name

Parents nowadays… hmm.. how shall i put it.. have become more ‘advanturous’ in giving names  to their children. Imagine a young girl name Cahaya Olivia (yup this is a malay girl. her mommy calls her Olive..hehehehe).. so bizarre right? i’ve been in paediatrics almost a month now. I have not seen any child with classic malay name like Ali, Abu, Omar, Husin, Osman, Siti Aminah, Fatimah, Maimunah, Umi Kalsom, Zabedah, Abdul Rahman, Kamaruddin, Hajar, Zulkifli, Ramli, Jamilah etc anymore.. These are the names of the previous generation. The trend has changed. Now is the era for names like Danial, Darwish, Eriqa, Qisteena, Haiqal, Hazieq, Niejad, Ryan, Harziq, Qaisara, Dania, Aqil, Shazzy, Emmil …and many more. To make the name sounds super bombastic, the name can be extremely long like Muhammad Ryan Izzuddin Syah bin… or Puteri Emilia Qistina Qaisara bt…. Adoooiii can u imagine how tideous it is to write their names in the blood investigation forms?  I actually pity these kids. Imagine when they are 5 or 6 years old, go to kindergarden and learning how to write their name. I bet until standrad 1 pun blom tentu they can spell their names correctly. Thus in exams they  would spend more than 5 minutes writing up their names only. Then imagine when they are completing objective paper (ala..kertas ABC yg kene hitamkan itu..) either in exams or fill in UPU/Matriks application forms, i bet their names are too long too fit and their hands would turn numb doing it. What are their parents actually thinking??? Crazy2… Btw, i love my name. short and simple. therefore i will make sure my kids will have short name as well esp if their daddy’s name sudah panjang berjela2…. 1 word is enough for a name! some people might not agree, but this is just my humble thought..

ciao!

money does matter

In my paediatric department, every mistakes and delays would cause us few ringgits. Housemen are like ATM machines in our department..

The fines are:

1) delay in writing the discharge summary : RM 2.50 (each patient)

2) forget to up date the investigation results : RM 1.00

3) not plotting the growth chart : RM 1.00

4) late for CME, presentation etc : RM 5.00

5) do not carry out orders (taking bloods, endorse the medications etc..) : RM 1.00 – RM 2.50

and many more…

So, where does the money goes? hmm… good questions. I know some goes to our test papers (yes we have written exams!!!) The rest is a mystery. Maybe for the end of year party or sumthing hehehe…

So far, I paid RM 3.50 already.

Do you think this is the right way to punish or make us learn from our mistakes?

Timberland Matsu Mary Jane

One lesson in life…

There are some things in this world that are not meant for you, no matter how hard you try…

and I got my lesson..

there are these shoes that i’m craving for… for months now…  Timberland Matsu Mary Jane. It comes in 3 colours, black, white/green and orange. My favourite, the ORANGE one of course!!!

Matsu Mary Jane.. it's a cool name dont u think?

It was luvvvvv at the first sight. one quick glance i already got that “bling bling buy me buy me” signal from the shoes. It’s dem comfy. I dah berangan dah how wonderful it feels (for my feet la) to do on-call on those shoes.

But..  the store dont have the right size. fine.

i went to the next Timberland shop, yeah they got the right size, but they dont have the colour that i want.

then i went to kl, hunt for the shoes again.. found the right colour, right size unfortunately it was the last pair and someone already hold the shoes and walked straight to the cashier. broken hearted.

then i keep looking for the shoes. A few weeks later, still no hope.

…and i want it sooo much..

monday

yucks! i always hate Monday. When i was a medical student, i had this Garfield poster hanging on my bedroom wall. It has a moody sour face on Monday, then change into a big smile as the week goes on (biggest smile on Sunday of course!! hehehehe)… and today, despite i’m taking today off, it’s still Monday that i hate.

Woke up early today. Went to CIMB then Maybank. Lotssss of pending issues to settle. I went to both bank and trust me the queue is ridiculously looooooooooooooong. I’m just lucky for not being part of the line hehehe… Those people are queuing for ASW. I wish i had some money to buy those share (i am tempted to invest, but better penuhkan my ASB first i think, before venture out to other trust)

Then i went to my auntie house. To visit and to help. She lives alone so i couldnt say no when she asked me to stay for lunch. Then i went home…

Arggggh my internet connection is still not available. Angry! angry! angry! I called that Celcom salesman, he said he had registered my account already. Then i called the Celcom customer service, apparently according to them it takes about 24-72 hours for activation. It is so depressing. What a slow service. Connection should be done in less than 2 hours dont you think so? There is no wiring needed.. just activate the sim card for godsake. What takes them so long…donnola… Hmm Celcom service is still far from the world standard. Got to improve on that. I’m very patient woman, but if it is about services especially those that require me to pay in advance, i can turn to a very nasty person if the service is poor. I can be double irritating if i really really NEED to use the service and it is still unavailable for unreasonable reason. Next I can be tripple annoying if by the end of the day, i still couldnt get whatever i want.

Later at 3 pm i went to Maybank AGAIN. Duhhhh…. leceh2. Now i hate going to bank. Lucky daddy wanna stop by at one of those gerai and we ate kuew tiaw goreng for tea. I was home at about 5.15 pm. Guess what, still no internet blerghhhhh…

I’m grateful Mr. Simon is still here. If he isn’t, i personally think  i am capable of throwing this old laptop of mine out of the window. My blood is boiling!!!

Don’t play2 wit me today.

Better off to sleep for 1/2 hour to cool me down.

Later~

broadband & a new laptop

finally.. i pay for my own broadband.

Thanks Mr Simon for your generosity in the last 10 months. You’re the greatest hehehehehe… i finally subcribed to celcom broadband.  i think i can afford rm98 a month.. but til my broadband is activated, i’m still taking mr simon’s ride The truth is, i donno whether i will have time for internet or not. so rm 98 might be a waste of money afterall. just wait n see la…

next, i am planning to buy a new laptop. my current one is sooooo outdated n lembab. i’ve been thinking bout a cheap2 one je.. my brother said  even rm 2 500 can get me a super duper performance laptop nowadays. anyway, i’m aiming for much cheaper one… but i have already deeply in luvv with the red VAIO!!! aisey cam mana ni.. the sad part is i got no money for that Anyone willing to buy me the red VAIO? *wink* *wink*  pleaseee pleaseeeeeeee….

owh...owh... so sexy *drooling*
