HAHAHAHAHA
today is a milestone. definitely.
went for the 3rd yr lect on specificity n sensitivity. just cos my ou xiang's taking it. after the lect i stood outside for aaaages waiting for him to come out. when he finally did he saw me and
gave me a hug!!! and not a half hug either. a proper hug. and thanked me for the gingerbread cookies. and then...
"what are you doing?"
"er.. i was at a lecture."
"where? here?"
"haha yeah."
"oh i didn't see u in there."
there was another lecture right after his.. on palliative care. and obviously i wasn't going for that.
"are you not going for the next one?"
"no."
"why not?"
"erm.. cos you're not taking it."
i bet he thot i was freaky. hahaha. cos he didn't realise that i WASN'T supposed to be in the lect at all. so he thot i was skiving..
and then we walked back to the medical school to put his Zimmer back in his office.. and get the gingerbread cookies. he had to go to his office at the dept of general practice after that..
he asked me if i was going to the lib.. and i told him no.. i was going home. and he said, "oh.. which way is that? down byres road? we can walk together after this." or something like that.
so i happily went to his office with him. and on the way up, he asked why i decided to make gingerbread cookies.
"what made u think of making gingerbread cookies?"
"erm.. isn't that what pple have at xmas?"
"yeah.. but it's strange cos ginger happens to be my favourite flavour."
and then..
"are u sure u're not going for the palliative care lecture?"
"no. is it supposed to be gd?"
"well i don't know."
"it's a 3rd yr lecture.. i'll go next yr."
and he suddenly stopped in his tracks. and went, "oooh. i was wondering what u were doing in that lecture!!"
i suppose it finally hit him that i WASN'T supposed to be there. shldn't have made it so clear. but it's better than him thinking i'm a skiver. aniwae we were putting the Zimmer back in the storeroom and he brought the subject up again..
"so what were u doing in the lecture?"
"er.. i don't know.."
*start making some mumbling noises*
"i thought i might bump into u and say bye b4 i leave"
that's abt it. then we walked down byres road to his other office. can't remember everything we talked abt along the way. but i remembered him asking how long it takes me to get back. i told him i take the bus. cos it takes me an hr to walk back.
"i'm sure u can walk faster than that."
"not really. i have short legs."
and then he kept refering to my short legs. like.. u sure it wun be too far for u to walk down to safeway? etc.
anyway me, being really forward, asked if he minded me going to the dept of general practice just to see where it is and wat it looks like.. cos i've never seen it b4. and he said as long as i'm sure my short legs won't get shorter.
so we got there.. and he invited me in.. since i've walked all the way there anyway. and then he tried the gingerbread cookies in his office. pretended he was going to spit it out cos it was so bad.. but said it was really nice. i hope he wasn't just being nice n forcing it down tho. oh and he kept saying that i was really talented.. making the box n paper bag so nice n all.
"what would ur parents say if u tell them u dun want to be a doctor anymore and bake for me instead?"
haha. that's sweet. felt like i was imposing on him tho.. staying so long. so i asked if i shld go. (doesn't sound v nice. i mean.. how was he supposed to ans that?)
so he suggested going down to the basement.. so he could make tea and we could talk there. that's what we did. can't remember what the conversation was abt.. mostly abt my family back home.. his new house.. etc.
we were talking abt a lot of stuff when his colleague (whose name i shall not divulge) came in. and then they started talking abt the family proj. which was quite interesting. cos i'm doing the family proj this yr. but i kinda felt like i accidentally stepped into a meeting.
after a while we went back to his office. i asked him (again) if he's taking another vs grp this yr. (just to make sure.. cos my stupid friends have been scaring me with stories of seeing him with a grp of 2nd yrs.)
"are u taking another vs grp this yr?"
"no.. no.."
"not even half a grp?"
"no.. the experience last yr was too traumatic."
"it's a gd thing tho.. or i'll be really jealous if u were taking another grp. like, why am i not in that grp???"
"no.. you wouldn't want to listen to my voice all the time."
"that's not true. i sat thru your lect just now."
and then i said i'll leave. so he walked me to the door. i said i felt like i was imposing on him (that was the ONLY bit that was nagging me the whole time.. haiz.) and he said no. (obviously.. wat else can he say??)
oh well.. that's the end. and btw.. do u noe how long it was? like.. from the time we walked to the medical sch to the time i left his office??
one and a half hours!! i'm actually quite surprised i'm not that hua chi now. i suppose if u had quite a lot of something at one go.. the peak of the effect isn't tt great.. cos it's more spread out. i dunno. anyway my ou xiang is the best. heh.
