That satisfaction when..

you finished reading a book within a day. :)

The book is called, "All The Bright Places" by Jeniffer Niven. I'd give it a 4.3 over 5.0
It's little different compared to the normal rom-com book that I read. The themes range from love, suicide, mental health, family, drama and life.

The ending is quite unexpected, the content (I must say) is suspenseful = not boring at all!
And the bonus thing about this book is, there's only little pages in a chapter, unlike those 20 over pages for one chapter and it bored me sometimes to finish one chapter.
All these bonus features made me finish reading it within 24 hours. Woohoo! #awesomelikethat


I didn't intend to complete my reading this early, but I did it! OH wells.
And to be honest, I really really love the satisfaction feeling :)) Although the ending wasn't what I hoped at all, it's still a nice book to read.

I can't reveal much! All I can say is, this book is about a girl who learns how to live from a boy who wants to die. That attractive line caught my brain and heart and made me hunt high and low for it (it is NEWLY released and only 4 books available at MPH SO FAR) during my book shopping with dear roomie.

So what I'm gonna read next? :)
..............................

On another note, hello readers!
It's been months since I typed a word here. Busy and hectic basically just ate parts of my life.
My clinical posting at Seremban just ended last Saturday.
Guess WHAT? I was down with food poisoning with a friend of mine, so on the last day of working both of us were looking like dead fishes out of oxygen and nutrients. Basically both of us lost a lot of electrolyte which resulted in fever, dizziness, fatigue and sleepy. We just wanted to rest and sleep, not moving for ALL DAY LONG. What a drama to end our posting right. Tsk

Speaking of posting, it was quite a different experience for all of us since we went to neurosurgical ward at Hospital Sg. Buloh, gynaecology ward, orthopaedic ward, medical and surgical ward of Hospital T.J. All I could say is, I feel sympathy for patients whom we have encountered at all wards.
Patients that are involved in motor vehicle accidents, fracture, alleged fall, alleged assault, congenital disease, hydrocephalus, stroke, missed abortion, skin cancer, swollen scrotum (but feel no pain) and the list goes on.

This time round, I have also learnt about new diseases/conditions like spina bifida, G6PD enzyme deficiency, TB spondilytis, cervical incompetence, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, Fournier Gangrene, and Xeroderma Pigmentosum.

Well, there wasn't a lot of drama coming from the patients for this posting.. rather, it's from the healthcare providers at certain health institution which the consequences of their responsibility was what actually made the whole situation quite depressing and disappointing. I will not describe what actually happened but I will highlight some keywords here, to remind myself that I will not do that to my patients (ever) in the future.
Here you go :
1) Bilateral deep vein thrombosis --> Above knee amputation
2) Bed sores
3) Harsh and task-oriented
4) Rude/Disrespectful comments

Although it's not your wrongdoings, take it as a good reflection and learn from these mistakes, PK. 


On a positive side, I have come to realization that I am feeling more confident and getting better in terms of skills and interprofessional learning session. The 'scared' feeling is slowly fading off, which is pretty good and sounds absolutely positive. Hopefully as I progress, the  competency will rise and reach to the top!

I have also personally received good feedback from my mentor that my academic results for class tests improved! I was really delighted to receive that piece of good news. All I need to do is to score scenario based oral presentations! (let's finger cross that I'll do well :3)

Alright then, enough of my thoughts and updates for the day!
Til' then :)

Oh, SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI, my Muslim friends and to those who are celebrating!!
