Looking back 12 years ago, I was still an active athlete, always skipping class for training, meeting.. (Bull: Who is Penguin?! Is she in the same class with me? Oh... that fierce girl ah...)

But now....

Bull : Penguin, let's go jogging and burn your fat!
Penguin: Huh?! Can we only make it tomorrow? I'm tired today.
Bull : NO! Get up! Your tummy is getting bigger. Let's go work out!
Penguin: (Inhale) No la, I'm so slim! Where got tummy? Where?
Bull : ...........

Why am I so lazy now? I could never expect Bull will have better stamina than me. He was a.... emm.... a quiet boy sitting at the back, whom I don't really know until Form 4.

Bull: (was sitting at the front desk)......hey, 2 carbon dioxide..
Pn Azimah: shh...
Bull: (mumbling) 2....2......
Penguin: (Confused) erh?
Katak: (was sitting next to Bull) 3 water...

My Little Rottie

0 comments


My bro brought back Nini during my last holiday in Bintulu. This little naughty woke us up every night for three reasons.

First: Ah Mei, I want to pee!

Second: Ah Di, I want to shit!

Third: Daddy, I....am hungry la...I will be glad if you play with me too!

She barked non-stop for the first 3 days when she woke up in the middle of the night. I believed everyone of us hear her. At last, only my little brother and I woke up and waited for her to pee, shit and eat! (Lucky I only went back Bintulu for 5 days or I will need to buy a dozen of Garnier eye roll-on.)

Well, she was 3 week-old in this picture. My mum told me that they couldn't stand the noise she makes every night. Thus, they decided to give her freedom. They prepared enough food for her, so she can get what she want and do whatever she like when they are sleeping or going out for work. As the consequences, they have to clean up her waste here and there everyday.

Recently, my mum told me lots of funny story about her. She told me that Nini is like a little child, who likes to grab their attention. They noticed Nini was dragging one of her back legs one day. At first they thought Nini was injured. Later only found out there was only little cotton sticked to her foot pad. After they removed the cotton, she can walk like normal again.

My mum accidentally stepped on her foot on the other day. She was dragging her leg again when walking. My mum felt so sorry looking at her pulling her leg. But, after pampered her and massage her leg for a while, she can walk again! (What kind of dog are you, Nini?)

My mum never like cats and dogs. But comes to Nini, I can hear the joy she has talking about her.

Nini, I think you must be as talkative as me or perhaps as cute as me (.."), or else I don't think my mum will like you so much.

Now, I am missing you already!

Extremely Pity Xiao Bai

3 comments

I woke up early this morning to do laundry. My housemate turned up at the window suddenly and told me, "Sulin, your car's wheels are all gone!!" (I was frightened and the first word came out from my mouth wasn't "AAHHHH!!!!!", instead, I told her that I will go wake Daniel up.)

First 'shoe' of xiao bai gone!

Xiao xiao xiao xiao bai.... why is this happen to you? Why you? WHY?!!!!

Second...gone!!

ALL GONE!!!!

I was quite calm when I saw him in such terrible condition. Like Daniel said, "He was skinned alive.."

I think I was totally horrified until I can't cry my anger out. My heart is still palpitating fast and I doubt if I could have a good night sleep tonight. I know I should be grateful as they only stole the wheels, not the car.

I just can't stop thinking of the original sport rim that xiao bai used to have. And someone just told me that the original set of viva sport rim cost around RM1600! Plus 4 tyres which should be RM100 each... I think I should stop thinking of it or I really need an appointment at psychiatric ward tomorrow.

Pity "Xiao Bai"

2 comments

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

0 comments

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?"


"hmm...use the thing to hit the goat until it pengsan, so that we can take the blood easily." (haha...)

"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

1 comments

The Star reported:

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

1 comments

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

0 comments

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"!

With first big salary...come some big purchases

0 comments

2 months had passed since my first day reporting in for job.

2 months of grueling life as a houseman....
...and it all paid off...with 1 big salary :)

what better to do with the money than to reward oneself with something good...
say hi to my new mobile...

tada....
i noticed kk also bought himself a new toy, so i cannot lose up. I don't have all the time in the world to do an unboxing post like him.

The camera on my new device kinda suck, notice all the purple hue evident on the pictures of this post. However it's good enough to take pictures to post to the web which is what i normally do for pictures taken with my mobile, so not really a bit problem for me. Other than that, i'm totally in love with it...and it comes with a gps installed with 'ahem' version of garmin xt and latest malsing map. It's just sooo ecstatic  to hear it say 'drive 1.9km and turn right', 'drive 100m and reach destination at left'...call me a suaku, but it really helps me navigate kuching which had some of the stupidest road system i've ever seen. 

And this is my new ride...it's small, it's efficient, and it's cute...but it already got some minor scratches here and there after just 1 month... :( btw, check out the number plate as well :)
 
Btw, how's everyone doing? i'm kinda losing my insanity here....this job is really eating up my life...

What a diagnosis...

0 comments

This article is taken from the Sin Chew today regarding an NS trainee who died in the camp after some 'stomach upset'. The phrase bracket in red reads: 'the doctor in the hospital said that she is constipated, leading to intestinal obstruction and this resulted in her heart been attacked by bacteria which ultimately leads to her death'.


Whoah! that's so much of cock! Pardon me, even with my very limited medical knowledge as a *ahem* newly graduated medical doctor, I'm speechless with the particular doctor's statement. 

Well, it might be a wrong report as this came from the victim's parents and they may had misinterpreted the doctor's words. Let's hope that next time when the reporters report such things, please verify with the hospital staff first before printing it out as even a lay man can tell you that this is so full of shit (which was pointed out by my father or else i would had never read it).

Pity Bull on Election Day

0 comments

Someone was so excited to be an eligible voter, telling me how good is he as a Malaysian, lecturing me for not appreciating the rights I have as Malaysian.
He must be very happy to be able to cast a vote on the election day (i guess). He brought me to Blueberry and ordered himself a bottle of beer and a glass of cocktail on Thursday night.

Last night, he finished the whole plate of "Ikan Bakar" while I was busy at the tuition center. That is my FAVOURITE! He did not even think of buying some for me!
Today, he received the punishment:-

eat la, eat la.. dare you to eat my favourite again without me?!

Oooi! Wake up, wake up.. You need to cast the vote for "Bintulu's Future"..

haih.... It is obvious that I have to let him rest. I can only hang out with my second boy friend.
Bull, please get well soon!
Daniel White, talk to me, talk to me.. I will bring you for dinner afterwards, how about dining at Shell? or you prefer Petronas?

For those who think that I'm wasting away in Batu Pahat, no, I'm not! I'm very much alive! and I just finished running (well...walk actually) a full marathon in Singapore!

My time? hehe...paiseh...it's around 6 hours...i know, it's kinda nothing to shout about and i got all my laziness to blame, hehe. Never again! I'll not go to another marathon without proper training!

Food for thought:

Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in Marathons. Eight times he's not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a Wheelchair but also towed him 2.4 miles in a dinghy while swimming and Pedaled him 112 miles in a seat on the handlebars--all in the same day.

Their best Time? Two hours, 40 minutes in 1992 (man, that make my marathon kinda sounds like a big joke) --only 35 minutes off the world Record, which, in case you don't keep track of these things, happens to Be held by a guy who was not pushing another man in a wheelchair at the Time.

Boring life in Bintulu

0 comments

I joined the trip to Bakun two weeks ago. After deducting RM20 (office club fund) from my salary, my firm only afford to bring us to visit Bakun Dam (haha...). The trip was quite dull as my "sifu" in office, Biby and Rachel did not join the trip.

When the others were busy bombarding the Project Manager, Mr. Keith, with questions, we were busy posing behind them.

Well, according to Mr. Keith, the Bakun Dam is the second highest dam in the world after Shibuya Dam in China. But I only know spillway, turbines and power house after 30 minutes of talk.
Model of the Bakun dam

the spillway, the only structure that i can recognize.

hai, forget about the trip...

Since there's no tuition class in the school holiday, I always kill my time by watching tv at night.

Someone is trapped in the Batu Pahat, so I've no date for almost 4 months already! Someone was thinking to fly back in Christmas a couple of days ago, but the the flight tickets are too expensive. I think he rather spend the money on her new girl friend, named Macbook, instead of flying back to Bintulu (Don't worry, I'm not jealous of her. How about changing a new alarm for her? hehe.....)

Even though I've got my driving license for almost six years, my parents still ban me from driving at night. Since I'm the only who cannot afford to own a car, I have to ask for the car start from my eldest brother to my little brother every times before I go out.

"Ah Long ah Ah Long, tomorrow you go out with "Cheng Cheng Cheng Cheng" (his girl fren's nickname that given by my elder brother) or not?"

"Er Sao ah Er Sao (sister in law in chinese), tomorrow we go shopping, okay or not?" (my elder brother has surrendered in the Family World War, so now my sister in law is the one whom I should talk to.)

"Ah Di ah Ah Di, are you working this Sunday? May I borrow your Little White Kancil? I need to go to church o? can or not? If you wanna go out play Dota, you follow cousin's car la ah.."

Finally...

"Aiya, Dan ah Dan, when are you coming back to fetch me leh?"(but please, don't speed at 130km/h, okay? Too FAST DE!!)

Jungle Trekking

There's pretty much nothing to do here in Batu Pahat. That's why we go jungle trekking at Bukit Badang frequently as that seems to be the most secluded and well covered place to exercise in Batu Pahat. Now, tell me how to prepare for Marathon in less than a month? i'm seriously scared now...

Terry Fox Run 2007 KL

0 comments

Diagnosed to have osteosarcoma at the tender age of 18, Terry Fox had to have his right leg amputated and was given a prosthesis (artificial leg). He was touched by his fellow cancer suffering patients while he was in the hospital.
3 years later, at the age of 21 the chap decided to run the marathon of hope to raise the public awareness and funds for research on cancer. He planned to run across Canada at the pace of 42km (standard marathon distance) per day. Sadly, he couldn't finish the run after 143 consecutive days (he ran about 5373km by then) when his health condition couldn't allow him to continue any further. He died shortly after just one month before he reached 23 . Currently this run is an international event that is being held every year in multiple cities to raise fund for cancer research.


imagine...running 42 km for 143 days CONTINUOUSLY with a PROSTHETIC LEG! This make me ashame of myself...sigh

In KL, the event will be held on:

Date of The Run: 4th November 2007

Flag Off: 9 am

Venue: Taman Tasik Perdana (Lake Gardens)


as you can see...there's no advertisment on the T-shirt (unlike those from Penang Marathon 2007 which has sponsors over every inch of the shirt), this is as accordance to Terry Fox's wish of not seeking fame or fortune for the event...so yes, this shirt is as clean as it gets!

You can support the charity event by joining the run and buy a t-shirt from them at the price of RM25. You can always donate extra if you want.
OK, I also wanna run! I need to train for marathon as well (the distance is 6.5km - should hardly be a problem), but I don't think I can make it to KL this weekend. Well, so who else is going?
Seriously, if Terry Fox can do it with one amputated leg, what excuse can you have for not running 6.5km? (ok, my excuse is i'm in Batu Pahat...lame, i know...)
You can get more info here.
