Yikes!

Yikes! After seeing the sgh sip students who all seem to have become several shades paler (due to 3weeks of total lack of exposure to sunlight) and all have the same defeated look on their faces, and each one of them are full of horror stories, with each tale being more scary than the next, I am getting very, very, very apprehensive abt the following week.
The tales were so bad, they made us (non-sip students) gasp in horror, and moan in sympathy, saying repeatedly to ourselves, "it's ok, it's only four weeks" over and over again like a mantra. Until, some pessimistic soul piped up, "it's only the rest of our lives!" And that brought about a fresh wave of groans and cries.

I'm not gonna curse myself by saying anything more (my mouth has been notoriously known for its suay-ness) except that i think i shall use this week to blog all the backlog of things i wanted to blog abt, as i foresee myself having absolutely no time except to sleep and shit. [I only said shit because I dun think my ge will miraculously depart me during tat time.]

I hope the following blog entry will at least put some laughter into gh a teeny bit, cos i was rather worried when I got my first glimpse of him on thur, never have I seen him look so pale and exhausted.

Hang in there folks, your SIP is ending!
Gulp!

Quite some time back, I was just happily minding my own business, when Catechol out-of-the-blue said, "dear there's smth I want to give you", sneaked a box out of his bag and just very suddenly threw it into my hands. I gasped, took a look at the box and then gave a shriek of shock and horror and acting purely on a spinal level, flung it away from me to some far corner of the room.

[As I'm typing this, I wonder how many of you are thinking box=wedding ring box. It seems like, in the course of this year, almost all my close friends have asked me 'when are you getting married?' I was utterly shocked at first, and said honestly that I haven't even thought abt it, but now, after the 10th time I got asked, i just rattled off the answer like answering a question during tutorial. "Not before 28 or after I get my traineeship, whichever comes first," and as a result, have gotten a lecture by a fellow female medical colleague who got rather disgusted with my priorities.]

Anyway back to the box in hand. Instead of your perceived box, THIS was what I received.


I just stared at Catechol with proptosed eyes while he doubled-over in laughter and collapsed to the floor laughing, trying to open the box with shaky hands. And he pulled out........


HA! GOTCHA!
What were you guys thinking?!

I just burst out laughing when I saw it, and on closer examination, the manufacturers did want to give the wrong impression.
There was mention of "long lasting pleasure" and "heated action" and ALOT of mention about "protection".

Catechol's colleague, whose wife just got pregnant, passed it to him saying, "Nah! Give you! I have no need for it now. You young boy need it more than me." (hahahahahahahahaha)
And Catechol was of course totally shocked too.. I can just picture him shouting "eh! NO LAR! Mai4 Siao4!"

Teeheeheehee

I would love to show you guys the box, but I immediately threw it away and kept the bottle only.
