Umm. Lanterns & Locks?


First week of second year has come and gone.
Our lecturers are pretty good but the best one has got to be Dr Kishore for Pathology.
My God he's an absolute genius.


His jokes are so witty, so intellectual. "It's painfully annoying but I'll try my best to make it (Pathology) amusingly entertaining." 
He doesn't come in with anything. Just a marker pen. No slide notes, no power point presentations, nothing. He either just sits down in front of the class and talks and talks and talks or he fills up the whole board with information we need to know. That's it. And his analogies are soooo easy to understand, relate to and remember.


Really hope he stays 'till the very end and doesn't leave us halfway to go back to India.
Fingers crossed.

Money seems to be running out faster than water these days. Bills, groceries, stationery, photocopied notes, books and so many other things to buy and get sorted.
Things have been so hectic this week.
We celebrated Lantern Festival last night. Well if you consider walking around carrying lanterns a form of celebration then yeah that's what we did. Heh.

After walking around with the smaller lanterns we lit up the bigger ones (that reminded me of mini hot air balloons) and we released them into the night sky (If anyone studying Literature were to read this the first thing that should come to mind here is 'Poetic License').
Anyway.
Have started working out again after months. They've finally put in 2 treadmills *starry-eyed*.
There's also a 4 station exercise machine that they've repainted, reupholstered and re-sprayed so it looks brand new and better stationary bicycles to use as well.
All the basic equipment but it's way cooler than it used to be. Waaaay cooler.
Was carrying the printer out this morning and accidentally padlocked the grill door without taking my set of keys off the dining table. The car keys were already in my bag so I went off to class anyway and started making phone calls to locksmiths and finally I called up the apartment office asking if anyone could help cut the lock.
By about 12pm I was back inside again with a new lock. This time one which requires the key to be IN the lock when locking and unlocking.
I tell you the things that I've had to go through on my own these past 2 years.
Lol.
Well cheers to the weekend!
It's movie night with the girls.

To Date

Very happy to say that I've settled nicely into the new place. Everything's set up and unpacked and it finally feels like home. Everyone's very friendly here. So helpful. Traffic isn't that bad. Places are close by. We get everything we need. The only downside is that there's no cinema here. Which means I'll be traveling up north frequently now and I can't wait. This semester doesn't exactly seem like a particularly busy one so am really looking forward to some traveling.  Just finished watching Northanger Abbey. Was checking my hair with the phone's front cam and one thing led to another and I took about twelve selfies just like that. Heh. I tell you the things I do when I'm alone. Completely hooked on Downton Abbey. Finished season four and half of season three yesterday. Can't wait for season five to start. Also waiting for season eleven of Grey's Anatomy.  I  have unlimited WiFi. No more quota nonsense so have been ca...

To Date.

I've recently been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award thanks to a friend of mine I've only known via Facebook for some years now. The blog post for that is still being drafted. I've been posed some pretty tricky questions /;) Haven't been blogging as frequently as I used to coz I didn't bring my laptop back home this time round. Didn't think I'd have much use for it. Things have been a little...crazy here to say the least. I'm actually twenty-one now. Though I must say, the word 'freedom' was never synonymous with this age. All I ever related to this milestone was responsibility. Funny. It's been such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I could never completely describe it. I've been thinking about how I've celebrated my birthdays all these years. Two birthdays I celebrated away from home. My eighteenth, which was in the UK with Aunty M and Uncle T, and my twentieth, which was in Johor with my classmates and a once...

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...
