I'm back!!!

Yes, I have home internet already and the best thing is I have 5 pounds off for this month's line rental and my landline activation fee is waived!!! Yes...FOC!!! I can save 100 pounds now =)

So where did I spend? On junk, wait, not exactly junk but important vital fattening junk stuff like this 50% discounted Ben & Jerry Ice-cream!!

Normally it's 4.49 pounds and now it's 2.24 pounds and its almost the same price as US price. Come on, tell me this is so worth it!!! Hence I bought 2 tubs. Previous promotion was Haagen Dazs ice cream, also 50% discount and I already finish 1pint (500ml) in 2 days (have another one in my freezer). Ya, call me FAT, I don't freaking CARE =P

I am extremely tired because I have been walking from 9am to 5pm. Yes, 7 hours on the road (minus 1 hour because had lunch at Nandos which cost me 7.42pounds, around RM36 but I was stuffed so it was also worth it) because I had to walked to town twice to settle my council tax thingy.

Having throbbing headache which I blame it on the wind and dehydration.

Ok, I shall make full use of my internet and watch DRAMAsssss!!! Hehehe, bringing laptop to my king size bed, lying under my duvet (a soft flat bag which contains down or feather and acts as blanket) and relax.

This reminds me of the movie which I watched last night, 'The Day After Tomorrow' (I know it's old) and one of the 1st few to die are the royals from Scotland when they were flying from the Balmoral Castle. Wow, if the ice age thing is happening, I'm sure I'll be the 1st few to die since I am so way up North. Right, should not go into such gloomy scenario since it's 8pm and it's still so sunny. Light up Jene!

Right, back to the plan of bed + laptop + drama =)

Enjoy~~

Random Irish Guy...

I went to Edinburgh to meet Thama and to visit Edinburgh so on Saturday, we were walking on the street when suddenly a tall big guy just came up to me, HUGGED me then suddenly he bend down and CARRIED me!!!! I was shock and my other 3 friends just stood and watched and even managed to snap picture =.="'

He carried me away from my friends and to another corner then suddenly cradled me and asked me where am I from etc.....

SCARY

update

Hello, typing this from the computer lab in uni.

So far so good, standard answer for all those who ask me how am I.

Love the house, will be alone for this month. My housemate will join me by August.

Today is the last day for my block then I'll be having 2 weeks break where I'll seriously switch on my study mode. Feel so stupid recently because when I see something, I know I should know but my brain goes blank =(

Later going to Edinburgh to meet Thamarai for the weekend and my landlady is gonna fix up the curtains at the kitchen for me =)

Yup, so far so good... =)

Having my formative assessment in a form of presentation in another 3 hours...sien...

I SCRUBBED IN!!!

Yesterday was my last day for GI Surgery and I ended it with a bang!!

Morning, the surgeon tutor didn't ask me a lot of questions. He targeted another local because most of the questions were their history. I know, funny that we are having tutorials on surgical stuff, he went and talked about the British PM. Well, it was related coz it was bout him having a cholecystectomy and the complication he went through. The funny part was when he asked the locals bout this PM, he looked at me and say "ah, you won't know this" LOL!!!!

Then went for ward round and got to know one of the registra is doing a subtotal colectomy (removal of large colon) so I was 'CAN I TAG YOU?!!'. Well I was kinda close to him and he was kinda funny and friendly so I was not having the speak-formally-to-him attitude. LOL

Anyway, went to theater and kinda got lost because he said it was either theater 9 or 12 and I didn't see him in any of the 2! So I was contemplating whether to leave and go back wards or stay then I saw one of the other registra who is from my ward so I quickly asked him and he say he's heading to it now so I followed.

There is this other girl who is in ward 32 but don't know why in MY Ward 31 and there she was in the theater. Stood beside her and then the registra asked "I need a medical student to scrub in" so I just went quickly and just realised I don't know the real procedure to scrub in so I just followed the girl who came in later blindly LOL..

Anyway, the surgeon came in and he was like 'ah, 2 medical student scrubbing in?' OK, You (me) stand here (in between the patient's legs) and you (that girl) beside the registra. 'Jene, Come closer, touch the patient!!' said the surgeon and I was really REALLY close!! So I got to see everything done in front of me!!!!! I saw how the registra cut the layers of skin and fats and finally saw the small intestine peristalsis-ing and then they started searching for the large colon and......

Just to cut the long story short, I got to push the small intestines to one side while they searched for the splenic flexure, then retract the patient's skin while they searched for the rectum and finally hold the resected large colon. It was squishy and filled with feces (can feel like got mass in it and can see it was dark colour through the mucosa of the large colon). It was just the way to end my GI Surgery block!

Went into the theater room dry and clean and after the surgery, wet and red with blood LOL!!!

Next went for tutorials (late for 1 hour LOL) and did my last IV Cannula before I left.

(just found out that I left my notebook (full with notes) and my OHCM at the ward. Hope it won't get lost!!)

Going to move to my new house in another 4 hours and I won't have internet for the next 4-5 weeks =(

So byeeeee.....

Not I perasan!!

Seriously, today was just too obvious.

The surgeon kept asking questions and ALWAYS point at me expecting me to answer. Even though my head was down looking at my paper, busy jotting down notes, he'll make some noise to attract my attention and ask me the question.

Even the girl who was sitting beside me realised too!!

Jeez....

**********************************

It's summer and it's cold, wet and damp. Everyday, it's drizzling or sprinkling. Today's rain was quite heavy and the wind was horrible!! My whole anterior part of my pants were soaked and I was feeling so cold!!

Grrr.....
