Patients never fail to amuse me.
Scene One:
In Polyclinic Peringgit, while withdrawing blood from a chinese uncle, approximately 60 years old? Conversation in Mandarin.
Chinese uncle: *chirpy friendly voice* Doctor, have to come again later a? *for 2 hours post prandial*
Me: Yes lo. Now you can go for your breakfast.
Chinese uncle: Wanna go with me a? Are you free?
Me : =.=" *muka maintain* Uncle, haha busy la. Anyways, medical student life not that good. We dont have teabreaks
Chinese uncle: Aiya, So sad a? I thought can buy you tea. Hehe.
Me: *stomach grumbles from hunger but mussssssst maintain* No la. Busy. Thanks uncle. (:
Then , after countless blood withdrawals, Chinese uncle came back 2 hours later, catching me off guard.
Chinese uncle: Pretty doctor!!! *His words ok? Not mine.* You are still here? You must be very busy!
Me: Oh uncle. *insert cold laughter* Yes I am. Didnt know it's already 2 hours! Haha You had your tea?
Chinese uncle: Yes lo. Thought you will come. Haha *I was preparing the syringe, needle and swab* You are not from around here?
Me: No, I'm from Klang.
Chinese uncle: How often you go back? You drive back?
Me: Yup. Once a month *lied, padahal more frequent but not that he'll sponsor my petrol if told him 2 or more sometimes?*
Chinese uncle: Wow. Nowadays girl very daring hor? Can drive back alone. bla bla bla *wasnt really concentrating cos was finding his veins and he was talking bout his relative or someone, used his car and met an accident then dare not drive anymore*
Me: *gave the occasional laughter and smile*
Chinese uncle: Aiya, then buy car insurance for what? Must make it worth it. Meet a few accidents is ok!
Me: *success! witdrew a 3ml syringe full while busy chit-chatting*
Chinese uncle: Doctor, next time when you are free, come find me at Sin Hoe garden. I stay at one of the houses, nearby the shoplots. House no XX. Okay!? I'll treat you!
Me: HAHA ok ok. Take care uncle!
Told mum about this particular incident. She had a good laugh. Mum asked why I attract uncles but not proper guys? SIGH.
Scene Two:
In Malacca GH, male medicine ward with Olive and Leeky.
I was standing in between them and Olive was casually asking a medical officer who was clerking a Malay patient.
The Malay patient immediately looked at my direction and asked, "Doctor dari CHINA ka?"
I was like, WTF?, shocked, which part of my face looks like China mui? smiled and before I can answer, he continued, "From Shanghai? You got the Shanghai look!"
Then he looked at the rest (Olive, Leeky and MO) for reassurance.
WHAT IS THE SHANGHAI LOOK? *googles frantically for shanghai look! .. no la. crazy.. not that paranoid*
According to him, he always go to China for business trips. His wife was beside him so I DONT think there's any hanky-panly business with China girls for the fear that his wife will interrogate him later, "Kenapa bang spesifik muka dia macam muka pompuan Shanghai?"
He says my complexion very similar. Smooth porcelain like? HAHAHA. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT MY EYES ARE SEPET or SLITs ok?
Told him, "No, I'm Malaysian" *PROUD*, which he answered, "Oh, bagus, good.." Er.. T____________T
Nevertheless, I will take it as a compliment. MAYBE just maybeeeee, I look like a rich tai tai's....... daughter ok? *flips hair*
