An interesting day
Yesterday was the first day of Anaesthesia in CGH. But it was very weird for me manThe whole day....from beginning to end was just very funny.
1) I and Vin brought our bags to the changing room. We were finding a place to put it safely. I decided to put it ABOVE the lockers. As i did......as i placed it above...and released my grip on it....it plunged all the WAY DOWN! There was a bloody hollow up there. I was stunned for a moment. Then just to make sure and find out if I could retrieve it..I CLIMBED onto the lockers (there was space between the top and the ceiling) but the hole was too deep.
Then a doctor came in and saw what the hell I was doing. After explaining..he started laughing and asked Vin if he had a camera phone...so that a picture of me could be taken for future memories of what stupid things medical students do.
Told Shuling of the incident and she started laughing like crazy. She even said...i could have fallen in.......and would have been a stuck medical student.
In the end..during the break..i called CHG MAINTENANCE....to retrieve by bag. They fished it out using a long pole.
2) Meet Dr Tong (orthopaedics tutor who took us on friday mornings) in the changing room. He asked me if I celebrated Deepavali and I said yes. He then reprimanded me for wasting my time in the hospital and I should be at home celebrating. He even said why am I wasting my time is such a rubbish course. Really! He kept insisting that I should go home.
Bumped into him in the OT with me anaesthesia tutor. He asked me why I was still there and even told my anaesthesia tutor to let me off! Crazy fella.
3) Meet my orthopaedic examination tester in the changing room. Mr Lingaraj. He asked me, "So how did you do for orthopaedics in the end". Damn. The way he asked me felt as if my clinical test wasnt fantastic and he wanted to know if I faired better overall. Shit.
4) Meeting people in the changing room is damn weird. You talk to them as you change. Anyway..I meet Pang Jing Yin's brother in the changing room also. He recognised me after having been to his house to celebrate his sister's birthday. He is very nice and friendly. I wonder what happened to Jing Yin.
5) So was eating in my all time favourite restaurant, Alforno's, for dinner. Was whacking away with my family. I think all the exercise gone to waste. Then I saw this guy coming through the door! My god. He looked the same. He behaved the same. He walked the same. He was VASANT. Good old Vasant from VJC. Had a nice chat with him. He is in NTU, doing computer engineering. Never realised he stayed so near me. Although he acts weird alittle and people were reluctant to be associated with him in JC, thankfully I did not do the same. Will meet up with him soon.
For all the Indian readers, happy diwali.
