PS: On the prowl

I can't believe I'm saying this but I bump into a HAWT redhead in a form of an ortho Reg. He kindly oblige to teach me some bone x-rays, happiness! Why oh why does all the cute ones end up in orthopaedic?

Selamat Hari Raya

About 1 more week, it will be Hari Raya! Oh, how I miss the Raya season back home. Visiting friends and eat delicious food. To all my friends who are celebrating, enjoy! Whilst everyone was busy, I skip hospital early today because A&E is boring and no one wants to teach us. So, I'll be spending the afternoon typing my surgical case. *Secret life of a medical student*

As, usually every big companies will compete for the best Raya advert, here is the best so far...isk...isk...

Surgery

I'm officially in a surgical team for 4 weeks. Very busy day of lecture, there is no time to even go to the wards to see patients. PANIC TIME!!! Need a surgical history for upload. Must get tomorrow! Spoon feeding is nice after 1 year of SDL in 4th Med. But this meant more study time and constant non-stop revision. Feb 2009 in the much dreaded written finals, and I have to do well because I owe it to myself. I'm not sure about the criteria of obtaining "honours" but would try my best. Somebody told me that you have to get all hons in SC1 subject to given hons in the final. I'll find out.

The end of summer holiday

Tonight is officially the last night of my summer holiday. In about 15 minute plus, I am a Final year student. Yes, I'm a final med student. It seem only yesterday that I started first year, oh time passed extra fast in med school. In about approximately 8 months hopefully I'll graduate with DR in front of my name. I'm dreading it....scary prospect of finally having to work to earn a living.

I'm stranded...

On the other note, I want one of these

Movie

Got through the written Paeds exam today. Fair questions but not enough time. Did my best and fingers crossed. Till Thursday for clinical exams (Oh!!! Ridiculous). Watch a very cool movie few days ago. Would try to find the DVD. "Broken English" portray the very fear of singledom of modern women, yet love triumphant! Be spontaneous, be brave. As a character said "Most people are together just so they are not alone. But some people want magic. I think you are one of those people." That touched the soul and I found it painfully true. Do watch this movie and I'm sure you'll at least shed a tear.

Sacrifice, I don't think it's fair!

I'm in crappy mood yet again. Whilst others are enjoying life and hanging out with the uber-cool, I'm stuck with a paediatric text book for the upcoming exams. I don't think sacrifice is a good word, it's a rather oxymoron expression. A true sacrifice would be rewarded in the end, but sacrificing life for a bloody exam will never be rewarded. SORRY, I'm a bit snappy today. I had disrupted sleep for the pass few days, sign of anxiousness and dreading the exam. Here is what I have to put up with and "sacrifice":

1. Russian Classical Ballet performing Swan Lake one day only in NCH Dublin, which is TODAY!
2. Jean-Yves Thibaudet Piano Concert on the 16 Sept 2008, guess what, I'm having exam on that day!

Medical schools are crap in considering the mental wellbeing of its students. I sometimes sit down and think, why the hell I enter med school?! It's too late to rewind. If I had my way, I'd quit and go to famous cooking schools in France or US to be a chef!!! But this is unlikely because I've to consider paying back my scholarship.

On the other note, I came across my all time favorite gay guy, Kyan Douglas of Queer Eye For The Straight Guy. Loved that show. I wish all straight guys are like him except that they are straight. Yes, I'm crazy.

PS: Perhaps once the exam is over I'll take up a private tutoring on how to beautify my blog from a BFF. Happy birthday to you!!
