Books. Roots.

Going back to the roots.

Visited Kinokuniya that day, after a long hiatus,
which reminded me of how long I haven't touched Chinese literature.

I don't know.
There's just something about the Chinese language,
somehow able to convey
certain concept, certain emotions, certain ideas
in a sophisticated manner
that I couldn't seem to find in other languages.

*love!*

Late arvo

Cottage

Lazy late afternoon,

warm winter sun.

I want a cosy lovely place like this.

Someday.

Sleep

Friday, July 29, 2011

Cosy

I've been taking little naps more in my car
a lot after hospital lately.

Tired~~~

Yes!
End of the weekdays.

Sleep in tomorrow!
Woo! Weekends!!!

Exit

Thursday, July 28, 2011

...NOT!

Why is this hard?
Why does it have to be difficult?

Or maybe it's just me?

It doesn't need to be like this.

I'm not looking for an exit route.

I'm really not.

Gold

Wednesday, July 27, 2011

Pot of gold!

Despite feeling so tired these days,
I'm actually enjoying the term.

Somehow, feeling more useful in the midst of busy-ness.
You know, not just another random medical student who only slows the team down.

So how nice it is to see rainbow shooting out of the hospital!!!

If only I could find the pot of gold inside.
HAHA~~~

Seriously, I'm doing some of the work of an intern, don't I at least get paid?
On the contrary, still need to pay uni fees.
Hmmph~~

Geriatrics

Tuesday, July 26, 2011

SOBSOBSOBSOB

My 108 year old patient passed away.
I'm kind of happy for him, in a way.

x

We discharged a relatively healthy 99 year old.
Amazing!

x

The oldest on my list now is a 93 year old.
But it's not looking too good.

-----------------------

Yeap.
It's definitely more of a geriatric term than general medicine.

Sun!

Monday, July 25, 2011

My bag makes my ass look big. LOL~

The sun! The sun! The sun!

You're sorely missed!

Blurred focus

Sunday, July 24, 2011

Feeling blurry?

It feels kind of surreal,

seeing people walking by underneath,
wondering what they are thinking,
who they last had dinner with,
what do they work as,
where are they going next,

through my phone camera lens,
through these glass panels,
through my fleeting mind.


Surreal.
A word I've been associating with a lot lately,
and still getting used to.

Surreal.

KFC

Saturday, July 23, 2011

YEAH...

Woohoo!

Conventionitis/

old people germs/

After bloody long 2 weeks!

Hot & spicy KFC,

Hide

Friday, July 22, 2011

Yummy food,

.........announcements?!


Oh shit!
Can I hide myself somewhere?
Please?

Report

Thursday, July 21, 2011

Hehe...

*****NERD ALERT!*****

I know it's lame,

but I spent most of the day

laughing inside about this CT formal report.

"Based on the CT scan performed 60 years ago..."

???????!!!!

As if CT scan exists that time!!!!

LOL~~

Day. Night. Lights.

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

Between day and night. Lights.

Sometimes,
hectic days can just rush by,
and the only little joy I get
is from the sky.


But, how nice!
At least it's there all the time,
just waiting to be discovered.

Joy. Love.

Tuesday, July 19, 2011

Frost!

Little joy in life of the day:

Opening my car door and 

hearing the crunching sound of thick frost.

---------------------------------------------------

Little reminder of love of the day:

The cheeky face dad had 

splashing water onto the frost on my windscreen, 

out in the cold, when he didn't have to, 

while I try to keep warm inside the car.

*Grateful*

Dislike winter.

Monday, July 18, 2011

Run!

Rain, thunderstorm, gale-force winds, snow, frost make the winter even more annoying than usual.

Hmmph... =/

Bitter Medicine

良药苦口

I'm still sick
from
conventionitis,
or
old people germs.

Or just flu.


Let's see whether this work.

*sniff*
*cough*

Clip

Saturday, July 16, 2011

Heart is on the left side.

My cute youngest brother 

came back from work today,

with this!

(He stole; made by some drug company)

And we both went GAGA

over some cute little

paper clip!

Kawaiiiii~~~

*LOL*

I love my brother. 

End/Begin

HP! HP! HP! HP!

The end....
&
....the beginning.

Corn

Thursday, July 14, 2011

Yellow

You can sort of see the dry skin of my thumb,
a result of too much handwashing
aseptic technique
between patients in the hospital.

Not very nice looking, eh?

So I'm just glad to indulge on
my lemon-flavour sweet corn
while on a shopping spree
after a short easy day.

weeeeeee~~~~

Another step forward.

友

I passed my last ever university exams today!!! =)

Still on the right track to start internship next year.

And look out world,

another billionaire in the making in Vietnam or India or Indonesia!

On a serious note though,

I would not be here without

my colleagues,

my friends,

my 挚友,

my ともだち!

YAY~~~~

Purpose

Tuesday, July 12, 2011

More to learn...

Suddenly it struck me,

that I no longer

study 

for exams,

but

study

to be a better

doctor.

Exhilarating.

But also

scary.

6 more months to go.

Eek!

Heat

Monday, July 11, 2011

I need you!

Brrr....

So cold.



Heater!!!~~~

*love*

Care

Samples

Had a big week.

And I'm grateful that people do care about me.
One way or another.

Blessed. =)

Brunch

Ah~~~

Nothing's better than

a great brunch

in a cosy little cafe

under the sun

with the important people

after a big night out.

*love*

Party

Friday, July 8, 2011

Blur

Probably the biggest party I'd ever gone to.
Ever.


While it was a great night,
thank God that
it's the one and only,
the first and the final time.

Shit.

Far out.

Distract

Thursday, July 7, 2011

You're funny.

Somehow,

caught myself 

staring into this funky looking coffee card,

in an effort to

forget about the incredible amount of

sick old people

from hospital.

RESPITE~~~

Costumes

Wednesday, July 6, 2011

Process

This is the preoccupation of the week.

Epic ninja turtle costumes await!!!!

Career

Tuesday, July 5, 2011

Steady income awaits. =)

This time.

Finally.

Hello!

Monday, July 4, 2011

This time, I look like buildings. xD

Hello, 

back to reality.

It all starts again.

Clouds

Sunday, July 3, 2011

Clear outlines - This is what I could only see.

I drove around the neighbourhood for fun, 

completely satisfied, chasing clouds.

Viet Food!

Saturday, July 2, 2011

Tomato rice + crispy duck

After living here for 4 years,
it suddenly hits me:

I'm surrounded by an abundance of cheap delicious Vietnamese cuisine!

幸福啊！~

R.I.P.

Botany Bay

Death always hit us hard.
Even more so when someone you know is going through hell.
