Ina is a MAN

Faggot or fag, in modern North American and Australian English usage, is a generally pejorative slur term for a gay or effeminate man. -WIKIpedia-


apparently, some person named Ina is a man... hehehehe... so saper2 yang nama ina tu, kena careful la ekk :P (no offense).

whoever who chose the name and company logo ni tak cukup ilmu betul! i saw this while passing thru penang. if i were the driver, MALU dowh!

lain kali, if you know that it's gonna be permanent....RESEARCH RESEARCH REASEARCH!!

sah sah menyuSAHkan betul! (how HSAH works)

i arrived at the hosp today at 0742 hours because i was told to come early for my ortho appointment today. the registration counter opens its doors at 0730 hours, unlike what is stated on my ticket here. see, i was just 12mins late and my tkt is number 087!! CRAZY!! what time does the first person come to get tkt number 001? maybe he/she camped outside the hosp like how ppl camped on the streets to go for american idol audition?

i tot my eyes were deceiving me when i saw that they were only serving number 029! haiisshh... what to do, might as well sit down and wait kan? good thing that i brought along my notes to read for friday's continuous assesment. haisshh... stupid arr, why can't they have it today or next week or on sunday?? because of this blahdy CA, we can't go back for a long weekend in regards to labour day. siott betul arr....


*read read read*


*wait like tunggul kayu*


then, finally, my number was called. went to the counter and was given a personal data booklet for all my hospital affairs. i tot i no need to pay cause i am a student and i was seen by the ortho in that same hospital, see see, they say must pay. aiyaaahhh... whatev la. so long that i get my knees checked, i don't care leyy...


*walked upstairs to the ortho outpatient clinic*


*gave my booklet to the counter and in exchange to that, i was given another number*




"haaa....adik dok sana dulu na. tunggu dr. hensem mai. dia mungkin lambat sikit kot sebab dia oncall hari ni, dia tgh buat round"


haiyaaa.... must wait some more. aku dah la ada discussion hari ni and i don't want to miss that.


-after some minutes of waiting, the nurse called me to see another doc so that he could order an x-ray for me. agaknya, the nurse kesian tgk me lidat, waiting like batu lesung sambil reading my notes. nasib la she observant-


i went to see the other doc and he asked me of my complaints. so i said the same damn thing that i said to 2 other docs that i have seen earlier. entah macam mana, dr. hensem has written in the reference letter that i complained of both knees instability, padahal only my left knee is bothering me. so, this doc cancelled the complain and wrote there that he is ordering for only one knee x-ray.


*went downstairs, walked round the lobby to go to the x-ray dept*


*gave my booklet to the counter, i was given another number*


aiyaahhh.... ni kalau kumpul kumpul, boleh cuba beli nombor lottery ni. mana tau sekali kena, terus baik kott lutut aku. hehehehehe




see, my number was 017, and there were only serving number 004. another episode of waiting. dah kematu (corny la bak diajar djambu) dah my ass. i sat and read my notes again until about 20mins later that i decided to ask the ppl at the counter how long was it gonna take to be my turn. he said, about 20 more mins. hmmmm.... malas la i want to wait. i know that for sure mesti terlajak punya. biasa la government institution, mana pernah on time. eh kejap kejap, ada masa they mmg really on time: masa makan, masa balik, masa amik gaji. konpem!


so, to fill my time with productive things this was what i did:


*run run run..... gi masuk ward nak tengok kalau ada interesting case*


*sampai ward: "alia, did you just ran from the campus to here?". soalan bodo yang aku malas nak jawap sebab jawapan dia takde dalam skema semakan jawapan SPM 2020*


*cari saras, nak wish dia "happy 58th" birthday hehehehe.... takde arr, dia baru 24 tahun"


*no interesting case, infact, no patient!! this is a hospital kan? the last time i checked, i am in the hospital.... ke aku tersalah ni?? rasanya dalam penjara lagi ramai orang. pelik.... *


*nevermind la... at least boleh cuci mata see the student male nurses.... ahhhhh, eye candies!! ;P*


*alamak! look at the time! run run run.... turun balik to the x-ray lab*


see see.... blom sampai number 010 pun. hampeh sial, tunggu je la lagi. nak buat apa kan. at least boleh study sambil tunggu.


when my number was up, i went to do the x-ray. guess what? the doc ordered for x-ray to be done on my RIGHT KNEE!!! eh, aku sakit KIRI la, KIRI!! kenapa la want to do the right knee? haiishh.... this shows how good they are.


after all have been done, i even met with the ortho HOD, he said that there is nothing wrong with my knee, but he could see that the right knee has some degree of volvulus (lari allignment) when i walk. the x-ray looks good he says. the pain and discomfort that i feel may be due to the fact that i had surgery done on my leg before. he says that i should put on my knee guard whenever possible.


ok, so he says that my knee is ok. but why the hell do i still feel the pain and the disability? hmm... kalau macam ni, baik aku tak check je kan. aku takut DVT je cause i had varicose veins. takde pula they do doppler study on me.


doc ordered to do bandaging of the knee which i didn't go to have it done because it requires more WAITING ( i totally lost my ability to wait already). he also presrcribed some meds which i did not take also because i need to take number la, wait la, this la, that la.... baik takyah. i'd rather be in pain than take the meds. so, lepas doc dah cakap like this, aku terus blah. bye bye bye (tune to n'sync).




ni dua buah lutut yang mmg kawan rapat sejak lahir. derang kena conteng tadi sebab HOD made me (with my consent), the subject for other medical students to learn. i was glad that i could help.

ni KANAN, dia tak sakit. dia lah yang tolong jadi support group selama ni masa kawan baik dia sakit. dia pun cool aja, tak sakit, tak demam. tu sebab dia ada pingat (anklet) kat ankle dia.

ni LEFTY. sian dia. dia tgh sakit. dia pernah kena operation. walau dia sakit, dia tetap menjalankan tugas dia masa red pergi gym ke, jogging ke. dia tahan sakit woo.... very the brave one.

haa... since the doc said nothing is wrong kan, aku malas nak fikir byk. sakit mmg la sakit kan, tapi tahan je la. untuk take my mind of this matter, i went to the gym. lagi happy.

ni dia my nordic reading after 50mins on level 9. tgk the CALORIES i burned :8) . but i don't think i burned that much la. macam illogical gila. prolly i burned like 100 cals je but the mesin want to tipu me and make me feel better kott hehehehe.....

whatever la, as long as i exercised kan?

can one arr?

i have no idea if this really works or not. i got it off the e-mail. just wanted to share with you guys. saper yang berani tu, haaa... cuba la ekk.. nnt kasi tau apa cerita.

patut la harga beras melambung tinggi. selain dari menjadi makanan ruji masyarakat serumpun, ia juga digunakan sebagai tempat menyorokkan alat2 elektronik yang canggih dan mahal yang dibeli sebab nak menunjuk pada ahli2 keluarga dan jiran tetangga, yang telah bak kata orang, "masuk air". tapi pada hakikatnya, pada zaman la ni, terminology "masuk air" bermaksud ketandusan kredit pada talipon yang walaupun berjenama blackberry ke, dopod ke, iphone ke menda ke, tapi habuk pun tarak sebab takleh menjalankan tugas primarynya iaitu.... membuat panggilan. nama pun talipon kan? kalau takde credit, baik simpan je dalam beras tu buat tapai.

nanti jangan lupa la keluarkan alat2 canggih ni dari beras ekk. karang nak masak, termasak lak benda2 ni, dah jadi satu hal......

renung renung kan lah

whoops!

"shaites!! i shouldn't have said that."

"shut up already you freak!"

"oh my, did that just came out from my mouth???"

said alia to alia. yes, i do talk to myself, sometimes....

have this ever occured to you? things that you don't mean to say but they magically find their way out from your brains -> vocal cords -> mouth?

don't deny it, we ALL have gone through this, in a way.

there are many things that i have said that i regretted or maybe glad that i actually mustered the courage to let it be heard. it is not something that i plan, it is something that my subconscious mind has, for sometime, kept in its long-term capacity, and has crawled it's way out. ok, if it is in your subconscious mind, this means that whatever it is that you have just said, you have actually thought about it in a long period of time.

somethings that you can't even tell anyone abt it just burst out from your lips like a painful boil that needs emergency drainage. i know that i have hurt many by being so blunt. it is not something that i am proud of actually. but that is just the plain truth. the truth hurts, that is a fact. sometimes, what i said is misintrepreted by the other and it is totally not my fault. well, i do have my share of misunderstanding others' msgs, but i promptly apologize. i guess, if it was meant to be said, then it was not wrong that i have said it, kan? it is just that the other person who hears it either have to accept it, or let it go. either way, at least, i have relieved my mouth diarrhea heheheheh

other times (thank GOD for that!), whatever that i accidentally said, makes others happy. bukan la aku nak simpan my ego or anything, but i am just afraid to say it, you know. but if you give/say something too often, for example, a compliment, a praise, thanks...whatever... people tend to not appreciate it and infact doubt the sincerity of it. well, to heck with THESE kind of people right? hehehehe

i am writing this because i had an episode of WHOOPS! 2 days back. crap embarassing la. aiiyoo... don't know how to reverse it. but then again, as i mentioned before, if it came out without you planning it, then there MUST be a reason for it to be heard.

thinking outloud is my obsessive compulsive disorder. yeah, i wanna be in a group too.....so will the OCD yuppies take me in already?

what do you think?

i HAD to snap this picture from the papers today and i FEEL STRONGLY that i HAD to post this up.

the headline for this was:

"WINGS to perform in planet hollywood"

after seeing this, do you think....:

• that this member of the famous rocker band is really living up to his title as a rocker that he has to wear holed-up clothes to look the part?


• that it is true what they said, artists/celebrities don't actually earn that much, he can't afford to buy a new pair of jeans? it is just us, the lay-people who think that they are living THE life as potrayed by the mass media.


• that he did not realize there is a hole in his pants, especially there in the groin area?


• that i am observant to the things that are insignificant?


• that this hole came to happen while he sat for the picture?


• that maybe, just maybe, he forgot that needles and threads DO exist?

ieee....malu malu.....*>.<*

LOVE ACTUALLY....is all around us

i just (not really la... almost an hour and 15 mins already) came back from a movie screening right here in the campus. we have an international movie club here in our uni (thank GOD!). if not, ok, i am no racist k, the only movie that they will air here are indian movies. please la, think of the others and widen your horizon. ok i understand that you are proud of your culture and shaites, but there is such thing as BORING. i am pretty sure that they (the indians) also want to watch something else other than indian movies. exposure is the key to knowledge (yes, you can quote me, and keep that in mind!).





so, back to the screening today. LOVE ACTUALLY was on and i was really looking forward to it. i remembered vaguely watching it somewhere before. but as soon as the movie starts, i can't quite remember the scenes. so, i guess it must have been a dejavu for me.



LOVE ACTUALLY is like the english version of CINTA (malaysian movie which i think was very well done and of good standards, could be in the same line with movies from yasmin ahmad -i regard her as good standard movis maker-), which now has an indonesian version entitled LOVE. all these 3 movies revolve around how love may be potrayed in everyday lives. be it among lovers, friends, families, across the nations, gays, straights..... anything at all that reminds you and me of love.



i can't shake the emotional feeling that overcame me while (and still is overcoming me) i was watching the movie just now. i feel sick....really....LOVE SICK. iewwwww...... what is happening to me? i mean, the most cacat part of all, i have all the feeling of love, but i don't have someone to share with (ie i am single). of course, i love my family and friends, but i am sure you understand what category of love i am babbling about here. this feeling seems really odd for me because i have been out of it for 3 years now and i think i totally forgot how to get into one. does it come with a manual?



seriously, after being single, yeah, i tend to be shy with the person who i think i might like. then, i either screw it up or let the moment pass, and then, i am back to square one, being single. i enjoy it actually but sometimes, no matter how much i hate to admit it, it gets a little lonely.



if love is so sweet, i'd be ready with insulin. (by all means, quote me)
