And so this is Christmas?

It's 24th December. What on earth am I still doing here in KT? No Christmas trees, no presents, no fancy shopping malls with artificial snow falling, no.. ok, better stop; its getting sad. And my housemate has to ask me the million dollar question: "Do you feel lonely?". Sweat.

Anyway, come to think about it, it's a good thing to strip down the commercialized version of Christmas and be able to focus on our Savior's birth. It's definitely a new experience for me, taking a break from the annual busyness of the Christmas season to just quieten down and look upon the real reason for the season. Blessed Christmas!

Paeds!

Sorry sidetracked a bit. Continuing on my series of adventures in KT, today marks the end of Paediatrics! The hospital really can be quite a depressing place, with sad and ill faces everywhere; but all of these changes the moment you step into the kids ward...

Such a big difference it makes with its bright and cheerful surroundings, with a huge Doraemon and some cartoon cat painted on the wall greeting you everyday. The sight of the infants & toddlers smiling back at you just makes your tiring day more bearable. Well, not everything is rosy and sweet though, especially when you hear the kids screaming at the sight of having needles being poked into them, and oh yeah, fancy having this guy as your lecturer?



We have a lecturer that, by the way he sarcastically responds and sometimes scolds; makes you shudder, laugh and marvel at his intelligence at the same time; much like our friend from the idiot box. So cool!
