nursing roadshow in kmpk, exhausted but fun!!

this was the first time i joined nursing roadshow. the roadshow aimed to promote our course; bachelor of nursing in ukm for matriculation student, and this time it was gopeng matriculation in perak my hometown.

perjalanan kami bermula seawal 6 pagi dari rumah dan berkumpul di ppukm. nak dijadikan cerita pagi tadi hujan turun mencurah2. bila sampai jer lobi blok pendidikan habis badan basah separuh. tapi kami tak patah semangat, the journey must go on!. kami bertolak dari ppukm pukul 7 pg, lewat sikit dari jadual asal.

selepas hampir 3 jam pejalanan, akhirnya sampai di KOLEJ MATRIKULASI PERAK(KMPK). my best friend, an ex-KMPK told me the place is huge but the landscape was superb. indeed it is. we can see the view of mountains (i believe part of banjaran titiwngsa if i'm not mistaken. haha, i hate geography wonder how i scored that subject?), the hostel was nicely painted, the cafe looks clean and the suaru was spacious. it was like 2 times larger than my former matriculation in labuan! as we arrived there, we quickly set up our booth and saw the students start to crowd our booth.



some were very interested and listen to what our course offers while there were some who came there for the sake of sweets and even asked for gooody bags. it was very fun actually, to see all the 'innocent' looking students, haven't decide what to do in the future, came and listen to us with much interest. we stood there, explain and answering all their queries, even debates with some lecturers and students who seem to look down on our profession. to be honest i love this activities very much!!

and then there were clinical booth in the clinic for health screening. we were only able to do blood pressure checking and open a counter for BMI since we forgot to tkae glucometer together for blood sugar monitoring. but still, a lot of students, lecturers and workers came for health screening.

hmm sayang nye bateri kamera mati pulak, tak dapat nak ambil gambar byk2...tp, overall, KMPK was fun but very tiring and and i felt like getting sore throat. however, if you asked me to do this activities again, i'll definitely say YES!

ipoh hujannnn!!!!

hmm, looks likes its raining season in ipoh right now. can't do much outdoor activities and here i am, stranded in my room, playing computer games and increase the risk of gaining weight, TIDAKK!!! and thank goodness too, i brought back P1wimax here, at least i can surf the internet. or else i'll end up suffering in this boredom. and then there's the keyboard. hmm, i always been dreaming to be able to play at least a song (a part from marry had a little lamb) using that keyboard, and now, here's the chance!

the song that i've been dying to play is called 'niji'. it is actually a japanesse song sang by a member of ARASHI. niji means rainbow in english. the first time i heard that song i was like, 'woww, sugoi ne!' it was beautifully played. since then i've been trying too memorize the lyrics (70% done) and now i wanna be able to play while singing this song. insyaallah, i'll try my best. gambatte kudasai!

i got to keep practice and practice. but not tomorrow though. i'll be heading back to kl tommorow, preparing for nursing roadshow in matrikulasi gopeng, perak. hope everything will go fine. so keyboard, wait for me ok!now, i got to go packing anything necessary..


till then...oyasumi nasai!
salam..

happy aidiladha eid!!

Selamat Hari Raya aidiladha...
hari ni aku balik kg dgn family, dekat kuala kangsar bandar diraja. maklumlah, hari raya ni kalau tak sambut kat kg mmg x cukup syarat. sampai2 je kat kg, dh nampak ayh min dgn ayh jun bwk keluar daging korban. dapat bhgn paha pulak tu, mak aih, terkejut gak masa mula2 tengok tu.

then after jumaat prayers, the 'operation' begin. buat apa lagi, lapah daging korban la. huhu first, it's the guys job to to do all the nasty works. potong kaki kerbau tu!! mmg kejam gler la, siap guna gergaji, parang, pisau (nasib baik x de tukul besi jer kat situ) finally, dpt gak kerat kaki kerbau tu..huhu, mcm kejam jer kan bunyinya. apis (my elder brother) dh awal2 cop bhgn tu, nak buat sup gear box katanya.

pastu pe lagi, sampai lah glrn yg lemah lembut ni melapah daging kerbau.(of course i chose the easy chores!) mmg best lar. byk btol daging tp nak agih2 kan utk satu family bhgn mak. hmm, blom habis lapah lg dah mcm2 idea keluar nak masak daging tu. at last, we decide tu make nasi daging and sup 'gear box' as my brother wished. ye lah penat2 dah dia potong kaki kerbau td.



habis melapah dgg, ternampak lar pulak rambutan yg merah2 kat luar rumah opah 2. pe lg "pah, ade pengait x?". huhu, dpt jer pengait tros mulakan projek. hmm, honestly, aku mmg fail bab2 mengait rambutan ni. adelah 5 biji jer yg jatuh, yg lain tu daun jer lebih. mula2 kteorg adik-beradik jer, lpas tu habis mak ngan pak cik join skali. mmg best, mcm2 gaya ade. last skali dpt lar 3 besen rambutan. manis tak terkata!

malam tu, dinner dengan nasi daging and sup gear box. tapi syg nyer aku x lalu nak mkn sup gear box tu sdgkan dua org hero 2 (abg ngan adik) berselera sungguh menyedut guna straw..never mind, i'll pass. x rasa nak cuba pun. anyway, we chat and have a good laugh together. lps tu tgk Nur Kasih episod akhir. habis nur kasih tros berangkat balik ke ipoh, siap bwk bekal lg; kuih siput dng tempoyak.

hmmmm...next project utk cuti nie will be kelas memasak tempoyak dgn mak.huh can't wait!!

what i learned in O&G ward

hmm, masa mula2 posting dekat ward bersalin, mmg bosan sebab xda prosedure yang bley buat selain bed making, vital signs dan bantu pesakit dalam 14 ADL. bosan, balik2 baca BHT. tapi, semasa posting dekat wad gynae mggu lepas, ada sikit perubahan.
it all started when the ward sister called upon us after we followed grand rounds by doctors. she came up to us and ask, ' had u learned about breast feeding?'. at that time there was only me and joanne and we said yes. then the sister said, ' good, now lets teach this mother on breast feeding.'
before i continue, let me clear out some facts. do we know about breast feeding? YES. are we well informed on the physiology and hormonal process involve? YES. had we ever taught anyone about breast feeding? NO.



So at that time, I'm scared that the sister will ask me to do the teaching. luckily, we only observe her. To be honest, I really respect this person. she taught the mother so well, from the technique of holding the baby, how to store the pump milk, everything she said was like what i've read in the books. and more importantly, she clears out all doubts and anxiety that worries the mother. then she look up to us, 'ok now u can do so to every new mothers admitted here.'


hey, now i got something to do in the ward rather than reading never ending BHTs! and so i try to apply what i had learned from the sister. this patient was having her first child and the child is premature. i approach her and ask her whether she know about breast feeding and inform her that i me n my clique will be teaching her on breast feeding. i explained to her that premature baby is prone to get jaundice and by giving breast feeding, it can reduce the possibilty. she responded well.
i teach her according to what i had learned previously and she listen with much interest. everything was going well until she applies what i taught. she looks awkward since it was her first time. however she tried her best without giving up. i was very touched to see her determination.eventhough her baby did not respond very well, she keep prompting her baby to start suckling.
i said to her, its ok, but you must keep trying and she nod. when i saw her next day, she still trying to give breast feeding without giving up.
eventually, it was my last day in the ward and this patient is waiting to be discharge. i really hope that she will practice the knowledge that i gave her. hmm, finally, there is something that i can contribute during this 1 week posting in gynae ward.

exam dah dekat, bila aku nak sedar diri ni?

entah lah, sejak masuk U aku dah jd makin malas. malas nak study,walaupun exam dah nak dekat. sekarang ni sibuk layan drama jepun ryuusei no kizuna. dah addicted. best sgt cerita tu, sampai nak tgok byk2 kali! tu belum masuk lg demam ARASHI. haha, x habis2 aku dgr lagu diorg. mmg best sangat2, 2 thumbs up!! sambil menaip assignment nie bley layan lar, sampai hilang ngantuk. buktinya, sekarang dah pukul 4.30 pg and i'm still fresh and alert walaupun bru balik posting ward. huhu nampaknye x yah depend dgn nescafe lg utk stay up. anyway, kalau ada masa, check out this group called arashi, their music is very fresh, upbeat, all of them are cute, sings very well and can act too!
huh, ok, assignment call. mesti siapkan cepat!

matlamat hidup..do i have one???

hari ni ada satu pengalaman menarik. adalah seorang hamba allah ni memberikan kte org nasihat tentang hidup. ye lah memandangkan kte org nampak muda2 lagi mungkin wajarlah akak tu nak kongsi pengalaman hidup. katanya, kita kena hidup bermatlamat, tentukan apa yg kita nak dan pastikan kita dapat capai matlamat tersebut.
hmm, actually i've been doing that for this 20 years of my life. most of my goal has already been achieved. dah dpt habiskan alam persekolahan dgn cemerlang, dah berjaya masuk matrikulasi dan sekarang dah menjejakkan kaki di universiti pilihan aku, dlm course yang x lari dari fokus bidang kerjaya yang aku nak. mungkin ada yg tersasar sikit but still, i have what i want the way i plan. syukur sgguh aku pada allah.
tp ada satu jer matlamat yg blom tercapai. to find my one true love. aku selalu berjanji pada diri bahawa 'no boyfriend before you set your foot in the university!'. kira mcm c u d IPT la kononnyer. now being 20 and single, i start to think hmmm, may be i'm to tough sampai org x berani nak dekat. perlukah kita nak menukar siapa diri kita hanya utk dapatkan cinta? dah aku ni mmg jenis yang ssh nak percaya dgn org, if i think it did not worth it, why should i go for it?? selain tu jugak, aku lebih jadi pemerhati kpd masalah kwn2 aku, ada yg bhgia, ada yg merana, ada yg terlalu mengagungkan cinta dan ada jugak yg anggap cinta tu main2. so patut kah aku percaya dgn cinta.
for me, love is all bout trust, being able to accept one weakness and admit our 'imperfection', and most importantly not being hypocrite. dan kalau boleh, biarlah org pertama yg aku cintai will be the one i end my life with. huh, besar sggh cita2.
hah, nie dah lari dgn citer akak td tu, nway, mengikut kata akak tu kalo kita dah set umur utk kawin, then usaha la utk cari jodoh dan kawin la pada umur tersebut. tp jgn lupe plak masa dpn, mulalah menabung supaya hidup akan dtg x ssh. hehe actually nasihat akak tu td dah buat aku tersedar, life is more than what i have now. yes, i've achieve what i want in this 20 years of life but how about the next 20 years or more?? hmm, masa utk muhasabah diri dan mula rancang masa depan aku.

learning lesson or a lesson to learn???

tak tahulah nak kecewa atau sedih. setelah 2,3 hari menelaah ubat2 yg ada di ward, hasilnya sama jugak. masih tak cukup bagus lagi. kadang2 tu, aku rasa yang expectation pensyarah terhadap kami terlalu tinggi. setinggi gunung everest gamak nya. entah lah, bagi aku, untuk betul2 mahir tentang sesuatu ubat itu memang sangat penting, apatah lagi untuk 'bakal' staff nurse macam kami nie. tapi pada masa yang sama, untuk menjadi mahir dan mengingati semua ubatan yang ada dalam troli tu bukan sesuatu yang boleh dilakukan dalam masa yang singkat. it takes time.
anyway, we still have another chance tomorrow. hope it'll be better. ok lah malas nak ulas lg pasal perkara nie. i better start revising and improves my self. let the world know that i can do it. (*opps terlebey sudah! hehe... )

a piece of mind...

life has always been kind of easy for me. semua yang aku rancang dan harapkan pasti jadi kenyataan. contohnya angan2 masa kecil dulu kini semua dah jadi kenyataan. Aku dah berjaya lulus peperiksaan dengan cemerlang dan menjejakkan kaki ke universiti pilihan dalam bidang yang memang aku minati. syukur, alhamdulillah. terasa bahawa diri ini dilindungi oleh rahmat-Nya.

tapi sekarang aku dapat rasakan bahawa segala yang telah Allah berikan selama ini bukan lah satu kesenangan semata2, malah lebih kepada untuk menguji kemampuan ku, samada aku berada dlm golongan hambanya yg alpa atau pun yg sentiasa bersyukur. dan jujur..aku sering kali leka dgn nikmatnya. Ya Allah, sungguh aku sedaya utk ikhlas dalam setiap apa yg aku lakukan kerana aku tahu betapa nikmatnya melakukan sesuatu kerja dgn ikhlas.

tabahkan lah serta kuatkan aku supaya dapat menjadi yang terbaik dalam urusan ku...
