did not set any goals in 2010.
since then had been working for 1 year plus now, it is time to set some serious goals and to achieve them in 2011!

1.) complete HO-ship and be a competent MO! and pray hard to get to stay in Klang valley.

2.) decide on future career path! sit down and think, and plan!
if want to specialize, choose now!
wish for some guidance along the way...

3.) start saving! save at least 10% each month!

to earn more money!

4.) to be a trustworthy person (to commit, to care)
to be a good son, brother, friend, and of course Dr.

5.) to gain muscle weight! to stay fit!

6.) to travel overseas at least once

On coming agenda

going to be ONE year since i started my Housemanship (the 16th of August 2010)...
as the saying goes - TIME FLIES.... *poof*

well well well, gotta stay focus as for now...
4 more calls before my vietnam trip with FAMILY!!! yeah~ (of course in between there are the hustles of filling in the logbook, case summary and the dreadful assessment!!!)
and another one more before i finish my current (O&G aka 3rd posting) posting


ok ok, take a deep breath, stay focus, and get it done and nailed!!!
gambate!!!

-while waiting for dinner companion in FF gym lobby, curve-

I dropped it!!!

I dropped it.
Yes, i dropped it today, an urine bag.
I dropped it, onto someone.
I dropped the urine bad, onto someone's head...

It was the last case to go for today's operation in the theatre.
Dr G, the specialist and, Dr Y another specialist and one MO were touching up on the last bit of the surgery.
Dr G requested for catheterisation of the urinary bladder towards the end.

I volunteered to prepare the catherther set.
There i went, trying to open up a plastic bag containing a new, empty urinary bag, perhaps my gym effort paid off, i tore up the plastic bag, a *POP* sound followed...

the few seconds was legendary,
all i can see was the urine bag flew out from the plastic bag away from me, high up in the air, in a projectile motion, half way across the theatre...

*doink* the bag hitted the theatre spot lights up in the ceiling,
and then *piak*... ...
... ... ... IT LANDED...
it landed on someone's head ---> my lovely specialist, Dr G who was sitting right below the spot lights, attending to the patient put in litothomy position (aka with legs spread out and with the doctor sits in between the legs)

The whole theatre went into silent and static mode for few seconds,
my heart stopped, i went expression-less(as told by my MO), still holding on the empty plastic bag...

Dr G: Chan Ern Loy, u know i am the one who is going to assess you right?

and then it bursted into laughter...

OMG...
guess everyone was too tension and stressed up for the past few days, and this unexpected foolish act of me actually enlighten everyone in the theatre >.<

MO: thanks for the good laugh, i was so stressed for the past few days until i wanna jump off the building... next time do come to operation theatre with me more often...LOL~
(omg...i swear i din expect it turned out to be a happy ending...phew~)

I sincerely apologise for the incident Dr G, lucky the urine bag is new, sterile and unused before.
(i even suggested to her to write in to reader's digest for the joke column, i must have been crazy to even say that)

ok, gonna zzz...hopefully good day n call tmr:D

Happy Mother's day

It has indeed been a very long while since the last time i wrote sthg down...
it is already past 11pm and i am oncall tmr, better make this fast :)

After the movie Ip Man2,
My mom said: ooo, this is Ip Man...now only i know, bruce lee's shifu...i was thinking how come so many wat Man wat Man movies lately...

Financial planning

4th month into my amateur working life!!!
and finally have to sit down and do some financial plannings...urgh~
car instalment, house rental, phone + internet bill, gym, petrol, toll, food, and tiny tiny expenditures!!! OMG~ never realized it can be so much in TOTAL!!! need a part time job =.= (as if i will have time for that...haha)

KL life is expensive, with so many temptations lurking around...aiks~
i set a goal for myself this week to spend less! Let's reflect back... *hand under chin, trying hard to reflect...reflect...*
CONCLUSION: yep! i think i did quite a good job! went out less at night, thanks to my never ending on calls!
Perhaps should start to cook some simple dishes at home for dinner for budget...less clubbing and drinking (or go out with rich friends and be a parasite...muahahaha~)

Next coming week, 2 calls per week, no off at all, hence should spend less, right Loy? ^.^
Till next next Mon, we shall review!

Meanwhile in ipoh!!!
Have a good weekend everyone!!!
peace out~
