Howdy dooeee!
Man...every sunday seems to be sleeping day. Well anyway can't help it...last night onli knocked off at 4.am. Arose at 3.pm when Phaemie called. Didn have realli much to say to her. MAybe it was the wine or the over sleeping that made me still kinda groggy when i answered. Or maybe i was still kinda irritated at her. 
why was I irritated? Well...she works as some clinical admin for the Signapore TB assoc. so she basically follows doc and radiologist around dealing with admin and some stuff with X-rays. Well...for me if u are within the medical circle passively or actively u have to be efficient and accurate...so she was kinda pissed with her manager who told her off for sending emails, talking and whateva not whilst she worked. She had already originally fouled up when she wrongly anotated an x-ray. Tat is a serious mistake to me. So she complains and tells me that it is unjust tat pple should not be allowed to talk whilst they work. That is just so freaking arrogant and selfish...if u wanna talk and wat not on the job work as some sales assistant or something lah....bimbo. anyway I got realli bored and irritated of listening to her nonsensical selfish whims so i msged her and told her to think wateva she wants to think and that pple like her can never service others because they are always thinking of themselves.
Yup so went to church in the evening. Actually wanted to go at 7.30 but the car wouldn go because due to my father's forgetfulness he had forgotten to turn off the head lamps when they returned. so the battery was dead. Bummer...so had to wait for the repair guys from AA to shock the car into action.
Well...that's basically it today...still feel very tired. Yawn..........

At the end of a rather eventful day...
Went to RJC to help out with the kids from hariprasad as they went to school to help those poor organisers and AA (attract attention) freaks to earn CIP points. Man...They didn't realli have no idea or plan to follow and well in the end it was kinda like wat we always did at the centre...we just did wat the kids wanted to do. Well after this experience all i can say is that interact club and council are still as useless as ever.
Went to Holland V next to have lunch with Janise and shop for beads. Introduced her to the fruit smoothies. Particularly like today's choice of honey dew and Strawberry juice, it was of greater volume and more zest in taste.
Well then returned home to prepare for the evening's D&D (dinner and dance). My mum's ministry, MFA was holding their annual D&D at Swissotel at Raffles City. Theme: WILD WILD WEST. At first I tot, man...how wild can a bunch of old fogeys, directors and ambassadors and ministers be? Well..guess i was wrong there. I think i had more fun and it was more exciting then my own prom. Minister for foreign affairs S Jayakumar, and second minister Lee yock suan were there as guests of honour. But there were other ministers too as well. So everyone was dressed up to the nice in authentic cowboy suits and american indian costumes. Quite cool. But I think the coolest was after everything when they put on the music and a whole bevy of old fogeys in the ministry's line dance group took the floor and literally danced the night away.
On and on...a couple of glasses of wine and beer and everyone was high and ready to go...after the country folk songs came the 
hip and funky clubbing songs! The lucky draws and prizes were also ultra nice...tho we din win anything. Different consulates from all around the world donated the prizes and they were authentic traditional crafts and specialities from the diferent countries so it was cool. The food was rather okie tho..nothing fantastic. But kinda glad i managed to chat with the other ladies at the table though they were like 20 or 30 years older than me.....Nice nite....
Rite...so back home after dropping a few of the ladies home. Gonna sleep soon...kinda inundated with wine.

Well today was a rush day with lots of administrative stuff to do....bummer
Woke up at 10.30 this morning...amazing...started digging around for my health booklets so that i could get my family doc, Dr. Tan to fill in my health questionnaire. sigh...it's just so difficult to find things around here.
Well...then went for driving lessons. Quite a nice ride today. 
Managed to try out the newer model of honda civics. Smooth like a baby's butt. Very nice. Good control, smooth ride...what more cld i ask for except for a jaguar x16. *hintz* well...today's topic of concersation for the drive with yet another new instructor was the difficulty we Singaporeans have living here. Nobody works because they like doing what they are doing but more so for survival. Well...guess that's happening all around the world these days tho the effects are more strongly felt here coz well...face it...over here if u stray from the well trodden path it's equivalent to becoming a forsaken soul. Man....
Well..then went home n straight to doc tan so that he could help me with the questionnaire. Well... whoever did my hep B immunization did not fill the date in my health booklet
....great! now i will be some kinda medical freak who naturally produces hep B antibodies coz my lab reports show that I have an adequate supply of hep B antibodies. Man... hope I dun get questioned. MAybe they might just milk me for antibodies.
Well...was actualli supposed to drop by a frens rented appartment for dinner. Yuxuan and yingyue are bacl from china. But was kinda tired from having been running around the entire day so had to cancel that. After that got Prof Howe regarding the attachment. Man....i can't believe a hospital can be so damn inefficient. If that guy hadn't said that we were to start on mon the 1st of March, I wouldn't have changed my driving schedule! 
Shit...well...now I have got lotsa lessons on night driving. Damn....the cost of all this is sickening. Hehe...but managed to charge two extra lessons on my dad's card. Thanks pop!
Right....need to plan a few more day lessons after i finish all the subjects before the practical test! Need to study for Advance theory test...shall take the evaluation abt two weeks time and sign up for the actual test. 
DRIVING IS DRIVING ME NUTZ BUT I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well...blog time again...
Well today was rather mundane day, went to Hariprasad and got basically irritated by the whole bunch of fakos! Man...it's so difficult to help out and do volunteering these days. you can't tell who is dong it for the pple they are helping or whether its for their own face sake and to boost their own ego. Give me a break...and it certainly doesn't help when your hard work goes unnoticed. Xin hui... u better have some kinda rein on that freight train loose arrogance of yours. 
pple with hangers on and boot lickers surely have nothing lacking in a continuous source of steroids for called 'Ego Boosters' Man...do i hate that.
Well then next went down to orchard to shop around for shoes. Managed to get a pair of black 2 inch heels professional shoes from URS and inc. 
Almost was cheated of $15. Everyone make sure u check the NETS transaction sheet after you have paid. The shoes were supposed to have cost just $34.90 but i was charged $49.90, which was the shoes original cost. Thank goodness managed to get the extra i paid back.
Went home at around 5.30pm, and began to work on making my own bracelet from the beads and materials i bought that day at Holland V. Managed to make a rather cute one...may seem kinda childish but i dun care it looks really nice, cute and artistic. Ran outta beads..think i will drop by the shop on Saturday when i join the fakos at RJ for another experience for that kids at the centre.
another surprise
. when my mum returned home this evening...horrors and shock beyond...she had bought shoes too. Three pairs indeed...well thankfully they are to be shared amongst both of us. Well her taste in shoes has indeed improved and i think the shoes she bought were realli pretty and comfortable.
Tata...BRIT COMEDY NITE!!!!!

At the end of another day...
Well doing at driving lessons was pretty glad to be hooked up with my fav instructor, Alfred Lim. Well poor fellow is apparently experiencing trouble back home. Man...listening to his family woes is truly like a real life example of the adverse effects of kiasuism. His wife sounds like a totalitarian, perfectionist and ultra kiasu person. 
Who ever heard of tuition for a primary one kid? I never heard of that in my day. It's no wonder that som many children these days are exposed to high levels of stress these days and why so many teenagers end their lives prematurely too. Its an accumulative effect yeah? 
Well...wat can i say singaporeans are the masters at providing and amplifying unecessay stress. they sorta get a kick outta it.
Anyway then we began to talk abt cars. Everyone who is generous or has a huge stash of extra cash : My dream car is the
Jaguar X16. yup...I would be so grateful for that gift. In the end we came to the conclusion that well perhaps cars do reflect their drivers.
!. Jaguars--The pinacle of style and sophistication. 
2. Mercedes--- the 'uncle' sorta car. A veg seller can drive it and so can a CEO. No distinction. Man...it was originally meant for industrial work and not as a luxury car. It was modelled after a tank.
3. BMW--- Nice head but lotta 'Butt" work to be done.
4. Lexus---used to be a luxury car but mass production decreased its exclusivity. Darn..its also one of my fav cars.
5. Porsche---Expensive car which gives a cheap feel. It can't help that if that's the car rich men are gonna give their mistresses, and if it's gonna be the car that Ah Bengs and Ah sia kia @ rich man son are gonna drive. Wat a waste of a kinda nice sportscar.
6. Jeeps and Land Rovers----the gift for the active tai tai. Usually a gift that rich boyfrens scrimp to give their girlfrens.
7. Lambourghini---Costs $400-500 000 at second hand. $1-2 million first hand.
Well..all i can say is that i'm gonna be in for lotsa scrimping and hard work in the near future to scrape enough for a presentable nice car. 
Sigh....
well...then met gen and went to Holland Village to shop for beads. 
Bought quite a few beads and clasps and other accessories to try my hand at making my on bracelets and handphone accessories. New craft work to work on. YEAH! After this visit to holland V, I think it is a very nice place which i will be visiting in the near future for a look around. Oh and they have one of the few shops that actualli sell fresh fuit juice blended with ices and topped off with fresh fruits.
Realli refreshing and HealThy!
yup and next went to orchard hotel for dinner.
Yes...it's the Orchard hotel where me and my mum had that disgusting encounter and being condemned for not being able to read chinese. Well...the food was rather good and the spread not too bad. It was thai night. Well....at least i managed to get my back at that Lau guy ( apparently the manager). Hehe..the first time i ever wrote anything in a service feedback form.
Right..super tired today...early night guys!!!
Tuesday, February 24, 2004
Heyz again....today was a tiring and foot exhaustive day. Went to the driving centre to reschedule my remaining driving lessons. Man...it is just so difficult to get the slot that u want. so now i'm stuck with lessons next week on tues, thurs and friday at 8.55 pm to 10.40pm. Man...well i guess we must all learn how to drive at night.
And next went to Hariprassad again. well all i can say is that we may be overstaying our welcome over there. the kids dun seem to be interested with wat we are doing. And well xin hui must have felt realli crushed when no one payed attention or responded to hear when she played on the synthesizer that she 'painfully' borrowed from ONE of her rich friends.. 
Tough luck gal...
Left at 2 this afternoon and trooped down to SGH with Janise to see Prof Howe regarding the attachment. 
Man...all the red tape over finalising and authorizing everything is STIFLING and kinda uncalled for two pple who are abt to be underpaid and are just there for the experience. Well..if today was anything to go by it is gonna be some kind of experience. gonna be attached to down to earth, no fancy pants, bow tied who seems to be in a constant state of Nirvana. Well its kinda misleading when some one who sticks bones back into place seems to go HMMMMMMMMMM...............for ever more. Man...watch this blog for more on the new adventures to come...that is if we are ever authorized to step foot in that facility.Man...first i just blew and additional $75.60 to change my lessons to peak hours and tramped all the way to outram park, and after some ridiculous paper work they tell us that 
'hey...we actualli havent finalised everything so we dun realli noe if u can start on Monday..." Prof u are definitely gonna get a 
Tinkle on Friday afternoon. Hmmmmmmmmmm......
Yup...and today was made
more disgusting when more of the ugly side of NUS and medical studies was exposed. So basically those considering medicine at NUS :
1. Ensure that your parents sign an official document that they were responsible for your wanting to do medicine so when u screw up and lose your tenth patient in a row you can happily blame ur parents for your downfall. 
2. Without a boyfriend/ girlfriend you are not considered to have a life. 
3. If ur parents are not doctors the source for your inspiration to become a doctor is highly questionable. 
4. Sad family and personal stories will never be fully sympathised with and given credit in a NUS med interview coz the same story would have been replicated for truth or for entry's sake a million times. Cancer, Operations, injury, hospital stays are best sellers. 
What a tragedy...a doctor has degraded from becoming a servant of the individual to a money loving, prestige grabber, passionless and commitmentlesss.....ARSE. Well...cant help it if the entire basis of the selection of individuals for the course in Singapore is so 
screwed up.
Well...after that we went to Plaza singapura for a little 'exercise'..and ate this ultimately failure of spicy ramen. The volcano noodles was more like a virgin volcano which has been dormant for eons. Ajisan Ramen...another unfortunate eatery that has been committed to my 'please boycott by all possible ways' List. too bad standards have to be kept. Well...tried searching for shoes but well...singapore fashion has killed any possibility of getting something nice, cheap and most importantly comfortable shoes. yeah...so basically got another piece of tapestry of a higher complexity and frankly the onli thing that makes this piece difficult is tat the printing of the stupid picture is not clear. Darn....never mind, challenges are always welcome.
Well yeah...that's abt that i guesss....Cheers ya all......
