~ Season's Greetings! ~
8:43:00 pm
Season's Greetings to all!!
Wishing all a very Merry Christmas to all those who are celebrating Christmas...
And although I don't celebrate Christmas, as usual, I would get into the mood of this festive season, especially with the lightings in Orchard Road and the gift exchange that was held in my workplace...
So, what did I get for my gift exchange?? Well, it was not much of a surprise...
It looks like an ang-bao...
OH, it's a Borders Gift Card! *Hee*...
The reason why I've said that it's not much of a surprise is because, we had actually written down our 'wishes' on a piece of paper before ballotting the names... Although I can't imagine if we had picked our own name... *Hehe*...
As for the name I ballotted out, I actually got for her Takashimaya Gift Vouchers...
And talking about Christmas lightings, my family had headed down to Orchard Road to view the lightings two Sundays ago... Actually, there are just lights, lights and more lights with hoards and hoards of crowd... *Tsk tsk*... So crowded that we ended up going to Mustafa Centre halfway... *Haha*...
Ngee Ann City Christmas Tree
My Family...
I'm not gonna post the outdoor photos cuz it just doesn't look nice... Afterall, it was my first time using my new Sony Cybershot T200 camera... Yeah, that was the birthday gift that I had gotten for myself... *Hee*... Well, I'm still trying to learn to use the perfect functions...
And as for HIM...
I miss you, very much.
Period.

~ Updates ~
11:47:00 pm
So, the year-end bonus is already in... But for me, it's just the same as having no bonus at all... That's because, a very very very HUGE portion have been used to pay for my next semester's school fees... And I'm left with a very very very tiny bit to survive with...
And that means... NO SHOPPING, NO SPLURGING!! But that's alright... Cuz I have mostly got what I really wanted...
And talking about school fees, I went to SIM today to pay my fees as well as to collect my course material for the next module and my previous assignment... To my surprise, I had actually scored a distinction for the assignment... *Haha*... To think that I had only started writing the assignment a week before the date due, and I only had 3-4 hours each night to rush through the assignment as I was working 4 consecutive PM shifts that week...
I remembered that I had to read my draft assignment to and fro of work in the bus or train, jotting down notes on pieces of paper each time something comes into my mind, and I will do so whether I'm standing or sitting...
And boy, I sure am glad that I've obtained a distinction!! =)
And to sidetrack a little bit...
I honestly can't believe that Hady Mirza won the Asian Idol... Well, I am proud that Singapore has won... But, we all know who really deserves to win...
Afterall, Asian Idol... It's just a title and it doesn't prove much...

~ On My 22nd Birthday... ~
10:46:00 pm
So, I've turned 22 today... Well, to me, being 22 doesn't make any difference... It's just another number that increases every year...
In my previous entry, I've said that I wanted to spend some quiet moment with my special someone... But that plan, well, it kinda backfired... Instead, we had an adventurous, crazy time... All the way in Sentosa... *Heh*...
But what really touches me the most on my birthday was to receive a birthday cake from my special someone... What so special, you would say? The fact that made it very special was that he had baked the cake himself, specially just for me... *Awwwwww*... Even though he said that it looks very 'shitty', I don't care... It's the thought that counts... And it was those thoughts that made it so important to me...
And also, a birthday cake from my future sister-in-law... Goodness, it was really a surprise!! Now, I gotta get something for her...
And well, so many surprises, when all I wanted was a simple birthday... But really, I'm so thankful for them... And a very big Thank You to everyone who have remembered my birthday... I love you guys!! =)
P.S. A special mention to Fione To for the very, very unique birthday wish... So unique that I had to spend 5 minutes just trying to figure out the message and another 5 minutes to reply to her back... *Hehe*...
Nonetheless, thank you girl!! =D

~ 3 Days Before I Turn Two-Two... ~
8:51:00 pm
Just three more days to go before I turn
Two-Two...
Unlike last year, I don't yearn or intend to have a big bash for my birthday... I rather have something simple... Spend a quiet time with my special someone and share a bonding moment with my family...
However, I did bought a little birthday gift for myself... From me, to me... Lame? No, I just wanna spend a little something for myself...
What is it? I will let you know on my birthday itself... That's why it's called a birthday gift... *Hehe*...

~ Laughter is the Best Medicine of ALL... ~
8:14:00 pm
There was one thing that I was lacking in these days, especially since the loss of someone dear... But I think that I've found it again, just today...
And that thing is called,
LAUGHTER...
It's been ages since I felt that I had laughed that hard... So hard that my cheekbones hurt each time I smiled or laughed at the end of the day... But I love that feeling... I haven't felt so happy in such a long time...
Thank you guys, for the wonderful company...
On the other hand, I had passed all my examinations!! *Hip hip hooray!*... And I had gotten all credits, just like the previous semester...
But this time around, I felt more satisfied... Well, let's just say that I only started studying around 2-3 days before the exams, and I started doing my assignment just a week before the submission date... And to obtain credits at this rate, it's just AMAZING!! *Haha*...
Maybe that is why I felt happy... =D

~ Cold, cold day... ~
10:02:00 pm
It's such a cold and freezing day... So cold that my teeth couldn't stop clattering from the moment I boarded the bus to work, till the time I reached home from work... Yes, it was that bad... And the super heavy rain, and being in an airconditioned ward, made it worse...
But YOUR presence made me feel warmer... Your gestures and all...
Thanks for taking time just to fetch me from work... Thanks for taking some time off from your precious sleep just to meet up with me... Thanks for having you with me...
I love you, dear...
On the other hand, my late Nursing Officer's body have been safely buried on Monday morning... My deepest condolences to her family... But I am really thankful to her family for allowing 3 buses full of TTSH staffs, to pay our final respect to her... Thank you very much...
Well, I guess I'm alright now... No doubt I still think about her at times, whether I'm at work, at home or just during journeys to anywhere... She are, and will always be, in our minds...
Each and everyone is unique in their own way, and no one else can ever be as unique as Sister Norinah...

~ Demise of Someone Very Dear ~
12:05:00 am
Now that I am more emotionally stable, let me describe the events that have took place over the past week...
Honestly, I feel that this is not a very good year... Many, many tragedies have occurred and many people have left us...
And me, I've just lost someone who is very dear to me... No, it's not my boyfriend, although I do admit that I did nearly 'lost' him too...
The person whom I've lost was my nursing officer from my previous ward... Her demise came to us as a sudden as she was known not to have any illness or sickness... Her cause of death was AMI or Acute Myocardial Infarction...
But I guess, what saddens me the most was that she had passed away in a foreign land, without any family members around... She had actually gone for an attachment in the United States, sent by the hospital... And she was only 2 weeks into the attachment...
As in this point of time, we are still waiting for her body to be flown back to Singapore, which
insyaAllah, will be back by early Monday morning...
I would be lying if I were to say that I am not affected by this piece of sad news... Especially since I had to work closer with her this year in producing the birthday cards for everyone in the ward...
We will definitely miss her presence... Her motherly ways, her nags, her advices, everything about her...
Sister Norinah, you have been a wonderful colleague and superior to us... You will be greatly missed by us... InsyaAllah, may you rest in peace among those who are loved by Allah... You will always be remembered in our prayers...Labels: The Loss
