Im in my second week of OBGYN, and today is the most productive day ever :p. Today is the day that I got home having headache and bodyache for being so tired. Today is the day I really felt what internship/magang is.
Me n Z started our day with morning checkups, writing in the patients medical records and filling up our logbook ( Im at 23 of 50 today, alhamdulillah). Then at 09.30 we decided to go to the clinic as our shift is at the clinic today. We stopped by VK (verlos kamer)/Delivery Room, and we saw dr G SpOG who is in charge of clinics this week was there, so we waited for his instruction. Lucky us, hes having an SC (sectio ceasaria) and we get to observe/assist :)
We met A and R there, they were following dr A SpOG who is in charge of VK this week (replacing dr P SpOG who is away for some course in Bandung). Dr A is having few SCs so they get to observe and assist. Dr G didnt allow us to assist as this is our first operation in this hospital ( bummer) but we get to observe, and this time I tried to observe as best as I can so that itll be easier if I get to assist him next time. Ive assisted an SC before, at RSHS, but there were senior and junior residents there, so senior residents gave all the hecting to the junior resident, and I get to touch the uterus, dab on the bleeding parts and suck the blood ( I called myself tukang suction). After that we observe him do dilatation

R is so eager to bring his bike to Purwakarta, he asked many people but not many are willing to do so. So he asked me to contact my usual driver, Pak J.
Surprisingly Pak J is willing to do so, he can even do it tonight :) He just came by and took the bikes, and off he goes. Tomorrow, I can ride my baby bike instead of taking the 2 thousand angkot :))

Kuri Azuki Monaka
Me and Z went back to Bandung earlier this evening, by 2 trips of buses, which took us approximately 2.5 hours. We took the first bus, Primajasa Cikarang-Bandung (15 thousand rupiah)from across our hostel. Alhamdulillah, our location was pretty strategic.
1.5 hours later we reached the Leuwi Panjang terminal, then when took another bus, Damri Leuwi Panjang- Ledeng (3 thousand rupiah) and went down near our hostel in Bandung. Again, strategic location, Alhamdulillah.
I went to get the money my sister wired via Western Union and went to my dentist’s clinic as my retainer is too tight and hurt my gum. Thankfully she didn’t ask for any payment :)
We had sushi for dinner, at Sushi Tei. Alhamdulillah, good food for the soul. I am so thankful at the moment, semuanya dipermudahkan, Alhamdulillah.

We walked towards the right side of the road from the hospital today, heading towards the town. It was a hot hot sunny day, by the time we reached the 2nd junction, I felt so sticky with my sweat. And we haven’t reached the town just yet.
One day, I’m planning to visit the town, one fine day.

My friend Z came to my room earlier as she was on her way to perform her absolution, she decided to stop by my room (being my room is the one beside the toilet). When she knocked, I noticed that the keys aren’t at the keyhole and it’s unlocked, so I took the keys on the desk and put them somewhere near me.
We ended up chatting, looking for the correct way to sleep in Islam, browsing through DVDs I have blablabla on the carpet. When she decided to go, I saw the keys on my praying mat, so I took it. And she said, that’s hers. Really? I tried them on my door. Shoot!. It’s definitely hers, so where’s my keys?
I asked her to go first, perform her prayer as I looked everywhere in my room, I can’t find my keys. Inside every pockets, inside my bag, under the pillow, the blanket, on the desk, even places I’m sure they won’t be there.
Then Z came again to help me look for the keys. Less than a minute, she found it. It was under my phone. Pfftt. Of all places, I lifted up my laptop, my DVD player but not my phone.
I think keys hated me, they always do.

2nd Stop: OBGYN in Purwakarta
I’m in my friend, A’s car, heading to Purwakarta to prep up for our 1 months of OBGYN rotation there. Her hubby is driving while she’s holding hands with her baby daughter who’s sound asleep. It’s hard for her leave her baby, thankfully she’s a little bigger now, nearly 2 years. Yes I know 2 years isn’t a baby but she loves calling her little baby :)
Anyway, I’m looking forward to start afresh in a new place, learn something new about the culture, the food, the people aside from medicine again and again. To do that, I got to open up myself, willing to learn and ask along the way. Shy person like moi (ehem :p) really finds it hard to do that, so it’s another challenge for me.
Well, my battery’s running low, got to save them up for emergencies.
Toodles :)

I’m in the bus at moment, the old 5-seats bus that I’ve found only in Indonesia, heading to Purwakarta. I just finished 1 month of Public Health at Puskesmas Margaasih, so me and my groupmates are heading to Purwakarta to report in and look for a house or hostel rooms we could rent our 2 months there.
We will be intern-ing at Rumah Sakit Bayu Asih for Obstetric & Gynaecology and Peadiatrics. I heard consultants are nice towards us interns, I hope they really are.
Actually, I’m psyched to start my clinical rotation (Public Health is sooo not clinical!). Hopefully I will get to learn more, get more skills of course.
I’m unwell at the moment, sore throat, allergic rhinitis and subfebrile fever, the annoying combo. Droplets are dripping from my nose as I’m typing haha gross I know.
We just exited the highway. Will write more soon :)

I spent the weekend at Jatinangor this week. Rode to Jatinangor after much rest from Saturday’s Puskesmas session, and got back this evening, exactly 24 hours.
Initially I had to go there to ,eet my tailor to alter the kurungs and drop off more kurungs, but since H and her groupmates, including her hubby-to-be, N are staying there for a month, she invites me to spend the weekend there. I’m glad she did, cause it was wonderful times :)
It has been a while since I had such getaway with good companies. Yes, Jatinangor is considered as getaway at the moment. We had delicious Malaysian food for dinner at Azcha, spent the night watching movies and KPOP concert together ( lol I would never have imagined that) and had pillow talk session at night. We slept through and woke up to an unexpectantly scrumptious roti canai and teh tarik at Kedai MD which wasn’t there when I was in Jatinangor.and it was cheap. After that we head off to Jatos as I craved for cireng, and we spents hours there eating, gossiping and playing monopoly. We took some photos using my new Instax ( yeay!). Then I didn’t realize it was nearly the time to head back to Bandung.
Time flies when you’re with a good company. I guess I miss being around people I love too much that I tend to treasure the moments. I hope I will have more time to spend with all my loved ones, all my friends before we graduate and move towards our own path. Most importantly I wish our friendship will last forever, insya Allah.
