Almost to the end of 2008

Updating my blog from Mannheim (Magi´s home)
Had a Polish Xmas (her family migrated from Poland to Germany 20 years ago)
and some motherly pampering from Magi´s mum (nursing my cough and cold, home cooked meals ^^)
Next stop, Nuremberg to meet Shie´s friend
5th Jan will be study time again

Cant believe after this week, I will turn 24
May next year be good for me in terms of studies (pass all my exams) and HEALTH (omg...i m sick of getting sick...been sick for quite a while (infected a good number of ppl as well) and felt crappy. now i m just starting to spring back to HEALTH again and i want to keep it this way >.<)

There has been a change in my elective arrangement...again
Made Wedad quite upset for ffk-ing her UAE plan (well i think it is the better option for us. i dont wanna even imagine us disagreeing in UAE. She is a good friend but for a month long elective... i dont think i can take it.)
I´ve arranged 2 venues:
Malaysia (with UNICEF)
Singapore
I have yet to receive any formal acceptance from both sides. so i m still keeping my fingers crossed until the day that I am set to hand in that elective forms to my university.

Clinical project is still hanging in the air until I learn how to do an audit.
I wish I was born a genius. gahh..
I need a "Audit for dummies" guide book

What else can I update here?
Hmmm
There´s something (or rather someone) I would like to tell u, my dear friends but the time is not right YET
Be assured, u will know about it from me ok?

Other than that, I miss home a lot
After talking to mum & dad & the aunties, I felt even more homesick
Gahhh!
I felt slightly guilty for not calling home that often for the past few months.
Exams has been rolling all the time and I am constantly kept on my toes.
Next year, my exams will at least come every 6 weeks..I dont want another 2 weeks Oncology stint anymore...exhaustive lah. Didnt even get to layan Yilin that well when she came visiting cos i was busy nerding for Oncology!
Anyways, I promise I will call home more often next year! (ah that´s a resolution!)

I was thinking "maybe next year Xmas holidays, I will go home to see the folks" then reality hits, and I have come to realise that I will be preparing for my Final MB Part 1 around this same time, next year.
Hope it will be smooth then!

I am kinda dreading the Belfast weather at the moment considering Mannheim is not too cold since it is in the lower latitude. And that darn weather made our house in Belfast too cold as well...I think that can also be attributed to inadequate insulation. U can ask Yilin about this. She has been with me for 5 days in Belfast..the week before I left for holidays.
(Oh..congrats to Yilin for doing so well in her 1st term exams in London! Now ur folks can be assured that u r really serious about ur law dream)

Speaking about ppl who came to visit me, I was absolutely thrilled that Lydia came to visit me (with Wei Lynn, of course) in November, 2 weeks before my Psych exams. Old timers catching up! Would haf been perfect with that Nadia bum around though! Although i felt very sorry for all the things they had to endure during the trip like missing flights, taking the ferry, vomiting etc. Aiyoyo! But it was all good craic overall right? (some pics r on facebook!)

Hmmm
I have nothing much to say about 2008..I think it has been a good year for me overall. Not much complaints..would haf ranted it all out already!

I shall welcome 2009 with open arms!
