anyways, day 1 of new posting. and seriously, ophthalmology is bad for my eyes.

i started the day rubbing my eyes cos i was sleepy, and i ended up poking my eyeball with my very long nail.

then i wento the clinic, and the doctor immediately asked me to do millions of fundoscopys and even let me use the slit lamp. like wtf!?!
i can't even freaking remember how to use the fundoscope, so i ended up doing the scope peering from like half a metre away, till i saw the doctor in the opposite room doing it like nose to nose with the patient. then i was like oh my god now i remember. and half the time i couldnt see shit, and just fakied him with alternating 'yah i can see the disc! but its fuzzy.' and 'i can't see anything but black spots'. which are all partially true lah..

unfortunately i got caught in a lie when a ahmah with cataracts came, and he asked me 'did yu see the red reflex'. i forgot all about doing the red reflex cos i was close to asphyxiation from not breathing while nose to nose with the ahmah. so i just quickly said 'YAH! I SAW!' which was a gg. cos apparently cataracts=red reflex is dulled/got opacities blacking it out.

so after that i decided to be honest and blind the patients with the bright lights in my numerous attempts to see the damned disc. and i really saw them, but i ended up with super dry eyes from not blinking in case the stupid disc suddenly disappears.
the asphyxiation is really killing me too. cos we're like so close that i don't wanto breathe on the patients, though they just blatantly breathe all over me. once i really almost died so i had no choice but to let my breath out thru my nose in gentle little puffs, and the patient pushed me away!!!! quite violently!!! wtf!!!!
the slit lamp is worse. its damn hard to move plus im terrified i'll poke the patients eye out with some bit of the machine. so i ended up examining the ahmah's lower eyelid instead of the eye.
i am so not for ophthalmology.

the doctor was super onz, keep spouting stuff like 'perfect beautiful amazing superb' all over the place. he dragged me to see lasik surgery, which was uber. cos each takes like 15minutes, and i heard yu get like thousands of bucks for it. ker-chinggg!!!!
most of the time in the room i was just really pleased that i got to wear the blue doctors hat :) like, finally rid of the fucking white bathroom cap!!!

the uber enthu doc was gonna drag me around for more crazy eye shit if not for wayne (squirming around like a worm looking for babes with his divergent squinty eyes) ran into the both of us. after realising 4 friends are waiting for me, i was released. oh phew. i have never, and probably will never, be so glad to see wayne.

for some non-nerdy stuff.

go catch knocked up!





it is really fucking good.
when i was in cali, it was being advertised all over the place as the most hilarious comedy this year. and the one night stand to own all one night stands. all that advertising shit lah. plus its from the people who did forty year old virgin. and it has katherine heigl! (aka izzy the babe doctor from grey's aka the alien sister in roswell)
so when we couldn't get tickets for harry potter (fucking juveniles overcrowding vivocity), we caught knocked up!
best comedy we've watched since like telladega nights and borat. both have ali g that's why their funny. :)
anw it's really funny. and it totally highlights the differences between guys and girls. seriously, cos bryan and me were laughing at different parts sometimes. so, something for everyone. if yu're bisexual then its yur lucky day, can laugh like fuck all the way through. its M18 so plenty of boobs and even a vagina for the horny boys. and its 2h+ long! comedies are seldom that long i think. damn value for money lah, some more got safra discount. haha shit so auntie.

i know underhype is the way to go, but shit i really find the show really damn good lah.
i am so gonna buy the dvd!!

ok now i have to go read wikipedia on diabetic retinopathy before i get screwed tmr.
i am probably going to do smtg stupid instead (eg. blogging, like now), but heck at least i tried.

patient of the day

doc: explaining post op analgesia options. aiyah, boring stuff that no one wants to know la, except nerd med students like maybe me to increase knowledge to prevent rape by evil tutor.

pt: aiyah doc yu choose lah. and after i sleep, yu can do whatever yu want to me, i don't care. so long as i wake up, i'm still in singapore, and not in heaven. or hell.

lucky i wearing mask, if not he can see me giggling.

i am relatively glad this damned lonely posting is ending soon.

life in singapore, in pictures


axis bar at oriental for post-holiday catchup

i am proud to have the tannest face. FINALLY i am the tannest in a group of people.
anw, notice wayne is wearing a cool transformer shirt. everytime he wears it he will do a robot dance, serious. bug him enough and he will do it for yu.


and then, its back to school

mugger manny is extremely glad to be back in school :) ...not!

sushi tei. where i was almost forced to eat edamame. fucker wayne.

anyone spot a banshee in the background?

marmalade pantry and canele with 2 skinny twigs.

good dinner, good dessert and good company make a good end to a not as good week.
anw, olivia, we missed yu! i especially miss laughing at yur slowness :)

anw, i feel weird, cos minjia is working already. like, real working. not lame stuff like tuition and waitressing to earn extra cash. but doing real work that actually involves stuff yu learned in school as a real adult with real salary (salaries below $1000/month while temping don't really count as real mah..) i feel like a kid, cos i still have 2 years of school. :(
next year will be weirder, cos more people will graduate. that includes my sister!! who is younger!! and then when she officially completes her studies in the same year as me, she will have masters!! and what do i have? only mbbs. oh no, i am cui. :(

to up the weird factor, next week we are going to the mortuary.
freakydicky! i still remember when i first entered med school, some idiot told me that all medical students must spend one night locked in the mortuary to qualify. wtf, i actually kinda believed it. what an idiot.
damn, i kinda hope there will be interesting autopsies. but only kinda, cos its mean. cos for interesting autopsies to happen, people will have to die in interesting ways.
anw, i predict it will stink, which hopefully will help my pseudo-diet. cos i don't feel like puking all over myself (minjia, smtg familiar? heehee don't pao-box me)

ok enough crap. out!
