half way there
this is it. i am at Changi Airport, waiting for my connecting flight Penang. Yesterday was the last day of Semester 6. MY last day of Sem 6 anyway, i finished my last patient's file at 5 pm, happily headed home - for once after many many months when the sky was still bright and my sunnies were given a chance to serve its purpose; and me - all ready to have my break - "a well deserved break"
and i have been saying this a lot. and i am going to say it again. because i have been saying this to the same few people. and i haven't got a chance to tell other people about this. (see it is always my intention to confuse people)

I AM HALF WAY THROUGH MED SCHOOL
WE ARE HALF WAY THROUGH MED SCHOOL
i don't know about you, but i find this a bit bit unbelievable. half way there!!! i am pretty excited. but of course i find this a little daunting as well. i can't wait to graduate from med school and again, i don't mind keep on studying. my point is - this is an AWESOME feeling.
the past few months have been a blast. i mean it. as much as i rant about how exciting, exhuasting, interesting, tiring, fulfilling, rewarding AMS is (well i don't rant a lot, do i?) - i had a great time. setting up my own database, doing things my own way, attending clinics and observing some really interesting cases - both academically and emotionally; attending theatre and scrubbing in - endoscopic transphenoidal hypophysectomy, 3rd ventriculostomy, microdisectomy, anterior cervical decompression and fusion, excision of a HUGE meningioma, maxillary bone reconstruction; attending seminars on a whole range of endocrine related issues; doing our own oral presentation; writing manuscripts and letters for journals; calling up a chinese speaking patient and then realized that i didn't know what MRI is in Mandarin. this was a totally different and yet very enriching experience i have to say. and i am thankful for all the nice people that i have met along the way. and of course my two awesome-est supervisors :) !
okay, serious matter aside. as much as i LOVE ams, one thing i can't stand is that there is NO mirror within the 100m locus where i work. there is ONE in the toilet down the corridor but i didn't know it is there until a month ago. and come on, everyone (everyone except neurosurgeons), needs mirror. we need to know what we look like after spending 3 hrs staring at the very artistic handwriting in the medical files (which is very often accompanied by a fair amount of hair pulling and head scrathing and swearing), you don't want to scare people away do you? well i don't. My point is, there is no accessible mirror at my workplace, and i really really need mirror, and being the very resourceful person that I am, i use the built in webcam on my laptop. and yes, u know what happened next.

DON'T JUDGE ME!
working long hours does this to you. you just have to believe me.
yes you have to!
and knowing me, you know my post is not a post if there is no baking :) i made lemon curd filled lemon cupcakes on Thursday. simply because i had 1 kg of lemon and a dozens of eggs. and i felt like baking.
and because i never need a reason to bake
and i want to bake
and then i realize that's a reason why i am not doing law :P
anyway, aren't they LOVELY? cupcakes are the best gift! really!
know you are going to ask ~~~ RECIPE
and before you proceed and start saying what a loser i am and i don have a life yada yada yada. i went to the beach :P
Dexter aka Jacq' s little brother;
Xin-Yi aka Qi Lun's elder sister;
Me aka Pehy Shan's younger sister;
Jacq aka Dexter's elder sister
(are you confused already?)
the weather was splendid. we strolled along the beach, peep at shirtless hot guys (i mean I); had a bit of chit chat; did a bit of "ART"work *cough* Jacq *cough* and had FISH AND CHIPS!!!!
and people, this is what younger brother is for :)
*
there happen to be a LAURENT in South Melbourne
oh and how i LOVE this place.
*

you know, just a thought.
and just to clarify, i am still very much in love with medicine. and the brain.
*
