Pity "Xiao Bai"
This is what happened to my car, "xiao bai" after leaving him (I purposely address "xiao bai" as "him" to show how much I love my car) at home for 3 days.
my lovely uncle and good neighbor were curious how the thing was stuck in there?
Definitely a damage on my car. I haven't examined the bottom part, I don't want to see either. Well, there's NO ugly scratch after I bought it for 1 year! The first crack.Since there's no apology, I think, I deserve to be angry, to be mad and to be misbehave after crying for the whole night! My uncle and neighbor use the jack to lift him up only to get the fucking steel out from my car.
I don't know who did this and how it happened? and I definitely DON'T WANT to know anymore! Not NOW, NOT IN THE FUTURE!
He is not a luxury car but it doesn't mean that he should be treated like the above! He may look dull and cheap, but he is my "precious", I bought it with my own money, for God sake! My own savings after getting this scholarship, that MLNG biasiswa since Form 1, PTPTN, bonus from company and ang pao!

beautiful trek left behind after saving "Xiao Bai". Well, this is the second time. It was stuck in the mud on the day I went back Bintulu. My good neighbor saved him once. That's why I parked it at the proper place or no one will look after him when Dan and I are away.
"Xiao Bai" I will NEVER let this happen to you again!Well, this incident will come to the end by the time I finish this blog. I might be very angry at this moment, but I never hold a grudge. I will take it as another unlucky day I have. Finally, I hope everything goes fine for me this year. For "Xiao Bai", maybe I will bring you for polishing after I cash my salary as a sincere apology for leaving you behind.
Day off . Bleeding session
I couldn't remember when was the last time I saw the sun? The non-stop heavy rain finally caused flood in Kuching (includes the shortcut to my working place).
I decided to take the main road, which is quite congested during daytime, to my lab. However, my senior lab assistant (he is the only who has the lab keys) called when I was stuck in the heavy traffic...
"hey, just want to let you know that I can't go to lab today because of the flood. So.... take a day off. bye bye!"
"......."
I was a bit mad as he only made the call when I stuck in the traffic jam. Never mind, I can bring my car for service. Something wrong with the hand brake since yesterday. The warning light is blinking even though I released the brake.
"Oh, xiao bai, you're only 1 year old, don't scared me."After staying an hour at the service center, I finally get my car's hand brake fixed and also claim the rear alarm back. I never know the rear alarm was not installed in my car until Daniel bought his Viva.
Hmm... tomorrow is Tuesday, the farm might send in chicks for tests again. I am still not good in taking blood. Out of ten, there will be two or three killed in bleeding session. The chick struggles hard and causes the needle penetrate through its heart and then its liver or lung.
I remembered the first day I do blood collection, it was a mess. I learn the way the senior assistant holding the chicks and slowly I penetrate the needle into the pity little chick's heart to get the blood.

The chick was 'screaming' in pain but after a while it stopped...
"What happen to the chick?"
"Oh, it's dead!"
"DEAD?!!" (For the first time in my life, I killed a Chick! I was holding a dead chick!) "Anyway, is the blood enough for ELISA?"
chicks, your sacrifice is to save your family, the other thousand of siblings!"Let's see...Alamak! Your syringe should be parallel with the chick's neck not holding it at 90 degrees!! I think you have caused damage on the other organ. hmm...1ml..can la..." (Well, he is right. He showed me the large bruise on the liver after dissecting.)
Soon after the bleeding session, I have to kill and dissect the chosen chicks in order to take their organs for bacterial examination.
"Nah, sulin, break the chick's neck using the scissors. You've to do it fast and break the neck completely or the chicks will suffer. . ."
I did not do it well. After seeing me spending an hour to kill and dissect the first chick, he spoke to me again...
"Okay la, this time I help you to do. If not, you will still be standing here until tomorrow morning."

Dissecting is not difficult for me, but killing an innocent chick is tough.
Two weeks ago, I was asked to take the goat blood. Sigh...I still cannot handle the little chick well, how can I take the blood from a huge goat?
"Before we start, do you know what is the brick-like thing?"
"Ha!! Are you serious? (Of course I'm not.) It's SALT (sodium chloride) which is essential in goat's diet."
We had a hard time taking blood from the male goat. Since the female is quiet, we only took the female's blood. (haha...) Next time, we have to take the blood from the male by hook or by crook, or the female will die due to anemia.
Day off for post call HOs
The Star reported:
Trainee doctors will now get a day off after carrying out their 24-hour on-call duty.
Trainee doctors will now get a day off after carrying out their 24-hour on-call duty.
Health Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said the directive will take effect immediately.
He said it applies only to housemen on active call and at the hospital the entire time.
“We will not let these trainee doctors be overworked. We will look into their welfare,” he told reporters yesterday after visiting the Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital.
How about you all? did anyone of you get post call off?
Penguin in Kuching
Penguin moved to Kuching on 1 November. Her parents were so sad as she always bought them food and was the noisiest daughter at home. When I was home, everyone complained me for being talkative. Now, they are going to miss my voice! Muahaha...
My parents called me the second day I moved in Kuching. The first thing they told me was, “Ah mei, Ah mei, our house now is very quiet. Your brothers all went out tonight, leave two of us at home. No one talk to us. We are so lonely.”
Oi oi... I am alone at home everyday when the rest going out around 6 am and only coming back around 6pm. Daniel got 7 calls this month!! Anyway, Thanks God, yesterday was the last call.
The third day my sister-in-law called. She was worried that bull will bully me. Aiyo, he is good. He even doesn’t have time to look at me, how can he bully me? The first thing he does everyday after work is watching movie or surfing net. Don’t worry, I am an adult already. Give me a chance to learn so that I can be more mature!
My mum was the one who wash, dry & fold my clothes. Now, I have to do everything by myself. My mum doesn’t like us to interfere with her daily errands. Thus, both of my sisters-in-law do not have to do house chores.
Well, I forgot to put in detergents the first time I washed my clothes. I overshot the house twice. When I was busy looking for the house, Daniel was giggling at the passenger seat. Well, I only realized that I overshoot when he waved and said, “bye bye”, to the house! (>_<) He purposely took two-days off helping me to familiarize with the routes in Kuching. Well, we visited the Fish Muzium. I was attracted by a statue in a park. Later only found out in Sarawak Muzium that, the statue was to attract the prey to walk into the trap, which is set next to the statue. Hmmm...if I were born in stone age, I might be their meal already.

Moron, that's to attract prey, girl!I doubted if I can remember within 2 days?! Lastly, he decided to borrow me his E71. (His heart was bleeding the moment he handed over his phone). Well, E71 is not reliable though. It must be sad to be apart from its owner. I was lost after sending Daniel to hospital but that E71 kept telling me, "LOST SATELITE RECEPTION, LOST SATELITE RECEPTION...........LOST.....". FINE! I stop at the roadside, TELL ME ONCE YOU FOUND YOUR RECEPTION!
I will start working next week. I hope that the boss is good, the colleagues are good, the working environment is good......God, please bless me.

My Bro's Big Day
1 September 2008 was my eldest brother's wedding day. They had started the preparation in June but I was only instructed to carry an umbrella on the wedding day. Following are few photos taken on the wedding day.
Picture taken in front of church (I was still on duty to carry the umbrella)
not forgotten, my "little white" which consumes RM800 from my salary every month
My 'twin' brother and sister in law
My brother was asked to find out the bride's hands and my cousins were busy fooling him around. He failed in this session. We gave him another chance by touching the part that he like the most. Everyone were so excited waiting for his answer......... ears, don't think too much.
His wedding makes me think a lot on marriage. I once thought that marriage is to tight my boy friend so that he won't run away. But I change my mind when I saw the number of divorce cases handled by my lawyer. Last month, I saw a middle-age man crying in my lawyer's room as the wife abandoned him. Don't cry, MAN! May be your wife dumped you because of your weak personality.
I began to have the idea that marriage is just a formal procedure to declare to the world that someone and someone are couple. Nothing more than that. If someone meant to leave you, he/she will still leave you although you have a dozen of children.
For the time being, I think I only want to travel in Sarawak with someone in Kuching together with my "Little White"!
