Weekender

It's been a rather good week to say the least.
Assignments and tests are piling up slowly but surely.
Went shopping today straight after class.
Was looking for a comfortable pair of black flats. The lace one I had previously had torn at the sides (thanks to my gigantically broad feet) and the one pair I recently brought from home seemed smaller than when I'd last used them. Walked around for easily an hour looking for a pair that would catch my eye. Finally found one in Vincci. Also lace (don't ask me why I like lace I just do). Tried on their biggest size and it fit!
Went to Mango and looked around for a pair of beige slacks. Found a pair of cargo pants. Minus the pockets. Those big, baggy, comfy pants. Grabbed a U.S. size 6, since all my other pants from there are that size, only to come back and realize that it was way too big. TOO BIG I SAY. I should have settled for the dress I saw but no. I wanted the pants.
Gah.
Removed the button and adjusted it, making it tighter at the waist and folded the bottom and stitched it up.
At least my butt isn't floating in it so I'm pretty pleased with the outcome.
Went to Harris to make use of my book vouchers.
 This year the catch is to spend 80% of the vouchers on books and only 20% on anything else. AND you have to buy at least ONE academic book.
Whatever the catch I still managed to get the books I wanted. Hardly any Julia Quinn books available this time round which was very, very disappointing. 
Only found 'Minx'. The Bridgerton series was no where in sight. 
I'd read a number of interesting quotes by Oscar Wilde in 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' so I decided to give that a go. 
Deaver's 'The Empty Chair' was only seven bucks. From thirty plus to seven bucks I thought that was a steal and since Jauhie has told me so much about it I got that too. 
The last one by Trace Anne Warren is a new one I went for. I have this thing for romantic classics.
Lace.
Romantic classics.
I'm living in the wrong era.
Had my Starbucks fix and left.
A happy child am I.
:')
Leg still hurts when I walk. Haven't stopped limping yet. Was supposed to expose it two days ago but it was too painful so instead I got it bandaged hoping it'll heal a little bit more before I take it off again.
Anyway.
Cheers to the weekend guys.
Have a good one.
:)

It's Dr., Now!

It's been 10 days since my final professional exam & announcement of my results. I'm a doctor. & though I've been studying my entire life to reach this stage it still feels so surreal. It still feels like I need to head back south to continue with classes. Like I'm still on some semester break that is going to come to an end. Every so often throughout my day it hits me; I don't have to study anymore - for now at least. But then this though gets clouded over by other things & I forget. I have to constantly keep reminding myself that I've made it. I've actually, finally made it this far. As daunting as this whole new chapter - that's about to begin - is, part of me is excited to start. I'm excited to see where my future takes me, not only in which field of medicine I decide to pursue but also to which place. Big cities are out of the question for me. I realized, over the past couple of days, that since I've left th...

Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines

Part of me finds it very sad that my own parents don't know the kind of person they have brought up and raised. They see me as someone who is very selfish, dominating, as someone who bullies her sister, arrogant, impatient, unkind, not bothered, irresponsible. Someone who just doesn't care or give a damn. In my mind these past few years, a majority of my thoughts have been revolving around how I will be helping my parents out financially once I start earning. I might not earn much in the beginning. But I already know that chunks of my pay will be going towards my sister's monthly allowance as she will be in college by the time I start working, and also towards my parents, to settle off whatever bills they have. The rest of what I earn will be used for my other necessities and savings, etc. I never tell them this because I feel it is my responsibility as the eldest to do my part in this family. And when the time comes they will see what I'm doing. There's no ...

Dubai

Dubai was actually a layover. Since I have friends there I decided to spend a few days with them before flying out to London.  I took Emirates to and from Dubai & the UK & it was great. The unlimited wine was a major plus :P Only spent about 3 days in Dubai so I saw only a few of the major must-see spots.  My friend picked me up from the airport & we went to her place first. It was about 20 minutes away. More depending on traffic. Roads are very broad and each side has 6 lanes with a minimum of 3 on average. You see a lot of SUVs there. There's a lot of American influence. The UAE doesn't have their own national car.  It felt a lot like being in KL at first. Only after a while I started taking in the difference. Plenty of skyscrapers everywhere. But unlike KL, buildings here are built much closer together. & there is a LOT of development going on, still.  After washing up at home, we headed out to the Burj. The entrance is within th...
