Nearly the queen’s neighbour
I could have been the Queen’s neighbour if the hospital did not move away from central in 1954!
A medical school was established in 1834 at Kinnerton Street and was incorporated into the hospital in 1868. The Medical School was built in the south-west corner of the hospital site in Hyde Park, with the main entrance in Knightsbridge and the back entrance in Grosvenor Crescent Mews.
Now, I have to resolve to visiting the Queen once in a blue moon. Itupun she wasn’t in to accept my shitake mushrooms.
Sometimes, I wonder.. if I took that other ‘path’.. I would be graduating this summer. I could even be a F1 now if I had followed my original ‘masterplan’. Now I can only laugh at all these.
I think I am learning to take one thing at a time. Little things such as entering Burberry for the first time with a clear agenda in mind perked me. Adventures!
Or the fact that I enjoy Chinatown more than I did in KL..
Okay, that was random. Actually, I am quite distracted. I am supposed to read up some stuffs, but I ended up ‘chilling’ on the net. I tell you, computers are such double-edged swords! They keep you sane and insane at the same time. Can’t live without them, can’t live with them!!
GBP1 for 1 hour
So we did a calculation and found that my persistence of waking up earlier to catch the bus to save some money means my one hour of sleep costs me GBP1!
Is it that torturing to wake up at 6am? I think not. I may be complaining, but I am getting used to it. I guess it is learning to cope and adapt. We must learn to endure hardships in life. Life is just not about trying to store up gold and diamonds on earth. It encompasses much more than just the earthly possessions. We must look ahead.
Having said that, it is 6:40am in the morning and I should get moving. Many congratulations to the guy by the Yarra River.
“No comment”
What does “no comment” comment mean to you?
1. I agree, but I don’t really want to hurt your feelings, so I am trying to state my ‘neutrality’.
2. I do not agree, but again, I don’t want to offend you, so I am trying to state my so-called ‘neutrality’.
3. Too obvious.. wanna “tu xue” (vomit blood) sort of answer/comment so I better just say “no comment” to avoid haematemesis.
4. I wasn’t paying attention to what you were saying, so I had no choice but to pretend I heard.. so I replied, “no comment”. Sounds cool.
I’ve gotten that “no comment” episodes quite a bit recently. It triggered me to think what does the party actually want to say?
Is it a clear “duh” yes or is it a “no” but I don’t want to offend you answer? I must insist that when someone replies “no comment”, he or she does have a comment, after all. It is just the matter of whether it should be laid out or not.
So, if you ask me what is my comment on the Australian Open 2010.
“No comment..”
“No comment lah..”
“Really.. NO COMMENT!!!”
In actuality, I do have comments. I just don’t want to share it here, so I gave the lamest excuse – “no comment” reply. So, do you have any comments?? What are you trying to say? Just say!
Sicko
There were bouts of diarrhoea and vomitting on the wards. A few of my friends were having that and last night, I felt extremely cold. It was hard to tell if it is the surrounding temperature dipping or was it my body’s own temperature. I just felt generally unwell. Malaise, you can call it.
The sleep last night was a huge torture. I was groaning and moaning in my sleep.. hoping for help to come. No help. Obviously. I couldn’t reach out for a sip. Neither could I climb out of bed to get the panadols. The interleukins must have been dancing away.
“If I don’t make it tmr..”
“I’ll bury you”
“I have a will”
“I’ll execute it”
“Thx”
Yes, I was feeling so sick I felt as if I could not make it through the night. It was that bad. I know, I probably have such low tolerance. What flashed through my mind was the patients in the ward I am attached to. They must have been feeling 100000000x more sick than what I was feeling. Yet we go up to them and say, “Hi, can I ask you a few questions? Or, can I examine you?” etc etc.
If me, I would be like.. “NO!!!!!!!!! GO AWAY!”
Such a dread. Anyway, the doctor asked me to sleep and not go out, but I didn’t listen to him and went out for ‘grocery shopping’, so see what happened. Today I am locked up at home, slept for 16 hours or so.. and I feel much better now.
The only thing I truly regret is the fact that I cannot go to the gym.
Henin is back rolling
I remember there was one time she was known as Justine Henin-Hardenne. Anyway, she is back to being Justine Henin now.
I was in Semester 4 when I found out this former No.1 shocked the tennis world to announce retirement out of nowhere. It was like a buzz everywhere. Everyone talked about it. Blogged about it. Speculations everywhere. Opinions and what not.
Today, she is back. She has landed in the final spot to contend for that Grand Slam title Down Under. Against here is none other than.. the current No. 1.
Do you think she can make it? I hope she does. The women tennis is more colourful with the two old-timers Belgian (Kim and Justine) back.
