- So begins my love affair with my new phone. Unbelievable. Yes I am that person who usually shakes her head in disbelief at being a slave to their Crackberry or iPhony (or HTC).  And not that I’m a slave, since I am a very willing participant. I just need to learn how to hook up my uni email to my notifications, then I’ll most certainly be under the beck and call of my phone. Maybe I don’t want to? Hmm. I think I did spent at least two solid days exploring my phone and searching for ridiculous apps. For now, I am more than happy with Cat piano, a metronome, ElectricSleep Beta and Dental Speak :P (just to name a few!) I did not, however, dl the period tracker app or the sex offenders notifier!

- I had an awkward moment with a patient yesterday. Not that I let on that it was awkward; when you’re working and interacting with people, I tend to just accept things as they are (including people’s astounding oral hygiene habits or ridiculous beliefs that they hold about toothpaste).  I’ve been assisting for my Dad, and though the clientele certainly differs from the ADH’s (:P), people are still people…the mind boggles!

Patient turns to me, ‘So, are you Dr X’s wife?’

Seriously? My father is in his early 50’s and I’m wearing a childish SIDE PONYTAIL which must be indicative of someone under the age of 30 at the very, very least! Funny times!

- One night, I just could not fall asleep until 5am. I went to bed at 10.45pm. Frustratingly, I had the chorus of Moves Like Jagger whirring in my mind. Again. For two days. At that point in time, I felt the deep carnal desire to murder Maroon 5 :P .

- I watched September Issue and Thakoon uncannily reminds me of one my tutors. Not in mannerisms, mind you, just in appearance.

- I learnt an important deep life fact which I’m sure will affect 100% of my blog readers :P . Do not wear zinc (even if it is Invisible Zinc) before getting your photo taken. Phew, I know your minds have been blown away. :p The flash will indeed reflect off your face and you will appear to have committed the most obvious makeup faux pas (incorrect foundation shade colour). If you are at a wedding, the beautiful blushing bride will not be the talk of FB photos the next day, more like the sight of your ghastly (or should I say ghostly) white face!

- I find it quite flattering when my parents or my brother ask me for fashion advice (not that my mother needs it at all…she’s innately stylish but just doesn’t care as much as I do).

- The weather has been cold all holidays, and I feel rather cheated! I brought with me a wardrobe of light summery goodness, and now I really almost have nothing to wear; nothing which is suitable for this winter weather incarnation! No I did not anticipate max of <20 degree Celcius days. Last year, I swam every three days (hence had an epic, epic tan [not a good thing]) and the days vomited with heat. This year, I sleep with two pairs of socks and two duvets.
