Life's pretty normal with lectures and hospital stuff. The only highlight so far would be getting back into endoscopy AND drawing out the propofol AND administering it! under the watchful eye of the anaesthetist of course! ok he wasn't really STARING at me give it but he was there just making sure that the patient isn't going to wake up on me. =)

everything was a first for me! drawing it out, handling sharps and everything! Finally something procedural! I know it sounds really trivial but it IS my first time doing all these stuff on a REAL patient! woots!

Just had a 5-hr ward round this morning. Radiology meeting was pretty cool looking at all the CTs, MRIs etc! Was still pretty hard to understand what they were talking about since all i see right now are like grey, black and white. hehe! alright i can identify structures but they were scanning through the slices so quickly that it was pretty difficult to follow! Went off to ward rounds thereafter and I was so glad we had the 'metabolic meeting' at 10.30am. Wondering what that is? Basically all the teams just stop work and head upstairs to the RMO quarters for makan! HAHA! Talk about welfare!

Was going to clerk 2 more patients after lunch but they both had family with them so we might do it our tutorial/lecture at 2pm. Which would be followed by a pharmacy tutorial at 3pm and then a dermatology tut at 5pm (which is really interesting AND because the reg is really pretty too!)

Was societies day yesterday and it was good! saw heaps of friends and free drinks too! Motto of the day: Two hands, Two cans! That was pasted on the walls everywhere! Another friend of mine had 10 cans! OMG and she was still alright! niceee.

Went to pear1's surprise birthday party last night! was pretty going hanging out with friends and having a tour of their new house! it is huge! pretty convenient too. Just around the corner from salamanca and town.

There's an Overs3a Singapor3an Unit dinner at Henr7 Jone5 Hotel at 6pm so yay! Nice nice dinner!

So ya, it has been a rather busy week. But I LOVE IT!

Early in the morning at 8 o'clock

Got to the hospital early for ward rounds/patient clerking but there were too many people already so we had to leave. bahh. so now i'm in the computer lab just chilling and making use of the free internet. i should really go get some work done. hahaha! 

had our TUMS5 yusheng on friday which was not too bad honestly! although i did have to cut all the vegetables by hand because the shredder wasn't working for me. didn't mind it much but i had to cut from 1-5pm. imagine that. must be damn pro by now! hahaha! 

went over to elvin3's on sat for dinner. we had the teochew style yusheng with salmon instead. then a steamed fish, steamboat, mango pudding, yummy champagne (brown brothers zibbibo) and some other muscato too! ended up watching random youtube videos on the tv and then they played blackjack while i just slept on the sofa because it was like 1+am already. got home at like 2am and immediately concussed on my bed. but it was fun la! minus the fact that i poked myself when i was descaling my first ever fish! ouch! 

sunday was spent in town with the freshers, bringing them around etc and had a celebratory 2 scoops of my favourite ice cream at mure5! =) absolute love! i will definitely bring you guys to try it when you're here! 

it's going to be an interesting year ahead! woots! exciting exciting! but i'm so busy with uni. bleargh. lots of OTOT stuff so many not that bad. but it just means a hell lot of SDL. eeks!

I've got a cute intern, a nice reg and hopefully alright consultants! =) Basically I've got an awesome team! YAY! The intern's really really nice too cos he used to help us during our practicals and everyone just gushes about him. Incentive for morning ward rounds much? =P

Nothing interesting to update really. Except that my room is so quiet that my ears are ringing. =S

Not the phone. the REAL ones.
