Guang #31 - Lamb Liver Stew :)


I made a stew from some lamb liver and I thought it was awesome.
I had it with spaghetti for lunch ...


Yummy! And then ...


And for dinner, with rice!! :)
Good times to remember. And I wasn't done with the stew yet (to be continued ..)

Guang #30 - A Sunday Well Spent?


I spent today trying to study. Not sure how much I got into my head, but I tried.

Oh, just so that I remember. The sermon in church today was awesome! David and Goliath :) Didn't know there was so much to the story.

Mel #30 - Zhap Fan??

Had this in Sungai Buloh with my dad's side of the family for reunion. Super odd and tasted bleh.
Nevertheless interesting experience :)

Guang #29 - True or False?


Princes Street in Edinburgh at about 9am. It's pretty empty and the shops haven't opened.

So what is Guang doing in the middle of nowhere so early in the morning?
Well, I went for a talk in church called True or False.


It's basically 3 experts trying to convince you, based on the evidence we have that the Bible is real.
I'm not going to share what I thought about the talk here, but it was worth spending almost a whole day there.
I met Clarence, Rashelle and Sarah!
I know that was a lousy photo, but I didn't want to make it seem obvious that I was snapping away.


I took this photo for one very funny reason ...
For if you scanned it closely enough ...


Mel, I never knew you had a missionary relative serving in the Seychelles since you were 1 year old.
I'm just kidding.
I just thought it'd be funny because you're the only person I know with the last name Hsu.
:)

Mel #29 - Reunion~

 Taken with cousin during reunion dinner! :)

Someone hit me during futsal :/

Guang #28 - Bro Code



The little funny things in life ...
I didn't take a photograph today because I was busy with lectures and nothing really interested me enough to have its photograph taken, but I read all the articles in this book on some website, so I hope that counts.
Said I was going to get this book for Melissa. Any thoughts?

Mel #28 - Pump Petrol?!

pumping petrol with my best friend :p

This is tomorrow's time table.

Guang #26 - Cool Cuts


Went for a live dissection session by the Anatomy Society.
Was quite disappointed that it was only a dissection of the cow's heart.
And I wouldn't be able to get a good picture anyway, because no pictures are supposed to be taken in here, unless with permission, of course.

Guang #24 - What a difference a days makes ...


In the spirit of camwhoring and losing almost about 5 months' worth of hair, here's a picture of what I kind of look like now.


Birds taking a wee bath on the puddle on the roof of one of the many MANY buildings of the Western General Hospital. View from the Student Lounge in the Medical Education Centre is really beautiful :)

Guang #23 - Meadows Medley?


Caught sight of this when walking home through the meadows.
Funny how I don't see enough of this.

Mel #23 - Of Dogs and Carrots?


A picture of Angel (named after Stitch & Angel) yawning when I was trying to take a photo of her.
The reason why she's in the Elizabeth's Collar is because she got hit by a cab last week and injured her hind leg.
Its to prevent her from trying to bite the stitches off :/

And a bonus picture of a super cute carrot pencil case and I.
Given by a close friend :) super cute! use it to put my phone & ipod touch :)

Mel #22 - Toe :/

Guang #22 - Bye bye Khai Ken


Khai Ken is leaving.
This was from the pizza party last night.

Guang #21 - Out With The Old, In With The New


My old and new shoes that look super alike.
They're actually the same model and the same price and from the same shop in London.
I know ~_~" ... This is what you get from someone who doesn't shop much. I find something that works and stick with it.
I'm changing shoes because the threads on my old pair are totally gone. Makes it hard to run efficiently.
On another note, I'm in love with Nike Dart VII (that's the shoe model). It's comfy and it lasted me a year of cobblestone-filled Edinburgh walking.

P.S. It's my dad's birthday! So happy birthday, papa!

Mel#21 - Futsal!


And so i played futsal for the very first time today :)
My seniors organised a futsal outing for fun. 15 of us which formed 3 teams, of which we will switch after the winning team has scored 3 goals..
and with me being in an IT course, all of the others were guys except for me and Lemon D:
but thankfully they weren't rough. at least when I was playing.
Awesome experience. 
+ this sem we're going to having biweekly exercises with wednesdays scheduled for Badminton,
and Fridays for Futsal/Basketball~
hooray to a fitter Mel!

Guang #19 - Lazy :S


This is how lazy I've become.
By the way, happy birthday, uncle!

P.S. Yes, that is a 2010 calendar on the top left corner of the picture. There's another one right above it but not in the picture, but still in its plastic wrapping.

Mel #19 - Daddy's Birthday!



It's my dad's birthday tomorrow! But we decided to celebrate a day early @ a Mexican restaurant in Pavi because we will have reunion dinner with the relatives tomorrow night at Flower Drum KL :)

Yummy chocolate cake is from Delectables, Pavilion~

Guang #18 - Murderers and Sustainers ...


The very thing that's killing with probably the very thing that will keep me alive.
Guess which is which :P
Woke up late for lectures today.
Prelude to a bad day ...

* * *

A little stuff I want to add on the topic. You know how people always look up to doctors and think of them as heroes and all. The truth is that we're merely trying to prolong life. Death always wins in the end and when it's time to go, there's nothing much we can do. Now, it's not wrong to cry and all, but I'd think blaming the doctor for not doing anything, unless truly deliberate, is totally taking it too far. I don't know what sort of sticky situations I'll get myself into in the future when I start working, but that's what this rant is about. Trust me, I'd do anything in my power to save someone from dying, but the world is just overpopulated. (I'm joking, seriously!) I guess all these medical dramas are educational after all. Thumbs up for Scrubs! :)

Mel #18 - Sunway Pyramid


Does anyone get their name on the machine when they go out? hehehe!!

Mel #17 - Tekken 6!!

When I was back in Korea, I used to play Tekken a fair bit :)
And No i'm not god or anything. I'm just.. a girl playing Tekken :p

Incase you were wondering, the photos were taken in Tropicana City Mall. 
The only place besides Midvalley (inside laser tag) that has Tekken. 
Anyone else knows where else we can play Tekken? Let me know!


A photo to describe how happy I am!!
 


:)

Oh does anyone also know where Initial D 4 is available? I always see 3 and 5 :/

I pulled out Daniel (my iPod touch) for that offer.. hehe!

Met up with Kevin and Howe Ee for dinner-supper after that.

A bonus photo? :) Me walking around with the Baskin Robbins Balloon ! hehehe

Guang #11 - Beef Stew


Beef stew with bread.
This is the third time I've made this.
First time was good, second time total failure. Third time ... AWESOME!
A reminder to myself to face my fears because if I try hard enough, I will succeed.
