Mad Dash
With the spontaneity of a pneumothorax (the spontaneous kind), I made a mad dash to the shop across from where I was seated, five minutes before it was due to shut, five minutes before I was due to board my plane.
And I bought something for a good friend of mine, something she would want, rather than something she NEEDED. I mean.. does one really NEED anything from the duty-free designer shops...
Disappointments
Life was never ever going to meet my expectations. I’ve set them too high. I’m going to learn now that if you expect something out of ANYTHING, you’re going to be disappointed. Never expect, never EXPECT anything. That shall be my motto for a while until something comes along and makes me believe again.
I’ve been clearing out my room, lots of clothes that I don’t...
Firebombed.
That’s quite a strong word actually, evoking violent fiery images. And inside that church, it probably was. Violent and fiery.
As I’m quite remote from Malaysia and its happenings at the moment, being in my little bubble here, when I saw videos of the protests being held in the mosques on the malaysia kini website, I got kind of freaked out.
I was shouting on the phone to Marie that...
Going to work in the morning!

Look! the top bit of the windshield is clear, like someone used a squeegee and cleared a bit of ice! ithink they did. must be the meter men. checking to see if i’ve got the right tax/parking permit. why they couldn’t do the whole car.. i don’t know :(
so took the spray out and used it! along with very useful scraper! woot.

My long day
It seems like a recurring theme, my waking up early. Other than consuming obscene amount of food, I also attended every teaching session today. So from 9.45am until 6.15pm (minus snack time, lunch time, tea time, coffee break)… I participated in something involving cardiology. Yay.
In clinic this afternoon, I was asked to examine a patient and present my findings.
Ah yes, scary. But I did...
Doh! Suan: Sleet-maker
Everyone knows where I’m from. I go on and ON about how much I love the warmth (weather, and people too!) in Malaysia. So, a funny story. I come back on Sunday evening from Malaysia to a really really cold London. I kid you not. I fall asleep at 10pm, all bundled up like a Michelin woman. The heating in my house just does not cut it.
Monday morning, I’m up at 530am because of jetlag...
Mandatory New Year Blog Entry
I am writing from my very cramped personal space on the plane. I can’t sleep. I didn’t bring any Stilknox with me this time. So I’m not blissfully asleep. Alright, who am I kidding.. I ran out! I ran OUT! It doesn’t matter if I sound like a depraved deprived drug addict. The positive thing about this is that I didn’t get any more! I think I should be pretty proud of that. I don’t know how I’m...
Upon admiring a photo montage of good friends on...
Girl to her mum : mummy.. see, this is what I want! (refering to photo montage..)
Me (eavesdropping) : what, you mean friends??
Did not get the response I wanted.. : (
