Daorae

Last night, my mother decided to bring us to indulge in good food so I suggested Daorae because my 1st time there was good (and it was FOC thanks to RG hehe). Our first choice was Desa Park City's Rakuzen, a Japanese restaurant but it was a Saturday and it was 7ish so the place would be packed hence my suggestion =)

Let me introduce you guys to Daorae a bit. It's a Korean BBQ Restaurant and what I love about this place is the refillable Ban Chan aka side dishes and free food they provide. We ordered 4 types of meat and a bowl of cold noodles and they gave us a free Korean pancake and fruits and rice tea which tasted like barley but extra sweet.

Besides the food, the service there is good too!! They help you BBQ the meat and even joked around and the way they do things are just so professional that makes you really enjoy yourself. They bow and greet you with "안녕하세요" (An nyoung ha seh yo) when you walk in and bow you out from the restaurant with "감사합니다" (kam sa ham ni da). Well, I did enjoy myself and I really ate to my satisfaction even though it was just my 2nd time having a Korean meal (It's really an advantage to have someone familiar with korean food to order for you =)

The branch I went was the Kepong branch and for your information, the famous TVXQ came to this specific branch for their meal!!!

Picture time =P


They use this to BBQ so this is the real authentic BBQ style wei!!

One of the Ban Chan - Kimchi

The pork, waiting to be BBQ-ed

Wrap the meat with this lettuce, add some sauce and the spicy and crunchy fresh green shallots and stuff it into your BOG mouth. YUMMY!!!!

The spicy and crunchy fresh green shallots =)

The free Korean pancake!!

The cold noodle, I think is some cucumber something. I forgot, I just know that it was weird to have cold noodles but I guess it's really cool and refreshing if you eat this during summer (I don't know how hot or cold is the summer since I have not left Malaysia before).

The 1st time I went with Jayne, San, RG and KF, we were at the 2nd floor where we sat on the floor like this picture.

For those who didn't know who TVXQ is =)

Anyone want to try Korean food, this place is highly recommended!!!

Jonathan Chew Ruzhe is buying me a new HP

Yes, Jonathan Chew Ruzhe is buying me a new hand phone.

Jon, it's the Sony Erricson W705. It was RM1300 but now it's about RM1100 so get that for me ok?? Hehehe =)

Poor Jonathan who escaped the orientation was left alone wondering in IMU and he didn't even realise he's in the library when I asked him where is he. My hand phone has lost it's vibration since ages ago hence any sms or call will not be replied or answered if I do not check my hand phone. It's my habit of leaving it in my bad untouched because I seldom take the effort to look at it =P

So sad lonely Jon was trying to contact me but I did not reply hence he send me these exact words
"Grr! I am gonna get u a new phone for ur 21st bday i tell u!"
sent at 3.10pm on 25/08/2009

So yeah!!! A new hand phone for my birthday!!! I am so looking forward Jon!! Hehehehe!!!!

***********************************************************************

Met Timothy, Paul's brother and Jiun Liang (we share a mutual friend) and funnily JL and I can talk like we know each other for a long time even though we met for the 1st time. A sem2 junior (his OO) thought we knew each other before this and was surprised when we told him that's our 1st time meeting each other and we share a mutual friend only. Well, our conversation practically evolved around our this special (his celaka) friend LOL!!!! Hey you, what stories did you fed him huh??!!!!

I am trying not to commit too much in this orientation but somehow I am slowly being drawn into it. I float around Group 6, 10 and 2 since I know people from these groups (group 6 coz of my previous juniors). Well, at least it is helping me getting over my missing-hospital-syndrome. LOL

tired

After 3 weeks of electives and coming back to uni should not make such a huge impact right?? It's the same old waking up early and out of the house.

BUT

Somehow I am more tired than usual, even though I am waking up later than when I went for my electives. What's happening??

1st day of Uni

My Uni life started off with meeting June then Jonathan Chew. He looked, normal. I expected him to be more professional looking with him wearing formal shirt and tie and all BUT don't know why I kinda see him wearing his 3 quarter pants and his "sandals". LOL

Met lots of batch mates and suddenly became so hyper. Catching up with everyone and being talkative, it's so tiring. Anyway, went for lunch with Jing and listening to her telling me about her electives made me miss my team of doctors even more. (I'll get to that later) Jon called me but MY PHONE NO VIBRATION so i didn't know he called. I actually smsed him and asking where is he at 11ish but no reply so I didn't bother checking my phone after that.

Suddenly, I saw him walking in with Jo Yee and her friends and he BLAMED me!!! Grr..Jon!!!!! Since Jing has so much to tell, I didn't dare disrupting her flow of words. I was trying so hard to catch her words because the cafeteria was very noisy that I didn't even notice that Jon, Jo Yee and gang was gone!! EVIL JON DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER SAYING BYE!!! What a friend!!! LOL

Lectures at 4pm is not a good idea at all!!! It was either I was too hyper hence I was sleepy OR I was just sleepy. But either way, I don't like 4pm lectures!! It's going to end by 6ish and if I want to go home, I'll be squashed like a pulp in the KTM train. Worse, have in contact with suspected H1N1 people up close. I hate hate hate 4pm lectures!! Unfair, because we never had 10.30am class before!!!

********************************************************************

I MISS MY HEPATOLOGY DEPARTMENT'S TEAM OF DOCTORS!!!!
=(

Ended elective with a bomb!!!

This morning, we went to the hospital at 6.15am.

WHY?!!!

Because the Health Director-General Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican came for the morning rounds and he is kinda the head of head department of Hepatology. Anyway, he is not nice and he is VERY sarcastic and he made all of us emo. Can't blame him because we can't answer his questions properly BUT he 'scolds' the MOs, specialist and I think sometimes the consultants. He put so much stress that we can see that some doc are VERY nervous that they pant and have SOB while presenting their case to him. It was really a rare sight and we kinda have a taste of how houseman will go through.

Actually some doctors kinda warned us that he'll target medical students. There was this one doc that wanted us to go so badly because he wants us to be the target instead of them. Mean mean evil Dr.Sara!!! But overall, the doctors there are like one big family and I kinda got attached to them =(

I MISS THEM SO BADLY NOW THAT I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK UNI!!!!

I was emo after the morning round which lasted from 6.30 to 8ish am. I felt bad for making some doctors get more scolding because Tan Sri blamed them for our short of knowledge. Pity them. I really feel like coming back on Monday LOL.

Oh well, at least I did enjoy my electives =)


PS: I did not go in detail but the session with Tan Sri was gruesome and Thamarai actually told me her legs were shaking!! Yes, that scary!! Guess because we were IMU students and we carry IMU's name there.

End of Elective and back to Uni

Surprisingly I have been in the hospital for 3 weeks (This is the 3rd week)!!!
I am kinda used to be in the ward at 8am and I know I actually enjoyed myself there even though it can be so boring sometimes.

I am so going to miss this 3 weeks and the fantastic doctors there!! Seriously!!

Today one of the consultant praised us "good good" for able to answer his question.
Then later another specialist said we are good for coming everyday.

2 praises in 1 day. Wheee...Even though it is the 1st and I guess the last time getting praises =)

I wonder how does the doctors remember all the theories?? They really amaze me!!! I envy them!!!

Yesterday I went home early and had a long afternoon nap (4ish to 7ish) then slept again from 9ish to the next morning and I HAD A BAD NIGHTMARE!!!!

I was in the exam sitting for some paper when suddenly I teared my question or answer paper and I insisted that I got to go home to take some cellotape to tape the teared paper!! Somehow, in the process of going home and going back to the exam halls, weird things happened and I could not make it back in time to finish the remaining questions. I woke up with palpitation and I was so scared!!!

NEVER TAKE NAPs when you are not used to it.


PS: I don't look forward going back to uni =(

Over the craze

Ya, I think I am done and over with the craze with that something.

Maybe because I got what I seek and woke up from that weird craziness.

Haha, it's up to you to guess what I am crazy about but it's not important since I'm done and over with it.

I think.

I hope.

Oh please, please let me let go of this craze!!!

I think I am crazy

YES!!!

I THINK I AM CRAZY!!!!

VERY VERY CRAZY!!!

SHOOT LA!!!!

HOW??!!

GOSH!!!!

ARGH!!!!!!!!

Sudden change of emotions

Since the start of holiday, I had a moderately constant feelings, not too happy or too sad.

BUT

This week especially today, I went through a mode of VERY happy to just happy then to annoyed then to angry and lastly to depressed. I have no idea why the sudden change of emotion just because of certain news received at the moment.

Elective today was fun thanks to June. We were practically trying to match make her with her head of surgical department Dr.Chan then changed topic to how many kids she'll have to our future of being a doctor. We were all just laughing our heads out at the cafeteria.

Next, Thama and I went and continued our electives and I was still in the happy mode.

Later in the afternoon, I was still stuck in the hospital alone because my dear mother was settling her case at court. She told me it'll take an hour but she took longer than that, she took almost 3.30 hours!! I was annoyed because she did not reply any of my messages and I was a little hungry. The food in the hospital was so limited and kinda dirty looking, so not appetising.

Next, when my mother was on the road and being her indecisive self again, it made my temper flared because she was wondering whether to go to Selayang Mall or Jusco and she always do the last minute turn which is so DANGEROUS!!! It's not the 1st time she's doing such thing and mind you I was tired, hungry and I don't want to meet with an accident or die.

I just went and check the sem 4 time table and found out stuff that I don't want to know. It's not that bad honestly, just need to hang in there for the new system and hopefully after endocrine system it'll change but another news made me felt so depressed. My best friend is going to move out from her house because she had enough of the things happening there. She'll be staying out, stop receiving allowance (she actually stopped receiving months ago), stop using the car which was her 18th birthday present and start a job (something that is not related to what she's studying such as salesgirl or something along that line)!!

I am so worried.

It may sound easy to just move out, rent a room, work and survive but I honestly think it's not that easy. Even though you might find it shocking coming out from me but I do feel that family is important. I don't want her thinking that she has finally let go and escaped but getting trapped again 10 or 20 years down the road. Blood relationship is not that easy to be forgotten and let go. I am deeply concerned with her decision. She sounded so happy with that plan and was so glad that all her friends are supporting her decision but somehow I do not support it completely and I really feel bad.

SHE tried to talk sense into ME but I just feel so unsettled, so worried, so depressed. I don't know why am I feeling so but I'm just having such unexplanable feelings. I know she was unhappy living there but I just feel that it's not a right and rational decision. I know if she reads this she'll be so disappointed but I just can't help feeling that this decision is not the right thing to do. Hopefully she'll change her mind within this 3 months before she finishes her degree and really excecute her plans which I doubt so. What I can do is just to pray hard that she'll be happy where ever she will be.

I am sorry....

Suspected H1N1

Anyone of you were more alert about your own hygiene lately or have been avoiding crowded area??

Well, I bet most of you did nothing particular to be more cautious because I did not really bother too.

UNTIL

I got a call from my ballet teacher stating that there's a girl from another ballet school who has been confirmed having that virus. Problem starts because all the ballet students (including my ballet school) who joined the end of month ballet concert has been going to that small studio for rehearsals and that girl went too even though she was having high fever!!

Why am I so worked up??

BECAUSE

My sis is involved in the rehearsals and she has been contaminated. If she (touch wood) gets the virus and start having influenza symptoms, I might be having high risk of contacting it too since my sis and I share the same room and I am having my elective in the hospital that has H1N1 patients!!!

Reality hits me and suddenly I am worried. Something I thought would not happen to me might be happening and getting worried now is too late!!! OK, I am not that anxious already but I am sure taking more precautions!!

You guys out there, take care!!!!

I wonder why is the government not shutting down all the schools.
If A is suspected to have the virus, she will be quarantined at home. (Before she went to the clinic/hospital, she has been sneezing and coughing in class and in the public). The parents and siblings lead a normal life, going to work and school and public places. When A confirm having the virus, the whole family or only A gets quarantined BUT the family (and A) who have been contaminated has been spreading the virus unknowingly. So I wonder, how good can the quarantine program help in reducing the spread of H1N1??

Haze is getting worse too!!!

My only car at home just broke down and I wonder how am I going to the hospital tomorrow!!

Bad day... =(

************************************************************************

Having someone to write things like this for me really makes me feel weird.
Well, what to do. I am too good as a friend =P
Joking!!
Next week still electiv-ing then another half week and break before class resume.
Classes will be at 4-6.15pm. I hate this timing!! We never had 10-12.15pm!!
UNFAIR!!!!

electives

So far, electives is kinda boring. Nothing to loom forward besides the morning ward rounds. After that there's nothing to see because the MO will key in new data into the system.

But I am thankful to have a kind consultant to talk to us =)

concert night

Well overall, they could have done way better but I guess butterflies in the stomach, mouth dry, panic and all the emotions in this category (sympathetic NS) just made them not perform their best.

There were a lot of out-of-tune, out-of-timing, squeaking from Clarinet section and things that a not-well-prepared band will commit. But since this is not MY band, this is the SCHOOL band, I'll just let all these not affect me. This year would be my last year helping out in such concert anyway.

I was the master of ceremony last night and it went smoothly for me. The previous concert, I was also the master of ceremony. Based on last concert, Jayne and I (we were both the emcee) was forgotten so I assumed it would be the same hence right after we ended the concert I went straight home.

When I was on the way home, messages started to flood in

"Jene, where are you??"
"Come take picture with me."

Opps, too bad. I'm already on my way home and after replying all the messages, I felt bad because hey, this is my last involvement in the concert too =(

So sorry guys, but thanks for remembering me =)

Highlight from last night
-Instead of the full band playing all night long, we had musical ensemble.
-We had juniors singing and dancing (boy, SOME of them just should not sing)
-Mr.Chong (my band tutor) danced as a cowboy along Jay Chou's "On The Run" [牛仔很忙]
-Mr.Chong sang Jay Chou's 菊花台 [Chrysanthemum Flower Bed], a song from Curse of the Golden Flower while the band was playing the same song LOL
-The whole band sang "You Are Not Alone", dedicating this song to the retiring seniors

Well, I enjoyed myself even though I was soaked wet (the hall was so hot and I was wearing long sleeves!!).

Anyway, Good Job band...I'll surely miss you guys =)
