A New Year, A New Start, A New Blog

6pm. Its rainin heavily outside. Just got back from Sban to celebrate Awal Muharam tmrw.

Now doin Family Medicine in sem8. Have to drive up and down from Sban to Amp and PD for clinic session since KS is packed with the sem6s' doin their Family Med posting. Waste dem alot of time in the car. Oso tok alot of kok in the car, kekek.

Mornin wuz at PD. Klinik dere faces the sea, dem beautiful view, can see huge ships mooring at the extended dock, got perahu cruisin by, waves splashing lazily against rocks, waah...next time i do family med posting as MO must find klinik next to the beach. Rushed to Amp at 12pm to do medical audit project. Rainin heavily. Ate at a kampung-ish Malay roadside food stall. Jing and I got splashed with brown road puddle when a huge lorry thundered by us. Like a huge tsunami wave, couldnt do anything but stand there with mouth open as wave crashed down on and covered us with a huge load of Salmonella sp. Audit din start off well, lotsa problems encountered, revised whole audit on the spot and managed to complete 40% of my part of the auditing b4 klinik closed for the day. Shud have planned 2gether with gp members earlier. Chung learnt alot of new words 2day, i tink Adi learnt a new (Cantonese) word too. Mostly swear-words. We learnt that tsunami was a huge onani, and punani was a small onani. Whatever dat meant.

Not learnin fast enuf, onli 2-3 pts a day, previous gp managed to see 4-5 pts a day. Lecturers talk to much le, sumtimes not efficient. Every 30mins onli i jot down 1 sentence in my notes, whereas with Dr.Y, we have to do shorthand and process like mad what he just said in our minds. Usually normal class i fill up 1/4 a page. With Dr.Y, I can fill up 2 pages packed with words and diagrams in one class. So unfortunate that most lecturers cant be like Dr.Y.

Now no longer staying back at library. Find it easier to concentrate at home, can come home and shower, den nap, den wake up fresh and study. Best to target study for onli certain time period, let say 1 or 2 hours, and focus like crazy, rather than give urself 4-5 hours. U tend to waste the time inefficiently. If use Time carefully, can set aside time to enjoy...like kill monsters in Diablo and wipe out kingdoms in WarCraft, yeah! Currently Level 26 Barbarian at Act 3 edi, dem funny to watch Christabel try playing Diablo, keep on screaming everytime monster appear.

Semi-finals for band recital competition dis Sat. They wan2 select top 2 best ensembles from each category and compete with other music bands. Playin Wind Quintet and American Patrol in 2 ensembles. Worried about Wind Quintet which im in charge of, got player cannot get rhythm right, oso not sure if juniors can express and blend in together nicely. Classical piece always dem hard to express (since I dun enjoy classical piecec myself), no room for color or foot-tappin. Dats in jazz. American Patrol we first time played last Sat, ahaa...

Rain has stopped. Go for dinner now. Happy New Year to a brave 2008! Sem9 finalz in August, gambate C2/06!
