Week 5 (5/6/06 - 9/6/06)
This week is d most marvelous week so far since i started my practical trainiong. It all started with a suprise visit from our lecturer from UKM. Our unlucky lecture came way too early (b4 8am) and he have to wait 4 a while before d trainees n d lab staff report 4 work at 8.30am. N how do I reacted? Hehehe as d only ‘HUNK’ in d lab i hv 2 act COOL…. i mean act normal cause i think d purpose 4 his visit is 2 see how we hv been working as a trainee.
By 9am d lecture n our lab manager visited the Microbiology lab, where ive been working. Oh! 2 my disappointment it was not Prof Ismail but Dr Zamri (P Ismail is my microbiology lecturer n ive been seeing him after my accident 2 get his advice on my practical training). But nevermind, its good enough they hv sent someone 2 visit us. K ill continue my report, 1st Dr Zamri ask my supervisor on how we were doing (me n syu) n kak Y replied that we were doing quite well….. we obey her instruction, willing to learn n give our fullest cooperation n always on time 4 work. Then suddenlyour Lab manger told Dr Zamri about my ‘current’ condition. I can see that it was kind of a SHOCK 4 Dr Zamri (I guess P Ismail never told him about me d ’special’ practical trainee). Dr Zamri ask kak Y on how im coping with all d lab work. N what kak Y hv said really gave me d MORALE BOOST that i urgently needed. She said i hv a STRONG WILL cause when she look at me n my disabilities, its kind of sad. Yes since i started my training, I never complained n never asked my supervisor 2 give me ’special treatment’ cause im an O.K.U. What i REALLY wanted is 4 for them to treat me like a normal person cause im determent that my disablilities wont get in my way of achieving my goals. N I strongly hold 2 my principle of ‘ A twist of FATE is not a reason for me to feel sad for the rest of my life and it is definitely not a reason to give up my DREAMS’. After that Dr Zamri n our lab manager left d microbiolgy lab but he told us he will have a talk with two of us later after he take a look at d other trainee Wan Qing. When he finally call d 3 of us into d discussion room, I entered d room with a high self esteem. We talk on our experience n how d lab staff hv been treating us. 2 me 4 d past 4 weeks it was a wonderful learning experience n d lab staff hv been very supportive. After about half an hour its time 4 Dr Zamri to leave cause he hv other practical trainees 2 visit n he told us we were d 1st on his list.
N d joy continues on d second day of week 5. On that day kak Y gave us d 
practical trainee a big treat. Lunch at a a very, i mean VERY expensive restaurant. Actually she hv told us she want 2 treat us 4 a luch since last week, but i though it she will take us 2 a ‘gerai tepi jalan’ or just a mamak restaurant. I never expected she bring us 2 a 5 STAR restaurant. N whats more spectacular is they all ride in my new car (new 4 me lah). Now they can see with their on eyes how a 1 handed driver
drive. When we arrive they kak Y told us we can order what ever we want. But biasa la tak kan nk lawan tokey, so we let her choose d dishes. D dishes r : Steam Kerapu Fish Taiwan Style, Tom Yam, Fried Long Beans n when she ask if we want 2 add anything else….. hehe bukan selalu aku dpt makan kt tempat mcm ni so i ordered Sweat n 
Sour Chicken n Ice Kacang 4 my dessert. The other 2 trainees just kept quite (lantak korang la,sapo malu2 dia yg rugi kekeke). N after finish ate all d dishes i can say what an excellent choice kak y n i hv selected n surely good food come with a heavy price tag. Never mind cause i wont hv 2 fork out event a cent.
And how 2 end a fantastic week with people treating u for d rest of d week(except 4 Wednesday). Kekeke just my luck, my dicision 2 postpone my lunch break to 2pm on Thursday pay off when kak Oja pay 4 my meal when i hv lunch with her n kak Ani. It was also d same on Friday, kak oja gave all d lab staff n us d lab trainee nasi lemak each 4 a small majlis doa selamat held 4 her 2nd boyfriend (like me my 1st wife was a kancil n my 2nd wife is a kelisa, kak oja’s 1st boyfriend is a wira n her 2nd boyfriend is a brand new motorcycle)
Wahaha im totaly feel happy by d end of d week. Got d boost that will help me 2 finish d remaining practical training, kenyang orang belanja. Oh yeah i think i hv started 2 get along with most of d lab staff. I n Wan Qing regularly get teased by d other staff n they also can take a joke from us espcially me. So im ready 2 finish my practical training with wonderful memories. 3 weeks left n im hoping it turn out just like this week =)

Week 4 (29/5/06 - 3/6/06)
Sorry if i keep u all waiting…..im way behind schedule on my week 4 report. If i work 4 a newspaper or a magazine company my editor will surely SHOUT! at me….. arent in d mood 2 write (hehe writers also hv their ‘period’ time when ideas wont comes out) K enough of all this ‘merepek’.
After a joyous weekend at PD, now its time to go back 2 work. This week i decided to focus on 1 section of d microbiology lab which is d safety cabinet section. So 4 d whole week i will be doing all d bacteria identification n bact culture. I think its better this way. Instead of switching work everyday between d safety cabinet section n d testkit section like we used 2 before. Because i tend 2 forget d things my supervisor taugh me if we keep switching our work everyday. Say what does my partner say about d new REVOLUTION : ‘x pelah tannya kak Y, kite ikut je’ (in a very BORING n LIFELESS tone….. do this girl hv any kind of emotions or feelings i wondered) Day 1 (mond) was a smooth sail cause d one 2 supervise me is abg Lan (d layback n d one who always covering 4 my ass if i done any mistake). When i work with him usually all i hv 2 do is finish what he had started (d bact identification n i only hv 2 proceed with d bact culture or other test kit which is required). But at d end of that day my left hand was aching….actually my whole body was in pain. Mayb d TUG OF WAR (tarik tali) i joined in on Sunday hv taken its toll (but it was worth it cause i showed my friends that a ‘one hander’ like me can still participate in a physical activities, although my team lost but it was a lot of FUN)
Day 2 on that day kak Y will b watching behind my back. She let me do all d bact identification 1st n she will inpect me later. N on that day i learned that it is not easy 2 identify a bact base only on its colony morfology (shape colour n texture). U may hv d theory knowledge but in REAL LIFE you need more then that. U need 2 have SKILLS…… skills??? (ko ingat nk masuk my Team k nak kena ade skills, u asked?) Yesss, we do need skill 2 determine if d numbers of bact grow on d agar plate is significant 2 cause diseases or not. D skill to identify if this bact is Pathogenic or just a Normal Flora (normal bact on our body that usually wont do us any harm) n so many other skills. N we ALL d trainees r lacking of it…. cause u need 2 devoloped all this skills from experience. So i finally got d attention from kak Y that ive been craving 4 (NO! not that kind of attention…. its more of d intelectual type of attention. Aiyaa u all ni otak KUNING) how do i feel? A little stressed cause she can b pretty STRICT when traning an apprentice like me. But i prefer it 2 b that way cause im d hard headed type. If u dont push me i wont move n frankly, which type of teachers you still remembered untill this very day? D kind ones or d fierce n strict ones? (hehe im d later)
Day 3 On this particular day, several of d lab staff was on leave (i guess cause of d long school holiday break) So instead of abg Lan, kak Y will b supervising me cause abg Lan will lend his hands 2 help at d biochemistry section. U know d saying that Practice Make Perfect? Hehe that day ill be doing just that cause kak Y insist me 2 redo a bact gram stain (colouring bact like we used 2 doi it in kindergarden har har har) cause d 1st stain: ’stain tebal sgt’, 2nd stain: ’stain lame sgt’ n d 3rd stain: ‘CANTIKKK’…..hehe im always like that, if i failed doing something ill do it untill im statisfied. This day also i wont b having my lunch on d usual time (1-2pm) cause i insisted 2 finish my work b4 having my break. Day 4 After doing it for a straight 4 days i think i got d hang of it. My bact culture now wasnt so messy like b4 n my gram stain also hv improved. Day 5 I was starting 2 built up my confident when….. my bact sensivity culture i done d day b4 ends up 2 b a mix culture (Arghhhh! i myself should know better that a sensivity test should b from 1 type of bact only) I hv dissapointed my supervisers n more important i hv dissapointed myself….. so i hv 2 repeat d test n that mean d patient hv 2 wait longer b4 d doctor can prescribed his/her antibiotics. Also that day i mess up by dropping a glass tube n it broke into pieces…..thank god abg Lan was d only eyewitness n he doesnt say a lot just: clean up d mess. Actually its not d 1st time i messed up 4 this week. Earlier on monday i dropped a part of a plastic shelf n some part of it crack, i hv appologised 2 its owner but i still felt guilty….. n my mind keep thinking that will i b in this sitituation if d accident never hv happened? I guess i never will know d answer but i hv 2 keep reminding myself 2 stay positive. Day 6 Hey! isnt this my day off n its d Sultan birthday. Why d hell im working on that day? Good question. Still remember last weekend i hv a 2 days off, actually my lab manager only granted me 1 day off n d other one i hv 2 ‘ganti’ on another day n i hv chosen this day. Never mind cause d Sultan birthday falls on our day off, we will get a free 1 day off d next day so i can hv my day off on that particular day. Not many of d staff work on Saturday so i brought along my mini compo so i cant listen 2 my kind of music instead of d jb fm i hv been hearing everyday since i started my practical training. Can ill do whatever i like that day….. No, cause kak Y hv appointed abg Shizal 2 ‘take care’ of me. Not many sample arrive so after our luch break we ended up chating with each other.
Hmmm time fly so fast when ur busy with something, totaly d apposite feeling i hv a month ago (time felt like it crawling so slowly when u hv nothing 2 do at home) N now only 4 weeks of training left. Half part of my training now its over n how was my performance? I think 4 an O.K.U it was quite impressive but 4 a normal n healthy person : ‘biase je’. So imdeterment 2 improve myself cause i hv promised myself n who hv been reading my blog that i wont let my incapabilities 2 deter me from achieving my goal n that is beside d basic practical training i want 2 impress d people around me my family, lectures,supervisers, lab staffs, friends, d whole world n show 2 them that i can stand on my own 2 feet.
