i blog now @ www.kim-.tumblr.com

I’m taking a break from this blog for an indefinite amount of time while I channel my verbal and visual diarrhoea else where.
Tell then!

Wow. The most exciting F1 race EVER.

My computer’s crashed so don’t expect any updates for a while!

The tomorrow that will come.

I have had endless debates in my head whether surgery was for me or not. I know it’s still early and I’m not to graduate till 2011 and that deciding which speciality I want a career in is not just dependent on my interest but also the availability of training jobs and opportunities. But it was the decision whether I wanted to go down the medical route or the surgical route that was doing my head in. I can’t help being such a ‘planner’,  I just feel as though I need to prepare myself and find out more about the relevant specialities and gear myself up for whatever obstacles that may come if I decide that yes I want to be a surgeon.

But today, I aimed to be a good president to the badminton club and I hope I have achieved that. For various occasions today I had to be firm with my decision but very fair and I think I achieved that! It was scary being in charge and afraid that people would take offence but I had the authority and I decided that I should use it – for the benefit of the team. I just really want the team to share the same vision as I do and that they understand the meaning behind my actions. It was satisfying that for the first time since I played badminton at this university we’ve finally had a proper training session today with footwork and drills. It took a lot of effort on my part to try plan a programme that would be sufficient yet not boring. An hour of drills really isn’t a lot, and when people complain about boredom and tiredness it frustrates me because when we were kids back home we trained a million times harder than that and we never complained! I suppose trying to teach univerisity ‘kids’ the proper way to train isn’t as easy as it seems. Especially when people don’t see you as a proper coach. But you know, I try my best. I don’t HAVE to do this, but I do this anyway in hope that people will benefit and that would help improve the club’s standard.

PMS?

It’s amazing. I play better singles when I don’t train. It’s disappointing when two weeks in a row you skip classes, play hard and play well and win your matches but the team doesn’t win!!! :( And I even have a friction burn on my wrist from diving for a shot. And we don’t even get burgers after home matches now! We used to get sponsored by Bar One and have nice juicy burgers awaiting us after our home match but now we have plain old jacket potato. Hokay I’m being fussy. :) I should be thankful I didn’t have to make dinner.

I spent 2 hours studying in the library after Bar One (I love studying, I am such a nerd) and then went for a meeting that was meant to be very exciting but people pissed me off because we were suppose to come up with constructive ideas on fundraising but they were talking about getting people to wrestle chimps. ?????!!!!??? I was giving ideas like bakesale and what not but when I said, why don’t we sell shot glasses – they shot my idea down in like.. 0.000000000000000001 second saying “No one would buy a shot glass without a shot” Erm. Okay, but like, you mean, honestly, you want to get people to wrestle a CHIMPANZEEE????? OMG. Some people. I gave up talking to them after that and went to give ideas on Publicity.

Sorry I’m being very angsty and bitchy (looks at previous entry) but I think my period is coming so I have the right to be PMS-ey. yay.

Anyway while D is out in Bath on his initiation – and probably getting drunk, I am enjoying a glass of rosé in my quiet room. I decided against going out tonight with the badminton gang to Corp because I am recovering from that Influenza virus I caught I probably should rest (yes, yesterday I self-diagnosed after reading a whole chapter on Respiratory disease at Jess’s house – although flu isn’t exactly the hardest diagnosis. But anyway speaking of Jess’s house – her house is a FREEZER. I had to wrap myself in 2 blankets; believe it or not, since they have moved in in July they haven’t had their heating on. That is MADNESS. My heater is turned on every day :) Okay okay I feel guilty about my carbon footprint, but.. BUT! I like feeling warm :) and I get cold fingers and feet really easily!)

Oh D just called! He isn’t getting drunk after all haha. Being a good boy and got back home early!
