Today was a glorious day. My 1st cardiac thoracic surgery observation. It was valve replacement for a severe infective endocarditis. The moment I saw the open chest with a large beating heart in front of me, I was so grateful that my heart is normal. As many would have known by now that surgery was never my thing. Last night, I even thought that I am going to dread the surgery session as I know peanuts about the case and procedures.

However, the moment I saw the beating heart stopped as it was being connect to the heart lung machine and from a still heart back to a beating heart, I realized how surreal the operation was. At the moment, I truly felt that surgeons are being God at that moment (no wonder they are paid so ungodly!). And the anesthesiologist is like the King of the floor. Every little thing goes through him. 'Fluid! Heparin! O2! Go get your coffee break now!' So peeps, don't piss your anesthesiologist!!!





This is my homemade tempura set. I had severe craving for Japanese tempura after 1 month being here. So I decided to made my own.. as I knew that the ones here are most likely to be expensive rubbish. It was aubergine, mushroom and prawn tempura. I had to use the Korean batter as they dont have the japanese one.... and...no tempura sauce too...so I used honey mustard sauce.
でもトテモうれしいです〜
