ive had a good relaxing easter break.. indulging, relaxing, calming and almost carefree.. i went to dunedin last weekend to see my two best friends. after stressful weeks doing my MSK and now, neuro attachments, ive had just about enough of studying and decided to run away to dunedin for a few days. it felt really comforting to leave behind my case notes, my trusty steths and other equipments and packed my bag and left. and it felt really nice to be around people that i am really close to and so comfortable with. thank you mizah and sharon for having me around! =)



i havent been to dunedin in more than a year and yet, so many transformations seem to have occurred in that quaint student city in that while.. i marvelled at the new glassy modern building, the wall-street mall and the new shops mushrooming George st. it has only been a year and a bit that i left isnt it? and i was pleasantly surprised of the many halal options available in the city. It is good.. really good.

but you know what hasnt changed? Medical school!! one day, i was strolling along the area with Sharon, drinking in the aching familiarity of the surroundings; the big brick-red building which house most of our tutorial rooms, the enormous LF building which has this huge anatomy lab and amazing specimens, the white building with this cool snake emblem.. nostalgia washed over me as i was walking down the memory lane..


(we had our class photo taken here - back in 2007)

one of the things that i did over the weekend was visiting Otago Museum. i had always wanted to visit this big building - but somehow, i never did. and i say, the place was really worth a visit! an immensely educational trip on the different cultures that shape New Zealand..




i didnt do much sight-seeing.. even though, there was initial plan to visit the gardens but somehow, we never did. ;) after not seeing each other for months (except sporadic meet-ups during summer back in brunei) - we had a lot of catching up to do, which of course means late nights-in with lots of childish gigglings and pillowtalks. Sigh. it is really good to be back in dunedin. it is really good to be with your best friends whom you can just talk to for hours and hours. i miss you two already!!!





there was this one night that the three of us went to vivace. i had a lot of fun then. i think the three of us did. you know what could top that moment? if all of us were there.. i remember diyana, we used to go to vivace a lot during our third year, karaoke-ing our stresses away. we had a few of those awesome vivace moments in the past, with all seven of us present.. those were good times.. just maybe, unreplicated..



and this, was my awesome teriyaki fish bento meal just before i left for christchurch.. nyamannnn!!!!



actually, i nearly barfed the meal out in the 6 hours long journey back to christchurch. sigh. i think, too much PDAs are just irritating!! the couples who sat next to me AND in front of me just happened to be permanently joined at the lips (and presumably, various other organs..) throughout the long ride. aihs. 6 hours only cannot tahan already leh? @.@

Anyway,

i caught up with saidah and maxxxxxx the night i arrived in christchurch. siukkkk updating!!! ehe. :p girl, you know the stories .. and i am laying low for now. ;) and i am so proud of you and your superb research!!! well done!! update2 lagi nanti yea!!! =)
