Post shower and shivering, I can feel the walls of my blood vessels frosting up. Weather hasn't been its very best these days, not just around the Canterbury region but nationwide as a whole. Weatherman speak of the terrible storm hitting on the North Island, power outage and swept canoes. Sigh. M looking forlornly at my heater now - my room is not very warm, but at least I can be sure that I am safe and sound under this roof, tucked underneath the comfort of my soft thick duvet tonight.

Beside the numbing cold winter, life still goes on anyway. Oh how I wish that I could push a pause button on this routine life, but I still wake up to a new day full of commitments and learning. Isnt it nice if I could jot down a coma in between the different days that fly by so fast, just so that I could rest and relax in my cozy bed a moment longer? Isnt it nice if I could put multiple dots at nighttimes like tonight just so that I could make the moment longer and streeeeeetch like an elastic band, so that tomorrow comes later than usual? And while I am at this fantasy, isn't it also nice if I could accelerate the days ahead so that I could attain my summer faster which should come with numerous exclamation marks squeals??!!

Ah. These days, it's like I just want to be a character of a story book, my own story book. The only catch is, I have to be the one autobiographing it, down to its every single detail like .. punctuations. Placing my own comas whenever I feel like I want a de-breather, jotting my own fullstops whenever I thought I have had enough, scribbling my own exclamation marks when weekends arrive with promises of fun. You know, I have always wanted to be an "author".. the only limiting factors are my own sense of responsibility and belief and conscience.



So, anyway, I am well onto the 4th week of my attachment at Princess Margaret Hospital now. Been loving this attachment so far. Mainly because I have more days that start with blank pages, awaiting me to pitch my own story. Learning become more fun and more useful when you are not too busy chasing after your packed schedule. Learning also becomes better when you have proper mentors and consultants who are not too intimidating and who actually care for your progress. Plus, the cafe's hot chocolate rocks! ;)

The only thing I am currently wailing about is that, I am having trouble writing up my long case. Sigh. Its fourth week, about one more week to go before the deadline, and I might have to change the patient that I am writing for my long case on. Argh. Valuable lesson learnt: it is not a good idea to try to write up your long case on an easily fatigue elderly patient who nodded off to sleep every few minutes. I couldnt manage to examine him at all :/ Hrm. If I managed to find the silver lining of this happening very close to my assignments' deadlines (and numerous osces next week. aiyayaya :s), I am going to frenziedly give it a triple whack with my question marks.

Ah. Life is so full of punctuations. But where the hell is my triple full stops? :s
