Heads up to No Bonus :)
The SMA junior doctors survey is available online at your fingertips. Log on to their website to participate. And er, no, I haven't entered my 5 cents' worth yet. *ducking objects thrown at me* :D

Having a day off, before going to The Esplanade for The Ten Tenors concert later this evening. Am greatly looking forward to it, because the show was supposed to be in April, and got postponed because of the SARS outbreak. Fortunately, unlike Mariah Carey, Moby and Santana, these guys decided to return and go through with their performance. Will post a review tomorrow if I have the chance.

Nice, rainy day today. One of the best things about doing emergency medicine postings -- besides getting enough sleep, no ward rounds / clinics / night calls that last 30 hours -- is being able to stay at home during daylight hours. This morning, for example, after studying a bit and having lunch, I put aside just 30 minutes to watch "Josh Groban In Concert", a DVD that anyone who loves good music MUST have in his / her collection. It was raining lightly outside, with a cool breeze blowing, and the whole neighbourhood was really quiet. Josh's beautiful voice carried wonderfully through the whole house, and hearing him sing "For Always" (from Artificial Intelligence, written by John Williams, aka the greatest musical genius of our time ), "Broken Vow" ( gets me every time ), "You're Still You" and "To Where You Are" really lifted my mood significantly. Not that I was down to begin with. It's just little things like these that put that skip back in your step. Have been overdosing on American Idol recordings recently as well. I never tire of Clay Aiken. :)

There's a malaria outbreak on Pulau Tekong. NS men and anyone else based there should see a doctor stat if they have fever. Funny how a developed country like Singapore is still susceptible to "3rd World" diseases. No amount of good food and strong bodies can prepare you for an onslaught like this one. Having sickle cell anemia has its advantages.
