Heyyyyyyyy all!I've been in Sydney for a while now, and I must really say, I LOVE IT here! The people are so much nicer, food so much better, and the weather has been great!
First of all, I need to apologise to everyone cause I haven't had a chance to message or call back, not even to post or anything. Its just that I finally got wireless unlimited!!! Its only for one week starting yesterday, but I will get wireless set up in my apartment.
Throughout the course of these 2 weeks, I have had so many things I want to blog about, that I don't even know where to start!
My boyfriend is still with me, so I guess I'll dedicate all my time to him cause I won't be seeing him for 4 months! =( So blogging will be left til later. Muahahaha.
A big THANK YOU to all who expressed their concern through smses, I can receive them all, and keep them coming, its still the same charge for you to sms someone in Singapore. Hehe. I'm sorry if I can't reply much, but I promise to go on msn more to keep in touch k?
I'm still considering changing over to livejournal. They'll be at the back of my mind til it gets boring here when school starts. =) Cheers all!

I haven't touched my blog in a gazillion years!!Been doing the same old thing, working, not having a life. Wahaha! Anyway, yesterday was the last day of work!! Whoopeeeee!! I'm so happy I'm so happy I'm so happy! I can't say I hate work entirely, after all, there are people I will certainly miss, like Esther, the hyperactive CA, Dr Lim, Shikin, Jamilah, ah Goh, Nurse Lay, Nurse Ee... But there are people I'm glad to say goodbye to. =) I guess I'll go back for a visit before I fly.
Besides work ending, I've finally finalised several things for going to Australia. I've booked my tickets (29june midnight flight, which means I have to check in the night of 28june), I've gotten an account with ANZ bank, I'm getting my AV checkup this friday.
Everything seems to be in order. New laptop (old one dying), new camera (indulgence, plus a really good deal), iPod (for long lonely days, =X). Wahahaha. I've spent ALOT and I certainly feel flat broke.
I didnt ask my dad for any money for the new stuff. After all, he has to fund my studies and thats not a small sum. =)
I can't believe I'm leaving at the end of the month! It just seems so soon. As much as I am psyched about studying again, and overseas too, I will be leaving alot of things behind. My boyfriend is flying with me, but he has to come back one day.... I'll be there alone most of the time! I haven't found anyone else I know going to Sydney. Going away for such a long period of time, I don't know if I can prepare enough...
Which brings me to my dilemma. I have to choose between a direct honours, and a double major. Hmmm. I would very much like to do a double major, but direct honours does have an advantage. Honestly, I can't imagine the work load in Uni. Poly third year was already madness. Sigh...
All my life is about now is preparation, and meeting up with friends... My blog is boring, but I guess writing was never one of my talents. Wahahaha!

Damn I wish I blogged more, almost as much as I had wished I've penned down more thoughts in my diary. Yes, I had a diary. Who knew? I was never consistent in such things. That is when I start scolding myself for never making an effort to remember the good things in life, and possibly not cherishing alot of those moments too.Met up with 4A last saturday, had a great time from meeting Ruth to wait for people who would have already turned up at the restaurant and catching up, having the horrid buckwheat (though the rest of the food was fine), gossiping and more catching up, and playing pool was Woan Rong, her sis and her sis's bf. WR has changed so much!!! Gosh we have so much in common, even the same allergy and bad skills in pool. Wahahah! I still can't believe what Nicholas has transformed into, and he even went "will you date me?" to wr. She insists he's joking, but anyway I still had to smack him real hard. Picked up smoking and looking high on drugs?
Quote, "I'm still the same old Nic with a stick in his hand. Aww come on, you know you miss me, give me a huggg."
Sheesh. I'm sorry, but smokers do disgust me. Especially if he was a nice guy back then!!!
I digressed. Anyway, joycie has a pretty good entry about the changes, so I shan't do the same thing. Besides, her writing skills and use of language is MUCH better. She did miss out some things though.
o1. The russian waiter had NO idea which meat he was serving.
o2. The russian waiter helped us to take a group photo and said, "Everybody say "peeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-nisssssssssssssssssss"."
Anyway I was so embarrased cause I hardly noticed the presence of a few guys (two of them, actually) til halfway through the gathering. No doubt they didn't change much, but I still just didnt notice them. Oopsie! I guess I noticed those who changed more.
I would write about every single person if I had the time. Hehehehe.
ANYWAY. I'm going to UNSW!
Just had to inform people who bother to read my rantings. =)
I'll blog again when I have less msn conversations to attend to, and probably when I'm bored in Aussie. Ciaos! =)

You know, maybe nothing really matters.Life is so meaningless and boring when you work full time. GAH!
Perhaps PMS is taking its toll once again.
Somebody tell me why I have to be female??
Like my bf once said, "so that you can marry me.". Sweet hor?
Which also means - a lifetime of suffering. GAH. I hate menses. The docotr once told me that people who have painful menses are those who are fertile. No pain = no ovulation = no baby.
Thus I have concluded. It hurts to be fertile. =( God's punishment to human is so painful.
GAH. Why am I feeling so down anyway?!

Its almost 2 months into my full time temp job. Time pretty much flies when you're working so hard. Before I know it, the year would be half over. There's plenty to think about at this point of time. For one, I haven't got a reply from Melbourne. I would much rather get a reply and at least know if I got in or not. Haha... At least then I'll be able to plan my next step. Somehow at this point of time, going to study in July seems like a really good idea. I don't want to get stuck working with measly pay for so long, and I guess I don't want to get rusty at studying. No doubt I learn alot of clinical stuff at work, but I guess its not enough.I'm getting really bonded with the people at work though. Politics drive people closer together. Wahahaha! Oh and I'm doing the old fashion pasting stamps on envelops and posting letters! Its been soooo long. =) I think I've used more stamos then I ever touched in my entire life. Not forgetting staples too. I refill my stapler about four times a day, and I'm a master of removing staples now. Lalalala.
I met Simin at marina square yesterday. I just screamed "SIIIIMMINNNN!" from the side nearer to kenny rogers, over to gloria jeans, where she works. Shops were almost all closed anyway. =X I miss my friends! I have no life nowadays. Hahaha. I joke around and cook with aunties and people who all tell me tales about their pregnancies. =/ Along with other gossips and making fun of people *ahem*. It does feel like an odd family there, with all the bitching going on. Oh by the way, I think the computer people are useless. Two days and they can't fix a glitch in the system. Hey hello, patients are waiting! Its not like you can take your own sweet time. I bet they get high pays. Hmph. Hahaha. Oh well.
I want to rest. Really. =/
I really should go to bed. SIGH.

I cannot believe that I'm addicted to burnout. AHHHHHHHHHHHH!*withdrawal symptoms*
Wahahaha. No lar, I'm not having any withdrawal symptoms, but rather a pair of hands with sore wrists. I have been playing burnout the past two days on my love's psp. Heeheehee. So fun! I guess crashing is fun. =) I want to play some more!!!!
Anyway, it has become quite interesting at work recently. HAHA! Our beloved Dr. Lim went on leave and left us to deal with our dear Dr. Chia, who sees like, 4 patients in an hour. IF, we didn't rush her. Wahahaha. So somehow the nurses managed to find this way to rush her so much that in a week she went on mc, and took a day's leave, complete with a PH. Wahahaha!
I have never seen a doctor this slow man! Borderline blood pressures and she made them come back to check again, for $10.50 somemore. None of the other doctors do it lor. So much so that Dr. Lee wanted to create new codes for registration - "Chia01- checkBP". "Chia02-check pulse".
Can you believe she made people pay 10 buckeroos to check a freaking pulse rate? GOSH.
Anyway, enough of the slowmo. I can't wait for Dr. Lim to come back...
I can't wait for june to come either. Oh, my next paycheck too! Ciaos! ;)

I miss my girls! I miss pretty much everybody. I haven't had any time to go out at all. Work ends at 5odd but after that I pretty much just want to go home, especially i work so near to home and so far away from any MRT. Takes pretty long to get to bedok, and bedok is far from town. Heh. I do go out when I get bike rides! Haha!I got a new pretty helmet! =)
Check out the 360 degrees view! Wahaha!
http://www.shoeihelmet.co.jp/hellineup/jet/h_jstamo/stage07.html
Anyway I just recovered recently from a bout of gastric flu, and frankly speaking, it sucks! My stomach felt like it was curling up and trying to commit suicide. I couldn't even walk anywhere, or even sleep! Thank God that the bf was around. He so sweetly went out to buy food for me in the rain, but all I could stomach was 2 sips of soup. =( I ended up staying over at his house cause I couldn't go home. Stomach cramps + menstral cramps? BLEAH. Anyway his mummy helped to apply medicated oil on my stomach, and pretty much took care of me. All i did was lie down, sleep, pretty immobile. =/
I guess its really God's blessings that I could get out of bed to go for the U-21 men's finals, and in the state of excitement jump up and cheer for goals. =D SCC won!! Hurray for the bf! Three years in a row. They are a close knit group. I'm envious. =)
Honestly, I had more fun watching this year than the last. I guess its cause I had to kaki this year. Watching alone not so fun la. Hahaha. Besides, the kaki really very kanchiong one. =) (what english i have.. sigh) It was fun this year. I miss hockey!!
Played a friendly against RJ yesterday, and my legs are sore now. My stamina now just plain sucks. I never had good stamina to begin with, but during those times of hockey I did improve. Now I guess I can't run, I can't sprint. =( I want to play but it feels so limiting to be weak. I want to go run but after work I just feel so lazy. Sigh.
I'm still waiting for a reply from the uni. Won't be anytime soon I think, I just applied not too long ago. Oh well. Somehow I hope that I can only start in Feb'08. I want to buy more time. =)
Meanwhile I've done alot of thinking and reflecting, and I guess that I really should go easier on myself sometimes. Maybe I should take some time off to spend with friends, especially those I haven't met up for too damn long. Oh well...

I'm on a task to do something almost impossible - clean my room.I've got this new rack from ikea, because my wardrobe is soooo tiny. Trying to arrange my clothes is tedious, but not because I have too many. I have so many clothes that I use to sleep in. Heh. Old shirts from the past, which I don't want to throw away. Ah well.
My room is so small, I had to rearrange a number of things just to fit the rack in. =X
Still a long way from a clean room. The arrangement of my room is kinda dumb lar, since its something for a kid. I have quite alot of unusable space due to the arrangement. Heh. Then again, I'm pretty good at messing rooms up. =D
I've actually got a truckload of stuff in my mind, so much so that I don't even know what's really bothering me. I've become this very bored and boring person these few days. Its not even PMS. Sorry boyfriend! I hope this passes soon.
K lar, I should go back to the mission impossible. =)

Haven't blogged for awhile. I was getting busy, and busy getting sick. Sigh.Finally applied for UniMelb. Now what?
Been working and I'm really starting to feel like a parrot. "come in come in come in" "sit down sit down" "wait outside wait outside". Grrrrr.
Ahhh.
I had stuff to blog. Now I'm just too lazy! Blearh. =/
Laters.

Life's a damn weird thing. I know we all should live life to the fullest, but sometimes I think all that is bullshit. How to leave life to the fullest when we can't stop thinking about things? Like exams, where to further your studies, what to further, whether you will like it, whether you can get in....I don't think that anyone has had everything going the way they want it to be, except those spoilt rich bastards out there. In a certain time of everyone's life, we meet rejection, dejection, dilemmas, and all sorts of other things. If you can look at everything with a positive mindset, good for you! Its not easy to be cheerful all the time. Hard as I might try, I still get sad, worried, and even feel regretful about things I've done. I admit I could have done better in school, if I worked harder, especially in year two. At the same time I'm glad I got so much more chances to participate in events that are once in a lifetime opprtunities. Maybe its those that make me study lesser, or maybe I couldn't juggle things well enough. Its all in the past now anyway.
When you're in school, you can't wait to get out of school. But is working what you really want? A full time job, complete with gross politics and underhand means for promotions and pay increments? The competitiveness of a working environment would be a great deal more than school. Working full time is quite a drag, especially when it becomes a routine. I want to go to work with a new objective, new challenges.
What do I want to do with my life? I know I want to study. I need a cert to get what I want in the future. I want to do research, something which isn't just boring old nine to five routine. Something I can progress on, something ever changing. Its true that research work can last for a long time, but somehow the monotony is different from office jobs. I'll never be an OL. I can't possibly survive that. What to should I do in Uni? I can't stop wondering. I want to do immuno, pharmacology, and biotechnology. I want to study IT modules, design modules, english, and many many more. I won't be satisfied if I specialise already. Yea, I know I'm greedy, and perhaps its making me lose focus. Ambitious, I suppose...
Sometimes I really thank God I'm in Biotech instead of Medtech. Phew.
Somehow more choices also mean a bigger headache for me. =/
Who should I listen to? Who do I look to for advice? Where should I be? What do I really want to do? I'm reallllly confused.
Is a better cert more worth it than if I can go with a friend? Does the better cert equate a more meaningful education? I want to learn more. Is QUT better for me? I'm really confused.
Should I go in Aug or Feb? Would I have no more wish to study if I start too late? It feels so horrible sometimes to be caught in decision making. If you know me quite well, you'll know I can never decide. =/ My boyfriend would know very well. =X
Sometimes I really wonder how life would be without my boyfriend readily available. When I'm overseas, and I need him how? Long distance call so expensive. I want to fly him over and have him take care of me. How would Uni life be? Definitely worse than poly. Ah well... Still must study. In Aust, would I be able to do what I want? Or would I make the same mistake of trying to do too much, thinking that I have time for everything? Hmmmm...
I want to play hockey, I want to take up piano again, I want to play handbells again, I want to serve in the airport again, I want to do so many things....! I want to get my class3before I fly! Hey that means I better go in Feb. Lalalalalalala...
I have this mixed optimistic/pessimistic view of life. Sounds so schizophrenic la. Haha.

I want a new blog skin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I used to like my blogskins. Boo. I got no time to get a new blogskin! =( Bleah.
Anyway, I think I owe the girls an apology cause I was supposed to take a day off this week. AHhhhhh. I couldn't!! I couldn't come online either. So busy that I am so tired!! Sorry!! Hahaha. Anyway, next week's good. =) Friday? =D
I'm accompanying my boy in the morning, so I guess I'll be pretty free from noon onwards. Lalala.
Feeling pretty random cause nothing's being processed properly in my brain. =X
