In the Wrong Business

1 month has passed since i moved to P town from B town. What i like about this P town is.. it's so damn near to where we are currently renting.
And i don't have to do calls anymore. I purposely refused my lecturers' advice which was to do medicine.. because i hate getting work calls after office hour. To me, having to get up in the middle of the night to go and sew people's face because they were too drunk to see that the road actually bended is really a pain in the butt.

Just FYI, most call cases I attended so far were either due to drunk drivers or drunk men fighting and injuring each other.
Little did i know when i joined the service that i had to do calls as well.
At least now, I am temporarily safe from that ... But I really have to pursuit something.. a specialty i mean.. or else when i am out of this place, i will have to do calls again.. urghhh.

Now that, is my main concern, or rather , my main problem.

I am currently attending a 3 day convention at Sunway ... but the more i learned about the industry... the more i feel i am in the wrong business. So, if i basically do not like what i am suppose to be.. how, please , tell me how.. can i go further?

I have other options like.. go private and make money$$$. But i don't want to take the risk because going private actually really means business.. and a softie ( i am soft hearted.. only u don't know about it.. ok.. laugh all u want but it's true!!!)like me has no place in the business world.

Maybe i should just continue doing whatever it is that i am doing and try to enjoy the joy of life God has given me so far...

Let the main breadwinner do his job first. I'll see what I can do when the time comes..

Yeah.. when the time comes.

Sean Ghazi - A man of his words!

I came back from Terengganu yesterday and found this in my mail box!

I opened the envelope with great care and there was another envelope


Inside this red packet.. was a lovely red package with a postcard.



Inside the red package was this..

Come on, by now you should know there's a CD inside.. no need for me to tell what's inside the cd case la huh..

Such a sweet guy this SG is.. Not only he's multi talented, but he's also sweet kan?

At first , well you know , he got several nominations during the last AIM and actually surprised a lot of people because he got only the best new artiste award. The crowd expected that he would get more. Meaning- he was the favourite or shall i say popular . And became more popular and well known after winning that award. ( Btw, if u r reading this and still don't have the slightest idea who SG is, either u r not from Malaysia or u have been living under the tempurung (coconut shell) all this while.)

But this is the proof that he actually remembered, and kept his words.
You have my respect for that!

A review of the album:

Concept- It's unique.. not like the usual local album u can find in the market
Music- Pleasant, nostalgic, yet refreshing.
Voice- I like it.
Favourites:- Lets never stop falling in love or it's malay version- ku impikan bintang

Personally, i find the song 'dengar ini cerita' kinda horny... i know i am married and have a daughter , and too old to feel shy about the story but.. i dunno, i felt a bit 'malu' listening to that song..'malu' as in blushing kind of 'malu' . Y? I have no idea.

For those who love P ramlee-ish or you can say Michael Buble-ish if u want to ( I'm sorry, my music vocabulary is not that good, mind the improper choice of terms, and words. I wanted to say it more beautifully.. but, alas.....).. I highly recommend this album for you to enjoy.

Even to those who are not sure whether they like it or not.. give it a try..
Those who do not like it.. get outta here you.. you..!

Last but not least, many many thanks toMr Sean Ghazi for being such a generous man and took all the trouble to send this signed CD, FOC , to someone you barely know.

And not forgetting Kak Ruby Ahmad for playing fairy god mother and made it happen.

You guys rock!


ps: for the real blur ones.. (I copy-pasted from wikipedia.)

Thank You, Dr Z.

A lot of depressing things happened these last few days. Before I turn sour all over, I want to wish my lovely dentist, Dr Z , thank you for her help last Saturday.
A filling I had for more than 9 years ago fell off leaving a cavity on my upper left first premolar. Dr Z was very kind to help me re-do the filling ,F.O.C!
Considering the clinic's location, I think the cost would have been around RM 100 or so..
It was very good to see her again though.She was my junior back in dental school.
Well Dr Z, thank you for your kind gesture.
May your life be blessed with alll kind of good things.

WHY???!!

My current boss is holding back my transfer!!
They even kept the letter and there's no sign of them passing the rightful letter of mine to me.

Sucks!

Sucks!

Sucks!

urghhhhhhhhh Why???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????!

I am supposed to report duty to the new place this wednesday, man..
I never knew i am that good, now everyone wants to have me work for them. Sigh*

Kurang Ajar!

Is there any word in English which gives the same meaning as the title above? The word rude did come across but I don't think it is strong enough to describe the emotions involved. Insolence? Maybe..

This story is about a one very 'kurang ajar' patient of mine.
'Kurang Ajar', directly translated means 'not having enough education'
I don't know whether he was a bad student or his guardians or parents who whoever they are, slept on their job.

The out come was this one kurang ajar young man.

I know we're not supposed to talk about patients, we have to keep the secrecy , but this one, is not really about his health condition nor about his social status, but his attitude.

He was very rude towards the counter staff, he did not cooperate during examanations, he gave different answers to the same questions when asked twice, he didn't want to listen to explanations regarding his conditions, he just wanted us to do what he ordered! And the way he talked was so damn rude i felt like punching him in the face and kicking him in the ass. If only I lost my professionalism at that time and purposely mistreated him..
that would be one very painful event for him, Payment for being very kurang ajar to us. Thank God, my sanity never left me even for one second. Kalau tak.. naya ..

Come on la, You may call me a government servant, but I am NOT YOUR SERVANT, OK!

Mama's Day!

It's mother's day today.

Who should I give my love to?
My respect and my honor to
Who should I pay good mind to?
After Allah
And Rasulullah

Comes your mother
Who next? Your mother
Who next? Your mother
And then your father

Cause who used to hold you
And clean you and clothes you
Who used to feed you?
And always be with you
When you were sick
Stay up all night
Holding you tight
That's right no other
Your mother (My mother)

Who should I take good care of?
Giving all my love
Who should I think most of?
After Allah
And Rasulullah

Comes your mother
Who next? Your mother
Who next? Your mother
And then your father

Cause who used to hear you
Before you could talk
Who used to hold you?
Before you could walk
And when you fell who picked you up
Clean your cut
No one but your mother
My mother

Who should I stay rigt close to?
Listen most to
Never say no to
After Allah
And Rasulullah

Comes your mother
Who next? Your mother
Who next? Your mother
And then your father

Cause who used to hug you
And buy you new clothes
Comb your hair
And blow your nose
And when you cry
Who wiped your tears?
Knows your fears
Who really cares?
My mother

Say Alhamdulillah
Thank you Allah
Thank you Allah
For my mother.

song by Yusuf Islam


I dedicate this song to all mothers in the world especially to my mum Meriam and my mum in law, Fatimah.

Ladies out there, our children are not our toys nor our possession. They are not for you to use when you want to play with and throw away into the dustbin or down the drain when you don't need them anymore. Do appreciate them and love them with all our hearts.  If not, please, you have no right to be a mother.

In short, think before you say yes to your partner's seduction.  It will turn your life upside down if you aren't ready!

Happy mother's day y'all!!

ps: Btw, not everyone celebrates mother's day today. For more info on this, log on to wikipedia,

K. Pi in the News.

I was flipping thru the Sunday Star yesterday when I came across this article.

Blogging on

By DAPHNE LING

Lately, Malaysian bloggers have been on the receving end of bad press. Sadly, the work of a few bad apples has given the millions of other bloggers a bad name.

There are some, like the ones I will share, who despite the turbulence in the blogsophere, keep at what the love most: To share their stories.

Pi Bani, of ‘Pi’s Twist’
www.pistwist.blogspot.com

Pi Bani, 44, is one gutsy lady. Having been a volunteer with The Buddies Society of Ipoh for three years, Kak Pi, as she is fondly called, started her blog early March to share the stories of her work.

The Buddies Society is a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) providing moral and emotional support to People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Besides sharing her experiences, Kak Pi also writes her blog “to reach out to more people to enlighten them about the plights PLWHA’s”. She also hopes to slowly debunk the social stigma that comes with it.

By profession though, Kak Pi is a certified Company Secretary.

“I now work on flexi-hour basis with a friend of mine in a company providing secretarial, accounting and management services,” she says, adding that she is happy with the arrangement as it gives her time to indulge in her voluntary service.

Through her writings, people are able to read about the little triumphs that PLWHA’s achieve in the face of struggles, and their unfortunate treatment by some members of society.



So guys,  click on her name ( she's on my link list) and read for yourself what wonderful things this lady has done and still doing. You too , can make a difference.
