What's Wrong with You??

Had a great time at cha cha cha tonight..

check out the photo

I don't have to worry about what to have dinner for next 2 days.

Tonight I'm going over to my mum's for dinner and tomorrow night to in-laws' for dinner. Fortunate huh?

Both mothers are missing their respective child so as a result dinner has been arranged for the next 2 nights.

We always tend to complain that our mothers are naggy, that they will go on non-stop about the same thing and that they want to get their fingers into everything that we do and to interfere in whatever way possible.

But such is a mother's love. In their eyes, we can never take care of ourselves. We are always that naughty toddler that they ran after, the untidy child who can never eat a meal properly, the mischevious student who cannot be bothered about his/her future...

After we moved to our new place, our mothers have started to call us and tell us how much they missed us and want to see us. It's kinda strange to hear that... but still good nonetheless. that warm fuzzy feeling...

So after work I'm gonna run home to my mum's or a big dose of motherly love

got this off Mich's blog

Cor blimey, I taste like Tea. I am a subtle flavour, quiet and polite, gentle, almost ambient. My presence in crowds will often go unnoticed. Best not to spill me on your clothes though, I can leave a nasty stain. What Flavour Are You?

I was apparently given another choice, I could still be...

I taste a bit like Almonds. Mmm, the taste of almonds - anathema to many with nut allergies, and a bad sign for many more, as my taste is not unlike that of cyanide. Am I good or am I poison? A risky thing to guess about. What Flavour Are You?

Was rostered for X-ray today i.e. we monitor patients who are under GA for radiological procedures.

This means:

1. No toilet breaks or tea breaks
2. The nurse is not there
3. You have to push the machine and all your barang barang to the radiological room

Basically, in a nutshell, it means lots of menial work. Push here push there and usually the cons will be more stressed as conditions are less controlled and when things go wrong, Murphy will be laughing his head off...

Anyway, things were alright, pushed stuff around. I actually found it quite fun since it was something different.

Finished just in time for lunch and now I am reployed.
The last case is going on now... from what I hear, it's a big case that will take a while. Hmmm... I'm supposed to relieve my colleague temporarily while he submits his lawyers cheque... I hope he doesn't decide not to return

Doing a vascular case tomorrow i.e. sick patients with multiple medical problems and sometimes poor outcome. Hope they will be fine. Gotta go see them later before heading home for cell.

So i guess now it's back to bestcrosswords.com

haha

Wah... Si mi lai eh...

If I were a hygiene product, I'd be

Since our cell is always eager to talk about things going on in the toilet, I figure this is an apt test for all of us.

Had a quick lonely lunch today.
Decided to prevent depression from setting in by getting a ben and jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough...

tastes ok...

Lonely lunch with ben and jerry vs lunch with kaki at hawker centre without dessert?
I'll take the latter anytime, but such is the sad state of life today... sigh

Post-prandial lethargy setting in... i've decided to send the patients for lunch first so i can have time to savour my ben and jerry's in peace and of course hopefully catch 40 winks...

I'm The Internet-Addict Test!

I love in-jokes, especially if they help highlight the marvellously geeky cultural differences between my internet clique and the rest of the world.

sian.. boss still around, how to go for lunch??

Take the What Fruit Are You? test by Ellen!

I did finish early yesterday... but I did not exercise... too tired.
Dunno why I am so tired since all I do is sit around and chart parameters. Guess there isn't much excitement in my work these days.
So instead of burning some calories I brought my wife to have a buffet. She had a long day and I think she deserves a treat.

Was looking forward to today. Was assigned to run clinics with my buddy.

Running clinics in this posting meant:

1. can come to work late (i.e. past 9am)
2. can have long lunch break (i.e. 12 to 2)
3. can go out and eat, people watch etc
4. can talk cock with your fellow clinic mate

So I woke up after 7 am after my wife has left for work, switched on the TV and made myself some wholesome Korean super-size instant noodles. Not too bad... tangy noodles with small bits of mushroom in a spicy soupbase.
Washed it down with a mug of magnolia chocolate milk.
Satisfying... oops... a bit late to take train plus I was sweating after that hot meal.
Took a cab down, tried to read on the cab and ended up with vertigo...

anyways, reached the hospital and walked slowly to the clinic

There was a change of plans!!!!

My buddy got shuttled off to another OT and I'm now supposed to run clinc with the HOD!

Running clinic with the HOD meant:

1. better be on time (phew! good thing I took cab)
2. might have to work through lunch
3. can forget about escaping outta hospital during office hours
4. can talk to myself for the rest of the day...

So here I am waiting for patients to arrive with nothing to look forward to for lunch, no escapades for today...
As for my buddy, he's in the coldest theatre today. BURRR...

Pippin Took If I were a character in The Lord of the Rings, I would be Pippin, Hobbit, heir of the Old Took and a friend of Frodo's. In the movie, I am played by Billy Boyd. Who would you be? Zovakware Lord of the Rings Test with Perseus Web Survey Software

And this is my Hobbit name:
Samwise Gamgee-Took of Bywater

Only had 2 hours of sleep on Friday and went straight for the course... when my friends saw me they could hardly believe that i had only slept for 2 hours... it was the usual " you look real fresh for a dude who slept only 2 hours"..
I get that all the time, i just dun look tired but my cerebral material had already ceased to function.. it was all running on auto pilot.

I had 2 days worth of home-cooked food, thanks to my lovely wife... I've always loved home-cooked food... it doesn't have to be any fanciful, just piping hot freshly-cooked rice with a few dishes by your loved ones... it just makes your day

Was struggling to keep awake today during the lectures... amongst many who were also religiously nodding their heads to lecturers' non-stop droning...

Then came the test. 70% for a pass... darn.. it was not as easy as i thought.
Results will be made known tomorrow via email apparently. I was told if I fail i just have to come back another day and take the exact same paper!! How's that gonna help me learn anything?

Oh well... let's just wait for the email to come.. sigh.. i'm working with PRIMA DONNA tomorrow...

Organised dinner. soft shell crab, thai chicken, ginger venison, oyster omelette, kailan, stewed tofu....

Called our friendly food delivery man and realised that he was on leave!
The things we take for granted.... the ever friendly voice over the phone taking our orders...

Rushed through dinner, as usual... just can't eat slowly or take my time to eat when i know someone else in the team hasn't eaten.

Now back in theatre blogging... haha

Let's hope things flow by quickly and morning will come....

Lunch today was different.
Nasi lemak with algae-stricken rice. Not too bad. Although the fish was a bit dry, tasteless and lifeless-looking, chilli was the only redeeming entity...

Today was exceptional. Totally no change in roster. Everyone just stayed where they were supposed to be. I guess after 2 days of entire chaos it's about time some order was restored.

Short list today. Only 3 cases and currently starting on the last. On another day I would be exhilirated since this was a friday but I had to be on call today. #@#%#@%@%!

Received the increment letter today (GRIN)
I wonder how much my bro is getting... time to ask for a treat. yeah.

yeah. so here i am in one of the coldest theatres with ambient temperatures of 17 degrees celcius.

Took a cab since list was supposed to start at 8am. gobbled down some bee hoon with a luncheon meat and ngo hiang in less than 5 minutes

pleasant old lady greeted me as i entered the induction room making rushing here all worth it. let's hope the surgery will go well.

darn. its 0810 hrs and the surgeon is not here yet...

hmmm... i have this sick feeling that i am gonna be shuttled around the theatres again.

let's see how it goes

i'm supposed to be reading for my FCCS now since I will be working from tomorrow till the start of the course.

...brain is cramping, can't get info in... just wanna waste time.... dun wanna sleep either...
 
ARghh.....

 

I am 1 month and 18 days post-nuptial.
It feels different being the owner of your own place. you get to mess it up anyway you want it (to the discretion of the better half of coz... =P)

Darn bored with my work now, no job satisfaction...
but the free time is good for adjusting to married life.

Wanna thank Terence  (you the man!) for ridding the Netsky for me... unbeliveable! 400 over copies on my pc....

Was shifted around OTs for the past 2 days, feel like crap. Sian

Not looking forward to work tomorrow... on call....
