just did a crazy thing this afternoon - that is to sign up for the singapore marathon yet again, after some coaxing by jianbang. haha, now i'm psycho-ing my buddy wong yi, to run with me for companionship. kao, 42.195km, i wonder how i'm gg to reach the finishing line this time round without much training, tks to the 'joyous' hours in hospital wards. die, think i'll dehydrate and den be hyperkalaemic before dying from some arrythemias halfway thru the run. oops, what a horrible way to die. yuckz!

have been setting up tonnes of IV plugs and drawing tonnes of blood from patients these days. taking over as much work from the nurses, HOs and even the M5 students on student internship programmes around to try to gain as much experience before leaving this posting. got into so much fun that i even stayed back to do 2 more night calls till 5.30am in the morning! i think i'm totally crazy about medicine already. 2 more weeks left before end-of-posting tests and i'm so not looking forward to it. pui. and there's still the presentations and writeups to do... kao, y must they toture students, or am i just grumbling too much? oh well, i dun care, i just wanna rattle my ass off here! i have my rights too... haha! yeah, school's starting soon for everyone. how wonderful that is because finally everyone can start their tortures together with us med students. yeah, i'm an evil kid! bleah!

范逸臣 - Love Story

爱的故事有很多
你一定听过
她们说
最美的爱情像湖泊
美的忍不住停留
而任性的风
吹过了
却飘下一片片叶落
放开手往北方走
留下伤心的树独自忍受
你离开我连一句话都不说
只默默看着今晚天空星光闪烁

看今夜的流星
划过了天际
笑我的心
我无法再冷静
请你要倾听
你是我的唯一
我不愿去相信
我们之间
隔着海洋的距离
我的爱
已融化在空气里

in the med soc lounge after my 2nd night call in nuh. gonna sleep here too after this post. pretty eventful night considering that i finally managed my 1st IV plug on an old man. otherwise, there was nothing much to consider because there wasn't many patients being admitted either. sianz... tot i could poke n see blood many more times tonight. oh well, things been pretty busy ard in nuh. busy finding and talking to patients, busy having tutorials and presentations, busy with union camp, busy getting to people's 21st bday parties and busy with trying to figure out what's going on in my life actually too. grr.. it's going at too fast a pace for me and omg, end of posting test is in 3 weeks' time. shit! i need more time for myself and for my books.

i need sleep. totally in need of it. been clocking 3 hrs/night this week and next week will be worse when i join the nus union camp as a counsellor after hospital everyday. die die die. and talking abt death, a patient whom my cg clerked together died this morn, a cardiac patient for my cofm case study had cardiac arrest twice and my asthma uncle whom i clerked 3 days ago got warded yesterday, on the very same day that he was discharged, for breathing complications again and says he wanna die soon. die, so many deaths. sigh. oh, and i'm now having some H5N1 bird flu strain vaccine in my body after being jabbed today for $100 as part of prof tambyah's research for a bird flu vaccine worldwide. cool, if the vaccine works, i'm part of the pioneer for the vaccine!! what a sacrifice i made!! haha. on hindsight, i've made friends with 2 new female HOs (who keep giving me cases!), 2 new nurses and 2 nursing students! cool x 2! haha, hopefully i can turn nuh wards into a friendlier place than when we came in! yah rite! my next mission: to make prof kueh let her hair down from her bun (only pple who've seen her before knows why). if i can do that, i think i'm a legendary god liao! haha!
