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: PART I #01...

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 "exit" 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 rather...

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! Hey! . . . let's do it...

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...

I wonder why I bleeding bother. Anyways, Chapter One - A Tale of Two Rachels "There I go, leading with my heart again, And there I go, acting not so smart again..." Something scary happened just the other day. It 'twas 'round midnight as that jazz tune goes, all quiet on the western front, when without a word of warning (allusion to Bing) my mobile rang. In my cosy bed-for-one I flailed about; expecting it to be...

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 "McMinn's Human Anatomy - 5th ed." for my anatomy professors (this being forced on this unhappy med student by methods of cadaveric examination). All this dry talk about dissections (related to...

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. "...when autumn leaves start to fall..." "a bridge...

Here's an artsified close-up of the thing breathing life from the living room's wall.

My bag was left on the train, Never to be seen again. "...'tis the fool who always rushes, Take some time and save those blushes." 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? With...

Oh, A Feast For One! Close-up... Mmmmm... what a delicious aroma! Well done STRIPLOIN steak with red wine and herbed butter! Jacket potato, too! All in all a yummy steak... Down the hatch of chef le cordon bleu Nicholas it'll go. Cheers to all back home! http://nikbinolas.blogdrive.com/comments?id=153
