Place: Simin's lovely home at Clementi
Time: 645pm til the next day
530pm:I was soo looking forward to the xmas party at simin's pl. there' was this rule to wear either red or green. and i chose red! and juz b4 i left the house i realised i made an awful mistake of being in red&black completely. there was a red tee wif black skirt, then red nails wif black birks. AND i chose to carry a black handbag and the esp plastic bag-which is red. HORRIFIED! it's juz wrong. had to change it to a nice gold paper bag in the end.
545pm: at the bus stop. i stood. and waited. and waited. and waited. almost 2-3 of evey bus came except the one and only tt i cld board-166 it came like 20min later. argh.
645pm: reached simin's pl.. much to my surprise, sm was still in the midst of cooking.. and ap was helping her in the kitchen while wl was in the living rm doing the tuna on biscuit thing. nope, i didn't help. the host refused to let me do much. so i juz kinda slacked...
this is tiring.. haha. let me try to summarise
yh & lh were late.. it was like 730-745 when the table was finally filled wif food. omg. it was really filled wif food. there was chicken, duck!!!!, spaghetti, garlic bread, mashed potato, veggie, hashbrown!!! it was delicious! the setting and atmosphere was really nice too! and there was the christmas tree!!! dinner was fabulous! yh cracked a joke by asking for some '82 wateva wine... super nice.. too bad sy wasn't present.. and xy was still on her flight back from japan... the dinner was filled wif cold jokes, funny jokes, and reminders for one another to finish up the food!
after dinner... hmm.. think we juz watched some shows on tvb and licensed to wed, which was an alrite show la.. then xy arrived and we took lots of pics... unfortunately, the grp photos are all in wl's cam..... yup.. gift exchange! seriously, i swear i will put in more effort to buy a NICER present in future! sorry wl! wl and xy went to aus and jap respectively so they got us nice and edible souvenirs! :)
oh. then a sm & ap's fren turned up. ya.
then ap and xy went home.. and the rest of us kinda went to sm's rm to sleep... it was an early nite(compared to the slpover wif sw and cheryl...) we were watching harry potter.. but i fell asleep like super early cos the lights were alr out...
woke up really late despite sleeping early... had log cake(my mum made) and this friend potato dish tt sm's mum whipped up(using the left over mashed potato). watched tv... we were all kinda sianed... like stoned. and i had to play pictionary!!!! sm has this art board? those drawing kinds wif a stand.. and i drew! and sm,wl and yh guessed! haha... i had to draw based on wat i played wif sw last time...
tt's abt all... the xmas dinner was prob the best part of the stayover! i'm like so inspired to make a meal for my frens and family too!!!! hmm.. maybe i shall try it out during the hols in mar!!! yea!

hols
this hols have been pretty wasted. except for gyming... hardly touch the books! hello! it's supposed to be a study break! can't eat dunkin' donuts becos didn't manage to reach the min orders. but it's prob a good thing, cos i won't gain back all the calories tt i've lost. and i've decided not to buy a xmas album. after wat i've SPENT ytd. angie will know why.
made a wasted trip to the cc's gym ytd cos it was CLOSED. i was standing there. staring at the locked gates. wondering- WHY. it was only like 5 hrs later when i was shopping wif angie in the super crowded taka mall then she informed me tt is was hari raya. i was like - !!!! no wonder so crowded.... but anyways. it was quite a fruitful trip. bought a pair of PANTS!!! :) ate at kobayashi hangul-which was previously juz known as kobayashi. the omelette and noodle. the ppls so lazy la. angie ordered the teriyaki version, and they put the meat outside the omelette instead of inside of it! and u cld so tell tt the extra 1$ was juz for some measly pieces of XXS -sized meat.
man u ppls sux man. i wonder how true is tt rape incident. are all football players in england liddat? i think, even if i can, i'd not marry any of the players.. surely divorce one! i bet the WAGS are staying on for the $$$!!!
it's been so long since we last met :(

overall mood :(
Sunday, December 02, 2007
my legs hurt.. esp the popliteal fossa area.
heard from a fren who said some yr3 say tt a lot of those who went for attachment at sgh eventually dropped out. maybe too stressed by the clinicians? eeks. now i dun wana go sgh for clinicals anymore... i'm juz glad i can see mr.podiatry once in a while on the way to sch.
anyway, yesterday, while writing my anat stuff, i came across some useful moltivational phrases/sentences(fr sa handbook) here are some with regards to smthg particular i wanna do:
1_some pursue happiness, others create it
2_nothing can be done without hope & confidence
3_destiny is not a matter of chance, it's a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved
4_to accomplish great thing, we muz dream as well as act.
the keyword here is 'happiness'. find-a-guy-get-married-and-start-a-family-happiness.
sometimes, i juz wana get away from them as far as possible.
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
i need more confidence. i need to work out harder. but this 'harder' part will have to wait til after physio test. i think we're all pretty dead. oh wells. i'm sure, somehow or another, we'll all pull through.
mr.podiatry has made my day. well, only the morning part anyway. :D

mr. podiatry
1) brought my sec sch frens to ms clarity cafe on fri.. was kinda embarrassed cos i led them to the wrong street.. but turns out we were juz on the adjacent street. and, becos it was a fri nite, i cldn't make reservations and so we had to wait from like 7 to like 8 plus before we got a table. oh wells..
2) have been exercising since last wed... really hope to be fit and do well for napfa and also to slim down and lose all the kilos i've gained since A levels.. haha
3) last nite, chelsea drew wif everton. 1-1. a pretty decent kick by a quite-cute tim cahill at a SUPER LATE TIME (90th min)!!!! so pissed! they weren't supposed to score so late! not fair. chelsea deserved 3pts! SO SAD. i had hopes that chelsea are back in title contention. now, i'm disappointed once again. a draw is not gd enuf! argh! i hate it when i get my hopes too high only to see it get dashed soon after. sobs:'(
4) this morning, on the bus 124, i passed by the sgh bus-stop. normally, it wld have been no biggie, but dunno why, today i felt something as i passed by the stop.. like old memories of my clinicals. the next thing i noe, when i alighted at the next stop, went down the escalator, i saw MR. PODIATRY! now now, i'm only 75% sure tt it's him...it's based on the attire he is in(casual), and the sling bag he is carrying, and the curly blonde hair. BUT, i dunno... the mr. podiatry at sgh had a stronger built and physique. so.. i'm not too sure. maybe becos he was like 4m away from me. but our eyes met. and i think he was like smiling sheepishly.. or it cld juz his lips. ANYWAYS, seeing him brightened up my day :D and well, who cares chelsea got a draw? Haha!
5) my dear fren forgot to brg the polo shirt for me. even though i reminded her last nite. i was annoyed. i'm tt sort of person who gets annoyed at little things. it sorta dampened my mood cos i was looking forward to see the shirt. now i'm worried tt L may not be as comfy as the XL tt i ordered initially. hopes she brg it tmr.
still overall, i think seeing mr-i-think-is-mr-podiatry has really made my day, outweighing the negative moods of chelsea's draw and no shirt. now, i think i'll be taking 124 instead of 145 to the station more often! :D shit. i'm getting my hopes up again!
Friday, November 02, 2007
we ate at fish & co for dinner... ordered the peri peri catch(grilled fish wif smthg like sambal chilli on it) then we took lots of photo. being so-not-photogenic compared to the rest of the gals, i was not exactly part of most of the photos.. but it was nice juz watching and laughing along... LOVE is a pretty nice place to juz hang out.. tho it's also like a distraction and somewhat annoying to those having dinner inside, if they do notice. got my pants wet.. by 'wet' water. haha..
still feeling like a fish out of water. need more time.
oh rite. i got picked by her to do the demo. i was pretty annoyed. cos she did emphasize during the lectures tt she's gg to pick those weaker and quieter students. i'm not braggin here, but HELLO! i got did well for anat prac in sem1 lor! like i was so pissed for the 2-3hrs of prac. i didn't do much of the demo la.. and she didn't really expect tt much from us.. i think we did a pretty gd job identifying all the muscles.. anyway,i was in a foul mood.. although it did felt like she chose me from the grp of 10 becos there's no one else alr(seems like the rest of us were of same std).. but i still feel like she feels tt i'm WEAK in the module. it sux. i mean, if she says she wana random pick then i can't complain. but she points at me leh! she points at the first 2 pretty quickly, pauses, then scan the rest of the 8, then points at me! argh! sorry for sounding so over-reacted but it's juz not a good feeling. it's like an insult in a way. an unjustified insult. u tell the whole lecture grp tt u're gg to pick the weaker students, but SOME of them actually did DO WELL in sem1! like, if u really wana pick the weaker ones, go by the grades la! why go by the FACE!
wateva. my frens and i sorta console myself by saying the reason why i got picked was becos i had some good long eye contact wif her. DARN. i didn't noe i can 'fang(4) dian(4)' so well..
been watching 2 tennis matches feat richard gasquet. he's soo good.. loves his backhand...
shall try out the 10min interval run tmr.. hope it helps!

chelsea! :D
terry didn't play, he was sitting wif the crowd wif his SUPER GORGEOUS wife and 2 SUPER ADORABLE AND PRETTY daugthers!!! haha.. paulo ferreira played as left-back and i was really proud tt he made some pretty good tackles.. he's the cutest player in the club la! HAHA :)
manu scored 4-1. first time chelsea score more goals than manu.. haha... and dear o' cech didn't conceed at ALL! YEA!
sometimes, i wish i cld juz keep my big mouth shut and be more sensitive to other ppls' feelings. becos when karma turns to me, i really can't take it.
realised there's like 20+muscles taught within the first 2wks of anat. SHIT. hope i'm not the weak student tt has to do a demo on the cadevas. hmm.. got like 6modules to revise
went to brewerks on thu nite. spent over 220$! but the food was good! shld have ordered the bbq porkribs tho.. didn't expect the grill pork loin to be so blend.. the appetizers were really GOOD!!! esp the salad and the nachos(tho the ones at GV are still nicer.. HAHA) then we walked ard clarke quay.. poor surong, she cldn't handle the fruit brew... i totally understood her uneasiness... the 4 of us(eve, sw and cheryl) did our jumps! and we actually did a pretty perfect one and it's caught on camera! YEA!
anyways, wld wana go to Central to try out the pasta de wakaru sometime! :)
Saturday, October 20, 2007
first wk of sch has been.. overwhelming i wld say. ~14 muscles alr? haha.. biom tut seemed tough. physio is really boring!(like i really dunno how to deal wif his lect. listen also dun understand, dun listen even worse.) psychology's lecturer seem pretty gd(although i worry abt the tons of slides tt he juz totally skipped) kine is like wat i alr mentioned in the prev post. think i'll have to expose my fugly thigh sometime soon:(
i've gained serious amt of weight. shall not mention how much cos it juz makes me sick in the stomach. i feel really weak -both mentally and phsyically.. like i can't seem to run properly or be determined to exercise regularly. i always find excuses for myself and procrastinate alot. i'm so envious of my classmates who run so regulary, run such long distances(10k, half marathon)... i dun wana run a marathon, but i think it's extremely embarrassing if i dun pass or at least get a silver for my napfa in yr3. like-wat kinda PT will i be?!
wk 8 is anat prac test alr.. sian. today is the first sat since sch starts and as expected, i totally wasted it. hai. i wonder wat i cld do in order to make my wkends more 'academically' productive? was thinking of gg out to study... but i dun like to study outside :( won't even want to waste my bus fare. speaking of bus fare, when i left for queenway today. i placed my wallet on the tap machine and realize there was no sound. i was like- shit. i didn't brg my card. lucky i had a few coins. faints.
facebook's fun. i totally enjoyed playing supermario:) but i seriously sucked at pacman:S
i needa lose weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (the only comfort i give myself is by saying the weight gain prob due to MUSCLE mass? i really hope so, tho i doubt i can gain tt much muscle mass by doing SO little)
Tuesday, October 16, 2007
then human biomech is like - SHIT. really worried now tt i'm starting on my tut.. wat if... ? "dun shut ur mind to this module even if u dun like it. it'll juz get worse if u keep ur mind shut." ok, i shall keep it OPEN then. i muz do well in this module. not juz for grades. but for sports physio too...
kine=OMG! the teacher is pretty gd i think.. but today's lesson was WOA! HOLD ON! U WANT US TO PALPATE WHAT? WHERE?! the PUBIC TUBERCLE AND FEMORAL ARTERY?! [p/s: for those innocent beings out there, it's the area slightly above where u pee] i think alot of us were kinda stunned. like... ISSIT NECESSARY?! apparently it is. oh wells. we touched. it was hard man, both literally and phsyically. haha.. like super awkward alr and still have to put our hands under there.. and damn the femoral artery! (to think last sem we thought brachial artery was hard to palate. think again) i'm so dead man. and the kine prac test is not according to index no. so. good luck to all. [and to think we were all shy abt exposing our backs last sem. i can't believe for this sem we actually have to go DOWN UNDER! *faints*] i hope all of us will be able to pull thru this... the ppls in pt0702 are really gg to be very CLOSE by the end of 3yrs.. haha..
Saturday, October 13, 2007
shit u
went shopping wif the jc ppls today.. bought my rubik's cube, both the 3x3 and 4x4! and gosh! the 4x4 is so darn difficult. only managed to solve the centres. sigh. hoping dan brown wld come up wif a gd tutorial soon! guess i shall juz focus on MEMORISING and familiarising myself wif the algorithms for the 3x3. I WANT YOU DAN BROWN!
england won 3-0! woohoo! score all 3 goals before half time!!! haha.. the last was an OG.

Thursday, October 04, 2007
ending soon..
chelsea won their first game under new manager avram grant against valencia at the very difficult mestalla stadium... shall watch the replay later :)
can't believe it's gg to be the end of 3rd wk at work & end of hols soon... definitely looking forward to end of work(it's super tiring to work 9 to 6.30 everyday and fattening cos i dun have time to exercise... haha).. also looking forward to gg back to sch:) haha.. hopefully the experience at sgh has made me wana strive to study hard & smart... i actually look forward to spend more time in the library reading up books related to physio!! HAHAHA... i'm nuts!

chelsea drew against fulham. WTF! there were a couple of shots tt came SO CLOSE to gg in, from both chelsea and fulham... (thank goodness for petr cech for saving one and also the unfortunate shots tt were inches away from causing the first defeat at stamford bridge since 04) ANYWAYS, the commentator did say it's kinda early to predict the winners, but i can already sense it... wish i was wrong..
was introduced to tv-links.. watched brokeback mountain.. but seriously, i think i'm super dense cos i dun seem to understand the story... maybe it's becos of the chi subtitles.. it sux! i was trying to read it cos the accents by the 2 leads were juz too difficult for me to decipher.. darn. and the chi subtitles, at times, were completely off the track! argh. so.. didn't really enjoy the movie... but the acting looked gd.. haha...
sailor moon.. yup.. i've been watching!!! it's soooooo childish and kiddish and girlish but i love it!!! it's like gg back to my younger days.(darn! i feel old now tt i mention tt) esp the crush tt usagi has on both the arcade guy and the tuxedo musk. i juz finish watching epi 14 and there was this part where tux mask rescued sailor moon and they flew away, her in his arms.. i was like gushing and grinning from side to side la! HAHA... actually i'm not really into the plot of sailor warriors fighting the evil, juz the romance part.. haha.. yup... dun tell me to grow up.. let me finish the 200 episodes first!
i am a 19yr old.. turning 20 next year... my god ah... wish i was 17 again(tt age is like not too old, not too young...)

4-0
so right now, i'll juz keep my faith...[i look forward to a WIN in this weekend's match against fulham]
work and chelsea
anyway, i shld be seeing an update of a sum of $$$ in my account by next fri(hopefully!). then i'll be able to buy 2 tops from esp and f21 :) maybe a pair of running shoes? cos it feels weird to be running in my tennis shoes. then again, i haven't been doing much running, so it'll prob be a waste if i buy a new pair..
i still haven't find a fren to watch david copperfield with me :(( anyone pls?!
OH. i keep forgetting to do this extremely impt update of my life. my dear precious chelsea has juz lost their manager(on a mutual agreement, wateva). i'm so extremely disappointed tt he left, i dunno who to blame for his departure. and also, i can't believe tt chelsea has yet to score and yet to win a single match in ONE mth! how is tt possible? anyway, as a chelsea fan, i am sad to claim tt the EPL cup will not be back in our shelves for this season. liverpool and arsenal are doing a gd job so far.. hai.. i feel soo depressed leh.. i was soo proud of chelsea's achievement last season... and now, i dunno if i still consider myself as their fan.. i do hope they will come out of this unfortunate situation and try to salvage it asap... rumour has it tt ronaldinho is cmg over.. gosh! wat if he turns out to be the 2nd shevchenko???!!! then everyone will be laughing at poor roman abramovich for wasting his money... SIGH

class bbq
then we had a sleepover at limjie's pl instead of sw's hse.. played pictionary!!! gosh it's sooooo FUN!!! i think the best guess tt my grp did was when i attempt to draw mona lisa and amanda actually got it right!!! haha.. damn fun & funny!
shan't elaborate more.. now got chelsea vs manu match.. HAI.... tmr got work-SIAN.. it's sian cos i have to make calls.. if not, i think i wldn't be so bothered over it..
Friday, September 21, 2007
first wk of work
looking forward to BBQ tmr at limjie's hse and then the sleepover at sw's place :)
oh.. i got introduced to this site called 'facebook'. seems fun!
i hope i can survive the remaining 15days of work.. and look forward to receiving my salary.

chelsea chelsae :(
they had sooo many crosses into the box.. but all of it were met by the defender's headers.. one of the very few crosses from rosenburg, and they scored. HAI. and i think like 3quarter of the game, it was juz chelsea attacking and rosenburg defending(wif their heads)
i juz feel sooo sad tt chelsea didn't do well.. they scored none against both aston villa and blackburn...
i kinda understand tt sometimes, it juz ain't their day.
but still... it sux for both the players and the fans(like me) gosh... i dun even noe wat to say... i tot roman's plan to have 2euro cups in 6 yrs seems pretty alrite and fair for such a major club like chelsea.. but they're gg to have to buck up and pull up their darn socks and NOT have to rely on their injured teammate(lampard & drogba. not tt i dun like them.. but i think the winning formula for a good team shldn't be all abt 2 players only... the rest of them are such great players in their own position too!)
come on chelsea... i noe u can do it. [mr mourinho! pls kick some sense into them!] wait.. mr mourniho, can u do smthg abt it too?
*prays hard*

job scope: pretty straightforward-printing, data entry, checking(gosh i hate checking-esp when it involves FIGURES! and cheques!)... juz tt i hate learning new things and doing hands-on... ya.. but by the end of the day.. i figured out how to zap the cheques double-sided, and i'm proud tt i solve the paper jam on the other printer! HAHA.. OKOK! dun laugh at the 19yr old inexperienced girl.. tt's why i hate first days...
ppls: there was a nice same age girl to teach us her work as it was her last day.. i know there's alot more we haven't learn and i really fear the BIG IC... not the one in the office, but the one in charge of temp staff.. she reminds us abt things in a tone tt instill fear and stress in me... (somehow, lj seems pretty ok..i noe i noe.. i'm such a scaredy cat!) ya.. but strangely, the other 2 temps who were alr working there seems to have a pretty decent relationship wif the perm staff.. so, hopefully, if i dun screw up in the remaining 18 days,she won't be bias against me. then there's lunch.. the temps goes tog wif the perm staff, which i find-slightly uncomfortable.. although it did allow me to see the nicer and friendlier side of the big ic..
timing: i was really - BOTHERED. by the fact tt we had to do OT.. they didn't really mention and ask us to stay back.. but lj heard tt they often stay back.. and even the rest of the perm staff dun leave til like 645!(we're supposed to end at 6!! in the end, we left at 7.10, and there were still ppls ard).. i was kinda annoyed.. like they only wait til 7 b4 making the comment of 'hey girls.. haven't leave yet ah?' C'mon! wat were we to do? there were still work to be done(never ending) and no one bothered to ask us and tell us tt we can leave the work til tmr! -.- hai.. i juz hope we get paid OT rates... otherwise, even lj wldn't stay.. as for me, i actually wouldn't even wana stay for OT lor.. supposed to use the time between 6-7 to go gym:( i alr told myself to exercise after work at abt 6.20, then now, i've juz found another excuse to not work out cos of late dismissal.. SIAN. i pray tt i do not hit the '6'..
ya... other than the timing.. everything else is still alrite.. thankgoodness there's a fren wif me..
oh ya.. i wana watch david copperfield! MAGIC & ILLUSIONS!!!

realised smthg
anyways, i went back to sleep at the 20th min, and dreamt tt england scored 3-0!! and indeed they did! woohoo! owen scored twice. [wait a min, did i watch the owen score the 2nd goal?] wateva.. i'm happy for them!
my uni frens very busy these days.. difficult to ask them out or even to meet them at their campus.. now i noe how it feels like to ask ur dear frens to go out and yet they can't make it :( i shan't blame them... i think i crap alot when i say i wanna ask my frens out... now tt i got a job for the remaining of my hols. i think it'll be even harder to meet them:(
anyways, congrats to myself for getting a job for e next 4 wks! my god.. i didn't think it wld be possible to get some admin job but i did! but it's thru agency.. so i have no idea how much my salary will be eaten! but, i muz remind myself tt a portion of the salary will go into my savings for 4th yr deg conversion. yup. oh shit. and i realise i won't be able to gym in the morning anymore.. sian. shall find a way to 'work out' in the evenings(which is v. hard) :(

class chalet
a bunch of us went to Movida(?) first. it looks like a nice pub wit a small stage and a small dance floor in front of it..I wasn't sure wat to order so i got a cocktail first... Then later got cj to accompany me drink the tequila shot.. it was - alrite i guess.. the salt and lemon helped so i cldn't really taste the drink itself.. but i noe i was feeling 'hot' inside, like even though i was shivering on the outside.. when the band started- it's some spanish ppls i think - or ppls singing spanish songs... only a couple of ladies went to the floor to start dancing.. yup.. the songs were- ok.. spanish versions of a couple of michael buble's songs..
yup, after we had our drinks, we went over to the power house which seemed kinda empty(i guess it's becos it was only 11?) the music wasn't to any of our likings.. so we left soon for boiler's room.. It had better music.. but was super crowded and extremely squeezy, and so we left too..
met up wif shimin.. who brought along her volleyball! haha.. yup, then we saw that they were playing the england match so me and her went to watch it.. a few min after we sat down, england scored!!! WooHoo!! and i kinda felt tt england was sure to win the match.[yup, in the end, england did went on to win isreal 3-0] so, we went to join the others during half-time who went to 7eleven at vivo... i think i was having some sorta headache when we reached there.. many of them had some sort of drink while i was really excited to share nachos wif a fren.. gosh-the cheese tasted soooo good! haha.. then they had some crazy moments at the seats at the cinema... playing soccer using volleyball.. getting ppls to walk in straight line, lying ard and juz laughing. I on the otherhand was really feeling the effects of either a) cocktail b) tequila c)both cocktail & tequila d)the banging music e) 2 drinks & the music. it wasn't tt bad but it juz made me wana go home.. but i realised i didn't have my keys so there's no way i cld sneak back into home at 2 in the morning wout my mum knowing. Yup, after a while, the of the girls decided to go back and the rest of us followed..(one reason was becos we felt they were kinda 'unsteady' and we had to accompany them in case smthg did happen to them)
went back to movida.. i somehow felt better by then..and the place was packed! the music sounded better wif spanish versions of shakira's songs instead.. and the dance floor was packed too... yup.. danced wif a couple of the others, while some others juz kinda laid back and listened to the music... noticed a couple of things on the dance floor... like how this dude was juz obviously looking for girls to dance wif.. it was sooo darn obvious.. i think a couple of ladies juz played along and then ignored him.. it was annoying. the music was awesome and the singers were well, good singers and dancers! i think it was 3 when smthg happened.. apparantly this dude was about to approach 2 of my 'totally high' frens and those who sat behind saw it and so decided to brg them out... these 2 frens- oh my gosh.. they were like in a world of their own!!!! they had no idea wat was gg on! anyways, we decided to take a cab back to our chalet.. [i shan't mention wat happened wif the 2 girls.. juz tt they were acting - really weird.. and funny.]
watched high sch musical 2. but cldn't stay awake for more than 10 min... think the rest also felt tired... and we all juz sqeezed into the 2 beds and 2 mattresses.. i had the chance of taking up 3 different parts of the room cos the first 2 was either hurting my neck or my butt..
the next day, we woke up pretty early.. like 8 plus.. had brunch at koufu then played vball and frisbee at siloso beach.. bbq started at 6? yup.. and the rest of it - well.. juz cldn't stop eating..[ and i muz apologise here cos i felt like i didn't do much to help out except by eating. oops. i do feel guilty..] anyway, the food was good! esp the hotdogs!!! and the chicken wings-gosh! they were all COOKED! haha.. like none were like half-raw or anything.. haha... thanks to all who sweat it out at the pit!!!
anyways, me and a couple of others decided to not stay over.. no place for us to sleep or even sit ...yup!
hols has.. 'officially' started.. as long as i finished my clinicals report by wed.. yup.. then hopefully i can get a job for 3 weeks.. do some shopping.. alot of working out needs to be done... and reading up on new stuff! stuff tt we got to know thru clinicals.. me v. hardworking rite?! haha!!

2 wks of clinicals
Basically, the monday started off pretty well, cos i managed to meet Mr.P :D twice somemore :)
Yup, so we attended the parkinson's disease support grp, spinal support/exercise grp, and also the cadiopulmonary grp, ACL classes These are all the pretty interestin activities besides following our CE ard... 2nd week saw many patients who alr came in the 1st week. So basically, tt's it. haha..
For the clinical ppt, i sorta screwed up? haha.. didn't appear to have much confidence cos i didn't have eye contact wif the others besides the occasional looking up to my CE. Oh, and it got even worse when it reaches my turn to speak cos the no. of ppls listening increased from 3 to 6..(okok.. 6 is still a pretty small no. compared to those speaking in front of 10..) oh yes, and i was speaking too fast. Ya, and the 5min presentation at nyp was actually slightly alrite despite my lack of practice.. I juz sorta went on in a informal way.. and i think i was one of those ppls tt Mr. Bala mention who 'danced' ard during the presentation... HAHA
Yup... shan't mention too much abt the cases i touched on... i'll be writing them in my log anyway.. Wld mention some interesting things tt happened throughout the weeks
1) we always seemed to be seen by the 'boss' at the wrong place at the wrong time. haha...
2) during the pulmonary rehab prog, while the lady was taking my BP, she gave us some instruction- to take the BP of these 2 gentlemen. I was kinda worried but i didn't show la, then she saw my BP increased(cos the equipment was still clipped onto my finger) and she was like - dun be nervous! then me and tricia burst out laughing... it was juz soo embarrassing!
3) i can't rmb... i'm bad at these..
Oh, realised tt all of us benefitted ALOT from the attachments... And i tot sgh outpatient was pretty gd, but then when i heard the experiences of the others at acute or private hospitals, i think i sorta can't wait to attend my next clinicals. wld definitely wanna be exposed to as many places as possible. Esp. spore sports sch.
Yup, so chalet begins tmr... sorta looking forward to it... i had a paranoid feeling this afternoon when i go to sch. shan't mention too much. But i hope there'll be improvements over the couple of days.
there are soo many things i wanna do over the rest of the hols.. visit my sec sch frens at nus, organise bbq for jc ppls, read up of medical conditions and all...haven't read the books i borrowed... yup... and get a job... so i can save some money and spend some on new clothes :)
Friday, August 31, 2007
things i observed, learnt, carried out at sgh:
1) alot of lower limb cases, so i'm probably pretty good at prescribing exercises for quads(okok..i'm NOT THAT GOOD yet, but almost everyday will have a case where the patient will require strengthening of lower quads)
2) the ART of goniometry.
3) importance of communication (eng, mandarin, dialects, malay and even tamil)
4) time management (up to 4 patients at one go! and still muz write the case notes.. otherwise muz stay back and do!)
5) patience
6) analysis of gait(very difficult. i better start observing ppls's gait every now and then)
ya... these and all the nitty gritty detail about knee joint-platella, achilles tendon etc..
Also, I think the ppls at the outpatient clinic are very nice ppls. and some are really friendly.. (office politics is not tt obvious). oh, and they somehow managed to achieve efficiency with a plesant attitude :) if it were me, i'll be panicking all over, or forgetting that i have a patient somewhere else. HAHA.
and then, there's the podiatry hunks. haha, still haven't manage to see them face-to-face, only their backs.. or my back to them. and of course, i won't forget about HIM, the so-gay-yet-so cute dude. SIGH.
oh, of course, i muz mention our supervisor is really good. she tries her best to clear our doubts(provided we have them), and tries to make time for us in between her patients.. she's really good.. and very nice... me and tricia shld prob do a better job next wk when it comes to asking questions and doing more research. [i wonder her she'll grade me...]
so far so good. juz now during the diabetics support grp, i had time to try out most equipments in the gym... i better start working on my back muscles... i have a flat spine and a slightly winged scapula.SOBS:(
hai.. one week left. i think the duration of this attachment is prob juz the right length. Enough to know what i'm getting myself into for the rest of my life. I would probable dread my next clinicals cos i noe there's more things tt i would have learnt by then.. of well, this attachment also give me a little bit of head start for lower limb anat next sem.

You are suited for working in the civil service and if you are in the private sector you will work in the management of an organization or in the field of creativity. Your ambition is high and you like to do big things.
over!
anyway, think i didn't do so well for phsyio essays.. but i hope overall can pass.. a C is preferred over D. HAHA... yup, done wif kine and anat too.. left the dreadful clinicals. actually i also dunno why i dread clinicals... maybe becos it's GRADED, and i'm not sure if i'm confident of wat i have learnt over the semester (eg transfers and mmt). HAI.. nvm, it's 2 wks only... juz hope the person in charge wld hurry and reply my fren abt our appt...
went to nus to eat prata wif shuwei... loved the curry.. haha... then went to bk at fass and met up with angie... they seemed kinda vexed wif the bidding/balloting over the timetables and stuff... but i guess it is kinda new.. and it's not like their timetable is tt gd.. my dear sw ends sch at 8pm on 2 days! my gosh... haha.. i'm happy wif my timetable, i hope next sem, it won't differ THAT MUCH...
oh.. alot of cute angmohs at nus... and the guys there are more - mature looking.. not like the ah bengs in my sch. OOPS. oh wells, maybe i'll visit them during the hols more often...
i can't believe it. i'm done! happy me!

man u is soooo not gg to win this season's title if they continue drawing and firing blanks in their games!!!!
chelsea, on the other hand, though they've leaked in a couple of goals, they've still managed to win their first 2 matches depite falling behing at early stages of the match. ALL THE WAY CHELSEA!
i kinda dread clinicals... dunno wat to expect... and the stupid uniforms cost 90bucks! WTH!
finished my anat paper yesterday.. i'm glad it's over. i definitely had trouble with the first 10 and last 10 question... had no clue... but, i'm pretty confident abt the essays, i'm sure everyone else is too...
Some of my frens feel very strongly that it is more stressful now compared with last time studying for A levels.. Not for me though... It's not like I have been studying so consistently tt i dun have to mug hard at the last stage. But it's probably becos during e period of taking A levels, the tremendous, enormous amt of pressure and stress that i gave myself, and that thought that: if i dun do well, i will not make it to uni/pt in nyp. I was crying so often, esp when i touched on my best subj, bio. SO, maybe becos i believe tt A levels itself is THE MOST STRESSFUL part in my 18 yrs of life, i've decided tt if i can 'conquer' A level, everything else shld be a piece of cake. and perhaps tt's why when i studied for anat, physio, kine... i juz have the mindset tt i will get through all of them, cos they are kinda 'minor' compared to Alevels..
BUT, another thought juz popped up my head the other day. if i wanna be one of those graduating with credit. then, perhaps i shld study harder, push myself more, and be more stressed out?! HAI...... i really dun wanna have to deal with stress, becos i noe i'm juz very weak mentally... wateva. i'll juz settle this sem, and maybe i'll start anew for next sem:)

crappy
of course me and coach win 2/2 of the matches. like, come on, we are such an AWESOME pair! i juz served/returned serve and stood at the back, while he totally chionged for every single shot. thanks coach! i juz LOVE WINNING without doing anything at all!
it's not i dun wan to run lor, but i do get a tinge of feeling tt he'd rather play the point out himself then like let me screw up. yes, sense of inferiority, once again. tt's why i chose to remain at the back. Then again, there's the fact tt he's a faster runner, so seeing tt i wasn't in the service box, he naturally ran up immed. Then again, he didn't ask me to stand in the box cos he knew i wasn't as gd as isabell when it comes to volleys. Then again, i had no initaitive. WATEVA JOYCE! yes, sometimes i can't stand myself either... always coming up with the perfect excuses...
i didn't really like the waiting part. before the session ended, i partnered another guy to play the last few point. then i felt more relaxed and put in more effort to run forward cos afterall, he seems more willing in giving me chance to hit the balls.
yes, i had my good moments today.. lucky shots here and there. but we all know it's juz lucky shots, so even if it's like dumbfoundedly good lucky shots, i still felt lousy out there tonite.
if only u knew... THEN AGAIN... oh wateva, YOU NEVER WILL.
i think my sec sch frens and i and another bunch of ppls were at this place holidaying. then halfway during the 'tour', we were spolited up, and i was somehow left alone with a bunch of strangers while my close frens went their own ways.
then afterward, we went back by a car driven by one of my fren, simin...(see! i noe u can pass ur driving test!) In that car, i dunno how big, but can fit me, sy, yh, wl, ap and of course the driver sm.. not sure who sat next to sm tho.. haha.. weird.
So i sorta had this huge confrontation with the rest of them, whereby i was telling them how left out i felt, and i think there was this one que tt i popped up, "do u guys still want me as ur fren? of juz the kind tt u all say hello and bye to only?" nobody answered.. they remained silent.. hmm.. then afterwards i said smthg like 'hello?! we're 22 yrs old! can u all be mature and ans the que".. then i think the rest of them said smthg like 'no, we're 17 only...' and they smiled..
i suppose they meant tt our friendship is juz the same as tt when we were 17?
haha.. anyway, i sorta teared after the dream, when i wake up... one tear only. yup, wateva it is, tho we're separated cos of the diff schs we're in, and even tho there's still a tiny primary grp formed within this sorta informal and small secondary grp, i hope our friendship is still strong and er.... strong?! LOL.. sorry ah.. not gd wif this sorta stuff... juz wana say thank you to all for being a fren to me the past years, and may our friendships last even longer.. til our children's generation.. haha..
anyway, tt aside, i did well for another paper again. muz say i'm totally shocked, cos after the paper, i felt like i wldn't do well at all..
ya.. anyway, sorry fren... i wasn't there for you... i hope u feel better now and juz persevere for the last week ok?! cheer up!

exams
i was pretty reluctant to turn up for dinner wif the rest at marina juz now. I didn't wanna eat at the open air area at marina south..dirty, unhygenic and hot. Anyway, i gave jie face, so i went, and turned up late, cos i didn't wana be the one waiting again. Yup, so we reached, but find tt it was pretty crowded at the bus stop, so we decided to head for seoul garden at marina sq...
$26.50 was the amt each of us paid... and i think i ate like $3 worth of cheap stuff like fishball and the fishcake kinda food... Did eat some meat... but juz wasn't craving for meat, so didn't eat my money's worth.. eve turned up! long time no see.. she passed me the christina's cd, but i can't seem to open it...hmmm....
then went over to marina bay-esplanade... took a couple of photos and watched this performance.. couple of ppls 'playing wif fire'... seemed abit dangerous, but at the end, we sorta concluded tt it was juz kinda boring...
yup.. tt's all.. sw wanted to stay out later, but we were kinda out of places to go, and some had to work tmr... and nope, i didn't regret gg out... was nice meeting up with them.. all the negative thoughts i had when i left home juz kinda fade away when i see them... :)
hope i did well enuf for kine prac and shs test, cos i'm soooo gg to screw up in the kine exam...
and i sorta think there's smthg wrong wif one of my lecturer cos he gave away like soo many mcq and essays so tt none of us wld have to sit for sub... i like the idea of narrowing the stuff to study, but somehow, it feels wrong abt wat he's doing... hmm.. nvm me..
soccer season starting in couple of days!!!! OMG! it's like perfect timing, cos the start of the season is the end of my exams.. and my mum won't have reason to nag at me for watching! Unfortunately, chelsea is having serious injury crisis.. like NONE of them is fully FIT without a small little injury somewhere here or there... uh oh.... and they're facing liverpool for their 2nd match!!!! NOT FAIR! tt's really tough.... esp now tt JT is out for a mth or so... SOBS:( i hope they get back the title...
ROCK ON CHELSEA!

sleepover
watched the rat chef movie ["ratatoliee']? had popcorns too.. the movie is very cute, and i think it's pretty nice to watch :) yup, then after tt, we watched e 2nd disc for mr and mrs smith cos somehow the dvd player cldn't read the first disc.. haha...it was ard 2plus3, and i cldn't take it anymore, so i fell asleep first...
hmm... it was nice meeting up with them.. listening to the various stuff tt's been happening in our separate lives.. hai.. cheryl is gg overseas next year.. definitely gg to miss her:( hopefully i can save up to visit her at the end of next yr or earlier..
ppls studying at nus are gg to start sch soon.. they'll be having their orientation during my exam period.. hai.. wish i cld join them.. bet it's sooo much more fun then ours. i'll surely visit those studying there during the hols. yes, cruise ard the campus in yh's car.( gd luck fren! u'll drive, and i'll navigate! HAHA!)
can't wait to finish the exams:) even tho i'm totally clueless abt shs's ppt and kine lect.. hmm.. well, at least i'm not the only one having this trouble.
anyway, i've got serious weight and facial issues. as if it wasn't bad enuf, dunno why now, all the sudden serious pimple breakout. argh.

transformers
the movie was FANTASTIC! EXCELLENT! ACTION-PACKED!!! TOTALLY ROCKED!!!!
seriously. i was BLOWN AWAY. it was wat everyone says- action from start to end of the whole movie! it's definitely my MOVIE OF THE YEAR! and i thought, at one point, the movie kinda resembled power rangers-at the part where the 5 vehicles transformed into the enormous robots. "go go power rangers!" haha...
exams coming! hope i can get through it.
soccer season starting! dunno if i will be excited or reluctant to watch... hai..

no pain, no gain.
Supposed to attend squash tmr so tt coach will teach us backhand, which there is also a possibility that he wld have forgotten abt it. I have no sch tmr leh, then the lesson starts at 7pm, so means i needa purposely go sch for a 2hr squash session. i am juz sooooo reluctant to do so... it's not fair tt i get my fren to go and learn, and then teach me another day... And if i'm so unwilling to fork out a couple of hrs, then i might as well not learn the sport rite?!
As for tennis, i do wanna play and learn new strokes like backhand slice, drop shots, and to hit the balls either cross court or down the line. But the coach is still sorta focusing on our basics like forehand, backhand and serve. Which i do understand cos we're still weak in these areas and therefore he doesn't wana teach us the new stuff... "muz learn to crawl b4 u can run/walk" I get it. But i dunno... it feels like a waste of time and money too... And then there's this OTHER FACTOR.
See... i dunno how i survived 4yrs of band practice and performances... I noe i seldom miss prac until sec3-4... and even though i get kinda scared abt the footdrills and sectionals, I won't actually find band prac a waste of time. but for tennis and squash, I seriously lack the discipline and commitment to go for the lessons.It's probably becos these lessons are not compulsory and tt i won't get into trouble if i dun attend... Haiz, i really can't be a sports athelete...HAHA.. not that i'm FIT to be one in the first place...
Right now, my classmates are actually playing sports like badminton, volleyball and bball while here i am blogging. Well, i gave the reason tt i didn't wana get sweaty and stink on my way back. But the real reason is that i'm juz reluctant and unwilling. WHY? i have NO IDEA too:(
I do wana play tennis and squash wif my frens on a regular basis, but again, i feel lazy having to brg balls, rackets,shoes, towel, extra clothes to the sch tt is 1hr15min away. There's the option of a locker, but i dun feel safe putting a 215$racket inside it..
i'm such a lazy girl - i can't stand myself!!!

back to basics
it was awesome! SHE IS THE REAL DEAL !!!!! her vocals! OH MY GOD!!!! IT'S FOR REAL!!!!!!!! I always thought it was easy for her in recording studio, but the way i see it, she's can do it anywhere and anytime... i'm totally blown away...
well, i bought the 148$ seats.. which was not as good as compared to the standing or 348$ seats.. Had to switch between the 'live' part and the wide screen... haha, it's a concert leh! so is supposed to watch the person, not the screen mah... lesson learnt-definitely gg to get better seats next time... hopefully kelly clarkson will come...
Started with a video of her getting ready and dressed up. Then came out for her opening song, Ain't No Other Man.. She was in white for like her the concert, with a few add-ons during different songs.. very innovative i muz say, it's either a slip on tt was gold, or the lacey black pants, and some silver vest... then there was the 'Welcome' song, where her dancers were dressed like ppls from the circus, with swings and fire batons.. tt was actually one of my fave songs in the concert... OH, i rmb the part where she took a towel and wiped her sweat and then threw it into the crowd... damn. i wldn't mind tt... haha
oh, i was soooo happy tt she sang songs from her previous albums- the 2 songs 'come on over' and 'wat a girl wants' were sung in different versions. it's like a version made to suit her new image, more big band than popish.it took me quite some time to figure out wat the title was though i knew it wasn't from back to basics.. she did lady marmalade too!!!! then there was 'beautiful' and 'fighter' which was her last song... She sang quite alot from back to basics... the whole crowd went wild when she sang Candyman! she is soooooooooooo HOT! OHOH! the dancers!!! also extremely hot!!! though i can't see them, they were really good dancers!!!! HOT & SEXY!!!
and i was hoping she wld wear some nice white dress and sing 'the right man', which she didn't... I thought the concert was kinda short... but still, i'm really happy i went.. her first concert here after releasing 3 albums... OH! i muz mention the way she pronouce singapore.. i was like normal 'singa', then PORE in a PORE-OR way.. haha.. abit strange i felt.. oh well... i realised alot of ang mohs who bought their kids along.. like - OMG!!! tt muz be like $1000! for the whole family la!
took like 2 hrs to reach home, cos the bus arrived 30min late, and the traffic was totally congested with ppls who went to watch the final match-spore vs aus. so, the bus ride was like 45min long instead of the usual 10min... haha, i was juz telling a fren, there were 3 grps of ppls in spore today - the ones who went for the christina aguilera concert, those who went to watch the soccer match, and not forgetting the rest who shopped til they drop before gst increases tmr.
i feel soooo good.... if only can get christina's autograph or better still take a pic... SIGH...

getting it right
1) 150$ for 2nd cheapest tix to Christina Aguilera's concert
2) 150$ for continuation of tennis lessons
3) need to pay 100$ for class fund+PT uniform+the stupid goniometer...
tt's why, for the month of july and maybe august, i have decided to come up with my list of priorities as to wat to do and wat NOT to do
1) MUG. tt's it, one more mth to anat prac. no joke k! that, and physio, socio and life science...
2) NOT SHOP UNNECCESSARILY. which means i won't be gg out to shopping malls for the purpose of shopping.
3) EAT CHEAP. one meal a day in sch will do. and if i'm meeting up with the rest, i shall either order the cheapest, or juz have the meal at home first b4 meeting them, so i can juz order a drink at the restaurant. [so cheapskate. i noe. wat to do?]
4) CONTINUE WITH TENNIS LESSONS. well, i've paid the money, so kinda no choice lor... A good way to sorta make sure my i dun get rusty, and hopefully, can learn new stuff like drop shots or backhand slice.. but most prob, after this 8 sessions, i will not continue learning..
5) LESS TV! ya, tt will take place after wimbledon...HAHA.. oh, and i shan't watch the 7pm drama cos it's not as interesting as the 9pm one...
6) GET A JOB!!!! ok, this is supposed to be one of the 'higher priorities' but, i'm still not sure how i'm gg to fit a job into my schedule. Most prob will take up tuition, tho i'm REALLY RELUCTANT. the money i earned is so tt my mum can reduce my pocket money + a portion to be saved for aus conversion + shopping after august.
7) GO GYM/RUN MORE OFTEN. again, this is pretty tough cos if i do take up tuition, i'll have less time to go exercise.
8) STICK TO THIS LIST. duh!
i can't decide as to whether i shld continue learning squash anot. afterall, it's not exactly considered a CCA... i dun think so lor, they juz wan us there to collect our money only-.-

young, naive and innocent - or simply, juz DUMB
Still, despite all that, it was nice to have a conversation with him. Oh, and he was so smart/lucky, that when i told him i was studying in nyp, he was like ' so, u're taking physio..?' Like, how the hell did he have guessed it? out of soo many courses, and i wasn't holding my anatomy book... Apparently, i got the 'undergrad look'... NICE. haha... which prob meant i dun look kiddish, yet not mature-looking enuf to be a working adult.. And he was really good-looking, so at a point when he said if i signed up with him, he'll be my advisor for the next 25 yrs which mean we'll have ALOT of contact.. i was like, "i like the idea man!" HEHE....
Anyway, i've learnt my lesson. I shall nv stopped to entertain these ppls...

Can't make up my mind!
Will be joining the jc ppls for dinner later. Looking forward, yet having slight reluntance. I realised i've been very 'unsettled' these couple of weeks or so. Like, when i'm mugging, i'll look forward to gg out, shopping and hanging out wif my frens. But when i'm actually out wif my frens or doing things i like, i feel kinda guilty cos i feel like i'm neglecting my studies. Well, that's probably because i didn't study 'properly', so i'll feel the constant 'err.. dunno wat's the word'. Also, like while i was happily enjoying the tennis session on tue late noon, i can't help feeling the need to hurry up and finish off so i can rush home to study. But of course i didn't, cos i was way too tired and sleepy, i end up sleeping at 9.15pm!!!!
There's alot of things to touch on before the study break ends. So many phsyio topics and weird unheard of terms to familiarise with. Then there's kine prac, which i'll need to go back to sch to prac... Not forgetting the SHS presentation which i hope i can juz get away with it.. *oops!*
Btw, i think i've gained weight. SERIOUSLY. i eat noodles 2 outta 3 meals, and recently, have been eating instant noodles for supper. not to mention i also eat 3 quater of the entire chocolate bar tt my cousin bought back from overseas. And the only excercise i did in the past 2-4 weeks was a less than 100 sit-ups and a 1.5hrs of tennis session. i'm soooo dead.

it's a B!
And yes, i know i've seen and met different types of ppls throughout these 12 yrs of schooling, but there're still ppls who UPON knowing tt i got a B, says "i got a A, but i'm still like upset cos i dunno exactly how much i score". Her comment is totally fine, cos it juz kinda re-emphasize on the impression i had on her.
Our class went to play badminton and volleyball after the test. It didn't start out well, cos i was playing against a girl who had too much stamina. SO basically she was juz smacking the shuttlecock at every opportunity. WHICH made me look really bad. But it's didn't really matter cos it's her. Anyway, after which we switched partners and i was able to enjoy the game more cos the rallies were longer:)
Back to the socio test with a below average grade of a B- I've sorta come to terms with the fact tt it's only 30%, and hopefully i can make up for lost marks in the final paper. Well, of course i have to think optimistically like perhaps i was only 1 mark away from A... HAHA.
IT'S NO BIG DEAL!!!

coming to my own terms.
We teach people how to treat us
a) You must own, rather than complain about, how people treat you
b) Remember the principle of reciprocity:
You get what you give. You should never expect people to give you something that you are unwilling to give yourself
to everyone - juz ponder over it. and make sense out of it. :)

GSS starts!!!! woohoo!!!!!!! can't wait to go shop!!! tops, bottoms, jeans, skirts?, bags, sandals, sneakers, underwear??? haha... sooo many things, but i dun think i can spend tt much, cos afterall i wanna save up for fouth yr...
gg for christina aguilera's concert end of june.... can't wait! but still not sure whether to buy the standing tics or seating tics... appropriately, i shld get standing tics.. but i scared like too sqeezy.. then outta breath??? LOL! haha, really, i prefer seating over standing... my first concert! haha.. "lucky" chelsea not cmg.. otherwise i won't have the cash to buy the tics...i'm soooo gg to be broke..
gotta study! juz realised ytd tt it felt pretty alrite without the pressure of knowing i'm bonded and hence the need to mug very hard... i will soooo succumb to the pressure easily... but i'm sure the rest who got scholarship will do well and not get too over-pressurised.. after all, they are the ones who are good enuf to get selected for the scholarship.. so.. no worries! *winks*

mugger's society
went shopping juz now wif a couple of girls fr class.. haha, learnt smthg new abt a fren, she really ENJOYS SHOPPING! she literally SKIPS into the shop the moment she sees smthg.. it's really funny!! haha.. okok.. not teasing her, but it's very cute la.. i saw a couple of tops.. but, since i juz paid for my retainers.....
YES! i finally removed my braces!!!! today!!! soooooo 'feeling OK'. haha.. not tt estatic.. cos 5 yrs liao.. abit... haha i dunnoo.. abit painful. but the result.. hmmm... thou it's straight, like not 'ba ba', but if looked closely, it's abit slanted to one side... so it's kinda - weird. :( but not THAT obvious... unless someone stares closely at my teeth.
this is end of wk 5. mon wk 7 wil have test on biomechanics.. shit, and the life science test.. SIAN. dun even noe how we'll be tested... no format.. no nothing!!!
soccer update: chelsea is second pl in EPL, like 7 pts behind man u.. abit wasted definitely, considering how extremely hard they persevered and grind out results despite so much injuries during the mid season.. too bad they cldn't hang on til the end, and hence lost and wasted many opportunities... john terry is considering a transfer, so is frank lampard. HELLO! muz u guys like announce b4 the FA cup final?! it's soooo gg to be like demoralising the rest of the teammates.. and i have a BAD feeling abt tmr's match... damn.
american idol!!! - blake is thru to the FINALS! against jordin! blake is soooooo going to WIN and emerge champion!!! he's gg to be the second most successful idol since kelly clarkson!! (or third if u consider carrie underwood as huge in the country music market..) anyways, i'm sooo happy tt's it's gg to be him!!! he beatboxes sooo well!!! and sooo cute too!! juz abit short :S

catch up! buck up!
chelsea update. the prob wif them: too kiasu la! want all 4! in the end, only have 1, then a 49% chance for FA cup[cos carvalho is out:( ]. ok i admit, i also wanted them to win all 4... it's alrite. i'm still really proud of how they performed despite all the major hiccups half-way thru the season. hopefully, we'll see a stronger team next season. and i hope they do come spore. PLEASE!

the good news came when everton scored an early goal which got everyone excited at stamford bridge. the noise level and cheering were sooo loud, i think the players kinda got distracted too and hence also conceded an early goal to bolton. shit.
but mins later, chelsea equalised the goal. phew
i wasn't sure of the order of goals, but at one point of time it was: chelsea winning, and man u losing(means no pt gap)
then, cos ricardo cavarlho got injured, essien had to take over central defense. mistake! he didn't do well when bolton was rewarded a corner, hence chelsea conceded goal no.2. petr cech muz be furious!
in the end, man u won 4-2, and chelsea drew 2-2. how extremely disappointing.. i was 'sobbing'... it felt horrible... like, i know there's be winners and losers in competition, but i juz cannot accept the fact that chelsea didn't win at such crucial period. they shld have scored a goal. they had like 30min to do so after when the score was 2-2. i knew they had to score an extra goal when they were up2-1.. but they didn't. they totally lacked focus. prob becos their big screen was showing results of the match at goodison park..
awww man... damn pissed now. mathematically, they can win it, like provided the entre man u squad die. which i think is impossible. otherwise. well, juz accept defeat lor. after all, it's only the epl. they're still in the running for FA cup and euro cup. maybe it's time jose gives the players a break so they can focus on the other 2 cups.
i initally tot there wld be a twist to this title chase and tt man u will lose. i'm wrong. the twist happened during the 2 matches last nite and sadly, it was a twist to man u's advantage.
of course, there's still one teeny weeny small part in my heart, that chelsea can still win the qradruple.
and i blame the world cup 2006 for all the emotions i had last nite. can someone pls stop me from watching soccer?i dun like the feeling when my team loses.. it's juz maddening!!!!

roll eyes..
went for lunch at mac wif half the class at AMK hub. was kinda stupid cos we cld have juz have it in sch(sooo much cheaper).. we were split into 2 grps cos there's this grp of sec sch students who purposely chose to remain between our 2 tables.. initially we tot once they're done, we cld align the tables and sit tog.. which prob didn't happen cos they stubbornly and knowingly refused to be considerate.
tennis was not tt good.. watch the vid for 30 min, abit waste time, cos i can only watch in awe but cldn't really retain the info...i was uncomfortable having to do backhand volley, using 1 hand only.. and somemore i kept missing the balls for forehand volley. hmm... then we prac serves.. it was juz HORRIBLE. really. like i alr cldn't serve wif 2 feet on grd, and then i was supposed to balance myself wif 1 foot? didn't really work, mainly cos i have horrible TOSS! it juz wasn't THERE. sobs.. think i only managed 2 decent one out of 20? 30? so disappointing.. and the coach kinda juz stood, watch and didn't bother to give pointers. thanks.
the moment of the match(self-proclaimed) was during the doubles match.. of course i wasn't the player of the match, but i think that ONE shot i made was pretty good.. everyone was like - woa! it felt gd. but it only lasted for a min...
so many things to do!!! gotta recap on anatomy, ponder over biomechanics, practice kine...
and i muz get a haversack bag! back is totally aching from carrying the tote bag... needa get balls to prac toss, and a squash racket too.. faints. and i muz get concession asap or i can't go out except to sch!

adapting
pt0702 is my new class.. wif only 2 guys. i'm still unfamiliar wif some of the faces and their names, but definitely getting along wif some of them... classmates all seem pretty alright... and i realise there are alot of april babies! 7 of us!!! woa!
books wise, i think i needa spent like 100$ plus for textbooks which is quite alot, cos it's juz for yr1 alone... and it's abit intimidating to flip thru the books cos of all the diagrams and the no. of LABELS on each diagram... i really dunno how i'll rmb them all :S then there's biomechanics which is like PHYSICS!!!??? uh oh. die. and sports phsyio ppls supposed to be gd at that module somemore... jia lat. i'm abit worried abt my laptop too, it doesn't seem ok yet.. but i dun plan to buy a new one cos this current one is like less than 6mths old.. so hopefully someone in the family will get it fixed. ???
errr... cca. i signed up for tennis, but needa go for trials cos only 15 can be chosen. but i've decided against it, cos it's prob gg to be a waste of time cos i surely can't make it. signed up for squash too.. in fact, i juz went for the try-outs wif a couple of my frens, and i think it's pretty fun... abit loud and scary at times tho, but i think i'll enjoy it.. not sure if there'll be some sort of test.. but think i can make it.. juz tt i prob won't like the fact tt i'll have a much larger right arm compared to my left.
soccer update! chelsea thru to semis of cham league and finals of FA cup, playing against liverpool in the former, and man u in the latter... shld be pretty exciting. can't wait!!! 3 more pts to be on par wif man u in the league cup.. c'mon u can do it chelsea!!! as much as many wld prob feel tt it's gg to be impossible, i think there'll be a twist of fate somewhere near the end.. chelsea's gotta win against man u at stamford bridge, and hopefully man u will let in a couple of own goals... so... hmm.. it'll be interesting.. we'll see..

chelsea through!
chelsea thru to the semis!!!! oh my god!!!! against liverpool! oh no! liverpool seems really good and in top form, and they only have to focus on this one competition whereas chelsea still got FA cup and league cup... hai... hope they get at least 1 more trophy out of this 3...
i dunno how man u scored 7 goals against roma... it's crazy! wat's wrong wif roma?!
i'm gg to start counting how many late goals chelsea has scored over all the matches in order to win or draw.. they're crazy man! but i love them to bits!!!

OMG
chelsea update!!! OMG... the least exciting match i've ever seen chelsea played!!! 2nd from top vs bottom club, watford. the goalless draw against aston villa was more exciting... chelsea got away wif all the points after an extreme late goal(92nd min!!) FAINTS.. really.. they were sooo gg to present the EPL title rite into man u's hand... hai... nvm at least they win... AMAZING tho, how they did it... alll of their strikes went rite into cute ben foster[:)]'s hand... but, finally a decent power header by kalou did the job.. phew...

hate it...
the HR at ricoh was considerate enuf to call and apologise abt not giving the pay earlier but she assured it will be by the end of the mth, which is tmr... really hope she calls asap...
i finally bought a nice cool 'semi-formal'- jacket from espirit!!! woohoo!!! the 'perfect' one.. have been sorta looking for it for awhile..and since it was on sale, tho still $99, i tot, wat the hell, if i dun buy it, i'll prob regret for the next few mths...
england finally won a match.. 3-0 against a lowly ranked team, Andorra.. lampard's injury appeared as a blessing in disguise as gerrad was able to bring out the best in him in playing is best position.. tho i think gerrad plays really well and is a great asset to the england team, i'm kinda worried tt lampard position in the team will being jeopardised. :(( hope his wrist recovers so he cld play soon...
no news from nyp yet... uh oh... hai.. was thinking actually, gg nus is not tt bad a choice afterall.. the pl is near my hse, the possible salary prob won't be tt low... hai.. but the dream of becoming a sports physiotherapist will be dashed.. dashed.. dashed...

hmm... wat happened?
1) the management had other arrangements (tt's wat the HR told me)
2) they realise i lied abt my reason for half-day leave, which was to dye hair instead of collecting my cert.
3) su feels tt the way i tie the papers using the string is too loose..
4) i'm doing the work too slowly.
5) i took 2 half days in 12 days of work..
hmm... well, i've mixed feelings abt getting fired. good thing is i can have my free time now.. all to myself.. no more excuses for not gg to exercise.. but i dun think it's a gd idea to swim cos i juz had my hair dyed.. more time to go out, and shop, and hang out wif the rest... BUT.. less money:( wld have been able to spend more if i had work a couple more weeks.. and to save more too..
wld be gg to my mum's workplace to help her wif her heavy workload from tmr onwards.. she's been very busy...
was thinking of giving tuition too.. juz tt i'm worried i can't ans the students' que.. it wld be sooo embarrassing :S
hmm.. yh got her scholarship... gd for u girl! too bad there's no hostel, then i can bunk in wif her.. hai.. *envy envy*... well, she's sorta got her overseas degree covered.. not sure if i can have the chance a not.. hai... dun even noe if i'm accepted into the course.. so many ppls who have her grades are applying for physio.. i've got no chance man!
i wanna shop!! buy pants!!!! i sooo regret buying the pair of jeans.. it's so.. argh..

ROCK ON CHELSEA!!!!
first half was a goal-less draw but i didn't really regret staying up to watch it, cos the draw was smthg favourable towards chelsea aft a couple of threats by spurs... and i was rather annoyed by the commentator, cos he kept emphasizing the names of spurs players whenever they were close to scoring(and of course they didn't...).. and at the 55th min, juz when i tot, or rather everyone felt, tt sheva was gg to miss his strike, the ball went IN!!!!! oh my god!!!! i was soooo stunned... i really tot it was gg to fly out straight, but at the corner of the post, it CURLED in!!!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!! hooray to sheva!!(even the commentator seemed kinda slow.. cos he probably didn't think sheva's ball was gg in...) well done sheva!!! that goal was FANTASTIC!!!!
6 min later, a great goal was produced by shaun wright-phillips... gd job boy!!! a great cross fr a.cole and the cushioning of the ball off drogba's chest... paul robinson had NO CHANCE... haha :D
yup.. so.. unofficially, chelsea will be meeting man u in the FA cup finals... and idiot ronaldo.. he strikes once again. or rather, he dives once again.. he's soooo F**king arrogant la.. he thinks he's soooooooo good! argh!!! i think chelsea has a better chance winning the match.. well, of course, unless ronaldo *slips and fall*... which means it'll definitely be an UGLY ending to the match..
*smiles* i'm so happy!
went to dye and highlight my hair in the afternoon... was abit anxious.. worried.. uncertain abt the whole idea of getting my hair dyed for FREE... oh my god... i was like.. will my hair start falling off tmr??? sobs... i will nv noe until .. well, tmr.. -.-
anyway, the place was kinda 'new' with very little furniture... like not properly renovated.. i dunno.. there was this jap professional hairstylist who helped to recommend the colours for my hair... well, i also didn't noe how to choose cos all the shades of brown looks almost the same...
anyway, i think he and the disciple were kinda 'surprised' wif my hair, cos of the white portion...
yup... halfway thru... he realised that there was another portion with unnatural colour, which was becos i once dyed it to covered the white hair.. so he didn't really 'protect' that portion.. he was kinda.. exasperated i think... i tot he was gg to remove all the foils and redo everything.. but the assistant was like.. nvm.. juz go ahead and do it.. (hai.. see.. tt's wat i'm worried.. hai.. i really dunno how this will affect my hair...sobs..)
well.... anyway, besides THAT, i was pretty happy wif the outcome... the jap pro and his disciple and the rest of the crew seemed pretty pleased wif the highlights.. "good!", "very nice!" "u like?" haha.. ya.. i like.. the highlights was definitely of a LIGHTER SHADE than i had wanted and expected.. but.. i'm ok wif it la..
so.. after tt, i left.. nothin else.. no survey, no promoting to sell anything..i dunno man.. seems tooo good to be true isn't it? hai..
in any case, wateva happens to the state of my hair in future, at least i can rely on the invention - wigs -.-
