goodnight bad morning
i realise i have no blogging style. sometimes it's cryptic, sometimes it's just a blatant record of what i've done. i don't know why i've come back, maybe because i'm bored and it's almost end of term. cambridge christmas week always makes me smile, no matter what. it also makes me less productive as i dream of christmas fun.
just came back from a stroll about town. i had to get wine for thursday singapore/malaysia jesus formal and friday medics/vet pembroke formal, plus a box of fancy chocolates for chocolate and liquor evening at johns tomorrow. it felt nice just walking with music in my ears, watching the world go by. christmas lights were out and there are angels in grand arcade. everything seems ready, everyone seems friendly.
good moods have to be treasured, and so do quirky facts.
quirky fact #1: "your brain coagulates at the same rate as egg white" - as quoted by prof rothwell in basal ganglia lectures.
quirky fact #2: the second most screwed up moment in one of ken smith's clinical hospitals is when he mis-filled someone's death certificate. he caused a backlog of cremations when he was summoned to check on the corpse in the coffin! and you wonder what the first can be - it was how a patient died during a 3 hour lumbar puncture and the doctors did not realise until they turned him around. this and other morbid tidbits about dead babies were flying about in pfp review last night, with us cracking up at ken smith's every anecdote. it really makes me wonder how cynical a doctor we'll all turn out to be at this rate.
ok ta, time to figure out how to make a microwave baked pasta dinner yum x

home sweet home
it's going to be a fun-filled 2 weeks. actually no, more relaxing then fun-filled, but who's complaining? especially after the craziness of last week...
we now have 2 rabbits! there's going to be a GPS in the car. apparantly orchard road is quite different now. ohmy, how singapore has changed.
pictures from last week soon hopefully. once i've sorted them out first. xx

mmmbop
i'm just loving this post-exam life!
since coming back from amsterdam, we've been:
- lazing on the lawn singing songs (and writing one even)
- going for garden parties
- bouncing in bouncy castles
- dinnering with finalists before we never get to see them again :(
- partying (dj sammy played fez last night woo)
- going for bops
- watching boat-burning (pembroke kept the headship of the river during bumps!)
- barbecueing
- floorballing and tennising (finally!)
- EATING
may week officially starts today.
there are so many things to still look forward to this week:
clare may ball tonight, john's may ball tomorrow, pembroke june event on wed.
sherry is coming tonight!!

this is the life :)
