My Personal

Non Medical Representative

dixonthum
I had my first chance to become a non-medical rep (NMR) for the company to pick up a patient from Medan and send him to Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC). I’ve always wanted to become a NMR for a long time. Well, I had to take a monorail to KLIA and wait for the patient in the arrival hall. After he’s arrived, brought him to take the limo pick up arranged by my fellow colleagues to SJMC. I felt so excited throughout the whole journey.
 
I have found something that not everyone has the chance to do. I still remember having an ambition to become a doctor or nurse when I grew up. Eventually the dream is now a fairy tale but at least in the company that I’m working at now, I have got the chance to work with doctors & nurses. I can now coordinate medical related cases to help patients. The feeling is much better than becoming a doctor myself. I salute my colleagues who has been in the team for so long. They are simply the best people that I have worked with. What I can see in them is to help others (those whom you do not know) without any conditions. Way to go!
 
Here are some photos I took throughout the journey using my new mobile – trying out the gadget. It’s a birthday present from my beloved dear:Nokia 3110 Classic.

Travel

Penang

I also have a feeling of missing this place called PENANG. Don’t know why but the feeling is just there. I’ve always miss Komtar, Prangin Mall, Kek Lok Si, Gurney Drive, Ghee Hiang, Eight Row steamboat, morning dimsum, Tanjung Bungah, Batu Ferringghi, Felicia, Mein’s house, Mein’s family and everything about Penang. Always wanted to go there again to relax. Maybe it’s because everytime going back to Penang, I don’t feel the stress at work. I don’t see the busy hustle in KL. I feel very much relax there. I just wish that I can spend more time there. Therefore, Mein will have more time to spend with her family and I would have more time to enjoy. The food, the air & the water… The only one thing that I still find it difficult to cope with is the Hokkien language. BUT now I know how to understand it by listening to other’s conversation. Bad enough, I am still not able to speak the language. Embarrassed
(Everytime I go back, Mein’s brother, Hong Wai will have to be “kicked out” as he would be kind enough to let Mein & I have his room while he has to stay overnight at his girlfriend’s house. I really appreciate his kind gesture! Thanks man!)

Food & Drink

TAO : Authentic Asian Cuisine & Sushi

dixonthum
Had enough listening to recommendations and comments about this specific restaurant but I have just got the chance to pay them a visit last Friday. Good enough that it came out to be a slightly above average kind of restaurant. You actually need to do reservation first before going there to have dinner – buffet style.
 
I rate the service there good. The waiters there are attentive and patient in explaining the type of food they serve and how they serve. They are prompt as well. Although there was a small misunderstanding there before we can proceed to have our dessert. But that did not spoil my day! So let’s not mention it.
 
Anyhow, my personal favourites are Thai Spicy Lamb, Grilled Lamb Chop & Tako Sunomono (Diced Octopus marinated in Sweet and Sour Sauce). I never regret ordering Thai Spicy Lamb because it is indeed a very authentic dish. I love the aroma and the milky coconut milk taste of the spicy Thai sauce. But my girlfriend does not like it because of the smell. Well, it’s all depending on personal preference.
 
Tako Sunomono is another must try dish. My girlfriend had at least 3 plates of this because it is indeed very appetizing and not very filling. Very suitable to be eaten in between heavy meals as snack. This meal is actually diced octopus marinated in sweet and sour sauce. With a little bit of cucumber and dried fish slices.
 
Motoyaki Scallop is also recommended. But anyhow, according to my girlfriend and his brother, the original great effect is gone and it is lacking. But for me, it is good and a novelty to me. Scallops in thousand island sauce… Yum yum!!!
 
Another dish we ordered more than 3 times is Grilled Lamb Chop. You try it and you’ll love it! Or else, regret it! There are other dishes like Yakitori and Kushi Yaki (both grilled chicken and seafood in stick). Salmon with Papaya is also another special dish to me. It’s strange to mix a tropical fruit with Amazon fish together but this dish actually made it.
 
Besides the food, I also like the environment there. The table that we’ve got is very much secluded and I do feel the personal time there with my girlfriends family members and I do enjoy my time there. The decorations and interior design are giving presenting a calm and peaceful feeling for me.
