Jamie's down with a fever..40 over degrees..maybe i'll ask tian to drive me to SGH later to visit her with a flower..hope she's not too bad..how can she not reschedule her interviews..I was just joking with her on the phone about her not being admitted into KK, so that I can visit her every hour or sth haha.
Ok actually I don't have much to say about my interview..basically I felt bullied and did not come out of the room feeling good. Called celene immediately after that cos one of my interviewers was the dean A/Prof Tan, like celene's. Haiya I really don't know if they're convinced by me or not..They now think that I'm narrow-minded and inflexible and maybe even think that I did not do my homework for dentistry hence they're not allowing me in. It's so sad to think about how my interview went. There was one doctor who kept firing at me. I was like so vulnerable and made me tell them all that I have to say about why they should choose me. Till I'm convinced that they perhaps shouldn't choose me. See I'm confused myself. A/Prof Tan told me thank you and good luck at the end of the interview..that does GOOD LUCK mean?~!!! arghhh oh well. celene tried to calm me down but I took quite a while to cool down. Really don't know if they liked me or not..the lady dentist n A/Prof Tan were smiling nicely to me..though A/Prof Tan did challenge me with some questions. But like what baorong said it's inevitable..how can interviews be a breeze..if not how are they gonna choose 34 from 200. Told my mum about the interview when I got home that night. Somehow i think my mum thinks I'm not capable. She said my answers were wrong. Or rather she didn't think it's right. Sometimes I really wonder if she thinks I'm the daughter who perhaps can study hence is doing well, but actually no substance and only knows how to spend money. hai I really don't know what my parents think of me..now that my hair is red maybe my mum or dad really thinks i'm damn wild or havoc..sighhhh..but they should know me better than that..
To explain the short entries which have no endings, it's cos I have to return to my desk when my superior comes to office. And only her computer has internet access. So I have to stop blogging halfway. N now i'm continuing from where I stopped. A little weird but nvm.
Today my superior received a beautiful huge bouquet of 10 roses from her friends from Ritz Calton. Well her birthday's next tuesday and Ritz pple found out that it's her birthday so they sent their wishes!! I thought it's really sweet of them seriously, though it may be a marketing strategy to get the Society to hold our event at their hotel

I realised how much I enjoy doing my job at the Society. I came back to the office today after my dentistry interview (which i shall talk about later when i have the time), not dreading any bit of coming back to work. I'm so pleased..that i'm looking forward to know what happened at office in the morning and what work is installed for me today..everyday is different. I guess having to work here for 4 months does make a difference to me such that i'm really attached to this Society and I even would love to work till September but unfortunately I cannot. There's so much to look forward to working here..like ouncil meeting on the 12th, lunch at Ritx Calton on 6th, CME programme at Pine Tree Club on 25th..N there's gonna be some happenings at the Society in May..N we're going to Penang for the 15th Congress of the O&G Society of Malaysia. Well for May I foresee a lot of work to come but I'm excited about being occupied!!I shall get down to work now..

Red-Haired Girl
A little recap of what happened yesterday. Happily woke up at 9am and lazed around a little at home first before heading to tian's place to chill. Glad I could satisfy his desire of waking up to see his favourite girl beside him..heh he was still asleep when I reached his place and irritated him by brushing his hair and touching his face. He sleeps like a pig..if I was disturbed in my sleep i'd jump awake. haha anyway lazed around with him in the morning before heading to NUS faculty of Dentistry for the manual dexterity test. Went there very relaxed and excited to play with plasticine and wires. But things changed immediately when I got down to work. I started with the wires first which took me a little more than an hour. It is definitely not the wire used for braces or else I don't know how pple's mouth will look and feel like..anyway after that hour my whole left hand was numb and I was so damn tired I had to stop for a little rest before proceding to the 2nd hard task. Maybe the tool they provided was not strong enough or sth but I had experience of bending wires at home using my dad's tools and it was much easier! perhaps cos my dad's tools are bigger. Anyway 2nd task was to carve a 2.3cm by 2.3cm by 2.3cm cube out of a plaster cylinder. Thought that would be quite fun but soon realised that even after soaking the plaster in water for 3 minutes, it was still very hard and a lot of patience is required to carve the cubes using a tiny scapel. I think my dimensions were wrong because some part of the plaster split and came off the sides. 3rd and final task was to use plasticine to reproduce an arcylic tooth. Thought that would be the easiest task as all of us would have so much experience playing with plasticine in Primary school. But oh no..it didn't help that I did not cut my nails short before the test (really didn't think of it). The plsticine provided was rock hard!!wonder which lousy brand it is from..anyway I thought my tooth was badly done because there were cracks due to the stiff plasticine which I did not manage to smoothen out. but haha when we had to submit our 'artwork' I saw some pieces which were even more badly done..out of shape and totally did not look like a tooth. haha
so to conclude..interesting test..and I've learnt that you need strong arms and skill to become a dentist. I would require a lot of training on that. Some of the guys in my group finished an hour before me..meaning they finished when I still had one more task undone. I WAS LIKE "WAAHHHH" why are they so powerful..n their 'artwork' looked very decent to me. so pro.

There was the NUS medicine essay test today which went badly for me. understood the question and perhaps i could have some stuff to write but i wrote out of point and may not even be answering the question. argh what the hell nvm it's their loss if they don't want me. Don't care already. I just read wingyee's blog and totally agree on how unfair and upsetting the NUS system is. I know I'm short-listed so I should just shut up but I have friends whom I know have genuine interest in Medicine and have not stop trying to apply to nus med but NUS med doors remain closed to them. There's also nothing I can say or do to get them in. However I also recognise the fact that the admissions office wouldn't possible know who's genuinely interested and who's not so we can't blame them too. how how how..and i can't believe someone who put medicine as a third choice got shortlisted. ridiculous isn't it..it's so sian to think that i can't go to school with all my friends who are so keen in medicine and even possess qualities that will make them good doctors!! arghhh feel like going hongkong now.
on leave tml cos of the nus dentistry test and there'll be the demo show at toni's in the evening. i'll be wearing brown boots..supposed to have the punk look to match by "stylish hair" by the director. excuse me it's the director cut which costs over a hundred but i look like shit. look like a boy more like it. haiya nvm tian still loves me so it's fine. I have this bad feeling about the make-up they're going to give me tml..and i wonder what kind of clothes i'm supposed to wear tml..how would they know my size?~! i'm so lost la. That day when i went for the haircut, I saw 3 other models there..one of them have worse looking hair than mine haha and the colours are like waahhhhh..veyr bold. but anyway they all seem to know each other and know what they'll be in for on monday. I felt so left out and lost. The technician did not give me any other details except to wear boots. hope it won't be screwed up..guess I'll feel secure as long as tian's with me. He had to sit through my long haircut on Friday. Thanks darling..you know I needed you for assurance.
Had a nice Saturday with tian. Reported for work at Meritus Mandarin where there's a mandarin public forum going on, co-organised by my society hence as secretariats, my superior and I had to be there. We arrived there to realise there's nothing much for us to do except to take photos, rather pissed off initially cos we felt useless. haha but everything was fine after our big boss asked as along for lunch at Chatterbox!! my first time there so I had to try the famous chicken rice. Very nice indeed..n my love for chicken rice came back haha. i miss chicken rice now..sheesh anyway I made a move when the forum finally commenced. Met tian at his place and we went over to Roy's house to hang out. Played play station mainly and I felt rather left out initially. computer games are really not my cup of tea and i was so lost at this brick game that I really don't see the point of me joining in. Later was tennis game which was much better but I rather play a real game and sweat it out on the court of cos. haha anyway my mood was rather bad that afternoon because I was so conscious of my ugly hair and thought I looked like shit. Vented my anger at tian too but we made up in the end. Luckily for me he's always so tolerant..while i can be red-headed. I love him so much..don't know what i'll do without him.
Met his family for dinner at Straits Kitchen. My gosh the variety and quality of food was so good!! I enjoyed myself so much and my only regret is that i don't have a huge appetite or else i'd have gone for a bowl of laksa and plate of chicken rice.oh and more stingray and other food. sheesh can't wait to bring my family there for a treat if I get into medicine and pass my driving test. My family will definitely love the food there. A good dining experience really, there's practically everything there!! except western food of cos but I don't miss it at all because asian food is as good!! Met the whole crew of class 95fm who was there for some gathering or sth. I wonder who's on air then. Jean Danker, V. Lopez, Mark Richmond, Glenn Ong, Rod Monteiro and the wheel of fortune guy..plus some other pple whom I don't know..all there looking so good!! Glenn Ong is rather big-sized you know..quire surprising..the girls of cos look very good. My highlight of the night was at the dessert corner when Mark Richmond spoke to me. hahahah I was quite shocked myself..you see..I was wondering which syrup goes with the almond pudding and he saw me hesitating hence told me it's either the sugar or honey syrup. I did not know it's him standing behind me but was pleasantly surprised and smitten by his nice voice. haha at the same time tian told me that it's the sugar syrup. quite embarrassing but I was so happy! He's really very cute and charming ok..beatrice chia is one lucky woman. haha was so tempted to go up to him for a picture but hello the whole crew is there..n i'm with tian's family. haha Guess what tian said when I got so excited over Mark Richmond. "I know why you're so excited, because it's hard to find another guy who is as cute as me." HAHAHHHA he always makes me laugh..love him to bits.
After dinner we joined his friends for movie at cine. Because there's only first-row seats left for S-Diary, we had to settle with Shikoku. Hahaha a waste of money and fake-scary show. nothing much to say about it except that it's rare to see people kissing and making-out in a Japanese horror show. Weird. but I had fun watching it. Reached home really late last night.
Time for dinner. I'm missing shopping this weekend. No clothes to wear!! N jamie do take care..horrible ricky who left her at home all alone while she's down with a fever and can't see somemore. I promise to meet up with you girls next week or the week after ok. Hey michelle..if jega's free everyday like tian you'd be meeting him very often too..i'm sorry for being tied up.
Oh I finally got a new tuition assignment!! see..now 2 of my days are occupied but I have scheduled one tuition day on tuesday evening which is the same day as mich's so that our schedules won't clash!! it's a pri 5 girl..good rates so I did not have to bargin at all and did not mind the bus ride to her condo. Think i'm going to miss life without any tuition assignments (I'm really enjoying my free evenings now) but nvm it's time to work hard again.
You know..the month is coming to an end again. How fast!! Can't wait for another pay cheque..May's an exciting month and I'm certainly looking forward to it. Can't believe school's going to start soon. I actually enjoy working life..and life without studying..oh no..somehow i really dread school now..especially medicine which involves pure mugging for 5 years. I'm going to have no life..my hair's going to turn white and i'll look old and boring. argh nvm shall not think too much..let's see how things go, and what I need to do now is enjoy every single minute of my life.

This week's secretary's week and i'm going for a buffet lunch today at Sheraton Towers!! all thanks to my new big boss heh so nice to include me..this small fry..Anyway lunch at Sheraton's was great..there were fresh crayfish and prawns and the sashimi was damn good!! too bad i'm not crazy about sashimi..tian or jamie would have gone for 5 helpings or sth. Sheraton prepared this gift for all the girls there too but it's nothing much..some aromatherapy stuff and a mug..disappointing haha but it's the thought that counts. Anyway they have to prepare sth that looks impressive and big cos we always give them business. Well it was just a little weird dining with 7 other secretariats who are all married and have at least one kid. So they're mainly talking about their children and what food to eat and oh breastfeeding. haha my big boss and i just remained quiet. blah. good food though and that will do. I always wonder why restaurants always serve coffee/tea before or with dessert..is there a reason or to flush out the taste of the main course to prepare for dessert? suddenly thought about this cos i always waste the tea..just drinking a few sips for the taste that's all. hmm.

ok..i'm going for a haircut (short) tml by this toni&guy director called david..haha i'm very excited cos it's a haircut which will cost $110 - $200!! like hello..the most expensive haircut i'll ever get in my whole life or sth..hair colour is scheduled on Monday at a demostration for about 20 pple..it'll be shade of red cos that's the colour for this season (so the technician said - i couldn't choose brown). Yeap..anyway the colour will only be on my hair for perhaps 3 days and i made the guy promise to tone it down to my original colour by thursday, just in time for my dentistry interview. Can it be done i don't know..i'm like a goon-doo at hair colouring..but the guy said yes and made me feel so ulu..hi i've virgin hair of cos i know nuts about hair colour..sigh hope i'll get back my natural browns!!
Oh!!damn irritating..i'm only blogging now cos channel 5 is airing eye for a guy 2 today and amazing race is starting at 10.50pm!!! that's like so damn late and i'll have to sleep too and what am i gonna do till 10.50!! thank god tian's here to keep me company..and i guess there's no harm watching a trashy show haha. can't they air eye for a guy another day!! wednesday's like fully booked!! now there's joey on thursday..haha can't wait to start laughing..miss Friends a lot. And today tian n i managed to run 2 rounds aroung the jurong park successfully. haha it may be less than 2.4km but i'm so contented. I could not even move my butt before we started our weekly wednesday run. so happy!! can feel that my stamina is improving slowly..maybe next week will be 2.5 rounds and it'll increase slowly. Love Wednesdays with tian at my place.

Hi Wednesday!! which means half of the week is soon over!! anyway superior is coming into office late today which means i have a little time to blog haha.slacker. anyway i finish my work so fast ao no harm slacking for a while. Anyway to continue from last night..well this guy..the 'teacher' of jocyn asked me to go down to toni's today for a casting. They need models for a photoshoot, but that photoshoot comes with a haircut(which i really want) and most probably a hair colour (which i'm really not prepared for). So ya..I don't see the harm of going down to see what they can do to my shapeless hair but i know i'm most probably gonna say no if they wanna use me. Medicine and dentistry interviews are around the corner and i really don't wanna lose my natural brownish hair..haiya but i want a toni haircut!!so wasted..but i guess i'm rather happy that he chose me despite me having no make-up or whatsoever on and my lips were so chapped too but didn't have time to put on lip balm before going there. shall see how today's casting go..oh and I told tian to come along with me as my 'manager' HAHA well he doesn't want me to change my hair in any way..so i guess i better bring him down to help me make decisions. I tend to be rash when good offers are placed before me.

My Virgin Toni & Guy Experience
haha today was so cool..ok woke up slightly late for work and was hesitating to go to work (of course i did not have a choice). While alone in the MRT train on the long ride to Bugis MRT station, it's always the time I think about life and stuff and today all i was thinking about was "I don't want to go to work..i'm so sleepy i wanna sleep more. If I did not have a job like tian i'd still be in bed!!" oh well..but things were better when i reached office..somehow my desire to work came back and yeap after one day of leave, there was quite a bit of things to catch up on and i'm gald my superior started on the spring cleaning of the office (which we were instructed to complete in 2 weeks time by my big boss). So today was mainly typing of more letters and we cleared the office quite a bit! Now it doesn't really look like a warehouse anymore haha it's so much neater and cleaner and more like an office place!
Anyway after work today I went down to Toni&Guy at robinson road for a hair treatment. This is the story of my 1st step into Toni&Guy. My sister's friend has a boyfriend who went to Toni&Guy as a model for the young trainees. By young trainees i mean girls who are training to be a professional hair stylist at Toni&Guy. These trainees have their trainings on Monday and Tuesday evenings, and at every training, each of them require a model for them to work on and practise! As we all know practise makes perfect!! so..one of the trainees named Jocyn needed models but had difficulty finding pple. So my sister's friend asked my sis and she asked me to go for it since i'm available in the evenings and don't have homework to rush by the next day!
So I went down to meet Jocyn, who's 19 like myself, and has been with Toni&Guy for only a month. Right now she's learning how to do hair treatment, sectioning of hair n stuff for pple so I offered my hair! haha I was there from 6.45pm to 9pm. It's so long cos it's like a lesson for her so a 'teacher' will be guiding her along the way and would stop her to point out what is right or wrong with what she has done. Luckily I have a lot of patience and had the company of magazines so I wasn't bored at all. Also it is interesting to listen to how professional the 'teacher' sounds while he examined my hair and told me exactly how the previous hairstylist cut my hair (he was spot-on). Also he said this is not a toni&guy haircut cos blah blah blah..pointed out all the bad things about my previous haircut, said i must be tempted to rebond my hair (spot-on again) and said i have bad hair day very often (sheesh i was so embarrassed at this point of time). But it was interesting to listen to how good and professional the people at toni&guy are..I guess the level of professionalism gotta match the exorbitant prices of haircuts of cos. Oh yea he also taught Jocyn how to identify "virgin hair", refering to un-dyed hair. haha should be quite easy la. anyway the treatment is some moisturising thingy for the hair. that's about all..nothing much to us but a long lesson for Jocyn.
So..as i have mentioned, Jocyn required models for her future lessons. She needs one next monday at 6.45 pm for the same treatment I had and she requires shoulder-length hair. I'm gonna approach both michelles and see who's willing and available but anyone who's interested just leave me a message. Be prepared to spend 3 hours there ok. Must be patient too and remember she's a trainee. Also can't back out last minute cos it'll be unfair to her ok. She's quite new at toni&guy (one month only) so don't expect too much. She's very gentle and nice though..it's actually a fun and interesting experience. I can't wait to go back again for another free treatment!! (if she needs me)
Something else happened at Toni&Guy too..shall continue later..leaving tian's place soon..it's late.

As we all know practise makes perfect!! so..one of the trainees named Jocyn needed models but had difficulty finding pple. So my sister's friend asked my sis and she asked me to go for it since i'm available in the evenings and don't have homework to rush by the next day!
So I went down to meet Jocyn, who's 19 like myself, and has been with Toni&Guy for only a month. Right now she's learning how to do hair treatment, sectioning of hair n stuff for pple so I offered my hair! haha I was there from 6.45pm to 9pm. It's so long cos it's like a lesson for her so a 'teacher' will be guiding her along the way and would stop her to point out what is right or wrong with what she has done. Luckily I have a lot of patience and had the company of magazines so I wasn't bored at all. Also it is interesting to listen to how professional the 'teacher' sounds while he examined my hair and told me exactly how the previous hairstylist cut my hair (he was spot-on). Also he said this is not a toni&guy haircut cos blah blah blah..pointed out all the bad things about my previous haircut, said i must be tempted to rebond my hair (spot-on again) and said i have bad hair day very often (sheesh i was so embarrassed at this point of time). But it was interesting to listen to how good and professional the people at toni&guy are..I guess the level of professionalism gotta match the exorbitant prices of haircuts of cos. Oh yea he also taught Jocyn how to identify "virgin hair", refering to un-dyed hair. haha should be quite easy la. anyway the treatment is some moisturising thingy for the hair. that's about all..nothing much to us but a long lesson for Jocyn.
So..as i have mentioned, Jocyn required models for her future lessons. She needs one next monday at 6.45 pm for the same treatment I had and she requires shoulder-length hair. I'm gonna approach both michelles and see who's willing and available but anyone who's interested just leave me a message. Be prepared to spend 3 hours there ok. Must be patient too and remember she's a trainee. Also can't back out last minute cos it'll be unfair to her ok. She's quite new at toni&guy (one month only) so don't expect too much. She's very gentle and nice though..it's actually a fun and interesting experience. I can't wait to go back again for another free treatment!! (if she needs me)
Something else happened at Toni&Guy too..shall continue later..leaving tian's place soon..it's late.

Today's a nice and happy day. Digested some newspapers in the morning before meeting tian in the afternoon. We window-shopped a little at isetan scotts before watching Guess Who at lido. The show was a little boring at the beginning..more like a tv show but slowly it got much better..funnier and had a great sweet and romantic ending. Ashton Kutcher is of course very cute and the pink stripped shirt he wore in the movie is so similiar to one i saw in Guess that day..wonder if tian will look good in it too..i'll definitely wanna get it for him. Anyway one important thing guys should bring home from the movie is that "Girls are always right." If you love her, then forget about what male ego or dignity..we want 33 missed calls..n we want to know how important we are to you..that's all really. Sometimes what we want is the opposite of what we say. for example..when shopping..when i say "that is so pretty but sigh it's not worth the money and i really don't need it so forget it, let's go" means "sheesh if only he'd get it for me..i have to get it and i know i won't stop thinking about it." haha not all the time but sometimes la.
Anyway tml will be an exciting day in jb!! oh man i can't believe i'm doing this instead of going to work!! that's terrible of me! but since i'm going to work till university starts..i gotta take such breaks to really enjoy this period of time before hell=uni starts. My sister couldn't believe it too..that while she's studying in school tml i'll be go-karting in jb!! not singapore!!haha i was laughing with her too..n surprisingly i did not receive any strogn protests from my mother except the shock that i applied for leave so easily. hmm but i can't do this anymore till maybe june..there's so much work for me to do in office now and i feel bad going missing for one day. I know my superior can't do without me cos she makes me do almost everything including her own income tax and cpf!!i really don't know why she can't do it herself cos it's simple filling up of form but oh well, it's good for me to learn too.
some recap of yesterday..
My class gathering at Rice Table..the guys look all the same with the same crew cut..all round heads. The girls are of course looking prettier than ever, all either happily working with rather different jobs..or doing internships. Brenda shall organise another gathering in May!! we're missing jen, mogilan n sarah who couldn't make it last min.
Pam and I!!That girl even works on saturdays on voluntary basis..tsk..hope she gets her MOE scholarship which allows her to fly to an overseas uni!! she has received offers and it'll be so wasted not to go. Anyway we shall meet for tea latte at coffee bean soon again!!
That's us again just before parting. Got chased away by security guard while sitting around in Wheelock place..third floor. We're talking softly and just sitting together!! seriously I don't see anything wrong or illegal with that..anyway we also enjoyed very good oreo earthquake from dairy queen thanks to Daniel..hope i'll see the class again soon..

I'm finally home..today started with driving lesson at bbdc which i was 15 minutes late for..terrible you know..took cab from bukit gombak somemore and wasted $2.50..2.50 is still money..anyway i managed to book my practical test finally which will be on 19 May in the afternoon..that's like more than one month away and i'm most probably gonna book only 2 revision lessons cos it's so ex..sheesh one month 2 lessons..hope i won't forget the important stuff..quite worried i'll fail actually.i've heard quite a few failures already..witnessed one today too. haha this guy was doing vertical parking(damn easy)n i think he was so damn nervous he striked curb..so poor thing!! 10 points gone like that..not fated..he even got a tester whom my instructor said is very kind. Hope i'll get a kind tester too..pls pls pls..
Slacked a while at tian's place first before he sent me to orchard, we were sleeping most of the time..lazing around is so good..haha anyway I finally got to meet the class again for dinner this time at Rice Table, International Building. Surprising how small guys' appetites are when it comes to buffet..andrew fang was the only one who went for third, fourth round. we ordered too much food in the end n were struggling to finish up cos we felt so bad. Hope everyone enjoyed the food..quite a few pple did not turn up in the end..tracy..sarah n jen..but well we managed to do a lot of catching up..found out what the guys are doing now in army..n got to know the uni prospects of the class..only confirmed one i guess right now is tse yang who's heading for yale no matter what haha. I foresee a lot of doctors in my class and i really hope my class will turn out to be like tian's class with about 15 doctors!! that's like wwwoooowww. Didn't really know what to say to those who did not get the letter of shortlisting by nus med..everyone's talking about medicine n overseas uni and they're still so brave, smiling with everyone else. What pam said is true..our career or future is not determined by our passion for sth but by the government. haha where's our free will..seriously we have none. I really think that our path is already planned out for us..we're just waiting for it to reveal itself as time goes by. Tse yang said it's so boring that most of us are going to be doctors. haha i agree..but that's how it is. that's why we're called med fac..that's the choice some of us are influenced to make..that's the area some of us have grown to be interested in.
I hope my friends who could not be shortlisted into medicine have an alternative road paved out for them..I hope that they are able to accept this alternative route and be brave to overcome all unhappiness and challenges that they may face along the way. I hope i'd remember to tell myself this if nus med doesn't want me..i hope i wouldn't have to. if only no one has to..
Ms Teh and her boyfriend made a special appearance after dinner to say hi. Poor Ms Teh is so busy with school and still has to write so many reference letters for us..good that she has her boyfriend to shower her with tender loving care..haha they're like the perfect match you know..they look alike..same body size..both good looking and i believe they share the same interests and have strong faiths too..I was just telling tian i can't wait to attend her wedding. I'm so thankful and glad that i've got a young and kind civic tutor whom I can talk to and also my whole class is very comfortable with her. We were so caught up talking that we forgot to take pictures!! sheesh but nvm there're always more chances to come. I'm so glad i got to talk to everyone again!! our lifes are just so happening and different now!
Really wanted to attend Jen's baptism tml at her Church but painfully decided not to because i'm supposed to have lunch with my family and tian..so sorry jen. What an important day for her and i bet she's so excited!!
Shall head for bed now..50 mins past my bed time haha May tomorrow be a happy day!

Aiyo stop it..i won't sure get in by relations..maybe you guys don't know doctors (older ones that is) enough..they won't bother to mention names..they're impartial and rather by the law (right celene?)..no pulling strings or anything like that..my big boss will be interviewer for only 2 sessions out of like more than 10 days of interview hahah i don't think i'll by lucky enough to meet him.
Today's a great day at work. Perhaps the first time I am excited for work because after yesterday evening's intensive Council Meeting, there're a lot of things to follow up and knowing that I'll be kept busy today is just great. I attended a media conference too in the afternoon n guess what!! I met yvoone again!!2nd time bumping into her at work!! well, she's with MediaCorp now as an intern..her pay is ridiculously low..well..lets just say she's not paid..only given lunch money. Anyway she was representing Channel News Asia to interview 3 doctors from the Society..so i got to watch her work haha. Nothing much..it's a small scale media conference about concerns of pregnant women and also to publicise a public forum..but nice meeting her there!! we chatted quite a bit..got to know her senior who was from Hwa Chong too! quite pretty heh. Oh my superior was telling me one of the ladies from Hill & Knowlton (in charge of the press conference) is a trans. I was like are yu sureee..on closer look yea broad shoulders and weirdly shaped eye brows and low voice but no adam's apple..n voice not really very low..long slim legs..oh very tall..hmmm..i'm really suspecting she was a he..but wow it's a very good sex change job i must say..she look totally female seriously..speaks well too. Her colleague, Fiona, was previously the Australia's health minister's personal advisor!! was it john HowarD i don't know..heard her mentioning but oh well..she had such a high-ranking job for 5 years before she moved to Singapore!! don't know how she can accept the change but it's really drastic to me..
Tian's coming to pick me up later..hmm finally for once..anyway I can't wait to see him and I've a big project coming up..that is to revamp my office!!! a seriously tough job but I can't wait to start!! I love cleaning up yu know..n rearranging stuff till everything is neat and pretty..but it has to benefit me of course haha
Oh yes baorong..doctors are poor people until they turn 40..of course clothes don't have to be so branded what haha but my personal aim is to save money for a big car, SUV perhaps but I prefer a big BMW or lexus haha most importantly to fit my whole family in so that I can drive them around to places..haha my aim is 28 years old..think I can reach it? now i'm 19, after 5 years of medical school will make me 24, after 4 years of work at hospitals should have earned enough money to afford a car? hmm maybe not..still need to pay for post grad education and whatever else..oh n gotta get married!!! haiya i shall remain poor forever..the answer to my poverty is perhaps a rich prince charming haha. tian's gonna be poor too..oh sheeshhhhhh
did I mention that one of my career dreams is to be an air stewardess? that was ever since secondary school or primary school i think..haha n a very friendly doctor whom celene n i got to know told me that air stewardesses actually can earn double that of doctors..how sad is that haha but of course a career is not all about money, though to me it has to be 40% money..i have to be practical here n not in self denial. nvm to know that pple like celene baorong michelle yvonne clarabelle..and many more are my potential classmates..i can't wait for them to accept me.
Shall stop talking about medicine. so boring. this is to jamie: thank you so much for the offer on your blog though you used the word "maybe"!! haha i noticed it anyway I want a blush..just realised how vulnerable I was yesterday without my blush with me. well when you have pale skin like me..a blush is so damn important cos it adds so much colour to a face like mine!! so that I won't look like a ghost that is. An advance thanks to you woman..doubt i'll get anything much though. not really a make-up fanatic cos i've no money.
Embrace the weekend!!!!!

Thursday, April 14, 2005
Sheesh I don't even know where to start from..today's the most happening day of my life..ok actually it's not..just that I worked Overtime today and in the midst of work, I received a message from baorong (thanks!! if not i would not have known)abt her medicine letter and interview on the 9 May. wAHHHH thanks but no thanks for the information actually..I got so excited that I called home immediately and once my sister told me there's indeed a letter from NUS i knew I got it too. haha interview on 5th May..mich's earliest at 3rd..celene's 4th..AAaAHahAHhaHAhahAHah I was so damn freaked out n nervous after that I was practically prancing around the room!!! can't believe my life would be so damn exciting and nerve-wreaking for the next few weeks to come..I can say i was prepared but suddenly unprepared all over again.
Just early that evening, on our way to Republic Plaza with my big boss and superior (overtime), Dr Tay (big boss) was asking me if I can work for the Society till September n said beginning of uni is always orientation so it's not tt important n i can come to work. hahah then he found out that I applied for Medicine n started laughing out loud cos he was invited to be in the interview panal for Faculty of Medicine.. (JUST GREAT) But of course, as the chairman, medical board of KKH, he meets the dean like every week. I really hope I don't meet him at the interviews or else i'll just freak out n pee in my pants!!! gosh my heart just started beating so damn fast after that while sitting comfortably in his lexus!!And when we were driving through raffles place (we were lost..that place is unbelieveable n there're so many buildings!!), well it was the evening and raffles place was crowded with office people heading for home..he asked me "jess, are you sure you don't want to be like them..living office life. you get to dress up nicely to work and work in nice, tall buildings..unlike me who practically works 15 hours a day or more.." It's true that it's so nice working in Raffles Place don't you think? like those executives who earn big bucks and wear branded stuff to work and go for lunch at fancy restaurants in CBD area..haha but somehow I think i'll be bored in the office environment eventually and I plan to dress up nicely to work when I become a doctor next time..will invest in tons of pretty coats and bags to bring to work!! So what if you're working in a hospital..you should still look good and be presentable so that pple knows you care about yourself and that you're serious about your job!! - sth alone that line..inspired by Miss Congeniality 2..
Haha I'm so excited now I'm typing furiously and won't even stop to tlak to my parents who are just got home from work not long ago and are asking me one by one about my NUS letter..told them I'll wait till i cool down n talk to them tml..haha
Anyway I just got home from a great evening of Council meeting n dinner at the Tower Club, Republic Plaza. What an exclusive and beautiful club..such strict rules on attire and noise and my gosh the view of Singapore (though small) from the 64nd floor of Republic Plaza (which is the Straits Bar) is breath-taking. I must have looked stupid go-gaaing over the view and taking pictures of it cos nothing will turn out in the pictures actually..Anyway we had a smooth and engaging meeting which was intensive and ended rather late..eating into dinner time. It was then followed by a short presentation by Abbott n dinner treat. Food was good..not fantastic though..foie gras was very good..but the fish following it was only alright. We had a fine selection of wine from one of the doctors..only tried three out of the five though. I still don't enjoy red wine..burns my throat but white wine on the other hand is so pleasingly sweet n i love it totally..tried Cloudy Bay from Australia and this Sweet White from France. Cloudy Bay was very good..one of the doctors even sent me a sms to tell me to try Cloudy Bay cos it's known to be good. hahah i'm so into white wine. don't really care where it's from or what year though..doesn't really matter..don't know what's the fuss but haha the doctors are just trying to be pro..
Such is the interaction and exposure I get from my work..and I'm really starting to appreciate my job and simply enjoying it. I get to meet many doctors (O&Gs only to be exact) and enjoy every chance to converse with them and to introduce myself. A young doctor even asked me for my number and invited me to Zouk with him but obviously I rejected him because of my fear of clubbing haha. So much interaction with them only bring me closer to my dream to become a doctor..my big boss came to talk to me for a short while during dinner n said wow it's good that i'm drinking wine cos that's part of doctors' lifestyle!! At every meeting and gathering wine is essential or else no one will be happy haha..n only thing that I need to do now to prepare myself for a career as a doctor is to learn at least 2 dialects. I'm trying to motivate myself to learn now but it's seriously so damn hard!! it's like learning ABC n i felt so silly just learning 123 in Cantonese..rather ridiculous but few doctors who found out I'm dialect illiterate urged me to start learning now because speaking to patients in dialect will bring them closer to the doctor emotionally and they'll feel more comforted. HAHAH though by the time I actually see patients, most of them would be well versed in English..it's no harm learning. ARGGGHHHHH
I'm more cooled down now..haha sometimes I feel very sad when I read blogs like celene's and wingyee's and of course baorong's. They write with good english and use words like "conglomeration of sinking feelings"..which I'm seeing for the first time.Like wow what nice words to describe the feelings which I had also when I received the dentistry letter before the medicine one. haha my blogging is so messy and never in proper english because my thoughts just run wild when I blog and I'd forget about proper sentence structure somehow!! I need to learn to write in proper English. Doctors should never write like I do. Oh did I mention that my handwriting is deteriorating..yes becoming like doctors' writings but I seriously think that doctors should have legible handwritings too like everyone else should!! It's really painful to try to make out what some doctors write sometimes..thankfully my handwriting is messy in a stylish way now so it's acceptable haha..at least to my own standards..
Random stuff now..I recently restarted reading my monthly Cleo..actually I only bought this month's issue after not reading cleo for perhaps 4 months (trying to save money). Rekindled my passion for reading fashion magazines and took quite some time to digest the mag. Well it's quite a handful with the 100 beauty tips which I disobey quite a few..then article on spa and some pages on fabulous clothes from Ms Sixty. Visited the boutique recently and was so attracted to this pair of capri jeans (of course inspired by boon seer's AX pair) but hello was so damn shocked at the beautiful $300 price tag such that I grabbed tian's hand and stepped out of the shop immediately. Can't let myself stay in the boutique any longer or else I'll fall in love with the clothes there n be sad that I can't buy them my whole life. Anyway I'm falling in love with Ralph Lauren fragrances..can't get enough of Romance (n thank god tian got it for me) and now there's Ralph Cool and then the new Lauren Style..damn stylish bottle k. Have not tried the fragrance yet but I'm secretly hoping I won't ever try it so that I will not desire for another fragrance..haha I can't get a new one till next May because I should not splurge on such items (when 1 is sufficient..but I have 2- other pple have much more but comparing will do me no good). Oh well in summary, reading Cleo is sinful because it makes you see beautiful things and makes you want to own them = spend more money = NO GOOD.
Oh there're a few pages on extreme make-over..haha quite interesting but why didn't they ask me to be the sacrificial lamb for the procedures haha. would love to try teeth whitening..just that it's so damn ex n not permanent of course. Looking at the amount of chocolate I consume..my white teeth will soon become yellow again. And yes the IPL haha i would say a pain factor of 8/10 ok..it's damn painful!! starts with low light intensity which is nothing much and soon goes up to high intensity which is not like an ant bite at all!! it's freaking painful..as in acute pain but sheesh if only i can make loud noises but I'm too embarassed to whine because it is a nice quiet place where there're pple next door doing spa treatment n stuff..haiz all in the name of beauty..but excess hair is really a pain in the butt..seriously..arghhh why did we evolve from primates..unsightly hair here n there n everywhere..
ok time to call tian before bed..i'm gonna regret this tml when I get up for work..1.10am!! this is no good..but it's been a long time since I have so much to say..n i'm still rather hyper. TML'S FRIDAY!!!!!!! like michelle..i simply can't wait for the weekends..guess everyone's like that when you start working..we simply love fridays. Sometimes working is all about counting down to Wednesday (half week gone..)then thursday..(cos tomorrow is Friday..)then Friday comes n we rejoice..haha oh well..i'm happily earning money now and loving my weekend mornings without any tuition to worry about..(YES i'm actually very happy) haha not even bothering to find one and agencies have been calling me up for assignments in bukit batok and choa chu kang..jurong east..too far la..i'm not really in the mood too.
just wanna say hi to my babes..hi baorong!! baoxin!! n mich who finally said hi to the pple who asked about her chicken pox!!oh wingyee & celene too!! hope everyone's doing fine..love you lots and I can't wait to see you guys soon at NUS or anywhere else for gathering..good night now!!!
Just early that evening, on our way to Republic Plaza with my big boss and superior (overtime), Dr Tay (big boss) was asking me if I can work for the Society till September n said beginning of uni is always orientation so it's not tt important n i can come to work. hahah then he found out that I applied for Medicine n started laughing out loud cos he was invited to be in the interview panal for Faculty of Medicine.. (JUST GREAT) But of course, as the chairman, medical board of KKH, he meets the dean like every week. I really hope I don't meet him at the interviews or else i'll just freak out n pee in my pants!!! gosh my heart just started beating so damn fast after that while sitting comfortably in his lexus!!And when we were driving through raffles place (we were lost..that place is unbelieveable n there're so many buildings!!), well it was the evening and raffles place was crowded with office people heading for home..he asked me "jess, are you sure you don't want to be like them..living office life. you get to dress up nicely to work and work in nice, tall buildings..unlike me who practically works 15 hours a day or more.." It's true that it's so nice working in Raffles Place don't you think? like those executives who earn big bucks and wear branded stuff to work and go for lunch at fancy restaurants in CBD area..haha but somehow I think i'll be bored in the office environment eventually and I plan to dress up nicely to work when I become a doctor next time..will invest in tons of pretty coats and bags to bring to work!! So what if you're working in a hospital..you should still look good and be presentable so that pple knows you care about yourself and that you're serious about your job!! - sth alone that line..inspired by Miss Congeniality 2..
Haha I'm so excited now I'm typing furiously and won't even stop to tlak to my parents who are just got home from work not long ago and are asking me one by one about my NUS letter..told them I'll wait till i cool down n talk to them tml..haha
Anyway I just got home from a great evening of Council meeting n dinner at the Tower Club, Republic Plaza. What an exclusive and beautiful club..such strict rules on attire and noise and my gosh the view of Singapore (though small) from the 64nd floor of Republic Plaza (which is the Straits Bar) is breath-taking. I must have looked stupid go-gaaing over the view and taking pictures of it cos nothing will turn out in the pictures actually..Anyway we had a smooth and engaging meeting which was intensive and ended rather late..eating into dinner time. It was then followed by a short presentation by Abbott n dinner treat. Food was good..not fantastic though..foie gras was very good..but the fish following it was only alright. We had a fine selection of wine from one of the doctors..only tried three out of the five though. I still don't enjoy red wine..burns my throat but white wine on the other hand is so pleasingly sweet n i love it totally..tried Cloudy Bay from Australia and this Sweet White from France. Cloudy Bay was very good..one of the doctors even sent me a sms to tell me to try Cloudy Bay cos it's known to be good. hahah i'm so into white wine. don't really care where it's from or what year though..doesn't really matter..don't know what's the fuss but haha the doctors are just trying to be pro..
Such is the interaction and exposure I get from my work..and I'm really starting to appreciate my job and simply enjoying it. I get to meet many doctors (O&Gs only to be exact) and enjoy every chance to converse with them and to introduce myself. A young doctor even asked me for my number and invited me to Zouk with him but obviously I rejected him because of my fear of clubbing haha. So much interaction with them only bring me closer to my dream to become a doctor..my big boss came to talk to me for a short while during dinner n said wow it's good that i'm drinking wine cos that's part of doctors' lifestyle!! At every meeting and gathering wine is essential or else no one will be happy haha..n only thing that I need to do now to prepare myself for a career as a doctor is to learn at least 2 dialects. I'm trying to motivate myself to learn now but it's seriously so damn hard!! it's like learning ABC n i felt so silly just learning 123 in Cantonese..rather ridiculous but few doctors who found out I'm dialect illiterate urged me to start learning now because speaking to patients in dialect will bring them closer to the doctor emotionally and they'll feel more comforted. HAHAH though by the time I actually see patients, most of them would be well versed in English..it's no harm learning. ARGGGHHHHH
I'm more cooled down now..haha sometimes I feel very sad when I read blogs like celene's and wingyee's and of course baorong's. They write with good english and use words like "conglomeration of sinking feelings"..which I'm seeing for the first time.Like wow what nice words to describe the feelings which I had also when I received the dentistry letter before the medicine one. haha my blogging is so messy and never in proper english because my thoughts just run wild when I blog and I'd forget about proper sentence structure somehow!! I need to learn to write in proper English. Doctors should never write like I do. Oh did I mention that my handwriting is deteriorating..yes becoming like doctors' writings but I seriously think that doctors should have legible handwritings too like everyone else should!! It's really painful to try to make out what some doctors write sometimes..thankfully my handwriting is messy in a stylish way now so it's acceptable haha..at least to my own standards..
Random stuff now..I recently restarted reading my monthly Cleo..actually I only bought this month's issue after not reading cleo for perhaps 4 months (trying to save money). Rekindled my passion for reading fashion magazines and took quite some time to digest the mag. Well it's quite a handful with the 100 beauty tips which I disobey quite a few..then article on spa and some pages on fabulous clothes from Ms Sixty. Visited the boutique recently and was so attracted to this pair of capri jeans (of course inspired by boon seer's AX pair) but hello was so damn shocked at the beautiful $300 price tag such that I grabbed tian's hand and stepped out of the shop immediately. Can't let myself stay in the boutique any longer or else I'll fall in love with the clothes there n be sad that I can't buy them my whole life. Anyway I'm falling in love with Ralph Lauren fragrances..can't get enough of Romance (n thank god tian got it for me) and now there's Ralph Cool and then the new Lauren Style..damn stylish bottle k. Have not tried the fragrance yet but I'm secretly hoping I won't ever try it so that I will not desire for another fragrance..haha I can't get a new one till next May because I should not splurge on such items (when 1 is sufficient..but I have 2- other pple have much more but comparing will do me no good). Oh well in summary, reading Cleo is sinful because it makes you see beautiful things and makes you want to own them = spend more money = NO GOOD.
Oh there're a few pages on extreme make-over..haha quite interesting but why didn't they ask me to be the sacrificial lamb for the procedures haha. would love to try teeth whitening..just that it's so damn ex n not permanent of course. Looking at the amount of chocolate I consume..my white teeth will soon become yellow again. And yes the IPL haha i would say a pain factor of 8/10 ok..it's damn painful!! starts with low light intensity which is nothing much and soon goes up to high intensity which is not like an ant bite at all!! it's freaking painful..as in acute pain but sheesh if only i can make loud noises but I'm too embarassed to whine because it is a nice quiet place where there're pple next door doing spa treatment n stuff..haiz all in the name of beauty..but excess hair is really a pain in the butt..seriously..arghhh why did we evolve from primates..unsightly hair here n there n everywhere..
ok time to call tian before bed..i'm gonna regret this tml when I get up for work..1.10am!! this is no good..but it's been a long time since I have so much to say..n i'm still rather hyper. TML'S FRIDAY!!!!!!! like michelle..i simply can't wait for the weekends..guess everyone's like that when you start working..we simply love fridays. Sometimes working is all about counting down to Wednesday (half week gone..)then thursday..(cos tomorrow is Friday..)then Friday comes n we rejoice..haha oh well..i'm happily earning money now and loving my weekend mornings without any tuition to worry about..(YES i'm actually very happy) haha not even bothering to find one and agencies have been calling me up for assignments in bukit batok and choa chu kang..jurong east..too far la..i'm not really in the mood too.
just wanna say hi to my babes..hi baorong!! baoxin!! n mich who finally said hi to the pple who asked about her chicken pox!!oh wingyee & celene too!! hope everyone's doing fine..love you lots and I can't wait to see you guys soon at NUS or anywhere else for gathering..good night now!!!
Ok..i've received a letter from NUS faculty of dentistry, so the medicine letter should be coming in any time soon. Was screaming and jumping around when i saw that brown envelope among the pile of letters when my dad came home from work. Haha but i forgot that dentistry requires an interview too n was quite disappointed to find out that it's not from nus med. then I started panicking cos what am i suppose to say at the interview!! it's my second choice!!n i gotta find out more abt dentistry..never even sit in for any talks from NUS dentistry at the open house. But I figured i'm gonna tell them the truth that my passion is in medicine and dentistry is the closest

haha some time to blog again..nothing much to do now..always feel bad when superior is doing stuff but i have nothing to do..yet other times especially yesterday, I was so damn tired but had endless things to do for her..it's like every 3 minutes.."jess..do this n that"..wah really couldn't take it yesterday, haven't even finish one thing and the next one comes along..but maybe it's cos i was tired..haha went straight into bed immediately when i got home yesterday..slept till 9 pm and woken up by my dad n brother who insisted on me having dinner n his health drink. hAHA i could have slept till the next morning. Though I did not get to meet tian yesterday, I was glad for the rest n managed to catch up on a little cross-stitching..today tian's coming over for our every-wednesday-evening jog..haha a thing which we started few weeks back but only managed to do it once. Some weeks it poured and other times I got home late from working over-time..haha..hope today's run is successful..Tian and I have the same flabby tummies so haha it's quite nice to work together to strive for a less fatty body HAHA. actually he just wants me to exercise. he has his every saturday floorball workout so I'm sure he'll be fit again very soon. I need to work harder.
Oh ya about our dearest michelle ang..haha jamie n i with ricky went to visit her last week after work.She's looking fine except for one huge pimple-lookalike pox on her face. haha she's down with chicken pox and of course happily recuperating at home with jega's tender loving care. HAHA well she got chicken pox cos she was caring for jega during his period of chicken pox n then two weeks later she got it from him of course. Her itch should be subsiding by now. When we went over, we played cards n talked, of course I had the aim of distracting her from her itch. Haha. Her face looked swollen though..a little. After the visit, till today, I'm still watching out for any unusual "pimple" on my body. Was quite worried this morning when i felt sth popping out of my skin today on my back..which in the end turned out to be a mosquito bite (i think). Haha. It takes 2 weeks..but really hope I won't get chicken pox again. Should be immune by now unless our dear chicken pox virus mutated so much over the years haha.
Gonna take leave next monday for a day trip to jb. Gonna try out go-karting and horse riding(i don't think we'll get to do that, mich) with tian and friends. Haha can't wait but hope I don't crash and malu myself in front of all the guys. Well with my superb driving skills maybe not but haha i'm quite scared actually whenever I drive damn fast. Finally i'm gonna do sth with tian..Actually I have been planning to quit my job end june so that i can spend everyday slacking or rather spending quality time with tian the whole day but now my superior is hoping I can work till end July, or better September..which I can't obviously. I want to though, cos there's a congress coming up in Sep and it'll be quite an accomplishment to be able to be part of the workforce for this event. In this way there'll be sort of a closure to my job at OGSS, or rather, I would have contributed a significant part to the Society. I don't know la..haiz I also wanna slack away..especially before the start of mugging life again..so dreadful
Haha jamie's being the make-up guru on her blog again..that girl is forever so happy shopping and taking photos and all..oh to michelle..if you need recommendations for concealor or foundation..read my dear friend jamie's blog (see link above)..n today I tried a little of maybelline's wonderfinish foundation on my hand..thought it's rather good as in it's not cakey and it looks as if I did not put anything! but oh well i'm not good at such stuff..
Why hasn't NUS send anything to us yet..anybody received anything? It's rather late seriously.
I realised a lot of girls around me spend a lot on clothes n shoes n bags n make-up!! Not a bad thing of course. the amount I'm spending is insignificant as compared to them..so why do i feel guilty. But of course I have to consider the amount of money I can afford to spend..which is much lesser as compared to the wealthy..haiya but it's fine I don't need so many things, but that having pretty clothes and shoes do make one look better..i'm being vain again. Now why am I back to this topic again..so irritating..

Hi..i'm finally blogging again..a short one in between work. Home's internet service is down, most probably because my dad did not pay starhub or sth..think we're changing to broadband..hope it'll give us lesser problems.But a sunday at home without internet access and scv sucks..nearly died. Occupied myself by sleeping a lot till my sister was sick of me pigging in the room while she's doing her homework. haha can't help it, I really have nothing to do. Finally dragged myself up to do a little cross-stitching n waaahhh after that time seems to fly n soon it's time for dinner n non-stop tv after that. Slept so much and now i've so much energy, or rather, very awake at work. HAHA

Farewell to the Pope. I'm ashamed I am ignorant of his contribtions to the good of mankind and world peace. I do hope Straits Times will have a few pages of articles tomorrow to pay tribute to him. Especially about his life as a Pope and all the things he did for his people, such that people all over the world respect him and pray for him. It's never too late.
A slacking Sunday
Yeap, a rare slacking sunday. Left home early for my sunday driving lessons, got to try the auto cars today and I was damn shocked by how easy it is. Not that I'm regretting learning manual because I'm proud that I can drive both cars. haha just that I think i'll be bored learning auto cars because there's really nothing much to it. I felt like a pro driving today, as if i've been driving for ages with a license. haha but it's dangerous because it's easy to speed, however so fun because my hands and feet are so free and I can move off so much faster after stopping!! I'm so gonna miss auto cars..
Back home at about 3..banked in my salary (haha!) and came home for a nap, simply because there's nothing to do. Woke up god knows how many hours later, digested the week's newspapers and growled at the news about hike in cinema prices. damn irritating it's expensive enough and the three stupid greedy cinemas just want more from us huh!! Sadly, most Singaporeans are frequent movie-goers and they're gonna earn more from us now. I was thinking of a national strike to stop watching movies and instead, wait for the shows to air on HBO or Star Movies (it really isn't a long wait actually). In this way, GV, EngWAH and Shaw will suffer a huge loss and realise they should not fool with us. HAHA I can go on dreaming.Don't think it'll work cos Singaporeans are getting so affluent now. Sad.
Had been blog surfing to kill time after eating mashed potato. Don't know if I should be envious of others' lifes which are so happening. Envy - one of the 7 deadly sins of Singaporeans. I don't deny that's a sin of mine, I think some people may feel the same way. Some people are accomplished in certain areas, some people get opportunities which are so exclusive, some people are well-to-do and are always having a good time. You read about it, and you say wow. Some people get jealous, and jealousy may thurn into evil feelings. I guess envy is milder. I envy, I smile at the thought of perhaps I may be like that one day, and soon forget about it. Yea that's not too bad.
Dinner time..tml's work again..somehow it doesn't feel that dreadful, not for now at least. Haha my sister just consulted me about chemistry tuition and I wanna knock her head man!! physics tuition maybe can..chemistry no haha i don't allow..and the "shen" is right beside her HAHA i'm gonna give her a lesson later. chemical bonding, she said she's lost. That's the easiest and rather important topic man!!
Shopping with tian yesterday followed by dinner at Nooch (yes my third time n I don't want anymore actually..had no choice haha) with tian's friends. Was introduced to VNC which was praised by the girls of having good designs (better than charles n keith) and affordable prices..haha what a pity I never stepped into the shop before. One of the girls was wearing this pair of dark brown n dusty pink pointy pumps and I swear I'll get it. It's damn nice la. Having bought quite a few tops past few weeks I am shifting to shoes. Gonna get 2 new pairs this month. one for work and one out.Somehow I think shoes are very important in making one feel good and confident. High heels always make me feel very confident haha because you're taller of cos and somehow yu feel more in power n yu can walk with your head high. Heels are such an essential but I'm rather worried of injuring my feet and I'm scared I'll get ugly veins on my leg when I grow old. hmm nvm. Gonna get a pair with kitty heels for work instead of wearing flats. Realised more doctors and people at KK are recognising me n here comes the need to look more presentable now haha. I used to be rather slack with my dressing to work. Not anymore! N i hate to be called new girl. so irritating. nvm slowly more doctors will recognise me and know me better.
By the way, I'm savouring my free saturday mornings before going out with tian. Haha slept 12 hours yesterday.Hope sleeping more is good for the skin. Oh and watching fishes is rather calming and therapeutic.
Christianity is actually a philosophy. So I can just read the Bible to learn about its teachings and of course they teach at churches. I'm sort of contented with learning the teachings now and have yet to get to the stage of worship. I don't know..but i feel that learning from Jesus' teachings and be a good person is sufficient. But I think worship is the part where you are thankful to your teacher and saviour and because we're all sinners we should pray for forgiveness. Somehow I think it is more effective if you actually not sin. It's not possible i know. But we should all pray to thank Him for everything He has given us. Happy family, food and water to drink everyday and so much more. Amen.

So caught up with uni apps this week..thank god today's the deadline meaning everything will be settled by today!! what a huge relief. Because of my eagerness to get into nus med, I realised I troubled so many people who have helped me in one way or another. pple like ms teh especially, who has to rush out nominations and reference letter for me. though tian said it is part of the job of a teacher, I still felt very bad to ask her to write for me. Last night I stayed up to rush out a resume,n lots of thanks to pam who advised me to look up the web for tips on resume writing. A life-saver. So, everything is more or less done.
However, all this time I'm selfishly worrying about myself, my chances, my uni apps, and I realised I forgot about my friends like pam, sarah, xin yee..What are they doing right now? How are their results? What are they applying for? Do they need help or moral support? tsk..I was too caught up with my own life such that I did not send perhaps a few sms to my friends to ask about their well-being. So I mass-smsed my class to ask them out next week for a class gathering. good response so far..and I found out that xin yee is going on a mission trip kind of thing. I think it's a self-initiated community service trip to vietnam to help some school children get scholarships. I was quite shocked by her sms. She had persuaded her dad to go with her alone for a noble cause. How many people around us actually do that?!! I was in awe and so proud of her. I made her promise to bring me on one of these trips in future.
Everyone is so different. Xin yee is devoted to community service, and I wonder what is the driving force or whatever you call it which makes her so eager to lend a helping hand to others. And she does not restrict herself to Singapore, she's so brave to venture out to the unknown places and to interact with people whom she is not familiar with. While I'm working to earn some money to increase my standard of living, she is out helping others and of course indirectly herself too
I'm so eager to see my class soon!! Man cannot live alone, we need to keep interacting with one another for survival. haha our ecosystem, or ___ relationship which we learn in ecology, my most lousy topic..can't remember a thing from it.
Just read jamie's blog..don't know how she find time to blog everyday but she sleeps much later than me so that explains it. Some people are making blogs ugly, and these people are really damn free. Why do strangers bother about another's life? friends tag on each other's blog to send a hi or well-wishing..but pple who are damn free destroy tag boards. Aiyo..don't thay have other things to do?? N now I know where everyone gathers..at jamie's blog haha. N I realised my good friend is damn popular cos so many passer-bys on her blog!!

Why do strangers bother about another's life? friends tag on each other's blog to send a hi or well-wishing..but pple who are damn free destroy tag boards. Aiyo..don't thay have other things to do?? N now I know where everyone gathers..at jamie's blog haha. N I realised my good friend is damn popular cos so many passer-bys on her blog!!
