5 more days then I'll be home =) I can't wait.Last night I was at my neighbour's house.She's also my tailor.She has a husband and 2 children.A 7 year old girl and a 5 year old boy.I was talking with them for about 2 hours last night.About stuff.About life and about Malaysia and India and about their 2 children.Had lots of fun talking to them.I'm going to miss them once I leave.

tuesday 07/02/06

A hot hot day today.I just got back from second day of psychiatry posting.It was a little more interesting today.We got to see a patient.He spoke English so at least we can really evaluate him and get to understand his problems better.

He was 74years old.He came in with a wide smile on his face.He introduced himslef to us and he was telling us about his family.And his friend who is in the navy.I don't know if that was real or it was all in his mind.But he was a happy lot.Before he left he blessed us and sang to us.

The ward was depressing actually.They had bars all over but after a while I learned that here in this ward there are all kinds of mental illnesses/disorders.Most patients here are under depression and they might attempt suicide any time.There was one patient I saw who showed her face on the door and was asking me to open up the door for her.She appeared normal and I first thought that she was normal.Until I realised that she was having a different tone.And immediately I had goosebumps and got scared =P

I sms my dad and told him that I'm posted in pediatric ward.He reminded me that he met my mom is psychiatry ward.Haha.It was funny how they met.My dad was doing his posting then and my mom was working there as a nurse that time =) I wonder how I'm to meet my future husband.(sigh...)

6/02/06 monday

I've completed my pediatrics posting last week.Now I'm posted in psychiatry wards.There was no patients today.A boring day in that centre.Hopefuly there will be something exciting coming up soon.I haven't yet experianced or imagine anything thrilling in this subject of clinical medicine.But quite a lot whom I know are looking forward into specializing in this stream.

Exactly 1 month from now I will soon be home!For good!God I just can't wait.I will miss Manipal for sure.It's a good place to study.It really is.It may have made me cursed a begizillion times to have chose this place but after looking back at things,I can proudly say that this place makes me be me.And I get to know myself a lot better.
