View from the Back of a "Tuk-Tuk" Truck

Just a few photos that I have taken in Hat Yai, Thailand to spice up your weekend. If you look carefully at the picture above, the law states that the person who drives the motobike muct wear a helmet. One out of four ain't that bad eh??

Tuk-tuk trucks are the main transportation in Thailand. The trucks in Thailand have 4 wheels, while in Bangkok (just like the James Bond advertisement) have 3 wheels. The usually charge between 15-20 Baths (RM 1.50-RM 2.00) for a ride to your destination within Hat Yai.

Photos of food stalls in Hat Yai. The foods there are delicious and certainly very fresh. The manggo & glutinous rice pudding is simply "gorgeous". And the large prawns, unripe magoes, sweet pineapples, burnt coconuts, tom yam, etc...

Photos taken with Samsung Z400 (2 megapixels) from the inside of a tut-tuk during my first visit to Hat Yai.

Next time, I'll post more photos about my 2nd trip there, where I had some special guests who visited me in Perlis.

Methadone Program

The methadone prgram pharmacist so jimat. He will pour out every single bit of methadone possible from the container. Must be result of his mom spanking him for not finishing up his chili sauce when he was young! I heard Penang GH buying a machine worth RM 15000 to dispense methadone. When is my hospital gonna be so canggih...

Those who have finish their kursus, any tips for the upcoming Forensic Exam??

PS: Are we gonna celebrate Chee Yang's birthday???

Postcards from Kangar

It's been 2 weeks since I'm here in Kangar. Just wanna show some photos that I took with my Samsung Z400. The postcode here is 01000. How cool is that??!! Lol. And this is the post office. Reminds me of Kuala Terengganu this place. Chee Yang sure survive here very well.

Look, there's a mountain behing these shoplots. And it's in the middle of the city!!

PS: A very belated birthday wish to LOO YEE WEN!! Not only did she bring us the Sept 11 Attack in 2001. This year, she brought us the earthquake in Indonesia and maybe tsunami (!!). It only proves one thing... THIS GIRL ROCKS THE WORLD!!!! Happy Birthday Ewen!!

Found It!

Jasmine, I am well in Perlis. Just waiting for you to be posted here. (Lol!) I have found a house built on stilts, as we have planned. It's perfect as we can put our car below it and rear some chickens. Remember... we're gonna name our chickens "Philip and Doreen", to remind us of my ex-housemate and yours!! It's also a great place our 18 kids to grow up. The air is fresh and they can run around in the paddy fields in the evenings.. Hope you like this house!!

New Life, New Beginning

A fresh start as a PRP (provisionally registered pharmacist) in Kangar, Perlis.

Yesterday was my first day, and there were sooo many forms to fill in. We need to have 3 passport photos, a photocopy of the bank book and also photocopy of KWSP number. For those who are still waiting for posting, I would advise you to get these stuff ready, and even register at your nearest KWSP to save you from all that trouble.

Hospital Tuanku Fauziah is a small hospital, so it's not really busy except if you're assigned to dispensing. Yesterday I helped out at the dispensing desk and had to search for drugs all over the place, not being used to their colour system and also drug classifications. Today, I've been assigned to the TDM (Therapeutic drug Monitoring) Department for 1 month. This is where we screen for Gentamicin, Digoxin, and Theophyllin in the blood. Intersting stuff. Lolz. It's not really busy, and I'm supposed to record down 5 cases a week. Imagine that! That's one case a day!! It takes 15-20 minutes to do one sampling.

The hospital here do not have enough pharmacists, and I heard that all 7 PRPs from last year could not transfer back to their home-states. Well, lets see what happen next year. At least there's 1 grand senior from IMU, and she's quite helpful.

I'm staying with an old couple, and do not have internet connection. I do not foresee myself being online often, except when I'm based in TDM.

My friends, good luck in your posting.
