How's life

I tried to flip the baby to supine position, he cried.
Not knowing what to do, I stuck my little finger into his mouth. It was sufficiently cleaned, I assure you.
He stopped crying.

I removed my finger, still determined to flip the baby over so I can examine his chest.
He cried again. This time the little finger trick ain't working anymore.

My second time handling babies in neonatal ICU.
Obviously I need more training.


First class.
Sometimes I wonder, if my diligence can ever come to the same level as my ego.
My clinical skills is pretty much non existent. 


My groupmates. Quite happening, eh? Picnic in sultan's garden. I'm surprised we didnt get shot, considering that we were going to steal some fruit from the garden.


Boardgame retreat with JC

Work hard, play harder. It's about time to play hard and work harder. 
But overall it's been a fruitful semester, more so since I've found my partner in crime. :)


Edit: Saw this note posted by Jison Chen on facebook. I have no idea who he is, but I see wisdom in his words.. Valuable lesson for me :) Share it with you guys-


 A不喜歡吃雞蛋,每次發了雞蛋都給B吃。剛開始B很感謝,久而久之便習慣了。習慣了,便理所當然了。於是,直到有一天,A將雞蛋給了C,B就不爽了。她忘記了這個雞蛋本來就是A的,A想給誰都可以。為此,她們大吵一架,從此絕交。

有一年,很熱的夏天,一隊人出去漂流。  

女孩的拖鞋在玩水的時候,把拖鞋掉下去了,沉底了。到岸邊的時候,全是曬的很燙的鵝卵石,他們要走很長的一段路。於是,女孩兒就向別人尋求幫忙,可是誰都只有一雙拖鞋。女孩心裏很不爽,因為她習慣了向別人求助,而只要撒嬌就會得到滿意地答覆。可是這次卻沒有。她忽然覺得這些人都不好,都見死不救。

後來,有一個男孩將自己的拖鞋給了她,然後自己赤腳在那曬得滾燙的鵝卵石上走了很久的路。還自嘲說是鐵板燒。女孩表示感謝,男孩說,你要記住,沒有誰是必須要幫你的。幫你是出於交情,不幫你是應該。女孩記住了男孩的話,自此以後學會了對施以援手的人銘記在心,並給以更大的回報。

很多時候,我們總是希望得到別人的好。

一開始,感激不盡。可是久了,便是習慣了。習慣了一個人對你的好,便認為是理所應當的。有一天不對你好了,你便覺得怨懟。其實,不是別人不好了,而是我們的要求變多了。習慣了得到,便忘記了感恩.
