About Me

I'm a very tall overly obsessive final year medical student. I happen to really like traveling, watching TV shows on my laptop, playing Tetris, art + music, and baking. Religiously. In this blog I'll be talking about my daily events and whatever randomly comes up..

June Highlights!

Okay, here are a few things that happened during June.. Right from the start :D This was supposed to be posted earlier (and not as a highlight post, either) but I'm to blame because I lost the wire that downloads pics from my camera, and therefore, you are now getting a quick highlight post AND crappy Blackberry pictures :D Anyways,

Beginning of June: SUMMER STARTED :D

June 8: Nouraba7's 19th birthdaaaay! I wanted to do special cupcakes to celebrate this extravagant event, and I kept on thinking and thinking about what to do. After much searching (through final days as well!) I had nothing. I mean, I found nice ideas, but nothing amazingly special or different I wanted to do. Until June 7, at 10 PM, my head said Tetris :| Why don't I create something out of Tetris? I love Tetris, and she loves Tetris as well ever since I'd infected her with the Tetris illness (I really mean illness. At first we only used to play during breaks between lectures, but with time, we started playing through lectures of professors we don't like, then during lectures we thought boring, then all day basically -.- Even during final season, our breaks were comprised of Tetris. I hope you now appreciate my use of the word illness :D) at the beginning of second semester maybe? Anyways, we're both Tetris junkies and I thought that this was amazingly suitable. It'll be fun for me to do, and such a shocker for her I guess ;p With that, my Tetris (Oreo) cupcakes were born :')


Okay so they weren't perfect, but I only had a few hours to do the whole thing!

Then, I decided to get in touch with my artsy roots that have been dead for the past two years and use my time more effectively, that resulted in this:

Made with soft chalk pastels <3

A few days after, I had a ROAD TRIP! We went to Riyadh.. 4 hours via car. Loads of fun. NOT!
The trip was exhausting and I was only sitting! I pity my poor dad who was driving.

Ugly pic, pretty red sands :)

But while there I really enjoyed myself that I didn't wanna leave :S I enjoyed the streets, the nightlife, the hotelllll. Faisaliyah Hotel, best destination in Riyadh ever <3>so much fun that I couldn't handle myself and ate rape fish :D


Lol.. Just kidding. I don't do fish. Except very very scarcely. This was advertised in Riyadh Gallery near the food court and I thought it was very amusing. Rape fish ftw! ;p

Also, I bough World Cup memorabilia. Me and Zizo got matching shirts :D

He was uber exhausted after the Germany vs. Australia game.. 4 - 0 EPIC game!

Aaaannnd, at the morning of the day we were leaving, I got too excited and burned my abaya :( I don't know how it happened. The iron was on low. I know how to iron delicate items. I think I should've sued the hotel for their schizophrenic irons -_-

It was huge. Thank god we were leaving!

Then, a few days after we were back from Riyadh, I got baking again and perfected my very first New York style cheesecake..

T'was really yummy, except I disliked the lemon zest I put in it. Disregarding that, it was perfectooo <3>

June 28: My cousin had a pool party. My aunt -who happens to be in her last trimester of pregnancy- was supposed to make the cake, but on that exact day, she went to the hospital with Braxton Hicks contractions (Medic in me speaking. In plain English: fake labor :D) so my cousins mom was confused on what to do and stuff cuz she was busy with other things. Lucky for her, I happened to be there and made her the frosting and frosted the cake and decorated it & stuff. So this is the final product!

I decorated the cake while my previously spoken about aunt did the figures beforehand!

TODAY! June 30: I got back a while ago from Julia Stile's sisters graduation party.. Which was really fun, except that I made a huge fool of myself during truth or dare. Okay she wasn't Julia Stiles. She just looks like her. But she's prettier :D So yeh Meena, I'm declaring that you're way way prettier than Julia Stiles publicly in my blog. I hope you like this :D
For the party I made spider web cupcakes, just cuz she demanded that we wear black, for no reason whatsoever ;p


With that, June has reached its end, and tomorrow is the first of July, which means that I (hopefully) get to leave in 11 days :D That's all that happened during June though I think..
And I thought I wasted a whole month doing nothing.. ;p

P.S:
Even though I'd intended not to do this type of post again, I like it :/ Lol.. It took more time than I'd planned and it isn't so swift at all :D I think I'll be doing this again.

Change?

Okay, so, quick post since I've been very busy lately.. As you can all see, my blog is called Reemo's Tall World. I made this blog back when I was in 9th, 10th grade maybe.. At that time, the name was amusing and pretty applicable to my daily life. It still is now, except that I feel like I want to change it into something more.. Old? Lol.. Not sure. I was thinking Confessions of a Med Student, that's more suitable right now.. Yet I don't want to change it because I like the fuzzy nostalgia the original name gives me.. Change is always good though, isn't it? Ah, the indecisiveness of the Libra. So irritating. And always on minor things. Any suggestions would be appreciated :D

Well, it's official. Summer is finally here.
Yes, as amazing as it seems, the year is over. I mean, it's been what, 9 moths since we started the academic year? NINE MONTHS HAVE PASSED SINCE I STARTED IN RCSI! I'm done with my first year in uni. Wow. That's pretty cool to think about. First year of med school: check :)
Haha, sorry I'm just repeating myself, but I'm really intrigued by this.
That means only 5 more years enshallah :D
About today, we ended our exam at 2 PM promptly, after which I rode with Noura in her car. Instantly, she hooked her iTrip and by 2:05 we were ready to celebrate! She announced this song to be pretty appropriate for our situation.. After which I declared it to be my official summer song (in my head or aloud, not sure :x)



I love it! So happy and upbeat. Haha, totally complemented the moment!!

We reached City Center by 2:15 and started our movie by 2:30. Let me tell you, Prince of Persia was very very nice. I loved every bit. I wont talk about it here so I wont ruin it for anyone who wants to watch it but it's definitely worth watching..
Aaaannnddd, after that, I was on my way to my beloved home.. Finally, a weekend with no uni on Sunday, or Monday, or any day after that for that matter :")
Anyhow, here's to a great year with the oh so fabulous Nouraba7.. We'll kick ass in JC enshallah! Oo 3ugbal 9aef our 6th year!

Moving on to my summer plans:
  • Bake cupcakes.
  • Bake big cakes.
  • Bake cookies.
  • Bake pies.
  • Bake some more.
  • Cook.
  • Bake.
(I'll stop this now)
  • Get a license.. Something I urgently need to do.
  • Lose 15 kg's. (This has been a summer plan {and a new year resolution} for the past 5 years now :D)
  • Get my room prettified.
  • Sleep. Gotta catch up on sleep.
  • CATCH UP ON SHOWS!!!!!!!!! I have way too many.
  • Read a few books.
Most are pretty pointless. Lol.. Buttt.. I have a right to be pointless. For the next three months at least.. So, not a very interesting post to you guys, but to me, it's pretty intense ;)
Till next time.. x
