In a nutshell

Guilty as charged, i have ignored this blog yet again. Somehow i don't have the drive in me to write daily encounters as much as i did many years ago. Blame it on work, mostly, because my social life is at an advertent zero currently. It's mostly work, sleep, eat, in no particular order.

However, i did manage to slot in some pretty awesome things in between despite the busy schedule such as:

Chelsea vs Malaysia at Bukit Jalil

Dreamgirls at Istana Budaya

D's beautiful lakeside wedding

Buka puasa at Stadium

Birthdays!

Afza's Sunway Lagoon

Anisa's at Alexis Gardens

Abi's at Vin's TTDI

Sayang's surprise bday at Bidara

Lyn's suprise bday at Aliyaa

I turned 26 as well , celebrated with close friends at Tarbush in Starhill Gallery for buka puasa. Lots of good food, beautiful memories and wonderful presents! And a special present from the boyfriend in an infamous blue box ;) Couldn't have asked for more.

Will try to update less erratically from now on - but the next few weeks are looking hectic. I'm completing my housemanship soon (gasp!) and that means exams, paperwork, running errands, and of course the highly anticipated END OF HOUSEMANSHIP VACATION! Will be updating more on that soon. Everything's set into motion!

My Cina is Turning 28

I'm so excited for Jan's birthday this coming Friday! It's the first of our birthdays we'll celebrate as a couple.

I've organized a little surprise party at our poolside with a few of his close friends and family, hopefully everyone can make it and be merry. But the "surprise" part is so tricky though! Me and Jan we're together 24/7 if i'm not at work, makes the party planning part a bit difficult haha! Really need an excuse to get away, i need to go grocery shopping and get supplies (SUPPPLIIEEEEESSSSSSSSS! haha inside joke). My mama and aunty are helping with cooking the food, but i still have to get around to order and pickup stuff. I ordered this really cute cake from Raindough hopefully it will come out as i expect. So many things to do! Lets see if everything falls into place.

Fingers crossed!

We're Going DOWNTOWN ;)

Precious

Newest addition to our family, baby Hasdhiya Alisha born 1st June 2011 weighing 3.2kg. Abang's wife Kak Thiya gave birth to her via caesarean section in Ampang Puteri, same place mama gave birth to both Kaisyah and Akasah.

So tiyut! I foresee a lot of baby pampering :)

20.5 carats

2 million smackers for this baby. Some are saying it's too big, too flashy, too tacky.. BOO TO ALL OF YOU! It's friggin gorgeoussssssss... You lucky thing Miss Kim K!

Emergency!

I've just recently started my 6th and final (gasp!) posting in A&E. So far so good, but i'm still trying to get used to the new shift system. I guess after one and a half years of working 7-5 everyday and the dreaded 36hr run for on call, a 7 hour shift will take some getting used to. The longest we can go is a 17 hour stretch which is basically just 2 shifts in a row. I like it! A LOT! Haha. Green zone is fun, basically like locum at a clinic. Yellow is semi-critical, mainly patients who need head charting, BP monitoring, and any other close observation. Red zone, or resus, is where the action is. Chest pain, severe asthma attacks, trauma requiring chest tubes, CPR and all that jazz. All the MO's are so nice, the specialists are so smart and spot on! Everything is ordered stat and managed on the spot. Very different from the ward setting that i'm so used to, it's way more laid back there even in the acute cubicles.

Will definitely take some getting used to, but i definitely see myself liking it here. Good choice for final posting for shizzle!

KCL

I've started looking at prospects for my post-graduate studies. I know it's only been two years since i got my degree and started work but it's really zapping the life out of me. Slowly, but surely. Still got two more years to go to complete my compulsory services, but after that i'm not looking forward to continuing on in government service. I wanna take a break, a sabbatical more like, and continue studying. Yeah maybe i am just giving myself an excuse to not work, but there's never any harm in education, right? ;)

Been looking at colleges and courses, and i've stumbled upon the perfect combo - a one year course in Dermatology from King's college. Doesn't hurt either that the campus is in central London hehe. I've always wanted to have the experience of being abroad and living independently and since i didn't have the chance to do it as an undergraduate this is the perfect opportunity.

King's College Lodon; Guy campus

I would be doing a full term 1-year course, then who knows what i'll do from there. Maybe some short courses, maybe another diploma. We'll see. I like that i'm older now and i have more focus, i know what my priorities are and that i have more say in what I want to do. And the fact that it's two years from now is perfect so i'll be able to properly plan out everything i need ie housing, finances, etc.

Sounds like a plan, eh? :)
