Belly Good (oppss.. non halal ! )

Aloha~ I can't believe that I've been updating this blog for a year... seriously... reading back to my 1st post... my writing is still as bad... maybe I need a little more practice...

Anyway... just feel like introducing a restaurant to u guys... especially those studying in KT... i know i know... it's pretty hard to get a good meal of pork in this small town... I mean... the town with small population of Chinese.. hehehe.. even the 2 bak kut teh shop available here doesn't fit the category of delicious... i will just put it as... edible... XD

Manage to sneak back KL for 3 days during last weekend... thanks to Labour day that fall on Sunday... which means... extra long weekend for us to take a breath..

As usual... my dad will always do his best bringing me out to taste the good food in town... pork noodle, bak kut teh, dim sum and of course a restaurant that only serve PORK!! honestly... the 1st 3 food that i mentioned just now is almost like a routine... he will always bring me to the same place whenever i go back KL but trust me... they are good!!

Okay... it's time to introduce u guys this shop... u will recognize this shop once you see it for the first sight... there's two little boar head on the sign board of the shop and they are really cute... i wonder how they get pass the government to put up the sign... anyway... that's not important... the food is!!

"Belly Good" the name of the restaurant and with 2 pig head!!

Lets start with the grilled pork belly... the 3 layered pork belly was marinated with the in-house chef's so called irresistible sauce... it was the best of all... many people don't really enjoy the fatty layer of the 3 layer pork belly... including myself... however... i must say the chef did a very good job on this 1...

Pork belly~

2nd goes to the different variety of sausages... off course.. they were all made of pork and each have their very own way to tantalise your taste bud... it was an easy meal for those lazy people who don't like to trouble themselves with the continuous usage of the knife... a good recommendation for girls...

4 different types of pork sausages..

If you wanna try out all of them... I will suggest you to go for the Trio platter... it's more worth it compare to the mixed platter... because at the same price of RM29.90, u get to enjoy an extra pork chorizo sausage with grilled pork belly and pork rib... good suggestion for 1 time go-er...

The trio platter!!

Since we went there way past lunch time... there's practically no other customer around... so my dad bragged that he actually reserved the whole restaurant for us... cheeeh waaaah... we were given a complimentary set of pumpkin soup from the owner and the taste was awesome... the creamy sensation with pumpkin flavoring inside your mouth makes u feel like you're swimming naked in the pool of pumpkin soup... okay I know that's a little bit exaggerated... hahaha...

Complimentary pumpkin soup!! =)

anyway... it was a good lunch and thank you JIE for paying the bill!!! you're the best!! ohhh btw... this shop is located near Sunway Pyramid... directly opposite row of shop from YUEN's steamboat restaurant (which is famous for their 烧鸡翅)... just search for the 2 pig head sign and u will never miss it... =)

PS - go try it when u are feeling rich~ hope u all get what i mean... XD

Public Health Campaign

In conjunction with UCSI University's 25th anniversary, Terengganu campus's School of Madicine organised a public health campaign at Mydin Mall...

It was a successful event as we able to achieve the objectives and create awareness in the public about their health.. mainly in chronic diseases such as Diabetes and Hypertension... over 300 participant had been screened and SNZ hospital able to collect more than 50 packets of blood that day... which according to them it was a good amount... Besides... there's also quite a number of people pledge themselves as an organ donor on that day itself...

Nothing much to say here as there's a video available and it was nicely done... Just to promote UCSI University's School of Medicine here... A good choice for students that feel like taking medicine in Malaysia... At least up till now I'm still happy that I made the right choice... hahaha... I wonder if UCSI will pay me for helping them advertise here... LOL...

Just for my own satisfaction... please don't read to prevent bias... =)

Not that I'm going to show off here that I'm good at organizing event... just feel like sharing out something after yesterday's Public Health Campaign and some "event" that just happened today (I guess most of u already know lah.. no need mention dy)...

After participating in numerous big and small events... I've seen and work with different kind of people and trust me... what I see today just reminds me on what happened during secondary school life... It's just the same... people just want to get praise and claim credits, showing off their rank and position.. what worst is these people din't even really make themselves useful during the event... sometimes I just feel sad for people that work really hard with full commitment and end up involve with some issue over credits and power...

Compliments must be given to the chairperson (Shee Ven), committee members and all the students that really helped out the event... I must say it was a very successful one and trust me... u guys really did an awesome job (especially Shee Ven)... (Will update about the event on a different post later)... our committee members are bunch of dedicated people... it's nice to work with u guys.... =)

okay after all the long winded bla bla blaaa... I will just type my own feeling about the PHC and the "event" that happened... partly i just wish that maybe somehow the person involve will read this... *note - this is just for feeling expression and full with more bla bla blaa... please continue reading if u have insomnia... if not... please ignore me and go do other stuff... i bet u will just fall asleep after reading it... XD

2 days before PHC... some people with "Very high" post in the student council just asked our organizing chairperson if we printed brochures to be distributed in the hospital (trust me.. not in a well mannered way)... well.. we did not print any extra brochures to be distributed in the hospital prior to PHC... why should we?? is it rational?? i don't know... let's go for the main objective of a public health campaign... to create awareness around the "healthy appearance" public about certain disease which portray "iceberg phenomena" such as diabetes and hypertension... okay... so tell me... would anyone in the hospital which is already undergo regular follow up or treatment is considered as our target group?? and will distributing extra 150 brochures in the hospital increase the amount of participant during PHC?? For me it's just simply a non-productive publicity which will waste our time and money... Besides... if somehow u have any "brilliant" idea... why not say it 5 months ago while we started our very first few meetings?? it's obvious that "someone" just want to show off their power as if they are some "big shot"...

Well... things doesn't ends just there... it's just the beginning.. thank you for spending your precious time reading it and i will continue with another example which happened during PHC... while everyone is busy setting up for the event... our dear "big shot" just stand there and ask questions, trying to show that she is someone in POWER... now i must make things clear to her again... during an event... the Organizing Chairperson is the HEAD... KETUA... not u... not student council... it's the whole committee... so if u really wanna help us out why not get your hand dirty and start helping us setting up?? instead of just standing there and "showing your face"...

End up u say 340 participants is not enough... well... did u at least try to help us usher more people to our event? at least i will be grateful if u manage to help us get 1 participant to our event... seriously yesterday i was pretty annoyed when i saw u standing there doing nothing while others working like mad... besides... why just show your face during "important" moment where lecturers and other "big shot" is there? where were u when we are cleaning up the area at 5pm??

Well.. seriously if u din't create another "problem" today i guess i will just quickly forget about your attitude yesterday... the way u act today has just totally humiliate us as a medical student... not to forget that u are some "big shot" in student council... please don't men-siasui-kan us... if u wan something... ask nicely as u mean it... we have eyes and ears... respect others if u wan others to respect u... u are not the only one that holding "high post"... more than half of us in the class were head perfect, presidents, chairman and experienced leaders during high school... don't be too proud of yourself...

Last thing mention is some guys in our class are kinda sad case... what kind of man are u if u just wanna sit there measure blood pressure and leave the pamphlets distributing and ushering job to the girls... come on... why can't u guys just go and distribute it under the hot sun instead of the girls?? (this is only for 1 or 2 guys... not for others that helped out yesterday)... memalukan lelaki saje...

I must thanks all the members that involved in publicity for helping us distributing the pamphlets around Mydin... I know most of us have been rejected as the public taught we were some direct selling people... It's not an easy job and not many people will see your hard work and appreciate your effort.... I know u guys did well... especially Thomas... so paiseh have to drag him along with me for the whole day... Others u know who lah... no need to mention name here dy... if not it will be very lengthy... =) (special thanks to kev, kamal, francine and jiyin too~)

Ahhh... can't believe I wrote this much... I can be very nice person as a friend... but don't challenge my limit when come to organizing event... I'm okay with slackers but not power hungers... 如果你喜欢拿别人的屁股当脸皮，那就尽管拿去吧，我们的屁股肉很多。哈哈哈！anyway business is business... nothing personal here... maybe because of this i always wanna help out in events but not becoming a committee... thank you for your time~ i bet it's a good lullaby... Good night~

Fishy March~

It's sad that year 3 O&G posting had come to an end... I must admit that I was kinda lucky during my end of posting exam where I got a case which already been discussed... i bet my mother must be praying hard for me everyday... XD

Just another random update on what actually happen in this month... first of all.. I must thank all of my friends that made my birthday night early this month a memorable one... the so call "surprise" at the beach after bedside teaching was abit weird though.. haha... went for supper at kedai ikan bakar after the "surprise" and was awed again with the combination of almost all the secret recipe's cake, cards, presents and a bunch of AWESOME friends... Thank you all once again!!

thank you all for the wonderful moment!!

O&G definitely is the posting where u can rest a little and cool down your brain for a little while... the amount of stuff u need to read is "slightly lesser" than in Surgery or Internal med... not that i say it was a easy posting but definitely it is way more interesting compare to others... learning in the labour room were the best... it feels like u are working in a factory where mothers come in, deliver the baby, make sure both of them are safe, and send them home with an extra member added to their family... u feel rewarded when u can successfully guide the baby to this world... a friend of mine told me that i might just delivered the next Osama... haha.. bro.. i might just delivered the next Obama!! LOL...

Fortunately i was able to observe how ventouse delivery is perform in real situation... it was a case for prolonged second stage of labour... took her almost 2 hours to deliver the baby and time is definitely running out... although the baby is full of meconium... it was lucky that he survived without any complication other than the chignon on his head...

Ventouse baby with chignon (don't worry.. it will usually resolve in 2-3 days)

Twins delivered!!

Was given the opportunity to help out the seniors with their public health campaign last week... It was a busy day for us and we definitely gain lots of experiences... hopefully tomorrow's PHC at Mydin mall will be a good one... we got a very dedicated chairperson!! pray hard it won't rain tmr!! *throw dried chili around the area* note - it was our school scout tradition to throw dried chili around the gathering ground before campfire... they say this will prevent the sky from raining... LOL... I bet Lord Baden Powell didn't teach us that in 'Scouting for Boys'.

Last but not least... the McD breakfast craziness and Jiyin's ability to finish 3 burger in 15 minutes mark a very good end for stuffs that happened in March...

our hero!! ate 3 burger in the morning!!

these people ahh... summore tapao for lunch and dinner... =.=

sometimes I just miss the good old days... =)

the so called "supermoon" during 19th March..

was playing basketball with bro at Bukit Jalil...

PS... RIP for those fishes that passed away in our aquarium due to the parasite infection... currently there's only one last fish in it.. stay strong!! (he is so fat now as ah bi over-pampered him with all the fish food)

Cajón

Katy Perry's Firework (Boyce Avenue cover)

Press play while reading this post~ XD

Found this beautiful piece of music instrument while listening to Boyce Avenue cover version of Katy Perry's Firework... I've been repeatedly listen to this song (so many times!! almost once everyday)... last week this particular sound produced by a box (look just like a stool) which u can see it in the MV somehow grabbed my attention... tried google for it and finally found it's name!! Meinl Cajón~

It was a type of percussion instrument that said to be creation of Peru's slaves in the late 18th or early 19th century when they work for the Spanish Colonial America's shipping ports... They uses wood crates from the port and turn them into Cajon drum... This is to replace the native drum they left back at their country and also during this period of time... slaves are not allowed to play or possess any music instruments and will be punished if they get caught with one... Hence.. to avoid being punished... they uses the drum as stools to disguise their wonderful music instrument - Cajon... so this is how it was created... Nice right?!!

This is how a Cajon look like...

Hopefully I can play with it one day... enjoy the song!! =)

AHH!! another month is gone... man February really is a busy week huh... decided to sum up what happen before all the event is faded away from my memory... it seems like I'm developing some sort of short term memory lost...

Manage to travel back to KL early this month for our family 拜天公 "Bai Tian Gong" ceremony... thanks to Lai's and his housemates for the sudden plan to go back KL... It was fun to enjoy the fireworks and firecracker by my grandma's neighbour... Best part is to observe how the "Mata" drop by and say "Gong Xi Fa Cai" to my neighbour (Take "ang pow" from my neighbour la.. XD)... Burning those joss papers and the paper-made "Temple of Heaven" is also one of the long awaited event during the praying ceremony which I really enjoy much when I was young... Now I rather say I love the roast pork sharing moment... where my dad will chop the roast pok into pieces and share among our family members... Lucky I get to go back and grab my portion... hahaha!!

The "Temple of Heaven"

offering to God...

roast pork!!!! sry ah this picture is non-halal!!

stacking up the joss paper... ready to burn!!

dad's pro skill in chopping the pork!!

Chinese new year fever doesn't stop even when I come back KT... was invited to Chinese new year event organised by 慈济 “Tzu Chi” organisation... watched some really meaningful videos on recycle (again) and was impressed by the way how they turn plastic bottles into clothings and donate them for poor people that suffer from natural disaster all over the world regardless of race and religion... passed the candle light of lotus “莲花灯” and received a special ang pow before the event ends...

ang pow and candle light during the event

special coin by tzu chi inside the ang pow!!

Not to forget our UCSI KT campus very own CNY night organised by medical students... spend almost a day decorating and preparing for the event... It was a pretty awesome night with amazing fan dance by our year 3 CF and IF students, Lai's magic performance, lion dance and also not to forget games and sketch prepared by Kev... I can say it's a almost perfect night... we have a bunch of very dedicated organizing committee... (PS>> CF means Chinese Female and IF means Indian Female!!)

wonderful decoration!!

Lion dance 1~

Lion dance 2~

year 3's CF and IF performing in fan dance.. well done!!

Finally, UCSI University 25th anniversary sport carnival on last weekend... another busy weekend where we have to reach school at 7am!! bye bye to my sleeping time!! (usually i will subconsciously sleep until noon during weekends)... Representatives from other university around Terengganu join us for the 2 days event... Games such as Futsal, Basketball, Badminton, Ping Pong and not to forget Captain ball is available for everyone to participate... As predicted... basketball champion belongs to UMT's "pro" and off course Badminton champ by Naresh from UCSI (don't play play.. he wakil negara 1 leh!!) it was a very tiring weekend and most of us end up in different kind of injury... Get well soon (esp Victor and Kumar)!! (btw... the curry puff during day 1 taste better than day 2.. XD)

Welcome to the world!!

When most of the people busy celebrating Valentine's day... I plan to make my very own "single appreciation day" a memorable one... when other people helping their wallet to reduce weight I'm making mine obese... manage to cook myself instant noodle before rushing for the night's BST with Dr. Nasir... After that.. all the fun begin~ It's labour room time...

The plan of the night... Not going to go back until i delivered a baby!! it's not a busy night after all... there's still plenty of empty bed for new mothers to deliver... manage to deliver 3 placenta from 3 new mothers... It was my very 1st time conducting placenta delivery... The main thing you have to do is control cord traction (CCT) or also known as "control control tarik" by those funny nurses in the labour room... when I 1st grab and twisting it out... It feels like u are holding on a big bag of warm jelly... make sure nothing is left behind the mother's womb by digging every single clot out after the placenta is delivered... Behind every healthy baby, there's a healthy placenta!! Make sure the cord have 2 arteries and 1 vein... check the length of the cord, the maternal and fetal surface, the cotyledons and finally place them in a plastic bag and return it to the mother... Malays will bury the placenta with respect as appreciation to the special organ for supporting the life of their baby... something new I learned yesterday night...

Placenta!!

Finally... when time reaches 3am... my long awaited mission finally arrived... The baby is coming out!! This time the nurses asked me to conduct the delivery as they already get used to my "existence" in the labour room... someone that's not a space occupying lesion (SOL)... really fun when they acknowledge you as part of their team... it's amazing when u are the 1st person to touch the newborn when they come to this world... every single part of the baby is touch by me 1st including his bola-bola~ hahaha... after cutting off the cord, place the newborn at the mother's chest and ask her to identify the gender of her baby... very important mother's touch...

My very first baby~

the baby appeared to be blue... was incubated for an hour..

examination of the baby by a on-call pediatrician

Right: Another picture of my first delivered baby... handsome boy with big eyes and eyebrows..

Left: pretty girl join him after an hour... delivered her placenta...

be careful when you decided to let the mother to hold on to your hand when they are pushing... they will have unbelievable strength that will causes numbness to your hand... at 1 point i taught she was about to crush my bone!! (no la just joking)...

immediately after I delivered the baby, that same bed was occupied by a women with intrauterine dead fetus which is already at 32 weeks of gestation... half an hour ago the same bed had just happily welcome a newborn to the word... and now.. it's sad to see the disappointment in the parents as they've been trying very hard to get themselves a children... I guess that's the cruelty of the reality...

Well... it's a amazing night after all... so many hand-on experience is acquired... easier than reading books... when time reaches 7 in the morning I decided to call it a day... I've been awake for 38 hours and standing for 11 hours... I guess that's the actual life of a night duty... My gown is stained with bloods and I totally smelled like a placenta... Head to the beach for the sunrise before going back home for a nice bath and my comfy bed.. Thank God it's holiday today... To all the new Valentine babies... Welcome to this world~ U all made my day!!

the beginning of a new day... for me it is time to sleep!!
