Six weird things about Bernard
TAGGED again! This time by Yenjai.
Why would anyone want to know what’s weird about me? Well.. to think about it, it’s an exercise in self-examination. Even if it’s superficial examination, eh? Let me see…
1. I start my rounds at 8 am. Used to start rounds at 7.30am when I was in government. Old habits die hard. If you like to sleep late when you’re in hospital, don’t get admitted in my care. Or remember to leave a “Do not disturb” sign on your door (or over the bed).
What’s weird about that? Office hours start at 8.30am and most of the other consultants start rounds at 9am. I figured that if I start early, the nurses would have some time to breathe later on when ALL the other consultants demand for nurses by their sides. Eh?
Hmm… that means I have more nurses following my rounds too. See, there’s something good from that.
2. I work on Sundays. My off-day is on Saturday. Weird to many people. Except probably Seventh-Day Adventists AND Kedahans. Government departments and schools in Kedah are closed on Fridays and Saturdays. Private businesses including banks are usually closed on Sundays with Saturdays being a half-day for some. So Saturday is an off-day for most people.
3. My spectacles are crooked. Interestingly, it fits me nicely. Hmmm.. what does that tell you?

I guess my face is not symmetrical, eh?
But “otak” centre, ok?
4. I’m the very best last-minute worker. I prepare everything at the very last moment… getting ready for exams, power point presentation, thesis, packing bags, tax returns, car check before long trips, almost everything… only thing that I do early is getting up in the morning.
5. I’m obsessed with the petrol consumption of my cars. Have always been. Even my motorcycle before my car. The calculations are at my fingertips already. The good thing is my vehicles have always been fuel-efficient or else I might be tearing my hair out.
6. I expect to defy the laws of entropy. Eat just as much, same oand expect to lose weight.
Lemme tag….. BibikNyonya.
