I kinda dislike that word... Yah.... I get the meaning.. but really... Porn and food? Try fuckin your pizza and tell me how disgusting that looks... Yeah... You cant unsee that now kan?
So speaking of food... About last month Malaysians here having buzzing about this place called Bangi Kopitiam. Biasalah..... Orang Malaysia dan makanan.... Eh... Tak tak tak.. Jgn marah...
Located at Jalan walikota mustajab this place is named after.... Well... Bangi??? Hahahah... Mana aku tau dah... Okke2...
The place is cozy... And whats important in this day and age is good and stable wifi... Hahaha... It has the works of the standard kopitiam eateries we can find in Malaysia.
Now when it comes to kopitiams i am a sucker for the brown toast... And the portugese Malacca brown toast they serve herebis a classic! Noodle freaks will enjoy the noodles here compared to the usual penang house that are scattered throughout the malls in Surabaya.
Oke.. With that said... If my fellow friends and family come here for the holidays.. Be sure to check this place out... Think of it as a welcome place before you adapt to the other local foods here... Love.
Via mobile???
Hello!!! *tiup habuk kat blog*
Oke then... Here we go... My magnificent mom gave me an android phone a few months back because I actually wanted a Kindle thingy cez I wanted to "read" and "study"... Seeing as I had a hard ass time finding that kindle thingy... I was blessed with this angry birds platform device.... Thingy... Erm.. Okke...
Then i remembered i had this blog and I wondered if there is an app for stuff like this because well lets face it... There is an app for everything now...
For those who think life is boring, think again... what would happen if your time in this world is timed....
So yeah... Now it seems I can blog while I drive....
Wait a minute....
Is that right????
Will get back to you on that....

ORAL SURGERY BEBEH!
Hello everyone!
I am about to share with you an experience that I gained
during my three month posting at Oral Surgery. What sounded like the most
"killer" of all labs turned out to be a journey of self-awareness and
a whole lotta knowledge
So far during my clinical years, it was an integrated system
where we decide to do what we want with our working hours and patient
availability. It’s a whole different system here whereby we are focused on one
scope that is surgery. In this lab, we diagnose surgical cases such as
abscesses, cysts, and the usual tooth extraction.
in this lab its more than just come to work and get
requirements done. they have a whole hierarchy. In short, you begin at the
bottom of the food chain from a yellow badge, to a green badge to well… give it
a few years (if you wish to continue)… a surgical resident followed by a
lecturer. That being said… lets begin!
YELLOW = YOU NOOB = YOU SLAVE!!!!
hahaha… okkey, that may sound over dramatic. But underneath
it all that is what the yellows are like being at the bottom of the food chain.
We handle control cases of operations done by the residents on the previous
day. This means the initial searching the entire lab for the previous case file
from that operation, among all the green badges request of their own case
files. This means we must understand by heart the mechanism of healing.... what
conditions are considered normal in wound healing, antibiotic effectiveness,
medication allergy responses and what to do next (planning). We get to
experience what it was like to removes sutures. oh this might sound crappy but
trust me if this is your first time holding a pair of scissors to a patients
mouth your hands are gonna tremble. unless you have the hands for it, in which
case I don’t… hehehe
we also get to start diagnosing easy and difficult cases,
and this means a sound knowledge of each case itself.. and yeas, Dr. Roberto
was right, “there are never 2 identical cases”. This is a golden moment to
sharpen our knowledge as we can discuss each case personally with the chosen
lecturer. in short, YOU NO STUDY, YOU GET ASSIGNMENT, YOU NO GET MARKS!
Weeks into the lab, we are slowly introduced to assisting of
residents operations… and yeas, we start at the bottom, being the “runner” so
to speak, the usual duties are to assist holding the dental unit lights to make
sure the resident gets a fully lit operating field. we be slaves remember?
hahahaha
GREEN = YOU RULE = LIKE A BOSS
in the sixth week, we are upgraded to a green badge… this is
where the fun happens… because you get to do extractions and shyte… hahaha… We
get more complex cases like handling fractures and the epic case of third molar
extractions!!!! lemme see, in Malay its
called the gigi geraham paling belakang kan?
by this time, a new group of yellows have entered an took
our previous place and we get to noob them around. At the same time we carry
the responsibility of molding them to be the next green… in short, if we suck
at teaching, IT WILL GODDAMN SHOW…. hahaha…
So yeah… 18 extractions to be completed. GO!
NOW THE EPIC PART
the normal amount of people for a specific badge is 20… but
since my group was the last group of my batch, we only had 9 people! So when
time came for the switching of badges, we had to wait for the juniors to enter…
so there was this one epic week where we were both YELLOWS AND GREENS! the lab
was under our management… and what’s even more epic is that we handled the
whole department pretty well…. eat that bitches who think we couldn’t do it!
hahaha
so yeah… oral surgery was fun… it was hell I know… but it
was fun… the lecturers reminded us endlessly about our responsibilities as a
dentist, as a human and to our God. I am thankful for each and every moment
that made me someone even better than the previous three months…
 |
| WITH THE KILLER LECTURER Drg. ENDRAJANA. LIKE A BOSS!!! |
FYI: all my requirements were fulfilled in the nick of time.
Alhamdulillah.

Hmm... these days I dunno what to blog about, the clinical life proves that work and the clinic is the number one priority when I am in Surabaya... Currently in Oral Surgery... the "killer department" they say... I got my first hand experience in tooth extractions... this department really teaches you everything about being a good dentist... I am constantly on the move and constantly learning new things... good ryte?
at some point along the way it came to my knowledge that I got a nephew by the name of Yusuf... met the lil fellow in person a few weeks back.... A 3.6kg bundle of joy... May he bring all the happiness and joy to the family in his coming years...
Family... being this far from my family makes me miss them... I thank Allah each day that miles away, they can still afford to care for me, making sure I get enough to eat, money in my pocket and just enough to enjoy certain luxuries... That's the power of good parents...
I tell myself everyday that what I do, I do it for them... because in my years of living, they are the ones that catered to what I need, and seldom to what I want. bukannya susah nak dengar cakap mak ayah, they lived life longer....

KAWAN KE?
What the hell is wrong with me?
Its been three months into this clinical thingy... I thought I might enjoy this... but I find myself not as hyped as the first day it started...
"find help from your friends" they say....hmm.... this is kinda hard... I guess here its proving to become a task... its different from my earlier days... I had friends I can work with.. ones that got my back when I have theirs...

"c'mon Farid, you need to finish this... Lemme help you"
"I have a problem, help me out please, what you dont understand I will teach later"
"stop messing around, this is serious. remember your targets"
"help me out here, I need patients, perhaps you can find some for yourself as well"
those constant reminders from day to day is a bit tad annoying yeas but I guess that is what I need... These small drives are what gets me working day to day during my years. I fail to see that nowadays. Its a matter of first come first serve.
I guess daddy taught me to be a give and take sort of person but here I am stuck in a "take all" environment....
dear Allah... help me... Aamin...

LIFE
LIFE is like a music video at times... I think... When a new music video comes out, you get all excited... wanting to see over and over again. but as time flies and you see the same thing over and over again, you start to get bored... you then sometimes forget that first feeling you had watching it for the first time. Then all it needs sometime in the future is a remake, a revamp... And then you are reminded again...
my life is kind of that music video on repeat... each monday having to wake up and work... going home in the evenings, sleep, night time falls and in the morning it repeats itself again. Am I complaining? probably. but then again I just feel like I need a remix... A revamp you may call it... but hey... life goes on... I am thankful I get to breath and live another day...
on the other hand a dear friend of mine got his revamp.... its not on the good side I must say... but Allah has a plan for everybody I guess...
He was diagnosed with cancer not a while back... It was a wake up call for me... Cancer knows no age limit... He is a medical student and is expected to graduate shortly but due to chemo, he has to return home... imagine that... you grow up feeling fine than one day, planning for your future to become an excellent doctor and then....
He is currently on chemo back in Malaysia... everytime I think of him I pray Allah will lift his cancer away.. Insya-Allah.. I must make an effort to see him... because he taught me all kinds of things during our time together at KTT.
For those who think life is boring, think again... what would happen if your time in this world is timed....
Fauzi, may Allah cure your sickness.. Insya-Allah. Aamin ya rabbalalamin...

KELIIINIK!
Alright then, its been ages since I wrote anything here.. Quite sometime after Hari Raya Aidil Fitri I started my clinical years.
YEAS PEOPLE!!!! I MADE IT INTO THE CLINICAL YEARS!!
its tiring i guess... well... I guess...
So before I rant on I should really explain to you what clinicals are all about... we are the pioneer batch for what the Faculty calls it "inter-grated clinic"... the whole floor of the clinic is opened up and we are free to use the clinic as our own practice with supervision from the doctors and during this period of time we are to fulfill all our requirements... so in short if i have a single patient with multiple requirements, I can handle the patient from start to finish independently. this clinic excludes Oral Surgery, Radiology, pediatric dentistry, and Public Dental Health education.
so now that you are up to speed.. it looks all shimmy and cool huh? you get to play dentist!
but then again... the troubles the faculty fail to see are oh so many...
1. LACK OF CUBICLES
the faculty takes a total of more less 160 students per intake and about 130 manage to get into this inter-grated clinic as scheduled. the thing is... the work space (read: cubicles) provided do not add up to even a mere 80. and we have to technically fight for a cubicle every morning... please take note that not every cubicle is in good working condition... almost every unit is faulty...
2. DOCTORS ARE SUPPOSED TO TEACH THE STUDENTS RIGHT?
so it goes that when we enter the clinical phase that we are given all the knowledge beforehand and we just practice the theory we learned. but take not, we still need to be guided non-the-less... this is not what happens... instead, when the we fail to answer a theoretical question, they send us off and tell us to look for the answer.. now I do not mind if this is a method of teaching but this is done AS THE PATIENT IS WAITING TO BE TREATED. we are supposed to get approval from the doctors before we work. having to find the answer we let the patient wait... where are the ethics? it would be so much better if we are called after the patient is treated and discuss the theory...
3. ITS ALL ABOUT REQUIREMENTS
in the heat of things, we are so caught up in getting the signatures for the requirements that in the end its all about racing to get things done... we read the manual given, finish the job and thats it. its not about the passion to do it properly anymore. we dont learn as much to become a dentist.. its all about finishing on time... thats not learning... thats just labor...
4. NO PATIENTS, NO WORK.
thats the whole deal. some of us pack up and go home... cool eh?
well thats it for now... I guess some good will come out of this... this university is said to be world class... so they must know what they are doing ryte? am i ryte?

ATOK SAYA
Lately duduk surabaya ni banyak dapat call dari bonda saya cakap slalu balik kampung... bila cite sal balik kampung ni... jadi rindu kat Atok... okke... emosi kejap...
tp time2 emosi ni slalu ingat masa skola rendah dulu... bila dah ingat time skolah, ingat jugak time atok time maghrib... sebab cucu-cucu mesti kumpulkan budak2 kat umah lepas smayang berjemaah ngan dia, dia SURUH MENGAJI!!!
KALAU SALAH LEBIH DARI TIGA KALI, TAK BOLEH BERALIH!! (masuk surah baru)
kumat-kamit nak baca supaya tak salah... amek ko... frust menonggeng baca penat2 pastu tak dapat beralih.... salah sapa? salah saya jugak tak practice...
tak salah, dulu tensen sbb tak dapat tgk Power Rangers sbb kene mengaji...
now dah besar panjang and dah khatam (ada lagi ke cucu-cucu atok yang blom khatam?)... atok pon dah jarang ajar mengaji... sedar atau tak masa zaman2 atok ajar mengaji ni, life flows exactly the way we want it to... I guess itu la sebabnya Quran ni kene baca tiap2 hari... dan bila atok ajar mengaji tiap2 maghrib kita secara tak sengaja ataupun ye dah baca Quran everyday...
Mama saya kalau call from Malaysia slalu ingatkan. "Baca Quran ke tak?"... sungguhpun mama saya digelar ustazah wannabe (haha.. sorry maaa) saya sedar kenapa dia slalu tanya camtu.... sbb atok dari dulu dah ajar kita untuk baca Quran tiap2 hari....
dan selalu yang saya ingat... kata2 atok setiap kali dia call... ayat dia lebih kurang lah...
"atok doakan sume ketigabelas cucu-cucu atok berjaya dengan cemerlang dalam bidang masing2"
knapa saya tetiba baik semacam ni? nak exam kot... ntah la... wsalam.... (:

ARE YOU READY?
The clock is ticking yeas... still... after countless pondering, the fact remains, I am set to become a dentist in the near future... So if everything flows well, I will get that degree I've been fighting for since 2007.... next semester, Insya-Allah, i will enter clinicals....
FUCK... AM I READY?
This is no mere task of failing or passing... this is about handling PEOPLE!!! and in the world of dentistry, your reputation depends on your work....
Most people complain of how tiring the job will be, but at the back of my mind, if I screw up, not only am I SOLELY held responsible, but at that instant I will be judge from every aspect of my education... is this right? Am I all set?

I BE TRIPPIN! part 3 (man... this trip is long eh?)
yeas... part three... so some of you wanted to know bout them monkeys eh??? I am getting there...
after chilling a moment by the beach and having sum fresh coconut, we bid farewell to Nusa Dua and headed out to the other side of the island... The locals in Bali suggested this place called Uluwatu... a monkey temple! This place is known for its naughty monkeys and the view... what view u ask??? THIS VIEW!!!!
This view can only be seen in ULUWATU my friends!!! it was stunning!! you know those travel commercials you see on teevee? this is the place to come and see it!!! After avoiding numerous monkeys that were trying to steal my s
tuff and hold them ransom for any food they can get, I w ent to the cliff sides and this greeted me!!!! Adnin and myself sat in silence.... Allah is Almighty... and ehem... it was a really really hot day in Bali so I took the chance to snap a
s much as I could from this magnificent scenery.. Atop the hills we met a couple that needed our help in snapping a photo... we chatted awhile and thank God they appreciated the fact that we were not locals... hahah... lovely Aussies.. sounding like a customs officer I asked their purpose of visit.. tur
ns out they were actually working here... 6 months alreddy.. Damn... they are in Bali for a living!!! some people have all the fun!
So I tuck away the camera... thinking to myself, "if a monkey had an SLR for ransom no amount of bananas can cover the amount". On my way up the stairs to the temple, th
ere was a pool for the monkeys to have fun... yeah... the monkeys have all the fun... damn... And what I feared most almost came true... A baby monkey went for the SLR... Snotty little brat! ur mama Spoiled you with material things... but since the brat acted all cute we deci
ded to take a photo with it anyways... because my mama detaught me to be kind to AMINALS!!! hahaha...
we didnt go swimming cez well.. its a surfers beach and sure as hell I didnt know how to surf... so i sat there looking from far as the surfers surfed, fell and got back up again to ride the waves... I see a moral behind all this that I we all can apply in our lives but am not gonna go into that... I am on holiday... hahaha

made that choice... because it was fantastic! U gotta be askin, werent there babes in bikinis or lack there of??? well.. there were but i wont show you any photos of that since this is a family rated blog... upon reaching the beach, we had to go down thru a complex set of stairs.. and the spectacular beach lay in front of 
us...

I BE TRIPPIN! part 2 bebeh...
So lets move on eh?
our visit to Tanah Lot was entertaining... A couple went up t
o us and asked "permisi pak, mw ambil foto di sini bisa?" (excuse me, can we take a picture here). After shifting aside we heard them say to each other....
haaa... abang! abang! tolong la amekkan gamba saya (or sumtin like that)
hoh
... Malaysian rupenya, I guess I've been here to long and they can't tell where I came from... sedih... so after the sun set, adnin (yeas, thats his name. the boy u who u thought was better looking than me, yeah.. admit it you were thinking it) and myself headed back... Dinner was a pain to find...
as a Muslim we need halal food and in Bali, they say even the pork is halal (my ass....)
we journeyed back to Kuta and yet again got LOST within Kuta itself... hahaha... history wasnt much of a thing for us so we just stopped by the bombing site and took a photo... errm... thats was that I guess.. haha
we circled around and passed by Bali's Hard Rock Cafe... being hati kering and low on budget we decided not to go inside cez who knows we might need whatever cash left in our wallets... so... all we did was (you guessed it) snap a couple more photos!
alrite... am just gonna skip to the next day aite? Waking up the next morning we felt much more like we owned Bali cez we we re as hell sure where we wanted to head off to... "NUSA DUA" we sed... then off on our bikes we went... and as usual, "WHERE THE HELL ARE WE"..... the sun in Bali was no joke my friends, it was BLAZING hot.... so spending a suffiecient amount on a bike was enuf to burn you...
Nusa dua greeted us with a monument... statue... or whatever it was... it was
amazing! the sun gave us enough lighting for good photography (which was the real reason i went on this trip). the view at the beach was also marvelous! we didnt bring any spare clothes so well, swimming was not an option... besides, with Naddy's SLR in my hands ( I seriously need to think about buying one of these babies) I needed to be extra cautious.... so all the "beach-related" poses u can think of, well. .. we did it.. the jumping, the staring into the air, the depressed look, the thinking bout our future pose... consider it done!
hahaha.... will continue later... next is the story of us monkeying around at a monkey temple!

I BE TRIPPIN!
It was somewhere in January that my friend had the urge to travel... "jom la pegi Bali" he said... then he went on explaining why he had the urge and so on.... and u know what, I AGREED!
the plan took a few month to come together but by the end of April all was set... a three day two nights stay in Bali it was...
so on thursday night we got on one of those shuttles that provided transportation to Bali for cheap... Rp160k per person.... BUT... the ride lasted 12 loooooonggg hours.... and being HATI KERING we endured the journey... it was insanely fast and furious... there were times when we actually prayed for our lives... we stopped for a rest at Pasir Putih and the journey continued till we reached the port at Banyuwangi...
the ride on the ferry was a short one, since I had prior experience on this I didnt spend much time wandering about...
It was 8am when the shuttle dropped us at the Bali bombing site (more on that later). and there we were thinking "okeey... what now"
you see, we planned on how to get to Bali, but we didnt plan what to do once we got there.... lucky we met a helping Balinese who hooked us up with a mode of transportation and a place to stay... the hotel was shabby as hell but since it priced at Rp100k per night, we just sed yes!
it was the best choice we made thus because the traffic in Bali was insane...
being HATI KERING we stopped and asked when we felt we were heading the wrong way, till we finally reached Tanah Lot... the timing was perfect since it was only an hour before sunset... so long story short here are some pics to share...
the adventure continues...

we circled KUTA beach for awhile and then we made a decision to head to TANAH LOT... now what happened next was mad because neither of us knew the way.. hahahah
being HATI KERING we stopped and asked when we felt we were heading the wrong way, till we finally reached Tanah Lot... the timing was perfect since it was only an hour before sunset... so long story short here are some pics to share...
the adventure continues...
