hi there, exam was over last thursday. I was wounded, heartbroken, crestfallen, whatever word you wanna say to describe a HUGE MAJOR disappointment of myself. the memories of the exam kept on rewinding (felt like I was stuck watching re-runs of seriously bad movies). like, I'd see the patient's face, the examiners', my faults, thinking "why did I do that? why didn't I do this? why did I say that? why didn't I say this, etc etc" summary of all -> GIGANTIC REGRET
probably I'm suffering PTSD. its a very terrible traumatic feeling. the whole thing brought me down, i KNOW i did terribly in the exams and i fear of the consequences. and death is not an option. anyways, i KNOW there's nothing i can do to change anything of the past. I cant control it, and that tortures me. and I do know that mourning over it can't change anything so I'd have to choose paths that would benefit me the best in whatever it is in the future.
anyway, we're starting Orthopedics today. It will be a 2-week-posting, meaning in just 2 weeks time, we're having an exam - (freaking) AGAIN.
Ortho's an interesting medical field. deals with 3 major components: skin, muscles and bones. I somehow can't wait to start anew. I hope I won't repeat the same mistakes again. I hope I will be strong enough, I have I have good enough determination to go through with all this. I know by entering medical field, its gonna be a hard, long learning process that will go on FOREVER, non-stop (this is kinda like in the fine print in medical school admission XD). I used to think that my learning process would stop at school, matrix and college. and working is the finish line (always dreamed of having lots of money, buying things and relaxing or doing whatever i want) but I was seriously wrong, thats just a kid's fantasy land. this is the real world, of course its tough! so yeah, I'm hoping that I would have enough strength to be in this field.
oh, btw, the only things that can distract me from my traumatised self are hot vampires from The Vampires Diaries (<3 Stefan!). anyone who knows me well, know that I have a thing for vampires hehe. I'm glad people can produce such a nice tv series, though it has high school theme and the kinda cliche-ish story of romance between vampires and mortal, its SO much better than that over-rated Twilight film. I'm SO happy to see fangs in action, unlike the glittery skin and vegan vampires whose highlight of their life was playing softball in Twilight (boo!).
btw, gtg to bed now, I'll fangirl about The Vampire Diaries later X3
nighty night~!

eve of exam day
yup, tomorrow's THE doomday. its time for our end of Paediatrics posting EXAM!! Like I've said so many times (SO cliche-ish!) time flies SOOO freaking fast. It feels just like yesterday I was done with my ObGyn exam and starting on the new posting - Paediatrics. Days and nights in the Paediatrics posting (hospital visits, lectures, seminars, tutorials, clinics), kinda felt like I just floated in and out through them. Its not miniature medicine, its medicine, its everything under the sun, its really really tough. Though for what its worth, I'm gonna miss those little kiddies.
I wish my fellow Paeds friends all the best! hope we all pass in flying colors.
This is war! Get ready your shields, swords and bows! Tonight we dine in hell!! (ok, ignore me, going totally crazy)
If I don't make it............. I love you guys.... huhuhu

past, exam, future
when an exam comes, 2 things come to my mind (almost everytime)
1. the past
2. the future
1. the past
I'll have regrets. of how lazy I was (or am), of how little effort I've given, of things I should do/shouldn't do. I'll wish how great it was if I could turn back time and right my wrongs.
2. the future
I'll wish for the exam to pass quickly. I'll think about things to do after the exam is all done. I'll wish I'd do well and pass.
so yeah, I'll want to turn back time or speed up until after the exam. the past is for good memories, regrets and learning experiences. the future is for hopes, dreams & changes, and its really scary because you won't know what happens next. but the present is the scariest part, because you'll feel every pain you're going through, every cut and blow. time and space continuum is really a sick stuff.

Sundai mornin'
Well, turned out I didn't wake up for the jog (sorry Mel for ditching ya! ^^;)
and I'm so rusty, physically and mentally.
and I'm so rusty, physically and mentally.
me: a rusty tinman
haha! just now, Amy and I went to play badminton at Setapok badminton court. I wanted to do some sports since its been a while that I exercise (the only exercises I'm getting these days are walking to the hospital and climbing up the stairs). so yeah, I asked Amy to play badminton with me.
It rained sooo hard this evening. I actually just wanted to play badminton in college, out in the open, but because of the rain, we had to go to the badminton court. So, we played for an hour for a $10 and we bought a shuttlecock, the cheapest one there is there! ($3) and we laughed at ourselves for looking so amateur (like seriously, there were loads of athletic looking guy, with super big sports branded items (nike shoes, adidas t-shirts, etc etc) with super expensive branded rackets with rackets cover, while Amy and I were holding our old, worn (cheap?) shabby rackets (no fancy covers) and 1 cheap shuttlecocks, and my sport shoes weren't even sport shoes!)
anyway! when we started playing (amateurly, with sounds of expensive shoes squeaking around, and loud smashing of shuttlecocks between the seemingly athletic players) its really fun! I love the endorphins released during exercise (specially when you're playing your favorite sport!) however I got breathless in 15 minutes (like seriously, the 70-ies old men on the court beside us looked like active robots that would never get tired!), proof of me having lack of exercise. we got 2 rests in between, and we persevered. yay us!
now that I've rested for a bit, I kinda feel like my muscles are aching. tomorrow morning I will definitely be like the rusty tinman, having not oiled my hinges since forever. and oh, I forgot to mention, we didnt do any warming up because we're just too excited to start playing badminton..haha!
oh and, also, amy, mel and I are planning to go jogging at dawn tomorrow. I really hope I can wake up on time XD
