Rich man's world, still

Life has been uninteresting for the past few days. Mock OSCE coming up this Thursday but have not been preparing lol. Had a mock of the mock a few days back with the seniors over here in Preston. Thought it went pretty well just need to brush up on the theory. Think I can bullshit pretty well and bullshiting is pretty important in OSCEs over here in UK. The ability to talk and talk and talk is the most important. As the seniors put it, even if you don't know the answer to what the simulated patient is asking, if you can talk your way through it, you get the marks. Nice.

But still. Theory sucks. Especially since this is an OSCE exam not a written paper. Plus the need to explain the patient about the disease that they got and the medication choices and lifestyle changes that they need to apply.

On the other hand, starting work at a nearby clinic now doing data entry. GBP7 per hour for a part-time job lol. Convert that and it is RM40 per hour for a part time job typing in patient details. So much easier than a waiter's job. Want to start working already. Can't stand doing the work of doctors and nurses without getting paid.

Summer hols hurry up! Just can't wait to get back to KL already. Girl, food, warmth, shopping haha.

CNY@Manchester

Chinese New Year!! Which traditionally is a family event with a great family gathering and feast, but this is the closest (and best) that we can get over here in the UK. And honestly it was pretty good. Dom and I made the trip down to Chinatown Manchester as it is the most happening one in the whole of UK, and they were right. In fact this is more Chinese New Year-ish than I've ever seen in Malaysia. Shame on Malaysia. Well actually kind of expected if you think about the reason why....but let's not go into politics.

May Quan came down from Liverpool while Yuvanna, Michelle and Sook Yeen came across from Leicester, which according to them is a pretty sad place. Not like Preston has anything to shout about lol. And we headed to Chinatown which was fucking crowded. Took us almost 20minutes to walk from one end of the street to the other which would normally take 1minute. Insane. Felt like Hong Kong all over again.

Lunch was at Pacific Restaurant, which in my opinion might be even better than some KL ones. What was supposed to be a 1pm lunch turned into a 3pm high-tea event due to the queue. Damn. Trying to imagine the profit that they must be making as they are also packed on normal weekends. Haha and Dom was bitching about why so many whites were out in the streets occupying space and in the restaurants as well since it is totally not their celebration at all.

Anyway, awesome food is always worth the wait!




Sook Yeen took the photos for the rest of the food I was too busy pigging out already by then. Had a few more dishes later on. We even managed to head to Trafford Center and Hard Rock Cafe Manchester for some beer before heading our separate ways. Our next target now is a Eurotrip! Maybe to somewhere warm, preferably not the Swiss Alps.

V-day!

Your love is a symphony
all around me
running through me

Your love is a melody
underneath me
running to me

Your love is a song.

Happy Valentine's Day my hunny.

A year ago we made Mr Smiley in Delicious, and a year later I still wish to do silly cheesy things like this with you, the only person I'll ever be cheesy with. I love you so much, and I can only wish I am there with you now.

Also, happy Chinese New Year to everyone! Just bank in any angpao money into my bank account I don't mind any contributions. Cash in paper form, or coins, or gold bars.

The wait is over!! Oh rather, it was last year end but I somehow missed it though I was tracking it down for ages.

It is worth the wait. Switchfoot has done it again :)

Oh and had my portfolio review today and it was good. Lol. Though I have been lazing around at home doing nothing but playing games and watching movies. Seriously. DOING NOTHING literally. Never knew a course where life in uni would be this free. Hmmm. Anyway, review was awesome, and tomorrow is the damn SSC review. Also doing from home lol. Maybe my clinic should be just next door in the future...I'll never need to set foot outside of home again.

Time just seems to be at a crawl when you are not around. Everyday just drags along, and I trudge along with it, looking for the day till I can back there with you again. There are so many reasons why I'll wait for you, but I think one is good enough. I love you and that is all. I love you more now than I did before as I knew you better now. Some things that used to bother us turned out not to matter anymore. What really matters is you and I. And whatever the future hold for us, we will always have each other. It is enough.

Happy 11 months my angel.
