not to give up,ever.

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.

                                                   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.

15th November 2012 @ 1600

So,another year of birthday passed.Birthdays used to be an event that I looked forward very much few years ago but now,no more.With age is catching up,my birth day is just any other ordinary day for me now.I'd rather keep and celebrate it on my own than cutting cake in front of a big crowd.But,when you have an enthusiastic sibling and blood related relatives,all you can do is to kneel down,make a wish and cut the cake and that's all about celebrating birthdays.

As there are more fine wrinkles started to appear on your face,I'm very much ascertained that I'm getting more wiser(I believe!).It's pretty much a tedious task to get your heart and brain to work in a par as they never could.There's no clear distinct line between what a heart or a brain can decide in life.They just love overlap in decision making and drive you up to the walls.

However,I know I;m not the only one being victimised by both of them.I learned not to let myself high on something or someone.It;s a big no no.Never.Staying calm and with a good insight thought on something can  save one from loads of trouble.

No one said it's going to be easy but being the me,I know I can get through hurdles that's already on my way.

A year older means a year wiser,hence I'm hoping for a better decision making and action by myself.

Good luck to me!

wrong expectation..

17th October 2012 @ 1418

I came back looking for you after such a long silence,bloggie.Here I am today reminiscing what I had gone through for the past 4 months.Just the thought of is making me all sorrow.Did I change from my usual self?I'm certain that I did not.

Life is not how you see it with your very own two lens.People are not as kind/fair or treat others equally.There will always be people who will try to bring you down.There will always be people who wants to see you end up in misery.There will always be,regardless,people who will show their long serving service as their reason to make you a scapegoat.There will always be people who will be so pre-occupied with themselves that whatever that you do at your best ,will go unnoticed in their eyes.There will be always people who will try to take advantage by the name of being friends and colleague,just because you're way too nice.AND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PEOPLE WHO WILL NEVER APPRECIATE YOUR WORK!!!.

You can do a million good things everyday at work but when you're caught for a single tiny error which could have been solved with a talk,there goes your status as a 'good' even with explanations.Mind you,there will always be someone who is not satisfied with you everyday and will try to dig your previous mistake.

In spite of you trying to uphold Hippocrates priceless oath in treating patients,the journey of a houseman is provoking doubts in myself.Am i going to endure this till next year as a houseman?Only time has the answers for my questions.

With pure and good intentions in mind to practice in addition to sympathy and a kind heart,you will get victimised for trying to help a patient.Apart from that,just when you thought of ignoring the rest and concentrate on your work,here comes a patient with false accusations on you by lodging a complaint to the office which is totally unfair for yourself.Patients are not as patient as they were before.They demand for a private hospital treatment in General Hospital.If you don't attend to their needs,there goes a complaint saying "I'm not satisfied with this doctor's attitude",even when your attitude of speaking to patients are far more better than the specialists.

Too many obstacles to face in getting through this period.At times you just wish to scream for a justice but I'm sure my voice will be drown by their voices of superior.I seriously feel housemen are merely being clerks and being used to cover other peoples mistakes.Who are there to side the housemen when something goes wrong?even the staff nurses have all the support from the sister in charge..and we?just to obey decisions made!

An angry heart or a broken heart will take some time to regain back its strength.Too many times of trying to console my heart for I know what I did was right and I will continue doing what is right as I know my passion and the promise that I had made.Learned about people and their attitudes way too late.I should have known from the start that good people don't stand the chance to stay away from trouble for too long.There will be a time where the trouble will find you till our instinct can't even sense or warn you before hand.

If all these are challenges to teach me about dealing with humans is not how I expected it to be,very well I will accept this and there's no more giving face to anything that could deprive my own stand.

You just wish at times,life is simpler than this.You seriously wish!

you're just a ring away:)

30th March'12 @0119

When life get's hard,the other person that you can reliably turn to besides your parents is your friends.If there's one untarnished relationship in this world besides family is non other than friendship.
I've said this quite a number of times,but I'm definitely blessed with the ones that I have in my life.Although now we're working adults,yet we will still find time whenever we're on off days/when any of us are back to home town.A ring is enough to make an outing of 6 hours!(and sometimes more longer than that!).
You know what I find it interesting and fun here?There's always a serious talk when you surround yourself with your colleagues but the best part of going out with my partners in crime is,we can always behave and be our ownselves,crack jokes and be the 16 year olds that once we were and no one will pull you back to a serious topic.
As you go on in life,you'll find so many different people and we should let our hearts open to welcome new friends in life but as you get older,you know it's not how many friends you have in life but how many real friends who are still in touch with you.
You know you're lucky when one ring is answered by "let's go" or when gloomy days,that same ring responded with "hey,you ok?"-in this case,I know,I am truly blessed.

Not sure anymore.

"it's ironic,years of waiting to be unleashed,only to realise later on,it's better to be protected under the watchful eyes..."

19th March'12 @2252

Life is really funny you know.Many of us(including me,yes underline that me word) in our teen days:
- wanted to be out of parents supervision despite knowing ourselves being brats
-wanted to do things on our own even when it's beyond our limits
-wanted to be able to make up our decisions without being told what to do
-wanted to experience the outer world earlier because of our endless curiosity
-used to contemplate hard why "I'm not allowed to do so?"
-in short,we just wanted to grow up fast/better still wanted to be an adult when others took the responsibilites to be one

* we just couldn't wait to grow up as from outlook,it's COOL to be an adult than being a child.

However,
Once we're adult,
* all that were once so promisingly took us to the 'adulthood' with much admiration and hope,just slipping away..

Honestly,
-I am not sure what's right/wrong
-I don't understand the world,seriously!
-I couldn't comprehend how human betray others' trust and break their hearts
-I simply can't digest how people could be so inhuman/jerks ..and there're alot of them to make life of others ugly

To cut it short,I'M NOT SURE ANYMORE OF WHAT PREVIOUSLY I WAS VERY MUCH CERTAIN ABOUT.

My entry today pretty sucks,I know it but like i have told earlier,I'm not sure anymore and humans are incomprehensible creatures hence I couldn't care more to explain.
