A couple of days ago, there was a news about the local medical assistant graduates… they have poor command in English. This is a slight disadvantage to our local graduates compared to Indonesia and Philippines when working abroad like in Arab countries where medical assistant are highly needed.

I will agree that our education system is in a mess… its policies keep on changing which put our student in total confusion. The people in charge of the educations should stop being ‘arrogant’ and start putting English as a major subject. For instance, in the past few years there are quite a number of medical teaching course and medical management course offered by newly setup training colleges around the country.

Unfortunately, the recent report of the Arab countries preferences towards our nursing graduates is very serious. Their command in English put them at the very last compared to Indonesia and Philippines. The government must take immediate action to improve the English proficiency among our students, else our global competitiveness will go from bad to worse… in fact emerging country like Vietnam has overtaken us in many areas.

Hiring English language consultants from countries which English is their first languages to conduct teach the teacher course is one way to revamp our English education system and to increase the number of English teachers with high teaching quality. No doubt, today we have many English teachers, but ‘quality English’ teachers are very few. Probably we also need consultant interview course so that we can get good consultants… 😛

Gosh… this itchy is really killing man… woke up so early in the morning… 4.30 am… is this an early morning allergy?… morning cold allergy?… 😛

The more I scratch, the more it gets itchy… I just can’t stop scratching… the moment I start scratching, it become the center of pleasure… it so hard to stop scratching after that coz it feels so good till I feel like going to pee on my pants!!! Damm…

I really need something to stop all these itchy spots on my palms and soles.. probably something like the hemorrhoids relief cream… I really need something strong… something hot… well whatever strong… strong drugs… strong medicine… strong cream…strong oil… or whatever to make this go away… 😛 or if I can’t find anything to stop this, I might just soak my hands and foots into hot water… 😛

I got my medical test result today, Thursday, 18 March… but somehow it is not the result I expected or wanted.

The itchiness on my palms and soles are still giving me a hard time… so the blood and urine test results is very important to find out the reason. My appointment with Damai Specialist Hospital (DSH) was 3.30 pm… and I reach there just on time. Was about to register myself at the Counter 2 on 1st floor of DSH… but the nurse who just came out from the doctor’s room saw me and immediately ask me to go inside… and I saw a file on top of the doctor’s table with my name on it 😀

Doctor ask me to take my weight… went to the scale and it shows 90kg 🙁 did  I lost 5kg?… coz the last time I took my weight, it was like 95kg… 😛 or could it be caused by the gym visits?…

Anyway, the doctor went through my medical test result… emm… nice… nothing wrong with my kidney, no cancer, no hepatitis… no AIDS… no nothing…not even eczema or dermatitis… except for other stuffs which are not related to the itchiness…

I ask the doctor what is wrong then… he said, it could be just an allergy… then I told him it can be very itchy in the early morning… and guess what he told me to do… he ask me to wear glove!!! 😮

So, I went back with a batch more pills… for a week supply… without knowing what exactly wrong with my palms and soles… we’ll see how it goes after one week…
