My First Blog Ever!

oooh oooh i am so excited! You know, all this while my friends have been wondering where I am, what I have been up to. Aza and Dina slalu anok aku tok buang batu, mala nak berkepit dengan laki lah, hehe, but the truth is, I am a busy nurse, and I work long hours; the minute I get home, the only things I think about is SHOWER (sumtimes ya pun malas), MAKAN, and then TIDO... now you guys can stop wondering apahalll Nina kinek tok berisik. Coz for the last 2 years as a fully trained nurse, nya idup macam ULAR SAWA.... hahaha.... I do drop a kg or two once I'm on break, tapi yalah, bila dah balit kerja, I start gaining the pounds again. Sometimes sik tahan. Nak exercise, either no time or no energy left; makan diet pill sik berkesan; I tried once last year this really effecient weight loss meds the orthopaedic surgeons in Normah prescribed for their obese patients to lose weight (so that they don't damage their new knee replacements) - it costs RM300++ for a pill-a-day x 1 month. [PS: I sik maok promote nama nya sitok coz I dont work for the company]. Lots of nurses dah try and I saw very drastic and amazing results. However, they warned me, side effects banyak, nausea, palpitations, hot flushes, short tempers, excessive sweating. So Amy (another nurse) and I coba lah beli half-half (2 weeks per person, nak cut cost tek lah). She was sweating like a pig and had to take her pills on alternate days, ya pun 5 hari jak then she passed them over to an overweight uncle because she cannot tahan the side effects.

ME? -grin-
First 2 days of eating the pill: hmmm.... cam sekda papa jak.... ok good, no side effects....

Day 3- Day4: adalah hilang selera sikit.... sikmaok makan gilak... no extreme side effects still....

Day 5- Day 10: Mummy masak beef stew after work...makan. Mummy masak laksa on Sunday....bedal. Orang ICU request masak spaghetti on night duty...join. Dr Wan
sponsor makan pizza one afternoon...bantey... Okay... no side effects... macam
reverse effects jak tok...

Day 11- Day 14: Finished the pills (because they cost a lot!), but didn't have faith in them anymore.
I'm not saying those pills are not effective, they are, it's just that they are not effective on ME! I guess God must have wanted me to slim down the natural way; less JUNK FOOD, less COCA-COLA and more EXERCISE.

My wardrobe began to shrink in the 2 years I was working and I seriously had to get new sizes. 2 years ago I can fit into S sizes and M sizes, and I was a size 8. Now I'm up to 2 sizes, my waistline goes up from 26 to 30 (!!!) and I can squeeze into M sizes during Ramadhan but I'm more comfortable with L sized blouses. Lucky I took a shopping trip with my folks to KL, JB and Singapore.

Singapore was GREAT! I mean, the shopping experience was HEAVENLY. Daddy was so concerned with expenses, Mum kept telling him (everytime SHE wants to buy something) "DON'T CONVERT". Hahahaha.

Vacation was fun (Mum wants to plan a shopping trip to Vietnam next year!), but I am now back to work, and thankfully, come Christmas time, ICU only had 3 patients. So Christmas eve, they managed to give me an off day so that I can spend my Christmas dinner with family. We had a neighbour from Miri who had brain surgery and is still admitted in Normah. Her children were not around, so Mum decided to organize dinner with her at the hospital. The nurses were very helpful in looking for chairs and extra tables for us (yalah tek nasib bah nina kerja d normah, mun sik makan atas lantey...) HUDINI! Look at what we had for dinner!


Beehoon goreng, Nasi goreng, Mashed potatoes (home made siap dengan mushroom sauce), roasted chicken, beef steak with choice of black pepper sauce and cranberry sauce, fruit salad, chicken soup and garlic bread and for dessert CREME CARAMEL, nana's favorite. Mrs Szetu was very happy she got to spend Christmas after all, here's our group picture in the tiny hospital room...

That night was a blast and even the nurses of MULU ward and ICU kenyang coz we had lots of leftovers. I had to work a double shift (7am to 9pm) on Xmas day but I didn't mind because Dr Wan (again) sponsor makan laksa, mi jawa, nasi lemak n satay that morning. Later that morning, my patient's daughter gave us half a round of choc cheese cake n half a round of mango cake bought from Secret Recipe. Then, one of the new nurse interns came over and brought chicken rendang, chicken satay and lemang with drinks. There were 4 of us on double shift that day. Kerja terkunyap-kunyap... hahahaha nasib bait public holiday boss suma sekda, CEO came to see his patient pun sik kesah, janji kerja dipolah betol. Plus, it didn't hurt to have an extra rm88 in my payslip for doing the extra shift. -grin-

Cukuplah I cram everything recent in my FIRST EVER! blog. Nanti you guys kena information overload. Haha. Kerja lah this afternoon, but mum cooked laksa this morning, so I'm going to work with my tummy happy. No wonderlaaa Nina berisik... makan jak jak. Nasib baitlah my hubby understanding - sik kesah I tok gemok, janji ati bait. Hahaha best, tok suroh I makan lagik n lagik...... Ciao!
