Second Year

Forgive me for the long absence.
It is really a fusion of being absent minded, lazy, and indifferent.

So here's a quick breakdown

Second year, if you don't already know, is once of the toughest and most hectic years for medics in Liverpool. Not just because of the huge leap of insights and knowledge we have to attain and retain, but we have much less time for it. Increased amount of work, topped off with hospitals,GPs, and community attachments. Yet, I have realised, by the grace of God, I'm still quite relaxed and have not succumbed to the pressure and stress.

Quick flash on what's been going on lately:

1. Nottingham Malaysian Games 2011

Did not participate in any event but realised it was the cheapest way to meet up with everyone.

I'm glad I brought Andrew along so for once the many casual racism wasn't directed to me !

Some of the others I met up with

Oh yes, we met up with Robinhood

2. Lucy's/ex-homegroup Reunion Dinner

A very humiliating experience indeed! Highlight of the night? Sardines in the dark where Meg decided to trap me in the toilet.

So there I was fighting to hold on to the door with the little gap there was thinking there was someone on the other end holding it for a good 5 minutes before realising it was a sliding door and no one was on the other side. I almost kicked down the door.

Best part? I told Mr Josh Muir about it the next day in a text and one minute later Arosa texted me saying " I heard you were trapped in a toilet last night!" before realising that he had already told 6 other people in his hospital and they were all laughing at me.

I might as well mention it here as everyone knows about it by now

3. Emily's 21st

As usual, I was the joke!

before the fall...

With the birthday girl

4. Clinical Conference

So much for the hype to a very boring 3 day long presentation.

Yes, I started my presentation with :

"I'm sorry in advance for the mispronunciation of certain words, as you all can see, unless I'm severely JAUNDICED, I'm obviously not English. " and carried on with my presentation.

You were all thinking it, I just said it!

5. Lucy's 21st!

Fancy dress theme? Something that begins with the letter L.

And I decided to dress up as..... LAUNDRY.

Needless to say I was laughed and honked at walking down Smithdown.

Other costumes where others actually look good

Birthday Girl as Lady Gaga

Street to the rescue

How awesome do they look?

Somehow people who take pictures with me seem to keep their eyes real

6. Open Mic

Where I decided to brave Sara Ramirez' Rendition of "The Story"

Outcome? It didn't matter that i messed up bacause no one knew the song!

Thank you Amina & Dan for coming!

Ads

Came across this commercial which I found really amusing some time ago.

Thought of sharing it.

Also, this ad Is= nicked from J-Mee's blog.

Ps: Please tell me there are others out there who also entertain themselves with charlieissocoollike and community channel :)

Banned From the Canteen

First off, my sincere apologies for the infrequent updates.

But this is vital information.

Yesterday, I got a text

:" Hey Anton, it's John. Just asking if you're ok. It says you're banned from the canteen? :S what happened? Xx

To which I replied : Not funny

When I walked in to the canteen, I saw THIS posted around and in front of the canteen.

( Sorry for the crumpled picture as my immediate reaction was to rip it)

This is the work of Daniel Bennet and Meena Chow Parameswaran.

AJ Morrison and Iza Izwana, you are not let off the hook either.

Btw, just in case you still haven't figured out, this was only a JOKE. I didn't actually steal food or got banned.

JUST YOU WAIT!

Edit: Yes, I forgot to mention the stares I got when I entered the canteen

Forget Beef, Forget Chicken, Bring on the SHRIMPS!!!

I was asked where I wanted to go for our birthday dinner.

Though about it and realised how little shrimp I get in Britain.

And so ..

One of the few shrimp dishes we had. There were lobsters, shrimps& fish.

Student Fest Part 2-2011

CNY 2011

Happy Chinese New Year to all!

This would be my first out of the CNY heat with good food and "ang pows"

Instead, my celebration this year was a meal with

the Malaysian Society on the night of CNY itself.

Venue: New Shangri-La Restaurant.

My honest opinion, the food was good but not worth the amount we paid for.

Below are some pictures of our "10 course meal".

Soup

Prawns

PORK

Roast Duck

Sea Bass

Red Bean+Sago

I convinced her to go, haha.

Chid was there to embrace the Chinese culture

Iza Izuana

Happy 20th Kay!

You are 20 right?

A very happy birthday to the friend back in Malaysia.

Birthday dinners are going to be of only 2 from now on.

Sorry I can't be there to celebrate, but hey, you already had 2 before your birthday!

These are some pictures I found on FB, with the help of the ever stalkish "Friendship" app.

Well, FB has it wrong because it says we have been friends since Dec 2007 but we go way back.

Since I'm not home where I have all the other pictures since before time, these will do.
