Enjoying Summer!

Pardon the sporadic updates, just that there isnt very much exciting stuff going on in my life cept for shopping eating and enjoying summer.

Checked out DimT with Rae ytd. Without the 2for1 voucher, its pretty ex (about 8quid for a Pad Thai), but it was nice. Waiting time was bad, we sat about for like more than 30mins for Pad Thai and Tom Yum (which doesnt look too hard to dish out). Portion's not huge but enough to fill me up. The ambience was great though, they opened their slider screen doors so that the sun from outside could stream in and there's fresh air, which was awesome. I absolutely love summer.

Headed down to Westfield (sadly, its my first time) and it was beautiful! I love the way its so spacious and clean and green. And they have awesome toilets, which speaks volumes about the place. It reminds me of vivo, just bigger with more shops. Though few had discounts, which was a pity. Which is why I think I prefer Oxford Street despite the mess and crowd cos I just love the thrill of nabbing a good find ;)

Going down to Oxford (the university town, not the shopping street in London) later with Rae, to visit Babe and Josie and Charm and Esther. Im excited! The weather's gorgeous (and hopefully will stay so), and Im hoping to maybe go punting or sit in the sun and read a good book with Moo Moo's Milkshake! C'est la vie ((:

Finally finished planning all the transport stuff for Czech, quite looking forward to it cos from some pictures it does look beautiful. Im hoping it would be a chillaxing fun trip ...
Just before i come back for results day. Gulp.

Ciaooo!

My attempts to keep myself from freaking out about Results Day.

This blog is supposed to be revived after my exams, but because Im still tapping UCL's roamnet from my room (meaning that i only get a teeny bit of duper slow net once in a little while) and that im so caught up with retail and good food therapy, Ive been finding it pretty hard to sit myself down to type anything.

But yes, Ive been combing oxford street and getting myself qte some good buys and picking up presents for people whose bday fell during the horror exam period. Quite proud of the couple of jeans and sweaters that i managed to get from Uniqlo (ok make it loads, considering i went mad with the colours they have and got qte a few for friends as well, just only 'cos i wanted all the colours but could not justify getting, it for myself), and shoes from Topshop, more shoes from Primark (yes they actually have some pretty nice shoes this season!), loads of stuff for my fam, a dress and top for Clinics (if i pass year 2 that is) from Dorothy Perkins and loads of random small stuff from here and there. And im so going to nab that summer bag from Gap (((:
Havent had such awesome retail therapy since ... see its so long tt i cant remember!

Ohoh and ernieee, if you see this please tell me if you are up for daring colours. I was so tempted to get you smthing more fun :P But i kinda realised that you arent dj eh?

And for those people are looking for good food at good prices ...
1. Zizzi's like one of the most awesome place ever! The staff at the branch in charlotte street are super friendly and the ambience is great and the food is really satisfying!
2. Garfunkel's coffee is wayy better than starbuck's or nero, and a large cup (eating it) is not much more than starbucks. And its pretty shiok sitting out there in the sun and watching the world go by.
3. Four Seasons at Bayswater is still better than the one at Chinatown, so if you can help it, make the trip down.
4. Inn Noodle is surprisingly good.
5. M&S's white choc cookie is addictive. Dont start on it unless you are prepared to finish like 3 at a go.
6. London's Pizza Hut (the one are Marble Arch at least) tastes 3x better than Singapore's. And def beat Pizza Express hands down (sorry!).

Seeing Lucy to coach her with her Chinese orals tmr, and meeting Rae for Inn Noodles again.
Off to Prague with Prisc in a couple of days and rushing to make some last minute bookings, and packing my room and moving house meanwhile.
Its nice to be busy about non- academic stuff really :)

Exams Out!

Its over, its finally overrrr! (((:
The worst week of my 21yrs of life is over!

And now people, cross your fingers for me that I dont have to go through it again. Im looking forward to entering CLINICSSS.


Its time for partyyyy.

A whole new light.

I know Im supposed to be working, but this thing caught my eye as I was clearing emails:

Dr Geraldine Atkinson who graduated from UCL Med School died of a cyst forming in her brain. Her family is now raising money for Kith and Kids, a charity she supported and selling her old books.

It just reminds me of how fragile life is.
I can just imagine how devastating it must be for her family. Maybe its cos Im doing what Im doing and seeing everyday how many ways in which life could be taken; or in wake of my granddad's death, the first death of a person i knew personally, Ive come to be terribly afraid of death.

I totally understand when my epidemiology lecturer said that teenagers think that they are immortal, 'cos i used to be as such. But i see myself growing old (sadly) and sometimes I have freak random thoughts that someone in my family is going to cancer or meet some accident. Morbid eh? And when i take plane rides, the thoughts that cross my mind are of those that the plane can potentially crash or get hijacked.

While its time to return to working, now Im counting my blessings that Im actually given the shot at becoming a doctor. Makes me so much less miserable as I memorise drug names ((:

Good luck to those who are preparing for exams too!
