happy 50th birthday you stubborn old woman :) there's still no place like home even if you are occasionally a bit silly and daft


have got to finish the treasure hunt report (but i can't remember what happened!) and fit the a voice pictures in (but they won't!), do all my homework, study for next weeks tests (on what!?!? D:), read things fall apart and save the universe from the jelly blobs of doom BY SUNDAY! :(

eww. my nail just came off.

wow blogger has its own upload video button now how snazzy

neurosurgery: Went into the OT to watch a shunt procedure. Saw a bit of brain and lots of fats and a tunnel under a man's skin. Bagged myself the most efficient doctor I had throughout attachment. Saw CT scans and met some high up guy who scolded his team.

ortho: Somehow ended up in ortho clinic until I managed to get self into wards with Dr Chen who never studied in med school. Saw a catheter change (mega ow). Dr Chen brought me into the on call room where a billion housemen were sitting around eating KFC.

Random doctor (to other random doctor): Ee comelnya. Kenapa muka dia muda sangat?
Other random doctor: Dia masih di college la. Bukan med student lagi.
Random doctor: Dari mana? Jepun ke?
Other random doctor: Dia orang sini laa!
*horrified look in my direction* Hah!? Dia boleh faham apa saya cakap?
*nod*
Random doctor: Amboi malunya!!

Also was offered the chance to draw blood but didn't want to cause patient more agony than necessary. Down in another ward, a little old lady called me "doctor, doctor" and told me her feet were cold

paeds:


This is Quyyam. His mom abandoned him and he's got no dad and his "abang" comes to look after him once in a while but he's pretty much taken care of by the hospital. I followed the doctors during their rounds and after hanging around Dr Leong for a bit was pretty much left on my own so I basically hung out with this little guy all day. Wandered like some wandering ghost around the ward a lot too and talked to a few patients/parents. Some of them have real sad stories. Quyyam's beats them all though yet he's hands down the happiest baby I've ever seen. When I had to go, he stood up in the cot and started wailing (it was only cos no other nurse was around though) and it was so heartbreaking to leave him there. :(((((((( I learned a lot from being in paeds today.

Just got back from camp and I learned quite a few things.

1. If you're in a mall in another state and you realize your friends are missing after everyone's left the meeting spot, DON'T stupidly go back inside to look for them because

a. You get innocent people in trouble
b. you piss off a whole busload of waiting people
c. and consequently a whole ballroom of scary adults
d. chances are, your friends will somehow find the bus before you anyway and you'll end up looking like a total fool
e. its not something anyone smart would do for anyone else. ever.


The treasure hunt kicked ass. More ass than amazing race. I discovered that Porta de Santiago is not only the name of a gate but the name of a wall too! (maybe the gate is attached to the wall, or wall functions as gate) and that Aunty Moh Lan is an Ophthalmologist and that I still remember how to read sign language and that Soon Seng office is next to the Hang Tuah museum and that somewhere out there in the big wide world, there is an Auto Service run by a Mr CH Ee (NOT Chee). Twas cool and we came in 2nd!! Yaay! (we were 2nd for amazing race too lollllll)








Attachment starts tomorrow. Yum. Also, Malacca is really pretty with all the really old old old shops that are painted funny colors and are all different with the hand done signs and all. Not really Jonker street because it looks sort of like Chinatown but the streets behind it. Jin Siang couldn't believe me when I said that because I'm such a city person and Angie always says she pretty much feels the same about Malacca as I do about Ipoh. I was so fascinated though (Ipoh is just boring) and kept taking pictures of everything. And the best part is, its all a nice clean kind of old, not a yucky rundown mouldy kind. I really wanted to see Soon Wei's family's printing press though :( oh wells.

maybe one day i'll wake up and this social pariahty and shyness and timidness and quietness will all just magically DISAPPEAR!

have realised now the shallowness of wanting to get full marks for chemistry as is just means of satisfying own overinflated ego (intelligencewisely) and also that an A is sufficient as Australian unis don't care if is an 80 A or a 99.9 A which is good because is no way am getting latter although it would be nice (though strictly unnecessary) to get good solid A as opposed to shaky nonsense borderline A. am rambling, hair is mad, head is madder and maddeningly painful and am leaving for camp and have no assam DURR!

It's been such a lovely day! :) (despite the fact that it took me the last 45 minutes to get into blogger grr)

We were supposed to watch a movie but being the jakuns we are, neither of us booked any tickets so we ended up bumming around all over the place like the bums we also happen to be.

Ate SOO much too; lunch, gelato, maggi, dinner etc ok fine, in retrospect it doesn't look that much but it felt like it and at one point, realiszed I was walking into tuition holding 3 bags of junk food. Erk. We got hungry so we bought Hotcups and sat on the sidewalk to eat them :) Yummm.

GH called me too so I've kinda gone from having 0 attachments to TWO in the span of like..i dunno..a few days? I can't even remember when I faxed them. Oh at lunch we both suddenly realised that it's the 22nd today (which means the 21st is gone forever) and that both of us totally forgot about our anniversary (ok fine, monthniversary) at which point much faking and covering up and pretending we really knew but didn't want to let on ensued.

I couldn't answer Mr Tan AGAIN! Gah! Felt very much stupid and bummed and the Sher kept trying to get me to chill but is v. hard to chill when you know your brain is slowly DEGENERATING! I found out today that acids and bases conjugate. Just like worms! how kewlies is that? :D

I HAVE TO WEAR MY LAB COAT TO THE HOSPITAL! Hahaha. Had better wash all the chemicals off it first in case I kill someone.

Wins came over too for a short catching up session and to drop off the goodies (Dido and Nick Hornby-yayy!) Was our first sit down in a veerrrryyyy long time (like before the showcase) Must make time for a makan soon, my friend. :)

Am feeling much less ill and readier for family camp today. Lalala

Thanks for an awesome awesome time today! :)

sometimes (if i'm lucky) i have these coolass dreams where i have infinite momentum and can turn pirouette after pirouette after pirouette after pirouette after pirouette etc ad infinitum. it's so effortless and feels amazing and i never get dizzy! i just realized that i never spot my head in the dream but thats such a minor glitch. the point is, i wish infinite momentum existed in real life. the other point is, there does exist a dimension in which i can pirouette! yess!

oh man my neck and legs and back are all KILLING ME! mostly because i slept funny last night but also because we were killerly made to STREEEEETTTTCCCCHHHH today D:

lady from UH called me back today- whee! thank God. i was beginning to worry i'd left the attachment till too late (as usual) but God is gracious to procrastinators :) kinda need some letter from HELP to certify that i am a student there (as opposed to..a random bum?) which i can (hopefully) get by tomorrow.

family campily is on thursday boo.

me: ms leong i cant-
ms leong: aaaaahhhppp!!
me: come on fr-
ms leong: lalalalallaa!!! every week! EVERY WEEK!
me: i have to go for church-
ms leong: EVERY WEEK SURE GOT ONE PERSON!
me: BUT!! BUT! BUT!
ms leong: qwfghjklknbvdsdfvbnkloiuyt!!
me: =X


(soo my theme song of 2006 man) postal service is the r0x0rs. 8)

my mojo (whatever a mojo is) is gone and it's not coming back! i don't sound like myself (on other hand, never actually did in the first place) :( boo..

i seem to have very little to say nowadays, maybe i'm slowly reverting back to my natural mute state.

Family camp is this Thursday, which means I miss ballet on Friday. Hee hee hee. I remember last year's family camp ;)

Have decided not to resit any papers other than the 'B'ed Much Ado, even though my marks weren't quite what I hoped for. Was being pretty big headed, thinking that it came out of my own efforts rather than from God. He did actually give me more than what I deserved (it could have been MUCH worse) which I'm really thankful for. Maybe wanted to teach me a lesson too about relying on my own strength (which isn't very much to begin with anyway). The Cambridge forms are finally over and done with (so mah fan) and so is the personal statement. (YESS!!)

The Jason's birthday is today but poor guy is sick with flu. It still surprises me when I think about it. Once we were yelling at each other over computer rights and slamming doors and now we actually like each other. Really really strange. Maybe we're finally growing up

Thank you God!!

(no need to repeat unit 2 :)
HAH! Blasted electric, sworn enemy of mine- I CONQUERED you!!!

oh my. thursday is getting nearer and nearer and nearer!
so you see, whatever it is now,
just got back from ballet. i have on days, where i can do pirouettes fine (and doubles if i'm lucky) and then i have off days where i can't even releve straight. today was a total off day.
the fact still remains that
i need to somehow get an attachment soon. and go register for bmat.
i've always been the 2nd choice girl.
last weekend was kickass :) will post pictures when i get them.
never the 1st.
soonk- i can't remember my first impression of you but i'm sure it was something good!

Labels: secrets

i don't give off a very good first impression. either that or i leave none at all.


too much indomee makes one ill (good advice)
ms caroline says i'm not passionate about anything; if only she can see how passionately i eat when i'm in the mood.

beebee- I'M SO SORRY!!!!!!!i cant remember if i got you a present or not >.<
yan- tell me something about yourself that i don't know
elsa- i hope your files managed to find you
stef- i will never understand why your pandan indah house is at cempaka and not pandan indah
steph- did you know that you were the first person i noticed on orientation day?
lynn- stop being childish. i don't not care; it's horrid not talking to you

you're all awesome

Andrew: I'm quite delighted with the way the colors and design have turned out

Yay! :) i was so relieved when I read that. It means that the all nighter and dayer I put in won't count for nothing. 8). It always feels like I did more work when I cram it into a concentrated period rather than stretch it out over weeks.


Oh and I really must figure this whole dancing thing out soon o.O Last night we were all on the dance floor and I was so lost so I just bopped up and down rhythmlessly and Stef was trying to teach me how and kept going "Move, Sarah MOVE!!" which was when I'd just bop faster. It was mega fun watching Arthur and Sarah Jean though- they're REALLY GOOD! Especially Arthur, he dances like other people breathe! I would post pictures except my canon is in the shop for repairs which cost about 300 bucks and mum was reluctant to pay so I asked if I could pay for them myself and keep the camera and she agreed!! Data entry I could kiss you! :D


Have to finish rewriting my personal statement soon. Ms Caroline said that I'm a very cold and calculative person, also very detached (but from what I wasn't too sure) and it showed in my statement so she said to rewrite it with MORE PASSION!!! D: and to basically convince them that I'm not what I actually am and something else and it's all very confusing but the point is I'm having a lot more trouble writing the fake one than I did writing the real one :( durr....


Am sworn off fries, conjunc is back and I NEED MORE CLOTHES!!!!! D:
