DisCOMFORT of sToMacH.. ...

It had been 48hours... where my stomach was dived in discomfort zone... ..

Period pain? Food poisoning? or excessive blood loss? Last two days ago.. I had drawn out 150mL of blood.. n in the afternoon.. i just realized it was my "period" period.. ... but i thought it wont be the main reason for the discomfort...

I felt hard to figure out the pain... it was not the usual stomachache... ... I seemed lost to describe it.. ... anyway... i had beared with it calmly on these two days.. ...

"Isnt it the consequences of taking a lot of cold drink during APPS in Indonesia there last week? as I rarely and seldom have cold drink and food... ..." (T_____T).. ...

The last powerful stomach pain happened to me on last year December... and now was another half year where the attack came to me again.. ... it sounded that the "attack" hit me twice a year.. ... but... last night... the intense discomfort made me dropping my tears again... it was "superpain"... till my mind ran into blank.. ...

Now, i was getting better... ... relieved...

... Give me a hug... may the disCOMFORT dissappear sOOn.. ..

the PCE module will be in my final year on the coming semester.. ..emm, truly, i didnt have any experience and guidance previously to counsel the patient... but I tried and gained some experience too... n what relieved me was that all of us were given the case note reference one day before... anyway, i didnt have much time to prepare for it... spending 2hours only to write my points and memorize all the facts... 12minutes of counselling were kinda short... ...

although I lost in the competition, but it was worth to gain experience and build some confidence to counsel patient... thx Eric, judge of PCE who kindly gave me some comments..

Feeling cold for a Monday...

The weather was cold and damp... in addition to the freeze environment in OP section today... I was liked freezing out... * CHILLING*... Cold... ...

I missed my friends so much on yesterday night... friends... esp my hometown friends... bee ling, yutian, mei ling, wai yan, ying ying, yen tyng n etc etc... my matric friends... caroline, mai mai, kui teng, mei tey, seow hui, jia mei n etc... I missed you guys so much... some of them were graduated and started to work... some were enjoying their holidays... some were in internship... some were losing in contact... some were... ... ...

Friends.. how much do I miss you all... I hope that... you are all staying healthy and fine all the time... ... Take care... ...

Emm.. feeling weird in such a sudden today... I thought I was just thinking too further of it... soon after my last day of hospital attachment on this coming friday... the next day... saturday morning... around 4.30am.. i will be leaving m'sia... attending a 7days 6 nights Asia Pacific Pharmaceutical Symposium (APPS) in Jogjakarta, Indonesia... .. with Zakiah, Qing liang n Li Wen... ...

emm... i felt a bit worried... perhaps... thinking too much... the place is an earthquake spot... n last saturday, i saw a news from online the star reporter saying that there was unpredictable geographical change that might take place soon... ... "loll, i'm thinking so much... ..right?" ... ...

Dont forecast... ... perhaps... ... ... sometimes... life is a fate... ... but... thinking positively and looking forward are what should I be having right now.. ...

If.. anything do happen to me... ... my lovely family members and dearest friends... I would like to tell you all... I love you... ... muacks... ...

In Patient Hospital attachment...

~~ Group 5 ~~

Everyone was asking... "Do yours get paid for your attachment? " ... ... Money is important... but the value of it... sometimes... we had overestimated it.. ... truthly, everyone need money to survive... but at the end of the day... when I was involved in unpaid attachment... I felt satisfied.. glad to be having the chance to expose to the working field where I would be in the coming future...

5 days of in-patient unit attachment... sounding a bit short... but when we made used of every moment we spent there... I did learn.. ... Talking about learning... actually... learning started from a simple heart... sometimes... certain things seemed like easy... but when you were doing.. it turned out to be a different story.. ... to be in a new work place... humble to learn... asked whenever doubt arised.. The hand-on experience gained... was precious to me... ...

Day 1 of mine was stationed in DD- dangerous drug section... day 2-screening the prescription and packaging the drug... although the job was just as simple as one's thought of taking the drug from the rack.. but it needed speed... at the very beginning... I was slow like a snail... bombarded by all the drugs here n there... but late in the evening... (^^)... showed improvement in my speed... Never looked down on the diploma students from mahsa college and uitm who were attached there with us too... they were familiar to their work and I learned a lot from them too... thank to the hearty for them... ...

Day3- IPC and sterile complex.. getting some stories from previous grp saying that they'l ask question during this section.. *Loll*... the previous night... I revised the slides and did some on9 searching... the biggest gift I received on that that day was we met with Mei, who was in charge in sterile complex... at the beginning, she looked fierce.. but she was "soft" actually... admiring her physic theories.. Plz.. dont get shocked when I told you that their cleaning process was based on physic theory... she told us some stories before we left... the case where death took place... who to be blamed for... theirs... who did thankless job...

"Your hand can kill and save".. "be responsible and be alert all the time"... in fact.. they were not sounding easy and simple.. ... i gotta to have a depth sense of something... residing in my heart there.. ... She gave me another stimulation and maturity... I loved her tough way of conveying truth... short talk that ran deep into the heart... woww, at the end, I thought she "restructured" "bit" of our attitude.. Dont you think so, my groupmates? Her words were influencial...

Day4- TDM.. having the chance to go to lab while delivering test tube of patient's blood who was on TDM drug... "AhaH"... it was what that learned during last 2 semester... Clinical pharmacokinetic... that came to play its role... ... knowledge and application were one chunk of it... but experience to adjust the dose was of utmost "green button" to save a patient's life... what was calculated sometimes was not applicable.. ... seriously, it needed experience.. ...

In the evening, ward round to distribute the dangerous drug to ward's counter... it would be my first time to find out how Menara Timur and Menara Utama's ward looked like although I had been studied in um there for the past 3 years... emm... it was not too late to know... right? station by station, we stopped at CICU-cardiac intensive care unit.. it was where i met with a young baby, ran urgently for a surgery... due to heart bleeding... And seeing other patients in the wards there...

That particular night after the ward round, it strengthened my mind... maybe I was not a great people... but I just hope to be able to take care of all the people around me, remind them to stay health and help them whenever I can within my limit... Health is the biggest wealth...

Day5- methadone section... never thought that government had launched this methadone programme for the drug addict... purpose of harm reduction... and that day, I met with the drug addicts who came over the counter and collect their methadone.. Although half of the day was hectic, non-stop meeting the drug addicts and involving in recording their record and diluting the methadone, but indirectly, it was like a good deed helping them to suppress the withdrawal effect... I could detect... some were determined to stop drug.. hopefully, they could make themselve a new life.. n the rest of us (society), dont give up too in giving them hope... Forgiving their past... giving chance for them to turn over a new leaf if they were willing too...

I felt tired at the first two days of attachment... as standing from morning till evening... but the following day, getting used to it... future working life will be similar to that situation... perhaps tired... busy... or ... Anyway, as what Mei said, job satisfaction was the main source of energy that drive someone to work passionately...

Earning money is not that easy... but it is like a gift of life to have chance to dive in noble job... be it a noble... life-saving... satisfaction... or other else... all depend on how one's hope to be... ...

It was a weekend... rest and relax... (>.<) before another round in out-patient attachment on next week ... and everyone... wishing yours to stay healthy all the times.. ... ...

NoGAPS 2011.. TO INFINITY AND BEYOND ...

Finally... NoGAPS 2011 had come to the end... a 5 days 4 nights event... which took place at UM this year...

Relieved... i was relieved... ... ~~ huuu~~... ... although the preparation for it was tiring... ...but... at the end... ... our effort growed... the event was successfully ran... no matter how tired before, it worth than a thousand when I saw all of us- high committee, AJK members n participants, cherished throughout the event... ...

I was totally glad... when all the things came to me smoothly... ... Deep inside my heart... I would like to say a billions of thank you to all the members of my bureau... without them, no matter how well was my arrangement and planning on certain things, it couldnt run that speedy n systematic... ... *Muackss*... LOVE you guys... (^_^)

Day 3, 11/6/2011: Community Outreach Programme (COP)... at Jinjang Utara, Selangor... although it was somewhat hard to help them, but I believed, when everyone of us contributed just a little bit of LOVE for them... the situation would change... "Endless love, endless hope..." poor was not a matter of disease... I just hope that whenever they need health care advice, they could seek help from many parties...

I prayed for them sincerely... ... wishing that their life was getting improved... sooner or later... may all the kids there... receiving proper education system.... they were innocent... lovely... looking at them... playing happily... n i wished that they could live healthy in the near future... Loving them... ...

Day 4, 12/6/2011: GALA night of NoGAPS, at depalma hotel, Ampang... it marked the end of the event.... Wowww... finally... ...

Above was a brief of NoGAPS 2011... actually.. I had made myself a document of it- NoGAPS 2011 which consisted of 45pages long... from the first day,25 June 2010, I took up the responsibility to become head of logistic bureau till the end of the event, 13 June 2011...
When I went through all that I had written... ... part of the experience... sweet memories... sad story sometimes... how did I deal with certain difficulties... at the end... I found out... I grew from a seed... and slowly turned to a little pinkish flower that I loved...
Thank you for having the chance of learning and facing all those thing in my life... and I was glad to become part of you in organizing the event... truly speaking... .... LOVING you all... ...

May the memories we shared together ~~ last forever and ever ~~

~~ TO INFINITY AND BEYOND ~~

That's... if the blogger allowed... I might be uploading the 45 pages long diary here... ...

Pre-NOGAPS...

N most importantly, try the very BesT on all the arrangement jobscope... not only own bureau of mine... logistic... but helping each other whenever possible... ... Never let the tiredness to lag us down... ... stay healthy all the times... immune system strength come from own power... if feeling of sick... just tell yourself... it was not the time for sickness to visit you... chased it away... ...

First time headed to Jinjang there today... promoting our Community Outreach Programme (COP)... it rained by the time we reached there... and having meeting with the ketua rumah panjang... n brief of the people there... Nothing to be afraid of... actually...
