Salty story of the day...

'A McDonald's employee spent a night in jail and is facing criminal charges because a police officer's burger was too salty - so salty, he says, that it made him sick. Kendra Bull was arrested on Friday, charged with misdemeanor reckless conduct and freed on $1 000 bail. Bull, 20, said she accidentally spilled salt on hamburger meat and told her supervisor and a co-worker, who "tried to thump the salt off"...City public information officer George Louth said Bull was charged because she served the burger "without regards to the well-being of anyone who might consume it" - Associated Press.

apparently the employee.. tried a burger made from the same salty burger meat during break and it didn't make her sick.. she also raised up a very good point..
if at the first bite , the cop felt it was a bit too salty.. why did he even finish the burger..

imagine..

Cop taking the first bite of the burger..
thinks to himself..
hmm a bit too salty...
maybe another bite.. who cares about my hypertension...
hmm still a bit too salty.. maybe it's just this side of the burger..
let me try the other side..
hmmm still salty..
heck.. my vision is a bit blur now..
maybe the other parts would be a bit less salty..
another bite wouldn't hurt..
eh.. i've finished the burger?
God.. i feel sick now..
i'm just too lazy to get up and change the burgers..
let me just make a report and put the mcdonald's girl in prison..

apparently the cop took 8 bites of the burger..

p/s: i don't think eating this burger really promotes health of any kind..

El Stupido of the Day..

the 'cleverness' of our friends from the other side of the globe.. does not cease to suprise and shock us...

a GOP presidential candidate Tom Tancredo created a lot of buzz in 2005 for saying that the United States should consider bombing Muslim holy sites if the US was attacked with nuclear weapons:

“Well, what if you said something like - if this happens in the United States, and we determine that it is the result of extremist, fundamentalist Muslims, you know, you could take out their holy sites,” Tancredo answered.

When the media brought the issue up again a few days ago, Tancredo went even further:

“If it is up to me, we are going to explain that an attack on this homeland of that nature would be followed by an attack on the holy sites in Mecca and Medina,” the GOP presidential candidate said. “That is the only thing I can think of that might deter somebody from doing what they would otherwise do. If I am wrong fine, tell me, and I would be happy to do something else. But you had better find a deterrent or you will find an attack. There is no other way around it. There have to be negative consequences for the actions they take. That’s the most negative I can think of.”

Problem: Mecca and Medina are holy sites not only for Muslim extremists, but for all Muslims. The worldwide Muslim population is approximately 1.61 billion. Does Tancredo really feel like creating one billion more US enemies with one click of the button?

Tom Casey, a deputy spokesman for the State Department, told CNN’s Elise Labott that the congressman’s comments were “reprehensible” and “absolutely crazy.”

But his subordinates had this to say..

“This shows that we mean business,” said Bay Buchanan, a senior Tancredo adviser. “There’s no more effective deterrent than that. But he is open-minded and willing to embrace other options. This is just a means to deter them from attacking us.”

and these are the people who claim to be the proponent of free speech , freedom , justice and democracy...
what a load of garbage..

D'oh

if u swallowed that amount of batteries.. i would bet that something in your brain would have been damaged before

err.. nervous?

got this from www.engrish.com

those were the days...

on the 14 th of February, the wednesday after osce exams, me ,hanisyam , pakcik , huda and faya went back to mrsm jasin.. biasa le.. anak2 didik mrsm jasin.. i was the one driving then, it was a long time since i last went to jasin.. can't even recall the last visit.. maybe when i was in bukit jalil.. that was with zaizul and pakcik gak kot...

i recall the old road that we usually used to reach jasin.. we would go out at ayer keroh, pass by seri negeri, and just follow the sign board to jasin.. apparently they've built any exit which comes out directly to jasin.. but wasn't really sure about that.. just found out that it exited near simpang kerayong.. which was from the tangkak side of mrsm jasin.. just foound out recently..

well, the first stop as usual would be the teacher's office.. the first one i met was Cikgu Rae and Cikgu Noreen.. my Biology and Chemistry teacher last time around.. then seperti biasa wajib mencari Puan Maimunah.. she being my homeroom teacher last time around in jasin..
Met Cikgu Amin my BM teacher.. didn't manage to find my BI teacher tough..
i was also dragged into the Head of Department for social science as she wanted to inquire about medical courses for her children who was interested in doing medicine.. i was stuck there for quite a while , and at the same time both Puan Anizah ( Mat Tam teacher) and Cikgu Rae was calling nak belanja lunch.. huhu. selepas habis borak2.. was on the way to the canteen.. met again Cikgu Amin yg nak belanja makan.. in short semua org dok nak borak le.. should have came earlier.. we reached there around lunch time and there wasn't really enough time to see all the teachers..
well here are some pictures..

pictures in front of D. Burn(aptly named as the infamous batch of '92 tried to set it on fire.. u could see some burn marks on the ceiling during my time.. not sure about now..)
we managed to get a student to take the picture for us.. he was loitering about there.. and funnily enough he didn't notice that he had a hole in his pants the size of singapore.. maybe seremban..

the teacher's block

this is where i set a thunder bomb(mercun) last time after spm.. it was me and zaizul.. haha bagus le.. sorng Ketua Biro Rondaan dan Kawalan and lagi sorg EXCO Badar dok main mercun..
after setting it off.. we were moving away from the crime scene.. went some staff saw us and gave chase.. i dun't think we've ever ran so hard..

that night we also set off another one on the basketball field after getting chased around by Abg Rohaizat( who is in MARA headquarters now)
he was making his rounds in the Form 5 academic blocks and did chase some of us with his motorbike. hampeh tul..
we decided to go deeper to the field to escape him.. and thinking that he gave up.. we set off another mercun at the field.. suddenly after lighting one up in a plastic bottle.. about 20metres from us there was a flickering of a torchlight..
we ran for it.. there was me,zakuan(EXCO rondaan Badar),baras(pres LDP), zaizul, ameer, mawardi and bal saidi... i think me and zakuan made a run for the field and jumped from the basketball field down into the rugby field.. into overgrown lalang.. aa tajam tul..everyone went separate ways and went in pairs.. wasn't advisable to go it alone near the field..
we've encountered a lot of strange things before.. i remember hearing footsteps near the academic blocks when doing my rounds with pok nik.. we chase after the footsteps then suddenly the footsteps were behind us.. made a run for it again.. haha

also remember hearing furniture moving a lot at 2am at the form 4 block.. itu tanda2 utk pegi balik and jangan ngada2 nak ronda..


the same night yg kitaorang main mercun tuh.. ustaz rasdi did a roll call..
semua org dah gelabah dah and everyone was adamant if he asked we would just all confess as i think my group made the most amount of noise that night..
but he just said..

Ustaz Rasdi : "Saya tahu le Yang Dipertuan Agong baru mangkat, tapi kamu takyahlah susah2 nak ambik alih tugas penembak meriam.. kalu nak main pun jauh2 la.. anak saya nak tidur.."
that more or less amounted to a green light.. spent the rest of the night doing a barbecue kat ATM Giro..
a group of 20 form 5's that night kantoi fly when the walked in the front gate.. not knowing that Ustaz Rasdi and Ustaz Akmal @Cikun was joining our BBQ in front of the Bank Giro.. sia2 je ada yg kena push up.. haha

we also went and saw Puan Mahibbah, my old club advisor masa 2001, Kelab Hidroponik.. haha she was asking whether we would be interested to give talks to form 5's who were interested in doing medicine.. felt old suddenly..

after leaving mrsm jasin.. went to bukit katil to see Cik Hajah Zaherah, my old Cikgu Pakar Sejarah who recently retired. she was home alone and just sustained a colle's fracture of the left hand.. we spent quite a while there as she went through quite a lot of gossip about mrsm jasin..

those were the days...


that's it for now.. later. insya-Allah..

Umrah - just a teaser...

anything interesting on the board?

masjid nabawi in madinah

u should know this.. masjidil haram in Makkah

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.

Exam week for sem 7 and 9

i've taken quite a while to update the blog..
these days.. i'm not really getting enough motivation to write..
haha maybe in a few weeks.. more than enough ideas.. they keep drifting in and out..
anyway i'll be finishing sem 8 in 2 weeks and there's a one week holiday(i think)
so basically i'll use that up to blog.. (possibly)

anyway.. i've changed the songs for the blog.. a bit annoying to hear the same songs and seeing as it is exams week.. putting some motivational songs(in my opinion) to replace the old ones for now..

and also to say congratulations to those who passed their professional exams last week..
congrats to k.dijadellfatah...
belanja bile dah dapat gaji 3 bulan.. muahahaha

to those having exams this week
