We Now Return To Normal Service...

Welcome warmly Wednesday's wandering wards!

Did I scare you into thinking we would be delving into the dark and disturbing world of alliterations again? Well fear not! My funny turn involving similarly starting words has come to a close and I must apologise! What started out as a simple random thought, was unfortunately put into practise...it took me over 3 hours to write that pitiful quantity of words, but once I had started I...just...couldn't...stop...myself!

Thanks guys for the lovely comments last week about missing me at the reunion. I forgot to say this last week as I was overly thinking the actual wording of it all! I'm hoping on heading down either between crimbo and New Year or after New Year; so we will have to majorly re-une again if people are free!

So this week? C'EST NULL! I realise I've said this in all but 1 of my posts now but hey until I get a job and start speaking to other humans again I'll actually tend to have nothing to report!

The highlights this week: Narnia, Penis enlargement, Sky+ HD, Albino dwarf babies, an Amerikorean actor and a transatlantic Thanksgiving! WOW! That actually sounds awesome when I write it like that....shame the stories aren't linked because then it would be like I'm living in a Soap!

Comment with your ideas for a plotline in a soap opera that include all of the above points! PLEASE! I'll let you know mine below this but invisible (mwahahahaha) so no peeking before you post yours!

Phil Mitchell falls through a wardrobe into NARNIA, where he is forced into an alcoholic stupor by the Ice Queen. She then attempts to rape him but has difficulty due to his penis shrivelling due to cold she is, so she pays for him to undergo PENIS ENLARGEMENT surgery. She gets impregnated with ALBINO DWARF BABIES and ditches him moving to America. Phil goes home to Albert Square where he discovers that an AMERIKOREAN ACTOR has stolen his SKY+ HD box. Sick of his crappy plotlines he travels by TRANSATLANTIC cruise to America to see his Ice Queen babies celebrating THANKSGIVING on the way! Oh yeah! Sign me up to write for Eastenders! I'd really draw in some viewers with my hard hitting emotional storylines!

So I'll explain what really happened:

No! Mr Tumnus!

I was saddened earlier this week to discover Narnia is not actually in the back of an old wardrobe inside some creepy old man's house in the middle of nowhere during wartime Blighty! No as you can see from the photographic evidence provided that it, in fact, resides within a dirty old warehouse on the outskirts of Dudley in modern day Blighty! Where do they keep the beavers?! Seriously Mr and Mrs Beaver need a river to dam up...we've got a canal full of murder victims at most...a puddle at least =oS This was obviously soul destroying so as you can imagine I spent a few nights this week crying into my pillow!

The albino dwarf babies and the Amerikorean actor both belong to a more than random textual conversation that I had with our lovely SuSu spanning the vast majority of yesterday. The first text at 10.21 am from SuSu stated: "Why is it every time I see a dwarf I think of you?! :s". Now I don't know about you but when a conversation opens with a line like that I just know it's gonna be a really good one.....It was!

To answer her question (and explain it to you all) it all comes down to a conversation I had with her, a while back, in which I stated my desire to father an albino dwarf baby! Before I get called all the names under the sun may I state two points:

1) "Dwarf" is a medical term (Check Here) as is "Albino" (And Here)
2) This "desire" came from another conversation from friends in a genetics lecture where we were discussing
Multiple Congenital Mutations and probability of cross mutated offspring.

Anyway back at the plot...The very night after I said this to her she proceeded to see 2 people who had dwarfism and 1 who had albinism. I was shocked as I have obviously lived a sheltered life and have never met nor seen a single person who has either condition!

The conversation moved on to a certain American/Korean (or Amerikorean) actor that she likes....ALOT! Also involved was; the hula, man-parts, sex changes, name origins, underlying psychoses and our future together with our pet weasel and hamsters!

We had Sky+ HD installed on last Friday! WHOOP! WHOOP! I am finally managing to drag the trout kicking and screaming into the 21st century! Now I just have to teach her how to work the remote which is turning out to be a lot less stressful than I initially thought...that's not to say it's stress free though!

It was Thanksgiving on last Thursday so happy thanksgiving to any Americans out there. I celebrated mine by emailing and chatting to all my old friends who went back state side after first year. It was lovely to catch up with them again but I'd really love to see them all face to face again sometime soon!

 
I'll finish now with a picture that I print screened from my laptop today of an email I had in my junk folder...




Yes Please!



Believe you me I know I'm not the only person who gets these but now it's getting ridiculous...I mean surely everybody is clued up to the fact it's a massive con! No-one can surely still be falling for it can they? I had one of those "Nigerian banker: please send me you pin and card number" ones the other day. I mean WTF!? They've been around for so long now everyone has heard the Crimewatch pleas and constant reminders that they are fraudulent!? Who is still stupid enough to fall for it? It did actually make me feel a little bit happy tbh; I never got one the first time round so I felt left out. Now however, I feel excepted and part of it all...plus it was nice to send a foul email back to them regarding the consistency of their brain resembling that of the excrement of a farmyard animal's!

Oh and P.S. I baked a pie case today so i can fill it with yumminess tomorrow! I bid you all fare-thee-wells!



Mmmmmm...Crusty!

Your ever humble blogger,
Lovely Jubley Alikay

All the things you miss from your ex; commitment, kissing and ....

Hello hello hello

:D

A cheerier week this week one feels. Seen some good films, currently watching Law and Order: SVU that Robin Williams is in and its the second time i have now seen him playing a weirdo within one week, but more on that later.

Had a busy week, yet again i suppose; mostly work filled so so so much work. Finished two full pieces and now just done research for remaining pieces but need to get them done and finished too!! ARGH even thinking about it is scrambling my brain! but i digress. What were we talking about?

Oh yes, my week. yes work filled and Tuesday, omg tuesday im working at Bowel Cancer UK from 10am-3pm then at Arsenal from 4pm-12am. gosh whilst trying to revise for my viva that's on Wednesday. Thank gaaaawd I've finished the essay that's due Wednesday. YES FINISHED IT A FULL THREE DAYS IN ADVANCE. BOOYAH :D The picture of Sheldon pretty much sums me up at this current moment....

Which is TOTALLY DIFFERENT from last weeks blog!

I've gotten into a comfortable routine with uni and not to be bragging etc but i doing pretty alright grade wise so far. And I've worked damn hard for those results so yah am happy (cue Sheldon again). But gotten to know all the lecturers pretty well and its like a totally different format compared to undergad. M/\D not sure if it's the same for you but feels more relaxed and the lecturers actually know my name and that I'm 'Quirky' to quote one lecturer. And i also call out if i think i know the answer, sometimes i'm right, sometimes i'm not but i like it. Don't like hearing my voice back so much but i can handle that cringe :P

The only thing is, i'm not sure it goes down so well with others on the course that i have a kind of personal relationship with most of them, but oh well, they can suck my Kurt Geigers.

Oooh, oooh, oooh talking of shoes. We picked our family secret santa on Sunday. Pretty happy with mine, got my brothers GF whom i get on well with and shes pretty easy to buy for so that's that present sorted!! Woo. But i have asked for my present i have asked for something i desire very strongly. As most of you know, one of my biggest weaknesses is shoes...ahhh shoooes.

So here is what i want:

They are just so beautiful. They would offer me untold joy. There is nothing like the pair of beautiful shoes to make your life complete!

This week I've watched two films of note; Shaft the one with Samuel L Jackson which was totally unbelievable but still fan-tas-tique. And a film with Robin Williams that made me cringe throughout but i did kind of enjoy. i think it was called 'One Hour' and he plays a stalker whos a fricking weirdo! but i would recommend it.

I would now Ladies and Gentleman, like to take a little time and move onto our regular slot of 'Loneliness and Forever Alone'

Sadly nothing new to report this week. Sad but true. And as my brother pointed out sunday 'Oh look everyone is part of a couple except you' which just lifted my mood so much! -.-

just so you all know, i'm open to you all setting me up :P

Soooo thats been my week, much cheerier and back to my garbled self :D

Food of the week: Nachos, Cheese, salsa and sour cream

Song of the week: We can never be friends - The Streets

Peace out mis amigos

Love

Sigh no more, no more

Hello! I just came to say hello! Hello-o-o-o-o!





So what has happened this week....well the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since I'm feeling all festive because christmas time is here, happiness and cheer  (even though its not december yet) I decorated the whole house in lots of lights and sparkles, it's like flashing lights lights lights lights! Plus I put up the tree! Smiles all around!  I definitely know that Santa Clause is coming to town because I've spent days wrapping pressies and  making cards. It just puts a smile on your face...well it is the most wonderful time of the year. (I apologise for the major cheese there but it's inevitable)

So as I was doing all my Christmas shopping (since october, waaaay ahead of all the shops might I add) I add all the things that I find interesting to my wish list, and boy I am greedy! Diamonds and rubies, I'm crazy bout Bentley's, Gucci dresses and drop top kompressors (what are they?!) My Amazon books list is currently up to 53 books! Despite that I've decided on/bought Xmas pressies for everyone apart from my sister...which doesn't help considering her b-day is coming up too...ideas anyone?! I know what I want to get her but there are way too many options, plus she is on picky lady! *Sighs*

Also I realise how slow my life is because of how on top of my Xmas shopping I am! No one is ever on track when it comes to Xmas shopping!!!!! Trying to make it work but man these times are hard *Sighs*

Wednesday was the Saving Londoner's Lives Annual dinner and awards night. Yes exciting stuff! Well free food plus endless supply of free wine and chance to get all dolled up is enough to convince me, and the cherry on top- Boris Johnson's speech writer was there so bonus!!! (NOT) Oh what a night, hypnotising, mesmerising me because I got a certificate!!! Yep I got a certificate for being a "medical Student who has been to 5 or more schools in the past 6 months". Yep oh na na, what's my name! Yes thats me Jessica Pie, medical student. Only made worse by the fact that I had spoken to everyone on my table saying that I don't go to schools to help teach. Oh and they had to say my name, say my name and said "you can't hide from us" because I sat in my chair in shock (but they get bonus points for pronouncing my name right!). And to top it all off we had to pose for a photo of the Boris woman handing me my certificate! They don't need evidence of unintended deception! She was like "And I know YOU have been to many more than 5 schools"....she wasn't being sarcastic either......I walked the ultimate walk for shame back to my table...oh and I had my 'I've been drinking' (i.e. red, just incase you didn't get it) face on which was an even bigger shame......*sighs*

Then after that I did what any falsely accused person would do and go to ULU, poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard, when we drink we do it right gettin slizzard! Massive apologies to Alikay for the constant calling....and conversations.....

Friday I played hairdressing with my sister and her boyfriend- blackmailed him by saying everyone needs a haircut from me to be fully accepted into the family (- insert evil laugh here!). I cut my hair too...yesterday....at 2am......the bees buzzing kept me awake, so what else was I supposed to do! I'm as free as my hair! I am my hair! *Sighs*


Saturday was Kpop night!! WHOOOOOOOOP! So before I speak about kpop, there is a new shopping mall in St Pauls, called New Change (or something along those lines) and it has a roof top garden with a beautiful view of St Pauls....very romantic spot, although I will say that the view from the lift is more stunning since it directly faces it and you get a full view. So I really wanted to share this with you, esp the lift view. We are going up and down like Merry-go-round. Man I swear I am out of my mind. But it goes up and down  waaaay to quickly and we went up and down 12 times...and out of the 24 pictures I took this was the best....plus going up and down that fast with alcohol in the system is not good! In my head, it's going down, in my head yeah. So basically I think you're all going to have to see it for yourselves.....REUNION! Perfect if we sneak some drinks up too :P

From the Roof Garden

From the lift......11th attempt

Ok so K-pop was great! Su-su seemed to be having a great night with Ga*coughs*v*coughs*n  :P I had a good time too. Got hit on my a supposedly cute korean/chinese/hey we all look alike so let's just say asian guy. Didn't manage to get a proper look, just a glimpse at what he was wearing, he had style. Just goes to show I've got the moves like Jagger. But I got slightly shocked and scared so quickly pushed him away. Well, sometimes I run, sometimes I hide, sometimes I'm scared of you. 

Btw 'hows the prom' and 'hows the porn' and scarily similar to type so type, READ then send!! *Sighs*

Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend!

Until next time,

Jessiepie

ERRRRMMMM....let's try this again....

Hi guys!!!

I was gonna post a really short message this week (and promise to make it up to you guys next week!) because I have an exam tomorrow and have done like nil work towards it so far! *sigh*


SO yesterday was Kpoptastic!!!! It was so much fun and I have a few pictures from the night to put up but to be honest I was having too much fun to take too many pictures! I'm sorry to report Madz I didn't manage to take a picture with HIM but we were at the bus stop and this weird trampy dude thought we made a cute couple so that's worth the consideration?! :s lol

I was thinking recently that sometimes it's funny how some one totally unexpected can end up liking you and you never see it coming! As all of you know by now I have the WORST taste in the world when it comes to picking guys. I mean if he's mean, arrogant, snobby, unavailable, emotionally withdrawn or just not quite right in the head then HELLO HANDSOME! Now I wish that I was vain enough to only date hotties but it just so happens that my taste in personality is only mimicked by my taste in looks!!!! T.T


NOW at this point I'd usually say something along the lines of "I'm so off men now" but again we all know me and that would be nothing short of a total lie!!! However, I have decided to never date a guy again without getting the approval of at least 10 people who know me and my retarded ways. SO I will put up a picture of Gavin (i.e. HIM) and give you guys a brief description and hopefully after meeting him we can all make a collective decision about the future of my love life!!!! I think it really does come down to a GROUP EFFORT to rid me of my current chain of cursed events!!! :s lol

P.s. Madz how wrong would it be for me to meet Mike? Give me a scale of 1-10. BUT first note that I am TOTALLY over him and even though he is very hot and totally awkward (i.e. my type!) I have kept a clear distance and think I should be rewarded for all my efforts.... right?! :|

As I have no pictures this week, I will instead post my favourite song out at the moment. Funnily enough it is NOT Korean but pretty brilliant nonetheless and ties in to my whole "Ai" theme of this post!

The Sunday after and the day before the exam!!!!

Challenge No.4

 CAPTION CHALLENGE

Hello guys and girls, for my first crack at this I thought i'd keep it close to home. Take a gander  below....

GOOD LUCK!

"She was facebook stalking my dad for 2 hours last week"

Hello everyone, glad you caught me just in time for this latest update. It has been a very mundane week interperesed AND bookended by interesting events, especially the last 24 hours.

Look a little bit like this lol

To begin with last Saturday I went to the long awaited partial reunion with the very best friends from my time at Queen Mary and beyond, and I say partial because Alex (Alikay) couldn't attend and was sorely missed. I say beyond because just because we have all graduated won't stop us being still being good firends. Amongst the large group who were there, Jessiepie, Kates, B/E and Susu_A came, a few familiar names to those who visit ATSH? often. It was lovely to see them all as we rocked up to Hyde Park and drank in the sights and sounds of the eternally festive Winter Wonderland. The rides, attractions, mulled wine and giant plastic Father Christmas were enough to warm the heart of the most cold-hearted Scrooge. I've been in the past and had good memories, the same is true of that evenings visit to the fertile firey Christmassy island fighting back the dark cold of the barren winter months. I will go back again, I will bring my kids here! Anyways, we followed up trip with a fun group meal at Thai restaurant Busaba and dessert in Leicester square :)

After the weekend's excitment we move onto my working week at uni which comprised surprisingly boring lectures, but gratefully more interesting lab practicals. We have to be put in pairs for these labs and I randomly got allocated to the one person (out of about 31) I would have preferred not to....

Yes you've guessed it, G, that girl on my course who won't seem to leave me alone. As I established in the last few posts, I'm no longer worried she's after me in THAT way but still I would have liked to spend two weeks working with someone else, just so you know, I meet new people. But as it turns out the awkwardness doesn't stop just because we're in the lab and wearing latex gloves, ah well. On Tuesday, however, I was able to discover over a lunch with a group of others on my course including G that she is 27 and has a BOYFRIEND apparently. Sort of shocking enough on it's own, but when she said he not only lives in Nigeria but is in fact Nigerian the penny dropped (for those of you who don't know, that's where my family is from). I thought maybe I remind her of him and that's why as someone else on my course put it G 'follows me everywhere' *wonders*

Pondering done, last night (Thursday) I attended my friend's birthday meal and bowling  at All Star Lanes in Holborn. We were supposed to bowl too but circumstances conspired against our best intentions. I had fun catching up with some of my old stewarding friends who came, and you can find one of the quotes of the night in this posts title :D It was an american diner style place so I kept it simple with an 8oz Beef burgerand fries, I was starving and it hit the spot. Side note, you know when you see someone up close and you're just like WOW? Well the wow factor in question last night happened to be a friend of the birthday girl who happened to be sitting opposite me at dinner. Probably out of my league, but a good sense humour is a very attractive thing (plus she was HOT) and would certainly not be upset if I ran into her again.

A guy can dream right? speaking of dreams prior to the birth of ATSH?, little old me sent in a UCAS application  to four medical schools and today (Friday) I got my first invite for an INTERVIEW!!! I'm really happy and relieved. The first perosn I told was my mum and she was overjoyed to say the least. But now the slow build up to January 17th 

WISH ME LUCK 

I think that's more than enough for today. 

Until next time.

M/-\D

Top 5 things I'm looking forward to in the next 7 days

1. My friends surprise birthday party Saturday

2.  Seeing 50/50 Wednesday

3. Another friend's birthday party Friday

4.  Being done with lab work Wednesday

5. Eating Pizza at some point :)

WEEKEND IS AHEAD!!!

I have almost forgotten to update the lovely people out there about my life, however little you are interested in it. Unfortunately my week hasn't been too exciting since my last update, but I shall try and keep it as entertaining for you as possible (possibly by joking about my own misfortune).

Here goes, I made the decision to go into work last saturday and sunday because I have too much to do, but my amazing friends have also organised a reunion in London. So, despite the fact I'm fully aware of the distance between Bristol and London, I went to the reunion and stayed in London for EXACTLY 3 hours, fun times. Was lovely to meet up with people though, also the dinner I paid for was OVERPRICED! The supposed crab fried rice consisted of rice, spring onion and...wait for it...EGG!!! To no extent could I taste anything fishy in my food, so that was slightly disappointed, but my friends were there to make it up for the lack of fishiness in my food, so it was all good.

Work related wise, eurghhh, that's enough said. I haven't had a single day off for 3 weeks, with 14 hours on average per day. But on the up side, I have decided to take the coming weekend off to pay mi madre a visit back home. So, I'm REALLY looking forward to be able to eat proper food and do my laundry (I'm running low on clothes, so I have resorted to some older and in my opinion quite hideous clothes I've got in the wardrobe), photo omitted to avoid public uproar. However, you can look at the following picture as a general reference.

On a quite a separate note, a "colleague" of mine, and I did use colleague and not friend. Said to me yesterday, "I noticed you are not a very people person". That came out of nowhere and, thankfully, I have quite good self control and didn't cause him any bodily harm. However, the next when he started talking to me, I did retaliate with, " I'm too anti-social to talk to you". That's it for now, so until next week! Toodles!

Wednesday Went Worryingly Wacky With Words...

Welcome once again, my wonderful Wednesday-ers, to the insanity corner! Are you confining yourself cross-legged and comfortably? Yes? Good! Then let us begin!

So peering at the plethora of previous posts I have been pushed to pondering the pertinence of those permanent and semi-permanent parallel peoples, pegged as partners, at present and in the past! Moreover, my musings into my own manifestations of premarital mating matches leaves me morose; to mention my matchless modern membership.

In the irrefutable outcome; I imagine I am in-sync inadvertently with an incomprehensible integer. For, this forlorn fathoming brings to the forefront a fantasy firmly fixed in the foundation of our fallible faith! The thought that though, in truth, this Terra is teeming with thousands of troglodytes, there is to the thinker only themselves to suffer this temper.

Unfortunately I, not unusually, have undergone this understanding, and under the unfairly felt undoing, touched only by the uncaring have undervalued uniform pleasures and fell to unfulfillment. Can I candidly call to the canny conscious cognisance the callous and coarse case of my own cobwebbed carnal course. That being so, may I boldly and rather brashly bow to my fellow brave blogger's unbound blog bearing the brunt of her bearing regarding the besotting boys being absent. With no woe I welcome her heart-warming wisdom, while others this week warranted my wondering within would-be philosophy.   

Having happened to hover unhurriedly on the humdrum; I hastily hatch to hit hard, further hindrance. And after all the awesome affirmations I adhere to alter the advance to affairs aimed at my pre-advent adventures.

So sadly the seven sequential days prior to this syllabic summery, stayed somber, and similar synonyms that share that solemn symbolisation, save a select set. Let me leave out the less than luscious list of leisure activities left to Thursday; the most lux being a libation limited to a little cider and a look in on my lovely Nan.



Snowflakes That Stay On My Nose And Eyelashes!

Even Friday existed evacuated of excitement; I earned an extraction by eventually endeavoring to execute my elegant elucidation to the eyes and elongated nose. Difficult Saturday dragged dear old me down to discuss this dismal weeks' data with dad and the doting, decrepit Nan, done in I departed before I digressed dangerously. Graciously I greeted Golf on grand and green grass on Sunday; the gross fog guarded our gregarious gift to guage, and guide our ball to its goal. Monday just jokingly journeyed past without jolly, jovial or joyous occurrence and Tuesday joined in its jealous juxtaposition. Neither, not that I, naive, nurtured notions of emotional nourishment, has this new named nocturnal relief nudged normality nastily or nicely off the narrow nailhead to which it is now native.

Relieved; I render my reaction now my ridiculous rabbiting is replete, may I remark on my readers for resigning rather readily to recognise my resplendent repetition of runes. Very virtuous of my visual visitors whom venture to volunteer their valuable time to the void of my viscous volumes.

Once more, one must opt to openly offer my own obligation, for you out there optimising my optimism to overcome the oppression of my occupation and I open my oath to originate more ordered oblivion!

Your ever humble blogger,
Lovely Jubley Alikay

I swear I never meant to leave you in the rain...

Hello one and all

well, another dull week for me, except for Saturday which was AWESOME!!! Alex you were sorely missed though. I have vowed to wear my false eyelashes at all times as they seemed to get a good reaction from everyone which made me SMILE. Also Zuby staying at mine was a brilliant new experience. She saw the wall of fame for the first time :D

Sooo the past week has been rather average, which is incredibly dull i know and doesn't make for verry exciting reading and i do apologise for that. BUT i will try, just for you all because i loves ya :D

sooooo....whats being going on with this little homie?

Well i have FINALLY caught up on the big bang theory and i am so utterly in love with sheldon its ridiculous. I know its hard to believe as he is so anal etc etc but i think me and him could be very happy together. But on a serious note, i do think that he and Penny do have a soft spot for each other deep down and could make a very cute couple <3 but then maybe i am just delusion :D but i am also glad Sheldon has stopped his hate of Wil Wheton.

I've spent a lot of time this week downloading music, mostly old tunes but some excellent new remixes (yes i am talking about T-Pains sample of Lily Allen) added into the mix. I've also been a little poorly this week. Think my immune system is generally just crashing due to the amount of stress i happen to be under. Although, i have completed 3 assignments i still have another like 5 to do :/ soo a touch of happiness dabbled with that ever so depressing rain cloud that can be seen in the not so distant horizon.

Uni this week had nothing of real note to mention, or at least nothing that i can dredge up from my memory that was worthwhile. The crush front has died down a little and yes i know some of you out there think i am incredibly fickle (no need to mention any names) but its kinda like i see the dude and my heart races and i blush and my mind melts but really and truthfully we have had no real discussion so i have no idea of his likes/dislikes etc etc. Also he has a gf and i would never go there, because it is a horrible situation if you are the girlfriend (i would know and it actually sucks so bad) sooo im thinking that i shall look to pastures greener.

I've realised ive been in a poop mood for the past couple of blogs and i do apologise but i just do actually think its cos the work has piled up on me and stress makes me feel so unwell :( enough of the self-pity though.

But i would like a bf now, i think im ready to embark on a proper relationship once again. Part of the problem is though, where do people meet each other? the general answer is at uni or work or in a social setting such as a bar or club etc. But i can't see how this is. i mean at uni you make amazing friends that you love but not in that way, work for me would mean a footballer and while im open to that (hello aaron ramsey) its never going to happen. And bars/clubs/pubs don't really seem to be the place to meet someone that doesn't want you just for sex. Because that is just another horrible feeling. You start to really like someone and then you realise that they actually don't care about you, or your brain or your personality but rather just how you look and more importantly how you look out of your clothes. Since Eoin, who whilst i no longer talk to or have respect for, did at least treat me well when we were together (most of the time) :/ this has happened to me and recently an old friend got in contact with me just to tell me how pretty id got since i was 16 and wanted to hook up.

I don't want that to be the story of my life

I know i can give off this kinda hard persona sometimes and laugh and joke but really like most people i just wanna sometimes sit at home with someone and just chill; no make up, in my pjs , stuffing my face.

Who knows maybe it will happen soon, but at the end of the day my main concern is getting my studies completed and to the highest standard.

I'm sorry that this was a slightly, okay majorly depressing blog but I've been doubting myself recently and just felt this was a good medium to let it out in.

and i'm not doing it for self-pity or pity from you guys cos i'm really and truly not, its just this is what has happened to me in the past week.

So

a sign off from me this week:

Food of the week: Hula Hoops

Song of the week: Amelia Jean by Jack's Mannequin

Peace out to you all

So much loveage

Kates <3

Friends, food, finances and finally......fornication?!

A BIG Yellow Hello :)


So just like the topic of poo, I bet you didn't think I'd be the first to talk about sex. Well you're just going to have to wait (or scroll to the end) to read about it. So here is the next blog instalment! Enjoy!!!! 

Well have I had an interesting week! And of course I must start with the best day of them all............SATURDAY!!! of course! 
It was so amazing seeing you guys again! And Alikay, your absence was definitely noticed, but at least we got to chat that day (^^). B/E, I am so happy you managed to come! Even if it was for a short time. Next reunion should be Christmas themed! Even though we went to Winter Wonderland....anyway it did make me reminisce about the first time I ever went to Winter Wonderland which was with other Biomeds. And we were dancing outside when snow started to fall! It was such a magical moment. And this Saturday just added to that moment. Winter Wonderland is just full of happy moments, which I guess is common for most. 

So Dim sum is becoming a very common thing in my posts. But this time, in the form of CAKE!! For Frenchy Pillai's birthday I bought her a bamboo steamer, not because Im chinese therefore am only capable of buying Chinese things but because she had mentioned that she wanted one. Anyway, I decided to make her cake in the shape of dim sum to match the theme. At the same time there is a Style Magazine competition for baking which my sister and I entered. They are currently deciding the shortlist but when they do I would really appreciate some votes. Not sure when the voting starts but VOTE HERE when it does. Of just click to read about the competition. I'm not getting my hopes up but there's no harm in trying I guess....plus, free trip to JAPAN!!! 


Oh speaking of Japan, went to Yo! Sushi on Saturday too (very satisfyingly packed and fun day) and although it is highly overpriced (but we had 30% off) the deserts are amazing! So First we have the chocolate mochi which is 'OMG HEAVEN' good. The custard pancakes with raspberry sauce, then lemon and shortbread and last but by no means least, chocolate mouse with meringue. Now you've probably guessed that I'm a sucker for interesting ice cream flavours, this one is sesame (I also had the chestnut) both of which I could each tubs of. Salivating now just thinking of them =_=

So as you have seen, via the book of face during the week I did a lot of vegetable chopping. So this was finished off by onion chopping, and yes I cried like hell! I cried as if it was the end of the world!! As if LOTR never existed cried or Gandalf dies twice! But any one would if they have 40 onions to chop! Highlight, was this interesting double onion!! It's like my very own double rainbow moment! Anyways, after 3 days of chopping I finally managed to make a lifetime supply of a Mauritian dish- Ashar. It's sort of like spicy, preserved vegetables. Now I said lifetime supply, however in our monster food eating family, it lasted a week! 

This week, I got mail! Now I don't know about you but I've always loved getting mail, purely because I never get mail. However, as you grow older you start to HATE mail and realise it is not such a good thing, and this week I've discovered why. I received a lovely letter from student finances saying that I need to start paying back the fairly large loan that I have built up these past 3 years. It also said that I need to clarify that I am unemployed.....WORST MAIL EVER!!! Not only did it remind me of *whispers* the debt but it also decided to throw unemployment into my face! *sighs*

Ok so on to the main event that you are all wondering about:

So I have a close friend (actually close friend, not me!), the quiet kind of person, who has been going out with her boyfriend for about 2 years now. So she is very strict in the 'no sex before marriage' thing. So I find out recently that she and her boyfriend have had sex....but she's still a virgin......yes hmmm, questions suddenly pop into your mind right! Well same here. So basically, instead she has given herself a more painful ordeal and did so with her previous boyfriends too. Please, I hope you know what I mean because I am DEFINITELY NOT spelling it out for you any more. Ok, so she believes that this way she can keep her virginity but still please her boyfriend. Now I can see where she is coming from, but I don't agree that it would still 'count'. Now I'm not judging her, but at the same time I'm not going to lie, my opinion of her did change (not in a bad way but I just never would have imagined her to do it like that- it's always the quiet ones!!! :P) and yes, I've known her for so many years, and just never would have expected it. I think it came more as a shock than anything else.  Also, the fact that I didn't hear it from her and our WHOLE friendship group knows because the guy (whom I never really liked, but at the same time had to accept) is a douche and blabbered about it to EVERYONE, and the worst thing is, she has no idea that everyone knows!!! So I did some research- mainly trusty wiki (and deleted my history) and I still stand by my view. So, I wanted to open this up to you guys for discussion. What do you guys think? Does it 'count'? Also, should I tell her that everyone knows? *ponders till head hurts* (in my defence it is 3.30 am!)

Looking forward to reading your replies

Oh and I know I have a lot of pictures but was just so excited about adding more mini hats to my collection!! So cute!!! PLus I didn't want the last thing I talk about to be about fornication :P

Aren't they the cutest! Well FYI if you buy an innocent smoothie with a hat but don't want the hat, please save it for me!!!

It;s been fun chatting,

Until next week!!!

Needle-stick, dealing with pricks and a bit of Gogol Bordello

HOLA MES AMIGOS!!!!!!



¿Cómo estás?




It was lovely seeing you guys last night (and Alex you were sorely missed!!!). It seriously was just what the doctor ordered after a pretty rubbish week back in hospital!


As I moaned to most of you guys yesterday about my week, I will refrain from an encore performance but sum it up for those of you who missed out on my splendid monologue. So here is the sum up!




Monday: 6hr ward round from hell with hot Italian registrar (mean mario)









Tuesday: 2hr ward round from the depths of hell with not as hot but doubly mean Italian consultant (evil luigi) which resulted in 7 out of our 20 patients breaking down into tears... followed by a lecture by him on how he usually has that affect on people including his medical students. GREAT!!!!














Wednesday: Got a needle-stick injury courtesy of evil luigi!




Thursday: Spent the day between A&E and Occup. Health trying to sort of needle-stick and being further prodded and poked (worth noting I have an extreme phobia of needles!!!)





Friday: FY1 collapsed mid-morning and bleep was handed over to me... OH THE HORROR!!!! I spent the day maning wards and taking crap from a male nurse who didn't have the gonads to say anything to ACTUAL doctors but wanted to show he was the big man on campus by having a go at me! A brilliant end to an awesome first week wouldn't you say?!




SO THIS BRINGS US TO FRIDAY NIGHT:

I went to a gig in Camden to see a band called Gogal Bordello. Now for those of you who have not heard of GB (basically me until last week). They are a bunch of Ukrainians/Russians/ a black dude and a Japanese lady. They do punk gypsy music and the lead singer Eugene most likely suffers from split personality disorder (he's just really weird!). It was an awesome night none the less which was highlighted by a big rolly-polly man jumping through the crowd and falling over my bag on the floor and taking out a good portion of the middle section of the crowd! It was truly epic! I have attached a clip of my favourite performance. It's from the actual gig and I am somewhere in the crowd!!! ^.^

BTW guys! Don't forget next week Saturday is K-pop!!! Jess would you mind helping me arrange things? Dinner/ pre-drinks followed by a night of groovy dance moves to such classics as "sorry, sorry"! BRING ON THE FUN TIMES!!! ^.^








I probably should include something about a "friend" of mine coming along to K-pop but that story is probably best left to a face-face/ google + convo! Maybe this coming Thursday if everyone is free???





ANYWAYZ there's a patient case study with my name on it sitting nicely next to me that is requiring some TLC!




until next Sunday...





HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK GUYS!!!!!!

Challenge No. 3: The Results

...and the winner is...

Ah well there can only be one person to take the title of challenge champion this week. I mean literally it is only possible for one person to get it as there was only one submission! =oS

This week has been a busy one for a good deal of bloggers however, JessiePie (The winner by all accounts) still managed to post her brilliant but slightly concerning prose =oP 

In the style of the old challenges JessiePie I give thee a pass! 

See you in 6 weeks =o)

Posters, Pain and Paranormal Eliminations

Welcome guys and girls, 
I've been a little preoccupied of late and had let our last visit slip, but fear not I'm able to offer a unique two for one special to help catch up. Click HERE to travel even further back in time *queue Dr Who theme*.....

I mentioned being preoccupied and that was down to the unfortunate situation of having two MASSIVE deadlines for the Monday of this week, thanks a lot MSc! These were, a A0 size (massive by the way) academic poster which I'd have to present on said Monday and a 2.000 word essay on something sciencey and only slightly interesting . As a result, on the weekend I was as STREEESSSSSEDDD  as poor Fry here
and this wasn't helped by the fact the professional printer I went to messed my order so I had to find somewhere new to print off my poster with a day to spare! I owe many thanks to Susu (welcome to the blog!) for practically saving my life with an ace recommendation. 
Thankfully, my poster turned out fine and my presentation went fairly OK, even though I was very nervous. I was also very glad to be shot of that evil essay. 
Queue a well deserved rest (chocolate and SLEEP).

I know, he's holding his right  leg lol

As it turned out perhaps I should have carried on sleeping right through Tuesday considering the state I ended up in. Allow me to explain. As some of you know, I'm partial to a spot of running and with Tuesday's track session over successfully I confidently began a warm down jog only to have an explosion of pain erupt from my left calf. Unceremoniously knocked off my feet with what I can only describe as the WORST cramp i've ever had, it was up to Zoe who's in my training group and Ron a throwing coach/physio to tend to me. VERY EMBARRASSING. I was able to get up on my feet and limp/be carried of the track before too long. Riveting as this little story is, I wouldn't have mentioned it had I not been stupid enough to think I was fine two days later and precede to relapse into fits of pain during a trip to the gym, EVEN MORE EMBARRASSING! 

Hey, don't worry it's not all pain and ice packs. On Wednesday I had the pleasure of going to see GHOSTBUSTERS at the IMAX thanks to the wonderfully Frenchy Pillai (I'm following the trend Jessie) who won the tickets but couldn't go herself. I love this film and just the right amount of time had elapsed since my last viewing. So my friend Jan and I went along and enjoyed the fantastic Dan Ackroyd and Bill Murray (the latter steals the show). I dare anyone not to sing along to the theme song..

Have a great weekend, drop by again soon.

M/-\D

Top 3 things that made me laugh this week

1). Old Jews Telling Jokes (not being offence, it's a programme on BBC4. Highly recommend)

2). Bill Murray in Ghostbusters

3). Jess's mild facebook frape
