| overdose from chocs |
Absolutely no studying today. Yup. No studying, absolutely nothing - zilch.
I had a great day relaxing today.
I came home early, walked through the rain.
I slept. Woke up. Watched TV. Went out for dinner with my parents. We went to Dempsey Hill - my idea - to find out what the fuss about that place was all about.
You know the thing about Dempsey Hill? It strikes me as the kind of place Derek Shepard would bring Meredith Grey to on a date. I'm serious - its very very yuppie, very very tranquil and very very McDreamy. Nice place to go dating. *hint hint*
We had Korean BBQ - Kimchi and Pork and Chicken and lots of other strange appetizers that I couldn't really appreciate because of their intense spiciness. And then we had desert at PS Cafe which was highly recommended by Yuenmei and Yisheng. We ate two plates of chocolate-filled desert.
One of them was some double chocolate cake brownie thing while the other was some dish starting with 'P' - which was basically puffs filled with vanilla ice cream covered in chocolate syrup. All in all, both dishes were just sick excuses for dumping copious amounts of chocolate syrup on plates and serving them to people. So so sinful. It made my mom decide to go to the gym tomorrow. *chuckle*
Had a pretty fun time with my parents tonight. I dunno if many people actually have fun with their parents - because I usually don't, but tonight was just strangely perfect.
My dad was in an unusually exploratory mood, so he sorta accepted my suggestions of dining at Dempsey Hill quite readily. My mom just wanted to go out, so there wasn't really much need to psycho her into going. And I was just itching to go out and have a relaxing good time.
So yeah, nice good quality family time. We talked about quite a lot of nonsense - or rather I talked about lots of crap and rubbish and random stuff that made absolutely no sense at all.
We talked about the new house, we talked about my dad's bad habits of shoving food down his throat without appreciating the taste of the food, I ranted a lot about how people don't really listen to their doctors' advice, and my mom embarrassed us all by picking up her plate of desert halfway through the meal, and kept insisting that it was drizzling and that we should move indoors.
I gotta admit - I was high on Chocolate. Its amazing really - its like being high on alcohol but so so so much better, because their isn't the nasty side effects of headaches and giddiness and the whole lot of crazy things people do due to alcohol.
But anyway, it was a great night, until we realized that one of my wayward older cousins was actually in the same cafe as us.
We didn't want to blow our cover by saying 'hi' to her, so the three of us sorta opted to just sit there, at our cosy corner and observe her from a distance, and lo and behold, somewhere along the line we realized that she had walked out to SMOKE.
Needless to say, we were mortified because we didn't know that she had picked up the habit. My dad was PISSED. His face turned from all smiley due to chocolate overdose to pitch black storm cloud I-WILL-RIP-YOUR-GUTS-OUT fierce! Thank god my mom was there to quell his temper. But anyway, we decided to leave my cousin alone and not embarrass her in front of her bunch of friends.
I think the next family gathering's going to be hell. My dad is going to round on her and I pray that she lives to see the next day.
I got home and watched Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice! This week's episodes were quite good.
Erica Hahn, the new head of cardio-thoracics at Seattle Grace is so cool. She's funny in her no nonsense kind of way. I laughed out loud when she asked Derek and Mark if they were a couple. So funny. And when she crashed the Chief's gentlemen's evening - the four attendings had no choice but to play monopoly instead. Hilarious.
I am still hating Izzie and George though. Thank god their attempt to have 'perfect hot sex' failed.
And also, I am finding it hard to not think of Kalpana as Bailey and Serene as Callie. And why would I picture them as these two fabulous characters? Its all because of Teh Kailiang, who came up with the connections. Seriously. Thanks alot Kailiang, you just ruined two of my favourite characters for me! =/
As for Private Practice, I'm kinda irritated at the whole idea of Addison kissing Pete. So cliche. And the way they are hinting that Violet and Paeds guy are sorta getting together... so so cliche. But still Charlotte King's insomnia problem was funny! And Dell's crush on Naomi - seriously getting borderline freaky and stalker like. But the cases in Private Practice seem to have a stronger impact on the viewer - the woman with Huntington's Disease was particularly inspiring.
I know everyone's busy and stressed right now. Well, work hard people! But please take the time off and play hard as well.
Remember, as future doctors, we have to take good care of our health, and remember, mental psychological health is indeed, one aspect of health as well. It is important to ensure holistic development of one's self, so as to ensure that holistic care can be given to our future patients.
So yeah, work hard and play hard. Its the last weekend to the first hurdle of the M2 year, and we are going cross it - together, hand-in-hand, like some scene out of the freakin' musical called Wizard of Oz.
So we'll hold hands, and skip along the Yellow brick road, singing 'We are off, we are off, to see the Wizard of Oz!' TOGETHER. Yup. Lets have a toast to that.
Chocolates make me madder than I already am.Labels: family, fanboy, grey's anatomy, private practice, randomness |
