third week in london
sorry it's been a while since i've posted anything up!
highlights:
- kiwi comedy night. absolutely hilarious! and getting drunk with matthew (on hoegaardens and leffe blondes, nothing less!)
- getting drunk with my cousin while eating at this amazing sri lankan restaurant, which is right in the middle of london!
- chianti... yum
- meeting ilia and lola at heathrow on saturday. it was fantastic seeing them again! i wish they stayed for a week or two!
- watching the movie 'world trade center'. i was sceptical at first, was this going to be a 'america prevails despite everything. america rox!' movie? but no, it was actually really moving.
- natural history museum. i can't believe i forgot my camera when i went there! amazing displays of dinosaurs ('lifesize' replicas of diplodocus, t-rex, and my favourite - the breathtaking blue whale!). stunning stuff.
- tate modern gallery. wonderful modern art. i could have spent another 4 hours there. the 'poetry and dreams' section was very moving
- strongbow cider. yum
- metra - this r&b club jason and i discovered which goes off, even on a tuesday night!
- yes. jason c is in london town. so are nilofer and jin teoh. it's coo having kiwis around.
- ministry of sound on friday night. awesome!
- caiprinhas and mojitos
- the lovely feeling of sitting on the bus home after a big night out, and being drunk
- going to wales to visit my uncle and aunt, my two cousins and one of my cousins' nine-month-old son. lots of things learnt about marriage, kids, and especially family.
lowlights:
- you know what.
- feeling like sh*t on sunday. then deciding 'stuff this, i'm going out'. ten steps outside my house, and it starts to f*ckin hail. yes. hail. huge chunks of ice pounding me back inside. spectacular chumpage on a meteorological scale.
- it's been a really tough week
- best friends leaving nz, further compounding the tom hanks effect
- the lowlights outweigh the highlights by far

Oh man...
All the high stuuf, the low stuff, and the multicoloured up-and-down-and-all-over-the-place stuff...
So much stufff....
I am sorry - but.
I am sorry.
I think a few actual lowlights got misplaced into the highlights section, man (eg- representatives of Akld med school class of 2006 taking over poor unfortunate London - what have the poor ppl of england done for u and the Indian-wing-man turn the London club scene into a dirrrrty 'Margaritas' experience ?:-) )
U know he aint gonna call ya the next morning :-)
Anyway.
Random.
Wow.
Dude. Here i am in Seattle - so lonely for company, that i have been haning out with another med student in my team. Who i think prefers the kinks of the road to the the narrow and 'straight' way... radically random.
Wo.
wo (for Hoon)
Wo
Hard to beleieve u ahve been in the drippy-champagne-filled-cider-infused-beer-fermented capital of the world of soccer hooligans city united. Arsenal.
Beer.
Rugby.
Oh. Wait. thats New Zealand.
Sorry.
wo
I mean 'Wo'
I mean-
Wo
Wo. (suck it Hoon)
yeah.
I am sure Seattle is a lot like London - haxs heaps of museums and galleries and pubs and shops and museums and galleries and exhibitions and galleries and museums and 'ferrry boats' for "Greg's anatomy' psycho-fans, and other gorgeous stufffff.
If only i could see it...?
Tell me- why does a modern, self-respecting, american city INSIST at being permanently closed during the hospitals 'non-working' hours? I think it is a world wide conspiracy. of Lawyers. and other ppl. like. wo.
Wo
Dude.
if reaidng this random Sh$t does not make u smile - then i have just wasted 15minutes of my life on the pure and unadulterated (or is it unadultered) bullsh$t. For no good/rhyme/reason...
How sad is my life....
Wo
Keep strong SistaBrava
wo.
legendary post maite! as always! hehe thanks. hehe really made me laugh while listening to african music mp3s in the institute of psychiatry library.
keep it real like seal and i hope you manage to get out in the weekends and see the sights to see and do the things to do. i know it's tough being all alone in a big city, but it's not for much longer, eh? :)
hahah ...ilia, i can't believe we r in the same country...
dude, i get to the hosp on average 7am, leave on average 7pm.
1. I have no energy to do anything other than eat/sleep
2. No place is open
3. I have no car. I can't get any-fucking-where
4. I have no friends
5. Cleveland is a hole.
AFRICAN MUSIC!!?~
