TGIF

Thank goodness it's Friday!

Not only am i glad that the weekend is finally here, i must say tt i'm also happy that today's been eventful in a gd way!

Here's how my day went!

6.00 am - Rise and Shine!
7.15 am - Gym with very fit CG mates
9.00 am - Tutorial
11.40 am - Meeting at Dean's Office
12.45 pm - Lunch
1.30 pm - I SAW Jackie Chan!!!
2.00 pm - Tutorial
3.30 pm - Cab down to TTSH
4.00 pm - Buy presents for tutors
6.00 pm - Queue for Starbucks Staff Treat

Firstly, i'm glad that i took the first big step to get my fitness back. I ought to listen to ronnie who told me that exercise is really beneficial, 'cos not only does it keep u fit, it also keeps u mentally alert and helps u sleep better :)
I didnt do much at the Gym today cos i wanted to start slow... but i hope this isnt the first and last time i make the effort to go to the gym!

I got to see Jackie Chan! Though i didnt get close enough to take a good pic of him. Here's some shots i took anyway!


Next highlight of the day is the Starbucks's Treat to TTSH Staff! 50% OFF you know???
It's a bit ironical tt my cg only queue for Starbucks Treat after we leave TTSH.


The long long queue :)
Our buys and happy Gab.


The much talked abt starbucks Tiramisu -> not bad :)
Wenhui and my decent receipt and Gab's atrociously long receipt!
Happy Gab again :)

I was wondering if i'd ever spend more than 100 bucks on starbucks... probably unlikely.

Till i post again, hope my knowledge of psychiatry would have expanded by leaps and bounds! haha

Understanding Food & People

I seriously have no idea why i'm persistently tired... and i really have NO idea why i was obedient enough to go for the sushi making class my mom sign me up for despite countless refusal.

K la.. it wasnt too bad :)


I should really make them when i have the time. I'm sure it'll be a good change from my usual baking!

Food from the past few weeks :)








Meals at waruku comes with a complimentary salad! What a healthy way to start the meal! :)

This week is the first week of Psychiatric Medicine at NUH. Naturally we'll make our way to nus when we can cos there are food we miss when we're posted to other hospitals far far away from nus :) I'm looking fwd to eat my 面搀搀.

On Tues, we met our dearest friends doing orthopaedics for lunch at Megabites.

I had Vegetarian Pesto. Not too bad :) But the tomato-based sauce was a little too sweet for my liking. But thanks to Gab who bought me ginseng tea to (1)WAKE ME UP (2) Counter the sweetness, I was quite happy with lunch on a whole!:)


Last pic here is taken at Zhenzhen's party. I really heart her spread of food and the mini donuts are really cute!


I think i've fulfilled the food part of the title by writing about how i learnt/understood how sushi is made. What about 'Understanding People'? Not surprisingly, i've been learning alot about people from just 3 days of my posting.

Psychiatric illnesses have never been more real to me till i spoke to and see people with them myself. Unfortunately, with the increasing understanding of each condition, it is inevitable that u begin to see some parts of it in yourself.

For example, we were told today that most medical students / doctors have some element of OCD-ness. I thought i may marginally fulfill the criteria for bipolar disorder but i'm now convinced that i do not cos true bipolars fluctate between mania and depression spontaneously without a trigger.

I'm looking forward to learn more! But meanwhile i just hope to break out of this sleepiness cycle, hopefully by the next time i post!

Ultimate Cui-ness

I felt damn shitty today cos there wasnt one full lecture i managed to stay awake for.

Damn cui.
Damn cui.

You know i was so tired that i almost didnt have the energy to eat dinner. Those of you who know me would find it unbelievable... cos most of u know tt hunger can wake me up from sleep if i dont eat enough for dinner!

I was that tired.

If only complaining works for me and i could complain till the cows come home to feel better... but a large part of me is too rational to complain cos i know complaining is more likely to drain me further than really make a difference. hai...

But seriously, i dont think i ever schooled for 17 wks continuously without a break! In sch we always get a break aft every 10 wks.

Then again, I shouldn't be complaining cos
(1) I supposedly had 1.5 days at my disposal aft my test
(2) I'm not doing ortho
(3) I'm not involved in play house

So i can only hope tt an early night today can do me some gd.

Friends who also feel cui, jiayou k! Especially those who dont have (1),(2),(3) even.

Secret OST

This has got to be one of the best OST i own now. When i watched the movie, i was so thankful for having the opportunity to learn the piano. It's a nice thought that i can potentially be very good at piano if i practised. It's good to be hopeful.. when all the if onlys if taken to be possibilities:)

This OST is so happifying :) definitely recommended.
