After psych (yea I know, I didn't talk about addiction medicine much... really wasn't interested in that) - BTW, the long case exam, although nerve wrecking 'cos it's an observed interview with a real patient.. I actually met "my" patient in the waiting room while the consultant was having lunch hahaha. So kinda got the 'rapport' going even before the exam! Score!ok, so the next rotation up was

So after GP Land (which btw had no formal written exams - woohoo!) I went on to Paediatrics.This was admittedly a fun rotation, even though everyone was saying how difficult it is and that most people fail this rotation etc.Paediatrics: They are not mini-adults ... Oh I bet to differ!It was difficult for me mainly cos of 7am starts and the fact that the children's hospital was almost 2 hours away

Finished my electives in Neurosurgery @ RNSH and Emergency @ CGH (Singapore). Then went on to GP land for 8 weeks.In GP Land:Thankfully the clinical school helped me organise another urban placement - all the places I called while in Singapore never responded, was really stressing over it. Got placed with Karen Oswald in Hornsby - she's really cool, kinda hippy like in dress. But wow, looking at

It's SOOOO much better now! Hanging with the MO and Associate Consultants is more relaxing and really get to do more stuff rather than being scared shitless.Doing lots of venepuncture and "plug" setting.. heheh but still getting irritated when I hear "Tri - arge" .. it's pronounced "tree-arge" silly.. and OMG heard a airway "Gerdel" being called a "Girdle" today ack!Singaporeans..  lol

Spoke to the other consultant.. and she's more understanding. Heard from another MO that L is always like that and many have fallen by the way side.Hopefully now that it's on the table, things may get better. For now I'll just keep my distance

This week has been very trying and I wonder if i really want to come back to Singapore to work. I know this may have been one experience, but from all the stories I hear, it's very common!For the last week, voices were raised at me almost everyday, and it wasn't 'cos I couldn't hear 'em. Expectations were such that I needed to know how they work and terminology they use. Perhaps it's cos that

Was looking forward to being home in Singapore and also getting an elective done while there.The night before the flight, I received a called saying that the flight had been cancelled due to severe snowfall in London Heathrow airport, so the flight that was meant to fly into Sydney n then off to Singapore never made it. So was given the option of taking an earlier flight at 11am instead of 3pm or

Did my first elective in neurosurgery at RNSH. I wasn't too sure what to expect since it was entirely new as I didn't do neuro or neurosurg as an ICA, and honestly my neuro really sux. So got there at 7:30am for neuroICU ward rounds, only to find that the Regs didn't get there till around 7:45 or 8am sometimes. So just waited till they arrived. Then ward rounds up on ward 7B - neurosurg ward. Was

Ok you may have noticed that there aren't any posts for 2008.. they are currently in hiding and will be out soon. So figured while u wait, here's a gist of the things that have happened thus far1) ICAs .. all went really well, esp surgery, and critical care. Cardiology still has a special place in my heart (pun intended)2) Long case went well 3) Barrier.. not entirely well, but crossed that

Today officially started 3rd year, it's been long awaited for sure. Got back on the 19th and settled into the apt - thinking of perhaps having a housewarming cum birthday on the 3rd maybe??? Will have to talk to the others about it.Looks like there's gonna be alot of stuff to get done this year, looking forward to it and yet also dreading it alittle. Hmmmm.. I don't know how to feel exactly. Glad

Finally got home yesterday morning after a whirlwind adventure where I left Sydney for Perth at 6pm, a 5hr lay over, then Perth to Singapore.. Got back to Singapore at 7:15am with just enough time to have a super quick shower, get prepped and head down to the Church for Niah's wedding. Really upset though that I didn't get a chance to help out with Preparations before the day, but circumstances

This entry is long overdue.. sorry but just haven't felt like writting very much. OSCEs went well, big boo-boo in the faculty by someone leaking the 2nd day's stations, and worse than that for them to blame innocent parties! So typical. In a nutshell, alot has happened over the last 2 months which have shredded my confidence in particular persons and strengthened others. If u know abt it then u

Barriers have finally come and gone as of 2:36pm today!! Woohoo!! I'm free from all the physiological and psychological stress, at least until Nov 2nd when the results will be released.Came from after the exam yesterday totally pooped out, but surprisingly I'm wide awake (for now). Over the past week have been holed up in the apt trying to do as much last minute cramming of info as possible *hope

I've been in study mode this past week, and haven't been out of the apt unless totally necessary ie lecture, clinicals ..My group finished out our tutorials (PBLs) last friday so haven't really had to go to Uni either. And haven't even been out to the kitchen - made all my meals in the microwave (thank goodness for technology!) Did labs on tuesday between clinicals so today was a full day of

Took a small road trip today with Ev and Helen. We had a picnic at the Parramatta Park in Westmead. It's this HUGE park nestled just opposite Westmead hospital, and to top it off, it was a gorgeous day! Sun was shining, a nice change from the cloudy previous couple of days.. a generally beautiful Spring day :) The sun actually rose at 6:30am (yea, I was up at 6:30.. don't ask why lol)The drive

Was alittle adventurous the other day and saw a mix for chin chow at the Thai Kee IGA in Chinatown. Did you know that it's called Janggellan (presumably in English) hahaha.Didn't think to take a pic when I poured the powder out, so opps, but it looks like grey ash. Was interesting... So dissolved and cooked it like making agar-agar which it basically was, but the smell was also curious .. don't

Started a count down to barriers, and currently I'm sitting on about 5 weeks before the big day.Not too stressed YET, but then again usually I'm more stressed than I realise and there are other signs of that stress...Alot of the roads in downtown Sydney have been closed off for the upcoming APEC summit which is taking place at the Opera house this saturday. Good thing for us is that we have

This was my first UniMed event. On Wed, I got my uniform (yes we have a uniform!) and figured I'd volunteer for Live Green since it was happening in Victoria Park which is across the street from where I live.. made sense :)Ok, so everyone thought that it was Live (like a-live) Green 'cos of the previous Live8 and Live earth concerts.. But it was Live (like living) Green - an environmental event

I've finally found something to volunteer with, and it has almost everything I enjoy too! Uniforms, Medicine and volunteering! :)I found out about UniMed (Similar to St John's Ambulance but way cooler!) from my clinical tute group mate Robin, and finally got in touch with the person and started training Tuesday (14th Aug). Tuesday was a tiring day from 9am till 4:30pm at the hospital, and then

Just got back from a dinner hosted by the National Healthcare Group (NHG), another managment co? under the ministry of health in Singapore. They are trying to attract doctors back to Singapore. Was nice meeting them and hearing what they had to say. At least it cleared up some of my prior misconceptions and insight into the new policies etc.So far this is what's going on.. think this is right..

Despite a long day @ hospital tuesday, went over to RPA for the first day of my medic's course as part of volunteering with UniMed (www.unimed.com.au) Was nice to meet some other ppl not in med or usyd.. but wow, won't u know it, everything that was presented was on the powerpoint given to us on the disc.

Argh! Wrong bus again!!! Think maybe the sleep deprivation is getting to me? Today for some strange reason, figured that any bus going to Lane Cove went past the Mater. Of course that's not right, since the bus schedule says that only 252 and 254 go past.Ended up in longeville or something like that.. and not a taxi in sight @ 8:40am - tutorial starts at 9am. sucky sucky morning.

Ev, Liv & myself tried to go ten-pin bowling today. Hard to find a AMF bowling centre since when u say bowling here, it's usually lawn bowling (*wonder why*). Found a place at the Entertainment quarter in Moore Park. Drove down, had to go round 'cos missed the turn to the car park - hahaha... but managed to get there, even got a good spot. Games were $14 each or 2 games for $24. Really nice lanes

Had dinner on wed night with the TKD club. Haven't been to training since ECC.. which means roughly a month. Starting to feel out of shape hahaha. So met them after study group, all 20 of 'em. Most I knew.. though there were some new faces. At least we're all bound by a common interest - TKD! Must be the concept of sweating together lol.

Just a general update..Ev started her Camden semester last week - and boy I'd forgotten how lonely living by yourself can get! I mean all good and well, but not having any human interaction once I come back to the apt.. sheesh. At least she'll be back to visit every now and then hahaha - some how I don't think she likes it out @ camden very much.Nothing much has been happening really. Getting

Today our clinical day got cancelled due to admin mix-up, so went to uni for lab. Basically free day!Ok so on to my peeve...A couple of weeks ago I went down to the Roads & Traffic Authority (RTA) to get a driver's licence, 'cos it'll just save on the hassel of bringing my passport, proof of address, secondary ID etc whenever I wanted to do a bank transaction etc. So got in line, and filled out

Firstly HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUMMY!!!! Glad you got your card today.. excellent timing postman! (for once)Today also was RFA3.. Wasn't too bad an exam, although the answer scheme was very narrow while the questions were very very vague. Are they trying to trick us?! And the CDT paper was a joke - complete waste of time honestly. Maybe they need a class on how to write good exam questions! Anyways,

Yesterday had the weigh-ins for the ECC. Not many girls in general and only 1 other in my belt &/or weight class... so straight into finals. It was a good day with very exciting fights, especially Jason's final fight (only took him 43sec to win the bout!) think that's a new club record! hahaha.. and then the exhibition fight - good match dude - they got lots of pics of you. Generally the club did

Nothing much has been happening since the last post... Just the usual uni schedule, Clinical tuesdays, Study group on wednesdays and saturdays, plus TKD training on fridays for the upcoming East Coast Challenge (aka Eastern Uni Games). Did get a new foot protector today though, hoping it'll help reduce the injury rate on my poor foot. Already got a nice bruise on it from slipping, then made worse

Been raining almost continuously since thursday. Honestly don't mind the rain, but it's the wind chill and gust that gets me. Esp so on friday 'cos it destroyed my foldable umbrella... blew it the other way round and tore off 2 sides also. The large umbrella I used later in the evening when I went for TKD held up better but still was threatening to get blow close! Worst part about all this rain (

Will miss doing this when/IF i eventually stop. Right now training towards the Eastern Uni Games (EUG) which will be held @ UNSW on the 2nd of July (9am-5pm).

On friday, the "gang" celebrated Cassie's birthday with dinner at Pancakes on the Rocks. This place supposedly has the best pancakes this side of the Pacific and was even featured in some TV travel show! It's open 24hrs, 7days a week but always super super crowded!!

Today had my first OSCE experience. 2nd for most of my classmates so I thought they would be alittle calmer since they knew sorta what to expect... but since I missed the first one in Yr1 due to illness, I was nervous to the core. Found out that ALOT of ppl were stressed... so nervousness was gone until about 30mins before the start of the exam.The format of the OSCE is that you have 1min to read

Tuesday & Thursday worked with a anaesthetic registrar from England - Dr Helen Ward. Very nice and wanted me to learn as much as possible... so whatever down time we had, she gave me a mini lecture on some aspect of med - good revision and yet, so much I don't know since it's not really covered.Ops on tuesday were very quick...nephrology. Was mainly insertion of suprapubic catheter, and some

Morning hiccup!! Wah, I really need to read the option form better, and other forms in the future. Didn't realise that I had to get the signature of the supervisior and get approval of the option from the option committee.. argh!! So Prof MacPherson didn't know I was doing the option this week even though we've been corresponding via email (so weird) So this morning was a mad rush to call the Med

Today met up with Dimples (my cousin, and that's her nickname) and her husband.. Always nice to be with family thought alittle stressful for different reasons- never met Mark before... nice guy.They have a nice house in Annandale, which is about a 10min drive from Uni - close by, and yet not 'cos u'd have to walk up a steep hill which doesn't really seem all that bad until u do it i guess hahaha.

Quick recap of the week..24th - Celebrated Pam & Di An's bdays (i think that's how u spell her name). Oh so long ago was my 21st bday... and a long away from home then too. Looks like that's how it'll be for a while to come.27th - SCORPIO @ RNSH. (don't you just love the acronyms! Med is full of 'em). Saw a bunch of patients with different neurological problems. Running the gamut of cerebellar

Went to see Ev get an award for an essay she wrote in her animal welfare class.. so cool. 10 students got a similar award out of the entire cohort of 120 students. Some of her classmates are real high achievers, winning stuff left, right and centre. Nonetheless, still proud of Ev. Way to go girl!

The USyd Med Program (and other programs) is based on the system @ Harvard Med. So we have a component called PBL or Problem Based Learning. This forms the case of the week and the basis of all the lectures. The video below is a simulation of that process, and honestly does seems like what happens sometimes... just glad my group isn't THAT bad hahahaha

Went back to TKD training after a long absence.. Gotta say it felt great! Alot of ppl there though - would prefer it be a smaller class. Oh well.But ouch.. a day after training and i'm sore! hahahaha.. serves me right I know. But oh it's a good sore plus I'm exercising :) Apart from the daily walking to and from school - this gives me something else to look forward to outside of school! And the

Went for the Annual Vet Beer, Pies and Bull function with Evelyn today. Was interesting to see if Vet students were any different from Med students hahaha. There's always a comparison.Apart from the fact that most vet students are way younger than med students (since it's their first degrees) they do seem alittle more childish.. and in secure (the first years anyways)but OMG, i really can't get

Went over to Cheryl's place for her birthday celebration last night. Missed the dinner @ the African resturant but seems that it wasn't much to rave home about. Oh well.Was good to see ppl from school outside of classes... Do we really act differently in different circumstances? Guess so, but so far don't think it really shows that muchMarch is gonna be a month full of celebrations it seems..

A week has gone by and OMG, feel so overwhealmed! Neurology is just going over my head.. trying very hard to buckle down and study. Kinda distracted though but other things. At least I don't have to tutor those 2 boys anymore, although felt alittle bad since I liked tutoring them.. But honestly, I'm here to study not teach.Later tonight, going over to Helen & Cheryl's place for dinner, Helen's

Well got into Sydney yesterday morning, but only got out of the airport in the afternoon. WOW! was a bit of a challenge getting through immigration. Seems that my gut feeling about bringing my old passport with me was right! Didn't realise it but my eVisa has all the details of my old passport and I was supposed to update those details when I got the new one! Sheesh. And the immigration officer

A little get together earlier today (well guess it's yesterday by now) @ my place to meet everyone and celebrate my birthday .. really just an excuse to make merry and eat! Was cool 'cos everyone had a common area and no one felt too left out from the looks of things - but then again..Will post pictures later .. wow. almost 27!

It's a heck alot of fun, but dang kinda need to be in abit of shape to keep @ it for more than 15mins lol.You strap yourself onto a board and hang on to a tow rope, then away you go behind a speed boat..

Past 2 weeks have been filled with reunions of friends and even meeting some of their new partners and kids!!Started of with meeting Gerald for lunch on the 17th. Same 'ole Gerald, but with a twist - he's off to Perth on Saturday for pilot training and wow! He got engaged! Congrats!! After lunch, finally got to meet his fiancee, Angela.

One week of relief teaching - looking forward to the weekend!! Finding it alittle boring teaching this time really, I think 'cos I was teaching chemistry but was told not to bring the kids to the lab - so was all talk talk talk.. dang! Don't they know the fun part of Chem is looking/doing experiments?? Esp if you want to get the kids hooked on it?!/ GGgrrrr Oh well.. Also had a chance to meet up

Christmas came and went..so quickly! Met up with the gang @ Cherm's place - I'm always grateful for the opportunity to meet up with old friends and re-new ties. Sometimes I do feel so left behind since i've been away for so long and everyone's been "journeying" together here in S'pore. But thankfully they are good friends and have always included me!

On the 13th of Dec, I headed North to Brisbane for Anthony's graduation. He had booked a car which could fit all 6 of us, and it turned out to be a diesel powered van/suv/truck rolled into 1. Definately interesting but alittle hard to park since it required a 2.4m clearance and most covered carparks have a limit of 2.2m! Oh well. Stayed @ his dorm which was a mini apartment.. spectacular view '

Evelyn left for the beef cattle farm early this morning. It's was a beautiful day, and no one to share it with. Geez :[ Took Buster on a long walk in the early morning, watched the ducks swimming and the moorehens and their new nestlings.. just adorable. Unfortunately haven't seen any new ducklings since after that freeze we had, seems like they didn't make it.Tonight Buster was being real

RFA2 is done and over with! Woohoo!Was getting stressed over it, like all exams I've ever taken. Yes, was still stressed despite the fact that RFAs are not assessed - it's just formative. But still, it's still an 'exam'Spotted 2 questions which were not in the past RFA2 papers, so was quite happy with myself. And even finished before the alloted time - so guess i'm doing alright in this course.

Hang on a sec.. before the weird looks/thoughts.. Harvey is a cardiac simulator mannequin.He's real fantastic 'cos although he's plastic, he has a palpable carotid pulse, moving abdomen, breath sounds and heart sounds both of which change according to the cardiac condition.

This was a real cool outing, and special surprise for Ev's birthday (even though she kinda sorta knew already... guess i'm alittle predictable :] )The Dixie Chicks (Emily Erwin, Martie Erwin and the main voice Laura Lynch) caught alot of flak when they said that they were ashamed that President Bush is from Texas, while on tour in London.

So what have I been up to? Besides school - not a whole lot really.Honestly it's come and gone in a bit of a blur especially with RFA2 (required formative assessment) on the way. Guess the big things past couple of months (apart from school) would be1) celebrated Ev's 26th Bday & going to see the Dixie Chicks in concert!!2) went to Manly3) went to "Chalk the walk 2006" at pyrmont bridgewill add

Talk about fresh food! What probably happened is, the water the lettuce was washed in contained polliwogs and these became fresh new frogs, right in the packages. Don't forget this brand of fresh lettuce, folks. It's the extra care that Mexican companies take that makes the difference. :]And this doesn't only happen 'cos of "low Mexican standards" ...

Can't believe it, got stood up by the irresponsible 30+yr old again! What the heck is going on?! Am I stupid or something? kena 3 times and still keeping him as a student? No more siah!2 weeks ago, i waited 30 mins, then found out that he and his gf went on holiday.. guess where.. to Singapore! Then the next week came back and had the nerve to tell me how nice S'pore is and asked where I stayed.

This week we started our haematoogy block which means that we're at our various hospitals (RNSH for me) everyday for lectures, tutes and labs.So far it's been interesting, and although it a bit of a chore to wake up and leave earlier than usual, plus be dressed in "professional attire" everyday.. it's a nice change from Uni.Tonight we're going to see the Med Revue, and apparently we should

Whenever it rained, the windows leaked and the walls "cried"... and boy does it rain alot during Australian winters. And there was seemingly a problem with the insulation, 'cos it was always freezing in the house. Needless to say there was mold everywhere.. and the last

Well the entire month of July came and went... and without a word from me - Sorry.Now I have a bit of a breather and blogging strength, so here goes.Coff's HarbourThe entire week we spent up in Coff's Harbour was fantastic!The tournament went well, and our 10 fighters did well, winning almost every fight. My bout was with a blackbelt from UNSW. She's apparently in the Malaysian National Team. I

Well today marks the end of Block II - Drugs & Alcohol/Musculoskeletal. The next one is Block III - Respiratory, and it'll commence on the 10th of July, and 18 days later, we have our first exam.. Required Formative Assessment (RFA) which really don't count towards anything really. But will be nice to have some sort of marker as to how much I actually know and can recall.On Monday, my group had

Just that much longer till the next of this block!! Can't believe how quickly time is whizzing by.. Most of the Uni is prepping for exams which are in 3 weeks, while we in the med and dent progs aren't as stressed yet. Still have another 1.5 mths till our 'mock' exams. I'm really looking forward to 'em as then I'll have a somewhat concrete indicator as to where I stand WRT all this information

Well the weekend came and went as always.. they are so short now, especially with a 2 hr sparring class for TKD on sundays. And OMG, what's with their concept of "Light" sparring?? Came back with a couple of bruises (which really look worse than they really are) Aiyah, I asked for it. Like Mum always says, you make your bed.. you jolly well lay in it.But it was a great day really, got quite a lot

Mondays: Start on musculoskeletal block, so we're getting tutorials from RNSH Orthopedic team. really makes a difference. Otherwise, it's all the same thing. Getting alittle better when it comes to history taking, but basically same 'ole, same 'ole.Wednesdays: Since we're on this new block, we've started Anatomy Lab on the 17th. It's way cool! Expected the smell to be worse, but it's too bad. And

The past week was another memory blur.. moments that stuck out were probably Saturday's outing with Ev to meet with Kat and her friends. Managed to contact Andre in time and she came along with Merleen. Was an interesting night of flying hands and unsure signs hahaha. Plus learning new signs :) Being shown ASL signs by an Auslan user! What was cool was that even thru' the language differences,

Well it's finally the end of the Foundation block. We've gone through the gamut of diagnoses from cardiology to TB. Now we get into the 'meat' of things, starting off with Drugs, Alcohol and the Musculoskeletal system.So far so good.. kinda looking forward to the required formative assessments (RFAs) we have coming in July. Will be good to know how much of everything I actually know. Hard when

Life and Death are so intertwined.. and each event touches our hearts in such different ways.Right now I sit here somewhat heart-broken over someone I met only 3 times, but have known since I was 17 (almost a decade). She was one of my first internet friends and really the first one I met face to face, but not the first one I lost. I feel the need to write this down not only as an outlet, but

Finally the day came and went.. We had our housewarming party!Ev & I called it the "Sing-Tex Experiment" and as it's name suggests, we had a blend of Singaporean and Texan food.Chicken-Fried Steak (it's beef, not chicken)Green Bean casseroleSouthern Biscuits & GravySatay chickenBee HoonApple Pie & Ice-creamWas a feast! The food was great and everyone impressed (of course), and what made it even

Antons & I had a blast this week. He came into Sydney on sunday, and we went to the Royal Easter Show, went round the tourist district, ie Sydney Opera House, The Rocks & Paddy's Market. Bought and ate ALOT of food. We both agreed that if we lived together, we'd probably go home chubbier than we already are hahaha.

Good Friday service was an interesting experience. There was veneration of the Cross, but so many ppl were there, we decided to leave the kissing to the crowd. We did have fun grocery shopping at the Chinatown IGA. Loads of Asian foodstuff there, and although there were ALOT of ppl, it added to the atmosphere. (Could have done with less ppl though) We're getting some stuff ready for when Anthony

Term break is here... which means it's HOLY WEEK!!So quickly time flies. On friday, couple of us went to Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) hospital for Grand Rounds. Was neat, they presented Obesity-associated Respiratory Distress syndrome (Pickwickkin Syndrome) and "Very high altitude sickness". Found out that @ grand rounds, usually very significant cases are discussed, usually by residents.Livia

This week marks the end of Term 1!! We come back after the 2 week break to the tail end of Foundation block and start on Alcohol, Drugs & Muscular-Skeletal Block. So exciting!Last wed, went for TKD and had a real good work out, but unfortunately had a tiny incident. Didn't realise it but pulled the thigh muscle in both legs (very champion.. i know!) Even walking was a difficult, let alone doing

Hi readers, it's been 2 weeks since my last blogging. These are my thoughts (ok ok.. i know it sounds a tad corny - sounds lot like "you know what" - if u don't... ask me) but seriously. Last 2 weeks have gone by in a semi-blur of days. A brief run thru' >> saw a couple of colonoscopies, and endoscopies, after which I went on rounds with the consultant. What was really cool was the fact that I

Went for Mardi Gras on the 4th of March. Got there at 4:45pm and stood at a spot till the parade started at 6:30pm. Yea sounds crazy but that was the only way to get a good view of anything. Definately not an event for anyone with agrophobia! Some ppl really didn't have any regard for one's personal space at all. Even to an extent of having a Jap girl lean on me and use me as a 'level' for her

An update from my last post...Since then I've furnished my room (though still very convent-cell looking) ie comprises of a bed, desk, wardrobe and bookcase. But it's enough for my purposes. Finished orientation week (Mon 13th feb to Wed 15th feb) and started actual lectures and tutorials on thurs (16th feb) which is pretty cool 'cos feeling more settled now. Cool stuff on Wed 15th feb was that we

Hello hello my blog readers!Yes I'm back and blogging from Sydney.Got in yesterday (8th feb) at 10 in the morning (+3 Hours time diff. from SGP) and made my way to the house. Nice place.. alittle small but makes it cozy :) it's an older house so the floors creak and occassionally you can hear the neighbours due to the close proximity. Feels safe, esp due to the fact that there's an office

Today went for TKD after Mass in the morning... had a brain fart and thought it was at 1:30pm, so got there at 1:25pm, but alas, it started at 1pm. But in a way good 'cos I wasn't too keen on the myraid of jumps and 'stunts' we usually have to do for the first 1/2 hour anyhow :)Met some new trainees there and as usual Veron and I were the only 2 gals training (apart from the new kid, but she's
