Okay, sorry for the very summarized routine in just a few words but yeah, that’s what we basically did every day, brushing up our skills as we practiced.
That Friday, we worked in the morning, went back home and
cleaned ourselves to get ready to the…………….. BEACH! Babeh BEACH!
(Too bad I could NOT upload any photos here (even to Flickr!
:( )to show you guys the beach that we went because the internet connection
here is slow (like snail) and sucks (most of the time) )
I did upload those photos up to instagram, some to Facebook.
So I guess do check it our yourself at the places I just mentioned? :)
I’ll upload ze photos here, perhaps after my EOS – end of August/early September to be precise. Heh so to those who are anticipating (perhaps there’s no one), be very very patient :)

Right now, just BEAR WITH ME with all these words, typing from
all my heart, lungs, liver, stomach, intestine out. Hees, that’s a little bit exaggerating.
Okay back to the topic about BEACH, we went to look for the one recommended by staff nurses and we FOUND(!) the Petronas petrol station that they were saying – okay no. It’s the beach opposite the petrol station to be exact. XD
Haha it’s called the Pantai Saujana (or famously known as Pantai Batu Empat), Port Dickson! Yes they are right, the beach – the surroundings, the sand (SO HOT AND FINE!), the seaside (not to say perfect clean but it’s better than the dirty beach I went last year), the trees, the windy (yet sunny) weather, and the facilities are all…. I shall give 7 out of 10 marks :)
Ah, how I could just
upload a photo here and let you all judge!
After the sand writing moments, individual photo taking
sessions, I kind of escaped from the group and strolled alone to the other side
of the beach while observing the families spending time together, kids running
here and there.. Such a joyful moment .
It actually reminds me of the moment I had together with my extended families
back to manymanymanymany ( I guess about 14) years ago at some beach, also at
Port Dickson. I miss the apartment my father used to have here, where we always
take the chance to have a short getaway during school holidays. But now it’s no
longer belong to Papa. Papa sold it to somebody due to some financial issue he
had last time. Oh well, memories! :)
After the short walk, I started to walk towards the
ice-cream stall nearby the shades of the trees to have something cool, thanks
to the ‘ice-cream bell’, which was ringing non-stop that attracted my attention
so much especially under this sunny, sweaty weather. So while we were waiting
for the sun to set, we chatted, joked, ate cucumbers ( yeah that’s like a huge
thing that I need to mention here), and the photo shooting session started
again when the sun started to dissolve slowly :)
Then, we headed to P.D. Waterfront (our usual dinner spot)
to pack our dinner! Teehee, it was a beautiful day spent with my girls. :))
On the other note, my Facebook timeline is filled with so
many news about Food Culture Week presentation by my ND (Nutrition &
Dietetics) friends, selling of T-shirts, Chariofare activities going on and
also seniors’ graduation ceremony, etc.
Just look at what I’ve missed in just two weeks while I’m away from uni
:O
My uni’s so happening with events right? Haha
Anyway, in every thing that I miss out, there’s always something
good that comes to me, something that is already starting to shape me to be a
competent health care provider.
Things I must see improvement in myself within the next few
weeks :
- Grab and hold the opportunities. BE SMART.
- Do NOT afraid. Stools, blood, pain, hurt. BE BRAVE.
- EMPATHY, not sympathy. BE UNDERSTANDING.
- Always think on patient’s point of view. BE GRATEFUL.
It seems like I have too much free time to actually blog
right now, haha. Should have utilized this time to study hard for EOS exam,
since I’ve received a piece of not so good news about my recent Pathophysiology
class test results. *gulps
Well, let’s see how it goes. Till then! :D

Sorry, it's the anon again...I love your writing, you have such a nice flow. I just wanted to ask about the clinical postings, when do they start? and for how long? and what's the accommodation like? Do you have to search yourself or do they provide it for you, like a hostel? If there's anything else you could tell me it'd be really welcomed..thanks!
ReplyDeleteHey there! The duration of the posting depends on your semester. Usually it's about two months. All I could tell you about the accommodation is ..it is more to independent-style ; meaning that you have to look for yourself, etc. But worry not about this issue, seniors will always be there to help by providing you information about it.
ReplyDeleteUrmm.. so far this is what I can tell, and what's on my mind. If you'd like to know more, perhaps you can drop me an e-mail? :)
Thanks again for dropping by and the kind words! :)
Cheers!
Thanks for replying me! I forgot your url, tried so hard to recall it...I'm really interested in the clinical posting part, so since you're willing to put up with my constantly asking you probing questions(shamefaced), I'll email you about that. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNo problem at all! If you have sent your e-mail and I have not returned your mail within 10 days, please notify me here. I'll double check and make sure you'll get a reply :))
DeleteAlright then, talk to you soon! Have a good weekend!
