Psychiatric Medicine
Just 2 days into Psych Med, and I feel the whole psych family is so wholesome and nice. It's as if all the nicest people in the world are found in this department. From consultants, to the MOs, even the secretary are really nice people! Considering my bad experience with a secretary at one of the smaller hospitals, this was a pleasant surprise!
On the first day, the secretary at NUH set the cheerful tone by giving us free kit kat and dove amicelli (yumyum!) cos we helped her fill up the AVIAN flu contact list. Wow!!! And she is always so smiley and friendly! The technician at NUH also always sits in, and laughs at the profs' funny jokes during lecture together with all of us! He must be the happiest technician I've seen!!! :)
The psych profs at NUH and SGH are all so friendly. It is the first time that I dun feel pressurised and small in front of doctors. They treat you as equals and are ready to joke with you at any time! They don't treat us as lowly medical students! It makes me feel more at ease so I'm more willing to ask questions and am less afraid to make mistakes when answering questions. That should be the way doctor-student relationship should be...
Today, we had a talk by a pharmaceutical company and free packet breakfast! I sitting in an awkward postion cos it was cramped with an extra seat beside me. The secretary, after serving us food, moved the vacant chair away and said, 'Make yourself comfortable and eat more!'
She then turned to sirui, 'You don't like coffee or tea? How about juice or water?' Amazing!!! The secretary was really so nice that I felt a little uneasy. We tried to offer the profs seats at the table, but they refused and sat at the back instead! Argh... these people are amazingly nice!!!
I've lost count of how many times I said nice, but they really are NICE!!!! Super nice!
I love psych so far! Interesting cases and thought provokking theories! :)

i think i may be allergic to alcohol now. either that or my stomach has refused to accept this poison.
i drank 1 small bottle of heineken cos everyone in my family (except my sis) had beer for dinner last night, and it would be impolite not to drink right? heehee..

firstly, i had nausea and malaise. the nausea lasted all the way til lunch.
after lunch, i had rumbling stomach. it just kept churning n mixing n swishing! i tot something was living in my tummy!
i decided to go to the toilet and tot i had gotten rid of the swishy thingy. but it just kept irritating me all day! sickening...
hai.. no more alcohol for me!!!
hey din i have 2 glasses of wine the day before and nothing happened?
ok no more beer for me then! :)

I hate poker!
sucks.. esp when i think i have good cards, n confidently place my bets, only to lose by a slight margin in the end!
super unlucky!
so i after i lose big, i get bullied cos ppl will use their earnings to bet alot to scare me into folding even though they have no good cards! they also keep show handing me just to see me bankrupt!
those who win big cos they are lucky, are really sickening, cos they will hoard the cash, and keep folding when they're not blinds.
sucks sucks sucks! hate the sweaty palms and palpitation feeling when playing too! if it's anxiety followed by winning, then of course will feel shiok. but when u're anxious, then lose big money, u're feel doubly shitty!
argh, keep losing money this chinese new year! think i'll stick to watching others play..

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
and there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
There's just no rhyme or reason
only this sense of completion
and in your eyes
I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for
I think I found my way home
I know that it might sound more than
a little crazy but I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

Adventures at Chinatown
Yesterday was the day when Backpacker Darren, Red Indian weng and Lok Kok Dehan decided to make trip to lovely chinatown to take in the festive mood of Chinese New Year!
It was the first time Backpacker Darren visited the famous food street of chinatown. He was eager to try everything! But alas, a tight budget restricted him to try only the char kway teow, which he later exclaimed to be disappointing.
On leaving food street, Backpacker Darren found himself in cookies heaven! The thought of an entire year's supply of cake bangkit caused him to drool so much, that all of Lok Kok Dehan's 3-ply tissue paper was used to clean up all the slobber. Sigh.. But a moment on the lips, a lifetime to the hips. A glance at his expanding girth immediately threw that thought out of the window. Red Indian Weng was just happy posing with 1 box of cookies.
Red Indian Weng learnt how roasted chestnuts are roasted with coffee to give the wonderful aroma, and how chestnuts actually look like mini spiky sea urchins before they are processed!
She was equally excited about the ang moh who is dressed like a ching chong china man, and sells sausages to the long queues of people who come to gawk at his fascinating outfit! Try to look for him when you're in Chinatown!
Lok kok Dehan then found the Fortune of God and held him tight, cos when fortune comes knocking on your door, you must not let it slip by you.
Red Indian Weng was more amazed by the big head doll and how alarmingly identical it looks like her!
Since it was the Year of the Pig, we had to end off the adventure with a few poses with cute pigs.
It was a fun evening for Backpacker Darren, Red Indian Weng and Lok kok Dehan!
Happy New Year Everyone! :)

Lessons learnt
1. NEVER take friends for granted. Be nice to them even when you are not asking for favours.
2. NEVER assume that since you're fine with the things others do unto you, you can do the same unto others.
3. RESPECT others' privacy.
4. Have your fun, but do NOT go overboard.
5. Always be SENSITIVE to the feelings of others.
6. Sensitive topics should be AVOIDED.
7. EXPRESS your displeasure gently should your friends go overboard. Never keep it to yourself or they will never know your boundary.
8. TREASURE your friendships. Never do things that will jeopadise an otherwise wonderful friendship.
9. It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation and only one bad deed to lose it. THINK thrice before doing anything stupid.
10. TRUST is mutual. Keep secrets entrusted to you as close to your heart as you would your own.
i'm sorry :(

It's a amazing how one can be happy with friends and having lots of fun,
but when alone with lots of time to be pensive, the mood changes and there is this empty, sunken feeling right at the bottom of your gut.
Do you feel that way?
I do, sometimes.
And all thoughts will come rushing into your head, with so many questions you can't answer.
I don't answer them. I just avoid them.
Which is why I try not to be alone these days.
Heads up!

I had a beautiful dream last night.
It felt so real that i refused to get out of bed when i woke up.
I lay in bed so that i could wander off to dreamland to continue the dream. :)
This enjoyable sequence happened a few times before the howling wind disrupted it!
I had to finally get up cos the freezing wind was so unbearable even tho i wore my snuggly jacket and hid under the blanket.
HOrrid Wind!
Shall close the windows tonight. :)

Thought about the cambodia trip.. realised that i can learn alot from it.
Besides the horrible experience of being really sick, I learnt that there was another side to ME!
I've always been quiet and stone, very willing to lay back and listen to others talk.
Somehow or another, either cos there was the holiday mood with absolutely no stress of school work plaguing me or just it was just being in a foreign land away from home, that brought out the fun and relaxed me!
I could just let my hair down and be crazy..
thinking back, I had so much fun being crazy!
Somehow, i can't do that now.
I'm stuck in this constant monotony. I'm too lazy to even get out of it.
I'm so comfortable not saying anything at all..
Maybe I need to get out of Singapore.
I should get out and go to a place where ppl talk so much that i learn to be like them.
Amazing how others can be friendly to strangers and just chat with them like old friends.
It's almost they can't live without talking.. but that makes them interesting ppl
I want that too!
I need a new environment!!!
I need a stimulus!!!
I need fun and craziness in my life!
So where do I start?

So much has happened recently. So much that I want to run away.
I made the decision to see the world. But the world does not want me to.
I'm running, running, sprinting but the ground slides back at the same speed.
I'm back at the same spot.
My surroundings are a complete standstill. Yet everything is a blur.
When will the colours be sharp?
When will the lines be distinct?
When will the sounds come alive?
When will the air move freely?
When will I feel again?
Stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it..

Surprise!!!
At 2am, I went to check my mailbox after receiving a clue from a mysterious person. So sneaky! Lo and behold, I found a brown paper bag addressed to Mr Pot of Grump. And in it contained chewy GOODIES...
Yoohoo! Totally made my day! :):):)
You see,I was grumpy for a while earlier in the day. The mysterious angel knew and came from far far away land to drop them in my mailbox! Now I get to chew yummy gummies all day, so I'll be too busy to frown like yesterday! hmmm... I should be grumpy more often to get more goodies! :)
Thanks ANGEL!
Selamat Hari Raya!
Look at my goodies from the brown bag!
Yupi skelegummy!
Used to eat these sweets! whistling candies! polo sweets should be like that too... :)
2 yummy rolls of Haribo Mega-roulettes to chew my day away...
