1st of all..Happy Birthday to Dr James Koh.. who has always been an inspiration to us.. to never judge a person by their CD4 counts, and as a great lecturer oozing with knowledge, and a superb blog writer, who brings us great cheer/utter sorrow after the exams.
and after weeks of calling the plumber/ landlord to fix a simple problem and constantly being ignored probably because they are too hypo to pick up the call, we decided to take matters into our own hands.
And now... for the big story about the tragic joke. few days ago, i saw a rat.. again!! and was determined to catch it and give it a craniotomy, but failed. so.. we set out to get a trap for it. after exploring some options, we came across the wan they used in cartoons..a spring trap!!
being 'smart' medical students, my housemate and i cant seem to figure out how the stuff works. tek jee was holding on the spring, and i was holding on to the other side... it seems like the food somehow wont cause the spring to be released... and all of a sudden....
CLIP!!!!
i tot my DIP is gone...blood was coming out from under my fingermail and dripping down to the floor... but a quick look says tat i didn get an amputation. but cool and calmly, i asked sab for a tissue to wrap around it and try to stop the bleeding.. and even waited for tek jee to pay for the glue type trap!!
and now... if we get the mouse...ill ensure a slllloooooww and painful death..
