as time goes by

- congratulations to lou and nick on the birth of their baby boy edward! they will be heading over to iowa (!) next year for nick's fellowship. and maybe a second (american) baby? :-)

- min is the aged care fellow at st vincent's this year. her days are filled with looking after cute elderly patients, teaching clueless medical students and spoiling eugene and ponyo.

- baz and paula had a shotgun wedding and also managed to squeeze his seventeenth ankle operation in between chasing the formula one racers around albert park in the medical car and studying for his anaesthetics exam. busy boy ryan strikes again!

- brumbles is on to her second year of advanced training at box hill. she's thriving on a diet of clinical work and research. she's also looking for mr right. where could he be hiding?

- chi passed his exams, started his advanced training in palliative care, even bought a house. has he finally stopped pretending to be a rebel and finally started conforming to social expectations? or is this just a sign that he's becoming more mature and responsible? nah...!

- xiang is also in her final year of aged care training. what will she do next year? zouk is still the main man in her life - but she also has a new man! will the parents finally approve? will she finally find true everlasting happiness?

- xiu flew in and out of melbourne like the pocket rocket she was, is and always will be. super-smart, super-energised, super-distracted. pretending her exams are a long long way away... and who is this fella always commenting on her food posts? ahh...
