sharing..

I have to cover many areas for the other matrons who are on leave.So I intended to go to other units this afternoon. For your info, I went to the bank by myself this afternoon.Sometimes I am very scared to go somewhere because I am not good on the road. I have poor direction sense.I cant remember roads well. I can get lost. I have to go round and round to remember the place. That is my weaknesses.
I went to ETD in the afternoon.I meet the boss there. He is a nice man. He shared many things with me. He told me a lot of work experiences..... about people he works with.Past and present.I like talking to him because he knows what you are talking about.He can share with you.May be we 2 got chemistry.
I went to another unit in the morning. OMG! busy like hell.I help up with the chores there.One lady, sweating like mad. At the end we find out that in the morning, she has insulin injection. She was fasted after that because she is going for angiogram. Then we quickly inject in glucose for her.Praised the load that she is ok.gtg

Thinking back..

Xmas day! We get up early and prepare our self to go to church.The Xmas service is at 8am.wao! The church is so full today.The usual seats are not enough. The ushers have to arrange the chairs all around to accommodate the crowd. mind you! the people who perform , occupies 1/4 of the church. Everybody sing the Xmas songs and we are very happy.
The little girl has been sick for a few days already.She is just having a flu---sore throat only with no fever. I know that she is ok. But she keeps telling me that she is not well. She asks me once, mum, why you don't care about me? I say, I am caring for you-- a lot! I look into her throat-- it seems ok-- a little bit red at both sides of the tonsils. I keep remind her to drink a lot of water. But I am quite sure that she don't drink enough water. That is why her sore throat is still there.I also get sore throat from her last few days. But mine, already healed. But she tells me in the church that she keeps telling me about her sore throat because she wants me to pity her. Oh I see! Then I said, throat throat... get well soon.
I remembered , BB when small, I think she was lazy to go to kinder.She always told me, she got stomach ache. One day, I got mad with her. I pointed to her stomach and said, stomach, stomach.. you better don't have pain anymore, or else I will get one doctor to operate your stomach.It works! no more complained of stomach ache after that incident. I remembered, BB in her primary, always represents the school for speech competitions. I always tie a red ribbon to her collar so that she looked a bit more out standing. Today , in the church, the boys and girls who sing on the stage also have ribbons tie to their collars.
DD has changed my layout of my blog.I am very happy! Sometimes we don't have to spend money to make someone happy. Thank you so much ---little girl. I love you so much.Since September , I find myself relaxing while I am blogging.Thank the little girl to help me to go into blogging. I can spend hours and hours with my blog. But I got so much more to learn. Tonight, we will go for the church potluck party. then we will go for the church 'malam berhebur' gtg

Xmas day delight....

Run here and there, contacting the speakers, to tell them their time of lectures--- introducing the speakers, keep the time during the lectures,help to correct the answer papers, and so on, lots of co-ordinating work. But is all over. Praise the lord. DD says mom very great, well, that is my work.

No arms ,no legs, no worries....

Nong always says--- no arms , no legs --is the worms. But we see the man with no arms and legs.
Life is full of wanders if you see it in your own way and own world. We went to listen to Nick Vujici---- Australian-- 26 years old man born with no arms and no legs. That was last Sunday.....14/12/2008.The crowd was so big.So many people want to see who is this man.

He is born with only his body trunk with a chicken size leg on his right side and the left sided leg is very small and not seen. He has no arms at all. But he is a handsome man.He shares his stories with us.His mother is a nurse and his father, a priest.Luckily he was born to a christian family, or else I don't know what will happen to him. God is very great !.God wants to change the world through him.He has travelled all over the world to share his experiences in life. He is so handicapped but he is not handicapped in his thinking.He is graduated with 2 degree holders.But why you and me are normal and we are no better than him. gtg

MVDoulos has changed...

Went to visit MVDoulos ...world biggest book selling ship. we went there around 3pm.The crowd is big. I remembered 7 years ago..... it was very different.It seems it is very commercial now. It is just like a big book store ... but it is on a big ship.nice though...but I feel the books are not as many as last time.There are many volunteers working on board. They direct us the whole way... way in and out.But one thing I noticed is that , they are very systematic now. There are so many children 's areas. And also, there are many stores--- coffee launch , aiscream, Kentucky corner, etc. There are many children 's books. DD is very excited. She took many photos. she will show you when she has done with them.We came back around 530pm.gtg

So called friend...

This friend of mine---- like the cloud in the sky....one moment, calm and nice, the next moment... fierce and unmanageable.I am living in this environment since 15/8/2005---3years 3 months 28 days... to be exact.How ... how.. and how....!But I can to it fairly well. One might ask... fairly---- the word itself-- is very difficult to come to any conclusion. Very true..but , really, that is live.I have no choice, but to stay on. May be till I retire one day!


When I just come to Kuching, I feel so depressed! GOK ,how I feel! The home and the children... all every where. OMG!tears every day.But I still have to work. I have no choice, but to go on!I need the vitamin M. Or else we all die!If I don't work, my children will not have money to go to school. Not at all.... I can assured you that life is such.The female gender has no position in the Tang family.That is the fact. But you all, you are my everything to mom.. Don't care what people think. People have money, but money is not everything in this world. The rich peoples children are NUTS. You all also will agree with me. The male gender in the Tang family are NUTS . You all know that very well. But whatever it is , let them be, we are what we are. Lets nature takes its place. God is very great. He knows exactly what to do.


That is when I apply to work in Saudi Arab. Mind you, last 2 weeks, Jess still ring me , ask me to work in Saudi Arab.


Back to the story,my friend will get angry at any time of the day.When she don't like the sale personal, she will get angry instantly in front of them. eg. she once throw her files in front of the sale strap. I was taken by a shock.That was a beautiful lady.I feel so sorry for her. I quickly get near to her to talk to her. I counselling her actually. After that I never see that lady again. So pitiful. I always think, if that is your girl, how will she be?I always imagine this sale personal as my children or brothers and sisters..I treat them as my friends. If I don't buy things from them, it will be OK also.A friend is better than an enemy.If she meet a sale personal that she likes, she will talk so soft to them.I don't know, may be she has dual personalities.
Truly speaking, this is not a good year for her. So many things happen to her family. may be this is Gods will?GOK. Sometimes she can be very nice to you. I have to think, is this really her?Sometimes she just shout to you out of no where.Well, we just treat her as crazy lady.

Going 4 better..

DD keeps pestering me to let her drives by herself. I keep thinking.. if I don't let her drives, when then? When I get up this morning, around 5am. I do all the work--- wash all my clothing--- machine and hand wash. That was nearly 6am. I call her up to drive me to work.She asks me-- which way to drive to the hospital?OMG! That is to say, she sits inside the car not knowing where we drive her each time.Never mind, I show her the way.Now I know, the kids will never grow under our armpit! So let it be! She has to drive by herself from now on.... so that she will grown into an adult.
Dad is coming back with his motorbike! so that we don't have to fight over the bike. That is good. I like that.

DD cut my hair.....

Last night, DD keep playing with my hair. Then I think, why not ask DD to cut my hair tomorrow since I am having public holiday . I tell DD about my idea. She agreed . I get up early , make 'kiaw'-- DD love the 'kiaw' I make for her. She said it was better than the one we eat in town. Ha.... this mean that I am a well to do ' cook.' Angat bakul sendiri!You know, sometimes, we have to praise our self to up lift our own moral.
We went to the saloon around 10.15am.Then she starts to cut my hair.Eh! she can do it quite professionally. Only thing is that she needs more practice.Girl, you have done a good job.Keep up with the good work. Actually ,DD is quite interested in the hair thing. I am happy with her.
Tomorrow I am working.Feel like a bit lazy after the few days off.But anyway, that is life.Some days we enjoy our self, and the other days , we have to work.
DD says, jia look like a teenage girl again! With her short hair and the white clothing.It seems Nong is a bit fatter than the time she was home in October. A bit more bigger... Nong. Keep up!

Sarikei trip---3/12 to 6/12

Took night bus to Sarikei on 3/12. We reached Sarikei around 4am on 4/12. It was drizzling when we reached home. Everything was so still and no change.We looked around the house to see if it was ok. We noticed one thing-- the sitting hall fan was still on !


We slept till around 8am. Then we started our business! I mean --business is things that we have to settle .We went to so many banks to settle DD 's bank accounts.The bank Pertanian become Angro Bank-- we don't even know where it is.We asked Jia 's friend--Agnes. Ha.. we had a chat for a while. You know what? RM 200 left only Rm167!--- service charge...and what charge...I don't know.We get only RM 150! The others' gira angus'.OMG! no need to leave any money in the bank .It become 'gosong' one day! Whole morning gone! Afternoon so hot, so we stay at home.Night time I talked to my brother and family members. Ah yang is at home now. He will be going back to KK 20/12 for his final semester. So he is going to graduate May next year!


The 2nd day ,I brought ant Chew Houng, Yan for breakfast.We enjoyed our self a lot. Night time we went to Bintangor to see 'hua cher'---actually it is a procession of the 'Tai Pek Gong'.The crowd was big. People ruched here and there. Quite interesting though! When the procession was over, then we came back to Sarikei.We brought ant Chew Houng along. She is very happy! She also collected many sweets. Because as we follow the crowd, they also throw the sweets.Anyway lets see the photos. DD with auty Chiew Huong

breakfast with DD.

So....So.... long I don't have breakfast together with DD. But today, I managed to eat together with the tiny little one! I cooked meast meat fried with egg, bitergould cooked with salted egg. DD says-- the cooking has mum s taste. Woah! I feel happy and proud.I thought I am the one who doesn't know how to cook.People always say, you know I have to rush back to cook for you. I don't have to do that. You are so stressful thing, because you don't know how to cook. Well, I am alone for so long, I never starve! I am still so strong and fit.May be I am born with such a life!Always have to be mocked and looked down upon by other people!I was always group as not earning enough money.I am useless.But how much is enough? But I always think, I am what I am. I don't have to life for someone.I am happy the way I am!The other day, Jess from Marolita ring me asking me if I am still interested to work in Saudi Arab?I said, wait till I am after 58 years old! I want to spend quality time with DD. She will be away next year. I will never have more time with her after that.Actually, my life here is quite tough.The other day, I attended the time management course. I don't manage my time well. Especially with my family! I always think of work! which is quite wrong! I want to change myself! --starting from today!

Staying at home....

keeering.....keeeeering......


Morning call at 6am.Stop the ringing! I don't have to go to work today! I decided to take leave for three days on Monday. Jia on her conversation with me that day, give me that idea.She told me 8/12 is a public holiday! how can I forget that! Anyway Jia bring me back to real life. I always work and forget about myself.I feel tired. I need a break. So ha...ha.... 3 days leave plus 2 days weekends plus 1 public holiday---all together, I have 6 days .That is a good break. I have decided to go back to Sarikei home to settle something.I think of the bike, the old car, and many more things.....


Usually, during working days, I wake up at 6am. I will flip through the newspapers to see 'big' news. At the same time, I do many things ---boil water, sometimes put clothing to the washing machine( not everyday we do washing----3 of us not many clothing ) When the water is boiled, I make my breakfast drink,that is instant Quaker oats. Oats is a good food. It lowers your cholesterol level in your body. Everybody can try that. Then I help myself with the 14 daily activities. What are they? may be Nong can tell us. Then I am ready by 645am.I am ready to go to work. You will ask me ,why I go to work so early? well, you know people my age, don't like to be late for work. And also that time, there is no traffic jam. I reach hospital around 705 or 710am. Then I go round ward. That time,I can see a lot of events.I can see how my nurses hand over duties. Actually, I want to catch the wrong doings.If I got enough time, I will go to another ward of mine to see and to supervise.By than ,it is around 10 minutes to 8am. Then I have to go to main office to take over duty from the night nursing sister.We spent about an hour there.We then go back to our own area again.By then the doctors are there to do Ward round.I will be there most of the time if I am not having meetings or any other commitments. That is the time I will tell doctors to wash hands and bla.. bla... One day, I ask the cardiologist--whisper into his ears--- have you wash your hands? surprisingly, he says.. not yet---- when you are here, I wash... or else no. What am I to say? I laugh, then everybody laugh. But he is very honest. I like him. The other lady cardiologist, also so cute, she says to me, if I am around, she always remember washing her hands. Another cardiologist, more interesting, every time he spirit rub his hands, he will ' hands up' to show me. At 1st, I don't know what he is trying to tell me. After that he told me ' I have wash my hands' Ha.. ha..... I am a figure to remind people to wash hands!
The other day, we have a medical student from New Zealand. I show him the poster on 5 moments of hand washing ----guidelines from WHO. Every time he sees me, he will smile. He smile because he sees me washing hands. He says that I am showing good example. When he sees me doing, he will also do. I say, that is very good.
If I am on leave, I have to get someone to cover my area. So next week my friend want to take leave.I have to cover her. It is December , I will be very busy doing the staff appraisal. Tough month ahead.
Feel bored! me never! I got so much to do. I thank DD so very much to help me to know how to blog. That is my dream actually. I can write as I like. I can be occupied. Now I must learn how to take photos to put inside the blog. That is my next strategy. Wish me success.

Malaysia Boleh....

1/12/---each year is world AIDS day. But we have it today.We all go for the launching of world AIDS day. It is done at our Hospital level. The organising committee will pin you a red ribbon or a red batch to mark world AIDS day. I managed to get a few of the batches. I gave to our cardiologist, our doctors on duty and some other staffs in our cardiology department. They are so happy.One doctor whom I haven't give yet. She ask, matron, why don't you give me one?
At the end,I gave her my own. They are adorable people! I ask the doctor, what day is today? They say, don't know. I say you all must know. They all look at me and they laugh. I always say, you all doctors are more cleverer people than nurses. You all have more intelligent mind. Some of them keep quiet, and some say, no lah, matron , you are more smart. That s why you are a
matron. May be it is true.Some of the doctors are stupid!
And also, at the lobby, the comet's give away free condoms. Some of the Red Crescent members will very shy. I take some to show them. They never see one ! Our directer says, you all must teach the community the correct way of how to use condoms.During my training days, the nurses were a bit shy. They taught the community like this--- pretending your fingers as penis----they put the condom on their fingers to show them. You know what had happened? Some mothers come back pregnant. Then the nurse ask---- Tell us how you use the condoms? OMG......The answer was...... We follow how you taught us, put onto the finger and make.... Ha,,,,,,ha.......
World AIDS day is a day to remind us not to fool around .It keep reminds us to live a healthy live.......without contacting aids. If you acquired aids, you better writ your will( if you have property, if no property... that it... mati katak) and chose you coffin and decide your last wish...
Early morning, I got very annoyed by a group of medical students. They come to our areas without reporting to us. I call all of them and give them a good piece of advice. A few of them cried. I hate them a lot. I reported them to their lecturer. After that ,they say sorry.I tell them, I don't like to tell them off. But I have to. I said, If I tell them, I care. A say is a care, no say, no care. At the end, they all go out of my office and say nothing.
2 days ago, I drove to work, only to find out that, a police car was following my back. Usually, I took a short cut to the car park. But today, I have to drive the long way. God damn it!
Yesterday, when I drove pass the traffic light, I saw a man wearing a coat with POLICE on it. He drove pass the red light! Police do break laws in front of the public!

Last night I went for a wedding dinner. Our neighbour got married. Ha..ha... the bride's name is Nathalie ( big breast) Nong hate that name a lot.
I felt so bad yesterday.Early morning I opened the gate and knocked some one's Hulux outside our gate. I thought the Hulux is far enough for me to open the gate! OMG ,luckily I am in time to close the gate on time before a bad knock.
I went to the dinner venue around 615pm. We walked around the shopping lots around that area. Actually it is quite nice place to shop.
The dinner consisted of the following dishes,
1.prawn salad combinations

Life....

home life....
Many pots were burnt since the day we were born.No exception now! Our pot was on fire again today!So smelly until now! OMG! DD sms me quite early in the morning to tell me. I am not surprised at all because it happened many times already.I think it is the pork inside the pot that made the smell to be there until now! DD was quite angry because she has to wash up the mess.
I remembered the 1st time, when our pot was on fire! really on fire! I was not kidding!That time when jia was may be 2 years old. While cooking something in a pot , he went to town.Our housemate were also not in the house. Our upstairs neighbour spray water through the window to the stove to put off the fire. OMG! luckily nothing happened that time. And again and again....Te kettle was just burned the other day. Now the AMC pot again.The door had a reminder... off light and fire before going out.DD gets so angry, she writes some more words onto the paper to remind again. I don't know what will be burn next round.

True Stories..

Dead man...
It happened in the 1st class ward. A man suffering from cancer passed away .The 2 nurses and the attendant were doing the last office.The night nursing sister came to do her round. She commented near the corpse...that is why he die like that...when young, go with so many girls..bla .. bla ... the corpse made a Coop sound.The 3 of them were very scared.The Senior nurse apologised to the corpse and say good words to him. The other 2 didn't say a word. The 2 who kept quiet, got sick after the last office. The senior nurse was ok
Smell of drowned dead body..
My colleague packed her car near the mortuary when she came to work. She was on afternoon shift. When she went home, it was nearly 10 pm. She felt a gush of cold air as she drove her car even if her car was tightly closed.Then she could smell drowned dead body! She said verses of Koran words. She prayed and prayed as she drove.She was so scared that she didn't even dared to turned back. She said things like ...don't harm me ,I didn't do anything bad to you, you please leave me alone, you please go to somewhere to join your friend.......
when she drove by the cemetery, the smell disappeared.She reached home ..speechless... and her whole body smell of dead body....She bathed and bathed to get the smell to go off. After that, she never dare to pack her car near the mortuary.

Bangau oh bangau..

Bangau oh bangau...

Bangau oh bangau kenapa engkau kurus?
Macam mana aku tak kurus ikan tidak timbul
Ikan oh ikan kenapa engkau tak timbul?
Macam mana aku tak timbul rumput panjang sangat

Rumput oh rumput mengapa panjang sangat?
Macam mana aku tak panjang kerbau tak makan aku
kerbau oh kerbau kenapa tak makan aku?
Macam mana aku tak makan perut aku sakit

Perut oh perut kenapa engkau sakit?
Macam mana aku tak sakit makan nasi mentah.
Nasi oh nasi mengapa engkau mentah?
Macam mana aku tak mentah kayu api basah.

Kayu oh kayu kenapa engkau basah?
Macam mana aku tak basah hujan timpa aku
Hujan oh hujan kenapa engkau turun?
Macam mana aku tak turun katak panggil aku

Katak oh katak kenapa engkau panggil hujan?
Macam mana aku tak panggil hujan ular nak makan aku
Ular oh ular kenapa nak makan katak?
Macam mana aku tak makan memang makanan aku

The story goes on and on...
one blaming each other.

The moral of the story is don't blame people
Look at yourself first before you talk about other people

If you point one finger to people
3 bounce back to you, yourself.

I want all of you to learn this story and remember all the time.

N.U.T.S.

21/11/2008
Flight at 9:15am.Wait for quite a while in the airport.Reached LCCT( low cost carrier terminal) around 11am.Then we go to the place nearby to eat our launch.Ha .... nobody can guess whom I met on the way there? Our neighbour from Sarikei!
We ate then we took a taxi to our hotel.To my surprise,the taxi driver didn't quite know the place .If it is for me I will ask the driver to ask his colleague to find out.But my two friends quarrel with him in his taxi! I kept quiet . Once I was in the taxi while came back from Sarikei to Kuching. The taxi driver had 3 customers in the same trip. Then i ask him if he can less me a bit or not. after that we talk some more, I forgot exactly what I talked and he told me to get out from his taxi. I am so scared. I never met such a bad tempered driver before. While as the other driver I met would always tell me, I less you a bit because I carried many passengers. Actually I am very scared to be alone in stranger 's car. That's why I had that uncle Voon to be my regular taxi driver.Do you realised that Uncle Voon is a bit considerate and a nice man? I met uncle Voon when he brought me to airport early morning.at the Sungei Maong traffic light, he was caught by the police.The police said that he drove pass the red light. While as I was observant to see that it was green light already.OMG!everybody argued and argued.Than i said I don't have time.I would be late for the plane!Than the police gave him a' saman' and he was fined! I am very unhappy about it and I rang to the DAP Y.B. to make a complaint. I don't know the story after that. I felt very pity to Mr, Voon. That is why I always use his taxi.
when reached the hotel, we didn't know that we have to wait for 3 pm to check in. So we took a taxi to shopping mall 1st. Till late evening, we came bake to the hotel. The room they arranged for us was so far away from the main building. we walked may be 5oo metres away to get there.OMG! the hotel is NUTS.It was such a dirty and filthy place! The room was smelly and dirty!Everything were not OK. We complained and the management don't bother much.This was the lousiest hotel I ever stay in my life! Well it was all over, I should forget about the whole thing.
The 2nd and 3rd days were the days to distress ourselves. After we complained to the management, they conpensate us with free breakfast and launch.gtg

Life ahead...

Tomorrow go to KL for 'Passion in nursing', in Shah Alam. Hope I will like it. We need CPD (continuous professional development) points ; matron--35-40 points; SRN--25-30 points; for nursing licence each year. If no CPD points, we will not be given the license. Then we can not practice nursing. That is our responsibility to obtain enough CPD points each year.

Learning hokien....

DD is learning Hokien from me and laughing away because her tune is very funny. That is how you learn. If you are scared to open your mouth, then you can never learn. I speak Iban to my patients, they all feel so happy, because someone can speak their language. I used to hug them, they feel so happy.

I still remembered how I learned how to speak other languages when I first go out to work.I brought a note book and tried to write each word I learned in the note book . than I start to practise what I have learned. We then try to speak in a sen tenses.Practise make one perfect.We all laugh and have fun together.That is how we learn together.It is real fun.we really enjoy it.That was our training time. Now I can speak many languages.----Chinese, Mandarin,Foochow, Hokien, Malay,Iban,and a few words of many other dialects.Praise the Load.

people 's own life...

Whole day meeting

KKM--kementerain kuat mesuyuarat

Our mentality is as such. This is what we are. Meeting whole day long, the end result is a bit only.We love that type of life.Worst still, someone love to go for all type of courses, always away from work place. No need to work. The work leave to the others to do.If someone ask, why this thing not done---easy to answer... I am away.... I am not around during that time. I read the early newspaper, the University of Malaya (M U) was grated even lower than Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines Univercities. Quite shameful actually. Last time ,if someone graduated from MU, the family will be so proud. Because, MU was world grated within 100 universities.But now we are within 500 only! OMG... And yet the principal have so many excuses ...Shame...Shame...


DD---hairdresser soon...

DD went for her first barbar class yesterday.She quite enjoy it. But she say, very tired.She bought her own scissors, doll with hair and she start her lesson yesterday. I really hope she will enjoy the course. If not for anything, but at least she knows how to take care of her own hair. That is the gese of it. The whole course is only 1k plus. And she will be certified a certificate! I love that! Next time she can cut me and daddy's hair.


New colleage..

A new friend joined us yesterday. They are different people. She just trasfered to KL last year. Now she come back. The 'skin ' people are different. May be they come back for something! The high post are waiting for them! They don't have to be smart to become big boss. That is our country!

Pretending....

Life is full of pretening.That is why the word 'pretend' come about.Our ancensters already know that life is full of pretenting.Sometimes you have to pretend to be good and sometimes bad( not always)

There is someone who can pretend so well.In front of you, she can be somebody great, but actually , she is someone real bad.I come across one colleague,when she see the superior coming, she pretend to work hard.But actually she is NUTS.I hate this type of people.The other day ,this lady come to me,telling me many things about herselve. I don't

counselling...

One staff come to me telling me she has migraine. I dug out her family problem.She tell me about her brother.Her mom passed away when her brother was 16 years old. Ever since the boy became 'unmanageable'. Go out with gangs , refuse to study, and his high school result is not to standard.She enrolled him to a vocational school. And he came out from the school after 3 months. cos he said that he doesn't like the school. He said that it is not what he wants. Young people never like anything.To me they only want enjoyment, play , eat, enjoy, join the gang,no need to work, ask for money. In their mind, they don't know what is tomorrow. They don't care.


I cried after listening to her story. Last time I didn't go to elsewhere to work cos I think of my children. If I go maybe my children like that....

Interesting news....

Yesterday I already hear funny stories about something. But I just keep to myself. I keep thinking last night, why ? why?.......
So this morning when I come to work, I interview another person to confirm the situation. And I interview our other colleage as well.
Ha.... something funny going on! One friend of ours complained the other one ,that he is very bad.Now I know why she complained. Once ,she wanted to hook him, in vain, so she took revenge. Or my gosh, it is so difficult to manage people.The lady friend ,very funny,cry and tell people that he is a bad gal. When I listened to both side stories, now I know who exactly is the bad gal. Human being are the bad people!
Early morning ,I heard another funny story.My friend tell me that yesterday , she was called up by our boss. Shouted to her ,why her staffs all want to get out from her department . She answered, she don't care, who want to get out ,do so. I come to know that our boss is getting funny each day. She tell you funny thing that is not true......great liar......
Situations are getting more tense each day. None of us want to go to main office now. We go there just to settle something urgent.
Talked to our ex-colleage just now. He is getting his pension soon. He say ,it is very sad to see our workers getting more and more lazy each day. I tell him ,wait for another few more years, nobody know us when we come to hospital. It is true. The younger generations, don't care anymore. Their mentality is work for money. They have no more soft skills. they don't treat mankind as humans.
Dad see Dr this morning, Dr asked if he is ok. Dr tell him not to eat a lot of carbohydrate food. I don't know what is inside his mind. Wait and see.
A friend of ours gone for course. She SMS the other friend that it is very boring. Hmmmm every now and then go for courses, for what? I also don't know. Everything boleh. Hidup.. mati... curi.. pukul.. semua boleh.

Everyday life.....

Cardiac clinic appointment

10/11/2008 is dad 's clinic apt date. I forgot about it because may be I was too busy lately and also I am getting old. Actually I wrote the date on the board at work place. Everyday I see but I didn't pay attention. So near yet so far. Ha.....
So tell him to fast overnight for blood taking of fasting lipid profile, blood sugar, BUSE, FBS, serum creatinine. He grumble so much last night. ....no need to take medication.... don't want to see Dr. blah blah.....What is for me? nothing. Do everything for him , only forget once and he grumble so much. That is this man.
But anyway ,I see that a man like that will always live long life. Because he only say, say, but deep inside him ,he really take care of himselve.I will bring him to see Dr tomorrow.


The 2 balls....

He used to forgot something. Even he will forgot to take out the key from the car. I have to send the key to Bintangor one time for his locked car! If the 2 balls were not attached, there would get loss in space!


The pension card..

One day I ask him ,where is his pension card? That is important, because that is his identification after pension. He searched everywhere for it. Hai ya.....


over grown....

My colleague keep asking me, why I can stay slim and firmed.I told them not to eat so much of the carbohydrate food. They told me that they can't stand being hungry. Well ,we don't have to starve. Just eat the usual way but less carbohydrate intake. Eat more vegetables and fruits.But don't take a lot of rich tip bids.We eat to live and not live to eat. That is to say, we eat just enough to keep life going. No need to eat extra. The extra you eat is going to become the fat in your body. At the end of the day, your heart can't stand the extra load. That is why heart problem sets in. Always remember....EAT TO LIVE AND NOT LIVE TO EAT. keep your body shape for ever fit and healthy.

unusual things...

Funny things...
Have meeting this afternoon. It says those staff who are for special award must have good characteristic of good rapport, must know how to do certain things.One part amuse me.... You must know how to pick up rubbish from the floor. Or my gosh, this is part of everyday life. what are we ,Malaysian? Quite shameful man.

Lie....
I already say earlier, people who lie get lots of thing in life. People can recommend themselves for some form of award quietly, and tell others that they are clever people. But actually they know NUTS.Malaysians are like that. That is why I hate people like that. But whatever it is, I earn my living to feed my members at home.They are my dearest people.Our specialist one day tell me, when you get sick, your family are the one with you. I tell him that it is true.

Feel really touched...

DD came back yesterday after her happy hour at school. Then she went back to school again around 8 pm. During the few hours at home ,she let me saw a great show which she download from her friend.

Money not enough --- 2 .

Everybody must see.. It is such a sad and real story.I think it is happening everywhere and everyday.You all see for yourself. I drop tears many times.When you all are small, the old forks look after you all so passionately. When they grow old, you know how the story goes.

DD had seen the story. She want me to see.We must learn something from there.

We went to 100% store yesterday. Buy quite a lot of things.Everything increase price. I am very careful in choosing what to buy. Don't know what will be out the shelf tomorrow. I always remind myself,how much poisons have we take?

Happy hour....

Friday...
Today is Friday.Long lunch hour. work from 8am to 11:50am then start work at 2:15 to 5pm. Work only 6 .5 hours today.After the routine work,I stay in the office. Do some returns and some reports.Then the cleaner woman come to give me some rambutan fruits.I use to be very good to them. I always give them some food to eat. Give them little gifts. That's why they are good to me also. Whenever I ask them to do something, they will come straight away. One day, I feel ill.They massage for me.People always say,a friend in need is a friend indeed. I also always make friend with low income group of people.Imagine , without a cleaner or a sweeper, what will it be like? We are all important people in the organisation.Be it Dr, nurse, or a cleaner.We are in the team.Our objective in life, is to earn money home to feed the family

Something nice....

Whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
there will always be sunshine,
after the rain....

Perhaps you may stumble,
perhaps even fall,
But God's always ready,
To answer your call.....

He knows every heartache,
sees every tear,
A word from His lips,
can calm every fear....

Your sorrows may linger,
throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish,
in dawn's early light......

The Savior is waiting,
somewhere above,
To give you His grace,
and send you His love...

whatever your cross,
whatever your pain,
'God always sends rainbows....
after the rain....'



Only we can be us and only you, you.

No one can think,
breathe,
feel,
see
experience
love or
die
for anyone of us
Inside we are what we are.

We all come into life
without a map,
an operating manual, or
a definition of ourselves,
other than male or female.

It is up to us to discover
who we are and who we can be.
Life treats you as you treat life.

----Mark Victor Hanser et al

A lot to learn...

Lots of spelling mistakes..

Read through my own blog. I find a lot of spelling mistakes. Am I growing old? Forgetting so many words? My gosh! I must try harder.When I want to write something, suddenly I cant spell out the exact word that I want. My mind is so blank when I think hard. woh loa......scary to grow old.A friend of mine, once said that she is scared to grow old. Now I know exactly what she meant.But I have tried very hard not to behave old. I go with young people and I talk to them.I behave like one of them....Ha ... GOK...what it is all about.


lend my shoulder...

One day ,a junior Dr felt so down. I called her to a corner and counseling her. She cried. After she cried ,she felt better.Today ,I go to follow Dr. round. There is another junior Dr feel like crying.I can see from her face.I told her to stay calm. And I give her some advice.I hope that she will be OK.


Hand washing ...

Is it so hard to wash your two hands? I go round to see if people wash their two hands. I keep washing my hands hoping the other will follow. But in vain. I still have to whisper into people s ears reminding them to wash hands. Even with our enforcement of collecting RM 1 for not washing hands, they still don't follow.I have even collected money from one of the Dr for not washing hands. It seems they don't bother much. Last week, I asked one of our specialist why he didn't wash his hands. He said, if I am around, then he wash,if not he will skip hand washing. My GOD.... life is tough. As if wash hands for me..

Do no harm...

If you don't know how and what to do ....ask and ask.. do no harm to mankind.And also do no harm to yourself. Don't drink until mabok, each time you harm yourself, there is always a damage done to yourself

Facts of life...

People like to lie..

Colleague of mine like to bluff and to tell lies. The European will tell 3000 lies to their children in their life time.E.g.... the Santa Claus don't give presents to bad gals...etc...
Is it good to tell lies? GOK....That lady in our organisation even use people s project to become hers for her master program! And she has a master degree!----cut and paste lah of course!
At work, people s projects will become hers. She always say I do this and I do that. But she do NUTS---- Ha.... IE not up to standards.
The pharmacy colleague of mine has done a project. She ask for it and claim that it is her project.
I ask my colleague ....why you give her? She say ,never mind lah... my gosh!
So many pieces of work are done by us. She will tell our director that it was done by her.But now we know that a lot of people don't trust her. It is only a matter of time. GOD will reveal everything. That s Malaysia boleh! Now that she want to do PhD..... copy who ? don't know...
Is life good like that? The other day ,my friend tell me.There is the neighbour of hers, together with her grandson, steal her backyard rambutan fruits. Oh ..my gosh... that is the teaching..
So you know lah, what is best to do...


cry,,, cry,,, cry,,

when someone want to correct your mistakes, you should be very grateful to say thank you! but this stupid girl know how to cry only. I hate people crying.... hate so very much.
My children ,when cry,I will ask them to stop crying. If not, I will beat them further. So my children all know that, if they have to cry, they will cover their mouth with a pillow or a piece of cloth or towel and cry behind the door.


stubborn.......

I also hate people who are stubborn.. Tell her once.. still repeat the same mistakes... hate... so much

Many lessons learned....

Poor Internet connection........

Past few days the lines is not good. We cannot get connected. Today only they found out that the modem is at fault. They have changed to a new one. yahoo... blog again..


Professor talk on ...change--we need; change.. we must...

Yesterday, our prof. talk on --- we must change...
With our mentality, I am quite doubtful if we can make it. People are complacent , refuse changes--- prefer to stay in the cocoon.Anyway it is very encouraging talk.


Collecting wet clothing..
.
Day before yesterday, when I went home from work,I noticed our bachelor neighbour collect clothing in the rain. I smiled to myself. There was a story behind it. Years ago, when DD was still in primary 2. One day, I was working 8-4:15pm. I dried our clothing outside the veranda before I went to work. The sun was so good and the clothing were all dry. There came the rain just before the office hour was over. When I reached home, the clothing were still on the lines. I got very angry, and scolded everybody at home. Then DD went and collected the wet cloths and quietly she put them in a pail. She didn't say a word. But I saw all what she did.
I keep quiet after that.But still pull long face. She is so smart---- has her own philosophy. She came to me when I was less angry. She said, mom ..... took it as if we were all not at home. I felt so bad when I heard what she had said to me. Her mind can be so opened. Why mine is so narrow? After that when the cloths are wet I never want to say anything. Let it be... let it be...
I learn a great lesson from her. What for want to get angry anyhow? Life is like that.


A lesson learned from Nong....

dad and me always quarrel over dad s saham.
Nong said one day to me ..mom.. you get married to dad, is your own choice. No need to quarrel everyday. May be this is true.


From jia and BB

When they were in form one and form three, one day they told me.. mom you always say that we are stupid, then we become stupid.. then we are stupid.True also, we must be able to encourage them instead of condemning. I learned many lessons from my juniors. that is life.gtg

Memories.......

Aerobics..

Yesterday I join the church dancing class, nothing is free in this world, but this one is free. I call it aerobics because I don't know how to dance. I just want to sweat myself .We dance for nearly 2 hours. That is enough for me.Actually it is quite nice.

Sunday market..
..
Went to Sunday market and buy a lime tree . we plant a lime tree near the guava tree. It already got fruit on its tree. Lately we always make lime juice to drink. It is soothing to drink on a hot day when it is drank icy cold. I love it. So kids when next time, when I cant move, you know what I want. But if you offer me everyday, I died also lah! gtg

Recalling.....

Before teen...
Life is tough.Wear a red pants and go around the whole village. Red coloured pants..... because it is free material. The Chinese when dead, always give you red material if you go for funeral.That is why we always make pants with red material. we don't wear any shirt. The whole village people are like that. That why we don't feel shy. when a bit bigger, because reach monarchy... then we put on shirt. We all group together and swim in the river nearby.Life is enjoyable but we are very poor.We always go out to the rain. We enjoy to be under the rain
.
After monarchy..
..
we are a bit shy. No more playing like before.Read the school lessons sometimes.Still waste a lot of time dreaming ,,, daydreaming....most of the time. Follow parents to the rubber garden,paddy fields,pepper garden.Sometimes we work hard. sometimes very lazy.
The communists are very active that time. They always ask us to join them, Luckily we didn't join them, or else we are not today.
The other day in the ward, I meet a village mate.The family member was shoot dead by the government soldiers. They relate the story to me. I still remembered very well.
After form 5....
Go to interview like Hie Chung.very stupid and konong.Speak very little English. But thick skin.not shy,, just go ahead and speak whatever we can. Then got the job and start work till today.In between, so many things happen.That is long story cut short.
After give birth ....
Angela... 1st born.very happy. Born face to pubis.When she was born, her head so long. That turn out beautiful Ange today.I saw your orange colour topless cloth... very beautiful. I love that... But I know that you just try on ,like Nong and you take photo with it. After that you didn't buy....correct?
Going for CCU course....
When DD is 8/12 old, I go for course in KL. That time, transport is difficult.I left home for 4/12. without coming back home. When I come back after 4/12, DD cant remember mum.She get away from mum...the stranger to her. Only after few days ,she wants me. what a life.....

Real stories...

knowledge deficit...
Went to attend a talk this morning.Ha..... ha..... you know what I have learned?
In Penang Hospital, there is one patient (pt.) who suffer from diabetes. that is ----kencing manis.
Because is "sweet urine" the patient drink 5--6 litres of water per day. He think by drinking a lot of water, he can dilute the sweetness in the urine.He was admitted in the Trauma and emergency department for overloading of fluid intake, causing APO....acute pulmonary oedema.
That is why ,don't become your own doctor!

Pain chart..
once my friend say. hey so and so.. put a pain chart for patient so and so.
She heard only "pachat".. leaping in BM. Hey where..... she look around for a leaping patient. ha.. ha...

Wrong leg..
once my pt. has a broken left ankle. The doctor put POP....plaster of Paris on her right leg.
The next day,we were to ambulate the pt.---nenek... angkat dan cuba jalan.The lady try to walk but she cant..... Then the surgeon come along and see the x-ray film. what? she has a broken left leg. Why POP on the right leg? we all laugh till we" pensang..."the old lady would relate the story to the long house people, that if you have a broken left leg , the hospital will treat your right leg!

Last night...
someone keep calling... Dad ask ...whom is he calling... then I say.... it doesn't sound like Ah kee..... so you don't bother lah... He laugh and laugh....

Raining so heavy....
Last night it rain so heavy. I wait for the rain to stop so that I can go home .But the rain never stop till morning. At the end I ring dad to fetch.... remember I am using motorbike to work. But today I am using car .gtg

G O K.......serial ..5

course......
will be going for course on 22nd to 23rd of November in KL.....approved by boss already.
some matrons go for courses every now and then.This whole year I go only once.After the course we have to give in house training
money....
Meet a staff, she tell me her pay is so much less than her colleague of her age. She is trained in England.Is Europe standard not as good as ours?...but one thing she is working in private hospital. Sometimes it is just your luck. someone no need to be highly educated to earn good money.
Interview......
Hie Chung has her interview till 3pm. Her name is not in the list. That is why she was put to the last. But whatever it is, people interview her is good enough. Praise the LORD. Remember when DD go for interview,mum go with her and accompany her till she finish.
gtg

A hundred thoughts

Spoiled day.....
Mood was spoiled by that gila lady.... Sometimes so good and sometimes so bad..just turn her face to her back can be a few versions.I just pray that she change herself the soonest.
Sometimes talk to you she got pains and aches here and there. we suggest that she should take some medication. ..don't want lah... what a difficult person! Let her be herself and suffer her own way.

sleepless night....
Keep thinking , feel so sorry for late mum and dad. Thinking have a few boys can help him or the Ngu kingdom can grow.But at the end of the day, they turn out so useless,helpless,lazy ,some not doing anything useful at all, egoistic.not listening to advice........ The hell lots of crazy behaviours.
I am telling Mee Sieng if we don't help Hie Chung, who then?.Her mum so high fie talking. having nuts in her mind. If only she can get a job ,at least she can help up the family. The only one we can hope for something.The others, more hopeless.We all pray that she can get the job....pray ,pray for her best undertakings.

work place....
went to another unit. a specialist talk to me, shock me.In our country. we have to follow people being lazy...then we are like the other species. Taking pay with little work. That is what we want. One day we will starve. we are getting poorer and poorer. that is why I always encourage you all, if got a chance,get out of here.

examination next week.....
DD is having her examination next week. worry about her a lot. The economy is hell bad. I don't know if the government will send her to oversea or not. If not then what to do? That is why if we don't have penny, we are difficult. How I wish all my children have the best of education. But I am trying my level best to achieve this.

transport.....
Lately I use motorbike to work .very happy actually. You know what, very easy no need to follow the queue. I just go in between the cars and I reach home fast. Dad is unhappy because he has to follow the queue, frust lah .....

no lateral thinking......
this slow worker of mine,ask everything at work. she cant think a bit out of her coconut shell. Common, don't stay inside your cocoon.....come out today. and tomorrow will be yours.we all must have a bit of lateral thinking.....

I,.....I......
You all know " I " is the least important word in our dictionary.Not everything I ,,I ,, do this ....and I... do that. we are the people...... team work.......

security......
I hate the security of our place. The children are playing in the hospital compound. Imagine that!If I tell them, they look at me as if I do something wrong. very sad country!

Politics.......
our country are getting more and more unstable. The people alive keep blaming the dead people of wrong doing. Hey ! it is easy to do that because the dead people cant open their mouth anymore! They cant argue with you. That is a good idea.Or else it is like Taiwan...... fighting.... and ..fighting. My goodness, what is 21st century! worse than barbarous.

Work hard......
only if you work hard and smart than you are somewhere. But also need opportunity. That is life!
