Something fun

Now on call.

Has had a terrible time today AM. Hopefully I've done all the work required for this 24 hours within that AM and from now on I can rest in peace.

Speaking of our recent bad luck (50% anastomotic leakage in ELECTIVE colonic surgeries), I told the ward nurses that my must-have item in this Christmas is Look Yau Yip shower gel. One of the nurses suggested buying siu chu and oranges to pray for a bit of luck in our ward. Guess what, she really did that tonight! I was invited to enjoy a box of siu chu and bak tsit chicken, along with 5 oranges!!! We went crazy in the ward. Haha, that was fun.

Guess what, if I do have good luck in my coming calls, I swear I will buy siu chu and oranges and go to Tin Hau for "wan sun"! =P

Finally an update

Okay, finally an update.
After at least 2 months of complete absteinance from internet.

Talking about absteinance. I remember running into a nice NO one day at around 3pm inside a passanger lift in NDH. She smiled and asked:
"Had lunch today?"
"No, of course."
"Aha, absteined from meals?"
"Yeah, and from toilet, too."

My best friend on call is a pack of Mr Juicy orange juice - squeezable packing, fits well into my pocket; effectively prevents me from prerenal renal failure.

Time to separate colleagues from co-workers. Colleagues stand and fight together on the same frontline. Co-workers stand on the same frontline as you but fights you instead.
QEH medical pals, I miss you all!

Mum's lunch boxes are the best cooking in the world.
So are dad's oranges, definitely the sweetiest in the world.

A night's walk alone with the sky and fresh air can turn disaster into magic.

I enjoy Surgery. But I hate the lifestyle of a surgeon.

There is no need to be good to everybody. However, doing something extra may occasionally earn you extra credit, unexpectedly.

You experience love when a box of hot food was brought to you 12 o'clock in the night all the way from Kwun Tong to Sheung Shui, knowing you have been fasting for 16 hours non-stop, and you are not in a fund-raising event fasting for someone in Africa.

Must-have item for this Christmas: Look Yau Yip shower gel.
