Warning: don't be sick on August 1

Yup...that's what the Guardian Headlines screamed.
It was my last day today as a "baby" doctor. Suddenly tonight as i sleep, alongside with millions of other "baby" doctors, the transformation will occur, when we will wake up tmw as registered doctors (who apparently know stuff). I'm scared. I don't wanna be a "grown-up" doctor!

Today, in view of my last day at chav city...i did the following:
1. Bacon roll for breakfast. Ya-huh.
2. Ice-cream cos' its a really hot day
3. Move out 1 years' worth of stuff into my humble car...which did not explode!
4. Move back into the flat...with my possessions in garbage bags
5. Said good-bye to all the others
6. Shed 2..no, 3 tears.
7. Cannulated my fellow "baby" doctor cos she had cellulitis and required IV antibiotics, courtesy the on-call registrar
8. Handed over stuff the the person who will morph into me tmw at 0800hours...with words or wisdom like..." don't worry, it'll be fine..."
9. Have a run of palpitations cos i'm terrified of tmw!!!!!!

So, wish me luck for tmw, my homies...cos i'm scared!!!!!

Currently doing: Unpacking my stuff from bin-bags, before i forget and throw them out thinking it's trash.

Tick-tick-tock

I go back to work tmw, and start it by being on-call every day till next wednesday. How is that possible???

Currently doing: Enjoying the last of my short-lived regained "student" lifestyle of bua-long-longing and what best to complement it with a nice slice (or 2) of strawberry cheesecake, which, also happens to contain 400 calories per slice. Oh my life.

My week off has gone by too quickly!

Currently doing: Waiting for our take-away to arrive. Sam-siew-fan + loads of chilli oil..yummy... i wish i had someone to cook for me everyday!

Baking for Idiots

The simplest cake recipe ever on earth and probably has never failed.
Remember the 100 rule, and that's that.

Raisin Cake
100g flour
100g sugar
100g butter
100g raisins (alcoholics can soak raisins in amaretto)
and 2 eggs..erm, it's aga aga 100g lah.

Mix flour, sugar, butter and eggs together till smooth.
Add in raisins and stir.
Stick in pre-heated oven (220 degress celcius) for 20 mins or until golden brown.
Cake is ready to be eaten.
Yum.

Currently eating: Above said cake and a nice cuppa. O-o-h.

Bad haircut

I've got a summer ball to go to tmw, and i've just had my hair cut.
Now, I look 10 again. Damn. Don't laugh. It ain't pretty.
Currently thinking: Why did I listen to that silly hairdresser??? How long will it ever take to grow my bangs out??? aargh.

Life really is like a bed of roses, but only if you allow it

I got ID-ed today for buying alcohol again. The check-out lady did not believe I was 24. Today of all days where I had to be the most adult I've ever had to be in terms of decision making! If only she knew...Haha.

Adult life is hard. And it sucks big time too. Today GHW & I had the challenge of making proper adult decisions. Boy, it wasn't pretty. But after some quiet time, I took the moment to re-evaluate what that big hoo-ha GHW & I were to-ing and fro-ing about. All those tears, heated conversations, tachycardic episodes - what for? The lesson we've learnt since kindergarten sunday school still applies - God has a plan for each and everyone one of us. No matter what we do or what we say, if it ain't part of His plan, it ain't gonna work.

And the Bible still says the same thing. The very same memory verse that's been inked deep in our hearts - it just took a little harder to dig out today, that's all...

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4: 6-7.

3 hours after all that un-neccessary drama, I sit in my hall, smelling the roses, sipping my age-limit-okayed Pimms and think: It's great to be surrounded by family who love me and even greater to know that I've got a God who loves me. He who will always be there, who has a perfect plan for me, and who will never give me more than I can bear.

Currently: At total peace with myself. Now, i've got to work on that boy of mine!!!

Paw prints on my heart <3

Our darling Malty passed away this morning. She was going to be 12 in August, and had been a part of our family since she was a 2 month old pup. She was Mum's favourite - the one that never answered back!

Malty was a great dog and will be well missed by the family. May she rest in peace.

It's feeding time @ the Zoo

Poo!

Went shopping today and bought nothing after 6 hours.
How un-satisfying is that???

Currently doing: Sulking big time. Ka-poo-ey. =(

Drama-Rama

What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Drama Nerd You sure do love the spotlight and probably have a very out-going and loud personality. Or not. That's just a stereotype, of course. Participation in the theatre is something to be very proud of. Whether you have a great voice for musicals, or astounding skills for dramas/comedies; keep up the good work. We need more entertainment these days that isn't television and video games (not that these things are bad, necessarily.)

Shock & Horror

Today I had breakfast. A fresh hotdog roll, with a succulent jumbo Herta frankfurter, topped with ketchup and mustard. It was fantastic.

Then i looked at the nutritional info.

1 jumbo frankfurter contains a freaking 254 calories. and 22.5 g of fat!!!

Crap! i'd rather drink 3 glasses of rose.

P.S don't get me wrong, i'm not an alcoholic. but surely 1 frankfurter does not give that much satisfaction to cost that much.

P.P.S. GHW can have the other 3 frankfurters in the pack. I'm so off them now.


Currently thinking: Lunch will have to consist of broiled chickpeas to compensate for breakfast. Either that, i could go shopping for clothes 1 size bigger.
