Happy Morgue: Pre-posting psychotherapy

While snapping away, I was imagining myself with my new Canon Powershot S2 IS... then suddenly I thought that I should seriously consider a more compact camera, because it would be easier to bring around, but I'm so torn between the form factor and the 12x OPTICAL zoom of the S2... shit... can I have 2 new cameras? :) That's the reaosn why I should act on impulse more often or else I would embark on this endless debates and analysis in my head. My parents requested me to think it through properly, and now I really think it's a horrible idea.

So I'm starting Surgery posting tomorrow... mixed feelings... happy? Yes, cause I kind of like Surgery. Scared, definitely... it's my last posting as medical student, which also means that my professional exam is drawing near.

Just want to wish my colleagues a happy new posting! Lots and lots of luck to us yeah?

I was telling my parents that I want to step up my exercise regime a little... maybe I'll start walking to hospital/faculty as well on top of walking home... the previous arrangement was for my dad to send me in the morning and then I walk home in the evening... but I feel progress is a little slow... and I have many risk factors for IHD. My dad thought it was an excellent idea, but mum... she said I would get too sweaty and yucky for class... so I'll sleep on that thought tonight and see on which side of the bed I wake tomorrow.

Mass was awful just now... there was no band only one very old organist who played so painfully slowly... and I had this horrible bout of headache... then later I bumped into Eleanor and Fred Teng and his family... his 2 children were beautiful, Isaac and Faith, but my mum was not impressed with their unbelievable hyperactivity and high-pitched screams and laughter...

She later made me promised never to subject her and dad to taking care of my children or my sis'... so I promised her I wouldn't...

"Only the occasional nights when you have a dinner function or something... that's ok... My life expectancy would surely be halved if I have to take care of children like those..."

That's just my mum...

She continued, "You and Karen were never like them... you were both so well-behaved... always sitting quietly through mass and family dinners...."

I was beaming... silly I know, like it matters... :)

Anyways... just yakking... better stop here... want to spend these last couple of hours psyching myself for tomorrow...

Cheers everyone!

p/s: Enjoy the pctures!
