Inspiration from 'above'

I've been having this piece of paper stuck on my board in my home since I can remember when.

I usually tend to ignore it until I find myself stuck to my chair as exams draw near and for a break,I just happen to look up and see that piece of paper that inspires me to push on..
And remind me that in everything I do..
I'm not alone..

I know most of us are facing hard times during the upcoming exams,as it is our first exam in clinical school so we are not so familiar to the system.To others, they are facing their biggest exams yet.

So,I'm hoping that after u read this,u'l feel just as inspired as I am to push on.
And remember that in everything we do,We're Not Alone.

His Watching Over Us :)

I am to blessed to be stressed!!!!

The shortest distance between a problem and a solution,

Is the distance between your knees and the floor.

Those who kneel to the Lord can stand up to ANYTHING

So yea,during exam period time you'l prob see me limping around complaining of knee pains.
Its that symdrome priest get coz they kneel down to much..
Dang,can't remember the word for it..

So to me friends who are facing exams and stressing out..
All the best!!
And to my bodoh-clan,lets just keep remaining bodoh..
Lol,just kidding!!

Of scales and more nonsensical reports

Reports...

Reports...

Reports...

And More Reports..

Why did God create REPORTS!!!

Why do we have to type SO MANY REPORTS!!

Wasting paper and killing more trees only...

I wonder if the hantu that came up with this idea of writing THIS MANY reports is related to the owner of the A4 paper company or something...

Next monday holiday...

YESH!! CANT WAIT!!!

Eversince I started Int Med posting, I meet patients who are constantly in pain and I find myself having to ask them this favourite question everytime.

Me : So,on the scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being pain that u can bear and 10 being unbearable pain that death seems so much sweeter (Ok,maybe i didn't say it that way but it still has death being so much better than the pain), how would u rate your pain?

On one occasion, a friend of mine asked that question to a patient who said he was in so much pain that is was so unbearable and this was what happened..

Sky's Friend : So uncle, on the scale of 1 to 10,what you rate your pain? 1 is boleh tahan pain and 10 is pain until want to die (direct translations k)

Patient : 1

And since we are on the subject of scales..
I was feeeling really depressed the other day cause I just finished my mini -CEX (its not pronounced SEX although it seems like that) and the feedback I got was I need to study more.It was not just from the lecturer (Thanks Dr Koh,you were really nice. You ROCK!! => OK,if your reading this,you did not see that statement yeah Dr. I'l bring a yellow bag for you incase I see u and if u ask me question and my answer makes u want to 'vomit blood'. Since the dustbin I pointed to is not the right place to vomit in..Hehe.. ) but it also came from following doctors for rounds and when they bombard me with questions, half the time I stand there stumped and admittingly telling them the much dreaded words most people don't like to hear.

"I'm sorry but I don't know."

Although its an honest answer,I cant help feeling so stoopid and how low it makes me feel to tell them I don't know.Sometimes I wonder if i'm studying right.I read alot but when questions are thrown at me,my brain feels like its been dipped in Nitrogen solution or suddenly the flow of electrical impulses all stop to the simultaneous Red light.And truth to be told,its affecting my morale and confidence in this field even more.

I want to do what I'm doing now.I want to do medicine cause everyday is really exciting.The patients I meet and talk to, the new things I see that most people would never believe is possible.

But,am I good enough?

Am I really prepared?

My sister told me one of her friend who was suppose to be doing housemanship has quit.Mum,jie and I were talking about it over the dinner table.We felt it was strange and such a waste.But what I took away from that table troubled me more and further pulmate my confidence.

What if I end up like Jie's friend?

What if I cant take the stress?

What if I make it all the way cause thats as much strength I have but the next 2 years in housemanship is the final straw for me?

I don't want to end up like Jie's friend.
I want to succeed.

And mum said something else that really struck a cord and now has me chewing on.

Studying is one thing in medicine,the stress is another thing.Everyone can study but not everyone can take the pressure.

And after all that pondering,I came up with this scale that's currently posted on my MSN pm.
Its call the stoopid scale.
Goes more or less along the same line as the pain scale : 1 being bearble stoopid,10 being REALLY TOTALLY INSANELY BEYOND DOUBT (and help) stupid..
Basically its asking people to rate how stoopid they think I am..

So...

On the scale of 1 to 10,How stoopid do u think I am? 

 Honestly speaking..

I hate being the evil,mean person that'l make me really hate-able.

I prefer to stay out and just stay down,make peace...

(Think this influence came from watching all those movies like Black Hawk Down and Band of Brothers)

Why cause a commotion when there is always a more reasonable,rationale and less voice-raising way to settle things?

But of course,easier said than done..

Desperate times occasionally calls for desperate measures..

And sometimes,hoping to be nice is not an option.

Its a forceful way if I want to survive and not get trampled on.

Yes,just because I'm small sized and smile or laugh alot and play more than I should DOESN'T mean I'm what I look like on the outside.

It doesn't mean I can be easily taken advantage of.

Neither does it mean,I'l always give in with a smile.

I'm not an idiot,nor am I as docile as u see me..

I merely choose to not be that vicious mean beast that everyone has and openly show it.

But trample on me,or take advantage of me..

I'l make hell seem like heaven for you..

I still prefer to be nice and peaceful.

So please,don't provoke me....

One of the best love poems to read

Got this wonderful love poem sent to my phone this morning that just really made my day :)

This poem was created through a series of sms-es

EK : OMG the sky is so dark..

ME : But its shining bright here..

Ek : Now its raining

Haha.

GOTCHA!!

Super randomness of the day.
If you didn't get the joke,its ok.Its an internal joke,your not slow.

And an extra note to add,I'm NOT ATTACHED!!And NO PRIS and CHRISTY!! I DO NOT WAN FLETCHER (or however you spell that idiot's name)
I'd rather take the scapel and slit my wrist than let him come near me or have anything to do with him...
Nono,i'm not advertising myself.
I'm pointing out that this was never actually a love poem.
ALthough it can sound like one..

And another internal joke to add for the day...

I Wonder Why??

*cheesy grinz*

Sky....

Just heard her neighbour screamed and is wondering whats wrong..

And now is recalling CW-Ian-JM-Lippy's neighbour incident...

And is wondering now if should go check or do the Lippy thing..

And now is starting to panic cause she hasn't studied the entire weekend..

Needs to stop typing from a 3rd person's POV...

Misses her home and TV + Astro on a nice warm,lazy weekend afternoon like this...

Discovery of the day

Who would have thought that you don't always have to have pure SALT in your kitchen to cook something good ?

Yup,I is not kidding.

Was too tired today to join my fellow housemates and extended housemate for dinner.Told them not to buy dinner for me in case I woke up really late and have no appetite to eat since I kinda screwed up my gastric rhythm.Unfortunately,since I'm a slight sleeper,once waken no more sleep for me.So after another 10 minutes of snoozing and unable to continue on,I decided to dig in the fridge for dinner and found :

1) One ready made ceaser salad purchased from Jusco (gotta love them,make life so much easier)
2) Mushrooms
3) Frozen solid chicken breast meat (took me half an hour to defrost it and ripping it apart)
4) NO SALT !!! (lolz )

So decided to whip up a ceaser salad minus the salt for the chicken grilling.Instead,after much digging in the kitchen,I found....

GROUNDED CHICKEN CUBES!! (i think this was from Liyen,or is it Jo's? But thanks anyway,quite a lifesaver)
Marinated the chicken breast with it plus some pepper and TADAA!!!!

Ceaser Salad with NO SALT!! :)
And mind u,the grilled chicken with chicken cube seasoning was AWESOME!!
Hehe....
Bet you did'nt know that rite?

Gonna experiment somemore in the kitchen when I'm more free..Lalala..
Sorry no pictures.Was too hungry to snap any.Evidence of it is well,something you wouldn't want to know or see *grinz*

I should start watching what I eat...I'm starting my slow crawl to THAT age  *gasps*

Was looking at Yeen's photos on FB of her Pub Crawl in Leichester when I crossed a picture of guys donning banana suits.
And now,I have this annoyingly hyper song stuck in my head...GRR!!!



Seriously ANNOYING me now!!

It seems this famous saying's been passing round alot these days.
Is there a season for all this old proverbs thingy?

If life gives you lemons,make lemonade.

I say..
If life gives you lemon,take it,cut it in half and rub it back at the idiot's face who gave it to you :)

I'm feeling biatchy coz I'm having a very congested nose and running a fever...
