Discoveries

three discoveries in two days. not big ones, but enough to spice up the holiday. somehow or other, this holiday isn't turning out as fun as the previous break. -sigh-

1) that it -is- quite nice to be sitting along the singapore river having a long dinner talking to your two best friends. the food was good, the company better, but the (main) topic of discussion was the best. mr blue slk, mr supersecret and mr starehardatthexxxfloor. wahaha. just like in the movies, in more ways than one, innit?

2) this article from the bbc about doctors' slang. it is, er, politically incorrect but very true. many apologies to my non-medical readers, but i guess you'll understand that doctors are human after all. anyway, my favourite is "pumpkin positive". short and sweet, and funny. read and enjoy!

3) i had not counted on the wisdom of friends far away from home. i was discussing the finals with someone in the uk and she said, if we knew everything then there's no fun in it, and we wouldn't have to sit for our finals, so we should just hang in there, do our best and learn all that we can, and we'll be fine. that was exactly what i meant by the end we serve, and i'm glad to hear it from someone in the same boat as me. it's the little encouragements from friends like this that keeps one plodding along, and it means much more, since i found out recently that a senior living in london just took his own life not too long ago. you don't understand everything that happens around you, but you simply carry on, right?

one more week left to the hols. i need to make better use of my time!
