Going to the Silk Road!

Sigh my SGH medicine posting has come and gone by ... well yeah apart from the grilling sessions by a certain crater-faced medical oncologist, it was fairly pleasant and the end-of-posting test went quite well, much better than those experienced in O&G and Ortho(shudders)

I am still very much undecided as to my choice of HO posting ... SGH is familiar ground but I don't particularly like the working environment v.s. TTSH -- probably I was bred in the cosy and gentle environment of Geriatric Medicine of TTSH, which gave me a superb impression of the doctors and their mild-mannered ways. My initial impression of SGH was from its surgical side, where I witnessed surgeons shouting at students right in front of patients in the clinic rooms. But oh oh caveat .. Prof London Ooi is such a nice guy.. can't generalise i guess=) Anyhow, I just hope that the MBBS will sail past smoothly (although i do know that's wishful thinking based on previous exams' experience) and I can go to the Silk Road to seek nirvana =)

My first time flying Malaysia Airlines long-haul besides the usual Singapore-Kuala Lumpur rigmarole every Chinese New Year/Qing Ming... it was the next best and cheapest option besides Royal Brunei and (urgh)China Eastern Airlines, and reviews of MAS have been raving..
