Need to go sleep...
I've been told that I'm getting fat/putting on weight so I need to go exercise and eat less. Blek :P WTF.
On the other hand, have been perusing Aizat's blog @ http://daylist.blogspot.com/ Haven't been there in quite a while. Lots of interesting past entries. Lol.
Going to sleep now @.@ 8.30am neuroradiology meeting tmr. Goodness, if not for u Imaan, I'd still be in bed being a lazy ass. Thx babe, appreciate ur enthusiasm!! ^_^
Oyasuminasai minasan ;o)
Update on latest happenings...
Wow. I've been lazy in posting new entries. Again. Lolz. So what else is new right? ;D
Quite a few things have happened, including Malsoc's M-nite volunteers bbq party, & Malsoc's bowling tourney, which I didn't go for because I went on a road trip in a 7-seater car woo-hoo!
Went on road trip last weekend with all the others who either (i) have no exams, i.e. us 4th years hehehe [Imaan, Vix, meself, does Jas & Alvin count too? lolz]; (ii) are working so got extended weekend due to bank holiday weekend [Edwin, Sarah]; (iii) have not been to Alton Towers b4 [all of us!]... Alton Towers had spring sale so tickets were going for only £18 online, which were decently cheap lar. Went on a grand total of 9 rides in the 7 hours that we were there, so each ride averaged around £2 each. Not too bad actually! My fav rides were Air and Rita Queen of Speed (although the latter did make me ever so slightly nauseous lolz). Of course, having fantastic company and fun people to hang out with definitely helped!
On the way down south from Newcastle, we stopped at Sheffield (met up with Sharon, who looks really healthy and chilled!! ^_^), then went to Buxton, one part of Peak District (where we had Mr Solomon Mycock of Buxton's surname as the word-of-the-day lolz), then finally stopped off at Notts to spend the night, where we met up with Mun Yan & Seow, just to name a few ;) Barged in on their studies for exams a couple of weeks away, but we were quite desperate lah for place to stay. It was quite cool I felt, managed to meet up with all these people who were supposed to come up to Newcastle during Easter but tak jadi (re: Sha & Mun Yan). Fate has a way of intervening eheh..if it's meant to be, it's meant to be >.<
KMYSians reunited at Peace Gardens in Sheffield : Viks, Sharon, meself, Jas & Imaan
7 - lucky number? Viks, me, Jas, Imaan, Alvin, Edwin & Sarah
5 pretty maids in a row? Winter gardens in Sheffield - Imaan, Jas, Sha, me & Sarah
Beautiful day at Peak District
KMYSians reunited in Notts - that's where all the babes are! >.< (Clockwise from top L): Maya, Mun Yan, Imaan, Jas, Sarah, me, Seow & Elina
Nemesis behind us - slightly overrated, me thinks! Air was nicer!!
The happy people before Ripsaw - dry!
The same 7 after ripsaw - soaked! & cold! lolz
Having fun drying off in the haystack! A bit too much fun...? .>_<. For more photos, go to my facebook:

Doing my 3rd and final SSC in Neurosurgery now. Quite relaxed and chilled, both the rotation itself and my supervisor lolz. Quite free and easy, and we only go in for half days on most days ;D Plus, we get to see brain surgeries too. Although they probably sound more interesting than they probably are, for medical students at least. Sure, we get to see the odd bits and bobs of brain or spinal tissue, but most of the time in theatre we just tend to observe and try not to get in anyone's way lolz. It's too complicated for us to do anything so we don't scrub up anyway, and the surgical incisions are mostly quite small, so you can't really see anything until the surgeon 'beckons' you over to explain what he's done or what we can see at that moment in time. AND it doesn't help if you're short...like me :P Last Wednesday's surgery was quite nice though, as the surgeon used a microscope halfway through the operation, so we could actually see everything happening on the big clear tv screen projected from the microscope. And this particular patient had Von Hippel-Lindau disease, whereby she gets multiple benign tumours in her head and some other parts of her body...this is her 3rd time having brain surgery to remove a tumour from her cerebellum in the last 20 years! And all by the same neurosurgeon lolz!
(Later -->[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Hippel-Lindau_Disease] wiki is soooo useful!)
Cooked dinner for my housemates + 1 today (+1 = extended housemate = future housemate) to give them a good dinner while they're busy studying for their finals now. A wee bit ambitious, but everything turned out decent and only about 15-20mins late! lolz. We had 'steamed water egg', fried fish with nyonya-styled sauce, fried chicken with breadcrumbs with plum-sauce (which turned out remarkably like lemon chicken...-ish...), stir-fried spinach with salted fish, and jeng jeng jeng, curry mutton!! My very first ever time cooking mutton (well, sheep shoulder, in this case :D ), and it turned out, well, edible! lol. And best of all, most of the food was finished!! With a little bit of mutton and 1/3 piece of chicken left. Yeay!! Too bad no pictures to record this 'feat' of cooking all done in a span of 2 - 2.5 hours, alone! eheheh... But have to thank Kah Yin for bringing cake and helping to wash up some of the dishes :)
Ooh, also went for 2-for-1 mussels at Bar Luga this afternoon for lunch with Imaan, Alvin & Viks. Yummy yummy yummy!! The boys organising BBQ this weekend me thinks. Wah...need to exercise liao. All the weight I 'lost' during my 3-day diarrhoea marathon last weekend has been piled back on! Nooooooooo...................
