The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.

i just watched la vie en rose, a french film about the famous singer, Edith Piaf.

and as the movie ended with her dying peacefully in bed with her famous song je ne regrette rien in the background, it made me really really reflect.

she led one tulmultous life and she regrets nothing in the end. i wanna be like that..but hopefully with my life being more of a bed of roses than hers. (:



with that i have to say i'm really a comedy/romantic flick kind of person. serious, arty-farty movies make me think too much. it's nice to watch them once in a while but really i enjoy the non-serious stuff more.

so it's back to school once more. the third week already and i still feel as if school hasn't really started. but i'm really enjoying what i'm doing now so ((:
okay the title says it all..i've never done so much EVER during a single holiday. and now i'm feeling depressed coz school is starting...no scratch that school HAS STARTED and i don't feel like working at all. thank god i've a 3-day school week this sem..gives me time to readjust..

and here's the rest of my precious hols..from the 6th week onwards, did considerably less stuff because of preceptorship..

here was way back at kelly's bbq party..at some condo in the north. mike drove sab and gave dhan, sher and i a lift there as well. so the three of us were stuffed in the back and it was pretty fun and cozy coz mike's car had this retractable sun roof thing and we were all just staring up at the night sky and chatting..


we headed to some hongkong cafe at siglap after for supper..but i don't rem us staying long!

and in the same week, worked at communicasia with joy and cherie..check out the funky fanny pack we had to carry!


here's joy getting ready in the morning


yea and waiting around for morning briefing


we slacked alot during our working hours and visited the singtel booth all the time, they was giving away complementary nachos, coffee and hot chocolate. i so missed their hot chocolate..it's like a sip of bliss...foamy, creamy and sooo comforting! joy was talking to the barista and found out that she knew where their shop was..was telling joy i want to go there one day, order their hot chocolate and daydream the time away and she says she's bringing me there ((:

here's some coffee art, a disfigured bunny coz i added in some syrup...


after work one day, took photos while waiting for joy's dad to pick her up in her new Altis!


the classic see, hear, speak no evil...but we looked too happy so we retried...


and haha this is hilarious! we were supposed to look sad or something...


yea and we had to wear some cheerleader uniform thing with COME GET MY NUMBER on the back..not very subtle...joy & cherie had their share of ckp. i was fortunately partnered with a jolin tsai-lookalike so there were loads of teenage angst/hormonal lust directed towards her ((:


and we weren't very hardworking so the both of us spent our days trawling the 5 halls of expo looking at all the faboo-looking models...oh yea and the LG korean dancers (:

and this was night cycling with cherie and weiqi's cell..happened during the week when preceptorship started..have no idea how i survived coz the route was so long!


we started at ecp, then to orchard road, botanical gardens, nus law school, bukit timah prata place, nus, vivocity, cbd and then back..but it was totally worth the trip to the prata place man..best prata i've ever eaten!

and i met the primary school people after like 10 years of not meeting..we had dinner over popeye's at the airport and it was fun reminiscing bout all our old classmates and the funny stuff we did together..


and we got this eurasian woman to take a photo for us and she went, "okay schmell!" i was like controlling..the moment dhan let out his first guffaw that was it for me..i just burst out laughing!


and it's pretty cool how after 10 years we still could come together and chat and laugh over dinner..really missed my primary school days..had like the most carefree days ever there...


and the jc class got together again to celebrate titus' birthday..went to settler's at clark quay earlier on in the night, then we had to find some place for supper. so we pop at the back of titus' pickup and it was like sooo fun! he was going down nicoll highway at like 100k and i had spit dribbling out of my mouth haha!




we settled down at simpang after that and here's titus trying to suck out his candles instead of the conventional blowing them out!

and dhan very kindly offered to cut and dye my hair...here's befores and afters and the nicole richie hairstyle i wanted!


he dyed it burgendy and i'm really excited after the cut coz i thought it was real swell!


how cool is that, one day when you've gotten bored with being a doctor you can defo hang up your stethoscope and cut hair instead!

carmen came over later in the day to have her hair cut as well, and while waiting for dhan to take a bath before we headed out to supper, we fooled around in his room!

carmen the muscle womaan yo!



dhan's dog, fillius is the sweetest thing ever! he looks oh so fierce but is such a lovable dog!



carmen drove us to changi village for supper and the food there is da bomb!


thanks a mil dhan!

and i went to brewerks with like the most mis-mashed group ever! there were ppl from my pri sch, sec sch, jc! and everyone knew each other in some way..


we had some raspberry beer thingy and i think beer is still the yummiest alco drink..don't really fancy all the vodka, spirits, wine stuff...


kinda clicked with mirelle's friend hazel and we were laughing over the most hilarious stuff. and my mum wanted to call me hazel instead of agnes when i was a baby....


jc peeps


we went to mos after..it was like so late after brewerks that we went in when ppl were leaving..

next up was jc class chalet..the boys were up to their nonsense again. they were like 'whee let's see how many ppl can get onto the bike!' and the next moment, the wheel completely crumpled! and it was dhan's bike..tsk tsk!

the pharm ppl gathering after forever for niron's birthday at some turkish restaurant at far east..haha it's nice to see everyone so formally dressed!

and speaking of work, here's my two favourite ppl at sgh who made an otherwise horrible time soo much more fun! we were chatting away like any in the outpatient pharmacy everyday!


love you joy! i was really really depressed coz it's that time of the month and it was dawning on me that sch is finally starting and this girl decorated a notebook and wrote the sweetest and most hilarious stuff on a card to me..really really touched!


last day pictures



and with the ever so nice to us only miss tan!

and right after the last day of work, we went night cycling! parry, mel, joy and i!


here's us in lying right in front of the esplanade!


and on the other side of the lens...


haha funny trivia..joy told us this was taken exactly at 12 midnight..ooh and i just rem it was the first day of the 7th month!


at some expressway before we hit thomson for prata!


and this was us a year ago when we just got to know each other a little better!! awwww


from this to the love bridge..i can't help but thinking anything can happen in the future!
the percussion girls gathered once more to watch shijia play in the alumni concert and we caught the fireworks!



with lihao


ahmaaad! who have graduated so i won't be bumping into him at nus anymore ):



andrea drove so after the concert we met carmen for supper at simpang! ((: prataaa lurving
and we decided to meet one more time at timbre before school started (for andrea and me..haa carmiee!)


yummy margaritas


even yummier pizza!





and that's the end of the hols, what a long post! i kinda got tired at the end..but i realised that most of my close friends now all know each other some way or another and it's just amazing how small the world is....

like how mel and i could be friends in pre-school! and how we might have not known at all if we hadn't happen to talk about our pre-school days...


and even more amazing is how titus was also in the same pre-school!


it's funny how life turns out in the end..and i'm feeling horribly depressed again coz i'm reminded again that the holidays have ended.

and a 3day sch week isn't so good after all because my timetable is horribly squashed and i don't have time to spend with the pharm ppl ))): we have to have our once a month going out thing!!!

okay heading to bed with bitbit and friends coz it's 4am and i'm so not keeping to my resolution.
