the bitch and slut

i am finding it hard

2008-04-27T06:05:00.003+08:00

to separate the important bits from the not-so -mportant
to recognise my personal way of doing things
to know what i want...
...from what is in my best interest
to just sit back and enjoy myself
to allow things to take a gentle pace
tp open myself
to curb jealousy
to stop eating junk food continuously

i am loving this song..

i am the team bitch

2008-03-23T03:33:00.002+08:00

saturday on call..
why we have to see all surgical patients, in every ward, in the entire building
is really beyond me

it's boiling in the hospital
and outside, it's alternating between outbursts of the last winter sunshine
and fribbin' icy snow and hail

after our epic sweep of the patients
i'm sent to buy the team pizza and spicy chicken wings

in the midst of the snow, in my open top shoes

all i was missing was a mini skirt to completely freeze myself off

vasoconstriction is really not a good look on me

on the other side

2008-03-19T02:04:00.008+08:00

as matt so kindly suggested, it would be informational (if not entertaining! *tadaah*) for me to blog about the comings and goings of a doctor

so, why not start with my registration at the GPs?

out of pills, in a new part of london. need to register with the GP and sort out my prescription.

registering involves being badgered with questions. and being on the questioning side of the equation takes all the power away.
this makes me realise how much health professionals can bore you with information you already bloody know

any family history of heart attacks or strokes?

paternal grandmother, in her 70s

and diabetes?

yes, type 2 in my paternal grandfather

any cancers?

lung cancer with lobectomy in my maternal grandmother. and she never smoked.

liver caner in my paternal grandfather. and he never drank.

so do you do any exercise?

i drive to work everyday. and rely on ward work for burning calories.

*haha*

riiight. you should really try to do more exercise. you should be aiming for 30 mins -- at least -- in a day. you've got lots of risk factors. and it'll help to reduce those.

do you eat healthy foods? do i need to talk about good dieting with you? you should aim to increase the vegetable and fruit content in your meals.

no shit. you don't say lady...

on the plus side, i was given loads of free NHS stuff

(note how i emphasized on the free. surely the student days of freebies has worn off now?)

contraceptive advice
condoms (yes! i'm under 25, i get those latexy honeys for free)
an STD test
a one silver topped pee pot for (apparently) "proteins and sugar"

WOW

honestly. if the NHS wants me to continue using the service, they need to think about candy and clarins products as giveaways.

now i've just come out the other end feeling fat and slutty.

x D

btw, i have a BMI of 19, a cholesterol of 3 and have been veryveryvery good with the other thing

i've GOT to be eating for two

2008-03-18T02:49:00.002+08:00

in order of consumption,

1 all butter croissant
over-ripe fairtrade banana
2 egg mayonnaise and cucumber rolls
portion of scampi
curly fries with gravy
cranberry juice
a couple of lifesavers (orange and watermelon!!)
packet of jelly babies -- in the car, whilst getting jiggy to mario
budini
4 squares of ricekrispymarshmallowy goodness
1 tall glass of tea

and it's not even dinner time..

someone please teach me the magic of calorie counting, or at least how to purge at will

x Diet?

ok, so i didn't go to a dance class...

2008-03-08T22:00:00.006+08:00

...but i did go to the union for the finalists' drinks
where there was plenty of drinks, dancing and friends friends friends.

Damage done

2008-02-18T00:28:00.003+08:00

Bangkok is a bad, bad place!

It makes you buy and buy like there's no tomorrow.
Dammit!

Damage done:
1 long shirt, had to because it was so cool.
2 rose body wash, had to because there's no Boots in Singapore
1 bubble bath soak, had to because the hotel was beautiful and I needed to have a bubble bath!
2 long shirts, for work, necessary.
1 zebra necklace, so cute! And it was only 150 baht!
1 pair of sneakers, for work as well! It was only 200 baht, from Tesco's! How cool?!
10 bras, have you heard of something called obsession?
5 panties, they came along with the bras, not counted!
1 nightie, it was a pretty color!!!
1 local designer dress, it's a one of a kind local designer! You don't get them in Singapore.
1 body massage, free!
2 foot massages, shopping is a tiring task!
1 mani-pedi session, must have!
1 bottle of choya, it's DFS!
1 bottle of Wolf Blass Grey, DFS!

I am now officially broke....

Pictures soon to come.

some things

2007-12-22T00:51:00.000+08:00

1. my computer has decided to flash black and blue screens at me, acknowledging the lack of certain folders which i didn't even know i had to begin with.

i am therefore without a computer or internet access until i decide what to do

2. 17 year old, intoxicated, high speed car crash comes through to A+E

my palms are sweaty like drip drip drip

and i'm soooo excited i want to put cannulas in, cut his clothes off and remove all those straps to the back board, but the nurses beat me to it, and i feel like a completely ignored medical student all over again

3. medicine is great for learning all sorts of interesting things

2 days ago, i was taught the true meaning of christmas -- where, as the story goes, isolated pagan villagers used to meet up and celebrate by having orgies under the mistletoe, so as to "spread genetic material"

today, i learned all the wicked-est "medical acronyms" FLK, TUBE..

and i think, god, we are a naughty bunch.

but can i really say FUBAR BUNDY?

xx D

BTW, merry christmas loveys

goodbye to the wicked

2007-12-12T04:44:00.000+08:00

happy, easy, laid-back

this is mostly ME

but i have managed to spend the last few frustrating days

under the suffocating weight of a very difficult someone

arrogance. bitching. rudeness. total ingrate.

it would be usual for me to just ignore and move on

so in a way, i am glad to be just that..

moving on

done with this ceaseless insufferable slog

with someone who's stagnanting mid-life

done. done. done.

i am on my way

and bound for bigger and better things

because i can

when i'm bad

2007-12-04T06:43:00.000+08:00

i'm very very bad.

damage this weekend:

2 dresses - one, stripey + short=cute; two, black and bowed=cuter
1 pair tanny/brown heels (for work, not really counted)
trousers, too long for my short legs (btw, ken, we still need to work on this...), but might work with newly acquired heels
stripey shirt (also for work, not really counted either)
long silver necklace, must have ok?
retro hair grip (necessary)
jersey tunic top
pink cable knit, was too pink to say NO to
3 tubs of junk food from M&S (no matter how good they are to their wholesalers, it's still junk)

partners in shopping crime

how i spent in excess of £300, i'm not quite sure..

x D
feeling very very bad indeed..

loser

2007-11-28T01:19:00.000+08:00

also..

some of you may remember that i am very troubled with period pains

while working this weekend, i managed to collapse in pain from which
i was rolled up like an armadillo on the floor in the doctor's room
the SHO on call wheeled me to the emergency assessment unit
so i could have dextrose drip and buscopan

i am such a loser

i'm sure the pain would have gone away if i had just stayed, fetal position on the floor for about half an hour

i also haven't eaten properly in 2 days because of the pain

think i need that drip back

and all the glrious FOOD that japan is renowned for

i cannot believe i am back in london

me + beeps

with all her horrifying tales of china

but oodles of great shopping that somewhat make up for it's lack of hygeine

itty bitty tickets

shin's lot, my lot

and the silkiest shabushabu

there has got to be more fat than beef there
it cost a bomb

and the present the meat to you -- all wrapped up in white cotton -- before slicing

we love okonomiyaki

ok, beeps and i do, anna doesn't so much

matsusakagyu yakiniku

which is waaaay better than kobe

Gimme More - Britney Spears - (Official Video Music Video)

2007-10-09T23:39:00.001+08:00

Not sure if this is the actual Britney video but if it is, It is sad. I tell you. Plain sad.....

What kind of pole dancing is that? It's disgusting I tell you. What kind of come back is this?!?!

And I'm sorry, but if you're going to take a video like that of yourself, at least go and work out! Or make sure your director is so darn good at hiding your flaws!
Once upon a time, everyone wanted to be hot like Britney Spears. But now, everyone wants to NOT be like her.

And I'm sure the extras in the video are laughing AT her, not WITH her.
And her male extra in the video, cannot even hide the fact that he is disgusted.

It is so sad, that I cannot even express it!

Hope you guys see this before it's removed from You Tube!

The right direction

2007-08-31T11:41:00.001+08:00

I got a job! And for now it seems like a job that I will enjoy.

There's a lot to learn and it's what I'd like to learn. So it seems like things are going in the right direction for now.
I'll be a management trainee at L'oreal. And I'm very excited. I hope this will bring things to a different level.

Also, my PR application is going to be approved. I just need to bring the letter from the immigration down. And with my current job offer, I will be able to get a PR status in Singapore. Then I no longer have to do stupid applications whenever I get a new job.

Hopefully, I'll be able to handle things a lot better. I've realised that it's the same shit but different toilet no matter where I go. So I'm much more prepared to handle things now. No matter how tough the shit is, I HAVE to stick this out.

Things seem to be taking a turn for the better.

Thank you for being there with me when I needed help. I'm back on my feet now and I'm glad.

Love spam!
Stuffy nose and horrid throat.

Grateful

2007-08-28T22:26:00.000+08:00

I had a talk with a friend today, and am glad that my simple but truthful words of "I'm proud of you" makes a difference to her.

And that's when I'm grateful to have friends like that. That after all the shit and quarrels that we've been through, we're still there for each other.

And because of all the ups and downs we've had, it makes us know each other more.

And then I thought, hey Dai! I miss you tonnes! You write me little letters with funny animal badges when I'm down. Just wanna say thanks so much!!!! And I'm glad that you're enjoying work. Gosh! I'm so amazingly proud of you!!

I hope to be able to find a job, where I'm happy as well. And I've been having a 2 week break or so now. I feel the energy and life returning to me. And I know very soon, I'll be brand-spanking new and good to go!

And I'm grateful to just have those few good friends who are truthful to me. And hold my hand when I'm down. Just a few of those are good enough to last to me a lifetime.

Love you all! Spam.

P.S. Dai, I realised that in my miserable wallowing and mountains of work, I have not gotten you a birthday present! I'm sorry! And I feel so sad because I don't forget your birthday!

Sappy love songs and rainy days.

2007-08-23T19:55:00.000+08:00

congratulations on the graduation pammie!
now we're finally graduates, we can boast to everyone that we've spent ages in uni learning lots of complex stuff to make us useful members of society.

well, that's the theory anyway

it feels like life has rebooted

1 gorgeous new flat -- complete with floor to ceiling ikea gear, bay windows and mature greenery
2 fluffy little babies, the tuna lovers
2 dinners with ken *hugs + happy birthday again!* - catching up, gossiping (dating daddy's friend is one big uh-uh), jeans and breakdancing
24 days into employment
6 days to my first pay check

and until that day, dreams or bags, shoes, holidays and internet.
yes, i still haven't got any connection at home

anywaaaaaay...

i love work.

i'm learning something new everyday, i actually feel like i'm making use of my life and being productive for once

sure there are those odd patients (and relatives) who undermine your abilities

"excuuuuuse me. are you the medical student?"

or think they know so much about medicine

"i want a test to confirm whether or not he's got Parkinson's"

"sure, the only way to do that is to cut open his brain and take a sample out"

and the demanding ones who think the NHS is there to serve only them

"i want to see the doctor now"

"yes, as does everyone else here"

there is definitely some power involved in this job, and not being arrogant, but i quite like to be in control.

am missing home somewhat, but life could not be any better

so why complain?

It's so weird. I think I've taken a total backward route from most graduates.
Usually, people enjoy life before graduation, grad, and then find a job.
For me, I got a job even before graduation, worked my ass off while people were travelling, and then I went through graduation and quit my job. How weird.
But here's some little pictures just to keep our blog posted. Dai. Hurry post soon!

I got the sweetest phone call at work today.

When I was feeling down and pathetic, someone called to say:

"I heard work has been very stressful for you. And you're not happy.
It's ok, just 'tahan' for a little longer. And leave if you're unhappy.
If you can't find a job yet after that, it's alright. Take your time.
Just come back home."

Me: "Are you sure?"

"Yar, I don't want you to push yourself so hard. It makes me upset to know that you're upset.
Just come home. I've looked after you for 22 years. What's a few more months or years going to be?"

And that's when I know everything will be alright.
That all the worrying was unnecessary.

I love you daddy! And wish I could stay in your safe little nest forever.

Loving dad.

A lil update

2007-07-04T00:48:00.000+08:00

Last Thursday, a friend commited suicide.
I didn't know him well, but I admired to him.
He was good at what he did, pushed himself to the limits.
Was a fantastic dancer, a magnificent singer and an all-round lovable guy.

Until today, when I read about him in the press, I still can't believe that he killed himself.
And I didn't go to his cremation because I was at work.

So, I quit my job today.
I wanted to be like him, to be able to push myself so far, and to prove myself and be seen as the fantastic all-rounder.
And today, I couldn't anymore.
And I realised that maybe, he couldn't either.

Life's too short for me to stick it out and be upset, just so I can prove to others I can do it.
I don't care what others think anymore.
And if I can't do it. I just can't.

So I said, I can't handle the job anymore, and I'm not happy here.

Rest in peace.
Love spam.

Growing old...

2007-06-25T23:42:00.000+08:00

Sometimes, I think that if I was a simple person, if I didn't yearn to do better in life. If I was content with being normal. I would still be so idealistic, so full of life, so naive and happy and all would be great.

Lately, I think I have been frowning more, getting bitter, growing sterner, learning how to 'fend for myself'.
That's not a good thing.

The up-coming week, work has been lined up to be the following:
Meeting with agencies.
Following up on advertising.
Briefing my agencies on the upcoming Fall/Winter plans.
Store set-up.
Preparing for a factory outlet sale.
New store opening.
Private event.

On top of all that, a long list of caterers to confirm, artworks to confirm, suppliers to handle, analysis reports to write, chasing for quotations, finding time to breathe in between.

So in the midst of all that, I find time to go to the beach to tan, only to fall asleep and when I awake, see things like an old old man, in purple swimming trunks, which mind you, were thinning! Sagging, as he came out of the water! And he had four thai/indon/filipino women with him. It was disgusting.

So yes, as I look forward to the responsibilities in life and the great challenges ahead, and the many things that I could possibly do. I also realise I smile less, I frown more, I am generally not as happy, or carefree as I used to be.

And as I type this post, I feel the wrinkles coming in between my eyes as I automatically furrow my brow at almost anything now.

Sigh, how I wish I was young again.

Someone said today, "You've got a sweet personality, do keep that. When you lose that you realise you're old."
That wasn't said to me. But it's just so sad hearing something like that.

Not that it applies to me anyway, as the sweet personality was never around to begin with.
Hehehe.

At least I think I still have some sense of humour.

Give me the power to be Zen.

So I'm looking through my bag and cleaning up, when I find guess what?!

NEO-PRINTS!!!!

The time we took these were hilarious!
Took one, and the stupid bitchy woman said they were closed and no matter how we begged she wouldn't let us take another!

And then we ran to Heeren, to find that they were still open!
But, we had no damn coins!!!

And so we ran down to NUM, which was closing, and asked pretty-please-with-sugar-on-top.
And got 10 $1 coins!! yeah!!!

And we got the second neo-print! just before dai went back to london.
I want more!!!!

If you look close enough, I exceptionately like the one that says...in direct translation:
"Crazy laughing friends group!"

x Desperate love from me and, oh, hello, my ever expanding waistline

i love dance

2007-05-23T10:39:00.000+08:00

and if one day i become a parent
my kids are going to share the same passion

for they are learning to hiphop/lock/disco/break/lyrical/jazz/dancehall

they can forget ballet
it was a nightmare for me

(even though i have plenty of friends who do it)

where do these children learn to dance like that?
it kinda brings out all those repressed lack of dance and gymnastics in me..

oh. and there's something indescribably sexy about girls who can dance
this really doesn't come anywhere near platinum (is that what they're called?)

remember those days when i used to fill your empty afternoons with did-you-knows?

some more did-you-knows to fill your meaningless afternoons with..

share the love

spread the knowledge darlings

the average UK individual..

will live for 78.5 years

that's 2 billion 475 million 5076 seconds of life

during that time, she (let's not get embroiled with gender. girly blog. girly subject.) will have 25 000 words in her vocabulary

that's just 4% of the total number of words in the oxford dictionary

of the 25 000, she will speak 4300 words a day

(but this is less if you're a man/mute/solitary, more if you are say, a telemarketer/schizophrenic)

in the average lifetime, that's like 123 205 490 words

the average individual uses plenty

up to the age of 2, she would have used 3796 nappies!

in 7163 lifetime baths consume

656 bars of soap

196 bottles of shampoo

276 toothbrushes

35 tubes of hair gel (more if you're into the spikey or 80's)

4239 toilet rolls

aaaand 11 000 tampons

she will grow 9m 42cm of hair

he will grow 9m 15cm of facial hair

each will grow 280cm of nails (grossnesss)

in the average lifetime, she will cry 61l of tears

and produce 254l of urine

oh, and fart about 15 times a day!

all the baked beans she will eat in her life will fill a bathtub

but besides baked beans

she will polish of 74 802 cups of tea

and eat through 10 866 carrots

she'll also consume 30 000 tablets

(but if like me, you like codeine... *ahem*)

we'll actually be pretty well off

earning a total of S$4 500 000 or £1 500 000

paying a total of £286 311 in tax

with all that money we'll buy...

8 cars

(fill it up with 135 950l of fuel and travel a total of 728 490.33 km)

59 holidays

and spend a third of what we earn on clothes and shoes *hurrah*

in a lifetime, she'll know 1700 people

ranging from school mates/flatmates/bosses/business rivals/chance acquitances/your friendly neighbourhood ice-cream man/ONS/lovers

she will have 10 sex partners

amounting to 4239 steamy sessions of ripping, romping and rolling

(*blink* although i cannot see how this as a lot...)

1 in 10 of us will know someone who was murdered

1 in 3 of us will know someone who commited suicide

x Diggin it?

I'll start posting photos soon when I get my new camera ok?

My current one is spoilt!!

So anyway, to make up for my lack of photos, here's a funny story to tell.

Everyone thinks just because you work in the fashion industry, you got to dress all cool and shit like that.
So I was trying to keep up with my image, and I wore heels with some 'balloon' pants of sort.

Thinking I was oh-so-cool. strutting into the office, with my bag around my elbow.
And hanging on to my coffee. Although it was packeted coffee from the market, instead of Starbucks.
Totally not in line with my image!

Hahahha. BUT! the climax of the story is that I was walking down the stairs! and Lo and behold!

I tripped on my big pants and fell!!!!!!
I FELL DOWN THE STAIRS!

AND COFFEE FLEW!
AND COFFEE GOT INTO MY BAG!
AND I WAS SITTING IN A POOL OF COFFEE!

How embarrassing is that? Seriously, that's the kind of thing that only I would do.
OR rather only I could do!

Well, moral of the stoy is. Make sure what you wear is SAFE!
Is not going to cost you your life.

Heed my advice.
Love spam!

2007-05-09T09:01:00.000+08:00

I wish I was back in London again.

You look like you're having fun lazing in the park.

I'm stuck in a dreary building which eight out of ten floors are musty, gross warehouses.
Which my job requires me to go there at times.

Would post up photos of how sad my office looks, so that you can feel my sadness with me.
But I'm afriad I might be sued for... I don't know some ethical usage or like intellectual property or something along those crazy laws kinda thing.

Hope everyone's good.
And I have no exciting photos to post because I'm in the office.

Love spam!

london is beautiful
so for all of you who still think
it's grey and wet
cloudy and gloomy...

i'm having sexy days in the park

1 dozen maldon oysters
dressed crab and salad
old fashion brewed-in-the-bottle ginger beer
iced vimto lollies by the thames
the afternoon with gilbert and george
all that shit and wanking and bare arses
black jesuses, life, death, hope in technicolour

who says summer romances are dead?

ok, so here's what it's all about

d + jasmine + rachel

the funniest optometrists you'll meet

pauline + guan hong + moli (the mum) + jasmine + d + rachel

the girlies from the eye centre

huge fun, tons of gossip, scandalous stories, poking fun

my kind of people

doing the pose
it's what the doctor does whenever he's trying to be serious...

you know you've eaten too much when your individual stacks' that high

or when your table is littered with plates

the bitch + slut
spending the day at bugis
where the shopping's good

but only if you're 4ft 11 and have no breasts

i suppose there's always accessories...

pam + liyi + d

shopping can make you go a little loco

but at least you get to bag lots of pretty stuff

xoxox

d + kimberoo

thank you for sharing the sentiments, for understanding
for listening to me whine when i need to, for those necessary seriousness

and for being completely non-judgemental

i love you kim x

i'm pouty and *heart* peace
a la someone we both can't stand

nat - the domestic bitch

the only raisins left in singapore!

natty + kim + pam + dai

xiang + d + yu

my little brothers have grown up

d + darrelle
at wild rocket

which is supposed to have some really good food

darrelle + nicc + d
we want to be cuuuuute

thanks you 2 for sharing the past with me

and of course darrelle for your zippy rides in town and your membership cards!

then clubbing with some really hot chicks

chrissie + kt
both of you!
you girls really have the enthusiasm and energy for clubbing

so giant hugs for making friday nights something to look forward to

liyi + d + x

and even more clubbing
but sorry about the gastric ulcers
you know i would have done the crazy dancing
in the sticky crowd
like we were 18 again

nat + d + kim
again, one last time
mulling over chocolate fondue and odd pineapples
before one of us makes another million/powers herself into a law firm/tries to save a life

i am myself, when i'm with you
16 and eager - oblivious to the scary realities out there
chatting about boys and clothes and travelling the world
even though we've been there and done it

school was so much easier with you girls around
and i'm sure life will be
as long as you're there
for me as much as i am for you

loving you all and missing you lot enormously

x BIG LOVE d

Has it only been a week since you went back Dai?

In the past week, I've had my Final Year Presentation, my final exam.

I'm finally a graduate, or not quite so since I don't have my degree certification yet.

But it's work now. Work, work and more work.
What's so great about being a graduate?

Love spam!

2007-04-23T23:59:00.000+08:00

aaaaaaaaand it's back to reality
London
lectures, exams, bills, homecooking, doing your own laundry
but it's good to feel in control and on top of things

singapore was more than a week ago
and all i can do now is reminisce
the shopping, the catchups, the friday nights clubbing
making new friends and rediscovering the old
girlie dinners, acting like children,
extrapolating our futures
and making up new ones for each other

i want to put up all the pictures
coz we all look bimbotically smiley

unfortunately, blogger doesn't like them

so they will have to wait for another day

love

I have some new tenants living outside my window.

The baby bird was a lot cuter when you look at it from afar.
From the picture. It's quite ugly and bald. Ewww.

It's quite interesting really. But I have to wait for the pi-G to learn how to fly before I can get rid of the nest.

There's another egg which is yet to hatch.

I wonder if I'll get the bird flu....

So, on a faithful Friday night.
At the spur of a moment. I decided to go KL with Kim and Sheryl.

Wasn't expecting it to be too exciting! But turned out really good!

BAngsar was fantastic! It's like a mini Holland Village. But with wwaaaayyyy more boutiques!
And i haven't gotten enough! I want more shopping!!!!! Argh.

Pictures!

Clubbing at the Asian Heritage Road. Which was fun!
It's so much easier to club in KL cause as long as you're a girl, managers seems to miraculously let you in free!
But surprisingly, the guys you meet are all from Singapore! DAmmit! There's a reason why I left Singapore!!

Our great 'chee cheong fun' stall that we chanced upon in Petaling Street! YEah!

Ok. More pictures to come soon. And pics of my pretty pretty clothes as well! hehhe.

and i won't get to see them til i return

i wonder if positive thoughts on my coming holiday
will force my cold to magic itself away

and i cannot wait to see you all

2007-01-28T15:18:00.000+08:00

The 'no-mood' bug has hit me. I've been lazing around the house doing work with no inclination to go out at all.

And it's a pleasant surprise to have Kim send me the photos from our night out.

And then I check out photos of yesteryears and realise how much we've grown. Is that a good thing?

I miss the days when we didn't have to care!

Come back soon all you girls.

You're not the only pathetic one who's around the house alone.

I'm home on a saturday night. No date, no friends, no party.

Doing english to chinese translations of sentences like
"Our project aims to interweave the richly-textured stories of these elderlies into the void of the void deck, through personal, interpersonal, and even national history."

I think I can go work in China soon.

pathetic is
sitting by your lonesome, in front of the computer
at 5 bleeding 13 in the morning
trying to grasp the fundatmentals of oxygen therapy
especially for those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

why i need to know how to ask a relative for consent to a post mortem
when in reality most relatives will consent to anyway
is beyond me
but obviously not my uni -- for they have set this task every year

i am ravenous
and there is nothing to eat...
why i had to eat 7 slices of bread (including the ends) in the afternoon when it was warmer?
and leave myself the cold soba, on a very cold night

idiot.

and then knowing that my boyfriend is far away
in an a&e department somewhere in hertfordshire
clerking in geriatrics who have forgotten their DOB/current cancer/political correctness
means i have to settle myself to bed on my own and have nothing comforting to sniff

come home quick

Hey Dai!

Thanks so much for your picture! hehe

Where did you rummage to get such an old pic of us?! hhahha.
Your hair's so long now!

Well in case people are wondering about the muffin.
I needed to have surgery on Thursday causes i fell off a horse.
And doctor had to remove flesh from my leg because of internal infection which was not spotted earlier.
Lousy GPs!

So the amount of flesh which was removed was about the size of a muffin....

It's so gross and I'm so sad about it now. Sob.
Would have uploaded a picture of the wound but think that's a bit too graphic for everyone. I cried when the doctor showed me the picture! sob.
So you have to use your imaginaations to imagine raw disgusting flesh!

Hope everyone's well now!
Heheheh.

supposedly learning about homoeopathy at the royal london homoeopathy hospital
i just cannot get my head around it
how on earth
do you treat like with like??

basically, a few hundred years back, some guy gave people metals, salts, poisons, plants and diseased tissue (YES!!)
and recorded their symptoms
he decided that people who expressed symptoms should be treated with the stuff that caused it
and through succession and dilution of these substances
came up with remedies
that contained the energy and NO MOLECULE of the actual substance

HOW?! does that work?

anyway
if you didn't know
my littlest brother is visiting for a few weeks

boobs + rhino in the park

check out rhi's muscle man leash!!

and shin's doing nights again

i'm missing him when i go to bed
and when he sleeps in the afternoon
all i want is a cuddle too
and end up sleeping in the day as well
which means my sleep pattern is all wonky
and i haven't really been to homoeopathy clinics

pupsie one + meeps

but would YOU?

i love love love you

this song is addictive, i love the words

i can see us holding hands

walking on the beach our toes in the sand

ain't gonna do nothing crazy

see all i want you to do is be my love

my dear spam
i don't know how grey's anatomy reminds you of me
i was rather hoping that house would
i want to be smart and sassy
and know like half a billion causes for twitching

anyway, here's what i got up to last weekend

sara's last day in ldn

(half of the raisins, who knows what the other half are up to)

sara + sarah with peanut butter and banana milkshake

jo + beeps with oreo cookie milkshake
we were so desperate for somewhere to sit after dinner, we ended up huddling outside ed's

party!

(i'm looking rather horsey.. not sure why)

Grey's Anatomy is my latest favourite tv show.
Thank god for them. My feeling of lost and displacement from the end of Sex and the City is finally overcome.

Whenever I watch it, I have this image of Dai having patients blood all over her.
And all the doctors don't care. Thanks man thanks for saving out lives!

oh how i miss home *sometimes*
the luxury of my mush doing my laundry
the endless shopping
eating all the food i love
and never having to worry about the shops closing early
cheap trasnport (did you know that the cost of single tube journey is rising to 4 pounds?)
suntanning by the pool
the friends i love around me

now, all i do is
go for wardrounds in the mornings
do the jobs that no one wants to do
(today, i managed to spill a patient's blood all over my hands.. but who cares? the cannula is in, and i did what i had to do)
do laundry (mostly shin's shirts + boxers)
wash dirty dishes
clean rhino's mess up
watch supernanny tame naughty kids on the telly

aaaand
my finals are in 17 weeks

omg.
i'm becoming on of those no lifers

ps/ tried to upload a picture.. but obviously, it's been unsuccessful

Things we do as housemates:
Cook fish in the middle of the night.

Nic de-gutting the fish. A first!

All the gross blood from the fish...

The guts in the trash!

Nic looking happy with the fish.

Finally! It's cooking!

Hehehhe. The fish was very enjoyable in the middle of the night.

ok! after london, it was on to france! heeh. where i went to study french. i think i learnt so much more from the locals than being in the classroom! hahah. so well ended up practising french with the locals instead of doing so in class! haha.

PARIS

Ray and I, on the way to the Lourve on the Metro.

Me, at the Lourve! couldn't quite capture the whole huge pyramid, so there's the small one in the background!

On top of the Effiel Tower! It was the most beautiful sunset I had ever seen!

Sun setting over Paris.

Finally! picture of the Effiel Tower at night.

Arc de Triomphe from the Effiel Tower. Quite pretty from afar but really when you're near it. I don't quite get what the big fuss is all about....

OMG! And when you're in Paris, how could you possibly miss this? huh? how?! Louis Vuitton! I love you! But they weren't too kind to me... because i went there twice.... and they were CLOSED!!!!! How could they?!?! Don't think dear Mr. Marc Jacobs is doing too good a job though. Disappointed. heheh

That's it for Paris.
More to come.

right... so anyway, i was looking through my stash of photos from europe and realised that... they aren't really all that good! seems like the days when there were really good photos to take, i always always missed the opportunity! because i always chose those days to not bring my camera! dammit!

and then i'm thinking how embarrassing to put these photos up. but then some people would kill me if i didn't because everyone's been scolding me about how lazy i am to not have my photos up! right right.

ok. so here's proof that I REALLY went to europe, and that i didn't actually go back to malaysia for 5 weeks! hahah.

when i collect more photos from everyone i shall put nicer ones up! dai! post your photos up too! and i wanna grab the photos from u as well! heheh

right so here goes.

so here's the very first day... on my way to london. hehe. it's the sunrise after my god-awful flight on Qantas! BAD ok? BAD! people! do not take Qantas ever!!!!

yup, and here's the view from atop St. Paul's Cathedral! It was beautiful! and i climbed like.... 500....something more flights of steps to get the top ok?!?!?!

n finally the bitch n I! hehe on the way to her hospital to sign her books for assignment!

right. End of London pics. time for a break. n there were some from dai from before. hahah so that's it!

stock up snacks for london
visit 1 grandmother
cut half the bulk of my hair off

LOST

my lovely gold loop wallet was stolen today
just as i was going off for my haircut

it's all gone: credit card, debit card, savings card, nectar card, boots card, waitrose card, driving license, oyster, 6 pounds and pictures of shin + rhi

the worse thing a parent could then do is to tell you how careless you are

for fuck's sake mate
if i were so careless i would have lost it 6 years ago when i first got here
don't tell me i'm fucking careless when it's the first time, i'm not asking for any help, i'm dealing with it on my own, and it's really none of your business
i only mentioned it out of courtesy
you should really do the same

anyway
i loved that wallet
now i feel a little lost without it

first clinical examinations today
second round on wednesday

and just in case
i wore a skirt and makeup

think should have thought about studying before this morning

elsewhere...
miss universe 2006 was won by miss puerto rico

miss japan came in 2nd
and was stunning also

but had most god-awful national costume
perhaps we're still living the high of the last samurai and that (chinese) geisha thing
but to pass some gimpy leather strap ons as the national costume? ...

i <3 miss thailand (THE cuuuutest face!)

miss albania scared me a little bit coz she looks just like angelina jolie with piercing blue eyes that wanna stab you

ok, so my point is

why can't i have huge fluffy hair, a tiny waist, emaciated limbs and a personal stylist to make me just as gorgeous?

go get jealous here

hey all!!!

paris was lovely!! i wished i had more time to explore things though! damn

nice is alright but frankly it's not as great as i expected and like a week plus of being here. i'm tired of going to the beach everyday! n some of the people are not as nice. so i'm kinda missing home.

and things are not quite right here. i dont understand the things the teachers are saying. like i understand th french teachers back in singapore real well. but here it's not. n i feel like i'm degenerating in my french instead of improving.

i'm kinda bummed n wanna go home. sigh. i miss singapore so badly. n i would rather go back to london!! sigh

except this coming weekend i'm going to berlin. for the love parade but i don't really feel like going cause like... i'm sick n tired of travelling so much n having to struggle with the language. sigh. n having people give me weird looks when i dont speak the language properly. sigh.

n the french guys here are idiots! they are sooo sleazy! n like i have had so many guys invite me back to their rooms when i don't even know their names!!! grosss!!!

n we're supposed to be planning to go italy next weekend but i can't seem to buy the freakin' eurorail pass cause i'm supposed to have purchased it before i left n i think i can only buy it if i'm travlling out of the states or some shit like that.

i really hate it. n i wanna go back to london dai!!! i wanna go back to london!!!

love pam

Hey all!
haven't blogged in such a long time!

Anyway, just a point of interest.
I found out that there such a service online. Where I can key in the type of partner I'm looking for and then if there's someone who is interested in the same things as I am. They would put us together for my flight.

Hahhaha! how interesting. Hmmm... maybe i'd get a hot guy during my 13 hour flight.

God dammit that's a long time. hhaha

I'll just pray that I get a cuttie beside me on the plane. I've never been quite lucky when it comes to things like that.

Can't wait to be in london, france and berlin! ARGH!

rhino's spending the week with shin

most of his days are spent sitting around the room

sunning

eating

licking his dewlap

therefore, i think rhi needs to make some friends

on the way home from the hospital today
i noticed how different i was from other girls

my hands and nails are encrusted with blue plaster of paris
i don't pluck my eyebrows
makeup is reserved for weekends when i can muster the energy to curl my lashes
my heels have old crusty mud on them
my arms and legs are covered in bruises (from battling with shin)
i accidentally let my red pen leak onto my left arm
so, i look like i was involved in a nasty accident
my scarf has a smattering of crumbs. i look like rhino after his dinner.

i like need a make over or something.
or just a lifestyle coach/personal stylist/makeup artist on hand to sort me out

also, i've decided that the best way to lose weight is to just not eat
but like who has the will power to give up crisps?
