Crawling out

Thousand apologies for the lack of update.... work has been simply overwhelming. I have been really busy climbing out of this pithole. The climb was arduous, back breaking at times but boy was the air fresher higher up. Exams is just round the corner, and the going is gonna get tougher.
Wish me luck

Rockbottom....

Golly.... all of us has just started our clinics for a few weeks now. It is funny how when we are thrown back into the student mode, it totally screw up the brain. Maybe we have been taking for granted the dr diagnosis all this while and now the part of the brain that has not been used is suddenly triggered alive. Maybe it is the new approach of manual therapy and TDT. Anyway the learning curve is unbelieveably steep now, so steep that I feel that I have slide down beyond the x axis.
THE LEARNING CURVE
The crawl out of this pit is gonna be a painful one. It is friggin' depressing but thank goodness for the few friends who help lift each other's spirits.

I am getting out of here

Just received news that I will be getting a new place next semester, yes, I am moving out. I have nothing much to complain about cromwell college really, it has treated me relatively well except:

1. the feng shui is not very good (I will compile some pics and show you guys the horrendous feng shui orientation)
2. the walls of the cottage is a little too thin, meaning I can hear almost everything that is going on next door.
3. the dinning hall food is not too bad, occasionally recycled and not very healthy (yup, belly getting bigger)
4. the fees is a little too ex, the new accom will save me a cool 2k.
5. not much social order sometimes, kiddies being kiddies like to have fun and party all the time. I don't really blame them, perhaps I was like that at their age.

See, overall I have nothin much to complain about. I am glad that I have stayed at the college. In a way, it has allowed me to mingle with the local kids and of course make some good friends.

Old website

I was clearing some of my bookmarks fav site, when I chance upon a website I did about 5 years ago. I was still in UK then and must have been really bored to make this pictorial site. Have a look:

Me and Andre instinctly grabbed our equipment and ran as fast as we could.
Managed to get away in time before......
The friggin' water sprinkler got us.
Nabei... someone turned the sprinkler on early

The noozle will periodically swivelled and sprayed the articial grass mat as well. Talk about saving watter. Pui!

Quite a beautiful spectacle actually.

Hot Pot

First decent meal for a long time. Few of us gather at Kevin's house and had steamboat/hotpot taiwanese style!
Nice!! It was absolutely lovely.
Everyone really enjoyed it!

Our taiwanese host Throw everything in... anything is better than kandang.

Few days before that, I had the most savory dream. . . I so clearly dreamt that they were serving roast duck rice at the dinning hall, I remembered taking a hugh drumstick and before I took a huge bite, I woke up. Bloody cruel dream. . . so I decided to make this dream a reality

I will never take another roast duck drumstick for granted ever again.
