Cardiology, Serdang

Here I am, 3rd day after registering in JKN Selangor, then to Hospital Serdang, I'm post call today...in Cardiology...scary. They were short of people in this department, but I don't mind. After all, it's a place to learn. My Obgyn posting can wait. Besides, got time to explore

I kept 'apologizing' to my senior specialist that I have to disturb them during the call to confirm my plan.

For heaven sake...Cardiology!?! Thank God I went through Cardiology as a houseman in PPUM...but only 1 month!!! I now bow to my previous MO and Specialist in Cardiology. Can I cilok them with me? haha I want them back!

Friends, pray for me...

Current must do list!

My new mantra...

1. Monthly $$$ input into my ASB - make a mental note...deduct straight from salary. Must find out how once I register to my new hospital.

2. Must not take anymore money out of ASB!!! No matter how emergency it may seem

3. Aim for the stuff, save, then buy. No buy now, pay later (but I knew that...hehehe, I've always done that.)

4. Future plans - Unit trust funds!!! argh, when am I going to start? my baby is coming up in February. Hmm, must ask hubby to invest in Takaful Malaysia for Education plan + health rider. Yup yup, his responsibility <grin>.

5. Make a blog about my achievements and future goals. I lost my little notebook about my achievement so far. Maybe it's at Mama's house, all my books are there. Ni nak refer book for my ortho posting pun susah, sebab takde tempat dah kat rumah ni nak letak my stuff yang bertimbun tu. Sigh, oh well, just live with it.

I've finished with sewing for my baby. Most of the stuff I need right after newborn dah siap. Certain stuff I will only buy after delivery. So far, according to budget, I've spent RM700 for baby, RM300 below my initial budget. Yay! Me smart hueheuheueh. Thank God datang dari family besar. Big stuff like car seat, bassinet and cot sumer dapat dari elder sisters. Maternity blouse pun beli 2 je, coz my sis in law bagi yang lama. woohoo...well some ppl can say I'm a big saver, some people can say I'm stingy. Who cares.

Since dah habis hobby sewing barut and bedung and bibs (why do all start with a B?), I'm surfing on how to save more money for the future. My future and baby's future. Dah download banyak excel worksheet on retirement plan, personal budgeting.

See, if I want to retire by age of 45 (let say laa), that's 18 years more, and if I save about RM6000 a year in ASB(that's RM500 a month), by that 18 years, I already have RM200,000 in ASB. haaa! nice kan? Arwah Abah kata susah2 dahulu, senang2 kemudian.

Hmmm, macam mana nak handle money for building my house in next 2 years ek? kalau naik gaji pun, maybe naik RM 200 jek. Nasib baik government officer boleh dapat 4% interest jek. Hmmm, tak per tak per (self assurance kih kih kih), bila the time comes, I can make adjustments to payments to ASB and home loan.

Sometimes I wonder where my hubby comes into picture. Yeah...I wonder...

Sis dear, banyak nak fikirkan bila dah start ada baby ni... and 'where my hubby comes into picture'... that sounds familiar :) Still, we need to have goals.. somebody has too.. I also just started unit trust, so kalau nak nama agent, just let me know. I like her because she helps you a bit on your financial planning as well and keep updating so that you know what's your position 6 months from now, 1 year from now, etc.

Same with education insurance fund. Baru je got one for Ammar. Amin dah ada. Pakai Prudential (takaful plan). When it comes to financial matter, mmg memeningkan but focus on the long-term and usaha. InsyaAllah berjaya.

hmmm... bilalah nak jumpa ici ni...

Hmmm, weekend ahad ni ici ajak Rusydan balik rumah Mama. Sabtu dia ada sumthing. Jom jumpa jom!

Kawan ici pun kata Prudential takaful bagus. Well, Takaful malaysia pon okay jugak, but not as strong as Pru.

Yang Unit trust pulak, tengah tengok2 Public Ittikal. Dulu kek man pun mentioned it, but I need the money for the wedding. But now I think I can start :). I have a name of an agent, along with my frens.

Will see u soon :))))

It's a girl! A very active girl

Did my 2nd trimester scan yesterday. Still considering where I'm going to deliver. Well, bayangkanlah, due date somewhere in February. And guess what? My medical posting had just been released 2 days ago...I'm suppose to report to Pengarah Kesihatan Negeri Perlis...yup...PERLIS...nunnnnn di atas sana. I'm suppose to meet them before end of December. Haha, gelabah semua orang kat rumah ni.

But anyway, where ever I'm going, I have to go somewhere in December or January next year, and by that time dah almost 32 weeks. I still haven't book my hospital for delivery!!! Off course, like everybody else, I'm appealing for a closer placement for my MOship. Coz once I got the place, I'm going to stay there until I quit the government, or further my study for Master program, or until they hate my guts that they just want to throw me out. The earliest I can think of is 2 years. Since that's the new goverment policy. It's not 3 years anymore. So in the mean time, got to equip myself with an international certificate, at least passing part 1 of...erm..MRCOG (UK) maybe?

My MIL is trying her very best to get me to Negeri Sembilan or Melaka - closer to KL - she finally found out that posting in KL or Selangor is out of the question (she called her 'friend' somewhere up there in Putrajaya. Off course she didn't know that when she got me into UMMC when I started my housemanship. Well, now she's pulling her old wires. Me just wait and see...I'd rather like it that 'fate' has decided, but everyone else is very insistent.

I was just wondering why they didn't just send me to sabah and sarawak. Kind of fun isn't it? Totally new environment. Hmmm, but I just read MMR forum, and got really scary vibes. I'm not equiped to be a medical officer, but then I won't ever be equiped if I stay in UMMC as a house officer anyway. If I am placed in general hospital, it's different. There are senior officers and lecturers to consult. If I am placed in district hospital, the whole place is going to be run by me. Oh boy, even if Ici tak sarat mengandung pun, I don't know if I can handle it. Sigh! But bila lagi nak go through this thing kan?

Anyway, back to the scan...it's 98% sure that this baby is a girl. At first I thot it's going to be a boy. Lasak betul! 16 weeks dah rasa gerak sana sini, macam ada twins pulak. At 5 o'clock in the morning dah wake me up, regardless how many times I told her I need the rest. Hmm, from the scan, dagu for sure from me, and hidung pun mancung, kaki pun panjang. But we'll see again next month. Hubby haven't seen a live scan yet, so planning to bring him to one next month.

I'm filling up my time with my old hobby...sewing. At least hubby doesn't have to see me monyok almost everyday coz feeling bored. I've made baby barut for newborn and baby barut for above 5 months old (bila dah meniarap nanti). I'm going to buy a little bit more cotton fabrics for bedsheets and receiving blankets. This time it can be flowery coz dah almost sure it's a girl. But God is great, He just might give everyone a surprise.

Waiting for December sale!!! Bila nak start nih? Gonna buy baby stuff after this. Budget semua less than Rm2000, and that includes EVERYTHING including teeny weeny stuff like cotton balls. Thanx to my sisters who's willing to pass down baby stuff, like car seat, bassinet, the cot, and some maternity clothes. I still need to search for stroller, but that can wait much later.

Okay, need to get ready for work soon. My baby has already woken me up and I can't sleep anymore.

Hi Sis...
Haaaa.... Kena pergi Perlis??? Aisey.. biasalah, when it comes to family news, I'm always the last person to know kan..

Sekarang je yg duk kl ni pun jarang jumpa.. lagilah kalau dah pindah Perlis. But you know what, in a way it's a good thing jugak. Otherwise, how can you gain experience, ye tak. Cuma not the right time jelah. Ici pun dah sarat mengandung. Nanti kat sana, for sure kena hangkut bibik dari sini wokey.

Whatever you decide, janganlah lupa nak beritahu k.chal ni. boleh gi antar baby cot and car seat tu.

uwaaaa...tiba2 teringin sangat nak dok jauh jauh. tapi apa nak buat, dah hantar appeal letter. Pastuh dapat Selangor...hmmm (boringggg). Tak adventure langsung life ici nih.

Tapi takkan tak bersyukur pulak. I just hope it's for the best. I pray that it is for the best.

Heeee, ramai pulak kat sana, seronok pulak dengar.
