oh how i love...

1) The Dark Knight

i declare it the best movie of the year (last year was transformers, haha..). i'm surprised myself. both are such "guy" movies. but i must say.. this movie kept my eyes glued to the screen from the very beginning to the end. i even stayed to watch the credits, hoping there would be some "surprise" twist at the end. although i knew there would be none la. hahaha.. it was sooooo good that i feel like watching it again!! both chris & i were like, whoa. it was so good! we have to watch it again! and kudos to our new favourite cinema Palace Nova East End Cinema on Rundle St which happens to be the awesomest i-will-never-go-anywhere-else-to-watch-movies-because-i-have-forever-pledged-my-allegiance-to-it theatre experience!!!

i think christian bale is hot la. so so hot. rich too. hahahaha.. the best batman so far :) but i can't believe he smashed his lamborghini -_-" (it was like a knife piercing through our hearts when we watched it)

also, heath ledger is so psychotic! he really played the role well.. but at the bck of my head, i just can't help but think his role in this movie had something to do with his death. i mean, to be a good actor is one thing, but.. to be it.. is another. but he really does deserve an oscar! "why so serious..?"

michael caine was the perfect alfred, and this time around he had more character to his role. full of wisdom :) wouldn't mind having a butler like him any day..

Maggie Gyllenhaal... 'nuff said.

2) Dr T Kimber

haha this is super random. but getting him for common programme for the past 2 weeks just showed that common programme still has a "chance". i don't usually like neurology very much, but when he lectures, hmm.. i actually pay attention! (no not because he's good looking or hot okay) he just lectures very well :)

come to think of it. my recent lecture experiences has been pretty good. i don't sleep so much anymore :)

Easy Peasy Smarties® Cookies

I guess it's about time I did something about my abandoned blog.. What better way than to post a RECIPE?? :) :) :)

So I've been on Child & Youth Health (CYH) for the past 2 weeks, this being my last week. Although it's supposed to be a "slack" rotation (says who? boo..), it ended up with a lot of travelling, and waiting around. One day, I'll be north. The other day south. In between, central (+ lots of waiting, I repeat). I guess it's understandable especially for youths (whose issues are mainly sex, drugs & alcohol) that they wouldn't want us medical students to sit in. I guess I wouldn't too if I was in their shoes. But the doctors could have let us go off early huh? So as a result from all my waiting, I saw this recipe in one of the magazines.... All's not lost I guess :) Here you go...

Preheat oven to 180 deg C.
Ingredients (modified):

A

125g butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
beat until light & fluffy

B
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla essence
add into A, mix well

C
1.25 cups plain flour
0.25 cups self raising flour
1/2 tsp bicarb of soda
sift and fold into the above mixture

place a spoonfuls of batter on to baking paper. flatten slightly with floured fingertips. place random coloured smarties on to cookie dough. bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Summer Movies!!!!

Geez.. so many movies to watch. so little money so little time. not to mention, i've been DEPRIVED of movies since coming back to Adelaide!

I've been wanting to watch Narnia since FOREVER! I love CS Lewis! Now it's not even showing in the cinemas anymore :( *sigh*

KungFu Panda! from the moment i watched the trailer, i knew i would like it... unfortunately, no i have not. *double sigh*

ok, my last hope! Any musical-cum-movie type thingy should be good.. i bet it's gonna be good. next week with the girls perhaps? :) *fingers crossed*


Done with Paeds ED :) woohoO! and on my last day, i actually felt like i was gonna miss that place. i saw a resus case, it really made me feel like.. wow. yeah, that's what being a doctor is all about. the relief on the parents face when the team of doctors brought their child out from a status epilepticus - so surely, and so in control.
