Bowling for Soup

In the practice of medicine, change is inevitable. New surgical techniques are created, procedures are updated, levels of expertise increase. Innovation is everything, nothing remains the same for long. We either adapt to change, or ... we get left behind. - Meredith ranting her heart out in Grey's Anatomy
I am weird. I go shopping although I tell myself time and time again that I am extremely, shamelessly broke. I tend to drag random people out for shopping sprees - thick face? yes! I have these crazy freak show ideas of how to spend time in my head. I plan trips without considering financial prudence...sorry mummy!...and make my minions take leave and then force them to cancel it coz i'm unable to follow through. When I'm not out or online or reading random magazines, I make things to be taken to NZ (nt that I don't alr have loads of stuff to take!!!) or for friends just so... There's a satisfaction that comes with coming up with hand made gifts, it prevents my brains from either exploding as a result of thinkin too much or rotting as a result of not thinking at all. I engage in hour long conversations with people I have no intention of leading on. If you don't already think I'm weird, you're weird!
I visited Seremban, the land of the dead, on Saturday. Except, it wasn't the land of the dead anymore. It was teeming with life. In all forms. Went to this super shopping complex where I made a fantastic sneaker purchase at Converse.
The journey to Seremban
Sunday was bowling for soup day. Well, not exactly. There was no soup involved but definitely lotsa bowling. Destination : Pyramid. Conclusion : there isn't a bowling nerve in this anatomy. I think it's all in the head that I suck. I believe that if I tried to block out all the negative energy, I might actually be a pro at bowling. Unfortunately, the negative energy wasn't merely comin from myself. Thanks to the insistent remarks of surrounding company, I managed to resurrect the humiliation.
Leez bowls while Ben scratches his nether regions
Awww... the bowling lovebirds. Joel's real funny when he bowls, but his eccentricity works to his advantage
Leez and Janice
The attendees, minus me...
And with me.... why's Ben trying to eat my head????
Had a fellowship dinner and karaoke session after the rotaract meeting. I ended up having a much better time than I expected. We played pool. And Foosball. And sang, although we were overpowered most of the time. And ate. And attempted to dance. And just had a great time. Yuvraj joined us and yes, nirm, we took good care of him. I know I've expressed numerous times that I'm gonna miss times like these and the people who brought enjoyment to my life but somehow, I feel like I can never say it enough.
Karaoke!!!! The place looks a lot better without the camera flash....
Food! Leez and Hua picture here...........
Oh, btw, do check out the rotaract blog. Leez pimped the whole thing up and it looks tonnes better. So proud!
Attended the pre departure briefing on Monday. Discovered that I still haven't gotten a lot of things done, like sign up for courses and register pick up and bank account amongst other things. Most of the attendees were JPA scholars and clinical students from IMU so I don't suppose I fitted in much. Sigh. Hints of the culture shock I will be facing there..... Random fact : Bungee jumping was invented in New Zealand.
Mood : Waaay excited about Pangkor trip. Plus Mallacca trip with mummy. And there might be a Bentong trip with Ben n those wanting to go if everything goes well. And My bday!!! And Reshme's party this saturday. More trips please!!!
Change; we don’t like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. And it hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn’t is lying. But heres the truth: the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Oh, sometimes, change is ... everything.
Yep. Change is heading my way so fast, I can feel the momentum.
You know you love me!
