health


yesterday, met sarah at outram mrt b4 gg to SGH to visit dangni. waited for quite a while for toong yeng at the lift lobby b4 gg up to dangni's ward at level 7. chipped in the little card & a cute little beary which sarah had bought. Quite a big change i must say when i saw dangni at her ward. She had become more swollen compared with the last time tt i saw her which was actually back at school when i met her on the nus shuttle bus while i was rushing to the changing landscape lecture at arts. she was still very thin then which i think was about 3 months b4 she was diagnosed with a rare disease, aplastic anemia, when i just received yenching's msg at 8th june.


heard from dangni tt her reason of being swollen is due to the medication which includes steriods. hence, she is now having oily skin all over around her body esp her scalp which had became oilier & her back had acne breakout cos of her oily skin. must be damn pain for her to lie on her back. so, she got her hair cut shorter. well, i must say she still look great, still the joking mood tt she always had. really hope tt she will be strong and stay healthy until her first ATG treatment and hope tt she is able to get a bone marrow transplant and be cured from the illness.


yes, health is really important. everybody noes this, yet not many cherish them. i used to be one of them. but seeing so many pple getting sick so young n not to say that mum was sicked also, i really thank God tt so far i am still healthy though i know i m severely obese. n due to tt, i really want to slim down not becos of juz able to wear nice clothes n looked pretty in it but also more importantly i hope to stay healthy n not be at the high risk grp of getting diabetes n etc. but then, i m not a person of very strong-will, cos if i am i wld not be here blogging this post n still be so obese. i always tell myself to cut down on fatty food esp those fried stuff n my fav hainanese chicken rice. but, guess wat? during lunch, i wld forgot about my "Don'ts" n when i realised my mistakes, it was too late. cos i prob ordered my food or i hv finished my lunch halfway. i think i probably be fat my whole life and if i was destined to stay fat, i just hope tt i wld be a healthy fat ass.

timetable for next semester

whoa~~ finally gotten the timetable for nxt sem. it has been a long wait for me cos like i said in the earlier posts tt i hv always been very anxious in which modules i wld be doing as i do not want any core modules to clash with physiology. finally, i hv gotten wat i hv wanted and very the heng~~ i m in grp 1 so there's no clahes of the modules. heng arh~~

however, some of my frens is not so lucky cos though they wanted to do physiology too, but they were in grp 2 n there would modules clashes. very cham for them to need to find pple to swap semester grp with them. really "pei fu" the sch's kind of randomness... cos its like out of the 10 poly frens tt went to lifesciences in nus, (frm wat i noe) about 8 of us were in grp 1 already. wah~~ damn lucky to be with my frens sia. hmmm~~ hope tt i can get the 2 electives tt i m gg to bid for - general physiolody & food and health. i hv already show hand all my points in G acc and P account liao in the advance bidding... haiz~

hopefully if everything all goes well... i will be able to have thurs free! kekeke~

The Part of You That No One Sees

You are passionate, romantic, and emotional.
You put love first in your life, even though you have often been disappointed by it.
You expect to be swept of your feet, and you never expect infatuation to die out.

Underneath it all, you are scared that you aren't lovable.
Your insecurity has ruined many relationships, as you are unable to see the love that's really there.
You are secretly afraid of being alone. Confronting your insecurities is incredibly painful.
You Would Do Most Things For Love

You are willing to go pretty far for love - but not far enough to compromise your core values.
Love is a priority for you, and you'll go further than most people to hold on to someone you love.
But killing for love? Or even taking a bullet? Probably out of the question.
No matter what, you love yourself the most!


hahaha~ i not so siao to kill for love...
Time for a change


yeap~ its time for a change of my blogskin. it hv been like ages (like more than a yr already) since i hv change my blogskin. to give it a new look! hahaa~

hmmm~ like i said previously, hv been meeting quite many frens on the street. today just met boon shan again at the same spot near serene centre where she was heading for a jog at botanical gardens n i was heading hme. chatted for a while on out life. then, last sat while i was doing some crazy shopping in town, met ziqin at the taka b1 toilet. so qiao tt she just queing infront of me nia. n even saw a colleague, mun shee, last last sat at bt batok just i was alighting the bus n heading towards the mrt station for tution.

life do hv some surprises here n there but still it has been boring. as always. hv been working n working n working. oh my god! school is going to reopen le and for some of my frens who are taking special sem, sch hv already started long ago for them. poor thing... to think that my life is gg onto another cycle of study-tests-exams-holiday(holiday work for me) made me felt so tired. so so tired. well, its act the "study-test" part of the cycle tt made me felt very sick n tired. gosh~ can't imagine tt i m gg to study level 2 science where level 1 are killing me.

and at this pt of time where sch is gg to start soon, it had always made me felt nervous. this is so due to the nus bidding system n oso the allocated timetable. am very worried on which sem i m gg cos hope to be with the old click again ma... haiz~ dunno which sem i will be gg to n with whom... hope tt i wld no be allocated the module LSM2103 cos for this module, one of the lecture will clash with LSM 1201 general physiology tt i intend to take as my UE and it might be a prerequisite for me if i was to concentrate in biology. haiz~~~~~~

and speaking of this, i m super worried about my qian tu a.k.a future. haiz~~ sort of regretted into gg into lifesciences during poly. hv been cheated to go into this course. although i do love science since i m in pri sch, but it seems so useless esp the job market. there was a time think just when i finished my o levels, everyone was talking bout lifesciences until tt we were led to believed tt it does hv a bright future. well, as a matter of fact, it does hv a bright provided u're damn smart la. n me? i probably will be one of those lab technicians lor in a small lab earning like $2400 per month who was gg to live hand to mouth. oh no!!! its like no future lor, as u're not gg to earn big bucks in a small lab. not even if u hv a masters who prob will earn like $3000+.

ya~ call me realistic or materialistic but tt is the truth out there. heard frm jolene tt her friend who's a science grad n is now doing sales n her basic pay i $2800 excluding the commission. honestly, her friend is damn lucky to get such jobs n such jobs are hard to find lor. so regretted tt i din go n study banking. so envious of jiahui who's gonna earn big bucks... hahahaha~just kidding. i noe big bucks oso not so easy to earn. so, since i m gonna stucked in science for now, thought of might as well to concentrate in biology n become a science teacher next time. cos MOE pays their teacher quite well... hahahaha~~~ but anyway i can portray myself as a teacher teaching but not really a lab technician doing some mudane lab work. cos hv enough of those boring lab work in poly whilst doing final yr prj (gosh~ that was a hell lot of period).

so, thought tt doing conc in bio might be better for me if i were to teach bio in sec schs. but still nothing is confirmed for me. cos i can still be a science teacher even if i was gg to conc in other areas. so, really am in a dilema of which areas to conc in, since this coming sem will be my last chance of taking general physio since this module only open on the first semester of the yr. n next yr, yr 3 i ll be choosing my areas of concentration. haiz~ headache. no mood to await sch reopening.

what am i gg to be in the future where it do seem tt i hv a bleak one. help me~~~~

The Long Lost Sense of Satisfaction

went to town with sis just now. wanted to find yuhui to trim eyebrow but she was out on road show, so gotta wait till nxt wk when she's free. Checked my account, finally i've got my Jun's pay le!!! wahahaha~~~~ tt just spurs up my mood to go shopping!!! (which wld hv been a luxury for me for the past few months when i m super broke!!)

So, my first stop was Far East where my main objective there was to find shoes! Searched for a couple of the usual stores n did not find one which i think cld wore to lab. it was until quite long where sis n i wanted to give up then we found the covered shoes tt we wanted. So was quite happy to buy more new shoes which i seriously needs as i kept wearing my sis de when i go out.

Then, the nxt stop was Wisma Atria. There i saw one heels tt i absolutely want to hv at Pazzion. but bcos i hv just bought a pair of shoes, n i hv got alot of bags to carry (frm my later shopping), so i was struggling within myself if i shld buy it? Until now, i m still thinking of the heels though its not very ex. hmmm~ mayb if nxt week if i m still thinking of i might go n buy cos it's darn lovely!!!

At the Isetan wisma, saw one Calvin Klein bag tt i love, but its like $499. Gosh! I hv got the money but i dun want to part with my $$$... So, headed str8 to Ngee Ann City since sis wanted to buy Levis jeans. Selected the copper jeans design for her but sadly, her size is out of stock. So chose the Red Tab design n it fits her better than the previous. Hence, she bought the latter. Then, went to Guess & look at the watches. i found one watch very nice - it's the light brown strap with some embroidery on it n hv a gold face. but, i din buy it then as sis din caught anything tt fancy her. Hence, we proceed back to Wisma again cos sis wanted to buy one Adidas watch at City Chain. Her watch is those leather one n has a bright yellow face which is quite nice tt i oso wanted to buy. n somemore it's quite ok the price. After 10% discount its bout $148. hahaha~ lucky her still got discount!

After tt, me went to Isetan AGAIN, to check out the Guess wallet which is super cheap. $39.90 for a light brownish normal size wallet. Haaaa~ wat a catch! So just bought it w/o much consideration. Then, went to the CK counter again, n another cheaper yet nice bag caught my eye. this time was not so ex~ but still $399. GOsh!! i want tt bag cos its more hardy then the previous one tt i wanted. but wat the hell! though i m the person who hates to change bags n hence wanted to buy one more ex bag to "zou tian ya" -- "carry around"... but its still quite way beyond my budget for a bag to zou tian ya. diaoz~

& it was at this pt, the sales girl said tt CK got 40% off! i was like giving the "you must be kidding" kinda look n i even asked her is it selected items only? ** cos more stores in SG loves to gives discount only for selected items. But she said its for all items. OMG!!! i din think too much n asked her wat is the discounted price for the bag? She checked n it wa much cheaper, $239 after discount. So, i just bought it since its price is now much nearer to my budget for a more ex bag. bout the price for a Guess bag hence i cld sort of buy it w/o much thought esp when there's quite alot of discount! hahaha~ n to console myself, this shall be an early birthday pressie i give to myself.

So, after my victorious buys frm wisma, i head back to Ngee Ann city again **Yesss~~!!! aGaIn! (walked t n fro frm there)** to get the Guess watch which i quite like cos saw n tried a couple of the DKNY watches but it wasn't very much of a nice fit for my BAh BaH hand, n some was very much similar from my current watch so decided to try on the guess one to sit if it looks nice on me. i was almost wanting to give up looking for a watch cos all like not nice fit... then the Guess one was much better than the pevious few, so bought the watch as i m in a dire need of a new watch!! my fossil runs out of batt n i forgotten to bring to the dealer to change them n my dkny the strap a bit gonna give way. dots~ cos of my sweat la. my hands sweat a lot so the leather a bit split le.

After tt, decided to go to Cine the ipod shop over there to look at the ipod to see if there's still the 20% discount which bennie was talking about as she had bought her ipod video there. was contemplating whether to buy ipod video or nano since both got its plus n minus points.
nano - small n light n cheaper (4GB).
video - larger in size but more worthwhile comparing a 30GB video n 8GB nano as they costs the same.

In the end, there isn't much to contemplate about as the 30GB runs out of stock n stock wun be coming back soon. DAMN!! so i m left with the choice of a 4GB / 8GB nano or 80GB video. the 80GB can use as an external hard disk but good news for me tt i already bought an external hard disk like 4 months ago so wat foi need 2 external hard disk? haha~ so out of sheer impulsiveness, i bought the 8GB nano as i prefer the black colour out of the blue or pink 4GB nano. i paid the price n i kinda regret it then...nearly $500 for everything... esp i oso bought the red leather cover (in replacement for the red nano tt i cld not get it frm the shop as tey dun hv it! can you believe it? no red limitd edition nano?) & the FM remote controller (which enables me to listen to radio if i get sick of my songs n i absolutely needs radio n tt i no longer need to rely on my hp radio... hahha~).

Heng arh~ i split with my sis the cost. so i no need to fork out everything myself. this is when a sister comes in handy -- to split the cost n thats oso how i got my digi cam. or else i where got so rich one. i dun hv tt kinda money. i m just a poor girl who just gotten her salary. n yes~ in a day i spent a f$^%ing huge portion of my just gotten salary all for my impulsiveness tt i am proud of n which it gives me a sheer sense of satsfaction tt i hv longed for in so many months.

cos as many noes, i hv been damn broke esp thru out the schooling period n the exams period n even until jun i was still broke cos the stupid hr took very long to give my pay. it was until last week tt i got my may's pay n today then i finally got my jun pay so it was sort of like 2 months pay in a short time. my list of Wants are getting longer n so its time to shorten it. hahaha~ n it will not be long tt i will be broke again when sch reopens n i will be deprived of shopping Again for very long n God noes when i cld shop to my fill?

i noe i m siao to buy so many things at one go like the typical "bao fa hu" --> :like the uncouth once poor man who becomes rich overnight who goes on flaunting his wealth. hahaha~ but dun care la... i m really deprived of shopping for so many months n its time to pamper myself at least for just today.
