Wellington (25.07.08)

Last weekend, I went down to Wellington. Actually, it was a very sudden plan. Hahahahaha.

Flashback:
Wednesday, 23/07/08 :I called Aunty Rose, a MSD (Malaysia Student Department) officer on that afternoon around 1pm, regarding my dad's documents. She said that there's no other way to settle it except I have to come down to Welly myself. My mind was so mixed up, hv to think about how to get there n at the same hv i'll be having OSCE 2morrow afternoon.Huhu.Eventually, I made a very quick decision..I'll be there on Friday since I've nothing important on that day. On that night, I was busy preparing and practising the physical examinations with Fiqah and at the same time, waiting for the confirmation from Aunty Rose. Unfortunately, she didn't pick-up the phone or reply my message. I went to bed with full of frustation.

Thursday, 24/07/08 : I called Aunty Rose early in the morning and Alhamdulillah, she picked-up the phone and she said, she'll be there 2morrow. Soon after I got the confirmation, I went to STA Travel in the city campus to buy the tickets to Welly. And the price..MasyaAllah, it was so expensive!!! The cheapest that I can get was NZD 360...the depart on Fri, 6am n return on Sat 7 am..but I had no choice..so I just grabbed it...then, I went home and prepared myself to go to Middlemore Hospital for my OSCE. Alhamdulillah, I did quite OK for the physical examinations except I couldn't finish the ankle and foot examination in that 5 min time..huhu..however, I expected it to be happened since the fastest time that I took was 6 mins when I practised with my friends.Huhu.I arrived at home quite late, it was around 7pm. At night, I packed the things that needed to be taken to Welly n went to bed around 1 am.

Friday, 25/07/08 : Woke up at 3.15 am, prepared to go to the airport. Special credit goes to Ana, she's the one who drove me to the airport in the early of the morning. Thank you so much for your help dear and to Ain too!!! My flight was on 6 am n arrived in Welly at 7am. Subanallah, Welly is so damn beautiful but definitely much more colder than Auckland. Reached at Malaysia High Commission at 9 am and Alhamdulillah..everthing went smoothly. After that, Ayek aka Liana came to meet me at MHC and brought me to her home. Her house is so huge compared to my little "motel" in Auckland. hahahaha. ayek, u know what i mean rite??? hahhahah..In the afternoon, she brought me tour around Welly city...I did enjoy it very much..Thanks Ayek for ur warm hospitality..InsyaAllah, I'll come next time and I really want to go to AbraKebabRa, Satay Kajang Restaurant again...nyum..nyumm...now. i'm salivating..miowww...hahahaha...

Saturday, 26/07/08 : Woke up at 5.30am..Melor n Ayek sent me to the airport..Thanks a lot Melor..Nice knowing you n hopefully, we'll meet again one day..Amin..took flight at 7am n reached in Auckland at 8 am...Alhamdulillah, everything ran smootly...Alhamdulillah...

And these all the pics taken before my battery "kong"...hahahahah...

Irfan's Suprise Birthday Party (19.07.08)

Last but not least..Happy Birthday to Irfan..Semoga dipanjangkan umur n dimurahkan rezeki..Amin..

Dear Blog,

Alhamdulillah...bersyukur daku ke hadrat Illahi..Today, I have 2 good news..Firstly, I passed my first run which is Psychiatry and I got distinction for my CAT..yeay..yeay..Alhamdulillah..n secondly, I had an opportunity to observe open-reduction internal fixation (ORIF) procedure which was done on a patient with bimalleolar fracture of left ankle. I was pleased to see it since the patient for my Orthopaedic case history (Mrs SG) has similar problem and procedure with today's patient. Actually, I missed Mrs SG's procedure because it clashed with my tutorial session. So by watching today's procedure, my understanding in Mrs.SG's management become more clear. And definitely, it'll help me in writting the discussion part for the case history.hehe.

Cheers!!!

Tiring Week...

Dear blog,

This week was so packed. Doing Locomotor aka Orthopedic run is pretty challenging. Have to know all the pysical examinations for all major joints like spine,shoulder,hands,hip,knee,ankle and feet.huhu. Other than, have to be in the operation theatre(OT) for the whole day on acute day and my team's acute day was on Thursday. Although I've been in OT for couple of times (when I did surgical run) but being in OT for orthopedic procedure is so much different. We've to be more thorough in term of sterilization since we're dealing with metal equipments. Besides that, those joining the procedure also required to wear protective gears (which are so damn heavy..mayb about 20kg) since X-ray is required along the procedure.huhu.Penat btol.adoi. I've seen 3 procedures like debridement and removal of foreign body, reduction of distal ulnar and radius fracture and insertion of DHS aka CHS (compression hip screw) for intertrochanteric neck of femur fracture. I also had learnt how to apply the POP (Plaster of Paris) and fibreglass cast. They were awesome.lol.

On last Tuesday, I met Prof Rob regarding my psychiatric logbook.Alhamdulillah, nothing bad happened. I also passed my very first ever exam in University of Auckland for Consultation Skill. Alhamdulillah. Hopefully, the subsequent exams will also be like that.Amin.

Ok.Need to stop here. Long orthopedic case history and a rheumatology CAT need to be done. Not to forget, I also need to practise OSCE a lotxxx.huhu.

By the way..these are the pics when we had our lunch in one of the Korean Restaurant here. hahaha.akhirnye, hajat saya utk memakai korean-style-spoon termakbul.handlenyer sgt panjang.hahaha.lol.

Socializing with new friends

Free side dishes: kimchi,jelly,seaweed,bean sprouts,sweet potatoes

Main dish: Prawn Fried Rice Korean Style

Ayek in Auckland..

Last weekend, Ayek, my IMU's buddy which currently doing Medicine in University of Otago, Wellington came up to Auckland.She was here from Tuesday till Saturday. Unfortunately, we could only spend time together on Thursday night and few hours before she went back to Welly. Huhu.It's due to our limited time.Pity ayek;-(

But insyaAllah, one day, we'll meet again. Mana lah tau, jiha plak turun Welly nanti.hehehe.
