It's been a tiring, hot and nice day. I went jogging, then on the way back, rented a DVD, Bourne Supremacy. It was such a good show, no twists but it's cool watching all the mind games Jason Bourne was playing. Then after the movie, I creeped to Yishun to surprise darling. Went there to accompany her home. Had a drink and some food for supper with her.
There's a nice trail from Bukit Timah Nature Reserve that leads to Macritchie Reservior Park. Anyone interested? Jun yuen is... It's a 4 hour walk, not many difficult slopes. Good good cardio exercise, about 12 clicks. Anyone interested?

Woooo, I've finally boarded the movie rental wagon. It's so fun and the price is reasonable. There's this automated shop (with an automated system) at the shops near my neighbourhood. The machine is so cool and fun to use, and yah, great idea.
Well, I was out with Alvin and Kok yesterday, it was too early to go home so we decided to rent a movie or two to go kok's house to watch (did I mention we're engaging in ah pek activities already?) Thought there was a manned shop at my neighbourhood, but it turned out to be a automated machine with staff around doing registeration. The price they offered per rental was cheap so i decide to sign up immediately. What's cool is, they have fingerprint identification along with the card. The card is a stored value card (sort off, i'm sure the cash value is not stored on the card) and ya, we rented Harold and Kumar Goes to the White Castle. We laughed our heads off man, they were dissing racism in the US.
Anyway, check the movie rental thingy out...

Well... I've just figured that my post yesterday didn't get thru to blogspot. So it's at the bottom... But yah, will just write about today...
The final day at AH, the people there are all so nice and warm. Today was a relaxing day, not many patients. Quite relaxed and i've gotten a pretty report from Qiqi, the liason officer. Think she wrote nice comments for everyone. Well, today, part two of the "tummy upset" drama continued. Was trying very hard to not eat nonsense, and not drink too much. But with diarrhoea, not drinking is like suicide...
Hello all, been a few days since i've blogged. I've been busy dealing with my stomach upset and also as u all know, my hospital attachment. I've been happy these few days, work is very challenging and it really keeps me on my heels. I've been posted in the outpatient X-ray acentre in AH. Wah, loads of patients. Really need to work fast and accurate. So fun! Hahaha... And hmmm... learnt alot from this weird little middle aged malay (???) lady and yah, the NHG Calendar girl QiQi.

Just watched The Pacifier with darling just now. The show was damn funny and Red Baby is sooooooo adorable! His eyes and his cute little smile. Woah...
Work's been fun at X-ray 1 today thanks to Frances's MC again! Did alot of x-rays today with one particular special view that just read off the manual just before i do the x-ray, never learn before siah. Oh, I experimented with the cassette screens, so fun, I exposed the screens without the films and the lights all off. Wah... glorious glorious green... Sweeeee...
Now i know, that the screens do play a part hahaha...
PS, non DR friends, bet you ppl don't understand a shit... Too bad...

It's been a pretty good week at Alexendra Hospital, the department i was in is so relaxing and nothing much to do. Got to run the shop by ourselves and yup, it was totally fun. Lu Lu is a nice and well mannered radiographer who'll thank me and qinhui for any thing we do. The thing that sucks about AH is the canteen. The food really cannot make it. Only the western food stall sells ok-ish food. And all the fats involved in western food turned me off. But yah, in general i'm enjoying my stay in AH. Learnt quite alot of erm... non-textbook projections which project much nicer films. And yeah, it's conventional. So we have to be spot on with the exposure factors, good way to refine my techniques.
Oh yeah, and at X-ray 1 need to use dark room. The red light and the darkness is so damn creepy. Cannot make it, I keep thinking of scenes from Shutter whenever i'm in the dark room. I keep thinking that there'll be blood torrenting from the sink. and a face popping out of the film. Well, all those didn't happen...
Went night cycling with Kok last night. It was fun doing the Primer's route all over again. Cleared the whole route in 2 hour plus, good speed. It was really a damn shiok feeling to draft a bus, picked up alot of speed siah... hahaha...

Hello everyone. Haven't blogged about anything for quite a number of days. I've started my clinical attachment and man... it feels good. I'm posted at Alexendra Hospital. It's such a nice place... The garden is pretty, the butterflies (when they appear) are so cute. Hmmm, the X-ray department is very very interesting. Don't understand why they specially build another room in the far corner. Anyway, the staff there are nice. I'm paired up with Qinhui and my supervisor is this lady called Maricris. She's nice, and she's getting married, and she's happy. The pace at AH is slow and nice, and sleepy. Ha! I'm soo sleepy...

Yeah!! The exams are FINALLY over! Although the clinical attachment start next week, i'm still super happy! Yeah! It's the holidays!!! sort off...
Think both papers went relatively well, Rad Bio was as i've expected easy, I was quite damn confident that the lecturer wasn't smart enough to set hard questions. And Psycho required some sort of thinking, but i think i've fared well.
Just watched the The O.C., so sweet, Marisa and *spoiler censored*. Haha...

It's amazing how screwed up my body is. I was all prepared to sleep after hitting saturation last night. I was so freaking tired and yeah, I tot i could finally get some sleep. At 2.30am, I went to bed, 3.30am still awake, 4.30am still awake, the last time i checked my clock was somehting like 5am. And I don't think I actually fell into deep sleep. Was feeling super tired when I got up at 8.15am. My sleep cycle sucks man. And when I got home in the evening, I tot I could catch a nap. However, I lay there for 1 hour plus and didn't fall asleep! Wah lao, I'm super tired, someone knock me unconcious...

It's almost evening here in sunny and rainy (yes both together) McNair Road. The place is quiet, the kids are not playing in the playground and I am slacking away in front of the computer. A n P exam is on Wed, only read till chapter 6 of CNS, ie, I still have a darn load more to go. There's something in me that's holding back my maximum studying capacity.
Anyway, rain just stopped, the sun's up, I wanna go running. Hopefully running will burn away the "invisible" holding me back force. Haha... But I don't know if the road will be dry enough for running. We'll see... Myabe the sun could generate some Vit D in my skin, maybe that'll help...

Been a pretty tiring week. 2 papers down, all went well. One more major paper. And one more piece of shit paper and 1 breeze paper. A n P's coming up Wednesday, and i've not started anything as of now. Haiz, think i'll take my own sweet time with it, cos monday and tuesday no school i think. NO MORE LECUTRES! GOOD BYE year 1! hahaha. But actually, it's damn scarey to be 4 days from the paper that I've got the highest expectation for. It's still the "A" game for me right now, if i buang this paper, there goes's 30% and my A. Reall wanna do well for this exam. Or else bloody Kok Keng keep haolianing his results then I sian 1/2.
Went to SGH today, got quite a considerable amount of gamma radiation. Damn it, but the good thing is, I practiced my Radiation Bio knowledge, stand behind other people and far away. But then again, gamma radiation is too penetrating to cause much ionisation in the body, so i'm fine. Ha!
