HA interview

The day has come. No one in the house knew where I was going. Otherwise, they would be babbling around for the entire month.



Suits up, certificate prepared, I was ready to go. On this heavily rainy day, I seriously thought that I was going to be late. Then I met Chun and Michael at the minibus station. Shit! I am going to be interviewed with THEM. The worst possible thing happened. Anyway, we shared a taxi and be on time. Then I saw Winnie at the check in spot. Another Shit! All the first hon people at the same time slot, completely screwed. Winnie was checking in. She pulled out piles and piles of certificates and awards. Then it was Michael, another piles and piles of certificates. Followed by Chun, the whole freaking folder of certificates.



I am like..... um.... I don't have anything...... except my previous Bachelor cert. hm.... Didn't even take my infectious control and first aid certificates... should I bring my volleyball coach certificate... or my Beijing olympics particpation thingie... or Standard chartered marathon thingie... Anyway, I ended up with ONE certificate.



Nervous nervous nervous. Entering the room, I scrolled around the people to see who's there. Besides the huge pair of eyes rolling around me, there was Ms Poon from QMH. I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE HER AGAIN!! I smiled at her immediately, then I knew she recognized me.



Then there went the questions of interview... boring.. how do you manage chronic pain, asked by Mr Chau. He didn't have any impression on my answer. But I could see the huge pair of eyes was moving up and down with her nodding head. That wasn't too bad, hopefully.



After the interview, Ms Poon came out from the room during the break. She's like, "I am so happy to see you again. You reminded me of the old man you treated. You didn't tell me about your background during placement."

Actually, I am not sure if it's a good thing or not that the CE knows about my background. From my experience at UCH and CMC, CEs had different expectations from me which I usually am unable to reach. That's how I obtained the lowest grades at those two centres. Ms Poon agreed that it was possibly better not to know to minimize bias.

I am soooo HAPPY to see Ms Poon TODAY!!!!!!!!


QMH placement



Some family issue...
My mom has hair line fracture at Rt radius and some carpal bones, had POP SLAP on Monday, removed on Friday morning. Then she started her mobilization exercise right away, by playing MJ. Very enthusiastic! Poor dad was left at home, making chinese medicine for her.

She's fine. She went hiking on Monday morning, and she chose the slippery crushed rocks path, and slipped, and fell, on split right now.
