Typical.
Been hooked on youtube this weekend. Saw Lea Salonga's (now Lea Salonga-Chien) wedding in 2004 video, I LOVE the song she sang to her husband!! *sigh* What a dream. Her husband actually cried (kinda cute actually..who wouldn't?).
Also watched Les Mis in various languages on youtube. Now I SO wanna go around the world and watch all the Les Mis production there is!
(Since $$$$ is not unlimited, I guess there's plenty of room to dream....)
Yana, let's GO!!! We'll sing along every show!!
(Heck, I wasn't even a rock fan before this)
Now THAT'S what I call a reality-tv show full of talents!!
She sends her love and lots and lots of wet kisses!! (Believe me, they ARE wet!)
Had a really good flight home, I got upgraded to Business Class!! (hehe..*gelak evil*)
Been spending time at home with Azureen, she's quite a handful but TOTALLY ADORABLE! Pictures later.
In the meantime, my hp number while in Msia is 017-3575130. Sesape yang nak pegi berpoya-poya, panggillah saya, ye?
Three down, one more to go!!!
OSCE 10-min stations this afternoon.
And then.......habis!!!
*dances a little jig around the room*
Ermm...on a sober(er) note, hopefully I'll do okay...bab2 bercakap under pressure nih yang susah sket...
6 days before I'm free from the shackles of 4th year medicine (to be fair, it's the best year in med school, but it feels too long..). I hope all goes well with the exams. For what I've done for the written exams, the most I can do now is tawakkal and make dua' that I did allright. InsyaAllah.
And in 9 days' time....I'm going home!!! Can't wait!!!!
I know, I know, for a person who goes back at every opportunity I shouldn't be missing home as much as other people. But I do. Can't do anything ab0ut that.
The Azzurri won.
France played well, but they got unlucky. (Zidane : WHAT were you thinking???!!!)
But the most important thing is : ITALY WON!!!! Woooohoooo!!!
I've finished my SSM, 3 weeks before the deadline. Go me!
Well, technically I have. Just have to fix the intro and conclusion a bit, and do my references properly. Have sent the draft to my tutor. Hopefully I won't have to change too much, insyaAllah.
It's a good thing I've finished it too, since I SO have to start revising for my exams. It's next week, by the way. So spending the next 8 days doing nothing but revise and sleep and sleep and more sleep (hey, I need to consolidate my memory okay! Ask any neurologist!)
Neways, had an interesting incident last Friday. Had my revision lectures in Mile End, so after it finished I took the bus back to halls. It was packed, but I managed to squeeze into the back door (it's the long n bendy no. 25 bus with 3 doors). Near the door stood this guy (let's call him Mr X) probably in his twenties, who had weird tics and he was making strange movements and gestures and had conversations with persons only he could see. Since I just finished my psychiatry rotation, I think that Mr. X probably had a schizo-affective disorder, who had not been taking his meds for a while. He kept jumping off the bus whenever the door opened and then jump back in, making Michael-Jackson-like movements.
Moving on with the story, the bus was packed. It was really hot. There were lots of preschool children making lots of noise. I tried to get as far away from the strange guy as I could. At a particular bus stop, a guy with a small dog wanted to get down. Had to push a lot of people, and I had to move closer to Mr. X. And then before the guy with the dog could get down, the door closed and the bus moved again.
So there I was, trapped. With Mr. X right in front of me and the dog near my right foot (I have nothing against dogs, I love to look at them, but you know la, kalau pape susah la nak samak). And Mr. X kept jumping up and down. The dog was restless. I couldn't move.
Then Mr. X suddenly turned around and gave me a smile. I gave him a constipated grin, I think. At that moment, I thought, I'd rather take my chances with the dog. Luckily at the next bus stop Mr. X jumped out for good, as did the guy with the dog...but wait! There was not only one, there were two dogs!! The other one was probably behind me. I was properly cornered. Good thing I didn't notice the other one.
Ah well....
Okay, moving on. Saw 'Pirates of the Caribbean : Dead Man's Chest' today. It was SMASHING!!! Probably the most entertaining movie I've seen in a while. It was so good, I didn't even mind the fact that annoying Keira Knightley was in it (WHAT'S with her and the pouty-lower-lip thingy?? Was that supposed to be sexy??). Amazing effects, really good adventure story, really funny, albeit a dark sequel to the first one, but much much better.
It ran for 150 minutes, just the right length. It didn't feel too short like X-Men 2 (I remember thinking "Was that it?") nor was it too long like Lord of the Rings 3 (I was practically dancing in my seats - my bladder had passed its maximum capacity). Great, great music score.
So if you were contemplating whether or not to go, contemplate no more. GO NOW!!
The downside of it all is the fact that we've got to wait until next year for the 3rd instalment to be released (although they filmed it back-to-back with the second one, kinda like LOTR).
Oh, bugger.
*wails*
whywhywhywhywhyWHYYYYYYY??????????
well, I know why, so you don't have to point it out to me (seriously, DON'T), but even so, I was hoping....
*sigh*
frust giler seh.
heck, I'm not even a football fan usually.
p/s : despite their lost against Portugal, I thought England played well. It was a shame it ended as it did...
You are 28.57% jealous! For this test, the average jealousy percentage is 35.54%.
524789 people have taken this test to date.
This percentage means that : You have very few jealous traits. You rarely over-react and have a handle on the severity of situations. Whatever jealous attributes you do have will not present a problem in relationships, and will sometimes help.
This week's the last week of my Psychiatry rotation.
Had my last ward round last Tuesday. I got to write in the notes again. The SHO was on leave so I took over (hehehe...*gelak evil*).
At the end of the ward round, sat down with the consultant for assessment and signing of my log book.
The consultant was really nice. He actually wrote in my logbook 'excellent social graces'. Well, for my lack of knowledge I have to make up somehow by being enthusiastic.
It WAS a good firm. I'll miss each and every patient there, crazy or not.
It was one of the best rotation I've had this year. I still want to do Obs&Gynae, but I think I'll take up Psychiatry as a special interest.
1) The thought that I'll be home in a little bit more than a month
2) Thoughts of Azureen and my parents' reports of her progress. Video clips of her that I took whenever I was home help a lot
3) That midnight phone call
4) The thought that I'd be seeing that someone after 11 long months
5) My next-door neighbour (also my best friend, my ex-classmate, my ex-roommate), who knows me more than anyone else (in many ways)
That's all I can say.
There are SO many weddings!
Everyone I know got married/is getting married this year!
Is it something in the air? Something in the water?
There are nine so far....I suppose I can expect more.
Don't get me wrong, I adore weddings, and I'm glad that everyone who's getting married is doing so...I wish them all the happiness in the world.
Just astounded by the sheer number, I guess. I'm also painfully reminded of my age...well, 23 (ok ok..24 this year) is not old, but that's about the time pressure sets in, isn't it?
Ok...it's scary.
Being grown-up doesn't seem like a good idea at the moment.
Better be prepared to dodge nosy questions from nosy makciks this summer hols....
Ah Lek was asked to make a sentence using 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10. Not only did he do it 1 to 10, he did it again from 10 back to 1. This is what he came up with... 1 day I go 2 climb up a 3 outside a house to peep. But the couple saw me, so I panic and 4 down. The man rush out and wanted to 5 with me. I run until I fall 6 and throw up. So I go into 7 eleven and grab some 8 to throw at him. Then I took a 9 and try to stab him. 10 God he run away.
So, I put the 9 back and pay for the 8 and left 7 eleven. Next day, I call my boss and say I am 6 . He said 5, tomorrow also no need to come back 4 work. He also asks me to climb a 3 and jump down. I don't understand, I am so nice 2 him but I don't know what he 1.
Had psychiatry lectures today. It. Was. So. Boring! For the first lecture, the consultant was quite pleasing to look at *winks* but even that didn't help save the lecture. Or perhaps it has something to do with the late-night marathon I did...hmm...
After the first lecture, one of my friends wanted to get her ticket to go back home for the summer. Since I knew I was gonna sleep anyway if I stayed, I decided to accompany her. (What?? I was SO going to sleep, and besides, I haven't been to Central London in ages! And they have the lecture handouts online, so it wasn't that bad, was it?)
So off we went, had to go to two travel agents to find a decent deal. After that we stopped at my favourite shoe shop - Clarks!!
The only reason why all my shoes over here are Clarks shoes is because their shoes are some of the most comfortable I've ever worn. And my feet are kinda fussy about shoes. I needed some summer footwear.
I saw one casual wear I've been eyeing for a couple of weeks, so I grabbed that pair in about 5 minutes. Paid for those at the counter, and then my eyes fell onto another pair - oh! They're so pretty!! Tried them on - VERY comfortable heels. Looked at the price. Hmm. It was ok (a little bit pricey but still not too bad) but then I'd already bought a pair. Had to think. Went walking around the shop with the shoes for about 5 mins. Then I felt a bit conscious since one of those guys working there kept looking at me with the shoes, asking if I've made my mind up. So I took them off. Walked around somemore with the shoes in my hand. Ignored the guy. Then I thought "Oh, what the heck" so I marched to the counter and told the cashier firmly "I'll take them".
Now I have 2 more pairs to add to my collection (not that they're THAT many, compared to other people I know, they need a whole cupboard to keep all their shoes!). Mine is just lined up near my door.
So yeah, I've been a little bit naughty today...didn't go for lectures, spent quite a bit...
I promise I'll be very good from now on...
VERY, VERY good.
2 students per firm, and I was assigned to the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (with another guy who's to be my firm partner).
"Where are the beds? Single rooms? Darn, they have it good here"
"Oookay...they are all males.."
"Ermm..why is that guy staring at us from outside the locked office?"
"What IS he doing?"
Mental illness aside, he was a really nice person to talk to. But dear God, I was trying so hard not to giggle or laugh. The other patients were really 'keen' to talk to us too...one guy actually requested to be interviewed.
I don't think I'd choose Psychiatry as a career, but this coming 6 weeks will surely be interesting...
