My family has this tradition of wearing a singular color for the year... we've done yellow, green, red and orange...and other colors, but it so happened that this year, the largest number of votes went to salmon pink. :-p
(Next year it will be blue.)
This is not a flattering picture for some people here, but I just liked how this one showed different personalities there... :-)

I feel a bit melancholy tonight...
After reading Cecelia Ahern's book, "Love, Rosie", I thought I'd rest my mind from thinking about the myriad of activities this week, and worrying about them... but the opposite effect rang true. I got sadder and sadder with every page.
I love speed reading, so I read it like a race care driver would do his laps...chapter after chapter, until I realized Eloisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18232032711708917885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4848150066288182977.post-18034767604771716132014-10-27T02:46:00.000+07:002014-10-27T02:46:52.082+07:00"gravity"Some songs make me sad sometimes...
Snow Patrol's song is making me a tad bit sad right now...
The cadence, the lyrics...
Or is it the singer's breathy vocals that talks of young love?

Most times, I like cereal without the milk, coffee without
the fuss, and being at work, without having to actually do work.
Today is one of those days… :-)
After an especially stressful week, I’ve decided to give myself
a day’s break (because tomorrow, I’m going to be seeing patients again, and
Lord knows we are going to go on and on when that comes around…)

It was just before Joff's grand rounds in teh morning, when I was about to confess that I didn't get to get tickets. and Mia was like, "Break it to him gently...". Joff's a big fan.

I was in the Surgery Ward doing rounds on my delirium patient...I had already given medications and was writing orders down.
A surgery resident I just talked to about the recent referral, tall, with boyish good looks and a nice smile was milling about in the nurses' station, looking for a chart. Then this song comes on, and then he starts singing the chorus... so cute.
