My Kindle!

Just wanted to show you pics of my new kindle. It has been on my wish list for over a year and finally someone who loves me decided to give me an early xmas/birthday present!


I have already downloaded more than 20books from amazon, thank God for free books on amazon. The only but is that they are all classics! Awuf de run belle:))


Anyway Im spending my time to and from work more productively, I started reading Anna Karenina and im 52% of my way through it! Yes the Kindle tells you what proportion of the book you have read! It also has the beauty of starting you right were you left off, no more do I have to have a bookmark or bend the pages of a book to mark my page.


Its light weight!


Its a 3G/wifi kindle so I can download my books even when there is no internet access!


Anyone can buy me books,kindle books are much cheaper than the hardcovers! I have already received an early birthday present-a kindle gift certificate from amazon! So if you are still looking for what to get me, look no further!

I can browse the Kindle store from my kindle.

The only but is that the other day I tried to read on my kindle with the lights out and voila I could not see the script. I thought it had an inbuilt light,but it doesn't so no snuggling with my kindle under my bed covers when the lights are out! Thats a big downside for me!

But all in all,I love my kindle and the person who bought me one!

    yeah, i got a kindle for my birthday! I need to get me some of those free books. I've been reading mostly samples for now & using the kindle for facebook and twitter! It's such a funky tool. I don't have a kindle case yet, I might grab one of those soon.

    @Anya Posh thanks for stopping by, I should explore all the uses of my kindle been using it just to download free books:) Dont by a kindle case on amazon, at least explore the prices before you do, bought mine @ an airport and it was still $10 cheaper than the same one on amazon! I was certainly surprised!

Bonny Island!

Hi guys, this doctor is in little heaven (not London, London no fine like this). Ill rewind my story for the benefit of my viewers (sorry readers! Does anyone read my blog:). Anyway I was chatting with my cousin who works on Bonny Island and she invited me to spend the weekend with her. My journey started from the boat jetty. After a briefing on safety rules we were loaded on the boat. For some strange reason I wasnt scared, the last time I was on a boat was over a decade ago but I had no qualms about the trip, it took about 2hours but it was smooth! Arriving in Bonny, my cousin came to pick me up, my first sight of the island was of concrete, metal pipes and other materials, it didnt look like a place one would living in. But when we got to the residential quarters all that changed. It looked like I was out of Nigeria, actually I would say I was. The plase was actually clean, neat and beautiful. The streets were well tarred no pot holes, the houses were neatly arranged, the entire est

Death III

Image
In recounting my near misses, I can't but think of how many other misses I am unaware of. As a child, I was the only one who was hospitalized a few times compared to my siblings and cousins. I cannot remember if I ever felt sick enough to be at deaths door, but I do know I disliked getting injections. During one of my trips to the hospital I was to receive a Novalgin injection, for those of you old enough to remember Novalgin, it was the most painful torturous injection ever. I screamed hell and blue murder as the nurse approached with a Novalgin shot. 'I don't take injections', I lamented in my most piteous voice, you would think anyone with a heart would see the tears and back down but those nurses were a special breed. After a few minutes of my temporary madness, my father was summoned, it took just one look from him and I accepted the drilling of the syringe through my marrow (that was what it felt like) without as much as a squeak. The feeling Novalgin gave your bu

My Mother Tongue!

I grew up speaking English as my first language and I can tell you that is one fact I am not proud about. I remember once when we were much younger shouting out the only Yoruba words we knew as children 'olosi', 'oloriburuku' etc. My grandmother came out of the house hurriedly to put a stop to our foolishness, what on earth did we think we were doing? she asked, our reply still puts a smile on my face 'we are speaking Yoruba' we replied. My lack of proficiency in speaking Yoruba ( I can write it:) is revealed anytime I speak to my patients. When our conversation is not just me answering in monosyllables, I begin to speak rapidly in my mother tongue but by the end of my first two sentences, I hear myself stuttering and stammering and Im wondering if the patients don't think this doctor is having a sudden attack of catatonia! My Yoruba teacher in Secondary school summed up my Yoruba speaking prowess to my parents during an open day 'She is a good student b
