Dine with the Dean

Last week, we managed to do something that other medical students wouldn't do - pay a visit to the dean's house..yeah!! It's always been our dream to go to his house before we leave the medical school and the opportunity came after Aisyah dengan mulut cabulnye cakap nak datang dinner kat umah die...heheeh!!

It's quite difficult to find the road that led to his house...along the journey we can't imagine how his house would look like...we drove eargerly on Jalan Ulu Kelang in search for Jalan Kasawari...until half of us got lost in the traffic jam...they have to do U-turn 5 times before turn to the correct road...hahahh!!

Upon arriving, we were mesmerized by looking at his simple house; quite surrounding and peaceful. Dato KY (Khalid Yusoff) was not feeling well that nite, probably because of URTI, an instant diagnosis that can be confirmed by listening to his nasal speech (it took less than 5 seconds...haha!!). We had a little, near formal chit chat with him...just like a student asks a question to a lecturer. Nak tergelak pon ade..sume org nampak tense jek..duduk kat sofa yg empuk pon tegak semacam...hehehhe!! Her wife, Datin KY (Khatijah Yusoff) also managed to spend time with us although she had a lot of works to do. She is currently Deputy Vice Chancellor in UPM. In contrast with her husband, she is very polite, friendly and easy to talk with, macam2 cerita keluar...tengok gambar diorang kahwin dulu mmg tergelak tgk KYs yg muda remaja. At least we know a little bit more about our beloved dean's personal life. Simple and staright forward.

"yummylicious again...nasi minyak lauk ayam kurma...KY tempah kat mane ntah...susunan lauk pauk oleh KY sebab Datin busy...heheh"

"mendengar amanat dan nasihat...tapi bukan mcm lecture laa"

After having dinner, the situation became more relaxed and interesting. Dato' KY keluar macam2 cerite yg kelakar, pasal faculty laa itu laa ini la...cam beselaa sume org die nak condemn. Borak punye borak dah nak midnite dah...kitorang bajet lepak sejam leboh dahlaa sbb expect takde ape sgt nak buat...heheh!! Tapi mmg enjoy gile lepak umah die, mulut mengunyah mmg non stop..ade jek makanan...yum yum!!

"thanks for everything Prof!!"

Yummylicious

I don't know how to describe our lecturer's love to all of us but certainly passing the final exam is the main reason for us to 'pau' virtually all the lecturers...not more than 12 hours after Prof KY announced the result, we've been invited to an informal dinner held at half-floating Restoran Tasek Indah in Taman Tasik Shah Alam...yum3!!

"Sume org happy pass final exam...budak laki yg dapat markah rendah pon celebrate jugak"

Professor Dato Dr Haron Ahmad

Adjunct Professor & Senior Consultant Hepatobiliary Surgeon

Faculty of Medicine UiTM

We started our journey by driving to Prof Normalina's house in Cheras since she wanted to 'konvoi' ramai2 pegi Shah Alam. After solat Maghrib we moved from there and took only about half an hour to arrive at the restaurant. There was a few tables already booked for us and we mix with the lecturers and have a dinner together while do some fun chit chat, not a common lecturer-student conversation. We talk about a lot of things; from and bad memories in medical student years to what is our future carreer plan etc. Nice chit chat plus nice foods, that's really complete the nite. It was one of the best dinner in my life...so far!!

Then last Sunday on 13th February 2008, we went to Prof Normalina's house,again. This time she invited us for a BBQ. The menus were BBQ kambing+ayam+sausages, nasi goreng cina, garden salads, jelly kelapa etc. Not having breakfast that morning made us really "mencekik & melantak" all the foods in front of our eyes. All biteable, chewable, foods within our visual field have succesfully been delivered into our empty stomach...ukk!!!

Dato' Harun also came to have the lunch there and we sat together while having some chit chat. Then before he leaves, we had a half-an-hour "chicken soup for the soul" session from him; he does the talking while we do the listening. A lots of advices full with motivations..yeah!!

Having all those lecturers in our faculty who are very concerned and caring about us made me feel so lucky and honoured...bukannye sebab makan2 tuh but the way they appreciate and motivate all of us....it's really made me feel happy!!

P/S Afif: rugi gile ko tak dtg..kan Dr Daud dah jemput...byk gile duh makanan tak abis..huhuh!!

Halimah Bachik

Few weeks ago I went to my old school, STAR to attend its 50 years celebration. Nothing much can be shared with you since I'm not engaged in all of the activities held...not trying to be passive but I think being an observer should be enough for me to escape from the burden in the faculty...heheh!! Thanx to doyok for the drive...

It was really nice to see back my friends there even though only a few of us was able to make it there...what make me excited was to have a breakfast in Halimah Bachik restaurant in Taman Chempaka...hahah!! What a great meal...kuey teow bandung kat situ mmg masyuk...siut lame gile ah tak makan...sume org dalam tuh masih same..dari yg tukang canai roti..pakcik jage kaunter...pakcik masak mee bandung ngan abg buat air...takde yg bertukar...fuhh!!

"bile lagik nak makan nih...??"

V for Vegetarian [part 1]

Yo…wassup!! Did you know anything about blood type diet?meaning that you taking certain types of food that is suitable to your blood type…wahh!!canggih tuh…pelik kan?
There is one popular book on diet entitled ‘Eat Right for Your Type’ by Dr D’Adamo…quite interesting jugaklaa his explanation about the relations of the blood type to the types of food we take…evidence based medicine tuh…ade scientific proof lagik…termakan jugaklaa dakyah2 die tuh…

Mine is type A+…means V.E.G.E.T.A.R.I.A.N!!!!!!!!!!!!Noooooo!!It can’t be like that….am I born to be vege??wah…this is unacceptable…here are some of the discoveries…check it out!!

“Type A flourishes on vegetarian diets. When you get on the Type A Diet, you will naturally be thinner”
= bole caye ke nih? Naturally be thinner? WoW!!

“When Type As eat meat, they experience sluggishness. Type As have low stomach-acid content, therefore they have a hard time digesting meat. Since Type As eat very little animal protein, nuts and seeds supply an important protein component”
= a’ah…btol laa…mmg btol pon rase camtuh…patutlaa!!

“Vegetables are vital to the Type A Diet, providing minerals, enzymes and antioxidants”
“Tofu should be a staple in the Type A Diet”
= ok la…since I also like tofu fah…cheap also maa…RM1!!

“Type As are predisposed to heart disease, cancer, and diabetes”
= damn!!dahlaa tak bole makan daging…senang pulak nak dapat mende alah nih…takkan nak jadik kambing ngan lembu kot…meragut jek!!

In conclusion…after analyzing the above statements…I decided to abandon the advise…hahahah!!! Even though this way of dieting is not clinically proven but it helps those who were already failed with the other way…it is worth trying rather than keep on ballooning like me…hahah!!!
