then normally they go out for dinner after that...

cos i jsut knew them so i tot they wont know its my birthday...

so they said got exams then all not gg for dinner.. so me and my frens (who stay nearby me) asked mi to go to the supermarket with them.. then by that time i abit emo/blur/tired so i din suspect anything.. haha..

then went i got back.. they open their door(they stay next door to me) and i saw like a flash or smth...

immediately i tot... siao liaoz... electric shock? cos not raining cant be lightning..

THEN CAME THE PROBLEMS...

Untouched By Time

now its like 1147 in melb. haha... in 13 mins it will be my birthday...

oh well, just another day haha...

but i HAVE TO SAY!!

untouched by time.. hahaha

i mean.. im 22 liaoz and i still look like im 17 or 18 (some ppl say younger)

and no one says i look 22 (i quite like it)

i just hope that on day even when im 50, i will still look 25... hahaha

so yea.. keep the compliments coming... haaha

Idiot Blogger

Wah lao.... zzzzzzz

i posted smth then blogger tell mi got some problem.... sigh

oh well.. i think i was saying smth abt studying genetics yesterday. like the whole day.

and on tuesday, i had my kung fu grading. getting my white belt... -.-

haha.. i think i shld be able to get it. oh well... hahaha.

and on wed, i had my ICM tutorial.

ICM = Intro to Clinical Management

its like teaching us how to interview patients, what info we need and stuff.

its a balance of getting medical info and communication skills, plus memory work.

not as easy as it seems...

and for our exam(its called the OSCE)

OSCE= Objective Structured Clinical Examination

they pay actors to be patients and yeam its realli realli realistic. haha

and for pract, they came to class and i was one of 4 students the teacher picked to interview her(prolly cos i don talk much in class)

man was i nervous... haha.. i think i was shaking la but i didnt show it.

there is sort of like a checklist and halfway i just tot aiya to hell with it, just talk to her normally and see what comes...

to my surprise, it just flowed and yea, i got all the info while making the patient feel at ease.

The comments:
the "patient" enjoyed it and said it was just like a conversation, and i was very friendly. haha
my teacher say i did well, and it didnt seem like a consultation, whilst still managing to get all the required info. she oso added that she and the class was like being sucked into our conversation, waiting to see what happens next.

and that i kinda realised... yes... this is what i wanted all along

yea.. i do stuff differently...

i'll nv be the smartest person or the person who rmbs the most stuff...
i never will be the best doctor there is...
but i can make the patient feel good...
i can do stuff in my own way and still achieve the desired result...
and yea...
i enjoyed the "consultation"

haha...

today had my genetics pract.

had to draw family trees and stuff... have to predict the risk of genetic conditions. so mani types and kinds of mutations.

types:
Autosomal Dominant
Autosomal Recessive
X- linked dominant
X- linked recessive

so mani la... got damn blur... had to go for the pract twice... haha.. 6 hrs gone.. -.-

lol... ter ar... how i know what i wanna go into sia... i mean.. u want and u can is 2 so diff tingys

but i do hope i can get into surgery

OB/GYN(surgery) , neurosurgery or cardiothoracic surgery also...

so tough and compeititive. sigh... but i will do my best..

truth is i'll settle for surgery.. haha... or if i cant, psychiatry...

i hope to work in a govt hospital....

though mani frens ask mi to open clinic and stuff. like have a few doctors work together haha..

co-op medicine. like get a plastic surgeon, psy, ob/gyn/ paediatrician/ lawyer/ TCM practioner and stuff.... sounds fun and all but yea... i would be a surgeon anytime... haha

so i guess this is my plans for now... and for my year 3 i have 1 year of research.

hope to get surgery at Royal Melbourne Hospital
or prolly some research in neuroscience.

alot to choose from haven seen all.. can choose to do in Singapore oso LOL.

anyways hope u guys are good. got to go back to studyin le.. good luck

Time Flies

Actually, one thought is really scary...

which is time realli flies....

i mean. before it was like i just started my sem 1 of 12 (-.-)

sem 1 has 12 weeks in total of sch. and now its like week 10. in ard 1 mths time my exams will END.

that is fast....

not that im complaining.. i realli hope to graduate and start working...

i grad in 2013.... haha.. that is sooo sad....

and its like almost mid year liaoz.... time realli flies. we realli have to treasure what we have...

also, have to thank lay see.

bcos of her, now i have a life. haha.. she intro mi this tv streaming link where i can see tv/movies...

hahaha... shiok.... seeing "Monk" and "Greys Anatomy"

but i onli got like 6gb of bandwidth per month so can see limited stuff. haha.

anyways got exams oso so shld watch less

so my point is....

i making one step away from totally LIFELESS

i do have stuff i like.

i do enjoy non medical stuff...

i am still human

=)

Back to work

So 6 days after i fell sick, i have recovered.

yay for me.

so how did i celebrate?

i studied the whole topic of genetics. sigh. and i bought my fav sushi from a place called sea salt.

sells damn goog sushi. if u guys come i bring u go. haha. i'll take some picts nxt time. (normally it gets eaten too fast for pics).

my fav ones:

cripsy chicken sushi
cooked salmon sushi
chicken teriyaki sushi
seafood inari (5 stars for this one)

learning genetics is rather depressing

u know how ppl say.. keep gg for regular checkups and stuff

and nxt time would u do a genetic test on your child (pre-natally)

i mean, i dunno. i guess sometimes ignorance is bliss.

even if u find out there is smth, i mean. what can u do.

is not knowing better? i guess for this i'd rather not know...

unless i know and i know it can be cured. =) haha

mayb its fate? its in God's hand.

anyway congrats on jm's 5th mth and the fact he has a blog. looking forward to more interesting posts. haha.

happy 22th birthday to Daniel Lim (im bad at rmbing birthdays)
