dating problem

very weird... it's thursday yesterday and i kept thinking it's friday, repeatedly... after being reminded by my lovely colleagues for more than 5 times within the same hour... i was still telling my patients that they'll give birth to a new year baby if they went into labour yesterday...

is it my time sense or is it me repeating the same mistake without realising it???

grad photos

hi people i've uploaded part of the grad photos to here... still dozens to come... me have no time to do it... be patient...

merry xmas

merry christmas love...

the silent night of labour ward is not silent at all... a dozen of babies hurried to planet earth for their first xmas gifts... many big babies... half a dozen of induction and half of them ended up in Caesarean... i'm pretty happy though.. looking forward to the parties later...

me initiated this xmas gathering in the MO room tonight... six of us oncall doctors gathered and we had pizza and chicken wings... i made this salad and apparently they liked it... we had a happy time chatting... very happy for an oncall night...

me worked with prof lao this week... think he had successfully impressed upon me that OG is not something simple at all... and i'm convinced that it kind of has the beauties of both medicine and surgery... ie there is the thinking bits and the hands on bits... for a minute i thought perhaps i should do OG... it's definitely gone up in my list... isn't it amazing... for many times i'm amazed with things... and there're always someone who'll show me what i want to see... me delighted that i'm exposed to this part of OG... pity i worked with him too late in the rotation... if i was the high risk team intern i may really put it as the first choice...

holiday

hihi... i'm back from holiday... had a whale of a time... i just noticed osaka is actually a pretty good (and expensive) alternative to bangkok where u can spend a long weekend to wander around & eat...

i finally took grad pictures... thanks to my family & friends who're all super nice to come... photo upload in progress...

and i'm back to work... me very lost yesterday... today i assisted six caesarean... no one in the labour ward was so involved in the OT list like me... the anesthetists, the nurses, the surgeons all took turns to work, except the intern, only one single intern... thanks to my buddies for helping out...

just back from department's xmas dinner... we did a very funny drama to entertain ppl... i played many roles... i'm the apple tree, the birdbird, the nurse and a squirrel... i had a very luvly tail made by my buddies... haha... my rabbit has promised me a tail for half a decade and it's still "in progress"...

some pictures i took i japan...
this is the front desk of a hotel in wakayama... note the green box in the middle...

and take a closer look...

revitalized

i nearly did nothing yesterday... on-call gynae on a sunday is amazing... i was done with routine work by 10am... had a heavy breakfast with sharon... surfed the net for 2 hours... went to bed at noon... woke up at 6 when my rabbit kindly visited me... dined with chungchunggorgor... watched the lord of the rings with chungchunggorgor, made plenty of phone calls to date ppl... set a drip... back to bed by midnight... admitted a patient at 4am... slept till noon today... horhorhor...

this lady came in with a painful mass at her perineum at 4 am... the mass was there for few days... why? why 4am??? since i did nothing so i didn't mind waking up to see her early in the morning...

finally, i've completely replenished all my deprived sleep... for months i haven't got up feeling refreshed...

pre-leave summary

the week was well spent... mainly becoz my team had very few patients... less than 5 a day... so few that i almost enjoyed doing ward rounds this week... in fact i had no patient to round one evening... hor...

on call again today... i thought i cover labour ward today... then i found out this morning that i'm actually doing gynae... what a nice little surprise, it's like a little gift early in the morning... hope fully i can take a nap in the afternoon...

20 odd hours later i'll leave this hospital and start my 1-wk leave... that's why i'm in a pretty good mood... it's actually very tricky... it's supposed to start monday and they put me on call on sunday... so my day 1 will be a post call day... they just wanna make a full use of me before i leave... not too nice...

then 40 odd hours from now i'll head to japan... everything is kind of last minute... think it's all sorted out now... pity dad isn't going with me... otherwise i can go without my brain... the trip is short but i believe it's good enough, just to get away...

the only bad thing is i'm not seeing my rabbit during my leave... me call today and he call tmr... then i take off the day after... so have to wait till next sunday... um... i'm sure he can wait but perhaps i can't...

this month is cool... i have plenty of things to look forward to... i have my annual leave... mochung is back... there's christmas and a number of gatherings... really motivates me... i hope it pauses for a while in december... next month i'll be back to q3d call roster and sleepless call nights again...

i luv momochung

mochung is back, again... and he's brought me krispy kreme!!! now there's a krispy kreme store in birmingham... he can always bring me my favourite doughnuts whenever he's back!!! he's finally showed me in action that he did think of me... horhorhor... me so happy and me gave him plenty of kisskiss last night...

an abnormally normal weekend

it's the first time since october that i have a real weekend off... ie. off work from saturday afternoon till monday morning... makes me super excited...

yesterday i went shopping and high tea with family... decorated christmas tree... slept at home (which is an event!)... this morning i went to the peak with parents... took ice cream, took pictures, took a nap... isn't it kinda sad that i almost celebrated for this very very normal weekend...

still trying to find a day for more grad photos with my friends & family... ai... i've taken too little pictures the other day... but it's difficult, i dare not say impossible, to find a day when everybody is free...

it'll be my turn for annual leave the week after next... the good news is mum is also abandoned by her boss so she'll be off during the WTO week... and then mochung is back... hurray... so we're planning a short trip... haven't decided where to go yet... we have a few days only... it doesnt matter, so long as i'm out of here... horhor...
