trouble is a friend

it is 365th day of 2009 and i am listening to Lenka's Trouble is a Friend from my house-mate's laptop in his room next door. for the record, it is on repeat since yesterday and still counting. phew!

my dear reader, we are planning to celebrate 2010 tonight but, lots of things are still not wrapping up. will it be like last year which i'd say it was awesome? or will it turn out "lame"? and great food of course.

anyhow, my ex-college mates are here. they are dropping by, staying here for 1 night, visiting few good places here and off to Bandung tonight. even tho we were not that close before, but it's still good to have and meet people from your hometown here. it just simply makes you happy.

oh it's 8.15am and i've got to go. i will let you know how do i celebrate new year's eve!

happy partying!
(and lenka, please kindly shut up!)

still feel like a crap

what is wrong with myself. absent-minded, spaced-out and everything suddenly hit me right in my face. is it because of flu that caught me amid tons of work? or, unpleasant weather in such a way that had put me in negative mood. i truly do not know (and neither do you)

my dear reader, this is my second week of obstetric and gynecology department and i am BORED.

how i wish Ma would just pat me on the head and say, "keep your chin up my dear son"

i think this is not just plain flu fever sick whatsoever. i am homesick.

11 months to go baby. E-le-ven.

to whom it may concern

i might not be recognized as a good friend because i do not feel i am one.

but thanks God for blessing us with people like you, the "most loyal" friend on earth, in times of trouble and despair.

... i hope you like it.

Rectal touch (not again...)

Today, David and I were asked to do brief history taking on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and perform rectal touch to a sixty-year old man. Everything went fine until I started inserting my pointing finger into his anus. The old man suddenly giggled uncontrollably. Crap!

Rectal Touch

I've had my first-time experience inserting my finger into an adult man's anus in Klaten. It was a very awkward experience I tell you.

. . .

Speaking of Klaten, I've just got back from there after 1 week completing my outside rotation of surgery and I'd say it was my the most productive outside rotation that I've been to so far. :)

Anywise, to all my Hindu friends, I wish you,

A Very Happy Safe and Prosperous Deepavali!

It's not too late

Fire-crackers, ketupat waving session, scrumptious doyot's delicacies, colorful traditional costumes for 12hours, laugh-out-loud, favourite people ONLY, non-stop eating, blah blah blah...

Yes peeps, it was a great raya afterall. Sorry for all wrongdoings and,

Happy Eid ul-Fitr!

the real house

Department Six : Ready, set, shave!

The main reason that urges me now to set on specializing in dermatology is Pak Widodo, Sp KK (K). He really makes things seem so cool, interesting and sexy!

Anyhow, couldn't say much because exam is still 10 weeks ahead. For the time being, lets keep our fingers crossed!

All the while, my hands are busy with needle and thread.
