first trip to health centre

aloooo .. baru lega dapat sort kan blog nie yang cam buat hal the last few days ...so, a quick posting from yours truly to check whether it works ...

as the title suggests, akak tak sihat ...i have been feeling unwell the last few days but cannot take days off sebab dateline looming ..but, gonna announce here that my proposal was finally (as in FINALLY!!!) submitted last Monday ...so now ada kat reviewers, who will report their evaluation to committee on 27th nie ..so, my one year work is now at the hand of the reviewers ...so, doakan le aku lepas :-)

 the version before the last amendment - my one year work being summarised into 15 pages (tak termasuk references and appendices) ..takleh lebih than 15 pages coz kalau lebih reviewer boleh reject :-)

anyhoos ...last sunday I was supposed to be working, but ended up playing tennis with sue and my opis mate for 2.5 hours in the middle of the day..tennis was fun ..i have not played tennis in over 15 years ...followed by leisurely lunch at asian market sempena CNY ..siap ada lion dance ok ...terubat rindu jap lol ..and then followed by scenic drive and grocery shopping ..last2 that sunday i only did 3 hours of work ...and let me just say this - i know i work better under pressure hahaha ..so come Monday, aku memang start at 8 am ...and managed to submit 2 hours before the specified time ...i just cannot make any more improvement by then ..perasaan lega menguasai diri ....now my sv plak in Melbourne so I am free till end of this week ...next monday baru aku start kerja balik ...

and now..two days after submission, i bangun pagi feeling asthmatic ..i have been coughing since sunday ..and i can hear myself wheezing ..selama kat sini memang tak pernah jejak kaki kat student health centre until lah pagi ni ..i called to make appointment (note: kat sini kena buat appointment, sebab kalau mai gitu ajer, they will charge you as outpatient and kena bayar..kalau appointment, insuran will cover) ..and sebab esok public hols, my appoitment was set for fri ..then bila dengar aku batuk, she asked me to drop by pagi nie jugak ..see the nurse for triage ..and kalau teruk baru jumpa doktor ...so i went ...

while waiting for the nurse

memang aku a bit asthmatic ..but oxigen circulation ok ...dry cough ...slight temperature ...nurse asked me to jumpa doktor coz she doesnt like the sound of my breathing  ..so i did ...ended up with inhaler ..dia bagi dua serentak ..one for my handbag ..one for my bedside ...and i am to rest :-)

kat uni nie ada pharmacy sendiri - called uni pharmacy hehehe ..so senang, after gi health centre, terus ajer datang sini utk ambik prescription ..located at easterfield building ..and sekangkang kera from my opis

kat sini, kalau ada insuran, treatment and ubat akan dicover oleh insuran ...and i am lucky coz as pelajar tajaan, my insuran is up to date ...kalau kena bayar sendiri memang payah ...so all i need to do is ..buat appointment jumpa doktor ...will be covered by insuran ..and then gi pharmacy ambik ubat  and also covered by insuran ..tapi ada gak cases yang insuran tak cover ...like dentist treatment ...which is so expensive here ...and buat cermin mata pun tak covered by insuran ...also bloody expensive ...physiotherapy and counselling - depends on situation ....but also available kat student health centre ...and test test lain bergantung pada keadaan jugak ...like pap smear for international students are not covered by insuran ..so kena bayar ...

so sekian cerita aku gi health centre - semoga it will not become a routine for me!
