mandai zoo

We took the $4 shuttle outside Delfi . It stopped at most of the major hotels along orchard before finally heading towards the zoo.

Reached there at about 1400h so we had roughly 3½ hours before the shuttle departed back to the city.

I think it's important to plan your route, know what animal shows you're going for and their feeding times etc etc. However Grumpy just wanted to get on with it. So many a time, I was left standing around with the map in my hands trying to figure out if it was quicker through 'Cat Country' or round the 'Australian Outback'

Anyway, I have not walked that much in a LONG time.

The highlight, most definately, was the kangaroo feeding at $5 a pop

It may look like I am feeding a llama but I can assure you it is an Eastern Grey Kangaroo.

It was horribly tame and oh so cute. Too bad there were no koalas

And it's true, doctor's handwriting is damn difficult to read.

life in OT

2nd week into my new post. This is a much bigger department in terms of staffing. At least 6 times bigger.

More people means more gossip going round. I hate office politics. I stay out of it as much as possible.

The biggest plus is the food provided here. It's not magical but it sure as hell is better than if we were to buy from the canteen. I guess they have to make it good cos of the doctors that eat here too.

The most common question I get asked is, "Why are you so tall ?" which is sort of a problem cos the girl scrubs aren't very long and I can't wear boy scrubs (different colour). End up have to wear quite low.

I sit in a corner opposite the theatre with this fancy expensive robotics machine. I was told lots of visitors come to see this machine. It's all wrapped up in plastic. Don't really understand it yet but saw part of an operation once with the patient lying face down and his insides were displayed on a big screen. All blood and guts. yummeh.

Grumpy, has brought me to see rings :) - much to the delight of my mother. Have seen a few I fancy. Although to be honest I don't really care what he gets. I said I wouldn't mind those man-made zirconia type things but he insists on getting the real thing. Alright.
