streets of HCMC a lively bustling crossroads of cars, and more motorcycles than pple u can see, horns not withstanding...lots of little bars popping up everywhere, cheap beer on sale at the roadside...not so much of parisian grace as i would expect..prob the grace of 30 years ago...but lively nontheless

to ale, char and stef, HAPPY 21ST!!
i love party girls!
green tea and deck chairs
you dun need many expensive drinks or spectacular views atop buildings to make for a wonderful evening of sharing...though it would be nice...
a $2 bottle of 1.5litres pokka green tea and some waterproofed deck chairs by the pool do the trick...a testament that company always thrives better than the view...

ho chi minh - dalat - nha trang - hoi an - hue - hanoi
its been an even mix, but truly vietnam i gotta say, the hidden charm..bustling cities with its incessant horning, beautiful pine trees high up in the moutains, green green fields of padi, wonderful beaches, soft sand and clear blue ocean, wartorn tunnels, old school imperial tombs and citadels, yellow buildings a piece of history from the cham dynasty...what more can u get?
but surely nothing beats home, coming back to appreciate how lucky u really are, the comforts of your loved ones...can't beat that man.

supper is the most important meal of the day
as i await the champions league final in 1/2 hour's time btwn arsenal and barcelona, armed with enuff tacos and guacamole and beer to last me thru the match..i sit down and ponder upon the so-called "coming of age".......
reckoned, 21 years of age doesnt seem to have much impact on me physically nor mentally, i mean, other than having to shave a tad more often i really look younger than my 21 years after that brown-yellowish-golden crop's been trimmed off...
yupp, it was apt that i should be 21 the first day i slipped into my newly pressed longsleeve shirts, pleated/flat fronts, my awesome topman ties(be it the striped fat ones or the skinny tie), stethoscope around the neck, and armed with what seemed like a comprehensive knowledge of microbiology, i was all ready for that first day of 'work'.
After 3 weeks, it dawned (FINALLY) upon me that i'm starting to make a difference in others' and of course my life. and that really made me realise i was an adult, with added responsibilities now. never mind the chaufferring of my mum ard, she still pays my allowance.. but, i am able to finally look into that crystal ball of mine and see what it really is like...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
u learn so much from just observing, and seeing how much and how far behind u lack, but each day, the confidence grows, as you practise more and more it becomes less of a chore and more of a habit.
though, i must add, that empathy factor in me has got to show, no point feeling but not showing, and there's a fine line between professonalism and being just human...orite well, i guess enough for so much about 'discovering' myself..i oughta redirect myself back to pre-21 periods..hurhur periods...
no plans yet for june hols! photos from zhongyang are in!
and happy 21sts to all of you out there...hurhur....
i'm hungry, i eat supper! i dun eat breakfast! this is healthy life!
hurhur..food for thought:

hmm...
wah! hmm...after reading dq's blog and seeing his few photos, im dam onz about going to vietnam oredi siah!! somemore heard danang's beaches dam good..wahlao, i wanna go man. anybody wants to go not.
anyway, clinics been pretty orite so far, really scary/nice to see everybody reading up alot so much, kinda reminds me of when we were studying for pros u noe, kinda thing, but i guess thats good, and prolly just the momentum carried over from pros, plus the extra motivation knowing that your career is finally taking off, yes, i noe, i noe, finally doing your bid to save the world, we all know that, we all feel that, and yes, its true, though somewhat cliched, but still very true indeed.
nobody wants to make any mistakes anyway, and 'i dunno' is increasingly becoming accepted as part of our medical student's lingo. better to admit ure dumb than to do something wrong, something i've learnt over the past few days. hmm hmm.. well, that's good anyway, hur...what with the cockups that the medical fraternity as been facing these days, we'd better prove our worth, and make our degree all the more worthwhile...
meantime, i really should get down to reading, CVS 70 pages is quite killa, wahliew, if not for my cgmates, i think now ah, really gone case.
dam tired siah, yeah.

oh yes, it's finally over.
after weeks of hell and fretting over microbes, its finally over. sometimes i wonder why i put myself thru such rubbish, having dropping thinning hair, ulcers erupting in my mouth, having that palpitation once too often in the day, profused cold sweats on my palms and soles and that inability of somnolence at night. if only, if only. after that scare in m1, i still didnt learn my lesson!!
somehow, the situation just seemed to have escalated in m2, though im supposed to have been more mature..haha..luckily for me, the past few wks would have been much worse if it hadnt been for zhong and daniel(dq) around..rain or shine, sunday or monday, they'd be there..ready to answer any queries that i have..not forgetting zhong for going thru staph aureus with me the day before the paper!! wooohoo!
yes well, im going to blog this down and possibly hyperlink to the side bar, to always remind me of what hell i have been thru.
dear hb,
remember how your heart literally sank thru your gut into your testicles everytime u looked at the microb board on the 2nd level? i felt that.
remember how you looked at bartonella, bordetella, brucella, bacillus, bacteriodes, and thought they were all the same?
remember how miserable u were that u almost screamed out at your girlfren..but den u didnt, and that i'm proud..and how u resumed that same ritual a year later, day in day out, wake up go library come home sleep routine..
remember how you couldnt sleep the night before the exam, and woke at 4am to go thru parasites (THANK GOD!) and den u couldnt sleep again 2 nights later..basically making in 6hours of sleep out of 72, well preparing u for the next subaru challenge?
remember how when everyone (esp zhong) started spouting out 'bacillus anthracis.....a case in central london happened this way...any form of anthrax eventually leads to septicemia and death' and dq's "yes! rhodococcus equi..causes pneumonia in the immunocompromised" and u nod wide-eyed in amazement and admiration but at the same time inside your cardiovascular system goes into full steam and cold sweat starts pouring out of your pores again.....
that you could actually not go thru all these if u had been consistent from week (not saying everyday) 1?
remember that.
love,
hb.
---------------------------------------------------------
ok, that said, its been a pretty toned down post-exam 'celebrations' this year, but wait, I CAN'T WAIT!!! ohhh man, for my first nap, my first buffet, my first trip out of this suffocating country in a year!!!!! wooohooooooooooooooo!!!!
mark my words mark, and people, i'm gonna make a comeback.

too much of a breather
i think that's it. the weekend has done its bid to finish me off.
rather too much of a breather, too much time spent under the blankets. its 9.41pm now, and i think i should be off to really kill of microb. there's not much time left, i dunno what im still doing here. there's much to be accomplished..i hope i can...
there's a man u match at 3.55am later, i hope i can stay up and mug till at least that time. and hopefully, i would have fallen asleep and miss the match and wake up intime to drag myself to school. yeah, no time to waste. its microb time. why i stress that...i can afford to put myself under undue stress for the pros, although i should be. neither do i want to get less than mediocre grades anymore. yes, i have a penchant for tripping over at t/f exams, and still do, and there's nothing i can do about. i can only just remember as much as i can and play the 'safe' way. its demoralising many times when u dont get how others can do it when u cant..
okay, off now, no more internet, yes internet, until friday. no more tv as well. its a killer. its school.
