Why People So Kepoh One?

Few years ago, I left Medicine and pursued my interest and passion in Nutrition. After my Nutrition studies, I then started working in the preventive line. 

Facing customers who wants to improve their lives.

And if you have worked in the front line/customer service/retail before, you will know that people can be very rude, nasty, unreasonable and completely crazy.

So nak dijadikan cerita, masa tu iols baru je lah lagi start kerja. Masih bodoh naif-naif gitu kan. Sesuci embun pagi.

Satu hari tu, masuklah seorang uncle ni dengan isteri dan anak perempuannya yang berusia mungkin dalam 20an.

Kebetulan masa tu giliran supervisor weols yang attend so CPPS berdirilah tidak jauh daripada diorang tu, observe macam mana supervisor weols attend customer ni kan.

Borak punya borak, kedua suami isteri ni pernah bekerja di universiti tempat iols ambik degree dulu dan si pakcik ni pulak merupakan bekas pensyarah di salah sebuah fakulti di UM.

So supervisor weols ni pun, nak buat small talk la kan dan cakap kat pakcik puaka tu iols pun graduated dari UM in Medicine.

"Then why are you not practicing Medicine?"

AHHhhhh sudaahhhhhh.

Sebab iols naif dan baik hati, iols pun explain kenapa iols memilih untuk tidak terus berkhidmat dalam dunia perubatan.

For me, I can't continue to force myself to do something that I don't like for the rest of my life. Can you imagine, dreading to go to work everyday for the next what 30 years?

And it's not fair for the patients to have a doctor who doesn't have the heart and passion to treat them. 

Uols tau apa pakcik puaka tu cakap kat i?

"You are wasting tax payers money! Do you know how many people wants to be in your position? Go back and finish your housemanship! It's not for my sake, or your sake, do it for the tax payers money sake."

Iols macam speechless dan masih lagi cuba untuk justify myself.

As I'm the one who had to live with my decisions, am I not entitled to make my own life decisions?


I should have stop explaining myself and just walk out of the place because no matter how hard I try to explain, this kind of people can only understand from their level of perception.

This pakcik puaka is by far the rudest among all who questioned and couldn't understand my decision to leave Medicine.

The milder ones would say something like "Why? Sayangnya tinggal macam tu. Rugilah belajar 5 tahun."

"Bagilah title Dr. you tu kat I. I nak jadi doktor tapi result tak cukup bagus."

Erk so? Tu masalah I ke? ahahahha.

By the way, I'm always quite reluctant to let people know this "leaving medicine" story because of these unwelcomed, unsolicited opinion or remarks. Because people would NEVER UNDERSTAND!

Anyway, I will never forget my friend, Bibik's help in printing my resignation letter 9 years ago. Thank you Bik i love you, i know you are reading this. hehehe. 

So speaking of Bibik, there is another story she told us about people who are so kepoh, who cannot accept others or at least try to understand that there are different opinions or belief in this world.

Bibik's brother has a friend, let's name him Mike who studied Law. Mike at that time was doing CLP.

In legal practice, The Certificate in Legal Practice (CLP) is a 9-month long post-graduate course and examination taken to be a qualified lawyer in Malaysia.

Iols tau pun sebab baru google la kan. Hahahaha.

Masa buat CLP ni, kelas dia bukan hari-hari so Mike ada banyak masa lapang. Dia pun apply la kerja part time kat sebuah rangkaian restoran ayam yang agak terkenal la jugak, di sebuah shopping mall yang terkenal.

Interview dah lepas dan injection typhoid pun dah buat, so Mike ni pun datanglah lapor diri untuk bekerja.

Sampai di tempat kerja, dia diminta untuk berjumpa manager outlet tersebut, seorang gadis muda, yang ditugaskan untuk buat orientasi dan bagi jadual kerja kat Mike. 

Si manager ni pun mulalah sesi suai kenal, soal jawab dengan Mike. Mula-mula tu okay je, kemudian perbualan sampai pulak ke topik yang lebih peribadi dan benda yang tidak berkaitan, seperti agama.

Ahhhh sudahhhhhhh

Kemudian Mike pun bagitau yang dia adalah Kristian Katolik dan si manager ni mula bertanya

"Kenapa you Katolik?"

Dan kemudian bermulalah serangan peribadi dia ke atas kepercayaan agama Mike.

Just like me, Mike tried to explain that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, their own religious beliefs but she kept going on and on.

Melihatkan kepada perbualan yang semakin tidak relevan, Mike cuba untuk menukar topik perbualan tetapi si manager puaka ni mungkin berasa triggered dan bertanggungjawab untuk berdakwah, maka dia tak berenti bercakap

Up until a point where she says that "The religion is bad"

That was when Mike realized he couldn't work under a person who is so discriminating.

So he said "Ok, if that's the case, I can't work here." collected his bag and left.

Beberapa hari kemudian, Mike pun berjumpa dengan bos manager tersebut dan menceritakan segala apa yang berlaku. Dia juga membuat aduan kepada pihak atasan restoran tersebut.

Haiiii cik kak manager silap orang la. Kalau dengan budak hingusan SPM boleh lah uols buat macam tu. 

Ni bakal Lawyer yang uols carik pasal.

Before you get me wrong, this story is not about which religion is better. The whole point of this entry is

WHY PEOPLE SO KEPOH? 

Why can't people let others live with their decision, their religion or belief?

Can't people just mind their own business? and not force their opinion or beliefs on others?

Or at least try to accept that there are others who might think, believe or practice something which is entirely different from you.

Yihh jijik! Jangan nak bawang sangat boleh? Biarlah orang happy kan. Samalah seperti makcik bawang yang sebok je tanya

"Bila nak kawen?"

"Eee kenapa dah gemok?"

"Lama dah kawen, bila nak tambah sorang lagi?"

Yihhhhh pegi terjun lombong semuanya!

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu.

Manusia Dua Alam

  Pernah jumpa tak manusia yang indah khabar dari rupa? Ataupun manusia yang dalam sosial media adalah seseorang yang sangat menarik hidupnya, melancong sana sini, kelihatan peramah dengan cerita-cerita pasal orang sekeliling dia tapi dalam kehidupan sebenar, agak sendu dan krik krik? Pernah kan? Inilah manusia dua alam dimana alam maya dan alam realiti dia berbeza umpama langit dan bumi. Ada seorang manusia ni, kita namakan dia XX (bukan nama sebenar). XX ni sering update cerita panjang lebar dalam sosial media dia. Satu gambar dia upload selalu disertakan dengan karangan 2 mukasurat.  Ada sekali dia upload gambar makanan yang diberikan rakan sekerja dia. Mulalah karangan 2 muka surat dia menceritakan mak si anu masak makanan lebih sikit untuk dia, si polan pun bagi makanan. Betapa murahnya rezeki dia dan bertuah dikelilingi kawan-kawan yang baik dan thoughtful. Wahhh kemain. Tapi dalam alam realiti, dia manusia berperangai pelik dan tidak boleh difahami. K...

Inferno Panic

Last night, Joel, Anne and i was chatting in the house when we smell something burning. We looked everywhere for the source of the smell until i saw smoke coming out of the main switchboard.  First it was only smoke, then little flame. Before long, the fire got bigger! Smoke fill the house and it smell of burning plastic and rubber. We panic and run out of the house. Knocked on neighbour's door to ask if they have fire extinguisher while Anne and I trying to think who to call for help. We wanted to call bomba but didn't know the number! In that moment of panic, we forgot that it's 999. So we call friends asking for bomba's number. Anne called her friend and the first thing her friend said "Anne! Save your laptop and your thesis!"  Only post-grad students understand this. Thesis and our research is more valuable than your IC or money or thousand dollar phone because only we know how difficult, how important our thesis is. Its a lifetime effort and hard...

Amazing Swimming Pools

I am a Pisces and "pisces" in Latin means fish. Pisces love to swim. So that explains my strong affinity for water. Just like a fish, i find water to be calming and soothing. Recently i've began to swim regularly after so long. Not only it is a good exercise, it releases stress and is extremely calming. I've read somewhere that water is a good medium to buffer and absorb all your negative energy and emotions. Two in one eh? I've developed obsession over swimming pools recently. Why i always seems to have obsession lately is beyond me. The nicest pool i've been to so far was this pool with an amazing view of Petronas Twin Tower. Perfect for a night swim as it was quiet and the pool is heated. Macam infinity pool tapi tidak juga.   Infinity pools are the nicest! Jom cuci mata sambil berangan ada pool macam ni... Ooh that's super nice. Perfect for a night swim. This is a pool in Bali. So calming. Next trip perhaps? ...
