should be typing my cofm report instead of blogging.. but i just watched the last episode of bai se ju ta (white tower?) and gan cu liang shen.. it's a very sad ending.. although it is just a show, i think the show does bring out many important learning points and things to ponder over.. u got to watch the show for urself though.. and i think all future doctors should watch it..

this holidays has been one of writeups and tv for me.. doing writeups and watching tv.. haha.. watching this korean vcd called full house in particular.. i quite like it.. in fact i watched it twice.. so that explains the state of my cofm report now.. must finish it tmr by hook or by crook, so that i can enjoy my church's new year's eve dinner in peace haha..

every year passes by so quickly.. soon we will be housemen.. and housewomen hahahaha...

phew.. i just shared my testimony.. ok la was abit nervous at the start but it was alright later on.. just that i was not very sure where to place my hands after a while.. haha.. and it was very hard juggling the mike the stand and the script and occasionally keeping eye contact with the audience. the punjers were super encouraging afterwards.. i was really touched. and i hoped God had reached out to the non-Christians at the party today. then my effort would have been worth it!

it has been a happy 5 days of hols for me.. every day was so well spent. just that i really really need to start doing both my emed and cofm write-ups liao..

i dunno why the photos turned out so small.. tried to make them bigger but cant.. i thought the photos this year were quite well taken..
just finished typing about half to 2 thirds of my testimony which i am going to give on friday.. then a bit of word constipation.. i know what i want to write but it somehow doesnt flow.. i will finish up the rest tonight or tmr.. at least the tougher part is done la.. the remaining is more straightforward.. saw this coming la, actually i was supposed to share about it last xmas but i wasnt prepared. in fact i turned my bs leaders down twice liao so a bit paiseh.. so this time when they asked me, i said ok rather readily.. a bit apprehensive but i am psyching myself up these few days.. in fact i am rather relaxed and cool about it.. but its still safer to do it with a script if not later in front of so many people confirm screw up one..
just finished emed posting.. and i must say i enjoy every minute of it.. this must count as my favourite posting so far.. lucky to have great tutors.. prof suresh who never fails to amaze me with his incredible stamina.. u know he gave us this super long tutorial from 830 am to 830 pm.. he is just so super responsible.. then there were dr shirley, dr benjamin leong, dr amila, dr lee kuan wee.. all of them were so willing to teach. these 3 weeks were really well spent. my ECG knowledge just increased so many times.. then saw all the acute illnesses.. got to do procedures.. i put in my first 2 stitches of my career! something which i never got to do at AH surgery where all i did until 1130pm at night was hold retractors and take photos.. hmm emed as a career.. y not? something to consider.. i think it is quite exciting and most importantly working hours are fixed and regular. just that i don't know whether i got the aptitude for it.. and whether i can be calm enough to make decisions expeditiously.
must spend this hols fruitfully.. 2 weeks only and it is our longest break so far. but got lots to do.. cofm project. cofm write-up. emed write-up. xmas. new year.
saturday was qianyi's birthday party.. quite a blast. good food. gorgeous place. almost like a resort. complete with swimming pool. i heard even got attic and entertainment room upstairs. oh i liked the cake and choc fondue.. oh not to forget we got to see a different qianyi that day, almost cant recognise her haha.. and she was a good host too.. walking around to talk to diff people..
and it was an enjoyable time talking to the people at my table..

it has been so long.. but i am glad.. no more awkwardness.. friends still and siblings with Christ.. thank God, and pray that i will be able to share my testimony on Friday boldly and uninhibited.. =)

going swimming with zhiwen now.. happy hols all the med people!

just came back from ambulance attachment.. i must say it was rather boring and unexciting..
1st case 11.08 pm. malay woman presented with chest tightness and epigastric pain while breastfeeding baby.
2nd case 2am. elderly chinese lady presented with shortness of breath. chronic smoker. history of COPD. probably acute exacerbation of COPD. given inhaled salbutamol.
3am. assault case. a guy being beaten by 10 over guys at hougang green. can't find him there. caller said he had walked to another place.
3rd case 3.20am. chinese lady. gave birth few weeks ago. presented with fever, chills and rigors for 2 days. fever was waxing and waning. associated with dysuria. suspected UTI.
4th case 5.24am road traffic accident along road near compasspoint. motorcyclist and pillion rider injured. man compained of pain around right lateral chest area. his wife had a probable dislocation of her right shoulder and little finger.i wasnt required to do much except for the last case which i helped to carry the man onto the stretcher. well at least it was an eyeopener being inside a fire station for the first time and having an insight into how the civil defence is like. the 2 medics i was with certainly didnt have a lot of good comments about the "free ambulance service" the civil defence was providing. haha. but both of them treated me well and we all got on quite well. and with 2 2-hr sleeps saddling a call, the night call was quite bearable. but learning value wise for a medical student, i wouldnt say it was that useful..

MARATHON
how can i not blog about it right.. heh i would say this year i did quite okay la.. i was pleased with my timing. pb leh.. haha. stuck to my race plan and everything turned out well.. no cramps this year.. just muscle tightness and fatigue around 35km.. after that was pure mental stength and putting one foot in front of the other all the way to the finishing line.
much more enjoyable and satisfying this year la.. learnt my mistake from last year.. started training earlier and clocked more mileage too.. and not to forget the sunday runs with joops, jingz, yongxian and hope.. i think the training itself was equally satisfying and worth treasuring as the actual marathon.. the friendship, the crappy jokes, the toilet breaks, the pineapple juice and 100 plus we looked forward to during the long runs.. i hope we will make the sunday runs a regular fixture..and without doubt, i will be back next year.. to crack the 4 hour mark.. and to experience the exhilaration, the atmosphere and of cos the pain all over again!
