Certified Vaccination Completed!

26th July is finally here! It was the day for my 2nd dose vaccination. Few days earlier, I received an sms notification and also an automated voice call  to remind me of my appointment. For my 1st dose at the Indera Mulia Stadium, it took me 3 hours 40 mins because of the big crowd. For my 2nd dose, it was a drive thru at the same place and the whole process took about 1 hour 30 minutes. Some of my friends who went on a different day took only 20 mins to clear the whole process.

Sunrise at 7:12am to start the new day.
It was misty on the Kledang Hill (on the reverse side) at 7:12am.
Morning sky at 7:20am
Still misty on the Kledan hill.
We walked to the Dim Sum Restaurant to buy breakfast.
Yam puffs and siew mai dim sum.
Crispy and flaky skin with moist filling.
Steamed buns: "san yuk pao" for hubby (left) and "wong chow kai yuk pao" for me (right).
Cut into halves to show the fillings.
We joined the long queue of cars going into the ground of the stadium at about 11:30am. There were 2 queues and we were on the left side.
We passed the 1st check point where my temperature was scanned, checking of my vaccine card and consent form. Now heading towards to 2nd check point.
I had my 1st dose done inside this indoor stadium (Indera Mulia).
Approaching the vaccination booths to receive my 2nd dose.
I was shown the syringe with the amount of vaccine before and after the jab, the empty syringe. By the time we reached home, it was about 1pm. Time for lunch.
I heated up the steamed big bun and fish balls which I bought in the morning and kept aside for lunch.
Yummy fish balls at RM2.50 each.
Steamed big bun (tai pau) at RM6. We shared the big bun.
After lunch and a short rest, I tried to take a short nap.
When I woke up from my nap, hubby reminded me about the spoon experiment. I didn't expected anything but was shocked to see the metal spoon sticking to both my arms with my own eyes! Could this be due to some of our bodies having some kind of static electricity? But one thing I was very sure, the weather was very warm and it could be due to the sweat and sticky arms. Anyone has a better explaination? Or did I become a magnetic woman?
I called to order 3 pairs of fried chicken wing and 1 portion of fried rice.
The portion of fried rice is big and is enough for 2 people.
While hubby went to collect the food, I sauteed napa cabbage and carrot with dried shrimp.
Crispy fried chicken wings.
To end the post, here is a snap shot of an antique cheque writer machine found in the Gopeng Museum.

Update on post vaccination: After 1st jab, I didn't sleep well on the 1st night. After both jabs, there was no tiredness or sleepiness except for the soreness of the arm that was injected.
I received my digital vaccination certificate on MySejahtera app on the same day I completed the 2nd dose.


Many people say, "Who will show us better times?"
Let your face smile on us, LORD.
You have given me greater joy than those
who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.
In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe.
(Psalm 4:6-8, The Living Bible-TLB)

    1. Do take care. Even after having completed 2 doses, we have to take safety precaution by wearing mask, social distancing and washing ourselves after we return home from our outing to buy essentials.

  2. So good food, I got quite hungry of all that.

  3. Oh my 2nd dose was also on 26th! I didn't try the spoon thing until now, reading your post. Nope it doesn't stick now. Are you still 'magnetic'?

    Wow drive-through vaccinations, I learnt something today and can see the benefits. Stadium Indera Mulia is in such funky colours now. Used to be just grey in my time.

    1. Sometimes still stick, sometimes no. Probably its the sticky and sweating skin because the weather is really hot and humid here.

  7. Congrats on getting two doses! Good that you are feeling all ok now. Thank you for showing the drive thru vaccination process. How was the 15 minutes observation carried out? Did you need to park the car there for 15 minutes to wait? Thanks in advance for your reply.

    1. Thank you, Mun. For the 15 mins observation, we were directed to park accordingly. During that time, can honk if help is needed. Once the 15 mins is up, we are given the green light to drive off.

    1. We saw some Whatsapp article showing spoons or metal items sticking to their arms or forehead after having been vaccinated. So being curious, I tried and surprisingly it sticks. Don't know whether I became magnetic or it was due to my sweaty and sticky arm.

    1. Thank you, Ginny. I am relieved that I have completed the 2 doses. Hopefully, there is no need for a 3rd dose or a booster jab. We will continue to wear our mask and face shield whenever we have to go to public places.

  15. I like the yum puffs. We don't have them here in USA. Both my daughter, daughter in law and I like yams. We have some clouds in our area which makes it a bit cooler than expected. Hopefully it won't get so hot late week. I hope you continue to feel good after your jab. God bless!

    1. Thank you, Grandma Beckyl. I am a great fan of yam. The place of the jab is still sore and feeling slightly itchy. Hope it will all go away soon.

    1. I hate shots too but this time I am glad I was brave enough to see myself given both the vaccine shots.

  21. Well that is over and done with for now, your jab -- what vaccine did you have?
    Was amused at them showing you the vaccine in the syringe before and after, they obviously don't think the public trust them or am I wrong?
    Love the look of those yams..

    1. I had the Sinovac vaccine. There were some complaints of people being given empty shot. So to avoid any more complaints, they have to show the public before and after.

  22. I like your metal spoon experiment. Now that you hav proved it, I know it is not a hoax. I had my 2nd dose on Sunday and feeling more brave to venture outside. Glad that your 2nd dose went fast and smoothly. Dim sum breakfast looks goo, I haven't had much since lock down so it is tempting to get some this week.

  26. Sounds like a great day all around. Some people can balance the spoon on the ends of their noses, i've seen it done as a party trick.
