today i went to lee sheng jie's autograph session! :) haaa i'm like 21 and this is the first time i actually went to some idol autograph session. thnx to my sun you - chekwun haaa
no la.. thnx for bringing me to my 1st ever such session and i was actually impulsive enough to buy the cd on the spot and got him to sign for me :)

i was thinking when will i ever get a chance to see a singer that i kinda like and get him to sign an album of his? so i just bought it la.. hee but i onli had a dollar on mi, and even aft cw emptied his wallet we onli had 17.70 and the cd cost 18bucks.. where is 30cents when u needed it? haha but well i bought it in the end anyway w the help of an atm.

now i'm listening to the cd.. let mi find my fav song frm it n try to upload it later la :)

today i spent a grand total of 9hrs? at j8.. went shopping w jialin for py's present and participated in the surprise bdae party the yunnan pple were planning for her.. jl's the mastermind haa :) glad it turn out well.. hope she enjoyed herself! hafnt seen everyone in such a long time.. good to meet up again.

mi n cw spent hrs waiting haa at mos at ajisen.. cause aft leeshengjie we had nothing much to do. haa oh well it's worth it since the surprise came thru, rite?

n i was trying to recall my meeting w celebs occasion.. think there was a daniel chan last time when i was doing com service w nkf, then there was serene's ah dih moment w energy, then there was jay's concert tt i went w carol and now i actually shook hands w lee sheng jie.. haaa he looks q pleasant when he smiles :D n he's voice is q a comfortable listen i must say..

for serene

today mi n py went to watch the lake house. I wanted to watch it since it came out but couldnt find the time. glad i did.. it's such a sweet n romatic show. Although I kinda know the whole story since i watched to korean one some years back.. but i still enjoyed it.

frm my fav actor/actress.. sandra bullock's my fav actress since i can rem. It's her eyes. I love her eyes.. like how alex described her with her long brown hair, and those gentle unguarded eyes.. or something along these lines.

She has this air around her that I really like.. i think she has a very comforting look.

keanu reeves really charming too. in all his shows, he's my fav aft bradpitt.. and they look so compatible.

oh well n the story felt closer at heart w her being a lonely doctor, keeping to herself alot.. and her senior telling her to get as far away from the hospital as possible on her days off, to somewhere where she can be most like herself.

i wished i had a place lidat.

anyway i enjoyed the movie. he waited. he did. :)

and thnx to py who accompany me shopping, i now have a new big and sturdy bag and 2 new pairs of shoes for clinics :) yea

end of medicine posting.. surg on monday..

i know i really should be studying right now because i dont wanna fail my MCQs
but i dont noe
mayb i'm just tired, mayb i haf a headache, had i impending sore thoart and i feel drained.
ok aft this i'll study
w no more distracting thoughts

read a dear fren's blog
and it suddenly hit me tt yea medicine posting is coming to an end.
yea i noe it's abit too early to reflect abt it b4 the final tests on fri
but well since i'm at it.

i'll miss the plants there. there's this really pretty plant behind the cafeteria w white flowers..
gotta take a pix of it
the tree w the slopping trunk supported by a little stump tt tempts me to kick it off
oh well dun wan anything to haunt me so better dont
there's the long green path to the busstop i walk by everyday
there's the overhead bridge, if i'm abt halfway n the bus reaches the bus stop.. i can catch the bus if i run

the people
my tutors are a fantastic bunch really really nice
dr sum - he's calm and kind demeanour
dr azman - who stimulates us to think on our toes
dr lim - whom i learnt most abt a doc's day2day duties by following her rounds
dr wong - whom i was afraid of at the beginning, but turned out to be the most comforting and encouraging tutor i've got
dr tan - i felt tt i always learn tons from him, a very pleasant man who wears pooh ties but i respect him alot.

my spot at the cafeteria every morning.
the tehping or moutain dew to wake me up
the auntie at the cafeteria.. who ll sweep my area everyday.. and then go tie her hair in the toilet just like me (sometimes we do it together)
the patients
mr c is finally discharged, i'm so glad for him
mr r became more cheerful
so many many more pple i've met in these 7 weeks
sip students like eugene and deborah who helped us and taught us so much
the nurses, who we get to know
sarah and fidah!
MOs HOs reg consultants we met.. :)

today, when i was standing in the ward waiting for my examiner to appear, i was looking at all the docs busy at work
i suddenly saw my end pt or mayb my beginning.
n it hit me tt the process of learning as a medical student is a v long one and we'll never stop learning.. getting there getting my mbbs is my short term goal for now.. and whether i get there w/o glitches or take a longer route.. it really aint tt impt rite?
because eventually i'll get there and start off from there.

gotta get gifts for our tutors i think
gotta get our log bks signed
gotta compile the writeup marks and get them back
gotta arrange for a rheumato tut w dr ng
gotta find a new cg rep

haaa i wont say i'm elated but i'm glad to b off duty soon
it's been fun w my CG1.. n yea no matter wat mean things i say to them abt not wanting to meet them next time, i'm actually looking forward to 8 more wks w them.

altho i always complain at AH
it's lack of toilets for my poor bladder,
it's high temp in the wards
it's lack of pts w signs
etc etc

i feel tt i haf benefited from this posting. really learnt abt stuff, met pple i wont forget, and yea it's a good start la hopefully for more fun postings to come.

MCQ~*

on my way home today aft med test frm ttsh, i already thought of wat i wanna post

i passed.
so 1 test down, 1 more to go.
and i wanted to say today has been a good day.
i met a new friend, haa the auntie in charge of the level 1 toilet.
i met her when i arrived at 8+ and tied my hair up
i met her again when i went to pee before my test
and i met her again aft my test..
we spoke on all 3 occasions and she's really a nice lady :)

then i had my test.
my examiner, dr tan is really a very nice man.
a very kind examiner, and i felt it was more like a teaching session, because he debriefed me, pointed out my mistakes, and even brought be bk to ellicit subtle signs tt i didnt pick up. the pt had cerebellar signs with slight clumsyness when he did the dysdiadochokinesia (?spelling) which i missed.
but all in all i learnt q abit.
my long case was q jialat.. i was v flustered because of poor communication with the uncle who's abit hard of hearing. and i kept repeating peripheral nephropathy haa
i didnt feel tt i did very well, but at least he said i passed.
better buck up for mcqs!

another good thing tt happened.
when i reached my lrt stop i saw a little boy w a hugh pushtrolley filled to the brim, he was just abit taller than the trolley
and the lift was under repair.
she he just stood there, looking sadly at the terribly long flight of stairs, back at his trolly and at the lift that wont work.
and i asked if he needed help.. the both of us manage to lift the trolley and walked down the stairs together :)
glad to be of help.

but my sunny day had nimbostratus clouds floating in.
it had always been there in the distance, but i see it all so clearly now.

this was us too.. when we learn gataguruma (for green belt grading i think) haaa :D 8 of us! :) miss those days man. 

now that i'm starting to freak out < 48hrs before my end of posting test, i was suddenly reminded of my judo days.. :) this is us after J2 training camp.. i think this was the last day of the camp, look at the bandage on xy's ankle and metatarsophalangeal joint. everytime i'm in extreme pain/stress i'll tell myself tt if i can survive judo training i can survive anithing. haaa like when i went for a tooth extraction last time. oh well.. mr eng said b4, there is nothing to fear except for fear itself.. y i'm so freaked? just do it man! n he says while u r slacking away all ur opponents are training hard.. yea better keep tt in my mind when the next posting starts. haiz ll i be ok? i hope so la. feeling all nostalgic suddenly too. drank moutain dew today, it's my drink when i'm tired (100+ is the next on my list).. well i'm getting out of pt, in summary i'm rather stressed now, feeling all nausea and queasy but i think i'll be fine. psyching myself up just like before a match. our team of green belts went to fight a team of brown belts w/o fear rite? :)  

Cinema Paradiso - Josh Groban

Se tu fossi nei miei occhi per un giorno
Vedresti la bellezza che piena d'allegria
Io trovo dentro gli occhi tuoi
Ignaro se magia o realta

Se tu fossi nel mio cuore per un giorno
Potresti avere un'idea
Di cio che sento io
Quando mi abbracci forte a te
E petto a petto, noi
Respiriamo insieme

Protagonista del tuo amor
Non so se sia magia o realta

Se tu fossi nella mia anima un giorno
Sapresti cosa sento in me
Che m'innamorai

Da quell'istante insieme a te
E cio che provo e
Solamente amore
(bis)


If you were in my eyes for one day
You could see the full beauty of the joy
I find in your eyes
And it isn’t magic or loyalty

If you were in my heart for a day
You would have an idea
Of what I feel
When you hold me strongly to you
Heart to heart,
Breathing together

Protagonist of your love
I don’t know if it’s magic or loyalty

If you were in my soul for a day
You would know what is inside me
That I fell in love
At that instant, together with you
And what I sense
It’s only love.

happy birthday to my dage aka laoda's laoda/laodada
altho he's 26 already, he's still damn childish.. always irritate mi and we always get into fights together..
better marry him off soon la hahahaa :D
anyway he's someone i've known all my life, and he's FON, just like me!
:) and thnx to him i had KFC to add to my dinner and the choc mint cake from polar which was fantastic!!

無題 - 李商隱

相見時難別亦難﹐ 東風無力百花殘。

春蠶到死絲方盡﹐ 蠟炬成灰淚始幹。

曉鏡但愁雲鬢改﹐ 夜吟應覺月光寒。

蓬山此去無多路﹐ 青鳥慇勤為探看。


今天 ah zui 跟我在談喜歡的詩﹐ 我跟每個人說那首詩叫 <<無名>>。﹕P 是我搞錯了﹗其實是<<無題>>。
不知從什麼時候開始﹐就很喜歡它﹐也從來沒深入了解過它的含義﹐只知道很喜歡念﹐很喜歡聽﹐尤其是前面四句。沒想到看了某網頁的賞析﹐更喜歡了。
