U-turn

Good friends are like u-turn's along the journey in my life. Whenever i m lost, they will just appear and let me make a u-turn so that i can start everything afresh.

=)

A great help from a coursemate

I've just got an email from a coursemate. She sorted out the lectures according to the modules and sent it to every1 in the course. It would be very difficult to sort all these out because the list of lectures is arranged according to the dates rather than based on the modules. It is a great help indeed! =)

Sharing is caring! =)

An MCQ

One of the routine stuff that i always have to do during the placements is to answer doctor's questions. Some of the popular questions that i always get asked include:
Where do you come from? (Thanks to my 'manglish'! =P)
How do you think of UK? (Just a 'follow-up' question after they know my nationality.)

And without fail, every single doctor that i met so far asked me the following question:

What do you want to specialise next time?

Seriously, I am not 100% certain about this. I still need more exposures to some specialities before i make up my mind. And i know even if i have made up my mind, the chance for me to get into my first choice specialty will be subject to the availability of the training posts. As you can see, it is full of possibilities.

I saw a diagram posted by a friend and i think it might be 'useful' to help those (including me) who want an answer for the MCQ (choosing 1 specialty from a long list of options). And here's the diagram:



Haha... not v helpful for me lar... but then good to read this when i m stressed a bit...

Happy or sad

Years ago, my bro sent me a wallpaper with a theme: happy or sad, you decide.

I am an adult as defined by the law, however, i think i am still in the transition period from a teenager to an adult. So practically i am still not quite an adult yet.

Compared to the "wei kang who used to live under the care of his parents", i do have more freedom now in deciding most of the things in my life. However, this means i am now fully responsible for myself and need to deal with all sorts of different challenges in life. Handling a variety of problems is indeed a very challenging task to be carried out on a daily basis. It is not easy but i m coping it.

Sometimes, i really wish that i can just go back home for a few days just to c my family, go out "lim teh" with papa, talk to mama while she is cooking, chat with my bros about sch life and other random stuff, and tease my sis (hehe... i enjoy this the most!). I just feel a lot better while i am with them, especially when i am stressed.

As for now, i just wanna be optimistic and persevere with the daily challenge while try to appreciate the happy moments in my life.

=)

Homesick

I am homesick again!

How i wish i can now have a meal with my family: papa, mama, wei jian, wei shen n xiao mei!

I just simply cant wait for my summer break to come...

Stressed but slacked

Work is piling up as exams are coming up soon...
As a normal reaction to this 'emergency situation', it is normal to be stressed. However, let's look at wat i did for the weekend:

Fri - Had a power nap after placement; skyped; had dinner; watched a movie; Zzzz.
Sat - Woke up; makan; skyped; went out for dim sum; grocery shopping; makan; skyped; makan again; watched a movie; blog-browsing and blogging.

I am goin to take a shower now and continue slacking till tomorrow morning. I must at least do some works b4 another hectic week kicks in.

Such a slacker i m.

Oh well... i think i will just do my best from now on.... jz do as much as i could ....
