Revived?

5 months + since the last time i visited my decomposing blog. lol. Am I making a comeback? Hmmm maybe, maybe not. It's just that quite a lot has happened since last, erm, August (lol!), and it's my first proper quiet weekend since...since way back when...

Well, for starters, I'm more than halfway through my final year as a medical student now. (omg, reality just sank in...not much time left now). I've somehow managed to scrape through all my essential senior rotations (o&g, paeds, psych, gp, n not least, p4p!! lol) and literally yesterday was the end of my 4 weeks of medical rotation. I'll be starting my 4 weeks in acute/critical care next Monday, and am quite looking forward to it :)

I've also had my F1 job interview last Wednesday. Before that I had to apply for my deanery (Northern) via MTAS, for which I scored horribly on for the questions :P 25/50 (minus the 5 points for not having any previous degree or publications etc :P), which brought my total score to 70. Thank God I made it into the 1st quartile to start off with. Barely though. My score was just on the lowest borderline of the first quartile.

Nevertheless, I managed to get Northern, and then we proceeded to rank our trusts in the deanery. Thus the big dilemma on where to apply. Was I confident enough to try for Newcastle as my first choice, since it is quite popular and loads of really good (re: good at bullshitting talking and have loads of confidence) people were bound to apply there as their first choice? In the end, I thought, what the heck lah. Just give it a try, got nothing to lose, since I put South Tees (Middlesbrough) as my 2nd choice (i.e. backup) anyway. Don't try, don't know, right?? Plus, the experience would probably do me good anyway.

And look what happened?? Woohoo!! ^.^ Someone's really looking out for me and looking after me somewhere *^.^* I scored an F1 job in Newcastle (just found out yesterday after nervously clutching my mobile the whole morning..well, not literally lar, but you get the point), and I think the most unbelievable thing was that I was ranked 17! Unbelievably unreal!! Lol. And all this is thanks to all my fav ppl in F1 and F2 being my tips-giving angels and of course everyone else for their support!! You guys know who you are *lovely big hug for all of u*

So now I'm confirmed staying in Newcastle for the next year, with Dipak at least. Don't know if we might end up just the 2 of us in Newcastle and moving to an apartment like Edwin's (~drools~ got the professional feel to it eheheh) or just end up staying back in Kingsley if got more people :) We'll just have to wait and see!

What else has happened ah? Ooohh, I've finally turned 25!! Ripe old age of 25. Mid 20s. Yecch :P Sometimes I wish I were back in high school (but mostly when I'm reading shoujo mangas..should stop reading so much of them O.o) Had 2 lovely meals chia-ed by Dipak (crab..yummy) and my fav darling at Malmaisons! Poshy feeling hehehe. Then our house went out for dinner at Sagawa on the day itself, which was coincidentally the same day Dr Wai sat for her MRCP Part 1 exams. Results in 2 weeks time and she'll of course ace it!! ^.^


The weekend was perfect too.. Cyn came all the way over from Dublin for the wkend, and even though it was quite hectic and rushed for her, she came. Chabo, you rule lah, as the bestest friend!! >.<>

Eeps, this post is getting too long. Will continue writing more later lah. If i ever make it back here. Going to watch 'over her dead body' later...sounds like a good fun comedy!! signing out~
