1997

when i was about to begin primary school

my parents' were actually planning to send me to SRJK(C) Chung Hwa

in which i violently disagree and when to SKKP instead

and now

13 years later

2010

i'm quite mad at myself because i objected my parents' idea

if only i had attended Chung Hwa last 13 years

i'm supposedly able to speak in Mandarin these days

and can interact far better with people

*sigh*

it was the home visit i went today that open my eyes

first thing first

there are 4 people in my group

Ryan

Wei Ming

Mei Sung

&

ME

it is very challenging when you have to work with people that speaks different language than you do

and it is far more challenging when the person you are about to know and build rapport with and examine speaks the language you don't understand too

my patient is a Chinese woman

who cant speak Malay very well

i feel sad and frustrated because there's nothing much i can do during the home visit

thank God the maid is an Indonesian

and she took care of everything about our patient

so i manage to at least gather up on very aspect of my patient's daily life

her diet

her sleeping habit

her daily activities

who's taking care of her

and etc

so most of the social history was filled up by me

*where there's a will, there's always a way*

later the 4 of us went to McDonalds

and we gather up every information that we have

translate them into English

put all of them in the correct order

and eat

and i at last know what is wrong with my patient

*sigh*

if only i follow my parent's idea 13 years ago

and can speak Mandarin today

life wouldn't be so difficult

*more sigh*

and to my groupmates

thanks for being so tolerant and understanding

and translate every single word for me

i really appreciate all of you =D

till then

xoxo
