I think I’m becoming more and more impatient each day. Even the tiniest things manage to ignite my anger and annoyance. I don’t know what it is but I blame it on the weather. And the lack of air-conditioning.
So much for wanting to spend 5 minutes filling up this virtual space every day. Seems like 5 minutes here couldn’t beat 9 hours in bed. I was dead beat last night for some unknown reason.
Maybe it was the anti histamine. Which I took because I was scared that I would get an anaphylactic shock from the very yummy lunch I made for myself – egg fried rice with luncheon meat It’s a super simple dish which I think is very time efficient and super yummy if you’ve got the skills (like I do *coughs out blood*)! Too bad I’m allergic to eggs =.=
Oh and since watching MasterChef Australia, I’ve been paying more attention to how my food is presented on a plate, even though I’m the only one eating it wth. So my simple fried rice looked like this:
Okay so it’s not that pretty. The thing is, as much as I like my food to be served nicely, I like them to be served hot too. So after 5 seconds of trying to arrange the different random things on the plate, I usually just give up and snap a photo of whatever’s on it.
I made dinner too! And it looked kinda really super duper bad.
But it is damn yummy! It was black pepper mutton cubes with Prego salad. I shall buy more of those diced meat because they’re so easy to cook! And they’re like.. boneless.. like.. woah wth.
Oh and yesterday when I was in my car, I heard the song that I’ve been trying to remember for ages now! It’s a song which was playing everywhere in Aussie when I was there. Went to YouTube it immediately and was so excited to listen to the song in full for the first time.
It’s super bubblegum pop actually but I think her voice suits the song perfectly. And she’s the annoying little girl from School of Rock which came out like… almost 10 years ago! Damn she’s all grown up now. Makes me feel ancient =.=
Bah. Only 1 class tomorrow woohoo! Gotta run some errands!
Okay I think I’m going to make it a point to spend 5 minutes here everyday to talk about something. Most probably my everyday life.
I almost died when I stumbled upon a lecturer’s website – yes, it was a full blown WEBSITE FOR CHRIST’S SAKE! – and felt so ashamed that he blogged more than I do. Kinda. And he has his own domain too OMG WHAT IS THIS WORLD BECOMING?
Anyway, I’ve been slacking way too much these few days. As much as I wish that life would go on like this forever, I’m aware that things are about to get uglier. And judging from my understanding of the content of the unflipped page of Browse’ , I won’t be aptly prepared.
For some reason, I’ve been procrastinating a lot again. Wanted to go to the wards this morning and even woke up early but when I did, I suddenly didn’t feel like going anymore. Told myself I would go in the afternoon but got locked out of the apartment and couldn’t get prepared before all the patients get occupied with their dinners.
And so I decided to make my own dinner tonight. Which made me miss a good half of Music & Lyrics, which I’ve been looking forward to the entire week. Dinner was pretty good though Except the tempura mix of my first batch of chicken didn’t rise very well. Or at all.
I think I’m going to get screwed tomorrow. So I think I’ll try to minimise the possibility of that.
Contrary to popular assumption that the highlight of my Australian adventure was the retail therapy, I actually loved the climb to the top of the Pinnacles at Grampians the most! Can’t wait to show you guys the photos (how many times have I said this ah?)
School has started and although we unexpectedly had to clerk patients for bedside on the very first day, the rest of the week turned out to be pretty relaxing.
I had no class the entire day today (okay except wards rounds which aren’t compulsory ) and out of the 3 classes I was supposed to have yesterday, 2 were canceled. And I only had one 5-6 pm class on Wednesday! Because of that, I’m loving my surgical posting!
I am ashamed to say that I would love to spend the rest of my time living my life the way it is. Yesterday I managed to watch 6 episodes of Glee, which isn’t very good actually if you judge it as a show but there are some really good singers in there!
I think I’m still leveling off from the peak of activity and walking and running after buses in the hustle and bustle of the cities of Australia so now I am negatively inclined to do anything at all. Let’s just hope this doesn’t carry on for too long!
Took this self-portrait at Bondi Beach and I loved the blue skies. But on second thought, it looks like the typical background of passport photos =.= I made two trips to Bondi Beach in Sydney – once without my camera, once without a 2nd-person photographer. I wish I’d bought a deep fried Mars Bar the 2nd time around though. It is sooooooooo sinful!
I hope I’ll be back here soon again because I want to blog more this semester! I shall leave you guys with this colourful photo
as a preview of what’s to come in my life (hopefully)!
