Eye & ENT

It has been a week am posted in Tuanku Ja'afar, Seremban. It is quite interesting and exciting for a new start though. Basically not many cases but mostly are cataract, glaucoma, corneal ulcer and such. The patients here are also friendly and teachable. I am in the same group with hooi ting, joan and calvin. Hahahaa XD... I am with Calvin for 3 semesters! Wow.... Why ah?? hmmmm... (360 degrees). I enjoyed working with them so far. I feel so much happier and joyful being with them. With the lame jokes and teasing each other in the ward. And even patients smile when seeing us smiling. I guess that's how it should be in the ward. NEVER allow them to have "papaya" faces. They gotta be encouraged and that's what NURSES should do! I learnt a lot from how the patient look, act and behave in front of me. I am glad they like us and enjoyed our company. Heheeee... It's definitely a PLUS you know?

One day, I picked up a call from the anaesthetic  doctor and was slightly harsh towards me. Maybe I introduced myself a student nurse so maybe that's the reason. Perhaps, they're rather busy and wouldn't wanna waste so much time. Jo and I started a joke, .: STUCK UP:. Well, it just between us only. It keeps on our mind to be humble and kind to people. Any moment Jo, Cal, HT or even myself tries to be perasan or unintentionally not humble, we'll just say to each other, "stuck up, ppl". Hahahaa... XD We will just laugh over it and remind ourselves to always be humble. As we humble ourselves, we can learn and be more teachable. Just like Dr. Sheila said in CF S'ban the other day about Be faithful in every little things. This is also mean that we appreciate every talent that God has blessed us with. So being teachable is also a gift. I am sure I wanna be teachable too. :)

That's what friends are for. To keep ourselves on the right track as they correct you. Friends who compromise does not help but put us into danger. I am glad for the people around me. God is really been good to me! :)

Embarked Into Needy Ones

This is rather a late post but gonna post it anyway. My lecturer arranged a wonderful visitation to the MAB and NKF. Hahaha.. just in case you don't know what is it, let me drop a little information into your neurons! :)
MAB stands for Malaysian Blind Association whereas NKF stands for National Kidney Foundation. Well, it was included in our lecture hours cos we're in semester 4 and we're studying Eye & ENT and Renal. As well as Integumentary, Haemopoietic and Endocrine. Hahahaha.. sorry for the medical jargon people! forgive me k. :)

We visited the place along with Ms. Kavitha and Ms. Inthira. We had a great time. We get to see the chief deputy of the organisation, Mr. Godfrey. He was really friendly and nice person. Through him, I have learned a lot about the blind and how much they have to go through in their life. Imagine we have eyes, but we see things that we shouldn't see and such? Teenagers nowadays are indulging into abusing their sight through unhealthy stuff. well, I wouldn't want to mention but I know everyone are aware about it. He was born prematurely and was given saturation oxygen. This has affect his sight and he has premature retinopathy. I would pity him at one moment, but another moment I could see his determination and strength that is in him. I know I shouldn't pity cos they wouldn't want us to think so too. He really live his life to the fullest. He is very successful person yet he still come back to MAB to serve them. *salutes*

Then, we visited a couple of places there. The IT center where they trained low vision people to learn to use the computer. Ah huh! The screen resolution was super duper big!!! I finally knew that there's people has low vision. When I was younger, I was always thought there's people with sight or no sight. I guess I'm rather too innocent. Hahahaha... XD Following that, we went to the social skills room. They teach them how to communicate and use Braille. Well, it's good for them cos they don't know how is like in the outside world. It is to prepare them mentally and physically before they live independently. Then, we went to the children center. I couldn't stand the tears in my heart seeing the children suffer so much. One of the child, Adam reminds me of Adriel. But Adriel is more fortunate than him. He couldn't see and hyperactive as well. However, he responds when I spoke to him. We seems to be able to cling together. I have a lot passion towards young minds like them. But one touches my heart is when I have to leave the place. Adam held my hand and wouldn't let me go. *sobs....* He touched the deepest part of my heart. But to make it no so obvious, I joked to his mum, "saya bawa Adam balik la k". His mum just smiled at my joke. I could see in her eyes the tough times she going through. I just pray that she will be comforted and watched over.

Hmmm... then we move along to the NKF. Nothing much cos not many patients and we're just allowed to visit for awhile and mainly just to see the machines! issshhh.. I thought I could spend some time with the patients and chit chat. Hahaha.. XD that's what I always do when I am in the ward. Especially when I have nothing to do! seriously, I would find something to do. I think that's why I also always work OT a lot.

Honestly, I have great experience learning through other people's experience. I like the way Calvin said. "hey, it's school trip time, prepare water tumbler k". It does reminds me when I was young, go for trips and learn something new. It was really great for a 22 year old like me. I will never admit old cos I will always want to have a young mind and heart. If Mr Godfrey can say 61 years old is young, so am I! heheeee.... :P

Marchiee Birthday~

Yesterday, my batchmates celebrated my birthday along with Maria and Eyvonne. It was a surprise cos I never expected. Hooi Ting just asked me whether I wanna go for dinner or not? But at the same time I wasn't really hungry. Then, she said I will be hungry after 3 hours. Hahaha.. She seems to know the physiological part of my tummy ooo.. Surprisingly, all of them came along for dinner except for Chucky. I had spicy grilled chicken chop + cucumber lime juice. I was checking my wallet just in case I have sufficient money to eat. We had a great time together and they also bought a cake for us the TRIO. Koh Koh gave me a camera and I did make full use out of it. hehee.. fortunately, I always carry it along with me.

Before, during and after were just photoshooting... I guess my interest towards photography has becoming deeper. :) Caryi even asked me to join the photography club to sharpen my skils.. hehee...:P
So called the "farmer's  family" quoted by Malathi XD

Mal and Prav with their portugese baked cheese chicken rice... (such a long name)

The Marchiee Trio

Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Maria, Eyvonne and Me... :)
Am just too happy that God has blessed me with great family and friends. I am truly blessed!


Well, after celebration we had our finale photo together.


Guess what? I got an "accidental prank" from my batchmates. Well, they didn't have intention to do it but it happens so naturally. At first, I walked to Hooi Ting car to get my umbrella. I was thinking I could follow Michelle's car to go back home. Hahahaha.. guess what? While I was walking back, Michelle started driving off. So I said to myself, it's okay. I can follow Hooi Ting's car then. But unfortunately, before I could say or do anything, Hooi Ting just drove pass me with a "bye" wave. (she didn't realised I was LEFT BEHIND). As usual with my blur state, I also waved back to her. Then, I realised I am LEFT BEHIND. So then I called Malathi and said, Oi, I am still here le! They all started laughing... At that moment I was thinking was it a prank on me? But I don't think they're such people la! :) So Malathi said she'll send someone to "save" me. hahahaaa..LOL... I was laughing to myself too. However, it wasn't for long till I see 3 big and fat rats in front of me. I wanted to scream but I just held it in. It was really huge man. I was thinking to take a picture but my camera battery ko edi. Michelle came and picked me up, and we're laughing non-stop in the car. XD
Honestly, it was the greatest unforgettable memory ever! 

Thanks to my dearest N108! I love you guys. You guys pops and rocks~ *group hugs*

Sincerely from the deepest down of Rae's heart~

My Love


Jesus, my Love
Unto my soul, I commend..
 the love that is in Jesus
Unto my spirit, I sing...
 the love that is in Him.
Put a ring into my finger ...says the bride
put your hands onto my palms... says the bridegroom
And feel the pierced hands
and know that I always loved you .
