2010-01-17T05:30:00.000-08:00

school has started and i can already feel that i am not going to do well for psych and med soci. anyways, its gonna be a busy month with IHG going on cause that means we have to go down and support the matches and there has been some changes to takraw because TH exceeded their IVP cap so the sports directors are still discussing whether to rematch or not.

woke up early today thinking i had to go for NHS realising that actually i wasnt in NHS so i went back to sleep. oh wells, i mean NHS sounds so interesting! going door to door doing health screening for people, it would have been a great experience heh but the early bird catches the worm i guess! no luck this time.

i can sense the staring eyes when i came late today, 干啦!

sometimes i think that i never do enough, i think that i've let people down.

i love her songs last time and its been long since i've listened to her songs. i love the harmonica part of the song

美好的詞 / 曲: 許哲珮

我們走過一整片日落
就這樣牽著手一直走
世界沒有盡頭有我
感謝生命中美好的

兩個人分享彼此感受
全世界只有你最懂我
你的眉頭你的酒渦
是我心裡最美好的

夏末的微風吹過我領口
你還是擔心我受了寒風
輕輕暖和我冰冷的雙手

你忘了你也怕冷
卻只想到我

我們走進彼此的生活
希望能牽著手一直走
世界沒有盡頭有我
感謝生命中美好的

世界盡頭有你有我
你是生命中最好的

compassion

2009-12-19T05:33:00.000-08:00

I came across this note from a medicine student on facebook. its written by a medicine prof

COMPASSION

Sometime ago someone asked me "What is compassion?".

A good defination i found in the Wikipedia Encyclopediais"
"Compassion is a profound human emotion promted by the pain of others more rigorous than empathy.. The feeling commonly give rise to an active desire to alleiate another s suffurings."

I had my first clinical lesson on compassion when I was a 3rd year student.. First day in the clinical ward, very proud in my white overall. We reported to the Orthopaedic Ward at SGH. Prof. D Gunn left a note for us, "Go and exam the patient in bed 22 and I'l join you all in 15 minutes."

We went to the bed, and what we saw was an extremely awful looking child. He was about 5 to 6 years old but the size of a 2 year old. His face was flattened the eyes were far on the sides The limbs were distorted and deformed. We just did not know where to begin. I am ashamed to say i was scared.

In a few moments later, Prof Gunn walked in and greeted: "GOOD MORNING!" and he lifted the child into his arms and give him a peck on the cheek, as if he was the beautiful child in the world.. And the child smiled.. Yes, the child smiled.

At that moment I felt totally ashamed of myself. How can i be a doctor if I cannot see the beauty in the distorted face of a child?
When the tutorial was over, we were walking to the canteen..i realise i needed to go back. I told my friends to go on and went back to the bed of that child. I garnered all my courage and lifted the child into my arms..

..the child smiled.. The child SMILED.. A distorted but beautiful smile.

The child was so lonely and hungry for care and love. Many people were reluctant to handle him because of the abnormal features.

Today, I cannot remember the tutourial on Aperts Tetralogy. But I remember the lesson on COMPASSION - FROM A GIANT OF A MAN WHO FIND BEAUTY IN ALL PATIENTS.

Yes, we must learn from every one of our tutors, teachers, nurses, patients, and the ordinary health care worker.

The nurses and my patients have taught me many things in life. "In life one never stops learning."

Sometimes i just stand down there thinking about what i can do to help these people. I feel so helpless at times and feel so tied down when there are skills to be cleared. It forces you to become so task orientated that sometimes we neglect the basic care for them.

alright tmr pm shift. nights world.

p.s: thanks zl, let's bite tight teeth root! it will be over soon!

我羡慕那些假期能够出国的人。我也很想出国啊，因为当你身边的人都出国而只剩下自己一个人真的是很sian的。
希望朋友们都玩得快乐（：而我只好乖乖的留在这里。

一个星期的实习一转眼就过了，真的很累。每天站八个小时真的不容易，但是我觉得在这整个星期里，我没有机会练习到那些应该练习的skills。我只剩下一个星期了，还有sepak training因为IHG要到了，真的是zzz

我累了，晚安。

一朵云能载多少思念的寄托
在忽然相遇的街头
当我们擦身而过那短短一秒钟
都明白什么都变了
一转身谁能把感慨抛在脑后
在事过境迁以后
这感情就算曾经刻骨且铭心过
过去了又改变什么
地球它又公转几周了
我不难过了甚至真心希望你能幸福
当我了解你只活在记忆里头
我不恨你了甚至原谅你的残忍理由
当我了解不爱了连回忆都是负荷
浓情爱恋都已陌生了
我不难过了甚至真心希望你能幸福
当我了解你只活在记忆里头
我不恨你了甚至感谢这样不期而遇
当我从你眼中发现我已是陌生人
我已是陌生人了

我很难过。因为每当我想约表弟表妹出去看电影的时候，我的母亲大人一定会阻止我，叫我不要在organise outing了。这些话听起来真刺耳。我已经快绝望了。我就像中间人，想挽留这份亲情，可惜的是但是不是每个人珍惜这份亲情。他们大人之间的恩怨不知不觉的影响到我们。我多怀念以前的日子，一起出国，一起看戏。我多希望写封信给阿妈，告诉她我是多么的难过因为我已经跟表弟表妹慢慢的疏远了；五姨半夜起来哭因为这所谓的家，已经散了。

亲情是无价的，是用一生的血汗钱也买不回来的。那为什么大人不要好好珍惜呢。

结束十页的笔记记不住那一种感觉
桌上烦人的考题怎么算也都是无解
谁了解我救得了我

空气里有个声音偷偷说你没有用
你关心我的最近说你也有同样心情
面对这类的问题我们总是没有心力

钟声响起怎么继续
我跳不出相同逻辑
不断追着我整个学期

没有意外一直重来
也许真的还是一样的难
说过的那些话还是不明白
在谍对谍之间徘徊

没有意外又要重来
只好在图书馆找回一点浪漫
幽默的安慰着我然后笑着说
可能是
寂寞它考倒了我

这是以外我好想重来
只好在图书馆找回一点浪漫
幽默的安慰着我然后笑着说
就让我
寂寞考寂寞的过
寂寞的过
寂寞它考倒了我

结束十页的笔记寂寞还在我身边

what is love

2009-11-28T04:41:00.000-08:00

does missing the person means that u love the person?
does feeling jealous when people are nice to her means that u love the person?
does shy and not knowing what to say means that u love the person?

i think i am just very nice. i said before that if my good friend likes the same girl i like, i would definitely not fight with him for the girl cause it will probably end our friendship, that is just one of my principles and i know it also means that i dun like that girl enough but i think thats not true cause i still like the girl but i hope that she can have someone better always. but then again isnt love suppose to be selfish

so what is love, my wise ones.

4 more to go
