| i'm now at that stage in my life where i cry at all weddings.
as evidenced by the fact that i just teared up while watching the "office" wedding episode.
though i must say there is something about walking down the aisle and saying "i do" that is a much more spiritually gratifying moment than a traditional chinese style banquet.

| So I was on-call with the internal medicine team (meaning we get newly admitted patients). The on-call medicine team responds to codes (cardiac arrests, loss of consciousness, etc.) around the hospital. I was about to discuss something with my resident when they announce the code, which turns out to be at the other end of the hospital campus. We drop everything and run. She runs faster than me the whole way. Then gets there and immediately proceeds to speak with the people already there. Meanwhile, I trail behind her at least 2 feet and arrive out of breath, barely able to speak. My resident is in her 3rd trimester of pregnancy. FML.

| i'm so tired.
i watched "500 days of summer" this weekend. Joseph Gordon-Levitt has the million dollar smile. But other than that I think I felt sobered by "post-modern" love. Shouldn't one be more responsible with other people's hearts? Never really believed in fate to begin with...it's like glorified coincidences, but sometimes when you have a moment that you want never to end, you have to wonder whether there isn't something more special and less random. I think that was cryptic enough to not give away anything in the movie. If anything the music was amazing.

| So many thoughts... I realized the importance of resting today. It's kind of satisfying to work hard enough that you come home and cannot imagine doing anything else other than sitting. I think my current rotation (internal medicine, sub internship) has reaffirmed my love of this field. Phew. I really thought that I was getting a lot more than I bargained for by coming to medical school. Maybe the hospital is my place. When you understand why someone is acting the way they are, it's much easier to be patient. Then again, what does a 4th year medstudent know about patience? But I figure, even if I end up becoming cynical in the future, there isn't any reason I shouldn't start out optimistic and patient.

This video reminds me of Taipei (not sure why, maybe because it's the KTV version). And brought me to thinking how long it's been since I've missed it. It also saddens me. I feel like I can feel the pain, but at the same time, the desperate search for strength, in the song.
Also, I love this kid. Though, Faye Wong's version is still better in my opinion:

I also love her:

What happened to his hair! (It would make me really happy if someone knew what I was talking about.):

This makes me miss Asia in general (look at his outfit!):

Yes, this is what I do when I rest.

| There was a love affair in this building
The kind of love affair, which every respectable building must keep as a legend
Slowly festering through an innocent by the way or have you heard
He was perfect except for the fact that he was an engineer and mothers prefer doctors and law-yers...
Yet despite this imperfection he was clean looking and respectable looking
And you'll never find a mother who doesn't appreciate a natural man
So he grew healthy aloe Vera plants by the window
Healthy teeth in his mouth
Healthy hair on his head
He grew healthy wavy brown hair on his head
The kind that babies always go for with sticky little fingers
Regina Spektor
