Call me Sue-Sue.
Call me Sue.
Just don't call me lil fry.

A 19 yr old :

Finding her niche in the passionate world of white coats and stethoscopes.

Missing Malaysian food so badly, that she drowns her sorrow by surfing food blogs.

Who watches scary movies only with friends who have high pain threshold (from all that pinching)

Who has very cold extremities, ask my stimulated patients, oops sorry, "simulated patients"

Who loves a good laugh with candid, thick-skinned friends

Who cannot stay surrounded by 4 walls for more than a few hours

Who loves her loved ones so so much

Friday's night:
Went off to Stephanie's for a night of board games.
As usual, not very lucky when it comes to dice games. But Sid takes the hands down in losing first :)

Saturday morning:
I am very full.
I don't want to sound overly conscious but I have this feeling my face is getting rounder.
And I know that for sure, I have been eating more than usual.Much more than back home anyways.
Here, I wallop the sweet goodies like blueberry muffins, the cinnamon raisin bagels, the waffles and of course, the mooncakes and lou poh peng my yi-yi sent to me. I had 2 whole mooncakes in a period of 3 days all by myself! And I snack on a lou poh peng biscuit everyday for my tea-time. Ohhhh, my sweet tooth for lotus and pastries isn't helping me very much...
I feel a tad guilty but nevertheless, my kuai lo girlfriends here remind me of the need to enjoy food and life. They're like 'I say, try all if you can't decide' and they do- they grab all and eat all of 'em.

I like that :) In addition, going out means eating more. Obviously you eat with company, that's where the fun is. Having eating out plans for almost every meal during the weekends- this can be detrimental,to my cheeks, in my case. LoL.
Ok-enough of weight whining.

I went out to the Farmer's markets this morning with Diane, a lovely classmate of mine. She is another sweet tooth lover, bringing me to all the sections with pastries. I swear, the delicious, tempting aroma swirls into your nose and lures your inner psyche to fall into temptation.

You have no idea how much I had this morning. I tried 3 kinds of cheese, smoked sausages and I had 2 waffles with icing sugar and blueberry & strawberry jam and a rich cinnamon roll and an apple given by the lady selling veggies.
All that in a period of one and a half hour! Diane was of course, no help, saying 'Come oN, you have to try this... try that... just once...' Yeah, you guessed it. I tried everything.

Next Sunday, we're going for the crepes and the omelet. Oh my, that omelet smell is still lingering in my nose- that was just absolutely divine.

Just came back from Ophthalmology session and today was such a great day :)

All the classes this morning was a total waste of time but nevertheless, t'was still a very very good day.

Here's a few interesting dialogue excerpts from today:

Jay says to me:
"Who knows? You might find a Canadian boy and have lots of Canadian babies."

I said: "Stop right there, Jay ;)"

He retorts back; "We're nice guys"
And I have to agree, "You guys are great guys"

And Laura jumps in and says, "Wait til he leaves then we'll talk ;)"

LoL. Laura says her thirteen year ol' sister is my size. She'll help me find a dress.
I'm like she's 13 and we're the same size? Hoo boy.

And in ophthalmology class today, supper was provided-to those who don't know, supper here is dinner, not the late-night mamak Malaysian supper ;)

I had 3 chocolate dessert cake tidbits and one lemon one. So yummy. I can't stress enough how good those chocolate-y desserts were..

Looks like I'm applying the Canadian eating habits very very well :)

Palliative care.
Care for the terminally ill-those with no cure for their illness.

That's what we were taught today.

Death is the expected outcome for these people. And it shouldn't be seen as failure on the part of the doctor nor the patient. We should all acknowledge that death is a part of normal life.
Doctors need to let go of the thought of curing everything. So that death can be seen as a celebration, for these patients- when they die in the best possible way they can, with dignity and comfort.

The palliative care specialist said:

These people aren't dying. They're very much living. And its the living part that matters most.

We, as doctors, should allow ourselves to be vulnerable to their emotions and experience their feelings, and not put up an emotional shield- to engage them. It keeps us human and yes, we might become attached to them and feel sad, but you feel the satisfaction from giving them your very best.

It is after all, why we love what we do.

What a wonderful, filling Thai dinner tonight :) with Anna and Normine.

They felt so weird using the spoon to eat rice. I was shocked, cos they ended up using the fork instead.
I told them about the Malaysian home style of eating with our bare hands...and their eyebrows went up in slight disgust wondering about the cleanliness of doing that.
And I had to impart the joke about the Malay culture of washing their bums after they poo with their left hand and eating with the right ;) so it's pretty clean when you think about that ;)

We plan to eat at every exotic authentic restaurant around Halifax and we've already started a list:

Next stop is the Greek restaurant. And further down that list, we've got an Ethiopian restaurant and Mexican fried ice-cream at Mexicali's Rosa...and they're going to introduce me to the very famous Canadian beer.

I'm excited at the thought of eating and trying new foods :) *claps hand in enthusiasm*

LoL. Oh, and there is this strawberry cream cheese with cinnamon raisin bagel which I must must really try ;p

Enjoy the lovely pictures :)
