been learning how to deal with the tricky affair of human dynamics lately. and i realise that Patience goes a long way. hopefully the prideful side of me will not flare up in the most undignified manner possible anytime soon.
the second week in my orthopedics posting and i have to say i ain't got a clue regarding the approach and important stuff to read up on. except that my obvious lack in anatomical knowledge has appalled even myself, let alone the impatient, brash, gregarious orthopedic surgeons who seem to expect us to know everything beforehand. (and i thought i was here to learn?) not to mention yet another doctor laughing in our faces when we naively proclaimed our desire to serve Mankind in our chosen profession.
"no future la you all. better go do something else now before it's too late."
"help people? GUFFAWS. snigger snigger"
it's amazing what the world can do to most people. the cliches, you know, jaded cynicism and giving up of silly utopian dreams for more realistic gains etc etc. but perhaps there are still some who choose to be fools in a world such as this - where business students are thought to be the smarter ones cos they will be earning the big bucks and playing golf while us doctors earn miserable paychecks for endless hours of cheap hard labour.
all i can say is a man who builds treasures for himself on this earth will never be able to add an ounce of worth to himself. if chasing money justifies your existence, then i shall step aside as you climb the social ladder.
fools are never understood and often mocked at, but at least they are a rarity.

anyway, weddings are coming up and i've got nothing to wear. why is black banned at a christian wedding? i don't get it. aren't we supposed to be less pantang.. i don't know.
it's been over a week since i last stepped into the gym. liberating, but also worrying at the same time. i'd hate to see my butt expanding to its former glory in the near future. but there's just this Inertia thing that's telling my legs not to move and opt for the easier workout of brain exercise instead. meaning the tonnes of reading up to do (about 4 hours worth every day) for this insane posting that starts from 8 and ends at 5 if i'm lucky.
e.g. i stood on my heels for the entire day today, only sitting down during lunchtime. my little toes are like german sausages now from all the edema.
i'm tired. but it's time to go and study.
