watermelon vodka

from my sister's book of cocktails and party drinks:
fill a large, sealable glass jar with chunks of watermelon and pour vodka in to cover.

seal and leave the infusion at room temperature in the dark.

taste after 5 days. when it reaches the desired flavour, strain and chill.

but my brother and sister said it sucked, my dad refused to try it, and my mom thinks it's probably poisonous (even though she didn't try it). i think it tastes like vodka leh. so i added sprite and it tasted better but they still didn't want to drink. hmph.

done with opd, for now

at first we were not allowed to wear a mask unless we were sick coz they didn't want to frighten the patients. then suddenly on thursday we had to wear masks. sheesh. if some patient had h1n1 we would all be infected by now already. suddenly make us wear mask. btw, the green side faces out. the folds are supposed to face downwards coz that's the direction we breathe.

anyway my 8 week posting in opd is finally over. everyone gets sick during opd but i thought i could get away healthily until i developed a sorethroat at the end of my 7th week. i seldom get sore throats so i think it's due to talking to the patients all the time. i've probably never talked so much before. haha. but i'm lucky coz there were very few patients during the time i was there due to h1n1. the patients are getting more again but luckily i'm escaping. hehe. and i also only had to tolerate 2 days of wearing mask. wearing a mask is no fun. you have to smell your own bad breath. and once, i burped and it was awful. haha.

i'm doing clinicals next. i start ccu (cardiac care unit) tomorrow and i'm quite unprepared. *fingers crossed*

new stuff

haircut - a bit too short, but i wanted to get rid of my curls which were quite damaged. now i look like a kid. haha.

dye - actually i just wanted a darker colour than last time but it came out looking like my natural colour so i guess i don't have to dye my hair anymore lah

pendant - i thought it was time to stop wearing my birthday key which says '21'. hehe.
