Trekking round Arab Street

After a very painful pain round in the morning, met up with Senpai. We’d initially planned to watch Gomorra, but her sister’s getting married soon, so there were some last minute things she needed to do at Orchard Road and Arab Street.

Needless to say, movie plans got canned. *sighz* Still… the day was not a loss at all, and I had a lot more fun than expected. Even though I’m still painfully stiff from yesterday’s Wii session… /headdesk

Everyone Gets A Rainbow Sometimes…

Interesting day today.

First time I’ve seen a rainbow in ages. There’s been plenty of… interpretations of rainbows in mythology and urban folklore.

No idea what to make of it though. Was a random thing. Looked up, and there it was.

… Wonder if it’s a sign that things will be better.

Skipping Crap.

Met up with Senpai. It had been a rather interesting week. Frustrating at times, but generally ok. Senpai didn’t have it so easy, sadly, and work pressure had gotten her rather seriously steamed.

Initially planned to watch a movie, but… It’s not like there was a lot of stuff out at the moment. And when the options were New Moon [/facepalm... kira kira no Vampire ega...], Ninja Assassin [0% body fat? supposedly?] and Happy Flight [not really in the mood, no...]… we decided to give it a pass. Neither of us was in the mood for that much… lack of content. The vacuum would’ve killed whatever functional brain cells we had left in our current states…

Ah well.

Secluded Little Getaways

Went out for dinner with Hiyu and Daniel last night. Been meaning to do so for a while since Daniel got back from down under, and I figured I’d bring em to PietraSanta for dinner, and Klee for drinks after.

Always did love the fact that Portsdown Road is relatively nice and secluded and generally quiet on weekdays. Makes it a great place to kick back and just chill.

Leaving Late.

Left work at 8 today. Well, more like 8.30 given I got fed up and decided to just eat dinner in the hospital after work. I was tired, it was late, and I just didn’t feel much like wasting brain cells trying to figure out what to eat.

It’s not like I had a lot of them to begin with anyhow.

Confessions of Pain…

Not the movie, at any rate…

Doing my pain rotations at the moment. One whole week full of pain management, and self-inflicted pain. Largely from the headaches of having to deal with a pathetically inefficient computer system, and an equally haphazard filing system for case notes that has one wasting horrendous amounts of time looking for stuff.

Ah well. It could be worse.

AFA 2009… And More Besides.

Went to D2 of the Anime Festival Asia 2009, amongst other things today. Was pretty fun.

Got there earlyish, I thought, at almost 0945h, and… there was a HORRENDOUS QUEUE right outside the convention hall. Met up with Vivi to get tickets to go in, and stared enviously at people who’d already gotten tickets online, or from yesterday… Thankfully the queue moved relatively fast, so we got in in barely any time at all.

Went to look around at all the displays, and drooled especially hard at the PG Gundam display, and the Figma displays, amongst others.

Enforced Insomnia.

Call was not one of the worst I’ve ever had, but was rather spectacularly bad. Non-stop running, with a rather crappy post-partum hemorrhage that needed a level 1 infusor and massive blood transfusion, and a grotty old lady that decided to throw ECG changes as soon as we induced her… I think the only time I saw my call room was at 7-ish am in the morning where I lost consciousness – quite literally – when I leaned back against the wall while sitting on the bed… and I woke up just in time to go to hand over cases at 8.30am. *sighz*…

And right after that, even though I didn’t really have to, I attended the ICU orientation lecture series. Figured I could use the revision.

Revisitations

Strange how when even you finish work early… you still end up leaving late?… *sighz*… sometimes Fate just conspires to make sure you’re buggered, I guess…

And what makes things more horrifying is the rather… interesting conversations you end up having while doing overtime I guess…

End of An Era

Went to Funan after work today. RC’s moving. YJ’s lease on the Cineleisure unit was expiring, so he’d managed to obtain a new place to set up shop over at Funan.

The new place is nice. Rather spacious, and there’s room to chill out too, unlike the old premises, which is still rather cramped.

Still… will miss the old place… was probably where I started collecting stuff in earnest, and that place has fun memories for me, of hanging out and talking absolute crap, to getting stuff that I’d saved up for for months to get…
