lamentations of an asshole (pronounced as Taufik)

dance competition over and we're in the semis. today's was at amk and next week's semis are over at tiong bahru plaza there i think. can go check it out 20.05.2006 @ 730pm or so. i am proud to be dancing side by side with my girlfriend who i'm proud to say is one heck of a damn good dancer(Dan from so you think you can dance would describe it as 'bad-ass'- i have to agree!)! yes for those there supporting us, thanks! and looks like we have tough competition up ahead, still tryin to identify or working styles and dance identity, though i think it's gonna take a whole lot of time, maybe even after the comp ends but that's fine by me! i have a huge problem working with difficult people and i know most times i am the most difficult one in the group,keep antagonising everyone in a crew and slamming ideas and being critical yet i myself am fickle and stuff. ok i admit not being a good dancer, have a poor working attitude and have problems communicating in a civilised manner, and sometimes i try to be good and sometimes i just can't(well more like most times) but it's true what my gf said, that i have to find a way to communicate such that i get my point across without offending anyone and without an imposing tone( or sarcastic or bitchy or the you're-hopeless tone)....i'm trying ok dear.... thanks....
ok now that aside finally i've been spending some time with my sec sch friends lately and been catching up on the same old stuff. they're gg redang this end of june, obviously leaving me out (i start final yr MED then-shit! and i still don't know how to manage diarrhea..ok i'm kidding la...i;m not so slack ok!) but i let them have their fun. besides 12 people maybe too big for me...i have poor working team attitude remember? and really if someone has an idea how i can help myself be a little bit more patient in my daily undertakings and basically everything i do, pls drop me a msg...
i'm currently elective-ing at cgh a&e, pls day hi if u're there, no need to if u're in the resuscitation room cause i'd have to get you alive first..ok lame...but yes seen several morbidities and mortality at the emd..medicine is an eye opener to a spectrum of social, financial and (duh! medical) ills and there's so much to learn just by observing and talking to people. which i guess why history taking is so much emphasised in medicine. 88% of the time u can diagnose a condition just by asking questions w/o even touching the patient (ok trivia!!).still have reports to do for neurology elective and 4 short (2medical and 2surgical cases) cases to give to my supervisor. well today as least i learned that ciprofloxacin can be given for people with traveler's diarrhea and for kids(<18 yo) give them bactrim...and to be wary of kids and elderly that present with nausea vomiting diarrhea with abdominal pain, that some more sinister pathological process maybe happening eg acute appendicitis or ischeamic colitis....
ok before i sleep may i extend my sincere apologise to the citizens of the world for having angered, insinuated, sinistered, manipulated, sarcasticated, insulted or giving you a piece of my mind in a manner deemed inappropriate, i truly am.

p.s. i think i have ulnar nerve entrapment syndrome....shucks my forearm hurts like mad...bilaterally....any physiotherapist around? i need elbow braces!! cheap cheap ones!
