happy birthday!
now that i'm on leave, and temporarily feeling purposeless in life after catching the elusive burglar mouse, shall write a little about 7th July. finally got a chance to celebrate my hubby's birthday. forced him to take a day off work for this!the day started with a good nite's rest, and waking up at 9 plus, or was it 10am. and we slowly trudged out for the day's adventure, starting with brunch at victor's kitchen. nice little dim sum place, with the loveliest milk tea. it's nice, cold and thick! they cool the teh by putting the cup in a bowl of ice rather than pouring ice in it. whee!
and then i finally managed to get hubby to go for his haircut despite numerous threats to cut it myself. yay! went around shopping in the meantime. some things that i saw in orchard: the newly opened LV shop in ION orchard. damn big and damn scary. scary price tags and scary erm, pple in it.
found myself a nicer place to shop in DFS, though still expensive but the numbers don't look so astronomical, and there is a massive sale going on there! muahaha.
next up was 'transformers' at lido. i'm not a transformers fan, and the previous rendition was so loud that i left the cinema with a headache, but this is much better! and the theatre is half empty as well. :)
now i'm feeling a little lazy to blog about the rest of the day, but in short it was dinner at melt the world cafe, and a trip up the singapore flyer. best part of it was that we got the whole capsule for the 2 of us! complete with the signature cocktail and nuts. haha. cheap thrill.
back to mouse hunting!

merry christmas everyone
keep christmas with youmy favourite christmas carol.
When Christmas time is over and presents put away, don't be sad
There'll be so much to treasure about this Christmas day and the fun we've had
So may happy feelings to celebrate with you
And, oh, the good times hurry by so fast,
But even when it's over there's something you can do to make Christmas last
Keep Christmas with you
All through the year,
When Christmas is over,
You can keep it near.
Think of this Christmas day
When Christmas is far away.
Keep Christmas with you
All through the year,
When Christmas is over,
Save some Christmas cheer.
These precious moments,
Hold them very dear
And keep Christmas with you
All through the year.
Christmas means the spirit of giving
Peace and joy to you,
The goodness of loving,
The gladness of living;
These are Christmas too.
So, keep Christmas with you
All through the year,
When Christmas is over,
Save some Christmas cheer.
These precious moments,
Hold them very dear
And keep Christmas with you
All through the year.
almost 2/3 done with HO ship. i had my fair share of ups and downs, but whatever it is, i'm always grateful for all the help and encouragement, no matter how small it may seem. bless those who have shown their kindness to me. and i'll do all in my ability to pass in on. :)

$$$
hello to whoever that's still reading there. lots of things happening in my life last month. in short1. officially graduated
2. took the first step to pay off the whopping loan.
3. getting engaged to the most wonderful guy on earth
actually quite uneventful ah. work has been ok. great colleagues, nice patients, but i still hate to go on call. there's always a sensation of impending doom, esp when i'm ho4. sigh. thankfully there's SIP students who really helped a lot in lightening the workload.
hmm, the thing that's on my mind the most now is how am i going to pay off my study loan which at this point of time seems to be an astronomical sum. sigh.
my bunch of friends throughout the 5 years of med school
our 1am dinner when i'm post call. :)

blogged!
now i'm blogging at a rate of once in 2 months. atrocious i know. well. that's cos most of the time i have no time to blog, or i'm just too lazy to do something about it.halfway thru med posting. had a great time in renal. learnt much more than i can imagine. had great colleagues, and great bosses. bosses who actually care about patients and care about their subordinates. when i become a boss next time i want to be like them too.
over the last few days, i've been grappling with the news of old sir's unfortunate accident. been popping in at burns. until the i got news that he didn't make it. although working in hospital has somewhat made me a little numb towards events of mortality, i think this particular death struck me real hard.
let me talk about sir first. he's a person that i have a lot of respect for, although i have to admit initially it was more of fear. this accident is a really big blow to sir. i'm amazed at how sir is bravely taking everything in his stride, and taking control of the situation. even the plastics pple who are taking care of old sir were really impressed at how calmly sir is pulling through this tough time, making all the important decisions, and i can see that the doctors and nurses have a great degree of respect of sir too. i just hope that our presence would have given sir some form of encouragement.
i think a big part of sir's character, and the way he handles things, a big part of it must have came from old sir. he was definitely a great man, that has taught his son to be a person that is respected by so many pple.
my colleagues also told me that they didn't believe that old sir's actually 69 years old. he definitely didn't look his age, and he was definitely really fit, cos he could survive for 2 weeks after the accident, when most would have succumbed in a matter of hours. i guess you can call it the little special thing in tkd practitioners, who are strong both physically and mentally.
my only regret is that i was too chicken to pull myself out of ward round to spend some time with sir at sgh after receiving the bad news yesterday morning. feeling really guilty, and feeling stupid.
i have to thank my reg who brought me into burns to have a look at old sir, or else i wouldn't have dared to step into burns at all. and i thank some higher power up there who gave me the courage to talk to sir, despite the fact my usual first instinct when i see sir is to run away.
i guess sir can take comfort in the fact that, he's not alone during this trying time, and that our thoughts are with him, and will support him through this difficult period.
and to the person who started this blog, shame on you who took advantage of the situation to promote his services as a financial consultant. it only shows that you have no respect for Mr Tan at all, and you are just showing how ignorant you are.

preparing for the battle
going for my third call tml. i used to be terrified of going on call, and i still feel terrified, but at least now i'm looking forward to a great learning experience everytime i go on call. after going thru 2 calls, i'm slowly picking up the momentum and confidence in managing patients. i don't get pre call depression now. cross fingers.wish me luck.
351 more days.

360 days left
after 5 days of work, i'm feeling tired already. this is really bad, considering that it's only the first week of work, and DIM is supposedly quite slow paced. sigh. i guess it's the hell call that made this whole thing so terrible. i worked for a grand total of 35.5 hours. i ate half a pack of duck rice, scrambled eggs and a chicken pie, and a cup of hot chocolate. sigh. i know a lot of pple have gotten worse than me, but i feel sad to get it on sunday, for my very first call.was the longest sunday ever in my life. but otherwise work is great. the workload, the mad relatives, ill patients, impossible bloods and plugs, sigh. but the nurses are fantastic, and i like my MO's, everyone has been really understanding and helpful. as nice as they are, it's still necessary to perform up to a certain standard. really dunno where i stand now, but i hope it isn't too bad in the eyes of my colleagues la.
some interesting things i found:
- i don't have to bring money to work, cos i either have no time to eat, or i'll just end up eating the food they provide at teachings or dept meetings. sian.
- even a 1 buck bubble tea on my way home can pick up my mood. hehe. whee! so by right i have to bring 1 buck to work.
- the quiet time during breakfast on your own after a call, is really quite therapeutic. and hot chocolate is really like a tonic for me.
boohoo. another mad day tml. growl!
