Chain

Chain, chain, chain...of thoughts

I wrote a really long post about mum, god, uzi, fainting spells and a whole train of crap yesterday. At the crucial moment, my computer hanged. It was probably due to an incoming call and the call was most definitely from Auntie Rach. When will this woman give up? Such haunting really freaks me out. Sometimes, i even watch tv at zero volume, in fear that she (or anybody else for that matter) comes knocking on my front door, demanding that i open up.

To summarise my previous post into a 'few words':
1)I believe that a telepathic connection exists between a mother and her child. A bond so strong even Heaven and Earth cannot separate.
2)The crispness of a Spring morning feels like a promise of Hope from God.
3)I fainted in the operating theatre just 2 days ago (having starved for 24 hours without even knowing it). Thank God 2 nurses caught me in the nick of time. It was pretty embarrasing having everyone fussing around me - putting moist towels on my forehead, propping my head and legs up and fanning me. Worst thing, everyone in the hospital knew about it 5 minutes later.
4)Uzi - one of my patients and a little ratbag that i grew to love. We call her "Houdini" because no matter how we tried, we could never stop her from chewing up her bandage. She sustained horrible wounds from a dog fight and everytime she chewed her bandage up, i had to clean and flush those laceration and gashes for her (which i imagine would be a really painful thing). Funny thing is, she would just lay there and wag her tail as if she enjoyed it. I gathered she was probably one of those needy dogs that needed lots of attention, so i gave her whatever she wanted - lots of cuddles, special treats during dinner, long walks etc. Now that i'm moving on to my next rotation, i'll definitely miss her.

I'm so glad today is self-paced learning day, but i still spent the whole day in uni working through a whole list of dental problems. To tell the truth, dentistry is definitely not my forte and after 2 hours of staring at pictures of bad teeth, i felt like i could just lie down on the floor and die. I'm serious. Just lie down and die. Being a veterinary dentist is the last thing in the world i'll ever be.

Anyway, the reason why i take so long to reply mails is because i can't reply my yahoo mails from home for some reason. So yeah, forgive me (I've just replied some overdue mails today). No Peng, haven't replied your mail yet. Hehe. And Gwenda, i think i lost your mail, so drop me another one when you're free yah?

I've officially booked my ticket back to Singapore for my SA externship. 26 days more to go and i'll be ready for sweaty Singapore! Oh, and Zoe reminded me that at the end of the year when i book my ticket back home, i should choose the title "Dr" instead of the usual "Miss". Haha, cheeky gal!

To be honest, it's hard to believe that the dream i've held on to for the past 20 years is finally coming true.
