Hi guys, I promise a proper update coming up soon, but before that, please watch these two short clips shot by Wong Fu Productions.
A very cute innocent love story. I likey~ :)
HK - Dream Line (prequel)
The Spare (sequel)
PS: I normally don't do monthly anniversaries but since this matches the videos very well, here goes: Happy 29th month anniversary, dear dear! ^v^
Naturally, as someone pointed out, there is a site called mymomisafob.com as well!
In my intervals of dealing with demands of a surgery rotation (read: reports!! with painstaking literature reviews, reading up for tutorials, ward work and don't forget, exams acoming!), I have resorted to some good ol' humor in these sites.
And today, because I'm nice like that, I'm going to bring to you again some classics from mymomisafob.com. ^^ Enjoy!
Post #1: Girls have expiration dates?
me: so, for my birthday… (starting to tell her plans)
mom: (interrupting) you need to really get married this year…
me: mom, i'm only 26 and i don't want to get married right now. we've talked about this so many times!
mom: yeah, well, you should get married soon. you turning 27, have 3 years to find good man and get married
me: huh?!?! um, why 3 years?
mom: girls no pretty when they pass 30. no guy going to marry you when you expire.
Post #2: Rape prevention tactics
Be sure to wear lots of underwear, so if you get rape it'll take them longer and you can escape.
WTH! priceless!
Post #3: A lesson to learn
Scene: School parking lot after class ends. My mom points out a Chinese couple making out near the bathrooms.
Mom: Aiiiiiiiiiii-YAAAAAAAAAA! Can't they do that behind bushes or suuumting? If you eveeeeeeeeeeer get boyfriend, don't let me see do something like that!
Me: Don't worry. I wouldn't dare to.
Mom: Good. Because if you do, I take picture and send it to grandma. And then when grandma get heart-attack, you pay hospital bills!!
----------------------------------------------------
omg I thought I was gonna die laughing! *lmao* I know I'm not supposed to laugh at the fact the grandma getting a heart attack but the fact that the mum would risk that just to make sure the daughter wouldn't do that is just so funny! And not because of the heart attack as well, but the hospital bills! what the lol.
Haha I'm so thankful that my parents never talk to me about those stuff!! especially in that way! :P
Yesh I know I shld be posting real posts abt moi but I was taking a break just now and checked out this funny link from pinkpau's blog. You MUST have a look!!
My Dad Is A FOB! Click here please!
F.O.B. stands for "Fresh Of the Boat"; according to urban dictionary, it refers to immigrants who once came to America by boat. In its general sense, it may be applied to any immigrant; but recently, there seems to be a consensus to apply it only to Asian immigrants.
So the site is abt hilarious stuff that happened btw dads who are FOBs obviously and their not so FOB kids lol.
Not convinced? Let me show you some hilarious gems that I found.
Post #1: It ends at “O”
Me: dad, i need some money.
Dad: why!? what now?!
Me: well prom is coming up soon…and a bunch of friends and i want to rent a condo at the beach.
Dad: …who is going, who are you going to share the condom with. how much is it?
Post #2: Stand by me
I told my dad to pick me up in the morning/afternoon as long as he was free.
Yes madam. because u r my sweetheart. i.ve reserved my whole life 4 u. i always standby. Dad
Post #3 (also my fav): The birds and the bees…and Secret Victoria.
Dad: Kimson, i have to remind you EVEY time. What is your focus? You want to be pregnant, disgrace family, with 5 kid and no daddy? Your focus is always school. Bring home the A, not the baby. You stay away from boys! they just good to carry heavy "tings" for you. like textbooks. and fix things. like leaking refrigerator.
Me: WHAT?
Dad: Have you fix drip yet? Ask your mexican friend help you move a little to turn off ice maker. Anyway, i remind you that no sex until marry.
Me: whatever dad.
Dad: And for you that is maybe 30. No boy like you anyway. You need PHD. Bring home the diploma and a nice vietnamese docta. Then we will see.
Me: DAD!!!!!!! OKAYYYYYYY.
Dad: You don't okay me. Okay for little scrub. You say yes dad. AND DON'T LET ME SEE YOU GO ONTO SECRET VICTORIA on computer! you buy that red sexxciting and boy go crazy! I don't Like!
Me: oh my god!!!!
-------------------------------------------------
Now, tell me, isn't all those just too hilarious for words?! *rotfl*
rotfl! guys, let's just say you had fair warning *evil laugh*
PS: I'll update more later when I am not so tired. Been really busy lately. Meanwhile, amuse yourself with this quote then lol.
Hey it's been a long time since my cooking posts, hasn't it? Time for another one! :D
First up is this new dish I tried - Lemon Chicken.
it doesn't look nice though and kinda failed too. Next up is just nong shim noodles turned into quite a healthy meal.
spicy, the way I like it.
I added tomatoes, green leafy vege, spring onions, egg and fish slices to make it more nutritious!
Not bad for an instant noodle meal, right? ^^
Next we have a picture of a full meal I cooked ages ago. I think I overdid it on the amount. (now better at estimating haha)
steamed chicken, stir fry vege, fried egg and sausages
I think I probably ate all that in 2 meals tho haha
(yeah I'm bringing lunch boxes to hospital everyday, really saves lots of money hehe)
Okay, finally something new and tastes nice! Guess what?
A chinese favourite: Fried rice!
I fried overnight rice (apparently thats better) with leafy vege, carrot slices, meat and tomatoes.
But after this I never added tomatoes anymore coz it makes it too watery.
Last but not least, aglio oglio pasta, my own style! ^^
doesn't it look absolutely yummy? My stomach is grumbling just looking at this pic.
Basically the same thing, but instead of adding other sort of vege, use mushrooms (i love love shitake mushrooms!!), carrot slices and some spring onions.
Don't forget the meat haha and for some extra flavour, I added basil leaves and parsley as well! Squeeze in some lemon juice for that tangy taste!
close up shot! Me trying out the macro mode of my camera. Looks nice, doesn't it?So that's it for now. I have a few more dishes I think and might try more new ones when I get bored of eating the same food over and over again. So watch this space for the next part of Labour of Love!!
(lol. I think I sound like some tv cooking show host or something. :P)
Hey hey, I know I've been a bit slow on the blogging horizon the past few weeks but I really have been busy. yeah yeah busy is an overused word in a medical student's dictionary. That page is probably all ragged and dog-eared now.
Okay before I digress. What did I miss out in my previous post?
Oh ya!! I went to watch Stomp 2 weeks ago! It was pretty good but imho, it was a bit short for 80bucks each. It went for about 1 hour and 45 mins. And I was kinda expecting them to use more of kitchen utensils (the tinkling sort ya know?) but they used more of the big tongs sort of thing. Debbi said she saw a korean version wic used more of kitchen utensils so I might keep that in my list of things to check out when I earn my own moolah. haha.
My favourite bit was when they bring out these sinks with dishes and water in them. And they made music with them. That was lovely. And the funny part was when they let out the water in the sinks into a bucket in front of them and it totally looked like they were peeing!! lol.
But on the overall it was great. :) sry I dont have any photos coz cameras were not allowed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
And I had a blast last weekend. It was Seng Chye's birthday last friday and we decided to hold a steamboat party at our place. We invited the seniors as well.
everyone having fun. Seng Chye is doubling over with laughter I think.
He brought his guitar as well. his singing is so good!
And tada here's the cake!
chocolate marble cake, yummy!
love how we made the candles form the number 24! cool~
It was a really fun party. After a delicious steamboat (which I miss so much!), we played charades. so funny man. lol.
And then, saturday was just a day of fun! ohmygosh the seniors asked us out for karaoke, dinner and clubbing!! I finally found out that there are some times where karaoke is cheaper! 9 bucks for 3 hours is certainly cheap in my book compared to our 1st time there.
Seniors also let us try some drinks. I quite like Muscato and Baileys. Baileys is like chocolate whee! lol! They also brought us to this club where its mostly asians. haha I feel like I'm back in malaysia there! Music was pretty good too, I know quite alot of the songs. And the best thing abt it is that smoking is not allowed here. yay, nonid to breathe someone else's secondhand smoke!
I think I'm getting old, my knees started to ache after sometime dancing. Well at least that definitely fit my exercise quota that week! :P
We went to grab some Mcd after clubbing coz we were positively starving. And they came to our hse to eat and chill for a while. And somehow we started talking crap and gossiping till morning. Haha I thought that was really fun, I miss talking crap to ppl who could understand me without having to try to watch my language (no lahs, mahs, abothens etc). =(
----------------------------------------------------------------
shit half of my post disappeared, blogger is apparently having maintenance!! But I tot autosave is on, aihs..
Anyway, I will try to rewrite whatever I wrote just now. *brain, fai fai remember!* See I am so nice!
Ok so for the medical aspect of the week.
Nothing much really happened, pretty mundane stuff really. Oh I got to witness a "code blue aka medical emergency" last week. Pt had a cardiac arrest and they were trying to resuscitate him with CPR. Unfortunately, they couldnt save him. It wasn't my 1st time seeing this though (saw 2 simultaneous ones at sban last yr) so I wasn't too traumatized. but it was kinda sad though.
Well that kinda wraps up the week.
And I just realised, thanks to Deb's tip, that apparently I have exams in 1 month's time. oh my! It's a formative exam for Infectious Diseases, Pathology, Pharmacology. Sigh, looks like I really got to catch up with those lectures ade.. And they aren't exactly my favourite subjects either, especially the way they teach them here. =/ But looks like an even busier next few weeks for me! Got to fit studying those units into everything else.
Okay gotta go! Take care, everybody!
PS: Hello Uncle Lai Shouk! *waves* I didn't know you were reading my blog until I got ur email some months ago. (I keep forgetting to mention it here) Btw, you still haven't reply my email on how you got my blog address in the first place!! I better be careful of what I write here, eh? lol.
Heylo! I'm back again. I know, it's been slightly more than a week since I last blogged but I was really busy.
Last week was just a flurry of activity that I don't really rmb. But lucky we have this journal that we hvta write down what we did each day so I'll just review them now eh?
Well, I'll just write down the highlights of the week okay.
And guess what? I cannulated my 1st patient! omgwtfbbq. It was almost a success, as in there was flushback (means got blood flowing into the tube) but somehow it couldn't advance so must have hit a valve or smtg, which couldn't be avoided b4hand. But I really need to do more for practice though!
Surgeries I'd seen: Creation of AV fistula, part of kidney transplant and... exploration of gunshot wound! (yeah he was shot by the police - he even had a few police escorting him the 2 days he was in hospital)
Hmm and I finally got a case for my case study. Nice lengchai irish guy that had appendicitis. :P Good simple case really. hehe. And dont forget the many tutorials!! But the teaching is really good for my team so it's all good. :)
Anyway, now it's week 4 and there are 5 medical students in my team, so we hvta take turns each day (till week 8 I reckon) to present the later ward round to the consultant as the "junior doctor". And today was my turn.
I think I did okay, as in I did know mostly what was happening to the patients - its just that the way I presented to the consultant could have been better. Need to get my communication skills a bit up! And more practice! :)
Haha okay, that's all for now I think. We just received a 100-paged notes abt liver surgery o.O and we are supposed to read it up for the tute this thursday. Huh?? Dont think I can make it even if I breathe it 24/7 for the next few days. lol.
So cya guys next time! Miss u all dearly!
It's been quite a few days since I last wrote here. Have been busy when it's time to be busy and lazy when it's time to be lazy :P
Anyway, it was supposed to be a long weekend for us here (public hols today, Anzac day - the day where they commemorate the ppl who died in the war) but I had to go into hospital on saturday so it kinda became like a normal weekend for me.
Before I get too ahead of myself, let me give a summary of the week.
Watched a laparascopic cholecystectomy, a parotidectomy, had a suture workshop (I need more practice!! I wonder if I will get the chance to do?), multiple tutorials, ward rounds, went on my 1st on call, clerked someone with an acute abdomen, took blood from an inpatient, learning how to function like a junior doctor and probably other minor things that I'd forgotten.
But suffice to say, surgery rotation is certainly a busy one. But I'm certainly learning and enjoying being busy. :P
Anyway, so yeah that was the week. And my saturday was supposed to look like this. Liver transplant at 4am and ward round with resident at 8am. [the resident called me and said the consultant specifically ask a med student to help with the ward round. HELP? Us?? I reckon it's because the rest of the team will be in theatre. but still what can I do to help? carry files? lol.]
But here is how it turned out instead. News of cancelled liver transplant received b4 sleep.
And suddenly got a text and call at 9 smtg in the morning saying the liver transplant is going to happen soon. Tried my best to rush to hospital but alas I forgot it was a public holiday and the bus only comes every hour. Wasted half an hour waiting at the bus stop with Debbi. (I invited her to go see see also ma haha) In the end, she drove us there. thks :)
When we arrived, the surgery was already well and underway, couldn't get to see much coz there were 3 surgeons, 1 assistant and my grpmate already scrubbed in around the patient. Lucky for me, after sometime, another consultant approached me and asked whether would I like to scrub in to assist when the donor organ arrives.
I must admit, in my mind, I though: "Err I thought it comes in a box right? Need to do what woh?"
And boy was I wrong. Apparently, the surgeons who harvest the organ really just simply chop out the organ and then send it. And the surgeon here hvta clean up the fat, diaphragm etc and ligate unncessary vessels before putting it in the patient.
And that was where I come in. I hvta help by holding out the important vessels while the surgeon works his magic. And being so close up with the liver means I got to see lots of anatomy. And he quizzed me on the vessels too, which I must admit, I failed terribly. :P Well its not that easy to see when it's all a pile of gunk floating in the basin.
But it was a really cool experience. Being able to hold the vessels and touch the liver (which feels very firm btw). And this time, I felt like I was really helping. Really doing something as part of the team. It was awesome!
And that was the medical stuff for the week. Lucky I get 2 days to relax and recharge. really need it. And tomorrow it starts again, but the funny thing, I'm happy being busy for once!
Maybe I'm slowly adapting to life here or maybe it's just a turn of things for the better.
And notice that I finally used the word "happy" since I got here. :)
Today my groupmates and I were discussing the mnemonic for the branches of the facial nerve. And they mentioned the one the surgeon mentioned yesterday during the parotidectomy yesterday.
Branches of Facial Nerve are: Temporal, Zygomatic, Buccal, Mandibular and Cervical.
And they were saying something like: "Three Zheppers Bit My Cat..."
And I asked: "What are zheppers?" My mind was thinking of something vaguely like zippers. *inserts face with a question mark above it*
And guess what it was? You won't believe it. Zebras!!!
Who the hell pronounce zebras not like Zeee-bras but Zhe-pers??
Go figure! hahaha. Am still trying to figure out the aussie tongue :P
Quite often, the walk back home during the evening helps me clear my head from the clutter of the day.
Looking at the rapidly darkening sky with the sun setting in the distance, its few rays glowing yellow. Taking a few deep breaths, breathing that fresh air. And the trees which looked so luscious yet mysterious at the same time. Trodding on the ground, which feels so solid under my feet aching over the day's burden of walking/standing on it.
And drinking in that wide openess of the land. I felt free somehow, as if anything could come true if I will it hard enough.
It is during these walks when I'm the most clear-headed about what I want in life. It is during these walks that I realise the hunger inside me for these dreams to come true one day, the sooner the better.
If only I could keep this feeling of freedom inside me... and never let it slip away - the power of believing in your dreams.
Hi guys, I'm back after what I can only describe as an intense week. I was having mixed feelings when I started surgery.
But now after one week, I'm enjoying myself. The hours are long, the work tough but I'm learning. My consultants have organized quite a lot of teaching sessions for us and we are probably gonna work through the whole "Lecture Notes for General Surgery" book in the 8 weeks we are here. Which is gonna be amazing coz this will probably be the first time I read an entire textbook. lol.
We are expected to be around for quite an amount of hours. Ward rounds (can be twice a day), on calls, meetings etc.
Can you believe it, in the 2nd day of our posting, I already got to scrub in and assist the surgeon for an exploratory inguinal canal operation? Nah, didn't do much coz I know practically nil abt surgery, only held the opening open with retractors and cut sutures for the surgeon. *Note to self: must rmb to leave some suture left when cutting it. Not the time to be neat haha*
And!! I also got to do a catheter on another patient pre-op. so funny la the surgeon ask me whether I wanna do a catheter onot and I said "Errr.." coz felt abit hesitant as never did on real patient before yet. Then he said: "that means yes!" lol.
But it was great. :D I finally got over my fear of doing a catheter. I made some silly mistakes (they are very big on being aseptic here! my gosh) but hey, I'm sure next time I'll do better. Can't wait to practice more! Next hurdle to cross would be a cannula. woah, tat would be scary. o.O
Luckily, this time my group mates seem to be really nice ppl. So I'm happy. And the girl stays very close to me so she gives me lifts home when its late and there are no more buses. thank you! :)
Well, that would be about all for now. I sense a difficult week ahead so its good I'm all rested this weekend hehe.
I'll try update more on my experiences coz I'm sure my frenz like to read abt them. Let's hope Time is kind to me. Oh ya, and I have the mental and physical capacity left to blog. :P
PS: Btw some of the messages you guys gave are hilarious! I really LOL at some of them.. loving it :)
The long easter weekend just whooshed past like that. In a flash. Well, fun times always fly. =)
Anyway, here's a summary of what I did in the past 4 days.
Went to the beach on friday morning.
look at the waves! beautiful and strong ^^Then 4 of us imu peeps went to Caversham Wildlife Park on saturday morning.
Although it was supposedly a "wild life" park but a big part of it was kinda like a zoo. But at least there were some open enclosures that let us get close to the animals!
check out this cute koala bear! they sleep 20 hrs/day so mostly is just sleep and stone haha..
Then I went to a uni mate's 21st birthday party that night.
Tried this alcohol drink called Mai Tai. Pretty good for something that sounded like some cheap drink back home haha.. Was a cocktail of pineapple and orange juice with some liquor I dunno lar. And damnit, I'm allergic to alcohol again!
And for sunday dinner, we had a cookout at our place. And guess what we cooked up? (pun :P)
msian all time favourite - nasi lemak!! yummy indeed~And last but not least, I went to meet a primary school friend for dimsum on monday morning. Food wasn't all that great (I definitely had better at a much cheaper price too in msia, I miss good msian food T_T) but the company was great. Lots of jokes and laughter. :)
So! That was how I spent most of my 4 days of break. Pretty packed, huh?
Now it's time to come back to reality. Just started surgery today and looks like it's gonna be a busy busy 8 weeks ahead!
I heard teaching for my team is good though (and quite a lot of things seems to be organized for us!) but I will hvta buck up to meet their higher standards too. o.O
So expect more nerdy times ahead!
PS: For more pics of said events, check out my facebook, thks.
PPS: Oh and we learnt how to scrub in today! Rather fun! Hope we get to observe many interesting cases and assist if possible. ^v^
I'm up early on a friday morning which is a public holiday here (good friday) coz we are waiting to go to the beach. But the others haven't reply yet!
Are we going or not ah..? Or else I wanna go back to my comfy bed liao...
---------------------------------------------------
Yeah I haven't been updating the whole week not becoz I was busy. Coz this week is Campus Week and it's filled to the brim with boring mind-killing lectures. Seriously, I just stone through most of them, then wake up occasionally to copy something. lol.
I can't believe I will say this but I miss the lectures in imu!! *shocked face* lol.
Have a long weekend ahead, my new rotation Surgery starts next tuesday! Apparently heard the consultants on my team are quite strict but at least the teaching is good. hmm looks like I better buck up.
Okla, update more later. Tats.
Hi guys, time for part 2 of my cooking series! Are you excited?
I'm definitely improving, well at least on the time spent part. Taste? I'm biased so I can't judge but I think I'm not bad for an amateur lah. hehe :P
Okay without further ado, here are they!
Stir fried vege with sausages
and one of my favourite dishes in the world, sesame oil chicken!
I liked it so much that I cooked it 3 times ade since being here. lol. Well it reminds me of my mother's cooking, cannot meh? A little slice of home. :)
Next up is a repeat performance.
Spaghetti Boulognaisse with melted cheese on top
and an extra omelette I made
And I had a craving for sushi the other day. But sushi here is too damn expensive to enjoy it to my heart's content. So DIY!
Looks nice, doesn't it? alas, I bought the wrong vinegar, so tasted a lil weird.
But no worries, I bought the correct one already! (well hope it is)
As usual stir fried vege and chicken with worchestire sauce (spelling?)
and new star of the day is Ginger Onion Fish!!
I made this long ago with Kee, so decided to try it again. Success! Yummy indeed! :D
And last but not least, also a favourite since Bukit Jalil days.
Fried noodles!
I liked maggi goreng alot but didn't buy the paste coz not worth it.
But fried noodles are yummy on their own too!
So that's it for today's cooking session. What do you guys think? ^^
I was supposed to blog abt this sometime ago but in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I forgot until now.
Anyway, a few weeks back, by an unusual stroke of luck (from someone who is usually not that nice to me), I managed to get into a spot for phlebotomy. Oh phlebotomy? that's just a cool ass name for taking blood. :P
Well, unlike in Malaysia, where doctors are the ones that take blood samples from patients, here they have people specially trained for it. They are called phlebotomists and they do outpatients' clinics as well as inpatients.
And for this year, we have this logbook where we have to do a set number of phlebotomies, catherizations, injections and cannulations. And for phlebotomy, we have to contact said department and arrange a time with them as they can only take 2 students at a time.
So actually at that time they were fully booked up until april but I managed to get a spot!
And yesh, I managed to take 6 successful blood samples (out of 7!! sry lar 1 fail jor) and only needed a little instruction on the position of the needle with 2. Isn't that fabulous??
That day was one of the best days I had so far in medical school here.
I need more of those sort of days. Where I feel the burning passion reminding me of why I chose this line of work in the first place.
Coz it's so easy to get lost in clinical school.
To be truthful, I haven't been myself the past few weeks.
I was lost.
I can't exactly pinpoint the reason but I can somehow trace it back to an incident that happened sometime ago. But I shall refrain from telling tales.
Anyhow, in those weeks, I felt I was just like a mindless robot, going through the works everyday, without any of the enthusiam that I had earlier. I was just wandering around in circles, without any destination in mind. And god knows how we need a goal to keep us going on in medical school.
But it's good that I realised it earlier on. It's still not too late...
Time to get down to what I came here to do in the first place.
Msk exam is over!! Whee...
It wasn't easy but it wasn't totally difficult either. Do-able would be a good description. But I realised there were quite a few of red herrings included inside.
For eg. patient comes in with blah blah typical features of osteoarthritis. Then suddenly mention that patient got erythematous rash on face. Haha want to trick ppl to definitely say she has SLE lar!
Anyway, some of the pictures included inside are very blur!! Even though enlarged ade cannot see clearly lah. These sort of pics especially xrays, must print wan, cannot photocopy!
Weirdly, the examiner told us that the exam was not timed. Which means we can take as long as we like. So funny right? And the most zha dou thing was about 10 ppl received questions papers with the even pages missing. -_- And I was one of the 'lucky' ppl. haha. We had to wait for the examiner to go photocopy more.. And she just left us alone like that, trusting us to be honest.
A few ppl started discussing the questions.. until a girl couldn't tahan anymore and directly just shoot them by saying "it's not very fair, you know, discussing the answers. yes you three there!" *points at them* o.O wah.. that's very blunt. No worries, I didnt cheat at all. I believe one's pride is really important, especially when one is kinda like representing one's country in a way.
Anyway, my point in saying all this is that I feel that this exam has lost part of its worth somehow. The fact that it's not being timed and no supervision. I shouldn't have stress out so much abt it. lol.
Oh well, talk so much, I'm also not sure how my results will be too haha. wish me luck k.
Now, I need a bath, some rest before dinner. Finally gonna have a karaoke session later! I miss it!! woots.
This is just a temporary interventional post. while I bide time to mug for exams =/
They say chocs in Aus are really nice, especially Tim Tam.. So I decided to try this one out.
black forest flavour! sweet surrender seriesthey have many flavours and I plan to slowly try one by one hehe
you will see a very round zzzyun the next time you see her! =(
pretty good but I was expecting more awesomeness.
Maybe some other flavour eh? hmm...
Today I didn't have classes and at first planned to stay at home to study for my upcoming msk exam this friday.
But in the end I decided to make a quick trip to Ikea (well as quick as I could) to get a new table lamp. Coz the old one was really irritating and impairing my ability to study :P excuses! haha but really, it was kinda dark and the bulb was sticking out of the shade so when I look straight ahead, it was too glaring. make me go @.@
Anyway, so off I went. It was good weather to me. Cloudy and windy.
I had to take the train to a suburb then take another bus to Ikea. And the murals in the train station there were really pretty. So I managed to take some photos to show you guys what I mean. (putting my camera to good use eh ^^)
Enjoy!
corridor to the other side
depicting the perth train - looks pretty real to me
interesting - her facial features are so sharp!
this is what happens when you have long hair in space! lol 
giant at bridge?
omg love those fusion of colours there!
animals having recreation time, haha!
So what do you guys think? Really beautiful works of art, huh?
It's amazing how they encourage this sort of creativity here. A lot of imagination must have gone into this, these few pictures aren't really enough to show you the whole big picture!
Anyway, since I was there, decided to have lunch at Ikea. The lunch there is really delicious and cheap too (comparing to other food outside)!
And my absolute favourite there is Swedish Meatballs!
If you thought the ones at Ikea Malaysia are good, you haven't tried these yet!! Seriously, these are really to-die-for-melt-in-your-mouth meatballs!!
Chye reckoned it's because they added pork inside, thats why it's so tasty! hehe
I decided to have dessert too, but instead of the Daim cake which is as yummy as the one I had in Msia, I decided to try the chocolate mousse.
my verdict? too damn sweet even for me. I couldn't finish it, which was a pity =/
Anyway, so that was the part of my day which wasn't spent trying to force myself to concentrate on my lectures notes.
And yes, I'm very satisfied with my new table lamp now. :) Hopefully I will be able to study better!
Okay back to my notes! Wish me luck. kthxbai.
These are the little things that make my days here more worthwhile.
Funny, inspiring, teary, clueless
But they are all messages of love and care from my friends.
I shall hold them close to my heart. Miss you all dearly!
PS: Daylight Saving is over! Got to sleep an extra hour hehe.. And now the time is the same as malaysia too!
Isn't this so cute?
I got this pair of hearts from IKEA sometime ago coz they were super cheap and for charity too!
They are now hanging on the handles of my walk in wardrobe. (yesh I have a walk in wardrobe, can you believe it??)
Btw, do you like how I photoshopped this photo? Looks cool, right?
I hope by looking at these hearts, they will remind me that even though we are thousands of miles apart, our hearts are always together. :)
