Apologies

Hey, hey.

Was incredibly busy in the pre-Christmas period with the usual rush as surgeons hurry to finish as many cases as possible before jetting off on their expensive holidays. Though, we did actually get elective cases over the holiday period as well. It seems not all surgeons go galivanting at the end of the year.

Then my sister came for a visit which meant, for the first time since arriving in New South Wales, I went to Sydney CBD and saw the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. We also took the ferry to Taronga Zoo, had dinner at the very, very excellent best-Malaysian-food-I-have-tasted-in-Australia Mamak restaurant in Haymarket and visited the Blue Mountains. I treked. That's right, I engaged in an outdoorsy activity and walked a few short trails, most of which .. what the hell, ALL of which made me feel like my heart was about to pound its way out of my thoracic cavity. I am as fit as a slug. I am so round, my sister could have rolled me along the walking trails.

Now I'm visiting family for the New Year. The other New Year. The Year of the Dragon New Year.

And too soon, I'll be back to reality and can no longer hide from the fact that exams are coming up and I am nowhere near prepared. 

I have made resolutions and here they are. Loosely.

1) Pass exams - which requires daily, commited effort
2) Exercise, diet and lose weight - which requires daily, commited effort
3) Create a healthy, happy home environment - which requires daily, commited effort.


So, I am screwed then.
