completed another posting, psychiatry this time. :) i did my best to learn all that i could despite feeling 'this is not my thing at all' haha. gotta do what i have to do. i was pretty happy with my evaluation at the end of my posting, results are not yet out but i think i should be fine:) but the thing that made me happy was meeting Dr Barathy on our last day and she said to me, 'why is this not signed? hmmm but you have always been a good student, you showed interest and clerked patients' and went on to sign the few unsigned stuff in my logbook. heheee. fun ;) it's all about the big picture oh yes.
hmmm then we went to tanjung rambutan for a field trip, i gawked at the hugeness of the place but other than that it's boringgg. psychiatry showed me the ugliest facets of society and life, and made me understand a whole lot more about very very hard things, things that are really bad really cruel and really sad you wouldnt wish it on your worst enemy.. sometimes it's so overwhelming i wanted to hide, sometimes i felt like how i felt after reading a jodi picoult--broken, confused, unsure. good learning all in all.
on another note, i had alot of time to read during psych. i spent two weeks reading my medicine and was on my kindle the rest of the time, and book luck was so good, so many amazing books :)) fingers crossed may this prevails haha.
yesterday i finished Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert in one breath. :)))))))) loved loved LOVED. i was reluctant to picked it up when it was first published because of all the bad reps... geez.. the book challenges what we have all believed about marriage, this girl wrote so beautifully and on most part, she sounded extremely wise. growing up in an asian upbringing, it was like finally hearing your thoughts being echoed. ah. gonna be the book i am going to reread each year, and i never reread books. :))) thanks for writing this, Liz.
time to run!
