Its fun catching up with old friends. Knowing that the rapport still exists and a conversation can flow endlessly regardless of the time spent apart - its special. :)

And exploring different restaurants: very impressed with the service at White dog cafe in vivocity - the waiters greet you as u enter and exit - every one of them such that a mini chorus is played out with a nice echo effect! Tried Shahi-maharani for the first time as well with family. Extremely expensive stuff but welll worth the price - the food was really good, perked me up although I was post call and half stoned out. Spaggedies was a let down this time though - horrible sevrice at their Paragon branch. We had to ask 4 different people and wait more than 15 mins just to order! And our tete-a-tete was rudely interrupted by the manager (maybe not but it was someone dressed in a suit) who walked up to the table and left the bill there. Seriously! Compare this to the chinese restaurant we went to today for father's day - lovely attentive service including the knowledgeable waitress who helped us green-horns order just enough portions of the dishes. It was a nice lunch today - love it when a meal is just right, not too filling or too little; and the subtle flavours of Chinese food.

So, that's how the last couple of weeks have bene spent apart from the usual work..on that aspect, did my first ever solo lumbar puncture on 17/06/09. woohoo! :D Part of the perks of being a neuro HO. It is a good feeling of accomplishment indeed. And had 2 very enjoyable calls (really!) all because they were with familiar, super nice MO's! Calls where I spent free time chatting and learning rather than heeding straight to sleep. what a good change from the usual! Hope future calls are like this too.

And now officially the leave starts, my precious 5 days! Time to SLEEP IN, have tv marathon's and hit those novels again! :D
