A Singaporean girl who graduated from a Medical College in the UK and currently working as a doctor, spending most of my years abroad burying myself amongst medical books, speaking Queen's English and trying to adapt to life in Britain. But I still remain a true blue Singaporean who loves my plate of char kway teow and enjoys the sense of closeness when speaking "Singlish" to my fellow countrymen. Why "The Chinese Doctor"? Because that's what my patients call me since they don't know my name!

Not another one of those nights..

EAT SHIT MANZ! -.-

It's one of those tossing and turning nights whereby I can't go to sleep..pissing the hell out of me.

What am I thinking manz?! No, I should say...WHAT'S THERE TO THINK?!

My mind's not clear enough definitely. I worry about today, tomorrow, the next day..everyday...when there's nothing to worry actually. What the hell is wrong with me?

I haven't had a real good night's sleep for a while..as in those with a smile on my face, nicely cuddled up, feeling secured. It's draining away my energy, and I don't feel much better even if I sleep more than 8 hours. The only time I really doze and not wanna wake up is on the bus.

Actually, I felt so tired this morning that I skipped Jap class. Trust me, I have set my alarm and wanted to get up, but I just couldn't. My eyes just couldn't open at all. Body aching as well.

Last night, I had problems sleeping too. My aircon was put on full blast, but my body was feeling so warm...so so warm that I couldn't stand it and decided to get up and watch VCD. And now, the same thing. But I'm not gonna watch another episode tonight. I have to try to sleep.

The moment I lay on my bed, so many things came into my mind. The past, the present, the future. My worries, my fears. I don't even know why I even allow myself to think about them, but they just came flooding in.

Today, I visited Grandpa at the hospital. He got admitted again for a MRI scan. He told me that 8 medical students who are in their 3rd year came to take a history from him. Then...

Grandpa: Don't think of so many things. Or else how to study?
Me: *silence*
Grandpa: Louis is gonna become a doctor in May..he's in final yr now u noe?
Me: *silence*
Grandpa: If you had gone back to UK, you'll be in 4th yr now right?
Me: Ya...

Yup, I felt useless and extremely demoralised.

It wasn't over. Mum brought the topic, medicine, up again during dinner.

Mum: Dr. Lim asked what you are doing now that you are taking a gap year. I think he's wondering how come you're not doing some attachment. I think he's worried that you will forget everything after these few months.
Me: *silence*
Mum: Honestly, do you still like medicine?
Me: If you continue querying me about it, then maybe I will start disliking it.

I don't wish to be reminded cos I don't need reminders. I know what is happening to me, and I'm dead clear about it. When I don't cry, it doesn't mean I don't feel a thing. I think my silence says it all, but somehow, people don't get it...they really really don't..

I know perhaps they aren't so sensitive towards my feelings, and I don't blame them. But I do feel bad...


I have no idea why I am losing interest in doing things. I used to love interacting with my friends, but not now. I just want to be alone. I appreciated the smses I receive, but when I get told what to do with myself, I start losing my cool. It's not that I think the advice given to me are wrong, but I'm not in the mood to carry them out, not interested in carrying them out. I just want my fair share of peace and quiet. I will appreciate anything else apart from telling me what to do, because I do know what to do and what I should do. However, I don't wish to do them...at least not now..not for the time being...

Sheesh...what am I rambling about..what has medicine gotto do with my interaction with pals????...shows how messed up my mind is now......sigh...very bad and wrong timing....

Time for a 2nd attempt to sleep. I definitely don't wish to doze off on the table in some fast-food restaurant again later...
