Good Bits
1) I cooked for 15 people in Student Fellowship. Dish prepared was my own special fried rice and by special I mean a recipe conjured out of "not having this and running out of that". I used minced beef, onions, eggs, broccoli and carrots. Result was edible by my standards but praise God, everyone really liked it! Hee hee, most had second helpings and whatever left was "tapow"-ed back home.
2) I bought a really nice, thick trenchcoat for 25 pounds! Can't wait to wear it to Empire theatre for CATS tomorrow! (wait, thats 2 good bits actually)
3) CATS at Empire Theatre tomorrow. It is by the original West End Production Company :)
4) Creme Brulee Latte at Starbucks
5) Ward work starting tomorrow. Yay!
Bad Bits
1) Ding and I cried our eyes out while chopping onions. It was the most depressing culinary preparation Jon and Edward has ever seen.
2) I tried frantically to stop this 3-year-old from eating sand in the nursery at the expense of my hair and clothes but apparently, thats what kids in UK do during playtime. Eat sand?!?! I shouldn't have bother since all I accomplished from it was becoming a laughing joke sprinkled with sand all over.
3) The laughing joke with sand all over also picked up the flu bug from nursery.
4) Tsunami of Lectures at the Royal Children's Hospital. I was swept away with nothing to cling on.
5) Weather woes. Its getting colder duh but it will be 0 degrees tom when I get to the hospital! I didn't think we will hit 0 so fast. Oh dear...

This is a glimpse of my 6 weeks in obs & gynae. Sorry if the pics look blur or misty. They were taken using my K810i but there are a few by good ol' Lumix.
Oh my gosh, if obs and gynae was hardcore, paeds is the hardest core? I was completely fooled by the Mon to Tues schedule, happy at last to get 2 days of a week free but after having one day at Royal Liverpool Children's NHS, I'm utterly convinced that stress is here to stay. This time, all us 3rd years have to adhere to a strict rule. We have got to sign into hospital by 0900 hours and sign out no earlier than 1630/1700 hours. Its not entirely a bad thing with a structured rotation but is it too rigid? Then again, there are the 5th year and Oxford students around competing for attention as well so they probably have no choice but to timetablelize my Mondays to Tuesdays. The amount of lectures are horrendous :( I actually sat through 4 of them today and I've got to sit through 5 tomorrow. AAAAHHHHH!!!
Anyway in regards to my post title, tonight was Bonfire night! I don't know what its significance is but basically its an excuse to do open burning and waste money on fireworks. That was my mindset until I got to Sefton park, a massive, open landscape in the suburbs to witness a 30 minute firework display. It was AWESOME. Loads and loads of people with children and MASSIVE fireworks.(Pics will be up later, need to get them from Alex). That was a nice escape from the brain-frying 8 hours I spent in hospital today. Thank you Lord!

Last night as I lay sleeping
I died or so it seemed
Then I went to heaven
But only in my dream
Up there St Peter met me
Standing at the pearly gates
He said, I must check your record
You know, just in case
I saw that you drank alcohol
And smoked and used drugs too
Fact is you've done everything
A good person should never do
We can't have people like you up here
Your life was full of sin
Then he read the last of my record
Took my hand and said, "Come in"
He led me to the Big Boss and said
Take her in and treat her well
She used to work for the NHS
She has done her time in hell

I can't believe I actually got dragged to my very first halloween party hosted none other by the ever popular Esther Cole ;) Anyway, the first guess I got on my costume was "Is it a fortune-teller thing?" Gee people... I believe the correct term is Gypsy? Yes, I went as a gypsy partly...actually entirely because I didn't have to shell out lots of precious pounds to dress up. It was good fun trying to guess who was behind the masks and not so good fun being scared to death by really, really spooky costumes especially one that looked like a dementor...*shudder*. Anyway, these are selected pictures. I will post the rest on Facebook. Now, why am I not sleeping but blogging when I have CIRCUS(will explain some other time) tomorrow???
I Read These Too
