GS [Sunday March 11th, 2012 at 5:30pm]  I really forgot how much I enjoyed this specialty. But I really do! My body hasn't got used to the taxing schedule - the early hours and late days, night calls. But I enjoy the content, I love being in the OT and I've always loved talking to patients. Now that we are doing an SIP style with patients under your care, I finally know what it means to know your patients well- from their medication regime to how much is coming out of their drain sites to ordering appropriate tests. One of the patients under my care makes the early mornings worth it - he remembers my name and never fails to thank me every single day for coming down so early. Remembering your name is a big deal for a lowly medical student. And the lack of wearing a labcoat makes all the nurses suddenly call you doctor, which is something I constantly cannot get used to. Suddenly, you are more grown up than you think you are. The best part is of course being in the OT. :D   I don't know yet, it's still early days but I'm sure I will find out soon. They say it's a hard life, not good for girls, the MO says. But I'm sure if my heart is there, and higher powers deem it's for me, there will be a way for everything that is meant to be yours. :) 3 more weeks, but I want it to be longer! I really hope my body gets used to it haha. It is hard when your eyes are permanently ptosed at the end of the day. would rather burn for you

Teenage dream [Tuesday February 28th, 2012 at 7:46pm] Just had to miss out on free tickets for the boyband extravaganza happening today because noone is free to go with me :'( hahaha. Considering I didn't even think about going when I saw the advert :p But got me thinking that I was a really silly little boyband groupie when I was in my early teens, buying all the albums and "Lime" magazines since primary 6 and listening to the songs so often I did not even need the little booklet of lyrics to know them by heart. And how to me, this man who shall not be named because I will possibly die of shame if anybody knew was the epitome of heartthrob. Now, I am just, what was I thinking, really? Was it the centre parting that attracted my heart so? Haha. Clue: A1. Missing out on that "heartthrob" today. So close.  Haha, but amazingly I had girlfriends who were just like me. And that's a saving grace because who else will sing along with me, even much later in life when some admittedly cheesiness was supposed to be wiped out of our minds and replaced with more "grown up" music and useful knowledge. :) That said, I still love you westlife and blue. Always! And n sync's this i promise you will still be my wedding song. And I'm saying this really very unabashedly hahahaha you have permission to punch me.  This has been one frivolous blog post. :p In other news, looking up possible cities in the vicinity of switzerland that I can visit, and though I may not look or seem happy to go, my heart is fluttering with concealed excitement at seeing new places, having an adventure, and meeting new people! :) Hope electives go well first though.  would rather burn for you

play//house 2011 :) [Sunday December 11th, 2011 at 12:46pm] Felt like finally blogging properly due to play//house excitementzzz! It was amazing really, felt so happy I was a part of it however small. Just being part of something big and with so many wonderful people was a joy. :) It was a culmination of so many practices for just a short few minutes. But getting there meant sacrificing many weekends and getting many bruises. But practices were fun, and even right down to waiting around htht-ing or talking nonsense. Kudos to the amazing lighters people who had to sew, go for even more practices and dance in the dark, but it turned out so beautiful y'all should be so proud cos we were! Even though we were backstage then, couldnt really rein in the excitement and all of us were cheering like mad along with the audience. :) Really enjoyed dancing the ones I did, even if my sexiness level for one of them is probably a negative. But the choreos were really good, thanks to juli who's so full of talent and drive. Really think she's an amazing person. Maybe my very own juli (little cousin) will be that awesome hahaha. :) All these experiences were made even sweeter because we won best play and the shield and the awesome props won best set, and victory is always sweet. Enjoyed cheering like mad. :D like love-tofu says, our batch is awesome hahaha. Everyone working on this was so great, including the backstage people, lights and sounds and right down to my friend the lorry driver who made 10 trips ferrying the props. :) Really happy to be a part of this magic. Feels slightly melancholic that next year will be our last, but determined to be a part of it again. So much fun, definitely a highlight of med school and a befitting end to our m4 year. :) 2 would rather burn for you

rhythm of love [Saturday March 12th, 2011 at 7:21pm] My head is stuck in the clouds, she begs me to come down Says "Boy quit fooling around" I told her "I love the view from up here Warm sun and wind in my ear We'll watch the world from above as it turns to the rhythm of love" We may only have tonight But till the morning sun you're mine all mine, play the music low and sway to the rhythm of love this song has been stuck in my head for the past few days. probably because its ddrick the HO's ringtone, and his phone goes off pretty often. (understatement) haha and it was playing during the credits of no strings attached. midnight movie after the gs get together where i conclude that surgeons are chronically crazy probably because their working lifestyles are just as insane. :) haha. i have realized lately the increasing importance of learning towards being good functional doctors and even less and less the magnitude of grades. i just want to know what to do when someone needs me, and the confidence to do something. and move from there. surg eopt coming up, better chiong this 2 weeks. :) surg's been fun but time simply moves too fast for me. photos w the sixers make me smile. we're quite a crazy bunch, 6-8 years on, we're still trying to jump on top of each other and make stupid jokes befitting only of 14 year olds. haha. 7 would rather burn for you
