Happy Sunday.

Happy Daffodil's Day, March 20th. Support the Irish Cancer Society allright.

Fresh daffodils from the hospital to show some supports

Happy Irish/European Mother's Day, March 22nd.

Happy post-Grand Slam Irish beaten the Welsh. Go O'Driscoll's lads!

Life is still a bit monotonous for me regardless. I tried to paint as much as yellow on to it, as spring coming along. It's still like - woke up with the smell of coffee and toast, weigh myself on the scale beside the coffee table, went back to bed with a partially broken heart (needle on weighing scale remained at where it was yesterday) to finish the presentation/case reviews/studying/stalking on Facebook on the computer. Seemed similar like yesteryears.

I attended another conference in Kildare yesterday and got injected by the spirit again. This must be how it feels like when people get collagen or botox injection. Bouncy, youthfully, full of energy. Mau jadi hebat!

Anywhoo. I realized how my quality of life has gone from bad to worse. A typical on-call with all work and no sleep is very bad, if one gets a no sleep call but less list of jobs is considered a good call. Last Thursday I got an hour flat sleep and I considered that as a great call! How pathetic!

BTW that Thursday call, I attended a meconium delivery at wee hours in the morning. The baby delivered allrite no problems, I was cleaning his meconium stained face and body when out of the sudden he just absent-mindedly peed all over me. There I was, half-awake with scrubs smelled like poo and pee.

I then was called to A&E when a wheezy child came in. The Indian A&E nurse, looking at my soaked top then knowing the story said - in my place when you're being peed by a newborn baby like that they said you're gonna get married soon.

Wah how can?

working weekend

Every year I celebrate the start of the most awaited season of the year, spring. The daffodils have started blooming on the motorway, the sun is out most of the days, you and me are happy.

I am smiling these days, for few reasons :)

Life is tough going, but one will hope and pray that there will be lights at the end of this dark and gloomy journey.

Scrub pants saying

6/6/08 - Last on-call as an intern

I still have endless call list for an SHO until the end of rotation in July. Let's not focus on that yet. Will swallow the bitterness slowly as they come along.

My latest post-call antidote.

Cheese and pineapple toasted sandwiches!

Don't worry I won't go double dose on them when I'm doing back to back calls. Sanity still prevails (although the calls are really driving me crazy).

See you party people on Monday. Tuesday is Paddy's Day = Public Holiday. Yay!

where the heart is

I made a last minute decision of buying a return ticket home, instead of the initial plan of travelling to Eastern Europe alone for my one week break after A&E shift ends. It was indeed a wiser plan. The journey home was excruciating, but once I breathed the homeland air it became refreshing.

One week was a tad bit short, but the shorter time I had the wiser the plans made. The usual 2 weeks activities were cramped in half. My apologies to good friends I didn't have time to meet, or the short time spent with whom I had. You guys were demi-good.

I figured life without these 3 Fs would be meaningless. Family, Friends, and great Food.

I'm back in the stab city. On-call on my first day back, no surprise there. On-call again the whole weekend. If good life is a dream, then it must be one hella good dream I had last week. Now awaken and back to a bad reality.
