1 week down...3 more to go...

NNNOOOOOOO!!!

this clinical placement is so different from paeds. and for the first time since i started going for clinics, i am S.I.C.K. of it already! i guess from playing games with young kids to doing timed-up-and-go test with every single old person i see is just too big a change.

i'm sick of having to talk sense into someone older than me...sick of having to come up with problem list after problem list...sick of setting short and long term goals for every single patient...sick of walking so much cos i wanna save money...sick of it..sick sick sick SICK of it!!!!!!!!

argh..ok...whine and whinge enough liaoz. i am absolutely STUFFED with baked pasta and soup (thank you esther!! the soup was very good!!) how come i always end up cooking so much more than i intend to...then end up eating everything up and feeling like i can skip all three meals tomorrow. *bleah bleah bleah*

weather is melbourne is wthomgbloodywetandcoldanddreary. my shoes are always wet wet wet by the time i get to RMH Royal Park or back to my cosy apartment. and i have to rug up with beanie, scarf and gloves when i first set off in the morning, only to strip them off one by one cos i start to heat up. oh, and did i mention that the temperature has more or less remained no more than max 12 degrees ? i can see my breath forming even when i walk back after clinics, when the temp is supposedly higher than in the morning. *brrrr*

though i did complain about the walk earlier, i actually quite enjoy it. because JC is singing to me from my mp3 player. and as i walk through royal park, his voice sooths the pain in my foot (i've got blisters from the excessive walking), his music drowns out the traffic....and his songs add a bounce into every step i take. i try to sing along with him (if i know the lyrics to that song...), but i get too breathless. though i must say this sing-along-with-Jay walks probably can help to improve my cardiovascular endurance. *bwahahaha

today, i was walking across this field while 简单爱 was playing. and as i sing along to it...holding my 'teddy bear bear' umbrella, suddenly reminded me of Jay in the mtv for this song. he was wearing this suit and carrying an umbrella too. *grinz* of course, he looks so much more cool than me in my beanie, carrying a backpack and holding teddy-bear umbrella. but...the feeling was there. hehe.

wah kaoz. i talk so much liaoz. argh...my stomach feels far too distended. hopefully i won't get too short of breath when i lie down to sleep later.
