Winter Chill

It is mid- June. It has been a very cold winter. In fact winter came a bit earlier than winter itself. It has been persistently lower single digit every night & frosty early morning. The sun comes out late morning for a few hours, at least kinda giving hope to the otherwise gloomy day. Winter officially goes on until 31st August, so we have a long way to go still. Sigh...

I have about 1 month left at the Royal Eye & Ear Hospital to finish my 6-month rotation, and I already feel sad about returning back to my old hospital. Earlier this year on my last day at the old hospital, I was slightly sad on to leave before starting at the Eye & Ear. But here I have already started feeling sad to leave again. I am really enjoying my time here. Sigh.. 

We ED registrars work every other weekends. This weekend is my working weekends. Am doing arvo shift, meaning I finish at midnight. Had a short breakie with hubby & a friend, then back at home. Still sleepy coz slept late last night, and woke up early for breakie today. But it's all worth it. Kinda the last breakie before puasa Ramadhan 1436H. After that mebbie will be a few weeks after Aidilftri coz most of my friends are sitting their primary exams around that time. And at the same time this is the time for our annual work application and interview for next year. Sigh.. annoying that we have to do this every single year... never ending. 

Anyways, enuf of my winter-head ranting. Have a good & safe weekend everyone.

New Rotation, New Hospital

Okay, it's been ages since I last wrote anything. And everyone knows ni semua gara-gara malas. Nak kata busy, saja mem-busy-kan body with nonsense.

It is the new working year for doctors around Australia mostly, and definitely in Victoria. We started on 2nd Feb 2015 hari tu. As for my non-ED requirements in my ED advanced training, and since I really needed a break from ED, I am now at the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital in East Melbourne, Alhamdulillah. However, my application for the 2nd half of 2015 at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Monash Medical Centre got the silent treatment.. well, dah call banyak kali asking about the status of my application but each time they said they still looking for a full timer, instead of a 6mo registrar that I applied, so, lama-lama tu paham-paham je la memang diorang reject dah. Kalau some job recruitment usually diorang akan hantar email/ letter of rejection. Sigh... bukan rezeki la tu. Sob sob sob...

Anyways, talking about the new term, I will be at the RVEEH for 6 months until raya puasa nanti. Such a steep learning curve. Rasa macam tak tau apa-apa pasal these very specialized areas: the eye & ear. So aku banyak tengok You Tube about eye & ear especially on history taking & examinations. Rasa macam medical student balik. My colleagues with ED training background pun rasa mcm tu. Serious takut. 

The people there are very friendly and supportive. They know that the ED registrars dont know anything and they teach you very patiently, 1 small area at a time. We are probably an expert in general medical/ emergency stuff but zero in eye & ear stuff. 

So far, so good. Am not as anxious at work now. Dah buat a round of night shifts hari tu, where we ED reg cover ENT stuff, codes & the wards (dah lama tak buat kerja resident ni.. sheeshh), and the ophthalmology reg covers all the eye stuff. Scary but I went through it selamat.. Alhamdulillah. A week of nights starting wednesday night & abis wednesday a.m. the next week. Then dpt around 5-6 days off. 5 days tu sebab tak kira the wednesday yg abis nights tu. 

So I will be working next this tuesday teaching je in a.m. then seminggu arvo shift.. huhuhu... 

Beauty Deadly Sins

This is taken from one of the beauty blogs that I love so much, Musings of A Muse.
Just for fun. Jom buat ni ramai-ramai.

Each one of us must have some sort of beauty sins somewhere somehow. These are mine =)

Greed (excessive desire, esp for wealth or possessions. Tamak haloba): What’s your most expensive beauty item?
--> A perfume by Terry that I bought from Mecca Cosmetica at Myer Melbourne city. Dah charge baru perasan harga... sigh...

Wrath (vengeance. Dendam, marah): What item do you have a love/hate relationship with?
--> cant choose between a concealer or a mascara.

Gluttony (excessive oral intake. Tinggi nafsu makan minum): What brand takes up most of your collection?
--> Clinique, Urban Decay. But I have to count all that I have coz I think I have all sorts of other brands too, kinda mix & match. 

Sloth (laziness. Malas): What product do you neglect the most due to laziness?
--> facial, hair, body masks.Malas nak tunggu to remove them.

Pride (good & bad meanings. The bad one: high opinion to own's merits. Bangga diri, takbur, sombong, bongkak, berlagak): What product gives you the most confidence?
-->perfumes. 

Lust (intense desire. Nafsu): Which item is top of your beauty wish list?
--> ?botox. Hahahahahaahhaaa.. I dont even know what my wish list is at the moment. If I think I need/ want something I would just go buy them. Then regret later... sigh..

Envy (discontent of other's advantanges. Dengki): Which makeup product/look is great on others but not on you?
--> highlighter.

Happy New Year 2015

Havent written much in the past 2 years.

Anyways, just wishing everyone a happy, productive, prosperous, healthy & peaceful new year & beyond.
