Journey back to the WEST! =D

First week of school is up again after a looong Easter holiday! 
Bare with this photo-less post...
lazy to upload photo /.\ sorry...

Last weekend was a truly Amazing+Epic experience!

-The Almost Endless Flight Chaos
Yes, as the title says:
It took me almost 24 hours just to get from Singapore back to the UK!
Tsk!
That GodDamn flight delayed and i was sitting in a fully-packed and stuffy air cabin for two hours...
U can't imagine that feeling when i finally (after flight changing+8 hours of aimless 'journey' in Dubai Airport) Got up into the plane back TO UK! its like unbuttoning the Very tight jeans u're wearing= Great Relief!!Phew!
luckily My baggage was safe too! 
God Blessed!!

-Premed Course in London Imperial College
A super cool experience to the prestigious imperial college last saturday morning!
Got on an early bird train to london victoria station first of all
But there's no way to be kiamsiap that day TT
Tubes CLOSED haizzzz
So took a cab to the college (5 pounds x2)
The most strangest thing is when we(honestly we look like a gang of Annoying asians(hahahaha)) walked in to register ourselves and other people were staring at us like animals from the zoo -.- kinda awkward!
The day started out with a few lectures given by a few pro pro angmor doctors( all graduated from Oxford/Cambridge OMG) 
It was eventually an information day 
The only scary part is that the atmosphere is very uneasy and you could feel the competitive in the air , Kinda creepy ehh?
Then there were workshops
which i enjoyed the most!
Managed to learn how suturing works(well, after a few fail pokes on the fake skin haha),  ECGs, Xrays and some other clinical stuffs as well!
It was Great fun Getting your hands dirty! hehe!
The day was called off with a very cruel lecture on the payment of junior doctors nowadays!
The numbers seem small, but it was apparently the moderate class payment in the uk!
Ow Well! :/ 

-Meaningful day spent on mom's bday and also BRIGHTON MARATHON 2012!
Doubtlessly, i was already looking forward to this particular event since february!
It all came into action in 15th april 2012!
The sunny day started off with a really warm welcome by the volunteer committees(hurray!)
ended up late in the assembly point
but managed to grab a gear and an oversized(=.=) t-shirt to start the journey!
My role this year was to volunteer at a water station
After helping out to set up the tables and preparing the water bottles 
Bang! 9am sharp the marathon started with a overwhelming uproar!
It was not until a quarter past nine when we had a First sight of lead runners( which were innnnncreeedddiiibllllyy fasttttt, imagine that u ran 6 miles in 15 minutesO.O) passing through our water station!
Then The big bunch of runners started passing , and we started getting excited!
There were runners in sports suits, tutus (haha) , Animal costumes, fairies dresses and much much more hilarious stuff! that moment of joy cannot be forgotten until now :) it just brings a smile to my face!
Apparently plenty of runners were on behalf of charity units, which was really heartwarming to see!
I didn't get to see the finishing line, but i could feel the uprising atmosphere all over brighton town !
Visitors, supporters, cheering squad... 
Well, Life is joy!
Best day in brighton!

Well thats all the fun things that happened last week! ;)
will try and update this site as frequent as possible!
SO stay tuned! 
And have a good day/good night!
