Finally, an engagement is announced. The only downside is William giving his mum's engagement ring to Kate. Beauty ( or lack of it ) aside, the ring hardly conjures moments of happiness so perhaps this wasn't such a thoughtful gesture on William's part. But as I shan't be the one wearing the ring....and obviously Kate has no problems with this judging from the wide smile on her face.( see picture above)...I  wish them both a long lasting marriage.

Black bean sauce noodles

Jajangmyeon. If you are fortunate enough to go to Korea please taste this and drop me a comment. I would want it to taste nice and salty. Eating it looks rather messy. The episodes which feature characters slurping their black bean noodles look suspiciously clean. I wonder how many takes they do in reality.

A day off work

A very grand view with glorious sunshines. Solaris Dutamas.

I thoroughly enjoyed the day off work. Woke up spontaneous at half seven. ( Yes annoying isn't it? the one day I can sleep in and my body fights sleep). Due to the work hours I rarely see much sunshine....which made this lovely sunny morning trigger a spot of headache. It was one of those nagging ones which ebbs when you're spending money( thankfully ) but goes up a couple of notches when you're resting.( distressing). 

Currently watching this korean drama

I'm not sure whether I've mentioned this before, but this series was pretty hard-going the first 1.5 DVDs. Mainly because the main character acted like a fool and he's only just decided to be more "regal" and sensible two episodes back. The leading lady ( I'm assuming it's going to the Court Lady Yan ) isn't as pretty as the last heroine from "The Princess Hours". So THAT took a lot of getting used to. She and the Prince ( who used to deliver black bean noodles ) behaved stiffly and really clawed each other at nearly every encounter. Very juvenile! Acting skills could have been bunged up a bit too. 

Black bean noodles seem to have played an important role in both the series I've watched so far. I'm going to assume it's big in Korea. Probably like our maggi goreng:)

Two birthdays:)

4th ee poh's ice-cream birthday cake

Chronologically, we celebrated mummy's birthday first but 4th ee poh gets her birthday mentioned first. This is because she celebrated her 94th birthday on Sunday. The electric pink birthday cake had ice-cream layers which was yummie.

WE celebrated mummy's birthday with chocolate cake( which she said was gorgeous) and a single red velvet cupcake. To remind us of the very interesting red velvet session we had during my last trip home. Happy Birthday to the two ladies who share many inspiring qualities. I'm so proud to be in the same family as the two of you. God Bless always.

Got my hands on the last copy of this book. And am feeling mighty SMUG about it. No prizes for guessing what I'm currently reading. Completed "the wedding planner" this am. Ironing/hoovering/violin practise....and READING!!!

Currently reading...

I don't think I've read books by this author before. A very shallow reason why I got this book. Quite simply, the eye-catching book cover. Don't you think it's lovely? It hasn't disappoint. I'm 1/4 through and the storyline just gets better and better. Set in Sydney....which is exciting because I've visited the place once and reading the description of the surroundings..I can imagine the scene played out. Lovely!

A fortunate find last weekend

I'm a great fan of Ruby Ferguson's pony books. The funny thing is, I don't particularly like horses. Sat on one once and the elevated height made me nauseous. Ferguson's style of writing is lively and animated. And the story line makes you read on till the end where ( like most good books) you sigh and wished you had one more book by the same author to continue on. After simply ages, I made it to the second hand bookstore and after very minimal rummaging I found this:) Certainly made my weekend. 

Time to go to work...

It's Friday finally. And this weekend will see me hoovering the apartment. ( it's been two weeks) My leaky nose tells me the dust has reached a dangerous level. Am running out of tissues. And I don't much fancy waking up by sneezing 4-5 times continuously. Very tiring. Although, I seriously wonder whether the contraction of muscles during the act of sneezing counts as some form of exercise.  I have lined up for me today.
1. ward rounds
2.getting some forms sorted out
3. a meeting in the afternoon
4.a meeting of aunt after work
5.korean drama marathon until late in the night

Have a good Friday......and I'm hoping mine will be too

The second day of a three week break

It's very nice to wake up early. Nice and quiet and you feel strangely calmer.

Exam fever

This is one of the case reports I'm meant to be marking this weekend

The PPD station in the theory osce year 3 exam last week

We've been busy. This long weekend will be spent resting...and in between spending money, I will attempt to go through the year 5 case reports and logbooks. As well as mark the year 3 osce questions. And to reward self...I think I shall finally busy THAT book I've been looking for in Kinokuniya.
