Ah friday again..thats 2 thirds of my time back in singapore gone :(

Had a great time yesterday with michelle, amelia & ruth:) spending time with them always makes me feel like a kid once more:) and so happy to see ruth again!:):) We were sharing our experiences of medical school in different parts of the world..mich and amelia in NUS, ruth in london and me in australia. Quite cool to think how we're all doing things so differently but hopefully will all eventually work together back in singapore.

We had a leisurely lunch at crystal jade la mian, then took a sampling tour of the taka food fest:) Michelle and amelia are shameless when it comes to free food:) I got a pleasant surprise in front of the bread shop where xinli jumped me from behind:) Ha was so happy to see her:) was sorry I couldn't stay long to chat with her but will hopefully meet her again next week:)

Think singapore really is just tiny:)Had a couple more pleasant surprises along the way from taka to borders as I bumped into jiamin, then later Livia:) Everyone's so different yet the same as I remember them:)

We took a slight detour to scott's picnic to settle ruth's craving for yami yogurt!We were parked there for a measurable amount of time, (most of which michelle was raving to me about the current singaporean food fad rotiboy-some bread with coffee cream or something) scarfing down yami yogurt and jaffa's cakes (some orangey chocolatey cake thingies.very nice!Ruth imported them all the way from london for us to try:) ). To top off our afternoon of pigging out, Amelia ended up licking her plastic spoon clean then putting it into her bag, explaining that she collected spoons. Oh well, at least she collects plastic spoons:) My mom has accumulated a considerable collection of metal SIA cutlery in her cupboard:) And I was wondering on the plane ride back to singapore from sydney why SIA had switched to using plastic spoons and knives..
Michelle explained to me that plastic knives were a safeguard to prevent terrorists from using metal knives as weapons on planes. Er. Well I guess that kind of makes sense but somehow just sounds funny.

Its really hard to imagine all of us as doctors in 5/6 years time..I wonder if we'll still get together and behave/talk as we do now?Ha well I guess as doctors we will have to exhibit the more professional parts of our personalities:)Its amazing to think how many different sides there are to a single person..I show a different side of my personality to each and every single person. Some people probably know me more than others but I wonder if there will ever be a single person who knows me entirely. Thats actually a scary thought.

Anyway, yep all-in-all a typically amusing afternoon spent with michelle, amelia and ruth:) I ended my day of pigging out with a seafood dinner courtesy of my mom:) She pampers me too much. Ha she was telling me and my sister how her colleague at work jokingly told another slacking colleague "You better watch out or else I'll durai you to the boss!" Didn't know whether to laugh or to be sad over the whole situation. Its pretty sad to think that these things happen in singapore as well..

Oops gotta go now. Busy day ahead. Yay lunch with my elder sister, meeting with cindy in the afternoon, and gotta settle my textbook situation:) Happy friday people:)

debs: Ha ok fine. JOLLY maaaah. :)
