something i wrote last sat....but posted it now...

hihi....wooo...1 week of finish working in EHI...i'm very contented in working with all the experts in epidemiology...haha...actually...i think i'm really better in working real life than studying in school....i've got really nice colleagues to work with and my supervisor is really cool....at least from what i've heard from other ppl....my supervisor seems like the best...haha....grace(my supervisor) will be so delighted if she sees this....

anyway...this week...i didn't really begin in too much lab work...thats becos partly my whole place is busy with the Cubans that came here on a work trip and to attend the seminar and that my supervisor just came in on wednesday so there is nothing much i can do.....so what did i really do??......erm...how about labelling 500 tubes for 4 days...and then reading all about dengue epidemiology....haha...yeah...and on top of that...attended a seminar for like....the whole day...by half of it...i'm all about to sleep already...haahaa....but next week...i'll get to really start work...real lab work...woo hoo...

then it rained...gosh...made the bus even more slow...no choice lor...alighted at the place i'm suppose to alight and took a cab...hail for super long before the cab came...gosh...in the end...instead of being early...i became late..thank god my supervisor is on leave..haha..no one to scold me...

okok la..thats basically all for my first day of work...haha...bye!!!!!

shopping makes my world go round....

my biggest lesson learnt from going shopping with my darls...glad and jo yesterday is that....whereever you go...as long as you are going shopping...never ever wear a pair of uncomfortable shoes...or at least..wear a pair of fitting shoes...haha...glad and jo can testify the fact that i have been complaining abt my pair of shoe for like....the entire shopping trip....

so..in any case...i've finally meet up with jo and glad to do some shopping.....but...eventually i went home empty handed...haha...cos i didn't want to buy and didn't dare to buy....i met up with glad first...went to jalan jalan around bugis junction..and then went to tcc for a drink..they change their menu and now...they dun have anymore sea of gold...i loved sea of gold...now they dun have anymore..looks like its time for me to start looking for another signature drink of mine at tcc....haha...so...jo met up with us after that....and then...we went to bugis village for the shopping spree...with my already screaming feet....haha....so..we walked around..and went to the sunday shop (by now..i've got 6 of their tees already)....jo and glad each bought their own pair of jeans while i didn't think of buying any..cos i didn't really like jeans...but i think i'll buy a pair or two next time i go there.....i want to get the tee that everyone is wearing now..the one on litte miss..and mr tee....argh...they just dun have the guy size at bugis for the mr collection....they only have the guy size for the little miss collection...looks like i really got no choice but to go to heeren mambo and buy from there....then...our stomachs start to grumble...so me and glad brought jo to ice monster to try their mango ice...that is so exotic...and its to die for....after that..we aren't done with the snacks so we moved to long john and had a little platter before going to haji lane....

so..you know...haji lane and ann siang hill now its like the place where to coolest and hippest underground brands are....with lots of nice little boutiques there....so..it was at one of the boutiques that i found those bermuda shorts that i have looking all around..which is not at the high priced end...abt 40plus per pair..and its really nice...but eventually i just didn't have the courage to ask if they have my size..haha...cos i thot..such boutiques..its sure that all of them are going to be clothes that is suited for the fit and lean...haiz...so eventually..i didn't even bother to ask and i left...but i at least know where i can find such places to buy clothes already....and they have all sorts of cafes and resturants there...they even have a egyptian resturant there...haha..next time we can go and try...there...i find lots of nice places to shop...and i think it'll be a heaven for ppl like sab..you can find all your dresses there!!!...haha..next time i bring you there....

so..after haji lane we decided to go back to bugis and walk a little round more before going for dinner...and i am telling you...the dinner food there..is really just ok la...but jo's ramen looks very very not appetising...and then..we went to OG...oh god...jo at OG...keep wanting to get the guess bag...me and glad kinda sucessfully persuaded her to get something else...eventually..she bought a carlo rino bag at 20% off...and it sheek..white...and best of all....cheaper than the guess bag...haha....after that...my bus came..and off i went...haha...so jo and glad have to walk themselves to the other bus stop to take the bus home....

today...i'm at home..watching some shows...enjoying my last day of holiday by rotting...haha...okok...thats all...tataz!!!!!

huge lesson in life...never ever judge a book by its cover...

hello...i came acrose a RD article that really got me thinking...its abt a girl...1 year older than us....with a very very rare skin genetic disease....harlequin icthyosis(HI)....only 1 in 250,000 babies can have a chance of getting it....basically..this disease causes the skin of the body to grow 14 times faster than normal skin and then you'll be shedding thick thick loads of skin cells...your skin can dry up so fast..that if your skin is allowed to dry...you can't even bend your fingers...so..this poor girl had this disease...and miraculously she survived...having to survive so many ordeals and even get a college degree...most imptly...she is not afraid of being judged...not afraid that people will get disgusted by her and how she looks like....and that she is willing to open herself up to help children of other diseases...and those kids dun ostracised her....how brave and courageous this woman is...i mean...if i were her...i would have locked myself up like a hermit..and never ever get out of the house at all.....

sometimes...its not the disease that is scary..its the way and state of the people's mind that thot about it....and unfortunately...i'm afraid..thats just not something that all of us are born with...we have learnt to developed this sceptical eye at everyone else....those kids dun despise her in anyways...becos their innocent is in the heart and they look at the others with the heart..not their eyes....and that is why children are the most honest and angel like being ever on earth.....which by the way...many adults can't even do that...and i personally...admit that..i'm one of those ppl....haha....especially on the you-know-who.....

ok...enuf abt my values on life...now for something on the more personal level....well..these 2 days...i have been staying at home clearing up all the vids that i haven't got a time to watch them when i am in school...haha..who else has the time to watch them when you are in school..especially when you are in my course....the most scary course anyone could ever attend in NYP...haha...okok...opps...i dun want to get sued....ha...so...i'm on this new series...queer as folk....well..its kinda...erm...not very well known...but its basically a gay version of sex and the city....where they really toked abt the different views and things in life...

so...that was how i spent my last hol week for school....cos next week...i'm starting a 6 mths work attachment at NEA-EHI....haha....and the truth is...i'm not at all prepared for anything...not at all...haha..cos i dunno what is there to prepare....well..i guess...i'm kinda ready for it mentally...and socially...i'm always ready in meeting new friends..and from what i heard abt this place...haha...i'm going to really expand my circle of friends...on some particular side...haha....well...and honestly..i dunno how are things going to be like there...cos for starters...its real life work...not experiments in school...you cannot afford to make mistakes...haha..well...its not that i make alot of them in school...but its just that you know...i dun wanna ruin thousands of dollars worth of experiments....haha....

ok..thats all for today...see ya!!!!

mahjong...east coast..haha....physically and mentally tiring...

okok...let me start of by reaccounting what i did for the past few days...haha...erm...i was at home all day for thurs thru sun...haha...it was nice staying at home to rot...so shiok..haha..guess it was something that i desperately need after the exams....hahaa

then yesterday morning...made a trip back school..to collect reports and information abt the modules..haha..see i'm such a good nanny....haha...better buy me something for graduation...haha...okok...moving on..after that..i went to geraldine's place for mahjong..i was suppose to meet all of them..heather..geraldine..and sab at northpt....well..as expected...heather and sab was late...why is it that it appears that only a handful of ppl around has the idea of time management....haha...in any case..after everyone came...we went to the foodcourt at northpt to buy food back to geraldine's place so that we can have lunch there and straight away start with the mahjong....haha....and so...mahjong...wooohoooo...it was one of the most glorious victory i've ever won...4 rounds in a row...haha..of course la...it wasn't very professional way of playing that made me won...so..they decided to raise the bar so that i will need to play professionally...then of course..i started losing...but still...geraldine was the biggest loser...at home ground somemore....and oh...before we left at around 7.30...i stole sab's wallet becos she left it lying around...and made her go all the way back to geraldine's place to search for it...haha...me and heather were laughing hysterically...haha...then it was home sweet home...

today....we went to east coast park....gosh...we were suppose to meet at 12.30...and i reached quite at the exact time....then...dan appeared 10-15 mins later...after i finished my big mac meal with upsize....haha...then...by the time..the guys and girls come...it was 1.30...and we finally left at 2 when everyone finished eating...and then we went to rent the bicycle..dan and anwar didn't want to cycle..so they sat there and chit chat while the rest of us go for the main activity of the day...cycling....oh god..the person...who gave me my bike...he is either trying to make me work real hard and lose weight..or he simply hate me...gave me a super short one...and made it so difficult for me to ride..i had to use up all my energy...haha...took some pics at certain stops....and i was totally wasted during the last bit..and i simple gave up riding and started walking instead...haha..then heather called that everyone is now waiting for me..so i had no choice but to ride that slow pace and finally reached for the sugarcane drink...before starting off early so that we will not miss the time to return the bicycle..becos of me of course...haha...

so i had to slowly ride..and finally...gathered myself to return the bike...when i got down the bike...my butt hurts like nobody's business...and my legs were sore...sweat was dripping down my forehead while half of my shirt is wet becos of my sweat..haha...you should have see me then...the word to use on me...was wasted!!!!....haha...so...i dragged my very weary body and went to parkway for dinner...i ordered kauy chap...actually wanted to have 2 bowls of that kuay with at 1 person's share...in the end...haha...something else came out of my mouth..and it became 2 person's share...haha...i had to like...force ah bao to eat some so that i won't look too big like a glutton...haha....and we of course had some fun chat...and then..we walked around the mall....played a stupid drum game..and failed utterly...and had discs with yufang..haha..it was so exciting...in the end..i won!!!!

then..i took bus with yufang...sab...geraldine...elizabeth...heather and her bf...changed 2 buses thereafter..and here i am blogging...haha...

okok..thats all for today..see ya....
