Tired but inspired

For the past 2 years i always wondered how come i nvr felt like a medical student even i was already 1. I felt as if i was just like a college boy who went for lectures, did assignments, went out to lepak sometimes, etc etc. I did have opportunities to go for attachments for a few times but it was insufficient to give me the feel for being a medic boy.

Finally, i m now at the start of my clinical years. I was really really excited about this as i could finally go to the hospital with my sthetoscope and OHCM in the pockets of my white coat. More importantly, i can finally have more contact with the patients and be able to learn stuff from the clinical staffs.

However, life is not just about excitements. I did have a tough period to adjust my life from a pre clinical year medic to a clinical year's one. I have to wake up early, hop on to a bus in a slpy state with half opened eyes, go for tutorials, take patients' medical histories, perform physical examinations and bla bla bla. There are so many things can be done in the hospital but i think i m always lack of energy to sustain my enthusiasm to learn those stuff.

I m really really tired but i m also very very inspired by the stuff that i learnt in the placements. I shall have more rest to continue my learning journey in the coming days.

Gonna take a shower now n have an early night! Ta~

Today's horoscope

Just read the today's horoscope section of yahoo! which is about the capricorn:

Your enthusiasm can make things happen. Don't keep all that power to yourself.

N.B. in life

To me, life is like a book. This book was written since the day we were created as a zygote, and it will be concluded when our life ends. In different chapters, there are various remarks made by ppl around us. These remarks are like the 'N.B. points', which means points that need to be noted well.

Here are some of the 'N.B. points' which are recorded in my 'book' so far:

'We learn from our experience, whether it is a good or bad one.'

'Everything seems to be better in the morning.'

'You will be alright soon, don't worry.'

'When you cant deal with many problems at one time, then tackle them one by one.'

'Don't dwell and think too much about your problems'

'Everyday is a happy day!'

'Everything happens for a reason.'

'Obstacles in our life are the tests given by the God. Those tests are given to us to make us stronger and more resilient.'

'To end a sentence the fullstop is needed. In the same way, stop the germination of negative thoughts by applying the brakes of positive thoughts.'

'Smile for ppl who love you and most importantly, smile for yourself.'

'ALWAYS REMEMBER TO FORGET THINGS THAT MAKE YOU SAD but NEVER FORGET TO REMEMBER THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GLAD.'

So, have you got anything that u think you can 'N.B.' my book? If yes, you are most welcomed to do so.

Stay positive, be happy and KEEP SMILING! =)

Numbed

...

Busy? or Lazy?

I just realised i havent been reading the paper nicely since the day i came back to Cardiff. It is kind of rare that i, a person who still read paper everyday even in exam period, could actually forgo the pleasure of reading the paper for the past 1 week.

Am i too busy? or m i just being so lazy that i just feel like slpin as much as possible whenever i m free?

I dunnoe.

Shine

This afternoon i just got a song from SL. It is quite an inspiring song!

Artist: Vanessa Amorosi
Title: Shine

You say that you never had a mum
And nobody needs you
So cry, so cry
You believe that life rolls by
Just to deceive you
By your time, by your time
You're getting old
And the longer you take
The slower your pain will grow
It will grow, it will grow
You can close your eyes
And hope that when you open them
You've got a brand new life
Do you find, you can't hide?


You can give your life
You can lose your soul
You can bang your head
Or you can drown in hole
Nothing lasts forever
But you can try
Look around you
Everyone you see
Everyone you know
Is going to shine


Grow up and make the best of what you've got
Of what you've got,
Of what you've got
The days are going by and you're sittin' on your arse
And you're wondering why, why, why, yeah


You can give your life, or
You can lose your soul
You can bang your head
Or you can drown in a hole
Nothing lasts forever
But you can try
Look around you
Everyone you see
Everyone you know
Is going to shine

You can bang your head
Or you can drown in a hole
Nothing lasts forever
But you can try
Look around you
Everyone you see
Everyone you know
Is going to shine

You say that you never had a mum
And nobody needs you
So cry, so cry, so cry
You believe that life rolls by just to deceive you
By your time, well by your time
Your getting old
And the longer you take the slower you'll pain will grow
It'll grow, it'll grow
You can close your eyes
And hope that when you open them
You've got a brand new life

You can give your life or
You can lose your soul
You can bang your head
Or you can drown in a hole
Nothing lasts forever
But you can try
Look around you
Everyone you see
Everyone you know
Is going to shine

You can bang your head
Or you can drown in a hole
Nothing lasts forever
But you can try
Well look around you
Everyone you see
Everyone you know
Is going to shine

Don't don't, don't don't you do it

Yeah, so let's shine!

Trying to catch my breath

The journey for Year 3 MBBCh has already begun. While still wondering what lies ahead of this journey, I already find that it is quite hard to pace myself on this 'highway'. Will things get more complex? Or will they become a lot easier after I have found the correct ways of learning them?

Well, i m now just taking a short break and trying to catch a lil breath before continuing my journey.

Alright, time to get my feet to move again. 'Left, right, left, right...'

Being a professional

My new term started with the Professional Awareness and Development Day. During this session, my colleagues and I were given some talks regarding professionalism in health care sector by speakers from various healthcare departments and organisations.

I was very inspired by a sentence mentioned by one of the speakers, who is also a consultant physician, during her speech:

"A professional is a person who can give his/her best (even) when feeling the worst."

I shall bear this in my mind.
