and so he said.

to all who are thinkin- shldnt i be studying?? - yes i should.

but i met the nicest surgeon today.

you see, i went subway for dinner with dilini (actually she jst sat ther. ha)
anyhooots,
she dropped me off and i left my fone in her car
and i was like fuck! i dont have a phone to call her and even if i did
i dont knw her no.!

but she drove off before i could turn ard and scream.

so i was like "erghh" (in a loud-enough manner such that a stranger walking past commented "shout louder next time")
at first, i thot bastard. what does he knw.
but then he offered to help
and told me to call myself w his phone.
at first i declined
but i thot - dont act smart! jst call her or ure fucked.

OH POINT BEING-
i did
and before i dialled her no.,
i saw his mobile pic- oh gosh!
it was a surgery he had done.

and i was lk... ohmygod! are you a surgeon?!?!? (with so much enthusiasm he swore never to touch a scalpel again)
and he nodded.
and i GRINNNNED.
i tell u, i get overexcited when i see a surgeon
cos' i wanna talk, and learn and hear shitty stuff normal ben canny's can't tell me.

and he was exchanged cardiothoracic surgeon frm malaysia.
(what i used to want to do, till i realised it wasnt THAT easy hah)
and we chatted for 45mins outside my house.
(i knw i knw, wheres my manners right.)
but
NO!
i was so engrossed i utterly forgot to offer.

then i found out he's not married (boo- "surgeons marry their profession" he said.)
we laughed.
but we both knew he wasnt exactly mr. happy.

and he was soooo funny. he asked to come over for tea and stuff.
and poor him. no family or friends here.
VERY thrifty- a trademark i've noticed in some surgs.
and he was upset to hear i was moving out in end Nov.

but he was very funny.

and i told him i had a major exam in 3 days
and he laughed.
he said- "monash dont do essay qns right?"
WTF!!!
he is the 3rd person who has told me that today.
apparently his FIRST year essay qn was " describe the embryology of the formation of the face and soft palate"
(now now, with all modesty, i would have answered prolly 3/4of that qn right. HAHS)
but thats nt the point!
he said dont read too in detail and go with instincts.
half the ppl think too much.
(and im sure one in that half pointed to me.)

so anyhoots.
my day in summary- good , skinnyskinny dinner
with a new friend made.

now i wish i was in MMC!
damn!!! at least i could have a mentor or smth like him.
oh but anyhoots,
he told me to find him when im at cabrini cos he does surgeries there for private pts.
(: (: (: yay.
told you i am friendly (:
