After about 3.5 weeks of lovely hospital attachments, I rediscovered my love for medicine. or at least I finally saw the whole point of thorough sciences. I promise a detailed post on my attachment as soon as time permits!
I also left for Chengdu and Tibet not long after the attachment came to an end. I truly appreciated the company of a friend of mine from Cambridge and her fiancee from Princeton, especially after all the local delights they introduced me to!
Tibet met my expectations of being truly mystique, with clouds so close they seemed reachable, mountain ranges of marvellous shades laid out like thick layers of curtains, mirror-like, reflective lakes not to mention stunning architecture with the distinct black window frames, red/green ornaments and a tinge of Chinese yellow to everything else.
The food, disappointingly left my entire family travellers' diarrhoea, myself still feeling unwell as I blog despite having returned for about 4 days now. The melting yak butter, fuelling the candlelit temples left me feeling nauseous, and their oil-drenched fried rice/noodles didn't do any good to my GI tract.
As a result, I had to postpone my 6-week stint at Nepal and will only leave for that region of the world this Sunday. Am hoping to feel better by then! In the meantime, I've been keeping myself occupied with fun times at MMHA, whilst recuperating! Met an interesting bloke doing psychology at UTAR and almost met with a car accident, with him in it! I'd be pleasantly surprised if he requested for a lift tomorrow after the nightmare earlier this evening.
