F1 Japan

What a fantastic races!

Wish I could watch the live race, but was on night..so I kinda stay up till ITV F1 race coverage at 11.30 am after coming back from work at 9.30 am. Already knew the result by then. Wish I could see what happened to Alonso when he crashes (which is a big crash, considering Alonso is not someone who make much mistakes in the last 3 races.

Fantastic drive by Hamilton (he wins because he didn't make much mistakes), Kovalainnen and Kimi duel and Coulthard attempt to defend his place. Kimi makes a lot of aquaplanning, 3 pits stop and starting from behind; what a survivor. Ferrari making veryyyyy suspicious move when Massa pitted for 4th time. I am damned sure there must team order thing in place.

Night shifts coming....

Starting nights tomorrow....7 nights then annual leave....woohoo!Really need a break from the ward.

This week has been hell; the patient turnover is so quick, I barely able to catch up with them. Its only Thursday, I am sure I have done more than 10 discharges in a ward with 17 patients capacity.Praying to God one of my patient will not go to renal failure after CT abdo contrast next week; have leave very strict instruction and renal team to review patient before and after CT. Have a feeling should he deterioriates, get infection, he might not be so lucky.He survived massive MI & ITU admission for post-op complication;memang nasib sungguh baik. No phlebotomist and am on my own. Sent shiver down my spine thinking of the weeks my colleague on leave and will be on my own again. Poor Jo has to cope when I am not around this time.

My healthcare assistant said how he is so glad he is not a doctor. Sometimes I wish I am not a doctor (when things gets tough - which means when the printer break down, cannot find the manual blood form hence have to go to other wards searching for old blood form as the printer refuse to print blood request and cannot sent the blood without form, this whole IT medical documentation things are really doing my headache; trying to chase referral etc....this is major cause of stress to me). Dealing with patient doesn't cause me this much stress.

Was talking with some of my colleagues abt cases that make you become emotional, and this sick attachment to medical profession (ie times when you hate your job but you just couldn't leave the job because somehow subconsciously you actually love your job). I remembered crying my eyes out after my first CPR experience; I actually feel guilty for activating the arrest call and couldn't get over it for few days; you have this rule if the patient has no prior DNR order or advanced directives, you resuscitate them. I have learnt to block this feeling and professionalism take over. You have to.Never let personal view to get in the way of clinical decision. Which is why I have made a rule never to treat my own family members and close friends. I can give advice but not to be the personal doctor responsible to make decision. Obviously, if someone did something terribly wrong, I will point it out to the face.


Japan race coming....Come on Hamilton! Came on Raikonnen (with terrible guilt to Mclaren)!

Spa race

Forgot to comment abt today's race - what a dull race!Apart from the Fernando - Hamilton ?duel?tyre locking at the start of the race, pretty dull for the first 4. Kubica-Kovalainen duel is a good one, but otherwise I would say pretty uneventful.

Nick Heidfield is another fav driver of mine; keep forgetting to mention him.I can feel Kubica can outshine him at BMW.

I really someone to talk to about this race, isn't it?

F1 rant

I am sooo gonna need someone to talk about this F1 race. It has been a good season despite all the turmoils.

I really really hope Lewis can win this championship; if not Lewis, I hope Raikonnen can destroy him. At least I can feel a bit of satisfaction against that Spanish dickhead arrogant Fernando Alonso. Alonso can definitely destroy McLaren, as he already did! He is not a good team player; definitely put his personal best instead of the team.

I love Mclaren and always will. Was hoping Raikonnen achieve what Mika Hakkinen did when he was in McLaren; but it didn't.Unfortunate.

My Fav driver at the moment is Lewis (well, with him being a rookie and his overtaking drive); Raikonnen, Massa (always the nice guy) and Kubica. Kovailannen and Rosberg seemed to have grown on me as well.

Mark Webber I think is one of the unluckiest in this season.

Happy ramadhan everyone!

Selamat menyambut ramadhan to all muslims; may we all have a blessed and smooth fasting month. Fasting in autumn nih...lama sket lah waktu berpuasa nye.

Internet is back,feel a bit lega.

Workwise, nothing much to report.I just hope I did a good job looking after people older than 75 years old. Thinking about it, average people age who stay in my geriatric ward is 80 to 85; obviously no one is younger than 75. About a third of patients in my ward has cancer; and significant number of them are not fit for any form of surgery/chemo/ radiotherapy. People who has stroke and staying in my next door neighbour ward (Acute Stroke Unit) is much much younger patients, a lot of them younger than 75. Interesting statistic, isn't it?

Make a lot of new girly girlfriends; which is good cos I am missing a good dose of female friends and girly things to do and the bitching!
