Upgrade efforts

Had re-read my previous post, remember about my laptop screen blinking.. and fast forward until now I hasn't  fixed it. Just sent my laptop to get it changed (the screen), the technician said my screen wasn't commonly used (like I thought every laptop has a different one so what do you mean by that) that they had to order it from original manufacturer or supplier kinda thing so it will take awhile. So I just paid the deposit so they can place an order, and took my laptop back so I can use it while waiting (in case, I don't really use it anyway lol). So three days after, they asked me to send it back... so they can do their thing. One two three and four days later, I was informed they couldn't get the stock in time, so now we have to wait until CNY which will be two weeks later... for the screen to arrive. Daheck. I took it back, so I can rant like this. 

I want to scold them so bad, but what else can they do. 
I hate waiting game. 

I actually listed my laptop for sale, lol. More than half the price when I bought it (my parents paid), I thought it is still pricey... but some actually interested in buying? Woaa. Guyss, if you decided to proceed to buy... if I still feel very baik hati, I will probably give you minus RM500 from current listing price, or probably more if they're student? Lol, my mom just said whatever. 

Have you seen the not really new release, the laptop... I kinda want a new one but lol this is all NAFSU. Kinda want to get a new laptop, not a necessity, my current one work just fine. But Air? M3? Same colour as midnight blue... For an upgrade? New year new me new laptop hehe.

My big younger brother bought me bookss last months, he just had his first out of country placement and will start being sent here and there for work. He just gave me his card and tell me to buy whatever while we (Lil bro, lil sis and me) walked around the store. There IS a full-sized restaurant inside the bookstore so yeaa I paid for the food lol. Idk how many books I bought, probably six or seven? Fact is; all still nicely wrapped. I will start reading later...  Wish bro enjoy his work (he did, he building a mini workshop in my parents unused store room) and had blessed time doing his work. Semoga banyak allowance and bonusses juga!


Ps I sent my request letter to the manager and director, so I am anxious, a bit.
Pss I paid for a pilates class, for 50 sessions? Glad I can share it with a guest (probably will be lil sis) but now I have to make serious effort to attend. Validity period of 12 months! Updates soon, wink.

24' reminders

 Blessed days coming, for us. Hello mi


Before I continue living the new year, I just want to jot down events of 2024 that I think I should keep in mind, for kesedaran diri purpose and somehow remind me of why I am here. I am here, to serve the people, while the pay is peanut (Increment 2025 please 10 percenttt or more, amin amin!), while the work is stress inducing (I had migraine attacks hm), but just a reminder, you're dealing with lives, you're dealing with QoL of someone's family. Semoga all of my steps, all of my words, all my actions diberkati dan diredhai. Amin


I should have asdfghjkl it down whenever I have something to, right after. Instead of thinking of it, the whole night. Now I can't remember any.


Anyway recently I had one bedridden patient, turned 100 years old this year. She had dementia, so just to introduce this aunty, SHE SHO CUTEE. I was working 12 hours night shift on the new years... I spent my time wishing all the patients happy new year and all kind of wishes.. and this aunty was alone, she was saying something like she wants to go down to socialize with her friends, (I guess the entertainment room at her nursing home was at ground floor? But now shes in the hospital lol). I did accompanied her for awhile and when the time for new year count down, I positioned her bed to face the window... and we watched the fireworks together... I don't really remember it, but I guess twas sparkling? This year they said the fireworks were at KL Tower instead of KLCC, so we can see most of it. And. Guess. What. Aunty keep asking me to find her specs, because she said she lost it, might have fall when we positioned the bed... so I don't really get to see it full (she doesn't have any specs, just denture, her sight was 2.0 10 minutes before). Anyway, aunty said the fireworks were colorful and everything. We sang happy birthday song together too lol. Happy 100th birthday, aunty.. Once done, I changed back the bed position and checked her vital signs, wounds and everything before I moved the bed... Just trying to talk to her before letting her to sleep, how was the fireworks, we should see it again next year.. Promised, pinky promised, linked. Not even 10 minutes after I checked on her, she was fumbling with her dentures, its time for breakfast (approximately 15 minutes after the midnight firework yes yes...) She forgot everything. What firework?



Anyway happy new year :) I just had an interview, legit the first ever interview for work/school (I was kinda recruited into my current position so I skipped the interview part before) I ever ever had in my life, like serious one. It was an interview for a kinda same position as my current one but in a different department and a different hospital (Hint: it's a largest quaternary level centre, as they claimed la). 


To be honest, I'm still contemplating. I want to study, is it because I don't want to work or I just want to..? It's like I'm forcing it on myself or.. How do you know yourself?
