Name:
Location: Singapore

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!

Be confident! Be Confident!!!!

I guess I must be feeling stressed up without realising it very much because I have been having problems with my sleep for the past few nights despite feeling extremely tired. And last night, I had nightmares. Well..it's a nightmare because I dreamt of clinical examination sequences. I remember myself going "Apex beat..tapping..mitral stenosis....heaves..thrills...1HS, 2HS, murmurs" in my dream..and I actually "watched" myself doing it. My goodness....how bad can this get? And if just on the cardio was not enuff, I actually continued dreaming abt the lungs, abdomen and even on the brain! I wonder if I sleep talk while in dreamland last night. I got up in a shock so many times last night, and hence, I self-declared holiday today..haha..didn't go to the hospital...darn..I'm horrid.

I did some intensive studying on Neuro examination again. What a torture. I was looking expressionless when I was cooking in the kitchen. Then my housemate asked me about my revision. I told him I'm having a nasty time with revising neuro examination, and his reply was "NEURO IS SO EASY!!!!! how can u have a bad time with it? if u test me now...i bet u i won't miss a thing!" (hmm..thanks ah...). So much for that comment. I felt very stupid upon hearing that cos...why do ppl think it's easy when I am having a hard time? I started testing him on it, and he didn't seem to know it as well as I do...and told me to lie my way through if I'm tested...(I'm wondering how long one can lie thru in medicine).

That's the problem with me manz. I tend to look damn stupid in front of people, and I do think I'm stupid too. I seem to have loads to ask, and sometimes some sickening Registrars just refuse to answer my questions, but ask me go check it out myself. And I don't talk much when the docs teach me too, while my other classmates talk loads to show that they know. Hence, I look stupid in a way, and if I do miss a point, I tend to think I'm stupid as well. What the hell is wrong with me? Am I really that dumb I wonder..

I need a dosage of confidence boost :(

***********
Checked out the Sg Arts Fest webby which Darren gave. Wah liew..cool manz! There's gonna be Swan Lake in June!!!!!! Gosh..I wanna watch it. I reckon it's gonna be good. Tickets are expensive though since I'm such a fussy person and always wanna go for the best tix.

Heard from Darren that I'll be able to watch PCK the Musical too...lol. I wanna watch that too!!!!!

Sheesh..I wish I'm back in Sg now manz...argh. Can't wait to go back cos I spotted so many interesting performances from the Sistic site. I'm gonna miss Madame Butterfly's performance. What a waste! I just love that one so much! The one I saw in UK was unforgettable.

And also, Josh's gonna have a performance in May too. I wonder if I'll be able to attend. Cantopop performance. He's been pestering me numerous times about it manz (until I get quite irritated). I hope I'll be able to be back in time to watch him perform.

Is there anyone who wanna go with me to watch any/all of the above performances? Let me know ok? Please don't end up letting me watch them myself...lol....do me a favour by accompanying me?
