malas glr rasa mok update blog.
anyways, I'm in ortho now, dealing with fractures, pus and wounds.
the workload's quite light, coz there's only 1 ward and there are like 7 HOs, unlike when I was in Mat 1, alone and having like 30 patients in the ward.
but currently, I still have loaaads to learn, I'm still quite blank. boo hoo

ObGyn - Mukah - Ortho
just got back from a 6-day-break from the hospital life. I went back home~ (but now I'm back again in Miri, so I'm totally sulking =.=)
anyways, end of O&G posting as a houseman in Miri Hospital! can't believe I survived the infamous supposedly worst posting ever...lol. anyways, recalling my times in O&G, it wasn't really that bad (it kinda is, actually :P), I hated the bad CTGs, and all the scary moments during our calls. I hated the every 2 days oncalls, I hated the fact that people wouldn't stop being pregnant or giving births, I hated the blood, liquor and all those stuff. but, along the way, I learnt, I'm always scared of things that I don't know. therefore, I hate being scared and not knowing what to do. so, all those negative feelings came from my own ignorance. soooo.... after a while, I learnt to manage things better and all that, then, I started to accept and sometimes enjoy the challenge.
and the experience with my colleagues...priceless. some gave me headaches, heartaches and killing intentions, but those experience help me build a better me. I learnt to know and manage everything by myself (because I couldn't trust some people), so its kinda fun going solo for a little while. but most of the time, I enjoyed the time working with my other colleagues, I didn't feel like doing a job. Its really fun~!
anyways, then I took my break, and went back to Mukah. its nice to be around my family after such a long stressful posting. and my niece, Aya, is such a cutie, even though most of the times she's really naughty and running around and all that. *sigh* I'm missing them already!
oh, news flash, mukah has its first traffic lights! XD
so yeah, despite the lack of shopping places (which are my energy source, lol), sometimes I enjoy the peace and quietness of Mukah. and I really love being with my family, yes, I'm such a mommy's girl :P
so yeah, tomorrow's I'm gonna start tagging at Orthopaedics posting. I hate changes, I hate the need to adapt to a new surrounding and stuff, but yeah, I'm feeling quite excited to see new stuff and all. I'm having all the mixed feelings, so yeah, I hope this week will be a-okay.

the first time I cut somebody
“I'm Not a Cookie Cutter. I Cut the Cookies. And I'll Cut You.” -goth tyra
anyways, yesterday, I did my first Caesarean section. its a procedure housemen are encouraged to do while they're in ObGyn posting here in Miri Hospital. and of course, I wouldn't want to miss such a huge opportunities as such!
so yeah, yesterday I got my chance, so I did it under supervision of my MO. standing at the surgeon's side of the table, I kinda feel like a star, like the surgery is my first ever performance. I was sooo nervous before the op, and couldnt help thinking of the worst possible things. I know it sounds reaaaally dramatic, but yeah, its my first surgery, so its kinda a big deal for me :P
so yeah, I did it in like 55 minutes, with estimated blood loss of 400cc, which is pretty good for a first timer. and really, much thanks to my MO, Dr. Nazihah, who's really helpful in supervising me.
God, I'm sooo thankful to be given the chance to top-up my knowledge and experience. I so love myself right now. lol

I'm soooo drained!
god, I'm sooo freaking tired. I've been having oncalls for every 2 days since forever. Like, I literally lives in the hospital, I practically had to buy a large size shower gel to last for a month. I had nightmares hearing CTGs and all. though, post calls gave me the vampire look, i could beat edward cullen for the dark eyes and the supposedly cool frown :P
anyways, its just REAALLY unbelievable that I'm going to finish O&G posting (I hope so, my specialist keep on postponing the assessment and its been driving me crazy!)
so yeah, I hope against all hope I'll pass the assessment! well, now I'll have to think about preparing a farewell party and speech~! :P

Langkawi belated update~
so yeah, I just got back from Langkawi~ not really "just", I went to langkawi from 12-16 feb.
we had quite a terrible start, with the Bella Vista hotel receptionist, who said our booking was not valid bla bla bla, and made me and Amy waited for half a day in the lobby for a booking we couldnt cancel, and made us have bitch fits in a few more stupid occasions. and we noticed they treated overseas tourists waaaay better than us. like we're sooo not valuable and all. oh, and there was no irons in the room because they have an ironing room that hotel occupants had to go to, to iron their clothes. whats this? a boarding house or something?? Bella Vista hotel review: big time SUCKS!!
anywaaaays, enough of the bitchiness~
thanks to my BFFs, I had a really good time in Langkawi~ its the company that matters, right?
so yeah, we went to the historical sites (climbed like 600 steps up the Telaga Tujuh waterfall), the cable car and the hanging bridge (which has the awesomest sceneries of all!), went island hopping (parasailing rocks! and of course, the scenic lovely islands), and of course, as tourists, we had the license to shop for souvenirs~ and some duty-free chocs~ oh, I had my first spa experience. I have low pain tolerance, so for me, its quite excruciating at times, but yeah, its kinda cool. summary of our trip (taken from Mel's blog!):
