Friday

I used to love Fridays. But Fridays in the Psychiatry Department are not my fav day of the week. Although it may seem cool to most people, I wish it could be a lil more than what it is now.
Basically we’ll have our AM Passover Meeting as usual on all other days – we discuss [...]

Missed and wronged

Some junk referrals I get every now and then:
Ref: Woman in her twenties broke down and cried uncontrollably when told that her boyfriend was brain dead and all artificial life support would be removed.
What do you expect the woman to do? Laugh, dress to kill and then go celebrate at the coolest pub in town? [...]

Bless my eyes

My friends are beautiful people – good looking, fun-loving, humourous, crazy and I’m afraid, a little “violent”. We make some adjustments with our victory sign i.e. hook the pointer and middle finger inwards and then gesture as if to gouge one’s eyes out when someone gets into our nerves. Sometimes, we also make violent-sounding remarks [...]

Half a bucket

I was very much welcomed into the department of psychiatry since Day One – mainly because I’m Chinese and I can speak Mandarin plus a few touches on common dialects of the South e.g. Hokkien and Teochew (I won’t be explaining why me, a Hakka is able to speak Hokkien and Teochew but not a word of [...]

Everybody, listen!

Here’s to a really close friend who’s FINALLY STARTED TO PUT HER TALENTS INTO BLOGGING after ever so faithfully checking out other people’s blogs for the past few years!! Hehehe…
I simply love its title : I.TALK.U.LISTEN
Sounds so alpha, doesn’t it! Hehehehe…
Well, it’s time we do that anyway. Most of us in the “family” (this tight [...]

Now which is the promotional item?

I was watching the news last night and I found one of the scenes really tiring and ridiculous. It was a newsfeed on events during the launch day of a new hatchback model of a popular automobile company. The new vehicles were amazingly handsome, but they also have some unnecessary “accessories” on them – a [...]

My first call

Yesterday was my first Psychiatry call and guess what… it’s UNBELIEVABLE – technically speaking, it’s the best call I’ve ever had for the past 1 year of life in HSA JB.
I had two A&E cases
- A schizo who hits his mother, only his mother. The boy looked refined, but the mother was sobbing and pleading with [...]

Ugly duckling

Frankly, I’m really tired of the questions my colleagues, seniors, specialists and even the nurses have been asking for the past one week ever since I landed in the asylum Dept of Psychiatry.
“What are you thinking of? Are you sure psychiatry is for you?”
“Psychiatry?! You gotta be kidding me!”
“Tell me, did they force you [...]

I’m Yours

My latest favourite song… check out its adorable tune, and Jason Mraz’s captivating voice. However, it’s a pity that its lyric doesn’t really light up…
I’M YOURS (by Jason Mraz)
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you’re so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and [...]
