Watching the world go by....

Hari ini adalah hari saya menyibukkan diri baca pasal update orang lain di laman Friendster dan Facebook. This is what I discovered:

2 friends got engaged
2 *possibly* engaged to each other (if my deductions are correct)
1 friend is expecting a baby
1 friend had a miscarriage
Quite a few have moved to other countries, looking for green (doesn't have to be greener) pastures

Being here in Kuala Pilah, I sometimes feel that I'm stuck in another world. Barely having time to read newspapers (honestly, kalau bom meletup pun mesti x perasan - unless there are patients admitted to Hosp. K. Pilah) I'm 'cut off from civilization', so to speak.

Reading about my friends make me feel as if time is passing by quickly; and I'm just a bystander watching from the sidelines.

Strange feeling, I can tell you.

Makes one feel left out, somehow.

No, it doesn't mean that I want to go in the same direction as they are going, it just feels like life's happening to them, and mine's just......static.

I need some excitement, quick. Somebody get me a ticket to an exotic vacation somewhere.

Damn..all this idleness is not helping.

My 3^rd week as a Surgical HO

So far, so good. Life’s not as hectic as when I was doing Medical rotation. But somehow, I miss the chaos of being a Medical HO. I guess it’s because I was just starting to get really comfortable doing what I was doing, and then it was time to move on.

Otherwise, I’m appreciating the relaxed lifestyle I’m having right now. We start early, but work so far hasn’t been too bad. Now I have time to sit down and catch up on my reading (the gaps in my knowledge are appalling). Weekends are mine unless I’m on call. I actually have time to go to the cinema, and interact with family members again.

Life’s good, alhamdulillah..

You know what would be absolutely divine? A trip somewhere, anywhere (to a place I’ve never gone before, that is). I see pictures of my friends on Friendster & Facebook on holidays around the world, makes me wish I went somewhere too. Just a week’s escape from normal daily routine. *sigh* Wishful thinking, I know. Oh well…
