Cameron Highlands Trip

It was a last minute decision to take leave on Merdeka Day(31st August) after I was told that I still have 2 more public holidays to take.Thinking to relax at home and do some shopping. Anyhow, I followed Sophia and her sisters headed up to Cameron Highlands for a day trip since I've not been outing for "so so long"(longing for long holiday really).This is my second trip to Cameron Highlands. The journey took up about 2 1/2 hours.We left home around 715 in the morning. The hills road was extremely long and winding. I had motion sickness but was okay after that. We passed by few small towns, Ringlet, Tanah Rata and Brinchang.Unfortunately the weather was bad on that day, raining on and off. The temperature was just nice..it's a comfort zone for me. However, we managed to go to strawberry farm, butterfly garden, Boh Tea Plantation, vegetables and fruits market as well as cactus valley. The vegetables are dirt cheap and fresh. I bought like 13 packs of different fruits and vegetables for only RM10 and some sweet potatoes too. Beside that I bought a huge and long white carrot for only RM2!!! Tried some passion fruits and strawberries that we plucked from the strawberry farm. Cameron apple tastes sucks though its really juicy. Boh Tea plantation is awesome. The tea trees are greenish and beautiful.In cactus valley, I saw various type of weird and funky cactus. Although the journey was a bit harsh on the hill road, I enjoyed the most out of it.

This is about half a kilo of strawberries we had plucked from the strawberry farm.Red and juicy!

We went to Say Chin's wedding in Taiping yesterday(27th August,Sunday).The journey from KL to Taiping took us 3 hours. We attended the wedding ceremony in bridegroom's house. It was sweet and simple. I like that..hehehe...guess what, it was the first time I saw a roasted pig. Sua gu right?Too bad I didnt get to snap a photo of that pig coz it's not so nice to take in front of so many ppl.hehehe..if you get what I meant. It was great to see all my ex-coursemate that attended the wedding. I guess that's the only way to have reunion. So more wedding bells coming up??!!hehhehe..who's next??

Cha-am, Thailand

After a long pondering I decided to go for Continuing Education(CE) again in Thailand end of last month.This time the topic was pretty interesting. It was Veterinary Emergency Practice. I am really sucks in emergency practice though I've been doing emergency oncall all these while.Thus, decided to take this opportunity to brush up my emergency medicine.

The CE was held at Cha-am,south of Thailand. It took approximately 4 hours to reach Cha-am by bus from Bangkok. Cha-am is known as longest while sand beach in Thailand. We were placed in a nice and probably I guess 4 stars hotel(Novotel Tipviman Resort & Spa) in Cha-ma. I personally learnt quite a lot of things from the CE. Such as corticosteroids is not useful or doesnt help in shock therapy(something new to me), and knowlegde of using types of fluids in fluids therapy and a lot more that I've learnt. And again the schedule for the CE were really packed.The sad thing was that I didnt get the chance to walk along the beach shore!!! how can this happened to me??!!

Taken at Chulanlongkorn University Small Animal Hospital,Bangkok before we departed to Cha-am.

Huge waiting area for pets in the small animal hospital before being attended to any of the vets.

Finally we got to meet up together as four last friday at an Indian restaurant in Sunway. It was still vivid in my mind that the time we were together as four was 6 years ago. That was during high school. It was great to meet up with them again. Friendship forever!

Clinic has been kinda quiet lately. It could be probably due to World Cup Season. Everyone stays at home watching the football matches and forget about their pets :) . Not many hospitalization cases as such. A couples of parvovirus cases though. I still remember that last year around this time there were lots of parvovirus cases as well. It makes me think that does parvovirus comes with season? Anyway, please do bring your 2 months old puppy for vaccination if you have one. Parvovirus is deadly disease. Last Sunday again I saw an obese Pinscher walked into our clinic. This dog has been feeding with all kind of food that you can name it. All I can remember that one of the food is satay. LOL....

These all some of the photos and I have taken.

She's about 25kg.


You can appreciate more on this photo I supposed.Took from the back of the dog.

I was freaked out when I saw the photos in this website http://kjfauto.multiply.com/photos/photo/152/1. It was a terrifying road accidents that happened on the North South Highway(LDP highway) in KL last Sunday night. 4 people were killed and 4 injured in that road accidents. Illegal racing that cause death of these 4 people. Oh dear, I was really horrified.
