Flower Power

Legs that need liposuction.

I am begining to think my blog is turning into a 'day in the life of a bored podiatrist' log. Certainly not as interesting to read as say, someone who does brain surgery or makes amazing looking cakes and posts them up blown-up in size. I am not that cruel as to tempt you with cakes I cannot make.

The new year started with a bang. I had my first Diabetes screening clinics, which was interesting. There were more cute guys to look at! :) We started the morning with four referals to the vascular surgeon and two to Accident and Emergency. Yes, 2008 is starting to wear us down already. We went off to the Podiatry Commission training on Friday. I was hungry and had yet to have breakfast and we were late. But the boss very kindly told the driver to take us to the nearest Starbucks. I love my boss. Krispy Kreme was too far away and I can't eat cake in the morning. The scholar was pretty uncomfortable as she sat there jitterly while the boss and I leisurely ate our breakfast and had coffee. People can be pretty uptight here *muse*.

The conference was a bore and I didn't know most of the people there. I am sure they were dying to find out more about me as they were all staring blatantly. I hate being cross-examined so I didn't give anyone a chance to talk to me. They thought the scholar was me, and asked her questions while I nonchalantly slipped away. By the time they realised, I was safely in the 7-11 buying Hello Kitty gummies. We agreed unanimously that the Saturday and Sunday session can be skipped. I rather spend my day doing more condusive things like sleeping. So I did. And woke up to go to the Flower Market in Prince Edward. They had so many pretty flowers! I bought some narcissus bulbs and a planter, and some pink water lilies and a vase for them. I wanted some purple roses, but I figured I wouldn't be able to carry them to the cinema. Besides, it is always nicer to receive flowers than to buy them yourself! *hint hint*

I was off to the cinema to watch National Treasure 2. This is the third time I have gone to find this movie and finally managed. It was not as good as the first one, the bad guy was not as evil but I guess it was okay. I wouldn't watch it again. I am off korean drama series too. What has got into me? I am suffering from shopping fatigue and managed to not buy this pretty leather bag I saw today. It was on sale too! But I got some lingerie yesterday.

Which brings me to this: I CAN'T FIND FITTING LINGERIE!!!

Gah! They don't stock my size. Even M&S has to order in from UK and that would take 6 weeks.

I made do with alternate sizes but I am fuming. I can't buy the pretty bras they have in the shops as they don't have anything beyond C and below 32. Otherwise I spend a fortune to buy a proper size when I can get 6 bras for that price elsewhere. I am determined, however, to stock my drawers with pretty lingerie. Good underwear makes a happy person. And you never know when you will be wheeled into A&E. Be prepared!

I have been trying all kinds of local Hong Kong food. Some I like, others I stay away from. Maybe one day I will pick up the guts to try smelly beancurd. The smell is terrible, yet I see hordes of people eating it. One day.. one day.. for now, I will stick with siew mai and fish balls.

My new phone: It was the pink that clinched the deal.
