18 days and counting!!

Went into OT the other day, Thursday it was.. Yes..

At one point, the surgeon turned to me and said "Get some gloves.." So I rush over to the box of gloves - pull a pair out and pass it to Najwa.. And take a pair for myself.. I turn around to see both her and the nurse looking at me puzzled. I just put them on, and went back to the table, and it took a few seconds before I realized that.. HE DIDN'T ASK ME TO PUT GLOVES ON! I then proceed to fold my arms and hide my gloved hands.. 2 seconds later, I take them off - and sit down feeling the most embarrassed I've felt in a long while.. Good thing Mr. Surgeon didn't see me ;P

Got myself embarrassed again at church..

Was hanging around with Angela, Caroline and her baby - Jessica, before church started. And, I was talking to Jessica when Angela says "Pull her hair.." SO I thought she was talking to me, and I go to pull Jessica's hair - and say "Pull her hair?" Hrmmm. Guess what? Angela was telling Jessica to pull my hair. What was I doing trying to pull a 3 month old baby girl's hair? What was I doing?!

Had a laugh after that anyway ;P So its all good..

Been a little while since I last blogged - but I've been good ;) Been trying to sit down and study..

18th - CVS Pathology MCQ
This Thursday :D

26th - OSCE
Next Friday :D

29th - Respiratory Pathology MCQ
The Monday after!!

?? - Surgery MCQ

:) Then I get to go home!!! 18 days to go :)

Went over to Gary and Sandra's for dinner after church - we had beef stew, and apple crumble with ice cream for dessert! Yum yum :) Then watched Shrek 2 with the kids :D I love their kids!! And just hung out a bit before coming back home :) Ah, the 6 Bennetts :D

Saturday was fun too! Went over to Gary and Sandra's for music practice for Sunday, then over to Angela's before lunch and MI:3.. I love this family!! Carole, Brian, Angela, and her 2 boys - Ben and Luca :)

MI:3 was really action packed! We got into the cinema just on time - and I was just glued to my seat - didn't matter how much I needed to go to the bathroom.. Haha.. Yeah, but felt they could have added more depth to some of the characters ;P But I guess they just didn't have the time! And where would they squeeze that in between the action?

(Sorry KJ I didn't get to go with you.. )

So Monday came and went :P I cooked dinner wayyy too early and ended up being hungry before going to bed :( Oh well..

So yeah, that was my weekend and a few embarrassing moments for ya ;)

Will post again soon :D

Happy mother's day!!


It's Mother's Day :)

"A mother is the only person on earth who can divide her love among ten children, and each child still have all her love."

Aren't mums the best?? Well, mine is :D

I love my Mummy :)

The princess and the good guy..

Sounds like a fairy tale maybe? But no..

Yesterday's 5-hour-long afternoon nap brought me to a place where I was a princess, and had two children. In the land there was an evil man who wanted to become king, so he plotted to make me say he could become king by tricking me. And he succeeded :( Then I woke up.

Now I know why I dreamt about a princess :P Someone asked me a riddle which was derived from a joke that's circulating online.. So this princess is cursed - and everything she touches melts, and a prince from a faraway land asked her to put her hand in his pocket and what she held didn't melt. What was she holding? M&Ms :) They melt in your mouth and not in your hand. (cue: laughter)

Last night's 5-hour-long sleep brought me to another place where some really, really bad guys were to be executioned. And some really clever guards who left some really cool guns (all with unlimited shots) in a box very near them unrestrained bad guys. So havoc ensued - bad guys taking over Galway with their guns - and us good people had to go into hiding. I had a gun myself - why didn't I keep it? I didn't want people thinking I was a baddie too - I was the good guy ;)

6 hours of interrupted sleep..

That's what you get I suppose? After 11 hours of solid sleep one night, I get a night of restless liquid sleep.. Maybe I should have slept earlier or maybe not looked at those pictures of skin tumours and what-nots..

This morning we had a surgical case conference.. And you know those horror stories you hear about a girl with long hair going on the Solero-shot ride in Genting? Bout her hair getting caught in the machinery? And how her scalp "came off"? Yeah, we were presented a case bout someone who had that happen to them as in their scalp came off (scalp avulsion) and they did reconstructive surgery to replant the scalp onto the patients head. They reconnected the major arteries but not the nerves. Who knew he'd look brand-new a couple of weeks post-op :) And who knew I'd be so weirded out at the sight of a scalp with hair and tips of ears sitting on a table..
