Touching Moment (13 July 16)

Although I can expect the story line, I still quite enjoy the graphic of the world of Alice looking through the glasses. :)

Some of the interesting quotes are as below:
"I used to think time is a thief, but you give before you take. Time is a gift. Every minute, every second."

"You might not change the past, but you can learn something from it."

"But dream is not a reality."~Alice
"But who is to say which is which?"~ Hatter.

Touching Moment (12 July 16)

Force to skip my lunch to support a parents who just lost their baby, then need to continue for another meetings. Before I go, my colleague put something inside my pocket, is chocolate! =D

Thanks for her kind thoughts, at least support me to go through the meeting and to meet other patients. =)

Touching Moment (11 July 16)

He has been admitted in hospital almost three months, and have gone through a lot.
Finally he is ready for discharged.

Although I felt I didn't help him much, I still feel warm when he hold my hand tight and said thank you..

在工作天，忙里偷闲，回家吃顿家常便饭。

简单，但温馨。:）

今天之小感动（6 July 16)

在目前的经济状况，要规划未来不容易。一些父母也总会操心成年孩子是否有能力扛起重担，面对未来。

同时，孩子也意愿着父母在他们奋斗多年以后，可以让自己过上自己的生活，不必再为他们烦恼。

或许，就是这样的牵绊和连接，关怀和牵挂，让爱缓缓在家里流动。:）

Touching Moment (5 July 16)

While most people is celebrating Raya and holidays, there are various groups of professionals still working to save the life of patients in medical settings.

Thank you for sacrificing personal times for the sake of people in needs. We know your contributions and certainly appreciate it! :)

Touching Moment (4 July 16)

The child was diagnosed as brain death, thus the parents made a very hard decision to opt for palliative care.

Later I know that the elders of the family blamed the parents opted for the palliative care. Even though they awared on the brain death issue, they still thought that the parents are killing the child, and this has caused the parents to have unnecessary stress despite of grieving!
I felt so sad and upset about the elders behaviour, but I know it's due to their ignorance. Hopefully our assistance can help to reduce the stress...

Thanks for the medical team who understand on this situation, and willing to go extra miles to reduce the burden of parents, despite it's near Raya period. :)

今天之小感动（3 July 16)

只是心血来潮的在聊天室问问题，却引发一系列的深度讨论。

喜欢这感觉，让我看到不同的视野，感受依然如故的热忱，还有那难得的共鸣。:）

Touching Moment (1 July 16)

Can't remember how many patients and families I met today on top of few meetings, more than 10 interaction I suppose? Mind is saturated at the end of the day. @@

However, still can feel the Raya mood from my colleague, and the joy helps me to temporary combat my fatigue to do what I need to do. :)

Touching Moment (30 June 16)

"It has been difficulty for you in these few weeks, I am glad that you have gone through this and get better."

He respond:" Of course, I will fight for my children's sake, my wife's sake, my sake, and... your sake."

Appreciate his motivation and kind thoughts. Hopefully his progress will be smoother. :)

今天之小感动（29 June 16)

对我而言，她是对工作很尽责的人，突然知道她被人指责说没完成特定事物，因而工作评估也受影响，深深为她感到不平。

她却笑着回我说:"没关系，这是上天给我的挑战，我相信上天会给我更好的安排。我仍然会把该做的事都做完的。"

欣赏她把逆境当成挑战，继续奋斗的精神。要学习不容易啊。。

今天之小感动（28 June 16)

没留意车后面的车牌掉了，也知道这是夜晚了，修车铺通常已经关了，只能赌赌运气，兜去可能掉车牌的地方找找看。

沿途战战兢兢，希望不会遇到警察叔叔，结果也没找到车牌，却意外发现。。。
还有修车铺开着！
就这样，有惊无险，又过一关。:）

Touching Moment (27 June 16)

Continuous rounds, counseling, and meetings made me drained after settle down everything. However, it's good to see things are progressing smoothly and positive comments to boost me go through the day.

While giving others, I am also getting strengths from others. :)

Touching Moment (26 June 16)

Life is sometimes routine and ordinary, but we can always make it slightly extraordinary by making a little surprise and make our love one smile. :)

Touching Moment (25 Jun 16)

Watched the movie "About time" twice in few days, alone and with others, and still find it a very great and touching movie. =D

There are few quotes as below I still feel it is very meaningful, as below:
"We're all traveling through time together, every day of our lives. All we can do is do our best to relish this remarkable ride."

"I'm not particularly proud of many things in my life, but I am very proud to be the father of my son."

"I just try to live everyday as if I've deliberately come back to this one, to enjoy it, as if it was the final full day of my extraordinary, ordinary life." =D

今天之小感动（24 June 16）

他们位高权重，却几乎每次都咄咄逼人，甚至讽刺谩骂。面对这样的病患和家属，少一些心理建设的话，久而久之也会心力交瘁啊。。@@

而今天，他的进展又不太顺利，和他们见面时，有了几个星期的经验，已经预期他们会再一次的讽刺谩骂。没想到，对方听了后，静了好些时候，回了我一句:"Keith, 我真的觉得很无助。。"

承受他们愤怒的几个星期后，他们才愿意摊开，那害怕失去他的心。。

今天之小感动（23 June 16）

再次探访他的时候，他爸爸不在，换了一个我之前没见过的陌生女生。

他看到我，笑着说:"爸爸回去了，换女朋友照顾我。"

老实说，他们年纪蛮轻，有点意外他们家人会觉得放心。不过看他们彼此的默契，或许就是他们的互相扶持，就算生病开刀也不离不弃的坚定，赢得家人们的信任吧？

愿他们可以一直扶持下去，祝福他们。 :）

Touching Moment (22 June 16)

A great phrase from Brene Brown:
"Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn't change the truth that I am brave and worthy of love and belonging." :-)

今天之小感动（21 June 16)

"想当初，我老板从银行拿了一大笔钱，上车后我们给人跟踪，还好我机警，驾进附近有guard的工厂，然后。。。"

虽然他现在因为身体限制，没法完成太多事物，但是他的想当年，让他一生精彩，足以回味啊~

Touching Moment（18 June 16）

In our life, we always spend time to develop relationship with others. How much time does we spend to listen to ourselves, listen to the voice of inner child (Unihipili) which is deep inside our heart?

Listening and being with inner child doesn't mean immature, it is a chance for us to be creative, fun, amazing and happy.

Glad that I could have sometimes with him. ;)

Touching Moment (17 June 16)

"Morning, going up? which floor ya?" 

While I was in the lift, I smiled and greeted to some patients and families. While I went out from the lift, I overheard the conversation between the patients and families. 

"What a cheerful guy, it makes my day." 

Glad that my smile and greet can put a smile on others' face. You can give this gift too. ;)

Touching Moment (16 June 16)

In these few weeks, to respect Malay colleague during Puasa, I tried not to eat and drink in front of them.

My another colleague aware on that, and in these few weeks, she kept on bless me with lunch, so that I won't skip my lunch and have enough food. Appreciate her kind thoughts and moves. =D

Touching Moment (15 June 16）

During Puasa period, while I was doing my work, was surprised that my Malay colleague suddenly pass me a biscuit. And she said,

"I can sense that you are very stress now, I don't know what to do, just can pass you the biscuit to help you release the stress."

Well, she is so cute and kind. Hahaha

Touching Moment (14 June 16)

This is the first time I have seen this elderly patient. Suddenly in the middle of session, he asked me a question I don't know how to answer.

"My daughter is currently still single and available, do you have someone to introduce to her?"

I was totally blank for a while when listening to this question, but I know that this is a concern that he worry he can't take care of his daughter anymore after his operation.

PS: Feeling guilty for nearly laugh at the question when I heard of it. @@

今天之小感动（13 June 16）

当身边又有东西坏掉时，难免会有烦躁，要调整心情需要一定的功力啊。。

不过看身边的人比我更担心气愤，也让我的心暖暖的。
毕竟有人伤心着我的伤心，开心着我的开心啊... :-)

Touching Moment (12 June 16)

Very fortune to meet an aunty who always bless me and my friends. It reminds me that it is a blessing if we are able to put a smile on other's face. 

Remind myself to pay it forward. =) 

Touching Moment (11 June 16)

"Life teaches us all we need to know, but it is our responsibilities to choose how to respond to it."

Love this phrase heard from video sharing. Life teaches us lessons, but it also depends on us whether we want to learn from it and grow to become a better person.

It is a good reminder to myself. =)

Touching Moment (10 June 16)

This phrase still wondering in my mind even after a few days, as a reminder to myself, sounded like:

"We keep fighting, not to change the world, but so that the world does not change us."
（我们一路奋战，不是为了改变世界，而是不让这世界改变我们。）

As long as we still have someone who fight for truth and love, there is still hope in this world. :-)

今天之小感动（9 June 16)

端午节，虽不在家乡，但有家人温馨电话，加上和好友们一起相聚，聊聊天，吃吃粽子，倒也写意。 :-)

PS:也祝我爸爸生日快乐 :-P

今天之小感动 (8 June 16)

"世上最珍贵的东西，一些时候是 听不见看不清的，只有用心才能感受得到。”

这句话，让我想起了之前想的一句话。
“缺乏发现美的眼睛，世界再大都一样。” =)

Touching Moment (7 Jun 16)

In the lift, on the way going to meet a patient, I pressed the button, smiles and greet the guests who came in, and have a small chat with them.

Before they went out, one of the guests said to me:" Budaya you amat best, I salute you la."

Well, I guest our CFC (Customer Focus Culture) worked. Feel good to put a smile on other faces too. =)

Touching Moment（5 Jun 16）

Even though I prefer some other movies, "You before Me" has some quotes circulating in my mind. As below: 

“Some mistakes... Just have greater consequences than others. But you don't have to let the result of one mistake be the thing that defines you. You, Clark, have the choice not to let that happen.” 

“I will never, ever regret the things I've done. Because most days, all you have are places in your memory that you can go to.” 

“Don't think of me too often. I don't want to think of you getting all maudlin. Just live well.
Just live.” 

And I wish all of us, live well. =) 

Touching Moment (4 June 16)

When I went out from the ward, I saw a girl aged around 8 years old sitting at the floor alone, together with a big plastic bag.

Concern about her safety, I walked there to ask about her guardian and how long she was there alone. Then I get the information that her father was in the ward together with her brother, who is a patient in hospital. The issue is, she was left inattentive more than 15 minutes, and anything can happen to her during this period. @@

Thankful there are some security guards around to help to keep an eyes on the girl, so that I could try to seek for the father to take care of the girl.

I don't blame the father's action as I knew he has his own difficulties to take care of several children, especially some of them are sick. However, I did hope that all the parents can take extra precaution especially on the children's safety, especially there are several sad news that happened recently in Malaysia.

Lastly, appreciate the security guards and staffs in helping me to safeguard on the girl while I tried to search for the father. Hopefully together we can make the world a better place. =)

Touching Moment ( 3 June 16)

Last few days, the husband was in pain after surgery, even with the helps of medication. The wife appeared very anxious and express helplessness in this incident. Thus, I assisted them to manage their emotions and situations, and emphasized on the self care for the wife as well.

After a few days, both of them appeared much better in terms of emotions management. While having individual session with husband, he expressed appreciation to me for helping the wife to manage her emotions. He said:"I know she care about me and wish me to get better soon, but when I saw her getting stress and helpless, it affects me as well."

"In these few days, she appeared calmer, which helps to foster my recovery as well as I have less worry over her situation too. Thanks for helping us."

It is good to have our love one to support and care on us. However, we also need to achieve the balance point: Too much care sometimes is a stressor to others, and while caring for others, we need to take care of ourselves too. ;)

Touching Moment (2 Jun 16)

Can't go back home due to rain, I go back to office and continue to do some stuffs. Suddenly, received a call from ward. A patient just had sudden cardiac arrest and passed away.

Appreciate the nurses for calling to support the family. At least can help him to sort out what to do and keep him company for a while.

Probably the rain that stopped me from going home, is to let me stay in the hospital for a while and continue to serve who in needs. :-)

今天之小感动（1 June 16)

暴风雨中，仍然驾车出去，比意外中更塞车。于是转回头，想用令一条路到达目的地，却发现我来的哪条路居然树倒了！前后不到半个小时啊~

转念来说，还好我安全避开塞车，甚至树倒在我车的状况！ 感恩，避开一劫啊~

今天之小感动（29 May 16）

虽然已经数不清来回 KL 多少次了，不过有全家在我上巴士前的相聚，依然给我留下淡淡的悸动。

或许，看多了病人的生死无常，更提醒我珍惜现在拥有的相聚。:-)

Touching Moment (28 May 16)

"Any one of you feel that transplant is good and beneficial, please raise up your hand."

Most of the people in the hall raised up their hand.

" Ok, any one of you in this hall willing to become the donor for transplant?" Unfortunately, only a few showed up their hands.

"Well, this is an issue. Most of us believe transplant is beneficial, yet only few of us willing to put it into action."

Indeed, I noticed this phenomena long time ago. Many people know some action is good, yet little willing to put it into action.

Really appreciate those who willing to face their fear and pledge for those who in needs. And I hope that more and more people able to overcome their fear and do something right. And I believe we can see a better future. :-)

Touching Moment (27 May 16)

Even though not a expected plan, I appreciate the journey joining 19 th Annual Scientific Meeting of Malaysia Science of Transplantation.

Particularly like the theme: Honouring the past, and shaping the future.

Transplant program has gone a long way, facing lots of challenges and hurdles, yet we shall honour and learn from the past, to embrace the new ideas and concepts for future practices.

Hopefully Malaysia society can be more supportive of this program to help the patients in needs..

Touching Moment (26 May 16)

While I am having a conversation with a IJN driver, I feel grateful to have them as part of the team especially when they are in needs to send the medical staffs for transplants.

No doubts medical staffs are the first line to help the patients, but every staffs who provide helps behind the screen shall be appreciated too. ;-)

Touching Moment (24 May 16)

"Counselor alone" today as my colleagues are all in workshops are not a joke, especially I am still in recovery stage from illness. 

Thanks God for granting me energy to support patients and families in needs today, especially those End of Life case and DIL case. 

Seriously need to recover fast to pick up my research mode ah~~

Touching Moment (23 May 16)

After getting patient's information, I rush to see another family. While I am having conversation with the family, suddenly a nurse ran to me.

" Mr Keith, your phone."

I accidentally put my phone at nurse counter. @@ appreciate the kind soul to bring back my phone to me. :-D

PS: Well, still in recovery stage, still blur. @@

今天之小感动 （22 May 16）

虽然他因为某些事故心有芥蒂，无法风轻云淡，不过相较起来，他比多年前提得起，放得下。

或许，人总是要随着时间，面对着时间，才能一步一步成长，一步步面对过往的伤痛，再成为那可以让自己自豪的自己。 =)

Quote: Healing is not the process of forgetting, it is the process of remembering with less pain and more joy. (Anonymous)

Touching Moment (20 May 16)

This is not his part of jobs, but after my supervisor handed him my proposal to pass to me for amendment, he is willing to sacrifice his time traveling from his organization to IJN, just to pass me my proposal.

Appreciate his efforts and kind thoughts. =)

Touching Moment (18 May 16)

While I back to office, my colleague has made several phone call to government welfare department.

Out of curiosity, I asked her what makes her made the phone call. She told that she has a client in ward in being abundance by family members. Although partly it might be because of his attitude issue, she just want to try her luck to see whether welfare department can provide any helps to him.

Glad to have her as a colleague, as she always think to do more for others. =)

Touching Moment (17 May 16)

Never thought that one day I will work with certain department as their field is unrelated to mine, yet it is interesting and fruitful to work together with them. As I can see different perspective and their ways of life while working there. 

This is also part of the interesting part in counseling. While accompanying the patients and families members go through the challenges of their life, I also get a glimpse of their perspective and ways of life. Loving my job. =) 

Touching Moment (16 May 16)

Falling sick no doubt is uncomfortable. However, having someone beside while sick can ease the discomfort, as you know someone is there for you. =)

Touching Moment (15 May 16)

Although planning a oversea family trip really need to do a lot of homework to fulfill the needs of everyone, it's kind of fun that all of us able to visualize the moment, and looking forward to it.

Hopefully it can be a yearly event for our family to spend time together. :-D

Touching Moment (13 May 16)

Counting number of family members in the counseling room, in total there were more than 24 of them, waiting for doctor to break the news.

It is not easy to accept the fact that the patient is dying, even though all parties have tried their best for her. However, at least while the patient passed away, all the family and relatives are there to support each other.

Hope these supports could further help the family to move on..

Touching Moment (11 May 16)

Well, it's tiring to attend an audit-like meeting. However, feel grateful to have my department at my back to support me while I am out of idea.

Glad to feel the teamwork. :-)

Touching Moment (5 May 16)

"Recently hospital need to do a lot of changes. Luckily we still have the culture of helping each others to back us up."

Agree with the statement of my colleagues. No doubt everyone will face some challenges and changes in work. It will be great if everyone stop pointing finger but helping each others to go through the challenges.

Hopefully we can have a greater and more positive culture, and I know it always start from ourselves. =)

Touching Moment (4 May 16)

Even though they knew that the baby is going to born with severe congenital heart defects, they still decided to give him a chance, let him fight for his own life.

Not an easy decision though, hopefully all the best for this family.

Touching Moment (3 May 16)

Being the family of this patient for a couple of weeks. Initially thought that the patient might able to recover from OT, unfortunately, his cardiac arrest today broke our hope.

Accompanying the family for a couple of hours, I know how hard is it for them to turn their thought from hoping the miracle to finally decide for DNR (Do not resuscitate).

The decision they made, they made it based on love. They don't want the patient to suffer anymore, even though how painful for them to let him go.

Have done my best, and Hope that the family able to move on afterward.

Touching Moment (27 April 16)

The topic I presented is not the usual topic I familiar, still I am able to present on it.

However, it is good to have senior coach around too to top up her experience and information, adding more benefits to the participants. :-D

PS: Now preparing the next continuous 3 days workshops to end this month~

Touching Moment (26 April 16)

Sometimes, it takes times to make changes. And I am glad that my colleagues have moved from the resistance to working together for the best interest of patients and departments.

Always good to have a team to support each other. =D

Touching Moment (22 April 16)

The movie "Redha" is a good movie showing the journey of a father with an autism child, from denial to acceptation then celebrate on having the child.

Touching Moment (19 April 16)

While the lift open, I am surprise to meet these elder couple. The lady was on her wheel chair, and the man, who has visual difficulty, was pushing the wheel chair.

What an interesting interaction to see both of them supporting each other while both of them having their own challenges. Wish them well.

Touching Moment (18 April 16)

He doesn't want to become a burden to others, hence think of undergoing operation alone.

Have a long session with him just to let him realize that sometimes we need someone to support us while we are in difficulties. It's never a shame to ask help from others, and family and friends always means to support one another.

Hopefully everything goes well for him..

今天之小感动（16 April 16）

While I reached there, both of them are nagging each other. Both of them are over 50 year old. Husband nagged the wife for not compliance to medication. Wife nagged the husband for not understanding.

After spending sometimes with them, I suggested:"Why not I personally feed her some food and medication?"

They looked surprise, but it appeared work. The wife finally ate the medication and husband seems relief.

The husband also concerned about the wife's situation, just he doesn't know a better way to express it.

Hope their condition will be getting better.

Touching Moment (13 April 16)

Probably too occupied with works, even nurses and other colleagues notice different in me, asking me questions like "You seems like lethargic today?" "Are you sick?" "Please do take care, patients still need you" and etc.

Well, this is really not a good sign. @@ Thanks for the angels around, always reminds me to self care. :-)

Touching Moment (12 April 16)

"I have finished the tasks you given to me and have emailed to you."

Feel grateful to have a team to face the challenges. :-D

今天之小感动（11 April 16）

当速度和效率成了主流，人少了时间沉淀反思，手上工作就只是一日复一日的重复，少了人与人间的连接。

Touching Moment (4 April 16)

However, it is good to hear their news after some times, knowing that they are able to move on with the memories of love one.

Wish them well.

Touching Moment (3 April 16)

Self reminder after having conversation with friends:

It's good to provide our maximum supports to people we care. But at the same times we also need to have sufficient self care.

Imagine if you are always stress up while your friends/ family expressed their difficulties to you, do they feel like sharing their burdens with you?

Remind myself, don't forget to care for myself while supporting others. :-P

Physical exhausted but mentally feel satisfied, at least I can contribute more for the patients.

Touching Moment (17 March 16)

Few months ago, I accompany this patient and his family go through a very high risk operation. Recently, he is preparing his second operation at other hospital.

Preparing this opt, the patient again feel stressful about the opt, and his wife worried about him, wish me to refer a counselor in that hospital for him.

After guiding her what to do, although he is no longer in IJN, still I "sneak" in to another hospital to pay him a visit after work, and certainly still recall his surprise and happy face. :-P

I aware of the professional boundaries between counselor and client, and I will put trust and handover the case to another counselor and hospital. The reason I was there is to let the patient and family knew that even though they are alone in KL ( they are from other states far far away), there is someone still care about them. Wish them well..

Touching Moment (16 March 16)

She said:" I know it's your job, but thank you for doing what you are doing right now.
I am not educated. If I am, I wish to do the job you are doing right now, to help others." ( translated)

I think the job she mentioned is not only include counselor, but also doctors, nurses, and other helping professionals.

Words from patient's family:
Thanks you for doing what you are doing right now. :-)

Touching Moment (15 March 16)

Being a counselor and a student at the same time definitely testing my management skills, and I can't do it alone.

It's indeed still a long journey, but glad to have wonderful people be with me in the journey. :-D

Touching Moment (14 March 16)

之前因为财务限制，他们只可以能省则省，度过难关。

度过关卡后，虽然他们说不上富贵，只能称为小康，但为了家人，他们都不吝啬花费，更不吝啬陪伴和付出，就要给家人一个心满意足的笑容。

而能让家人有这笑容，我想也是其中一件人生最让人骄傲的事了。:-)

今天之小感动（9 Jan 16）

对于相聚，尤其是家人，在家居住的很多都习以为常。

相聚是缘，系之以心。

As a father, he shows the children good example of people with courage. :-)

Touching Moment (4 January 2015)

Because I was coned for few times by someone who approached me for money, I am a bit suspicious over their sincerity.

However, I have learnt alternative ways to be kind from my father.

When she approached for money, instead of giving her, I just said:

"Please sit down, order what you want to eat, I will pay for you."

She stunt for a while, then said:" I already have some rice at home, can I take away some food from here?"

Well, until now, still can recall her smiley face from my memory. =)

来不及的2015年回顾，今年就补上吧！=P

2015年算是蛮起伏的一年。开始的第一天和结束的最后一天都发生了一些状况，以助人者的身份帮助相关人士度过困难。心疼他们遭遇的当儿，也很荣幸他们允许我的陪伴。

感恩家人和好友们都还算平安健康快乐，和他们更是有机会在不同的地方共度美好时光，如新加坡，直直港，Pangkor, Legoland, Janda Baik, 居銮，我非常珍惜这美好，也期望未来的我们有更多如此的互动。

更庆幸有“特别人物”参与了我的生命，也期望我们可以继续相互扶持，共同成长。 =)

今年也去了好些地方，做了不同的尝试。其中最大的挑战是进修博士学位，希望未来几年我可以有那毅力和能力去走完这旅程。

吉兰丹和尼布尔的赈灾之旅，更让我看到了人性的坚韧和美好。虽然我的能力有限，也期望如果可以，在安排好自己的生活下，可以有那余力继续奉献。

另外，除了去更好玩的是做过"新年专辑“，去了一些有趣的workshops, 也有机会给了一些不同的工作坊。就这样，玩乐，学习，助人，成长，有心爱的家人女友好友们陪伴，圆满了我的2015年。知足，感恩。=)
