Shopping

for phones and mobile lines that is.

because of an email we received a few days ago, suddenly informing us that mohh will not provide any phones or phone lines for our use, we're all in a mad scramble now. the best part? there is no corporate plan available for us. don't you feel the lurve? anyway, mumbler has settled for a $15 plan from singtel that gives free incoming and 100 minutes outgoing. hope that works!

and mumbler has never done this, but she was out last night with her mbbs study group pals, and ended up in a place called house, at dempsey road. she shared this drink called prohibition, which is an alternate take to the long island tea, and it tasted great! it comes with a wedge of lemon and is mixed with coca cola, and besides being delicious, it was also potent. mumbler could only handle two cups (yes you pour the conconction into dainty teacups!) but of course the rest took a lot more. haha.

it was hard not to feel a little sentimental last night. we're moving on now, entering the system with its ridiculous workload and frequent calls, and we all know that it'd be hard to get together as a group again. and to affirm the night's melancholy, they played bucks fizz's "now those days are gone" on the radio. i love the first verse:

Thinking…
Long ago when we were young and free
Love happened easily
And dreams never died,
Life sang a pretty song
Now those days are gone

and while i'm at it, here's another dixie chicks hit (back to the country mood yeah).



Who doesn't know what I'm talking about
Who's never left home, who's never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone

Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dream no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed

Chorus:
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes

She travelled this road as a child
Wide eyed and grinning, she never tired
But now she won't be coming back with the rest
If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test

As her folks drive away, her dad yells, "Check the oil!"
Mom stares out the window and says, "I'm leaving my girl"
She says, It didn't seem like that long ago
When she stood there and let her own folks know


good bye med school, hello world.
