Happy Labour Day: My first job

Happy Labour day everyone! 

Flashback about 1.8 year before.. That time I was a fresh graduate, looking for job. Actually I want to continue my studies in Msc (Master of Science), I did applied and accepted. But, due to some money problem, I have decided to work, and keep some money so that I can further my studies later.

I agree that it was so hard to be accepted when you are just a fresh grad in a company. And, on the same date that I should register for my master degree, I start my first job. Guess what? I work as Research Assistant in Sport Science Unit, USM, School of Medical Science. 

With the salary, about RM1.5k, minus EPF, minus room fees, food and etc, I don't know why, somehow it is enough! And, I can still enjoy my day by shopping, makan-makan, and many more. 

As an RA, I need to help my professors to search journal for certain topic related to the project. I help students with blood sampling, collecting data, and at the same time, I should feed the RATS! Haha.. I was lucky because the rats were so cute. I feed them everyday - almost hundred rats. Not only feed them, change the beddings, and measure their weight so that it is still within the range.

After few weeks of working,  department organised badminton mix-double tournament, and after one month, I went to family day, and tennis weekly + Jamuan Hari Raya, and a lot of makan-makan there!

I work there for almost 5 months I guess. And later I got some sponsorship to study about Ultrasound. But, sadly, I skip that one because they sponsor me for tuition fees only. Hmm.. Then, unexpectedly, I got a job one week later. Alhamdulillah... 

I love my first job. It is not stressful at all.. =). Thanks for the opportunity. I think, each time I went for an interview, they were excited knowing and learning something about my experiment regarding my first job.Haha.. Me too. In fact, before leaving USM that time I feel sad, especially to leave my RATS just like that..wuuuuu =(

Dental service,PPUM

Tooth ache. My 3rd molar is growing! I can't stand with it anymore, and I went to PPUM few days ago. I am glad, as a Malaysian citizen, I got the medical and dental service for free.

But, PPUM is semi-gov. So I pay RM5 for registration fee. The doctor check everything, and found out that my tooth is impacted. Sounds great! Then, I should take an x-ray. It is OPG view (you can see the whole teeth from right end to the left end, AP view).

And, they told me that I should undergo MOS (minor surgery). And, it cost me RM150. Wah, that's cheap! Compared to private clinic, they may charge you RM700 per tooth for impacted case. Haaa.. 

And for today, for the x-ray exam, checkup and everything, it is FREE!

Alhamdulillah =)
