They say housemanship is all about learning the skills and working experience which we had never experienced in Medic School.I totally agree on that point,only if you allow me to add this;housemanship is also all about learning how to painfully digest the mistakes of others when they are hurled at you,housemanship is how to make your adipose layer thick(hoping that nothing said will affect you,which is absolutely false unless you're one heartless person!)by persistently approaching your sarcastic superior for consultation,housemanship is learning to not to wash off your hands in the mid way thinking someone else (as promised) will take care of it,housemanship is all about being all in one in a day's work(that includes in doing every other people's jobs including yours).
Working in different departments made my eyes open to few things.In my previous posting where only 1 lady is a MO,the working environment was more fun as it wasn't emotionally inclined.Specialists ( with exception of a few) do not scold you.It was more of an 'stern tone'..which I won't describe as getting all blown up.Definitely,girls have the most advantage when the environment is conquered by the Adams.I'm sure you don't need an explanation why but at the same time,it feels awkward to get caught in between all of them when you're working as every pair of eyes will be directed at you when your eyes mercilessly point to everyone that you're lost in their conversation.At that moment,the uncomfortable feeling will engulf you and you just wish to sink into the floor.Otherwise,working with the Adams team seems more rewarding,easily approachable when your are in doubt and less stressful compared to where I am now.
The current department where I am now is adrenaline rush enviroment(well, that's what the ones work who work there makes it look like!) coupled with excessive emotions ,including the Adam team who work there.Will it ever get better?If a MO cannot maintain his/her calm,how do a young HO like me to begin with?Identified nice souls in this department and atleast now I can question them when I'm not clear on something and it feels good,unlike how it was few weeks ago when I missed my previous posting and my highly respected mentor.I'm convinced now that,somehow,things will get better as it goes.
Otherwise,for me,housemanship period is where I am learning not to ever give up on what I'm doing and whatever that may come/seems to be hard,will eventually pass and make things easier,and that;s only when I don;t give up,ever.

Love and Dream...:) a revisit needed..
19th December 2012 @ 2235
I grew up being someone who craves for novels.I love them to the extreme.My first ever most sought after novelist during teen age was Franchine Pascal who penned down more than 50 books of Sweet Valley Twins.The teen novels were hot selling books in the MPH/Popular or any book stores.I remember being a weekly visitor to the state public library to grab as many books as I could as Dad totally had a different opinion on buying novels with price tag,well who wouldn't when I don't re-read the novels subsequently they just end up being lifelessly paraded on my shelves.Selfishly,I used to hide the books on top of the shelves in library so no one could lay their hands on the novels till I finish reading them.Yes,I know I was being selfish but...:)Exchanging books with friends became another alternative...those were the days of living in fairy tale world which took me to Sweet Valley High and Sweet Valley University.As I advanced further,Sidney Sheldon and Michael Crichton(the creator of ER) came into the picture and replaced Franchine Pascal.A high school student once I was,novel reading was minimised but at every chance I could get,checking out new novels has always been my favourite agenda on my outings.
In Medic School days,when I was freezing in my 410 during winter on semester breaks,the-just-nice-warm temperature of the room from the heater,a cup of coffee with slowly tuned on favourite collections of songs in the background,cuddling under the blanket with a good novel had always been the most memorable and best activities which I had always looked forward.As you would have guessed,as you grow older,your interests changes and Danielle Steel and Cecelia Ahern soon joined my list of best authors ever and I'm totally engrossed with them that a month ago I even bought few books online..this time around,Dad didn't say anything,of course;)
The big names of authors which I mentioned earlier inspire me to read more and to become like them.I've always been marvelled at the thought of how imaginative one can be having had published novels which captivate the hearts of many.The touch of words and imagination is indescribable.All I can say,they are gifted personnel:) They bring us into their world of creativity.I learned the beauty of Paris from the novels I read which made me all in love with Paris and I was struck with awe when I visited the city and I would love to revisit the mesmerizing city once again.The western authors bring life to the novels.I could feel their admiration and love towards their countries when each plot of the novel were narrated in their own countries..Cecelia Ahern hails from Ireland wherelse Danielle Steel from Paris:)
Friday nights parties were encrypted in my mind based on their novels.It felt too good to read the novels and nothing seemed more interesting than those novels.I could go on reading without having have to take a break as how much these authors had made difference in their each novels.A good novel certainly makes one day better and I have 3 books waiting in line to be finished.I wish I have the time to just spread a sheet beside a crystal clear beach,and without any doubt,under a shady palm tree and lay down with a novel in my hand.How I wish so badly for that to happen!Prolly,a good vacation is all that I need!
Fairy tale stories of Cinderella is an all time favourite.Fairy tales,you wish your life is as it is how penned down in it.Nothing seems imperfect..everything is just so fine,with an happy ending in the end no matter how impossible it would have seem in the beginning.Novels put reality check in each read,they make you go all out so that you could feel the plot.Novels give you mixed emotions as you flip through each pages.
A good write wins the thumbs up of many as how an amazing read makes one day.
To all the extraordinary novelists,keep your most creative imagination running as not everyone is gifted like you.Entertain us,the readers as passion for reading a worthy novel will never wean off with time.
Perhaps,one day I will publish a novel with my own words?:)..Yes,that's one of my dreams:A Perfect spot on Eiffel Tower-a pen-blank A4 papers-whilst looking down the beautiful Paris:)
A Dream Of Mine.
