And i am down with a cold

i reckon i just had a bit of fever just now. but my darling has been taking great care of me. forcing bed rest on me if not she was gg to make me bed ridden.

heating up meals, giving me meds, while i wonder what's day and night. and i remember dad said, 'it's always nice to have someone to give u a hand when you are down, that maybe the only reason to share your life with.' well there's no doubt about nicce having someone around, but well there are many other reasons too, to have a companion in life =)

today's got a cold night, and my nose is blocked again. hope the weather holds up well tomorrow, for i am to see flying planes, that i hope will not be grounded tomorrow, for they do not fly in strong winds as well not only in heavy rain.

Thank you darling =)

it's busy isnt it

4th year isnt exactly killing me. but i sorta lose track of time and date. and i have been studying much more thanks to my darling who keeps pushing me on.

it's an interesting experience living with your loved one. you see each other so often, and yet you never get sick of them.

and i am so sad that i have so many photos to process but no time to. i prob will do some before i start studying again.

Good luck to those who are taking their MBBS exams =) yes that includes you Dr Poon.

i had a fantastic time at Warrnambool. For our 9 weeks of O&G, we get to do mentor week. It's a week where u follow a O&G consultant to everywhere he/she goes, to clinics, theatre, and other places like their house. lol. i got to go to a rural place and get attached to the O&G unit there.

that's 6 doctors, including 5 consultants. i was sad that i didnt drive there and took a train. that meant that i had to walk all around. thought the furthest is a 30 min walk. and i got to prob learn more than i had for the past 4 weeks. i stayed in a motel which the doctors kindly sponsered and went to theater and clinic and ward rounds everyday! =)

so i conclude that rural life is actually sucky for internet, but great for learning, and it's a good place to lose weight if u do not drive.

i met a few melbourne uni medical students and they are doing their cardio, respi rotation there with rural. and they have so much knowledge from books, but it was obvious they needed more ward experience which was what they were there for. i attended a tutorial with them and it was fun =).

I think i like O&G

so life is not all about work and studying. sometimes there's play. but when it comes to O&G, it some how seems to be both. i look forward to going to see operations especially.

and i like it that there are more signs that i may actually start to have a direction in my career:

1. I got to suture just 4 stiches and i was over the moon, couldnt stop smiling.
2. i was in the change room with the theatre assistants and staff, and they all agreed that i have the personality and feel of a surgeon
3. i actually like being in theatre and i get a rush of adrenaline

so it seems surgery is getting higher on my list. we'll see about that.

meanwhile, becky and i played baddy with Ezra, Tze En, Melissa. i was so trashed by all of them. their shots struck me with awe. yes awestruck i was. this time, the girlfriend had a bad fall and i have to help her nurse her twisted ankle. think i should buy her a bell soon to call for me. lol

and i am studying much more thanks to the gf pushing me on =) up from my lazy chair to the couch where no computer lies is my fav spot for studying now =) computers are evil.

Good luck to those mugging hard for their final MBBS in singapore. and good luck to those who are overseas for attachments.

Back in Melbourne!

Hey sorry it's been so long since i updated. i am back in melb and starting on obstetrics and gynaecology. Saw my first birth on my 2nd day. it's a lovely experience and the motehr didnt want any pain relievers, including gas! how brave was she!

the love between the father and the mother was so beautiful, how he was always by her side, and giving her back rubs when she is in painful contractions. how he was holding her hand when she was pushing. And how a first time father feels at a lost what to do but is guided by his heart and feelings.

it was lovely.

and i realise i got no time to do up my photos. so i guess i got to try catch up with my work first.

Taiwan and Singapore

Taiwan trip was not bad =) liked the atmosphere, weather, girls (though missed my Becky a lot!), took many nice photos (finally got to take decent waterfall photos).

too bad i didnt get the chance to use the Hot springs it was in the basement of my hotel!

i hope i will get to cable ski this weekend. seems like response from my classmates a bit bad. and i will be working on thurs the Zeco scooters are being launched!

Had a great catch up with Wendy and Damien when they came to Singapore. think they are just leaving for HK! cool holiday for them.

now let the pictures do the talking. photos not to miss:

Taiwan is awaiting

Tmr i leave singapore on a 0830 flight to Taiwan!

havent been to Taiwan since the army daze. and looking forward to the cooler weather. but the crowd i am with is mum and her friends. so i suppose i am more restricted to do what they prefer rather than roam about with young fun stuff. Mm well older stuff can be fun too i suppose. and i got my other girlfriend to take care of my boredom (it's my camera lol)

Hoping that i will be able to have some fun on the trip and go around with a friend rather than me covering my ears trying to not hear the neighbouring rooms of people mm paying for service.

i wonder how much memory cards i need. mm need to get some ebooks in my PDA just in case.

i have uploaded some photos. mm tt sums up what i have been up to. =)

And so i end up working again. and not in a hospital sigh.

wanted to slack this hols but ended up getting stuck with work again.

and its RETAIL again.

so i am apparently selling scooters in front of Shaw house. Well at least it's a cool electric scooter, not some lame stuff, And the pay is wayyy more than usual. So what a way to kill 10 days.

meanwhile the gf just went HK. and i am gg Taiwan!!! i gg Taiwan 31 Jan i think.

toodles.

Back in Singapore

got to drive the first day i came back. but dad's car is really old and i wasnt used to it at all. gve my parents a few shocks here and there. but well it was not bad. clutching was good. just tt my turns were a bit too fast.

fell sick with allergic rhinitis, loads of runnings in the nose, starting to have a bit of a cough. boo

and i got a relative with a brain tumour, gg to see her tmr. hope she gets well soon.

hope this will be a good holiday. maybe gg to taiwan in the christmas period =)

update!

havent posted for a long time due to exams and post exam packing and moving. i am just about settled. and i am glad i have a car now !!!! =)

so finally moving in to the girlfriend's and we are trying to find a housemate for next year. realise the rooms are a little small and the storage space is little. but well it's all worth it. going to miss my old place at St kilda Road. nice apartment albeit pricey one. and my hosuemates there. a bond that i have created.

and so i got a car! it's a second hand Hyundai Getz. 4 year old but 33, 000 kms tt's really low. and well got it for 10K. not the best of deals but well not too bad. and wat's important is that i am happy when i am driving it. yay! and i travelled 100km since Saturday. going all over to polish up my rusty manual driving skills. Stalled a few times in the past few days. But it's getting better.

Trying to go home on coming friday. my ticket is on23rd Dec but i'll try to wait at the airport and see whether i can get on any flights.

At last back to Singapore soon.

And photos are being processed. coming up soon

talk about procrastination. exams tmr. and well time passes by through nonsensical browsing

Battle of the sexes


stop the bullet

the end is near

so 3rd yr med is ending soon. 1 more week of visiting patients. and OSCEs is on 21st, the written paper on the 24th.

so we reflect the year, in our log book. seeing how much or little we have done. and how people are scrambling about to get their log books signed off by the indispensable 5th yr.

studying has not been half as well as i hoped. and i am real scared now. thank god i got good practice along the year and a good gf who teaches me so much, that i think i will survive.

Dad just sent me many strings of chinese well wishes in rows of 4s again =) parents are at Cameron highlands! and i have never been before! lol

i havent really lived up to my own expectations, but i will work hard from now. i hope i keep this promise =)

Currently i got a few frustrations:

1. i am not studying well
2. housing for next year is complicated
3. i am not gg to get to see many beloved friends next year
   

btw, WEP and WPA securities for wifi are now crackable boo. the race between black and white never ends does it.
