post OSCE..

BIG relief...post OSCE

I cant confidently said that i did very well because i could have done better:(

But really thank God for the PEACE He has showered upon me. I have never felt so at peace throughout this exams and I know it's He who held my hands and stayed beside me throughout.
It's a peace that transcends all understanding. Words cant described....Thank You oh Father!

So, Min and KeeFong who finished OSCE 2 days earlier than the rest prepared a great dinner for us...Tom yam beehun and xiao bai chai...Nyum! Esp after a long day after our OSCE!

Min, in action:)
Seafood tom yam! SLurp...superB the 2nd main chef, KeeFong!

Xiao Bai chai and mushroom:)

End product!

Since we dun hv long holiday after OSCE, we decided to go London over the weekend, just before our 4 weeks SSC attachment starts...Woohoo...the best of British:) The 3 gurls who went down 1st:) and our 1st destination was the National History Museum^_^ (very nice ler the architecture of this building, and there are LOADS of AREAs in this museum! Very educational indeed..no wonder the Brits kids are so SMART!)the superSUPER GIANT tree trunk, so called Giant Sequoia(big tree)

Big sis+xiao mei^_^

Siti, Christina and KF joined us the 2nd day:)us @ Bond Street with the famous red buS:)

we even went to Holborn to visit the Hunterian Museum, which displays a good deal of medical texts and also offers an insight of the history and practise of the surgeons throughout the years. Abundance of skeletons and diseased organs. in short 100x bigger than our MMS in IMU:P actually my main purpose to Holborn was to get my bro's legal bands..but unfortunately, the shop is CLOSE! Too bad la koko...:(

and the last day, we went Covent Garden Market for a walk. Loads of stalls selling unique stuff

::de-STRESS::

wasSup Doc:
F.A.I.T.H does not question why when all His ways are hard to understand,

but trusts and prays.

F.E.A.R

the WORD for the past week was..F.E.A.R

fear of finals OSCE.

fear of disappointments

fear of making the correct decision

fear of giving advise

fear of ..... everything under this hot SUN.

sometimes it might be just self-induced stress

but i guess it's being Angelene.

anyway, past week was kinda stressor..

knowing finals in few weeks time, preparing that itself is scary.

to be able to talk fluently with substance

to be able to perform clinical skills impressively

to be able to explain some disease/procedure in a super simple layman term

to be able to counteract ethical issues

to be able to be a competent medical student..

all sum up to F.E.A.R of failures:(

thank you for all out there keeping me in prayers n encouraging me throughout this period

i'm alert, conscious and communicative.

Alive and well. Dun worry. It's just another exams along my road that induce my fear factor.

the reward for this week was...PAOs:) Ly and I ordered lotus pao, custard pao, char siew pao and the new discovered yummilicous polo custard bun(and the shop only sell it on Sunday!)! soft and sweet..lucky us:)

We've always wanted to try this take-away home-cooked Korean Bulgogi near our place. Went there last Sat to get one packet each. And it was so nyum nyum for a reasonable price:)

and Stephie, our 'Jamie Oliver' offered to make beef burgers for us yesterday. FROM scratch kay..she is really good la!

b4 grilling the patties: minced beef+cereal crunch+spices and MOULD them into shape!

hard work oh...can u see the HEART shape patty? So cute right?!

tadaa...the end product, top up with Lingam sweet chilli sauce...slurpie^_^

as promised mummy, my standard lunch. Sandwiches with tuna plus miso soup with long beans n lettuce...sometimes i wonder..eating too many portions of fruits and vege will bring harm or not ar? Think nowadays we can eat more than 10 portions a day!

oh well..that's about it for this week.

short and sweet

just for my dear papa n mama

missing you both LOADS!

::thankies for being so supportive in every ways::

wasSup Doc:

ME..overcoming all these F.E.A.R with joy!

By God's grace, i CAN!

phew..am back*_*

TAdaaa...am back:)

sorry for a little delayed update^_^ was busy preparing for Summer Progress test..Hmmm..

Let's see..what were the happenings last week...

Okay...my PBL group-field trip:P Yup, Dr Bannister, our firm lead was supposed to give us a teaching last Tuesday afternoon. When he came into the room, we thought he had prepared some work for us to do in the ward, but to our surprise he told us there was some sewage leakage in the ward, so we're not allowed to go in..Nvm, so maybe he was gonna to teach us in the usual meeting room then....Who knows, his subsequent suggestion surprised us!

'I'll let you choose...would you like to have an ice-cream or a cup of hot coffee?'

All of us...JAW DROPPED! We're going on a 'yum-cha' session on a Tuesday Teaching session..

Happy Jolly us...picked up our bags and...went to the Whitworth Art Gallery which is just opposite our hospital and had our hot cup of cappuccino under the scorching sun+Chit-chatting. Who said medics dun hv field trip..there you go..our field trip it is..a visit to the Art Gallery and admire the 80s paintings:P

Dr Bannister and the students:P
Doctors are not nerd all the time kay. ..we know how to admire paintings:P(not me laa, obviously)
Apparently Dr Bannister knows the paintings there inside out as he was explaining those paintings to us...we're just amazed! us, busy taking pics when our fellow mates enjoying themselves with those arts!
Random i must say...anybody out there has the similar experience? Do share with me...I still feel it's funny to visit ART GALLERY when we're supposed to have clinical teaching session:P


Dinner with Shah @ RiceThis time around, we decided to try a new Halal restaurant near our place, called RICE. Very nice ambience with quite good Asian food. PLUS, since it's newly open, they had a 20% students discount:)Lily's vermicelli with Japaneses teppanyaki chicken. Quite a reasonable portion:)

Shah's stir fried lamb with vege+rice
and my Korean bulgogi beef+egg fried rice.*_*

after dinner, we decided to go for our first ever ICE CREAM adventure @ Rush-A-way
Ferraro Roche Ice-cream on a cone..AWESOME! it's a must to try this flavour because no other shops offer this unique flavour. If u're a FR lover, u'll fall for this instantly with it's rich chocs!
from her expression, you could imagine how good this is:)

Mua and my FR, yummy ice-cream!Awww...

This week, we tried smth new for 'eat-in' dinner night:)

we had wanton fresh egg noodle with five-taste-mix chicken and omelet. Nyum..because it's been quite some time we never eat wanton noodle:) Miss those wanton noodle with char siew back home:(

Progress Test was yesterday...and it was really tough:( with loads of Obs n gynea and opthalmo stuff, which we haven't been taught. Just hope everything will turn out well:)

So after our exams, we went Red Chili for dinner as a mini celebration post exams..

Min, Siti, KF, Ly, mE and Steph:)
clockwise: Assorted meat with seafood, Braised fish, Kangkung belacan, 8 Treasure taufu. And since we're in Red Chili, the Sze Chuan lamb is always a must to order:)

and all of us had a super satisfying dinner.

2 more weeks, to my finals OSCE.

wish me 'all the best'

16 stations, 3 hours long.

'confidence'

i need.

wasSup Doc:

Fierce drives the storm, but wind and waves

within His hand are held,

And trusting His omnipotence

my fears are sweetly quelled.

in Him, i find peace
