My Mild Med Mix MMVI, 10mls bid



After my meal, you'll find the postively prettty pics I wanted to post yesterday.




Play with My Pretty Pictures




Here's what I had for dinner part II (aka supper part I) today. I know it looks like some faecal product, but the 

photograph does this excellent steak no justice at all. Juicy, tender and well-done in a George Foreman Lean Mean 

Grilling Machine, it is covered in a special red wine sauce. 



small saucy sirloin steak




The following is what I did for that horrid looking tasty thing:

Mild Med Mix, 10mls bid



Could very well be instructions from a med nerd if reworded, mild med mix, 10 pages, bis in die (=twice 

daily). Or from a lady trying for a baby: mild wet mix, ~5mls, bid.




Mad Med Life



I can assure you that that poor pun of a title says nothing about my mad med life as a medical student in UCD, 

Ireland. I have my winter &quot;exit&quot; exams in a week's time and I still haven't touched my near-mint condition books. 

Of course the A-Levels Bio course (any more courses in this sentence and I'm out!) wasn't as difficult as I was

Let's Do It Again

Perry Como, 1975

(Tony Hatch &amp; Jackie Trent)



Hey! . . . let's do it again an' again!

If you will count up to ten,

that'll give me a chance to get my breath back

then . . . we'll do it again an' again!

 

Don't stop until I say when

'cause your kisses are sweet

an' I don't want the feelin' to end!

 

We glide on a magic carpet ride 

all around us stars collide 

and there's poetry inside my head 

it seems I can hear some haunting theme 

yet there's something in your scheme

that's too real to be a dream instead!

The amount of lies I am stumbling upon are building up to a crescendo that threatens to drown out the once overpowering sense of love. Why I never bothered to take a peek at things that I had at my fingertips is a wonder. Perhaps the cordial sense of trust built up by proximity was an awesome blinding power. Now, a simple snap of the fingers could dislocate the fragile bond she holds with me. So what? I don't care, anymore.



But right now I have too many things to do. The thought of being swamped by exams is not as suffocating when you know nothing of your syllabus or if you know your... (more)</content></entry><entry>

<content type="text/html" xml:base="http://nikbinolas.blogdrive.com/">Today, I received in the evening mail (okay, okay, we only have the evening mail on campus as the uni office sorts it out after &quot;an post&quot; does) my first package from home! Before this I've had correspondence from Irish banks, reward card points, et cetera et cetera, not to mention one from elseiver science which publishes Gray's Anatomy. You see, I am currently reviewing their other publication &quot;McMinn's Human Anatomy - 5th ed.&quot; for my anatomy professors (this being forced on this unhappy med student by methods of cadaveric examination).

&quot;Park Views&quot;



On the way to Dunnes Stores from classes at Earlsfort Terrace. Shortcut between these two points is the picturesque St. Stephen's Green (Park) where these shots were taken. Of housewifey interest, I bought 4 legs of chicken and a 500g packet of vege. Of motherly interest, it was raining rather heavily when these shots were taken. But don't worry, heavy rain in Dublin is of a different definition when compared with Malaysian heavy rain. 'twas more like blowing sheets of medium-to-fine drops of water.

As I whacked the window hard.
My bag was left on the train,

Never to be seen again.
&quot;...'tis the fool who always rushes,

Take some time and save those blushes.&quot;
Now I've time for finer things,

Like all the pleasure Alpen brings.
No more flustering mistakes,

Just golden, crispy, wheaty flakes...
...and oats that give me a great start,

They help promote a healthy heart.
Delicious raisins so sublime,

Sweet and juicy every time.
And all those yummy roasted nuts,

Are good for me, no ifs or buts.
So how could anyone be hasty?
