First Dose Done (dan saya terhilangkan gelang emas mak)!

bila kau rajin tak bertempat maka jadilah poster picagari senget

Assalamualaikum, good day dearest! Last Tuesday, I received a message saying that I need to check my appointment details for the first dose of vaccination on MySejahtera. And when I checked, it was scheduled on 10th July 2021, Saturday at 9.30 am. Luckily, the PPV wasn't that far from my home, probably just 15-20 minutes by car. 

So, on that fateful day, my sister sent me to the center (she received her dose a day before, with her husband). I feel like I have prepared everything perfectly but then I forgot the most important thing, my mask. I literally remember the mask when we have passed the gate of the center. To my relief, my sister had a whole box of masks inside of her car.

Anyway, when I arrived, I immediately took out my temporary document of my identification card (back in April, I went to change my IC and was told to come back after one month. But PKP happened, so I haven't take my IC yet huhu). I passed the document to the guard lady and went to scan my entrance. She came back with the document and asked if I have my license. I said yes and give her my driving license and took the document back. Apparently, the document is too big.

While looking for a seat to wait for my name to be called, I can recognized some familiar eyes (well, we cannot actually see their faces). Those familiar people were my senior and some were my junior in high school. And then, I see her! My friend back in high school. We are not particularly close but it was good to have someone to chat with huhu. My name was called 10 minutes before 9.30, and that is good! The MC gave my license back with a '35' number card to be  attached on my tudung. She told me to went inside of the hall (it was community hall btw) and follow the direction showed by the standing at the door volunteer.

since I don't take any photo of the venue (due to nerve maybe) so I draw this little map huhu

Second stage, form information. I just need to wait for my turn (according to the number). As there were three counter, it was a short wait. And when I got to the counter, all I need to do was to pass my license and wait. The complete form then was given to me and I need to move to the next stage - the information and consent stage.

After another waiting game, I sat in front of the doctor and gave him my form. A series of questions were asked; (1) do I have any sickness (2) do I have any allergy (3) do I have plan for marriage (4) am i pregnant of any plan for to get pregnant. After that, I was consult regarding the vaccine that I will receive which was Pfizer. After all the jazz, he asked for my signature and then voila, I am free to go for the next stage; the vaccination stage.

I actually don't have to wait long at this stage, and once I am inside the cubicle, the nurse asked me what vaccine will I receive, for what dose, and then she asked me to prepare for my sacrifice (my arm I mean). And, less than one minute, I am vaccinated! Here comes the last stage - the 15 minutes wait stage. After passing my form and the number card back at the counter for this stage, I took a seat near my friend and wait the time to run. Aside from slight headache, I was all good. And after 15 minutes ended, we (me and my friend) took picture outside of the hall. So, that was pretty much how the day of my vaccination. Oh, it only took one hour for the whole process. I wouldn't say that it is too long for less than a minute injection because the whole process is smooth and everyone is guided very well.

The downside is I feel lethargic for a few days. But that was normal for me. Even one pill of paracetamol can knock me out for a good few hours (that's why I tend to not eat any ubat). Oh, the area where they inject me was a bit swollen because my niece accidentally smack me =D

Other than that, I am  as good as new. For the second dose, I will received it on 31st July, two weeks from today more or less. And I will try to take pictures of the place, so that I don't have to draw the map  (but it was fun) huhu.

The story of 'gelang emas mak hilang lepas vaccination'!

So, since my appointment for first dose is in the morning, I am free for the evening. Like usual, I would spent my evening (5 to 6.30) with my family at the veranda. When I went out, my mom who was sitting on the buaian suddenly called me and asked,

"Mana gelang kau?"

Oh, it was her bracelet until it did not fit her wrist so gave it to me. With confidence I pulled the sleeve of my shirt up to reveal my arm (gelang tu besar kat aku so selalunya akan sampai ke lengan) to show the gelang. BUT IT WAS NOT THERE AND I DID NOT REALIZED IT! Cuak jugakla masa tu, I keep thinking that I accidentally lost it at the PPV but then I realized that the bracelet wasn't there when I showered that morning. Which means, I lost it around or inside the house. 

For days, I keep tracing back where I go to find that gelang. My mom dah siap kira harga how much bought it for and how much it values today. I seriously think I'm screwed. So, this morning, while I cooked, my momm who was sidai baju at the time suddenly said,

"Tahu tak mak jumpa apa?"

And I absentmindedly asked what and then she said that she found the bracelet. Terjerit gue disitu, nasiblah ayam dah selamat digoreng. Well, the bracelet was found on my mother's bed. Maybe it fall off while I took a rest after I use the sewing machine in my mom's room. Mystery solved =D
