Updates, updates

It's official. Sick season is fast moving in. Every other person I meet is either sniffling or coughing. I wasn't spared either - was down with the typical non-specific illness symptoms a few days back. Ended up skipping hospital to sleep at home for about half the day. And even when I was awake I had to wear my jacket cuz I was feeling cold. In the end, I decided "screw this" and started to train. Wonder of wonders I felt much better after that.
The next day however, my current registrar and consultant told me I don't look too well. And that I should go home for some rest. They were also afraid they might contract whatever it is I had since at the moment, the Coronary Care Unit is only the consultant, registrar and RMO. Anyway I had to leave for a tute so I left :)

Today we threw a surprise birthday party for Su Chuen, masterminded by Jebbrine and gang. Was told, in no uncertain terms that it was to be "hush-hush". I wasn't overly concerned since I'm pretty sure they could keep her out of the loop.
Apparently they got her into the room, and to keep her in the room, Jebbrine started screaming whenever Chu-Chu went near the doorknob. Eventually she was said to have rolled around on the bed screaming... o_O"

Anyway, the surprise was a success. Christine held her lit cake while waiting for her. When she came out she was shocked :) She gushed "OMG. I never expected this. etcetc". Then she made a wish and blew out the candles....and then the smoke alarm went off! Hilarious and quite potong stim as well. Fortunately they managed to turn it off before the main alarm was triggered, else we would be celebrating with firefighters as well :P
Chu-Chu giving her speech: "I'd like to thank my mother, my father, my pet goldfish..."

*Yes I know that's one of Eve's favourite lines. I'm just waiting for the day someone actually says that for a celebratory occasion*

The cake was so fantastic! Chocolate cake with fudge covering topped with tonnes of chocolate chips! Lovely stuff. Anyways after the pigging out session, we were entertained with the birthday girl strumming some songs on her guitar. After which Kian and Paul took over, Paul seemingly having a preference for Britney Spears songs. That was hilarious too.
Daniel arrived a little later bringing with him funny pics taken when they all went for some cricket session at Glenelg some time back.
The chocolate mud cake topped with chocolate fudge topped with chocolate chips topped with multicoloured candles arranged in the shape of 2 2s by Christine and Shiau Cern.


The girls.


And guys.

I'd put up the group picture of the guys and girls too but these are clearer.

On the way back to the house, I spotted a shooting star. How wonderful it was to catch a glimpse of an event that lasted a fraction of a second. I've been hoping to see one ever since I came here.
