a walk in the park..

Today, after coming back from lecture, zhi and i went to the park for a good walk.. It's really a nice place to take pictures as well as to walk around and enjoy the view and fresh air.. ^.^

snow falling in spring

Hi all, it's tuesday and i'm still on holiday! And know what? I woke up this morning to a sky full of snow! It's been snowing ever since.. Can you believe it? It's already the 21th of April and still snowing.. It feels like it's never going to stop..

The winters here are odd.. I'm not enjoying the world coming to a stand still and i can't wait for spring to come.. I must admit, HOWEVER, i love winter and i still do.. Winter is the time of year i make steamboat, hot soups and all the comfort foods that are too hot to mess with during the summer months. I love to have a good cup of hot chocolate and sit by my window watching the snowfall. The trees would be covered in snow and ice with white frosting that turns the entire neighbourhood into a fairyland.. The city dresses up in its winter finery and the view and atmosphere are wonderful! Besides, it's the season of 'white christmas' and new year.. I enjoy the festivities and warmth of the season.. ^.^

There are many ways to enjoy the winter even though one may not like the cold. This is the time to wear cosy warm sweaters and things that don't work in summer. I love my sweaters and warm socks and fuzzy slippers (i would love the warm fire in the fireplace but too bad we don't have it here).. I love the quietness and magic of snow falling at night.. Most importantly, my very favourite time - snuggling under a blanket with zhi watching a movie on friday night.. ❤

See, how can i not adore winter? ^.^

neuro rocks my world

Hello hello!

Finally some time to breathe.. Today, the 20th of April, is Adolf Hitler’s birthday, and so we have a day off, and most probably tomorrow too.. Sorry for being a lil slow (alright, extremely slow) with updates and all.. I've been really busy and there's just no time to really sit down and post a blog entry.. I've immersed myself in the 'exciting world' of neurology, studying the brain and nervous system.. It's not as easy as it sounds though.. At times I find this subject daunting and stressing me out as there's just so much to study and memorise, but still i do enjoy what i'm learning..

Okie that's it for now, gotta get back to neurology ^.^

Ciao~

Love Story - Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Cause we were both young when I first saw you
^.^

it's been a while...

After four months of cold winter, the sun is finally out, beating the drum of spring.. The snow and ice have started melting away, soon the plants will be springing back to life and turning green again! I’m looking forward to doing some outdoor activities that I have strayed away from for months!

The past 4 weeks had been dedicated entirely to internal medicine rotation, pretty much a hectic one, and I’m completely drained off my energy.. Been so busy with preparing for classes, clerking patients and writing case reports that I lost track of time completely.. Before I realized it’s already April.. Time flies indeed..

I’m so grateful to have Maria Lvovna as our mentor this semester..I do salute her.. No doubt she’s strict but thanks to her I have a better understanding of the natural history of diseases and the development, and there’s definitely improvement in putting diagnosis, and also ECG readings which is so essential in analyzing cardiovascular diseases.

It’s neurology rotation starting tomorrow, which will be for another 2 weeks and plus. Frankly, I’m pretty excited about it for it has always been a field of interest to me.. Guess I’ll have to work even harder for this upcoming rotation as it’s a really challenging subject. Just hope I’ll be able to cope with it, and even master it! ^.^
