Back!

For the first time in the 3/4 yr of working life, i spent 2 wks away from work. Took a wonderful break beyond the shores of Sillypore, and returned feeling more wrecked up cos of the bootifully screwed up bio clock, and slight withdrawal symptoms from the totally “no fighting” atmosphere you get when you’re just not standing on our island.

feeling estranged somewhat. a bit worried abt starting work tmr cos i’ve been totally awake for the past 2 nights. falling aslp at 8am and waking up at 3pm. definitely not gg to do gd for me tmr. I’m not gg to hope for the tough cases to not come tmr bcos everytime i do that, its like i’m doomed for toxicity to happen. so, well, let your horse come, as what many would say.

2 more wks before i break free from the shift work scheduling. not forever, but till the end of may at least. i think i might welcome this office hours thingy. at least sat nights out will definitely be happening. hahaha

p.s if anyone do see the dvd or vcd or ost of p.s. I love you anywhere, pls let me know. and if i havn’t pyscho-ed you into watching tat show, Watch it NOW. Its like the best girlie show ever. moving plot, great music, hot irish guys. the essentials of a best chick flick.

wish me luck for work tmr~ =D

and anyone interested in doing NLP course? lemme know~ details of travel in time to come, when i get my hands on the peektures.

the wonderful world of xrays

I just couldn’t help it. Its an occupational thing. hah.

All peektures here are just a couple from the whole group that were taken from Time Magazine website, which i thought was more interesting.  Click here to see the whole lot.

Made for Walking
This image illustrates how a woman’s shoe (left) contorts the bones of the foot and ankle and throws the weight onto the big toe joint, while a man’s boot leaves the foot in a natural position.

The cause for the increase in Weightbearing AP Bilateral Foot xrays - stilletto heels for females, our familiar friend, the hallus valgus. what to do, need to be pretty. ai mei bu yao ming.

Take Flight
A Boeing 777 jet is serviced in a hangar at Logan Airport, Boston. Over 500 separate x-rays were scanned and re-assembled to make the complete image.

woah, how’s this for a long film. you can even see this chaokeng staff, most probably the pilot, reading the papers on the cockpit?


Out of the Game
This football player, complete with protection, is about to receive treatment on the physiotherapist’s bench.

This peekture is in, solely because of personal interest. hahah

Office Life
Over 100 separate x-rays make up this picture. Don’t miss the guy on the bottom floor tackling a broken photocopier.

The photographer should have done one for the hospital. You never know what you’ll see happening in the oncall rooms of the drs. teeheehee.

ok eos.

i work with sick sick pple

yes, i am working with patients in the hospital. but by the title i meant my fellow *ahem quite perverted *ahem colleagues. all over a tube of chocolates that i offered them.

first of all, i offered them to joe, which he received with raised eyebrows, but didnt say anything. and teddy, and khoo, and our phototechs.

then, i passed it on to michael. who burst out laughing when he saw it.

“what?” i said.

“er, don’t you think it looks like something?”

“like what?”

“something very functional for females?” proceeds to snigger somemore.

“someone from australia huh, so happening. dunno what you do over there,” he went on, shaking his head.

Men. are. just. so. ……………..

Michael then asked me to offer it to Prof, which i refused. i mean, how to offer after your chocolates were associated with functional products. *snorts. he then grabbed the chocolates and asked prof whether he would like some.

“Prof, does this remind you of something else?” Michael said.

Prof gave a puzzled smile.

“you are seriously a pervert, michael.” I couldn’t help it.

and prof burst out laughing and directed THAT look at me.

“eh, not my fault hor. u’re the one who brought it here.”

“what the.” and i grabbed the tub-ish thingy and went out of the room.

after that, Prof came over to the printer at the counter to collect some papers. and he gave me That look again, ” now everytime i see you, i get reminded of that.”

“ERASE from your memory, everything that happened 20min ago!!!” i screamed.

and he walked away back to the MRI room laughing.

Oh man. this is not good.

of cocktail glasses and precious china

On a super last minute notice, I was dragged to attend some formal dinner thingy at Legends with Marvin for SSR because Hweetiang is down with pneumonia, leaving her out of action for a couple of weeks. so untimely, when we have loads of work to clear for SSR.

on the car ride to legends, marvin and i were clueless as to what we were heading for. It was quite nerve-wrecking seeing that we had no idea wat the dinner was about, what time it will end, or what kind of crowd we were expecting. According to mic, we had to be there, and just mingle at the cocktail reception before the dinner. Just the thing i always try to avoid becos i’m just not a conversation carrier and mingling has never been something i enjoyed particularly.  furthermore, i had to make do with just 3 hrs of slp post-night shift and  had to come in late for today’s night shift.

the crowd that was there turned out to be either the presidents of other societies, the chairpersons or the managers etc. while us 2 small fries stood there, trying to fit in, not to screw things up too badly. we probably brought the average age of the participants down by 10-20 years. but, the bigshots were surprisingly amiable, and quite polite to the both of us, which i was very much thankful for. no wonder they can make it to where they are now…

even though it was a stressful event, there were a couple of people that made the atmosphere of the whole event really hearty and light. it was a joy listening to stories about the things they did when they were young, and they once again prove that dedication and passion can really bring you further than your peers. even though it was slightly out of my comfort zone, i was still glad that we went for the event because i kind of feel inspired in a certain sense. =)

but the sense of relief was still over-whelming, when we got into marvin’s car. we sat for a second in silence and turned to each other and said at the same time.

“We survived!” *inserts horrendous laughter, before driving off to start my night shift.
