It's a musical day

Today, my simple aim is to listen to Aizat and Faizal Tahir's songs. Simple enough?

Maybe too simple and easy...make it "to memorise Aizat and Faizal Tahir's songs"? eheheee...dumdidumdidum

Apa mimpi?

Actually I'll be going to Konsert Satu Suara-Aizat & Faizal Tahir!!! Weee!!! Never a fan and never even heard of Aizat or Faizal Tahir until the recent Anugerah Juara Lagu early on this year. I find myself getting excited and surfing youtube listening to their songs. Not so in love with Faizal Tahir...he's too MJ for my taste...heeheee... He's got that 'I'm-so-in-love-with-myself' look....heyyy so judgemental eh....*maybe will change my mind after the concert...who knows?*

Definitely in love with this cutie's angelic voice - Aizat *melts my heart :)* That song Pergi and Kau Aku is definitely on top of my list. Kau Aku is such an addictive song I find myself listening to it over and over again ----> *and singing along on top of my voice..heheee...pray the next door neighbour is being more productive than me and is actually at work*

Siti Nurhaliza is apparently will also be making an apperance...I couldn't bothered to try and listen to her new songs cos they are too complicated and weird for my taste...same goes for her sense of fashion...teeeheeee.... I like her old songs tho, so much nicer and easy on the ears.

So now....what do I wear for the concert? I've never been to Istana Budaya, never been to any Malaysian concert ever. Skirt? dress? jeans and T-shirt?

I've been to Keane and Katie Melua's concerts, both held in Aberdeen when I was an FY1...that was awesome!!! I was already in love with Keane's songs... I was standing within arms length with Tom Chaplin, Aboy (my sort of adopted bro and also Keane's crazeee fan) and I were singing and screaming our voice out, so hyped up and excited we could get so close to them. Katie Melua's was really nice too, very soothing and her voice is just so beautiful...as she is. Aboy who was also in love with Katie Melua (and also Katie Holmes) at that time was also there...gazing at his unreachable dream girl...heheee...

Another concert I've been to was Elton John's in Singapore about 1-2 years ago *yeaahh!! Rathi (one of the MO) and I stood up and shook our booty, even though our consultant and registrar were there too...teeeheeeheee* Elton rocks!! He's amazing! I don't care if he swings the other way...he is definitely one of the greatest musician around.

I'm so hyped up now...I love live music!!

*listening to Bennie and The Jets*

....B B B B B Bennie and the jetssssssss....
(btw love Bennie and the Jets crazy dance scene in 27 dresses)

What do I do now?

I have to confess, I MISS WORK!!

I miss my routine morning coffee.
I miss the green scrubs.
I miss my stethoscope.
I miss the needles
I miss juicy fat veins
I miss the smell of alcohol rub...hmm...
I miss the beeping of the monitors
I miss the adrenaline rush whenever I hear the trauma calls
I miss signing off the prescription chart
I miss hearing patients/relatives saying thank you doc
I miss nice nurses and doctors

What I don't miss...
I don't miss ward rounds at all
I don't miss the bleeps
I don't miss not being able to sleep when I want to
I don't miss certifying death
I don't miss breaking bad news
I don't miss nightmare patients/relatives
I don't miss poking patient's eyes with green needles

I just miss being myself. It is difficult to identify myself without a job...it is quite ironic as I've been saying that it is just a job...which it still is...I just didn't quite realise how much I depend on it...(financially..goes without saying), but also for my own sanity and confidence. I definitiely do not want to be one of those people who breathes and lives because of their job...the only thing is I'm not sure if it possible to have a balanced lifestyle working here in Malaysia as a doctor. Maybe as a consultant or reg...but I have yet to hear a good word from any of my doctor friends here. LOADS of horror stories...yes...never a good word. Call me chicken, lembik whatever....but I am a person who cannot stand being bullied(not anymore) and I wish to love my job, not hate it to death. I either will shout back or cry if I'm shouted at (and apparently we are supposed to just stay as quiet as a mouse or only say you're sorry for whatever reason you're being shouted at). 8 months of that in Singapore and that was enough to send me packing to New Zealand.

I don't know if I can do that again...

*Life is just too short to be unhappy*

Sad sad piggy

Went to Maybank to activate my account which has been dormant for more than a year...truth to be told, I have been trying to close the account a few times but stopped by mum cos she thought I will need that account in the future.

Well, turns out she is right, I've been using HSBC account, very useful for overseas purpose, transferring money etc. Now that I'm back in Malaysia, I find that HSBC ATM machines is not as accessible as the local banks. So much for their slogan 'the world's local bank'...not as local as I thought..nevertheless it has been useful and I intend to keep it...just in case...teeheeheee...*?london?paris?new york?sydney?* the wonderer in me is still ALIVE!!! muahhahahaa!!

Anyway, went to KL central Maybank 2 days ago and activated the account. I still have RM 117.42 in the account...yeaaayyy...I wonder how long that will last...ahaha
Had a long stroll in Midvalley...reaaalllyy lonnnggg stroll...maybe about 4-5 hours..killing time while waiting for my darling to finish work. In the meantime killing my piggy bank as well (baju *check*, book *check*, lovely lace stuff *check*, coffee *check*, photo albums-not yet)...tsk tsk tsk...*haii...need to start working stat!...or else...*

It's Friday!!! lurve Friday cos tomorrow is Saturday :) tralalalaaaaa
