sigh.

a very happy new year to everyone.
both the REAL new year and the CHINESE new year. XD
yeSs i know its late. sorry.

lately im entering a period of emotional disturbance. i think there's just too much going on. its pretty scary but im aware of this fact, so yea i try not to let it get in the way of things.but there are a few people i really wanna thank for listening to all my stories.
                      thanks to ivan and ken especially.
a lot of thanks and thanks and sincere gratitude.
i really appreciate all that youve done.
from the bottom of my heart.

and stop thinking abt all those times.

 its surprising how a person's mood can fluctuate so much within days, hours, minutes, and even seconds. like sam said, just one word from a  person can put you high above the clouds, or straight down a bottomless pit.

and since two nights ago. ive been floating. gloating rather, at the thought of everything. i will be planning my journey. even that thought seems pretty far away. im starting to count towards end of module. start of path week. i cant wait. cant wait. CANT WAIT. 

i love my cousin. cuz hes opening up to me. hahaha. or rather, im digging news outta him.
and he sends me nice songs.
and i miss him tOoOoooo.

perhaps i shall update with some pics. with what i did when i was on night shift last weekend. (i did put them up on facebook so if youve seen them, you dont hafta see again) A&E was really boring the 3 nights when i was on call. so we entertained ourselves with Scrabble and photo taking and a late night movie in Leceister Sq.
                                         

 

the past few weeks have been so hectic that i kinda forgot the people who care abt me and those whom i care abt. somehow, the dim sum lunch today just brought back floods of memories of people and things. and i suddenly realised how much ive missed those i love. 

lets start.
i miss those times in kbox, whoever they were with;
i miss the anxiety of sitting in "i-just-got-my-license-and-im-proud-of-it" friends' cars, whoever was driving;
i miss the frantic search of worthy clothes and bags and accessories in sales in the midst of a hundred other kiasu singaporeans;
i miss crashing at NUS, watching eager freshers of my age (and possibly older) skipping in excitement to lecture halls, feeling darn old in the meantime;
i miss drinking in CHIJMES while watching the most uninteresting game of football on big screen;
i miss walking around aimlessly for hours on the same street (namely orchard road) trying to find something worth buying that is within my narrow budget and high expectations;
i miss cabbing home with a familiar singlish speaking driver at midnight, not wanting to think abt the late night charges at the same time;
i miss sitting in cineplex drinking milkshakes and smoothies while waiting for the movie;
i miss being able to speak english and chinese AND singlish WITHOUT being self conscious of how i sound;
i miss the great barley water with beancurd skin at the restaurant-i-cant-rmb-the-name-of;
i miss laksa, chicken rice, nasi lemak, roti prata - basically kopitiam.
                                                                          sigh. too many.

i miss everyone from home. 
i miss everyone from concord, ok maybe not EVERYONE from there, but some special people from there.

anyway. ive been meeting people that i havent seen in a long time recently. its weird how i just bump into/meet them at the most unexpected times. becky, trang, kuang, nick, mo, jacky, michelle, susan... ok not that many now that ive named them.

sigh. 8:30 start again tomorrow. i shall stop skiving like today. i will be up for that.
yes. I WILL.
nites.

PS: pls tag in tagboard.

 HELLO! did everyone miss me?  alright. i kinda realised that im someone who actually cant live without a blog (yea thats how sad i am). well actually thats just number one of the ten billion reasons for coming back on xanga. then i found out that there are people who actually read my xanga cuz theyve been asking for updates (so why ddnt you guys make your presence known everytime you come?!).

anyway. lifes normal as usual. except that ive entered the clinical year of my FAVOURITE course. oh and that i came back last night to find a flooded bathroom (like literally, even the carpets outside the door was soaked). probably because some idiot ddnt realise that the water level was getting kinda high while showering? um. then there are the new students moving into the halls cuz school term officially starts tomorrow (even though i started 3 weeks already). oh right. and then my point was to tell you guys why i should stop going out, cuz everytime i do that, i eat too much and that makes me feel sick. not to mention that it makes me wallet FLAT.

so i had a 4.5 day weekend cuz we were finally given a damn break by the school after 2.5 weeks of "intensive" training on our practical skills. i think it wasnt the break's fault cuz i started going out before that anyway. erm lets do a run through.

last fri: haagen daz + movie (THE BLACK DHALIA - did anyone watch that? cuz i ddnt get it) + dinner with marvin.
last sat: vivian's birthday at this korean restaurant.
last sun: dinner of red snapper near jasmin's place.
mon: andrea's birthday at kobe jones.
tue: FINALLY a day of rest. (cuz i had OSCE - basically its a test - on wed morning)
wed: oxf circus shopping + dinner at chinatown with irene
thurs: oxf circus shopping + dinner + drinks at rubyblue with edwin, irene, viv
fri: dinner at chinatown + haagen daz with edwin, jennshuin, des, eeling, yeosoon
     PLUS another late dinner with zd, kuang and feiyu.
sat: convent garden shopping + dinner with irene again
sun (today): lunch + movie (CHILDREN OF MEN)  with jas & singwei

was that a packed week or what? and i think my account has really got a very very very negative balance. and surprisingly my weight hasnt gone up. YET. we shall see.

oh. oh. oh. i woke up at 8 to go to church today! i went to a sunday service at All Souls. it was such a great experience! i love the hymns. wow. and i saw some people that i know. then i met Becky tOo! sometimes i wonder why someone like her can be so devoted to church. a cambridge graduate who took 2/3 yrs off to volunteer full-time at church. wow. its like. WOW. but anyway, my point is that everyone should go to church (if you havent already) to experience service once or sth. its a really different experience. plus you get meet a lot of really friendly people. :):):)

yep. and just to finish off. i shall put up a few pics.

oh man.. i really dun wanna start my Pathology week nx week. a week full of lectures and tutorials. sigh. and then the real work starts on 2nd Oct. haha cant wait to go into action! FULL action. im starting with Medical Assessment Unit, which is sth like A&E. oh man. i hope they let us do blood taking, cuz i really duno how to do that yet! ahahha. i need more practice on real people. haha. right anyway. will do another update soon.
