True Love Never Runs Smooth

2011-02-15T22:44:00.003+08:00

It's been half a year since I last posted something.

Spent my 22nd birthday in Taipei last October. Didn't manage to tour the whole Taiwan but hopefully can go back there soon. (:

Christmas and New Year 2011 was a blast! Spent the eves with a few friends at Birdie Putt where we had lots of fun drinking, pooling and making fun of each other. =p

Chinese New Year this year was not-so-great. Gathering with relatives was okay. Something unhappy happened though. Hmm, I dunno if its just me being petty. But I'm still kinda upset over the whole incident. I feel that no matter what happened between my parents and my uncle, it has got absolutely nothing to do with me. Furthermore, I think my dad is doing alot to make things better. He just had to do this to ME. Oh well, I guess after awhile, I'll get over it.. Not now though.

Valentine's was only half spent. Because it fell on a Monday, the boyfriend didn't spend time with me on the actual day. But I appreciated that he actually planned a surprise for me for this very special day. After a long day at work, I received a phone call saying that he had something for me. A bouquet of pink flowers came soon after to my work place. Pretty roses.

2011 has just started. I hope it's going to be a great year ahead..

17 July 2010 - It marks the 20th month we have been together. However, love isn't free to accompany my the whole of the weekend. His colleague is getting married and he is supposed to go help out.

And so, he decided that we should finally go to The Flyer! I was really excited because the NDP rehersal is also today. We were hoping we could catch the fireworks on the flyer. I guess everyone else wants to do the same so we were stuck in the queue when the fireworks went off. I got to see them still - not in the best location of course, but its okay. (:

The night lights in Singapore is actually really nice. It would probably be nicer in the years to come when everything around Marina Bay is built. The dumb dumb me forgot the camera though. I happily thought there would be some kind of light in the cabin. But no lights, so no photos because the only cameras we had on us was the phone cameras. ):

I enjoyed myself today. Even though I had to get up early to work in the morning. 20th month and still counting. Baby, I love you. (:

2010-03-03T21:07:00.002+08:00

Was reading one of my patient's parent's facebook status and it triggered a thought. Just this Monday, I found out that a patient of mine has lost her battle against cancer. She's about 12 years old, a very independent girl.

I remember the first time I did her dressing for her and I thought she was a nice girl - she offered to remove the previous dressing herself. She said thank you at the end of the whole procedure. Probably after some time, she got sick of her own illness and probably wanted some attention, she became a little rude and demanding. We didn't really like to do her dressing for her after that.

When I found out about her passing, I got a shock. The last time I saw her before CNY, she looked cheerful and happy even though she was on oxygen. She was no longer that demanding little girl I used to know. I was secretly hoing that the hospital she was at would transfer her back when she was well. But the last news I got to hear about her, was this.

I wonder how the parents felt at that time when they made the decision to take away all the tubes that was supporting her life.

At least, she's pain-free now. She'll definitely be a happier girl up there. Camille, you've been a strong girl. I know you'll no longer feel pain up there. I'll miss you. (:

2010-02-15T01:15:00.003+08:00

Valentine's day was celebrated earlier this year due to the clash with Chinese New Year. I was a happy girl that day. Got a surprise and presents! Hehe.

We spent V-Day at Marina Square. Ate at Manhattan and their lobster set was great! Got a pair of earrings from the boyfriend! - from Soo Kee's Brilliant Rose series. Got a bouquet of flowers as well, though he told me he won't be getting any for me.

Watched Little Big Soldier after that. Movie was not bad. Ending was a lil sad. Went back home after that. Not a very long day because we celebrated it on a Friday after work.

Lunch over at my house on CNY eve. Mahjong-ed a bit and baby left for his reunion dinner while we prepare to go over to grandma's house for dinner.

And so, CNY celebrations still going on. House visiting will continue tomorrow all the way till the third day! (:

2010-01-13T23:10:00.002+08:00

I'm bored so I decided that I should visit this place. It's been a long time since I've updated. Life have been quite mundane. Working on the weekdays and rest during the weekends.

I should be sleeping now but it feels too early to go to bed.

I'm talking nonsense already.

Okay. Good night world.

2009-12-27T22:57:00.002+08:00

Last few days spent with the boyfriend was nice. My family went KL over the Christmas weekend, my sister went over to her boyfriend's place. Love didn't want me to be too bored alone at home, he came over to spent the many nights with me! (:

We were trying to catch the "Alvin and the Chipmunks 2" for soo many days. Every session was fully booked. We only manage to catch the show today evening only because we bought the tickets 6 hours earlier. Show was nice. The only bad thing was, too many kids watching the show. There was 4 children sitting next to us. They were quiet initially, but started playing with the arm rest at the last part of the movie.

This long weekend went by too quickly. ):

I want more weekends like this!!

2009-11-29T22:03:00.004+08:00

The long weekend was spent with the boyfriend. (: Wanted to watch 2012 on Friday. But all the tickets were sold out. Its been 2 weekends and every show is filled with people. Watched Christmas Carol in the end. Nice show, should go and watch it.

Made breakfast on Saturday morning together. Scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese cocktails and ham. Yummy! (: Went out in the afternoon to sell my old phone. Went over to Pasir Ris for his colleague daughter's 3rd birthday party and Shikin's 21st birthday party. The whole of Costa Sands Pasir Ris seem to be celebrating brirthdays that weekend. Almost every door had the "Happy Birthday" sign. Lols. Met Francis there as well, he was also celebrating someone's birthday.

Sunday was spent together with my family. Went Tiong Bahru to eat breakfast - the very famous pig organ soup, carrot cake and oyster omelette. Left to IMM to walk around. Went over to West Coast Park for MacDonalds. It was like touring around the west side of Singapore. Haha.

And boyfriend finally found my walking Stitch! YAY!

Its back to work tomorrow after the looong weekend.. Busy week ahead!

2009-10-19T21:54:00.002+08:00

I finally got my long awaited new phone yesterday!! Initially I was deciding between Nokia N97 & LG Crystal GD900. Since I was using my dad's M1 voucher, I went to look around in M1. Crystal's not available in M1 yet.

Just before I got my Nokia N97, my dad and boyfriend told me to look at the HTC Hero on display. I walked over to Starhub where they had the demo phone. And ta-dah! I got the HTC Hero instead. I was worrying about the phone being too complex. But the smart me now knows how to use the phone! =p

Not forgetting, I've gotta thank my Mum & Dad, Sis & Randall for the phone. It was bought with Daddy's voucher, Mummy's ang bao for 21st, Sis & Randall's angbao for my 21st. I only had to top up a little bit. (:

2009-10-11T21:11:00.003+08:00

Back from my Hongkong trip with baby. Spent the whole of my trip walking around shopping. Day 2 was spent at Disneyland. We literally spent the whole day there. Reached the place at 9am and we played the whole day and left only at 930pm at night after their fireworks show. The fireworks is beautiful. I totally understand why Eli says that the fireworks he saw at US Disneyland is alot more nicer than Singapore's.

I managed to buy a Coach wrislet and a small wallet from their Coach store. Spent less than 350SGD in total for the both items. Happy girl! (:

Was dead tired on the last day. Spent the last day doing last minute shopping trying to use up the remaining HKD we had. Reached Singapore as late as 1130pm. Went over to his place and slept quite soon after.

After 2 weeks of fun, its back to work for the both of us tomorrow. ):

2009-09-20T21:02:00.003+08:00

Just a quick update cuz I'm bored. Another 10 days to my leave!! WOOHOO! I'm soooo looking forward to it.

Trip to Hongkong is already confirmed!
To buy necessities - checked!
To change SGD to HKD - checked!
To collect electronic ticket from agency - checked!

Birthday plans are confirmed by my mum already. Buffet dinner held at Novotel@ClarkeQuay on the 26th September. Party after dinner! Yeay!
To send invitations to 10 friends - checked!

10 more days, 10 more days! (:

2009-08-23T21:37:00.002+08:00

Its been 2 months since I last blogged. Work have been.. not so good. But, oh well, its just a job. Got a transfer to my ward's outpatient clinc for the next 3 months. Not much changes, just the working hours and lesser pay. ):

Celebrated my Daddy's birthday today. Went to intercontinental hotel for a lunch buffet. Nice but lots of spicy and raw food. Didn't manage to eat much. ):
Watched "Whre Got Ghost" today with love, mummy, daddy and my lil bro. Funny at some parts but not a very nice show. Was quite disappointing.

I'm so excited about coming October. Not only because of my 21st birthday, but I'll be heading to Hongkong! YAY!!!

Birthday celebrations are planned by my mum, still pending.

Going to confirm my Hongkong trip over the next week.

Work as usual until my 2 weeks break in October.

2009-07-01T23:05:00.002+08:00

Today's shopping trip with Faith and Lina had been fruitful. Had work in the morning and went to meet them after that. Ate at town as we were starving and started shopping right after that. Walked around FEP and took awhile before we started real shopping.

Bought a skirt, top and a belt from this particular store with a super friendly cashier. Left and went over to DFS cuz Faith wanted to get something for her husband. And I bought my first Gucci wallet with my first bonus!!! WOOHOOO!!!

Went to walk around with boyfriend after that as Faith's husband came over to pick her. Ate dinner and bought even more things. Got all my neccesities from The Body Shop. Bought like 8 pieces of face mask from Face Shop. Then got 2 more shorts from Cotton On. Went home with many bags on my hands.

I'm a happy girl now!! (:

2009-06-24T01:15:00.002+08:00

I hate this feeling. I hate it when I'm not able to go out as and when I like anymore. I hate it when I can't do anything to make things better.

I'm unhappy with myself. Unhappy at the fact that I chose this job. The fact that I'm feeling attached to the ward that I don't really want to ask for a tranfer to a place where I can work office hours.

I guess that's what they mean when they say, "In life, you gain some, you lose some."

Whatever. I'm going to bed. I hope it'll get better tomorrow, though I know it probably won't. ):

2009-06-18T14:06:00.002+08:00

I'm bored now. Alone at home waiting for 6pm to come then I'll be off to work. Mum's out shopping with her friend. No one's at home.

There seems to be more and more politics at work. People getting cocky after promotions. People having cliques. People who are closer to the 'higher-ups' becoming rude. Sigh. I miss the ward one year ago. When everyone is close to everybody.

I'm thinking if I should go for a haircut or go shop around IMM.

2009-06-10T14:26:00.003+08:00

Spent one whole week of my AL doing lots of things. Went shopping, watching movies that have been just released and cycling at ECP.

Had an eye infection at the end of my leave though. And I never thought an eye infection can get so bad. I left it unattended thinking that without my contact lens it would be fine. But it left me with a severe headache of pain score 10/10. I really cried because of the pain. I went to work the next day still after the headache subsided and eye still sore. The headache got worse towards the end of work and I ended up with a high fever. The doctor told me the infection in the eye might have led to the headache and fever. =x

My parents got me a seiko criteria watch after I requested for one. WEE~! I'm a happy girl now. (:

2009-05-30T16:11:00.002+08:00

Today is the first time I did resuscitation on one of my patients. She's a 3 year old baby girl. Its the feeling of a life slipping away, no matter how much chest compressions we do, how much medicine we gave to make the heart start pumping again.

I saw her become restless from sleeping, struggling with the oxygen machine and slowly becoming unresponsive. I saw how her mother was scolding her for not sleeping and then shouting for her not to fall asleep. I saw the mum crying for a whole 4 hours but we couldn't say anything to make her feel better because she lost her child - something we have never experienced.

Qian Yun, you have been a strong girl, fighting for so long. At least, there's no more pain for you now. Rest in peace, my dear girl. (:

2009-04-19T23:16:00.003+08:00

My baby cousin celebrated her 1st birthday today. Went over to this German cafe around Millenia Walk for the celebration. Food was not bad.

The birthday girl - Vera.

Went to trim my fringe after the lunch. My brother went along because he wanted to cut bangs as well. LOL. He really did! He changed his hair colour as well. This is our before and after photos. Haha.

This was before the hair cut, at the cafe.

And ta-dah!!

2009-04-18T22:58:00.000+08:00

Love gave me a surprise on our 6th month-sary. From Tiffany & Co. (:

A necklace!

Afterthat, we had dinner at Manhattan's Fish Market at Central Mall that day. Ordered alot of food and didn't finish everything up. Walked down the Singapore River and met some other people later in the night.

What more can I ask for? (:

2009-03-21T23:39:00.003+08:00

Went to watch 'My Bloody Valentine' in 3D today. Went to town early, ate lunch and slacked awhile at Ben's & Jerry's and we still had 3 hours to spent. Boyfriend and me ended up in the arcade at PS playing the 'Scoop sweet to win toy'[I dunno the exact name =x] machine. Spent quite a bit, got alot of sweets and won the toy!! We initially thought we'll only get one but we got 2! It took me some time to realise that we got the jackpot. Haha.

The amount of sweet we got..

The soft toys. They come in a pair. One of them is going to end up at his house.

The movie afterthat was nice. The 3D effects was good. The storyline was so-so though. Work starts for me tomorrow. ):

2009-03-20T22:33:00.002+08:00

Just 2 days ago after my morning shift, I walked into the usual hair salon that I always go to, thinking of getting a cut and hair treatment. Then, I made a somewhat impulse decision to curl my hair. Lucky it didn't turn out too bad.

I dunno if work is getting better or worse. The irritating nurse manager is gone. But the ward is in a mess now. The phillipinos aren't doing their best at work. Everything seems weird. And everyone seems not so close anymore. Cliques are forming which is a bad thing. And, the ward is starting 3 nights shifts in a row next month. More off definitely, and lesser rounds of night per month. I think that's a good thing though. Hahas.

2009-03-02T21:46:00.008+08:00

Spent my whole Sunday helping out at my cousin's wedding. Yes, she's married and she's married to my secondary school mate. How small Singapore can get? And I got to meet up with a few of my Sec sch friends yesterday during the dinner.

The bride.

Woke up as early as 0630 and went over to her house to be one of her 'sisters'. We prepared a nice dessert for the guys. They should thanks us!! HAHA. Wasabi with white chocolate. The guys were all dumb enough to only eat the wasabi and not the chocolote. Lols.

The preparation of the 'ice cream'. Wahahas.

The girls with the bride.

Came to get the bride and went over to the guy's house. Had tea ceremony and went back to the bride's place for tea ceremony again.

The dinner at night had got us busy. Helped out to be one of the emcees for the night and had to help her with her dress. The hotel served nice dinner and that hotel is good. The complimentary room they gave was good as well - big and spacious.

The groom.

My partner emcee for the night, my brother and me! (:

Saturday was out with the boyfriend. Went to watch 'Marley and me'. Nice nice show. I cried at the end of the movie. Poor dog. The movie didn't manage to include everything that was written in the book. But still nice. Dinner at his aunt's house after that.

Took leave for today. Work starts tomorrow again. ):

2009-02-18T00:35:00.002+08:00

Went out shopping for a pink dress for my cousin's wedding. I bought many other unneccessary stuff. Bought like, 2 other dresses and a bag. Just last week, I bought 2 dresses and 3 sets on lingerie. Yes, I've been shopping alot lately, don't ask me why. Because I dunno why myself.

Met up with Kleo today at FEP. Been a long time, sorry bestie. Not that I've been busy pak tor-ing. Been working. I only go out like, once a week now, which is on my off days. I'm frustrated with this kinda lifestyle. ):

Stress me some more, I swear I'll submit my 24 hour resignation letter soon. I cant take it anymore..

2009-02-15T22:43:00.003+08:00

Went home after work early in the morning on Valentine's day. Slept until about 12pm when my mum woke me up telling me there's flowers sent over. I looked up, took over the flowers, put the bouquet on the bed and went back to sleep. Woke up later at 1pm to take a good look at it. (:

The flowers.

Went out in the afternoon to meet love. Got my burberry brit sheer perfume as a present.

(:

Had dinner over at this japanese pasta restaurant over at Citylink. Met some friends at Marina Square's Kbox after that.

At the restaurant..

The day was spent just like that. No grand celebrations, but I was a happy girl that day!

2009-02-13T02:14:00.002+08:00

I'm angry, very angry!
Angry at the fact that I got complaints - for things that are so very unreasonable.
The juniors expect us, RNs to help them with their stuff when we are free. Then who's going to help us when we are very busy?

I was thinking about it for the whole 2 days. And there's this urge to quit, to look for another job. Another job that allows me to have time to meet up with all the friends that I haven seen for the longest time. I'm really upset, upset that politics are starting at the ward.

Perhaps, I should really start looking for another job so that I can quit in September.

2009-02-03T23:15:00.002+08:00

Okay, I realised how long I haven been blogging. But working life has nothing nice to blog about. Spent CNY with my family. Went to Esplanade on CNY Eve after reunion dinner with the boyfriend. They had the fire crackers over there. Wanted to head over to Chinatown to buy some goodies but decided not to in the end because of the expected crowd.

Got 3 days of CNY off. Took last minute leave on the first day. Went house visiting and collected quite a number of ang baos from my relatives. 3rd day went over to my mum's boss house for CNY visiting-cum-house warming. Won a total of $150 while playing Texas Holder.

Supposedly to go over to Fred's house on Saturday, but nothing was confirmed. Gotta plan for MJ soon. Went over to the boyfriend's aunt's place for Lo Hei in the end. Sunday was to Mr Edmund's house with the poly mates! Haven seen the girls for quite awhile. Photos to be up when Evon sends them to me. (:

2009-01-18T19:31:00.002+08:00

I'm finally done with the packing of my table. Threw out alot of stuff. Still left with buying of shoes and bag and probably, 2 more bottoms. Hehe.

One more week to CNY and I predict a busy busy week. Lots of things to be done and so little time left. Sad thing is, I'm working on the first day of CNY. BOOO! ):

Went to watch Red Cliff 2 last weekend. Woo~ The show is NICE. MUST WATCH! Hehe. I seriously dun mind watching another time. Lols.

2009-01-05T22:26:00.002+08:00

Went shopping during the last 2 weekends for my CNY clothes with bf and I managed to buy alot of clothes. I really mean, alot. I bought like.. 2 bottoms, 2 dresses and 6 tops!! Like, is there even so many days of house visiting? Lols. Alright, not all was bought by me, but still, I paid for most of them and half of my pay is gone. Haven even bought my shoes and bag..

Finally started to pack my cupboard and a bit of my table. I cleared the top of my table, the top shelf beside my table, and my wardrobe. I cleared out one big bag of rubbish and there is still my drawers to pack.. Can I just throw everything in the drawers..?

Work was terrible. Ward now facing shortage of staff with 2 staff submitting their 24-hours notice resignation last Friday. How great. Oh well, but who wants to stay in that place..

2008-12-23T00:10:00.000+08:00

Had a nice surpirse from love at work today. (:

Dinner and movie, Ip Man after work today. Movie was nice. I thought it was going to be boring because it's an action film, but NICE!

Off day tomorrow. Gotta start packing my room for New Year!

2008-12-15T12:39:00.002+08:00

It's been a long time since I'm here. Lots of things happened in this 2 weeks or so. Been and back from my Hongkong trip with my family. Had fun there but also lots of unhappy things happened there.

Came back on Saturday night with lots of sms-es in my phone. Went to watch 'The day the world stood still' yesterday. Not my kind of movie I must say. But was interesting enough to keep me awake because I was really tired from the trip.

Looking forward to christmas. Gotta start planning for it already. Gotta start buying presents. I haven really got down to doing it. Going back to work tomorrow... Oh well...

2008-11-25T23:31:00.003+08:00

Dearest Jillian, it has been a joy looking after you. It's a shock to many that your condition have deterioriated so quickly. You'll be missed.(:

Yes, we've lost one more kid to cancer. It's a pity because she had been such a dear. I started working not long after she has been diagnosed with the illness. I've seen the times she went for all her scans in the beginning, the first time she went on chemotherapy treatment and the first time she was hit with a fever and so on. It's the first patient that I've seen go through everything and passed away. It affected me so much that I cried when I left her wake.

Maybe after a few months, I'll be less emotional. I dunno.. I like the bond I have with my patients but I hate it when this happens.. ):

2008-10-26T17:02:00.003+08:00

Have been partying for the past 2 weekends. Last week was Phuture for Jess' birthday. This week was at Boiler Room beside St. James. Music was good at both places. I had fun.

Work was usual.

Social life is.. good. Lols.

This post is so.. boring. Yes, I know. But there's nothing else for me to update. So yea..

Don't try controlling me. I'll end up being rebellious..

2008-10-12T03:28:00.003+08:00

Thanks Kelvin, I haven had so much fun and laughter for some time. (:

Went to Ikea for dinner after sleeping for awhile after my night shift. A sudden decision to head down to Singapore Zoo's Night Safari as they're having this Haloween Horror thingy going on for this month.

Had fun looking, taking photos and getting frightened by the different characters there. Watched the animal show, took the horror tram and walked through the 'Bridge of Hell'. The whole place set-up was good, really. Had a nice time.. scaring myself? Hahas. Went in at 9pm and we only left the place at 12mn.

Headed back to Jurong's McDonald's for a drink and it was home. It's going to be rest at home tomorrow and work on Monday!

2008-10-08T00:51:00.003+08:00

I haven had a real update about my birthday celebrations. But that's because I haven got all the photos. Hmm, alright. I'll upload them another day.

Went out with my colleagues to Swensen's for dinner. It was initially a farewell dinner for Evelynn. But since Andrew's and my birthday was round the corner, it was celebrated as well. Dinner was really fun. Had a small small surprise from Clara and Dixie.

All of us. I know I look weird. That's cuz Jaes[the one behind me] was disturbing my photo taking!

Top: Vivian, Mei Hua, Dixie, Ida, Clara, Me
Bottom: Evelynn, [very happy]En Hao, [very stressed up]Andrew, James

Saturday was K session with Kevin, Jess and Eli. The K session was suggested by Fred because he 'very long never sing songs' already. But I guess something cropped up so he couldn't join us in the end. Dinner @ Glasshouse Fish & co with Kevin, Fred, Lynn, JJ, Daniel and Eli. They sabotaged me when I was in the toliet. They told the waiter about my birthday celebration and I was made to stand on a chair while they sang a birthday song. A memorable one. (:

Went over to Wynstan's birthday chalet last saturday before heading over to Fred's house for his & Joey's birthday celebration. Got my birthday wishes from the rest and played a lil of Mahjong at the chalet. Fred's birthday celebration wasn't bad as well. His mum baked 2 cakes for the both of them. It was really yummy!

It was work after all the fun. Problems cropped up as usual. Roster problems. Stupid woman wants us to ask permission if we want to request for a shift even before we put it into our FT Organiser[a program that allows us to request for shifts on certain days]. Like, what's the use of the FT Organiser then? Stupid rules.

2008-10-01T23:19:00.002+08:00

Thanks for all the sweet birthday wishes from everyone - be it through sms, msn, friendster comment or facebook!

I spent the first 9 hours in the ward. Was dead tired so I kinda fell asleep after I reached home. I woke up only to see my phone with a many birthday wishes. Imagine the phone ringing so so so many times at the maximum volume and I heard none.

Lucky me, all my plans today were cancelled. I couldn't even find last minute programmes at all. I looked for those who would usually be free even last minute, but none of them were free la! Hais.

Anyway, my past 2 night shifts were bad. I had admissions for two nights in a row. Both nights this particular patient suddenly spike temperature. Both nights I had patients puking and puking and puking. Both nights I had transfusions to do. Tell me how lucky can I get this year, like seriously. ):

2008-09-27T00:22:00.002+08:00

Was on leave since Wednesday. Took AL initially cuz wanted to celebrate birthday at chalet with Freddy and Joey since our birthdays are so near each other. But no promotiosn were going on so we decided to cancel the whole thing. So I took the chance to rest at home after working for 5 whole months.

Last few days was spent out loitering. Haha. Wednesday night was dinner with Kleo and we went down to Holland Village where we settled down at a pub to have a drink with Kenneth and Lawrence. Thursday was spent watching movie and walking around town with Daniel. Went over to Clarke Quay to look for Kenneth to slack for awhile because I wasn't in the mood to go home so early.

Went out with my colleagues to have dinner at Swensen's for a farewell dinner for Evelynn. They celebrated birthday for me and Andrew together as well. Had lots of fun crapping. Spent the whole night there eating dinner and slacking. Left at around 1100pm because Andrew needs to go back to the ward to do rounding tomorrow morning.

Plans for tomorrow?
- K session with Eli, Jess, Kevin, Fred and Lynn.
- Dinner @ Glasshouse Fish & Co. with them and Kleo, JJ, ?Benji and Daniel.
- ?Clubbing with Kleo, Lincoln, Kenneth and his friends.

2008-09-22T01:17:00.002+08:00

It suddenly struck me when I was at this topic with best friend.

Self-reflection.

2008-09-19T22:35:00.000+08:00

I'm having second thoughts.

Perhaps, I should think this whole thing through again.

2008-09-15T03:04:00.002+08:00

It's 3am now. I'm on morning shift tomorrow. And I cant seem to fall asleep. I hate morning shifts on Mondays. I hate morning shifts after my night shift. How to shift back the body clock to sleep? Think so easy meh. Idiot.

Haven been updating much. Busy. Been busy with work. One round of night shift every week, tell me how to blog regularly? Busy with love. Had a not-so-big quarrel a week back, but fine now. We have been meeting up only like once or twice a week now. Work has been keeping us busy. Busy with shopping. Hehe.

Someone, please knock me out now.

2008-08-30T23:41:00.002+08:00

I was in a bad mood after dinner when mum called to nag for no good reason. While being angry, pouting and eating the desert, he told me, 'Wait for me for awhile can? I'll be back soon.' I agreed and sat there waiting while eating the remaining of the desert.

He came back with a bunch of blue roses in his hand and said, 'For you, dear.'

And he said it was all in exchange for a smile. (:

2008-08-25T22:18:00.002+08:00

Been a loooooong time since I updated this thing. Hmm, things have been great for me so far. Work has never been more fine.

The only problem with me, is that I think I think too much. Way too much.

Last week was bad though. I offered to help a colleague cover her night shift when she wasn't feeling well. That was after 2 night shifts of mine and only one sleeping day with no sleep at all. I was allowed to sleep because I told them beforehand. I had severe lack of sleep for the whole of last week.

Caught the fireworks festival this year over at Marina Bay. I only managed to watch the France one because it was raining the next day. And the rain kinda spoilt all my plans. I'm looking forward to my next payday. ALLOWANCE!!! Hehe.

2008-08-08T01:20:00.002+08:00

Hmm, had a fun filled off day. Got to meet up with a few peeps within this one day. I met up with Eli in town to slack and buy some stuff. After eating my lunch, I saw Ray and KC at KFC! Chatted a lil with Ray.

Left orchard to meet anoter friend for dinner at Central, the one at Clarke Quay. Walked around the place and he left while I waited for Kenneth to finish work. Asked if I could get a ride from him before that and he agreed, that's why.

Went with him to this prata place at Pasir Panjang where he had his dinner and I had a drink. Too much eating and drinking today. I couldn't even finish that small cup of Teh Peng. Lols.

Work starts again tomorrow.. sigh..

2008-08-06T23:28:00.002+08:00

I'm back from my night shifts! Both nights were fine. Not many patients and not very busy. We had time to go buy food, shop at 7-Eleven, eat and gossip for a whole 2 hours.

But dunno whether isit because I'm really tired after both nights or wad, I boarded the wrong bus home! I swear I saw the number '105'. I was so tired that I almost fell asleep in the bus. Luckily I didn't. I only realised it was the wrong bus when I saw it turning into the wrong way after Clementi Station. Cost me $7 to take a cab home. Should have just took a cab home straight from work. Zzz.

Didn't sleep really well as well. Woke up because I had muscle cramps over the leg. Wanted to sleep lesser so that my sleeping hours can return to normal. But I couldn't wake at all until 8pm. Well done, I had just wasted one off day. Supposed to meet a colleague to go for this Spa session because we have a voucher. But she didn't sms me as planned.

Going shopping to use up my $50 shopping voucher at Takashimaya. Yeay!

2008-08-03T22:37:00.006+08:00

Its been a long time since I blogged. So I decided to pop by. But then again, I dunno what I should blog about. I'm finally going on night shifts again, starting from tomorrow night.

Let's see. I shall start from last week then. Went Sentosa with Lynn, Fred, Eli, Joey, Chun Hua & Kelvin. Wait, I think I blooged about that the last time. Shall upload the photos then. Lol.

Lynn & me.

Kelvin & Eli.

Eli, Joey & Kelvin

we got a lil too bored.

The whole group of us without Chun Hua. He went off earlier for work.

Taken with the help of a friendly stranger.

The whole of last week was like, Nurses' Week. Lols. We had lots of gifts from the different consultants and professors, pharmacists, patients & their family and we had our own mini celebration in the ward's conference room.

Half of the people working there.

I'm an ANGEL! LOL!

Bought a new pair of specs and 'removed' the gold part of my hair last week as well.

New specs!

This is the best picture I can find. My hair is now dark brown in colour. Its time to be a good girl again. Lols.

Oh oh! And I finally went down to that ULU PANDAN place to return my graduation gown. Lols.

Still waiting for the photos from YiFeng's birthday chalet... (:

2008-07-28T00:17:00.002+08:00

For once in a long time, I got both my weekends off! I'm a happy girl!

Went to Sentosa on Saturday with Freddy, Lynn, Joey, Chun Hua, Eli and Kelvin. Had one go at the sky ride and the Luge ride. It's fun, fun, fun! Long time since I last went on that. After that, the guys went on with their Frisbee training for the coming competition[?] on Wednesday. Walked around Palawan beach with Lynn to take photos. Hehe.

Wanted to watch 'Red Cliff' after that. But it was too late after we went to the arcade, eat dinner and the rest played PSP. Plus, there was no tickets left. So we went to watch it today after Eli's and Kelvin's Mizuno Wave Run.

The show is NICE! I'm so going to read that book now. I always thought that book will be boring. But the show seem really interesting.. Hmm...

Had a small discussion on birthday celebration for the October babies. I'm so looking forward to it! Like, 4 of us[Me, Kel, Fred and Joey] celebrating our birthdays together. I predict that its going to be very very fun! (:

2008-07-26T01:51:00.003+08:00

I got a very pleasant surprise at work today. Someone made a flower specially for me and gave it to me! Hahas.

Nahs, this is just a gift together with a very nice book from the Children's Cancer Foundation to all the nurses in the ward as a Nurses' Day gift. Lols. Yes, I know I think too much.

I'm so not going to eat chicken for the next few days. We ordered KFC during dinner at work. At 12plus just now, I complained to my mum that I was hungry and she told me to order macs. But because its only me, I didn't wanna order. So she and my dad offered to share 20 pc nuggets with me. Before it arrived at the doorstep, they have both fallen asleep. I'm on the verge of puking from the overdose of chicken.. ):

2008-07-21T23:19:00.002+08:00

MSN hates me! I cant seem to get a reply from anyone all of a sudden. And one of them told me that the screen had something like, 'Max messages sent' or something. Like, wth?

Came back from Yifeng's chalet yesterday evening. Had a great night there. Had like lots of fun playing and drinking and had lots of entertainment.

Couldn't get my off day today as there is training to attend. As usual, trainings are boring. Last day tomorrow. Then going back to the ward for 3 days and I'll get 2 off days during the weekends! Weeee~

2008-07-17T22:39:00.002+08:00

Sometimes I just dread going there.

Like, whether or not its really my fault, its my fault.

It gets irritating.

2008-07-17T17:48:00.004+08:00

2008-07-16T22:16:00.005+08:00

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY ELI PEH!

May you have many happy returns on this day. (:

I haven been able to upload the photos because the birthday boy havent send me the pictures yet.

Next birthday coming up is Yifeng's birthday. Her 21st birthday chalet next week! And the week after is Kleo's. I haven thought of what to buy her. Any celebrations this year? (:

2008-07-14T04:43:00.002+08:00

Weekend was fun.

Saturday was working in the morning and for once, I recieved no phone calls after work asking me about work-related stuff. Went to Raffles City Shopping Centre to buy Eli's birthday pressie. Few other people chipped in and we got him what he wanted for his birthday - a red polo shirt from Tommy Hilfiger. This kuku still can happily tell me that it's from Ralph Lauren before that. Lols.

Went to his birthday party at Pines Country Club today. Food was nice. And its a bbq without having me to bbq the food myself. Hahas. Went with the whole gang to Cineleisure for Pool session. Joey[Bao Bao] and me are really great partners in crime sia. Muahahahas. Freddy and Lynn was just too engrossed with Eli's and Kelvin's Monster Hunter game. I even won Freddy twice! But that was because Freddy Lai hit the black ball in two times in a row. Hahas.

Yi Feng's birthday chalet next week. (:

Pictures will be up after I recieve them.

2008-07-10T23:36:00.002+08:00

I cut my hair yesterday! Yes, I know it looks the same as before. But the fringe is shorter and different. The layers are more nicer now and its alot more... thinner? Lols. Anyway, I'm going back some time at the end of the month to change my highlights. Hehe.

Work haven been good. There are so so so much stress. It just feels like we're all working with a psycho. I wonder why.. But she really enjoys scolding people early in the morning.

Its the birthday month again. What's up with July la. Lols.

2008-07-08T00:17:00.003+08:00

Weekend was great.

Met up with Siyu, Zeyan, Shawn, Shahrul and Mr Edmund for brunch. Mr Edmund's treat! Haha. But his main purpose was for us all to meet up and catch up with each other. Had a great time. Zeyan's on her way to Australia already. Siyu's going to go tomorrow. Guess I'll miss her. Wanted to sms Zeyan to take care, but the usual forgetful and blur me forgotten all about it. I'm going to sms her and hopes she'll recieve it when she touches down, erm, later.

Slacked in town for awhile. Supposed to meet Eli for movies one. But he woke up late[as usual]. So, in the end, we just walked around town with Bernard and the rest. Went off in the evening to look for ChinnYi and Hanwei.

Next stop, KBOX! We initially planned to meet up for dinner. But since Chinnyi suggested Kbox in the end, we went there to sing from 7 all the way to 1130pm. Its been a long time since we last sat down and talk to each other already. And Hanwei's like going to NS in 3 days' time la! Gotta meet up with them more often.

there are a lot that i wanna say.

but i dunno why,

it feels that no one will understand..

2008-07-04T00:30:00.002+08:00

This week was tiring. I spent most of my days shopping, shopping and doing more shopping. Monday night was spent talking to Eli on the phone the whole night until close to 6am. Talked about a lot of things and realised how there are people around us who cannot be trusted. Talked about many other random topics. Been a long time since we last had a chat like this on the phone.

Went to work without sleeping at all on Tuesday morning. Was functioning well without feeling tired at all. Went to Far East Plaza to meet Kleo after work. Shopping around town and I finally bought my bag from m)phosis. Got tops from Mango and Cotton On. Spent way too much for the past few days. Gotta save!

Went out with a Clara, Dixie, Evelynn, Faith, Idayu and Venus after work today. Went for a meal at Sakura and we shopped around town - again. I never been to town this frequent before. Lols. Talked about many things and went to chill when we got tired of walking. Sat down at Coffeebean for awhile until Faith, Evelynn and Venus left. Dixie, Clara, Idayu and me then went to IndoChine to continue slacking. But I was way toooo tired. I couldn't keep up with the conversation anymore and was on low batt mode. Couldn't take it anymore and told them I'll leave and go out with them again another day.

Supposed to sms ChinnYi & Kleo and ask them where are we supposed to go on Sunday with Hanwei who's going in NS on 10 July. Gotta sms them tomorrow! Its been a long time since I last met up with Chinn Yi and Hanwei anyway.

Work tomorrow on afternoon shift. I'm so tired that I wanna take MC tomorrow... I feel like I'm falling sick. LOL.

2008-07-01T01:15:00.001+08:00

We know the rules to the game.

But when feelings are in, things go haywire.

And the bad news is, feelings cannot be controlled.

2008-06-29T21:41:00.002+08:00

I went on a shopping spree on Friday after getting my pay. And that retail therapy session didn't make me feel better. For some reason, I was alot more upset after the whole thing. It felt worse when Clara left me at Starbucks for that short 5 mins while she went to withdraw money from a nearby ATM machine. I dunno why.

I always thought it would make me feel better. I never thought this thing could hurt me so bad. So bad that.. I don't wanna talk about it. Talking about it might make me feel better, I know. But there are times when I don't wanna say. This time, talking about me makes me feel.. worse. I dunno why. I don't even know where to start.

I guess I'll be alright after awhile. Really.

2008-06-24T23:36:00.002+08:00

I was supposed to blog about this guy I saw at Queensway Mac with Eli some time last week. We went to study for our own tests and we saw this guy who had similiarites to Shi Long.

I was supposed to be concentrating when this group of guys walked over the table beside us caught my attention. The first time I saw him, he had the Shi Long face. Then as we were listening to their not-so-soft conversations, we realised how the sound alike when talking. Got the same... guai lan tone. LOL.

I guess it was quite obvious because we were trying really hard not to laugh out loud but we kept looking over to their table. Hahas.

So much for all the fun. Work have been fine so far. Reaching home later and later. And I realised work seem to end earlier when there is something planned for after-work. Weird. But I dunno why. On those days. work always end by 3pm.

2008-06-18T22:52:00.002+08:00

I'm done emo-ing. So, I'm a happy girl - again! Hehe.

Finally had the time to go for movies this few days. Watched "The Incredible Hulk" and "Kungfu Panda". Both are nice. Even though I'm not the kind who's into action-packed movies, I thought that The Hulk is nice.

"Kungfu Panda" is the typical kinda animation. Not as lame as I thought it would be. (:

Still thinking if I should go for the Camp Muse Sentosa outing this coming Saturday. People, wanna come?

2008-06-09T22:21:00.002+08:00

Its been a week. I've spent my weekdays working working and working. But the past weekend had been fun filled.

Went out on Saturday afternoon with Clara to get Majorie's birthday pressie. We got her a bear wardrobe and a few pieces of clothing for her bear from Build-a-bear. Its really preeeeeettttyyyy! Haha. Went over to my grandma's place after that for dinner. I had to go because it's been a long time since I went for a family gathering. Rushed over to NYP after that for SU camp.

Saw many familiar faces and had my share of fun. Went out of school with Eli and Kelvin to watch soccer at some kopitiam then to McDonald's. Initially, Shikin and Yifeng planned to come with us. But they decided not to in the end.

We played wet games on Sunday morning. We helped to make the water bombs early in the morning, starting at 0830. At 10am, the water bombs arent even done. My fingers were all sore and even had blisters after tying all the bags up. I was already drenched before the water war started. All thanks to Shi Long and Eli Peh.

Showered, rested awhile and went home to put down the big heavy bag and headed to Majorie's birthday party together with Dixie, Faith, Clara, Idayu, Zhang Xuan & Venus. Had lots of fun there. Helped her assemble her pretty bear wardrobe. She then took out her Wii and made all of us play with her one sport each. Boxing is really tiring. Especially when I haven slept at night. We ended the day with lots of photos.

Will upload the photos ater I get them from Majorie's dad! (:
I want all my weekends to be this fun!! No more working on weekends.. can? ):

2008-06-03T22:22:00.002+08:00

I finally cried today after I had a talk with her. I couldn't refute because it was a mistake I made. I dunno if I felt better but I still feel really upset.

And when she hugged me, stroked my hair and said, "Its okay, girl. You'll grow up after this incident. You'll grow to be a better nurse". At that point, I thought to myself, "perhaps she isn't all that bad". At that moment, she felt like a mother who still loves her child even after all the wrong the child had done.

I didn't tell my mum or my dad what happened. Its no longer like in the past, when I made a mistake in school I could go home and let my mum scold me and everything will be fine. I dunno how to tell them that I may not make it this time. Perhaps, its because a small part of me still hopes that I'll make still make it through.

2008-06-02T22:26:00.002+08:00

So many things have happened. Until now, I cannot even give myself a good answer to why it had happened.

I really dunno why.

I might not make it this time round. I still hope I do.

2008-05-25T01:10:00.004+08:00

Me and Shikin. Waiting to go into the auditorium.

Evon & me. With Catherine's hand.. -.-

Kleo & me. This is the 2nd time we're graduating tgt!! (:

Me & Jerryboy. The very first friend I made during my first attachment. (:

My mum and dad. I love the way how my dad gave me the bear when I walked out of audi to look for them. (:

Jessica & me. (:

Jessica, me, Yifeng & Kleo. (:

I'll miss them.. ):

Eli.

Hehe.

2008-05-22T22:13:00.003+08:00

22 May 2007 - Graduation Day.

Woke up as early as 6am to prepare for the day. Went down to Woodlands to meet Jess afterthat. We were supposed to report at 0830, but since her dad was kind enough to send us over, we had to go to school at about 0730. We settled down at Macs and ate breakfast. We even had the time to walk over to the toliet to make sure everything was neat and tidy.

Reported to the auditorium where everyone put on the gown and got their seat numbers and stuff. The whole thing lasted for 2 hours. The talks were boring, luckily the speakers kept them short and sweet.

After everything ended, all of us went out of the auditorium to snap snap snap. Its going to be hard to meet up with them all again..

Blogger's being a bitch. I can't upload the photos. Will do them asap. (:

*Photos up at the photo albums link,,, (:*

2008-05-19T22:13:00.002+08:00

Work was bad bad bad today. My mod was initially great. I even woke up early enough to take a bus to work instead of paying the cab uncles. But someone had to spoil the mood, everyone's mood. She's crazy crazy crazy. Everytime I get so mad, I wanna leave. Even when I was explaining myself, she said that I was arguing. -.-

Went out with my parents to VivoCity after work to get my formal wear on Thursday. It's all ready! Graduation is scary. Because that means I'm officially no longer a student. I can no longer look forward to 'school holidays'. And I hate that feeling.

Saw Elvin Ng[or isit Alvin Ng?] at VivoCity. He's better looking in person than on TV. Okay, random.

Work tomorrow again. Everytime when something happens in the ward, I don't look forward to going to work the next day. ):

2008-05-14T00:01:00.002+08:00

We've been split to so many teams. And we've all become selfish. Everyone just wants to finish their work fast. And we tend to forget that others who are very busy might need help. We no longer help our very own colleagues.

It feels weird. I feel selfish.

2008-05-11T23:13:00.002+08:00

Went out early in the morning to have Mothers' Day dim sum breakfast. Its been a long time I went for such breakfast. My dad's treat. (: The food was delicious. And we went past this place at Chinatown Point where it had pictures of Singapore in the olden days. My dad started telling us all about it. Haha. Typical dads I guess.

Went to Ikea after that as my sister has been complaining about her cupboard being too small. My parents went to take a look at the wardrobes for her while she is having fun in Europe. Ended up buying a bed for my dog and a few small boxes for me to put my small small stuff that are always lying around my table.

Went over to Jurong Point after that to shop for groceries with my parents. I saw this name chop at a push cart there which can put disney character on the cover. Since I needed one for work I ordered one with that person.

I was updating my blog when Clara gave me a link on YouTube. That little girl's voice is nice, really very nice. Now that I'm done with the video, I forgot what I wanted to blog about...

So I"ll update again when I'm free sometime next week!

2008-05-10T00:05:00.003+08:00

Last few days have been orientation. Saw an old friend there. Have been falling asleep for almost all the days. But I was wide awake today. Probably due to the fact that I slept for a whole 10 hours today. I had a really good rest last night.

See how bad Aini took this photo. =p Haha. But this is the only nice photo we took.

Kleo & me.

Me & Yi Jin.

One of the activities we did today. (:

Back to the ward on Monday! ):

2008-05-07T23:32:00.003+08:00

Went out with few of my colleagues today after my course. It was quite a last minute decision. Took a bus down to Orchard Far East to look for them. And I've finally trimmed my eyebrows at this place Faith recommended. Hmm, I'm quite pleased with the result. (:

Walked around Far East, Faith & Clara bought a pair of shoe each. Headed over to Paragon as Ida wanted to meet her uncle there. The girls said that the toliet there is very nice so they decided that we should take a photo in the toliet there. -.- Lols.

Sat down and slacked at Coffeebean to have a drink, rest and gossiped a little. Left about 9plus as we were all tired from work/orientation.

2008-05-04T00:17:00.002+08:00

For the past few times when she was beng unreasonable, I swallowed down the whatever unhappiness I had. But for this time, I'm really pissed. She wants me to do a reflection on the incident and write it in the reflection journal and she wants to see it. Obviously I have to write something along the lines of, 'I was wrong in doing that'. But I wasn't, why should I admit that?

I've been happy working in that ward. The seniors there are really nice. The kids there are really adorable. Its satisfying when I see them getting discharged, when I see that their bone marrow transplant is a success and when they get better.

At times like this, I wanna go ask for a transfer. But a small part of me still wanna stay..
And I guess the people there will make staying there feel better. (:

2008-04-28T22:13:00.002+08:00

I'm a happy girl for the past 2 days! Hehe. I finally got my Sony Vaio lappy in PINK. Even though that means that no more spending of cab fares when going to work and lesser shopping for the next few months, it'll be all over soon. It feels great when I'm buying things that I want for myself. (:

Work have been alright so far. Its been fun, fun and more fun. Even though it is still as busy and I still get the I-don't-wanna-go-work feel every morning. It gets better when I reach the ward and when I get to see all my colleagues and my babies. Hehe.

Have been going out alot during the weekends. Time to save some money.

2008-04-21T22:59:00.006+08:00

Meet my one-day old baby cousin - Vera Goh. (:

Managed to end work early even though it was really busy today. Went home in a cab with a colleague and slept all the way till the evening. I dunno why, the more I sleep, the more I am.

This week's roster is crazy. My one and only off day is on this coming Sunday. Straight after that is night shift. I shall go shopping since pay would already be in by then. Hehe.

2008-04-15T23:00:00.002+08:00

First night shift in the new ward tomorrow.

I'm starting to get used to work already. And the 2 PRC girls came today already. Angry angry. One of them went off for lunch without completing her job when all of us went on a empty stomach and had to rush to finish up her things for her.

But its so cold in the ward that my contact lens gets very dry by the end of the day. It doesn't help when I don't have enough sleep. My eyes still get red and a little puffy even if I remove them the moment I get home. ):

And because of this I couldn't go out and watch the movie I wanna catch. I don't care. I'm going to do so on the coming off days.

2008-04-10T22:37:00.002+08:00

It's been close to a week. Work has been okay so far. Being the only new nurse so far, I'm having all the attention from the nurses there and they have been teaching me alot alot. I guess when the sponsered students are back, I don't get to enjoy this privilege anymore.

This coming weekend is off days for me! Yay!

Roster out next week. Got a little peek of the roster.. And I saw next Saturday off as well! WooHoo~

In response to Eli's request, I was supposed to update about the previous entry. But then, after typing it out, I realised that it's not as funny when you read it off the screen. Haha.

And yes, they are still very funny when I think about them.

2008-04-07T01:19:00.005+08:00

Yeps, I cut my fringe a few days back. (:

Its 1.19am. I ought to be in bed already, considering the fact that I'm starting work tomorrow. Having too much fun today is not good. I don't feel like starting work again.

Arbor Products.
Getting lost in Marina Square while looking for Starbucks.
Flower lookalike durian picture.
Weird guy driving in the middle of CityLink at 1030pm.
LOL.

But the thought of work starting tomorrow spoils all the fun.

Went to watch "Shutter" on Saturday. The US version is not as good as the Thailand one. The Thailand one was more cary because it kept the suspense until the end. This one was scary already halfway through. So not as good. Hahas.

That's how kuku the uniform looks.

2008-03-31T01:45:00.004+08:00

My weekend was well-spent.

I spent the whole of Friday working at a health fair, recommended by Zeyan. The job was just to prick the fingers of the people like how I would do it when doing blood glucose test. Pay wasn't that bad. And the people there were great! (:

Then I went out on Saturday evening to catch "Rule #1". I heard about how nice the show is. But it wasn't really that great afterall. There were some parts which was lame. But the scary parts were really quite scary. Overall was okay only.

Went out with my parents today early in the morning to go tomb-sweeping. Spent the evening shopping at VivoCity because my brother wanted to buy something from there initially. But we ended up buying quite alot of things. Spent the night at McDonald's slacking with Eli because he needed to buy something needed for his OBS.

One more week to go. And I'll be starting work. Feels like I'm counting down to attachment lah~

2008-03-25T23:10:00.002+08:00

Have been going out for the past few days. Been heading town to stalk people. LOL.

Went to watch "Be kind, rewind" today. Quite a nice show. But the ending quite lame. The show ended quite abruptly.

Going K with Jess and the rest tomorrow.

2008-03-20T00:24:00.002+08:00

I'll be going down to NUH tomorrow, or rather, later to collect my uniform and do my medical check up. For the past few days, I've been thinking what isit like to be working. My holidays is ending in about 3 weeks time.

It may not be my first job. But its my first full-time job. A small part of me don't want to step out into the working life. I'll no longer have friends to turn to when I need help at work. It's no longer about having no stress.

I dread working. I really do. ):

2008-03-15T02:08:00.005+08:00

Headed out for the past two days. Supposed to meet SOMEONE at Tanjong Pagar on Thursday to eat lunch and make ez-link card. But that person was late. AND ate lunch first without telling me. Lol. Couldn't make the card in the end so we toured around the west side of Singapore and settled down at Plaza Singapura in the end.

Went back to school today to buy my transcript. The school is irritating. I went down myself to take the thing still must pay money. And they give different information to different people. First, they told me it wouldn't be send over and gotta collect myself. Then they told Jess gotta fax dunno what thing first. Later, they told Zeyan send in 3 weeks time. Zzz.

Going to find my way to SNB on Monday. Dun even know where "College Road" is. I search online and I cant see any MRT stations near that building. Good luck to me. Haha.

2008-03-10T02:30:00.002+08:00

Went to Evon's 21st birthday party @ Aloha Loyang just now. Reached Pasir Ris at around 4plus and I finally ate Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey. Was craving for that ice cream for sometime already. Haha.

Zeyan, Shahrul, Siyu & Royston were the first to reach there. So we sat around and played like, 3 rounds of mahjong when we decided to stop playing.

It's been sometime since I last went to a chalet. It's time for some planning! Hehe.

2008-03-06T00:04:00.003+08:00

See what has boredom done to me and my brother.. We cam-whored while waiting for my mum and dad at IMM.

Watched "Meet the Spartans" and "Leap Years" earlier this week.

"Meet the Spartans" was funny. The lame kinda funny.
"Leap Years" was nice. But it was a little bit too draggy.

Went to town with Kleo today to search for Evon's birthday present. We ended up looking for things for ourselves and slacking at Lido and Spinelli.

Met up with Eli later in the evening as he was in town to fix his phone.
Stupid him made me do illegal stuff in Borders. *sigh* Why do I have sucha friend? Lols.

2008-02-29T03:17:00.002+08:00

Holidays have been alright for me so far. But a little too much of rotting at home. Lols.

Life have been so monotonous that I dunno what I should blog about everyday.

Other than watching Jumper a week ago and going to town a few days back, I have been spending time to go shopping with myself.

2008-02-19T01:16:00.002+08:00

My parents are back from Turkey early in the morning at 930am today. The fact that I only slpet at 6am made it worse. They were trying that utmost best to wake me up which got me very pissed.

Spent the last few days at youtube watching the show "Bull Fighting" which starred Mike He and Hebe. Waiting for the last few episodes to be uploaded. Overall, quite a nice show. That should explain why I havent been talking online much these days.

Got a call from NUH when I was still sleeping in the afternoon. A call to ask me to go down to collect my uniform and to have my medical check up on one of the days during March. And it finally dawned upon me that my life as a student has ended. She also told me that due to their printing error, I can choose to report to work either in April or May.

I cant decide. Really. Starting work early means having one month less of holidays. But starting work later also means one more month of doing nothing. Sigh.

2008-02-15T00:10:00.003+08:00

Its valentine's day again. Didn't go anywhere special.

My date this year? My best friend. Someone whom I'm not romantically involved with again. Haha.

Chinese New Year had been great. Went house visiting as usual. Collected lots of angbaos. Won lots of money through gambling with my relatives. Great way to start the year. Woohoo~

Supposed to go watch midnight show on eve. But yea, I had to give it a miss. stayed at home to help my parents shou shui. And I had my dog to accompany me. Haha.

Invited lots of people to my house on the fourth day. Overnight mahjong! Had lots of fun with the bunch of people. My wallet suffered a lot though. I guess its the fun that matters. :)

2008-02-05T23:59:00.000+08:00

Friday [o1 February 2oo8]

Went back to school for briefings. Boring. The only highlight of the day was being able to see everyone else again in school.

Went out with YiFeng, Jess, Ivan and Eli after that. To town.

Saturday [o2 February 2oo8]

Went to Sentosa for Ambrose's birthday celebration after much persuasion. Reached only in the afternooon because I had to pack up my room before I was allowed to go out. It was raining the whole day there. It kinda spoilt the mood la. Went back to habourfront with the rest and had BK for lunch.

Took this when the rest of them went to shower.

Sunday [o3 February 2oo8]

Spring cleaning! Threw away things that I no longer needed and shifted the computer to my table. I havent gotten the New Year mood yet. Maybe its because its right after attachments and everything is like done last minute, even the shopping of new year clothes.

Went to IMM's HK Cafe with my parents and brother for dinner. For the first time, I felt that their service is bad.

We got bored from waiting for the food to arrive.

2008-02-01T00:26:00.000+08:00

And so, today marks the end of my 12-week long PRCP. I had fun in the ward and learnt alot from the nurses. It was weird towards the end of the day knowing for the next 2 months, I'll won't be going to that place. It was weird when we said bye and we couldn't say, see ya tomorrow. Perhaps, our paths may not cross again. It'll be hard meeting up with each other again. So yea, all the best to you guys. =)

That's the last time we'll be in uniform. We were helping out with the packing up of the new ward. I'll miss her. Seriously. For the last 4 and a half months, I've seen her at every attachment. From the nothing-to-talk-about break times to the can-talk-about-almost-everything break times.

And I'll miss them too! =)

I'm so excited about tomorrow. Its been some time since I last saw everyone in school! Hehe.

2008-01-12T03:35:00.000+08:00

I'm at work now. Yes, doing night shift. Using the computer, surfing the computer and chatting online. Its only 4am and I'm already yawning. I predict a busier day for tomorrow's night shift.

Spent my off day yesterday in school helping out in the Singapore Book of Records event. Was really tiring but alot of fun.

I wanna go for Lynn's birthday bbq. I'll be bored tomorrow at work, knowing that the bunch of them is having fun at Pasir Ris park.

Another 19 more days to go. Yippie!

2008-01-10T04:29:00.000+08:00

Its 430am and I'm in school. Wide awake. I dunno why, but I cant get to sleep. I'm tired from all the work I've done during attachment, from all the rushing to and fro places and from all the games we played just now. But I just cant get to sleep.

I dunno why, but I've been feeling grumpy. Really grumpy. So grumpy that I can actually be angry and throw my tantrum at almost anyone.

Lynn's celebrating her birthday this coming Saturday at Pasir Ris park. I cant make it. To think that it's actually because of work makes me even more sian. So sian that I'm actually reconsidering the decision I've made to stay in nursing. Its like, I'll miss all these fun with friends, cant celebrate birthdays and cant go out as and when I feel like it. And I hate that.

Jun Jian's beside me doing his soldering. And it just feels nice having someone beside me. Haha. Its just nice knowing there's someone else who is wide awake just like me.

2008-01-06T22:55:00.000+08:00

I'm not going back to the past.
Its been tough walking away alone.

I'm not going to let history repeat itself.
Leave me alone, will you?

2008-01-02T22:11:00.000+08:00

Spent my New Year's Eve afternoon at work. Rushed over to my aunt's place for her late-xmas-cum-new-year party. Sat and ate a little bit of food before I went off to meet Eli, Fred, Lynn, Zhiming and Eechin at Esplanade to watch the fireworks.

We only managed to meet up with Zhiming and Eechin after the whole thing ended because we really couldn't find them at all. But they also left earlier. Slacked at Starbucks @ RafflesCity until 4am when Freddy Lai complained that he was hungry again. Lols. Macs was the only 24-hour place that we can think of. So the four of us walked all the way to the Macs @ Shaw Towers. *wonder who's good idea was that..*

Left the place around 730am. Was dead tired and fell asleep straightaway after I reached home.

Woke up and helped to paint my bedroom on New Year's Day. Its now in a shade of pink that me and my sister likes alot! Gotta start packing my things because CNY is coming in one month's time. WooHoo~

2007-12-26T00:01:00.000+08:00

My Christmas ended just like that.. ):

I spent the first half of my Christmas eve in the ward working. We were allowed to leave half an hour early so that gives me more time to prepare! Went home straight and started preparing for the rest of my night.

Went down to Bugis and met up with Eli, Fred, Lynn, Joey and Leong Chun. Watched "I am Legend". The show was nice. And it ended at 12mn. So much for planning to countdown after the movie. We all then walked over to Paradiz where the guys played billard[or was it snooker?] while me and Lynn had a short game of Bishi Bashi at the arcade.

Supposed to leave the place at 2am because I didn't tell my mum properly that I actually intended to stay out the whole night. That resulted in quite a few phone calls that was asking me to go home soon.

The rest left for home after the game while me and Eli slacked at Starbucks @ TheCathay because he had to wait for Jay, Matthew, JJ and his girlfriend. He didn't say he was with me and I was planning to leave before they came but I saw them while I was on my way to the restroom.

They were all tempting me to stay for that 2-3 more hours because of the expensive cab fare. But yet, I guess 4am was the limit. My mum said she was staying up. So no choice, gotta leave for home.

I gotta go back to work tomorrow. ):

2007-12-21T00:02:00.000+08:00

I was late for work today. I woke up at 12pm when work starts at 12pm.
And the best part is, I stepped into the ward and saw one of the sisters on duty.
But, she didn't scold me or whatsoever. Phew.

Work was relaxing today. I guess because its a public holiday. And there was only 3 patients in the whole ward. Wee~

CHINNYI! I MISS YOU! Please tell me you'll be free soon. =(

2007-12-19T22:34:00.000+08:00

6 more weeks to go! Tomorrow's a public holiday and I've gotta work. What makes it worse is that, I'm the only student on afternoon shift. sigh~

At least I've got my Christmas and New Year's days off. The rest weren't that lucky.

I'm so looking forward to the end of the 6 weeks. Why did the school extend the PRCP from 6 weeks to 12? double sigh~

I haven shopped for christmas gifts yet. Last weekend I was stuck at home due to the rashes I've got over the weekends. How great. And after I've spent $40 at the doctor's on Sunday, it recovered completely on Monday morning. The doctor didn't even give any medicine for the rashes. It was some anti-itch medication some more. Now they're lying on my table, untouched. Zzz.

I'm only left with one weekend to do so. Scratch that. I only have one day left to do so. Saturday night is dinner at my grandma's place. For the tang yuan festival.

2007-12-15T01:32:00.000+08:00

I survived my night shifts! Now I know why nurses actually don't mind doing night shifts and some even request for permanent night shift. If everyone is well and okay, its not busy. The only busy times are medication times. So yups, I enjoyed my night shifts.

My first night was alot more happening though. I spiked a bag of blood that was prepared for infusion with a staff nurse. I helped her hold the end of the line as that one cannot put on any surface to prevent contamination. She was clearing the air and she happily let the blood run which resulted in overflowing and the bottom right of my uniform got the blood. Eew. Spent the first hour trying to wash off the blood.

Second night.. we were allowed to use the MSN there. Haha. So it was more like, spending my night in the hospital and not working. =x

So after two nights, I'm having my weekends off. Wee~ Going to spend the weekends doing my christmas shopping with my mum. Hehe. =)

2007-12-12T00:23:00.000+08:00

Haven been updating because life have been pretty mundane. Its all about going for attachments and heading home as fast as possible to rest early. What makes it worse is that, all my shifts for the past week is all afternoon shifts. How nice. Afternoon shifts are the worse. I cant even plan to do anything.

Worked on last Sunday. Surprisingly, Sundays aren't that busy. Afterall, the doctors don't come in on Sundays to look at the patients unless something realli happens to them. But time passed so slowly for me that day. Reason being I went to work with only having slept for a short 2 hours. Report taking was the worse part. I dozed off.

And I've got to report to work for this coming Hari Raya Haji. I'm praying hard that time will pass as quickly as it did on Sunday. I've asked them to leave my Christmas PH alone. So yea, I can have fun! YAY!

2007-11-28T22:33:00.000+08:00

Its been two weeks since I updated. And that means, two weeks have passed since the start of PRCP. Woohoo~ 9 and half more weeks to go! I'm so looking forward to 1st February. Will that day arrive when I say, "Like now"? LOL,

I'm missing school. I'm missing my friends. I'm missing the cheap mac. I'm missing the yummy sandwiches. I'm missing the nice bubble tea with nata de coco or pearls.

Attachments have been alright so far. Made new friends that would most probably be colleagues that I'll be working with when I pass out if I become a nurse.

Have been going out and have fun for the past few weekends. And this coming weekend is planned with activities already! Wahaha. The stress level in the ward is too high. Gotta go out and unwind during the weekends.

2007-11-15T01:07:00.000+08:00

PRCP started on Monday. Was having orientation ever since then. I was worrying so much about the oncology ward for nothing. Turns out that I'll still be in the General Paeds for a month first. But I still gotta complete this checklist by the onco ward by the end of 3 months.

Orientation makes me sleepy. All the talks by the different sisters of the Paeds side.

Was talking to Lynn on MSN today and she was telling me about her plans of having a chalet on her birthday. I'm so excited. Seriously. Because that's the only plan so far for my next 3 months. Even Christmas and New Year's plans aren't up yet. sigh.

And just when I'm typing this, she asked me about Christmas plans. LOL.

Going off to bed already. Totally random post~

*If you wanna comment that I'm rude, please check on your own attitude first.*

08 November 2007

Spent my day with Eli, Freddy and Lynn. Planned to go Mind Cafe in the early afternoon. But yea, we were all late. Walked around Plaza Singapura while waiting for them.

Went to the food court for a drink with Eli while waiting for Fred and Lynn. And while we were both clearing out wallets of receipts, I realise I spent alot on taking cabs when I can just use the public transport.

Trained down to Tanjong Pagar with them because Lynn had a singing class to attend there. Ate at BK while waiting for her to finish her lesson. Finally headed over to Mind Cafe and spent 2hours there.

Eli was the sole loser for this particular bluff game. LOL.

Fred: "Toad!"

Eli: "Bluff!" *Confident*

*FLips card over* A toad!

Lesson learnt from the night?: Freddy Lai do say the truth sometimes! Lols.

We waited for a whole half an hour for the bus! This was what we did while waiting for the bus to come..

The bus was filled with people and it almost broke down. -.-

2007-11-07T21:05:00.000+08:00

This week is so far, very good.

Monday - 05 November 2007..

Rested at home the whole day. Decided to spend some time with myself. I walked alone to the supermarket, shopped there and walked home again. I went to buy ingredients to bake cookies. I had this suden urge to bake. But, I have a really bad habit. I like baking cookies but I don't like eating my own cookies.

Tuesday - 06 November 2007..

Went out with Eli to CityLink to buy that nice notebook. As usual, he was late for a whole 2 and half hours. I guess I'm just easy to coax. The anger didn't last for more than an hour. Walked around HMV and went to Prints to get the notebooks. Went for dinner at Pastamania, slacked there for a tiny while and headed home.

Wednesday - 07 November 2007..

Went back to school with Jess. Intended to study and yea, I only managed to revise a tiny bit on Chemotherapy drugs. The rest of the time was spent on chatting and eating lunch and snacks. Lols. Went home only in the evening when the school decided to cut the electricity at South Canteen suddenly.

12weeks of PRCP.. starting in just 4 days' time.

I guess.. I'll be able to survive through that 12 weeks.

2007-11-02T02:06:00.000+08:00

On my way to attachment..

And yea, one last day.
One week of holidays.
People, ask me out! Lols.

2007-11-01T00:47:00.000+08:00

It still feels weird looking into the mirror, seeing my hair all black.

Dinner with Eli, Joey and YeSeng at J8 after going back to school to photocopy stuff and to meet them. Rushed down to Pasir Ris with Eli aftertt for Freddy's party!

Went to the halloween party organised by Freddy and Lynn. Dunno the people there, so the three of us together with their classmate, Chun Hua played Daidee.

Didn't reeally dress up for the party, and I know what Eli dressed up as!

Insurance Agent! LOL.

Look at the dark eye rings. They were visible by the end of the day.

2007-10-28T15:59:00.000+08:00

We started the night by walking over to macs to buy food and drinks. We then spent the night sharing songs on iTunes, chatting online, played mahjong, daidee, UpWords, chatted awhile and they dozed off to sleep.

The best part was, I tried waking them up and they didn't want to. And when I fell asleep myself, they came and wake me up after just one hour of sleep. -.- LOL.

And we spent the morning eating breakfast, watching telly and slacking at the living room.

Look at Fred's "just-woke-up-still-blur" look. HAHA.

And yea, they were concentrating on some cartoon. -.-
