It's Mother's day today, and everywhere was packed with people. At first i offered to cook for my mom at home, but they prefered to have pizza. We went to Bella Italia for our dinner tonight, which 4 main course cost us about RM 140!
This time i didn't buy anything for my mom, because bo lui after the KL trip last month. So i joined a writing contest for Mother's day last week, and unexpectedly, i became one of the three winners. (Yea!)
There you goes, the prizes consisits of: One free 1 kg cake, One free 1hr
foot reflexoroy, One free bouquet of Carnation and One free make up course worth RM188.. Total value is about RM 300 plus.
The Carnations
Tiramiasu, which worth RM 59
So i brought these for my mom, though she said she prefer something more "realistic" (handbag, perfumes or cash, perhaps.) ==" Anyway, thanks to Ivoq concept for giving me this chance of winning again. Again, i wish everyone Happy Mother's day before it clocks 12 am. lol. Have a nice working day tomorrow.
I think i am just too free while waiting for patient samples (7 weeks - 0 patient enrolled!!). End up, has become so addicted to this game. Very soon i will be murdered if supervisors find out i shake legs and do nothing! In that case, maybe i should open a real restaurant as my new career instead of doing research.
Few weeks ago, I was in KL to attend workshop and one scientific meeting.
Attending workshop and conference just like learning new things again.
And also means eat.. eat.. eat..
At Sheraton Imperial Hotel
Vegetable pie and Raspberry fruit cake (during tea breaks)
Attractive, nice deco but not so sweet desserts
Fresh oysters
More sushi for us to choose, and I liked their California Roll
Sheraton hotel also offered us a free buffet lunch for first two days of workshop, and they do have western cuisine (got roasted sirloin!), malay (nice satay I ever tasted), and Chinese (can choose asam laksa, Cantonese soup, chicken soup for noodle, and add whatever side dish you like) in each small section for us to choose. Hmm, this was the best buffet I ever had. Blame the short lunch break that caused me can’t try all the food there.
At Hilton Hotel
I have another scientific meeting at Hilton Hotel after that workshop, and because more than 1,000 participants attend, the hotel offered lunch box for us during lunch hour. They do offer Chinese, Indian vegetarian, Japanese, Western, Thai menu for us to choose during 2 and half days conference. And the lunch box is just like an airplane meal.. This was their Chinese menu lunch box
Well, it can’t beat the grand buffet offered by Sheraton Imperial Hotel as you can see.But is very filling.
15 mins to go before i can clock out and go home..
aww.. hope it won't get too serious tonight...
or maybe a new patient to be enrolled tomorrow will cure me..
sigh... how i wish i can start my molecular work in unimas dy, instead of waiting patient to be enrolled every day in hospital that's full of viruses and pathogens. Got a bad feeling that i won't get all my samples before deadline.. O.o"
Our New Cabinet is set-up. Not many surprise, still placing those people to become ministers in department which not relevant to their profession background. For example a PhD graduate in Economy is appointed to become Minister of Defense. lol, somehow i think this whole Cabinet is created just want to be fair to those win big in national elections or their party elections.
Anyway, just a sharing. Hope they make Malaysia better.
Today is a day to celebrate my 7 months working life in Kuching after my graduation on last August. Time flies, I never realized how fast is the time pass by while I still thinking what to achieve during my 10 years life, yet 1 year is going to end. Means I still have 9 years and 5 months to go to reach my goal.
In these 7 months, I absorb a new knowledge to extend my understanding on heart disease and its physiology. I remember during my form 5 and form 6 biology, I hate to study the chapter about heart and its everything. Yet today, I am working with a cardiologist. I even swear not to touch molecular biology work again when I had an unforgettable bad experience during my 3 months internship in one research centre. Yet today, I am towards the molecular biology branch and the deadliest EtBr again.
At this moment, I haven’t really think if there is any future plan extended from this study. Will I going into PhD life, just to put a Dr. salutation in front my surname? Or do I really passionate to do more researches in science or in this field? These remain no answer yet. I still need to think.
To conclude my 7 months working in GH, I learn more than I imagined about it before I took up this job. From literature review, product purchasing, bargaining for free products, re-learn the basics of molecular works, learn from other researchers, network tactics until these few days, I seek and learn from patient, try understand the doctor’s writing on case note, swallow the drug’s name, learn to see ECG graph etc. I shall be thankful to those who willing teach me. But before I can swallow all these, i hardly get myself concentrate whenever I am inside a ward when a sick people is in front me and the doctors are doing CPR to save life, and when patient’s relatives crying outside worrying about their beloved one.
Btw, i would like to apologize to those in wards if anything i made have upset or disturb you. I knew you're busy and no time to bother me, but thanks because of the helps given.
After all, it’s just part of my working life in GH.
