I've delayed long enough... Kelantan part 1

Background information:
After confounding myself and passing my semester 7 exams..
I duly proceeded to do my selectives which ran from the 5th of March to the end of March.. i think around 28th.. if im not mistaken.. couldn't be bothered to check the calendar

Members:
The people who were supposed to do electives in Kelantan were

1. Numero uno - me
2. Pakcik
3. Annas
4. Wis Pala
5. Pak Iwan
6. Maam

i was supposedly doing internal medicine with the rest of the guys apart from Pak Iwan and Maam who wanted to do O&G.. Maam pulled out di saat2 terakhir seeing as he had to do Gynae.. a subject which we haven't learned yet..
So only Irwan was the one who was doing a different posting.. the others were doing the same posting which was internal medicine..

Me and pakcik were the only ones who weren't from Kelantan.. i chose internal med because of the fact that i wanted to find some motivation to take up internal medicine for postgraduates seeing as i'm discouraged to do so by certain lecturers in Seremban.. and also due to the fact that it would be interesting and the majority of my group members were from kelantan.. my mother was guessing at the time that i had a "special friend" in kelantan.. haha

So i and pakcik left off from LCCT on the Sunday.. which was the 4th i think..
flight wasn't crowded.. it was pakcik's first flight.. after the flight.. he was hung over for about a few hours.. couldn't really acclimatise to the experience yet..

we were planning on staying in annas's house as he "generously"(strings attached) offered to take us in.. seeing that we were doing it in Hospital USM Kubang Kerian.. which was.. around 2-3 minutes drive from his house..

I initially planned to drive from KL to Kelantan .. but didn't really get the approval from FAMA in the cited reason was my back pains.. hmmmm... so basically.. my mother+my uncle and aunt would drive the car from KL to kelantan and they would come back by flight..
well.. it was a good excuse for my mother to go to Pangkalan Kubur.. shopping2 sakan.. they had to post some of the things home from Kelantan.. illustrates the amount of shopping they did..
well anyway , i wouldn't really want to pass off a free flight..

arrived there around lunch i think.. or around after zuhur.. i'm not sure..
but annas picked us up at the airport.. brought us home and here would be the first picture i took there



that day, we waited for my mother to arrive , they were going to stay in the hotel near Langgar.. forget the name.. hmm kat jalan sultan ismail petra tuh.. well this was to make it easy for my mother to go and ziarah kubur diraja langgar tuh.. my eldest brother , Kamarul Shahrin , who passed away due to jaundice when he was 6 months old was buried there.. both my parents would go for an annual visit there.. if he was still alive.. he would be 38 years old now..
Al-Fatihah

That sunday night.. me, annas and pakcik decided that we had to do some shopping beforehand, seeing as that we were not very well equipped for ward rounds.. being that i had not really a lot of stationery with me.. so we went to pustaka seri intan.. which is ubiquitous in Kelantan.. everywhere i go i see them.. aaaa tensen..
but returning to topic..
i was browsing through the notebooks and i found this..

i get it that some people are fans of an artist.. but i think u cross a line when u buy a notebook with the guy's face on it.. imagine u doing a case presentation with DK, and suddenly he notices u using the book.. think of the torture you'd get..

the next day , we went to HUSM for our first day of selectives.. we left at around 8.30a.m. , we took our time to take breakfast seeing that no one was really in the mood of doing anything academic at the time.. had trouble finding parking.. we finally managed to find parking quite far away in the student's hostel.. annas was driving that day..
had trouble locating the elective student's liaison office( forget the real name, so i'm renaming it elective student's liaison office)

we were given forms to fill up, application letters and everything..
we were quite shocked to find out that everyone of us was assigned to the different clinical specialists..
annas was assigned to a respiratory physician.. who i bet was from the northern regions
pakcik was assigned to a neurologist, he had to go straight into class after briefing.. a seminar i think
maam and pak iwan - i'm not sure to who.. maam changed later to internal med after that and got a registrar.. clinical specialist.. not sure in what..

wis pala- think it was a gastroenterologist.. the specialist just left him a list of things to do and wasn't really keen on meeting wispala anyway..
me- Dr Lee Yeong Yeh - gastroenterologist.. i was brought to the clinics to see the doctor.. who was a very very very nice person.. he was in charge of the intensive care unit and gave me the option of joining his ward.. but i wasn't really interested in that.. i wanted to do more of general internal medicine.. so he allowed me to join any ward i wanted.. i went to 7th floor, both Utara and Selatan as they are called there.. i joined the male ward more..


funky chair..
this is a picture of the chairs in USM's library..
think of the amount of lewd things rahman would do when he sees this chair.. i shudder to think of the possibilities..

so i stop here for now.. i'll carry on as soon as i remember what happened 5 months back.
