it sucks rite.. hurts you like shit when things you set out to do in good faith comes backfiring upon you.. i've experienced that, my closest have as well..

but anw, since those last good weeps, i have been really strong abt the matter and eventually finding distractions to get my mind outta it.. felt bad and had to be honest, and now it comes one full circle back to me.. maybe its karma or watever.. i guess distractions werent exactly the best thing to begin with.. i guess i gotta learn to move on, be foward looking ling!
1 yr and 5 months later, i cried myself to sleep again..

ah well, i thot i was. i guess it is till.

2007-01-01T04:12:00.000+08:00

firstly, HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!
may the new year be a joyful and enjoyable one for all u wonderful ppl out there! hee:)

2006 has treated me quite well.. it has been the year that i've experienced so much more than the decade plus i've lived in singapore put together.. got to live overseas on my own, got to travel to london, melbourne, sydney, went thru many many life lessons, became even closer to the frens in singapore that i really treasure (u noe who u are), realised what a loving family i have, basically more than i could ask for.. so conclusion is tt i'm thankful. thankful for everything and everyone that has appeared in my life.. n this brings me to wat i chose to do for new yr's eve this yr..

was jio-ed to go to church to count down and although i'm not a christian (and personally having been to hillsong in sydney, i dun quite like charismatic churches because i really cannot see this whole rock n concert like thing n religion going together.. but tt's juz my own pov, not meant to offend anyone), i decided to go ahead to church instead of watching the fireworks at esplanade because i wanted to give myself an opportunity to reflect on the past yr.. and boy i was glad that amidst all tt rock music, there was this strong take home message that reflected my thoughts - to be thankful.. always count ur blessings and be thankful for wat u have.. you may not be the smartest, prettiest, richest, slimest, watever-est, but being thankful and grateful will always keep u grounded and optimistic during different moments in your life.. being thankful doesnt stop you from striving on to achieve but reminds you to always look out for others..

so thanks dan n rog for jio-ing..
n see tt guy right in front in this pic coming up? my dear RG babes.. can u all remember mr kenneth tan the PE teacher last time?? ahahah was quite surprised to bump into him at church n he immediately responded when i was asking dan if he's a PE teacher at rg.. hahah.. singapore's so small..

and to see my bestie on the 1st day of the new yr and chat till 3 plus in the morning despite her being so tired from mugging was a blessing too :) yipee! thank u wansze:)

aights its exactly 5am now.. gd morning birds.. gd nite me.

new resolution for 2007: to sleep EARLY. right.

2006-12-17T13:55:00.000+08:00

haha next yr i wanna do it again! this time i'm gonna try to run faster and exert myself to the max.. see wat the timing wud be like.. dun think i'd be up for 21.1k anytime soon though.. heh..
didnt get a chance to meet phing but tt babe did the 42km run in freaking 4hrs 8mins.. zai lah.. salute!

accompanied wansze today and crashed nus med lects.. i actually knew bits tt were going on here n there.. haha wat nucleus tractus solitarius and wat bradykinesia and dyskinesia.. sounded familiar :) hahaha.. met tonnes of old faces n some new ones.. all i can saw is tt i wished the bestie was wif my in oz.. it'd the awesome-st thing if we had an apartment together n decorated it together! wishful dreams.. maybe sometime in the future yea girl..

den tt dear girl brought me all the way to ikea just to show me some lighting deco tt she saw n knew immed tt i wud like.. n guess wat?? she was soooooooo right.. i actually saw the exact same lighting in the ikea in oz n was tempted to buy it.. haha! bestie's telepathy!
after tt was off to keppel club to swim and laze arnd in the jacuzzi and in the sun catching up n indulging in girls talk.. i wanna go back again! keppel club has like the most wonderful jacuzzi view! its like outdoors n like u haf nature all round u n a beautiful seas view right in front.. whoosh! it was more than awesome man!

my virgin trip to vivocity after tt.. its so huge! i haf only one word to describe this new shopping complex in singapore -- chadstone-like.. did some quick shopping and i got myself this v cute pair of studs :) wanz bought this v funky charms bracelet.. hhaha.. quite a nice huge place.. need a whole day to work arnd properly man..

all in all, had a wonderful wonderful day out with the girl.. enjoyed her company soooo much! the one person in my life who i can share my deepest darkest secrets with, whom i can entrust to keep it to herself, who will not judge me, who can tolerate my nonsense, who will give me the most honest and valuable yet tactful advice.. mushy n les sounding as always, but i still need to say it, love u babe!! haf a gd trip to barcelona next wk! gonna miss u..

2006-11-22T19:29:00.000+08:00

last day in melb n last night at halls.. haha boy how time flies..
thinking back abt the 1st day i stepped into howitt hall, into my cell-like 3m by 5m room - i was so disgusted tt i had to tolerate such living conditions for the whole yr - common toilet (which is shared both by guys n girl), common kitchen......
but this dusty little cell with the heater on 24/7 has became my home away from home, my cozy little hideaway from the cold outside.. gonna miss it soooooooooo much.. i think wansze will agree with me on this.. can u imagine how the both of us squeezed in this little room for 10 whole days? n she loves it! hahah..
moved 95% of my things to the new house today liao.. juz left with the tiny bits which i'll bring over tmr.. thanks leon n will for helping.. thanks also to those who offered to help me.. intend to go to clayton tmr morn to get the nails done.. hope the shop's open!
well well.. in 19 hrs time i'd be boarding the plane.. gonna miss melb quite a bit.. the bumming arnd these few days have been gd.. juz leisurely packing n watching hk drama serials n doing random stuff at my own pace with no one disturbing.. quite relaxed!
today was rushing to chaddy's before the vip sale to grab some last min items, n while sitting at the bus stop n watching the cars zooming by, i realised how much i yearn to drive again.. the sense of freedom u get from being able to drive urself to anywhere is so damn satisfying.. ahhhhh! soon soon! i'm gonna make sure my parents let me drive home from the airport! haha.. i remember when i went back i june n did tt n chose to drive at some high speed on the right lane, my mum was making so much noise in the car.. hahah..
alriighty, time to snap back to reality n get my packing for home done! hafen begin on tt at all.. haha.. gd nite world n see u in singapore in a snicklebit! haha..

home, here i come! yipee!

kope this from huilin's blog..my fellow tallie.. haha.. hope u dun mind girl..

here is the Manolo's latest column for the Express of the Washington Post.
Dear Manolo,I love heels, especially all the new stacked heels out for fall.
But I'm pretty tall at 5ft10 and would hate to break the 6ft mark.
Is it possible to have heels cut down?

MaggieManolo says, ayyyyyyy! Have the heels cut down?
Have you no shame woman?
Yes, you may have the heels cut down,
although the Manolo doubts that any reputable cobbler would desecrate the beautiful shoes in such the manner,
so you would have to do it yourself, perhaps with the series of inexpert blows delivered forcefully overhand with the small hatchet.
Of the course, the real problem here, it is not with the shoes, the poor, innocent, much maligned shoes
but instead, the real problem here it is the habitual and unnecessary insecurity of the tall girls.
It has been the experience of the Manolo that too many of the tall girls worry that if they wear the heels they shall appear freakish, and will not be able to attract the mens, who they believe are intimidated by their Amazonian stature.
And so these beautiful girls spend their lives slumping their shoulders, slouching around in the flats trying to look shorter.
Bah! The Manolo would have none of this!
Stand proudly tall sisters! Throw back the shoulders and wear the heels, and the mens will fall over themselves attempting to climb your heights.
The Manolo reminds you that some men like them the taller the better, for the example, the magnificent 5ft8 tall Rod Stewart who has been married to both the 5ft11 Rachel Hunter and the 6ft Penny Lancaster.

haha.. thank god i've never ever allowed myself to hunch n am proud of my height! all 171cm of me:) BUT, 1st of all, i need some heels (u wun believe i dun haf a single pair! wat an irony rite)
its quite coincidental but recently i got this new fetish of nice yellow heels.. am gonna try find my ideal pair!
oh yes, n quit telling me to stop being so tall because i dun think i can control my growth vertically..

2006-10-21T14:53:00.000+08:00

a very nice day to end my last day in yr 1.. :) dun quite wanna do reflections on my blog.. some stuff are just too private n sensitive.. am very thankful for all tt has happened this yr tho.. i've had the most wonderful experience coming overseas, making so many new frens, learnt to cope wif the many aspects in life.. its been really refreshing! done some reflections on my own n can safely say tt i hafen regretted anything i done or didnt do this yr.. the most important thing i gained this yr i think is the ability to be a stronger person.. i had to fall many times but i'm glad i still chose to be optimistic abt everything n to strive on..

anyhow, ihad a short pcl lesson in the morn n proceeded to dandenong hospital for my cpp interview.. it went well! no hiccups watsoever.. hee.. den went to my cousin's place for shu's bday celebration.. despite the rain, the bbq was a success n i had fun :) n of course ate my fill.. oh yah n went for the 1st time to cousin's new place.. the view now is definitely waaaaay better on the 39th floor.. haha.. nice view of melbourne city..

but the highlight of the day was definitely receiving the little surprise from my bestie!! :):):) i was soooooo excited and happy when i saw the little thing.. it was really really thotful of u girl!! juz totally brightened up my day! hee:) immediately brought back all the wonderful memories of u n i in melb together last sem.. n yes of course girl! we are soooo going somewhere again together! cant wait man! :D

pek wan sze, thank u for being u.. thank u for coming into my life, thanks for all the wonderful memories tt u've left me wif since we knew each other in sec 3.. like in any other frenship, we definitely had our ups n downs but we nv gave up on each other.. its amazing how the bond between the both of us could haf grown sooo much although we are like dunno how many thousand miles n 2 hrs time diff apart.. thanks for telling me watever u told me in the card.. likewise, u are definitely one person i can really trust n noe tt u truly care for me.. i am soo thankful tt i haf someone whom i noe will hold on to our frenship no matter wat happens..

thanks so much once again babe! the card is reaaaaallllly pretty n yes the pics are going up on my wall! :) cant wait to go back to sg to see u man.. wakeboarding, shopping, everything is waiting for us! :) oh yes n i still need to learn how to french braid from u.. hahahaha..

exams coming soon again.. sian diao.. but nvm lah.. its part of parcel of life.. it juz means i'm coming home soon!! :):) tentative date of return wud be 20th nov! might delay abit depending on housing matters n stuff.. hee hee..

2006-10-09T14:32:00.000+08:00

in just 2 more wks time, i'll cease to haf any more formal lessons n be almost done wif 1st yr in med.. time flew by really quickly..too quickly in fact.. over the past yr tt i've been in aussieland, so many things haf changed.. attitudes, group dynamics, relationships blah blah..

juz felt the need to be reflective n think back abt wat i've done n how it might affect ppl arnd me.. i muz admit tt i haven't been the best very often and may haf taken a lot of ppl for granted.. seeing the new frens tt i've made here made me realise tt u really depend on frens when u come overseas away from ur family.. as much as there were minor conflicts here n there, i'm quite glad to say tt the yr 1 sg meddies haf been a relatively close knit grp of ppl.. maybe not emotionally but at least physically.. unlike the 2nd yrs, we've done really really well in supporting each other n i muz thank every indiv who has contributed.. will these frenships last past clinicals n into our 'doctor' yrs? tt's only for time to decide..

sadly though, some ppl haf defnitely disappointed me.. like really disappointed.. its juz so puzzling how some ppl behave in a certain manner.. is there no feelings or emotions attached to relationships or frenships for the matter? is everything juz based on practicality? can things just change between 2 ppl in just a week? how can some ppl be sooo sensitive while some are juz so damn insensitive? i'm referring to no one in particular here so if u are abt to jump into any conclusions, do not.. because tt will just lead to judging which is not the intended purpose of my post.. but like my mum always tell me, things change, ppl change.. nothing is static in this world.. well den doesnt tt lead to insecurity?? how can u lead a life being so insecure all the time? hmmmm.. thots to ponder on..

so unlike me to be seriously thinking abt such stuff.. ah well, maybe i'm in juz a pms-y mood today tt's y.. nearly snapped ppl here n there.. bad bad girl.. wished i had a car though.. i just wanna drive to some far away place to be alone for a while..

owells, before u guys think i'm in a suicidal mood or sth, i'm not alright so dun worry.. i just need to do some reflection tt's it.. anw, received news tt my i got a little new cousin! :D happy! cant wait to see baby isaac when i get back n baby sit him hee:)
awwww! isnt he adorable? :D:D:D

2006-10-08T00:01:00.000+08:00

med ball cam n went.. was a blast! really touched by the gestures of 4 dear guys, namely jeff, kerf, ethan n mj.. they went to the expense of hiring a limo to fetch a few girls to the venue n back.. the "sweet valley high sch" fashion.. haha.. and we had flowers too! oh man it wud haf been juz a surprise lah although it was kinda leaked out already before tt but still.. how often wud u get guys who put in effort to make ur evening so special.. thanks so much JEM n kerf.. thanks guys as well for taking care of us girls so well n ensuring our safety throughout everything.. :)

it was a fun fun evening! so happy to see all the favt ppl i see in sch everyday all nicely dressed up n stuff :) the girls were all soooo pretty n guys gd looking! had loads of fun n although i barely ate, dropped n cracked my camera screen, kena stepped on the feet so many things, i still enjoyed myself nonetheless! dancing was sooo soo fun haha.. juz all the frens standing there n doing stupid actions together n trying weird dance moves.. hee hee.. n the cool thing abt this angmoh land is tt u actually see members of the staff, like teachers n all getting drunk n dancing on the dance floor as well! haha! quite a culture shock but very funny sight! haha.. thanks vicki (the lady who made us inject ourself at mildura) for the reassurances.. although i noe u will nv be looking at this but thanks anw..
will let pics do the rest of the talking.. enjoy!

2006-08-28T11:15:00.000+08:00

2 more days before stupid mid sem den i can relax already!! cant wait cant wait cant wait!! oh dear.. actually i honestly dun think i deserve any rest man.. given how slack i am now.. but wth lah!

anw didnt go to sch today coz i figured the lessons were quite a waste of my time n the thot of having to walk to sch n back juz totally put me off.. for those who dunno wat happened to me.. lets show u how a second of clumsiness can cause u so much hassle..

i'm sorry if i made u feel kinda sick but yes my foot is in this state now.. i did my own minor op by cutting away the skin tt came out n stuff.. haha.. doesnt it look like some classic textbk wound?? heehee..

not tt pain lah but considering i depend on my dear foot to get me arnd, its quite a bother.. but thankfully i haf v caring frens arnd me to help me wif my makan n stuff.. so not tt bad.. juz feel tt irritated wif myself coz this means i cant play netball this thurs, cant walk arnd much, cant do all the things i wanna do! :( hopefully can still attend the melbourne victory match at telstra dome this sat man!!

alrighty off to change dressing n stuff.. hopefully by deligently doing tt, i dun kena infection or not jialat already.. coz ironically i dun believe in seeing the docs here for this (unless kena infection lah.. but choy!).. i mean like wat can they do rite? hahaha.. kei kiang leh..

2006-08-26T11:36:00.000+08:00

redundant post but can i pls pls repeat myself.. *grin*

"It is funny and ridiculous how so many things you are kept or choose to keep yourself in the dark from when you are in a relationship. You intentionally or unintentionally block yourself off from admitting to the existence of certain bad or undesirable things with the pure naive mindset that he/it will change for the better or that there are so much you ought to see beyond for, to embrace and to be content. You actively persuade yourself to believe certain things so much so to the extent you may be 'psycho-ing' yourself to do so. You compromise, compromise your wants, your needs, your standards, your life, just because you are hanging on to that belief, in what? in the relationship. Only when you are out of it and you look back, you wonder, why did you intentionally choose to push aside certain things just to ease your mind and where the hell did that faith come from? And only when you are out of it you would learn about things that were kept from you by others so as not to traumatize the relationship. But now all these things only give me more reassurance, that I am so glad I am out of it. "

muahahahahahahaha yipee!! :D hyper hyper!!

haha.. anw, instead of studying i was browsing thru all the photos in my comp n reminiscing abt ol' times.. these were juz photos from last yr!! i've put on so MUCH weight....... :(:(:( blame all the junk i'm consuming here lah! argh n mum juz called to say tt they are going out later for more yummy food while i'm eating canned spaghetti here.. haha.. but no lah bro's going back to UK tmr so he deserves all the gd singapore food! poor parents are gonna miss their 2 kids for quite a few months all over again.. n poor brother on his 13 hr flight..

anw i'm feeling super cheeky n if this person were to noe tt this pic is here, he'd prob kill me! heeheehee.. v cute rite? ;) muahahaha

2006-08-16T14:45:00.000+08:00

i noe this post is kinda belated but i've been v bz recently (i haf no idea wif wat!)..
but anw, HAPPY NATIONAL DAY to all my fellow Singaporeans!! haha.. i'm so glad tt we yr 1 meddies are so enthu n united abt the whole thing.. is has always been a Singapore tradition to wear at least red, if not red n white on national day n i'm so proud to say tt us meddies are so on! :D

since i was a kid, i nv failed to watch ndp n allow my heart to swell wif pride when i see the helicopter wif the flag flying past, hear the beautiful choir sing all those oh-so-familiar national day songs, smell the excitment in the air..

n it really doesnt matter if we are in Singapore or not (doesnt mean tt when we are overseas we become more patriotic).. doesnt matter if its our 1st yr or 2nd yr or later yrs.. doesnt matter if we all look damn funny with tt orchid hanging on our shirts (kudos to Hyacinta who bought all of us orchids to wear!) but i hope we will always stay together as one n be proud of our sunny lil island:)

we ate at a shop called 'Singapore Chomp Chomp' which is ironically ran by malaysians (i think) n koko black was the most heavenly thing ever!! :):)
Thank u guys for making this day such a memorable one although we are all so far away from home.. :):)

sorry josh for pang seh-ing u.. we really didnt mean to k..coz i kinda thot tt u were wif ur frens already n assumed tt even if we didnt go, its alright.. biggest biggest apologies from me.. but i can tell u tt i regret not going :(

tmr SAM's gonna organise this national day celebration thing.. i noe its kinda late but better late than nv rite?? ;) haha.. gonna try to stream the ndp n i pray it works coz i hafen seen this yr's.. altho i secretly noe its gonna be so similar haha..

pics from the day itself!

2006-07-29T09:51:00.000+08:00

wk 2 is juz over in a flash n i'll be over for rural placement next wk.. mildura is the place.. for those who dunno, mildura is this place is in the north-western part of the state of victoria.. hafta take a dosmestic flight from melbourne airport.. dunno if i'd be bringing my lappie tho coz apparently this kinda ulu place wun haf much internet connection n stuff.. its weird but i'm not entirely looking forward to this supposedly relaxing trip cum free holiday away from the city.. was hoping it might be a breather away from all the nonsense.. but now seems like tt juz wun be the case.. :(

hectic wk as it may haf been, i had my gd share of fun as well.. played netball for the 1st time ever since secondary sch, supported our 'singapore lions' in the med cup, watched 'click', went out for suppers, met up wif zhen zhen n sheryl who are here on a holiday,ate souvlaki for the 1st time etc.. anw daryl cheng! i wanna play netball again soon! muz do tt as soon as we all get back from rural yah? the ABCs can be rough tho.. got this really deep scratch from one of them whilst playing tho netball is not supposed to be a contact sport at all.. haha.. but i still had fun.. thanks xiao di for jio-ing :)

on tuesday, the HaRD gang decided tt the 5 hr break was such a waste of time we drove down to chaddy for lunch n watched click.. great film i wud say.. makes u cry (yes i was trying to cry silently w/o letting the guys see but there was this one scene when adam sandler replayed his dad saying 'i love u' tt was real funny tt i couldnt hold back my laughter n ended up choking on my tears.. kinda wheezed a bit n all the guys turned arnd n started laughing! boo.. ) n makes u think a lot abt how u haf treated those who really really care for u.. for eg ur parents, ur family, some frens.. one thing i took away from this show is tt i shud stop wasting time n effort being too bothered wif ppl who dun gif a damn, n neglect those who really do..

meeting up wif zhen n sheryl was fun! met the siao siao zhen n the nice quiet but damn cute sheryl.. haha.. we tried our hand at salsa together coz zhen wanted to see wat clubbing in aust is like but ended up going to rongyao's club which wasnt exactly the club club kinda club.. but still it was really really gd fun! haha.. 4 of us who were initially damn paiseh n didnt noe how to salsa at all managed to kinda pick it up in the end.. kudos to rong's n his fren mervyn's v gd lead in the dance.. these guys are good man! haha..

supper last nite wif siyun, jen, wing n gang was damn funny lah.. hafen laughed much for quite a while already.. cant wait for jen's 21st to see wat the ppl will do to her man.. tt girl is CRAZY! anw before i go, some pics from the past few weeks.. enjoy!

alrighty finally all uploaded! phew! off to the city now to meet my dearest cousins! yipee!! ciao ciao! :)

i haf NO idea y john is sneakily grinning at the cam when this is suposed to be a candid shot!!

anw today was another fun day! :) all the time dedicated to my bunch of beloved rj bowling babes! saby came really late coz our dearest now national bowler had gym training!! ahaha.. but nonetheless i was sooo glad to see all of us again! u noe i realised the next time i'd see stupid valers wud be in april next yr coz she's gonna stay in michigan this dec :( haiz.. so sad.. i really dun feel like going back leh.. there are certainly somethings i wanna go back for lah but this is still my home.. sian diao..... anw visited food republic for the 1st time today, went ktv (yes AGAIN.. i happen to haf frens who all love ktv), walk down orchard at my fav time of the day, ate at ding tai fung (yummy xiao long bao n shui jiao!!), went to cosy bay, drove dg all the way back to clementi, basically caught up wif my favt bunch of girls :) happy:):) n coz ziwei has nv seen/heard dg sing, she was pretty surprised tt dg can sing so well! haha! i declare tt both dg n lu zhiyin aka wintermelon lu (private joke abt this mediacorp actress known as apple hong) are super qualified to take part in singapore idol/superstar or watever singing show there is!! they are both gonna win man! but both shy.. so haizzz... hahaha.. anw, pics for the day!

2006-07-08T21:51:00.000+08:00

drove near the national stadium juz now n saw fireworks.. turned out tt its one of those rehearsals for NDP this year.. brings back tonnes of memories from last yr when i did ushering.. the rehearsals wk after wk, the endless supply of nothing but kfc, the weird ppl who only had like 2 tickets but had the cheek to bring a family of 6 thinking tt we'd let them in.. haha.. can u imagine if everyone did tt?? den the whole stadium wud be overflowing already lor!

anws, been in sg for quite a while already.. 1 more wk n it wud be back to aussieland :( :( :( sorry i'm gonna be whiny but i dun wanna go back!!!!!! dun want dun want dun want!! gotta be away from family n frens, away from gd food, back to studies again, being stressful, not being able to see the ppl i wud miss so dearly for the next few months or so :( i really wish i could move monash here or sth..

juz finished my 40 epi hk drama serial Armed Rxn 4! not too bad lah.. considering tt i hafen watch hk drama serials for a looooooong time.. really enjoyed watching it in canto.. still trying to pick up my own dialect.. haha.. could kinda relate to some events in the show which set me thinking again.. owells.. conclusion is.... tt this world is made complex for a reason.. n tt ppl dunno how to appreciate wat gd things they haf right in front of them, till its too late.. oh n before i continue, if u dunno hk actors n actresses well, do not continue reading this para coz i'm juz gonna start rambling.. marco ngai n joyce tang's chemistry was really gd.. i could really feel the love they had for each other n for the family that they've built together.. the scenes when she chose to believe n support him altho he was unfaithful to her were unbelievably touching! i really kowtow to such woman coz the strength tt she portrayed thru out the time her husband went missing n having to act strong in front of her family n children is sth i think not every person wud be able to do.. bobby au yeung is ridiculously funny as usual n such a joy to watch.. ada choi on the other hand was juz pissing me off lah.. juz merrily dumping her boyfrens like as if relationship's game or sth.. argh! cant stand ppl lidat! n there's this funny woman.. her name is yoyo mung.. wat a name to gif urself! heehee.. cant help laughing everytime i think of her name.. quite chio but acting's weak.. but i really like the character she portrayed in the show.. strong, determined, witty woman who fights for wat she wants, including in her love life.. i salute her! :)

alrighty, time to shower n den bed time! been sleeping so late nowadays its damn bad! tmr going to aiport to pick bro up!! yipee! before i go, shall leave u guys wif some pics! :) wif love, from singapore :) nites!

behind tt cheery, i-am-alright mask, is a pained soul.. nv knew it wud be this difficult.. sighhh..

anw been reminded by melissa abt the word 'karma' recently n did some deep thinking.. i fully believe in it n i realised tt it doesnt take the next life time for watever u do to get back to u.. in the words of alicia key's karma, "What goes around, comes around. What goes up, must come down. It's called Karma baby"
cool beans..

anw another song has been on repeat mode on my comp wif my funky new speakers till my mum started complaining yesterday.. she cant believe how i can listen to such opera-like songs over n over again.. haha.. well the lyrics are nice wat.. n brings back beautiful memories of this musical i watched in london:)

Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again - Phantom of the Opera

You were once my one companion,

you were all that mattered.

You were once a friend and father,

then my world was shattered.

Wishing you were somehow here again,

wishing you were somehow near.

Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed,

somehow you would be here.

Wishing I could hear your voice again,

knowing that I never would.

Dreaming of you won't help me to do,

all that you dreamed I could!

Passing bells and sculpted angels,

cold and monumental.

Seem, for you, the wrong companions,

you were warm and gentle.

Too many years fighting back tears,

why can't the past just die!

Wishing you were somehow here again,

knowing we must say goodbye!

Try to forgive, teach me to live!

Give me the strength to try!

No more memories, no more silent tears!

No more gazing across the wasted years!

Help me say goodbye

Help me say goodbye...

2006-06-27T22:43:00.000+08:00

its interesting wat aaron told me when i met him n william for supper last nite.. n daryl pang seh-ed us :( aiyah tt person the nite before dunno go where didnt sleep den was light headed n couldnt come.. hahaha..

anw back to the main pt.. aaron felt tt i've changed after juz being away from home for 4 mths.. i was like thinking "oh shit. for the worse or better?" n so i asked.. n he said "of course better lah"
haha phew! he said sth like he couldnt place a word to describe the change but tt i seemed more confident n haf a better outlook of life.. interesting.
aaron n william both haven't changed much tho, i felt.. muz be army lah.. its killing these poor guys' brain cells.. haha..

but yeah i think i've changed in certain ways.. the whole being away from home thing gave me no true comfort zone to bury my head in when i really needed to.. met all sorts of new ppl.. ppl from all over the world, from all walks of life..ppl who haf life outside studying, ppl who didnt follow the boring pri sch-sec sch-jc-uni path, for eg terrence.. oh speaking of which, congrats terrence on topping ur cohort!! haha.. proud of ya! :)

certain things which happened has defnitely affected me quite a bit.. but i guess everything is an experience in life, isnt it?? owells.. trying to haf a +ve outlook like aaron said.. haha.. but sg is definitely doing me some gd i guess.. back home to my family.. to the unconditional love tt i've always taken for granted..

went for a hair curt today! hee hee.. i think i look weird :( shall gif it a few days to grow lah.. always lidat one.. n i had my crystal jade la mian xiao long bao today! yay! been craving for tt for quite a while already..

alrighty time to shower n den sleep.. cant wait to meet the HaRD gang tmr for our dim sum buffet n den movie!!

this post is specially dedicated to miss pek wan sze - a wonderful girl who has nv left my side since we became classmates den frens n eventually best frens.. cheers to 5 solid yrs of frenship my girl!

i remember the day i noticed that you were alone in class.. tho u were sitting next to xiu ming n grace but u were not really talking, juz doodling quietly.. i juz thot it wud be nice to say hi coz u were always so quiet n haha ANTISOCIAL hahahahahaha.. (dun kill me woman! :P) no lah i'm kidding.. i think u guys had some probs rite at tt time? correct me if i'm wrong.. since tt day we started talking n hanging out more.. tho we still sat separately in sec 3 but in sec 4 when i think we could choose where we wanted to sit, it was no doubt where we chose to sit.. hahaha.. shiyan, me ,u n daph at the back row seat.. hee hee.. we had so much fun together man!! talking, drawing on someone's backside, going toilet together, laughing at teachers, getting in trouble wif ah hoon, maria n neo ah moi (who prounounces mineral salts as 'mirror' salts hah), erm doing the stuff we shudnt be doing during tests *grin*

n OBS.. how could i ever forget tt.. u took the top bunk, i slept below u.. we were both quite afriad of the dark n wud talk to each other till both fell asleep.. we did the jetty jump together.. i saw u stood there frightened n i tried to encourage u to my utmost best.. coz i was juz as scared before my turn.. (phing u are not supposed to laugh at this ah!!) i hated the rock wall n u encouraged me to climb as high as i could.. we kayak together for dunno how many hours from ubin to sembawang.. it was one of the most trying moments.. i was so physically n mentally exhausted n u, my dearest girl, i saw u lost ur cool for the 1st time in my life.. hahaha.. till this day, i can still remember how everything looked like as the sun was setting n we saw the sembawang jetty from afar.. the whole atmosphere was juz so majestic, i started tearing behind u.. wonder if u knew but i was paiseh to say.. haha.. wonder how u felt den..

after we grad from rg n went to separate jcs for the 1st 3 months, we still made sure we kept in touch n updated one another abt our lives.. i remember u kept persuading me to come to rj.. tt u were not tt happy in ur class.. poor girl.. after 3 months, i came over.. sadly, we didnt haf the luck this time to be posted to the same class.. but still everytime i saw ur familiar face in the lect theatre or along corridoors, i couldnt help but smile.. n i'm really glad tt altho we both had our busy lives to run wat wif all the stupid work n cca stuff, we still made it a pt to catch up whenever we could n even went out after both our last A n O level papers.. haha.. i remember u fretting over the physics design prac qn tt u 'screwed up'.. haha.. in the end, still got the A rite? :)

jc went by in a flash n before we knew it, we are all J4s now.. haha sounds old doesnt it? haha.. anw babe, juz wanna thank u for the wonderful frenship we share.. life wud haf been so different n prob more difficult w/o u girl.. thanks for gifing me so much support when u were at aust.. u made sure tt i completed my assignment (i was too in a holiday mood n i bet u were more kan cheong damn i was), u waited patiently when i dilly dally-ed, u listened to me complain, u gave me the hug when i needed it the most, u tried means n ways to salvage the situation, u displayed a side i've never seen before because u wanted to protect me.. thanks loads loads loads babe.. aust aside, thanks for always being there.. from the phone calls we used to make to each other till 3am or sth in sec sch to how we keep each other updated on everything tho we are so far apart now.. i want u to noe tt i'm also always there for u girl, always..

HOME SWEET HOME :)

finally............... weather is er-hem haha wat can i say man.. hot n suffocatingly humid.. haha.. i drove back from the airport.. n i'm quite proud to say tt i parked into my house front porch in one try.. haha not bad.. hafen lost my parking skill! hee.. i miss pek wan sze already.. the past 10 days wif this girl meant so much to me.. wat wud i do w/o a fren like her man.. talk more abt this next time.. its aussie time 4am now n i'm freaking tired from the lack of sleep accumulated over the whole sem.. haha.. but it was wonderful time spent wif this girl.. had tonnes of fun, ate so much, caught up abt everything in life, shared the deepest darkest secrets haha..

anw the flight back was an experience man.. it's the 1st time i'm flying w/o my family n wansze was in biz class.. she almost couldnt be on the flight man! thank god she got a seat.. phew! had to clear immigration 1st coz she was waiting to see if she could get a seat outside.. i was so afraid she wouldnt.. n den coz i was so worried abt her i didnt even bother abt choosing my own seat so i kanna a window seat wif 2 old angmohs outside.. felt so bad everytime i needed to go toilet or sth coz i had to make them stand for me.. so i had to tahan lor when i was urgent haha..
anw caught 'i not stupid too' on the plane.. everyone's been saying its good n i hafen watched it so yeah.. its not bad lah.. i was so touched by the unconditional love from the parents that i started crying like mad on the plane.. hope the 2 angmohs didnt get scared by me coz i was sniffing, coughing uncontrollably (oso coz of my flu lah), wiping tears.. sighhhhhh... dunno lah.. think i've been trying to be strong thru the whole sem.. act strong or sth dunno.. nv really teared or watsoever.. the emotions tt haf been kept within juz suddenly all came gushing out.. i realise i always cry on the plane n will probably continue to do so haha.. like when i came back from london, when i left for aussie for the 1st time, when i leave sg in 3 wks time....... felt much better after a gd cry lah.. crying is therapeutic haha.. thot thru stuff.. ppl fall down but they gotta pick themselves up i guess.. owells i always tell myself i'm strong girl n i'll continue to be!

alrighty enuff of the disgustingly depressing post on the 1st day i'm back in the beautiful country i call home.. time for bed.. mum's showing me a black face haha! she hates it when i'm on the comp sighhhhhh

2006-05-28T23:15:00.000+08:00

Did I disappoint you or let you down?
Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.
So I took what's mine by eternal right.
Took your soul out into the night.
It may be over but it won't stop there,
I am here for you if you'd only care.
You touched my heart you touched my soul.
You changed my life and all my goals.
And love is blind and that I knew when,
My heart was blinded by you.
I've kissed your lips and held your head.
Shared your dreams and shared your bed.
I know you well, I know your smell.
I've been addicted to you.

Goodbye my lover.
Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.

I am a dreamer but when I wake,
You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take.
And as you move on, remember me,
Remember us and all we used to be
I've seen you cry, I've seen you smile.
I've watched you sleeping for a while.
I'd be the father of your child.
I'd spend a lifetime with you.
I know your fears and you know mine.
We've had our doubts but now we're fine,
And I love you, I swear that's true.
I cannot live without you.

Goodbye my lover.Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
And I still hold your hand in mine.
In mine when I'm asleep.
And I will bare my soul in time,
When I'm kneeling at your feet.

Goodbye my lover.Goodbye my friend.
You have been the one.
You have been the one for me.
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow.
I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow.

how time flies! 1 final week of sch ahead n tt's the end of sem 1 already! by the time i leave aust for home wud be almost exactly 4 mths since i left changi airport.. doesnt sound tt long does it? ahahaha.. owells..

4) all the yummy food trails wif monash peeps
5) more yummy food trails wif my darlings back home..
6) tonnes n tonnes of time wif dg (hey godsis! i hafen satisfied my craving for yong tau foo! n everytime i think of u n yong tau foo, i think of tt food court we ate at opposite SMU)

why med?
may sound superficial coz i wun be bothered to explain myself much further but after sucha long day, i feel tt this is gd enuff..
i love bio esp wif relation to the human body.. its intriguing + i love interacting wif ppl.. its interesting! to understand n react to wat different ppl can put forward to u is really sth i feel is so hard to achieve but tt's the challange

how this is going to relate wif my thots for the day, i dunno, i dun care.. they juz felt kinda related to me.. sorry reader i'm in a v heck care mood.. really sorry if i've kinda spoilt any moods k..

anw today was a mentally, physically, emotionally draining day.. right now i'm so tired i juz feel like quitting, but nah.. tt's so not me.. i feel like i juz wanna pack my stuff up, fling my arms in the air n juz go home.. its always easier to take the easier way out ain't it? home's tempting.. but nah, tt's so not me.. i so wun do tt man.. at the end of the day i wanna leave this beautiful world knowing tt i've risen up to challenges n setbacks thrown at me n tt i've done everything to best n to the clearest of my conscience.. only den will i noe tt i've led my life wif absolutely no regrets..

n no i wun quit coz every morn i wake up feeling so blessed wif the ppl in my life who's been supporting me.. my parents who gif me the unconditional love, my loving n caring frens, my cousins.. i cant let these ppl down so i need to fight on man!

on a lighter note, going home soon.. a breather away..my family, my home, my frens, everything familiar.. i cant wait! :) smiles
but tt's before i cross this huge exam barrier haha! hang in there ling!

ps. i found this msian girl here called ong ling ling!! our names are juz 1 freaking letter apart.. how exciting is tt! :)

i've been alright for those who's been asking.. thanks dear peeps.. thanks for all the care concern.. i'm alright n i'm strong!! anw i realised tt as difficult as life can get sometimes, keeping tt optimism there is darn impt.. i noe i'm lucky.. i haf singapore to look forward to.. but i freaking feel like going to london.. but owells.. we cant haf everything can we? its not easy to be stress-free esp when there's tonnes of sch work, tests, exams, assignments, moods, problems here n there.. but optimism has kept me strong i guess.. n i'm sooo glad i haf damn supporting frens.. like ppl who wud listen to me rattle on n on.. ppl who cheer me on, ppl who drop msges or phone calls to check whether i'm alright, ppl who do things for me in the middle of the night.. u guys noe who u are, n from the bottom of my heart, thank you! i'd not haf survived w/o u guys, really..

anw, weather's turning colder n the wind here is really really strong! autumn has unawaringly (is there such a word?? my english is junk now) settled in.. the grey skies hasnt really affected my mood drastically yet.. i think it might lah esp when exams draw nearer.. which happens to be in i think 4 weeks time?? n there's an assignment to complete as well.. BUT i think tt fact hasnt quite sunken in.. coupled wif the fact tt i always giving myself excuses.. i mean think abt it.. its only yr 1 sem 1.. n this entire sem is only 20% of the entire yr's final grade.. so like if u dun play now, den when? heard the learning curve for yr 2 is v v steep which means tonnes of mugging next yr.. so haha good excuse i've given myself! :) pretty proud of it.. haha.. i bet dg wud juz shake her head in disgust when she reads this haha! can already imagine her face!! my dear godsis..are u disgusted?? hahaha..

oh gosh n yayness!!!!!!!! this reminds me... i'll prob be flying back on the 18th of june!! tix are quite confirmed :):):) juz typing this makes me happy:)
n wansze will be coming on 11th so we can spend 1 week here shopping, touring n stuff den fly back together! yay juz me n my bestie! damn fun lah both of us on the plane.. haha always wished i could fly wif a fren instead of family.. cheap thrill but its sth i've nv been able to do apart from geog trip back in 2001.. den it will be 4 solid weeks in my sunny island - home!! yay yay!! juz now during lect suddenly the image of taka n me driving my car juz came into my mind n bec was so disgusted tt i wasnt quite paying attention.. haha.. 4 weeks of good food, home cooked food, no laundry, no stress, no groceries, no dishes to do, beloved family n frens tt i miss so so dearly.. CANT WAIT!! :)

these are some nice autumn pics which i koped w/o permission.. sorry xy! they are juz too beautiful n i didnt get a chance to go take pics of them..

recap, spent the weekend out wif cousins on a rented car.. wat an adventure!! got lost quite a few times n had to do tonnes of U turns haha! serene came up wif this half an hour theory which meant tt we had to set an extra half an hr for getting lost.. haha! but it was really gd fun! its amazingto see how we've grown from lil kids, begging our parents to let us stayover at each other's place to now being able to travel n explore a foreign country together! i love my cousins!!

n sunday meeting up wif ppl n watching danny bhoy at melbourne's comedy fest.. it was gd! tt guy 1stly is shuai4, n 2ndly damn crappily funny.. laughed myself silly:)

oh yah.. n on sunday i saw this protest thingy on swanston st (one of the big roads in the city here).. couldnt help taking some pics.. its stuff like this u'd nv find in sg tt's really worth to take a 2nd look at here.. its not against the law to do this here as long as its organised n there muz be approval or sth lidat.. how funky.. check it out!

latest addiction to my all time favourite hk drama serial tt i only slept at 6am 'last nite' despite only hafing 3-4 hrs average of sleep for the past few days due to my mid sem exam which sucked, clubbing on fri nite (2nd time in my life! how guai), paintball on sat early morn.. woke up at like 1pm today n rushed to the city to meet up wif jinny n her frens.. it was a greeeeaaaat time meeting up wif them.. haf always talked to jinny but hafen met wif her properly ever since i've been to aust.. haha n aaron sounded quite shock when i told him tt i was wif his sis! haha.. n later he admitted tt he was.. hhaaha.. like it didnt register for 3 mins or sth.. hahaha..anw her frens are a damn interesting n fun to be wif too! :) nice new frens i haf:) super super funny girl called xueling.. hafen had sucha gd laugh in such a long time! anw, felt like being thrifty today so didnt spend any money on shopping at all tho i saw tonnes of nice n affordable stuff.. had gd viet food for dinner.. :) some cheery pics from the last few days 1st..

wif chiobu christine on the way back from paintball..

the bunch of siao za bors at the back of the bus! :)

rach! christine's small cute little sis haha.. more paintball pics will come when i get them from the ever slow sitian..

in the club.. oh gosh i didnt realise i caught some hanky panky on cam!

at the entrance of the club..

haha we were abit high after drinking n dancing for a while n did stupid stuff while resting our feet!
this is supposed to be an act cute pic.. haha but looks damn off!

4 girls in the city!

kerf posing! haha

mel, jon n i on the dance floor:)

jinny, xueling the damn farnie one n me

grp pic:)

jinny u are quite light! i could tahan u sitting on me! haha

but now feeling quite sad.. tonnes of thots running thru my head.. like wat are we always to complain abt how we dun haf time to do stuff, tt we are stressed, this that?? tt we dun haf this dun haf tt when we compare wif the ppl arnd us blah blah.. watching my batch mate joan chan shu fang battling cancer n now given quite a bad prognosis, i feel so upset yet damn proud of her at the same time.. her strength n courage is sth i dunno i'd ever possess if i were in her postition.. phing oso set me thinking when she told me
"..but at the end of the day, the thing that struck me most was that a person could be this and that and in high places and bright future ahead and blah blah, but everything can be lost in a blink of an eye.... but for peeople to know that all the accomplishments in this world are only temporal, so the question to think abt is where you will go lor..."
well stuff to think abt i guess.. dun worry phing i noe u are not preaching.. i was thinking abt this after u told me..

straits times featured her again today n i'm really proud of wat RGS n some other batch mates haf done to raise funds for shu fang.. to date they've managed to raise $130,000 for her.. n frens are always keeping vigil by her side to gif her n her family support..
Says RGS principal Deborah Tan: 'I told the girls 'once a Rafflesian, always a Rafflesian'. I saw Joan as one of our flock and that motivated us to do something.'
i pray for her health.......

I CANT STOP SNACKING!!

2006-04-18T03:22:00.000+08:00

dun ask me y i'm wide awake at this zombie hour.. i haf no idea too.. think its coz of the caffeine from the coffee juz now.. anw realise its almost gonna be 2 mths since i've been to aust already.. doesnt sound like a long time rite.. but if u gotta suddenly live out on ur own doing every single under the sun on ur own, right down to making the decision of whether u wanna wash the plastic container coz u wanna save it for next time or juz chuck it into the bin coz u are juz too damn lazy or its too damn mah fan (excuses!) to wash tt damn oily thing, 2 mths is a loooooong time.. coupled wif the fact tt u miss all the wonderful ppl at home, the luxuries u had, the gd food served right to the table everyday etc.. u get my pt..

since i couldnt really get to sleep i decided tt i shud do some mugging coz i'm waaaaay behind time n my mid sem exam is this fri! wat a great easter break man.. but cant really seem to concentrate.. dunno y.. keep browsing thru online shopping websites (its damn exciting to buy stuff leh but i juz bring myself to hit the checkout button), blogs.. n the hk serial tt sy lend me is staring at me now screaming 'watch me!'..

but hey wonglingling! wun u sick of slacking arnd too much last yr??!! so u shud jolly well be glad now tt the time for mugging has returned! but all u noe how to do is complain.. tsk tsk tsk..
before u ppl out there think i'm a mugger or sth, i wanna remind u tt my A levels ended in dec 2004 n i had a whole yr of slacking in 2005 before coming here in feb.. tt was a whole yr of FREE time lor! like since when did we ever haf free time from the time we started pri 1?? tt was y i was dying to start sch when i saw all my batch mates being busy in sch.. n it didnt help tt those trips tt i wanted to make like to aceh for the tsunami thing didnt get thru coz mum didnt allow! sighhh.. but come to think of it.. 2005 was pretty gd lah.. i did a few jobs here n there, made money for the 1st time, helped my parents out, passed driving on my 1st attempt:), tried to pick up some malay, got myself on the papers for the 1st time n for sth gd, gave a speech in front of like dunno how many profs n chairman of A*STAR n students (wah it was freaking scary!), went for tonnes of interviews (k i'm damn bo liao now so i shud make a list: monash, uwa, unsw, uni of adelaide, barts n the london, smu, beloved nus.. of which nus is er-hem my beloved uni).. wat else did i do?? hmm.. tonnes of random stuff lah.. made quite a few new frens here n there.. smu, london med ppl, the monash peeps whom i'm counting my life on now.. not bad.. ah the best thing was to be able to get up everyday at like 11am or sth w/o feeling guilty.. haha.. dun need to watch my time when i do stuff.. tt was life man..

hey but i'm not complaining abt life now lah.. tho its hard to be on ur own, but its GOOD.. except for the fact tt i'm spending so much of my parent's money now, i'm so glad i'm not stuck in sg n hafing to serve a 5 yr bond after tt.. i love singapore coz its my home afterall n my roots are stuck firmly there but going overseas is a wonderful fresh experience! u do so much n learn so many different life skills i think u'd never bother to pick up hafing a maid at home.. n not juz bury ur head in anat, physio, biochem n dunno wat else the whole day.. n yes the freedom is wonderful lah.. i miss my parents duh.. but sometimes less nagging to wat time u shower or sleep or spend less time on the comp is gd:) heh they will so not be happy if they ever see this man.. haha which i suspect they juz might coz they noe abt my blog being ont digital life.. haha.. but lets juz pray they are not tech savvy enuff yet to come check out my blog.. haha

anw here, they teach u stuff like how to gif injection early in the course, make u reflect abt the sociological, ethical aspects abt med n stuff lidat.. there are times it gets boring but i think sometimes it makes u think n reflect oso n u realise tt med is not all juz abt knowing every single nerve or bone on ur body.. den lidat wats the pt of those books where u can refer to next again next time?? u might as while go n be an anatomist (haha is there such a thing??)
oso, interacting wif angmohs is not easy but being exposed constantly to a whole new culture is a refreshing experience n i'm loving it!
aiyah type until sian liao.. think i shud go to sleep.. getting sleepy n i can hear my muslim neighbour coming out for prayer n the bird chirping liao.. haha.. anw, before i zao, shall put some nice pics from jon's n my bday surprise by the monash peeps:) hafen put it up yet since den.. dilly dally..

wah luckliy i'm not a guy n they didnt bully me.. haha

2006-04-05T15:10:00.000+08:00

replies!!

annenonymous: eh dun think u disguise ur name in tt thing i cant tell who u are k!! hahaha.. u are damn farnie too lah girl! everytime u take the sg flag n start waving it n dancing arnd the house i juz wanna laugh until cannot tahan.. hahahahaha.. (ooops let ur dirty secret out already! ahhaha) thanks for the great company while i cook :) no wonder my food turned out nice :):)

mdm loi / mrs chan: haha girl still cant really believe tt u are married! hahahaha.. eh i want to see the baby soon k! yeah man ever since i've been here i really really treasure all the veg my mum cooked at home.. its soooooo much work!!

em: hey babe how are u doing?? yeah i noe i see ur pics sometimes too! but no lah horrible ur head!! so yummy!! n u are damn hardworking lah.. bother to cook in sg.. everywhere can da pao so cheap n yummy.. ahaha.. i getting lazy these days.. v mah fan to cook in halls lah coz communal kitchen n all.. anw, take care loads girl!!

aaron: haha hey!!!!!!!! so glad to hear from u! its been ages! haha. . k lah life here not too bad.. i mean its not tt great lah.. everything has its pros n cons n i'm sure when u are at brown u'd realise tt its not as fun as u expected it to be.. but den seize every chance to explore n haf fun when u are there yah!! this sept rite? or next?

sab toh: hey girl u jia you too!! when will u be going back?? i'm so glad i'd be going back this july lor.. cant wait! haha yah but this one cup is like A$3.50.. how ex lor..

wing: eh NDP is nostalgic too k coz i took part in it last yr n was there to like witness stuff.. haha.. aiyah was trying to put sights of sg instead of pics of human beings haha..

speaking abt patriotism, i'm not ashamed to announce tt actually i'm secretly damn patriotic.. hahaha.. like the kind who wun sing the national anthem during assembly n juz mumble the pledge but when i hear those national day songs n esp when everyone's singing together, sth in me will juz suddenly trigger those tear glands.. hahaha sounds damn stupid i noe.. stop laughing! but yah lah.. i love my country!!

which brings me to my next point.. today we had this sociology lect.. n i was damn relieved tt it wasnt the usual rosalie woman (she's famous here for like being damn long breath n can spend like 30min on 1 powerpt slide.. making up make-up lects etc..) anyway, some guy from la trobe uni came to lecture us lah.. initally he was quite funny coz he was asking like who's from which country n when he came to sg he was like shouting "majulah singapura!"
thot to myself "well finally! we haf a decent lecturer who doesnt mumble to himself (think bowden), is quite funny n seems like a nice old man.. but alas! thruout the freaking entire lect, he seemed to be damn against singapore lah! kept picking on us like how singapore unlike aust has no rural areas n hafta reclaim more land from the sea n tt we are all living 3m apart! k i noe sg is small but the tone was oh-so-wrong! if anne was there i bet she'd haf stood up n threw rotten eggs at him! poor mel n jon were like so pissed n jon act suggested walking out..

mj was our hero btw!! the lecturer was talking abt singapore's health care white paper 1993 thing.. its sth like "even destitute persons who cannot afford to pay should not be deprived of basic health care" BUT "good up-to-date medical practice, but it will not provide the latest and best of everything" & "the treatment will be delivered w/o frills"
haha act looking at this i wanna laugh.. it sounds so damn singaporean.. so kiasu! like i promise i will gif u some treatment but i cant gif u the best coz u are not paying n since u are not paying i cant afford to gif u the best.. but his tone was so damn irritating!! he was practically ridiculing us!! like looking at us n asking us wat we as singaporeans thot of this "will not provide the latest n best of everything".. wth!! n mj raised his hand n told him tt if those destitutes came in for cosmetic surgery n stuff, how can we pay for them?? wah such a good point! didnt even think of it! we love u mj!!

ok finish ranting already.. haha.. i realise i haf v poor summary skills.. my bday pictures to end this post! cant wait for the weekends man! cant wait cant wait!!

check this cake out man!! gosh its the funkiest n yummiest cake i've ever seen! this is a present from amy jie2 n ah gim kor2 (cousin's cousin n gf).. basically they planned a surprise for me at 12 midnight n this cake was the cover up cake.. they thot i was v smart n will see thru their surprise plan so on 11 march after dinner n all, they brought me to buy this n pretended it was my bday cake!

dinner at a thai restaurant in the city.. the food was gd!!

the best caeser salad i ever had! its so damn damn good..

amy jie2 is so motherly lah! she cooked this for me on my bday tho she had so much work to do.. its like mee sua.. eating this on ur bday is supposed to gif u a longer life or sth lidat rite? ahaha

juz thot this was pretty cute haha..

2006-04-03T11:08:00.000+08:00

it was juz so weird tt day when some person from straits times emailed me n told me tt my blog will be featured in the papers.. haha.. like here i am juz talking gibberish n my nonsense gets featured??!! damn paiseh lah.. n i noe i got my stats wrong.. fyi, sg was never 8th for the commonwealth games.. was juz too lazy to correct it n now my damn embarrassing mistake is in this tues (28/3) copy of 'digital life' hhaha.. together wif ronald susilo's blog n dunno who else.. interesting.. got some ppl back home to keep a copy of the papers for me haha..
managed to get this off the net tho.. thanks to er-hem the ever so wonderful anne quek! hahaha.. anne u noe i'm lying!!

site visit yest was quite good.. got to take history from my 1st ever patient:) really admire her for being such a strong lady despite everything tt's happening at home.. u noe she started tearing at 1 pt i didnt noe wat to do! n i couldnt find tissue to offer her.. if in other context i might haf given her a hug or sth.. but i couldnt do tt lah..

i had to go to ulu-fied cranbourne, which is at the end of the line, for it but i think it was really worth the trouble.. the gp in charge of me was really nice.. n i was really lucky to get to see a shingles case.. its supposedly damn rare lah n even edwin hasnt seen 1 after like 4 yrs in med sch.. alrighty.. some pics i took yest! actually i still haf tonnes of pics to upload from the time in london, my bday etc etc.. shud get down to tt bit soon..

oh yes before i go, gotta talk abt this damn malu incident tt day lah.. it was like near campus centre den i was like excitedly telling mel sth so i juz swung my hands (in which i was holding an apple core) in the air.. n guess wat great thing happened??!! this jew guy juz walked straight in to my hand lah! like right smack in the face! oh man.. n my apple core flew out of my hand n landed nearby.. tt was how hard the impact was.. gosh.. damn damn paiseh leh.. wah lau.. n he looked quite pissed wif me lah.. luckily never like beat me up or sth..man man.. n like campus centre u can imgaine how many ppl were like walking arnd.. malu!!!!!!!

n last but not least, congrats to mdm loi huey phing for ur ROM!! a huge pity i couldnt be there to witness such a happy occasion but i'm really really really happy for u girl!! its been 5 yrs since OBS.. times flies man.. wishing u all the best in ur marriage n ur new life wif ur hubby n the in laws!!
