Family Gatherings.

30 Wednesday Dec 2009

Just got home from an extended family gathering. Happens mebbe twice a year. Once around Christmas, and once around the New Year. Sorta a yearly tradition of sorts.

Not that they’re fun things. They can be. But as most family gatherings go, the usual questions get asked, and the usual fraying of nerves occur.

This year’s is stranger than most. My third uncle has stage IV lung cancer, and has been undergoing chemotherapy for it for the last year or so. Things… seem to be under control for the moment, but… *shrugs*. It’s his birthday today, and he decided to call for the gathering at a vegetarian restaurant nearby. I notice that, by some strange stroke of luck, I’ve always been able to attend these gatherings… but I’ve always been… post-call. *sighz* Talk about Murphy’s law…

There are times I wonder exactly how much is being said about me that I don’t know about. It’s got to be a lot though, and I have no idea how flattering/acerbic/downright insulting it is.

Was on call last night. Wasn’t a particularly bad call, but some bits of it were bloody hilarious.

Long Days, Long Nights.

Which is kinda why I’m starting to have coffee cravings again.

The ironic thing?… Coffee barely works on me anymore. It sorta wakes me up a little, but it’s largely because of the diuretic effect. In other words… it keeps me up cuz it makes me wanna pee. I still feel sleepy even after I drink a few cups… *sighz*…

Kinda what I wish I was doing sometimes.

Call last night was rather interesting. We always kinda dread the days after holidays cuz the load would suddenly shoot up from cases delayed over the holiday season cuz of short staffing. To add insult to injury, there were transplants happening on Christmas day. Four of em, across three hospitals, so… you can imagine the backlog, which kinda exploded in our faces when we stepped into the theater.

It’s kinda telling when you start work at 0830h and have lunch at, like, 1530h?… or so?…

Christmas.

Not something I tend to celebrate very much, really. Not unless the people are close to me, at any rate.

Seems this one is full of… food.

Had breakfast with the parents, for starters. Haven’t been seeing them much over the last few weeks, with work being busy as all hell, so I guess today’s a good day to catch up.

Initial plans sorta fell through. Hatched was closed, as was Jones the Grocer and PS Cafe. And going all the way to Dempsey to eat at Olio seemed kinda… sad.

Thankfully Provence was open, though, after a short drive to Holland Village. Breakfast over there tends to be nice and filling, and went down pretty well, so… no complaints there. Realized that my dad’s eaten there before, but my mom hadn’t, so… turned out pretty well.

The Holiday Season.

Random Dog. Looks like Toboe from Wolf’s Rain, almost.

Initially thought things were gonna be kinda crappy today. Got to work a little late, and… the security had closed off one of the two staff carparks. At peak hour. Just so they could let the eldery old valet with osteoarthritic knees drive the cars in one by one to park in the closed off carpark. Imagine my ire. I got so pissed, I turned around and parked in the paid parking. Would prefer to spend money than vomit blood like that. And on Christmas Eve too…

Everything seemed to turn out well though. The plastics case which I initially thought would last till evening ended by… lunch. o_____o Amazing turn of speed, despite some hiccups in the morning.

Interesting Times.

First time I’ve ever finished before five. For the last two months. EVER. Pretty strange feeling, when things move smoothly and conspire to have me leave on time. I’m not used to it. Not that I don’t WANT to get used to it, but… yeah. Kinda surreal. Not complaining though.

Went over to ION and Wheelock to get some Christmas shopping done. Two Words? FRICKING CROWDED.

Catching Up.

Hung out with MA today for a bit. She’s been in the UK these past few years, and it’s nice to finally see her back in Singapore, even if it’s only for a couple of days. She’s been on a wild blitz catching up with her friends over the last one week, and she’s flying off to Malaysia tomorrow to join her parents. Packed schedule is an understatement.

Interrupted Sleep.

Not that I’m complaining. I’m happy to get ANY sleep when I’m on call nowadays…

Managed to get about… 2 hours or so of sleep total last night in between cases. Combined total, of course. Was so damn tired my fellow MO had to call me to wake me up again after I woke up to my alarm… and promptly died again. *sighz*… thankfully it was only for a few minutes.
