Thai Centric

So as I'm slowly submerging in an abyss of 8-pound textbooks, stacks of free stationery collected from medical conferences and too many dried-up coffee-stained mugs, we went to have Thai today. It was surprisingly good and a cute little place with great ambience. The swiftness in which the food arrived was a bonus and very very VERY welcomed (seeing as I snoozed passed the alarm this morning and came late to path lab - i.e. NO BREAKFAST).

I subsequently spent that lab wacking friends in the arms and elbows (intead of doing histology) trying to gauge a reflex response past the mass of muscles. It doesn't help when your friends are body builders and you can hardly stick a laptop charger into the power socket contra-gravity (I know, the level of fitness is highly questionable).

I've begun to re-indulge in period dramas- BBC style. It's my signpost that end-of-year exams are fast approaching and I'm really walking around with a ticking clock in the head. My thoughts wander and meander through the archives of my life. I found this guy.



Apologies that it is blurry - I was young, naive, and apparently deficient in camera skills.

Yet, it is this sameness that my life is contrasted with those of my dear friends who are approaching many milestones in their life. I begin to wonder -
This blog was meant to be general and obscure. Maybe I just can't do general and obscure. Another time perhaps.
