My first night shift came along just after my previous post! heh. (But sorry lu, that I couldn't go look for carol's present with you). Time passes very quickly in a&e; it's almost like watching a movie, only better because it's live and real. Just did a 4pm-2am thing ytd, and i'm really enjoying it. My poor saturday was gone, but I'd probably have wasted it slacking around at home anyway. Our last tutor on the list is great! Maybe that's why they assigned us 4, becos at least half of those will turn out to be bad. haha.

Carol's bday party was a lovely ending to a stressful week. It was so much fun with the girls; and I've not felt so happy in a very long time. Being with you all again really brings back memories of us 5 years back, chatting and laughing and picking up from where we left off. Don't seem to have as much fun with friends in med, it's just different somehow. Carol's little cousins are so cute, the pinata was great fun. They were so infectious, I think i was almost as happy as all the kids when it finally broke and there was a huge downpour of sweets and chocolates! :)

Realised that all my entries are sad/angry/whiney. Most anyway! I really like this song, and I thot I'd share it. Brings about so many thoughts, and im jus too tired/lazy to pen it all.

p.s It's from some crappy website. probably has funny bits of errors.

I'm 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I'm 22 for a moment
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

I'm 33 for a moment
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way
A family on my mind

I'm 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there's still time for you
Time to buy, Time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live

Half time goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...

I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this

When you've only got a 100 years to live.

It's Very difficult to prioritise when Everything Needs To Be Done at about the same time. I'm going to be a mad woman this week and next. As usual, the Dean's Office (my absolute best friend) has scheduled a case conference 3 days before the pharmaco ca and 5 of us from sgh have to selected to do a presentation. I can't believe I'm so lucky! blah.

Can't wait to do night duty. Boo, one of my tutors is a sh*thead. He's almost like my previous tutor who was MIA the Entire posting. He's right there but he refuses to take us. Can irresponsible pple like that stop screwing up our postings????!!! please???!!!

In case I forget

16Nov'07: Family Med. end of posting test
4Dec'07: Pharmaco test
15Dec'07: Emergency Med. eopt
2Jan'07: Patho test + cofm write-up

It was a good weekend after the fam. med test :) lust, caution on friday, shopping with cho on saturday and family time on sunday. I made dinner for them and it turned out bad (so disappointing) but at least i learnt how to use the oven. haha.

Emergency med is starting tmr! Pretty excited. Plus I get to go to the fire station on 2 nights! Plus I get to go to BISHAN fire station which is of walking distance from my house. Which is a pretty damn good change from travelling so much during fam med to jurong, sengkang and bedok. YAY!

It's too much trouble locking a blog which 8 friends know about and maybe 2 pple/mth stumble upon. heh.

The following was written in an online student publication of my sch. Pls do not ever think that i wrote it even tho it's here... it's even more annoying than the most whiney of my posts.

The Medicine faculty

So, you think our future doctors are all serious and non-scandalous? You’re clearly mistaken.
The Medicine (Med) faculty has one of the highest rates of intra-faculty couple-hood. This is probably because of the sheer amount of time they spend together, peering over cadavers or mugging in their insanely quiet library - truly an alternative sense of romance. And yes, it helps that many of their events like their annual Dinner and Dance are also sponsored by the SDU (Social Development Unit). It smacks a little bit of inbreeding and given that these people are doctors, they should know that’s not the brightest idea in the world. However, given their tight schedules (with a different timetable each week), it’s a great rarity that anyone even ventures outside the faculty.

Whoever wrote that stuff needs to rid him/herself of such immature and insensitive thinking. Seriously, that paragraph of words strung together is totally uninformative, unimaginative and unoriginal. I believe students of other facs are more interested in reading about a piece of truth, rather than the reproduction of bits of stereotypical labels of med students, peppered with some effort at sarcastic humour in between. (or are they not?) Surely people of other faculties have better things to do than attack medical students in a sch publication? (or do they not?).

I'm pretty sure any non-med person would be annoyed by my intentional insinuations that all non-med pple are shallow and superficial; well, that article was ten times worse.

And just to get the facts straight, I believe that dnd and medicamp are the only events that sdu sponsors. The moron can't even gather accurate information for his article, and he thinks and writes like one. Poor him.

P.S i highly doubt the ability of the author to define the word inbreeding. But of course, that could be yet another clever attempt at humour. And my non-med friends, pls dun be offended :p
