Tender Loving Care

The sharing by Pastor Junn from Phillipines on Sunday in church is quite interesting. Hence, i would love to share one part of the sharing here. It's about the story of 4 Asians living in the state. There was a new barber shop which gave free haircut to their customers as their opening gifts. Then came these 4 Asians, Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese, and Phillipino. All of them had their haircut and were very happy and grateful for it. Hence, the next day, they planned to show their gratitude by bringing something for the barber. First, the Chinese brought dimsum, follwed by the Indonesian with sate ayam, and the Japanese, sushi. Later, the Phillipino came to the shop and he brought even more Philipino or friends! You can laugh all you want and say, "True, that's just how life is at times, share the gift!" wahahahaha! Now, come to the main point, and i quote: "Things that we received for free, had experienced, we want to share it with others." In fa...

3 months in my clinical rotation and I already felt and learned a lot of lessons from it. Frankly, the one thing I hate most about this life is gossip. I really hate it. Second thing that I can’t stand at all is the double faces of people I see and met every now and then. But please get it right, I’m talking about colleagues, spare the patients. These two things get me to evaluate myself in the very first place. Am I gossiping around? Am I the double faced person around others? I tried and am trying to further myself from all these. I’m trying to learn more from my patients and books. I’m trying to not be influenced by what others do and do what is best for me. Hmmph,  sounds selfish. Ok, maybe what I think and feel is best for all. I’m trying not to hurt people with my words. To help instead. To love despise the differences. Life is a lesson and I’m learning… =)

hmmph。。。深夜独自一人坐在宿舍的读书室，对着电脑和一本空白的笔记簿，突然觉得其实这感觉好奇妙。就在这时刻，我可以独自的想及做一些我想要做的东西。听歌、打字、发呆、在那空白的笔记簿上画画。 这感觉其实真的不错。=） 有时候真的感到非常的累。指的不只是 学业 工作的累，也指着人与人之间的互动。 无论如何，我会尽我的权力做到最好。 不惰、不愁、不烦、不怒、不赶，而是要去享受这一切一切。 ps：对不起，如果我错了，请原谅我吧！一起加油吧！

"Because of your love for each other you both took the vow on this day 26 years ago. Because of of your love you both take care and support each other in ways that only both of you could understand, through hardships and joyful moments.

Because of you both we are who we are today. Thank you so much for showing us what love is all about... Happy 26th Wedding Anniversary daddy Jeremiah Tan and mummy Tan Bee Luan...

When i was in the emergency department the other day, a child came in with ambulance having seizure. The nurse and doctor rushed over and gave the child i.v. diazepam and oxygen. The nurse was furious as the child had been seizing for more than 15 minutes without any intervention but only infusion from the primary healthcare. When the doctor asked the mom about the child age, education and medical history, i was saddened. He is almost 9 years old without any education yet (which mean he cant read or write), and according to the mom she is going to enroll him soon into SLB (sekolah luar biasa). The child had seizure since 5 months old and from then on, he was diagnosed with epilepsy. Having status epilepticus last evening wasn't good for him. Looking at him, i felt my heart ached. It almost bleeds. But this scenario is only a tip of an iceberg. The question i have for myself: what can i do to help them? and i'm not talking about medically only, but also socially. Comparing...

Now one month had passed, and i officially finish my very first department out of twelve departments -- Dermatovenereology! At first i was scared, worries, and wondered how things would end. Now that i had gone through the very first challenge, i'm glad and proud to say that i'm grateful for everything that happen. Eheemmm (just clearing my throat, hehe), i would love to thank my group mates for being there for me. Thanks to Ressy, our chief, who always help us and put up with all our questions and tantrums... lol... Thanks to Rama, who drove me to the hospitals out of Jogja for two weeks and being hyperactive, robbing my title... lol... Thanks to William who pick me up to campus all the time... Thanks to Wenmei who always pick me up as well... Thanks to Ratih for picking me up as well... (alright, that's because i don't have transport and my group mates are nice  great enough to offer me rides... and i'm really touched) Thanks to PeCe, PamPam, Silvi, Bayu...

Last Monday painted one great memory in my brain. It was the start of my third week of koas (clinical rotation) in DV department and also the first day in RSUD Wonosari. Upon arrival, i suddenly remembered my friend, Ella, text asking help to transfer the KOH and KOH parker they brought there last Saturday. Trying to be helpful, i asked Bu Siti about the ink and went to the sink in physiotherapy room to do so with Rama. The transfer of KOH went well. Then when we open the KOH Parker, the tip of the bottle looks like it was meant to be used as it is, not needing any transfer. But since the bottle is plastic, while the other bottle is brown glass bottle, we thought it might be better to tranfer then. At first the KOH parker ink was flowing out slowly, then stop. But with slight squeezing it was flowing bit by bit. Both of us was just standing by the sink, talking, while rama transfering and i was cleaning. The next second, it was a loud "puff"! The KOH parker kind of ...
