Motorbike For Two

Earlier in the afternoon, a motorbike skidded and threw away its passengers. Guess who were riding the bike? A mother , a daughter, and another daughter. Apparently the mother and her elder girl were fine, only sustained minor bruises, but the youngest one suffered a head injury. She was only about 7 years old. Paediatrics team was called to help in resuscitation. The ED team couldn't get an intravenous access. Surgical team hasn't yet arrived. 

When we arrived in red zone, the MA managed to get a line at the left cubital fossa, so we inserted another one at the right dorsum of hand. Child was conscious but in pain. A CT brain was done and verbally reported as no intracranial bleed, just a haematoma with facial injury. A secondary suturing was planned later and patient admitted to paeds ward for further management.

A motorbike is meant for two people only, regardless the size or age of the people riding it. If those family did that because they could not afford a car, then pity them, but if they did that for the sake of getting hurried...I hope they learn their lesson. I suppose the mother must be in deep guilt. We pray for the family to be strong and the girl to recover from the injury.

Moral of the story:

Be careful when riding/driving

Motorbike is for two people only

Wear your helmet

Wear your seatbelt

Drive with safe distance

Control your speed

Get your vehicle serviced

Recite prayer before travelling

Think of the loved ones

Alahai A&W...

Kerana pekerja seorang, rosak satu restoran. Peribahasa baru.
Alkisahnya tadi adalah pertama kali aku makan di A&W. Ditakdirkan dua rakanku dari HPP datang bertandang dan ajak berjumpa di situ. Aku pun order Mozza set macam mereka. Dapat drinks with float dan ring fries tu. Burger lambat sikit siap, staff tu kata akan hantar ke meja.

Fine. Aku kembali ke meja, lalu rakanku mula bercerita masalah mereka. Mereka masih lagi HO di sana. Sedar tak sedar dah setengah jam tunggu. Aku pun kembali ke kaunter. Staff yang sama masih ada. Dia nampak aku datang tapi muka dia biasa saja (aku expect dia akan teringat balik burger tu dan buat muka bersalah). Tapi dia tak ingat pun sampailah aku tanya kat dia.

"Encik, mana burger saya? Dah setengah jam saya tunggu." (Sopannya aku panggil dia)
Dia terus pusing belakang, dan nasib baiklah ada sebiji burger yang dah siap di situ. Dia ambik dan letak dalam tray.

"Minta maaf cik, ini burger cik."

Masa tu aku dah renung tag namanya. SAB**.

"Setengah jam saya tunggu.Manager ada?"

Berubah muka dia. Dia jawab perlahan sangat.

"Maaf, saya team trainer, bla..bla..." (aku tak boleh dengar dia kata apa)

" Apa dia?"

Masa tu dah ada seorang customer beratur belakangku. Dan seorang lagi staff tengah usha dari tepi kaunter.

" Maaf cik, saya Team trainer. Tadi saya keluar kejap. Maaf cik."

"Oh, team trainer macam ni la?"

"Maaf cik."

" Sab**, ya?" (sambil tengok tag nama, kemudian mata dia)

Aku ambil burger tu dengan gaya tak puas hati. Tray tu aku tinggal saja.

Aku balik ke meja kami, lalu rakanku sambung cerita. Tanganku terketar-ketar dah menahan marah.Masa tu aku terfikir, balik nanti nak search internet dan buat aduan/komplen online. Nama staff dah ada, branch pun tahu, apa susah. Tapi lepas tu aku fikir, takpa, aku maafkan dia. Aku pun kerja dalam bidang yang involve "customers", kadang-kadang boleh terbuat kesalahan, dan mesti rasa tak best bila dapat komplen pasal hal yang tak besar sangat pun.

Lepas tu kami bincang masalah sampai pukul 10. Aku tunggu staff dia datang bagitau restoran nak tutup...masa tu aku nak kata, " tadi burger saya lewat setengah jam, so saya nak duduk setengah jam lagi, boleh kan?" 
Tapi tiada staff yang datang. Mereka terus tutup lampu sebagai tanda restoran nak tutup.
So, bad impression on first visit to A&W.

Reviews on food and beverages:

Burger - sedap, meat well cooked, the taste is much more better than Burger King
Ring fries - tak tau nama sebenarnya apa. Rasanya weird sikit, macam ada herbs.
Drinks - terbaik, ditambah pula float ice cream vanilla. Cuma gelas tu ada sumbing sikit. Kalau injured bibirku macam mana?

Total tiga benda ni dah RM15.30 including segala tax tu. Hmmm kalau aku beli nasi goreng dengan teh o ais boleh dapat RM5.30.

Next visit to A&W? Maybe.

All the best to both my friends yang still struggle to complete their housemanship. You can do it!

Have Some Faith

Faith is believing, when there is nothing else you can do....and many other definition of faith.

Alhamdulillah, praise be for Allah Who created the happiness and sadness in our life. He asks us to work, put on our effort, and hope for His guidence. The end result comes second.

A few of the Niners have already visited Pja in HUSM. Good progress, alhamdulillah. She is no longer on inotropic support, able to open eyes upon calling and seemed trying hard to speak. Last week, when her eyes were still tightly closed, she communicated with her tears whenever someone spoke to her. Hopefully she remains strong till she recovers, if Allah wills.

Being a lone ranger, I have difficulty travelling far, especially to a place that I am not familiar with. I only able to send prayer from far. Whatever happen to her, it is the best plan from Allah.

Shut Up

If you can afford to celebrate birthdays in hotels, you don't speak about maintaining peace, development and prosperity, because you don't even know what is hardship and surviving hardship. You were born in a golden tray and being fed with a silver spoon. So, what do you know about the value of RM1?

An Unplanned Journey

Since I saw the advertisement, I'd always have the urge of wanting to go. Such an opportunity to meet great leaders and listen to their speech - something that I should not missed. Ever since I've learned about jamaah Islamiyah, I have become more aware on politics. Politics are part of religion, it cannot be separated and we cannot just ignore it.

This year, PR won the popular votes but BN won the majority votes. Yet the majority governs the country. Unlike in many other countries, popular and majority votes are won by the same party.

It was a quite busy day. I left home straight after work with empty stomach. I was so keen to attend the forum, so at the last minute I got myself ready and drove to the venue. Traffic was smooth. I arrived around 8.35pm. The hall was half occupied. I chose a seat on the right wing. Sitting with the Chinese, Indians and Malays, I felt no other than comfortable. I saw a few people approaching the panelists for autograph and photos.They were YB Zairil and YB Ong Kean Ming. 8.40pm, YAB Lim Guan Eng arrived with big applause. Looking smart in his white-black batik suit. He gave a good opening speech.  He stopped his speech to welcome the other two panelists who just arrived from Selangor. Dr Zulkifly Ahmad, the think tank of PAS and YB Rafizi Ramli of PKR, who received the loudest applause. Everyone in the hall know him and like him most. Majority of the audience were Chinese. At this time, the hall was super occupied. Extra chairs were arranged at each available space.

The funny part is when we were told that they actually invited the SPR Chairman as the fifth panelist but he did not reply. So his seat was empty. Seeing YB Zairil live for the first time - good looking Malay with Chinese look. He joined DAP in 2010 and became the youngest in the Committee (forgot the name). He speaks good Malay, anyway. YB Ong from Parlimen Serdang. He presented some statistics regarding the last GE and revealed some stories to us. Then came YB Rafizi Ramli - such a jaw opening presentation. He graduated from UK, worked in Petronas for several years and travelled to 34 countries before. He received the most attention from audience. Everyone respects him, regardless of race and religion. He has good public relation skills. Lastly, Dr Zulkilfly Ahmad, someone I've long wanted to see. He did not make it to defend his seat in Kuala Selangor by small majority. His speech was too bombastic - many phrases that are too high level for me to understand, like a philosophical languange. I had to leave the hall in the middle of his speech anyway, as time was getting late.

Such a beneficial forum which I will not miss in the future. Now I know more about the leaders in my country, regardless of their political stand.

The Panelists. Notice the empty seat at the end?

The devastating and shocking news came early morning. A friend of mine is currently in a battle between life and death. She delivered her second child at KBMC and later on developed massive post partum haemorrhage. Six litres of blood loss...Allahu akbar! She collapsed and had to be resuscitated for 40 minutes with 5 defibrillation...able to be revived but with DIVC and multiorgan failure..a uterine repair was done in HUSM and now she is in critical state in ICU. Her newly born baby is healthy and fine.

Allah the Almighty..such a sad news..from a healthy, beautiful pregnant lady, now she is at the verge of going... She was my classmate in MRSM and UCC..we were not that close but we were always nice to each other. It is even more heartbreaking when she actually wrote on her FB wall last Friday about her mixed feelings of getting to the end of her pregnancy..and that she wondered if she ever get the chance again in the future...Maybe Allah had already sent her the sign..

Being intubated, ventilated and supported with 3 inotropes, her prognosis is very poor. She already had multiorgan failure and her heart stopped beating for about 40 minutes...too long for her brain not to suffer..Being a medical practitioner, I know that her condition is not good at all..but miracles do happen, because only Him will decide what will happen ahead...

Be strong Pja and family...she has another little boy, and her husband is my senior in MRSM too..

Last week I received another news about my MA in ED HPP who just had a baby. His wife developed sudden breathlessness post partum and collapsed..diagnosed with pulmonary embolism.Intubated for some time and proceeded with tracheostomy.Now in vegetative state.Allahu...

Pregnancy is such a high risk condition. A total physiological change in the  body could convert a healthy woman into a morbid woman and even death. I still remember during my second last oncall in labour room about two years ago, we had a patient pregnant at 34 weeks who developed a sudden breathlessness. Her oxygen saturation could never been above 90% even with high flow mask. She developed some kind of heart condition. She had no family history of heart disease and was previously very well. We transferred her from labour room to CCU. She delivered via LSCS but after a few days she was gone...left her little baby and her husband.

That is why woman who passed away at labour is considered syahid...

So everyone out there should be grateful to our mothers..how they went through 9 months of pregnancy and later on fought with the labour pain and many other complications.

May Allah ease Pja and her family.

Selamat Hari Ibu
