Lazy…
Sigh…im just sooooo lazy. hehe, i was supposed to go for hospital attachment yesterday but somehow i had a bad headache in the morning so i decided not to wake up for it =)
well yeah, there’s stil tomorrow, and that’s if Pn Jong’s (the teacher that im supposed to be relieving during her maternity leave) baby decided not to come out that early. she claims that she may have to go for c-section this friday (which is tomorrow)…but until then, i would still be doin my attachment in Surgery Department.
Actually my whole week in Surgery Dept wasnt productive. mainly because i was lazy too. but, such coincidence, i met a senior from IMU who’s in St Georges doing his final year. so, we had a chitchat about lives in london and the systems there…=) and that very morning, i got a call from st teresa’s school to report for duty. asking for permission to leave, i went off to st teresa’s to report the the principal. Unfortunately, Pn. Jong wasnt around and i had to go back the following day so that she can hand over her duty to me. But i was lazy to go back to the hospital in the afternoon, instead i went to my old school across the road to lepak for awhile. it felt so good to be back in my old school, St Joseph Kuching… met some old teachers. some remembered, some forgotten…but it still feels good to see them! =)
haha, the next day, i went to meet Pn Jong in the staffroom. She was preparing the list of duties that she has to handle (which i have to carry on when i take over her position =0 ) and, my oh my, it’s a huge load. now i know why my mum and sis’ keep on complaining or their workloads…listing all her duties, it’ll take me a whole day! =) ohya, for those who didnt noe about it, she’s teaching maths and add maths, so im gonna be teaching that too…stupid ganesh owez doubt my ability to teach. have to prove him wrong…hopefully!
however, yesterday i spent the whole morning in the main OT observing simple mastectomies. man, really, the amount of fat tissue underneath the breast amazes me. no wonder women have two times the amount of fat compared to guys…but i didnt get to palpate though…i shud have asked for permission. the surgeon, Mr Zam is a willing teacher. i was in the main OT with a few other Unimas Yr5 students i believe. but hell yeah, mastec is indeed scary. not the procedure, but the after-look is so abnormal ( i mean it looks weird to have one missing breast la…no offense to those who’ve done mastec) so love ur breast ppl, check them regularly…this goes to guys as well. haha…
and apparently, i was asked by sister rokayah to give a small talk to a group of spm-leavers who’re applying to do medicine before their interview. these group of kasihan ppl have to go for 3-days orientation at hospitals to see and listen to doctors life. and to the mortuary as well…=) imagine those kids watching bodies with their facial skin peeled off….(scary movie ;0 but that wasnt the case la). all the best to them in their interviews. ohya, and a malay gal refused to shook my hand…and talking about that, i forgot to tell her that’s a requirement in order to become a doctor. =)
next week, i’ll be goin to cardiology unit. that’s if im not working… btw, i was told that the cardiology unit in sarawak is one of the best in southeast asia…very advanced with the fastest scanning machine is SEA. but, i dunno la…i’ll tell u more when or if i get attached there next week. man, our place is just so ulu…haha

haha, what ulu? surpass my expectations then since you guys have the fastest scanning machine in SEA. Lol ;p my Kuching friend used to laugh at me and says she lives up in a tree with her Mercedes parked under it.
Tsk tsk pls don’t go scaring all those ladies who are undergoing mastectomies and if you visit them in wards, you should be extra extra smiley to them after their surgeries, they’d love it 
have fun with ur attachment, don’t influence your students naughtily pls. haha.
taka care and have fun!

haha, well, did i mention that our hospitals are up on the trees as well? its huge though… a few thousand of trees are needed to hold the whole place together. very canggih! ohh, and did i mention that the mercedez is very big?its public buses… very rare too coz we use more of sampans here! =) well, i figured out that its better for me not to smile much at them. what if they think that im laughing at their loss and thence lead them to clinical depression? wouldnt take the risk…dun worry about my students. they’ll do just fine under my guidance. hehe, maybe abit last minute work just like me =) u kuai kuai study for ur usmle yah. niwe, thanx for dropping by to post a comment…

not going home ’til year end…
yeah, he’s a cardiologist (Alan Fong). I don’t think it would be that hard to find him in the wards, he spends so much time in the hospital when i was back end of last year.
Everything is ok laa… nothing really exciting to talk about, but will call you if i ever get back again. if i remember correctly my number is 016 808 6076
