I am by no means bragging about being a resident because, really, seriously, it means nothing to anybody. We are still learning and searching and a lot of times, I feel helpless not knowing what to do as I look at the vast inadequacy in myself. A few days ago, I encountered two annoyed/frustrated patientsContinue reading “A day in the Life of an Ophthalmology trainee”

Bigpay review
I have signed up for bigpay a few years ago. I was probably lured by its RM10 new referral code and thought there was no harm signing up for it anyway. Since I was also quite a frequent flyer (Before MCO and covid) with airasia, signing up with them allows me to get free processingContinue reading “Bigpay review”
Applying for MO position in KKM as an overseas graduate
Similar to applying for a houseman position with KKM, those who returned from overseas (after serving houseman-ship) will go through the same procedure as our fellow local med graduates entering the workforce. Stepwise approach Apply through http://www.spa.gov.my –> Sistem SPA8i Tick tock tick tock……it took me a good 8 months before receiving an email notifyingContinue reading “Applying for MO position in KKM as an overseas graduate”
Applying for full registration with MMC
This seems to be a long overdue post since I have returned to Malaysia almost 4 years ago. Oh well, besides the insane amount of moolah one gets in the land down under, I am generally quite happy to be at where I am at now. Before returning to Malaysia There are many reasons (someContinue reading “Applying for full registration with MMC”
How to prepare for frcophth part 2 written
It has been a whirlwind year and I finally passed my part 2 written in my second attempt. Thank the Lord in all His goodness. The December 2021 paper was difficult and honestly I was tossing between the idea of moving back to Australia vs staying put in bolehland. Perhaps, I was rather half-hearted, no?Continue reading “How to prepare for frcophth part 2 written”
Health matters
Procrastination is the worst thing anyone can have. Unfortunately, I excel the art of it. A few days ago, a grandma brought her grandchild to our eye outpatient clinic. The young 19 yo boy had bilateral congenital cataract whereby cataract op was performed. He subsequently developed glaucoma and eventually caused blindness in his right eye.Continue reading “Health matters”
Covid-19 rotation in Malaysia
It was almost a month since I have decided to stop procrastinating and pen down my experiences as a medical officer seconded from my home department to covid wards. I had the time of my life. On a normal day shift, we will be taking turns to don in and doff out –taking bloods, performingContinue reading “Covid-19 rotation in Malaysia”
Life is indeed not a bed of roses.
It was my long awaited eye casualty room shift after a miserable ankle fracture (no thanks to jumping around and age catching up) for nearly 2 frigging months! I was egg-cited. Routine eye clinic only revolves around glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy screening –> laser PRP or next and it’s pretty mundane and un-exciting. So yeah, timeContinue reading “Life is indeed not a bed of roses.”
The refreshing bandwagon
They say a picture paints a thousand words. Ah well, not all the time. It only serves as a confusion to my vasopressin receptors and the battle between the frontal lobe and hypothalamus thus begins. To drink OR Not to drink?! I reckon the frontal lobe lost this round. (not surprising) Anyhow, this is aContinue reading “The refreshing bandwagon”
Bubble tea in JB
It would be an understatement to say that I am a fan of bubble tea. Those days of running to chatime/xianyuxian or even driving to sydney cbd for boba+chao da ji pai after swimming in unigym are still vivid memories that many of us International House kakis held onto till now 🙂 But I stoppedContinue reading “Bubble tea in JB”
