Autumn in my heart; now summer’s gone and it’s a year that passed me by
Harrods:
Been working here at for quite some time. Tired…but rich.Hehehe. My last at day at work was of a mixed feeling - happy that I finally finished doing ‘low’ jobs; sad that I’m going to such a wonderful work environment, since everyone there including the my bosses, are reeeeaaally nice! I thoroughly sincerely enjoyed myself working there, and I might consider working there in summer (if don’t have any plans yet). They are soooooooooo sweet, getting me a BIG farewell card on my last day.
I was already offered to work there as sales assistant twice but I had to reject both. First one, because it’s a full time job, and that’s definitely impossible for as a student. Second one, although a part time offer,demand 20 hours a week which are spread to 5 hours a day,including weekdays,will not fit my time table. It’s still possible if I want it badly, but not worth it considering the travelling time from Whitechapel to Knightsbridge. Two good offers, end up being rejected. I must place my priorities right. My studies come first; and not that I’m desperate for money (although extra money can be used to do more shopping!HAHAHHAHA).
A quick fact: Harrods is 7 floors up….and 7 floors below ground; a dog couple got married in Harrods..their owners paid 1 million pounds for the wedding ‘gowns’, which were encrusted with diamonds! Wah, this people had so much money!
Cardiff:
Cardiff was lovely!!!!!!!!
Trauma conference:
It’s an excellent conference that I attended. Made me have that ‘ER’ feeling when attending the conference, especially during the practicals sessions with firemen- saving road traffic accidents vicitm demo(which I myself did too), suturing, cricothyroidtomy and chess decompression (not sure of the correct terms). Then the lectures were really cool too.
They had sparked my interest in specialising in trauma medicine, esp max fax. Just amazes me how max fax (and plastic surgeons) can reconstruct and restore body parts that are almost mutilated by all sorts of accidents. But I am aware of the intense pressure that one has to face during such times of emergency. I guess I have quite a good tolerance level to that. But once beyond that,I’ll just switch - feeling helpless and and really at lost of what to do next. Furthermore, it will be a huge mess when I first see the victim, and I’m suppose to be one to be in-charged of handling the situation.
Bloody gory but interesting.
p/s there was lucky draw for this conference.and guess what!? I won tickets for two to the London Eye!
Les Miserables:
It was an extremely lucky offer that I got when I purchased the tickets to watch Victor Hugo’s play "les Miserables". That time it was on offer by London Underround (company which handles London public transport system) - 2 tickets for the price of 1. So, Pei Chia and I bought the most expensive seat (!) and each of us only need to pay 25pounds (the original price was 50pounds each!)! And I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally loved the show! Was ToooTAlly blown away! It’s like….woah!!! It’s worth it! Even if I were to pay for the full price, I would still be very satisfied with the outstanding performance quality shown. I don’t mind watching it again!
The Godfather
I have been reading quite a number of books and right now, I’m indulging my with Mario Puzo’ s "The Godfather". Basically it’s a story about the mafia group of Don Corleone. I learnt modus operandi of the mafia group in great details through this book. And I really admire Don Corleone because he’s damn powerful - influential,prudent,rich and respectful.Hm…if only I’m soooo like him.
