My Clinical Elective

Yesterday I received the long awaited acceptance of my application for a clinical elective in Singapore.
After a long application process I can now announce that I will be working for 4 weeks in Singapore General Hospital Department General Surgery.

So far, Holger and I plan to travel about 3 weeks together, and maybe we'll be joined by a friend from Singapore. The considered destination for the moment is Vietnam and/or Cambodia. More updates follow :-)

The more precise the content of the trip gets, the more excited I get. 4 months to go.

Juhuuu - ich habe eine DSLR


Sie ist endlich angekommen. Meine neue Kamera. Ich bin superglücklich und werde in nächster Zeit wohl sehr viel lernen und lernen müssen, aber ich freu mich drauf. Rein theoretisch steht jetzt tollen Fotos nichts mehr im Weg. :-))

Girls, what else ?! :-))

Forwarded Funnies: Girls Night Out

The other night I was invited out for a night with the 'girls.' I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, 'I promise!'

Well, the hours passed and the margarita's went down way too easily. Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home.

Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times. I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution in order to escape a possible conflict with him.

(Even when totally smashed... 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos totals 12 cuckoos = MIDNIGHT!)

The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, I told him 'MIDNIGHT'... he didn't seem pissed off in the least. Whew, I got away with that one!

Then he said 'We need a new cuckoo clock.'

When I asked him why, he said, 'Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said 'oh shit.' Cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.

Erkenntnis des Tages / Today's eureka moment

Mein Handy mag keinen Apfelsaft.

My mobile phone does not like apple juice.
