spot me! playhouse 06 Posted by Picasa

amazingly, i'm not in this foto..i cannot remember whether i was taking the foto, or whether i was even on the island..being 90% drunk half the time there, i assume it's probably either of those 2. Posted by Picasa

A Well Deserved Break

Ooh Wee!

finally, this weekend was spent catching up with some friends(from medical school), babe and family. hahaa..finally a movie in town, the PRESTIGE, like woah! finally... and yes, IN TOWN! oh god, have i been deprived.

i wouldnt say i haven't been having fun or 'chilling' out in that sense.. beers here, dinners there, plus lots of meetings...tonnes of it actually...

ooh yes, it's not an easy job, but at least, i think, i'm one who works well under slight stress, ooh i stress again, slight stress... gives me a fresh perspective of how much MORE time i seem to have..oh yes, i'm becomng pretty good at time management, but NOT without help from those people around me, those that i love and those that love me..hehe..

ah, the HK Cha chan teng is really not bad, their MACAU iced coffee is keeping me up, therefore the late night. i'm prolly not gonna catch any winks till the early morning.

1 heineken plus 1 shot of danzka vodka, and i'm still very much well awake.

i think i'd better stay off the 1 or 2 beer per night habit or cirrhosis is gonna visit me real soon -chuckles-

in the meantime, it's really good to hang out well with cheang, we've finally got our date(other than those times spent around NUS and dinners at NUH/scicanteen/nusmacs)

time to STEP UP!

recluse.

hello, to e peeps who's been clickin' this page..sorry havent been updating man...

Surg at AH been drainin me for some weird reason i dunno...it seemed like we havent been doin much clearkin' but we DO walk around and stand around ALOT...gosh. there's so much to take in and the only thing i wanna do after work is to just plomp down on my plush red velvety queen sized bed. haha. strange, but very true.

it sucks, the feeling of comfort and homeliness that always comes with the place just when u're about to leave it. argh, gonna miss AH after the next 2 weeks..mainly cos the pple here are just FANTASTIC!

just read some blogs, particularly my old frens from medd and cambodge, seems like we're all feeling the same kind of jadedness man, missing old times and all..yeah strange but true but i used to have so much time infront of the comp checkin mail and going online..hardly do that now and the days just WHIZZ by.

hardly even doing the things that i used to like to do, hardly even have time to catch up with friends, actually i havent at all. ive just been holed up. i've got no time. no, actually, im just too tired. and the weekends fly by too fast.

i need more time.

bianca ryan




sch has begun.

till today, cheang and i still can't imagine ive started m3 proper. it just seems as if i never had any holidays before... though alexandra's a pretty nice place, and reaching early at 7.30am has its perks (the notsoterrible traffic) it's still pretty much a toil having to travel so far...damned you dean's office why do u post pple to extreme ends of the islands..like how peeps in the north always get posted to the west (nuh and ah) and how peeps in the west aka shaun dannyboy hsienmin and zy get posted to the far east at changi..basket...

well..it hasnt all been a bed of roses though they are many at ah, not so much due to the fact that usually gotta stay till 5pm..and the lack of patients to clerk..i guess thats a good thing in a way, not so many sick pple huh. but its hard on us medical students esp when we gotta clerk and present a long case each when he could be gone tmr...

at least got free parking! and on the first day we got thrown into the OT and i scrubbed up while a certain team (4, i think) got to scrub in at brewerkz for lunch. oh, dang! well at least i got to feel a lipoma, presented it and even SUTUREd his wound up in the OT..talk about being thrown into the deep end on the first day man..haha..2nd day was per rectal straight away, and the 3rd was another per rectal!! only a manny keen on doing her virgin asspokin' did i escape being tagged a "3 PRs done in 3 consec. days". oh, and with the world cup, its been nonstop trying to catch up on sleep.

go les bleus!

oh, and did i mention...just a few days b4 i started e first posting proper, i got thrown into action once again..having to attend to this guy who collapsed and had a fit at borders, and no medical personnel was there to assist!! imagine my stunned look as the security guard looked at me and said 'are u a medical student?' i nodded and proceeded with some simple first aid..luckily he was breathin' and all dun need to do cpr..checked his pulse and confirmed with the guard he called the ambulance...phew~ luckily the paramedics came in time..

talk about passion for the job huh, i hardly have enuff time for my other passions..
