  1. My New Year’s Eve – 2025

    Related Posts:

    31st December 2025. I was NOT oncall.

    It was a Wednesday and it was a normal working day. Hence, at 7:45am, I left to work as usual and was there by 8am. It was the New Year’s Eve. I thought that maybe, just maybe, there would be less patients in the clinic.

    The day started off smoothly. Surprisingly, there were many patients who came for their follow up followed by additional patients (the defaulters and walk-ins) but it was manageable. We went about our day, seeing each patient and when lunch time came, we went for our lunch break.

    At 2pm, we went about our work, seeing patients as usual and I was taking my time with each patient. The patient load in the afternoon shift was lower compared to the morning shift and both my colleagues were done with their patient load.

    Suddenly, a staff nurse barged into my room saying that there is a massive accident that just occurred nearby, 2 patients were already brought in and 2 more were on their way. They called in all available doctors (which were only the three of us) to help out.

    I told my colleagues to head out and help out first while I rushed through the consultation of my final patient. After that, I rushed to the tiny Emergency Room of the clinic. My colleague who was oncall on that day was already attending to a child. I went over to the other patient, an old lady and did my primary survey and fast scan.

    She was desaturating badly under room air and needed oxygen support. She had an open skull fracture, multiple abrasion and laceration wounds over her face, upper and lower limbs as well as rib fractures and on top of that, her left leg appears shortened and she has a closed fracture over her right lower limb.

    I didn’t think that we should proceed with an x-ray at our clinic even if we had the facility at that time, the best would be to send them straight away to the hospital because she could deteriorate further any time. Thankfully, her GCS (Glasgow Coma Scale) was full.

    I was focused on my patient, stabilising while referring her to the specialists of various specialities as well as the emergency physician that when I finally got ready to transfer her out that I noticed the child that my other colleague was attending to. The child’s right arm was crushed and the distal limb of his right arm was pale and his right lung was obvious till mid-chest.

    Just how in the world is he still awake? The poor child was crying out in pain…

    Judging by the state of his and my patient’s injuries, it was definitely high impact.

    The story was, the whole family were travelling back from Miri to Kuching. Both the parents were sitting in front and the father was driving whilst the two children and their grandmother were sitting at the back.

    The father claimed that he was not speeding but as he was about to make a u-turn at a junction, he claimed to have hit the curb and the car turned many times into the other lane before finally stopping and the grandmother and one of the child were thrown out of the car.

    It sounded like a very high impact collision. Thankfully, the parents and the other child were well and unscathed.

    We had to transfer both patients in two separate ambulances to the Red Zone of the Emergency Department at Hospital Bintulu as one ambulance could only transport one patient at a time.

    Upon arriving, I met my colleague and friend at the Red Zone of the hospital. After we have handed over to the medical officers and specialist in the Emergency Department, we headed back together. However, upon reaching back, there was another patient who came in who was extremely tachypnoiec.

    Oh, here we go again… Another Red Zone referral…

    We stabilised the patient and referred her to hospital again. The clock was already showing 10pm when we left. The journey to the hospital takes about 45 minutes to an hour for each journey and the both of us have yet to have our dinner. This time, I choose to accompany her for the referral, mainly for emotional support and also in hopes of stopping by McDonald’s to get a takeout.

    Yes, we did stop by McDonalds after sending the patient safely to the hospital and yes, we used the ambulance and went through drive-through.

    By the time we left, it was already 11pm. The journey takes around 45 minutes to an hour and it was raining heavily. At this point, I was wondering if we would end up celebrating New Year’s in the ambulance.

    Me and my friend ate in the ambulance on the way back while we joked and exchange oncall stories. Thankfully, we reached a little before midnight. The day was completely unexpected, not to mention tiring but it was nice to have spent it with a friend.

    It’s still the beginning of 2026, so if I’m not too late, Happy New Year!

    If you are travelling anytime soon or in the future, do drive safely, stay within speed limits especially if it is raining. Remember to get your car and tyres checked before any long distance journey and NEVER drive under the influence.

    Stay safe always!

Let’s show those who are forced to be in there that there are people who haven’t forgotten about them.

    In between The Hague and Rotterdam, there is a prison meant for people who the state deems unwelcome in this country. Join us! For a march around this horrible place.

  4. If anyone can help contribute to my friend Don getting his eye surgery funded, that sure would be nice. I know how hard it is to deal with health insurance to get the care needed, and Don's insurance has refused to fund his care, so can you help a fellow out?

    You have so many opportunities to make a difference, and here is one more:

    Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays?

    I am half-Filipino. My mother is from the Philippines and my father, a Malaysian, like me.

    Growing up, I was neither close to my mother’s or father’s side. However, between these two, I am somewhat culturally inclined towards my mother’s side through some of her simple heartwarming dishes that she cooked growing up as well as some of the Filipino songs she would play or the Tagalog words she would incorporate in her daily conversations.

    Two of the simple dish my mother would prepare would be pasta or bolognese spaghetti and Buko salad.

    1. Spaghetti

    Originally, spaghetti is a form of pasta and a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine.

    However, it also serves as one of the staple Filipino dishes.

    My mother would usually make a batch of bolognese spaghetti occasionally and on New Year’s Eve, as that is what my maternal grandmother used to do while she was growing up.

    It is rather simple and easy as well and she would go crazy with the cheddar cheese topping. Over the years, as she started to dwell into vegetarianism and eventually become one for a lifetime, she created her own variation of a vegetarian version.

    2. Buko Salad

    Adapted from https://www.kawalingpinoy.com/buko-salad/

    “Buko” salad is a form of Filipino fruit salad.

    “Buko” refers to a young coconut fruit and “Buko” salad consists of the young coconut itself.

    It is a simple dish which has many variations.

    My mother would usually mix with nata de coco of various colours, avoiding the colourless ones, corn, a huge can of mix fruits and other canned fruits before finally mixing it with evaporated milk, cheddar cheese and “buko”.

    She will the separate it into containers and freeze it and have it on New Year’s Eve.

    Growing up, my family would be seated at the dining table with other dishes prepared on New Year’s Eve for us to dine in together at midnight and every year, these two dishes remains a staple.

  6. Bidding 2023 goodbye with what I want to wake up to in 2024.

    Some dream of love, fame, or wealth. I dream of #roadtripping with my #cat, along with a kinder, more peaceful, and accepting world.

    Sleep well, my friends, and may you wake up to your dreams for the new year.

  8. As the final dawn of the year spreads its warm hues over the serene waters of Venice, we are reminded of this city's timeless beauty. A year of memories reflected in the calm canals, promising a new beginning with the rising sun. Farewell to the year gone by, and welcome new horizons.

  12. I play 12 of these word / math / geography puzzles each night after work...I usually finish them in an hour: Wordle, Worldle, Statele, Dordle, Quordle, Octordle, Octordle Sequence, Sedecordle, Nerdle, Heardle, Thirdle and MojiTiles.

    I'm trying to decide if I should continue playing some or all of them in the New Year...

  13. If, like me, you're staying in tonight (and I would rather do anything but be out among the crowds on NYE), I'd recommend putting on the live ceilidh on BBC Alba. It's two blissful hours of celtic folk and a perfect way to end the year, even if you don't understand Gaelic.
