Boat that was steamiing..

Steamboat'eee!
To mark and celebrate the end of our 4 week introductory posting in Royal Hospital!
It was absolutely fun and beneficial, and also it was sooo relaxing.

And now, we have to officially join the 3rd year medical students here, no more slacking, like back in IMU. but still not as stressful as back in Seremban. hee.

We had the chicken soup Pot ! -------------------->>>
for those who cannot take spicy food..

<<------And the Kimchi soup pot !!!
which was actually not that spicy after all...

and Troy's weird face! haha.

Red shirt guy. His name is Jody. He is our 5th year senior here, always making people laugh with his non-stop talking mouth. haha! i'm so baadd...erm, There was another guy, also a 5th year, his name is Shawn. but he is not in any picture, none, so sad...:(

Troy,Gaik Min who is resiting 3rd year, Sharmaine, Stephanie, Ching, and AI Ai.


10 people came. but we bought food for only 8 people. so obviously, there is too little food right?
to our surprise, there were too much!! we were all complaining that we were too full, till our stomachs were gonna 'pau cha' soon! sorry for the language.;p

and we decided to cook the left overs for the next day's dinner...
we cooked 'mai fan' the next day..hehe. nyamnyam! enough to feed 7 people somemore. lol.

Today was my first day in Walton Hospital. The first 1 hour, Stephanie and I had to clerk a patient, taking her history and doing relevant examination on her. This patient that we did just finished a surgery, called Transphenoidal Excision Surgery. This surgery was to remove her pituitary Macroadenoma, which was compressing on her optic chiasma. And obviously, she had vision problems. Her vision field was very small, and it is called a Bitemporal Hemianopia. I studied all these already!! so it was quite interesting for me to see a real case.
I had no confident on presenting this case though, so Steph presented it.

After that we had this 1 hour case discussion with a neurologist specialist. which was great..!
talked about Coma and Acute Severe Headache. There were only 4 people in that class. I got to answer the anatomy questions, was quite proud of myself. haha. Studying last night actually helped me alot!

We had lunch. I sat with these bunch of people. But felt abit weird, like i couldn't really talk. Until Stephanie asked me why was i so quiet. lol. it just seems different la, not talking to Malaysians. :(
hopefully i can blend in better soon.....

ok lah.
bye.
tired.

The Last weekend..

Thanks Daniel for treating all of us Dimsum! :)

One of the Super Lamb Banana's at Hope Street..

There is 125 of these statues around Liverpool.. all around... tourist or maybe students tend to take pictures of all 125 of them.. just for satisfaction that they have been the whole Liverpool.

And we went to this Hope street festival, where there were stalls selling food, and they provide samples for us to try, and being a Malaysian, we just eat the sample lah!

and also there was a tukang tilik, and really really weird stuff around.. also performances from girls with skirts, who kept on showing their panties.. =.=

And we had fun dancing in an Irish dance!!!

No picture of me:( i was in the front, but u can see Troy here.:) can see?

Ching.

Daniel's b'day 20,21st Sept

We had TWO surprises for Daniel on the same day... Saturday - at 12am and the other during lunch hour!

We had to bake the chocolate sponge cake twice.. cause Aaron was afraid his cake might not be successful on his first attempt. So Thurs and Friday night, two nights in a row... Aaron, Sharmaine, Troy and Victor did their best for the bestest lovely chocolate cake. =)

It tasted really goood! nyamnyam! I probably dont wanna have the credit of making the cake, cos i think i just sat there staring at them :P

Yeah oh well.. Daniel was'nt really surprised by the first one lah.. cause ( someone went to the bank without his wallet and also left the chocolate sponge recipe web on his laptop) , and daniel came to check in his room. Lmao.

Nevermind.

Aaron happy with his cake! How sweet, to make a cake for his good friend, Anis.

and the cake tasted great.. it did!

21st Anis sitis =.= with balloons at the sides, so called sperms la..

Budak-budak skrang.. ish..

Neh! Daniel! So touched by Aaron making such a lovely cake. hee. Poor Joanne, had to act like she was drunk, so that Daniel stays in his room before we came.. lol. She was so loud. I thought she was really high, hyped up untill gila dy.

And Daniel's shirt seems to be sparkling in every camera shot!

Daniel's shirt is sparkling again again!

Memang birthday boy being blessed:)

Cutey Joanne, pretty Me and sexy Sharm..:P

Aku dan Troy, budak ni.. aiyo macam small kid saja.. aiyoyo.

The next morning, another surprise, this time we had Sharmaine to ask Daniel out to "bersiar-siar'' ... bersiar-siar, so that we have some reason to get him out of his flat!

Daniel must be cursing Sharmaine for wanting him to bring us out.. haha.

and we went to a park at Everton.

Everton park? Noone knows whats the park's name ..

but we just went for a walk and took pictures:)

Aku dan Sharmaine

Don't know what they were doin, guess they were posing?

But just when i zoomed nearer, they did'nt pose.... =.=

Aaron's syok..

Troy still wearing his short pants, Dan the birthday boy, Ching, Sharmaine who loves PINK, and Victor loving his botakness..

Ok, this scene is... after Aaron inviting troy to roll down this field.. Troy went on to roll, but his shirt was white, so he had to exchange shirt with Daniel;p and so.... after rolling down...

Troy : " aiyoo... my head damn pain laa.. dizzy!! how to roll one u all?? crazy ar?''

Haha he is damn cute la. Like small boy..:P

Today i had to take a history...
this patient was diagnosed with Rheumatoid athritis this year..
He has swelling wrist, knuckles, ankles and knee.. and it is painful..
He can't walk far, he can't put on his own socks, he can't even eat with his spoon and fork..
he said he had to depend on his wife every moment...
his wife was there when we took the history. she was so nice, in fact i can see the love from her eyes , and care for her husband..
sigh.. such a nice couple..
i hope he gets well from his physiotherapy.

After takin the history,
i teared a little..
:(

Till now..

1. A patient in the ward told the other patient saying i look like a small girl. Mr Steven Huges told me he heard them saying.
2. I drew blood from a black man, and i felt so happy and satisfied. It was my first blood drawn from a real patient:)
3. It was my first time taking ECG too, connecting the leads to the limbs and chest. It was quite easy, although the man was quite hairy. hah!
4. I went to Circus Casino to play Mahjong. :P dont worry, it was a fine and pleasant casino..
5. Currently, I'm watching "So you think u can dance Season 4'' The dancers are so amazing..
and ''Pride'' , a japanese series about ice hockey and love..

Cheers.

It was our turn to treat them for dinner. We made Spaghetti Bolognese. Well, it's the easiest dish for a whole lot of people. and to be honest, it's fun to cook. :) hehe.
Sharmaine and Troy was the main cook actually. I just sat there this time, chopping, chopchopchop...

A group pic again as usual. This time, at our place!

(Joanne, Troy, Avier, Victor, Sharmaine, Claud, Aaron, Daniel and I)

Just some dishes we cooked these past few days.

Herbal chicken, vege, and omelette with mushrooms and minced beef and onions.

NYAM!

Nah, it's not herbal chicken. It's chicken with soya and oyster sauce.;p

the gravy is not so black right.. hmm..

Troy cooked Brocolli and Golden mushrooms, which both are my favourite..

and i cooked the Fried chicken!, which was dumped in flour before the egg. and it tasted super delicious! YAY! like KFC.:P Don't judge the picture ya..

Cheers,

Ching.

Our first meal.

Scrambled eggs, Brahim chicken and daging, and vege.

Just nice!

I cooked this!.

They said its 'tawar' :( but for me. its okay! maybe im so used to havin little salt in my dishes at home..
