Call me Sue.
Just don't call me lil fry.

A 19 yr old :

Finding her niche in the passionate world of white coats and stethoscopes.

Missing Malaysian food so badly, that she drowns her sorrow by surfing food blogs.

Who watches scary movies only with friends who have high pain threshold (from all that pinching)

Who has very cold extremities, ask my stimulated patients, oops sorry, "simulated patients"

Who loves a good laugh with candid, thick-skinned friends

Who cannot stay surrounded by 4 walls for more than a few hours

Who loves her loved ones so so much

and when she speaks

Friday, June 26, 2009

Carlos and I were partnered for our BLS testing with Karen.
Carlos is from Paraguay- and he laughed when I used 'Muchos gracias' to Karen.

And he told me, Spanish is his main language as well - I revealed my ex-landlord was a Spanish language teacher ;P

After we finished our test, Karen exclaimed to me 'OOh you're so cute' and she came over and gave me a tight squishy hug :) *hahahaha which was totally unexpected*

Carlos asked me later on; 'How long have you known her?'
"As long as you have" lol...
He was flabbergasted I supposed- and he said 'You seem so friendly.....' *laughs*

I've made some good friends- from all over. Slovakia. Paraguay. Brazil. and Philippines ;)

Yesterday:-
Burger at world-famous BillyGoat's Tavern.
Amazing Fireworks at Navy Pier to mark summer!! :)
It was the best fireworks show I've ever seen. A live experience; so close by to see and feel the thrill and the electricity!

After one night of not sleeping and burning the midnight oil to study, I scored 100% :) Well, I only had the study materials the day before - because I arrived much later ... so I was happy :)

Met up with Luke and Paulina- headed over to :-

Lie down on the green green grass at Millenium Park.
Under the scorching sun and clear blue sky.
Paulina pulled her shirt up to sun-tan. And there I was, being the total opposite trying to shade myself :)
Had an enormous ice-cream cone (cookies and cream :) ) and enjoyed myself immensely.
Just lying down - actually, Luke provided great shade *muahaha*- and resting my exhausted brain.

We lied there for hours. Whilst our neighbouring grass-enjoyers were playing frisbee, football, playing music on their small radio, reading books, just enjoying the atmosphere :)
It was beautiful :)

Aaron (IMU senior; acquainted thanks to Vic :)) took me out to dinner at Cheesecake factory downtown.

He kept on insisting I can afford an expensive apartment - I quote him
"You have no commitments.no kids. what else is there to spend on?"
I make only about $2600 a month, rent here is exorbitant! ranging from $1000-1300 for a measly studio about 400-500sq feet!! Can u imagine?


Walked through Streeterville and saw breathtaking Lake Michigan. The scenic view was impressive- all lush greens, people rollerblading, just strolling alongside, the beach, the sun setting...

Walked through the city- it felt just like Madison Avenue and 5th Avenue in New York. I loved every moment of it.I could just stand there in the middle and imagine the whole world spinning around me :)

I absorbed it all in ; imagining me living right smack in the middle of all this life.enthusiasm.shopping.excitement.food.sophisitication-personified :)

I want to live here. And live this life. Why not eh? :) I WILL. I told Aaron I will. Well, he's already living here, so.... *he definitely advocates it* LOL


He gave me insider tips on starting internship :)
and he's kindly offered to drive me around on Sat for apartment-hunting!!! :) :)

Arrived on Saturday afternoon.

Internet down at home. Brian and Sandy have been amazing- really accomodating and super helpful! After 25 hours of flying, my handphone batt died upon arriving at Chicago's airport- I couldn't get in touch with Brian. The public phone wouldn't accept my credit card for some reason :( and the currency exchanger wouldnt change my Korean coins (I transitted there) to US coins :( though I only needed an extra 10 cents more -.-' But a really kind samaritan heard me and offered his phone! *hehe* Phoned Brian up- they were on the other side of the airport -then, they both came to pick me up- and helped me drag 40 kilos of luggage to the other side of the city by train :)
Honestly,if I was on my own and IF brian hadn't offered to pick me up, it would have been so much harder and - draining too..

Thats why they say it's always good to have a friend in need... I am really thankful :)

Yesterday, woke up early and checked out RUSH. Met up with Luke, a med student from Newcastle who was introduced by Carol

I was starving by the time we found out where I needed to be (for MOnday's sessions) so we ended up checking out this famous breakfast place nearby but it had a half hour waiting time. Because I was as hungry as a horse and obviously verbalised it - he offered to make eggs- *laughs*
I said 'I'm so mean la, we just met- and you're cooking for me? hahaha I DONT MIND'
See- thats how thick-skin I am! -.-' *the horror right?*

So he made eggs and cheese.
*yummy*
Then, we went to Rush's library cos I needed internet access and a printer for my pretesting.
Nada. We walked to a ghetto area (for a freaking half an hour to 40 mins!) to find an internet cafe he googled. It was bloody closed!

So frustrated, we took a bus and train to the city to hit the Chicago Public library and that one required an hour's wait before a computer was free !

Buzzed up David Park as a measure of desperation for the Internet and printer for my certificate of completion of BLS -.-'
Thankfully, he was going to be at home in the evening, and he agreed to help out :) :)

Luke met up with his other classmate from UK- Paulina. And we three had fun, we went for deep dish pizza at the famous Pizzeria Uno. Then an absolutely mouth-watering, sinful, super calorie-laden CHEESECAKE. the best hands down. but 100% butter, maybe that explains why it tastes sooo good ;)

Then, we went to MIllenium Park and enjoyed the music blaring in the open outdoor park.. where everyone was lying on the huge laid-out green grass; with wine and good food =)

Barely slept more than 5 hours last night.
Need some tonight ;)

xoxoxo
I know mum and dad have been so worried for me. After arriving at brian's place and charging my dead phone- I found 6 missed calls and plenty of voice mail and a couple of really concerned sms-es.

I cannot believe I cried again at the airport. I hate being such a baby, especially in public. It's embarassing. Auntie Linda and Vanessa came to send me off- with the entire family troopof course :) I burst out and it all came flowing. Despite me being a seasoned pro at this. I love my family to bits and I never get used to leaving home. I love mum and dad and the three monkeys and yiyi & uncle too :) :)

Mummy phoned me up, and she told me 'It's so quiet in the house without you'

I told them so... *laughs* she said they're not used to it :p

Mummy, daddy and monkeys- thank you for always being there for me.
I love U! :) :) :)
