I had a very peaceful on call last night. From Thursday morning till the Friday's, there was no admission at all.

Very good eh?

Still I managed to get only 4 hours of sleep. Not an awful lot.

That explains why I can't do any reading tonight.

From what I've been reading, BN is currently leading in Hulu Selangor, through internal survery.

2 more days to go.

FINGERS CROSSED.

Foolish

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I was having a dinner at one of the roadside restaurants, and Ezam came up with some statement.

So I was wondering, if whatever Anwar did was so wrong, why did you put your life on the line to save him? If you are truly a leader with strong personality and charisma, you would not have done that would you?

Now you choose to reveal the so-called truth about Anwar. So you are saying you stood by him in the past for the wrong reason?

Zaid took alcohol in the past. Why did Muhyidin did not comment when he was still in UMNO? So when somebody goes out of UMNO, his wrongdoings must be exposed?

I was only wondering, you see.

What does not wonder me is to see TV3 and UTUSAN play the same slanders/rumours/gossips everyday, again and again?

The Malays will be left at the back again in the race to achieve greatness. Not a rocket science, is it?

Some people prefer to sit down and accept whatever info given to them, without anylysing it. Foolish, is that how you spell it?

He's stuttering. He appears scared of the questions. He too persistently looks to Salahuddin for answers. Why?



Of course we respect your decision. but why now?

Weird enough, both BN and PR are resorting to old stories to kill each other. Yesterday, Zaid and alcohol, now it's Hisamudin's turn. Nothing new to me, I've seen those photos before.

Why can't they play it clean? Prove your credibility. Prove that why the Hulu Selangor should vote for you, and not why they shouldn't vote for your opponent.

Dirty Game

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

Yesterday, I thought this was the most shaking news when BN's candidate for Hulu Selangor said this,

Right-wing group Perkasa is not belligerent against non-Malays as its aim is to promote the empowerment of the Malay community, said BN's Hulu Selangor candidate P Kamalanathan.

but he defended himself well, didn't he?

"Perkasa has its own role. It is strengthening its (Malay) race, its language and its religion, and we (MIC) are also doing the same by strengthening our race, religion and language," he stressed.

And a bombshell has dropped on PKR's camp,


the game is getting dirtier. Can we Malaysians cope with this?

Instead of proving each party's strengths, both parties are finding the best ways possible to bring down the enemy.

This way of playing game is unhealthy. It is, isn't it?

I long for a holiday.

I haven't gone back to KL for more than a month now.I have not seen my nephews and nieces for quite some time.

And all I can do now is to save all my 8 days off for a long vacation with family in June.

To change the topic, I am following closely on Hulu Selangor by election. As my brother in law has put it ' BN is fielding an Indian candidate, PKR is Malay, so on which side will Perkasa throw their support'?

So many issues we can discuss here. I can't continue writing, this persistent sore throat and cough is killing me.

Maybe next time alright?

Confidence Crisis

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

I've lost that confidence in handling football. I become nervous with high long balls, I don't know how to dribble and I am the total opposite of Rio Ferdinand in a role I love the most, central defender.

That's how the Ministry of Health has changed my life.

I miss my old relatively more active life.

Perhaps that explains why I enjoy this video so much.



Sedentary lifestyle isn't good, is it? Spending hours in front of your computer surfing everything and nothing, that makes me a diabetic patient in 20 years to come. Perhaps, even earlier?

assalamualaikum

I've had a very packed schedule over the past fortnight. Really. I was post call on 1st of April, then 3 more on calls for the next 9 days. Better still, I was sent to Eastin Hotel in Penang for GastroIntestinal Forum.

Life is full of ups and downs, aye?

Being busy does not mean life is bad. Nevertheless, as a consequence, when you win some, you will lose some. On boss' order, we have to be on call for 11 times this month. No matter how strong is my feeling to be back home(KL), I have to be patient.

I truly miss home.

What can I do?

Life as a House Officer in Malaysia is so perfect that you will never wish you want to work somewhere else.

Yeah right.

Who is Confused?

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

for those who understand very little when it matters a lot,

Despite questions from reporters stating that Christians’ understanding of Allah differ from Islam’s meaning of a singular God, he asserted that confusion would not occur if time is taken to explain and understand.

“We as Muslims can eat the meat prepared by Christians as well as Jews. This is because they use the name ‘Allah’ when slaughtering meat.”

“It is our responsibility to explain, not to attack.”

He added that Muslims will not be confused if Christians were allowed to use “Allah”, again dispelling claims that the faith of Muslims would be in jeopardy if “Allah” were to be inclusive to all.

“Who is confused? True Muslims won’t be confused, the ignorance of Muslims is our own doing,” he said.{TG Hadi Awang}

Knowledge based matters matter a lot.

Don't you agree?

I've just had a look at Auckland UMNO's latest get together photos. I was a member previously. I hold no grudges. They were nice to me.

I was just wondering, how would I be punished if I was a member of Auckland PAS/PKR/DAP?

I think our government's policies are fair.

I think they should remain in power at least for the near future.

I am exhausted. This is only Day 4(out of 15).

The routine remains the same for the next 11 days. I've to wake up at 6am, and come back home at 10 pm. Everyday.
What can I do? A few individuals are adamant that their methods are second to none.

I've to accept it as it is.

Maybe I complain to much.

Or perhaps my minimal interest in surgical based fields is killing my motivation slowly.

I don't want to become a surgeon.
I want to go on a holiday like this.

I need to recharge my batteries. Being forced to work like this is no fun. Seriously

Better future

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

Today is my day 2 in Kulim since coming back from KL. I've never had enough in KL. To the max, 4 days in KL and that's it.

Put aside the above matter. It's history now.

What worries more now is the present and future. My first day in Surgical department has been a relatively quiet day. Surgical based fields have never been a priority to me. Off the top of my head, medical and A&E are the main aim now.

What worsens the matter is I have to carefully choose the best time for holiday. Imagine the life of a House Officer, we are given only 8 days off in the space of 4 months(from 11/3/2010 - 10/7/2010). We work everyday, 24/7 and we get very little time to rest. Is it so wrong if we are voicing out our frustration? Only 3 days left if I decide to join the family trip to Kelantan this June.

The senior medical officers often say they hardly complained when they were in our shoes. You've gotta be kidding me right?

20 years ago, Internet never existed and no one would have been interested to listen to your story. Sorry, I don't buy it when you say you never complained. 1 thing that makes the difference is we have more channels to claim our rights.

With regard to triple ward rounds daily, I find is absolutely ridiculous. I completed my studies in NZ, and everyday, 1 medical student, 1 house officer, 1 registrar and 1 consultant would walk together to complete a single ward round.

I can't see Malaysia is getting better by practicing triple ward rounds. It's a waste of time, money and human resources.

Having said that, what can we do when you have a medical specialist who only believes that his/her method is the best one.

Yeah yeah we complain a lot.

Screw it.

You can take them out of Umno, but you cannot take the Umno out of them.

This is 2x better,

Ahli parlimen PKR, Mohsin Fadzli Samsuri diberi tempoh tujuh hari supaya mengosongkan kerusi Bagan Serai ataupun menghadapi tindakan dikenakan solat hajat supaya dihukum oleh Allah.

Ahli Majlis Syura Ulama PAS Ahmad Awang (kiri) berkata pihaknya akan menganjurkan solat hajat selama tujuh hari tujuh malam supaya Mohsin diberikan hukuman setimpal kerana mengkhianati perjuangan.

Somebody please teach me if there is an authentic hadith to prove this practice is correct. Do not abuse our beloved religion for your own benefit.

If there is an authentic hadith, I am more than happy to admit it's my mistake.

Class is permanent

I personally think that our souls are constantly thirsty. Thirsty for guidance, most importantly. In these modern days, we are lacking from the will to find Allah.

Remember when Ungu brought to us - Andai Ku Tahu, we were so addicted to the song. Or if it is not good enough, in the late 90's, Raihan shot to fame with the highest ever selling album with 700k.

Now we are listening to Wali Band - ToMat(tobat maksiat).



That English saying 'form is temporary, class is permanent' is classic. Unfortunately, we lack both.

I need to look at myself first before talking to anyone.

I am currently running on a ultra tight schedule. Today is a normal working day, and it will finish at 10 pm. Tomorrow, by 6 am, we have to be at the hospital again. We are to be transferred to Langkawi Hospital for 3 days. Why, you might ask?

We(us), are part of the medical standby team at IronMan Langkawi 2010. Cool aye? Kulim is a good place after all.

I doubt I will have any internet connection until Sunday, therefore anything interesting do please update me. Should you be free to do that, do not ever feed me with any news from Utusan. ;p

Work matters aside, I am offically now promoting my sister's blog. She has decided to give this business a go again. She raked a huge sum of money previously, but due to logistic issues, and another sister's transfer to Canada, this blog was left unattended for a few months.
