Pawned by a Pro

One day, in the ward:

Me: Uncle, I have to take your blood.
Uncle: Har? Why? The Emergency Room fellas tried and can't get them even after poking me more than 10 times!
Me: Why not I try?
Uncle: Better not. Lets take from my highway. I will take myself. The day I start playing with needles I think you are still a freaking small kid. Haha..
Me: Haha.. okok. -_-"

And so the uncle out performed me with a withdrawing of 10ml blood with ease from his femoral veins.

Why is it so easy for him? Well, he's a drug addict. A highway is the vein easily access to them, which are usually the big large veins, such as femoral veins. Drug addict's peripheral veins are usually sclerosed and it makes blood taking hard. Sigh...

UMS Damn Boleh! FAIL!

Look at how a university that claimed to be 'cemerlang' is:


I'm still being charged for fees even when I have graduated!

Sigh.... FAIL!

It's Good to be Back

It's been two month plus since my holidays started after I have graduated. I'm waiting for my government induction. Being free and able to attend every activities planned by my friends, it makes me wonders. I really missed out a lot for the whole five years I'm in Sabah. Some of the things that I missed out:

1) Frequent 'yumcha' session
2) Friends and seniors wedding
3) Some of the cool clubbing sessions
4) Some of the cool events like concerts
5) Gatherings and trips (I missed the Hong Kong trip!)

I have more things to do here than the small little place they call Kota Kinabalu City! Life was stressful there, WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO! Time just passed by slowly. Argh... the agony!

Well, lets talk about something cool. Two weeks ago, me and my La Sallian friends had our yearly gathering. We had two actually. One was a roadtrip to Genting, which was two weeks ago and another was BBQ session, the following week. It was awesome!


Genting Highlands view from Ria Apartment.

We drove there with Yi Quan's and Hui King's car. Thanks to them! Our accommodation was sponsored by Hui King, at Ria Apartment. A big thank you to him again! Being young at heart, we went crazy all over!


Jay Chou wannabe, Mr. Sean Phang.


The two 'bananas' who knows English songs only. The other guy is Gabriel.


A Genting trip would not be excellent without drinking Coffee Bean at freezing temperature during midnight at Resort Hotel.


The group that went all crazy at Genting!

Of course there are other stuffs that we did. But I'm to lazy to describe. The was no hanky panky, though. :p

The following week, we had our yearly BBQ. This time, the venue was sponsored by Gabriel.


Everyone looks full, I think...

Looking back at all the BBQ pictures we took over the years, we do grow up. NOT OLD. But we are still young at heart and does lots of crazy things.

McDonalds Olympic Day Run 2009

Yes! I'm an olympian. Want to know why? Because the certificate from this run was signed by the olympic committee.


I wonder Ronald is running too?


The dynamic trio. From left: Colin, the Neo(of Matrix) wannabe, Honey, the first timer and me, the 'hebat' one.

The run was at Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur on the 12th of July 2009. It was kind of scary as the day was like this:


It's already 7 something and the weather was like this and windy.

If it rains, this would be my first run under the rain. I wonder my Nike pouch is water resistant? If not, I will need a new phone as my phone is my music player for all my runs.

There were so much people although there was not much publicity for the event.


I can kiss my RM 1000 prize goodbye!


Ronald flagged us off at 7.30 am sharp. I didn't notice him as we were standing at the back to prevent being mowed down by fast runners at the front.

The route was nearly the same as the New Balance Pacesetter 15Km run. So there was more down hill than up hill. Thank God!

Still, how can we win when we have opponents like these:


Our Malaysian walk racer, Yuan Yufang.


Kenyans are good runners!

The prizes were limited and the medals were for top 100 finishers only. Therefore I did not have a medal for this. :( But it was a great run though. Fun day to enjoy with good friends while staying healthy.


Here I come! Finishing time: 44 mins 19 seconds (44' 19" 47)


And here comes Colin.


Honey is here!


The finishers! From left: Me, Honey and Colin.


With our great hardcore fan, Michelle Tan. Thanks to her, the photos were possible.

Punishing Inconsiderate Person

It's annoying on the road that when someone, who owns a small car, thinks they need a bigger space.

As we all know, some junctions have left turnings for those who wants to turn left(obviously!) without waiting for the traffic lights. Sometimes the line from those who are waiting to go straight could be quite long.

A considerate driver would stop their car nearer to the center of the road so that those who wants to drive by the side to turn left will not be blocked.

Well, today, there was this Kenari. A very stupid driver who stops quite near to the left side, leaving a very narrow space for a car to pass. There was so much space on the center that I swear that even a Camry could pass by there.

So there I was trying to go through that narrow space. Being unable to estimate how much is left on left side of the road as there was an elevated sidewalk there, I stick nearer to the car. I did not want to hit my side skirt on the side walk.

Guess what the driver do? She just looked on. Not wanting to move to the right side a bit.

The result? I hit her side mirror with mine and give her a stare. Haha.. you might want to know why I did that right?

Well, as you know, Kenari didn't have powered side mirror. Therefore it will be hard for her to adjust her side mirror . Furthermore, it's on the left side of her car. Haha.. try bending over to move it! :p

MPK is Definitely Going to Pawn Them!

I was cycling when I overheard this:

Pakcik: *Shouting at his son who is few feet away* What is the number of the parking lot?
Son(young teenager): *Looked blur* What?
Pakcik: Parking lot number.
Son: *Still looked blur but walking towards their car* 52
Pakcik: *Walk towards the parking machine*

The pakcik owned an old Proton Wira with the registration starting with B** ####.

So the conclusion is this:

1) They have just recently moved into Selangor and bought a 2nd hand car with Selangor registration number. That is why they don't know how to buy the parking ticket. (Parking ticket in Selangor involve typing in your number part of your car number plate only)
2)They are from another state but owned a Selangor registered car and are here for visiting.
3) They are from Selangor and are pure ignorant people that can't even buy parking ticket properly. the parking system has been there since when I was in primary school.

Looking at how hardworking MPK personals are, they are definately getting PAWNED!

Marrying Rich Middle Age Men Does Pay.

It does pay marrying the rich. It pays big time. Look at this:


Siti Nurhaliza before she is married to Datuk K.

And now:


Siti Nurhaliza now, 2009.

Wah lau. She grow sideways. Haha.. good food I guess. :p

Then Singalella must zho sui-sui for her sisters and step-marder.

Tap pai how, buay zhia, buay koon and buay pang-sai.

It's a Damn Political Ploy

WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? It totally proved that politician doesn't have backbone!

Previously he is in support of teaching science and mathematics in English but then it came to this:

"Scrap the policy of teaching Science and Mathematics in English and bring back Bahasa Melayu as the medium of instruction in the education system, said Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim."-The Star

What a dumbass! The books on science and maths usually are from English speaking country. They are the developed country. They published their books, researches, papers and journals in English. Isn't it easier to teach these subjects in English rather than using books that were translated into Bahasa Malaysia? There are such thing as lost in translation. Some translation might be wrong and hence the students might get the idea wrong.

Furthermore, many of us want to further our studies in those foreign countries. Isn't it easier for our students adapt to the teachings in English that are done there if the students are already fluent with the language and familiar with the English scientific terms?

I remember when I first enter medical school. I was in Form 6 before that. Sciences were taught in Bahasa Malaysia. It's a bit hard to tune your brain to remember facts that were previously, for decades, were taught in Bahasa Malaysia.

How can we be a delevoped country when we don't flow with time? Science and maths are currently moving with English medium.

And he must add this:

“This includes not forcing our children to pass English as a compulsory subject in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) as this will result in many students, especially in rural areas, to fail,” added Anwar."

Come on! If we keep protecting those in rurals and not forcing them to move on, the ones in the city will be held back by them. Eventually, both side will lose out!

As a medical student in UMS, we were given a family in the rural area to take care for 5 years. We have to visit them frequently. During this time, I noticed that even with Astro, these people still choose to watch Bahasa Malaysia show in Tv1 and TV2 all the time. They don't watch National Geographic or Discovery channels at all. The reason they don't watch these channels is because they are not fluent in English.

So, isn't it better to make English compulsory which in the end will benefit them? The policy is good. It's an effort to push those in the rurals the learn and eventually master English. How can we have Malaysia My 2nd Home policy for the foreigners, who like to stay in the rural areas due to the green environment, when our rural folks can't speak a sh*t in English?

One of the Best 'Indo Mee Goreng' in Klang

Move away Maggi Mee, Indo Mee has come. Yup, back when Maggi Mee goreng was introduced in mid 1990's in mamak's menu, it was an instant big hit. During that time, it was one of my frequent meal to be ordered during mamak session.

But now, there is Indo Mee goreng. And one of the best in Klang that I have eaten before is in Restoran Sriga, which is in Taman Chi Liung. Here's the location:

Red marks the spot.


You there, the one looking at this pic. I know it's delicious, please wipe you saliva.

One of the main thing about frying instant noodle is not to make it too wet. The one serve at this restaurant does it perfectly. It's not too salty too. Another variety of Indo Mee Goreng can be ordered, which is the 'kosong Indo Mee Goreng' (Just fried noodle without the vegetable). Top it up with a sunny side up egg and it will be simply DELICIOUS!

Damn it! I hate you UMS Medical School!

Tomorrow is one of the best event that I would have participated. But I didn't, thinking that my induction will be around this week as my exams was push forward by my medical school. The reason they did it is because they wanted us to go into the workforce same time as the other university graduates. Even when we complained that making the exams early were too rushing for us.

But they must screw it up for us. Rushing us to fill in the forms right after the exams but in the end, we only found out that our forms haven't reach Ministry of Health(MOH) after nearly one month. What the f**K were they doing with our forms? Not enough toilet papers? Because of that, MOH couldn't register our names for the induction courses.

UMS Medical school, you guys are the worst! Because of you I missed the Standard Chartered KL International Marathon 2009! The vision of being on of the top medical school in the country is still far away. How can you all be one of the best when your staffs work like a bunch of slowmos?

Amateur Trying to be Pro: The Result!

This is what happen when you try to do this:


Yup, Lee Chong Wei's diving save.

But an amateur would end up like this:


My collection of scars from badminton.

This scar was the work of my pro friend, making me run left and right on the back of the court and suddenly ended it with a drop shot. I tried to imitate LCW but ended up skidding and got my knee caught on the sharp edge on the lower part of the net pole. Sigh... more to learn and practice! :p

Men's Singles Indonesia Open 2009

What a game! It's really a great game. How does he do it? Cross court jumping smash. Really magnificent.











Lee Chong Wei, could you do all these to Lin Dan? Come on. You have got to do it!

MJ's Dead!

Sigh! Life is really short. Today, we are rob of a legend. A legend who has dominated the world of pop music when we were young. Micheal Jakson is gone.


Rest in peace. You will always be remembered.

He's one of first English singer that I have listened to when I was young. Way young. The song and MTV that I liked the most was Black or White, where Macaulay Culkin from Home alone, was in it. It's a good song promoting racial integration.

Well, I thought he might pull through his scandal and become the best again. It's sad that he has been taken away before he could fight back. Rest in peace, bro. A legend never dies but live on as great memory!

One of the Best Bak Kut Teh in Klang

Lets talk about food. How about Bak Kut Teh. Yup, when you come to Klang, of course one of the food you have to try is Bak Kut Teh. People in Klang will give you lots of places to eat bak kut teh and you will have a headache trying to choose. Today, I will talk about one of the famous shop to ease the headache.

The shop that I will be talking about is Restoran Tek Seong. It's situated in Taman Rashna Klang. Where is Taman Rashna? Well, it's actually right opposite the Bukit Raja Jusco, which is actually on your right after the Shah Alam Toll, if you are coming from Kuala Lumpur. Another landmark for the 'taman' is that you will see a tall building with Maybank signboard on your left, after the Shah Alam Toll, if you are coming from KL. Here's the map:


It's marked red.

What is so nice about this Bak Kut Teh, you might ask. Well, it's the original Bak Kut Teh. Original means they serve only meat. There will be no internals or claypot bak kut teh. There will also be no 'char kuey'. Just rice and a bowl of bak kut teh. Yup, this is what we call original bak kut teh.

Lets talk about the food. That is the main thing of this entry, isn't it? For start, the price is good. For RM 7.60 (as of this entry date) you will get a small bowl. But...yes I did say but, the small bowl is actually big. If you don't believe it, try looking at this:


Yup, this is the RM 7.60 small bowl. For Rm 9.10, you ca get a bigger bowl.

The taste of the bak kut teh was very good, from my opinion. Due to my healthy eating habit, I found that the soup, which is actually the main thing about bak kut teh, was lacked of oil. However, the taste was still magnificent. The herbs' taste were blended properly. There were no overpowering of each herbs. The soup was not too thick or diluted.

The meat was tender. Not too soft or too hard. The portion of fats were also reduced in the meat. The owner's son told me that the secret to reduce the fat of the meat is to cook them for 2 hours. It means that they will start cooking at 4.30 am before their shop open at 6.30 am. Another secret was their meticulous cutting of the meat during the preparation on the whole afternoon before the business day. Yup, they put so much effort into bringing such a nice dish to their customer.

Business starts at 6.30 am, as stated above. If you go on the weekends, you might encounter this by 7.00 am:


If you are late, you will have to wait. Business is good.

They don't do lunch or dinner. Therefore, to enjoy nice food, you will have to wake up early to eat. The bak kut teh will usually sells out before lunch time. One of the best dish of the shop is the pork ribs. It is usually in high demand but this particular dish is limited due to the time needed to prepare the dish.

By the way, this shop is so famous that Ah Hong, the famous TV chef, came to try the dish out.


The newspaper cuttings of his visit.

After this review, I hope you guys would rather wake up early for this delicious meal.


Yum Yum.

I'm a Bloody Doctor. Not a Salesman!

God damn it. I just got woken up by my mother's friend. The reason? Just to tell my grandmother that the product she gave her is good for her health. Another reason why I should tell my grandmother that? Because I'm a doctor.

Hello lady? You woke me up from my rest. Yes, I'm A BLOODY DOCTOR. But MMC doesn't allow us to use our status to tell people how good a supplement is. Ka Na Sai! Want my license get suspended even before I start working is it?

My New Car

I have a new car. And this is it:


I name it KITT, since I'm a fan of Knight Rider. :p (Perodua Myvi SE)


Just after washing and polishing with Turtle Wax.

A view of the interiors:


Leather covered steering with SRS airbag and ember red optitron meter.


Double DIN player with USB and bluetooth function.


Leather seats.

Time to go for a ride!

License To Cure

It's finally here. My license to cure is finally here!



Now, all I have to do is to wait for my induction letter. Hmm... holidays or work? I think I would rather choose holiday though I'm rotting now. :p

The Hairline

This just happened last week:

Girl: Sir, do you have hair problem?
Me: Nope.
Girl: Are you sure, sir? Your hairline seems to be very high.
Me: *Cheeky grin* Oh, that. Well, you see. I have studied in such a high level that my brain grows. Don't you think that my skull should grow in order to fit my big brain?
Girl: *Shy* Oh.. sorry sir
Me: It's okay. *Walking away like a cool dude but laughing sinisterly*

The Move

Well then, finally I'm going to blog here since most of my friends are blogging here. Furthermore, Friendster are dying fast. No point blogging here. However, most of my old blogs will be here.
