Are You Sleepy???

Pitya e-mailed me an article bout “WHAT REALLY KILLED RANJAN DAS ( 42 ), FORMER CEO OF SAP INDIA?”. Apparently, from this article, this guy is very health conscious tp die died of heart attack. Why ya?? Article nie explain, perhaps because lack of sleep.

I am not going to dwell about Mr Ranjan Das but I’m gonna ask instead, are we getting enough sleep??

That same article mentioned about Epworth Sleepiness Scale. So, I googled it up, clicked the first result and tadaaa~ I got this!!

So friends, take this test and assess whether you are sleeping enough. Kalau tak cukup, tambah je la your sleeping hours itu. After all, tidur itu kan bess…

Introducing...CekKu dan CekPu

I think this is the first time I'm blogging about these two cuties. They are CekKu dan CekPu and video nie ialah aksi2 derang main yg super duper cute i like!! I've posted this at my Facebook page tp nak post je lagi!!!

They came over (and obviously stayed over) at my parents house. Mak die dulu pon masa kecik2 dtg makan free kt umah kitorg jugak, biler die dah beranak die bwk skali anak2 die dtg. Kadang2 husband die (or not) pon dtg curik2 makan free kt umah kitorg jugak tp husband die cam takut2 sket. Kitorg tak halau sbb kesian. And I think mak die sudah bunting lagi and ayah cam nak buang mak die and I was like kesian oke!!! Biar je la, die jaga anak2 die sendiri pon. Tp x tau la...they do make a mess and do need cleaning after if not looking after.

Vid nie was taken masa aildilfitri hari tu. Now, derang dah besar sket and makin pandai maen and makin makan byk and dah pakai loceng. Very adorable!!! Derang nie stok2 tak takut org, kalau nampak ader org lalu derang kejar. Ehe~

p/s: Nur panggil derang nie Crouch and Torres after football players tu. Tp aku confuse which one is which one so to me they are CekKu dan CekPu. :) ohh...and they are jantan, aku mule2 ingat betina...hahaha~

Orthopaedic

Wahhh~ almost a month tak write non sense. I’ve a lot to write about, movies i’ve watched, books, cita2 ku nak blaja men guitar. Tp start ngn my experience pg jumpe orthopaedic la.

Kalau dalam http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu, orthopaedic tu maknenye;

“the branch of medical science concerned with disorders or deformities of the spine and joints”

Dan ini ialah kali ke-3 aku jumpe orthopaedic nie. Chronology nye ialah seperti dibawah;

  1. Dr Pasupathy @ TTMC – nie mase aku nye blakang saket sangat. Dia amek X-Ray and mmg nampak tulang blakang aku kt lower back itu agak senget sket and himpit urat2. That’s why saket. Mase die jumpe aku die soh la angkat tangan, tunduk sket, pusing kiri & kanan. Camni la ceritenye kalau pg jumpe orthopaedic nie. Mmg die soh buat aksi2 akrobatik sket.
  2. Dr Chin @ Gleneagles – Saje mintak second opinion on my back. Doctor nie pon soh buat aksi2 acrobatik jugak. Die pon diagnose the same thing and advise the same thing. Anyway, skrang my back is way better thanks to the treatments, minimal high heels, good posture when lifting heavy stuff and sometimes avoiding lifting heavy stuff at all (by suruh orang lain angkatkan for me :))
  3. Dr Yong @ Prince Court – Jumpe dr nie sbb sakit tengkuk. Dah annoying sgt sbb aku tak bley duduk lame2 kat opis and kadang2 tu kna pg baring jap to relieve my neck. Die pon soh aku buat aksi akrobatik yg involve pergerakan tangan. Angkat naik atas, lawan tangan die la and macam2 lagi la. Rupenye2, die kate the problem is with my shoulder, bukan neck pon. Sbb ader urat kat shoulder blade aku nie macam sudah tak kuat and thus lazy to angkat my hand, maka neck muscles aku lah yg kna angkat tangan. Biler neck muscle nie kna buat xtra load, die pon saket la.

Just to be sure, Dr Yong nie pon soh la aku buat MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) sbb die kate nnti bley nampak la exactly kat mane yg ader masalah tu. Actually, kadang2 aku rase doktor nie ske je soh buat macam2 so hospital die untung banyak sket. Tp since insurance company that I am working with cover all these procedures and since aku pon tak penah buat MRI, oke aje. Dr Yong nie jugak set up appointment utk aku buat physiotherapy (nie kite citer ngn lebey lanjut dalam post yang lain la), which I expected,  as this was the case with my back pain too.

Inilah mesin MRI yg aku masuk tu. Agak scary jugak especially org yg phobia ngn small space. Sbb biler die masukkan kite dalam mesin nie, die akan naikkan katil tu sampai muke ko like 1 inch je dr bumbung mesin tu. Pastu mase die tgh scan, bunyi die woooooonnngggg, woooonnnnggg cam tu la. Giler bising. Supposedly ader radio, tp rosak la plak. Seb baik aku nak scan bahu je, so masuk sampei pinggang je la and then mase procedure tu aku layan zzzz. Standard la aku.

Aku jumpe Dr Yong nie on Friday (30 Oct 2009) and die set up my appointments for MRI on 2 November 2009 at 10.00 am. After the MRI, die nak jumpa aku balik to discuss the results on the same day at 11.00 am. And as die dah bajet aku mmg kna buat physiotherapy, die juga dah set up appointment for me on the same day at 2.30 pm. Wohh~ maka aku pon cuti ler hari isnin tu.

Before aku blah dari appointment aku ngn Dr Yong hari Jumaat, 30 Oct 2009 tu doctor tu kate as die akan jumpe aku lagi hari isnin, die x nak prescribe any medication for me yet except for painkiller if I want it. Actual script nye ialah seperti dibawah

Dr Yong: You nak some ubat tahan sakit tak?

Me: Doctor, I tak makan ubat tahan sakit. I tahan sakit (dlm tone yg macam hello! I dont do painkillers oke!)

Dr Yong pandang aku cam pelik and kate, “Okay then, see you monday”.

Ehehehehehe…

p/s: sincerely, aku tak tau la how much all these treatments cost. Sincerely, aku rase cam mahal je. Next time nak tanye la…
