A Singaporean girl who graduated from a Medical College in the UK and currently working as a doctor, spending most of my years abroad burying myself amongst medical books, speaking Queen's English and trying to adapt to life in Britain. But I still remain a true blue Singaporean who loves my plate of char kway teow and enjoys the sense of closeness when speaking "Singlish" to my fellow countrymen. Why "The Chinese Doctor"? Because that's what my patients call me since they don't know my name!

It's the dreadful dinner time approaching again, and I'm faced with this problem for 90% of the time here ------- WHAT TO EAT FOR DINNER?!?!?!?!?

I love my food..serious! And I don't think anyone will believe in me saying this after seeing how petite I am...sigh.

But it really is a pain-in-the-ass having to crack my head abt what to eat for every meal everyday. Good thing is...I don't have to think abt bfast, but only having to start thinking abt it now that I've start placement again..and if I don't eat a bit, my tummy will growl...and u noe what? Now even if I have a croissant or 2 in the morning with a hot cup of milo, my tummy starts growling at about 9am!!!! And then I'll just have to be cheeky by having a biscuit or 2 from the surgery, plus cups of tea with lots of milk added to it.

Lunch is a pain cos there's no restaurant or fish bar ard..and I have to resort to eating sandwiches which I so dread. I'm not a fussy eater..but it's understandable why I get phobias of bread right? How will you feel after 5 mths of eating char kway teow everyday? Even if it's bloody delicious, u will still develop a phobia right?!

Then comes dinner. THE MAJOR PAIN OF THE DAY!!!!!!

There I am feeling so exhausted, dragging my feet to my flat, only to realise that I still gotto cook dinner. I actually counted the number of houses I am out of the house on weekdays, and it is actually about 12 hrs everyday. After all the cooking and washing, I'm only left with 3 hrs at most to study and then head to bed.

My life sucks here already, and I don't need dinner to drag me down further.

I'm having a lot of food cravings, and I know I'm being shit for wanting dinner outside everyday, but I can save a lot of time (ok, maybe not much), but at least I save the trouble of washing dishes plus I have enough nutrition to keep my frail body moving.

I'm dying to have a plate of fried bee hoon from the Singaporean restaurant here at the moment. Actually, I wouldn't mind another round of steamboat too. But I'm sure my bf won't go with me, since he said he wanted Chicken Rice, and that actually turned me off because I don't want to be cooking dinner for us again tonight (I was so tired that I slept 11 hours) until he said he'll do it himself.

I'm so frustrated at the moment. I just wish I can come home to having dinner laid on the table for me after having such a long day, but I know it's close to impossible. I'll be glad enough if I didn't have to cook dinner instead.

If only I'm in Sg, life would be so much easier. Till then, it'll be more of a choice problem, not knowing if char kway teow or mee pok is better. But at least, I'm guaranteed that I have dinner to eat without having to cook!

I'm hungry...*sob*
