It’s Good to be Home

Hi guys! Sorry for the lack of updates. I unsubscribed P1 because the reception was too bad and TM hasn’t installed the phone line at our place yet, so I’ve been pretty much detached from the virtual world for the past 2 weeks. There’re computers on campus but when I’m using them, it usually involves doing research for school. And I think I haven’t been doing enough because I still feel so stupid. Actually I feel stupider each day so I guess that means I gotta hit the books real soon. Or start visiting the wards more often, or both.

I’m back at home now so it’s all good. For another 3 days or so anyway. It’s Chinese New Year and I’ve done SOME visiting but not much. It’s that time again when I don’t feel like doing anything AT ALL. All I want to do is sleep. Isn’t that what everyone should be doing during the HOLIDAY anyway? I’ve got some serious sleep debt to pay because I’ve been waking up before 7.30 almost everyday since school started and that’s not cool at all.

Oh! But my car arrived in JB So that’s a license to wake up a bit later I was so thrilled because it means no more having to coordinate my time with everyone else’s! Although I don’t fancy driving that much, I enjoy being able to go wherever I want whenever I want to You have no idea how stoked I am to not have to depend on other people/taxis to get to my destination. But I think I have to be more careful on the road though. JB ROADS (not so much the drivers) SUCK BIG TIME! The road plans are sooooooooooooo bad I don’t know which brainless punk would’ve been ignorant enough to have come up with them. The roads make driving there so much more dangerous.

Oklah I am QUITE a dangerous driver too and I bet Daniel (and his brothers) would agree on that. Along with like everyone else who has sat in my car but………….. I promise to start loving the act of braking more

I wish I could show you how the hospital looks like but I don’t have any photos. It’s pretty huge. Walking from the wards to the campus makes me a little breathless because it involves climbing a hill. The campus is… small. But rather cosy EXCEPT the containers. I don’t know what politics are going on between Monash and the hospital but hello we are kind of paying 42K per semester… don’t they think we deserve to study in proper rooms at least? Please?

ANYWAYYYYYY, other than school I’ve also been cooking quite a bit. This was our little pre-CNY lunch last Friday before everyone flew home:

Guess which dish(es) was/were prepared by me! Not the raw salad with no dressing please I’m not a slacker. Not the scrambled eggs either I am not that boring We thought we would have a lot of leftovers (biasalah I was the one who bought the ingredients wth) but we finished almost everything! Except some chicken in the tomyam soup.

Haven’t had the chance to explore eateries that much because I’m still gung-ho about cooking myself but Dan and I went to Lazio at Danga Bay the other day and I quite like it there! I’ll make sure I go back again, with my camera

I went to Lavender Bistro for Hui Ruan’s birthday too. Will blog about it soon. Meanwhile, here’s a photo of me with the birthday girl

Went to Singapore twice! Once with my family. The other time with Evonnebabe, Jun Yet, Grace & Jo. Spent most of my half-day at Science Centre for the Body Worlds Exhibition (which was like an artsy Anatomy Museum) and squeezing amongst the sea of people at Bugis Street with Niyi and Grace. Evonnebabe and Jun Yet decided to ditch us after they cleared their pockets at Orchard

Grace & I in the MRT.

Definitely going back to Singapore again soon. There seems to be so many places I haven’t explored and I wonder how that’s even possible because Singapore is so tiny! Should refrain myself from shopping though because the Great Singapore Sales is only a few months away

I shall stop here and come back with photos once I’ve finished editing them.

Happy Chinese New Year! And belated Valentine’s Day!

That’s all!

ps. Have you guys watched Valentine’s Day?? Who else thinks the Taylors were a total waste of film? I can’t even remember what happened to them in the end.

Cya!
