fond memories

Time flies, it’s the last day of hols! I don’t really feel rested to tell the truth. And I don’t feel like I have played enough. One week is simply too short!!!

Starting my psychomed posting, quite excited actually since I have always been interested in psychiatry… hee. But yar this also marks the first time in 16 weeks that I would be seeing unfamiliar faces. Its funny how long ago it seems like when I just got to know my new cg… and yet that part of my life has come to an end and I am moving on. Everyone is moving on.

Boohoo. Having spent 16 weeks with Esther, Eugene, Philey, its going to be hard trying not to miss their presence. Especially since we have such mo qi! First at AH, when xinxin and nana were still with us, then at sgh, when it was just the four of us. It was really sad when xinxin and nana left us and went to ttsh for med, but it was through these 2 months at sgh that I really got to know the three of them better.

Esther: my ex-rv clsmate, whom I used to not know very well, but kept bumping into since I came into med! She was the interviewee in the same room just before me! Haha. And it took me this long to discover that we are actually really similar in our thinking and the food we eat (or rather, those that we don’t… muahaa!) In my rv days, I have always thought that she was quite different from me, cos we hang out with different crowds.. I was the nerdier one hee! But somehow, it seems like I was wrong all this while! And woah don’t be fooled by her innocent look! Theres a side of her that’s really really funny, and she’s really cheeky too! But yar this may be due to the bad influence of Eugene lah… =P and yes! Almost as greedy as me for all things chocolate and durianish! But I often wonder why I am twice her size… *bewildered* ahha always salivate whenever we passed by the display case on polar café… over the yummy-looking choc cake! And always try ways and means to find an excuse to buy the cake… like whoever’s bdae it its, she will just perk up and offer to buy the cake! Haha too bad we didn’t succeed though… alas. And she’s my great protector! Whenever philey tries to stress me up or disturb me, esther the peaceful will morph into esther the tigress! Makes me rather touched actually… hehe.

Eugene: best remembered as my og-mate who was often MIA due to erhmm!!! His pak-toh sessions with esther during medicamp!! So didn’t really got to know him that well during that time… now that I do! Well, he is really funny and crappy lah. And really really sweet to esther! But the funny thing is, people don’t feel uncomfortable hanging out with them alone leh. At least I don’t, though I tend to feel awkward when I am alone with couples! And Eugene is really nice, not just to esther but to all his friends too!! Having survived thaibetes with him, its like having gone through a terrible war! Had numerous occasions when we just had to keep asking ppl what horrible experiences they had with thaibetes until we were both so dejected and disgusted that we didn’t want to study for our test anymore…oh well when faced with a horrible tester its always better to have a gd friend taking it with you than ur worst enemy lah.

Philey: more or less my constant clerking partner (except on the rare occasions when we having cold wars haha!) well this guy is really a social animal, except he seems to be a sincere social animal! Really good at making new friends, be it the secretaries or the tutors, and esp the aunties in the wards seem to adore him! Not me though. Haha! We are like yuan jia, have to fight oh on average thrice a week at least! Cos smhow he likes to irritate me! Haha ok mebbe I am being biased lah. But he tends to evoke the worst in me, such that I can be really mean to him. Hee. Thinking bad feel quite bad, but hey! My mean-ness wasn’t totally unwarranted. But he is actually a great friend lah. At the end of the day we will still be friends (after our cold wars). Will miss my daily scolding session with him; I scold he listens. Haha! Its become quite a daily habit already…

Many many fond memories… like the four of us pretending to be jugglers and getting into formation, then with a “1,2,3… throw!” we will fling our tendon-tappers towards each other and catch it skillfully with a flair that the circus performers will turn green with envy over (yar rite). We do this everywhere! And we are really quite good at this! Haha. And the numerous times they sat in my car and totally went berserk over my mashi maro… fighting over it like kids, and trying to do REALLY weird things to it. like making it dance and trying to PR it (tts Eugene!), and stealing my mashi’s great woolly hat and wearing it to class in sgh (philey of course…) gosh. Quite embarrassing really. Most occasions esther n I would have to avert our eyes. Haha… and the guys have this funny jiggly tummy-bumping dance they do whenever they feel happy! And we have unedited footage of one of their numerous wrestling sessions in the students’ lounge…

Oh well. Really do hope that we will keep in touch even though we have all gone our separate ways… its really not easy to have met a random grouping whereby everyone is just so much on my wavelength and so fun to be with! Will miss our lan sessions, mass ban-mian eating sessions (the auntie recognizes us and even gives us extra ikan bilis!), ice-cream sessions! will really miss these guys lots... =/
