GP PoSTiNG + PLANET SHAKERS!!

Well...I've reached the 4th week of a 5 week rotation which u can say is kind of a holiday except when you have some practicals scheduled and this week was GP Posting Week!! Basically I have to be at the clinic for 5 days observing the general practitioner do his job...and the clinic I chose was in Ampang.. I didnt know what to expect at the beggining and so I was nervous..but it turned out pretty well...
The doctor was really eager to teach me everything he possibly could...So here are some of the things I saw..

1. Normal cases of flu and diarrhea
2. Dengue cases
3. Ultrasound of a fetus
4. Examine some patients, take BP, watch taking of blood and blood glucose test
5. Ultrasound of abdomen (saw gallbladder stones)
6. ECG
7. Learn how to do a spot diagnosis based on patient's symptoms
8. Saw an actual patient with Parkinson's
9. Saw another patient with "trigger finger"
10. Saw x-ray of a fractured scapula, glenoid process and 6th, 7th and 8th rib
11. Auscultate for "ronchi" (wheezing)
12. Saw a patient with a full blown cataract

But the highlight of my week was attending Planet Shakers concert...it was amazing just to be there, among thousands of youths filling up Sunway Convention Centre...Feeling God's presence and getting excited to praise God with music....Unspeakable joy just fills my heart....Watching youths from all over the country and even from the South East Asian Region gather together, getting excited to praise and worship God...Wow!! On the last night the hall was so full...there wasn't enough seats eventhough they had already extended the hall further...

I think the best part of all was being there together with all the MYFers...getting excited and enjoying ourselves praising God together...Just hope that this excitement for God will grow even more and more in each and everyone of us...so much that it'll touch others' lives....

IRONiNG 101

It's Deeparaya break!! Cool rite? Well...I am enjoying the week off...but somehow I couldn't stand it anymore...not doing anything at all...
I did visit the dentist finally after so long....and well...I had my routine scaling...but then, the dentist told me something I really didn't expect or want to hear...
According to her the reason my front teeth is starting to get crooked although I already did my braces...was bcoz my wisdom teeth were sleeping towards the molars...compressing them...so, she encouraged me to think about removing the 2 wisdom tooth...Gosh!! Already I'm ever so afraid of dentists...and to think that I will never have to remove anymore teeth in my entire life after having to pull 4 teeth out to do my braces...BoY!! Was I wrong...and this one's no joke...it will be painful and there'll be swelling...It's gonna be a small surgery !! But I figure I shall delay it as long as possible...Since it's not an emergency kinda thing...
Later we shopped and had lunch at Midvalley (my 2nd home)...nothing special really...bought some clothes...
When we returned home..I just couldn't stand sleeping although I was tired coz I slept late the last night..So somehow I just had the mood for ironing....
Its a good thing coz there were lots of clothes that were hanging on the rack...and my mum was already getting sick of having to iron so many clothes...
Finally I guess...I did make an effort to help with housework...and I just dont know why..but I was enjoying it...listening to the radio..and fumbling with the iron at 1st...
I was really happy when for once I did finish ironing all the clothes..so was my mum...haha!!
This was the one house chore I didnt feel sick of doing...Surprising!!=p

A MeMoRaBLe DeePaVaLi LuNcH..

Its was an unsually sunny day coz it had been raining throughout Monday...for once the sky was clear and bright...unlike the gloomy days we've been having...
Finally have the opportunity to meet up with my secondary school best friends..Pui Yong, Jasmine and Karmini...after a long time...we used to go to Karmini's house during Deepavali when we were all still in school...
Hah...it was so fun to chat with them again...although it felt pretty awkward at first..guess bcoz Karmini's college friends whom we met for the 1st time were also there...But later...once we got warmed up with each other...we chatted so long that I didnt realise it was already nearing 5pm
I had a great Deepavali lunch thanks to Karmini's mum who cooked really good food..Yummy!!
Couldn't stop muching the snacks laid on the table also..haha...
Really do miss those times we used to spend together...we can chat for hours and hours....
Well..I'm thankful that we do still keep in touch with each other...that's a good thing!!
