the only reason why i love medical insurance companies is because of the freebies we get from them! although it is free publicity for them! for this Avant event, we had free lunch and all these free gifts! oh i forgot to put my green stress ball there too! but basically, i received a water bottle (that doesn't leak and taste plasticky), two measuring tapes, two card retractable holder things, 3 pens (these free pens are always very nice to write with! one's in my pencil case), one note pad and a recyclable bag! how awesome is this?

today has been a good day. =) went for bikram yoga in the morning and i thought i was going to die halfway through when i felt like i couldn't breathe because the air was so hot (it was hot yoga!). my head started to spin and i felt nauseous. ouch. squatted down for a while and then it went away. it's supposedly because of all the toxins. *shrugs* it's hard to reconcile what you've learnt in class with all these alternative medicine stuff really.

we might just sign up for the monthly $55 thing because it is originally $156/mth but because we're below 23, it's $55 only! wow. plus if we can sort out with sabin and gang transport issues, it might be even better! =) imagine exercising with your classmates! need to mix around more and not hang out with the asians too much. gets a little political sometimes (as all social groups become after a while).

headed over to chemist warehouse and got myself some more vit c tabs. it was to valley girl (clothes/accessories shop) but the prices were not to my liking. =( decided to head over to salamanca (saturday market) (YAY FINALLY!). we were looking for the tea thing that chr1stina was talking about but we couldn't find it. boo. the bratwurst stalls along the way were sooo tempting because we were so hungry! i had to be pulled away from the tempura mushroom stall! nooo.. hahaha!

walked back for steamboat lunch at 2! as we were crossing the road, i saw an asian third yr med guy (who's your boy-next-door type!) crossing in the opposite direction. i think he might have recognised me or something cos we both turned and looked at each other after we crossed. it was quite funny. cos chr1stina was like 'hmm i think he finds you familiar too!' lol! yeah saw him once at the mac lab in medsci while waiting for dissection or something. james was sitting between us so we sort of had a three-way conversation. never quite figured out his name though. i THINK its dominic. not sureeee..

anyway, steamboat lunch was alright. brought my tomyum paste down so it was more shiok. hehehe! ate quite a bit. finally asian-y food! almost true-blue! cuttlefish balls, seafood tofu, tau kee, golden mushroom, chicken, crab stick, prawn, cabbage, button mushroom etc!

now im so full. lol. i think im going to sleep first. wake up in a bit to study! hahahaha!

michelle is finally a relatively happy girl.
