Hiez everyone brace yourself for an utterly long entry!Well let's start off with Friday!Right so after lectures at one, our community course group @Water fluoridation groupmet up to finalise (again!) our project and get started on the presentation of the whole thing.Well, so we got all our paper and craft stuff out, and then our tummies started to rumble...so we decided to get some grub.As we were making our way out of the exam room, guess who we run into?Dr Stephen Davies, he graciously told us to go help ourselves to this catered buffet thingin the debater room.Apparently they had just had a Medical curriculum staff meeting and they hadjust catered too much food.Well, so basically, we hardworking medics were treated to a medieval banquet tablefull of food.we are talking high end here! Kish, crepes, sashimi, beef, salad, Salmon, fish shish kebabs...etc...Plus we also pilfered a 2 litre carton of orange juice and 6 bottles of sparkling water.Well after lunch, we went back to the buffet spread to see if there was anything else to pilfer.And soon, instead of having a proper project meeting, we were practically having a scavenger's hunt, We soon streamed out of the room with packets of shortbread and oat and honey cookiesTea, sugar and coffee sachetsnicely decorated serviettes etc.My goodness...if you thought singaporeans were kiasu you should have seen my partner's in crime. No plate was left unturned literally.So after that fruitful lunch, we headed off and did our project. Saturday...Went to Edinburgh to watch a Rugby match betweenScotland and Italy in the Rugby 6 nations series!WOW!The game itself wasn't that actively fun i suppose,But the atmosphere and the crowd at Murray field! That was just superb.All the cheering, the bagpipes, the funny hats and all!Just wonderful.Me, Nourah, Dana, keith and Thomas set off from Aberdeen at 8am in the morning,we got the 9.20 bus to Dundee and from there on to edinburgh.we reached there at 1pm and met up at Hay's marketwith John, James and Denise who were Dana's frens.We had a lunch of the most spectacular and authentic Fish and Chips.My goodness all wrapped up in brown papaer with lovely brown sauce, salt and pepper.The most excellent lunch.After the match we made our way back to the bus station and got the bus.At Dundee, we had to make a change and whilst waiting, we decided to get dinner at this kebab place.Well, me, keith and thomas ordered a SMALL Donner Kebab..And frankly speaking what came was this HUGE, lump of a Kebab...How...Ironic...needless to say we had to give up eating it halfway.and after that we caught the bus back to aberdeen.We arrived safely at 9.10 pm.Oh BTW, the score of the match was Scotland 18 Italy 10.So WE WON! Though it was really all due to penalty shots...so I suppose that ain't too fantastic.Okie...guys so that's the narrative.Below are links to some photo albums I've uploaded!
