Since the MCO took place, my life rotated between the apartment and the hospital. I rarely go to the supermarkets as my husband will do most of the groceries shopping (usually after his post-night shift). Our schedule are shift based as people know. Most of times, the moment we leave the hospital is when the supermarket close.
Still, we have food to cook and eat, alhamdulillah. And surprisingly, from the 1st day of Ramadhan till now, we managed to cook ourselves (our aim is not to order outside food hehe)
I miss the beach a lot too.

| The view from our room :) pretty! |
I am currently reading The Art of Letting God by Mizi Wahid. The book is not that thick, but I honestly took longer time to read. Not because the book is boring or what, but the contents are beautiful enough for me to take my own sweet time to enjoy.
There is a part of the book sharing about "You Have What You Need"
Human is a creation that usually gets disappointed when we don't get what we want. Our aim is that the moment we ask for something, that something should be given. In this book, you can enjoy the idea that actually Allah has already given the 'ingredients' to get that something.
For example, we want to excel in our studies. Of course we need some efforts to reach the destination. We are blessed with knowledge shared by older researchers or teachers that are contained in the books. That can be the ingredient for success. Books = knowledge. Others can be experiences, some skills that need to be polished from time to time. To be an adult as we are today, we need to grow as a baby to a kid, then to a teenager. We don't simple born and suddenly became an adult, right?
Life is a process.
Prayer is a process too.
Even if we failed, we surely will learn something if we have tried our best. I love the lists in the book about what we should look forward to despite failure:
- A greater aptitude for patience
- A richer experience of life
- Personal growth
- A deeper sense of gratitude and satisfaction
- Strength to overcome future challenges
- Grit to get through the dry seasons
- Resilience during tough times
Keep on living and learning :)
Always see things from the good windows (read as perspectives), yea?

Happy Labour Day!

Today morning, just before Subuh prayer, a patient came with complaint of generalised itchiness with periorbital edema (means - bengkak di sekitar mata) that made his eyes become so small, I barely can see.
HCW : dah berapa lama dah jadi macam ni pakcik?
Pakcik : masuk hari keempat ni, pakcik pun taktaw kat mana silapnya. Bangun-bangun tidur, terus jadi camtu, pastu pakcik pergi klinik, dia bagi ubat gatal, ubat allergik, ubat sapu. Tapi makin teruk pulak bengkak kat mata ni.
 |
| If you received medications like these (only tablets with label of symptoms), please kindly ask the clinic to write down the name at least. Is it piriton, prednisolone? It is tricky even for us to know the names of medications just from the tablets. |
 |
| Something like this. Wikipedia |
Maybe there was some allergens on his bed, maybe some insects, or maybe some food he ate before. The patient denied any history of food allergy. Though he had some allergic to an analgesics - pain killer (unsure name), he denied any history of taking analgesics prior to symptoms.
At first I got confused if this is allergic reaction OR anaphylactic reaction (which the latter is worse), I quickly read back the notes shared by one of my favourite medical officer and found this.
Going through by systems:
Skin - yeah, pakcik got some itchiness all over body with periorbital edema.
Respiratory - he denied any problem with breathing - no shortness of breath / chest pain / wheezing etc. And the lung was okay, no wheezing (wheezing ni selalu jadi bila saluran nafas jadi sempit, macam orang kena serangan asma.
Gastrointestinal - he also denied any abdominal pain / vomit / diarrhea
Cardiovascular - no history of dizziness / shock / fainted
Neurological - none as well.
Diagnosis:
Allergic reaction secondary to ? cause.
Intravenous cannulation done, we decided to give these medications given:
- IV hydrocortisone 200mg stat
- IV piriton 10mg stat
- IV ranitidine 50mg stat
After discussing with senior about IM adrenaline, there is less harm than benefits to give... though this is allergic reaction (not anaphylactic) - so, IM adrenaline 0.5mg stat.
We reaccessed patient about 30minutes later, the first thing he said "Nak, pakcik dah boleh nampak, terima kasih, nak." We can see the swelling around his eyes already improved much! He claimed the itchiness also had improved, hence we decided to allow him to go home with some medications.
A thing about this pakcik was he kept on smiling through out his visit in ED, soft spoken as well. Dah la mata tengah sepet, senyum senyum lagi la sepet pakcikkk.
--------------
I always feel anxious to work night shift in Emergency Department. With this current Covid situation, staffs are distributed to many teams, hence, I need to survive on my own feet managing the Non Respiratory cases (green zone, yellow zone and red zone). Every single night shift, I will always pray for smooth shifts and the senior MOs working on respi team will not be annoyed to share their opinions for management. Alhamdulillah. the senior MOs, staff nurses, medical assistants are helping a lot and HO colleagues are good as well :)
Till next story :)
Salam Ramadhan semua.

Self Reflection from Ebit Lew's Beautiful Words
April 26, 2020
After reading these tweets on Twitter, I decided to read more about Ebit Lew. I know his name was famous ever since the Movement Control Order (MCO), when he directly go from one hospital to another to support the preparation for Covid Screening. There were lots of posts flowing on my Facebook timeline at that time, which amazed me a lot. He spent huge amount of money to help those in need.
But, I don't really understand the current issue when he decided to take a break till MCO to be lifted later.
Otherwise, he is an impressive Muslim, who makes me reflect how much have I done for the community. I pray hard that Allah blessed me with my job's contributions as I am not that active in social contribution like him. -_-'

Kita kongsi untuk semua ambil manfaat ??
Here, he mentioned a lot about prayers. Yeah, solat tiang agama kan? Simple but most of us take it for granted T_T. I realised as Muslims, we tend to get farther from Allah, especially when we are blessed with ease, happiness, success at that time. But we forget that all those rizq are from Him.
Every speech of him are very eye and heart opening. Sometimes, we tend to search for others' mistakes forgetting that we are human too, so we also make mistakes. Here, we need to practice to see good in others.
Hidup kerana Allah, do things for the sake of Allah.
I need to always renew my intention every time I treat patient with this mindset. For Allah, for Allah, for Allah.
May Allah bless him and us :)
Ameen!
Salam Ramadhan everyone.

Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum | Book Review
April 14, 2020
I bought this book in Popular prior to previous BBW visit. Actually I separated books I bought from BBW and the rest so that I would like to make sure I read at least half of BBW books (just to feel it worth my money travelling to KL for them haha). But somehow this book look attractive though.
Title: Tell Me Three Things
Author: Julie Buxbaum
Pages: 325
Publisher: Delacorte Press
Publication Date: April 2016
Synopsis:
This book is about Jessie Holmes's life approximately 2 years after the death of her mother. His father got married to a woman he met online, subsequently lead to Jessie's moving to a brand new life in Los Angeles. Jessie knew no one there except her father, new stepmother and stepmother's son.
Few earliest days there, Jessie got an email from anonymous, Somebody/Nobody (SN) who offer to navigate her around without meeting each other in real life. After Jessie slowly making friends there, she was still in contact with SN, while trying to find out who SN was (who seemed to be a guy).
There are about 3 guys in the novel, Ethan Marks - Jessie's partner in some literature project, Liam Sandler - son of a saleswoman who hired her to work in a bookstore, and Caleb - a guy she met in the wrong class, sharing about his summer vacation.
Who is SN? Why is he messaging her?
1. “Perfect days are for people with small, realizable dreams. Or maybe for all of us, they just happen in retrospect; they're only now perfect because they contain something irrevocably and irretrievably lost.”
Jessie lost her mother to cancer at the age of 14 (I guess), and that's approximately the age girls start to become teenagers and somehow mothers are to whom girls will turn, to get further life guidelines.
Through the novel, I can always feel that she missed her mother a lot. The way she counted the days her mother left her, it showed it was never easy for her to forget. And to be real, I believe it is really difficult to move on and live with the memories.
And I love the part where Rachel (Jessie's stepmom) bought flight tickets for her for a weekend trip to Chicago to meet her old friends and to enjoy her known, familiar neighborhood. Rachel is one of the stepmoms who are not... I mean, mean?
2.
I love this part too!
Deep inside, I really hope SN is a good person for Jessie. You know, sometimes I can't help to think that there is someone around Jessie (maybe) planning to trick her on thing like this. T_T
But, I am glad, SN IS A GOOD ONEEEE! :D
------------------------
Maybe enough with two. All in all, the story is cute and adorable, though I found it tiring to know the mysterious SN, which was finally exposed at the few final pages of the novel. T_T The three guys are interesting too, I mean, the author somehow managed to trick me into doubting myself to guess which one is SN.
I am a slow reader currently, reading takes a lot of time, making a review as well. Haha.
Till then.
p/s - I can't help to read SN as Staff Nurse -_-'
My rating: ★★★★☆

Review on Unifi Mobile™ Pek Jasa
March 26, 2020
After more than 10 years of being a loyal Celcom customer, I finally decided to turn my back to it. To be honest, I think Celcom is one of the strong telcos in Malaysia. I have never tried any other Telcos anyway.
 |
| Cute little simcard |
But after paying almost RM110 per month (actually RM98 + tax) for my First Gold Plus plan, I realised there are few other choices out there that offer almost similar plan with cheaper price T_T.
- 20GB free weekend Internet (5GB every Saturday & Sunday)
- 20GB weekday Internet
- 100GB free Super VideoWalla for 12months
- unlimited calls to all networks
- unlimited social apps
- ** unlimited Hotspot within those 40GBs
Sounds okay.
But look at this one!
UNIFI MOBILE™ PEK JASA - (RM 59/month)
- unlimited data
- unlimited calls to all networks
- unlimited SMS to all networks
- no contract
- 10GB Hotspot
I have surveyed for Maxis, Digi, U-Mobile too, but none of them are interesting as how I am attracted to Unifi -_-' Maybe due to the reason that lots of my colleagues in ED use Unifi, most of them have given generally nice feedback.
It was a hard decision to make and I hope I don't regret it.
So, good bye Celcom!
2007-2020
On 10th February 2020, I finally decided to proceed with the plan :) I went to the nearest TM point and inform the officer about what I want. Alhamdulillah the process was smooth, with the help of the officer. If you want to apply the same Pek Jasa as I am, don't forget to bring your working ID as well ya.
It is still early to give thorough feedback on this new data plan, but generally for the past 1 month:
- I have no problem assessing the Internet (on Unifi) as the data is unlimited. When I was using Celcom previously, it was really hard when the month approached the few last days. My job requires me to be on Mobile Data for 24/7, there are lots of PDFs to be downloaded, not to forget lots of movies/dramas to be watched on off days.
- Unifi coverage is not that broad compared to Celcom. There was one time I went to Sendayan for a Paediatric course and it was really hard to even get 1 bar! I don't know why but seems that friends using other Telcos have no problem with their coverage. Ehemm... but no problem so far in Manjung.
- I can feel the difference of paying the bill! RM59 vs RM 98.
 |
| I just knew that Unifi gives free LTE hotspot for 999GB till 1/4/2020. Alhamdulillah, I can use mobile hotspot to connect to my laptop :D |
 |
| The charges breakdown. |
I am currently on Day 2 of staying at home due to some reasons that (maybe) I will share later. Please pray for me and my ED team :)

The Rainbow Skywalk, Penang - Worth It!
March 9, 2020
This post was supposed to be published a week ago. But, I was quite lazy to open my laptop and I don't fancy writing over phone much. Hehe :)
This one is the Rainbow Skywalk (at level 68) of THE TOP, Penang. If you love heights or glass floors, this is one of the places to go :)
 |
| They offer official photos, but we have bought one from the observatory deck. We just asked the other tourists to snap photos of us :) |
 |
| The entrance to the Rainbow Skywalk. |
 |
| THE TOP will provide us with this reusable shoe covers, it is for free but you need to return to them later. The shoe covers are needed to walk over the glassy floor. |
 |
| The world's first tower curved skywalk. |
 |
| The view from the curved skywalk. |
 |
| One of the view up there. There is a restaurant if you want to try having lunch / dinner with 360 degree view :) |
 |
| It is said to be wishing pot, people (as expected) will throw some coins inside to wish for something. It is a common view at wishing fountains all over the world though. |
 |
| This is the restaurant I mentioned earlier - Coco Cabana Bar & Bistro. I had no idea about the menus, but I was more interested to play this one :D |
 |
| Tadaaa :D I used to play this one at home (when I was a child), you know the darts game we can buy from the night market. It was too expensive to buy toys at the mall at that time :D I guess, currently is is even more expensive hehe |
That's the end of my Penang trip. Let's look forward to more trips. :) Haziq and I just finished our 1640km road trip to the south of Malaysia, please pray that I will write about the trip faster hehe
