A quick update..

I haven't been around here much lately. It’s now more than a month since I last posted anything here..I got lost among my studies..I let the works overpower me..I couldn't find any time to wander around here. But Its no excuse of course. I could have found time if I had wanted to. I’m so bad with time management so that I find 24 hours per day is not enough!

Well anyway..I’ve been feeling a bit low for a while . Don't know why exactly. Might be my workload, Homesick..or anything else.I’ve been so lousy that I didn’t read any blogs lately. I’ll catch up with everyone’s posts soon.

So here is a quick update of what I had been up to since my last post-

*I went home a week after my last post..and stayed there for a week! Yeyy!! Had a pretty good week there. I made some faluda and pudding! *Yeah I know it sounds a bit unreal*. But it is true.

My first time in kitchen- turned out pretty good. Only my mom had any trouble with it- She was worried that I might burn something . So she had been tottering around in kitchen while I was working there :P

Here are few pictures of the results of my 1st kitchen trial-

Apple Moss Pudding

*I’ve spilled the apple cream I made :( So I decorated it with real apples instead! :) *

Faluda

Same Faluda :P

Mango Flavored Faluda ;)

 

* Then , now I’m back in batti. Once again immersed in my studies. My phase 1 examinations are looming close (scheduled for July).

* I’ve got a tag to do. Courtesy- Saranya ;)

*I’ve cut my hair. Little above waist length. *Anyhoodle, it is growing back pretty quickly*

*I’ve managed to watch some movies – Outlander, City of Ember, Yes Man, Slumdog Millionaire, Pan’s Labyrinth, Beverly hills Chiwawa, Unborn, confessions of a shopaholic, and Marley and Me.

Apart from all this, life is getting on annoyingly usual..I’m pretty bored..

Have a Great week ahead everyone!

And...Another semester swings in..!

Heyya everyone! It feels good to be back in blogsville after 2 weeks. As you all know, I was freaking out with my semester exams..Since exams ended last Thursday (12th), I'm bit relieved now...

I said 'bit' relieved . Coz there's no time to relax. New semester has already begun. They started off the lectures for the new semester on the very next day after the exams. Not a single day to celebrate the end of exams! *Sighs* According to our semester plan and schedules, we should have got about 5 days of freedom before we burry ourselves in the books once again. But NO! NOT a single day of relief. They have canceled the leave.

I've been looking forward for those holidays so much. For one thing, I wanted to relax a bit and get some good sleep. But most importantly, i was looking forward to go home. I haven't been there since last October and I so badly wanted to see my mom :(. I miss her so much. And, its my most beloved grandpa's B'day on Monday- 16th Feb. I wanted to be with him on 16th...

It was all those happy prospects which kept me going...But on the last day of our exams..just before we did our last module they put up the new semester schedule along with a notice which announced that all our holidays have been canceled.My spirits sank so low after seeing that notice so that I could hardly concentrate on my last paper..

They are planning to finish about 3 modules in 2 weeks and then give us a week leave to study those and...exams again!! *Is it like this in all medical schools??!!*

Well, there is no point worrying. I need to gear up for another semester...Time to get going !! :)

The time when I least like myself..

My semi exams are looming so close. Exams will start on 5th. They put up the exam schedule this Friday. I feel lost. I feel like as if I'm in the middle of nowhere. I haven't finished studying. I don't think I can finish revising all before the exams. On top of this, we have lectures until 4th..Not a single damn day of study leave. This time we are having all the Neuro modules and..ohhh..I don't know what I'm going to do.

This is the thing about med school I think.. you can never know everything. Maybe It's planned to prevent that. You can only hope you know enough of the right things and have the balls to go in and take the test anyway..Or maybe its just me feeling this way!

I've been bit confident about some modules ..But now when I tried to go through them quickly..I feel like I don't remember anything...My self esteem is very low now..Its going down with every time I try to remember something and I couldn't ...and It'll be lowest just before the exam..and that's the time I least like myself - those 24 hours preceding the exams!

I wont be around here much till my exams are over. So everyone please excuse me for not being regular with posts or comments on your blogs...I'll catch up with ya all soon after the exams.

Rapunzel Rapunzel! Let down thy hair!

Someone is all set to become a modern day Rapunzel very soon. Yes its me! And trust me, I'm not so happy about it.

I happen to have very long , thick, black wavy hair. I love my hair of course..But now its getting bit too long and I find it very hard to manage it on my own. I regret having such thick hair only when I find myself having to comb and put all this in a plait when I'm nearly late for the lectures.

I get a hair cut once in every 2 months or so. When I say hair cut, it actually means hair trimming or reshaping it and shortening it up to my waist length. But it grows again too fast and catches up with my mid thigh level before I could trim it again. Just like magic! Cutting it up to my shoulder level should solve this problem. Its not just that..I also love to iron my hair like many other girls :)..But there are two things which impede in carrying out this solution. Firstly, my mom and then -My mind itself! Mom doesn't approve of cutting my hair too short nor ironing. But I know she would allow me to do so, at least reluctantly - only if I could persuade her more. But I find it hard to do that because somewhere in the corner of my mind I'm happy with this hair... Such contradictions..! I'm getting tired of such contradictions of my own mind! *Of course girls minds work in mysterious ways..!*

I asked my friends for some opinion which would help me to make up my mind and decide. My friends say I've got gorgeous hair and so not to ruin it. Still some of them say It'll look more lovely if I cut it and iron it. *Thank U..It really helped..I'm more confused now :P.*

During last Christmas holidays I pleaded with my mom so much so that at last she granted permission to do temporary ironing but made me promise to her that I wont cut it too short after ironing. Well, I tried ironing and it was a disaster! My thigh length hair became knee length.. It attracted so many eyes on the streets and shopping malls and I received so many requests to divulge my secret of charming hair *Rolls eyes* I hate it when people stare.. Well anyway I've learned my lesson- Not to iron my hair again without cutting it short :).

Well..In short - I'm now in a kind of dilemma..Torn between the wish to have a new 'easy to manage' hair and a desire to keep my 'hard to manage but lovely to look at' hair. As for now..Until I change my mind again.. I guess I'll have to stand on the top of a tower, put my hair down through a window and wait for my Prince charming :D

I've been Tagged!

Another Tag..I've been tagged by Brocasarea, Hemanth and Saranya..Thanks everyone.. I've done it at last!!

Have a Blessed Christmas..

Its Christmas already.. I came back from home yesterday morning.

I had a great time in Colombo. Did lots of Shopping, visited my friends and been to movies. Had great fun! Didn't study anything at all though :(

Yesterday hadn't been a good day for me altogether..Had a pretty tough day. Firstly, the train which I traveled collided with an elephant on the way! Luckily for us, the train didn't derail from the tract. But very unfortunately the elephant died in the spot. It was a huge one. We were in the middle of a forest line and we had to wait many hours before the railway people turned up , moved the elephant out of the tract and repaired the railings. The accident happened at 1am in the morning and we were able to move again only at 5.30 am - More than 4 hours delay..On top of this, I'm having a bad head cold and fever since y'day. Maybe its because I traveled in an A/C compartment on a very frosty night. I feel bit better today, and hope I'll be fine soon.

Well its Christmas today..I'm sure this day will be better than the one I left behind. Hope everyone is having a nice time.

These are some snaps I clicked away in a shopping mall l. I liked the decorations. (Pictures are not much clear as I took them with my mob :P Last one is blurred..I took it while on move. :) )

Merry Christmas Everyone..!

Joining in the Holiday spirit..!

Holidays at last..! Just 1 week though..:( *sigh*. Well still its holiday..!! :) I'll be able to get up anytime I want and do anything I want...at least for a few days..Yey! Isn't that wonderful..? *Whoops*

I know I shouldn't be feeling too relaxed as my exams are looming nearer and I'm supposed to be revising during these days..But..all the same- I couldn't help feeling elated and relaxed. Well, I'm not going to study anything today, at the very least :). I've spent the whole evening listening to my precious Harry potter Audio book (Currently 6th one - Half blood Prince) I'm mad about Harry and I've read the whole series more than 20 times..Nowadays I don't get much time to sit relaxing with HP and read..so I listen to the audio books instead, while I'm eating, driving, washing, etc..Audio books are good but still..there's nothing better than reading a book yourself..Yep, I prefer reading myself.

Christmas celebrations have begun already..Though the celebrations and preparations are bit quieter than usual. Or perhaps its just me imagining like that.

Another Christmas & another year ahead of us..I don't think the world has changed much except for the outbreak of few more wars and spread of poverty and sufferings..Even as you're reading this.. many people are suffering, killed or being deprived of food and shelter..in my mother land as well as in many parts of the world..There are many children around the world who doesn't even get the Christmas scent in the air.. As I think of it, I realize how very fortunate and blessed I am..If there's anything I wish for this Christmas, it is Peace and Love for everyone in the world.

I love this song by Late Singer Melanie Thornton -"Wonderful dream of Peace and love for everyone..." I love the lyrics and music.. One of my favorite Christmas season songs..

I wish this dream comes true someday..:)

I'm going home to Colombo tomorrow morning. I'm not going to stay there for long though. Planning to get back here on Wednesday and revise at least for 3 days.. Mom and Dad are not happy about me getting back early. They feel that I ought to stay till college reopens....Typical.. ;)

So Until I get back..BYE everyone..Have a great week end, Happy Holidays and Advanced Christmas wishes to alllll...:)
