Half an hour wasted..

Wasted.. half an hour trying to build templates and fix some settings for this blog. In the end, i decided to let it be ;p The eyes get tired easily these days. Besides, i need them more for other things i.e reading, etc. My 2nd IA is 3 weeks away!! I'm spending less and less time updating these pages anyway so i'll leave it as it is for now.

Okay, first things first..

Oh pictures, pictures..

As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm uploading a pic of the place where i'm having my postings, so here it is (finally):


Right, so there they are..1st & 2nd is the pic of the main building, 3rd is the view of the driveway where the maternity block can also be seen (right side of the pic), the last pic is the pic of the maternity block which is situated a bit uphill compared to the main block (you could also see rose bushes which would have been beautiful if only i'd taken them during full bloom).

It's not really a big hospital. It actually started out as a maternity home founded by a group of nuns before it slowly become what it is now. There is a convent plus hostels/guest houses behind that maternity block. That's where the sisters/nuns and some nurses stay. Occasionally, they do have guests. We had a student volunteer from Germany recently and she stayed there with the sisters. Some may catch a glimpse of a building behind those tall trees on the right hand side of the last pic. Well that's the Carmelite Provincialate, which is situated next door to the hospital. In short, i find this a lovely place. Eventhough it's not as big or as busy as other hospitals especially back home, i am definitely learning a lot (which is of course provided the inexperienced, less knowledgeable person i am now ;p).

Anyway, tomorrow is a Saturday but it's also an official holiday in celebration of the Indian Independence Day (Aug 15). So I could have a good rest, yeah hehe.. I still have a lot to do though, as i said exams are coming soon huhu.. but holiday will come after that and i'll be going home!! Yes, so let's work hard now & play hard later hohoh.. Time to rev up, oh but before that, some coffee..

Rainy Day

It rained yesterday afternoon.

No clinical theory classes so I was home early and, as much as I didn't want to (cheh), had an afternoon snooze that lasted for 2 hours hahah Lazy Bum. Okay, I slept late the night before and woke up early for postings so I was sleepy by the time I reached home, can I take back that "Lazy Bum" title? ;p It's usually tempting to sleep in during rainy days..

Anyway, when was the last time I wrote something here? I don't even have time to edit the layouts or anything like that but at least I should post something right? :) maybe I am a bit reluctant to share things here lately after discovering that this blog has been exposed to more eyes than intended hahah. Yeah how odd is that, "isn't it supposed to be read?" I hear you say, or I could've made it private right? However, the time i have in my hands is allocated more for things other than updating and setting all these; so i figured, what-the-heck, let this be another public "coffee book". Am i making any sense? Not much? Oh yeah, so i may be sleepy after all. I thought i was having trouble sleeping. Thinking too much probably. I can't quite find the switch to turn all those thoughts off, or at least turn them to 'Dream' mode. So I kept myself busy. Not studying though huehue.. but I'm probably too tired to retain anything anyway.

Internal assessment will be 37 days away. I'll have to step on my "accelerator" although i may not feel up to it every time. I'm looking forward to holidays especially since I'm starting to get bored of food here and I don't appreciate it when Louis mentioned Singapore Chicken Rice when he called me today hahaha, but I know that's just a phase I'm going through. It's not as if I won't get over it and survive ;p

Rainy day - i wish it could wash away some disturbing thoughts in my head too. Wait a minute, i think it's fading away. Yes! It's not bothering me anymore. Off to sleep now. Goodnight.

Rain - please wash away my laziness too.
