Psychiatry 1st day & I had already felt sleepy in class & always "pancing ikan" in class.
Sheesh!
my study mood hasnt arrived!
went to bank to sort out my tax exemption form but I had to get my national insurance number 1st b4 i can do that. damn mah fan!
Hope to get somebody from uni's GP department to be my supervisor for my audit! *keeping finger crossed!*
Had a nice sushi dinner (with Shie,Jiat & Pat)as a big complement today! Feels very bahagia whenever i eat sushi/japanese food! dunno why! maybe just bcos i m "tam chiak" (just like what lili tong said)
oh & i have to mention the gales today. so kuat man until i felt like i was filming Twister !

Got some pictures from my godbrother today..i so want to be at his wedding to witness it all!
Saw pictures of my godmother & godfather(pa)...almost cried.
Every1 is getting older including my own parents. Wished that I was at home helping out with some errands and just to accompany them to watch some taiwan hokkien drama.
I remembered last summer when I was back, my godmum(ma) wasnt happy with the tailor made clothes that she wanted to wear for my godbro's wedding. She said she doesnt know what colour suits her & since noone was free to accompany her to shop for the cloth, she just simply chose it & pa didnt know what's the trendiest colour either. It broke my heart thinking that I couldnt help her out with such simple task. it is not like she NEEDED help but u know I like to accompany them so that they don't feel lonely & felt left out by the younger generations.
Even with my own parents, when I was home I always try my best to accompany them to simple things like seeing the doctor, encouraging them to go for blood tests, going for a walk in the taman, having dinners/suppers at the hawker stall, going to the temple to pray and also to help them to pass some encouraging advices to my brother.
And i didnt do much this summer for my grandaunty *regrets*
I really hate to think that I will be so preoccupied with my job and miss out on simple things like this in life. Grrr!

I will spend my life working & sorting out other people's life (part of my job & I m more than happy doing it)...but what abt my own one?

Had been thinking of moving to england for my training to get down the latitude..a bit too cold here..cannot tahan sometimes. not that it is like an oven in england but i know the weather there r kinder than the ones here. but ppl here is definitely more friendly hands down!

But I might not get the foundation training rotations that I wanted over in england since I graduate here in Belfast, so there are better chances getting the rotations that I wanted here.
I have to choose either career or a new life.

Then again do I want to go back home after 2 years foundation training?
Still dunno. I wanna do my postgrad examinations 1st in UK at least b4 heading on!
Then I m stuck between career and family.

Ok I m thinking too much now. I m not even required to make my decisions now just yet.


Gah! I miss home lah (as usual!)

P.S: On another note, I m glad that a friend has decided to open up to me. u know who u r. I just wanna say "thank u very much" ^.^

Paeds exams SIAP!

8 weeks of continuous motivation & hard work (quite!)...now it is OVER (well almost until we c our results for paediatrics exam next week!)
My 1st long case in my life wasn't as smooth as I wanted it to be...should haf done better lah. it was in that 1st long case in my life that i did my 1st cranial nerves examination in a child.
As i put it I got drilled into the floor, blended & juiced and finally they decide to drink me! Ok i shld stop complaining..at least i didnt get DiGeorge's syndrome (1 classmate got that)! :S
Written paper...wah really hafta thank my classmates and yeepei that helped me with the past years.
Yalar thats my life now study-->exam & this cycle will continue until forever?

Well to b honest, I quite enjoyed myself at paediatrics. I like interacting with children so i guessed it is only right that i like it! Ahh now I will miss those hide & seeks and ticklings, lending my "earphones" (stethoscope) to the kids & kneeling down when i take histories & examinations. None of my friends here haf children so basically i got no chance to kacau the kids unless i go to paediatric ward! haha *evil* i miss my little cousins (including that 2 tai chek lou)
ahhh children..they remind me of simple things i tend to miss out in life sometimes ---> fun, simplicity, happiness, compassion and patience.

Went out with my classmates for dinner & outing today..okla not too bad. still a bit not natural around my ang moh classmates. still cannot understand 100% of what they said sometimes. my ears & brain something wrong!

Moving on, there's a few things i need to settle like my elective (no reply yet) and audit (what topic!) and some other things like buying toilet rolls, vacuum-ing the house and must remember not leave/display more than 2 pairs of my shoes downstairs! hahaha..
badly need a quilt as well..damn sejuk now..and a cute strawberry umbrella (cos my very strong arms broke the current one i had)

thankfully for my long weekends...i shall try to straighten some things out b4 Psychiatry posting starts on Monday! ^.^

p/s: oh i was quite embarassed when my LOUD se7en's Passion ring tone rang when i was out with my ang moh classmates. they must have think I m so ah lian! hahahahaha am i? *i know u r nodding ur head!*
