Have you ever really loved a woman?

hmm...does the title sound familiar to you? Well, yes, it is the famous song by Bryan Adams. I was watching American Idol just a few minutes ago, and one of the singers was belting this song out..and it reminded me of how nice the tune was. So here I am, humming the tune for you! pls bear with me...I thought the song was kinda meaningful as well, after having looked at the lyrics more carefully...

To really love a woman
To understand her - you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought - see every dream
N' give her wings when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really - really really ever loved a woman?
- Bryan Adams

F**king annoying

sorry...I think I'm becoming more and more vulgar these days...I cant help it though, because everything seems so annoying these days. Anyway, back to the main storyline. I was speaking to a couple just awhile ago. The husband was the one being admitted, and his wife was just accompanying him. I began asking him a few questions about the reasons for his admission. He mentioned a few problems (which started since Feb '05), while my brain was trying to arrange his problems in chronological order. Then, his wife started to fill me in with another information. Then, the husband started to add on more info after that...and they sort of took turns telling me things. My brain was seriously going BONKERS! To make matters worse, I was sitting right in the middle, between the both of them. So use your imagination and think of the situation I was in. Sigh. Eventually, the husband became slightly mad at his wife, who just interrupted what he said a few times. Me, on the other hand, was really trying to piece up the puzzle...it was a complicated case.

oh well, i can only summarise the whole matter into 2 things:

1. I'm getting old, hence, brain is slow to catch and work simultaneously.

2. The couple was just f**king annoying.

Think I'll stick to the latter la...(in denial that i'm old...keke)

HAve a great weekend ppl!

Spring is officially here...

Yes, you're right...Spring is here for sure!! Why? because the sun is shinning so brightly everyday, and so many flowers are blooming. The most common flower seen in this period of time is the daffodil.

Daffodils, daffodils, aren't they so pretty?? They come in a few colours; white, yellow and pale yellow. I have never seen a daffodil till I came to UK.As I walk along the pathway near the hospital every morning, I become bewitched by the prettiness of the daffodils. Each and every stalk stands tall, trying to proof that it is the prettiest among all. The sun makes the view even prettier. I love the yellow ones as they just look so beautiful and yellow just sort of uplifts my spirit! haha...anyway, I thought I should share the pretty flowers with you all. So I have included a few pics here. =) enjoy!

It's A Bug's Place

It just occurred to me yesterday that the hospital is a "bug place". I am saying this because sick people come in and out of the hospital, carrying loads of bugs with them. You can't really see bugs, but they can certainly see you. They enter your body through your nose, mouth, a cut in your skin, etc...you are especially at risk if you immune system is low.

Yesterday, I was cold, shivering, and my body was aching all over. Having checked my own temperature, I discovered that I developed fever (37.8 deg C). I havent been sick for awhile now (touch wood), so with this onset of fever, I was really feeling uncomfy. But, I still had to force myself to carry on doing my work in the hospital. While doing that, I started to realise what was the cause of my illness. Most patients were basically coughing right at my face as I was speaking to them. I was breathing in all their secretions directly and unconsciously (if you get what I mean)!! It's no wonder I get sick so easily, furthermore, with the stress of having to complete my portfolio for the exams and writing a 12 pg essay on how I progressed based on the 12 curriculum of my medical school, my immune system is certainly plummeting.

Sigh! I'm much better now, having slept from 8.30pm till 6.30am the next day! hehe...very well rested indeed, but feeling extremely guilty now for not doing my work last night. Just cross my fingers that I won't get sick again. If anyone asks me about hospitals, the first thing I would say is, "It's a bug's place."

What the %^*#@ is wrong with these people?

Urgghhh....yes...that the hell is wrong with these people??

Today has been a rather annoying day because of 2 people.

Person no. 1: I was sleeping soundly in my cold bed when my flatmate came home after a night out at about 5am, slamming the entrance door shut. BAANNGGG!!!! I woke up...saw the clock...it was 4.30am...closed my eyes and went back to bed. Not too long after that, another loud BANG followed by loud footsteps. I opened my eyes again. wtf. I cursed abit and went back to sleep. Awhile later, I heard the sound of a door creaking open, and heard the loud blaring dance music in the background. wtf wtf wtf...it was about 5.15am at that time. URGGHH!!! what is wrong with her? I woke up so many times ....and mind you, this didnt end till 7am...and I didnt get enough quality sleep.

Person no. 2: I know today is a public holiday, Good Friday. I know we students are not required to go to the hospital...but hey, I was on call the day before, and it is important for me to go for the ward round today. Anyway, this particular doctor asked me, "so wat are u doing here? isnt a holiday?" I replied, "yeah, it is. but i just wanted to attend the post-oncall ward round." She replied, "Oh come on, this is a public holiday. Dun be stupid gal." My oh my, I was quite offended. Who are you to tell me I'm being stupid? wtf.

I have no idea what is wrong with these people. Why cant person no. 1 be more considerate by closing the door gently and turning on the radio softly?? I mean it was so early in the morning. I need my rest. As for person no. 2, excuse me, pls give me a break. If i choose to spend my public holiday like that, it is entirely up to me....pls mind your own business. And you have no right to call me stupid. urgghhh....

yyyaawwwnnn

Gosh. I've never been this bored in my life (ok..i know, its a bit exaggerated..but honestly, i was super bored). I'm currently attached to a certain team in the hospital..and boy, there is only ONE patient under the team's care.

so..basically, there is really NOTHING AT ALL for me to do in the hospital! Well, occasional blood taking and ward round..and thats it.

sigh..i'm so so so bored....arrghhh.....

well, i guess the free time is good in the sense that I get to leave earlier to go home...which is a plus point, since i'm travelling to the hospital everyday.

I really hope the week will get better! wish me luck!

Time flies...

One week has gone...in a breeze...

Life is so mean to us all. Once you start to enjoy yourself, time just moves so fast. But when you are busy with work, it just moves like a snail! how typical, eh?

Today is the last day of my one week easter break. I really did have loads of fun and really used the time up to the max. My friends and I visited a castle, went to St. Andrews and watched a movie. Have to admit that we sort of became a glutton for a week! hehe... tried a few new restaurants..and really ate alot... moreover, today, we are going to make our own Mexican lunch!!

We watched Ice Age 2 the other day. It was excellent! The whole show was so funny throughout. My friends and I were laughing so loud..I guess the other younger kids couldn't really catch the joke. =P

Apart from the holiday, I am proud to say, I did some work as well. I've finally managed to complete the HAI Cleanliness Champion book!! ahh..such a relief..coz it was really a pain in the neck...If you're from Uni of Dundee, you'll get what I mean. It was basically asking you to read about the many ways to prevent infection in the hospital setting, and create a few action plans to improve the way things are in the hospital....waste of time!! And it is compulsory to complete, otherwise, I think I wont be able to graduate!!

okok...I shall enjoy the last day of my holiday..after this, it will be hard work till after my exams!

Hope you guys will have a great week ahead! =)

St. Andrews

Yesterday, my friends and I decided to visit St. Andrews, well-known for its prestigious golf course. The weather was not sunny enough and the wind was very strong and chilly...but we survived the whole day without rain! yay!!

We visited a couple of places, like the Golf Course, museum, beach, the botanic garden...it was fun and enjoyable but tiring. We also enjoyed the famous ice cream shop there...it was fantastic. :) nothing much to type..so i'll just include a few pics here.

Happy Birthday Sze!

It was my housemate's birthday on Thursday. I left Glasgow that day for good as well, finished my block there, finally! And it marks the start of our one week Easter break.

Anyway, back to Sze's birthday, my friends and I had decided to give her a suprise birthday cake. So the guys bought a nice yummy Thornton's cake (pic 1). We crept quietly to her room and knocked on her door, and sang the birthday song. hehe..it was fun and Sze blushed!!

She also bought a cake to treat us all. The cake is so adorable. It was actually an Easter cake, called The Easter Chick cake (pic 2). The outer shell is made of icing sugar while the inside is a light vanilla sponge cake filled with raspberry jam in the middle. We gobbled down more than half of the cake. And someone decided to be mean to the chick(pic 3). =)
