Yes, I'm back from Vancouver already! Which is extremely saddening. I'd say it's not so much that I miss the place, but the idea of being away with a group of friends and traveling about. It's very much different from holidays with the family because when I'm holidaying with the family, I don't really have to care much about the itinerary. We wake up late, laze about, go wherever daddy and mummy says to go to. But, with friends, it's a whole different issue! We can plan where and what we want to do and see..we have to find our own way about and read a map! All in all, we have to be independent. :)

Well, it's already the beginning of third week of school! Time really flies.. so far, clinics have been very relaxing. Maybe I've been 'UBC-nized', I find myself not so much in a rush anymore. I take my own time to do things in clinic, and really try to do things to the best of my ability instead of rushing to finish first. Which is good, because then you really put the patient first. Actually school on a whole is more relaxing, maybe it's the subjects that we have this year or something because I find that I suddenly have less labwork and more time to study! I guess that this is probably just temporary, because how can dental school ever be relaxing?? Haha.

It's just 2 more weeks to the Vancouver-Seattle-Victoria trip! =D I probably won't be able to sleep properly on this day 2 weeks down. Just talking about it with Jingting last night got me all excited. I've started to pack already, especially since I'll be extremely busy with UROP the weekend before I leave, and it's really a chore to decide what to wear!

Well, school has been busy, of course. OS posting is over! Which is quite sad really because I really enjoyed it! :) It's something different from the other clinics I guess, and there weren't so much admin work and stuff to do. Just go there, get the patient folder, gown up, set up the equipment, extract, clean up and post-op instructions! There's the adrenaline in just gowning up. Haha. One doctor said I can be an OMS surgeon in the future! =D But seriously, I have no idea why he said such a thing because I still couldn't use a Coupland properly after so many extractions.

Anyhow, due to many factors, I can't issue the denture to my patient anymore! It's so saddening. =( I hope nothing else goes wrong - like no warpage of his mucosa! HAHA. Okay, I should really get back to studying for my another two tests - RP and Endo (AGAIN).

2008-07-27T15:17:00.003+08:00

It's been a long time since I've updated. Well, school has been very busy, as usual. There were exciting moments such as doing a pulpectomy and getting ready to face Dr T, which turned out to be not so bad afterall. But the preparation for meeting Dr T during clinics has really taken a toll on me, with all the late nights spent reading up and watching videos. I'm starting to fall sick already! :l

Then there's all the 'super sian' moments such as doing a record block, special tray, doing another ProV, and studying for Oral Patho and Endo tests etc. Thankfully, there's all the miscellaneous events to keep my 'social life' active (HAH) such as meeting the juniors at barbeque night (which turned out to be pretty eventful!), mini line dinner as well as the Neon Green Elevator gig at B&J.

But of course, there are always things to anticipate for! There's the soon-to-come exciting moments such as the teeth set up and issue of denture to Uncle Johnny! :) As well as the extractions and LA ops that are to come. And of course, the Vancouver-Seattle-Victoria trip! =D Whee! We really can't wait for that trip, and have already started a countdown to that day! In fact, I seriously feel like packing now. It's probably the only thing that pulls me through school.

Ok, till the next update! (which will probably be when I'm preparing to go to Vancouver!! =DDD)

2008-06-25T22:20:00.003+08:00

2008-06-14T01:02:00.002+08:00

I just came back from CSS camp last night and I have to say that I don't regret going once again. For last year and this, I always had this apprehension of going because I'm not a regular CSS attender and hence don't really know anyone/not really close to anyone there except for Olivia and a few others. But eventually, I always end up grateful that I went and become very spiritually recharged. :)

This year, I was in the group Abel which consisted of Agnes and Ferdi (the facils), Olivia, Maria and Marian (the befrienders), Mario the crasher (haha) and last but not least, Christopher, Sean, Laura, Janis and Majella (the freshies). We weren't as enthu as my previous OG, we were super slack - last to arrive for the games, didn't even finish the campus games because we went to BTC. But, we somehow managed to come out tops for our campus games! In fact we were ALL very surprised, which was quite funny. We were saying that if we get like bottom 3, must say "NO DEAL!". But we ended up getting first! =D

As like the year before, Recon night made me feel spiritually recharged. But this time was different from last year's, maybe perhaps it's because I've become more distant from God during this past year, hence my emotions. Many many thanks to Justin and Joyce for being there for me during recon night.. I don't think I'll ever forget it. :) The camp as a whole made me think a lot about the things that have happened to me recently, and I realised that perhaps God is right, and what that has happened is indeed for my own good. The only bad thing is that we realised it a bit too late. But I guess, better late than never.

Anyway, will upload the photos as soon as I get it out from my SD HC card, which is such a bother considering that it is supposedly better than a normal SD card. GR.

2008-06-05T15:44:00.001+08:00

I've been having gastric for the past two days already. Today's the third, but it wasn't so bad fortunately. Actually I'm not even sure if it's gastric, but according to mummy it is. It's just a permanent nauseating feeling plus occasional pain in my stomach. Really bleh.

On another note, school's ending soon! =D I seriously can't wait! I'm just so tired nowadays, I even almost fell asleep on the way back just now. My gosh, I could barely keep my eyes open in the car. Okay, think I'm going to take a nap now. zzz.

2008-06-01T13:12:00.002+08:00

We celebrated Mama's birthday at Grand Shanghai last night. The ambience was really nice, with the dim lights and girl in a qipao singing on stage, plus plush sofas all around. The dinner wasn't that bad, but extremely expensive, especially the drinks. :l And the place where Bel and I were sitting was freezing cold..

Anyway, the dinner turned out okay, nothing unusual happened. Brought Sarah out for a walk halfway, she's so heavy nowadays my arm ached from carrying her! I couldn't even hold the chopsticks for a while after that. But she refused to get down and walk about outside. I guessing it's because she was scared? She's even more adorable now! When her mother asked her to show her teeth, she actually smiled and showed her central incisors! SO CUTE! I guess she didn't really know what we were asking her to do because after she smiled that goofy cute smile, she stuck out her tongue. hahaha.

After the dinner, the cousins headed to Winebar only to find out that it was full, so we changed to Clarke Quay which was also similarly full. But we managed to find some pizza place that could sit all 12 of us and had some drinks. We played some personality tests which turned out to be pretty accurate. I realised I've really been so sheltered, didn't know half the places my cousins were talking about. Haha. I really must try to be a rebel like Bel more often.

2008-05-28T18:55:00.002+08:00

I've decided to start blogging again. Although it'd be my first entry in a long long time, it has to be short. Rushing for dinner you see.

Many changes has happened to me since I've last blogged.. I won't elaborate on it, it's a private affair. Well for one, I've got to keep myself busy. That's easily done with school on now. But the holidays are coming soon, in 1 week to be exact. Then there'll be CSS FOC camp for one week. Thank you (olivia and yvonne) for asking me to come be a part of it, otherwise I wouldn't have the guts to go, since I don't really know anyone there! haha.

I'll be going to Vancouver in early sept, booked the flight already. Exciting stuff! We'll be in Vancouver for about a week, then take a bus to Seattle for a few days, followed by Victoria (some town in Canada?) and straight back to Vancouver International Airport. :) And we're taking SIA! YES! =D

2007-12-02T22:22:00.000+08:00

it's the hols alr!!! =D the stupid DM test and what nots are finally over.. and i guess i was just too elated and hyper on thurs that while taking an xray for endo (i'm starting to dread endo btw), i accidentally hit my head against the corner of the xray machine! TA DA! it started to bleed. hahaha. got quite of a shock, and was quite worried. headed to UHWC to see the doctor. told the receptionists that i had a head injury.. so i thought i didn't need to wait long. afterall, it IS a head injury. but they made me wait one hour!!!! GR! and the doctor actually asked me if i wanted stitches!!! what a lousy doctor. OHMYGOSH. as if i'm the doctor, seriously. later the nurse that did my dressing told me that i didn't need to wait that long.. i think she went to scold the other two receptionists. hahah.. and she told me to come back for a second check up cos the lousy doctor didn't bother. anyway, my head is fine. just that i couldn't wash my hair for two days!! EEKS.

went to watch enchanted on sat! =D it's such a nice fairytale! hahahah...i can finally watch tv without feeling guilty. this hols is so well-deserved.

hm, still considering if i shld have a bday party. mummy wants one cos she says the house is too quiet. but i start sch on that day! haiys. and i dont feel like inviting anybody.. hehh. ohwells, we'll see. maybe we'll hold a xmas party instead! yay xmas!

2007-11-08T22:54:00.000+08:00

I've finally decided to update this.. but i don't really know where to begin. haha. ohwells, recently i''ve been busy studying for stupid tests and i'm already so drained.. but there are so much more to come! grr.. i simply can't wait for nov to end and the holidays to come! i suddenly have many ideas on things to do once again! hahah. but at least there's the labwork to keep me happier.. i really really so much prefer labwork to all the studying, even with all the REDO's. haha. but labwork's already coming to an end.. and clinics are going to start soon! i'm really excited yet scared at the same time! hahahah. by march next yr, i'll be able to start seeing patients! (hopefully)

anyway, daddy, mummy and greg has gone to france for about a week alr and are coming back tmw. i still wish i could've gone with them! :( sigh.. but at least we get to go to bangkok in business class!! HAHA. =D i'm just so deprived.. getting excited over sitting at business class. sigh, i just can't wait for the holidays to end. my sister has just started watching this very old korean drama, stairway to heaven. and i wanna watch it too!! but i prob shouldn't.. cos there isn't any commercial breaks in btwn for me to squeeze in a bit of studying. haha. qt said if i just focus on studying for an hour, i can study better than studying during commercial breaks. which is true, but i just can't pry myself away from the tv! i'm addicted! mwahahahha...

2007-09-28T17:21:00.000+08:00

cecilia and bertrand's wedding dinner was just full of dentists! my gosh.. about half the hall was filled with dentists? anyway, i felt so stupid trying to get there. firstly, while on my way to fetch qt from seletar camp, i realised i forgot the invite so i went home to get it. then after i picked her up, and after getting through the jam on the cte (whampoa flyover there), i realised i left the wedding present at home!!!!!!! ARGH. seriously i've got qt-toma. help. anyhow, i went back home again to get it and ended up being late for the dinner. then there was no parking lots so i had to park along a double zigzag line..while walking to the hotel, i realised i forgot to take the present out of the car!!! hahahaha. i think i just don't want to give the present. haha.. just kidding. ok anyway, i seriously felt so stupid then.

the tv and internet are the devils. they're distracting me from my work! grr. anyway, patho is over. =D the mcq and pots were kinda horrible.. sighs. pharmaco test coming up next week.. then we're going to have some public screening at toa payoh hub. yr2s are supposed to go and do the admin work or smth. i think i might have to brush up on my chinese. then nov is killer month! AH. i can just die.. there are so many tests! esp in the last 2 weeks. =( ohwells.. but school is kinda fun now, with the crown making tt we're doing. hahah.. we're gna see our end result soon! =D i was super excited when i first brought my full ceramic crown up to lab4 to hand it to catherine. heheh. okok back to trying to study.

2007-09-19T13:13:00.000+08:00

i had school on the first two days of hols. boohoo. ohwells, it was quite okay. then we (sam lee, edwin, desmond, shaoyong, qt, jt and i) went to timbre on tues night! the place was really cooling and the pizza there is really yummy! at first it was some getai music.. then later some guy called ngak was singing, and it was not bad.
we celebrated mummy's 50th birthday in advance with a party at home on saturday, inviting all her choir members.. okay not all. anyway, it was quite fun with karaoke, pool and line dancing. hahaha. the party ended later than expected, and i'm sorta glad i didn't go for quadfac.

then i spent my second week of hols with my stupid blocked nose and phlegm. it was super horrible cos i couldn't sleep at night, causing me to wake up late. i didn't feel like studying at all.. and i didn't feel like going out either. grr. and i still have phlegm every morning ever since the most strenuous swimming session with qt!

mummy's birthday dinner on friday was at SCC. woot. it was SOOO EXPENSIVE. ohmygosh. it was really fine dining.. there was the ambience, scenery of the padang, appetiser etc until a big group of rowdy pple came in to have dinner. :l after dinner, headed to serangoon to have drinks with iggy, gabriel and chris. it was quite fun, considering they're so intimidating (HAHAHA) and that i had a terrible stomachache.

during this hols, i watched no reservations, ratatouille and 881! no reservations was not bad, the romantic kinda show. ratatouille was nice! i felt so inspired to cook after that. haha. 881 had nice er hokkien songs! but a bit too draggy at some parts..

and today is iggy's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY IGGY! suprised him at midnight with 20 pieces of strawberry cheesecake and the 'invincible boy' blanket i sewed for him! HAHAHHA. which reminds me, i also sewed a dress for myself and a pyjamas dress for mummy! hoho. all because i was inspired by lizhen sewing her buffet night dress. but it was quite fun, don't dare to wear the dress out tho. haha. the hols are alr ending.. =( so sad. grr. can't wait for the stupid tests to finish!

2007-09-04T17:03:00.000+08:00

buffet night '07 at Changi Yacht Club

school hols has finally started! time for all of us to rest and go into hibernation mode. =D

i think i'm becoming a greenie/brownie mini point. haha. too much of it, but i somehow just can't help it. ohwells..

2007-08-19T10:23:00.000+08:00

float's over.. the performance went well! but we didn't win anything. ohwells, at least we managed to show up a working float at the padang! hahaha. and of course, there'll always be the bonding between us and the juniors.

the side bush!
the uncompleted float..

school has already started for a week. i think all the seniors have somewhat lost the momentum.. but then again, there's only 2 more weeks of school left! =D can't wait! haha. as for now, i've got to study for my Dental Materials and Occlusion test. =( both on the same day! eeks. ohwells, jia you jia you!

2007-08-05T21:08:00.001+08:00

float for the past week has been so tiring! haven't been watching much tv either.. =( haha.

on saturday, i ended up sleeping my whole afternoon away! i didn't realise i was THAT tired... i went for mass in the evening, followed by uncle subra's birthday party at bistro @ seletar (which is mrs kumar's bistro!). today, iggy and i went to watch knocked up. it's a rather boring show actually.. compared to what i expected. also, the chairs at junction 8 are so uncomfortable now! probably cos i've been going to amk hub recently. ohwells, float again next week. now that it's at a comfortable stage, i don't want it to end! because when school starts, it means that our tests are coming! but at least, the holidays are coming too! =D

2007-07-24T22:32:00.000+08:00

i spent last week trying to get my mind to focus on the OD theory test. fortunately, i didn't pay much attention to it because the third qn was totally unexpected! it was about amalgam and it's high copper/low copper differences! ugh! anyway, i met up with my secondary sch class at annaboo's house after the test. =D haha.. mahjong is such fun! we should have another mahjong session soon! but our class seems to be gradually decreasing in size. it's quite sad, but then again it's probably because everybody's overseas! oh yes, i finally got my shopaholic and baby! haha, yes it is a very bimbotic sounding book, but it's extremely funny.. and i just realised that the lead character reminds me a bit of qt because they both make me laugh a lot!

anyhow, friday was a super busy day. firstly, i had float duty. then shareen met me in school, and we headed down to nick lee's place. when we reached there, we accidentally rang the wrong doorbell twice! = luckily there was nobody at home. haha. later, we went to meet joyce, nick koh and serene at bukit panjang plaza. it's my first time there..and the floor at ntuc is super slippery. okay, that was out of point. so we went back to nick lee's place, played a few rounds of saboteur and i had to go off already! drove all the way to chinatown, and i was super late because of the stupid jam. (I HATE JAMS!) met the family for nick (my brother)'s farewell.. it was kind of weird because my mum was trying to matchmake my cousin and some girl from her choir. haha. after that, daddy dropped me off at beng hiang restaurant for my line dinner! everybody was there except for boon thye, and i finally met the others who didn't come for the first line dinner! we left soon after (by the time i reached there, i was about 2hrs late) then maymay, junejoo, irene, clement and i had a short talk outside chinatown mrt. haha, i can't wait to graduate already!

on saturday, iggy and i finally got down to watching harry potter: the order of the phoenix. hmm, i guess it was alright but there were some parts that were a bit boring. anyhow, had a yummylicious dinner on saturday! there was shepherd's pie, baked macaroni, soup, tow huay and CHOCOLATE FONDUE! yummy! =D anyway, we went to see nick off.. we should be going to visit him in france end of this year and spend christmas in geneva with auntie may! so exciting!

ohwells, school is almost over already. a few more days till float starts! oh the horror. hopefully we have our planned stayovers at shynlynn and namly's places! hee.

p.s. SLSL, is my entry better now? haha.

2007-07-16T17:03:00.000+08:00

school on friday ended off with amazing race! the juniors were really fast, as compared to our precamp. probably cos we were all slacking during precamp. HAHA. ohwells, ended up reading my magazine than studying for optech. went to vivocity after stations with yeeleng and jingting to go shopping for awhile. :l we bought last minute camp stuff of course! haha. headed to sentosa, checked out the room, slacked awhile then headed down for bbq. bbq this year had much more ventilation but many more cats too! =( i hate cats.. especially that greyish one which was so enthu and pple-friendly. EEKS.

the whole of saturday was games games and more games, plus dance auditions in the afternoon where we slacked and talked in the room! HAHA. the aircon is so shiok. =D more games in the afternoon.. followed by dinner and preparation for fright night. by then, i was so tired that i felt like sleeping. had our make up done, got dropped at dragon trail and walked through it. the effigy was REALLY SCARY. hahaha. just looking at them drop it (without being the tester) was scary enough...and we scared ourselves cos the string holding "edward" was moving. haha. got to my station which was really dark, dirty, and scary. i was so scared cos of the stupid effigy and my imagination, the possibility that there could be an animal lurking in the dark (CAT), as well as for the fact that i was almost alone during the trial! okay la, qt subbed for lydia in the beginning. haha. anyhow, while waiting for the trial testers, we were all at the open air space having a mini picnic eating gummy bears when all of a sudden, this pair of guys came up and asked if we were from the dentistry orientation camp! sigh. they were the trial testers. :l hahahha. in the end, we showed them the stations and only realised they were so fast cos they went the wrong direction at the second station and skipped all the stations to reach the end! haha it was quite funny then. we had another picnic after the trial was done, followed by the real thing! some pairs weren't scared at all, so it was quite demoralising. but some pairs were super freaked out, which made us super happy. hahaha. see how sadistic we are. =D ohwells, by the time we got back to our room, it was alr 4 plus.

woke up early on sunday to pack and check out. had our fashion show.. and we, the saxons, won! =D mwahahaa. three years running. the juniors next yr have so much pressure. anyhow, had og lunch at vivocity after we were dismissed. went over to iggy's house and fell asleep there. :l came home to change and i realised that we've got a NEW TV!! HAHAHA. so big la. then now the old tv has been moved upstairs, and the old old tv has been moved into my parents room. haha. shiok. went for mass with iggy in the evening, followed by dinner with iggy and friends (chris and gab) at bishan S11. went to junction 8 where we met iggy's understudy victor to get the cd for his computer game diablo cos they gave him an empty box. hahaa. dessert after that - mango pudding! yummy! =D came home and watched ugly betty. haha.

now i have to start studying optech. =( so tiring.

2007-07-11T18:46:00.000+08:00

went to watch transformers with iggy on saturday. i think amk hub's becoming a regular place for me! haha. haven't been going to j8 to watch movies since it opened. dinner at grandpa's house as well as watching wimbledon! =) watched federer vs basquet and part of venus williams vs botelli (?). it was so exciting! HAHA. we actually thought that botelli may not even get on the scoreboard. but she did! and she gave williams a good fight in the first set. her returns were also pretty decent and consistent.

sunday was spent out at town and carrying baby sarah! =D haha. okay, didn't carry her much cos now she's bigger so the other cousins have "kidnapped" her! =( ohwells.

monday, stayed back after school for the taize session with nic lee, nic koh, joyce and marianne. initially we all thought we would fall asleep during the prayer session, but we didn't! okay, i did fall asleep at the part where they showed the video of the place taize in france cos i was really tired. but i didn't fall asleep during the prayer session afterwards. in fact, some of the songs were really nice! - Lord Jesus Christ, your light shines within us. Let not my doubts nor my darkness speak to me. Lord Jesus Christ, your light shines within us. Let my heart always welcome your love. - i didn't join the rest for supper after the session, but instead i got caught in a traffic jam all thanks to two accidents! i hate jams!

camp's coming soon! i'm looking forward to it and not looking forward to it. OD theory test coming up soon too. =(

2007-07-07T22:28:00.000+08:00

although school has just started, it is already super tiring! everyday is spent trying to stay awake during lectures (esp occlusion), rushing here and there during lab sessions trying to get as much done as possible, rushing to pack up and leave the lab by 1/5pm! sigh. then for once in my life, i have so many after school activities. hahah. i had float on monday and friday, css bbq at pasir ris on wed, og dinner at vivocity on thurs night, and qt's midnight surprise bday+supper on friday! it was so exciting. hahah. although she found out thanks to all the little clues we accidentally gave her, but she still got boo'ed by us! hahah. cos she thought only the guys turned up, and we girls shocked her with our presence! =D it was quite a great turnout actually.. it was shynlyn, jt, namly, lydia, kayeng, jianxiong, weicheng, shaoyong, edwin, desmond and synntian (who were both extremely late and missed the surprise!). then today i went to watch transformers with iggy! it was much better than i expected it. no wonder there was so much hype about it. after the movie, i myself got a surprise! HAHA. from my ex-classmate. OMG. it was so shocking that i had to immediately message fitri and charles! hahaha.

thanks to all the activities, i have been down with flu, ulcers and a sorethroat. it's the redang sickness back to haunt me! =( i have four ulcers! UGH. ultra painful.. so sian. luckily i didn't sign up for the adhesive dentistry conference this weekend or i'll just die from fatigue. haha.

back from CSS (catholic students society) FOC and koh samui alr.

koh samui was not bad. really really HOT tho. haha. there was absolutely no breeze.. and bargaining was a chore in the afternoon. so i just prob spent my days eating international buffet breakfast, lazing ard, beaching, swimming in the pool, throwing an orange ard in the pool, and shopping at night! the airport itself was really interesting. it's seriously like a hut next to the runway. hahaha. and the weighing machine (to weigh the luggage) is like those kind to weigh vege or stuff at the market. it was really cute!

CSS FOC was really good.. now i look back and wish i was there from day 1 or even for facil camp... recon night was superb! i really felt at peace after that. my whole og, FIJI, was a joy. seriously, they were just very enthu and all. we had great cheers, and a great skit that won us best skit! hahah. it was fun being bimbo mami with bimbo pants and bimbo poko. of course not forgetting dr fiji-tee, the conductor/crab, three blind mice/crab and the two mount fiji's! and it just seemed like we were one really big family... like everybody's just joking ard with each other, there's no politics.. and of cos there are those serious times when we're praying or reflecting on our life.. a refreshing change from sch life. =) ohwells, thanks to everybody and God for the enjoyable time!
as for today, met iggy to watch fantastic four: the rise of the silver surfer at amk hub cathay. hahaha. not bad la i guess. and the theatre's finally open too! hee.. the holidays are here, more movies to watch! more gatherings! just found out there's gna be a four faith gathering.. and of cos an og outing on the 29th! =) can't wait alr.

2007-06-03T14:10:00.000+08:00

competency test was over on monday. passed it. phew. haha, but i really do think that i shld've failed. especially so if i consider the reasons that some of the others have failed. ohwells. first aid and hrm test next week, both open book. :l so slack. and that's the last week of sch! =D off to koh samui after sch on friday. back on monday for css foc.

had 09/04 class bbq yesterday at east coast. hahaha. everybody's abt the same, especially the guys who keep on talking abt their army stuff!!! ohwells.

2007-05-21T18:39:00.001+08:00

today's a very exciting day! hahahah. okay, did an impression of my very first patient - sarah! mwahahha. i was so excited la.. cos it's my first time putting my hand into someone's mouth. =D hee. it was so scary! esp when we were in a rush to make the mould before the lab closes. my hand was even shaking, so there was no need for the vibrator. HAHA. yeah right. fortunately, my impressions were rather successful! heh. anyway, tmw's my turn to be the patient and hope there's no bubbles in my mould!

2007-05-18T23:24:00.000+08:00

it's friday! hahah. okay, yesterday was really busy. lectures/lab work from 8-5pm with only half an hour break! yikes. we dental students sure are busy. anyhow, today was much better cos we had half day! had lunch with my classmates at kopitiam, then i came back to rest for awhile. afterwhich, drove down to town to meet iggy and his army friends chris, zach, gabriel and vishnu. okay, it was actually really weird to go out with his army friends. felt so awkward, and they all looked so intimidating! hahaha. sickening iggy went to tell them that i was scared of them. anyhow, watched blades of glory! it's really good if you need to cheer up at the end of a tiring week. after the show, iggy and friends went to clarke quay to drink while i went to robinsons to meet the family. i think i'm a real swa-koo. hahahah. i haven't exactly gone to clarke quay...or any other 'funny' places. so i guess my new resolution is that i must go and try out new places. sigh. looks like grandpa's methods worked very well on me. hahah. so i must try to resist.. hmm, shall follow iggy on his little adventures with his friend so i can be a pai kia. HA HA.

2007-05-16T18:17:00.000+08:00

hmm, a certain SLSL has been complaining that i haven't blogged in eons. so HELLO SLSL! hahahaha.

anyway, i've put on my braces, and i look like the famous ugly betty. esp with the hair, so i shall not leave it down unless at home. haha. so far, it hasn't stopped me eating so much. the only troublesome thing about it is when my lab buddy sarah is gonna take impression of my teeth. so school has alr started..this is the second week already. it's tiring yet also a bit fun. but i guess with everybody so stressed abt finishing their optech/occlusion stuff, it gets a bit frustrating, then i get chao sian...ohwells, driving has been a chore. almost every morning, i try my best to keep my eyes open while on the road. then going back home, i have to go thru that stupid jalan kayu road which is 'ugh' to drive thru. and i've also been rushing to the car after sch everyday cos i'm so scared of getting stuck in a jam! i think i've jam-o-phobia. haiys, so tired so tired. weekends coming soon.. another birthday party. this time for greg. bel had hers last sat. so happy birthday to greg and bel!

2007-05-03T10:42:00.000+08:00

hmm, the past two weeks after redang have just been about swimming, eating, sleeping, movies, little bit of shopping, and occasions that have something to do with babies! for instance, sarah's one month, and dinner cos of my mum's new godson emmanuel. so cute. =D

anyway, hols are really ending soon! and i'm going to get season 3 of house to watch only tmw. :l going back to sch today cos of iggy's interview, and i'm taking the opportunity to go visit the co-op. meeting lulu and fitri in town after that to celebrate lulu's birthday! tmw's gonna be an exciting yet scary day! marks my torture for about ten months. you all shall see when sch reopens or something.

anyway, there's been a lot of talk abt a person's "deep side". and i find that it always has something to do with having a blog.. hahaha. ohwells, i don't like to write about my "deep side" on a public blog. but then again, maybe i have no "deep side"! ha!

2007-04-23T10:28:00.000+08:00

hmm, back from redang since friday morning but i've just been too lazy to update. anyway, my mum said i look tortured after the trip - ulcers, sorethroat, lost weight etc. hahahah. and i've darker legs too! :l

1st day:
met at 10pm at golden mile tower for the bus trip! bus trip was okay, couldn't sleep much either cos we were too excited or the engine was chao noisy.

2nd day:
reached the place at abt 8 smth and we had to wait till 9 for the ferry! ferry was a bit motion sickness inducing. haha. so anyway, after a dunno how long ride (we were mostly sleeping) we finally reached redang! the water, beach was so beautiful! =D then we got out of the aircon boat, and boy was it hot! anyhow, after settling down, we headed to the beach, had lunch, borrowed snorkelling gear, snorkelled in the shallow waters, snorkelled in the marine park somewhere else where we fed fishes and took photos. after that, back for tea, bathe change, dinner, karaoke, sleep.

3rd day:
woke up, breakfast, snorkelling in the open sea (where we got cheated cos we didn't see baby sharks and turtles!!), lunch, icecream, beach volleyball/touch rugby, lazing around on the hammock while others played banana boat, dinner, walked to some empty beach bar and decided to go back to our own resort lounge cos it has aircon, chit chat, sleep.

4th day:
woke up VERY EARLY, checked out, breakfast, speedy gonzales boat ride to some other ferry terminal to take a ferry back to tengganu (?), bus ride to some little holding place, polar bear game, walking around with shynlynn, bus ride to bus interchange, 8hr bus ride to KL!, zhong ji mi ma in the bus, reach KL, headed for dinner at some hawker shops near the hotel, watch tv and sleep.

5th day:
buffet breakfast, shynlynn's house to see justie (her dog), sunway lagoon, fight between sunway lagoon pple and shynlynn (exciting!), shopping at sunway pyramid, dinner at namly's recommended restaurant in Low Yat Plaza, watched a supposedly SCARRYYYYY #1 malaysia box office hit show called Don't Look Back. CHAO LAME LA. we were mostly laughing throughout the show.. you could even see the strings attached to the ghost, and the ghost looked like it was flying about like yang guo and xiao long nu. :l i think it's worse cos we all expected to be scared out of our wits! fortunately, the movie ticket was cheap (RM9 only - about $4?). back to our hotel, tried to scare the guys with antics from the show mwahahha, and they tried to scare us back. :l

6th day:
buffet breakfast, pack up bags, check out, dim sum lunch at Low Yat Plaza (YUMMY and CHEAP), went to chinatown for more shopping! didn't buy much though, bought few tshirts for everyone, tau sa pia and hiong pia and a bag for mummy (which she can't bear to use :l). ohwells. headed back to our hotel area for dinner at some street side stalls, and then off we went to the sauna-like bus interchange. haha. bus ride back was short, and we were all so tired so we slept very well. oh yes, except for the dripping water. hahha. cabbed back with jianxiong and shaoyong. was in bed by 4am! hee.

okay, that was a VERY brief summary of what happened. hahaha. yup. okay, gtg prepare for my float meeting and swimming session with jt and qt to relive those snorkelling memories! mwahahha just kidding.

2007-04-14T10:23:00.000+08:00

iggy had his btt on wed, and of course he passed it! went swimming after that. died after swimming 10 laps. :l haha. that's the result of no exercise. anyway, thurs wakeboarding was cancelled.. so i started watching devil beside you!! which is uber nice. hahhahaha. i finished it last night, and i was crying during the last episode! altho the guy is quite shuai and has a nice/cheeky killer smile, i almost wanted to kill him for abandoning her and going off to italy! okay la, he was still very sweet. the girls in this show really fits the phrase nan ren bu huai, nu ren bu ai. haha. ohwells. off to redang/kl later with almost half the class! hope the bus trip goes well, and hope nothing happens to us. =D

2007-04-10T23:31:00.000+08:00

just typed a really long entry but it disappeared. so i shall just post photos of the stayover. oh yes, and watch the robinsons! it's a nice and touching show. =D

sunkist girls! =D

shall post a more normal photo of slsl and glam photo of synntian cos they have LOTS of censored unglam photos. HAHA.

2007-04-05T11:53:00.000+08:00

yesterday, drove all the way down to east coast park. got lost on the way because there was no right turning. anyway, met jingting, qt, and sam lee for kayaking. the others went for windsurfing and had windsurfing courses. so we kayaked all the way from "the middle of ecp" to pa sea sports club to go see the rest! anyhow, we had a quick lunch at tampines 201 or smth. then we went to jt's house.. which is very nice and cosy! there's this sleepy atmosphere in her room. haha. so she and qt had a bath, we waited for sam lee and synntian. then cos i had cramps and couldn't drive, sam lee drove us back to my place! hahahha. it was quite scary, cos before driving off, he asked whether the gear shld be at D all the way and which one was the brakes. :l but, we got back safe and sound. haha. then we watched colic, which was quite gruesome, but a bit funny at points. after that, we had a rushed dinner then we went to meet the class at heeren, vill'age. most of the class was there, about 35 of us i think. chit chat, laughing at shynlyn, small meeting about the float landscape, and photo taking. it was all fun.

then i got pissed. but i shan't mention why cos i've cooled down alr. =D

today shall just be slacking day, recovering from my aching left shoulder thanks to the kayaking.

2007-04-03T11:39:00.000+08:00

all the viva results are out and none for me! =D

anyway, i woke up on fri morning feeling lost. haha. because for once, there was no studying to do! so i spent my whole day watching house! went out in the afternoon to meet mummy for shopping.. and on the way to esprit, i met gerald, liyun, jingting and friend there! haha. they so happened to meet each other also. anyhow, managed to control my spending at esprit, which is good! met daddy and greg for dinner at thai express afterwhich i dropped greg at church then headed to iggy's house.

saturday morning, woke up to go swimming at occ. but then, there was a swimming competition going on. :l so we had to go to the hotel pool to swim. after the super short swim, went to junction8 to watch music and lyrics! it was well, romantic.. haha. and the song way back into love is nice, but i can't seem to rem the tune. anyway, bought a cheap top from U2 for the redang trip! $5 only! haha. bought sunblock, lipbalm etc too. went home, went to church (palm sunday, and greg was singing the responsarial psalm in front of his whole cat class!), went to iggy's ahma's house. came home and watched more house. =D

sunday, lazed about the whole morning.. watching ER with mummy. haha. feels good because i used to feel so guilty when i did that during exam time. went to serangoon for lunch, borrowed some vcds from video ezy. came home, and watched more house, again. haha.

yesterday, went to macritchie reservoir in the morning to meet lydia, namly, jingting and deb for kayaking! BUT, it was closed. :l so we went to bishan park to see if there's cycling, BUT, it was closed too. everything's closed on monday! so we went to buy lunch, visited lydia's house then they came over to watch john tucker must die. haha. pure chick flick. sat around talking, playing pool and eating for awhile before dropping them off at yck mrt. last night was tv night! so i spent most of time glued to the tv. haha.

i've got nothing planned for today.. so i decided to clear my cupboard! i wish i had my own cupboard because it's so frustrating to clear my side, and see bel's side so messy. but i can't clear for her, because i don't know what clothes she wants and what she wants to throw! ughh. ohwells, at least i managed to clear some stuff. but i still have alot. :l shall watch more house later. haha.

for the rest of the week:
Wed - swimming with jt and qt, dinner at vil'age with the class, stayover at my place again
Thurs - stayover till afternoon, slp/watch more house
Fri - Good Friday mass, tennis with the guys?
Sat - don't know yet.. maybe laze around.
Sun - Easter sunday!

and next week, there'll be chinatown shopping with the girls! =D

2007-03-29T22:40:00.000+08:00

hoho. exams are over! namly got anat distinction viva and qt got biochem distinction viva! =D so smart. ohwells, good luck! two viva's out, two more to go. PLS NO extinction VIVA FOR ME!

2007-03-28T14:55:00.000+08:00

physio today was horrible. during the paper, i felt like killing dr lee. despite knowing that tmw is the last paper, i just feel very drained.. and tired and sad. =( haiys. horrible horrible horrible.

oops. just realised that it may not be my last paper tmw. if i kena physio extinction viva! sigh.

2007-03-27T20:06:00.000+08:00

i'm in the middle of my exams now.. well, anat was alright but TOTALLY unexpected. okay, except for a few questions.. but still. for biochem, i didn't know there were gna be 15 10m qns + 3 30m qns. :l i only thought there were gna be 10 10m qns + 3 30m qns. anyhow, managed to finish all eventually.. even before time. after finishing the paper, i thought "hmm, not bad.. maybe can do as well as my last paper". after discussion with the BIOCHEM QUEEN qt - who's definitely going for viva even without studying much - i felt so horrible! i just hope to pass... i can't believe i forgot abt all the simple stuff that was.. well, simple and shouldn't be forgotten. haiys. anyway, physio then oral bio left. hope i don't get any vivas!

2007-03-22T13:04:00.000+08:00

hmm..i just realised smth. quite a few pple tend to blog more when it's exam time. well i do. prob after exam, too busy playing! haha. can't wait!!! sigh. i think i'd just burst with joy. this is like the first REAL holiday after entering dentistry. the dec hols were full of crap because there was biochem, anat, and physio CAs after the hols. after this holiday, it'd be special sem, and it'd just be more labwork (yay) and dental lectures (sigh)! but then for this holiday, i can just enjoy myself. can watch house all day without feeling guilty.. and more tv, movies and shopping trips for me! =D

this reminds me of the times in ke.. we always celebrated the end of a test with a late night supper, mahjong etc. or we'd go vivocity/town until quite late.. so we end up even more tired than when we were studying for the test. haha. ohwells.

2007-03-19T12:16:00.000+08:00

hmms, been posting really often nowadays. but ohwells, i'm bored.. and somehow super uber tired. i don't really know why, but i literally had to drag myself out of bed this morning. not only that, i couldn't stop falling asleep at the table!

anyway, i realised that i'm really fortunate to have my parents. i was talking to mummy about dentistry the other day.. and she was telling me about the plans daddy had for me. it was like he was preparing for me to take over his clinic in a way that i wouldn't need to do much hard work - like working for long hours like he initially did when you set up a new clinic - so that i can balance my future family life. sigh. but then again, i wouldn't get to experience the hardness of life etc.. and i'll be cooped up in the little corner in serangoon! not that i'm complaining.. i'm not much of a social bee. ohwells, i'd better concentrate on graduating first. haha.

2007-03-18T00:12:00.000+08:00

just came back from diona's birthday party! haha. had our small 4faith gathering which was great. too bad i have exams coming up. ohwells. let the pictures do the talking..

btw, the theme of the party was ponytails.. that's why all of us are in ponytails.. not cos we're all acting cute tgt ok!

2007-03-14T15:36:00.000+08:00

oral bio prac was alright.. went better than i expected. results of dental morph are finally out. what can i say.. i expected it.. but of course, i was hoping against hope that it wouldn't be the case. ohwells.. what can i do but mourn and complain that i'm the lousiest in my clique! HAHA. just kidding.

anyhow, due to my postprandial stupour and therefore inability to study, as well as the seriously painful cold sweating stomach ache last night (which caused me to miss the last part of hana kimi!) i shall go watch hana kimi now. hahah.

2007-03-13T13:51:00.000+08:00

went to auntie donna's house on sunday. bedok reservoir was so beautiful! hahaha. i think it's my first time going to bedok... and the place looked like australia or smth. auntie donna's house was really next to the old prison. as in, if the prisoners were to escape, they'd be going into their house. hahaha. ohwells, the garden and tree house was huge! too bad i couldn't try the flying fox.. cos the height was only fit for samuel. after that, headed to ikea tampines. headache once again. that place has too many things to look at seriously. came back and cont to play trauma centre! mwahahaas. it's super exciting, but i hate it when the instructions aren't very clear and i end up killing the patient cos of that. ohwells, better get back to studying.. =(

2007-03-08T11:28:00.000+08:00

it's alr march.. which means finals are coming soon! haha. okay, it's almost 2 weeks to finals. yikes. anyhow, got thru anat spots and oral bio CA and am very pleased with both the results. haha. just left with another oral bio practical test..

ohwells, thought i had something to blog abt but apparently i dont.

oh yes! finally meeting fourfaith next week! for diona's bday party. long time no see. =D and that day is also the day where i can remove that P plate! one year of horrendous driving. sigh. which reminds me, watched some dvd called driving lessons yesterday. it was a so-so show... the old lady's just quite funny and reminds me a bit of auntie may and grandma. haha. watched miss potter and k19:the widow maker over the weekend also. miss potter's nice.. but ended a bit abruptly. watched k19 cos mummy had to do some leadership skills evaluation. hahaha. she kept asking us abt the leadership styles of both leaders during the show! so irritating. hahahah. just kidding. anyway, daddy's 50th bday this saturday. so Happy Birthday daddy! even tho you don't read this. =)

2007-02-28T17:48:00.000+08:00

i just woke up from sleeping face down and i have the horrible joint aches ever. almost couldn't get out of bed to switch on the lights. hahaha. oral bio really puts you to slp, anywhere anytime. anyway, anatomy spots is over. it was horrible too. there was some thigh muscle thingy we had to name.. and i couldn't rem the name so i just wrote thigh muscle there to remind myself. it was only after the test that i realised i left it as thigh muscle! hahahaha. sam ong did that too...but tt was cos he had guts. :l

ohwells, sent auntie swee and peter off yesterday. maybe the last time i see them! which is quite sad la.. nick's going off to france tonight for ten months.. so exciting, yet so scary. but at least he's going with a bunch of his friends! they're going to buy a car over there.. said it's quite cheap. so lucky. i just realised that including all the delays etc, by the time he finishes this course and gets his wings, i'd be studying for my yr2 final yr profs! how time flies... if he got into dentistry too, he'd be my classmate now and hopefully be busy worrying abt FYE and not flying off to france. but then again, i guess he wouldn't be that happy in dentistry. hahah. ohwell, wish him luck in france! hope he gets top gun. heehee. =)

2007-02-23T12:29:00.000+08:00

the first day of cny. the four of us didnt plan on wearing blue... haha.

happy cny!

attended synntian's concert on friday. the plot was quite interesting.. although the front part was a bit draggy. but the dancing was good! haha. we were all busy looking out for synntian.

reunion dinner on sat was alright i guess. lotsa yummy abalone! =D hahaha. visited the columbarium on sunday morning, followed by going to grandpa's house for lunch, to the hospital to see grandma and finally to my uncle's house for dinner. monday was just us going to my uncle's house in the evening, playing mahjong and losing LOTS of iggy/daddy/the altis's money. hahaha. must be cos i studied anat in the morning! kan SHU! hahahah. watched ghost rider at night with both my maternal, paternal cousins.. all 18 of us! we occupied a whole row. hahah. the show was quite alright i guess.. but i find it unbelievable that nicholas cage has a six pack? it's a bit gross really.. haha. came back and watched the dvd dreamgirls with the parents until like 2 smth.. =l

tuesday, went over to iggy's house and fell sick! =( came down with cough, flu, and fever. the horror! spent the whole of wednesday sleeping cos i couldn't sleep on tues night. woke up at 12, ate lunch and i went back to slp until dinner time and my chinese show! hahaha. but then, wed night i also couldn't slp! and neither could i have slept last night! all for different reasons.. sighs. so sickening. i can't wait to be well again. daddy says it's related to my peeling lips. hahaha. prob got infected through there.. esp since i kept on peeling my skin off! then the infection spread or smth.. (according to the book). ohyes, cos of this flu, i've gotten my first ever nose bleed! hahaha. so interesting. but of cos it wasn't really pouring out... so not interesting.

2007-02-13T11:49:00.000+08:00

had a family dinner at poh seng last night, courtesy of auntie may and uncle christian! he's going back to switzerland soon hence the treat. my cousin peter is coming from switzerland today. so many relatives all over the place. sigh. which reminds me that nick's going to france end of feb! so exciting. but i don't think we're going.. cos he'll be back in june for a simulator test. unless of cos his course is delayed.. then france here we come! hahah.

i can't believe physio test is coming so soon, still feel so slack. to think i was watching house on sunday. anw, house is really quite good! the doctors are so unbelivably pro, sprouting out all the funny names of diseases to match the symptoms. and the thing that dr house doesn't actually visit patients is quite funny. hahaha. ohwells, back to studying GIT. =(

2007-02-07T17:17:00.000+08:00

hmm, haven't been blogging recently cos there's really nothing much to blog abt except if you want the daily happenings in school and at home? :l anyhow the only exciting news is that grandma has been home for about a week, and now she's back in TTSH. sigh. her condition is so topsy-turvy. physio and anatomy CAs are coming soon (sigh) and so is CNY! =D although they have cheated us of our chinese new year break with it coinciding with the midterm break. so sickening. class holidays in april at either redang or taiwan. shall see how, most likely will go to redang i guess.. since the pigs are more inclined to that trip. ohwells. tried queueing for the subway 10cents sandwich today! but the queue was simply impossibly long.. so we decided to just go home. haha. hopefully we didn't miss any important stuff during the rest of the practical! ohyes, and finals are coming in less than 7weeks! YIKES. so dead. haha. but that also means that the holidays and end of yr1 is coming in 7weeks! YAY! then i'll be moving on to yr2, phew. but with a super tight schedule for special term (and the lectures are all on dental stuff only! but at least there's more labwork). i can't believe it's over soon! and my dad asks why i'm not studying anatomy. =( sobs, i want to but i have to study physio first.

2007-01-14T23:17:00.000+08:00

hmm, meeting the line seniors at fish and co was really quite interesting. although there were only 3 doctors - the founder of our line, dr audrey; dr robyn and dr shaun! and they were all late. :l well, it was kinda weird.. cos there they were talking abt her just set up solo clinc, she doing her last yr of orthodontics postgrad degree and him doing his surgery on a teenager who broke his chin because of an umbrella (thus being late). and there we were (june joo, maymay, irene and me) talking abt cario, optech, pharmaco etc! hahaha. i mean like in the future, we'd be like them.. talking abt our work, how some dentists have "died" from the stress in work, how some dentists are having triplets/babies, and how MUCH inbreeding there actually is in dentistry!! hahaha. i was really shocked.. i mean, there's even international inbreeding. :l okay, anyhow, i guess it was fun...next time we shall meet up with the whole line, hopefully. haha.

ohwells, it's been freezing the whole day. hopefully grandma can be discharged this week! it's been so long!

2007-01-13T00:07:00.000+08:00

biochem is finally long over. =) it was okay i guess.. i was a bit reluctant to hand in the paper tho. hahah. cos i couldn't think of some answers to stupid qns. anyhow, started on amalgam on monday! scary! but we've got dr shahul now! tues, i lost my voice. :l wed, went to vivo after school for shopping with jingting, lydia, namly and qt. thurs, had a horrible anatomy tutorial.. afterwhich i went to j8 to meet iggy to watch mahjong kungfu 3! which is a super funny show to cheer me up from the tutorial. haha. horrible flu, no voice, drowsiness later. and today, went to vivo once again after sch with the piggies without qt (she has become a panda! haha just kidding) to watch pan's labryinth! which is such a nice show! fortunately we didn't go to tiong bahru plaza to watch death note 2 with the guys... i heard it was a bore. haha. shopping a bit after that.. and i'm finally home to rest! hee.

last few days have been raining.. and the journey to school's been really irritating. 40mins worth of jams! UGH. one day, it was so bad that i started wishing that the car could fly... then i just need to point it in the right direction towards nus.. haha. and i even thought of my own runway for my car to land and take off - begonia road! haha. altho it's kinda slopy with bumps and all.. i think i've really got an imaginative mind.. must be the laryngitis (according to mummy). haha. ohwells, finally meeting up with my line doctors and seniors tmw!

btw, all the studying for biochem, oral biology etc has left me really amazed at how a baby can form in 9months. it's really a tough job! and we learn abt so many diseases.. that has quite a high chance of occurring, which is scary yet there don't seem to be many ard. but i guess it's just that we're not exposed to that many... in this case, it's really god's miracle.

2007-01-02T21:08:00.000+08:00

this is late, but HAPPY NEW YEAR! hahaha.

okay, i've been back from korea for quite some time now.. but i've just been too busy and lazy to blog! anyway, i shall just talk abt the korea trip and the families we made friends with! hahaha.

on the plane, i spent my supposed sleeping hours watching you,me and dupree and step up! which is a nice show.. so when we landed, there was snow everywhere! =D got on the bus to everland, and it was freezing! but we seemed to be the only family freezing. :l anyhow, didn't spend a long time there before we were off to our hotel at ocean castle. (btw, the journey's are super long)

the next day, we went for the spa! when we got out of the shower, we ran from the shower to the family spa area cos it was absolutely freezing! imagine, we were only in our swimsuits in a WINTER place. haiys. but it was fun. ahha. after that, we managed to walk around in the outdoor spas to try out diff flavoured spas like mint spa, green tea spa and so on. after changing up, we were on the bus to yong pyong! the ski resort! but of course we stopped off to rent our ski suits, and blades and some sledges for the night. when we reached yong pyong, there was winter sonata stuff everywhere!! hahaha. cos that's the place where they filmed winter sonata. so anyhow, we spent the night trying to build a snowman, riding the sledges and just taking in the view. we slept on tatami's that night.. which is like the korean way of sleeping! with mats on the floor, and a bean bag for a pillow. haha. it was quite uncomfortable.. cos the mat was so thin, but i guess the magnificent view from our window made up for it. hahaha.

wednesday morning, we all got dressed and hyped up for SKIING! =D hahaha. but first, we took a gondola up to the top.. my gosh, there was one person skiing.. he's totally pro. haha. saw winter sonata stuff again.. and it was freezing up there so i had to cover my whole face with the ski goggles and my scarf! hahaha. after that, we were taught skiing by our tour guide, donna, on the beginner slope. skiing is fun! hahaha. the part where you ski down of course. the part where you walk up the slope is HORRIBLE. after lunch, we finally persuaded daddy to pay 8000 won (kids rate, which is equivalent to abt $14) for each of us to go on the chairlift ONCE to the top of the beginners slope. so ex right. anyway, i came down the slope super fast! i was a bit scared.. so i just concentrated on not banging down anyone. hahaha. bel says it's cos my S weren't S enough. :l

thursday morning, we headed back to seoul. stopped at mount seorak on the way and took some scenic shots. had a snowball fight with the little kids.. haha. seoul was just abt shopping at dongdaemun, and going to all those shops like the korean ginseng shop to get extorted! oh yes, and we went to lotte world! where they also filmed full house! hahah. =D so anyway, it was fun in lotte world. just that we queued up for 1 plus hr to go for a ride that lasted less than 2mins. :l

anyhow, the families in the tour were all so nice! haha. except for like two antisocial families that didn't really talk much la.. but they're still nice. there were two cute boys! haha. zach and samuel. when i first talked to zach, it was cos he touched my hair.. and said that he recognises me from st hilda's primary school. :l HAHAH! and his father, uncle russell said i look like i'm in pri 2! that just made the record! haha. and he is so sensitive, he was so sad cos he saw an ambulance (cos that meant someone was injured) and when we were leaving for singapore. samuel on the other hand is so CHEEKY! hahah. he's only pri 1 next yr, but he wanted to join the older kids for the viking ride.. which went super high! like 75 degrees i think. anyway, before the ride, he said he was gna scream damn loud! then during the ride, he was hiding behind me! he's so adorable! hahaha..ohwells, the families may meet up at auntie donna's house (samuel's mom, not the tour guide eeks) which has a tree house and a flying fox! nice!

went out on saturday with iggy to celebrate our belated anniversary! happy 3rd anniversary iggy! watched night at the museum which was quite a nice show! haha. on sunday, the family had our xmas lunch at hospital with grandma. =D it was fun... cos the atmosphere was really there despite grandma being in hospital. and she was so happy that day.

anyway, my birthday's coming up and i've still got lots to study for biochem and my stupid cario assessment to do. SIGH. =(

(gna get so fat) and michelle loved the muffin tray!!! hahahahaha. she finally realised why corwin kept telling her not to buy a muffin tray. hee! anyhow, after all the potluck etc..drove to ttsh to park. couldn't find a lot.. so it was pretty exciting when i finally got one! ahhaa. it's a long story. mrt'ed down to heeren. long time since we went there.. walked around finding for jingting's present. qt finally came! my gosh, she's really so blur.. hahaha. she didn't know how to find the mrt from marina square. cos her dad dropped her there.. so she took abt one hour to come to town cos of waiting for the shuttle bus etc. deborah left earlier cos she had to go meet her mum while the rest of us went to cine to eat at some jap fast food! second time i'm eating jap food cos of them. haha. but me and qt are really alike. we both don't really like jap food so everytime we eat at a jap restaurant, we eat chicken teriyaki! yummy! =) anyway, continued to shop at wisma.. and smth super embarrassing happened when entering wisma! sigh. i think i'm gna get an or che (blueblack).. =( still couldn't find anything jingting liked so she decided to go vivocity to meet her parents. i went to meet the family back at ttsh. caught grandma screaming in pain.. haiys. so poorthing.. after that she was so exhausted. fortunately she's better alr. we came home, and i continued watching full house! i experienced withdrawal symptoms while stayin in hall cos i didn't bring my laptop.. hahha. anyway, i finally finished watching it today!! yay! so happy. ahahha. the show is so nice.. and of cos, the leads got tgt in the end! hee.

2006-12-01T16:12:00.000+08:00

dental morph is finally over! =D practical was a killer, and i realised i didn't study ALOT of stuff for this test. haiys. mcq was okay, lotsa repeat qns. after the test, went to vivocity with jingting, qt, namly and lydia! haha. so fun.. then we were thinking of what our actions and voices would be like if we were a wax statue in madam tussard's wax museum. had dinner at some olive and fig or fig and olive restaurant. all our food sucked except namly's.. but we drank lotsa lotsa water. so later when we were trying on clothes at zara, we were all so urgent! but still continued to try clothes.. :l hahahhaa. walked ard.. searching for the comms ball dress. sigh, so hard to find! but i realised forever21 has alot of dresses!! hee. came back at abt 10 plus, changed into running attire and met samuel lee for jogging. just when we were gna go, sam ong came back from running! hahaha. so we made him come with us. nearly died running la.. they all run so fast! i felt my spaghetti (dinner) coming out. haha. so weicheng joined the guys, while the three of us went to find namly at the eusoff gym. played around there for awhile.. i went on the treadmil! much nicer than mine.. sigh. then synntian joined us for supper, which we ate at the student lounge. talked until abt 130 plus.. then the four of us walked back to hall. then stupid sam lee and jingting kept talking abt her murderous hall neighbours and ghosts etc.. that we all didn't dare bathe after that! hahaha. but of cos we did. we're clean. =D

after histo today, went to woodlands area to canvass for funds with shaoyong and deborah. yikes! it's so FAR! anyhow, first few clinic visits were SO demoralising. all the clinic assistants were so well trained, they kept saying how fully booked they were. haiys. but then we came to this sunshine smile implant clinic or smth. it was alr abt 1plus. then the assistant said he'll take 1hr for the treatment, which is normal. then she said he'll have lunch and next patient at 2. but we waited outside the clinic (cos we were so demoralised and tired.. and decided to call the clinics). haha. then half an hour later, the doctor came out! and we ran after him! mwahahha. actually he was gna give 1000!!! he circled it! but after talking to his fellow colleague (and maybe wife), he decided to give us half the amount. ohwells, good enough. we reached our target! =D then later, we got another donation from another dentist. so out of all the clinics we went to and called.. we only got 2 donations, which has quite a big amount! hahaha. shiok sia.

anyway, HOLIDAYS ARE HERE! well, almost. hahhaha. can finally go out without feeling guilty!!! =D

2006-11-27T13:12:00.000+08:00

MWAHAHAHA. okay, that was a moment of egoness. but that's what he said ok! so the ONLY lesson for the day was over in 1.5 hrs.. felt like i wasted lotsa money, time and petrol rushing to sch. but ohwells, one lecture is expensive. haha. anyway, down with the flu. feeling horrible.. and tmw is ms leow's wedding! which is so exciting cos i get to see lulu, fitri and charles again! oh so fun! =D hee. although i shld really start worrying abt my dental morph exam. everybody's so freaked out abt it! yikes! hope i do okay! i haven't even finished my drawings yet... tsk tsk.

anyway, i think i've become more kiam.. especially when hanging out with the piggies. i guess it's a good thing.. but sometimes i've become to calculative, and maybe not generous enough. at these times, i feel super duper guilty.. then i talk myself into reverting to the more generous side.. but then, i go back to being super ms kiam! haiyo. looks like driving aint such a good thing afterall since it's giving me such a big headache.

2006-11-18T15:26:00.000+08:00

anyhow, monday.. went back to ke to clean up my room etc. had our potluck lunch which was quite successful! there were like FOUR cakes. :l hahah.. and there was so much leftover food. after potluck, we had optech. think i was pretty fast! haha..finished TCR1, RD 3, 4. now all i've left is RD1! =D so far, optech is the most fun part of dentistry!

tuesday, met darryl and dr ho for lunch at wisma atria pan. as usual, talked to him abt the course.. the future.. etc etc etc. after that, i went shopping for iggy's belated bday present. HAHA. so late. ohwells, no time! met olivia at paragon for her super EX haircut!!! but i guess it's rather worth it.. with all the advice etc. thinking of trying there the next time i cut my stupid hair. then we walked all the way to centrepoint.. to try to get chris a bday present. jem and teresa finally came to help choose the present. but teresa had to leave early. :l chris, brenda, marc and simon came later.. in the end, we ate at fish and co.. haha. it was good catching up. haven't seen them all for quite long.. cos i didn't go for CSS mass! yikes. anyhow, they got me all hyped up for christmas and the christmas bash!! =D

hmms, studying is a chore. haha. and i'm so distracted.. just now, instead of studying.. i ended up on the treadmill while watching the mistress of spices. :l hahah. HELP! and now i'm on the computer. later i'm going to assisi to drop the kid's toothbrushes.. i think i'm not going for training. mummy said i shld take the opportunity NOT to go back to ke for the whole wk. hahahahha. since i'm always there. :l some logic huh. kk, i have to go fetch greg from sch now. sigh.

YIPEE!

i finally attended CSS mass on friday evening. met some shabunians, marian and amelia. it was a commissioning mass.. rushed off immediately after mass to go back to ke. cabbed home with jingting and qiuting cos we had a stayover! =D haha. lydia and steph yeo came over later.. then we "studied", talked and made ruixiang's birthday card till 2am.. then we all were konked out. haha. had to wake up early for the home visit at bright hill evergreen home or smth like that. it was alright, but i couldn't really mingle with the old folks cos i don't know how to speak dialect! haha. after that, some of the class headed to junction 8 for lunch! and we (edgar, kayeng, shaoyong, lydia and jingting) even took neoprints! haha..i haven't taken neoprints in a super long time. went home, fell asleep...then i had to rush to go to trifac bash! haha. met kayeng, jianxiong, shaoyong, edwin for dinner at macs. saw theodora and her bf there. haha.. so sweet. then headed to gotham penthouse for trifac bash. our dance was super pro! and so fast.. then the girls were so sexy la. dancing after that wasn't very fun after awhile.. it was super hot and sweaty. cabbed back with jianxiong and shaoyong. came back at ard 12.. then bel was like, "huh!? are you sure you went clubbing!?!" hahaha...

i had to wake up early again on sunday to go for mass... came back, went out to celebrate mummy's birthday! we ate at Lawry's restaurant or smth at paragon. MY GOSH! so expensive!! but so much food! hahah.. buying the main course will entitle you to the buffet too.. i was literally bursting after lunch. the beef hash i ordered wasn't very nice tho.. it was a bit too salty. haha. went shopping with mummy and iggy after that. i felt super fat.. like a 3 month pregnant lady!!!! ahh! i really need to stop eating so much junk food. sighs.

ohwells, only came back to hostel this morning cos physio lect was cancelled. i got a lift from mark.. i initially thought he forgot to come fetch me cos he was late! haha.. but luckily he didnt. iggy came over to nus for lunch.. haha. quite awkward i think. but since he's confined for the coming weekend then okay... hahas. just finished watching chinese show. it's so sad!!! poor yingxiu.. sacrifice so much for jiyi/xuanyu... i don't think i'll be able to be like her if i'm in her situation! heh. anyhow, got tennis training later.. from 9 to 11! so sian.. so late. then we're gna have a surprise celebration for joanna's birthday at 12 midnight! hahah.. aiya, cannot slp alr! =(
