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

it's sooo close to the weekend, had to rehash the past weekend to last me through til thurs night..pure blonde lager..not bad at all!

coz we didn't meet up for kb this week, the three of us met up on saturday to catch up!


went to this nice australian place outside raffles city..


car and i just recovered from the aftereffects of a buffet in the afternoon, so only andrea had food. she sneaked me a little of her fish and chips and it was good! even with all the food in my tummy...


haha...car and andrea's favourite animal, right carmooo?


and we were just talking nonsense throughout dinner, going through situational games as car calls them. it was until in the mrt that we started talking bout juicy stuff, haha! so silly...but we have the whole trip in june to do that! no kb again this friday coz it's good friday )): owells at least it's a holiday!

it's been ages since i went on two wheels! and i have no idea why BUT I LOVE CYCLING AN AWFUL LOT!! made to changi village and back, the weather was soo frickin hot, i think all my sunscreen application for the past 9 months has just gone down the drain coz the faded freckles are back!!!! still it was awesome to have headed out even though there was work to be done. just need to push everything to the back of my head once in awhile.

i think i kinda played a little too much this weekend..time to get cracking on work this upcoming week!

i fell asleep in front of the laptop, and it's barely midnight. my friends in other hospitals are having their break...where's mine!!!

and while talking to vels the other day, i realised we have super similar deepeees...



finally got to see all of them again...i miss school!!! and tree top benches lunchesss...and our comfy place at the back of our usual LT...

group pic with the CGH guys (((: we survived! mweee!



girliesssssss....


ultimate camwhoring...haha it's a new sport. taken during the speech...with someone authoritative we fear right behind us.



alright decision made, guess i'm gonna be concentrating on nutrition at work the next year or so..just today after the first sesh with the tpn pharmacist, i came back to op, plonk myself down at DI, stared at niron, and almost burst into tears. it's soo overwhelming!

just a quick note before i head off to work, busy days ahead..at least i see all my classmates once more this evening at the closing ceremony..can't wait!!

granted most of work today was spent on miscellaneous things, settling paperwork for the registration of ourselves as pharmacist, and hence it made it a good work day.

the four of us who went down for registration had MacDs! haha..had to take a photo to commemorate the event. since Macdonalds doesn't want to grant simei with its presence. and look at the amount of sauce simon's having! haha...time to run hoho!





well there're people out there with more troubles. but dang, wouldn't it be nice if everything was nice and dandy. and what is it with all the blood pouring over at bkk, the momo just keeps going on and on bout the july trip. but the tickets are all booked anyways. foresee loads of needling all the way. oh come on! blood is a little extreme don't you think...

and i just can't make my mind up on work matters. challenge and late knock-offs OR being comfortable and happy. have tons of questions. i want answers and i want to know my options. and i'm not sure myself whether i'm ready for a change in my non-work activities. especially my lovely fridays. will be at a loss without them. well of course i could still meet car and andrea for afters but it won't be the same. gd things never do last.

and a whole load of other issues as well. well it isn't what it seems definitely. certainly not as messy as what you used to do. but it's a really bad practice all the same that has to be discontinued. i'm trying to resolve it but it just takes soo much work especially when there're so much bait laying around. well i certainly do not want to talk bout it, so for the time being, just leave it alright?

just need an outlet for all these drama-mama-ness. so yep a photo post because i'm really alright.

food hunt two saturdays back that got me so knackered i passed out an entire weekend and felt its after-effects for a week after. i was literally poop, was surviving by just zombie-ing around.


my team mates! 9 months of slogging out at work, got to know everyone better. and someone told me i'm always too fast to judge. which is so true because everyone's really a good person regardless of their quirks.


and this from awhile back, seafood dinner for gracie boo's farewell. i miss her soo much. everyone's at outpatient is leaving in the near future as well. another thing to factor in for the work dilemma.


after the food hunt, i almost became little miss pangsae because i was dead tired. didn't help that i did intervals with car the night before and had barely 2 hours of sleep before i had stocktake at work. but i haven't met the 19 guys like forever. so after saying bye to the cgh mates, i trudged down to barrage....by bus. ppl who know me knows i don't like to cab, but this time i was ready to jump into any but apparently cabs avoided the barrage like the plague. passed out on the bus for the 5 mins ride and almost missed the stop.


but it was all worth it when i finally found them on the field because they were waiting for me to start dinner! gosh and i reached close to 9pm...was so super touched, you guys rock laa..and my future travel mates with our picnic. haha...they'll kill me for posting this but they don't come here anyways so ((((:


and we saw this ginormous kite that just owned all the other kites. everyone just went phowar when it went up in the wind. the kite was the width of the barrage field. it was insane.


and tomorrow's the first official day i pass out from pre-reg. wheee! be hardworking dear aggieeee.....




just earlier on in the night, it was foodie/fitness friday again! just can't help but look forward to it each week. the rainy season's starting all over again. i rem the windy season at the start of 2009 that really helped me when i started going out on runs. and i'm awfully pissed that i missed most of the windy season this year. managed to squeeze in a couple of rounds at the track before class because the rain stopped for awhile.

and the teacher's really pushing the planks and crunches on us full time. and i totally suck at them. i have a feeling i have almost zilch tummy muscles. every saturday, i never fail to wake up with a sore tummy, it hurts so much just to sneeze.

this week, the three of us piled into car's pickup and went on the hunt for aston's at tampines. it was really nice being squashed in the front of the pickup because it was raining outside and all. and....we found it! after a few detours. went for afters at the bark cafe. had wings and the oh so popular red plum soda. taiwan's been benched because of me ))): but we have a new plan up! once we settle accommodation, we can book tickets and finalise everything! one more week!

this is mind-boggling. everyday my life forecast in the nxt couple of year changes..it's like sitting a mini rollercoaster. opinions i need opinions! gathering time!

and I was wondering why my dad was so interested in getting me to read last week's copy of the papers. until i caught sight of my name in his handwriting on it!!


and johnson's baby shampoo works wonders on my hair! just switched to it recently coz of a minor hair loss scare. and it turns out that my previous shampoo was too strong. my hair did a one-eighty and i can't help but touch it all the time now haha..okay end of psycho babble..

i just bought 4 pieces of clothing online...saving up much?





oh gosh emo night tonight

so many things to handle...the presentation, arrangements with friends, work-related stuff relationship with god, parents, myself. it's too much weighing down on me.

but i'm grateful that in the midst of it all, there's someone talking to me, telling me who to look to. even though i'm not replying this friend. as everyone know, i can take long to reply on msn. but he keeps telling me all the stuff i can identify with. he tells me what deep down inside my heart is longing to keep to. we don't long for much. just to be a simple person, with all things stable. but no, society calls out for more than this. so to thrive, we have to push through our simple lives. he writes in a different language from what i'm familiar with so it takes times to decipher his words. but all the same, the msg is delivered across.

oh it's been long since i wrote so freely here, on the other hand, it's also been a while since i felt like this.

so work feels like this right now. i think it's the leftover fatigue from saturday still. ):

still like working at OP though, love the anticipation of what the nxt patient whose number you buzz will turn out like. and for another thing, time at work passes so quickly. blink and it's lunch, blink again and it's time to head home.

and i love bitbit's nose. it's just too adorable to not touch all the time haha...

right post from long ago next, an attempt to finish at least until the 30th prescription AND bedtime early hopefully!


so just two weekends ago, when i was still on extended mc, sunday was spent at manpuku. had the okos as it was my first time attempting solid food. bee had steak tofu and momo had the only jap food she likes, tempura.

and after, ZEE MATCHA CONE makes its appearance yet again!


and not too long ago, the gals in our family saved a date on the calendar to attend the Haagen Daas Ice Cream Buffet! free-flow all you can eat ice cream! wheeez!


i had me 26 scoops of ice cream in total! hahaha everything you see down here, all in me! hurhur...had to lay off on the ice cream for awhile after! ugh..but we were back at it in less than half a week. apparently my mum wasn't satisfied, she bought two more pints of haagen daaz strawberry just 2 days later. oh mon dieu!


the girls in my family are def crazy bout ice cream.

and i found this. 101 frightening ice cream flavours from all over the world. click if you're bored. all the meat ice cream are just plain crazy. then there's indian curry ice cream whoo!

somehow the fatigue from the weekend's still not going away.

fought the sleepy bug in this morning case study presentation. only got frightened awake by my cell phone ringing..was from my favourite tw collegue who's on mc )):

and it's only the 4th day of OP..but today i suddenly felt that the env's really harsh. and trying to please everyone gets really tiring. oh nooo, the initial high is fizzing out too quickly...

first thing first, get a gd night's rest!

i think i'm intentionally depriving myself of rest. the past friday plus weekend has been such a whirlwind of events.

the super little sleep plus all the running around is making me go insane. body's complaning. i have all these aches..it hurts even to sneeze. and i laugh at every single thing. even things that are not funny. and i fall asleep everywhere almost immediately. gonna tuck myself in bed with bitbit by half past 11 tonight!

kickboxing today was kickass! whoo! still feeling the high from it!

the routine changes every fortnight..and the routine for the past two weeks was crap. today we did all the jump kicks and dodging..omg! awesome!

i love fridays so much! after kb, we headed to manpuku..shared four dishes amongst the three of us. we almost exploded. and car had to finish most of it )): we had matcha ice cream again! just had to..it's one dollar..no better deal out there...

thank god we did intervals at the track before lessons. did 100m sprints, and omg carmen may walk like a tortoise most of the time, but boy can she sprint. i couldn't catch up to her for nuts man..and i was running my fastest ever in what 10 years? hidden talent ah someone..

okay i'm super full from all the jap food in my toomey..gonna catch some zzz, long day tmr starting with work at 8.30am )): but still it's the weekends!

i'm so tired. all i wanna do is go to sleep. and when i wake up, i want to wake up to a view like this. eiffel tower, paris air and all.

and today was like happy pops flying at me throughout the day.

was my first day back at work from my week-long mc. and even though i can barely open my eyes, i MUST keep awake to put this down on record. for another day, where things aren't going as smoothly. was kinda disappointed at first that most of the preregs weren't gonna be at outpatient. but i just really enjoy my work there. the rush. the buzz. the talking to the patients.

and subbed eps of wgm are out! at last!

and i had my stitches removed. wheee..i really like my dentist.

and i passed the board exams! omg..really have to thank god for this. i did study, but i was freaking out even at the last second before the paper. and then it was all the worrying after i handed up my paper. many thanks to weiqi and joy for keeping me sane bout my being a worrywart.

and i had a lovely lunch with almost all the preregs in attendance plus my favourite taiwan colleague and kooky christina. love love.

and it's only 10pm but i'm bushed. but i don't wanna end my happy pops day because going to sleep would shorten it drastically.
