Computer breakdown

Bloggin from my surgery.

My computer breakdown from trojan & stupid malwares. Had to call an IT guy to look into it,wiped out what he could, but still couldn't find where the hell the spyware is hiding.Everytime we reboot it still there, crap. So kena tunggu this IT guy, who luckily live in our building, to return back nxt week to try again.

Anyway, enuff crap.

MTAS

MTAS is a doctor recruitment in the UK.

And we all think MTAS review by Dept. of Health will make things better.HAHAHAHAHA. It is incredibly sucks. The only fair way to go forward is scrap the whole MTAS thing & everyone to re-submit their application, plus please add the posts. There will still be a huuuuuuge number of doctor unemployed. Like thousands of them.

The stress of this whole MTAS, urghhh. From filling in the form - it took me one whole week to construct my answers,showed them to my references, altered them, correct them grammatically, to preparing your portfolios.

Lets all go and train in another country.

Malaysia

Me and my husband start to have homesicks now. The other day, I wake up in the morning, teringin nak makan kuih tepung pelita. When we were back home, we eats nasi lemak every single day (this is unhealthy and carries health warning of heart disease, diabetes and hypertension).

We watch all the malay movies we bought. We drink AliCafe Tongkat ALi Instant teh tarik and coffee. We bought ikan keli to eat with air assam.

Now I teringin nak makan nasi lemak dgn sambal sotong.

Update

It's been awhile - one of the reason is this stupid blog requires me to create new account, when i clicked on the link, it hangs..stupid. So, where has I been?

GP

Am finishing in the next 1 1/2 week.yeppiee!!altho' am not looking forward to A+E. its getting worse, the workforce has been reduce from 15 to only 9 sho's. more weekends & nights.damn.its not like they increase our pay tho'.

some patients were upset i am leaving.thank you for missing me.i really appreciate it; told them i am going to hand over to other good GP here.i hope my leaving is not going to affect their recovery & i hope they are not going to chase me at A+E.hehe.

Malaysia

just come back from Malaysia last week. the longer you are away from your own country, the more you missed and appreciated it. Missed the food, the family, our own old kelisa, KL, the house (which does swallow a good chunk of our salary).

What I don't missed is driving in KL.My God, the Mat Rempit.wish they could create a separate road just for the bloody motorcycles.People don't signal as often in motorway/carriageway and don't wear seatbelt. I am anal about seatbelt. So difficult when it comes to your parents.

I also noticed the emergency roadside at motorway kat Malaysia is really narrow. If kereta rosak, camner nak park on the side??so dangerous.patutla orang boleh accident langgar vehicle at park at emergency roadside.

On the funny side,I was asked by a Malay custom lady kat imigresen if I am a Chinese Mualaf. My response was like, WHAT?? I am Melayu, Jawa Tanjung Karang lagi tau.

Interview

Thank God the ST interview over. I get so worked up about all these MTAS application, HSMP application (alhamdulillah approved)for the last 2 months. The adrenaline continuously pumping. I started having insomnia, keep waking up & my sleeping time reduces!

Had 3 stations during the interview - Portfolios (how come temporary pacing is included in the marking scheme? We are only FY2 for heavensake),presentation & clinical scenarios. I feel confident in clinical scenario, well at least it is not something that is out of my depth. I did enjoy the presentation on doctor working time directives (with only 20 minutes notice) but I certainly did not enjoy my Portfolios station. Its either me or the consultant has become sceptic with all these FY2 portfolios.Feel so embarrassed (plus some tinge of humiliation) when I realised I put sengtaken instead of seldinger on my chest drain DOPS.

Now, the anxious wait for the interview result.
