~ Final Recaps... ~ 8:50:00 pm

Oh wow... It's already the last day of June... Finally I'm gonna start working tomorrow... *Whoopee!*... After like so long... *Haha*... Finally, I will be donning the TTSH staff nurse uniform, the TTSH name tag and bunning up of hair (I hate this)... And of course, I can no longer blog as often as I always do...

Anyway, just a recap on what I have done for my 2 months of holiday... *Mind you, the word 'holiday' will never exist in my life anymore now*...

1) Slacked around at home... Practically lazing around...
2) Did some cooking...
3) Baked some cookies...
4) Out with the girls...
5) Read lots and lots and LOTS of books... I think I've read about 7 books in all... Mainly were Malay novels... *Hee*...
6) Short getaway to Malacca...

Very little I know... But at least, I enjoyed myself...

And now, I'm ready for my new life...
TTSH, here I come... Wish me luck!! =D

~ From Malacca, With Love ~ 11:13:00 pm

Finally, I have set my life back straight... Well, almost... I guess that I still have a long way to go but the personal reflection really helped me a lot... Made me more aware of myself and the people around me...

Anyway, it felt really good to get away from my boring usual daily life in Singapore and to the new environment of Malacca... Even though it was only for 3 days, it was no doubt that I did enjoy this trip especially since I will be starting work in *gasp* 2 days time...

Malacca, one of the states in Malaysia, is filled with histories dated back all the way to the 14th century... From the time of the Sultans and Hang Tuah, where keris were still the main weapons of the people, to the ruling of the Portuguese, the Dutch and finally, the British, where guns and cannons were the main toys to fight any intruders to the state... And together with Singapore and Penang, it became the Straits Settlement controlled by the East India Company during the British ruling...

See guys... I still haven't forgotten my history lessons yet!! *Haha*...

Alright... Here are the details of my Malacca Trip...

Day 1 (Sunday, 26/6/2005)

Left the house @ 7am... Took a cab down to the Bus Interchange at Lavender St... Well, we reached there quite early, about 7.35am, given that the time of the bus departure is at 8.30am... The bus journey? Except during the time when we had to alight at the Immigrations and the stop for a short break, I was practically sleeping all the way from Singapore to Malacca... *Hehe*... It was expected since I did not catch a wink AT ALL the night before...

Reached Melaka Sentral Terminal @ 1pm... Upon reaching, we immediately bought the bus tickets for the trip home which was on Tuesday afternoon... Proceeded to get a cab to Emperor Hotel, the place which we stayed during our trip... Oh yeah, the cab driver was actually a Chinese Baba but he spoke such fluent Malay... *Oh gosh, I'm so ashamed of myself... Hehe*... A real friendly man...

1414 and 1416 was our room numbers... We were given the rooms on the 14th level... The view from our hotel room was very panoramic... Could see the Straits of Malacca from the hotel room... And there wasn't much high-rise buildings so honestly, to me, the view looked less stressful and more peaceful...

Anyway, after getting some precious rest, we decided to head to Mahkota Parade, one of the shopping centres in Malacca... We actually thought that the place is quite near so we decided to set there by foot... And after walking about half an hour under the hot sun, we only managed to reach the Christ Church and the Stadthuys, the few main attractions of Malacca... All of us were already panting and perspiring by then... Thankfully, one of the trishaw pakciks approached us and asked where we wanted to go... So we told him and he said that it would take us about 20-30 minutes if we were to continue walking... And of course, he offered to take us there by the trishaw at only RM10... Not an opportunity to be missed, we took up the offer... And it was my first time riding a trishaw!! It was extremely fun and cool... Honestly, I wouldn't mind riding on it again... After all, I've always wanted to ride on a trishaw and finally, my wish is fulfilled... *Hehe*... Along the way, we did managed to sightsee a bit...

Well, Mahkota Parade is very much like the shopping centres in Singapore... Very up-to-date with a bowling centre and movie theatre... Didn't get anything much since I didn't have much money with me... But we did buy a lot of snacks back to the hotel, especially since there is NOTHING in the hotel fridge... *Haha*... Left the place at about 7.40pm and Malacca is still quite bright at that time... Headed back to our hotel rooms and had a good night rest... Well, of course, not without a flu... Worse part, I had to breathe through my mouth since both my nostrils were blocked...

Day 2 (Monday, 27/6/2005)

Sightseeing day!! Had our breakfast at around 9am... After breakfast, we decided to hire a cab for a day... Initially, we wanted a small van with a tour guide but since it was quite draining for our wallets and pockets, we settled for a cab instead... RM25 per hour was quite a reasonable price... Anyway, again the cab driver was a Chinese Baba who spoke fluent Malay... *And again, I'm ashamed of myself... HAHA*... He actually doubled as our tour guide too... So I think that this is a much better deal... *Hehe*...

Firstly, he brought us around the Malacca Town... Showed us the Kampung Hulu's Mosque, Sri Poyyatha Vinayagar Moorthi Temple, Kampung Kling's Mosque, Cheng Hoon Teng Temple and Jonker Walk... Stopped by Hang Kasturi and Hang Jebat's Mausoleum or in Malay, Makam Hang Kasturi dan Hang Jebat...

Finally, our first real stop was at the Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum... We got to learn the lifes of the Babas and Nyonyas during the past era till now... Very rich in culture...
P.S. We weren't allowed to take any photographs there but both me and my sis managed to sneak a few... *Hiak hiak*...

Next, the cab driver drove us along the coastal lines of Malacca... From our cab, we could see fishermen going out to sea, catching fishes to be sold for their daily expenses... But one thing I can tell, the fishes are definitely fresh!! And then, we headed to Makam Hang Tuah or Hang Tuah's Mausoleum... It is located away from Malacca Town so we had to travel quite a distance...

Next up, A'Famosa... It was actually the fortress built by the Portuguese in 1511... It was nearly destroyed entirely by the Dutch but it was saved with intervention by Sir Stamford Raffles... We had to climb quite a number of steps to the top which was actually St Paul's Church... The view from the top of the hill was just exhilarating and breath-taking... Back to A'Famosa, there was one artist who was making a living by selling his paintings just by using pen... And the paintings, which are mainly the attractions in Malacca, are just superb and exquisite... Despite mostly were prints, it looked really great... In the end, he offered an original painting and 2 prints at only, believe it or not, RM20... The original price of an original painting was actually RM50... So, imagine the bargain we got...

Next was the Melaka Sultanate Palace... Wasn't the real palace though, was just a replica based on the description and reference to the Sejarah Melayu or Malay Annals... Looked really grand though... Anyway, I could imagine myself being a princess running through the garden with my dayang-dayang, singing along to songs ala-Hindustan... *HAHA... What a wishful thinking!!*

It was then followed by a trip to the Maritime Museum... The museum was constructed after 'Flor De La Mar', a Portuguese galleon which sank in the Straits of Melaka on its way to Portugal with its ship filled with invaluable treasures stolen from Malacca... Was shaped exactly like the real one... We then went to the shops opposite the museum, selling handicrafts... Managed to get a few... =)

The next stop was the Crocodile Farm which was located at Ayer Keroh, quite a distance from Malacca Town... It was actually upon my dad's request that we headed there... Nothing much... Only crocodiles and reptiles... *Hehe*... And oh yeah, we actually fed the turtles popcorns!! But they ate it... Maybe they were too hungry... In fact, one of the turtles was overturned by another one as they fought for the popcorn... Pitying the one that was overturned, I decided to give it a big one... *Hehe*... And don't worry, it managed to turn itself back...

Oh yeah, I actually wanted to take kereta lembu or a bullock cart ride but since everyone was so tired, we decided not too... Well, I couldn't hide my disappointment... And yes, till now, I'm still bugging my parents and sis that I didn't get to ride on a kereta lembu... Still as whiny as ever!! *Haha*... So much so that my mum wanted to give me a keychain with the kereta lembu, but nothing beats sitting on a real one!

Our final destination was Hang Tuah's well... By the way, Hang Tuah is actually one of the greatest warrior during the reign of the Sultan of Melaka... Anyway, the well was built by Hang Tuah and his four friends; Hang Jebat, Hang Kasturi, Hang Lekiu and Hang Lekir... According to the cab driver, the well never dries up even during a draught... Tried to get some water from the well, but honestly, I have no skill... *Haha*... Failed to retrive water from it...

Finally reached the hotel at 6pm... Had some rest and we then headed to the roadside stalls to have our dinner... Oh thank goodness, my stomach is still working fine and well now... No diarrhoea or food poisoning... *Hehe*... Headed back to the hotel, watched some Cantonese movie on the TV before drifting of to slumber land...

Day 3 (Tuesday, 28/6/2005)

Woke up quite late... Had breakfast at 9.30am... Well, we didn't do anything much on that day since both me and my sis felt extremely tired... Decided to coop up inside the room until we finally had to check-out @ 11.30am... Took a cab down to Melaka Sentral Terminal... Oh yeah, guess what! I had A&W's there... Something that you can no longer find in Singapore... Gosh, really missed their Root Beer Float, ice-cream waffles, Coney Dog and Curly Fries... *Yummy!!*... Finally boarded the bus @ 2.30pm... So it was GOODBYE MALACCA... Was sleeping again throughout the bus journey... And my butt felt so sore after sitting down for like 3 1/₂ hours... *Haha*... Reached home at about 6.45pm... *Home Sweet Home*...

Honestly, I wished I could stay there longer but too bad, time doesn't permit us to... Whatever it is, I did enjoy myself... *WEE!!*...

P.S. Pictures will be uploaded soon... Just too lazy to do so!! *Haha*...

Time check: 1.13am...
Oh wow... It took me exactly 2 hours to blog this entry...
Goodnight everyone!!

~ Soul Searching & Personal Reflection ~ 12:09:00 am

With effect from tonight, I have decided to shut my world away temporarily from everyone else...

I just need to do some soul-searching and personal reflection on myself... I want to find out the problem with me...

I'm just hopeful that it wouldn't take long...

~ It's Official!! ~ 8:15:00 pm

Finally... I'm officially a staff in TTSH...

Anyway, seeing the word "Staff" underneath my name makes a whole lot of difference... No longer "Student"... And yeah... My dad's name is not in either... My name is not too long what... Furthermore, I remembered writing my full name on the form... *Sigh*... Whatever lah...

And the first time ever in my life, I stepped into a karaoke lounge... Actually, my purpose was just to see what it was like with my own eyes... Well, very much what you see in the TVs... Anyway, I finally know how Fione & Evelyn's patterns are when they are singing karaoke... *I need earplugs!! HAHA!!*... Did practice my voice (erm!!) by joining in too... *Hehe*... Sang a couple of English songs and a Malay song... Was kinda surprised that they actually have Malay songs in a Chinese KTV... Nonetheless, I really enjoyed myself and I think they may have got me hooked... *Ahaha*...

10 days and counting down to the first day of work!!

~ A Walk Down Memory Lane of My JI Days ~ 6:48:00 pm

Actually wrote this sometime ago while I was taking a break from blogging and chatting... Happened to listen to the song and suddenly, I just felt like writing about it... Well, it's a super long entry so it's up to each individual to read it or not... I just wanted to pen it down so that I can remember it when one day, my memory starts failing me... =)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Kokomo' by Beach Boys... This is the song that brings back lots of fond memories during my 3 months Pre-U stint at then-Jurong Institute (now known as Milenia Institute)... How I missed those days...

I still remembered how reluctant I was to go to school on the first day because to my knowledge, I was the only one from my secondary school that was posted to JI... Kinda regretted then to have requested to attend the 3 months Pre-U... And that was when I almost got knocked down by a taxi as I did not look left and right before crossing the road... Partly, due to the 'heavy' heart that I had to head to school... But too bad my mum was there with me so I had no choice but to enter the school compound...

Orientation Group 21 (OG21)... That was the group that I was assigned to... Everything and everyone looked so unfamiliar to me but with all the strength and motivation left in me, I headed to the school hall where we had to report and mark our attendance... Went on to join the line where our OG leader was holding on to the signboard... The first person I talked to was a girl from Jin Tai Secondary (I honestly have forgotten her name) and we just began talking... After the marking of the attendance, it was followed by some talk by the school principal and then a school tour... It was during the school tour that I befriended a girl with the uniform of a white top and purple skirt, Genevieve... *Hehe*... Anyway, our OG leader, Farah, told us that our group was considered the 'extra' group as they had planned for only 20 groups... But due to the large intake of students, they had to form another group which was OG21...

Gonna talk about my orientation first because that was the best moment of all... Well, I remembered that it was a 3-day event... Practically, the first day of orientation was more of a get-to-know session and icebreaker... The theme of the orientation was "3-in-1"... And out of this theme, we had to create a short skit or song or whatever creative thing we could create... Some dumb and funny stuff that my group decided on... But let's talk about that later... *Hehe*... The orientation was a blast... Totally enjoyed it... Slowly made some new friends... Tiffany (from Monk's Hill Sec, the only girl who calls me 'pantat', don't ask me why!), Serene (from Geylang Methodist Sec), Mei Ching (from Fairfield Methodist), Erica (from err... I forgot... *Hee*), and Genevieve (from Queensway Sec, the girl with purple skirt... *Hehe*)... Well, these few people were my cliques in JI...

Back to the orientation... On the second day, we were playing games most of the time although I would consider it to be more like water games as we would be soaked from head to toe after each game since the orientation leaders would LOVE splashing water on us... Thank goodness, we were told to bring extra clothings... *Hehe*... And yes, we were taught the 'Kokomo' Dance during the orientation... *That explains why the song brings back memories*... It was a couple dance... My partner was some Chinese guy from SJI (or was it RI?)... Well, it was kinda exciting to learn the dance steps... But maybe my partner was a little too enthusiastic... At one part of the dance, we were supposed to hold one side of our hands together and on the other side, his hands on my waist and mine on his shoulders... But instead, his hands were a little way above my waist... Still remembered how I had to 'protect' myself and slowly started to use my elbow to push down his hand without him knowing... *Hee*... Anyway, maybe I was a little too enthusiastic too that in the end, Farah picked us to dance on stage with some other 'couples'... I won't deny that it was an embarrassing moment... Too bad, I felt that our dance was a little too 'robotic'... Should be more smooth... *Hee*...

Oh yeah... We had to learn to sing the school song too... No offence really but it really sounded funny... "Open the window, open the door"... We would really make fun of the song each time we open the window and door... *Haha*... Apologies to all ex-JIians for making fun of the school song...

Back to the orientation... We decided to come out with a skit about 3-in-1 coffeemix which we had to perform on the third day of orientation... *Well, they came out with that theme what!*... From what I remembered, I was one of the five 'creamer' (the girls were the creamer and the guys were the coffee)... And me, I had to hold the sign to show that we were the creamer... I was so PAISEH that I actually used the sign to hide my face because initially, I though that our skit was a little bit too ridiculous... Anyway, after the skit, we had to sing a short song to the tune of Nescafe... And if I wasn't mistaken, that was our group chant too... And so, as we were singing, our 2 OG21 'clowns', Azri & Fairus (if I'm not mistaken about their names), were jumping around the stage... Before I knew it, I heard a loud thud and the whole hall broke into laughter... Found out that Fairus had actually tripped over the microphone wire and had fallen on stage... In FRONT of the WHOLE HALL!! But instead of getting embarrassed by it, he just laughed at it, got up and started jumping around again... And I just couldn't help but laughed at it too... At the end though, everyone began asking whether he was okay... Luckily, he was fine about it... Anyway, the whole event was actually a competition where we had to compete with the other 20 OGs... And guess what? My OG won 2nd prize!! *Haha*... And almost all of us were 'thanking' Fairus for it... *Hehe*... And that was how our orientation programme went...

02A3... That was my class for the next 2 months or so... Well, it was an arts stream and we were placed in classes according to the subject combination that we took... For 02A3, the subject combination was Humanities, Economics and Literature inclusive of the compulsory OA Mother Tongue and General Paper... For me, I decided to take up OA Maths too, just for the fun of it... *Hehe*...

But let me tell you a secret... I was never a 'good' student back in JI... In fact, I was more of a 'havoc' girl... Not really to the extend of creating trouble... *Hehe*... More like skipping school, leaving school in the middle of lesson time, not attending lessons, etc... Yeah, you've heard me right... Seriously and honestly, I have never ever thought or dreamt of doing such things ever before... Not even during my poly days have I never done it before... But maybe due to the influences of my friends, I dared to do it... *Tsk tsk*... Anyway, I wasn't the only one who did it cuz nobody took the 3 months period seriously... In fact, there was once when almost the whole class of 02A3 left school during recess... Of course we had to do it elusively, in order not to get caught by the discipline mistress... *Can't imagine the consequences if we're really caught... Phew*... One by one, we sneaked out of the school compound, meeting up only at the next bus stop... Of course back then, I was guilty conscious about leaving school and I even contemplated returning to school of which I didn't of course... *Hehe*... Our destination then was McDonald's @ KAP (King Albert Park), the first drive-thru McDonald's in Singapore... Yeah, they had tables there... *Hee*... Anyway, the distance was about half-an-hour's walk from JI... But never did we complain about the tiredness of walking that far because we had each others' companies... The fun time we had, talking & laughing... Even at one time, we were chasing each other to KAP ala-Amazing Race to see who could reach the fastest... *Haha*... In fact, I used to tuck out my shirt and wore ankle socks (till today I'm still wearing ankle socks!!) under the influence of my friends... Okay, NOW that is BAD... *Hehe*...

And there was our one and only class project... We had to create a model for Total Defence Day... Our idea was to create a SUPER HUGE HEART which represented the heart of Singapore with 5 poles sticking out which representated the 5 Total Defence... Although the idea was simple but it was the group effort and time spent together that we really enjoyed... Well, the heart was made out of crumpled newspapers wrapped around stinky toilet papers which were 'stolen' from JI's toilets and the paper-type masking tape were pasted over them... The hearts were then painted red... The poles? We used kitchen paper rolls... To be honest, our model looked kinda gross as the heart looked kinda bloody and with the 5 poles sticking out, it made it even worse... Looked as though the heart was being pierced... *Haha*... Anyway, we could have won a prize if not for the fact that we sent in our caption late... *Grrrr*... But at least, we had our fond memories together... =)

The CCA I took? Touch rugby... But too bad, I lasted for only a day with them... Couldn't endure the tough and strenuous training... Got bad aches all over my body the next day... Had to skip school in the end cuz I was walking around like some sick person... And I remembered how I had to plead with my mum to let me skip school... *Haha*...

And of course... School life will never be complete without crushes and admirers... I remembered the guy whom I had a crush on... One of the student leaders whose name starts with the letter Z... Well, as usual, it was the looks... Anyway, I didn't tell anyone about it cuz a lot of other girls were infatuated with him too... Alright... Admirer... *Hmm*... Honestly, I had never suspected it... We were in the same class... Initially thought that he was a Chinese but he's actually a Malay... Anyway, one sweet thing that he did was to read a Malay poetry in front of the whole Malay class for the girl whom he liked... At that point in time, I didn't know who that girl was but as he was reading the poetry, he kept glancing and staring at me which made me a little bit uneasy... And a few days later, he told me that the poem was meant for me... And before long, the news had spread that I was the girl whom he liked... *Gosh*... Even my friends were constantly teasing me about him... Although at first I was a little touched but there came a time where I was practically avoiding him... Just found that he was a little way too pushy... Still remembered how I refused to come to school on Valentine's Day just to avoid him... In the end, I had to trouble Tiffany and Serene to skip school with me... And yeah, guess where we went?? Orchard Road!! As early as 9am... *Haha*... Yes, in our school uniforms... *Gosh*... I really wondered what I was thinking back then... *Hmm*...

There are still a lot more fond memories from my JI days... The mass PE lessons that we used to have in which I extremely hated; how I re-united my uncle with his long lost ex-schoolmate who happened to be a teacher at JI; how I loved collecting saga seeds which is also known as the love seeds behind the school compound; the charade game we played during our Literature lesson on our 'last day', just before collecting our 'O Level results; how we skipped one of our Literature lesson and ended up spending time in the library; the "Truth or Dare" game we played again during a Literature lesson; how we would create a 'chat room' during Economic lessons; how we played bowling and my bowling ball ended up rolling backwards, not once but a few times; and a lot more to be mentioned...

But memories will forever remain memories... I am just glad that I was given a chance to experience it... Regret of going to JI?? Never in my life, I will... Thanks to everyone whom had a part to play... I will always cherish the happy moments even though it was a short while...

~ Just an update... ~ 11:41:00 pm

Alright... At this point in time, as I'm typing this, my stomach is churning in such a weird way that I feel as though the stomach contents will be pushed up through my oesophagus and out of my throat at any time... In simpler terms, I really feel like vomiting... Over-ate? I don't think so... All I had for dinner was Black Pepper Beef on Hotplate, some fruits and an Ice Jelly Cocktail... That's not a lot right? Although yeah, I did not take my breakfast and lunch...

Sometimes I wonder... Am I having some minor eating disorder? Why do I say that? Cuz there are days when I just don't eat... Don't eat as in I really do not have proper meals for the day... There was even once when I did not even eat, not until 11.55pm and the reason I ate was because my mum had scolded me for not eating...
And as a result, I hardly eat much these days... I can practically skip breakfast and lunch, and then have an early dinner... And that's it for my day's meal... Bad huh? Actually I've realised my bad eating pattern for a long time but I did nothing much to it... But I guess yesterday was the turning point...

Germac commented that my collar bones were getting too visible... Way too visible... Even my mum said so...
And my Hb level was normal but just a little on the low side... 12.0... Anything below than that, I can't donate my blood already... But I still did... Just wanted to feel the satisfaction... As a result, I got really, really tired, lethargic and sleepy... And even after my meal, I still felt the same way...

What's the point of being thin when you're actually not healthy at all? Yes, I love being thin cuz it just makes me look and feel good... I can fit into clothes' size... But at the expense of my health?? Maybe I should start changing my eating pattern...

But then again, moods can really affect my eating pattern too... *Hmm*... I'm such a complicated person... *Sigh*...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lately, I've been having lots of nightmares... I seldom have dreams, so what's more nightmares... Honestly, I don't remember much of them but I just don't like the feeling... Cuz each time I wake up, I would be in tears and my nose will be blocked... Just hate it...

~ I'm Happy... =D ~ 10:24:00 pm

Feeling extremely happy today... The feeling is just undescribable...

Went out with my family today for an early Father's day meal since my dad will be working on Father's day itself which falls on 19^th June... Headed down to IMM cuz we wanted to try the food at Bagus by Banquet... Well, the management is under Banquet but the system is slighty different... Instead of self-servicing and paying for the food on the spot, we were given a card with a barcode... So each time when we order, the person will scan on the card... The best part: Food and drinks will be sent to you... All you have to do is order and then, sit at your table for your food... And you will only pay at the exit... *Cool right!!*... Anyway, both me and my sis shared a beef & seafood steamboat with rice only at $10... That's a real bargain!! What's more, the portion that they served was more than fair... All in all, we only paid $50+ for 5 people...

Walked around in IMM after our meal... There were really a lot of people over at IMM today cuz they had a few kids programme going on... At one point, while waiting for my sis who paid a visit to the washroom, I was watching a 'magic' show meant for the kids... Really felt happy at the part... Not because of the 'magic' show, but because of the happy faces that I saw on each and every kids' faces... They were so young, cute and innocent that I wished I was a kid again... *Hee*...

Went over to Best Denki... Was surveying some vacuum cleaners cuz the one at my home already has a weak motor so it doesn't 'suck' as well as before... *Hehe*... Although we did not buy any vacuums, but we got a new home phone!! *My previous one was kinda lousy already*... Was looking around at some PCs, laptops, handphones, digital cameras, printers, plasma TVs!! And the list just goes on... *Hehe*... All the temptations... *Tsk*...

Anyway, I got myself a new watch!!
Here's a preview...





Yes, as you can see, it was love at first sight... *Sigh... Hehehe*... But it seems, love didn't come cheap for me... A sum of $116 had to come out from my wallet... But I had no regrets, although I did initially... The saleslady was practically 'pleading' with me to buy, tried to sweet-talk me... In the end, I succumbed to temptations... *Haha*... A new collection to my watches... And oh yeah, I've fallen in love with a ladies bag from Fila... Gonna get it once pay comes... *HAHA*... Well, bought a watch for my dad's birthday too... Too bad it's all wrapped up so I can show it here...

Well, once again, I'm still feeling happy... Even now...

I'm happy because I got to eat my long-awaited steamboat... *YUM!!*
I'm happy because I got myself a new watch...
I'm happy because I got to disturb my mum just now cuz she thought she would be the first person to use the new home phone when it was me who called to disturb... *Hiak hiak*...
I'm happy because I got to spend precious time with my family...
I'm happy because I love my family... *Muacks*... *Thank you Allah...

~ Photos to share... ~ 12:47:00 pm

Was going through the picture folders in my PC and I came across some that I really liked... Just thought of sharing with you guys... =)


A photo of Fione & me...


Germac, me & Flora... I remembered that this picture was taken on the last day of school... *What sleepy eyes I've got*...


Fione, Evelyn & me...


A mirror image of me & Fione... *Cool eh!*... Taken at Plaza Singapura...


Okay... Everyone... SQUEEZE!! *Hehe*... This picture was taken in Mac's car with Fione holding to the camera... The best part about taking self-pics is when everyone have to squeeze in order to get in the pic... The bad part? Your face might get 'cut off' unwittingly...


Fione & Germac... I like this photo because of the angle it was taken... Very nice...


Germac, Fione, Flora & me in the pool... Remembered that I was swimming around with my blur eyes...


Me & Germac... Taken in one of the toilets in Scotts Shopping Centre... *Haha*... Really looked tanned in the pic cuz Fione & Mac applied some blusher onto my face, making me look 'sunburnt'... Anyway, wanna guess what is written on my t-shirt?? ..."I am too cute for my shirt"... Yeah right... *Hah*...


A candid shot of me & Germac... I happened to sat on something and it left a staining on my uniform... And Mac was trying to remove it using alcohol swab... *THANK YOU MAC!!*...


Fione 'piggyback'-ing me!! Cool eh...


The main attraction of the photo was supposed to be Fione & Germac... But the 'good' photographer went on to snap the 2 'Monkeys' dancing at the back... *Haha*...


OH NO!! EVELYN IS STUCK TO ONE OF THE PILLARS IN SUNTEC... *HAHA*...


That's Kewei, Flora and Flora's purple fingernails... *Flora, stop acting cute lah... Haha*...


Hair tugging session... *Hehe*


Another hair tugging session... *Haha*...

And the last one... My favourite of all...


That's me trying to kiss the 'fakely' excited Mac with Fione trying to come in between and Flora looking really 'angry'... *HAHA*...

Thanks for taking your precious time to view them... Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did... =)

I remembered seeing this quote at a shop in JB... The best way of communication & expression is through writing...

Well, I couldn't agree much lesser... That's why I'm back to blog again... *Hehe*... Even though I have lost much interest to chat, but my hands have been 'itching' to blog ever since the day I started to take a break... Just like what my friend Siti Hajar said, blogging have become a part of our life and place for us to pour out our hearts and soul... It would feel so incomplete if you just don't blog...

Alright... Let me summarise how my week went by...

Sunday, 5/6/05

A day of extreme bad luck... Went for 2 wedding receptions of my dad's relatives @ Ang Mo Kio... Well, something happened at the 2nd wedding reception... My sis and I went to get some drinks and that was when I tripped and nearly fell because my leg got stuck somewhere... The worse part: It was directly in FRONT of a CUTE GUY!!!! You can imagine how embarrassed I was...

Still not enough yet... After the wedding receptions, we went to Suntec since my mum wanted to walk around... We were looking around at the telephone displays @ Courts and one of the phones dropped directly on the right leg which I tripped on earlier... Landed straight at my second toe... *Grrr*...

The last unfortunate event... On the way home on the bus, someone who happened to have lots of gas in the GI system, decided to let out in the bus... And it STANK!! BADLY!!! *Sigh*...

Monday, 6/6/05

Nothing much on this day though... Went to JB with my mum and sis... Remembered having lots of blisters because I wore my mum's new stilettos, upon her request... Ended up having sore feet...

And oh yeah... There's a new system over at Woodlands Checkpoint... It's a DIY system of scanning your own passport and using of your thumbprint... It's quite cool and really saves a lot of time... But the advantage is only for adults due to the door system... You have to do it yourself... So for those with kids, they still have to go through the ICA officers...

Tuesday, 7/6/05

Slacked the whole day at home... Read my book... Not much events...

Wednesday, 8/6/05

Was supposed to go swimming with Flora and her sister & friends on that day but since it was raining, the plan was cancelled... *Sheesh... I wanna go swimming!!*...

Ended up spending 5-and-a-half hours in front of the PC, uploading pictures into my Photobucket... And yet, there is still not enough space for me to upload anymore pics as there are just too much of them... I think I'm gonna pay for the service so that I will be able to upload the rest too... In total, I've only managed to upload 189 photos out of 300-odd... Why I am doing this?? Just a safety precaution just in case my PC go bonkers... *Hee*...

Thursday, 9/6/05

Again... I was rotting at home the whole day... Completed reading my book because I'm a 'bookworm'... *Haha*...

And at night, I sat in front of my PC watching the old video of my Thailand School Field Trip back in 2001... Suddenly, all the memories just came flooding back to me... How I missed those days... *Sigh*... Shall talk about it one day... =D

Friday, 10/6/05

Went down to TTSH for medical check-up today... Met up with Eve & Flora at 9.50am when I was supposed to meet them at 9.30am... *Oops... Hehe*... Anyway, went to the HR since Flora had to collect the forms from the HR lady, Linda... And that was when we found out that the medical check-up was no longer done at the Walk-in Clinic... Instead, we had to travel down all the way to Lorong 27 Geylang near Aljunied MRT to do it... Headed down after Flora collected her uniforms and shoes...

And there were a LOT of foreign workers there... Bangladeshi, Indonesians, etc... *Really wonder why TTSH had to send us there instead*... And oh yeah, I downed one bottle of mineral water cuz I did not have the urge to micturate (in simpler term: urinate)... The consequence: I had to travel all the way from Aljunied to Yishun with a distended bladder... And guess what? Just went I was about to step into the ladies at Yishun MRT, I saw the sign... "Cleaning In Progress"... *Haha*... No, I did not pee in my pants... Just had to rush to the ladies in Northpoint... *Haha*...

Okay back to the medical check-up... Everything went by smoothly and I'm fit for employment!! *Hehe*... My height: 166 cm (I've gained a cm!!), my weight: 55.5 kg, my BP: 110/80, my lungs: normal, abdomen: soft, etc... *Revealed too much already*... Although one thing puzzled me, the doctor asked me whether I'm here in Singapore to study or work... Well, I understand that there are a lot of foreign workers but HELLO!! Didn't you see my pink IC?!?! *Grrr*... But other than that, he's a friendly man lah... *Hehe*...

And the blood taking... Mine was quite easy since I have prominent and visible veins... Not for Flora though... Her veins are practically playing hide-and-seek... *Oops... Hehe*... But the lady who took the blood was very patient and allowed Flora to exercise her arms... Lucky for her, the lady was able to take the blood at first try... Although my hand did hurt after she squeezed it during the blood taking... *Hee*...

And erm, I did feel a little uncomfortable with the place... Especially while waiting for Evelyn and Flora to finish their check-up, I was sitting on the bench near to where the Indonesian maids were... And at the same time, I was holding on to Flora's big IKEA bag where she put all the uniforms and shoes in... And the feeling I tell you, I really felt as though I was one of the Indonesian maids... NO KIDDING!! Thank goodness after Evelyn finished her medical check-up, we went outside to wait for Flora... *Phew*...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just got news regarding our graduation ceremony... NR0205's will be held on the 26th of July @ 10am with 10 other groups... And the rest will be on the same day @ 4pm... And we'll be the only one from Group A which ceremony is at 10am... The rest of Group A @ 4pm... *What the heck!*... Looks like we will be separated from the rest again... *Sigh*... This is so sad man... =(

~ A Short Break... ~ 7:35:00 pm

I have decided to take a short break from the world of blogging and chatting... Seriously, there is nothing much for me to blog about now... And I don't find much enthusiasm to chat anymore... Basically, there is nothing for me to look forward to...

With this, I take my leave...
Take care all...

P.S.
To Fione:
Please message me once you're back yeah... If there's anything important, I'm still reachable by email... Miss ya lots gal...

~ Events for the Day ~ 9:57:00 pm

Exactly one more month to go before I officially start work as a staff nurse... Can't believe that time passes by really fast... And I have never felt so much responsibility on my shoulders especially after donning the TTSH staff nurse uniform... Kinda scary come to think of it...

Anyway, went down to TTSH earlier in the day with Flora, Florence, Eliza, Xiufen, Evelyn & Michelle for the uniform fitting... Were supposed to meet at Novena MRT Control Station @ 12noon... Well, I was a little late only by a few minutes but it seems that the latest person reached at 12.20... As a result, the HR personnel had already went for her lunch break so we had to come back at 1.30 instead... Flora went off since she had to head for work... And so, the 6 of us went to Food Junction @ Novena Square to have our lunch... Of course, mine was no lunch since I had my meal earlier at home...

Finally met the HR personnel at 1.30 to collect our forms for the uniform and medical check-up... One word to describe the uniform fitting... Chaotic... And I didn't know that Xiufen is such an indecisive person... *Hehe*... Took us more than an hour to try the uniform... And I decided to settle for 2 sets of pantsuit and a set of dress... Actually the pantsuit looks a lot better on me but since it's a must to have a set of dress for occasions and functions, I could only take 2 sets of pantsuit...

Since it was already 3 plus by the time everything ended, I decided not to do the medical check-up today since it was already quite late... Anyway, I will have to accompany Flora too so might as well do it together with her... Headed to my aunt's place at Bukit Batok since my sis needed to pass some stuffs to her... Took the wrong mode of transport and ended up reaching my aunt's house late... Anyway, the bus driver was kinda new so he brought the bus REALLLLLLLYYYYYY SSSSLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWWW...

Really sweated out a lot when I played badminton with my little cousin... And guess who I saw while playing?? Michelle!! Happened that she lives nearby to my aunt's place... Played Monopoly (been ages since I last played that game) with my sis, Des & Alishah... And guess what? I LOST!! *Grrrrr*... But at least we had lots of fun and laughter together... Wonder if I can still do so once I start work... *Hmmm*...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the way,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAC MAC!!!

Best wishes to you on your special day... Miss ya lots!! *Hugs*
