MY PRE-HO LIFE 
PART I : WORKING

In short, routes of medical-related jobs for a medical graduate while waiting for housmanship placement are:-

• Medical / Clinical Assistant
• Research Assistant

After finishing last day of my professional examination (ProX), I spend first 2-3 months on moving all my stuffs from my condo at KL back to my hometown ,Kajang. Not to mention some other entertainments, such as go for karaoke with friends, night hangout at mamak with our favourite 'Teh Beng', go for travel (Fraser Hills and the failed Australia trip due to VISA) and attending friend's wedding at Melaka (The Great Jonah Myra). Around November, my convocation came (Stay tune on my IG). After all, I have decided to look for some job since I have another 6 months waiting time before my job came. Among all the jobs I interviewed, full with bitter taste of rejected interview, sorts of unique experience, DUH. Fortunately, one of them accepted me, sorts of chill style of interview, via phone call, LOL. Although it is just 2 weeks work and it can be considered as extremely far (Kajang to Selayang, not to mention traffic jam), but I am like, hey, why not give a try, just take it as trial mode for housemanship! Even my boss and colleague also commented on that, sort of  transient short circuit in my brain, I guess.

In such a short period of time, I reached home 9 p.m and slept 10 p.m,wake up on 5.30 a.m, never being so punctual since SPM. Every morning I reached UiTM campus, Selayang around 7 am, quickly go for breakfast at opposite mamak so that I can start work around 7.45 a.m and set up the device before specialist start their works (This study take place at Selayang and Sg.Buloh branch of UiTM Campus...And I choose Selayang, sort of regretful choice due to workload). Around 8 a.m, clinic start operating officially. My colleague, Aiman and I start recruiting patients by explaining to them about our study and try to get consented as much as we can, before they enter consultaiton room.

Occasionally we have to help our boss in 'qualitative interview' , where we have to (in turn) take note when our boss interviewing specialist regarding the study using voice recorder and after the interview is over,  our job is transfer it and re-write it into document version. Frequently this is conducted during lunch time...

OH... MY STOMACH

I CAN TELL YOU THIS TASK IS NOT EASY 
(At least 2 hours for 1 interview)

Patients recruitment finished when clinic close around 5 p.m, but our job not done yet! Often we need to stay back to finish up our data entry with Excel spreadsheet and save up the data into recovery drive, not to mention we have to ensure all the documents are completed, including our signature on consent form and labels, which make us leave the clinic around 7 pm.
SUCH EXHAUSTED.

Eventually... reach home at 9 p.m, barely no entertainment, simply because energy determine our motivation drive.
