DAY 153

Feb 1

1) Today has been a particularly long day for me. Woke up as usual for breakfast, before walking to AIB Bank to carry out some transactions. After that, I went to RCSI, just in time for our first lecture at 10am. We had two lectures before lunch break, one on FUN and the other on HBPS.

2) Had my lunch at the Coffee Doc with my friends. Strangely enough, ALL my friends had pasta today, with the exception of yours truly, who had pizza haha. Aisha was very kind to give each one of us an orange, as she had many from the CNY celebrations a couple days back. Shortly afterwards, it was another three straight lectures until 5.00pm, which included a new module, REGUB (Renal, Endocrine, Genitourinary and Breast) Module. Suffice to say, I wasn't thinking straight after everything was over.

3) Took my stuff to the library, where I soon had dinner. Came back to my desk to immerse myself in  my studies. Our primary focus is Friday's exams, which cover everything we've learnt so far for FUN (Immunology, Anatomy) and HBPS modules. In addition we have the Team Project and Individual Project to complete, with Principal Seminars coming up. Oh well, one step at a time I suppose. That's that for my blog update today, and thanks very much for reading. Cheers!

DAY 128

Jan 7

1) Today was another routine day for me. I went to the library immediately after breakfast, and stayed there until late at night. Most of the time I was surfing the Internet looking for things that piqued my interest.

2) For lunch, I reheated my Dunnes pizza (it's an unbelievable deal, 3 pepperoni pizzas for only €2.89!) It tasted awesome in my opinion. Anyway, I had a short nap in the afternoon, and I also looked up some anatomy later in the evening.

3) At around 8.00pm, me and my friends went to Esther's apartment, where we had another very impromptu potluck dinner. Khee Heng had his cottage pie, Jason brought his packet of beef, and Esther had her special ABC soup. I felt really bad because I didn't bring anything (except my stomach XD), but I didn't know about this earlier.

4) We had a whale of a time eating, and watching the animated film "Brave" on Khee Heng's laptop. By the time we finished, it was fast approaching midnight, so I hurriedly packed my stuff and came home. I didn't have time to type this update out, so I figured I'd do it the next day. But I guess I was even more preoccupied then... Anyway, thanks for reading as usual, and have a nice day. Cheers!

Bran flakes for breakfast (for a change XD)

DAY 120

Dec 30

1) Today is the second last day of the year 2016! Oh how time flies... A year older, not necessarily a year smarter though XD. Anyway, today I batch cooked for the next five days, using different pastas and sauces, and I reheated pizza for my lunch. Packed everything and headed to Mercer library, just in time for movie no. 1 - Howl's Moving Castle.

2) The afternoon I spent chatting with my dad on Messenger, before my friend Khee Heng invited me over to sample some of his cottage pie. I am by no means a food critic, but by golly if that wasn't some good pie. Khee Heng wanted to perfect his cooking as he was whipping another batch for our New Year Countdown tomorrow! In my opinion, it does not need any more tweaking - it is as close to professional level as it is possible to get.

3) Spent the rest of the afternoon (and evening) at his apartment. At night, I heated up the fusilli pasta with spicy bolognese sauce, before settling down for yet movie no. 2 - Ponyo. I've watched soooooo many Japanese animated films lately. Before 9.00pm, I had already packed up and walked home. Had a light supper before typing this out. Tomorrow my friends and I are going to Bray, to visit our good friend Andrew. That's all for today's blog update, and as always, thank you very much for reading. Cheers!
