because my ass needs rest

yay!
i think i'm gonna make wednesdays my favourite days from now on.
why, you ask?

BECAUSE i'VE GOT NO FREAKING CLASSES ON WEDNESDAYS!!!!!!!
(ok fine.maybe not alllll wednesdays. but the occasional wednesdays. which is good enough for me :P)

sigh.
having slept at 4 am on tuesday and waking up at 7.30 just to make it in time for the 8 am ward rounds..........

wednesdays shall now be officially called my resting-ass-weds.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
i feel soooooooooooooo relaxed!!
i feel unrushedddddddddddd
and i feel....at peaceeee
gosh
it's been long since i've felt like that :(
although i've still got to research for my pbl and type it out....but oh well...
enjoy first!!
HEH HEH

lets talk a lil about uni, since i never really got down to talking about it.

this year in year 3, the batch has been divided into two seperate groups, that being surgical and medical.
i've been assigned to the surgical part of things.

in surgery itself, it's then divided into different rotations, ie general surgery, urology, and ortho.
i'm curently on the general surgery rotation.

so what happens on a normal day? now that we don't have lectures anymore??
wellll folks, unfortunately for me in year 3, academic objectives are now expected to be fulfilled via SDL.
what is SDL?
omgawd
freaking SELF-DIRECTED-LEARNING!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ok fine. it's not too bad...
but i'm just lacking the motivation (and hardworking-ness) to grace myself through.

every other day is filled with things like bed-side, where u present a patient's case one-on-one to a doctor and ......depending on who your doctor is, you may either be
a) bombarded with questions (which is what my tutors do)
b) made to look/feel stupid (which is also what my tutors do)
c) ignored (thank god i haven't gotten one like that, YET!)
d) scolded/screamed at (none of my tutors are the scolding type so far, but you never can tell, can you?)

geeee
i've seen and heard loadsa stories where practising-consultants become all high and mighty and snotty and start screaming and shouting and the housemens' around. aiyoyo
is this what is in store for me in the future?

other than bedsideS we have two problem-based-learning, where we are dutied to research and report and present and....gosh

clinical skills where we learn venepuncture, IV cannulations and bla bla bla

theme teaching

OTs

clinical rotations

aiya...thinkng about my academic syllabus is alreading making me tired.
geeee

and in every rotation that you go through, you'll be designated a ward that will be your life and day.
but of course, you're given the option to roam the entire hospital and invade any other ward.

as we've been told a gazillion times
"this is your hospital. do what you like"

bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
patients are gonna be my best friends from now on
:)

UPDATES!

ok.
so lately i've been out-and-back again in the blogging world, putting blogging and writing and ranting in the public scene as my last priority.

how is JB so far?
honestly, not too bad.
save for my huge paranoia of being robbed/kidnapped/.......

everytime i'm walking and i hear the rumble of a motorbike's engine, my heart takes a leap as i clutch on to all my belongings tightly and try to go as far in to the side of the road as far as i can.
oh ya..i also try to make myself invisible by shutting up too :P

sigh

but other than that, it's not too bad.

have been hanging out loads with the meddies since we all practically live in the same place.
to simply put it, they're my new family now.
but of course, i miss the real ones and the old ones way tooooooooooo much at times.
geeeee

and if anyone was wondering, yeahhh
P has gone back to the land of the "great down under".
so there goes one part of me. long distance takes it's toll yo..but at the end of the day, it's worth it :)
thereforeeeeeee i'm not going to elaborate much lest i burst into tears all over again and god knows i've done enough of that. :S

and babi sial..
i'll save my complaints for my shit loada work for another day.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! is enough to say it all i suppose.

ngek.
other than that, JB's been a blast.
:)

heh. time flies

so there we have it.
chinese new year 2008, year of the rat.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!!!!!!

and just so we all know, i'll be headin down to Johor BAhru this coming sunday for my year 3 clinicals.
yes, i'll be there in year 3 and year 4 so everyone..prayyyyyy with me that the crime rates in JB will drop. i swear i'm more freaked out about the lurkers or criminals in JB than about the workload/stress that's coming my way.ahhhh!! pepper spray pepper spray!!!!!!!!
and i think i'm gonna buy myself a fannypack/pouch to sling around my waist and to get me a new bagpack so that no one can pull a "snatch-theft" on me yo.

so in relation to the new year 2008, this shall be one year with no handbags and no slingbags.
what man.
oh, and also no sleeveless or strappy clothings but big baggy t-shirts and jeans. no skirts, no shorts, no blah.

can you tell that i'm NOT looking forward to JB?

(think happy think happy!)..uh..happily, i managed to pack allllll my stuff in 3 days! am i proud, or am i proud?

(think happy think happy!)..uh..also happily, i think i've made it into the "auntie and si-lais pro-evolution club". have been grocery shopping (bought detergent, flour, eggs, la la la), baking(cupcakes and jellies), washing the floor, baby sitting, writing lists/grocery lists and. ok. that's enough.

honestly, i'm not looking forward to uni commencing. especially when i've done nothing else but to sleep, lepak, eat and sleep again these past 3 months.

and obviously, i've adapted to this "lazy" routine ever so quickly, but having to re-adapt myself againt to the more hectic schedule is definitely going to be murderous.

sheeeeeeeeeeeesh
and to only have to start uni earlier than the other peeps and have my holidays cut short by a few weeks........
GAWD
SAVE ME!

ok.
again
can you tell that i'm not looking forward to go to JB??????????
