Re: Fish oil

They said fish oil can help with arthritis. I have been eating blackmores fish oil for a while now. I don't know whether they are helping me or not. My neck and shoulder has been hurting me a lot. My body is falling apart. I hope they will discover something new before I become disable.

I feel happy when I don't have neck pain anymore.

Re: Pumpkin and Lentil Curry

Kam Sau, remember the pumpkin and lentil curry I was talking about. This is what it looks like!!! I really would love to cook it. May be this weekend. I will try to make it. So even I fail, I can eat it with Taz and Ninan and I don't have to eat the disgusting curry for the whole week.

I am happy when I am about to cook a new dish!

Re: Music

Kam Sau, I found a new online music station. I now listen to it all the time. It's called ww.jazzradio.com. I found this station from Jack because he was listening to it when he was cooking. I went on it and had a look and tried a few stations. I like Paris Cafe the most. Very soothing music. It's good to play it on a sunday afternoon.

I feel happy when I can listen to the music I like.

Re: Wasting my time

I am so good at doing this now. I spent the whole day doing nothing. I was just lying in bed watching different videos on youtube. My god, I don't know how many CV letters I could have written with the amount of time I spent on youtube. How many great things I could achieve. How many books I could read through. How much money I could earn.

Starting from tomorrow, I am going to finish one application per day. I only have time till the 8 June.

I feel happy when I finish my job application.

Re: Blood Donation

This sounds terrible but one of the motivations for me to go donating blood is free food. I still remember when I first started donating blood. They have hot dogs, meat pie, milk shake, sausage rolls and hot dogs. Now they have orange juice and biscuits. Not even apple juice. Terrible. Of course, I will continue to donate blood even there is no food provided. But I do enjoy the free food available.

I feel happy when there is free food after blood donation.

Re: Enjoyment

Life is short. I shall enjoy every moment of it. Now it is the best time of my life to have enjoyment. I am a full time student with no family, no financial burden and basically nothing to worry about. However, I do have constant worries. I worry about how people think about me. I worry about whether I will find a job next year. I worry about how Kam Sau is doing in Hong Kong. I worry about my family. So many worries. I can't even sit down and do something without letting all these worries get to me. I can't think straight now. Everyday I am just burning and wasting my time. This is a bad cycle. So many worries and so little time. When is all this going to stop?

I feel happy when I don't have to worry anymore.

Re: Marathon

My first ever 1/3 marathon. My god, I can't believe how hard it was. I was in pain on the way back. By the time I finished the race, I was so glad that it was done. I didn't think I could run for any longer. My hip hurts, my knee hurts, my back hurts. It was not good. However, for most people, this is only their warm up. They will be running a full marathon the next day. So  many fit people out there. Our next aim is to run  a half marathon or another 14 km marathon this year.

I feel happy when I can complete a full marathon.

Re: Goals

My goal now is just to get a job next year. I will stop all the other activities and focus on this goal for the next few weeks. After the job application, I then need to start preparing for the job interview. It is important to have goals in life. Otherwise I will just be so lost. It is like living without a purpose, without an aim. Hopefully, I can achieve my goal this year. 

I feel happy when I can achieve my goal this year. 

Re: Brain

The human is like a blackbox. No one knows what is happening inside. The anatomy of the brain is just so complicated. After 4 years of med school, I am struggling with it. I have no idea about the anatomy of the brain. God help me with my future patients.

I feel happy when I don't have to know about the brain.

Re: Organisation

I read somewhere that organisation skills actually determine whether a person is going to succeed or not. In many levels, it makes sense. The more organise you are, the more efficient you are, the more efficient you are, the more productive you are. The more productive you are, the more likely that you will become successful. Unfortunately, it is not an easy learning task. It is more like a habit that stick with us since we were young. When I was young, I was extremely messy. I still haven't changed a bit, I left jobs half-done all the time. Often leaving out important parts. I don't know how to change it. I want to be more organised.

I feel happy when I become more organised.

Re: Memory

I wish I could remember everything. At work, my poor memory has left behind with other people. I need to check everything 5 times. Today I went to a seminar with a junior doctor. During the session, we went through some questions. She remembered them so well and was able to regurgitate them 10 minutes later. I wish I have memory like that. Fortunately, now there is mobile phone, pda and computer to help me.

I feel happy when I have good memory.

Re: Winter

Kam Sau, winter is hitting Melbourne. It was so cold in my house. Eugene came to my place yesterday. He said he thought he was in a fridge. It's so cold that he thought it was going to snow. I told him we don't need to go to the snow mountain this year. Now it's only May. In June and July, it's going to get colder. I am not sure whether we will be able to survivie that. I can't really study at night because it was so cold. The warmest place is in my bed with 2 doonas + a hoodie + socks + long pants. Very soon we don't need to plug in our fridge anymore.

I feel happy when it's so cold that I can't switch the fridge.

Re: Volunteer work

I didn't know volunteer work entails free food and wine otherwise I would have joined earlier! After the first meeting, I still don't know what I need to do as a volunteer but I am happy to continue.

I feel happy when there's free food.
