My grandma never fails to put a smile to my face :)

This is a snippet of what transpired during the phone conversation to my grandma back at home.

Me: Hello grandma! How are you?

G: Hello? HELLOO? heloooooo *hang up*

[This happened twice, so I presumed the connection was bad, and I called her helper, Diana.]

Me: Hello! Diana macam mana? Ada baik? Grandma ada?

D: Ya, ada baik. Grandma pun baik. Tadi itu Anjali yang panggil rumah ya? Grandma cakap itu bayar sewa punya orang!

Me: hahhaha, ya ka?

D: YA! haha. Mau cakap sama grandma? Tunggu ya.

Grandma: Hellooo?

Me: Hello grandma! How are you?

G: AAhhh NOW I CAN HEAR YOU! I'm okay! How are you?

Me: I'm okay grandma. Do you know who's calling?

G: OF COURSE i know!!!

Me: Who grandma?

G: Erm..um..one of my grandchildren ?

Me: hahah..yes grandma. Which one?

G: Uhh...Indira? No, no, Kamala? [both of which are names of her children]

Me: Nooo grandma! It's Anjali.

G: AAAhh Anjali. I am always thinking of you. Where are you calling from?

MEDREVUE and a little bundle of joy :)

Hello there whoever is reading this!

Last weekend was possibly the most eventful weekend I've ever had, and so I thought I might just blog about it to preserve the memory if I wanted to look back on it in the future :)

Last Thursday night and Friday night was MEDREVUE! And if you're not d

oing med in Adelaide Uni or not sure what it's all about, well MedRevue is basically a play/musical which is done by the med students of Adelaide U

ni each year to raise funds for charity. The play revolves around the medschool, and we basically pay out and ridicule different groups/individuals/lecturers/faculty in our medschool on the night, and it's HILARIOUS! :D

And we also occasionally break out into songs, and dances

as well - i.e. the 'musical' side of it :p

Thursday night's performance was good, but I wouldn't say it was amazing. It dragged on a bit, and I feel sorry for the audience who had work/uni the next morning because we only finished just before midnight! I guess this was quite expected considering we had never actually done a co

mplete full dress rehearsal at the theatre with microphones and lighting before that night, so technically Thursday night was our first ever run-through! Highlight of Thursday night's performance was probably erm..me...tripping..over some meatballs on stage and falling...but...I am not able to give any further comments on this. :P

Friday night was a little more eventful. Ri

ght before the play, I had to go home to take my costumes, only to find that I HAD FORGOTTEN THE KEY TO MY APARTMENT and locked myself out~! I almost had an anxiety attack (I think I probably did) and had to wait for my sister to come home from dance lessons to open the door and then took my stuff and rushed to the theatre - THANK GOODNESS I made it in time!

Friday night's performances was

AMAZING. I had soo much fun, I can't describe how happy I was :) Everything went on so much sm

oother this time, and I was so relieved because all of my friends (and sister) came to watch on Friday, and they enjoyed it~! (unless they all lied to me :p)

Soon after the performance, we headed to the after-party at one of the cast member's grandparents house (the house was so cool! they even had a river/stream thingy in their backyard! NOTE TO SELF: inspiration for my future house - buy a house with a stream in the backyard). Anyways, I was just sooo exhausted after 2 nights of performance, hardly sleeping and having uni at the same time...that at this point I just wanted to just relax, have some fun, and crash once my body gave in completely. But JUST as I poured myself a drink (just before 1a.m), I got a phone call. . . from. . . my pregnant lady's husband.

Overambitious Masterchef-inspired Cooking Spree

Out of 10 friends I have here, 9 of them are sure to follow the cooking competition TV-programme, Masterchef. I am one of those few who never followed it...until the last few episodes. Yesterday, I watched the Grand Finale of the 2nd season of Masterchef. Soon after, all of a sudden I have this burst of energy, and I'm raiding my kitchen with a desire to cook every ingredient I can find on the counter top :P Before this day, I'd cook like twice a year..lol, and now suddenly I'm a cooking-machine! How long will this last? Probably for the next 2 days :P 

Menu of the day: Pan-fried Crumbed Chicken Strips with Mozarella Topping, Cucumber Salad, and fresh Strawberries and Oranges for dessert :)

Yummmmm :) Lets pray the enthusiasm and passion lasts at least 1 more day!

ONE down, THREE to go!

Hell yeah baby! I know this might sound a lil bit weird...but FINALLY exams are here!

Lol!

I'm only saying that because I just can't wait to go home! :( I miss my friends and family so so much :)

MEQ down, now Resource, MCQ/SAQ and Bio to go... :) Will be done in 7 days and 12 days countdown to home sweet home :)

Thank you God for blessing me and being with my in my exam, Lord i pray that you be there for the remaining three exams. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen :)
