Busy Doing Nothing...

"BUSY DOING NOTHING"...It is just what I expected early this morning.. I thought I'm free today but another things occured.. I'm quite busy today...!!! The pixs above was taken before I went to clinic.. It is my office, a lil messy right.. huhu.. Dunno what to do, then after saw my camera in my desk, took some pixs lor..

Today is a quite busy day for me.. The Diabetic Screening was held in front of my clinic and I'm the one who have to give a Dietary Intervention for those with positive screening... Duhhh.. It was a free screening and again I have a chance to check mine.. Mine was negative, huhuhu.. As expected la kan..

Now is 12.30 pm.. I'd planned things to do after lunch:

2.00 pm: Waiting referrals from ward. If nothing, thanks God.. (ketara pemalas betul ooo)

3.00 pm: Settle up all the unfinished work. Since now is the end of month, a lotta report has to be sent to Quality Department as well as Hospital Queen Elizabeth.

5.00pm: Go back home, wash car coz I'm gonna leaving home and my car for 5 days..

6.00pm: Have to pack all my stuff.. Tawau is waiting for me..huhu..

9.00pm: It is a bed time...ZZZZzzzzzz.. But before sleep wanna watch Smallville and Supernatural.. New season maa, downloaded by my bro's collegue.

Wish me luck for my Volleyball Competition kkk.. We represent ZON PEDALAMAN..:p

The Harsh Time..

I feel so stressed up today..Dunno when it is started..Woke up this morning I'm still okay.. However, after thinking of routine in my workplace, all of sudden I felt pressure on my brain.. But thanks God I'm a bit free today; no appointment, no outpatient referral. BUT, got meeting at 2pm, and 2 inpatient referral today..Arggghh..

Whatever it is, I'm going to Tawau this coming wednesday. I have a volleyball competition for KKM (Ministry Of Health) Sabah.. Wanna get rid from a boring working environment.. I'm away Keningau from 28th Nov - 2nd Dec..Huhuu.. Meaning that I miss the aramai tii on 1st of Dec.. A lot of 'serangan moginum' that day.. My neighbour 'Family Day' - besar-besaran lagi tu.. Tu kem suda pasang, tinggal mau buat pentas and potong sapi lagi, ada band lagi tu.. The 'kem' is right in front of my house, sure a lotta sumandaks coming that day..At the same day is 100 days of the late Enggoh Ungkiu, my gradma's brother.. Sorry, I cannot attend.. And from what I heard, a lot of wedding ceremony will be held on that day (Bunsit ada, Bingkor pun ada)..

Now, I wanna back home for lunch.. Hopefully my cousin already cook for me.. Really wanna unwind my tension... Got to back here on 2pm.. Got meeting to attend.

I'd checked my Lipid Profile.. How's yours?

Type of high cholesterol foods..

Last few weeks, I and my staff went to Patology Department of Hospital Keningau to run some blood test.. I just requested for Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG), Total Cholesterol (TC) and TG (Triglycerides).. All of those test will indicate weather our health condition is good or not.

FBG: Usually if the FBG is abnormal (not in a normal range) those people will be diagnosed of having Diabetes Mellitus a.k.a kencing manis.

TC: If our TC is high, it is due to high consumption of high cholesterol foods such as kepala ikan (apa-apa jenis kepala la including seafoods), eggs, offal (organ dalaman mcm hati dan pedal) and of course high saturated fat foods such as fried and fatty foods.

Artherosclerosis.. The process in which the fat cholesterol particle in our blood is deposited to our blood vessel's wall. This may leads to cardiovascular disease, stroke and even sudden death.

TG: When TG is high than what is recommended, it indicates that he or she has a high consumption of sugary foods and drinks. Other than that, it occured might due to excess intake of fruits. In addition of that, high alcohol intake may also rises the TG level. Kalau di Keningau ni x payah tanya minum tapai ka tidak, usually I just check the TG level. If high than normal, sure 'logop' tu. Huhuhu..

I got my result the same day of the specimen taken. Yeah, I'm happy to know that all the test result was in a normal range huhuhu.. Here was the results:

PATIENT NAME : FRIEDRICH J
AGE : 23Y 2M 7D
PATIENT ID : 001/20
LOCATION : HOSPITAL KENINGAU
DOCTOR : DUTY DOCTOR
SPECIMEN NO : 1007020350

LIPID PROFILE
Cholesterol 3.55 mmol/L (0.00-5.20)
Triglycerides 1.21 mmol.L (0.00-2.30)
Glucose Fasting 4.9 mmol/L (3.5-6.1)

The funny thing is that I forgot to fast and already taken soy milk that morning before the test was ran but still my fasting glucose level fall within a normal range. Does it shows that I'm extra healthy? hehehe... Another thing is that, I'm still kagutan (pening-mabuk alkohol) when my blood was taken because the day before was Sunday which is the day for aramai tih..

Whatever it is, thanks God for keep me in this healthy stage. Still have to watch out every type of meals to be taken every day to make sure my lipid profile remains normal.

How is my staff's blood result??
Sadly to say, 3 of them have a high cholesterol level. they give me a reason which can be accepted.. Bulan puasa dan Raya bah baru2, tu yang tinggi tu...

Yaaa, we ran our blood test actually just a week after raya. So thier reason might be acceptable.. But the good thing is that they ask me for consultation regarding low cholesterol diet.

So, we'd checked ours, how's yours? Better check, murah saja ba tu kalau di private hospital.

CHECK NOW AND CONSULT YOUR DIETITIAN....PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE..!!

A tribe on the north of Borneo.. Here I'm..

The signboard above was designed by friend of mine YUS, for USM's (Health Campus) Borneo Night 2 years ago. It was hanged at the hall's main enterence

We actually very synonym with the word "My Culture, My Pride".. But are we really understand the treasured meaning of it? Speaking about culture, in Malaysia when people discuss about unity they will only focus on three major race which are Malay, Chinese and Indian. They forgot about other races which are not to say a minority but still forming about 1/3 of Malaysian's population which people usually called them as Native Sabah and Sarawak (Bumiputra)..

The little unduk ngadau (winner) and the 1st runner up (right) were my cousins

As for me, I'll admit that I'm not good in term of practicing my culture but untill now I still tried very hard to become a good KadazanDusun generation.. Actually, I'm not a pure either Dusun or Kadazan. I'm a mixed blood, Dusun Gana + Kadazan Membakut + Murut Tenom.. My dad actually a pure Dusun Gana and my mom is a mix Kadazan Murut but she is more to Kadazan than Murut.

Ever heard about Dusun Gana? U can only found Dusun Gana in Keningau which majority found in Bingkor. Thier language is almost totally diffrent from Dusun Tambunan language (the most popular dusun in sabah). When people speak, the sound and tone almost similar to Murut Language.. Ceh, sa ni macam orang linguistik pula. It is my opinion la, dunno yours.. But that make a diffrence between other Dusun la..

My brother's wedding.. They were wearing a simple Dusun Costume..

Oh ya, back to the past, during my campus life in Kelantan, it was only a few Sabahan student there. U can count them by fingers.. During my time, most of them from Ranau and Keningau not bad lor.. From Keningau were me, Sly (mayan mantad Bingkor Baru)- but cannot speak and understand dusun gana eventhough his father is gana, and the other 2 sumandaks from Toboh Laut, Evelyn and Drorise- Dusun Tambunan. I still remember how the Sabahan's sumandak humiliate me when they challenge me to speak Dusun. Then, I spoke Dusun Gana to them and of course they was like 'terpinga-pinga' coz didn't understand even 1 word I spoke untill they called me a "Dusun Sesat".. Then I explained them about Dusun Gana. Finally they understood..

Here are some of my strengths and weaknesses as a KadazanDusun:

WEAKNESSES:
1) Cannot speak fluently both Dusun and Kadazan. But if I have to communicate with those older generation who cannot speak Malay, they still can understand mine lor.Huhuhu.. The basic I know:

Nakanam kono mindogu Dusun Gana?

Toboni dowon in..

Nongo kuan nu laid?

Masiu masaap!!

Ni pun macam salah-salah jak..Ya, I guess I'm bad in term of language.. Have to brush up more..Duhh...

2) From first impression, people thought I'm Chinese. I have a Chinese look even Sabahan people might misjudge my race.

3) I can do 'Kampung' chores but usually if the kerja kampung yang berat-berat I have to force myself to do lor. But kalau setakat kerja2 tabasan, senang jak ba tu..

Both of the pics above taken 2 years ago (If I'm not mistaken).. It was my holiday break in USM. Back to Sabah and helping my uncle in paddy field..

STRENGTHS:
1) I tolerate Tapai very well.. Can "LUNDUS" somemore.. Wanna challenge me? But depends of the taste la.. If the tapai's taste is sour like vinegar, for sure the next day will got diarrhea.. Another taste of tapai is "Manis Pahit Bau Tahi", this one of coz yaksss... Belum lagi yang 3 negara.. Huhuhuhu..

With YUS, my best friend ever, drinking TAPAI in SAMPA!!!

2) I can do every process of planting paddy. From the process of 'menggabur', 'menanam', 'menginsakot', 'menantab', 'angkat tinaun', 'melapos', 'mengipas', 'membayut', 'menjemur' untill the rice can be eaten.. huhuhu...

"Mengipas" using "kipasan".. Modern already..

***Sorry, some of the words are in a Dusun Language.. Those viewers who cannot understand find it yourself***

Even I got lotta waknesses then strengths, I still proud to be KadazanDusun.. Still trying to improve those weaknesses..

Politic in Hospital organization.. I'm the victim of situation..

Well, let me start with this. As the only Dietitian in Hospital Keningau, the work loads are absolutely tough. I have to become a Head of Nutrition & Dietetic Department, doing outpatient and inpatient nutrition therapy, food service which is not only in my department but also the cafeteria as well and the hospital management thingy (meeting and so on).. Doing a lotta works in one time alone for sure resulting in a moderate outcome..I admit it.

Actually, what i'm trying to share with you all is that, I felt bad when one of the Sister (Ketua Jururawat) told and complained to me just now.. I met her during lunch time in cafeteria and she said that the food served by my department is not tasty, patient didn't wanna eat, tasteless and bla..bla..bla.. And she said, as a new Dietitian in this hospital I have to modify the menu. I can see the way she speak to me is like I'm the one who is not productive and she seems like underestimate my ability. That time I wanna answer all her complaint but as a newcomer in this hospital I realised I have to respect her even my position is higher than her and eventhough all the things she said was wrong. Experience made them knowledgeble than me. Once again, I have to admit it. Have a look on the meals prepared by my department:

See, the food is served in a hygenic way.. This is a plating process as my Hospital practicing a centralised plating method.

Lunch for 1st class patient and for Dr on-call

Set Lunch for 3rd class patient

Tea break for 1st class patient and Dr on-call

Look appetizing right.. Last time, I ever did my practical in this hospital and I did eat the food prepared and trust me, the taste is absolutely good. Even one of the chef here ever worked in a 4 star hotel.. But if the diet is a therapeutic diet (special diet for patient with high blood pressure and diabetis mellitus a.k.a kencing manis) of course the food prepared is tasteless (no added salt and sugar)..Thats why most of the complaint we got were from Diabetic and Hypertension patient.. Huhuhu..

People nowadays also have a mindset of Hospital Diet is not tasty (Makanan hospital tidak sedap !!!).. Tell me, what do u expect the taste of the foods when it is cooked in a big amount together like cooking a sweet and sour chicken for almost 180+++ people.. The taste would be diffrent compare to the one cooked in a small amount kan.. You trust me...

Since I worked in this hospital I realised that most of my staff and collegue from other department were not satisfied with the way Sister treat them.. I'm not saying that they didn't do a good job but the way they treat other nurses and staff is in a non-professional way. Not all sisters la. But some of them.. And I ever heard one of the staff said that one of the sister is a backstaber. She will smile at you but at the back she will find your mistakes and will exagarating it when she have a chance..Huhuhu.. Is it only a gossip or should I be more careful?

I also knew that sisters in this hospital have thier own group.. They will gather among thier group yang satu kepala and will not mingle with other group sister.. Even my Hospital Director, Dr William ever mention about 'makan hati berulam jantung' among the sisters during meeting because one of the sister didn't want to borrow medical equipments from other ward instead request a new one for her ward.. This is what I call POLITIC IN HOSPITAL ORGANIZATION. Duhhhh..

So from today onwards, I will try to be insensitive when sisters complain about the service of my department as long as my department is doing good. But if what they complain is right, I will take is in a positive way lor.. Wish me luck...(^.^)..

Getting Bored Of Everyday Routine

I still remember during my student life, I couldn't wait to graduate and finish my study.. I really wanted to get a job, have my own money, a tick wallet, have a cool car and of course appreciate every single minutes to spend without thinking of assignments and exams. But, things happened beyond what I expected.. Working life is ain't that easy dude!!!..

Student Life..

At this moment (working life), I will do the same routine everyday.. Got to wake up at 7am, go to work at 7.30 am.. Hospital Keningau.. I used to go to work by bus for a month ++.. Then after got my car, things become easier..What do you expect working in this big hospital, in your own hometown somemore.. Argggh, depression, loneliness..lol

After arrived at workplace, I will online for a while. Then after that have to go to clinic and wait for patients to come for those who got an appointment with me or else walk in patient (referred by Dr) till the afternoon. In the evening, got to go to ward if there is a referral. If not, just lepaking in office lor... I felt bad of this kinda of working life..

Then when it comes to the end of the work time, volleyball is the only thing in my mind. But sadly to say, people here in Sabah will go for sport at around 6.30pm, of course at this time in Sabah, sudah gelap lor... Well, I'm a volleyball freak.. Couldn't live without playing this sport.. I used to represent my campus for Volleyball Competiton, but everytime we play, could only made it into a semi-final.. So sad...


I guess, that's all of my routine every day.. The same boring things will be repeated every day.. Huhuhu.. Wondering, what life would be next...????
