2008/6/26 Now What...Now what...
I have no idea ha ha...
Am clueless as to what to write because there's just so much to write...
Basically, I got home for 4 days after the horribly long transit in Dubai and slept and slept and slept and slept. I think i've never slept that much in my entire life. I wonder if thats how having african sleeping sickness is. 1 hour after waking up each time, I would start to drift off into a daze.
Then elective came calling and I had to pack my bags *sob sob* again. Gosh, I really hate packing...to the core. The national neuroscience institute in Singapore is really something and within a span of a few days, I've managed to see a whole lot of rare brain surgeries and cases. Everyday, I wake up at 630, rush to hospital, try to get updates on the consultant's patients then hurry back to the conference room where all the neurosurgeons from specialist reg to senior consult gather to discuss "difficult" cases. After that, the ward round starts and spans from neuro icu to all over the hospital in other wards that have to accomodate overflow patients.
Interestingly even in such an established department, things do get messy and yesterday, my consultant exploded big time. I guess mistakes do happen and medicine and surgery itself are difficult to juggle. When you add management and administrative work onto it, the balance gets even more slippery. Oh well, what to do? Just have to pick yourself up again. Being witness to all this demands some kind of professionalism on my part so am trying to apply all the confidentiality and work ethics i've learnt from liv. Wah seh! Gambate!
To all my fellow colleagues scattered about in Iceland, Japan, Malaysia, Isle of Man, Taipei etc... stay safe and remember, YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE! 2008/6/17 DXBExams are over.
Packing and shifting done (sort of).
Now if only time will pass by double speed now that i've got to wait 5 hours for my connecting flight back to Malaysia. Yes... The big headed prawn bought her air tickets without checking the transit time. Not surprising.
By the way although this may not be entirely right because I'm too lazy to walk around dubai airport, I am inclined to think that Dubai airport is definitely not as good as KLIA.
1)We landed all the way from Manchester and they put us on a reserve open spaced terminal. The bus ride to my transit terminal was excruciatingly long!
2)Its really warm here but this may be because I don't regulate temperature very well. I am typing this under an air conditioning vent.
3)The cafes and restaurants have no power source for laptops and I have to sit on the floor at the side. It's actually pretty funny because everybody using laptops are doing the same and we are sort of lined in a row, like a display of computer geeks for dozens of international travellers to peruse at.
4)Not-so-clean toilets
If only Hiro Nakamura was with me. However, this will not dampen the fact that I'll be home-sweet-home tom! YATADA! 2008/5/6 Tan Hong Ming & Umi QazrinaI'm in the midst of preparing for exams and writing up the most stressful scientific review ever but seeing this just made my day, probably the entire week :) I'm sure it'll melt your hearts too. By the way, these two are my great great great great ..... grand juniors! Yasmin Ahmad filmed it at my primary school in TTDI ha ha. I'm so proud of them. Does it remind you about your tadika or primary school days? hee hee hee... 2008/4/13 Discovering BirkenheadMy GP and disability rotation sort of ended last week and so during my lunch time, I decided to explore around Birkenhead a little. Hamilton Square is so gorgeous especially now that it's spring. Anyway, I've been contemplating whether to enter the Wirral Museum or not. It didn't sound that interesting so I've just passed it by without bothering everytime I walked to my GP's surgery. Anyway, I decided to since it was my last day there and it turned out to be a pretty interesting lunch break!
The Wirral Museum is basically the centre of Birkenhead's rich heritage which goes back all the way to the days of swashbuckling ship capturing (think a milder version of Pirates of the Carribean). Actually ships for the American Civil War were build in Birkenhead. This was really surprising and they set sail from Liverpool's docks for action. The most famous of this was the CSS Alabama shown in the slideshow. It captured and plundered 65 ships under its mighty Captain Old Beeswax. I nearly keeled over laughing at the Captain's nickname ha ha ha. He looks abit Jack-Sparrowish though ;)
The other thing that caught my eye was also the stained glass ceiling in the ballroom which is a quote from Psalm 24:1,2 which says:
1 The The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, 2 for he founded it upon the seas It was tempting to lie down but I decided not to and I think it was wise. In the mayor's hall, there was also this interesting cupboard of Japanese pottery and the description that followed it said that during the victorian ages, all things Japanese were very fashionable. Maybe the first mayor's wife thought Japanese stuff were very kawaii :)
So that wraps up my GP days at Birkenhead which also made me absolutely sure that I'm not cut out to be a GP. Sigh... Hamilton square is so gorgeous. I will be back someday! 2008/4/9 Tag Done!1. At what age do you wish to marry?
