no more exciting trips...no more adventures...back to reality..back to Seremban...

i went to HTJ...smiling at doctors...and they gimme the look like i just insulted the size of their manhood...i approach a patient...trying to get a history...she gimme the looks again telling me 4 fellas clerked and twisted her osteoarthritic knees yesterday...then ask me to go away..
gone are the Miri smiles...where patients just tell u everything...ask u questions..and doctors and nurses just make ur day so bright....

and so...ill just post up the pics and look back at the good days of selectives..


and now..i need to get started again....soon....

the line here is really to bad to upload pics for my India/Miri trip...i've tried...and it doesnt work!..and my blog is rotting...justfor the sake of uploading something in the meantime...ill just post something random...

never knew about this tagging thing...but apparently i got tagged by Chia Ling..to write 8 random facts bout me....hmm....not easy osso...

1. Only me can iron my shirts..no one touches them...i got OCD about maintaining a single line on the sleeves...and the same goes for my slacks...they say i cant maintain this kinda life when im a HO...by then...the only thing u care is whether u got clothes to wear..hmm...we'll see...yeah...im kinda vain

2. India elective is proof that i dare to try/eat anything new...and dun mind getting into hospital for it..

3. i never got into the craze of playing Dota, PS, and im one of the rare ppl who prefers Formula 1 racing over football

4. my mom always tell me not to go out with so many gals....i never understood that. i mean....since when was i so lucky?

5. i can cook well..ahem..and i eat like mad.(tek jee can be a witness for that)...but the last time i measured my waist in India..the tape stopped at 25 inch.

6. i havent got time to update my blogskin since the starting of the year

7. refering to point no 4.... i gotta admit that the reason behind it is ive never been gentlemanly most of the times...trying to change that...

8. i dun sound too holy most of the times.... but i have always been a Christian..and always try to follow Him in the things i do..

and now...i dunno hows this works either..but apparently the names below must do the same for themselves??

1. Tek Jee
2. Ching Mun
3. Christina
4. Su Yi
5. Fengy
6. Suba
7. Woon Lee
8. John Lam

hey....the pics finally arrived!! thanks Jee for the effort pos lajuing it to me....stay tuned for a looong list of blog updates!!


1. Never drink the water!! only drink mineral water!!!! you'll get typhoid, cholera.......
FALSE
can u imagine how much money were gonna waste if we drank only mineral water?? water there taste quite the same...IF.. u drink it from a proper cup and not sandy clay pots..

2. Dun eat the fruit!! the INJECT water inside!!
FALSE

actually..credit must be given to Shang for this.... i seriously cant imagine the indians injecting grapes with a 25G needle...certainly not worth the effort for 20 rupees a kilo....and again..we ate so much fruits there..banana, papaya, watermelon, grapes..and not forgetting...mosambee..a cross between orange and pomelo..taste good!!!

3. Trains are packed so bad that ppl cling on the door and climb on the roof!!
FALSE
train seats are numbered..one one person one seat...but public bus.... good luck..u need to get down if the bus cannot go up hill..then run after the bus...and they bring ALL sorts of cargo in...including live chicken!!!

4. Never eat roadside food!! ull get bla bla bla....and end up with diarrhea or dysentery...
FALSE
be daring and munch on it...roadside food often taste good...and again...no diarrhea..


5. Never give money to beggars..the whole kampung will come and swarm after u...
MOST LIKELY TRUE
the beggars run after u, wait for u outside ur shop for u to finish tea.. follow you for 15 minutes until you reach the gate... i mean...if u give..most likely they'll all come..no definite answer for this..cos we didnt give!!

6. As long as you know English...you're fine..
FALSE!!

some places dun even speak Hindi!! they have like 400 languages...all with different writing!! even in Delhi markets.. English will bring you no where... know the Hindi numbers at least...and ull be fine..

7. Public toilets are incredibly dirty there..
TRUE!!!what public toilet?? just squat ANYWHERE you like and piss/shit! and IF they DO have public toilets outside a private building...its really...PUBLIC!!!

8. Dun get bitten by mosquito or any insect!! youll get malaria!!
FALSE...where got? and its unavoidable..too many mozzies everywhere

9. India is a great place to study medicine..
TRUE!!!
its not just about the cadavers..the whole learning system, the lecturers, the hospital...all combined to give a complete medical training...

10. India is a nice place to visit

FIND OUT FOR URSELF!!!

hey ppl..im back...just for a few days.. and i going off to Miri again soon!!

i know some ppl cant wait to see all the wierd and crazy stuff we did there.. the pics of open toilets...crowded buses and trains, infested roadside food...but all those is gonna come soon..i promise...as soon as i get the pics from jee..

but for now..let me share a big irony with you all... imagine us eating everything were not supposed to eat there in india..and getting absolutely no AGE watsoever...and ended up getting food poisoning after eating airplane food!!! thats wat happened to me and jee...and the thing is...Jee got better after 4 days...and i didnt!

u see...after some analyzing.. i realised that bloody Hindustan Airport in Bangalore is shutting down in a months time..its super busy, its crowded, its short handed bcos most of the staff went to the new airport.. its kinda dirty too..and airplane food is frozen upon preparation and heated up in the plane...and power shortages are frequent in India...all these translates to....bad food!!

after a meal of mutton curry rice in the plane..which i didn even finish, i had a bout of diarrhea in Colombo, then KLIA, then non stop at home for 4 days! everything i take comes out within 10 mins..even ORS comes out the same way.. diarrhea of 10 times a day, dehydrated, anorexic and lethargic...i ended up like this..


as u can see...i wasnt admitted...its just the acute care ward in UH...where i was given 2 pints of saline iv cos i was dehydrated and my BP was slightly low...given the history of travel.. the doctor (DR Aung Myo Maung..student of Dr Hla...) didn wanna take any chance..and thus..i started my long and boring wait for the drip to finish and for the blood results to come back. i even had a bout of diarrhea curing the drip. shitting with a drip in ur veins surely takes some skills! and i can say half the drip was gone to the toilet that day itself...the results did show some elevated liver enzymes..but according to the doctor nth to be too alarmed about....i sure hope its true too..

im stil having diarrhea now.. but appetite has slowly regained.. i think....

continue to pray for me... i need to be well enaf by sat...

and ill post the india pics up soon..
