i had the weirdest dream
my tooth fall out
but i didnt feel any pain just a bit sad
as i stare at the small little tooth in my palm

does it means anything?
i know people said it's a bad sign
im a little bit worried now
hopefully it wasnt aything
plus it wasnt within the 4 am sleep

im worried that bilah might b sick
its been such a long time since i last talk to her
my stubborn rebellious little sister
i still think of her as a little sister
i remember her doing the bird pose when she was little
n abah captured the moment with his camera
the photo might still b in the album in our house somewhere
how i miss my sister
n we have different hols time
maybe i need to go to her place sometime

here's some more photos from the ski trip :)

ayesha n me with the plastic sledges
kebar with his ski equipments
intan with her camera-so not in the photo heh :p

our little snowman

lost my jacket by this time

thick isnt it??

back in cuneo for dinner :)
the price is alright n the foods were delicious
the place is quite close to our hotel
n it was packed with people
we had to wait for half an hour or so
to get seated
but it was worth it :)

the next morning we took the train to ventimiglia,
well supposedly the train straight to nice
but we were a bit late n the train left

the weather was very nice
n u can see the palms tree in the background-err or is it
not obvious in this photo?? well we were
entering the Mediterranean area at this stage

the river flowing from the mountains into the sea

the rocky beach
we reachd nice train station at around 3 pm
from there we walked to our hostel
nice is a big city of which is not really to my liking
bcos of too many people n too many tall modern buildings
that was my first impression
but it changed as i walked around later that evening n
the next two days that we stayed there
nice has its old part as well
of which u can see the differnt in the pattern of the buildings design

they have people of different races n yes religions
eventhough we met many people whom i believe
are muslim, we couldnt find any places to eat
which have the halal signs
one which have the sign
somehow also sell pork-which is a bit confusing doesnt it??
maybe they have different meaning in halal
who knows
but anyway i learnt to like the city :)

the photo below was close to their chrstmas market :)

the picture above is taken by intan on the coach from cuneo airport
to the city centre, everything surrounding us was blanketed with
the white white snow n yes the sun was very bright probably
reflected by the snow,but honestly we didnt really feel cold
the first thing that came to my mind was, did i brought the wrong
clothing??haha but maybe they had the heater on full blown
both the airport n the bus bcos that airport is quite new,
so you know just for the sake of 1st impression hehe
we took the coach for like 20 minutes to the centre

the driver was not speaking anglaise at all
the only thing which made me sure of where we
were going was the sign boards along the street
n maybe bcos we pronounced the cuneo correctly
thus he understood our destination
there's no info.centre at the bus/train station
we had to ask around for the direction to our hotel
n yes as usual we used two different languages
with some sign language to get the direction we want
a lady at the station gave us a map n scribble the
way to get there on foot

the city was bigger than galway but there was not many
people around n the time was around noon on saturday
i thought maybe we were a bit in the outskirt
we check into the hotel n decided for a walk later
in the evening

this is located close to a carpark, not far away from our hotel
the picture below is of one of the piazza-piazza galimberti
they have sort of christmas market on sunday
u can see there wasnt any street performers at this time
n it was saturday
unlike what we normally see in other plaza or along the
shopstreet in galway,they have a quiet saturday i guess


on sunday,we took a taxi to limone piemonte for
60 euro-return journey,couldnt take a train bcos of a snowfall,
one of the ski resort was closed bcos of it,the day b4,
thank God it wasnt anything massive-well
not affecting all of the resorts i mean ;)
the snow was heavy, they advised us not to go to the higher point
but we did take the cabel car to see the area n snapped some photos

kbar decide to try skiing, changed his snowboots n rent the rest
of the gear for skiing-guess how much it cost him???
twenty-two euros only,ayesha n me changed our jacket n rent
2 sledges for thirty euros
earlier, the four of us had 4 snowboots which cost us 11 euros
n later we had coffee for like 40 cents a cup hehe
i was quite amazed with the cost really
i thought it might cost us much much more than that
anyway, we spent several hours playing
n watching kbar trying his hardest not to fall hahaha

there was this one guy i saw in the ski equipments
rental shops all confident trying his boots etc
but then i saw him again in the not-pro area
falling every few seconds bcos he couldnt controlled
his snowboard haha i thought omg he was all boosting
confidence in the shop but it's all gone now,
however that was the only time he played
i didnt see him around after that-poor guy,his friend was
better though, but this guy did used the board till he reached
the watching (??) area eventhough he kept on falling hehe

some people just go there for sun bathing
it was very bright n the rays were reflected from the snow
hence i lost my jacket in the middle of the
sledging hehe :D
i'll put up other photos later ; )

today wasnt that productive,well not yet but it's alright
im planning on writing my essay later
i talked to a pt today she's just full of negative thoughts
just about everything n i feel sorry for her
she seems to have no support from anyone
everyone seems bad in her eyes
but i dont know them-so cant really tell whether that's the truth
her thinking has been like that n cant b change-i think maybe
she doesnt really trust people so she doesnt open up
to the therapist she's been seeing
or maybe she doesnt trust another way of doing things
n stick to her old ways-the same goes with her mind
my consultant might put her n the family on another therapy
hopefully this time her family will
respond well to the therapy n in a way helping her to get through
this episode in her life
the meds doesnt seems to work with her ever

one pt came up to me this morning n demanded a 2nd opinion
on her mental health status
i was at a loss for a bit as she doesnt care even if im only a medical student
but thank god this sr nurse came n said she'll talk to the consultant
for her later, n the pt didnt press the issues further
she seems a bit aggressive though her size is normal
but we never knew what they r capable of if things got out of hand
n the ward is all locked all the time
bcos there's this one pt who has the tendency to run away from the mental hosp
imagine what will happen if one of the pt bcame too
aggressive or maybe homicidal???n u have no place to
escape n save urself??
gah im imagining things hahahha

oh the schedule tomorrow includes self-study
n nasrul mentioned smthg about japanese restaurant in town hehe :D

Sunday, December 14, 2008

my bag still need to b packed
though i only have one more week to go, or maybe just 4 dys
not planning on presenting myself for any presentation for the last
day of the attachment, navid 'll b missing as well so
yes im coming back early next week too
the schedule 'll b as tight as last week
but im going to visit more places
n yes i'll b google-ing the places' location again this week heh

anyway, i saw a friend of mine
well rather the blog that i read-saying she's fed up with the unnoticeable
signs left by her everywhere ngehehe
i think i know what that's about-but
hopefully that person 'll realize all the signs directed to him sooner or later
it's easier if u already know that particular person's real feeling
then being left guessing what's going on in his mind
but smthg needs to happen linking both of their minds
together or else the girl might get prasan or deluded by silly small things
which is not actually for her
yes sad isnt it but i think that's just how girl is-we tend to get deluded
with things that we wanted to happen to/for us
even in a way, way beyond other people comprehension
sometimes we just miss the exact meaning of things bcos
of what we want to believe
-well maybe not me ahahaha though there were
times i had those believes as well-i learnt how to control
them-well i believe i mng to-err am i??
hmm but sometimes those feelings give the pleasure in life
it makes us anticipate things or eager for the next day
well not that it's unpleasureable feelings isnt it??? ; )

Here's the day you hoped would never come
Don't feed me violence
just run with me through rows of speeding cars.
The papercuts the cheating lovers
The coffee's never strong enough
i know you think it's more than just bad luck

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
oh don't lose your head
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

Sleeping pills know sleeping dogs lie
never far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
I've watched you slowly winding down for years
You can't keep on like this...
now's a bad a time as any

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
oh don't kill yourself
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

it's ok by me..

it's ok by me..

it's ok by me..it was a long time ago


it's ok by me..

it's ok by me..

it's ok by me..it was a long time ago

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
oh don't lose your head
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
oh don't kill yourself
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

my pt couldnt remember why she was depressed
or rather she gave me smthg which is totally
made up-well i think so
bcos its not related to her but she believes that
is the reason emm now it sounds like delusion?haha
n that eo wants us to provide a complete
past psych history for the case
but not without the help of the charts
if i do ask the pt again
she will either repeat the same answer or
she might come out with a new story haaih...
n the truth is i couldnt find the depressive
episode in the chart anyway

im so happy that i found my list of jack johnson in my laptop!!
the internet is acting up again well as usual,
so i couldnt listen to the playlist in the youtube,
but anyway we had this video session this morning
i had a patient with pressure of speech
gah i thought i did very bad, but the doc.
conducting the playback session
told us it is hard to talk to pt with pressure of speech
and she also has this grandiose so yes she likes the camera hahha
i never have thought she would suddeny asked
whether we r being recorded in the middle of the session hahha
i was so embarrassed it's as if i didnt say anything about
the recording though i actually explained to her twice
but she was pleasant and wasnt that disinhibited this morning
and not as tired as the first time i talked to her last 2 weeks
or else she might just said she want to sleep in the
middle of the video session-yes it happened the first time
well she has BPAD really hence the symptoms ;)
im taking her as my second case :)
n i learnt what the intrusive really means today
i know it's like intrusion but dont
exactly know when they applied it
err do i sound stupid to u?haha

oh several other things i got from psych so far is
not to blame urself for anything that happen in the past or
maybe even think about anything that occurred that deep
since it might slightly lead to guilt which yes
might cause stronger guilty feeling as time passes
-u might end up depress
i believe i do feel depress smtms-but yeah
try not to think too much of it :)
