Aries

i was replying a sms juz now when i realised, its either my personality for having such a huge reaction to the type of qn my dear fren was asking. or juz how 'terrible' that qn is to be even asked.
so i thought i'd do a in-depth research abt myself as an aeries (I AM BORED after all), and maybe elaborate too.

Aries will be a loyal friend as long as the relationship keeps evolving and they feel that it is of benefit, but if they become bored or the relationship becomes stale, they will assuredly get out
-- true in a certain extent. but i think this applies to many ppl.. i have several friends who i tell different stuff abt and i like this.. so that i dun totally overload one person with all my emotions..

Strengths: Adventurous, Energetic, courageous, confident
i think the strengths are pretty true! haha. juz becos i feel no qualms whatsoever doing skydiving, bungy and in the future, swimming with sharks! not so true abt confidence though..i think i have self-image issues.

Weakness: self centered, short tempered, impulsive, impatient
weakness.. also pretty true. unfortunately i AM self-centered. in many ways i think my friends surely have felt it one way or another. i try to be generous and considerate but let's juz say, they're not in my genes. short tempered yea.. impulsive.. i dun really have eg of that.. impatient YES! I HATE WAITING, I HATE PPL WHO DO NOT COME ON TIME,(so tt pretty much means i hate all my friends. HAHA. pls dun be offended. juz try not to be late the next time u see me, and NO. tell me early tt u're gonna be late DOES NOT HELP. ok. anyways , i've learnt my lesson and i am no longer punctual. but i still turn up as the earliest latecomer. HATE IT) i think this impatient and self-centered traits kinda feed on each other. PAI SEH HOR.

Aries are nv shy of apologizing.
YES. extremely true. as with my Hk fren incidence. i take time. but i absolutely hate it when somebody gets the wrong impression of me. i can get angry easily. so yea. i guess i do the wrong things(becos i AM self centered :S)

Aries can speak about anything & everything under the sun.
-- NO! unless u are my close friend. or some random dude i meet online. haha

Possessing a strong sense of urgency!!!
AH YES! tt's the total opposite of impatience right?! and that is A GOOD TRAIT! i'm not sure if i got it when i was in military band and heard of the term. i think if i have a timeline, i will follow to it strictly and expect the rest to do so too. what's the point of having a timeline if u ain't gonna follow it!? i'm not sure if this is the same as being extremely time-oriented. i like to have timelines on the day of exams so tt i can tell myself what time to wake up, study, shower, lunch and when i shld leave home! yes i do that!!

remember, what Aries wants, Aries usually gets...
? really? only when i have money i think. or since last yr when i turned 21. wldn't say its true all the time!

Aries can sometimes be an egotist.Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, the first in any modern (or old) astrology sun-sign list. This strangely enough, often transfers to the person born under aries into a "me first"
-- tt probably explains my self-centeredness. not my fault ok!

Arians tend to be very organized and are therefore able to organize others with ease.
-- very true. yet i think that being too organized and wanting to get things done MY WAY sometimes backfires :(

The Leader: Being the first sign of the zodiac seems to make Arians natural leaders. They are seen as ambitious, exciting, and vibrant individuals who gravitate towards the centre of any action because of these traits. Arians make great leaders because they normally have genuine concern for those they lead. They tend to be frank and candid, which are traits many people look for in a leader.
--- true. i often myself NOT being able to juz sit back and i dun like to wait for things to happen (IMPATIENT!), so i guess tt's why i like to take things to my own hands and make things happen. once again, it does backfire, so i shld probably watch myself more.

Arians are very good at starting things, but often may leave tasks unfinished.
true to a certain extent! i guess tt's what leaders do rite? start a idea, and let the others fnish it. HAHA. juz kidding y'all!

Ares are Independent.
TRUE TO THE MAX. i'm the kind who do things for MYSELF (recall self-centered) and i dun like waiting for other (recall impatient). i go movies alone when i feel like it, i dun see a problem shopping alone.

A romantic relationship with a sweet, quiet guy won’t work for her. It’s important to choose someone who will hold his own and will not intimidate easily, otherwise life will become way too boring for Aries. On the other hand, they dislike restrictions of any kind and a possessive relationship will end up going nowhere. That does not mean she won’t be a little possessive herself. She sees nothing wrong in that.
--- i agree :)

The typical Aries woman has the physical stamina of a long distance runner. Generally healthy, these robust subjects have been known to stave off the flu through sheer willpower. Arians are simply too busy to be sick.
-- if only! then i won't be failing my 2.4 19 out of 20 times! but fyi, i still go for my regular jogs! and i am seldom sick, though i blow my nose quite often. its the aircon.

Aries motto is "Ready, fire, aim!" It may be backwards for others, but you'd rather figure out what to do while you are doing it. Impulsive actions, however, can bring you your share of trouble. While others are gathering information to make informed decisions, you are already on your way. As such, you could suffer from false starts. In fact, you Aries are so good at starting things that you can be off onto your next project before completing the previous one. As you Aries mature, you learn to slow down your reaction time in order to think about the consequences of your actions
--- SO TRUE. the last sentence --- it is only becos not everyone ard me ar aries. so i often gotta slow down and wait.. hate waiting!

i am a chronic worrier

over the past years, i've worried abt these

schools
spelling
tests CA, SA in primary & secondary sch
exams
assignments
public speaking

very recently
results
chances of gg for degree conversion
conflict with my org
gg nz - accommodation & activities

stuff in general
getting a bf. or not being able to get one

future
working.
treatment strategies. or the lack of it
documentation
inservice
contribution to the team
getting sued

this past wk was probably the worst. ever. day by day, getting worried for stuff, one over-taking another. no rest in between. and not to mention my poor sleep pattern is hugely affecting me ---- ONLY BECOS i worry i can't get out of it!

i know 99% of my worries are for nothing. but i can't help it. i really can't.
websites says tt worrying is gd becos it helps prevent problems by first anticipating it. so yea. but of course, at my rate of worrying, i'm sure the disadvantages outweigh the benefit.

hai. i worry abt not worrying too.

my org is not happy with me. or juz one or two of them.
pls let everything resolve peacefully.

my worst results ever.
if i had gotten these results last sem, it might not feel as bad. but because its the last sem, it kinda became the DECIDING sem
really sux that my results dropped this far. all because of clinicals. that 5 wks at hk (and i know that 5 wks at sgh also did affected this)

what's a girl gotta do to get into a uni?
maybe i gotta look into newcastle too. maybe i'll go there. maybe they'll take me in.
*see lah! who ask u dun want to go uni after jc. now go thru another phase of fretting over impt stuff like this!*

argh i'm so tired.
i just want to cry.
what's the f**king point of getting a scholarship if i ain't gonna live up to the standard?!?! i should totally screw myself and put a gunshot through my head. i don't deserve this.

k. shit. die.

Results out tmr.. D DAY for one very last time in NYP.
gosh. i'm still not as nervous yet. maybe i will be tmr. and then for the additional few mths where i await my application for the overseas uni.
will i be accepted?
can't imagine having to pay 1k back to nuh if i dun. then where do i work at? probably NUH still since sgh reached quota and ttsh too.

hmm.

my daily routine is as follows:

1)wake up at 9
2)breakfast
3)Back to bed by 12 or 3pm (depending on what shows are available)
4)wake up ard 5-6plus
5)goes for a 45min jog
6)watches tv til 2am(cos i enjoy watching the rerun of ER)

tt's pretty much how sad my life is now.
wait..no it's not sad.. it's juz rather lifeless.
i can't say its boring cos i'm supposed to be happy to be like this BECOS tt was how i yearn to be during the crazy period of sch.
i'm not working out as hard as i wish i was (note, jogging is not performed DAILY unfortunately)
i'm running out of money soon.
and i wld love to eat xiaolongbao. or dimsum. right now. or soon.

i miss pt2 ppls. all the lame stuff abt them. nobody is online. what's wrong with them?!

HOLIDAYS....

it's been a week... sentosa, baking, nz itinerary, lunched with angie, borrowed books, rented vcds... all's good man..

i've decided i'll probably come home with a westie when i come home from australia in a yr's time. that is IF i do go to aus in the first place... hmm.. i dun wana think abt it.. from the time when i think if my gpa can make it, to me hoping to get a scholarship, and now tt i spent most of the scholarship $$, i'm worried if the intake is large enuf to accept me in.

NZ plans: pretty much settled. except the fact tt juz the ACTIVITIES itself cost a bomb of 1.5k! no food/accommodation/transport included! :S can't imagine having to tell my mum tt i have to draw tt amt of moolah. oh dear

Gotta buy a cap! BUGIS!
Next wk is IT fair - gotta buy the thumbdrive, external harddisk and guitar hero(probably shld go with my mum instead.. pretty sure she'd pay for the first 2.)
L'oreal sale the wk after... dunno what to buy, but looking forward to seeing what they have :)

right now, life is pretty comfortable.. yea, i miss the bunch of ppls.. even though gg to sch means being stressed out, i def miss hanging out with them.. talking, gossiping, laughing... lots of smile and laughter... it's kinda.. quiet since sch ended.. :(

last day of school

"it's ur final paper. savour the moment"
with that, all of us sat for the geron paper, for the very last time, in the class where we had our very first lesson (by the terrorizing yet turn out to be one of the best lecturers Dr Uma)
After which, photo taking and cam-whoring!! haha. never thought i would say it, but this bunch of people have been very special to me... From the beginning stages where ms impatient dun feel the need to sit together at every lunch to gradually learning to being more 'tolerant' and less self-centred..
Ok we have came a long way (as mentioned in prev prev post) so shan't go through the same thing... but here's a bunch of NO MORES that i've came up with

NO MORE
Boring Lectures
Tortorous 3h tutorials
Intensive notes scribbling practicals
Sleeping at J corridor
Eating at J corridor
Passing around food in class
Long journey to school. PHEW!
Crazy mugging, panicking and stressful nights
Assignments with the need to cut down words
Pract Tests to stress over
FYP project meetings and juz projects overall
Use of Physical Therapy, Pubmed, Science Direct to find gazillion pages of articles

some of the sadder no mores
pranks - putting random stuff in bag, setting weird ringtones/wall papers
eating as a group, and well, eating A LOT together and sharing the good stuff
suan-ing each other
patting on the backs - jia you. we'll get through this

Because i believe that in the end, everything will turn out fine.

look at how fine all of us have turned out at the end of 3 years. Amazing isn't it? 3 years ago, we were all noobs, in ugly attire coming to sch, memorising and testing each other on anatomy of this and that. 3 years later, all of us have 'evolved' into gluttons, still wearing the same lok kok attire to sch, but this time, we're PHYSIOTHERAPISTS.

OMG. are we? we are? oh dear....
the end of another phase in life, and the terrifying start to the beginning of a confirm-will-be overwhelming stage - working life.

well... until then. let's juz have fun ok? hahahahahaha. chill guys.
ok i stink and i gotta go shower.

oh and btw, i'm glad i spoke to my friend on this very last day to clear the air. the clouds are gone, the sky is pretty, and the day is amazingly wonderful.

thank y'all ppls! you've all made NYP a really much easier and comforting place to be in. without y'all. me will die. haha.

countdown to exams!

3 more days to exams!!
can't seem to get focused!! aside from the stupid assignment and the even stupid-er mistake tt i make for not checking the markin scheme b4 submitting. thank god for nurul aini.

my tooth hurts. probably from all the chocolates
i seriously dun want to exercise. in fact, feb has been really bad for me. blame it on the weather!!!
i feel like eating sushi after i saw someone's fb pics.

I NEED TO GET MOVING!

i will make this work!!

fyp ppt

what a day!
fyp presentation - OVER
job well done to everyone!!!

i still rmb my first time listening to the FYP presentation back when i was in yr 1, thinking - ohmygod, will i ever be up there doing it?
and thinking back, right b4 the start of the presentation, i reminded my grp mates that " there comes a point where we have to be satisfied with what we've done". this was smthg ms soh said to me during my Alevel period, and i've always found it useful during exam period. nothing is perfect, no one can ever finish studying everything or be perfect at everything. (even every crime has it loophole.) so yea... i think my grp members have come a really long way this past one yr... (and no it's not over, but somehow this presentation marks a very significant day in our 3yrs in nyp)
i know i've been hush, unreasonable, annoyed, resistant to change, and i'm really thankful that susu, franny & huicheung who have always been there to either argue against me, laugh at me, or totally 'not feel it'. i'm soooo appreciative for what they've done and (as i write this, my eyes are tearing up). we've come a freaking long way, and i'm really proud of what we've done. no, i dun agree that MIAT is of any use, but really, to work hard together at smthg we dun believe for one yr, and go through all the long emails, checking, rechecking, late nights, online meetings.. (i will secretly miss them), it's been a great year, and i really enjoy working with each and every one of u.

actually, i was slightly disappointed at the turnout of the presentation and the way it was organised (it didn't seem like we have showcased enuf our stuff cos no one was there to appreciate it except for us and our fellow classmates)


nyp is a terrible place to study in. but i'm so ever grateful for each and one of my classmates(including those in PT1) for their presence, pranks, jokes, and the fact that we could be there for each other, along the long and unsurmountable (yet abt to be surmounted) journey. a special mention to the follow ppls jac, qing, jiamin, mashy, yen, joce, caryn, susu, ginny, tricia. and last but not least, my best pal - nurul aini. u sux man! haha. kidding la. u're the bestest pal in the whole world man. thank u for ur 'calm down's though occassionally it's useless and not helpful.haha. for everything that i'm not able to express in words due to my lack of english - thank you.

sinking feeling as the last day of sch draws even nearer. still got tons of assignments and reports to churn out.. but i do hope we will all cherish one another and enjoy ... our remaining days together.. in the very special j214 corridor.

i will miss you guys. truly.

one crazy week down, another few more crazy weeks to go...

hope my cp assignment will be decent enuf for submission.. and hope i do well for the viva. not forgetting multiple sclerosis, ergo, fyp... and 2 other assignments and ... EXAMS. RAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

anyways, came up with a to-do list for after the exams!
1) learn juggling!
2) play more tennis!
3) intensive workout daily!
4) organise notes/manuals and those pdf in the computer
5) make photo collages
so far tt's all.. shld keep me pretty occupied for the whole of march and also gotta plan for NEW ZEALAND! how can i forget tt!?!

dun feel appreciated = makes me pissed and extremely upset and disappointed with the world wide world!

tonite. i hate fyp.

New Zealand!

I'm gg NEW ZEALAND!
yes yes yes! can't believe i'm doing it.. but yes! i've trf the air tix money to joce.. now waiting for confirmation!

did a little research last nite on queenstown nz.. wow. sooo many fun stuff to do! well. mostly adventurous and exciting stuff.. not much shopping... and all of them are not cheap ok! oh man. and we're only supposed to stay at queenstown for - 1 day? or 2? :S well, as long as i get to do jumping and fun stuff, it doesn't matter which part of nz i do it in, as long as i DO IT!

still got lots of proj to be completed!!! but so great to have a grad trip to look forward to!!!

there is a freaking sale gg on out there but i have nothing to buy! AAAARGGHHHHHH!!!!

btw, i think being fat is genetic, but i shall still work out and hope for the better!

i went out for dinner at chachacha(CHIMICHANGA IS AWESOME!) and went to sw's hse to play cluedo and sabotuer(can't spell) HAD FUN :)))) only played one round of each and had to leave to catch the last bus! wish we cld stay longer! hence, stayover next fri! WOOHOO!
btw, the peanut butter ice cream is GREAT until u reach 75% of it :S yea. then on the way home.. was chatting with A and only then realised that only ONE WK OF SCH HAS PASSED BY.the past one wk of sch... felt like ONE MONTH! SERIOUSLY woah. wat is gg on man?!

counting down to last day of school... secretly happy yet still sad abt it.. NOPE. no time for emotions. BACK TO WORK!

SHOULD I JOIN THE VERTICAL MARATHON THIS YEAR?

yes, locum so that i can pay for the driving classes and the gym membership, and the US trip of course!

and and and and - finally, YIHUI! HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY! surprisingly, u're the most gorgeous bday girl out of all the parties tt i've attended. THE DRESS IS SO HOT! seriously, my dear, if u can wear tt dress, u can wear EVERYTHING ELSE! it's juz a matter of whether u want to take time and money out to go and learn the art of FASHION AND SHOPPING!! haha :) anyway, u look really really hot! i'm so happy for ur transformation! :) i hope u can keep this up! haha! next time our outings so shld more sophisticated and less lok kok!!! u are really NUI DA SHI BA(or rather, ER SHI YI) BIAN!

yea man. that pretty much sums up my awesome fantabulous wonderful BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE!

oh dear
woke up with a terrible L neck pain. looked almost like a wry neck. minor movt of the neck to the L side brought on pain instantly.
it was so painful tt
a)when i walked to my gp, i had walk very slowly
b)i had to keep my neck extremely still to make sure there ain't any sudden movements
c)when there were sudden movt, i had to stop in my track and juz hold my neck
d)my chin was rotated to the left to ease off the pain - hence i looked funny when i walk back
e)teared in the clinic cos it was so painful and tiring to hold the neck up
f)eating breakfast -beehoon,was extremely troublesome
h)lying down on bed was OMG EXTREMELY TOUGH - like cos alot of eccentric contractions of the neck was required- it was SO PAINFUL
i)took a gazillion of pills

thankfully, after my first nap (12 to 3.15), it got slightly better
after my 2nd nap (4 to 6), it get better tt i can rotate and side flex and rotate more towards my left. and waking up was easier too
seriously hopes it gets better cos i wana go for my xmas party tmr!!!!

and i received this!


yippee! right after i top up for the postage! :))))))

BATAM TRIP :)

what an experience i must say! had several of my firsts over the 2D1N trip!

day1:
departure was kinda rush
ferry ride was tolerable
arrival at hotel - drinks were :S
bowled for 2 games cos our room wasn't available yet.. bowling was- alrite.. one strike! haha.
got our room - spacious. clean. decent. good view of the pool too.
went to nagoya hill mall - had a&w (so-so lor. nothing fantastic.) bought several stuff- fake gucci sunglasses(even comes with the casing!), chelsea merchandises, teddy bear biscuits!(reminds me so much of the ones i had in HK! yippee! love 'em!)
went back hotel
SPA - OMG. what a sensational spa it was. it was my first time doing spa so i wasn't sure of all the procedures.. did it with dear yh, whom was slightly more experienced. but still, she didn't warn me abt it! so the exciting parts were having to change into the sarong in that 'tent'-super open space can! then lie down. did a scrub first. finished the whole of the back of the body. and then have to turn ard and lie supine! omg. i was only in my disposable undies! omg man. then i accidentally saw yh's... haha. but only a blurred vision. then the person even scrubbed my breast. OMG. i so didn't see that coming. alrite. that i survived. prett open abt it. did i mention it was kinda in a open area when the walls of the 'room' were juz bamboo stick-like hanging horizontally like can see the outside from inside and vice versa! eW
then came the worst part. or shld i see the funniest cum scariest part. showering naked with yh. oh dear, we were so silly laughing cos it was just so extremely awkward!
the rest of the spa was a massage in exactly the same manner as the scrub and followed by a bath in the bathtub- yes with yh again. naked. well, thank goodness for disposable undies and towel!
this was definitely a first for me! lesson learnt is to do it SINGLE in the future! haha. but yea, it did kinda brought us slightly closer on a physical level. HAHA
after the spa - pizza and pasta at the cafe
did a facial in our room, caught survivor's season finale, and zonked out

day2:
breakfast buffet - not fantastic. giving it 5/10 is juz me being generous.
swimming. well more like chilling in the pool
went sauna (my first. though extremely unsuccessful cos i didn't break a sweat at all)and dipped in the jacuzzi for awhile
checked out
had pop mee (cup noodles) while waiting for the bus to arrive.
played snooker!!! another first for me too! haha. it was pretty embarrassing cos we had no idea how to play it. in the end we cheated like crazy and by hook AND by crook, we got all the balls in! HAHA
went to ferry terminal, boarded the ferry and bye bye batam!
reached home safe and sound:) slept like a pig though. hehe

yea. so that was my rather interesting and definitely UNFORGETTABLE batam trip! :)
like my msn nick- it's good to be home!

NEW BLOGSKIN UP

thought of changing it since the last time i changed it. the prev one was too greeny and flowery and the words were often too small! shan't spoil ur eyes and mine!

anyway, it's been ages since i last blogged! and strangely enough, its not becos i was too busy. in fact, i think this sem i've been pretty slacked. haven't read up on all the lecture notes yet. oh dear. so much projects to do. and i really wish someone else would take charge just because.

oh wells. christmas is here! and it's finally our last term break of the freaking last semester in nyp. even the OTs had their final day of sch ytd! how shiok huh.
holiday plans: gg on batam trip with yh and des:) hopes everything will turn out well and we'll have a great relaxing time there!

deg conversion: not much of news on it, except tt i have to resubmit my application after the final results. can't ask for more except to maintain a 3.0 or at least pull up to 3.2

someone proposed a trip and i was invited. hmm. dunno if i should take up the offer.
anyone interested in a USA trip instead?
