i can't believe fran's leaving so soon. far from blogging about otherwise mundane things like medicamp, school etc, i've always tried dwelling on things you can't really touch or see or hear, like feelings. i'm preparing to say goodbye to one of my greatest friends (and i've only known her 1.8 years now), and i can't help but miss her already. not in a boy miss girl kinda way, but in a boy miss best girl (space) friend way.

i just got her present ready, though its not quite complete yet. (been putting my surgical hands to good use now, haha!) its amazing what one's mind seems to go through as you perform very surgery-like procedures. i remember when i went for my first hospital attachment, my dad got me posted to the OPERATING THEATRE where i witnessed some of the most gruesome, gut-wrenching scenes in my life. at that time i wondered how doctors did it, how they treated their patients like a slab of tofu and made quick work out of their innards and entrails, but having done what i did today with the puppet, im proud to say i may yet find surgery enjoyable in the near future!!

well that was just a quick update. i'll write again when fran goes.
