2010

I have always wanted to write something but didn't seem to have the time to do so. Or I was too lazy to do so?
Found out one interesting blog last Sunday when I was suppose to use my housemate's laptop to find X rays online for my upcoming exam. Instead, I read this: http://rumorsweretrue.wordpress.com/2006/11/01/pancakes-every-morning/

So totally true. Now I hate pancakes. And I think I need to procrastinate less often.
Everyone was trying to explain to me that it's totally ok to slack of last year coz we were organizing a conference etc but i know it's not. Coz I KNOW I should've done more than what I did.

BUT, let's hope that I'll do better than that in final year. Results will be out tomorrow so hoping that I can pass and have a real holiday.

It's been a crazy year for me. I spent my holidays doing conference stuff and other things like shopping but it was mainly conference stuff. Still have somethings to be done but I think I need a break. Like a real one where I can just rest and not think about anything.

My resolutions for year 2010 (I know it's a bit late but I promise I will look back at this and try to achieve them for once):
1. STUDY at least an hour day during SCHOOL DAY. (Note that i didn't use read coz I think that applies to non-fiction as well)
2. Ensure that room at least 50% as tidy as Ariel's room in Singapore EVERYDAY.
3. To spend less money on shopping and save on my post-graduation trip.
4. To pass the professional exam! That's for 2011
5. To blog more often than the year 2009. (not difficult to achieve)

can't really think of anything else to put down to the list.

I think I can read fast but that only applies to fictions. This book made me cry so hard and make me think about life.

Since I don't have you-Louise Candlish

It's thought provoking really. And the sad things that happened the past few months. The young lives lost during the dragon boat practice tragedy and the consequences of what my friends did. Life is short and we don't get to undo what we have done or said. Sometimes when you think you are helping someone, you may do more harm than good or worst, get yourself in deep trouble. And shit happens.

I thought about Nian Ning when I heard the news about the chung ling students. All of them so young and had bright future laying ahead of them. So much possibility of what they couldn've achieve. We can't really do much about the arrangement the person up there decided. yes I believe things happen for a reason and sometimes you just can't fight fate.
But what my future profession can do is, to at least to give hope to the patients' family and friends.

It sounds sad but medicine is not just about life and death as I once thought. It is also about providing quality to the patients' life. For instance, a baby can be prevented from having cerebral palsy if only the O&G people do their work better. I can actually see the picture better now but I doubt it's more than 10% of what medicine is about.

So in conclusion, I should strive harder to be the person who can at least make a change in one patient's life even just for that tiny moment.

Note to self: Item no 6. To make my thoughts more organized. As evident from the above post, I think I didn't improve much since I graduated from high school.


Happy Chinese New Year to you if you're reading this:)
