) :)

Nuclear + War

erm, so today i completed my sub-rotation at the nuclear medicine department ; the coolest department in the whole hospital .. in fact, in the whole Malaysia! (n when i say the coolest, i meant both literally n metaphorically . y, it was freezing cold in there, esp in the meeting room. i felt like i was in Dublin during autumn being in there) . Penang Hospital is the pioneer base for Nuclear Meds in this country.i had the chance to stare n admire the first ever PET scan(positron emission tomography) used, which only started operating fully for the public use by August last year. Nuclear med differs from the other radiological/imaging methods in term of its mechanism n function. basically they inject the person with the radioactive isotopes (which usually probes a certain chemical) , the machine will then detect them and scan it for the doctors to interpret.where as, the non-nuclear imaging, the machines are the ones that transmit the radioactive agents, n try to get through ur body and get printed on the opposite site. while normal CT scan n its colleague mainly used to determine a disease's anatomical position, Nuclear Med imaging focuses more on its functional activity. n i just learnt from the technologist just now malaysia, actually do have a cyclotron centre , bunking underground at the Putrajaya Hospital (was it.. but it was in putrajaya btw). cool!! cyclotron is - i think- some sort of particle accelerator. i know quite vaguely on how it works; -again, i think- the atomic particle basically can emit a really big energy in return. it has something to do with mater-anti mater properties ; n the energy its produce is sooo huge to the extent where, if a very tiny amount mater n the anti mater touches each other ,a real big explosion would occur. For God sake, u physic people know better la. most of my knowledge on this came from Dan Brown's angel n demon anyway ( i have a real passion to go to CERN in Geneva since then hehe)

and oh, we'll be having a paint ball war this weekend.yeehaa :D behold!!my fellow radiology clan, let's crash the the ears noses n throats of the ENT militants, let's crack the eyes of the ophthalmology guerrillas, n let's torture the anesthesiology terrorists so that they endure an unbearable pain n keep em away even from the mildest form of analgesic . hua hua hua.;))
i just hope my skin wouldn't bruise afterwards.. i just heard some horror stuff about the paintball shootings :(
