HC Night Comm Reunion (:

Don't really have that many pictures because the lighting was not too good. Plus i dont really like using flash.

Feeling too bloated now to go to bed 'cos I just stuffed myself with TONS of icecream, doughnuts (tesco custard doughnuts rocks!), loads of fried rice, sausages, chips and cheese, honeydew sago, teriyaki chicken, and more than 10cups of sprite and lemonade. That's pretty much the spread of food that we had at our HC Night Comm Reunion. And since most people were too tired to eat much, i really meant it when I said i would help myself ;) haha.

But it was really nice meeting up with the whole bunch of them. So down to earth, so real, and so... chinese high boy-ish. Cracks me up really, and makes me feel like I'm in another place and time altogether.

It's a real nice feeling (:

Of the people in London that I miss.

I'm insane. They are in london, and I miss them.

A ride on a beautiful Rainbow (:

My essays are finally ALL SUBMITTED (: And meaning that my weekend's gonna be free, which is really quite a surreal feeling. Havent felt this free in a real long time, and Im quite looking forward to going home (or maybe its the only thing on my mind). No wonder, my coursemate was saying that the last week is gonna be painful (I would think its worse for him 'cos he wont be going home).
But oddly, Im starting to not mind lectures. In fact, I quite like sitting alone in the back and observing people. It allows me to stone when I want to, and listen whenever I please (which I try hard to do most of the time). And since I dont know the people around me well enough, I tend not to talk to them (and also cos most of them are couples doing interesting things and it would be quite rude to disturb). Of course, there are some whom i can chat to between lectures which makes it a really nice balance. I hope things can stay this way till the end of the year :) It would really be a nice way to end my first year of med.

Im looking forward to HCN Comm Reunion dinner this coming weekend, though it seems like its not very confirmed since Jingzhi, whose hall we planned to use, wont be able to make it on Sat. I pity Poor Minshin who got arrowed to coordinate this ;)
And of course, to the coming of stef. I love having her around, cos with her, i'll be able to convince her to eat anything with me. (I have another bought of craving for kebabs again!) Plus esther might be coming down on monday and staying over since we are planning to catch Avenue Q together. Lovely!

Seems like all good things tend to come together? (: How nice.

Rockin' Good Day (:

I think I had a wonderful day, despite the fact that I had thought it would suck.
Considering that I thought that my SSC Essay on was due today and that I had a GP visit in ZONE 4 today (which meant waking up early plus forking out an expensive tube fare).
Plus I hardly had any sleep the last few nights, and was kinda getting through my day by gulping down loads of coffee (which has an annoying side effect of making my heart palpitate like mad).

The GP visit this morning was surprisingly fantastic. The doctor that brought us around was really charming (makes me glad Im a medic). He graduated from Cambridge, and definitely has the look of it. The visit was made even nicer cos I had a blast of a time working with my partner this time (: Which is smthing rather rare, cos somehow I dont think Im getting along too well socially with the general Brit/ EU population. (He's a Brit Indian. And somehow the indians here look way better. Beats me why too.)
While we were waiting to sit in with the nurse, we started talking about all sorts of stuff from ponning school to go thorpe park to extreme sports and holiday plans. And maybe because I have a lot more time for myself while I'm here, I tend to slow down and appreciate little things more. It really makes my day when I walk to school in the morning and the weather is lovely or when I'm able to have these little chats with people whom I otherwise wouldnt have the chance to speak to.
And very unfortunately, Im bound by confidentiality clauses not to speak of my patient. But she was a really lovely and friendly lady who was very forthcoming and candid during our interview with her (:

After the session, I rushed back to continue working on my Asperger Syndrome Essay and had to leave soon after that for SSC, meaning that I DID NOT SEND BABE OFF :( Which made me feel like a rather bad host.

After which, I found out during SSC that my essay was not due till monday, which made me feel cheated 'cos Jamie was telling me on wed noon that it was due today, making me rush through it (and not be able to spend my last day with babe properly). But at least its 90% done.

When I came back, i was greeted with a nice tidy room (thanks house elf!), no milo smell (cos babe was gone :( ) and a lovely sweet note and a ROCKIN' MUSCULAR SYSTEM OF THE BODY POSTER that i had wanted for so long! (Ok, i guess you probably wont be able to appreciate it unless you are a medic.)
AND, to top that off, i received a mail from thailand from Yush telling me how well she has been!

Rocking gooood day, and Im a bit groggy now, cos Kelv managed to disrupt me from my sleep. But no complaints, cos he bought me paper and fresh orange juice ((((:

Oh, and my hall had ocean pie (i miss seafood!) and mashed peas and delicious rice and cream of cauliflower soup and this rocking good lemon cheesecake pie (which i had more than 1). I think its abit too much for a single meal. But oh well, Im happy now at least.

Another essay due tmr, it's 60% done and Im looking forward to the coming of tmr 'cos it would mean the end of all these work and perpetual tiredness. AND THE COMING OF STEF, HC night reunion and most importantly,
home.

And things just cant look better (:

OHOHOH, and Chernwei just told me that Eleco camp is on 4th April, meaning that I WOULD BE ABLE TO GO FOR IT!

Please just let this good spell continue. I'm lovin' it totally.




PS. MEIX: I miss Potong Pasir food too. If you want to come and study with me, I can buy you food for free ;) And going to the gym doesnt gimme hot bod, cos i eat correspondingly more. Not good at all.

Our Island lah!

Daryl, singer and star of the night.

Lionel, as Sang Nila Utama.

Mark, as the great Raffles.

Lionel, assuming his 2nd role, as a Japanese soldier, Yamato, in love with a local.

Daryl, singing Merdeka (freedom for Singapore) in one of my favourite scenes.

Mark and Lionel, again, with their 3rd roles as chairmen of Raffles Holdings and Yamato Industries.

Xue Kun as the Towkay.

YahTing as the Samsui Woman.

Yes, unfortunately most Singaporeans are really terrified of the police.

With preuk, my thai hallmate, and Daryl, The Star of the Night. He blew me off totally.

With Lionel. And some very unglamourous and silly peeps at the back.

With lovely Mark, still in his Raffles costume. He prbly cant get enough of it.

With Sophia, my yearmate. She was photographer for the night.

IC Singsoc's Major Production (Our Island Lah!) was totally amazing. For one I didnt know Daryl could sing THAT well. The pieces composed were amazing. And it was really fun watching Lionel and Mark. Plus being the Singaporean I am, I truly enjoyed all the spoofs of the antics of Singaporeans (and some of our gvt). Sometimes I wish I was part of smthing like this, but part of me know that I prbly have had enough of Council-ish stuff like this, and considering that I am already struggling now, it would be wiser to concentrate on work. I guess, the only thing Im missing from being part of smthing so grand as this, is the friends that I would be able to make.


I think its really late at night now, and Im supposed to be working on my essay. But Ive decided to take a break since Im not progressing anywhere anyway. Really doesnt help that i have another (harder) essay to start on.

Babe has been bunking with me these few days because she lost her passport on her way to Northern Ireland. And embarrasingly, she has now morphed into my house elf cos she prbly cant stand the mess in my room anymore. She's currently now curled up in my bed sound asleep, and Im wishing I could do so too. (A thought i have been contemplating since Im not very productive now anyway.)

I think I might have Tropophobia. It really beats me why I keep living in the past.

Carbs Craving.

I have been getting addicted to all sorts of carbo recently- rice, bread, noodles, biscuits. Beats me why too, because normally girls have cravings for sweet stuff and chocolate (which I hate). Speaking of which, Im actually craving for a pao now. Even the one from London's Chinatown can do, thats how badly I want it actually.

Babe came down to London for a short while about half hour ago to drop her luggage, and bring me my long-overdue kimchi and some kimchi noodles. And the kimchi noodles which I just had was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. But only after I finished the whole pack, slurping up all the soup that I realised that 1 pack of that has sodium content that is 100% of the recommended daily value. So im planning to donate the remaining packet to instant food boy, and not tell him of the health hazards till he down it all muahaha.



Its my birthday in a slightly more than a week, and oddly (and sadly too), Im not looking forward to it too much. But at least it'll be home a few days after that, and I'll be back in sunny singapore.
Back home in my lovely neat bright room, lovely queensized bed, lovely clean bathroom, lovely homecooked food, and loveliest family and friends.
Alas, it would be hanging out and having fun instead of, socialising (:
It amazes me even to know how little it matters to me now to have loads of friends and a decent social life, and how unwilling I am to even bother being wacky, when it came so naturally to me last time.

Insomnia.

What bugs me the most about staying in a hall is that you have to put up with absolute nonsense from your hallmates, like listening to them scream the F word down the corridor at midnight. And it really doesnt help that Im suffering from a serious bout of insomnia these few days, and have been trying to go to the gym enough to help shag me out so that I can rest properly at night but these jokers just come and spoil it all. And also, I hate the F word most of all vulgarities.

Sighs, and when I try to make the best out of being awake anyway, then it ruins my gym plans of staying healthy cos I tend to get exceptionally hungry in the wee hours, and snack on all sorts of junk, putting my kidneys on overdrive.

And I shall try to catch some sleep now,
Thank goodness there is 11pm lecture tmr.
