Baby

Your tiny feet.

Finally met up with some of our family friends today,

and now the total number = plus one!

Welcome to our world, cutey-pie!!

Look

Look |> (Life)

Had a relatively easy week.

Allowing me
to have the time, the energy,
and the mental capacity
to think,
to look back,
to reflect,
about all the things I've come across.

I hate being too busy,
so busy that life just gone by with a blur.

Hate.
Strong word that I don't use often.

Now, to enjoy the weekend!

Overdosing on sleep!!!

Stink

Friday, August 26, 2011

Stinky!

Been 

standing too much

in operating theatres,

walking too much

between patients during rounds,

running too much

worrying about being late,

until this starts to stink!!

Nooooooooooooooo~~~~~~~~~~~

Must find a way to fix it. 

Grr.....

Filo

Thursday, August 25, 2011

"Alien"

Finally tried some Filo food for the first time!!!
And I like it.


But,
the highlight of the day
would have been
the random catch-up
filled with simple yet fitting analogies!!

LOL~~

Love the cake analogy! xD

Orange

Been somehow finishing relatively early this week.

Though by 'early', I still mean 10hrs day.

But at least I get to catch a glimpse of

this

before it disappear.

X-ray

Shunt

I don't know about you...

But I would describe this x-ray as "AWESOME"!!!

Recharged

Monday, August 22, 2011

Brekky

I took a day off today.

Finally had the
chance
&
time
to have proper breakfast
for once.

Battery recharged.

Tomorrow's another crazy day.

Bring it on!

=)

It IS brain surgery!

Neurosurg!

Everyday in the past 2 weeks,

I kept telling myself, 

that I need to study them,

eat, drink, sleep

with them.

And then I got so exhausted 

from the working hours,

that I just slept,

dreaming about needing to study instead.

Gah!

Another weekend's over,

and I still haven't really touched them.

Stressed.

Magnolia!

Magnolia!

Not as pretty this year

because of the wind and rain.

Still...

Magnolia!!!

Epic

Friday, August 19, 2011

Wet day after an EPIC week.

Record week of my entire med school years so far: 

~56 hours in 4.5 days.

Awesome!

Thursday, August 18, 2011

Portable Scanner!

One of the cool things I get to witness in this hectic, but kind of freaking awesome rotation. 

Whinge

Wednesday, August 17, 2011

W-H-Y? Why?

Maybe I shouldn't really complain
about leaving home at 535am
in freezing cold mornings.

Afterall,
senior medical students in the US
work even crazier hours than us.

Yea!
Stop complaining!
Whinger!

Shadows - night version

Tuesday, August 16, 2011

Night-shadow

These days,
I seem to keep catching up
with the night time version
of my shadow.

Twice a day,
once very early in the morning,
another late in the evening.

I like you,
my fellow night-shadow,
I really do.

But I miss day-shadow too.

See you tomorrow morning.

=)

Coffee 2

Caffeine-Infused Mornings

It's back!

This time around,
it's a given,
not a choice.


Here's hoping that
this will be the last
of my med school years!

Life

Life

Sometimes in life,

you saw something potentially special,

you went for it,

and then 

realised it wasn't.

But life's life.

So you keep telling yourself,

one day,

one fine day,

you'll find something special,

you'll go for it,

and then 

it'll all make sense.

Meet-up

Saturday, August 13, 2011

Choc

It's interesting.

How our lives are so different now,

how we used to be similar,

how our lives could have been similar now,

yet not all your lives are similar,

and how my life will be different.

Somehow, these little catch-ups

give me these thoughts.

Errr....

I don't know

what the hell I'm saying.

Lunch

Friday, August 12, 2011

...has never been better!

My dear friend,

You have no idea 

how much it meant to me,

that you stayed back for me,

that you gave me the reason 

to run off early,
after an epic week,

to have lunch with you,

in this little cafe,

along with your favourite

- latte art coffees.

You know I love you. 

=)

Feet

Sore

Dear feet,

I should have warned you
that surgical rotation is back,
with a vengeance.

I know,
you're tired.

So am I.

And it's only been the first week.

Eek!~

Lost

Surg! Surg! Surg!

OMG!

Lost in abbreviations.

New rotation

Everything, 

everyone,

seems to be

nicer.

Sad-face

Monday, August 8, 2011

Drive Thru

Sad-face fact of the day:

When you are too early 

to get drive-thru brekky.

For unpaid work.

Rays

Sunday, August 7, 2011

Corners of my room.

I love waking up to these:

Rays of sunshine piercing though the window blinds,

creating these random yet orderly patterns of lines.

Amusement

Saturday, August 6, 2011

Honey

Amusement of the day:

Making sure that

no trace of yummy honey 

 is left in the bottle 

by pouring hot water into it,

shaking it up,

and downing it all.

Yum!!!

Lemon Tree

Friday, August 5, 2011

Lemon Tree - Song of my childhood. xD

I'm sitting here in the boring room
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree

I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
Well, nothing ever happens and I wonder

Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree

I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree
And I wonder, wonder

I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon-tree

Stop and Reflect

Thursday, August 4, 2011

Few more months.

Very often, you get caught up amidst the busy life, and you forget the little things that matter.

Until your patient specifically requested you,
a mere medical student, not one of the doctors,
to re-iterate and explain things to her and her family.

And I was so busy having a taste of how life would be in the next 2 years, that I nearly missed this significant moment.

Must remind myself: 

To stop and reflect everyday. 

My Place

Wednesday, August 3, 2011

Wattle!

Wattle Grove.

Aptly named.

On my day off...

Tuesday, August 2, 2011

Lazy sunny morning.

I spent the late morning

sitting in my backyard

under the warm sun. 

At a leisurely pace,

had breakfast,

read the newspaper,

and then

just laze on the chair

having a little nap.

Man!! 

This is what life's about!

Another thing to remind myself always. =)

Guidelines

Monday, August 1, 2011

Guidelines no.1080

I'm always amazed by motivated doctors
who always try to do the right thing,
even if it's little thing like this.

(Although safe handover is actually not that little.)

And so I wonder,
would I be one of those
in the near future?

Must always remind myself this.
