You're leaving now? See you tomorrow

You've known me all my life. You played with me when I was young. You watched me grow up. You drive me around. You've seen the real me. You ask me about school, about my exams, my grades and these things matter to you. You urge me to be good, to study hard. You taught me right from wrong. You've lectured me. You make sure I have all that I need. You made up nicknames to call me. You fix things around the house. You put up with mom's ranting. You tease me about my painted nails. You looked after grandma when we were overseas. You keep my secrets. You listen, you don't judge when I talk to you. You supported me in a big way when I chose to study medicine. You care for us. You've celebrated every holiday with us. You love me like I'm your own.

Sometimes I wish you were my dad.

Still I'd find You there

My bathroom light blew so I hadta bathe in the dark just now.

Listening to this guy play his guitar and singing now, not bad I say.

Murderer

I just saw a fat lizard with beady black eyes in my kitchen. My stupid lizard traps don't work. What should I do? They make me paranoid, my heart jumps at the slightest noise. Why don't they like the lizard bait?? I think there are 2 of these nasty creatures in my house. One of them likes to swing on hanging plastic bags (thus I no longer eat breakfast) and the other lives by the dustbin.

I've done research on house lizards and apparently lizards are harmless and even beneficial cuz they eat bugs. But I hate the one that hangs on plastic bags. Wanted to pour hot water on the one by the dustbin the other night (Jen's advice).... went to my family for support on my decision, and they stared at me in horror and told me how much it would hurt and looked at me like I was a murderer. So, needless to say I didn't commit the murder.

Have been reading forums about them. They haunt me in my sleep.

On a much happier note, went church with Van and Tin today. Love em to bits!! (:

A Typical Day in the Life of a Student with Bad Time Management

There are only 24 hours in a day. Say school ends at 1. By the time I reach home it is 2. If I do some grocery shopping or other retail therapy at Vivo or get otherwise distracted on my way home, I may reach home at 3. When I've bathed and eaten lunch it's 4 (the typical day). Checking my email and being online for awhile and it's 5!! Time for tea. End of tea: 6pm. Then I go for a run. After my run (and maybe walking my dog after) and showering it's 8. Dinner till 9. Then finally finally, looking through lecture notes!

Where did all my time go? ): How can I keep my one and only New Year's Resolution if I start studying at 9?? I am terrible with time management. Haha

Macini

Today was my first time using a stethoscope on a real patient. My past experience consists of using Dr Kang and Loh's on my own chest and abdomen, and the patient simulator Harvey. And in the very pleasant elderly man, i heard Rhonchi!!

The cute old lady who talked a lot was really cute. And there was an interesting Malay man. All neuro patients.

Though it takes a lot of effort to be consistent in reading up, I'm so glad I'm studying this (: Esp when Oli's telling me about his 3 year old liver transplant girl born without a bile duct and his cerebral palsy guy.
