stolen colours

Today we went back for a final morning of orientation lectures and an insurance talk. Our last day as students. I made sure I my face was unobscured for the class photo because I wasn’t in the previous one.

“Take care.”
“Thank you.”

The gesture was much appreciated. (J later said, “That was the most loaded ‘take care’ ever.)

And thank you to all those who’ve helped me up till now. I couldn’t have come out of it without you all.

So I met up with AA and mosquitogal last Sunday for lunch at Marmalade Pantry. Great food, great company, and depressing talk.

I’m back from the Mayday concert and not ready to go to bed yet, so I’ll spend one of my last late nights blogging about Mayday.

So we had a communication workshop yesterday. One of the more interesting activities was this: sit back to back with a partner; one describes a complex diagram, and the other draws it out without getting to take a look.

I paired up with J, who said in characteristic ungentlemanly manner, “you describe, I have a sore throat.” Some things haven’t changed since year 1 -_-

And J got everything that I managed to describe within the time limit! Because we both know what a trapezium is XD. Just one discrepancy: I said ‘Draw a cross in the circle” and he did the X-Men cross.

Happy things that happened today:
1) I found someone who likes ReBoot.
2) I drove Father’s car in the morning.

It’s beginning to get just a little more like a bad dream now, but the emptiness just keeps gnawing away at me. I wish I didn’t have so many little voices within myself.

P.S. I suspect that the tulip is my new favourite flower, closed and compact; not like open lilies and orchids that sprawl all over.

Today was my first day as a HO-in-training in SeeGeeH. It’s a welcoming place, but the one thing I hated as a student were the claustrophobically low ceilings in the wards. Nothing much happened today; just computer training, and a long lunch break at Eighteen Chefs. (Saw the M3s there too. Tsk.)

I had my third-year surgery posting and both fourth- and fifth-year orthopaedics postings here. It’s the hospital that I’ve spent the greatest amount of time at, after AnnYouH. In terms of significant postings (where people actually turned up daily), it probably trumps AnnYouH. I drove home today listening to D’espairsRay and found my subconscious making the right turns: down the road past Simei MRT, on to Upper Changi Road East – but no need to keep left this time! – and on to TPE.

Of all the hospitals, it JUST had to be this one.
