A story from SARAWAK...

My LI was n still superb, til i dunno how to describe d. really no words to describe. Nway Im doin my LI at JKN Kuching, SARAWAK (Im PROUD)...There's alot of us here. Della, Cecelia, Mitchil and Nisa working in lab (sori guys, i revelead ur name w/o permission). Me, Aziemah and Siok Hui share d same suppervisor. And our working shcedules very flexible. and im not working today..haha. so i make dis as part of my work. Basically, we all have to rotate ourselves to many different places. so far i've been working at 4 clinics and JKN office. we also have to go food quality lab n dietetic unit.


I have finish my clinic duty. both Aziemah n Siok Hui still waiting for their turn. we have to rotate. Well, i really gained a lot of experience in clinics. Not only bout nutrition, bt also health n medical stuff. All the clinics have different stories to tell. and alot of things came unexpectedly. Basically, our duty is to give nutrition advice to malnutrition kids and anemic mother. its like a doctor punya job ler. We also have to give talk and do cooking demo. me n aziemah were attached at the same clinic in february. we saw a women gave birth. damn, it was scary man. i was n still terrified til now. u guys imagine, i was sweating in AIRCOND delivery room. i think my sweats dripped more than the blood. Aziemah is more excited than me. She took the front view of d process (like really looked at the vagina) and i only see from the side (but still very clear). The whole process was so exciting. It was like watching final world cup match. All the nurses there shout "PUSH PUSH" til the baby come out. After the baby come out waaa.....so relieved. and i was suddenly stop sweating. haha...he is a HE. the baby is a boy and his name is Luke. Both me and Aziemah claimed he is our baby. Aftr the baby come out, the nurses cleaned him up and put under light. while the other nurse pull out the placenta from the mother's womb. gosh, it was smelly n disgusting. The placenta is dark blue in colour, almost black. They have to make sure that there's no debris from placenta left inside mother's womb. toxicity. Im still traumatized by the event. guess i rather adopt a child. african maybe..haha.


Actually I just came back from my final clinic duty. Its somewhere out there (lol) and it 2hrs drive from Kuching. So i have to stay there for 2 weeks at the barrack house. Waaa...I was really like a survivor. That place called Sematan, a fishing village. At first i kinda like sad n worried coz thinking of life without astro n streamyx is sux. Nway it was ok accept for mosquitoes n noisy rumah papan. At nite the nurses on call have to rush to clinic if got patient ring them. So they will run and the house is shaking...thats include my bed. so cant really sleep for 2 weeks. And it was pretty scary. The barrack house is just next to a cemetery. Not long before i came got baby died. And a man also died. Buried at the cemetery. Every nite I was the last person to sleep. Sometimes my bulu on my bulu-less arm also standing...lol. cut the crappp...Hmm...I was abit jobless thr coz less patient and no anemic pregnant mother. So my focus is just towards malnutrition cases. I gave talk on malnutrition and underweight kids to food basket family. It was fun. Finally, i have built up my confidence talking in front of people. After the talk, the nurses began to distribute the food basket coz its time for them to collect. On that same day, the nurse bring me to home visit one of the food basket receiver. It was the worst case of the clinic. The baby is 9 mth old and under severe malnutrition. Kecik betul..Damn i cant believe what i saw. Their house got no door and windows. Its just open. The floor very sticky and dirty. i was wearing my most expensive working pants on dat day. kinda regret..haha. The house also no electricity and clean water. They depend on the rain and water from dunno where. But this family arr...haiyo, make you heart-attack only. The parents so irresponsible and not educated. The right word is STUPID...really...father is kaki judi and the mother buat bodoh all the time. Very lazy women. U noe wat, on the same day they got food basket, within that few hours they already open 3 packets of biscuits. They didnt eat them, play masak-masak instead. maybe inspiration from my cooking demo. I was so mad. And so did the nurses. they were nagging at the mother non-stop. I just stare blankly. We found some biscuits thrown outside. Not only biscuits, the kids also play wif marjerin and flour. Sigh. They are so poor and yet dun appreciate the food. They have no proper toilet. The mother said the toilet bowl is blocked. So im wondering how they do their business. And the toilet is open. So anyone interested in watching free show can go there. lol..haiz, enough of this stupid story. sakit hati jer...The nurses at the clinic all eat alot. At first i dun really wanna eat wif them coz they eat all the time. But when i refused to eat they started to force me. so eventually i have to join them. Before i go there, i lost 2kg in less than a mth. but aftr i came back i gained back that 2kg..sigh....all my effort exercising n healthy diet vanished=(


Actually got alot of things to share. But i lazy to type d. So in a quick glance, here wat i do. I went travel alot, follow my boss go visit clinics to check and monitor malnutrition records and anything to do wif nutrition. Under the scope of Pegawai Zat Makanan. Basically we travel alot. I also went to PLKN camp. I followed my boss do inspection there. Check whether the cafe is clean and see how they prepare the food for the PLKN people. I also joined some talk and meetings. Its complicated so better dun explain. Arghh..im tired d. so dats all for now. Chiao...

First Day as Trainee (By Elsa Yeo)



Got my 6 months attachment at M company. Initially wanted to work and stay in kl, but M company replied me faster than any company does and also due to transportation problem that I choose to work in my home town instead.


It was kinda excited to imagine what will be in store for me for these 6 months. All that I've know is that I will be staying in R&D department and not being able to switch to other departments during my training period. I agreed with that in one of my phone interview with M before they accepted me. Hopefully there's alot for me to learn that I will not regret on my decisison.


So the first day was expectedly boring. I arrived 20 minutes earlier due to smooth traffic all the way. Casual is the first impression the office workers gave me. They all were wearing company t-shirts. No formal office clothes, no smart and pretty office girl. Awh, I wore so weird right here.
There's another girl, MLeng, from UPM doing her 6 months training too. Friendly girl at first sight. We chatted awhile before the R&D Manager came for us and brought us to the dept. office.Spices. Nose. 6 months. Spoil.
Those words are running through my head when I first stepped into the office. Apparently the R&D dept. is situated in the lab itself with the spice processing room just beside the office. Lab is small, office is small. 7 permanent female workers are in the dept. Guys aren't into R&D much I guess?


Ms. T, the R&D manager, explained to us how the company works, locally and internationally. They have few plants here in Malaysia, mainly instant noodle and snacks in Melaka whereas beverages in Subang Jaya. I've chosen to be in the snacks division whereas MLeng will be under noodles division. The senior that works under snacks division is meisyn's sis-in-law, and I happened to know another senior worker there who's in-charge of spices. Great. Familiar faces do soothe some tension in me.


And of course, we were told to wear casual and comfortable next time. T-shirts, jeans and sport shoes. Hooo~ Another good news to me! I love no dress code working environment.
We were brought around the factory to witness the processing line of instant noodle, which turn out to be the simplest among the products. Then we were assigned to flip through the files to get to know the company's local and exported products besides doing some simple filing tasks.
And the best thing I discovered about myself is, I dozed off for awhile while doing some filing. One level higher to the Goddess of Sleep. Shit. This better not to happen again next time. Couldn't blame because I had a mere 4 hours sleep before that. Biological clock still couldn't get used to it.


Even easy tasks spent my energy fast. My stomach was growling before lunch time. The first day is to explore. So I decided to try on the canteen's food. Senior advised me not to eat in canteen and pack the food up to office instead. I was wondering until I saw the condition in canteen. Full of foreign workers. Food was average with cheap price. Since I got no transport to travel around during lunch time, canteen food seems like the best option I can get unless I choose to munch some tao sa piah or biscuits.


I finished most of the task given when the clock ticked at 6 pm. But I was in dilemma whether to go off because the workers around me looked like they do not have the intention to leave any sooner. I had to gather my guts to inform both the seniors and the manager that I'm leaving. I don't want my dad to wait for me outside just because I have nothing to do and feel guilty to left. Just hope that this won't cause any distortion to my supervisor.
Well, that's all for the first day, which I expected to be quite easy and dull day. I smell like walking snacks after that. Shirt and hair. Goodness.
