many thoughts of better things to come post-CAs before the mugging commences again for the PROS *thunderclap*.
9th march mummy's birthday. think i'll make enchiladas to use up that extra tub of sour cream. gotta do sthg with lots and lots of nuts too though. mum's in love with nuts.
10th march cableskiing at batam with my darling on his ord day! woohoo! (havent asked permission for it yet tho) haha... tan tan tan here i come! ive been feeling so paley white lately its gross. i've a feeling im going to be spending most of my time on my butt in the water; have a tremendously lousy sense of balance bleah.
hms probably some shopping (strictly for mummy's present only of course).... haha maybe a pedi. my toenails have been peeling like shit lately and i absolutely dont know what to do with them anymore.
in the meantime... mug on!!!!!

(stupid biochem cant stick in my head for more than 5secs bleah)

i really really really really need sthg salty right now. my blood pressure 65/107. how can it be? im stressed, therefore i should really be hypertensive. sucks. maybe i should take marcus's suggestion on a bag of chips a day. then drink lots and lots of water. that should help.

mugging time. boo. not nice. i'd rather be dancing or sthg, that's my broken up to pieces snell there, entire upper limb section pages are loose and messy alr. its a miracle i havent lost a page yet. or maybe i have (and am missing out on some valuable nugget of knowledge that could just help me pass my SPOTS) but just havent known yet.

spent yesterday mugging at MP library and then at the starbucks there. saw hweeying at her fave study spot! nice afternoon, admidst male repro, a cup of venetian blend brew, nice company opposite, honey dijon kettle chips, cars zooming by. and the occasional crossword with the thunderstorm blaring outside.

very nice indeed.

oh and i finally ate my first cheeseburger. from macs. just the single cheeseburger plain, without pickles. it was alright, melty cheese rocks my world. im sure there's lots better ones around tho.

and thanks chiara for helping lawrence w his sweet surprise on friday. haha u neednt buy the entire rack of peanut butter choccies, u (and him) are sweet enough already =)

been spending a chunk of the past 2weeks or so prepping for lawrence's 21st bday haha. which happens to be tmr. the day before vday hehe...
anw his parents threw him a party with his relatives today... and it was really fun! shall post some pictures of it here =)


lawrence with one of his bday cakes (he had 2) and his family, grandpa and me! i look SO EXTRA here gosh.


got him a soldier pinata to commerate his upcoming ORDing =) hehe... the kids had lots of fun with that. he had like a truckload of pretty young cousins. haha...


the younger boys esp were whacking the thing damn hard la. i kept worrying that it wld break before it got to lawrence's turn. haha cos we went in a supposedly youngest to oldest order. see the flour flying out? i dumped flour inside too cos hopefully lawrence wld get a white head aft breaking open the thing. it added for dramatic effect anw =P


but just before it reached us 86' babies, who're cheryl (cousin), lawrence's bro raymond and me, the pinata soldier thing broke at the neck. so we had a decapitated soldier on the floor. the boys scrambled to go shake the sweets out, hehe but i stopped them.
got the bday boy to break it in whatever manner he chose to instead haha. he lay the soldier on the floor and smacked it at a very "sensitive" position till it broke in half hahha.


then the kids had a mad scramble for all the sweets hehehehe... fun =)


the night before i made creampuffs too. they turned out really wonderfully. so i brought a whole lot of creampuffs with cold custard and peach inside sprinkled with icing sugar. they loved it! it was snapped up quickly haha his uncle even wanted us to drive back to my hse to get more for them despite my hse being like half an hr away. gosh haha.. =P


my fave photo of the day =) lawrence and his brother smeared in cake and cream. fortunately, i emerged (from beside lawrence when he got smashed) unscathed. =)

photos of my family bbq last sat. sorry joshua and pam, cldnt make it for ur respective gatherings. mum had planned for this a long time ago and she'd have been disappointed if i didnt oblige her.


daddy the cook! he set up a wonderful fire and did the best cooking ever!


some of the food =) i marinated the salmon and the mushrooms. this mushroom was done in butter and garlic. we also had mushrooms done in olive oil, oregano and black pepper. all were wonderful!


hee salad =)


fantastic olive bread from the swiss bakery, and wonderul cheese twists from the swiss butchery! woah soooo nice. gosh. esp after heating them in the oven wrapped in foil so that they dont brown more.


the food cooking


hahaha the fire was SO HOT that it burnt the plank of wood that our makeshift bbq was sitting on! gosh. it was on fire! so scary pls.



my parents and dearest popo =)

my dearest anat group =)



today the pbl doc didnt turn up. at 1025, ben and jon went off to the dean's office to look for the doc. ben came back bearing "good and bad" news. good news = doc wasnt coming. bad news = dean's office was sending a replacement doc to cover the session. whilst we lamented and speculated on which doc was coming, jon burst in and VERY CONVINCINGLY started going "come on now class, im sorry im late, lets get started" it got all of us stunned there for a sec before everyone burst out laughing... haha jonathan the joker.

spent all day today prepping for my darling's bday/vday. gg to mug anat now. boo.

had a very enjoyable cny lunch at raffles hotel's bar and billards room yesterday. we go there at chinese new year every year! haha enjoy the spread and the ambience. this year, because auntie kimsiang (sel's mum) called us at 11am to ask abt something, we decided to invite her along too! so ended up at raffles hotel for lunch with sel's parents. SELENE DEAREST! U HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I MISSED U THEN!!!! vv enjoyable, the food was alright, nice cheeses and oysters; too bad no alaskan crab leg this yr haha... i liked the lychee rose champagne shots too. didnt take any pictures cos was too busy eating and enjoying the moment. darn i shld have. mum was wearing this ultra bright cheongsam that had vibrant pink and red roses printed all over it! hahahaha... she's had that for 2yrs but nv dared to wear it. dad and i bolstered her courage! hahahha...she looked nice la =)

today was ORANGE DAY! for my anat group. i walked into the LT mins before the lecture started and i cldnt believe how BRIGHT we were! gosh. they were sitting in 2 rows right in the middle of the LT. SO STRIKING! it was damn cool hahaha. too bad no seat for the latecomer me, so i sat with joshua and marcus and bean who had kindly saved seat for me (as usual!) hehe... but marcus and joshua were in bright orange too! so we formed our own little orange row there. haha.. the satelite orange ppl away frm the main grp hehehe.. prof kaur mildly remarked "how come everyone's in orange and red today (zhengfeng the toot went to wear red, HAIZ)" and we told her cny MUST MUST MUST wear orange. hahaha... gosh she questioned us really thoroughly today. i went to answer one abt e cavernous sinus, cos i thought i read quite ample-ly for it and wanted to test myself. but totally cldnt remember the relations and connections. BAH. sighs must mug more. heehee took pic with prof kaur outside the anat hall, and lots of random shots at the canteen where we slacked before histo pract (kaur again!) at 11. but all the photos are in yingxian'x camera so must wait till i get frm him before i blog them haha...

the soma ppl are going cable skiing soon. basically u wear skis, and get pulled around a lagoon by a cable in circles. its apparently v challenging to try and stand up. blah. haha... check it out here at www.cable-ski.com. interesting eh. hahaha... but i shall be v busy in the next 2 wks (read: cny and vday and special person's 21st bday) so think i'll give that a miss. =)
