Kepala Batas.
Hello ladies and gents.
I'm currently in Kepala Batas undergoing industrial training in the advance medical and dental institute. Haven't did any real training so far as they've decided that we should be introduced to the different labs before we start our attachment in the cytogenetic or microb lab for 3 weeks each.
Driving here was tiring, lucky for me, I convinced my parents not to tag along, otherwise it'll be another 1 hour round trip to Butterworth to send them off on the bus back to klang.
The first day of arrival was full of incidents itself, we arrived, gathered after the toll and headed off to the house we rented met the house owner and settled down. It's has 3 rooms, 1 attached bathroom to the master and another bath outside. Unfortunately one room was leaky and it wasn't in any condition to stay in, so we converted it into the stor, the 3 guys share a room and the other 2 girls took the smaller room. Neoh Hun decided to sleep in the living on the first night itself, so there's only 2 people sleeping in the master room.
After cleaning up Xue You came around from butterworth, he showed us the way to carrefour and got other stuffs that we weren't able to bring along with us. He also showed us around Butterworth, Megamall in Butterworth, Sunway Carnival and his home, a temple that was supposingly the prettiest temple in the westcoast. I'll post some pictures below and some place to have nice food in Butterworth.
Oh, forgot to mention that I did all the driving, following Xue You's car, and managed to find our way back home in spite of being new there. Fuyooohhhh.
Phew, that's only the first day of arrival.
On the first day of work, we found out that work only starts at 0810 and the office is less than 5 minutes drive from the house. So on the 2nd day of work, we went to work at 0800. HAHAHA.. so convinient.
On the first day of work we were introduced to the Histopathology lab after safety briefing and general introduction of Advance Medical & Dental Institute. Booooring.. we ended everything at 1000, and there was nothing else to do other than sitting around.
Day 2 was more interesting, we were introduced to the Hematology lab where we did some hands on preparing blood smear slides for FBP (Full Blood Picture) and view it under the microscope to analyze the different cells, and later we talked to one of the master students studying over there and he introduced to us a RT-PCR, something that we've not seen in UM and query him about future prospects.
Today is day 3, where we were attached to the Chemical Pathology, there wasn't much to learn here but to watch a machine operate, caliberate, wash itself and after 2 hours of caliberation operate on a sampel. In short, nothing much.
Staying here is not that bad, with the amount of crap spouting out of the mouth of Neoh Hun and everyone else around when they're bored is enough to make me laugh and forget about the time. Haha, another interesting to add is that we've found a shop faster than any conventional fast food, a chinese restaurant which is only 5 minutes drive away. My pork chop rice was out in less than 3 minutes the second time I went there, and it cost only RM4.50, rofl, and it's with extra big rice and the serving the more than what you can get in KL. So happy to find the place.
I'm posting this now in KFC, where free wireless is provided and where it's open for 24 hours. HAHA, and guess what, it's also 5 minutes drive away. ROFL. This weekend we'll be heading to the island. Hahaha.. all is good so far, except for the fact that I don't get to see my peas, sad :(
That's all for now, I'll end this with pictures I've taken in Kepala Batas so far.
