viewing back..

Eldest sister of Johor Bahru ring me yesterday.She told me a lot of things-- at home and abroad.
Home news
Kerk and his girl friend get registered as husband and wife. 1st couple of his generation of the Ngu family forming a nuclear family from my dad side.This 2 has been together since lower 6. That is around 5 or 6 years back. This 2 gets along very well. Kerk is a nice boy since small.I still remembered--- that time when he was about a year or 2 . Every evening , he cried and cried until he had no more voice or sometimes cyanoced. He cried for many hours at a time and non stop for many months.His mother forever cursed and scolded non stop. If anybody who stayed with her ,knew how grumpy she is.That is her life. mum and me took turn to look after him. We took turn to "shake" him in the sarong.We brought him to see many doctors and took all sorts of medications. Walao.. it was such a task to take care of him! The doctors said he had abdominal colic. They said.. kids that age sometimes has this problem. I am wondering if it was true. Doctors that time not so smart.
When he was no more crying from the 'colic thing', he got asthma. wolao... whenever he goes, he has to bring the 'pubs ' along with him. He is well disciplined. he knew exactly what he has to do--- when to have pubs. When he was 10 years old, he got an accident from the bicycle. He knocked himself against the 'block' to the house car park before he dropped himself into the drain. From there he got ruptured spleen. He had total spleenectomy done. That is why he needs to have vaccines to protect him from pneumonia infection. He has no protection against pneumonia infection. Now that he grown up to a handsome man. God blessed him for every future undertakings.
ASD niece..
A--atrium
S--sepal
d--defect
This niece of mine-- had a ASD--- from birth. She got pregnant when she was in form 5-- same age as DD. On 26/1/2009( 1st day of CNY) give birth to her 2nd baby---BBA( birth before arrival to hospital). Now that the baby is jaundiced, admitted to hospital. The father-- our cousin-- make her mother pregnant when she was in form 4. That is why I keep telling people, don't do funny thing. God is very great. If you can bluff your parents, you can't lie to God. Her husband is not working. I don't know how they live their life.Eldest aunt helped them so much to raise fund for her heart operation when she was a baby. Her operation was done in Singapore. That time, they had to spend, say-- 30--40 sg $ for the operation.They raised around may be 80k. When she is 21 years of age, she can get out the money. If I will she, I want to help people also. But instead , she want to enjoy her different life. That is not what I want in life. That is her life.
4th uncle of mine.
He moved to Miri years back. But they are not having a good life. Their children are bad to them. I heard recently, they rotate among their 3 boy sibling to look after them. But ,mind you ,they are still very strong people. Why they have to be treated like that? God only knows. I don't want to be treated like that. The Chinese are the funny people. They said, must have boys in the family. So that next time when you grow old, your boys will look after you. Is it true? Why I see many boy siblings always squeeze their parents money and not looking after them? why.. why... why.. I see too many things in life. I know too many happenings in life.Mind you their son -in -low is a physician!
5th uncle of mine..
This uncle has many wives-- I heard lately, he had 3 .The youngest is a land dayak... has 2 girls already.I met him when mum passed away last July. I never contact him. May be he doesn't like to be disturbed.Her daughter-- was graduated from England. I heard that she gets married , not celebrating at all. They always like to boss so much. gtg

Before and after..

A heart free from sadness,
a mind free from worries,
a life free from hadred,
a body free from illness,
a spirit full of Gods love,
wish you Happy chinese New year

I like what my friend sms me.

This is my longest CNY leave ever. I usually take few days leave only.Since I have so many leave not taken, I decided to take a long leave for CNY. Will take leave again for Tombs festival.It will be in April.Last year, I have 30 days of leave not taken. So plus this year 35 days, altogether , I have 65 days leave. I sell 15 days for Golden Hand Shake, I still have 50 days for this year.I took only 7 days leave. plus 3 week ends-- that is 6 days-- plus 2 public holidays--total is 15 days. That is to say, I stay at home for 15 days. Ha.. that is very long leave. I enjoy it.
But mind you, this is a rainy leave. It rains nearly everyday! Our clothing cannot get dry at all! But that is life.

I am not so energitic this CNY. I plan to do many things , but it turn out not that fruitful. I get tired easily.I think I am getting old. That is the process of life. I tidy the house for one day, I rest for 2 days. I either feel very tired, or i feel giddy. May be I need a check up.

The mood of CNY is fading. I don't like CNY like before.Last time, CNY , I felt very excited. We will compare how many visitors . we are very interested to buy all sorts of things to eat.Now we dont have that mood anymore.We don't like to eat cookies and other stuff.Even the soft drinks, we don't like to drink anymore.The kids also don't like them. I think, this is because we eat good and nice things everyday.It seems that nothing is nice to eat.

Before CNY, we are very excited to wait for Jia and Nong to come back. When they come back, we feel so happy. Dad cooks everyday. One day cooks many times. Eat and eat....But, today that they have to go back to their place of work, we feel depressed. DD was asking me if I feel sad. Well, we are all human, if we don't feel something, we are different people.But this is life. Parties come and go.

That is why I prefer to work, than to stay at home. At work, we don't feel the lonliness.But I have so many leave, if i don't take, it will be burnt. I got 3 more years to work. I am counting the months. I have sold 135 days leave already. I can sale up to 150 days.By than, I can have some money for me to travel.ya hoo.....

The rat is gone. The OX is with us.We have to work hard. Nong is going to graduate this August. DD is entering degree year.Tommorow is always a better day ahead.

CNY leaves

Taking annual leaves since 19/1/2009 till 30/1/2009.Before I take leave, I got lots of plans of what to do during my leave. 1st day, very energetic---do this and do that. 2nd day , slow down. 3rd day-- flat---no work at all--fell sick. Then , not felling well until today.OMG! I thought that I am still young. But not anymore.I feel sick when I start to work. I don't know why.I feel giddy-- as if the whole house is turning upside down, feel nauseated. The giddiness still comes back on and of. That's why I decided to stop work completely, giving myself a rest.
20th, I go to airport to fetch Ah Kerk. His flight delayed. we went to hospital straight, to give him the three vaccinations. 2 subcutaneous injections and one intramuscular injection. After we came back home, we eat and went to Saberkas to do some shopping. The next day, we send him and his girl friend to airport again.
Yesterday, we went to airport to fetch Jia. We went to Spring today to see around. buying very little thing. We are very tired.gtg

community service..

Wake up at 4am in the morning thinking it is 6am. Dosed off again after that. To work place at 6:30 am. Wait for my friend to pick me to go to Siburan Klinik kesihatan for community work.We reach there around 7:15 am.Lots of people were there already . It is quite a messy situation there. I don't quite like the arrangement. But I am just helping up. So I don't say much.58 nursing staff---matrons, nursing sisters and staff nurses were there to help up.The NGO also join us. Quite a big crowd. We have blood pressure taking, BMI, women clinic, HIV screening, cholesterol and many more other thing .Quite enjoy .we finished around 3pm. I follow one of my friend back. On the way back, is very stuffy. I got sick. Feel nauseated and feel faint. I hardly make my way to hospital where I park my motorbike. I dragged myself to my office to have a rest. On my way to my office, I meet my friend. I ask her to massage me. I rest in my office for an hour before I come back home. OMG! I feel horrible! Luckily, I am Ok now. It is a tough day.

The little thing that can make me happy...
"Mum I jst wana say I love you so much! Thanks for loving me!Muax:D"
txt from Nong. She is just trying to tell me she is ok. I am already very happy. Thank you so much ,Nong Nong.WE love you too. Meeting whole afternoon with my cardiology nursing sisters.
Just like to tell you all, I have lunch with DD this afternoon in Hong Kong Noodles in Seberkas .

Ngu Chian kerk's immunisations..

Last few days have been busy getting things ready. I am getting the vaccines ready for my nephew..He had spleenectomy done in year 1994 after an accident... fell down from bicycle and had his spleen severely injured-- ruptured. So he had his spleen removed. That time ,he had 2 pints of blood given after the operation.May be that time ,the doctors are not really smart. They never give him any vaccines. Years later, we knew that he should be given some vaccines to protect him from pneumonia. If he has pneumonia, the condition will be really serious. So we try to get vaccines for him.He got his 1st dose of Polyvalent pneumococcal( Pneumovax 23) in year 2003 from Johor Bahru GH. Now he is due for follow up vaccines doses. I ask the pharmacist. She give me the whole list of vaccines that are needed. OMG! If I am not in the medical line, I would not know all this.But Praise the Lord that He really guide me to the correct path.He needs the following vaccines.

1.Polyvalent pneumococcal( Pneumovax 23)-- Dose-- 0.5ml-- subcutaneous (Sc) route to be revaccinated Q 6 years. (Rm 92.70)

2. Quadravalent meningococcal polysaccharide(A/C/Y/W-135) --Dose--0.5 ml -Sc to be revaccinated Q 3-5 years. (Rm312.70)

3. Haemophilus b conjugate (Hib TITER)0.5 ml --dose-- 0.5 ml --intramuscular --to be given once in the life time. (Rm 52.00)

.Administered in the deltoid or lateral thigh region.

side effects.. fever, pain at injection site, redness, malaise 1-2 days

OMG! if I didn't ask around, I really don't know. I don't think our Junior doctors know. Sometimes we suggest something to some of the doctors, they are not listening. They thought that they are very grand. But actually NUTES.

Everything unstable...

For the last few days, we have been so unstable.
The weather..
Rain , stop a while , rain again. OMG! Difficult to predict the weather. On 12/1/2009, I slept at work place. Then go home on 13/1 afternoon. The weather was fine. No sign of water. 14/1 , I came to work, OK also. Last night, raining quite heavy again. Today --a bit flooded again. The road near Green Road traffic light was about ,may be ,1/2 car wheel height of water. The cars are slow moving. I am smart. I use motorcycle. I jump the quene. I reach the work place less than 15 minutes. Very happy!
The colleagues..
Some happy , some black face. Why ? I don't know. It seems to me --they are unstable people. One moment, smiling, another moment-- black face , another moment look angry. Waolou, difficult to predict the mood . Another funny thing is that, some give instructions differently one after the other. I have to take a deep breath.
The environment..
Rainy days makes people moody.It seems, every where we go, we meet groomy people. That is the fact of life. Rain and flood to go away soonest please.gtg

Stressful days..

2009 has mark a stressful year for me.For the whole of last week, it has been raining continuously. The clothing smells horrible.In the afternoon, when the rain stopped for a while, we quickly send DD to school. At many places, the water is still high. But we manage to send her to school safe and smooth.
Last night , the flood is high. Every hour ,we go out to check the water level, even though we are not assign to do so. As if it is every body's job to check on the water level. The whole group of people gathered every now and then to see how fast is the tide , how far it has go , which house is immersed in water, bla bla.....Mind you, we go under the rain! Each time, we walk a few steps, the rain comes. Sometimes, we bring umbrella, sometimes ,forget. It is fun!On the ground, we see many things... worms, all sorts of ants, centipedes, beetles.....We go many trips--to and fro to the road junction .
The problem comes this morning. When I wake up in the morning.we find that the water level is still high. The car can't go.So it means that I can't go to work. Around 1:00 something, I decided that I should go to work.So dad bring me with his bike. We don't use car because we are scared, if certain place, if the water is still high, we would be having problem if we use car. Fair enough, it is quite smooth journey.When I reach work place, I was told that more than 70 nursing staff didn't come to work cos of flood. The chief matron asks me to be on duty straight away. She remind me that I am not suppose to go back tonight.I answered her that I am ever ready to stay for the night. Hope things will be smooth out by tomorrow.

Don't complain...

To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: GOD
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE

This is God. Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do Not need your help. So, have a nice day. I love you.. PS. And, remember... If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.


Should you have a bad day at work; think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!

Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you. You may have touched their life in ways you will never know! Now, you have a nice day. God

God has seen you struggling,
God says it's over.
A blessing is coming your way. If you believe in God, please send to other people so you may touch their hearts too.

Stay Blessed

Rushing for deadline.

This few days I have been very stress out. Everyday we rush to meet dead line of this and that. This is Malaysia standard of procedure. I pass up the ACR, than not quite right again.Do again. Then the chief matron say tambah this and that again.OMG! How long I have to continue ? I don't know. Tomorrow when I see her again, she will say something again.Oooooo.
Praise the Lord, that I am born thick skin. Or else I also can't cope with all the funny thing going on.
Hey DD cut her hair! beautiful le.Next week DD is going back to school. next next week ,I am taking my annual leave for 10 days for CNY.
One day, we met the psychiatric specialist. we tell him we want to see him for counseling. He ask--why? we say that we are burnt out. He laughs and tell us that if the boss is not stable, then we are stress. May be it is true. Hey, he knows what actually is our problem. No wander, he becomes specialist in psychiatry.
Yesterday, the UITM col ledge tutors come to meet us. I thought, why on earth is this? Ha ...ha....
I am never too far from guessing. My boss is always correct. Nothing is free in this world. They want us to help them to coach their final year students for their management final semester.
Funny Dr's tales that I want to share with all of you.
Date: Monday, 5 January, 2009, 7:20 PM
1. A man dashes into the A&E dept. and yells,My wife's going to have her baby in the taxi'. I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the taxi, lifted the lady's dress and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly, after protests from the lady, I noticed that there were several taxis and I was in the wrong one.

Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body! Now, the instructions include removal of the old patch before applying a new one.

When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read . . .'Keep off the grass.' Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which read 'Sorry... had to mow the lawn.'

1st Holy communion 2009

We have new Pasteur in the Sungai Maong Methodist Church starting 2009. we have Holy Communion 1st Sunday of each month. hay ,as if our Pasteur is different from the previous one. His talk based on Numbers--13:verse 30-33.
30--But Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said,' let us go up at once and occupy it, for we are well able to overcome it.'
31--' Then the man who had gone up with him said,'we are not able to go up against this people,for they are stronger than we.'
32--So they brought to the Israelites an unfavorable report of the land that they had spied out, saying, " the land that we have gone through as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants ; and all the people that we saw in it are of great size.
33--. There we saw the Nephilim; and to ourselves we seemed like grasshoppers , and so we seemed to them.

He was telling us, in life, we must look at big thing as a whole. we should not see little thing as it affect our feeling . If we want success--
it has 3 T----Think big
Think different
Think simple

Impossible becomes I 'm possible

Make life as simple as that. But in life, we are our greatest enemy. We are difficult to pass our own barrier. If we can fight against ourselves, we are successful.

challenging 2009..

A new year ahead. There are so many things in mind. We have a meeting with our boss yesterday. He has so much to tell us. Well, same old story. But I feel that is important. we need to remind people of what we have said last time, just to remind us what are the good words being said all these while. But younger generation , don't like it at all. They say ,we are grumpy, mak nenek. I personally feel that my boss is a great leader. He lets you know ,at the beginning of the year, what he wants of us. He tells you first, so that you don't have to tell him later on, that you don't know.

Thinking back..... 2008. A tough year. Dad --retired begining of April. jia resigned in May . BB still studying till September. 1k for dad, 1k for Jia, and 1k for BB, Nong one year, 20k. Actually, I am quite worried that time. But I keep praying for everything to go smooth.Now it is all over. I am taking a deep breath now. Praised the Lord that the little girl is sponsored. Or else, it is real tough for me. People always say, the year ahead is always better. I also believe that.

Last night, I can't sleep. I keep worrying about my niece who is now in Sibu nursing school. I ring her many times, she didn't answer. At the end I found out that she is having her orientation week.GBU-- girl, aunty always care for you.

Hey, remember our garden at the back yard?The papaya are big now . The grass is also long. I spend the whole morning , clearing the grass. Now it is nice again. Not long , we will have papaya to eat.

The little girl is daring yesterday. She cuts 2 persons hair! Dad and another Iban boy. She can do it! I always tell her not to be scared of anything. Why..Why.. in this world, we are scared to take the first step. If we have taken the 1st step, the 2nd and the 3rd are easy. You all agree with me?I am born with thick skin. Everything I will go ahead, What is that to be scared of? If we are not wrong, if we are doing the correct thing, go ahead, don't hesitate. God will be with you. I remembered, dad always tell me . Why you so daring? With little money, I can decide to do a few things. I am not worried, God is with me. If we cannot do this and that, what then, wait for what then? In life, we have constraint, but we only live once. But one thing, daring to step out and do it well.

Someone ask me, is it dificult to be a matron? well nothing is easy in this world. Example--- eating--- is it easy to eat? We have to do a lot of preparation b4 food is ready. During eating, we have to use spoon, forks , chopsticks and so on and on...Is life easy?
