I get worried when computers start going "ooohhmmmmmm..." for no reason. Like what the 1 I am using is doing now. It makes me think that I am doing something wrong. Perhaps library computers generally disapprove of non-academic sites like Facebook :/

Had Dermatology clinic today where the dear, sweet consultant from Malaysia gave me an Excellent grade for having good manners and being interested in Dermatology. I think she either saw that the entry above had given me an Excellent for no apparent reason (jolly old Pam the nurse :D) or she felt obliged not to dash my apparent dreams because I had told her that Derm is (or was) the 2nd most popular choice of speciality to get into in Singapore and that only the best people could get in. And that my parents wanted me to be one. Apparently it is very different here. Everyone seems to have a very discouraging impression of Dermatologists and seems to think they don't do much work. Apparently there is much talk of scraping it as a speciality altogether and letting GPs do more of the work :I I don't really know what to make of it... But I think Dermatology did become a specialty for a reason..

Recently found new entertainment in 1) The Black Magician trilogy and 2) The Office. I love random humour (: I also just found a new book called The Roaches Have No King. But I'm sure that with the restoration of an internet-available room next month, my old interests will be rediscovered. Ah but I probably really should give in to a DNR (Do Not Resus) request for my Acer now. Sad that is :( Thought I would have been able to stretch it out to when i graduate but it has arrested on me more than a handful of times in the past year so.. I think I need to let it go. Meanwhile, I shall indulge myself on pretty-looking laptops. Yi Ling and Evon and Papa can help me with the technical bits.

Halfway through my 2nd 2-week leg at Northampton. Why does everyone not seem to have to study and yet know stuff?

This week was spent in plastics/derm/maxfac. I still think plastics is possibly the coolest speciality there is. Too bad I don't want to be a surgeon :/ You see the craziest things in plastics - people walking through glass doors, people getting their faces sawed open by accident, crazy people sticking batteries into their skin... Plastics is really not the glamorous speciality everyone makes it out to be. If anything, they see the most revolting stuff and have the most morbid party stories to tell.

Nothing much achieved this week. A lot of waiting around and people not turning up to teach us when they should, a lot of time-wasting. Overall a rather unproductive week apart from the fact that I went jogging TWICE so far! Will go again tomorrow.

It has been several months and my printer is still not installed so have not been able to express a thousand words for a while. Anyway there hasn't been any time, or rather, mood to draw happy doodles of myself...

Everyone is now back in their respective countries (with regards to both friends and family) and life is starting to chug on like normal. Have not spoken very much to people until the last few days. The worst exam that I have ever experienced has just finished and there is this sudden sense of senselessness like the aftermath of an earthquake where a part of you is relieved that it is over but the other half does not know the extent of damage to expect. Again I am up at the crack of dawn (6plus) and so am twiddling my thumbs coz there is nothing particularly constructive that up to doing as yet. And believe it or not.. I am waiting to sit for another paper soon (although it is not counted). Oh well everyone (who had finished yesterday) had taken the day off to do their nails/go clubbing anyway so I guess really, no one is too bothered. No. No one is bothered at all about what the fake paper today entails. Until the day before I had been under the impression that we were going to be sitting for a completely different paper too -_- Trust me to be the blur one who is always out of the loop.

This is the first time I actually want the results to be out quickly instead of running away and wishing for it to drag out like how I normally do. The feeling of not knowing how you did is so... disruptive. I really think that GP block has left a scar. All ang mohs are so fake and I do not trust my feeling that I have done ok when I have just finished a station anymore. Oh need to get ready for my fake paper now.. Wish everything will really be over soon ><
