Saturday :)

Lazy lazy Saturday morning~ just finished my bread with a thick layer of nutella goodness and now I'm just sitting at the dining table refusing to budge. Haha. We've started internship in the hospital for about a month now! Feel like a total noob sitting behind the teacher and their assistants who are always busy handling the patients. The system here is nothing like what we have in Singapore. The doors are often left open, patients pop in and out with all sorts of questions - where to pay this, how to eat that, plead with the doctor to allow them to register when they come too late..and at the same time the doctor has to attend to the current patient and come up with a TCM prescription that has to be tailored specifically to every patient's needs.. it amazes me how the doctor manages to handle everything with such efficiency while maintaining a very calm composure. I think TCM physicians in Singapore have a much more relaxed environment.Probably cos we don't have to worry abt ordering all the lab tests and prescribing western medicine. There's just so much for me to learn!

I've also started my plan of exercising everyday in order to lose some weight before winter comes and my body begins to store fat like mad. Already summer is coming to an end. All the stories I've heard abt Beijing's crazy hot summer turned out to be untrue. It can be scorching hot during some afternoons, but just stay indoors for a few hours lor. Temperature during the night is generally low. I think, I might actually like the four seasons here in Beijing more than the weather back in Singapore heh! Now Sharyl and I are gonna start a weekly dance session for our class, first session this Friday! Can't wait to dance with friends again :)

Ahh brilliant blue skies in Beijing today. Rare occurrence! Brightened my mood in an instant when I pulled apart the curtains this morning. Its gonna be a good day today~
