I’ve left this site for two months! Why two months? Because I was in paediatrics for two months!! Bunyi macam busy tak? Memang busy pun hehe.

October has been the month of firsts for me. First posting of paediatrics, first blackberry-mishap, first end of posting exam and the best first Johor wedding. Lets go chronologically; paediatrics.

To be honest, I was dreading this posting. Number one reason being I’m not a huge fan of kids. Number two: scary paediatric stories from seniors. But voila! I got through two months of play. I know this sounds a tad bit cliché, but hey I actually look at kids nowadays. I’ve always been the kind who doesn’t really care of the existence of these little chunks but I’ve been tamed to such a level where I look at a baby and think of their age range and make conversations even. Cey, bajet power. At least I got look a bit la to these group of people :)

Proud moment over.

Now first end of posting exam or EOP in short. Ahhhhhh I did terribly. Was truly disappointed with my performance after two months in paediatrics. I was given a cyanotic baby and I couldn’t pick up her cyanosed lips!! Albeit mild.. still. A sign is a sign and I think that’s really important la. It was my FIRST CVS case I’ve ever examined (in paeds!). Two months of paediatrics and I’ve only seen 3 cvs cases, 2 of which I was not allowed to examine and 1 the night before EOP whose heart was enlarged and apex beat was displaced. And the 4^th one DURING EOP. Cuak tak cuak. Started off the exam by interpreting the cardiac monitor. Goreng gila. The worst part was I couldn’t catch the murmur :( Turned out the baby was cyanosed and had a pansystolic murmur. I was very honest during exams okay, tak dengar murmur so I cakap tak dengar murmur. Transmitted sounds everywhere. I was also given the opportunity to interpret an X-ray. Yes, a boot-shaped heart (I was actually thinking of it but had no guts to pour it out lol). My X-ray interpretation was.. bad. I need more practice.

But it was a good first experience. That’s medicine la, you keep learning and you learn best during exams lol. Time to move forward ey ;)

Medicine aside. Congratulations to my elder brother for the successful solemnization, satu lafaz Alhamdulillah :) I now have a sister after 20 years!! It was our first Johor wedding, quite an experience. Loved the tol part, and ambo-ambo ceremony (bride and groom had to throw sweets to the floor for people to catch). I got one sweet yayyyy. The kompang performance was too cute. Ahhh. Culture shock sikit hehe. Semoga bahagia ke anak cucu! <3
