July attacks!

June is about to over.. tic toc tic toc.. 1 hour left..

Alhamdulillah... I managed to complete a few things that I had plan for this month.

1. My company was legally established.View here
2. Done my clearance and officially graduated from IIUM
3. Move foward with a new life branding

For that, I thanks to all my friends for your support esp. En.Azu, En.Ep, En.Iq, En.Az and others. (for those who I did not mention, don't worry, you all are still in my heart)

^_^

I am positive this coming July will be full of suprises..

Lets rock the world!

Rezeki kerja...

Alhamdullillah..

Walaupun kos aku merupakan antara kos yang agak sukar untuk mencari pekerjaan, tapi aku sangat bersyukur kerana Allah telah memberikan banyak jalan untuk aku..

Seperti dalam post yang lepas, aku sememangnya merancang untuk berehat dan menyiapkan thesis dalam bulan May.. dan dalam masa yang sama menunggu keputusan interview daripada beberapa institution.. Antara jawatan yang aku mohon:

True colours?

True colours?

Most students ingin grad dengan kelulusan 'flying colours' sebab ianya menjadikan student high-demand dan high-standard. Maybe graduated dengan 1st upper class is a bonus and can be considered as flying colours. For those yang berjaya, tahniah di ucapkan..


This is just my opinion...

I prefer to grad with my own or true colors. My results supposedly reflecting my capabilities and strength.. If I deserved to get excellent, then I believe God will give it for me. To work in real world, it is not that easy. To be 1st class grad also is not that easy too. Lots people will be putting a high expectation towards the 1st class as compared to the lower class.. That is why I choose to be in my true colors.. (not to mention about my class).. hehe..

I still remember an advice given by the deputy dean of Academic Affairs, KAHS.. Do pray to God.. Ask Him to give the best for you..

To all my friends, be happy with our result. If u did not get the 1st class degree, just believe that God always give the best to us. He knows better right? Keep on improving and enhancing ourselves. Everyone has their own uniqueness.. We cannot be the same but we can have the same goals..

Ok.. thats all..

Buhbye!

p/s: bosan dengan 'selesa'

Mesej yang berbeza

Beberapa minggu lepas, aku sempat menonton intro satu rancangan bual bicara tentang 'khasiat daging kambing'.. Sempat la tonton kata-kata aluan host tentang topik tu.. Ada beberapa 'wording' yang aku rasa akan mengelirukan penonton.. Cuba bezakan ayat di bawah ini:

'Daging kambing mempunyai kandungan kolesterol yang rendah'

'Daging kambing dapat mengurangkan kolesterol'

Ada beza tak?

Ok.. So, berhati-hati ketika berbicara.

My Apology...

Dedicated to all my classmates...


Assalamualaikum wbt.

I just heard most of you did not feel 'OK' with my way on 'sharing' my knowledge during the last presentation session. So, I am sorry for that. I did not mean to condemn you guys or show off myself. It was just a sharing.

To my lecturer, my apology too if I had done something 'unpleasant' during the session..

I will just be quiet after this.

Its a GOOD ENDING...

Alhamdullillah.. Hari ni merupakan hari yg terakhir aku praktikel di University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC).. Walaupun agak terlewat dari tarikh yang sepatutnya, tapi I am very satisfied (if ada rank 1-5, i ll definitely give 6!) with the ending.. Why?

1. Today I only come for my case presentation. I was not very confident with my management.. Since the case was not really mine at the first place.. huhu... However, I managed to present the case well (I guess). Though I were asked with a few unexpected questions from the dietitians (standard la tu.. org tanya means they are interested to know kan?? hee~), I still able to answer it.. So, it was a pretty good ending for me la..

2. Having a sharing moment with our beloved H.O.D selama almost 1 hours. I think, previous students did not get the chance like us. Though it was a bit lenghty (sampai E dan H pun resah, haha..) but for me, bukan senang nak dapat peluang macam ni.. Especially bila HOD sanggup luangkan masa dengan students walaupun dia busy dengan kerja-kerja lain.. Bukan senang tau!. The contents tu tak boleh la nak revealkan.. Biarlah menjadi memori among us jer la yekk!..

3. Our HOD bagi chocolate to us.. wee~... Actually dia baru balik dari oversea.. Tak sangka ada gak rezeki kami.. =)

4. I did learn a lot from the practical.. seriously. Walaupun pd awalnya my decision to change to PPUM (from HKL) dpt tentangan or respon negative daripada sisters kelas aku.. But it doesnt affect me much!.. I deserve to choose.. 1st come 1st served. Thats the rule. If ada classmates yg terbaca, sorry yer.

5. PPUM is one of the best teaching institution.

My special thanks to our HOD, Cik Siti Hawa who was very supportive during the practical session.. =)

p/s: Perkataan yang tidak boleh dilupakan ialah 'tembak'.. ahahaha!

Pesanan utk rakan-rakan dan adik-adik

Baru perasan betapa post-post sebelum ini kurang unsur-unsur emosi.. berbanding ketika menjalankan latihan praktikel di Hospital Selayang, hampir hari-hari jiwa kacau .. Mungkin praktikel di PPUM lebih menenangkan dan minda di isi ilmu-ilmu baru yang dipelajari.. So, tiada ruang untuk beremosi.. (Tiada niat untuk memburukkan mana-mana hospital ye, sila baca entri sampai habis).. Tambahan, 'rakan-rakan' pula semakin ada kemajuan soft skill untuk bersosial.. satu perkara yang bagus (tapi masih lagi boleh di improve).

So, entri kali ni just nak share a few things to my friends dan adik-adik yang menjalani atau akan menjalani latihan praktikel...

1. Setiap tempat latihan ada kelebihan dan kekurangan masing-masing. Jadi, gunakanlah kelebihan dan kekurangan tersebut sebagai panduan apabila kalian menjadi seorang dietitian kelak atau apa-apa bidang pekerjaan sekalipun (mungkin ada yang tidak berminat utk menjadi dietitian).

2. Apabila sudah praktikel di satu tempat yang dikatakan 'bagus', usah membangga diri!.. Kongsi lah ilmu tersebut dengan rakan-rakan anda. Mungkin ada di antara kita yang kurang bernasib baik kerana mendapat tempat praktikel yang kurengg. . Paling penting, "Jangan ingat kau tu bagus sangat!!" (dengan emosi..)

3. Ilmu teori dan praktikel perlulah bergerak seiring. Teori sememangnya teramat penting. Tanpa teori yang bagus, kemungkinan praktikel boleh jadi agak kelam-kabut. Praktikel hari-hari hanya untuk memahirkan diri dalam mengaplikasi ilmu yang dipelajari di kelas. Kalo tak der ilmu, camna nak praktikel kann??? Ada juga saya jumpa student yang teori nya power habis, tapi bila praktikel... alahai.. nak pegang patient pun takut-takut.. macam mana tu?? huuu~ sesuatu yg boleh kita fikirkan..

4. Soft skill sangat penting!!.. Siapa yang suka duduk kat bilik, tidak bersosial (maksudnya tidak suka berinteraksi dengan pelbagai lapisan masyarakat seperti kanak-kanak, orang tua, remaja dan etc.), anda perlu lakukan sesuatu!... Sila berubah!

5. Untuk golongan muslimah dan muslim yang 'teramat menjaga mualamat' seperti.. tak boleh pegang patient lelaki, tak boleh cakap dengan patient perempuan.. mungkin anda perlu fikirkan profession yang lain.. Sekadar cadangan.. Kerana, apabila kalian praktikel, sudah pasti akan berdepan dengan pelbagai jenis jantina (lelaki, perempuan, bapuk, penkid pun ada!).. haha

Tu je lah pesanan untuk kalian semua.. semoga berjaya menghabiskan sesi pembelajaran.. =)

p/s: Maaf sekiranya entri ini membuatkan anda terasa hati.. Hanya berkongsi ilmu dan nasihat berdasarkan pengalaman praktikel yang tidak seberapa.. Ambil yang jernih, letak tepi yang keruh.. I am str8 to da point ok.. Dah penat berkias-kias..

Sekian..........

Pening-pening (Siri 1)

Pening-pening (Siri 1)

Dis wik agak pening-pening sket.. Oleh kerana tak master lagi bahagian Paeds, sememangnya agak rumit sikit untuk menganalisis data and membuat intervention..

Cuma, ada a new thing yang aku di 'suruh' buat oleh Cik CT iaitu mengambil sample najis seorang bayi.. Adakah itu kerja dietitian?? haha.. mestilah tak!!.. tapi aku buat kan juga.. Plus, dapat pengalaman baru yang mungkin tiada di hospital-hospital lain.. (ada tak rakan-rakan yang kena buat??? tak der kan???.. =p) Walaupun pada awalnya agak keberatan, tapi spirit untuk belajar mengatasi segalanya.. (Ayat semangat)

Cantik kan gambar ni?? hehe...

Apa yang Cik CT suruh tengok actually is how you define the feces colour, consistency and smell.. (tapi aku tak buat part smell, tak sanggup!) keh3x... Usually in doctors' sheets ada tulis la how the stools look like and it is very important to distinguish the pattern of the stools to determine the actual or disease-related problems and it may help in your intervention later on..

One task yang tak dapat nak buat ialah mengambil gmbar feces patient aku oleh kerana dia sudah discharge.. So, just baca old notes jer la.. (selamat...)

Ok la.. Tu je entri kali ni.. Nantikan siri 2 pula..

What a relief..!

While lying supine on my bed, suddenly i received a sms which I've been waiting for a week...

20-Feb-2011 5.50pm

"Your thesis is ready for submission. No correction needed. Everything's fine"

From Mdm.F

Thanks~!

Its February!!

Its February!!..

"DON'T HOLD BACK"

Im gonna all out till April.. (academically).. So, be careful of me..

Lazy syndrome

huuuu... tajuk yg paling tak best!.. benda yg paling malas nk buat ialah case study report! Bila dah malas, buat last2 minit... pastu jd life jd kelam-kabut... (padan muka!)... Simply put, I have LAZY SYNDROME...

But I wonder, nape la byk sgt kene buat case report... Not to blame anyone k. Outpatient kene wat 3 cases, Inpatient 2 cases, special unit 1 case.. Tak termasuk lagi presentation.. If time praktikel tu tak bz, bleh la gak consider utk focus wat report.. Stp hari average kene cover 5 new cases.. tu tak termasuk busy day lagi.. bleh cecah 8 cases satu hari tau!... nak follow-up plak lagi satu hal...

Pastu, ade plak assignment dari HOD (not to mention her name).. but tak dinafikan la that she is good and very caring. Cuma bab2 bagi kerja or assignment, she's no.1.. haha... So, nak tak nak, terpaksa terkejar-kejar time praktikel ni.. Malam plak dah penat.. nak buat report pun tak larat.. dinner pastu tidooooo.. Zzzzz....

I think utk report writing ni 2 for OPD and 1 for IPD is enough.. Senang untuk student, mudah utk lecturer yg nak menanda.. kan??.. Tak yah la student pening2 cari masa utk wat report.. Exceptional la utk student yg praktikel kat hospital yang tak brapa nak bz.. mayb diorang ada masa lebih sket utk fikir and follow up case thoroughly..

So, wikend je la masa yang ada nak wat report.. tu pun kalo rajin and cukup bahan.. kalo tak, kene la tunggu hari bekerja untuk cari maklumat pesakit.. Senang citer, hari-hari kene pikir pasal patient and diet.. Tak der life la langsung!...

Ok lah.. Hope dapat la siapkan case reportsssssss dan presentation yang kene hantar lagi beberapa minggu ni..

Oh Halim: Belajarlah!

Salam sejahtera semua....

Merujuk pada entri sebelum ini yang bertajuk oh kawan, aku rasa nak membuat entri sambungan kisah Halim.. (setelah berbincang dgn E) if possible, nak menovelkan cerita ni.. haha... Tapi yang penting, message yang nak disampaikan daripada kisah ini yer..

Part 2- Oh Halim: Belajarlah lagi!

Setelah 3 minggu Halim, Raduan dan Hazim berpraktikel di tempat kerja, mereka bertiga mendapat beberapa teman baru yang juga turut membuat latihan praktikel di situ. Aku namakan mereka, Bun, Shin, Chang (buat masa ni, 3 org dulu yerr). Keadaan ofis bertambah sesak. Tapi suasana semakin meriah... Malah, wujud persaingan sihat diantara pekerja pelatih.. Masing-masing mempunyai gaya dan karakter tersendiri... Ada yang kelakar, poyo , serius dan macam-macam lagi.. senang cerita, 'Macam-macam ada'..

Pada suatu hari, tinggal beberapa orang sahaja pekerja pelatih di ofis, Raduan, Halim, Chang dan Shin... Halim sibuk menyiapkan tugasan menulis report di komputer.. Manakala Raduan, Chang dan Shin berbincang tentang kisah klien mereka... Ada satu klien Chang yang menarik perhatian Raduan.. Klien ni menghidap kanser ... Chang menerangkan tentang rawatan pemakanan terhadap pesakit ni..

Raduan: Chang, u dapat klien apa tadi?
Chang: Oh.. td I dapat klien kanser lo... (baca dialek cina yerr)
Raduan: Oh... so mcm mana keadaan klien u?
Chang: urm... LOA, jd I bagi dia peptamen..
Raduan: urmm.. kenapa u tak bagi Prosure ea?
Chang: sebab dia ada kanser pankreas...
Raduan: Ohhhh.. patutla... kesian kan klien u tu..

Tiba-tiba Halim dari jauh menyampuk perbualan mereka:

Halim: Kenapa ea bagi peptamen?
Raduan: Sbab dia kan ada kanser pankreas...
Halim: kenapa kalau ada kanser pankreas bagi Peptamen?
Raduan: huuu... (bermonolong dalaman... Halim, ni benda basic, takkan kamu tak tahu!)

So, Raduan pun menerangkan semula tentang pankreas pada Halim.. Nasib baik perbualan itu di kalangan pekerja pelatih sahaja, kalau di depan bos macam mana? apakah impression bos pada Halim?? huuuu.. Banyak lagi soalan-soalan (yg tak sepatutunya) daripada Halim.. Cuma cerita ini diringkaskan untuk kefahaman pembaca..

Moral of the story:

1. Bila dah masuk praktikel, benda-benda basic macam pathophysio should not be a problem or alasan yang slalu student bagi 'Tak hingat!'.. Sampai bila nak di 'spoon feeding'.. Dah nak grad pun... (kalau sikit-sikit tak pe la..)

2. Be creative la sikit.. Pikir logic.. bleh je kaitkan keadaan pesakit dengan physiology yang dah belajar time first year dulu.... Baru la nmpak cam ada knowledge sikit (wlaupun tak tahu in detail)... ok

Oh Halim: Belajarlah lagi!!

..................... Nantikan sambungan episod seterusnya..

Oh Ilmu!

Dah hampir 2 minggu praktikel di hospital Selayang... Terasa singkat masa berlalu.. Byk lagi yg perlu dicari... Dalam masa yang sama, ketabahan dan kesabaran menjadi teman rapat dikala diri menjadi rujukan (referred) untuk pesakit... So, perlu 'something' to keep da flame always on da wheel...

"Adakalanya kesalahan itu membuatkan seseorang membaiki diri. Tidak pernah rasa bersalah itu boleh mendatangkan 'sombong diri'. Itulah kesilapan yang tidak disedari!.."

"It's only a failure if you don't learn somethin"

Moga semuanya di permudahkan... Ameen.. Oh Ilmu! I love u..

Oh kawan!

A story of 3 org students: Halim, Raduan, Hazim

Halim, Raduan dan Hazim merupakan 3 orang student yang baru praktikel kat sebuah syarikat. Masing-masing mempunyai karakter yang berbeza. Raduan dan Hazim berasal dari U.K manakala Halim berasal dari Myanmmar. Pada suatu hari, Cik telah memberi assingment pada mereka bertiga dan perlu dihantar keesokkan harinya. Di sebelah malam, Raduan terus membuat assignment yg diberikan dan merancang utk hantar pd hari yang ditetapkan. Pada hari tersebut, Raduan bertanya pada Hazim dan Halim tentang status assignment mereka. Halim dan Hazim belum sempat menyiapkan assignment dan Raduan pun membatalkan niatnya untuk hantar kerana ingin menunggu rakan-rakannya menyiapkan tugasan tersebut. Takkan nak score sorang-sorang pulak kan??! Masuk hari ketiga, tanpa berbincang dengan Raduan dan Hazim, tiba-tiba....

Halim: Saya nak hantar assignment yg cik bagi kelmarin... tapi tak print lagi
Cik: Boleh2x... print kat sini pun tak per..

Raduan & Hazim: @$%^##

Raduan dan Hazim terus keluar daripada syarikat setelah mendengar perbualan Halim. Huuhuu..

Raduan berasa sungguh kecewa dengan sikap Halim yang membuat keputusan tanpa berbincang. Setelah kejadian itu, Raduan dan Hazim lebih berjaga-jaga dengan sikap Halim...

p/s: Inilah masalah orang yang tak faham common sense dan tak fikir panjang! Sibuk dengan hal diri sendiri!..

Bell's palsy

Have u ever heard bout this disease?? hehe...

Smalam waktu my family gather kat kampung, one of my niece was diagnosed penyakit ni.. huhu.. pity her... Luckily i've learned bout this disease when i was in 1st year.. PBL (Problem Based Learning). Thanks to the cc. So, i had a discussion with her mom bout da disease.. bla bla bla... it's very interesting!

actually, ape yg aku nak smpaikan is.. dont forget a thing of what u have learned! Since nowadays students just take for granted things that are not related to them... they just learn for the purpose of completing the course.. (not all yer...)

TQ ^_^

50% Decided

From the 1st year I keep thinking on to become a dietitian or not... huhu.. since the course is not in my mind at the first place..

Last day I had a practical exam at the Hosp. Tengku Ampuan Afzan.. The case is very simple (for me) because I've been through the same case for the past 3 weeks during my OPD practical..

However, due to the referral note, I get confused on what to put the priority of the case.. Why? because in the referral note it stated to do the counseling for disease XXX which is less important than other diseases.

I was wrong when i did the counseling whereby I left out the most important priority of the disease for my intervention (though in the answer sheet I put the correct intervention) since I was already confused whether just to follow the referral note or do it based on the priority.

I was 'scolded' by the dietitian for the wrong 'practical' intervention. Even though I justified everything, it was fruitless. I was down all the day.. Letting myself in hypermetabolic state. Keeping my phone OFF and secure my room.

Due to the incident, I am now have 50% decided not to become a dietitian because I am not competent enough. And lots of thing I need to learn within few months to go just to let myself pass the degree..

This evening I've got a class to discuss the mistakes and homework. Hope I'll be able to manage my emotions............................

I am OK if the mistakes I'd done due to my fault. Think twice!

Thank you
