'm Back and Tired

Today, I went to Kg. Kapar for the MERCY project:Rohigya refugee medical relief. It was fun, but tiring (ayat skema sgt) I was in charge of the registration counter. It was totally an eye opener. I've been warned that I'd be attacked by the refugees before-hand, so I have sort-of-anticipated how the crowds would react. But, getting pushed against the wall, miscalculations of age and hap-hazard crowds throwing their cards at my face caught me off-guard!! Shitt-To!! all this while, during the sunathons and the free medical check-ups, I've been hearing how sometimes it's hard to operate in a registration station. Now I get it. It was Giillee! I think I twisted my tongue a couple of times during the hole hours I was there. Writing for almost 100 patients' name and UNHCR cards number wasn't a walk in the park either. It definitely tire me out. I had to call for back-up after 25 patients and another volunteer help us through after the 119th patient came (we had 154 patients registered and 3 undocumented treatment). it's a GOOD thing I sorted the old patients card thorough-fully before reaching the village. Phew...

I did make some new accountainces too. One of them wants me to participate in her public outreach projects for prostitutes, mak ayam and homosexuals (gile kenchang project die, takot aku..) through, my exams come first now. So I don't think I would be in the group. (takot jeh sebenarnye)

the journey to and fro was eventful too.

We were lepaking in the ESSO mobile mart (or so ever you call it) while waiting for the others to arrive (one of the docs were sesat). Meme, Nadiah, OA and me were looking at the stuff by the window. suddenly, an old man walk up to us and tried to hand us RM 50 -- nak isi minyak !! it was so funny!! we laugh like hell! there wasn't even a slit at the window panel to take the money. serius die ingat kitorng pekerje kat counter minyak tuh! ahahaahahahaha!!

Meme sat on something in Nadiah's car (we decide to call it kenching lembu) and had to tuck in his shirt, and he wrote "Ahmad" on his card. alah, chomel, ala-ala budak baik!! hahaha (matilah Dae kejar aku ngn parang lepas nie)

Nadiah's car rosak as in cannot ignite the engine after we finished the mission (cuak gile die) after we had some help from the apeks (jump-start jeh) of an automotor shop, we went straight back to cyber. Katelah silap ambek jalan! but then again we did accidentally took the ELITE highway which was way cool as we only have to pay RM5.50 for the toll instead of RM6++ for the original route. the only disadvantage was the whole damn road was soooooooooooo boring with nothing to look at except grass... huhu

something to bitch about

"
... I know it's just a co-curriculum with grades for you, but here at Mercy, we have responsibilities for our beneficiaries. (sickening intonation) Pls try to be more serious next time (pause) OK, moving on... "

Ok, first of all, let me say I have nothing against MERCY Malaysia. This is just something between me and one of the officials. here goes...

just where do you get those ridiculously gibberish ideas? Do you know how hard it has been for us? Hello, just because you have experience from all over the countries (entah berape negare la ko da pegi, bukannye aku kesah pon) you think that grant you the right to judge other people? I know it was a mistake from our side. We are very sorry for that, but it was A MISTAKE! ONE single mistake (which is a communication breakdown, something that occasionally occur in our everyday life) but why do you have to blame our university and our system? And WHAT THE HELL is that about us doing this for the sake of grades? If we were yes, we are different (crazy) from other medic students, yes we have a lot of activities compared to other medic students, BUT at the end of the day, we're still MEDIC STUDENTS!! We're not like other students! we LOADS to learn (mind you our Proffesional Exams are just around the corner) and revise. the PACKED public health (one more thing I can bitch about... later...) doesn't help either. We have exams almost every week! We have other commitments too! we even sacrifice a MAJORITY of our social life. EVEN in this kind of situations, we still make time to pack the meds (which, by the way, are sent quite last minute too) and the hygine kit. We did it out of concern, out of generosity, out of the simple knowledge that all the things we do would benefit someone. SO make sure you mind your godammed pie-hole when you want to pin us down. FOr GRADES? for POINTERS? just because Young Mercy is incorporated in our grading system, it doesn't mean we are just doing it half-heartedly.

FYI, the whole project is a co-curriculum . It's not even accounted for our grades! We're tired and it's not something very nice to hear. It took much effort for me not to retort to your prejudiced bitching or I would have take the house down bebeh.

HAMBEK ko! Marah la kalo dah buat kerje ikhlas, penat-penat, nak cakap buat kerje setakat nak dapat markah je'?? JE'? JEEE??!! ish, nak melenting lagik nie...
