    Hey there, lovely readers!

    Today, we’re diving into the wonderful world of pet peeves.

    Yep, we’re talking about those little things that just get under your skin and make you want to scream into a pillow.

    What bothers you and why? Buckle up because we’re about to take a wilde ride through some common annoyances.

    1. Slow Internet

    Let’s kick things off with a classic: slow internet.

    Is there anything more infuriating than watching the spinning wheel of death while trying to stream your favourite show?

    Or worse, when you’re in the middle of an important Zoom meeting and your screen freezes in the most unflattering way possible.

    Seriously, is it too much to ask for a stable connection in the 21st century?

    2. Telemarketers

    Next up, telemarketers.

    These persistent callers have an uncanny ability to ring just as you’re sitting down for dinner or when you’re in the middle of a relaxing bath.

    The worst part?

    They always seem to have the most important and irrelevant offers just for you.

    “Congratulations! You’ve been selected for a free cruise!” Thanks, but I’ll pass.

    3. Overly Loud Chewing

    Can we talk about loud chewers for a second?

    There’s something about the sound of someone chomping away on their food that can drive even the most patient person up the wall.

    It’s like they’re auditioning for a role in a sound effects department.

    If I wanted to hear that, I’d turn on an ASMR video.

    4. Endless Email Chains

    How about those never-ending email chains?

    You know the ones where everyone feels the need to hit “Reply All” with their two cents.

    Before you know it, your inbox looks like a novel, and you’re stuck scrolling through 47 messages just to find the original point.

    Can we all agree to use “Reply All” sparingly?

    5. Misbehaving Technology

    Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, right?

    But when your printer decides to have a meltdown right before an important deadline or your phone battery dies at 20%, it feels like the universe is playing a cruel joke.

    Don’t even get me started on autocorrect—no, I did not mean “ducking.”

    6. Slow Walkers

    And then there are the slow walkers.

    You’re in a hurry, weaving through the crowd like a ninja, and then you get stuck behind someone who seems to be taking a leisurely Sunday stroll on a Tuesday morning.

    It’s like they’re walking through molasses, and all you can do is smile politely and wait for an opening.

    7. Leftovers with No Expiration Date

    Here’s a fun one: leftovers in the fridge with no expiration date.

    Is this container of spaghetti from last week or last month? Who knows!

    It’s a game of culinary roulette, and the stakes are high.

    Do you risk it, or do you toss it? The struggle is real.

    So, there you have it—my list of things that bother me and why.

    From slow internet to leftover roulette, these little annoyances can really test our patience.

    But hey, they also give us something to laugh about (eventually).

  2. Home Decor Gone Wrong: Laughing Through the Chaos

    📌Disclaimer: Please note that if you click on any of the links and make a purchase, I will be receiving a small commission at NO extra cost to you📌

    Home decor projects are supposed to transform our spaces into beautiful, cosy sanctuaries.

    But sometimes, even with the best intentions, things go hilariously wrong.

    Let’s dive into some funny stories of home decor mishaps and share tips on how to keep your cool when chaos ensues.

    **1. The DIY Disaster**


    – **Story**: Inspired by a trendy DIY project on Pinterest, you decide to create a stunning accent wall using reclaimed wood.

    Halfway through, you realize you’ve miscalculated the amount of wood needed and now have a patchwork wall that looks more like a jigsaw puzzle than a rustic masterpiece.

    – **Tip**: Measure twice, buy once. Always purchase a little extra material to account for mistakes.

    And remember, imperfections add character!

    **2. The Furniture Fiasco**

    – **Story**: You fall in love with a massive vintage dresser at a flea market.

    Without measuring your space, you buy it, only to find it won’t fit through your front door.

    Now, it’s an unwelcome lawn ornament until you figure out what to do with it.

    – **Tip**: Measure your doorways, hallways, and the intended space before purchasing large furniture.

    If you’re unsure, bring a friend for a second opinion.

    **3. The Paint Panic**

    – **Story**: You decide to freshen up your living room with a bold new paint colour.

    After a few hours of painting, you step back and realize your vibrant choice looks more like a fluorescent nightmare.

    Your living room now resembles a neon sign.

    – **Tip**: Always test paint colors on a small section of the wall first and view them at different times of the day.

    If you make a mistake, don’t panic—paint is relatively easy to fix.

    **4. The Curtain Catastrophe**

    – **Story**: You order beautiful new curtains online, only to find out they’re too short for your windows.

    Instead of elegant drapes, you’ve got awkward high-water curtains that make your windows look like they’re wearing capris.

    – **Tip**: Measure your windows’ height and width before ordering curtains.

    If you’ve already made the mistake, consider adding a coordinating fabric panel at the bottom to lengthen them.

    **5. The Assembly Agony**

    – **Story**: That flat-pack furniture seemed like a bargain until you started assembling it.

    Three hours in, you’re surrounded by an assortment of screws and mysterious parts, and the instructions might as well be in another language.

    – **Tip**: Take your time, follow the instructions step by step, and don’t hesitate to ask for help.

    Sometimes, an extra pair of hands makes all the difference.

    **6. The Rug Riddle**

    – **Story**: You buy a gorgeous area rug online, but when it arrives, it’s way too small for your living room.

    Now, it looks like a tiny island in the middle of your sea of furniture.

    – **Tip**: A rug should be large enough to fit under all major pieces of furniture in a room.

    If you’re in doubt, bigger is usually better.

    **7. The Lighting Lunacy**

    – **Story**: In an effort to brighten up your home, you install new light fixtures.

    But instead of a warm, inviting glow, you get blinding interrogation room lighting.

    Now, every flaw in your decor (and skin) is painfully visible.

    – **Tip**: Choose light bulbs with the right colour temperature for the mood you want to create.

    Warm white (2700K-3000K) is usually best for living spaces.

    **8. The Art Arrangement Anarchy**

    – **Story**: Determined to create a gallery wall, you enthusiastically start hanging frames without a plan.

    The result is a chaotic, uneven mess that looks more like a crime scene than an art display.

    – **Tip**: Lay out your frames on the floor first to plan the arrangement.

    Use a level and painter’s tape to mark the wall before hammering in nails.

    **9. The Plant Predicament**

    – **Story**: You add a touch of green with some houseplants, but within weeks, they’re wilted and sad.

    Turns out, your green thumb is more like a black thumb.

    – **Tip**: Choose plants that suit your home’s lighting conditions and your care abilities.

    Start with low-maintenance plants like succulents or snake plants.

    **10. The Accessory Overload**

    – **Story**: Eager to decorate, you fill every surface with trinkets and decor pieces.

    Instead of a stylish look, you end up with a cluttered mess that feels more like a flea market than a home.

    – **Tip**: Less is more.

    Choose a few key pieces that you love and let them shine. Regularly edit your decor to avoid overcrowding.

    Embracing the Chaos

    Home decor mishaps are part of the journey to creating a space that truly feels like home.

    Embrace the chaos, laugh at the mistakes, and learn from them.

    Each error is a step closer to your perfect sanctuary.

  3. Superstitious? Me? Pfft… Unless the Universe is Listening.

    Are you superstitious?

    📌Disclaimer: Please note that if you click on any of the buttons and make a purchase, I will be receiving a small commission at NO extra cost to you📌

    Am I Superstitious? Let’s Just Say… It’s Complicated.

    This morning, my son and his buddies threw out a dangerous question: “Are you superstitious?”

    Now, logically, I want to say no. I don’t walk around tossing salt over my shoulder or fearing black cats. But if we’re being honest… I also refuse to say things like “Wow, nothing has gone wrong today!” because I know the universe is listening.

    So, am I superstitious? Let’s just say I respect the possibility of unseen forces—but I’m also not afraid to test them.

    Let’s break it down.

    1. The ‘Don’t Jinx It’ Rule (AKA, I’m Not Stupid)

    You ever confidently say something, only for life to immediately slap you in the face?

    🔹 Example: “Ugh, I never get sick.” Boom—suddenly, I’m drowning in tissues and self-pity.
    🔹 Pain Level: 9/10. Because why does the universe have to be so petty?

    ✅ How I Handle It: I knock on wood. Every time. Even if it’s fake. Even if people are watching. If I forget? You best believe I’m mentally whispering “no jinx, no jinx, no jinx” to undo the damage.

    2. The ‘Something Feels Off’ Rule (My Sixth Sense is Real)

    I don’t know if it’s energy, instinct, or just years of experience with people being sketchy, but if something feels wrong, I listen.

    🔹 Example: Walking into a place and feeling an immediate, unexplainable sense of nope.
    🔹 Pain Level: 10/10 if ignored. Because the ONE TIME I brushed it off, I ended up in a situation I never should have been in.

    ✅ How I Handle It: If my gut tells me to leave, I leave. No debating, no justifying. The last thing I need is to become the main character in a bad horror movie.

    3. The ‘Ghosts? Prove Me Wrong’ Rule (I’m Ready for This Fight)

    Unlike most people, I don’t fear ghosts, Ouija boards, or haunted places—I’m fascinated by them. Do I believe in spirits and the paranormal? Not really.

    But am I willing to test it? Hell yes.

    🔹 Example: While some people refuse to step foot in a haunted house, I’m the one saying, “Alright, if something’s here, show yourself.”
    🔹 Pain Level: TBD. But honestly, if a ghost did prove me wrong, I’d be more excited than scared.

    ✅ How I Handle It: If the supernatural wants my attention, it better bring receipts. Until then, I’m keeping my skepticism and my curiosity wide open.

    So, Am I Superstitious?

    Let’s put it this way—I don’t live in fear of bad luck, but I also don’t poke the bear (except when it comes to ghosts, apparently).

    If knocking on wood, trusting my instincts, and challenging the unknown keeps things interesting, then I’m all in.

    Now, tell me—are you superstitious?

    Or are you the type to laugh in the face of fate?

    Drop your thoughts in the comments… but if your luck suddenly changes, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

  4. NSFW Ink Dreams: Where Would You Put Yours?

    What tattoo do you want, and where would you put it?

    Some people want a discreet infinity symbol on their ankle.
    Others want angel wings between their shoulder blades.
    Me?

    I want the Joker and Harley Quinn… tangled in sin… on my inner thigh.

    Yes, you read that right. I already have six tattoos—each one a slice of my story—but this?
    This one’s going to be my masterpiece.

    Why settle for basic when your thighs are prime real estate for chaos, colour, and the promise of a little danger?

    Why the Inner Thigh, though?

    Well, darling, that’s easy.

    It’s hidden… until it’s not.

    It’s intimate. Naughty. A secret meant to be earned.

    And every time I cross my legs or shift in bed, I’ll know there’s a beautiful madness resting just beneath my skin.

    The Joker, smirking with toxic charm.
    Harley, wide-eyed, wild, loyal in all the wrong ways.
    The ultimate ride-or-die pair—etched into my flesh, just inches from all the fun.

    Honestly? If you’re going to mark your body forever, make it interesting.
    Make it tell a story… or whisper one between parted thighs.

    More Tattoos. More Mischief. More Me.

    My body is already a canvas of secrets and symbols.

    Not just to look.
    But to wonder.
    To imagine what else might be hiding underneath the lace and leather.

    So, yes—my Joker and Harley thigh piece is still in the works.
    But the rest of my skin? Hungry. Ready. Waiting for the needle to tell another scandalous tale.

  5. My Secret Obsession: Dark Romance Audiobooks & The Voices That Make Me Swoon

    What’s something most people don’t know about you?

    📌Disclaimer: Please note that if you click on any of the links and make a purchase, I will be receiving a small commission at NO extra cost to you📌

    What’s Something Most People Don’t Know About Me?

    If you asked Chat Ludlow, the commanding king of the dark Fae and richest man on Earth, what most people don’t know about him, he’d probably smirk and say, “Everything. They only see what I let them.”

    That, my friends, is what I’m aiming for here—a little mystery, a little intrigue, and a lot of fun.

    So, what’s something most people don’t know about me?

    Well, I’m not just a dark romance enthusiast—oh no. I’ve got layers, much like Chat’s intricate plans to make Belle his forever (cue the swoon).

    My Secret Obsession? Dark Romance Audiobooks 🎧

    Yup, you read that right. While I live for crafting my own sizzling stories, I’ve got another obsession that’s just as intense: dark romance audiobooks. And not just any narrators will do—no, no.

    My go-tos are the deliciously deep voices of Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton.

    There’s something about the way they bring the tension, passion, and raw emotion of a story to life that keeps me hooked for hours.

    Think of it as the Chat Ludlow experience—dangerous, seductive, and oh-so-intoxicating. Much like Belle, I can’t help but swoon every time those voices take over my headphones.

    Just like how Chat’s deep, commanding voice sends Belle into a fluster, audiobooks narrated by these legends have the power to take any romance to the next level.

    If you’re not already obsessed, trust me—you’re missing out on the ultimate audio romance experience.

    Why Audiobooks? Because They Let You Escape.

    Life, much like the worlds Chat and Belle navigate, can get overwhelming.

    Between work, life, and the chaos in between, we all need a way to escape. And for me, that’s pressing play on a dark romance audiobook and letting those velvety voices take me into another world.

    It’s a bit like falling headfirst into one of Chat’s steamy power games—except this time, it’s Aiden Snow telling me all the dirty details, and I don’t have to lift a finger.

    When you listen to Aiden Snow or Teddy Hamilton, it’s like having your very own Chat Ludlow right in your ear, whispering all those dangerously sweet nothings.

    What’s not to love? You can dive into a world of Fae kings, ruthless CEOs, and unrelenting passion—all while folding your laundry (because multitasking is key, am I right?).

    Everyone loves a good escape.

    Whether you’re listening to a podcast or, like me, you’re falling for a brooding fictional alpha on audio, there’s something magical about immersive experiences.

    What This Says About Me (and Chat)

    Now, I know what you’re thinking—What does an obsession with dark romance audiobooks have to do with writing or being Chat Ludlow’s obsession?

    Well, everything, actually. People expect you to be a certain way based on what you create, but there’s always more beneath the surface.

    For example, Chat may come off as a dominant, ruthless man in control of everything, but underneath it all, he’s fiercely in love with Belle—someone who softens his edges and makes him vulnerable.

    Similarly, when I’m not writing, I’m melting into the worlds created by my favourite narrators, where love, danger, and passion intertwine in a way that’s just so satisfying.

    Your Turn: What Don’t People Know About You?

    Okay, now it’s your turn. I’ve spilled my secret—dark romance audiobooks narrated by the dreamy Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton. Chef’s kiss, right?

    What’s something about you that people don’t expect?

    Do you also escape into stories when life gets overwhelming, or is there another secret passion you’re hiding?

    Drop a comment below and tell me your favourite audiobook narrator or what surprising hobby you’re obsessed with.

    1. The Spicy Spectacle

    You pride yourself on your tolerance for heat, so when the friendly street vendor in Bangkok offers you a taste of their “mild” curry, you confidently accept with a smile. But as the first fiery bite hits your tongue like a flamethrower in a chili factory, you quickly realize that you may have underestimated the true meaning of “Thai spicy.” Cue the frantic gulps of water and the impromptu fire-breathing performance that leaves your fellow diners both impressed and slightly concerned for your well-being.

    2. The Mystery Meat Mishap

    You’re feeling adventurous, so when the menu at that quaint little bistro in Paris lists “escargot” as the house specialty, you decide to throw caution to the wind and give it a try. But as you take your first tentative bite of the slimy delicacy, you can’t shake the sinking feeling that you may have just eaten something that was alive mere moments ago. Cue the existential crisis and the fervent vow to stick to more familiar fare for the remainder of your culinary adventures.

    3. The Cultural Conundrum

    You’re determined to immerse yourself in the local culture, so when your gracious host in Tokyo presents you with a steaming bowl of what can only be described as “mystery soup,” you graciously accept with a smile and a bow. But as you tentatively take a sip and try to identify the various unidentifiable floating objects, you realize that sometimes, cultural immersion comes with a side of gastrointestinal distress. Cue the polite nods and the silent prayers for a speedy recovery as you struggle to maintain your composure in the face of culinary adversity.

    4. The Street Food Fiasco

    You’ve heard rave reviews about the street food scene in Marrakech, so when you stumble upon a bustling market teeming with tantalizing smells and exotic flavors, you can’t resist the siren call of the street vendors. But as you dig into your first bite of falafel, you quickly realize that street food adventures come with their own set of risks – namely, the inevitable battle with food poisoning that leaves you regretting every culinary decision you’ve ever made.

  7. Lazy Days As A Medical Officer

    Click here for more articles & daily dose.

    Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

    While I’m at work, I’d be looking forward to returning home or towards my off day. In contrary, while I’m at home or on my off day, I’d be thinking about returning to work.

    Do you feel the same way?

    Previously, as a House Officer, I’m used to the “one off day per week”. Whereas, as a Medical Officer, weekends and public holidays are granted off days, except if you’re well… oncall and that depends on your current department as well as some departments require you to put in a half day shift during weekends or public holidays.

    I’d say for me, considering I live alone and I don’t even own a car here in Sarawak, I’m pretty much lazy and unproductive to the point I get restless sometimes.

    That’s counter productive as rest days are meant to make you feel… rested, right?

    Thus, on my off days, since I’m an early riser, I try not to disturb my circadian rhythm by getting up at the same time as usual every morning, partly because I forgot to off the alarm or somehow, my body clock just wakes me up every time.

    To feel so-called “productive”, I’d do some studying with my morning coffee till I well, lose my focus, then I start wondering about lunch and start cooking, handwash my clothes because I’m too lazy to walk downstairs with a bag of clothes and finally doze off for my afternoon nap.

    I’d then wake up in the evening to have dinner and pack my essentials and bag for work the following day before finally, retiring to bed early.

    I really need to be more productive during my off days.

    Even me writing this just sounds too depressing.

  8. My First Tagging On-Call Shift As A Floating Medical Officer

    Related Posts:

    My first tagging oncall shift was on a Sunday with a fellow medical officer I knew when I was a House Officer in General Surgery. Back then, he was having his attachment in General Surgery.

    Just like a House Officer, we had to undergo a period of “tagging“.

    In the Department of Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery at Sarawak General Hospital, I had to undergo a tagging period of one month, every other day (EOD). This is because, I am a newborn medical officer with no previous experience in General Surgery (as a Medical Officer).

    This is an advantage as I would be able to learn as much as I could within a span of 1 month. However, it was also a disadvantage as I’m afraid, I would be burnt out mentally and physically considering the on-calls were on every other day (EOD).

    “I can do it. If others could, I could too.” , I repeated this mantra to myself but the learning curve is going to be an extremely steep one.

    During my first tagging oncall, thankfully, it was with a fellow senior colleague who I was rather comfortable with.

    We started with our morning ward rounds followed by passover and peri-rounds. After we were done, we went back to the ward to settle our pending job-lists followed by lunch.

    As a tagging on-call medical officer, the first call would be to me for referrals. After which, I would discuss with my senior and proceed to see the referred patient together. After reviewing our newly electively admitted patients, pre-op rounds with surgeon and demarcating the op site and pre-op meeting, we went back home in the evening and returned at night together for our night reviews which we updated in the Department’s WhatsApp Group on the progress of certain patients. Incidentally, a patient whom we were awaiting for op was called into the operating theatre and the operation ended at 2am. Finally, we returned home for the night.

    I was nervous of course as I usually get anxious easily. However, I took my shower and headed to bed.

    My phone was kept beside me in case I were to receive calls or referrals. At 6am, I returned to the ward and started our morning reviews as well as prepared for our morning rounds.

    Since, it was a Monday, it was morning ward rounds, handover and peri rounds as usual. However, since I was still tagging, I was expected to stay till 5pm or to join the ongoing surgeries.

    Thus, my first postcall was spent in the operating theatre assisting till 6pm. However, despite the ongoing operation, I excused myself to return home and rest.

    The following day will be another one, thankfully, not oncall but within office hours.

    Thankfully, it was a good call with a fellow senior that I was comfortable with in terms of approaching in regards to my doubts which was undoubtedly, many.

    I can only hope that I would be able to survive this whole month of tagging.

  9. My First Day As A Medical Officer In KKM

    Related Posts:

    Housemanship or Internship for Doctors in Malaysia lasts for a duration of 2 years, upon completion of our medical school journey.

    For some, they began shortly upon graduation whilst for others, they took a gap year.

    I submitted my application to pursue my internship in the Ministry of Health, Malaysia (Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia, KKM) shortly after my graduation but did not actually begin till 6 months later in 2023. Two years later, thankfully, I’ve completed and fully registered with the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) and possess a valid Annual Practicing Certificate (APC).

    Post housemanship, I went on a 3-weeks-break and on the 21st of August 2025, I reported for duty as a Medical Officer.

    Upon my completion of housemanship, one would have to go through a “floating period” of maximum 6 months prior to receiving their placement in whichever department, hospital or state of choice. Usually, the floating period occurs in the same hospital that one had completed their housemanship or internship in.

    Thankfully, I was offered to float in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. However, I was diving into the world of Surgery with no experience or knowledge in basic suturing.

    During my first day, I reported for duty at the Hospital Director’s Office to receive my “floating” placement letter, checked my remaining leaves and proceeded to Burn Ward of Sarawak General Hospital.

    The Burn Ward.

    I’ve had good memories previously as a House Officer here and I was beyond ecstatic as well as relieved to be accepted into this department which is filled with understanding and helpful bosses.

    I was then given orientation by one of the medical officers, clerked a burn patient that was just admitted and spent most of my time accompanying a fellow friend who thankfully is in the same department. Considering it was my first day and a rather slow one, I was able to return home at 5pm.

    There’s just so much more that I have yet to learn. Hopefully, I’ll have both the mental and physical strength to push through.

    Thankfully, the environment is one that is filled with love and encouragement.

  10. Life After Offtag In Emergency & Trauma | Housemanship Diaries

    Related Posts:

    The tagging hours in the Department of Emergency & Trauma is from 7am till 10pm, for a total of 10 days and one off day per week. There are no assessments required to off-tag, only hours required to cash in.

    During our tagging season, we were not allocated for night shifts as well.

    For me, tagging in this posting felt like an eternity. I remembered counting down my days before I would finally “offtag” and be switched to regular working hours. I also remembered being extremely exhausted at the end of my shift, wondering how did my fellow colleagues managed to pull through.

    Tagging in this posting as compared to the other postings was considered less stressful as we were not required to arrive early for morning rounds. We merely had to arrive on time and upon the end of our shift, we leave, as compared to other postings where we would stay back almost every time, cash in “unpaid overtimes.”

    Finally after 10 days of tagging, I officially “off-tagged“.

    So how was life after that?

    Much better. Thankfully.

    Regular hours in the Emergency & Trauma Department meant working a 12-hours shift per day with an off day per week and a single night shift.

    Basically, we had to ensure that in total, we had to meet the total 60-hours shift per week.

    Thus are the timings for our respective shifts:

    • AM Shift: 7am – 7pm
    • PM Shift: 10am – 10pm
    • Night Shift: 10pm – 10am

    If you have read my articles on “The Joy Of Working The Night Shift As A House Officer” as well as “My Favourite Time Of The Day At Work“, I mentioned that I absolutely love the night shift. The disadvantage of working the night shift is that we are usually alone and the night shift can be rather unpredictable.

    However, it is not the same for me in this posting. Out of the shifts listed above, my favourite is the AM shift, 7am till 7pm. Initially, getting up for work at 7am is tough especially after working the PM shifts back-to-back. But after the initial morning sleepiness wears off, the day proceeds as usual and we return home at 7pm which is nice.

    Life after offtag in this department ensured that I had adequate rest prior to my shift starting. No doubt, it is a 12-hours shift every time, we usually arrive and leave work on time as compared to other postings.

    Nonetheless, I was still exhausted after every shift. Perhaps it was due to the accumulated mental and physical stress throughout the previous five postings that when I am finally blessed with extra rest, I am still tired.

    If you are still in the tagging phase, be it in this department or others, please stay strong. Remember that it doesn’t last forever, it is merely over a certain span of days or weeks.

    Keep showing up, keep doing the good work to the best of your strength and abilities and keep moving forward.

  11. Day 1 Of My Final Posting – Day 647 Of Housemanship

    Related Posts:

    My first day of my final posting, The Emergency & Trauma Department, commenced on the 11th of April 2025.

    Day 647, finally. Finally! I’ve pulled through and entered the last pit stop of my journey as a House Officer.

    In every posting, I have always looked forward to this posting. Prior to joining, I’ve always had mixed feelings and initially wanted to join Anaesthesiology. However, a few weeks prior to entering, the other postings such as Psychiatry, Klinik Kesihatan and Anaesthesiology were removed from our options and everyone had to rotate in the Emergency and Trauma Department.

    This is good. This meant more manpower.

    However, just as the previous postings, prior to joining any new department, I’ve always had this fear and mixed feelings because it is after a new environment.

    My fear was stumbling too badly on my first day. Thus, of course, I did my research and questioned the people I knew who were already in the posting.

    My First Day began on a Friday in the “Yellow Respi Zone“.

    The Yellow Respi Zone consists of patients who are unable to saturate well under room air, usually less than 90%. Having just completed the Medical Posting, the patients allocated there are primarily Medical patients or in particular, having respiratory issues such as patients developing acute pulmonary oedema or fluid overload secondary to non-compliance to their fluid restriction.

    Thankfully, I have just completed Medical. Thus, I am able to apply my knowledge learnt which was still fresh at that time.

    I arrived a little before 7am since the tagging shift is from 7am till 10pm, introduced myself to the medical officers and talked to a fellow friend who arrived and would be working in the same zone as well. I went through the triages and casenotes of the patients to see if there were any active cases or cases that were due tracing of bloods or referrals.

    The day started off rather quietly and it was manageable. I followed the morning handover rounds at 7:45am and after that attended to any new patients or refer if needed.

    Basically, when a patient comes in, especially to this zone where the patients’ chief complaint is “shortness of breath“, the first person who attends would usually auscultate or “listen” to the lungs and check the vital sigs prior to taking blood or doing a “full clerking” such as obtaining their past medical history or history of presenting illness.

    The next person that steps in usually helps with the bloods and fills the forms.

    Everyone worked together as a team and somehow indirectly we were communicating with one another without actually voicing it out. It seemed almost like a dance, or a workout.

    Afternoon came and afternoon handovers started at 2:45pm. I met a lovely medical officer who is a junior herself but one who was extremely upbeat and more than happy to guide me.

    I learnt a lot during my first day with her. She even encouraged me to consider joining this department during my floating period.

    The evenings became extremely busy to which I did not really realise. Maybe because it was my first day or maybe because I have just completed my Medical Posting (and it was much busier over there), or perhaps because I simply enjoyed working with my superior or team on that day.

    The day ended at 10pm and I walked back home. Thankfully, I lived within walking distance thus I saved time and did not have to worry regarding transportation or parking issues.

    My first day in my last posting or rotation started off well which is something I’m more than thankful for.

  12. Surviving 10 Days Of Tagging | Emergency & Trauma Department

    Related Posts:

    My tagging days in my sixth and final rotation, Emergency and Trauma Department, lasted for a total of 10 days which was from the 11th of April till the 23rd of April 2025. This is excluding our one “off day” for the week.

    Did I manage to last throughout the tagging days?

    Not quite.

    I did take a sick leave during my second week of tagging. The reason was that I was just extremely tired.

    Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com

    The tagging hours in the Emergency and Trauma Department is from 7 am till 10pm, just in other postings.

    The good thing about this department is that we do not need to do morning reviews. Thus, coming way early prior to our shift is unheard of. We merely come and leave on time.

    However, considering that it is the Emergency Department, things are unpredictable whereby things could be quiet one moment and hectic the next.

    Hence, on days which burn, it can be extremely tiring. But, completing these tagging days are a must and so on slow days where the hours seem to pass by really slowly, I make it a point to have an “hourly toilet break“. On busy days, it may be the only time that I am given a chance to sit and breathe.

    On top of that, I made sure I took my lunch and dinner break. Not because I was hungry as I was used to having my meal for the day after work. It was merely my way of spending my time during my tagging days.

    At 10pm, the shift is over and I leave, even if the floor is busy because the following day my shift begins at 7am again.

    Finally after 10 days of “tagging“, I have finally off-tagged and shifted to “shift hours“.

    There are no assessments in order to off-tag. as there were in other postings, which is a good thing. However, tagging in this posting felt long and seem to went on forever for me. Perhaps, this was because I was mainly tagging alone as I entered a month later than my fellow peers.

    Nonetheless, I was glad to be done with this schedule and shift back to a regular 12-hours shift.

  13. My Last Shift As A House Officer in Medical | Housemanship Diaries

    Related Posts:

    At the time of writing this article, I am no longer in my Fifth Rotation, Medical but already in my Sixth Rotation, The Emergency and Trauma Department and at the same time, due for my last shift in my Sixth rotation as well as being a House Officer.

    Looking back, my last shift in the Medical Department seemed ages ago.

    However, I remembered that I was night shift at that time and was at Male Medical Ward (MMW).

    My duration working in this ward was around 3 weeks. However, it was my least favourite as compared to Medical 3, Medical 4, the Infectious Disease (ID) Ward or being part of the Perimedical team. The superiors were alright but it was the vibe of the ward in general that I found unsettling that I can’t quite place my fingers on.

    The night shift in Medical is from 8pm till 9am. However, on that day, I recalled leaving home at 6:30pm to go to work as we were not allocated any “long day” shifts.

    “Long Day” or “LD” are those who work from 7am till 10pm. Thus from 6pm till 8pm, prior to the night shift person coming, there is a 2 hours gap which is filled by them.

    On that week, there were no “Long Day’s” and everyone had the opportunity to return home at 6pm. However, who would fill in the “2-hours gap”?

    Thus, I remembered me and my colleagues at that time coming into a mutual agreement and compromise that one person would stay till 7pm and the night shift person would arrive an hour earlier at 7pm.

    It was a good compromise except there would be nobody to accompany us till 10pm and usually their help is valuable. Those hours till 10pm can get rather hectic at times.

    I remembered arriving around 6:45pm and started receiving handover from the AM teams and was cautioned to lookout for a particular patient in the acute cubicle who was rather unstable.

    Upon finishing our handover, the Medical Officer on-call for that ward arrived and things started to go hectic.

    I can’t exactly remember what happened but I was on my feet the whole time and did not begin my “coming mornings” till 3am.

    Thankfully, I was still able to complete them before 5am and the morning bloods were out in the system on time.

    That morning during my post night shift, I was “summoned” for minimal bloods which I completed immediately. Usually during my post night shift, I would remain within the sights of the “AM team” and offer to help out where I could.

    But I remembered at that time that I was completely spent. I decided to rest in the House Officer’s room and take any bloods a little later prior to my shift ending, if there were any.

    Surprisingly there were none after that. I recalled seeing a junior taking the blood of a patient as I was exiting the ward and asked him as to why he did not just ask me.

    He claimed that upon arriving for his morning shift, I looked rather spent and after I left to take a short break in the House Officer’s room, he just did not want to disturb me. After all, he said, it was only one patient.

    I was touched and grateful. It was a small gesture. However, it’s small, simple things that sometimes touches you.

    After that, I clocked out for the last time as a House Officer in the Medical Department.

  14. My First Night Shift Covering Medical 4 / Medical 5 / Infectious Disease Ward In Sarawak General Hospital – Housemanship Diaries

    Related Posts:

    Around my third month in the Department of Medical at Sarawak General Hospital, I was reallocated to Medical 4 which is the “Nephrology Ward” meaning patients who are admitted with newly diagnosed chronic kidney disease or have underlying kidney pathology requiring biopsy or haemodialysis (HD support) but clinically stable as in not requiring oxygen support, not in sepsis or not requiring medications for blood pressure support are admitted here.

    I will explain more about that ward in another article.

    Anyway, back to the reason for this article, being allocated in this ward meant that I had to cover not just this ward, Medical 4 but also Medical 5 as well as the Infectious Disease Ward during my night shift.

    In the Department of Medical, the night shift is from 8pm till 10am the following day.

    While I was allocated here, I was blessed enough to have a few taggers in the ward and tagging is from 7am till 10pm.

    Thus, upon heading down at 8pm, there are usually a few people in Medical 4 till 10pm. Thus, upon entering my shift, I would first head over to Level 9 to place my bags, pop into Medical 4, for a while and then head over to Medical 5 to take the coming morning bloods.

    Upon completion, I would then head over to Medical 4 and begin my coming mornings there. Usually while I’m taking my coming mornings, new patients will come in and thus I would transfer in at the same time.

    Upon completion of my coming mornings in Medical 4, I would usually send my bloods at around 2am and then head over to the Infectious Disease Ward to take the coming mornings.

    In between I would be free but sometimes I would receive call for new transfer ins at Medical 4 and Medical 5.

    At 5-6am, I start running the blood gases. Usually when I take the coming mornings bloods, I would take the blood gases as well and keep it in a separate syringe in the cooler.

    Surviving the night shift initially was intimidating as I have yet to experience it and Medical 4 and Medical 5 were located far apart from each other.

    My main concern was if something were to occur at both wards at the same time.

    Thankfully, my experiences were mostly good and I enjoyed every night shift I’ve experienced thus far in this ward.

  15. What quality do you value most in a friend?

    What quality do you value most in a friend? What a question for a man who has had to see the true faces of his “friends”! I used to value mainly their intellectual capabilities and how fun it was to be around them in my early 20s 😌 There’s no one right quality to value the most in a person, a cocktail of qualities 😇 Let me give you some real examples to illustrate how humans can be different in the same situation; I had a father who I thought was a good person, but abandoned […]

  16. Part 2 – Life As A Peri Medical House Officer In Hospital Umum Sarawak | Main Building, Side Building, Infectious Disease Ward

    Related Posts:

    The Peri Medical House Officer Team takes care of:

    1. The Emergency Department
      • Green zone
      • Yellow zone
      • Yellow respiratory zone
      • Green-Yellow zone
      • Asthma Bay
      • Red Zone I
      • Red Zone II
      • Decon
      • CSSD
      • EDOU
    2. Main Building
    3. Side Building
    4. Infectious Disease Ward
    5. SDC (Surgical Daycare)

    In this article, I will be sharing my experiences as a Perimedical House Officer covering main building, side building, SDC as well as the Infectious Disease (ID) ward.

    As I previously mentioned in my previous article, the work begins from 7am till 6pm (short days), 7am till 10pm (long days) and 8am till 9am (night shifts).

    Covering this part of the hospital meant taking care of “stranded patients” which are medical patients who are lodging in other department wards as there are no space or beds available in the main medical wards. Usually, patients like these are somewhat stable enough to be left on their own without constant supervision. Those that do require, are usually left in the Emergency Department or transferred straight to medical wards.

    The Main Building

    Taking care of the Main Building meant that one would have to cover:

    On some days, there would not be any perimedical patients in certain wards. Thus, there are days that we do not have to go to these wards. On bad days, there are perimedical patients on every floor and the patient count will be extremely high.

    During my time serving in the main building, I was blessed enough to have a partner. Thus, despite the high volume of patients, it felt manageable.

    Upon my arrival, I usually begin from the highest floor and work my way down. Thus, I begin from the 7th floor by checking with the TL or Team Leader to identify new cases and update the list followed by tracing the blood investigations.

    This is to ensure that the patients are not missed during rounds.

    I proceed with doing this in the wards of every floor till I am done prior to beginning my morning reviews.

    Usually by then, the Medical Officers have arrived and are proceeding with their morning reviews.

    Sometimes, we join in and sometimes, we are asked to review the other patients and on our own until the specialist arrives.

    Upon the specialist’s arrival, we would all meet up at one place to begin out rounds.

    Rounds in perimedical is similar to that in the ward. The only difference is that rounds are once daily and the patients are all around the place.

    In between, there would be new transfer ins, attending to acute issues of which the nurses from other wards would call or inform the House Officers from other departments.

    After that, it is followed by preparation of the coming morning bloods. The wards and bed numbers are labelled on top of the forms and kept in the ETD for the night House Officers to take.

    The Side Building

    The Side Building is less hectic than main building and that meant we had to cover:

    As usual, upon my arrival, I would begin at the topmost floor and check for any new patients as well as to trace the bloods.

    After all of it is done, I begin my review in the ICU Extension 2 Ward. The ICU Extension 2 ward consists of unstable, intubated patients of various departments.

    Usually by the time I begin my morning review, the specialist would have just arrived and we begin our rounds.

    After the ICU Extension 2 is followed by Neurosurgical Ward since they are located at the same place, then Neurosurgical HDU.

    Upon completion of morning rounds is followed by carrying out the active joblists, discharges and requesting for radiological scans.

    Similar to Main Building, the coming morning bloods are prepped and kept at the Emergency Department for the night house officers to collect.

    SDC – Surgical Day Care

    SDC is the Surgical Day Care as per the name. Usually patients who are admitted here come in on the day of the procedure itself and is discharged in the evening.

    However, when the wards are fully occupied and the Emergency Department is overflowing with stranded patients, the SDC converts temporarily to host the stranded patients.

    At max, the patient load is only two cubicles full and the patients being admitted there are usually relatively stable.

    Similar to main building and side building, I begin my day with tracing the bloods, x-rays or any relevant radiologist reports before beginning my review and rounds with the medical officer and specialists.

    The Infectious Disease Ward

    The Infectious Disease Ward or “ID Ward” is located in a building separate from the main or side building.

    Previously, it used to be the House Officer’s Accommodation. However, it was subsequently converted into a ward.

    The ward consists of two floors with each floor containing 6 isolation rooms for each floor. Upon entering the ward itself, one has to change into the hospital scrubs and prior entering the ward isolation rooms, one has to don apron, shower cap and gloves, the standard PPE.

    The casenotes are not allowed to be brought in, thus all reviews are written outside.

    What do I do if I were stationed to at the Infectious Disease Ward?

    The house officer allocated to the ID ward are those from the Peri Pool, meaning our shift is from 7am till 6pm for short days.

    Thus, upon my arrival, I would change into the hospital scrubs. Then, I would proceed to trace the bloods. The bloods sent from the ID ward are usually late. Thus. It would either be pending in the system or yet to be in the system.

    Next, I will begin my reviews, first to the newly transferred in patients followed by the rest while awaiting the medical officer.

    There is a whiteboard consisting of the names of the patients in the isolation rooms. Usually in the morning prior to entering the isolation rooms, we would have a short round and presentation with the ID consultant with the whiteboard.

    Thus, during my time there, I would constantly update and personalise it according to my style which would be easier for me during my presentation with the ward consultant.

    After that, we will all proceed to the isolation room. As House Officers, we are the scribe and assistants of the medical officers. Since, we are not allowed to bring the casenotes into the isolation room, thus we will type everything inside our phone and transfer it onto paper after our grand rounds with the patients.

    Rounds at the Infectious Disease Ward is only once daily.

    After the completion of rounds, just like any ward is the completion of active joblist.

    Personally, I enjoyed my time in the Infectious Disease Ward a lot, mainly because I was given the autonomy to customise the board as I liked, present to the consultant myself and was asked multiple questions during rounds and having discussions which I find rather stimulating and enjoyable.

    On top of that, I even had time to return home for a quick lunch every time I was stationed at this ward.

    In the afternoon, some patients on high oxygen support may need arterial blood gases (ABGs) at certain time. If not, it is the preparation of coming morning bloods and transfer ins of any new patients.

    Being in charge of the other places is considerably less hectic than being allocated in the Yellow Zone which can get rather crazy at times as there is massive movement of patients constantly. It actually feels like as if I am at KL Sentral during peak hours.

    However, do not fear if you are allocated into the Peri Medical Pool. The workload can get extremely hectic and it can be rather messy. But, always try your best to learn as much as you can during your period serving there and to enjoy your journey.

  17. Daily writing prompt What quality do you value most in a friend? View all responses

    I’ve never really thought about this before.

    I’ve always had a hard time making friends, but when I do make a friend it’s a friend for life. At 53 years old, my two best friends (apart from my wife) are people I knew when we were in elementary school. Our friendships date back to the 1980’s if you can believe that.

    I suppose one quality I value is the ability to tolerate what a putz I can be at times. That’s important. A love of music helps, especially if it’s to the point of obsession.

    When I stop and really think it through though, the quality I value the most is a sick and twisted, sarcastic sense of humor. Being able to laugh at things goes a long way in my weird-o book.
