ACP Minnesota

I presented my first poster presentation at the American College of Physician Minnesota meeting today. Although I didn't make it past the first round, it was a good experience learning how to present my case. Here is to more poster presentations to come!

Pumpkin carving

Apparently, the house that we are currently renting, is known infamously to the Malaysian-Singaporean community here as the venue for the annual pumpkin-carving for Halloween. This tradition has been performed in our humble abode for the past 6 years, hosted by previous Mal-Sing occupants, and we were expected to continue the tradition.

We graciously opened our doors, (not as if we had a choice), and welcomed everyone to carved pumpkins in our living room. Luckily, not much mess was made as everyone was very conscientiously trying to clean up after themselves.

I didn't buy a pumpkin this year, but shared it with my housemate and together, we carved our first pumpkin, as can be seen below.
