I am a big spender. I admit.
To cover my guilt, I ONLY bring RM10 to work, never more but often less. So that I would spend appropriately on food. Eat only from the warungs and no pizzas, mcDs or nandos.
and...
I don't bring my purse to work. No ATM. No credit card. GOOD !
Which also means, I don't bring along my license when driving .. For the past... *counting fingers*
Seven months !! ...
I do but very very seldom. Probably once a month I drive to work with driving license along.
and I have been walking around without my MyKAD too !...tsk tsk tsk
you may wonder what kind of person I am silently. "Unique" HUH -_-
Oh well, let's hope my working ID will save me when I'm in trouble ;))
Reason why I don't bring purse because I don't bring a bag to work. I go to hospital , bag-less.
So much hassle to stop by in the medical staff's room-park my bag-work-take my bag-go home. H.A.S.S.L.E!
and it is adding more weight on my shoulder.
I go to work with my white-coat on. Which contains stethoscope, 2 small note books, punch card, a lot of pen, 2 phones, a charger, a lot of scribble papers,car keys and sometimes my medical handbook. WEIGHT!!
and, I like it not wearing any bag ! so, people wouldn't know if I'm running late, or if I'm going off early than I should have. SMART kannnnnn? (i hope none of my bosses find out about this post)
Bag-less and RM10 to work daily is a double win, for me =)

Scent
A scent registers in our memory area including the environment you were in , the people you were with and maybe the feeling you had at that time. Brain do wonders huh ;)
In my case, it is always true. For some reason I believe human registers better memory with something simple i.e pictures and scent.
Just recently, hubby and I had our weekend getaway at Tanjong Jara Resort, Terengganu and we used body cream sample from L'erbolario called Papavero after shower and it smells super nice. First time with papavero. While I was unpacking at home, I smelled Ijul's used pjs and it smelled papavero. First thing that came to mind was Tg Jara !!, great time we had there flashed back. Missed.
Sometimes, when u smell something familiar for example a person wearing a perfume which another person wears, you can catch it up pretty quickly.
Another scenario was when I went to my Uncle's doa selamat few months back. Greeted and salam-ed him and he smelled like Kaabah. He wore perfume bought @ Mekkah which have a scent smell similar to kaabah.
Tears started to pool, memories flashed back to blissful and peaceful environment. Place that I greatly missed.
Have you heard that when you are leaving your small child for a while, cover him/her with your used clothes so that he/her won't have trouble sleeping at night?
I believe scent is a powerful tool and so I usually tried my best to wear only "my signature" perfume which I ought to find (love wearing different kind of perfume) but so far, I have been loyal to my body cream I bought from L'erbolario. You know, so that people will miss me or remember me even more HAHA.
Honestly, after trying L'erbolario, I don't feel like downgrading myself.
I have tried bodyshop and now I just go there for their vitamin E and great body mists, Crabtree? - nothing great much. L'occitane?- more to scent but moisture ? NAY!
L'erbolario "Petali & Fiori" was awesomatic ! I loved it and most importantly, Ijul loved it too ! you should try L'erbolario ! I am planning to get papavero soon !
For room/home scent, very very important. Makes us feel at home , a comfort feeling.
I always trust "karma karmet" for their great scent in living area. Owns by Bambang Soteto , remember him from Hairkunst entry last year? Yes, the owner of hairkunst is also managing karma karmet .. They have a shop at Tropicana Mall. Nothing beats karma karmet. I have tried those 100-200RM range , none last longer and especially not in my memory space.
I feel a scent is a great way to create memory and to flashback great memories.
Spread some nice scents !

Dian Pelangi Malaysia ;)
Alhamdulillah, Mama has opened a boutique !!
She was aired in Nona 2 weeks ago, and now the shop is finally open !!!
Dian pelangi is a brand from Jakarta , owned by Dian herself who is a very talented, pretty and very young lady too ! Dian pelangi offers colourful outfit which mostly find them unique and irresistable. And even before my mom brings the shop to Malaysia, Dian already has many followers especially among hijabers. Her hijab style is Fantageous ! She brings style to hijab !
Saturday , 10th March 2012, Dian pelangi malaysia was officially opened in Bangsar Jalan Telawi by TYANA.
TYANA is a unique name whereby the owners combined their names to one. TY is from KATHY, my mom's nick, and Ana is from Datin Ana Zakaria. They have been awesome together and have worked really hard to ensure their dream of opening a boutique be true. And what you see today, is their dream came true.
I took a leave for this special event, which was the soft launching of Dian Pelangi MALAYSIA.
We waited for the guests to be settled from 2pm-245pm. Our guest of honor on that day was Datin NorJuma. And she is another beauty inside out that I adore personally.
We had few delegates from Indonesia Embassy, fellow medias, relatives, friends and Dian followers which also Liked Dian Pelangi Malaysia page.
The event went well Alhamdulillah ! The two mommies opening speech were sweet and motivational.
The fashion show was a jaw-dropped. I really had my jaw opened during the runaway.
There were 7 models , 3 were Malaysians who were not well trained model but still looks just like one of them. And 4 indonesian models who studied in Malaysia, tall, and can model very well too!!!! With all of them wearing Dian collections, they all were just mesmerizing ! All DP collections were to die for !!
I feel like I want all of what they were modelling. Even a crumpled hijab looked stylo ! hehe..
The event ended at 5.30pm which followed by a high-tea and 10% OFF for Dian Pelangi collections ! First day was ALHAMDULILLAH. I could not express more but I am definitely proud ;)
A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Mama and Aunty Ana ;)
They organised a hijab workshop by Dian which was free of charge on the next day 11/3/2012. I was not able to attend as I had to work. But I heard the turn out was great ! 40 ++ hijabers attended the workshop !
Do visit us !! I'll be around during my off days which will not necessarily falls on weekend.
We are situated at BUTIK DIAN PELANGI, No 17-1, Jalan Telawi 2, Bangsar.
Same row as Devi's corner, above Lanna Restaurant , Next to Mimpi kita, Opposite La Bodega ;)

tough call
we get difficult calls sometime that we were forced to face.
calls which is difficult for us and for the patient's relatives.
there was this one particular time of the day, where this patient suddenly desaturated, and then collapsed.
we attempted intubation and infused inotropes to keep the heart beating and keep the blood flow good.
That patient, lasted through the day.. but when night came by, fate turned around.
His peripheries suddenly became cold and blue, he desaturated even on high oxygen flow.
His heart slowed, his pressure went haywire and we attempted CPR and maximised the inotropes.
After 20minutes of CPR, he did not revived but his heart showed electrical activity. His eyes were fully dilated.
He had pulse which were very very feeble , that some of us thought it was just our imagination as it was too difficult to palpate.
We continued CPR for another 20minutes, and one of us stopped the inotropes.
Formally, CPR is commenced for 20 minutes before we confirmed death.
After another 20minutes CPR, he did not revived and electrical activity to the heart started faded and later, went flat lined.
Question is, are we at fault for stopping the inotropes? in most cases, they never revived after 20minutes of CPR even on maximised inotropes.
In my view, we are not wrong. We could just let inotropes run and stop CPR, and the heart will eventually stop too. Eyes were dilated is already a sign of brain death. A brain death is as good as death. And it is normal for a heart to show some activity after a person already dead because organ died at different time. and by continuing inotropes, will just make the process longer.
tough call huh?

alhamdulillah after few months of marriage, i acquired cooking skills which are ppppprrrretty satisfying *chin up*
I always believe that when your 'nawaitu' is right, which is to please your husband, insyaAllah everything goes purfectly.. (God knows how many time I recited "bismillah" while cooking, ehehehe)
and of course, a great cook comes from a great food eater/taster/critisizer !
what surprised me even more is that HE CAN COOK and a BETTER COOK ..
hushfully, thank god . hehehehe..

work is yay
I'm entering my 5th month of housemanship. Just ended surgery, and now in medical department.
Initially, I was a lil skeptical of work and how I would perform and how my life would be once work started.
But Alhamdulillah, it has been smooth sailing and have been unexpectedly good.
New cases to see, new people to meet, understanding colleagues and bosses and how to work with and around them and etc etc. The downside of my work is how my biological clock has never been normal and we all knew that from start of medical school.
My working hours were 7am-6pm most of the days but some days were 11am-11pm and 10am to 10pm. Government has imposed this new work schedule for housemen in order to accomodate the high medical graduates and to ensure everyone gets equal opportunity to the workload and experiences.
and the time when we were supposed to go back is the minimum time.If there were cases to see, patients to treat or to settle their discharges, pending works, patient collapsed , reports to write etc etc etc... then we had to go back later than we were supposed to.
I seldom complained of how nasty my work or how terrible my schedules are. And i think, none of us should. If those who complained a lot, probably they had chosen the wrong road to begin with. Except for when I had a terrible day, I do let some grumbling out. Not everyday is perfect.
I love medical. I have prefer medical since I start learning medicine.
For those who might be confused, doctors have so many fields to choose from. Surgery is when they deal with blades and sutures, abscess and ass-es. Surgery and Medicine might co-incides but they deal differently. Medicine does not deal with operating theaters like surgeons do.
For example , kidney. If you have kidney failure , it is under medicine. but if you have stones in the kidneys or kidney cancer- those are under surgical. Heart- if you have problem with heart, valve or hypertension, those are under medicine but if u need to do bypass surgery - that would be under surgery.
and we have other fields too eg, paediatric (which i fancy too) , orthopedic - bones , obstetric and gynaecologist - mainly babies and vaginas , and whoa! so much to put in a list.
Medicine itself are already big. we have nephrology, cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, dermatology, hematology etc etc etc.. Basically, if you aim to be a consultant and see patients and not cut them , then medical is the field you should aim for and I am aiming for that =)
and just few days ago, my specialist compliment me in front of my colleagues for my good performance =D it surely would sound unfair to the others since that was my 5th day of work in medical dept but it surely made me feel great and much more motivated in this field.
MRCP, wait up ! ;)
