this is most belated but around CNY time i had my clinical group girlies and R round for steamboat. R and i have the sweetest meet-cute, if i may say so myself. was at heathrow last summer waiting to clear security to head stateside when there was a queue diversion and i was shuffled to a different queue. this new queue was moving even slower than the one i was previously in, and there was this girl who sort of let me go first. or maybe i let her go first. i can't remember! we were both very polite! so we both shrugged good-naturedly at our slow queue and later got talking. because her mama's trained her well, she didn't give too much away at the beginning, just said she was going to singers. and this, of course, got me very excited. so then she said she was doing her elective there, so of course i too had to chime in and talk about my singers elective in a few weeks. we delicately picked our way towards talking about our medsch to find out IT WAS THE SAME SCHOOL. but it's so big our paths hadn't crossed before that!!!! swapped numbers and planned to meet up in singers and so we did! she asked if she could bring N (her housemate) along for the boat ride (they were going to link up in dubai and continue to singers together) and N ended up being my clinical groupmate. she's the absolute sweetest and i'm so glad i met her through R in singers (of all places!). so when i had N and H (clinical group girlies) round, of course we'd to include R and conveniently exclude the smelly boys. some things don't change, no matter how old we get ;)
steamboat with the rice cooker is a life hack, many thanks A! and hm it was the girlie's first time and i was enjoying watching them all excited about this 'chinese fondue'. it's great to be able to share a part of home / heritage with friends so far away. did have a semi-early celebration with my folks who were around just before CNY but it was nice to have friends so eat with during actual new year :)
