yay 12% done. which leaves the referral letter. which i hope to finish tomorrow.

sometimes. someone points out that someone else is in need of something. and i recognise the need. but sometimes. i just wish that someone would notice the same need in me. i know, self-centred right?

today was a sad day. :(

but michael's iphone drums in church were awesome haha! ;p

my indian talley & o'connor (textbook) still smells somewhat indian, even though i practically drenched it in my cranberry room spray. :| not to be racist or anything.

yuuhhhhhh.

2:05 am

20100530

assignmenting really makes it feel like a non-sunday. :| but i suppose i have been quite productive this afternoon, yay. :) in between assignment stuff i have been looking for things to do in gc and nice fonts. ;p

another few hundred words to go. plus the referral letter. plus last week's directed activities! rawr. neverending. well, almost. the semester's almost over! :3

will it not be very different? i think it will be. oh well.

i hate referencing.

hungry.

8:40 pm


they say no man's an island
but i tend to disagree
i guess they've never seen my island
and where it lies at sea

a wounded man sounds desperate
when he's lost all his belief
can you look into my eyes
and say you won't betray me

running out of time
how precious time can be
i'm counting all the moments
of the times you could have saved me

5:37 pm


it's been such a long time since i've felt this way that i'd almost forgotten what it felt like. though of course it isn't something you can really ever just forget. it's true, what zhilin said at lg last night. time doesn't heal all wounds.

it's quite sad to realise how the whole thing with flowers has been pretty much ruined for me.

on another (lighter) note, had fun at chyi wei's birthday party tonight. :) and supper with wanjie. and lunch at jyu jyu was good too. except that there was too much laundry involved today.

will be interesting to have church in C1 tomorrow. and being able to walk to church. i secretly find it stressful fetching people to church because i can't estimate time, and also because people are late and mess up my timings. so i'm thankful that ian's been doing all of that for me recently. ;p

and it looks like gold coast..

3:08 am

20100529

the apple galette thing wasn't great. but then i didn't serve it with honey. but no it wasn't great. but evidently edible, i don't have to worry about trying to finish it at some point.

was reminded of scary things today. :|

1:45 am

20100528

holidayyyy i hope. :3

anyway. baking an apple galette. i don't even know what that is. but it looks quite pretty. i hope it tastes okay.

hmmm went to meet my GP and he said it was a good effort. but he kept correcting my english haha. but anyway. time to continue the assignment.. after lg maybe. or maybe just tomorrow. ;p

exotic fruit haha. ;p

hungry!

8:12 pm

20100527

+ melbourne
+ cafe giraffe
+ costco
+ pancake parlour
+ vegetable soup

9:35 pm


yay long weekend again! :) though i have to go back to the clinic on friday and we have the mosce. though i'm not sure if i'm going for the mosce yet.

going to fetch joce later. so i'll just read until then. :)

lectures about weight gain/ loss (omg the picture of the person with an apron down to her knees!! D:), fever, and dizziness. tiredness in doctors resulting in 6x the number of clinical errors. a simulated patient getting a seizure because she had to keep hyperventilating. developmental disabilities (again). tutorial with people with developmental disabilities, it was interesting..

came home for a bit, then went to chaddy for the vip sale. though, as usual, i hardly bought anything. :| but as jiayuan says, we go just in case. zzz. met quite a few people though. people i haven't seen in a long time, eg. val, dorcas, alex, jiayuan. and also people i see often enough, eg. steph, rachel, zhilin, melissa etc. ;p finally bought my lantern fairy lights! :D so pretty. :) but the moscato wasn't nice. :(

ian made sandwiches. :) like the kind you can buy in cafes haha.

we ate a feijoa the other day. it tasted really weird. and he's eating a pomegranate now. it also tastes weird. i don't like anything that tastes remotely of a shrub. or like grass.

my internet is being a pain now. and i can't find my credit card bill, sigh. and also next semester's school fees are like $23093.05 seriously?! can you imagine how much money i will be wasting if i have to redo a year? :\

still dehydrated. will attempt to wake up without using an alarm tomorrow.

2:03 am

20100526

hello. long day today.

saw this woman who i thought was manic (66yo, purple nail polish, colourful bangles on arms, keeps playing with her hair, talking about how she can write an encyclopedia about her life and how people keep setting her up with guys etc). and i said to the GP: i think she's a bit manic. and he said: manic? she's just crazy! -.-

so there were fireworks this evening, at the monash oval! it was supposed to start at 6.30, but we didn't see anything so we thought they might have postponed it because it was drizzling. but a while later we heard something and all three of us ran out of the house, into the car, and ian sped to uni, and we ran out of the car and did a lot of oohing and ahhing at the fireworks. :) then we left in a hurry too haha. the last one was the nicest. :) so pretty. :)

watched What Happens in Vegas with ian. :)

hehe sebas reactivated his fb account after i complained that not having fb makes him so uncontactable. ;p even though i didn't even notice that he'd deactivated it until months later.

i can't wait to see everyone again too. :( though that will only be in december! :\ though daddy is visiting in september, and mother in november.

been feeling very dehydrated recently. :|

going to meet my GP again on friday to discuss my assignment, so i'll just put it aside till then..

five more school daysss whee.

12:10 am

20100524

tired! :< and so very sian to go to school again tomorrow.. i guess it's the last two weeks and we're just waiting for it to be over. well. i am, anyway.

although i have not even opened my assignment since the 1000+ words last night. and i wanted to pass it to my GP on tuesday.. ugh. how am i going to multiply that by 4!

consulting skills is so ugh. i feel like only going in the afternoon tomorrow.. :|

wanjie and chris made us curry puffs! :D

it was freezing today. my toes were all numb. :( it was like 3 degrees when i woke up! D: and 7 degrees now.

i'm tired and cold. i just want to sleep and not think about the assignment. sleeeeeppppp. :(

12:46 am

20100523

chronic illness/ disability study. :< only about 1000 words so far grr. but that's better than nothing.

i am developing a million mouth ulcers. :(

went to see an auction in st kilda this morning. nobody wanted to bid. the house was small but it had a spa haha. no attached bathrooms. a nice verandah.

had coffee/ hot chocolate at jerry's milk bar, but nineteen squares is better. but it was too crowded. skipped lunch and went to do my hair again because it had died. was fretting about what to say but i didn't have to say much in the end, they just did it again for me. :) the lady commented that ian was very nice to wait there for hours and hours for me, twice.

groceries at pinewood. passionfruit yoghurt! :)

dinner and set up.. new keyboard and software.

and assignmenttt. i am stressed. :(

1:30 am

20100521

mouse met call

pinky nearly died today! D: if ian hadn't gone out to look at them she definitely would have died. she was freezing and she couldn't really move, couldn't open her eyes.

started warming her up in front of the heater, then tried giving her water but figured ribena was a better idea. she managed to drink a bit so she could move more. after a while she could crawl around on my hand so we tried feeding her crunchy nut, oats, and mushrooms. then we decided that it was okay to put her back into the cage. and just do her obs once in a while heh. but she seems fine now.

interesting day with a wide variety of patients, though there were only five. a girl with an intellectual disability who has hcc with lung mets, who held my hand. an elderly man "recovering" from bladder cancer, who was cheeky and tried to splash water on the nurse when she helped him with his shower. a middle-aged lady with breast cancer with a lot of mets everywhere, who had an adorable dog. :) an elderly lady with pancreatic cancer, who feels nauseated all the time, and her husband doesn't understand that she's dying because he has advanced dementia. she said she remembered me, though i don't think i've ever met her before.. unless she was in the hospital last year.

how do people do pall care?

and the fifth patient was my patient. only met him for another half an hour because they didn't really have many answers for me..

finished all we have of Glee so i just have to wait.

and i am procrastinating doing my assignment. maybe till saturday.

i think i need to practise some mindfulness.

12:01 am

20100520

i don't know where to do my elective if i don't do it in thailand. :( charmaine suggested hk, which i would love, but it's so expensive. :(

interesting lecture this morning about erectile dysfunction haha. the lecturer also tutored us practically the whole day..

wanjie got jmurtagh to sign her textbook! :O so cool haha. how often do you get lectured by the person who wrote your textbook?

Glee! (as usual)

laksa for dinner. :D but the noodles weren't real laksa noodles. but still. :)

i haven't finished memorising my memory verses haha. so looonggg.

meeting my patient tomorrow. intend to do the report over the weekend (between doing the hair, going for an auction, church set up and church). whee.

have to get up early tomorrow morning. :(

1:34 am

20100519

did this rotation's psych quiz and i did just as badly as the first time. -.- or worse i think. gah. and they still don't give us the answers! :<

and to the people who keep asking me to go back to the hair salon, i will.. when i finally manage to find the time. :x

ian tidied my table so he has more space.

am not looking forward to tomorrow, which is full of men's health, women's health and psych consulting skills cases. :(

2:12 am

20100518

GP day.

nothing much happened today. mostly taking blood pressures and looking at patients' skin and throats. and some ears. and some noses. some liquid nitrogen, a crepe bandage, crying babies.

one kid cut his thumb on a pair of fabric scissors while his mother was on the phone. i nearly died watching the GP remove the tissue paper to see if he could just use steri strips, or if it needed sutures. nearly died.

my afternoon GP was supposed to have no patients from 2.50 till 5 and he offered to take me to do a home visit, but random patients showed up so he was occupied till 4. then he asked the other nice doctor if i could sit in with him instead, but as usual, he asked me to just go home. so i went to chaddy to buy a pair of shoes.

(but the nice doctor is really very nice. he always gives me updates on the patients i see with him, eg. that 92yo lady had 2 crush fractures of her vertebrae, and that young girl had toxoplasmosis instead of lymphoma. and he always prints a copy of the patient information handouts for me too. and he gave me the fluvax for free even though i don't have a medicare card.)

came home and napped. then cooked dinner and watched Glee while eating (ian's downloading more!). ;p

this is such a long week. :| 4.45 tomorrow, pall care visit on thursday, and maybe a visit to my patient's home, 4.30 on friday ugh. though i really do want to visit my patient so i can write my report and pass it to my GP with enough time for him to go through it. only 2.5 more weeks of GP land to go.

zzz.

10:56 pm


okay i have finished what i have of Glee. :( which is only 13 episodes! i want more Glee. :(

had dinner at Let's Bab... michael has an interesting ability to tell when i'm not absolutely happy. it was freezing after that. :x winter's almost here.

abdo pain. :(

12:26 am

20100517

hungry.

haven't been supersampling.. probably should have been, since the weather's been nice. cold, but it's 16 now and it doesn't feel too bad.

wonder if anyone's called the pall care place.

lost my ring today. realised it during one of the lectures.. lectures were boring today. even the tute was boring. zzz. activity scheduling is difficult. armaan was exceptionally bored today haha.

anyway. came home and found it under the sink. yay! :)

got rong's present today. :D the stamps so prettyyyy. :) thank you!

i hope my GP doesn't ask difficult questions tomorrow. :| actually, no. i hope he doesn't ask questions that i can't answer.. so i won't look stupid, so i can ask him to write a reference for me haha. though there are two more weeks after this one.

where will i do my elective if i can't do it in thailand? hmm...

yum cha date with charmaine, tae, and whoever else at the end of the semester! :3

6:52 pm

20100515

you said hello

third day of the long weekend.. soon it'll be monday again, sigh.

sent ian to uni in the morning for his ielts test. now my wheel is scratched. :( :( :( heart pain!

anyway. came back and did some work, then made pie! :D
it isn't nice and brown and shiny because i forgot to put egg on top. :\ but it was nice. :) we had 3/4 of it for lunch and yuwan had the rest for part of her dinner. ian made another one but it looks really weird (like a giant dumpling) haha. it's still sitting in the oven..

zzz.

chinese soup for dinner. :) yum.

going to see the Titanic exhibition! at some point..

i just keep watching Glee haha. so addictive. :3

10:38 pm


if you drink and drive, you're an idiot.

have decided not to go. :| throwing away a million dollars, i know.

spent most of the day out again. finished my assignment at 2+ last night, so i slept in this morning. got up and went for yum cha at new royal garden! :D yum. also went to the paper place before because i forgot that it opened at 11.30 instead of 11.

and then. chaddy, then glen. finally decided. :O two hours! and boost juice.

came home and watched an episode of Glee, then went to nando's to meet the lg for dinner! :) then we went to kensington for half night prayer. first time we have been on time, ever. ;p hahaha. no "i love this family of God" at the end. :(

it's so late. :\ my shoulders are aching. :( but yeah i have decided not to go, so..

still have to get up early to send ian for his ielts test (though it's only at monash college). my lamy and tag heuer! haha. please bring them back safely. and get >7!

then i have to plan my week. do some work. call my patient. start writing the case report.

i think i have to sleep on my stomach tonight...

3:07 am

20100514

halfway through the ebcp assignment. i really want to just finish it and not care about anything other than the formatting after tonight.

i don't want to go for the aami thing anymore.

i don't like not having concrete plans.

3:18 am

20100513

monologue

no school! yay! :D haha.

went to pump petrol and check my tyre pressure on the way to the city. parked at costco and took the city circle around a bit, i'm thankful for free tram rides.

had lunch at dessert house. :D haha. then we went to elizabeth photo to develop the wedding roll, but ian was disappointed by it. :\

walked around in a lot of circles, but it wasn't bad because they were mostly different circles.. took photos of the weird signs and things we saw along the way. walked through some lanes.. bought something that i loveee but am going to give away haha. but i really love it. anyway. stopped for tea at ?creparia - crepe, mocha, hot chocolate. :) loved the decor. :)

met freedy on the way back to the car haha. got caught in the crazy jam. chaddy again..

yuwan made dumplings for dinner! :D

now i have to do work. :(

11:01 pm


blogging from my phone, hmmm.

so i didnt do any work tonight. :(

yuwan came in and flopped on my bed and it took a while to get her out haha. ian curled her hair! :p hahaha.

then we watched Glee. and tried to mop up a leak. i think it smells like ice cream soda.. anyway. there's a darker patch on my carpet now. :(

played taptaprevenge with ian haha. ;p

and skyped with the mother, brother, cat, and grandparents (in that order)! :D also showed them charcoal. :)

o happy day...

2:26 am

20100512

3152 / 365 = 8.64

started late today, 10.45! consulting skills (abdo pain), lunch, vertical sutures and punch biopsies, consulting skills (emergencies).

drove this morning.

and tomorrow's derm clinic was postponed so i have a long weekend (4 days!). :) which should mean doing my assignments, but. heh. it also means i finish the semester one day later. :\ oh well, the holiday's still longish because of no end of semester exams.

so i've been watching Gossip Girl and Glee. :)

i'm going to miss ian when he goes back.

10:14 pm

20100511

GP day wasn't too bad today. did a diabetic assessment without using a form and was complimented on it. yay! ;p the patient was very nice.

and last week he told me i needed to go and do dissections because i didn't know any anatomy. but today he asked me about carpal tunnel syndrome and i could answer hahaha. so i made a good impression today. :3 which is not normal.

i really should arrange another meeting with my chronic illness/ disability study patient. :\ my GP was reminding me about showing him the report before i submit it to the faculty heh.

watched 9 while having dinner. didn't particularly like it.. although it's nine.. sebas is in europe! kevin got all our belated gifts and letters haha. :)

i forgot to ask ian to buy hilighters for me from popular. :(

it feels like the weekend already because i can pretty much slack for the rest of the week. :3

10:42 pm

20100510

tenth is not a big deal.

did consulting skills this morning. :O terrifying.

my milo exploded in the microwave. :( my home microwave is lousy.

did advanced life support and managing emergencies in the afternoon. was falling asleep.. but woke up when it was time to practise intubation etc.

holiday in 3 weeks! :O so fast. halfway through 4th year in 3 weeks. :| so scary.

can't wait for friday. which is a holiday. :3

tomorrow is GP day, which is bleah. and i'm with the slack doctor in the afternoon, which means i might fall asleep.

how do you check the tyre pressure?

i don't want to study. i want to watch Glee and eat cheezels. :(

11:20 pm


rawr.

photos on fb with embarrassing comments... :|

it's mother's day today. didn't feel like it at all. though what it's supposed to feel like, i don't know.

only called my grandmother and mother at night. after daddy texted me, though i didn't forget.

managed to catch quick conversations with cheryl and jon yong, who came back for the wedding. :) it's nice to have people visit, even if it's only for a few days.

honour your parents..

went to the city after church today. we were supposed to meet sam and swee and don't know who else, but due to a lack of communication (i mean none whatsoever), we just wandered around and tried to find mice and food. because we bought an entertainment book today.. i suppose it'll only start becoming worth it when the holidays start.

the mice looked old, they're about as big as pinky and char, or bigger. the special love birds were so pretty. :)

dropped by chaddy on the way back to get some food. i've been there countless times in the past two weeks heh. and then after that we had to go to pinewood because we forgot about the cream.

yummy pasta for dinner. :) and lunch tomorrow.

submitted my emq.

skyped with kevin and the frog before the frog flew to europe. well. he hasn't flown yet.. his hair is ugly! well. apparently i'm the only one who thinks so. anyway. am looking forward to the end of the year. :)

consulting skills with simulated patients is so terrifying. :x

my brother has exams this week! english chinese maths and science, i think. i asked him if he could get full marks, he said he gets some wrong sometimes haha. ;p

12:34 am

20100508

the rainbow's in the sky to show God's promises are true

washed my hair. goodbye curls, goodbye volume. :| thanks zhilin for helping me do it. :)

hmmm. the weather was nice today. :) sunny, good for weddings. haha. ;p i love weddings.

though i don't know what to write about it now... the bridal party was very colourful haha.

i suppose the thing with non sit down receptions is that people don't really listen to whatever's going on?

the crab things were yummy though haha. and the guy jumped for the ball. and the fake ian was there! haha. though now his hair is longer so he doesn't look so much like ian. ;p

supersampled. :) i hope they turn out okay.

and jon yong couldn't recognise me. zepeng complimented me (shock horror!) hahaha. ;p

i didn't bring my digital camera, so i don't really have any pictures. oh well, facebook. :) even then, probably not a lot haha.

curls.. remind me of steffi. and steffawn haha. khaodee... and my elective which will have to be at the end of next year if i do go there. :\ though that means i get to spend cny in singapore! think bak kwa, pineapple tarts, kueh bangkit, plus all the other local food and angbaos! haha. not to mention vday hehe. ;p

this morning while zhilin did my hair i realised how much i like old things. typewriter, rotary phone, old child's school case, ae-1.. ;p my room is now more of a museum than it has ever been. ;p

going to lend rachel my polaroid for the winter hols! which is good because it'll be sunny where she is and gloomy in melbourne, so i hopefully won't miss it too much. ;p

ian went to watch Iron Man 2... :( haha now to remind myself of why i didn't want to go... ebcp assignment. -.- time to start reading articles..

10:45 pm


as and when

yay it's the weekend again!

went to ivy's house to watch Fireproof. it was funny watching it with zhilin haha. ;p i liked the love dare book.
and then christina experimented on my hair using my new hair straightener! $15 only haha so cheap. zhilin is going to help me do it tomorrow. :) painted our nails too.. my nail polish colours are weird.

sent sharon home and picked ian up at huntingdale and came home, only to find out that i'd left the straightener and the baskets at ivy's house. so we went back to get them.

did ebcp. someone wrote "out-way" instead of "outweigh" heh. i'm some sort of nazi too, i guess.

yesterday we drove to st kilda.

had lunch at nineteen squares! :) with awesome hot choc and mocha. :)
and yummy food too. :)

and my hot chocolate reminded me of... a retina. -.-
it was sunny, we switched sides halfway through so we wouldn't get sunburnt on one side haha.
and i started using my supersampler! :) hope it's sunny tomorrow so i can use it again. :)

i had five hours of deep sleep last night haha. but now my eyes are so tired i hope i'll be able to put the lenses in tomorrow. goodnight. :)

3:10 am

20100507

average.

today wasn't too bad. i got something i wanted, and we got a free hot choc/ coffee and chocolate truffles in chaddy. :) also spent a bit of time looking at something i want but can't have yet, and something else for ian.

derm clinic at the alfred wasn't too bad either. though i really don't envy those patients whom we poked and prodded, all eight of us. ten altogether, including the dermatologists. not as many questions as we'd expected.

lichenification on my fingers.

12:02 am

20100505

ain't that mister mister

it happened to me for the first time today! strange how it has always been the other way round, having it happen to me for the first time.. interesting. :)

okay so. uni at notting hill as usual, spine and limb exam, management of fractures and sports med. zepeng failed my drawings of arms in slings, oh well. rushed lunch.

ian brought Skype for servicing today! i haven't driven it yet, but it sounds quieter and he says it's smoother. the handbrake is very stiff.

derm clinic at alfred tomorrow, not really looking forward to it because people have said they ask a lot of questions. i don't want to study for it...

but other than that i'm looking forward to tomorrow. :) it will probably also be good for ian since he's been so bored haha.

mother didn't get the longchamp because she flew budget. :( hopefully she'll go on another trip haha.

i just want some time to watch some shows. or sleep, maybe sleep...

9:53 pm


'cause obviously,

long day. dragged myself out of bed in the morning and thought to myself that i shouldn't be driving when i'm this tired.

it was warm this morning/ afternoon, according to patients. i was in the practice the whole day so i couldn't tell haha.

got to assist with the excision of a skin lesion today! it wasn't very hard haha. was also put in a room with a patient on my own, and she started crying. -.- but the GP signed it off anyway. it wasn't my fault!

had dinner at nando's with ian, after our disappointment last night (the clayton wareca nando's was closed before midnight!). then rushed to the church office for Finding Your Voice. which was good. :)

so i've signed the contract. hmmm. thailand.. please let everything be okay soon.

want to watch Glee. want to have time to watch Glee. want to have time to watch anything, really. my eyebags are growing by the day.

i've loaded my supersampler! but forgot to bring it out yesterday so i haven't used it yet. it's difficult being limited by the lighting especially now that it's almost always so grey and dreary. i hope it's nice and sunny next saturday.

wedding! :) so exciting haha.

went to climb the thousand steps after church today, nearly died. well, no. but i think my legs will ache tomorrow.

ling ling baked banana cake and we're getting some. :) thank you! :)

Psalm 119
33
Teach me, O LORD, to follow your decrees;
then I will keep them to the end.

34 Give me understanding, and I will keep your law
and obey it with all my heart.

35 Direct me in the path of your commands,
for there I find delight.

36 Turn my heart toward your statutes
and not toward selfish gain.

37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
preserve my life according to your word.

38 Fulfill your promise to your servant,
so that you may be feared.

39 Take away the disgrace I dread,
for your laws are good.

40 How I long for your precepts!
Preserve my life in your righteousness.


went for the second part of the R3 talk this morning. :) then sent stuff to shaun's house and sent sophie home, and went for melissa's birthday party. :) didn't do the as we walk to the left as we walk to the right dance haha.

went home, then went to brandon park with ian and chun hoong to get an electric blanket/ food. brought chun hoong to collect his bag from dennis st, then dropped food off for graham, and dropped chun hoong home.

came home and stoned for a while. then we had couscous, egg, calamari, and veg for dinner. :) and went out for a random drive to carrum and back. dropped by horsey's place to look at the stars. :)

read up a bit for tuesday.. tired now, going to sleep heh. wish my eyebags weren't so permanent.

it never fails to amaze me...

slept late last night so it was a struggle getting up in the morning. lectures, consulting skills tute, dvd, lecture. nearly fell asleep once.

we were talking about singaporean politics at our table during lunch haha. and weddings and proposals on the moon, things like that. ;p quite funny.

played chinese whispers at lg, it was hilarious because of the weird things we were supposed to act out. and how the actions changed along the way..

i suppose it's one thing to condition yourself to ignore certain things, but it's a whole different level to be able to.. i don't know how to put it.. respond in the right way. someone i know (i can't remember who) would say respond rather than react. i don't really see the difference between the two words, but i understand what he means.

it's a different sort of dynamic, it's quite nice in a way.

went to send engineering people home after getting home myself, yong pin kept thanking me profusely haha.

and we got our elective/vacation rotation dates today, mine is 5/6 but perryn wants to swap for 4/5.. i'd like 6/7 ideally (zepeng's rotations) but on second thought, 4/5 isn't that bad either because it's pretty much a break in the middle of the year.. whereas 5/6 is really bad because i go off for 3 months only to have to come back to do a last proper rotation hmm. maybe i should swap with him.

and also my parents went to vietnam. mother didn't call me before leaving (which wasn't unexpected), but maybe she'd just wanted to ask me about the longchamp heh.

someone can't really be considered bitchy if they don't really mean it in a bad way.. can they?
