Man, it's been awhile.

I've just been going through life's routine, trying to keep everything going, and before i know it, one month has stolen away into the abyss of the past, forever lost. Just the mundanities of daily life are enough to occupy much of my time, until I barely have any left for other stuff, such as updating my blog. It frustrates me that those who do visit my blog(I dare not think of the numbers) have to contend themselves with old entries while they wait indefinitely for my new one. But I can only work within the limitations of the time given and the things I have to do.

Okay, poor attempt at an excuse for not regularly updating. It's a busy life, but I do still have some time to myself, and as much as I like writing, the thought of thinking up stuff to write that is interesting enough for people to take a minute to read is a bit daunting, and almost resembles work. Anyway, here I am again, and let's start with some updates.

I'm on leave currently, all the way till end of next week. Well-deserved, if I may say so myself. Got some activities lined up for my family, especially for my baby. She's gotta see the world, right? But I got to remember to rest too, seeing as my next break is probably going to be the end of the year.

My baby is getting cuter and cuter. I know, I know I'm not posting enough pics. I'm getting there, don't worry. She's smiling and laughing now, which is a sure cure for fatigue and depression. For me and my wife anyway. She still cries a lot, but that's okay. We tell ourselves, babies do that.

My wife's birthday is coming up. Planning to pamper her by giving her free rein for a day to do some shopping, her and about 3 billion other women's favourite pasttime. She knows our financial status, and she's the most sensible woman I ever know, so I think I'm safe from the likelihood of bankruptcy after that one day of no-holds-barred shopping.....uh, right dear?

Myself, I've been in the hospital for 2 months, going to another posting after this month, continuing my family medicine training. It is quite nerve-wracking, having to re-adjust to a new department and environment every 3 months, forging new friendships and all that, but of course the other side of the coin is, I don't have to stay too long if a particular posting is unbearable. It's been pretty fun in the department I'm in though. The registrars and consultants are nice and approachable, and my fellow MOs are easy to get along with. Made a few friends as well.

Okay, guess I'm more or less done with the updating. Going to write something close to my heart in the next entry, something related to my work, but which I hope you will chew on for thought, because I think it is a mindset that has to change.

Seeya.
