Kyaaa!!! I got tagged!

Haha.... this is half a month overdue.. Sorry Christine! Hehe.. still tired from a day well spent. Went hiking at Morialta Park with Jenna, Chen and Ken today and visited Glenelg on Saturday (photos in my next post). Felt I deserved some fun after completing O&G (yes folks, it's over!). Actually, despite all my ranting bout how hectic and time-consuming it is to be posted in Lyell McEwin, it turned out to be quite enjoyable and worthwhile experience. Teaching there was really good after the first 3 weeks, thanks to the fantastic O&G team and Prof. So yeah, no regrets and thank God it's my first rotation and not last one at the end of the year. Viva and long case went surprisingly well, whereas I think I kinda killed myself off in a few of the OSCE stations... *Crosses fingers* Hopefully that'll be still enough to pass...


Okie now on to the tag:

The Rules

1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. List eight (8) random facts about yourself.
3. Tag eight people at the end of this post and list their names.
4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving them a comment on their blogs.



Random Fact 1:
I have lots and lots of moles. And most of my moles come in pairs.

Random Fact 2:
I love drinking soup, especially those clear, oil-free chinese soups my mom makes and miso soup. Been addicted to instant miso soup lately, though they aren't very authentic and do contain MSG.

Random Fact 3:
I'm still quite manja to my mom.

Random Fact 4:
When I was 7, I broke my 2 front teeth by slipping on wet floor at home and landing on my face. That resulted in a small puddle of blood and trip to the dentist. Didn't smile with my mouth open for a long time after that.

Random Fact 5:
Seems like my front teeth are prone to all sorts of accidents. When I got knocked down by a car in 2004, one of my front teeth got chipped. Xian-Nian is still pestering me to fix it.

Random Fact 6:
Oh ya, did I mention I was knocked down by a car? I was unconscious after that and still can't remember what happened clearly. Thank goodness I wasn't seriously hurt as the car was travelling at quite a high speed. And this was right outside IMU on the day my Semester 1 results were released.

Random Fact 7:
The friends I made in high school have a profound impact in my life. They are the ones who stood by my side through thick and thin. They were the first people who rushed to the hospital on the day of the accident (refer Random Fact 5). They are like family. I do believe that there are some people you are destined to meet in life, and thank God I met them. =)

Random Fact 8:
If I were to name any of my vices, it would be shopping. I think it's embedded in a girl's genetic code! Like some of modern adaptation of the hunter-gatherer instinct. And since coming to Adelaide, I've developed a fondness for dresses. As Xian-Nian says, I seriously have too many dresses now...


Tag 8 people? Erm.... anyone who wants to do this is more than welcome to. But for the heck of it I'll name 8 people...
1. Kakh!
2. Christine Ho
3. Calvin Wong
4. Jane Lim
5. Cindy Soon
6. Poh Lynn
7. Iona
8. Sze Yuen! =)


Goodnight everyone! Dead tired and tomorrow I'll be starting Paediatrics at the Womens and Childrens' Hospital.

Northern Lights

Happily enjoying the long weekend. Sort of. Maybe I'm enjoying it too much.

Went to see the Northern Lights on Friday night. No, it's not those glowy things in the North Pole. :P It's a light display with a twist. They basically project lights onto some buildings along North Terrace according to their shape and architecture. The result? Stunning works of art! For the first time in my life, I saw people sitting on the grass just staring at buildings. The lights change every few minutes, and each pattern is unique.

Had steamboat on Saturday night with the Villagers + IMU 4th years (whom are also Villagers). It was simple but really really fun. Matthew (Shiau Cern's boyfriend) brought his Wii, so that contributed to the fun too. :) Then yesterday night we attended Kian's birthday dinner at The Earl of Leicester Hotel. OMG it was The Attack of the Giant Schnitzels! Jebbrine and I shared a small schnitzel and even that wasn't small. As usual, Ken and his bottomless black hole of a stomach managed to sapu his large shnitzel. Watching Rahul, Kian and the rest of the guys was so painful... why do guys need to show that they're 'man enough' by shoving giant schnitzels down their gullets? But it was good fun anyway. After dinner the ABCs (Australian Born Chinese, though not all of them are Chinese) brought Kian to a skate park by the airport to cut his cake. As for his present, everyone chipped in to get him flying lessons! How cool is that?

Last night I've discovered a couple of new places in Adelaide, at least not so katak di bawah tempurung already. :P

Okie here are some pictures of the Northern Lights. Don't have pictures from the other events. Viva and OSCE is in 2 weeks and the stress in mounting. Oh please oh please let me pass O&G so that I won't need to repeat it next year....
