Reflection

So I sacrificed a weekend in Pediatric posting and went for HFM (Health For Malaysia) 7 in KulaiJaya, Johor. It's definitely stressful, plus the long journey and tiredness. Nevertheless, everything is worth it when people just came forward and say thank you for coming from so far and give you a pat on the back.
Just feeling puzzled that some of us are still, not showing a little bit of professionalism for a doctor-to-be. Punctuality especially, is totally disregarded. Nobody is trying to change the fact that Malaysians are always late. But as future doctors, aren't we suppose to be on time? Just hope that someone will get this instead of procrastinating and waiting for each other to be late.

While on the way back to hukm, the bus stopped at RnR Ayer Keroh and I went down to move my limbs. So I sat on the chair and out of a sudden I heard a loud sigh and someone was sititng opposite me. It's an Indian Janitor, who looked so tired but still smiling, and said,

 "amoi I duduk kejap boleh..penat nih.."

She immediately reminds me of my mom, and my heart winced.

"boleh, boleh, duduk duduk"

So we started talking and she said,

"kadang kadang I tanya orang, dia tak nak cakap dengan I ni.. I kerja sapu sapu aje..bukan menipu atau mencuri pun....

And I felt sorry for her. Everyone is equal. Never look down on someone even a janitor because you can learn so much from them. You'll never know what will you gain by just greeting them, or just give them a smile.

After chatting for a while and she found out that I am a medical student, her face lighten up and she looked at me with pride. I ain't saint, which makes me feel awkward for being look up like this.

"Belajar baik baik..jadi doktor bagus ni...bagus...Selamat jalan ye dik"

Thank you for your kind words. That's definitely a booster to keep me moving.
