Went out with gau, jamie and carrot yesterday and had great fun making cookies and curry. Thanks to jamie for making cookies shaped "fang" for me, gau for the curry and carrot for chopping the chocolates for the cookies!! making cookies is really quite fun. had to whip the cream using a manual whipper.haha so funny! the curry was really unique: had tomatoes, cheese and yoghurt in it only. but it tasted really good and spicy with pita bread. had a really sumptuous dinner followed by dvd movies from blockbuster. jamie makes really nice cookies. they smell and almost taste like famous amos cookies. sweet. "Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle" was really good too. Following, we watched "Memento". Wah, that really turned my brain upside down trying to figure out the plot....especially when u watch it early in the morning. one whole day passed really quickly just like that. received many bdae wishes and cards from everybody. had a great 21st!!! looking forward to going back to Singapore now....can't wait...
yufeng-out.

oK guys and girls, i am now wide and awake. yesterday (Sat) started like any other outings we had: getting the cars, waiting for the girls, driving off to McLaren Vale to sample and purchase some wine after which we were off to Victor Harbour for some whales and penguins watching. I shall skip the former and fast forward to what happened at Victor Harbour---particularly Granite Island... Here goes...As the sun was setting(the scenery was really nice), we decided to make our way down from the top and when we were at the bridge, i suddenly found my beloved Minolta DimageX31 MISSING!!!(after the short run down the bridge with Carrot) anyway, i was like totally freaked out man!! how could the camera have dropped out just like that...(f*^&*^&%^$%#)pardon the profanities. anyway, my kind hostel mate Moses and Keith offered to join me in this covet night search for my dimage. all in all(If i didn't count wrongly...), I think we walked to the visitor centre thrice, walked up and down the bridge thrice and walked up and down the trail of Granite Island twice. sweet. now i knoe the layout of the island at my fingertips. + our legs had a good workout from all that working. and the interesting thing is nokia and samsung handphones have really good lighting. we actually found a nokia handphone on ur first time up the trail using the handphone lights. (haha, i'm not the only careless one around.) then the freaking security guard had to bring people around to check out the penguins when it was all pitch dark(goodness, pls don't disturb the poor penguins. but i still managed to catch a glimpse of a few btw.haha!) ok, so the guy had the trump card-power torchlight, so we had no choice and decided to search around the bridge but to no avail...after all the waiting, finally he was done and up we went again on the trail searching north, south, east and west of the alleged drop zone. Still couldn't find the cam, so decided that was it man... left my particulars and description of the digital camera in case some kind soul found and returned the camera. Now comes the interesting part....
I was walking along the bridge back to mainland to meet the rest. (Wah, felt really bad at that time cos i think they were just waiting for us to finish the search and had not eaten dinner yet....) so, walk and walk...suddenly "POOF" out of no where i saw the all familiar grey strap lying on the bridge. WAH! i calmly picked it up and there it was---Dimage X31---property of SOH YUFENG!!! Wat a stroke of luck...anyway, so everything turned out well in the end after the long intensive search---worked the legs quite a bit. Rest were at Crown Hotel so adjourned to meet them there...sat down and the girls came up with five hypotheses(think PBL ah?) to explain the loss of the camera. had large beer battered fish and chips---tasted alright since victor harbour is known for their fish and chips. I was sitting at my place happily snapping some pics and wo...the chocolate ice cream cake topped with strawberries+fizzling fireworks+candles+birthday song went bam bam bam. really loss for words for a while.
now i finally realised that they were celebrating my 21ST bdae!!!gosh! proceeded with gift presentation---fcuk collared black polo shirt...hmm tat explains why the girls asked me to go shopping with them. really like the shirt-thanks everybody!! :) then....had to skull some drink---sorry but i can't remember the name. it was a mix of pineapple and alcohol i think. then came another one. k did the first in 1 min but took my time for the second...well, as long everybody's happy!!! the aussies in the restaurant came along to join in the fun-chatted about singapore, night safari, breakfast at the zoo, sentosa, orchard. haha i'm gonna be back in 1 week's time!!! can't wait. received lots of bdae wishes and hugs today!!!wat a 21st. i think i was a bit high after the two drinks...they started asking me all sorts of questions...gau and debby...stop grilling me k? we'll let nature take its course. ;)
had a really fun day out today. loved the cake, the pressie, the trip everything! still don't knoe if the camera loss was part of the bdae plan but oh well... haha happy 21ST to my self!!!!!!
fang-out.

I'm finally back at blogging after what seems like eons since my last blog entry. Either i haven't been in the mood to blog or there just wasn't time to do so...exams are going to be over pretty soon and its back to home sweet home. haha. can't wait for the day to come-1 july.recently, i was having dinner with a few of my hostel mates and they asked me:"So why did u choose to study medicine?" Those of u doing medicine out there or have gone for any medicine interview before would most probably have a really wonderful planned out answer for that question...(well at least i did.) but after around 3 months in medical school, my perspectives of that question seem to have changed slightly. Well, at least now i feel like i'm studying for a higher purpose apart from just feeding the brain with medical jargons and knowledge. Somehow, i feel like i'm studying all for the well being of my future patients... ok ok this sounds really weird and mushy... but thats wat i'm feeling at the moment at least.
ok, back to the pertinent issue at the moment: going back to singapore!!! some of the aussie people are back already---the melbournies and soon the perthies... nvm i'll just have to endure that thought for 1 more week. seems like a lot of my frens around are flying off to all corners of earth-just to mention a few: keith to usa(which i just found out), jon( to stanford), zhixuan to uk, junhui to michigan....koaz..everybody's leaving singapore!!! then there won't be any more local talents left...well, its the government's loss anyway.
a lot of people have been celebrating 21st in singapore but i haven't really been able to be there to send my best wishes... so here's a consolidated "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" to all my frens who have had birthdays esp those who just had their 21st.hope u had fun.
i'm starting to miss tennis sessions with the two bitches and ktv sessions but guess thats the sacrifice i had to make by deciding to come to adelaide.
its been around 3 months + since i arrived in adelaide, time really flies and i guess this is gonna be the same for the next 6 years of my medical school life!!!wow...wat a thought.
i apologise for any philosophical preachings which i have included in this blog entry cos i'm feeling philosophical at the moment...just looking forward to exams ending and flying back home next week.
right.
YF---OUT.
