I miss being bored!

This always happens. I'll only learn how to cherish it once I lose it.

The good thing is, I'm learning how to cherish all the little things. That extra 10 minutes of sleep that I gained today. The 2 hours lecture that I was selected to attend out of so many house officers this afternoon. I used to hate lectures but nowadays, they give me an opportunity to clear my head and solely concentrate on learning.

I felt fortunate for the opportunity to learn about the existence of Insulin Tolerance Test which needs to be carried out under supervision over 2 hours. Too bad I couldn't stay for the whole run as I had to rush off to join my ward round and clerk the new patients who were just admitted.

I feel so lucky to be able to feed and water myself during oncalls nowadays when I didn't get the chance last time. I was touched that the nurses offered me KFC in the middle of the night when I was doing my call. The best thing was, I was offered chocolate in the morning by nurses from my own ward.

I still do miss being bored despite all the things that I'm grateful for. When will be the next time that I'll get to feel as bored as I use to while waiting for my posting. Retirement, why are you so far away?

Hopefully, you have some vacation....right?

You should be able to look forward to your vacation....before your retirement.

If you don't get vacation....you should take a week off anyway....and relax at a resort on the beach.
