10 promises to my dog
Saturday, June 28, 2008 12:59 PM  12-year old Akari fell in love with a puppy that had wandered into her house and adopted it. She names it "Socks" as its' paws looked like they had white socks on. The girl and dog are inseparable, and the pet was a great comfort to Akari while grieving her mother's death. However, as Akari grows up, her feelings and interest moves away from Socks. Year by year, their distance grows, which also leads to her physical distance as she moves to a far off city, and must leave Socks behind to a childhood friend. One day Akari remembers the 10 promises that she had made to Socks and her mother... This is another to-watch show on my list. I realised I've watched every dog-related movie; be it Quill or others. The ending always tugs at the heartstrings; and tear dropping. I believe this is another show which dog-lovers must watch; because the cute puppy really is so adorable!!
Uniform fitting managed to drag me outta bed..
1:09 AM  I didn't really felt like attending today's lecture; but the uniform fitting thought managed to drag the lazybone me outta bed & into the shower. It really does motivate me in some way; finally I can get to wear the student nurse's uniform, aft much anticipation & excitement. The crowd in the fitting room was a mess; try-on uniforms were thrown all around; and classmates with tried on uniforms were busy taking pictures. Funny how it seems to get everyone excited.. Anyway, bought a total of 3 sets! Broke. Project was also completed on time today; which makes me even more happier. The joy was simply incontainable. Proj was done till 8pm; and D came to pick me up as usual. He brought me to the Indo restaurant to eat again; aft I told him tt I had an intense INTENSE intense craving for it AGAIN again AGAIN. I bet he couldn't stand me; but being the Mr Nice as he has always been..Hiak hiak..  Wanted to watch '10 promises with my dog", but couldn't catch it at a later timing in town thus we proceeded to Geylang to eat durians.. Yesh, my fav big big durians! Before tt, I made him do something which totally embarrass him; and probably scare the shit outta him. Well, made him record a coversation betw a prostitute & him; cos I wanted to put tt clip in my Sociology presentation, hoping it'll earn extra marks. But too bad, couldn't really hear the prostitute's voice in the clip cos she was speaking real softly. Aww, wasted. (But appreciate ya effort for helping ya?) *stretches and looks at the time* Wow.. Been a pretty long time since I slept without doing any project first.. Let me reward myself by getting some decent sleep.. *Yawns* Yes, I totally deserve it.. Good night everyone.. Pls have a good good sleep tonight..
Friends are forever
Wednesday, June 25, 2008 10:14 PM  “Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends.”
When I'm bored in lect... I draw...
Monday, June 23, 2008 10:18 PM  A long day, starting from Nursing Lab class in the morning. Lectures fr 12-6 really took the toll off me, dozing off every now & then. I think everyone would agree that the way I sit is totally not lady-like; but that's the way I am.. Hee, I don't care.. After lectures, wenta town & waited for D to finish his appointment with his customer at Paragon. I've been this having this craving for Indonesian food for over a week; and Poor D has no choice but to bring me there to satisfy my cravings. It did good; I'm feeling so full & satisfied now.  Vroom vroom to Tuesday!
"If I am so wonderful, Why am I still single?"
Sunday, June 22, 2008 4:40 PM Sometime during the previous week, was doing my other proj in the library. Doreen spotted books which had very interesting titles. The first person i thought of upon seeing the title was.. Pekhar... Hey, shuld I borrow this book for u to read? Hehe.  Got a lil distracted while searching for relevant Sociology books.. Hey, it's normal to be distracted right? Doreen saw a few books on weddings; and asked me to hurry over to take a look. Anyway, weddings are really pretty. So are brides. Geee... Don't ya think so? 
Happy 22nd b'day, Jean!
3:56 PM A priceless celebration on Fri night at Double'O with my bestest poly mates fr NP; some of which I'vn met up in ages. Kayden (Regina's bf) joined us as well. We heard fr Regina that he loved to mambo dance; we pestered him to show us some moves; but he plainly refused.. Pity eh? It was a nice meetup; tho I was exhausted by 1am due to a long day in school.       D is very nice; he came to pick me up & my friends & drove us home.. Snored like a pig once I reached home; and woke up in 4 hrs time to meet up with my usual proj grp at my 2nd home, NYP. We managed to complete 1 proj; 5 more to go. Wish me the best of luck. Jean, I'm really excited & happy for you tho I shed a few tears uncontrollably. You'll always be my best friend. And I'm really happy, really sincerely happy for you fr the bottom of my heart.
See u guys in the battlefield..
Tuesday, June 17, 2008 11:26 AM These few days has been dreadful, struggling & struggling to get the whole FCH book into my pea-brain. But to no avail. There's just too much to study; and all of us have given up halfway. Now, we only hoped for a pass. I'm planning to boo-shit my way through the paper tmr. If only.. burning the FCH book & 'pao (4) shui (3)' drink will help... To my dear classmates. Know that you guys ain't having a easy time struggling with it too. But let's survive through tonight; and at least we'll be free from the 'exam' monster for a while.. At least a while.. We can do it! See you guys in the battlefield tmr, dearies. (Remb to bring lighter; let's burn our FCH books in front of Mdm Asmah tmr.. once we fin the exam.. Hoohoo!!) Will blog a decent entry again soon.
Tuesday with my girlies
Friday, June 13, 2008 4:24 PM Girlies therapy works perfectly well as a stress reliever for me, a perfect combination of laughter, jokes and updates. Y'know, when you haven't seen someone for so long, you'll just feel a burst of energy around them & you'll feel like updating them on everything. Esp since she's someone dear to u, a fellow Christian sister. We had a hard time choosing the place as usual.. But ended up in Din Tai Feng at Raffles City in the end.. Here's Siew Teng & Graceeeee:
Anyway, we had a real model today for wound dressing. Mai, my classmate was hurt while playing hockey some day ago; and ended up with 4 stitches on her eyebrow area. Mdm Asmah did the dressing for her while we watched. Mai was so excited & happy that u probably couldnt' believe that she's inj. Here's some pictures...
Today's a free friday, joining my cell mates for dinner first before going for cell group. D will be coming to pick me up after that, I've never been this excited and happy to see him as compared to today. Probably because I'hvn been seeing him much this week. Yeah, I'm so excited. Kudos. Have a good weekend, pals.. =D
Wound Stitching Removal
Thursday, June 12, 2008 5:48 PM  Another random picture of our class again, taken during our nursing lab practical lesson. Standing in the middle is Mdm Asmah, a much hated and loved lecturer. Sometimes she speak so fast that we couldn't catch what she's saying & at other times, she contradict herself. Tho she has her bad points, but her good point is that.. She's more lenient than Mdm Ee in the practical assessment perhaps?We're learning on wound stitches removal and wound healing this week; and we're practicing on a shoulder pad. We've to do up the 'stitches' using black thread to stitch it on; and after we finish practicing the removal of the stitch, we got to stitch it back again & practice again. Ok, this goes on again & again.. I can't help but to re-emphasize the fact that I really hate stitching. Here's a pic of the shoulder pad which we practices on; red dot representing bloody wound and tube representing drainage tube fr surgical site. Oh, fyi. Nurses are not doing the stitching & stapling of wound, doctors will be the ones doing it. We'll just be removing the drainage tube & removing stitches. So, don't worry yeah? =D
Good News..!
Monday, June 9, 2008 10:39 PM The greatest news probably came today; in the midst of my Bio Sci lesson when Dr. Yong decided to publicly display our test results on the noticeboard. And I was glad, really happy that I got an A for my test which I had studied so hard for [truth was: half study, half surfing; half munching on chips]. And the second good news came yesterday, I received a letter fr NYP rgd my successful exemption for Statistic module!! Hooray, this calls for a BIG celebration! This will mean that I've 1 less module thn others to cope with for 1 of the sem next yr. =D And before I start on my next bigger challenge[Family & Community Health EXAMINATION ON NEXT WED], I shall let my hair down & relax for a while first. I'll be meeting my dearest poly-mates from Ngee Ann tmr, for a good dinner.. I'm sure there'll be lots for us to catch up on, considering that we haven't meet up for so long. My dearest Grace, Siew Teng and Regina, I love you guys! Hooray..! I really need the break; and some friends-therapy. *Hugs* Good night everyone.
Happy 2 mth-sary, love..
9:55 PM Hi.. Introducing my love to you guys.. His name is Denver, nono.. Not Devil or Denver Nuggets, just Denver. He's my best friend, my crazy play-mate, my endless photo taking partner and he's also someone whom I practices my muay thai skills on. When I feel blue/happy/sad [basically, I just punch him whenevr I feel like it], I'll just have to give him a punch on his face or just swing 1 or 2 kick around, and it'll kinda cheer me up. Yes, it'll cheer me up aft I vent all my frustrations on him.. And he's sucha nice guy, always acting silly and laughing all his pain off. Tho he always say my punches don't hurt him and it's like an ant bite to him, but I know that he must be crying silently inside him because it's so painful & he doesn't dare to show it out. Aww, poor thing. [But, do I look lik I care?? *wink wink*] Presenting to you..21st Century Mr. Nice Guy:      We were at a relatively secluded beautiful restuarant called Villa Bali, near Mt. Faber. Well, it was his bright idea to bring me there for a dinner. But I did enjoy myself; quite amazed at how beautiful the place was surrounded with greeneries & flowers.. I wanna go back there again! I had the pleasure of ordering dishes without giving a hoot abt the price, because he told me the price doesn't matter.. (Poor guy trying to act rich?) Anyway, the BBQ Sambal Snapper was so good, I totally loved it. Not forgetting the fruits salad too; it had a sort of exotic taste which kept me addicted.. Yum!   Thank you for your lovely gift; and I hope that you liked yours too. Tho it's nothing much, but it probably almost kill-ed me to write all tt on the puzzle, it's difficult okie considering i'm not an arty farty person like my precious Ms. Ang Pek Har. Here's to our 2 mths; and hoping that there'll be more to come.. Cheers!  
Seeing trials the right way
Saturday, June 7, 2008 10:59 PM Too many of us view our trials the way we watch television. Some televisions have a second channel in the corner of your screen that enables you to divide your focus and watch two programmes at once. A lot of us try to superimpose our human viewpoint on the screen of God's will for our lives. God gives us a divine perspective, but then we open up a second screen - a human one - and try to figure it all out. Don't waste your trials by trying to fit them into your limited vision and understanding or you'll end up frustrated. It's much better to trust God, rest in His wisdom and take Him at His word. A spiritual perspective on your trials will keep you from buckling under the weight of them when times are hard. When you begin to look at your trials from God's perspective, you'll be enabled to press on and receive what God has waiting for you. James writes, 'Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the Crown of Life' (Jas 1:12 NASB). Who's it for? Those who 'persevere' to the end. When God gives you this crown, He's saying, 'You've passed life's tests.' Remember the wonderful feeling you had when you passed some of your hardest tests in school? Don't get discouraged. God is doing something good.
Just a thought..
Wednesday, June 4, 2008 7:42 PM As I was walking to the LRT fr my place, I saw an interesting sight.. - A young boy doing taichi exercises with his grandma In modern times, which young child would actually BOTHER to do taichi exercises & accompany the grandma? Most children would rather be busy playing their PSP or computer games, whatever games they've got now..rather than spend time with their grandma.. Now, that really warm my heart, and made my mood a happier one. I thought of my own grandma; and thought that it was really such a pity that she passed away early. I would definately dote on her very much; because she was my dearest one, very dear to me.. Anyway, that was just a thought, squeezing some time to blog in between my dinner time.. Will be cont to study for my Bio Sci test on fri aft dinner.. It's really driving everyone crazy.. Everyone.. Ciaoz!
We love our GAIA - Do ur part to save it!
Monday, June 2, 2008 12:35 AM  Gaia in Greek means "Earth" and is synonymous with "Mother Earth" Mediacorp has launched a eco-friendly project named "Saving Gaia" in response to global warming, in order to educate consumers about doing their part for the enviroment. The video broadcasted on TV caught my attention; and it struck me that our earth's resources are quickly depleting and the consequences might be drastic in the future, near future to come. I support the green movement in Singapore, do you? Pledge your support, Go Green! To do your small bit for our enviroment; here's some lil things which u can do to help: 1. Switch off any lights after use or when not in use 2. Say No to plastic bags 3. Take the public transport instead of driving if short distance 4. Recycle old mags/newspapers; Do not throw them away We only have one earth; the only one we've got. Do your part before it's too late.
After the challenging past week...
Sunday, June 1, 2008 5:00 PM After the challenging past week, here comes another. I'll be having a bio'sci test this fri; topics covered are from cells to respiratory system, which is a lot. But thank God, Dr, Yong had foresight; he knew we wouldn't budge & study if he didn't set mock tests to stimulate us. The previous 2 bio'sci mock tests did help us a lot; at least I don't have to study like mad now. It's comforting to knw that, really. Any idea why I said the past week has been challenging? Well, settled quite a lot of things the past week. Managed to clear off Family & Community Health & Critical Thinking proj presentation, Nursing Lab Practical test and Bio'sci mock test. My grp secured a B for FCH proj; which was a relief because we really worked on it & finalised everything the prev weeekend before we presented. And Raj from Grp 2 withdrew fr the course, paying $12,000. It's demoralizing to hear tt every now & then, when someone really couldn't take the stress and decide to pay the huge amt of money to get out fr this course forever. I'm going to keep moving on moving on moving on, towards my dream of saying the nurses's pledge on my graduation day. Right, Missy Yumi and Missy Doreen? Our dream! We must keep moving on, and work hard okie?? The most interesting highlight of the past week was probably my visit to the Anatomy Lab during my bio'sci practical session. Dr. Yong prepared sections of a body for us to view; for our learning purposes. The bodies were those of old folks who had no families; and therefore was unclaimed & donated for research purposes. No jokes, no laughing and no teasing was allowed in the lab. It was dissected in 1993/94 and preserved until now, not too sure what they used to preserve tho. But I was standing right next to the dissected body beside the trolley, so near I can smell & see every organ in such a perfect view. That's the 'interesting' part of being a nurse; u get to see all the things people doesn't get to see. The other interesting highlight I've to mention is... D and I finally placed bookings for our trip to Macau/Hongkong during my holiday period in Oct!! We'll be travelling on Tiger Airways..and will be outta Singapore fr 3rd Oct to 7th Oct 08! It's still so far away; but hey, it's making me a very excited and happy girl already! Yahooo! I'm gg to shop till I drop; and most prob eat until I grow fat too. >_<
Loves.
11:27 AM  I love you not only for what you are But for what I am when I am with you I love you not only for what you have made of yourself But for what you are making of me I love you for the part of me that you bring out
