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!

Obligations and the Asshole

It was pretty funny when Darren talked so much to me about this issue..haha.

Just when I think I'm kinda bo hiu already, I was so amazed to realise that there's someone who's even more bo hiu and bo chup than me.

He was saying I am not obligated to do anything for anyone. If it gets on my nerves, just go ahead and say "I am busy" or "I am not free"..ahaha. Ay, actually sometimes I feel like saying that, but yeah..it's the 'aiyah..nvm lah..be nice' mentality that stops me from being such an asshole. I tend to feel guilty if I just completely ignore and don't help the person, I suppose.

I was even more surprised when he said I'm nice to bully. Gosh! He's like the dunno number what person to tell me that. Am I that nice to bully huh? *ponders* Oh well, as long as they don't hurt me in any way, I'm fine with it.

Had a few social obligations these 2 days. Before I go on abt it..let me announce something. It made me so happy and relieved!

I spoke to my clinical subdean about the problems I am facing abt the clinical examination and about my 'studying problem'. Miss Sweetland was really so nice! I'm so glad I made the right decision to have a chat with her. She clarified all my doubts about how detailed I should get for each system, and now I think I have a clear idea about expectations at my level. Phew! And she also told me that I'm not the only one who keeps forgetting about the details of diseases and conditions. She said that even she does, till this level of being a Consultant Surgeon, and it's a natural thing that everyone in the medical field goes through. It only takes experience to remember it. Finally, I don't feel abnormal, thinking that I'm got memory impairment (even though my memory is still bad compared to a lot of my classmates).

Ok, now for the social obligations.

Sophie asked me to go clubbing with her and her housemates on Thursday night, but I ended up not going because I didn't have a clubbing attire to wear. No way am I going in to the clubs with turtle necks again (it's freaky hot!). Gave the excuse that I was knackered..and I felt so terribly guilty when she smsed me to ask me to have an early night and have a good rest. Oh boy did it feel bad lying. Told Mum about it, and she suggested I take her out for a good meal to make up for it. Yeah, I think I'll do that..will find a good time to do so.

It was Steven's (one of my housemates) bday yesterday (Good Friday). Because the house was gonna sing a bday song for him, the others knocked on my door and asked if I wanted to join them. I thought it won't be nice if I don't give face, so I joined in. I didn't talk a lot when I was in the living room with them, cos irritating JC was around. Hahaha..those who know me pretty well would most likely have heard me complaining about her. It's not that I didn't wanna talk, but whenever she's around, she will make sure she gets the attention from everyone, so...give it to her lor (not as if I'm gian to have others' attention...pui!).

Buay tahan her...wish I could have thrown her out of the window yesterday manz. Well, I have to admit that because I didn't like her very much, I tend to be more sensitive towards her shitty ways. Let me tell ya what she said yesterday..

JC: Ay..u know why I put strawberries on the cheese cake I baked for ur bday?
Steven: Why?
JC: Cos I like to eat strawberries, so I put strawberries...

Stupid shit. -.-

We decided to take photos, so Yichong brought down his big tripod. When he was setting it up, he was commenting that whenever he went out with his gf...he can never take photos of himself...hahahahahaha....cos his gf will make him take photos of her ALL the time...and he said he's like some walking camera man..hahaha.

During photo taking time, I happen to stand close to JC (We only had Steven sitting down between us), and wah liew...u should really try to be in my position manz. She was yelling at her bf about the camera, and kaoz....her voice is already loud by nature (she's famous for being nicknamed as 'Loud Speaker' in Cardiff)...you can just imagine how loud it is when she yells. It was the kind of volume which will make u jerk away and cover ur ears sort. I was so pissed off I almost went "Wah liew JC, stop yelling lah!!! You know your voice is damn loud or not?! You wanna wake the neighbours up isit? Now already past midnight, hello?" And what was she yelling abt, you may ask...

JC: KUNSEN! PUT THE FLASH ON FOR THE CAMERA!!!!!!!!!!
Kunsen: Why must put flash?
Yichong: Yah lor..why must put? Don't put lah...the lighting here is ok already.
JC: I DON'T CARE! MUST PUT FLASH!
Kunsen: But why?!
JC: COS IF U DUN PUT FLASH, I WON'T LOOK NICE IN THE PHOTO
Me: -.-
Kunsen: Nahz..u'll look fine...
Yichong: Aiyah...it's just u what. Trust me, the pic will be fine without the flash.
JC: I DON'T CARE!!!! KUNSEN...PUT THE FLASH ON! LATER THE PHOTO NOT NICE!!!!
Kunsen: It's ok without it.
Yichong: Oei, hurry up leh..

So finally the pics were taken without flash. Kaoz...she and her ' I don't look nice' logic. Machiam the main feature of the pic is her... *rolls eyes*

This evening, all of us went out for dinner at a chinese restaurant. Kunsen and her went off together, while the rest of us drove another car there. We arrived earlier cos the couple went to return some DVDs. And it was damn funny at the restaurant, cos the guys were saying we should hurry choose our stuffs before JC arrives...hahahahha...gosh..I think I know why, and I think my guess is right..

When she arrived, the first thing she said was "AY, I WANT TO EAT BEANCURD!". I got damn sianz on the spot when she said that. Not because I didn't want beancurd, but I was thinking if the guys will all give way to her (they always do...she's like queen of the house when she's an 'illegal' lodger) and then she will end up choosing only the dishes she wants to eat. I won't be surprised if she does that. And if she really does that, I'm definitely gonna insist that I want stuffs which she probably doesn't like. I won't give way to her manz. To hell with her if she gets pissed.....

It's a good thing we already decided on a few choices before she came, so she didn't have her way this time round.

I talked really little after she came. Same reason.

Anyway, I had a filling dinner, and the food was not bad. Company wasn't that bad (except for her presence) too.

Oh yah..I bought Easter eggs for my housemates! I decided to buy for them as well since I was gonna buy some to give to Sophie and my other friends in the hospital. It did make me really happy when they were touched, and surprised. I didn't leave out JC's share (trust me, if it weren't becos it won't look nice if I gave everyone one except her, I wouldn't have bought her share), and she didn't even say a word of 'Thanks' at all. So rude....I wish I had some rotten eggs on hand manz..would have smashed it into her face with them..
