This was however until I discovered a gem in a second hand shop in Bandung, Indonesia. It grabbed my attention immediately and considering that it was around RM 15 (USD 4) I quickly snatched it up. Finally yesterday, after getting it almost three months ago, I felt brave enough to give it a go. I have decided that I will wear it more often.

Today marks the start of my medicine posting. End of posting test for surgery was on Friday and I got a 100 year-old patient to clerk and examine. Seriously, how many people can say that they have clerked and examined a 100 year-old patient. He was a farmer who retired when he was 80. Other than the fact that he had obstructive jaundice secondary to gallstones, gout which he developed 8 years ago and the usual sight and hearing loss, this man was as fit as a fiddle. Amazing.

i think I did okay for the test. My lecturer didn't comment much on it except that I have to work on my diagnosis and elaborate more on that and my planned investigations should be more streamlined. Hope I pass!

I know this is way, way late but I got my 21 key from Tiffany's for my birthday (which was in August) and i forgot to post pictures of it. It's so pretty... And of course, as it's my first Tiffany and being the complete freak that I am, I took the whole unwrapping process.( pictures behind the cut. )

I can't take it anymore. Are women really this blind? I'm ashamed to identify myself as female anymore. Listen here, honey. Off the back of your head, if highlights of your relationship is more cringe-worthy than laughs, get out! Get out as fucking fast as you can because you're going to be miserable for the rest of your life.

Don't tell me I don't understand. Don't fucking tell me I don't understand. What would I know? Baby, being a 21 year-old virgin with no previous history of a relationship is all I need to be to tell you that you deserve a better man. Why? Because my vastly massive cerebral cortex has not been invaded by the fuzzies you would call love (which I call plain stupidity).

If your man makes you feel bad about yourself, if a man makes you feel unworthy, if a man makes you cry most of the time, he does not have your best interests at heart. I've had my string of broken hearts. Who hasn't? Worse of all, I've held a torch for a guy who I thought was interested in me for 6 years. Six fucking years. Six wasteful years of my life. That torch has now been doused with several gallons of water and thrown into the sea (thank god!)

Don't tell me I don't understand because being a woman makes me understand by default. Everyone wants to be happy. It's a god-given fact. So, the question is, are you truly happy?

Finally the trailer for A Single Man is out. No pun intended. The movie is based on a novel of the same title written by Christopher Isherwood and the movie is written and directed by ex-Gucci's Tom Ford. It's about a college professor who lost his long-time partner and how he tries to cope with his loss and plans to off himself. 

I wasn't really a fan of Gucci when Tom Ford was in charge of it but I have to admit that the man knows how to sell his ideas. There was beauty and a certain commercial value in his collections I have to admit but it wasn't my thing. However, looking at this trailer, it looks bloody fantastic. With such a stellar cast of Colin Firth, Julianne Moore and Matthew Goode, I really can't wait to see this movie. It debuted in the Venice Film Festival recently and got good reviews so I'm really eager to watch it.


And really, with such eye-candy from the massively talented Matthew Goode, how can I resist?

I just got back from my first A&E session in the red zone. It's 2.10 am now on my watch. Holy crap, it was glorious!

It's nothing like ER or House or Grey's Anatomy. There's more system malfunction, more groaning than screaming, cool and calm doctors, clueless medical students in the periphery and not as action packed as how they are portrayed on screen. 

I got to help out a blood transfusion, clean wounds from an MVA (motor vehicle accident) patient, tie a patient with DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis) down and watch observe the many procedures done by the doctors. 

Have you had a moment of clarity before? Like somehow you feel elated and there's that feeling of destiny and fate? I got that tonight. My epiphany. I am meant to do this. I am meant to be a doctor. I am meant to help and save people. And just maybe, perhaps, possibly, I could belong in A&E. 




PS: They doctor commented that I seem very enthusiastic in A&E. I couldn't agree more and I couldn't be happier.
