Hari Raya this year has been an enjoyable one so far. So far, cos it's STILL Raya. Satu bulan berpuasa, satu bulan berhari raya, mah! Haha!

De Perjumpaan Hari Raya at sch was an eye-opener for me. Cos nvr been involved in such an event before. Sure, there were mistakes aplenty, but ofc, must make an effort to improve, right? There's still abt 2.5yr left for me in NYP, so insha Allah, I guess that's more than ample time to improve, ya? :)

And de jalan Raya? Lagi best lah seh! Was out every weekend! Always have somewhere to go this yr. And this DOESN'T include de houses of relatives yet! Which is kinda sad. De not going to relatives' house part, I mean. Maybe by next yr, hopefully I can get my Class 3. Then like that, jalan raya would be lagi, lagi best lah. Haha!

And alhamdulillah this yr, I got collection. Funny or what! Haha! Thou de sad thing is, usually de case would be I get collection money, and it would be used up on de very same day, cos of transportation. Jalan late until de nite, then kena take cab home lor. But nvm, cos de most important thing is de silaturrahim and de bond that's strengthened when going visiting. :)

I guess that's abt all for now. Let's enjoy some pics!

NYP Yr1 '08 15/9 - 3/10 with Beatrice


Just us guys.

It has been a great posting. I've enjoyed each and every single day of this 14-day attachment. A very big thx to all who have shared with me ur knowledge:

AN/SN/SSN Ash, Bee Kuan, Bincy, Christine, Diyanah, Diona, Gina, Kitnet, Leah, Loretes, Mr Yeo, Mummy, Poh Hoon, Roann, Radin, Rose, Sri, Yama, Yi May, Yiyan, and ofc, de big mama, Clinical Instructor Beatrice. And a Sister who caught me wearing uniform with sandals. Hehe..!

Last Fri marked de end of de 3-week attachment at NUH Ward 58, since de 15th of Sep last month. I totally enjoyed myself during this 3 weeks. Somehow it was more fun to be actually putting what I've learnt in sch to practice - with real patients, as compared to just learning it in sch. I'll defly miss being at 58. De ppl there are such a nice and fun bunch!

It was a tiring but fun first day of Hari Raya Eid for me this yr.

First up in de morning was helping out for de Muhammadiyah solat raya at Toa Payoh stadium. Was supposed to sleep at Pusat de night b4, but due to some miscommunication, never did go there. Slept at home instead. Thing is, I overslept lah. Haha! But did made my way there in de end, thou a bit late. As usual, set up de place. And by that, it meant putting up those blue plastic thingies. Rolls and rolls of them, which are duly discarded after one use only. A waste really, but it doesn't make sense to clean and keep it for use another time. Cos there'll be a logistical headache as to where to keep it. Sigh..

I was somehow made de official photographer of the event. I had a great time going ard and snapping, as compared to doing de tabung rounds. Ofc both roles have its importance lah, but I just find taking photos more fun. Imho, I took nice pics lah, but as it isn't my cam, I nvr got to see it uploaded to a computer. Pics look diff on digicams as compared to looking it on a computer. I hope de guys up there are happy with my pics, and find some pics suitable for publication on Tajdid. Hehe..

De clearing up of de stadium only ended at 11+, and when I was at Toa Payoh central, I realised I had forgotten to take my red baju kurong. So I made my way back to de stadium. Met with Qai, who told me he didn't see any red baju kurong. So alas, it was in vain. But somehow losing that didn't matter much to me thou, cos that baju costed me only $10, as it was only de top. Heh.

Back home, it was helping my mum to entertain de guests. Topping up of de kuih-muih, serving drinks, going down time and again to Sheng Siong cos not enuf chicken for chicken rice, an uncle asking me to buy for him cigs, cos his ran out blah blah blah. My mum's de eldest, and since de passing of both my maternal grandparents, every1 comes to my place on de first day of Raya. It's quite sad, cos I miss those times when on de first day, every1 including myself, would gather at my maternal grandmother's place, and de atmosphere would be so jovial and joyful. De first was Bik Wati and family, and after they left, de guests kept coming and streaming in. Abg Ipar's family came too. So it was like so kecoh lah seh. Which ofc, was fun lah. It's like as if de jovial and joyful atmosphere being at my maternal grandparent's, but de only diff was that it's at my place.

At night, I followed Cik Oli and family in his car to Yai Dol's place. Since my maternal grandma has passed away, Yai Dol is de next eldest, so every1 would go to his place, after mine. It was nice to at least go to ONE place on de first day of Raya, and not just be stuck at home.

So yeah.. that's how it was for de first day of Raya this yr. Tiring, cos of entertaining de guests, but fun, cos of getting to meet cousins.
