Let’s get real!
What bothers you and why?

Hey there, lovely readers!
Today, we’re diving into the wonderful world of pet peeves.
Yep, we’re talking about those little things that just get under your skin and make you want to scream into a pillow.
What bothers you and why? Buckle up because we’re about to take a wilde ride through some common annoyances.
1. Slow Internet
Let’s kick things off with a classic: slow internet.Is there anything more infuriating than watching the spinning wheel of death while trying to stream your favourite show?
Or worse, when you’re in the middle of an important Zoom meeting and your screen freezes in the most unflattering way possible.
Seriously, is it too much to ask for a stable connection in the 21st century?
2. Telemarketers
Next up, telemarketers.These persistent callers have an uncanny ability to ring just as you’re sitting down for dinner or when you’re in the middle of a relaxing bath.
The worst part?
They always seem to have the most important and irrelevant offers just for you.
“Congratulations! You’ve been selected for a free cruise!” Thanks, but I’ll pass.
3. Overly Loud Chewing
Can we talk about loud chewers for a second?There’s something about the sound of someone chomping away on their food that can drive even the most patient person up the wall.
It’s like they’re auditioning for a role in a sound effects department.
If I wanted to hear that, I’d turn on an ASMR video.
4. Endless Email Chains
How about those never-ending email chains?You know the ones where everyone feels the need to hit “Reply All” with their two cents.
Before you know it, your inbox looks like a novel, and you’re stuck scrolling through 47 messages just to find the original point.
Can we all agree to use “Reply All” sparingly?
5. Misbehaving Technology
Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, right?But when your printer decides to have a meltdown right before an important deadline or your phone battery dies at 20%, it feels like the universe is playing a cruel joke.
Don’t even get me started on autocorrect—no, I did not mean “ducking.”
6. Slow Walkers
And then there are the slow walkers.You’re in a hurry, weaving through the crowd like a ninja, and then you get stuck behind someone who seems to be taking a leisurely Sunday stroll on a Tuesday morning.
It’s like they’re walking through molasses, and all you can do is smile politely and wait for an opening.
7. Leftovers with No Expiration Date
Here’s a fun one: leftovers in the fridge with no expiration date.Is this container of spaghetti from last week or last month? Who knows!
It’s a game of culinary roulette, and the stakes are high.
Do you risk it, or do you toss it? The struggle is real.
So, there you have it—my list of things that bother me and why.From slow internet to leftover roulette, these little annoyances can really test our patience.
But hey, they also give us something to laugh about (eventually).
What bothers you and why? Share your pet peeves in the comments below—I can’t wait to commiserate with you!

Home Decor Gone Wrong: Laughing Through the Chaos
📌Disclaimer: Please note that if you click on any of the links and make a purchase, I will be receiving a small commission at NO extra cost to you📌
Home decor projects are supposed to transform our spaces into beautiful, cosy sanctuaries.
But sometimes, even with the best intentions, things go hilariously wrong.
Let’s dive into some funny stories of home decor mishaps and share tips on how to keep your cool when chaos ensues.
**1. The DIY Disaster**
– **Story**: Inspired by a trendy DIY project on Pinterest, you decide to create a stunning accent wall using reclaimed wood.Halfway through, you realize you’ve miscalculated the amount of wood needed and now have a patchwork wall that looks more like a jigsaw puzzle than a rustic masterpiece.
– **Tip**: Measure twice, buy once. Always purchase a little extra material to account for mistakes.
And remember, imperfections add character!
**2. The Furniture Fiasco**– **Story**: You fall in love with a massive vintage dresser at a flea market.
Without measuring your space, you buy it, only to find it won’t fit through your front door.
Now, it’s an unwelcome lawn ornament until you figure out what to do with it.
– **Tip**: Measure your doorways, hallways, and the intended space before purchasing large furniture.
If you’re unsure, bring a friend for a second opinion.
**3. The Paint Panic**– **Story**: You decide to freshen up your living room with a bold new paint colour.
After a few hours of painting, you step back and realize your vibrant choice looks more like a fluorescent nightmare.
Your living room now resembles a neon sign.
– **Tip**: Always test paint colors on a small section of the wall first and view them at different times of the day.
If you make a mistake, don’t panic—paint is relatively easy to fix.
**4. The Curtain Catastrophe**– **Story**: You order beautiful new curtains online, only to find out they’re too short for your windows.
Instead of elegant drapes, you’ve got awkward high-water curtains that make your windows look like they’re wearing capris.
– **Tip**: Measure your windows’ height and width before ordering curtains.
If you’ve already made the mistake, consider adding a coordinating fabric panel at the bottom to lengthen them.
**5. The Assembly Agony**– **Story**: That flat-pack furniture seemed like a bargain until you started assembling it.
Three hours in, you’re surrounded by an assortment of screws and mysterious parts, and the instructions might as well be in another language.
– **Tip**: Take your time, follow the instructions step by step, and don’t hesitate to ask for help.
Sometimes, an extra pair of hands makes all the difference.
**6. The Rug Riddle**– **Story**: You buy a gorgeous area rug online, but when it arrives, it’s way too small for your living room.
Now, it looks like a tiny island in the middle of your sea of furniture.
– **Tip**: A rug should be large enough to fit under all major pieces of furniture in a room.
If you’re in doubt, bigger is usually better.
**7. The Lighting Lunacy**– **Story**: In an effort to brighten up your home, you install new light fixtures.
But instead of a warm, inviting glow, you get blinding interrogation room lighting.
Now, every flaw in your decor (and skin) is painfully visible.
– **Tip**: Choose light bulbs with the right colour temperature for the mood you want to create.
Warm white (2700K-3000K) is usually best for living spaces.
**8. The Art Arrangement Anarchy**– **Story**: Determined to create a gallery wall, you enthusiastically start hanging frames without a plan.
The result is a chaotic, uneven mess that looks more like a crime scene than an art display.
– **Tip**: Lay out your frames on the floor first to plan the arrangement.
Use a level and painter’s tape to mark the wall before hammering in nails.
**9. The Plant Predicament**– **Story**: You add a touch of green with some houseplants, but within weeks, they’re wilted and sad.
Turns out, your green thumb is more like a black thumb.
– **Tip**: Choose plants that suit your home’s lighting conditions and your care abilities.
Start with low-maintenance plants like succulents or snake plants.
**10. The Accessory Overload**– **Story**: Eager to decorate, you fill every surface with trinkets and decor pieces.
Instead of a stylish look, you end up with a cluttered mess that feels more like a flea market than a home.
– **Tip**: Less is more.
Choose a few key pieces that you love and let them shine. Regularly edit your decor to avoid overcrowding.
Embracing the Chaos
Home decor mishaps are part of the journey to creating a space that truly feels like home.Embrace the chaos, laugh at the mistakes, and learn from them.
Each error is a step closer to your perfect sanctuary.

Superstitious? Me? Pfft… Unless the Universe is Listening.
Are you superstitious?

Am I Superstitious? Let’s Just Say… It’s Complicated.
Wanderlust Chronicles Page-Turners Galore Silver Screen Escapes Glam Squad Essentials Chic Chronicles Tiny Treasures Home Sweet Home Nail Envy Gifts Galore
This morning, my son and his buddies threw out a dangerous question: “Are you superstitious?”
Now, logically, I want to say no. I don’t walk around tossing salt over my shoulder or fearing black cats. But if we’re being honest… I also refuse to say things like “Wow, nothing has gone wrong today!” because I know the universe is listening.
So, am I superstitious? Let’s just say I respect the possibility of unseen forces—but I’m also not afraid to test them.
Let’s break it down.1. The ‘Don’t Jinx It’ Rule (AKA, I’m Not Stupid)
Culinary Delights Step into Style WFH Warriors Love in the Time of Chaos Game On Tech Talk DIY All Things Easter🐣🐰 Ride in Style Camping/Outdoor Essentials
You ever confidently say something, only for life to immediately slap you in the face?
🔹 Example: “Ugh, I never get sick.” Boom—suddenly, I’m drowning in tissues and self-pity.
🔹 Pain Level: 9/10. Because why does the universe have to be so petty?
✅ How I Handle It: I knock on wood. Every time. Even if it’s fake. Even if people are watching. If I forget? You best believe I’m mentally whispering “no jinx, no jinx, no jinx” to undo the damage.
2. The ‘Something Feels Off’ Rule (My Sixth Sense is Real)
I don’t know if it’s energy, instinct, or just years of experience with people being sketchy, but if something feels wrong, I listen.
🔹 Example: Walking into a place and feeling an immediate, unexplainable sense of nope.
🔹 Pain Level: 10/10 if ignored. Because the ONE TIME I brushed it off, I ended up in a situation I never should have been in.
✅ How I Handle It: If my gut tells me to leave, I leave. No debating, no justifying. The last thing I need is to become the main character in a bad horror movie.
3. The ‘Ghosts? Prove Me Wrong’ Rule (I’m Ready for This Fight)
Unlike most people, I don’t fear ghosts, Ouija boards, or haunted places—I’m fascinated by them. Do I believe in spirits and the paranormal? Not really.
But am I willing to test it? Hell yes.
🔹 Example: While some people refuse to step foot in a haunted house, I’m the one saying, “Alright, if something’s here, show yourself.”
🔹 Pain Level: TBD. But honestly, if a ghost did prove me wrong, I’d be more excited than scared.
✅ How I Handle It: If the supernatural wants my attention, it better bring receipts. Until then, I’m keeping my skepticism and my curiosity wide open.So, Am I Superstitious?
Let’s put it this way—I don’t live in fear of bad luck, but I also don’t poke the bear (except when it comes to ghosts, apparently).If knocking on wood, trusting my instincts, and challenging the unknown keeps things interesting, then I’m all in.
Now, tell me—are you superstitious?Or are you the type to laugh in the face of fate?
Drop your thoughts in the comments… but if your luck suddenly changes, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Others want angel wings between their shoulder blades.
Me?
I want the Joker and Harley Quinn… tangled in sin… on my inner thigh.
Yes, you read that right. I already have six tattoos—each one a slice of my story—but this?
This one’s going to be my masterpiece.
Why settle for basic when your thighs are prime real estate for chaos, colour, and the promise of a little danger?
Why the Inner Thigh, though?
Well, darling, that’s easy.
It’s hidden… until it’s not.
It’s intimate. Naughty. A secret meant to be earned.
And every time I cross my legs or shift in bed, I’ll know there’s a beautiful madness resting just beneath my skin.
The Joker, smirking with toxic charm.
Harley, wide-eyed, wild, loyal in all the wrong ways.
The ultimate ride-or-die pair—etched into my flesh, just inches from all the fun.
Honestly? If you’re going to mark your body forever, make it interesting.
Make it tell a story… or whisper one between parted thighs.
More Tattoos. More Mischief. More Me.
My body is already a canvas of secrets and symbols.
Not just to look.
But to wonder.
To imagine what else might be hiding underneath the lace and leather.
So, yes—my Joker and Harley thigh piece is still in the works.
But the rest of my skin? Hungry. Ready. Waiting for the needle to tell another scandalous tale.

What’s Something Most People Don’t Know About Me?
If you asked Chat Ludlow, the commanding king of the dark Fae and richest man on Earth, what most people don’t know about him, he’d probably smirk and say, “Everything. They only see what I let them.”
That, my friends, is what I’m aiming for here—a little mystery, a little intrigue, and a lot of fun.
So, what’s something most people don’t know about me?
Well, I’m not just a dark romance enthusiast—oh no. I’ve got layers, much like Chat’s intricate plans to make Belle his forever (cue the swoon).

Yup, you read that right. While I live for crafting my own sizzling stories, I’ve got another obsession that’s just as intense: dark romance audiobooks. And not just any narrators will do—no, no.
My go-tos are the deliciously deep voices of Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton.
There’s something about the way they bring the tension, passion, and raw emotion of a story to life that keeps me hooked for hours.
Think of it as the Chat Ludlow experience—dangerous, seductive, and oh-so-intoxicating. Much like Belle, I can’t help but swoon every time those voices take over my headphones.
Just like how Chat’s deep, commanding voice sends Belle into a fluster, audiobooks narrated by these legends have the power to take any romance to the next level.
If you’re not already obsessed, trust me—you’re missing out on the ultimate audio romance experience.
Why Audiobooks? Because They Let You Escape.
Life, much like the worlds Chat and Belle navigate, can get overwhelming.
Between work, life, and the chaos in between, we all need a way to escape. And for me, that’s pressing play on a dark romance audiobook and letting those velvety voices take me into another world.
It’s a bit like falling headfirst into one of Chat’s steamy power games—except this time, it’s Aiden Snow telling me all the dirty details, and I don’t have to lift a finger.
When you listen to Aiden Snow or Teddy Hamilton, it’s like having your very own Chat Ludlow right in your ear, whispering all those dangerously sweet nothings.
What’s not to love? You can dive into a world of Fae kings, ruthless CEOs, and unrelenting passion—all while folding your laundry (because multitasking is key, am I right?).
Everyone loves a good escape.
Whether you’re listening to a podcast or, like me, you’re falling for a brooding fictional alpha on audio, there’s something magical about immersive experiences.
What This Says About Me (and Chat)
Now, I know what you’re thinking—What does an obsession with dark romance audiobooks have to do with writing or being Chat Ludlow’s obsession?
Well, everything, actually. People expect you to be a certain way based on what you create, but there’s always more beneath the surface.
For example, Chat may come off as a dominant, ruthless man in control of everything, but underneath it all, he’s fiercely in love with Belle—someone who softens his edges and makes him vulnerable.
Similarly, when I’m not writing, I’m melting into the worlds created by my favourite narrators, where love, danger, and passion intertwine in a way that’s just so satisfying.
Your Turn: What Don’t People Know About You?
Okay, now it’s your turn. I’ve spilled my secret—dark romance audiobooks narrated by the dreamy Aiden Snow and Teddy Hamilton. Chef’s kiss, right?
What’s something about you that people don’t expect?
Do you also escape into stories when life gets overwhelming, or is there another secret passion you’re hiding?
Drop a comment below and tell me your favourite audiobook narrator or what surprising hobby you’re obsessed with.
You never know—you might just find a fellow audiobook addict (and I’ll definitely be here fangirling alongside you).

1. The Spicy Spectacle
You pride yourself on your tolerance for heat, so when the friendly street vendor in Bangkok offers you a taste of their “mild” curry, you confidently accept with a smile. But as the first fiery bite hits your tongue like a flamethrower in a chili factory, you quickly realize that you may have underestimated the true meaning of “Thai spicy.” Cue the frantic gulps of water and the impromptu fire-breathing performance that leaves your fellow diners both impressed and slightly concerned for your well-being.
2. The Mystery Meat Mishap
You’re feeling adventurous, so when the menu at that quaint little bistro in Paris lists “escargot” as the house specialty, you decide to throw caution to the wind and give it a try. But as you take your first tentative bite of the slimy delicacy, you can’t shake the sinking feeling that you may have just eaten something that was alive mere moments ago. Cue the existential crisis and the fervent vow to stick to more familiar fare for the remainder of your culinary adventures.

3. The Cultural Conundrum
You’re determined to immerse yourself in the local culture, so when your gracious host in Tokyo presents you with a steaming bowl of what can only be described as “mystery soup,” you graciously accept with a smile and a bow. But as you tentatively take a sip and try to identify the various unidentifiable floating objects, you realize that sometimes, cultural immersion comes with a side of gastrointestinal distress. Cue the polite nods and the silent prayers for a speedy recovery as you struggle to maintain your composure in the face of culinary adversity.

4. The Street Food Fiasco
You’ve heard rave reviews about the street food scene in Marrakech, so when you stumble upon a bustling market teeming with tantalizing smells and exotic flavors, you can’t resist the siren call of the street vendors. But as you dig into your first bite of falafel, you quickly realize that street food adventures come with their own set of risks – namely, the inevitable battle with food poisoning that leaves you regretting every culinary decision you’ve ever made.
5. The Sweet Surprise
Amidst the chaos and confusion of culinary mishaps abroad, sometimes you stumble upon a hidden gem that restores your faith in the power of international cuisine. Whether it’s a piping hot plate of pad thai in Bangkok or a decadent slice of tiramisu in Rome, these unexpected delights serve as a delicious reminder that sometimes, the best culinary adventures are the ones that catch you by surprise.

Lazy Days As A Medical Officer
Click here for more articles & daily dose.
Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?
While I’m at work, I’d be looking forward to returning home or towards my off day. In contrary, while I’m at home or on my off day, I’d be thinking about returning to work.
Do you feel the same way?
Previously, as a House Officer, I’m used to the “one off day per week”. Whereas, as a Medical Officer, weekends and public holidays are granted off days, except if you’re well… oncall and that depends on your current department as well as some departments require you to put in a half day shift during weekends or public holidays.
I’d say for me, considering I live alone and I don’t even own a car here in Sarawak, I’m pretty much lazy and unproductive to the point I get restless sometimes.
That’s counter productive as rest days are meant to make you feel… rested, right?
Thus, on my off days, since I’m an early riser, I try not to disturb my circadian rhythm by getting up at the same time as usual every morning, partly because I forgot to off the alarm or somehow, my body clock just wakes me up every time.
To feel so-called “productive”, I’d do some studying with my morning coffee till I well, lose my focus, then I start wondering about lunch and start cooking, handwash my clothes because I’m too lazy to walk downstairs with a bag of clothes and finally doze off for my afternoon nap.
I’d then wake up in the evening to have dinner and pack my essentials and bag for work the following day before finally, retiring to bed early.
I really need to be more productive during my off days.
Even me writing this just sounds too depressing.

A locum or locum tenens, is a person who temporarily fulfils the duties of another; the term is especially used for physicians or clergy.
– Wikipedia.
The first time I ever tasted or ventured into locum or a so-called “part-time doctor” was on the 3rd of August 2025.
At that time, I was back in my hometown and on a 3-weeks-break post housemanship / internship at a small private clinic, yet to officially begin as a Medical Officer.
While I was in medical school, I would occasionally hear this term “locum” from my fellow seniors or batch mates, lecturers, parents or even friends of my parents. However, in order to locum, one would need to be fully registered with the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) and possess a valid Annual Practicing Certificate (APC). In short, I had to graduate medical school, finish my internship or housemanship first, then only am I able to dive into this.
Thus, upon acquiring my full MMC and APC licence, I was looking forward to locum. Looking forward to it as well as nervous to dive into this. Thankfully, I had just completed my final rotation in the Emergency and Trauma Department.
In the Emergency and Trauma Department, there are various zones in which the patients would be triaged into in terms of presenting complaints, severity and their vital signs. The least critical in severity would be triaged into Green zone. The Green zone is similar to a clinic setting, thus, it gave me some idea on the type of cases I would be expecting.
My first locum was just 3 hours long, from 7pm till 10pm. I figured that since I am just starting at that time, it would be better to start with minimal hours in order to get used to it and also.. if I would enjoy it.
The clinic was quaint and small but equipped with basic necessities and a scan machine. The only thing that it did not have, was an x-ray facility. The moment I sat down, the patients kept coming back-to-back. As soon as I was done with one, another came.
For a first-timer, I felt it was equivalent to the Green Zone in General Hospital whereby the cases were always there but the patient load was manageable.
However, I was extremely scared.
Mainly afraid that I might accidentally jeopardise the patient’s safety in terms of mismanagement. Thankfully, by 9:30 pm, the clinic assistant stopped accepting new patients and prepared to close the clinic.
For a first experience, it was a good one despite it being rather terrifying for me.
But, we all have to start somewhere and build our confidence, don’t we?

First of all, Happy New Year! I hope you have had a great start to this year and if you have any New Year’s Resolutions planned, I hope that you will be able to stick throughout the year.
I did not have any New Year’s Resolutions planned as I usually did the previous years. Mainly because I have just moved to a new place, settling in with things still pending in Kuching, trying to adapt to my working environment as well as picking up on new skills.
Thus, New Year’s Resolution? It’ll come as the year progresses.
My New Year’s Eve was spent at work and mainly in the ambulance with a dear friend as well as work colleague, however, that is a separate post for another time.
As usual, since I’ve started working as a doctor in 2023, I’ve always made it a point to work on New Year’s Day, a habit which I’ve adapted from my dad ever since he has started working at the age of 18.
However, New Year’s Day is a public holiday here in Sarawak. Thus, I was allocated as the oncall medical officer on the 1st of January as well as on the 2nd of January. Per oncall shift is from 8am on that day till 8am the following day (which means, mine ended at 8am on the 3rd of January).
My first case began with a case of wound breakdown over the right wrist, which the patient chose not to seek hospital treatment followed by another case of upper gastrointestinal bleed which was sent to hospital. This was then followed by another case of possible acute appendicitis which the patient and family decided to “discharge against medical advice” because they wanted to seek treatment in their hometown considering they were travelling and happened to be in the same area.
Upon returning home, I was called back for a case of breakthrough seizure likely secondary to under-dosage of medications. The patient had three episodes of seizure that day followed by a regular 1-2 monthly episodes. Hence, referred and sent to hospital.
Finally, I can return home. Time to get some rest since I would be working the next day. Shortly after, I was called back, a patient sustained laceration wound over the medial aspect of his antecubital fossa. Mechanism of injury? Unknown and he was in an extremely drunken state.
Otherwise, he was stable. Sadly, my medical assistant at that time could not be contacted to escort the patient to hospital and the family members did not have their own transportation.
If only, he was fully awake, I would have triaged him to green zone. However, transportation issues… Thankfully, the patient’s family has an uncle who was willing to send. The only thing was he needed some time to arrive due to the heavy rain and slippery roads.
I didn’t feel good leaving the patient behind although he was stable. Thus, I stayed till 4am until his uncle came and the patient himself had woken up.
After that, I went back home and straight away gotten ready for work since it’s a working day and I am still oncall.
The following day on the 2nd of January, went by smoothly during office hours with referrals here and there but it was manageable.
In the afternoon, another patient came in for symptomatic anaemia secondary to abnormal uterine bleeding with newly diagnosed cervical carcinoma. Her haemoglobin level was 5, who again, refused hospital referral claiming she visited the clinic for fever and not for her anaemic symptoms. After much convincing and discussion with my specialist, the patient still opted to “discharge against medical advice”.
Which makes me wonder… Why in the world?…
This was followed by dinner with my friend. I remembered thinking to myself that evening that maybe… just maybe… I would have a cold night. Enough of referrals.
However, at 11:30pm on the 2nd of January 2026, I received a call from my medical assistant that a patient presented to the clinic breathless with an SpO2 of 50% under room air, started on high flow mask and at best, it is only 90%.
Sounds like an impending intubation and CPR case.
I called up my friend immediately as I rushed to the car as she lives closer to the clinic. I needed all the help I could get for this patient. The roads were slippery and it was a rainy night. Yet, I sped. Thankfully, my friend had already arrived before me.
The patient?
I remembered seeing this patient on the 23rd of December 2025. At that time, his lungs already had crepitations with reduced air entry over the right side and yet he chose to “discharge against medical advice”. I remembered telling him that he would collapse if he didn’t go and true enough, here he was… sitting up, gasping for air.
His vitals? Blood pressure was sky high, lungs filled with crepitations but no pedal oedema, lines were set, no ECG done but we didn’t have time to waste…
I called up the Emergency Physician in the nearest hospital (which is an hour away), presented shortly and informed that we had to proceed with intubation because he was too tachypnoeic.
We prepared for intubation, informed the family members as well as explained the risk of CPR and death. The family understood and agreed.
Intubation… This was a difficult intubation for the guy was a very large guy with hardly any neck visible.
But before we could start, his GCS dropped and so did his heart rate, I started CPR while my friend attempted to crash intubate. We attempted to crash intubate and both times, it failed… I called up the Emergency Physician again and told her that we were 30 minutes into the CPR, she told me to call off after the current cycle.
My first death at a new workplace and on the third day of the year at 0027H, 3rd of January 2026.
Then, I proceeded to complete my notes for the family members to bring to the police station to lodge a police report and broke the news to the family. I was calm and so were the patients’ family. After that, I called up the Emergency Physician to thank her and then, I broke down.
I broke down because had he gone on the 23rd itself, he wouldn’t have to gone through this.. He lives alone and his so-called family members aren’t even his biological family members but neighbours and friends… I broke down because I also felt defeated… We tried our best with such limited resources and manpower…
Yet, I couldn’t save him…
If you have YET to come up with a New Year’s Resolution… At least consider this, adhere to your regular check-ups if you have any… Stay compliant to your medications, diet restrictions or any fluid restrictions if you do have…
And if something is off or not right, please RUSH to the nearest clinic or better, the hospital… Because there is only so much that we can do with such limited resources in a community clinic.
Otherwise, I wish that you have a Blessed 2026 filled with love, beautiful memories and wonderful opportunities.
Remember to have fun and do enjoy it but please do so, responsibly.

The tagging hours in the Department of Emergency & Trauma is from 7am till 10pm, for a total of 10 days and one off day per week. There are no assessments required to off-tag, only hours required to cash in.
During our tagging season, we were not allocated for night shifts as well.
For me, tagging in this posting felt like an eternity. I remembered counting down my days before I would finally “offtag” and be switched to regular working hours. I also remembered being extremely exhausted at the end of my shift, wondering how did my fellow colleagues managed to pull through.
Tagging in this posting as compared to the other postings was considered less stressful as we were not required to arrive early for morning rounds. We merely had to arrive on time and upon the end of our shift, we leave, as compared to other postings where we would stay back almost every time, cash in “unpaid overtimes.”
Finally after 10 days of tagging, I officially “off-tagged“.
So how was life after that?
Much better. Thankfully.
Regular hours in the Emergency & Trauma Department meant working a 12-hours shift per day with an off day per week and a single night shift.
Basically, we had to ensure that in total, we had to meet the total 60-hours shift per week.
Thus are the timings for our respective shifts:
- AM Shift: 7am – 7pm
- PM Shift: 10am – 10pm
- Night Shift: 10pm – 10am
If you have read my articles on “The Joy Of Working The Night Shift As A House Officer” as well as “My Favourite Time Of The Day At Work“, I mentioned that I absolutely love the night shift. The disadvantage of working the night shift is that we are usually alone and the night shift can be rather unpredictable.
However, it is not the same for me in this posting. Out of the shifts listed above, my favourite is the AM shift, 7am till 7pm. Initially, getting up for work at 7am is tough especially after working the PM shifts back-to-back. But after the initial morning sleepiness wears off, the day proceeds as usual and we return home at 7pm which is nice.
Life after offtag in this department ensured that I had adequate rest prior to my shift starting. No doubt, it is a 12-hours shift every time, we usually arrive and leave work on time as compared to other postings.
Nonetheless, I was still exhausted after every shift. Perhaps it was due to the accumulated mental and physical stress throughout the previous five postings that when I am finally blessed with extra rest, I am still tired.
If you are still in the tagging phase, be it in this department or others, please stay strong. Remember that it doesn’t last forever, it is merely over a certain span of days or weeks.
Keep showing up, keep doing the good work to the best of your strength and abilities and keep moving forward.

Overcoming My Fear To Refer A Case I DO NOT KNOW | Housemanship Diaries
Click here for more articles & daily dose.
What fears have you overcome and how?
At the moment of writing this article, I am in my sixth and final rotation which is in the Department of Emergency Medicine, pushing into my third month.
One might think that as we become more senior in our current job, it gets easier or the fear fades.
Well, the anxiety certainly reduces but that does not mean that it disappears.
For me, the fear is still there as to who I would be working with or who I would be referring to and most of all, referring a case that I not know.
I’m sure we’ve all been there before. Especially upon arrival to work and to be absolutely clueless about the patient and their case and progress and to not have anyone handover the case to you.
Not that we won’t take the time to understand. It is just that, we will or at least I would take the time to digest the initial presentation, clinical examination and findings followed by the initial management of the patient and other teams as well as the current progress.
Once I have finally understood the issue of the patient from A to Z, then I can confidently refer the patient for a simple thing.
That’ll usually take me about 5-10 minutes, especially if there is just one too many writing. To others that may seem like an eternity.
The thing is they will somewhat give me a template of what to say in regards to the patient but I am still absolutely clueless and wishes to kindly absorb the pages and information about the patient before I walk into the battlefield.
This is because, one too many times, I will be asked about things totally irrelevant to the case of the patient which will take me some time and if I’m not so lucky, ended up being shouted at. I mean, that’s the worst that can happen right? Certainly reminds me of my early days of housemanship.
Maybe it’s a form of childhood trauma or maybe not, but I need to at least have a reason to defend myself and the patient.
It’s like a debate or a business deal which I find that I may need to fib or exaggerate myself in order to get a test approved or to refer, all for the sake of the patient or sometimes the superiors.
It’s alright but at times it can be rather annoying especially when they want it done in a minutes time.
The next that I have to actually open my mouth and communicate. Being an introvert, I can easily talk to people but I dislike being in groups, small talks or actually talking at times.
I find it exhausting and thus upon the end of my shift, I just need time to recuperate.
However, back to the question of this article, my fear, to refer to other departments, especially, if it is a case I do not know and to a tiger of a person who loves finding any fault just to reject the case is still present to this day and what have I done to overcome it? Nothing, really, just extreme patience.

Daily writing prompt What personal belongings do you hold most dear? View all responsesNot the same question as yesterday, but sort of in the neighborhood.
Do I hold any possessions dear? I don’t know. I guess the real question is how do you define holding something dear?
Our house? Our cars? Life would be pretty tough without those. My glasses? That’s a possession that’s pretty super important too. Do I hold them dear? My computer, my iPhone, my guitars, my cameras, my TV, my turntable? The fly swatter I used to finally nail that little buggie bastard that has been buzzing me for the last 20 minutes or so? All of those things are important. Many of them are special. Do I hold them dear? I don’t think so.
I hold relationships dear. I hold people dear. I don’t know if I hold any possessions dear.
Maybe I just don’t understand the question, you know?
