2011: The Year That Was
Greetings, my wonderful readers, and welcome to another end of year entry. For those of you who are new to this, allow me to explain - I've been writing one of these every year now for six years. I stow away things people say throughout the year like a magpie (though others have used the word "freak"), and reward myself after each invariably torturous exam period by writing and refining this behemoth until I become sick of the sound of my own voice in my head. I told myself I'd wait until the 15th of this month to upload this but I'm fed up with proof-reading and honing and want to finally share it with you. Forgive me if I sound pretentious at any point during the next hour (or week, depending on how quickly you read this and if you decide to read until the end :P); it is unintentional and most likely a result of trying to condense a year into one webpage. Regardless of if this is your first, second, or sixth time sharing this with me, thank you for doing me the honour of reading it - I hope you enjoy your stay.

For Making This Year What It Was, I Thank...
2011: The Year That Came To Be
Scenes To Remember... Or That Others Wish We'd Forget
Amir: I was embarrassed today.
Soondoos: Who did it?
Amir: My supervisor. He asked me what the gradings for limb power mean... I had NO idea. He asked me what 3 is - I said medium ROFL
Soondoos: I'm going to copy/paste this, and show you later this year.
Amir: He then asked us what goes through the spinothalamic tract. I said "nerves".
Mum: Soondoos!
Soondoos: (Opens room door and glares out from under a hoodie) Wot. I'm about to go and pray.
Mum: (Glares back) Don't go to pray looking like Eminem.
"It's major surgery and you could die!" - Alice to an OSCE (exam) appendicitis patient
"I want my daughter to marry your son, because my daughter will be used to giving orders and your son will be used to taking them." - Anika to me
After Mubariz projectile vomits onto Mum, who sits perfectly still until he finishes...
"Mum, your skirt is wet!" - Murabit
"What if I married an orphan..." - Synthia tries to avoid the mother-in-law minefield that is the ethnic marriage
"I can remove a stomach but I can't log into the computer. Awesome." - Christos while trying to write up a gastrectomy operation report
"You're an emotional floozy." - Denise to me
During a respiratory clinic, in between seeing patients...
Dr. T: Do you have any questions you want to ask me?
Simon: What's the difference between a cone and a bong?
After doing a urinalysis (test where you dip a strip of test paper into a patient's urine)...
Dr. V: Do you want the good news or the bad news?
Male patient: Good.
Dr. V: Everything's normal.
Patient: And the bad?
Dr. V: You're not pregnant.
At Sarfraz's 21st BBQ...
Anika: (Points to a plate of fish) What do you call this again?
Humayun: It's sea vegetable.
Bested by my ten year old brother, as he acquires yet another piece of cutlery from the kitchen to eat lunch...
Soondoos: [Hic] Why do you need a fork as well?
Mubariz: Why do you have hiccups? (Walks off, leaving Soondoos speechless)
In the lead-up to OSCEs, which are in late September...
Jae: I just wish I could hibernate... wake me up when September ends.
[Much appreciative laughter]
Soondoos: I see what you did there, Jae!
Jae: I have my moments.
"My backup plan is to spontaneously die." - Simon re. OSCEs
Harshil: I've been getting exercise at least.
Soondoos: Oh good! What have you been doing?
Harshil: Just hour long walks, but it's been nice. And all the honking in the west has been good for my dwindling self-esteem haha.
As I leave for a party dressed as Tuxedo Mask...
"Why are you wearing a burqa?" - Dad
As Simon and I decide how to split up a chapter for a LAMS groupwork task...
Simon: I was thinking just split the chapter in half?
Soondoos: Yeah but how do we do that?
Simon: Mmm well imagine you have a cake, and you have two people who both want to eat the cake -
Soondoos: You're lactose intolerant, you can't eat the damn cake.
Simon: Exactly. So as a responsible partner, you say 'I will EAT THE WHOLE CAKE NOM NOM NOM'
"What the hell do they (UNSW students) do for four years? 'SIR I HAVE DISCOVERED THE SITE OF THE PAIN, IT TOOK ME TWO HOURS TO UNDERSTANDS THE PATIENT BUT I THINK IT'S IN THE STOMACH AREA'" - Amir
"Maybe you don't do as much housework as I'd like. But aside from that, you're a good girl, and I'm proud of what you're doing." - Mum to me
Christos's hypothetical situations get progressively wilder during a pancreatitits tute...
"Let's say there's a napalm bomb on the M5 and all the intensivists die."
"My grandfather once said to my dad 'Why have you put all this grass in your backyard? You can't eat it!'" - Mitchell
On Eid morning, we are running late for the morning prayer and Dad is just sitting in the driver's seat of the car, doing nothing while the engine runs...
Soondoos: Abbu, why are we not moving?
Istabraq: Maybe if we wait here long enough we'll be in time for next year's prayer.
Soondoos: You should make one (a pavlova), they're sooooooo much fun :| and unbelievably easy.
Sameer: I set a spatula on fire trying to boil water :(
As Dr. V takes blood for testing from a Yugoslavian lady who has come in with her son...
Patient's son: (To his mother) They're going to use this to make black sausage.
As I roll my eyes and throw to the back seat the cushion Mum uses to boost herself up in her car driver seat...
"Hey, don't diss my cushion." - Mum
"You know how Europe is just churches everywhere? My parents were like (Indian accent) 'Ah it's the same thing, Jesus here, Jesus there'." - Noble on the difficulty of getting his parents interested in his Eurotrip photos
"You can also insert a caval filter. If you can't anticoagulate the thrombi, you have to use this, I mean what are you going to do, let the patient die? You can't, that's not good." - Dr. I during a lecture on deep vein thrombosis treatment
Aakansha: Have you heard, apparently there's a Tetris 4D!
Tristan: How does that work?
Aakansha: Well you can see it from all four sides...
"Have you ever wished you could hire a grandma to knit you a sweater?" - Synthia
"Are you still robbing banks?" - Lady attending a Neighbourhood Centre Social Group comprising mostly older women
After I change my Facebook status to "Prof Hennessy the new Dean"...
"Appropriate. I heard she invented the kidneys. Then she invented kidney diseases just to keep herself occupied." - Mohan

"I do this. I say thank you to traffic lights, I apologise to cups..." - Sukhi muttering at inanimate objects
"If oil took on a human form, it would be Marc Antony." - Christina C after Giannina states he used to be a heart throb
"You're super lame. But yeah whatever I'll come to your lame-ass picnic. Maybe we can all hold hands and sing songs." - Charmy to Mitchell on the Post-Exam event Facebook page
Leon: Hey Sunny, how's it going?
Soondoos: It was going fine until you called me that.
Leon: What! You know I like to call you that.
Soondoos: Yes, but why?
Leon: Because of your disposition. It's an ironic name, you see. Like when I call large people "Tiny".
Sara: Oh hey Jan, you'll be a consultant next year, could I get a reference from you?
Jan: Yeah sure. I'll write it in Dutch, good luck.
"This is kind of embarrassing, but on Better Homes and Gardens..." - Eric
"Severus Waters will be the name of my firstborn son." - Mitchell
Hussain: He's a sweet guy, they're all really sweet.
Soondoos: Oh that's good, I could do with knowing a few more sweet guys.
Hussain: Oh, what? Am I not good enough for you, Soondoos?
Soondoos: Never enough, Huss.
Hussain: Really? 'Cause I gave a urine sample earlier today and there was glucose in it, that's how sweet I am.
Incidentally, I was to discover later that day that this was part of a hospital procedural skills tutorial and he had labelled his specimen "Huss's Golden Elixir of Life".
Sarfraz: Off topic, Germans ARE ridiculously attractive though.
Soondoos: They are not -_- They have blonde hair and big boobs and I'm into neither.
Sarfraz: No, screw the blondes - I'm talking about like the cute brunette ones... and the girls are pretty too :P
As Simon, Harshil and I tramp through the bush during Medcamp party night looking for a toilet...
Harshil: Where are we? Soondoos, where are the cabins? You should know.
Soondoos: Why would I know? I have no sense of direction!
Harshil: You know Soondoos, for a sober person, you're quite useless.
"You're not lactose intolerant! You're lactose indifferent." - Dave to Amir
For Making This Year What It Was, I Thank...
Abbir for dressing in colour and her amazing hugs.
Abbu because nothing changes the fact that you are still the most important man in my life and one of the biggest contributors to my character.
Abhinav for trying his best to meet up on the rare occasion he was in Campbelltown.
Abraar for his reliability and well-disguised caring, and making me laugh.
Adrian C for anecdotes and so wonderfully capturing the beautiful things in life.
Alexander for insight, engaging conversation and cheering me up on more than one occasion.
Alyce for that delicious selective hostility and never feeling like a stranger even though months passed between most of our encounters this year.
Amir for letting his good guy qualities substantially outweigh his derpy/High Boy qualities, and being so easy to spend time with. To be honest, I even enjoyed the derpy/High boy qualities :P BUT ONLY BECAUSE IT'S YOU, AMIR
Ammu for understanding, conspiring, cajoling, consoling, humouring, comforting, disciplining, amusing, bemusing, C-musing, believing and loving. You are a moral compass and a source of strength to every person lucky enough to call themselves a part of your life and I thank God half my chromosomes came from someone like you.
Anika for our memorable Skype conversations, helping me pick outfits and still being in my life in a year that has occasionally made it hard to keep the balance.
Andrew P for his outstanding exam preparation efforts and being such a lovely guy.
Ayman for her tips and tricks for our hospital rotations and having such a beautiful smile.
Barakah for her compassion and warmth and upholding the younger Raashed tradition of steadily outshining my achievements at our high school.
Betsy for such effortless, comfortable company.
Brian for that puppy-dog-on-uppers enthusiasm and always being so visibly delighted about just being able to say hi.
Charitha for sharing belly-aching laughter, the occasional tear, pelvic thrust salutes, many meals and your rather amazing bed. You appeared in my life out of nowhere, and I really hope you stay in it.
Christina S for being delightful on the rare occasions I have been able to see her this year.
Dave for his barrages of hilarious one liners and being a cool dude in general.
Denise for being the sort of person who can move 200 kilometres away and not have my feelings towards her change one iota. I never realise how much I miss you until we're together again, which is probably just as well because if I felt like that all the time it would make it somewhat harder to go about my day-to-day routine. You foresee what I would think in moral quandaries and synthesise my jumbled thoughts and have become an extension of my family - for all that and more, I thank you.
Eminem for reminding me why I admire him so much - few things are as life affirming as watching a master working at his craft.
Eric for consistent niceness and being a good sport when everyone engages in teasing/Eric-bashing.
Fareesa for dropping messages to say hi.
God for the blessings, the trials and the triumphs. Your love and mercy know no bounds and I am humbled every day by your generosity. Without you, I am nothing.
Hannah A for always brightening up my day whenever I bumped into her.
Harini for offering to share her sleeping bag with me at Medcamp and effortless conversations - it's a pity we didn't have more of them this year.
Harshil for her honesty, never being judgmental, having faith in me, letting me crash at her place so many times, and having the strength to improve things for herself and those she cares for. You are good and strong and courageous and it is a privilege to be touched by your love.
Humayun for his tactfulness, humouring me when I'm being stupid and the quiet but irrepressible reminders to work through obstacles because I have been blessed with far too much to give up so easily. You are an incredibly admirable person and I don't know what my year would have been without you. I am honoured to call you my friend.
Hussain for innovation and Arab humour.
Ibtisam for being like another sister, albeit one who actually enjoys my company.
Istabraq, because despite whining about my driving, getting her hands on a scarf I wanted to wear before I did on more than one occasion, telling me I look terrible in certain outfits and fooling my med friends into thinking she is cooler than me, she is someone I am proud to associate myself with.
Jaismine for her cheeky stories, laughter that comes from the belly and being such a gorgeous creature.
Joseph X because even though I've barely seen you this year, whenever I hear I will bump into you again I always get happy.
Khanh for not hating me even though I've been terrible at meeting up in person; dropping random messages to remind me she loves me and making me feel so blessed I've been able to call someone so special my best friend for ten years now.
Kyle for the unexpected friendship which sprung from a late-night OSCE freak-out. You've been wonderful help and great company so I hope that, in return, my lack-of-sleep ramblings are at least entertaining.
Lawson for his delightfully awful puns, valiant efforts to meet up and reminders during his busy life that I can still call him my friend.
Marcus for foresight, humour and good advice. Also for his lack of white man guilt, which makes being ethnic even more fun than it already is.
Matthew Knox for proactivity, commitment and level-headedness :P
Matthew S for being an excellent conversationalist.
Mitchell for being a steadfast friend - your ego boosts, music, counsel, comfort and willingness to declare yourself my bitch warm the cockles of my heart :P
Mubariz for your hilarious conversations and larger than life personality; you remind me of me but with chubbier cheeks, a dimple and enough attitude to put Queen Latifah to shame.
Mujahid for your beautiful smile, your ability to light up anyone's day with the simple goodness that shines out of you and showering me with love, occasionally even when you don't want my computer :P
Murabit for stepping up to the role of big brother so brilliantly, not only to your brothers but also to the rest of the family; your smartass quips and being such a genuinely good person.
Natasha for telling it like it is, unbridled laughter and being such awesome fun to hang out with.
Nilanthy for passion, motivation and Penrith stories.
Nimna for good cheer and company.
Patients and families for letting me into your lives and allowing me to listen, feel, poke and prod. I am grateful for your openness when you are in pain or bashful, at your most vulnerable and sometimes even in your last moments of life. There are times I feel jaded about the path I have chosen to take but they are only ever moments of doubt thrown up by a young, naive mind, dwarfed by the enormity of your desire to help me learn. Sincerely, thank you.
PROCRASTINATORS ALLIED: Aditya P, Aditya V, Parima, Ravi, Sandhya, Savitha, Shaon for the steady stream of dialogue, companionship and delectable selections from the smorgasbord that is the world wide web. I'm glad I can always find you guys in my inbox.
Rabbia for her combination of realism and optimism, elegant ripostes and those warm and welcoming hugs; I so wish I could see her as often as I used to.
Ravi for making such concerted efforts to stay in touch and letting me be part of his ridiculously busy life - I feel like we've grown up together, even though we only met in Year 7. I may be surrounded by brown folks now, but you will always be my original Desi friend.
Richard for his professionalism and the nice guy moments that make it so hard to dislike him for the not-so-tactful things he occasionally lets slip :P
Samia for her one-of-a-kind observations on life and the people in it, and being an excellent listener.
Sarah Q for unconditional loveliness.
Sarfraz for continuing to fool me into thinking he doesn't hear or remember a thing I say, before proving me wrong at unexpected moments and then gliding back into merry tales about his cereal and PS3 while I feel guilty for doubting him again.
Simon for being one of the most wonderful hospital partners I could have asked for - you provided knowledge, laughter and company, and motivation at times when I lacked it. I felt lucky to have a partner I could look forward to seeing every morning. I'm terribly envious of the people who get to spend next year with you but I'm hoping we'll now get to be friends outside the wards as much as we were while we were in them.
Sukhi for delightful eccentricities, effortless company both in global health ventures and outside of them and hugs as warm and satisfying as freshly baked choc chip cookies.
Synthia for being another one of the most wonderful hospital partners I could have asked for - our cafe lunches and outside-hospital food adventures felt how I'd imagine dates to be like, but without any of the tension or worry about what to do next because it was always just so easy. You have the ability to express yourself in words, in picture, in textile - everything you generate glows with your essence and that is something I admire greatly. Thank you for letting me into your life, I hope I get to stay.
Tamanna for hilarious Facebook posts that make me wish we didn't live so far from each other.
Tasnuba for the intentionally and unintentionally hilarious things she says and does, and improving the lives of those around her with the creativity brimming in her.
Tristan for checking up on me, sitting with me among my thoughts when I needed it and making me glad he is still in my corner.
UGI Team - I know it might seem a bit unusual to thank a hospital team in this list but I'm thanking this one because they were a big part of my year: they helped end my academic year with a bang and I loved every single day I was with them. Thank you for an unforgettable five weeks.
Viet for hilarity, good naturedness and genuine Westie swag.
Zainib for being such an inspiration.

[Sort of] owned a car. Driven without supervision. Owned a Mac. Started to make my dad understand that sometimes events don't finish before 9.30 p.m :P Attended a concert. Had my hands inside someone's open abdomen. Stayed up to watch an eclipse.
For this year: "Resolutions annoy me. It's almost as if they're made to be broken within the first month of the new year. I shall indulge my inner commitment-phobe and instead cite things that would be nice to achieve next year: Being an ace student - y'know, with long-term studying and application and all that. Be more patient with my family. And that's about as far as I'm willing to cite :P"
For next year: So the long-term studying and application thing went alright this year. Not amazingly, but alright, which was encouraging. Next year brings a whole new set of challenges though, and it's difficult to cite things that would be nice to achieve because I don't know what specifically needs to be achieved for me to consider the year successful. But I'll give it a shot. Things that would be nice to achieve next year: not becoming overwhelmed by the different facets of my life. Striving to do my best in every role and responsibility without compromising any of them. Better time management. Better practice and stronger faith.
Nope.
Nope.
I started my year in Bangladesh.
Better driving skills. The motivation to engage in voluntary physical activity. One or two new pairs of shoes. More T-shirts. Better practice to reinforce faith. The ability to do something new with the words that swirl around in my head.
I don't think I'm very good with dates, but if anything would be etched upon my memory it would be December 2nd: Eminem in Sydney.
Feeling ambitious again and wanting to do more than just get by. Interpreting challenges as tests to be completed and not as deterrents.
Failing my Ps twice and concerted lack of preparation for OSCEs.
Horrible post-motherland gastro at the beginning of the year which prevented me from eating or drinking for two weeks and kept me from half of the first conference week (a week comprising approximately 35 hours of lectures) and most of MiC O-Week which, in hindsight, was not such a bad thing :P
Combat boots and an FM transmitter to play my iPod in my car.
My family's, as always. Also my friends'.
The usual :P
Eminem.
Getting the Medsoc presidency, and now about doing good things with it. Also, seeing Eminem live, but I only let myself get excited about that once I was in the stadium :P
As usual, a list:
Somebody That I Used To Know (feat. Kimbra) - Gotye
Titanium (feat. Sia) - David Guetta
Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) - Katy Perry
Set Fire To The Rain - Adele
Anything by Eminem. Recurring theme, it appears :P
Happier. Admittedly also kind of scared and humbled - maybe it's being in a hospital full-time as a medical student, or just growing older, but I've felt very inconsequential and young on more than one occasion this year. I guess that's just a natural part of making a place for yourself in the world though - every somebody was once a nobody, after all. I have, however, been loving this whole independent emotions thing, as well as the idea of having ambition again. For most of my life I have wanted to become a doctor, but I don't think I realised when I was younger that my goals would need to one day be a little more specific :P It has been nice watching my preferences in medicine start to take on very rudimentary shapes, and seeing other people acknowledge that as well.
Study. It hurts when you fall short of a goal :P
Damaging my car's exterior. Wasting time.
Only in a very professional, non-romantic way :P
I really liked Downton Abbey! Suits was also enjoyable, as were the first few episodes of Raising Hope and the new season of Merlin (JUDGE ALL YOU WANT I DO NOT CARE). But golden oldies continue to feature strongly in my TV habits: I got through all of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, which was delicious, and my old Scrubs/Frasier/Friends rotation continues to serve me well.
There are people I disapprove of now that I didn't disapprove of this time last year, but I stand by what I've said in the past: you can only hate someone when you care about them. So by that token, no, I don't.
I have been on a subconscious books-for-pleasure embargo because the medical text variety has turned me off the medium as a whole. I did, though, read Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy to pass time on various plane journeys at the beginning of the year and they were gripping stories but not quite my cup of tea.
Lupe Fiasco. Having large expanses of free time during my MiC block at the year's start meant there was time aplenty to start from the very beginning of his discography and appreciate :)
My Ps. A car. A new computer. New shoes, albeit only one pair - but it is a pair that has been serving me very, very well. Consistent sanity.
More shoes.
The only film I've seen at the cinema this year is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, so I guess it wins by default? :P
A few days before the actual day, I went to see Fear of a Brown Planet's comedy show with a bunch of friends and then dinner+desserted at Newtown afterwards - it was a lovely night. On the day proper, I discovered my sister had put her Mitchell ownership privileges from Auction Night to use by getting him to dedicate a song to me at the Twilight concert. It started with the haunting words "You grew on me like a tumour". I turned 20.
Two more marks for my overall mark for the year at uni :P And not inflicting any battle scars on my car.
Anything that wasn't functional fell out of rotation and I pretty much lived in bed socks which, when outside the house, were hidden in different pairs of boots.
God. My friends. My family, when they weren't busy driving me insane :P Music. And, interestingly, food - should probably keep an eye on that, hey.
Who needs celebrities when you get to meet dreamboat doctors?
... I can't believe I just used the word "dreamboat".
The so-called Arab Spring has been intriguing to watch. While I welcome the disposing of tyrants I am unsure what the next steps will be, and if any good and lasting change will take place or the same system will remain but with new faces at the helm. At any rate, it is heartening to see that people power can be mobilised to eliminate wrong and can make things happen.
Annoying friends who moved to different cities and countries, and friends who were placed at hospitals other than my own.
I'm going to answer this question in two parts.
The best completely new person I met this year was Christos, the senior fellow on my last hospital rotation for this year. It's been a long time since I looked at someone and thought, wow, I'd like to be like you some day.
The best people to enter my life in a more tangible way, however, I actually met a few years ago but they only became part of my life this year. I tried to whittle it down to just one but it was too hard, particularly when I considered that putting the two of them together just doubles the fun. Anyway, Synthia and Charitha, if I were conceited enough to call this an accolade I would congratulate you but you both humble me by adding the laughter, warmth and love within you to my life so instead, I thank you.
I've started trying to be thankful more often. There is the typical thankfulness when things go unexpectedly right or I experience a success, but I've started trying it when things are just coasting, and sometimes even when things go wrong because the truth is they could have gone a lot worse. Apart from encouraging good fortune and God's mercy, it makes me feel like a more grateful and happier person, which is always a good way to be.
And one other thing: plans are overrated. To decide in advance exactly where you want to be at all times leaves little wiggle room and reduces your appreciation for the turns life can take. This year I came to this understanding when I realised my stance towards surgery as a career path had changed. I never considered it as an option before but this year has made me reconsider and re-categorise it - not as a definite goal, but at least as a "maybe".
I know that not everyone believes in fate, but it has always been one of the underlying principles of my existence. I have started to learn that fate, like truth, is unavoidable and unchangeable. Not because it is pre-ordained, but because my choices - MY choices - will fulfil it, just as pieces of a jigsaw puzzle will slot together in their given places to make a whole. Everything happens for a reason; the reason is always there, but my understanding and the events that lead to it are revealed - like the moon - only a sliver at a time.
"Because at the beginning there was the word; before that there was the unheard, the unseen
There is nothing past but the present, there is nothing past the past but the present
Just as the moon begins with a crescent, it seems that way but in that there is a lesson: the whole moon's always present, the whole moon's always present, the whole moon's always present, the whole moon's always present, the whole moon's always present, the whole moon's always present"
-- Truth Is, Amir Sulaiman
And we made it! Pat yourselves on the back :P Have a wonderful holiday and a magnificent new year with the people and places you love, you deserve it.
To 2011, it has been an absolute pleasure. And to 2012, I look forward to getting to know you soon.
Tata,
Soondoos
