Dinner talk: execution of criminal

today, we were discussing about criminal execution over dinner.

nephew01: is it true that we hang criminal to death?
nephew02: of course, they tie some brick on the foot of the criminal, then put him on a plank then kick off the plank and let him fall. that is how i heard it was done.
me: yea somewhat, but malaysia have 2 type of death penalty, one is “gantung sampai mati” (= hang till you die) and another is “hukuman gantung” (= only hang)
nephew01: then if only hang, surely a lot of ppl will survive
me: unlikely, by the force of body falling, usually one will snapped their neck
nephew01: the magician wont die, since they know magic
nephew02: oh, then it will be exhausting for the executioner to hang them repeatingly
me: …

nephew02: why dont we electricute them?
me: US is doing that, hanging is the “malaysian” way
nephew01: which one is more painful, hanging or electricuting?
me: … how do i know, i never got hanged or electricuted before

nephew02: in China, they shoot them to death rite?
me: yes
nephew02: so i heard, the executioner will stand in circle and shoot the criminal in the center. that way, the criminal will surely die, unlike hanging
me: if they stand in circle, then not only the criminal will die, all the executioner might die too, shooting at each other :p
nephew01: LOL

nephew01: why not just toss them into the volcano
me: well, that might work, if only every country got a volcano
nephew02: nevermind, indonesia can lend us the volcano
me: … (wow, how diplomatic of them to think indonesia gonna lend us a freaking VOLCANO!)

nephew01: but it will be a hassle to climb the volcano everytime
me: we can just build the prison next to the volcano
nephew02: or we can fly a plane over and push them down
me: LOL
nephew01: come to think of it, might not be a very good way, if the volcano erupt, it will be dead body all over
us: LOL

nephew01: we can actually dig a big hole and push them all from the plane. that way, we kindda took care of the funeral one shot.
me: but it is not very cost effective to fly a plane everytime we wanna execute a criminal.
nephew02: we could just tie them to the aeroplane tire and dragged them all the way till they die
me: LOL… (yea, they might just die before u took off) or we could just drive a lorry into them
us: LOL

such educational dinner talk, rite? now i can rest assure our future is secured if my nephew becomes the leader of the country next time. next time a judge will pass down a death sentence, it will sound like this: Hukuman mati dengan dilanggar lorry sehingga mati!

2010: not yet 2012

2010 started with a BAM!… i meant that quite literally. BAM! as in collision kind of bam. As 12 midnite clocked-in on us, it actually slipped passed without much celebration. we were busy resuscitating a 16 year-old kid from a motor-vehicle accident. I succeeded intubation on 1st try, yet it wasnt enough to pull him back from the damage that has been done. pronounced brain dead somewhere near dawn.

I stepped outside from the hectic ER and watched the sunrise over the horizon. breathed a bit of fresh air — air without the smell of blood.

that’s how my newyear rolled by.

cheering things up

needed something to cheer urself up? how about listening to a song? 

this song always gives me the warm and fuzzy feeling. thank God for Youtube (and thank you google inc. too of course)

i’m hitting the low-point of my health this week… pray that at least my spirit will see me through.

saving perfection for another day

we are married to our job. period.

it was a normal working days as any other. i was busy in the ward as usual.

I stood over to take ABG for an elderly patient at the acute cubicle. Sensed a flow from my nostril. Perhaps i caught a cold i thought, carelessly wipe away with my forearm (avoiding contact withthe latex gloves).

There is faint trail of blood stained on my forearm now. My nose were bleeding.

nothing to be alarmed about. i reacted coldly and calmly. as if it doesnt concerned me. Held my mind off it, continue taking the ABG.

my emotion bleached by the constant repeatative tasks.

…
…
…

finding myself not able to sleep again tonite despite weary from a lengthy day of work. my mind wandering off somewhere else, seeking comfort.

i’d usually take effort to do thing till perfection, but lately, i’d save perfection for another day.
