I'm going to grow horizontally =(

It sucks, with your attitude; It sucks even more, with my character.
I better do something before I start regretting, again.

On a lighter note, yesterday afternoon saw us at Gloria jean's. And we only paid $3 for our regular sized ice blended! how cool is that! I ordered a cocoa loco (i think that's the name), topped with lots of whipped cream and chocolate, very sinful I know (: I still prefer their mint choco bomb though. Lots of random conversation -as usual haha- and caught the last train before the peak hour.

4.01 today. I stared at the piece of paper and checked if it was really my name for a thousand times. Okay, it's all BBDC jargon, so in short, I had a change of instructors today. Hmm... I wonder why. Had a different car -same model though- and I panicked when I drove off. The accelerator was very sensitive and the clutch was very rigid, as compared to the usual car that I always drove. So in the end, I was very tensed up during the 100 mins, for the first time. And to make matters worse, the wiper was $%!#%#$ loud. They should change the wiper, seriously. Other than these, the instructor was nice and patient. It's just the car... haha.

Oh, it finally rained!

pancakes for breakfast tmr (:

food galore!

I think I want to be a chef next time! HAHAHA.
I've been cooking my lunches recently, and I haven't gotten any food poisoning! AND, the food is tasty! hahah okay so the lasagna incident a year ago is history! jiateng you should read this when you book out mann... hahahah!

okay, the dishes are not that amazing and definitely not the standards of a chef YET -maybe I should enroll myself in At-Sunrice- but at least I know I will survive with my own cooking (:

so, I've whipped up a bowl of potato salad, cooked a piece of steak well-done, served 2 pita wraps (totally non-greek style), steamed a plate of drunken chicken (I soaked the chicken wings in half a cup of whisky), simmered a few marinated chicken wings which served as side dishes to a plate of spaghetti topped with diced tomatoes and sauce... ((:

on another note, I had my auto car lesson that day. It's soo much easier to drive an auto, but manual gives you more control of the car, which I really like!

not just another day

The queue at B&J's on free cone day is horribly long! I mean, it's just ice-cream! HAHAHA only people who have all the time in the world should do such things; students should go home and revise their work diligently, and people at work should not even be there because they should be at work! haha! okay I'm being a donkey. ((: because I have too much time at hand and everyone should have their firsts.

Anyway, Caiyun, val, kahhwee and I met yesterday and we had a lovely talk. I can't remember what we talked about, because the conversation was so random. Like we would talk about issue A for a moment and switch to B and then to C and back to B... haha. It was nice, catching up (:

---
Val and I met today to hike up Bukit Timah hill! We took some deserted bike road from behind rail mall -and I ended up with more than 10 mosquito bites- to the visitors' centre before starting our hike up the hill. She was all skeptical about the route initially though -haha actually I wasn't too sure where I was walking too- but when there's a road, it will lead to somewhere! The weather was good, we got our vitamin Ds and shed some calories. Awesome day!

Autocar lesson tomorrow!

one night in Singapore...

hahaha. I think if army doesn't require the recruits to run so much, I probably would have join it. But on the other hand, I will most likely be trained to run a lot, so it won't be a hard time too, I guess?

Driving tomorrow! :D oh and free cone dayyy ((: hahaha! I've never been to one actually! because NS pass gives me such great discounts, I buy a cone almost every month last year.

Goodnight world, save me from this flu bug..

my choice

Backpacking in singapore?? HAHA I wouldn't mind if someone as crazy enough is willing to embark on this trip with me. What to bring: EZ LINK, a bottle, change of clothes, a towel... hahaa, how does a day trip around Singapore sounds? *hints to fellow unemployed friends*

I'm thrilled!

Oh well, sadly in the end, I won't be going to Africa before my tertiary studies, I won't be going to Taiwan, I won't be going to Nepal... but hopefully I will get my licence! No, I'm not disappointed -well, maybe a little-, but I'm really really satisfied. I think I usually am. heh (:

Us as Primates

What will happen if I disappear suddenly?
Trudge into the (dark) heart of Africa and live with a group of Bonobos?
Head into the forests of Alaska and howl with the Wolves?
Marry an African and live in their village?
Or maybe shiver in the freezing winds of Antarctica.

what an adventure it will be!

hey kiddo

daddy's coming back tomorrow!

& I don't wanna grow up this fast. =(

yeah (:

i miss Jumper

I doubt I will be able to get a scholarship since I haven't received any news. O wells, I'm cool with it. After all, that was what I expected, wasn't I? (: I'm thinking if I should apply pretoria. I mean, 130 places, no way will I be able to get in, especially with probably 120 places going to local students? But on the other hand, I will never know until I've tried. But applying for that will probably hold my decision, and that is the last thing I want on my mind right now. So... what next? should I pray hard and hope that money falls from the sky? haha. Anyhow, I have to wait for down under to reply me. 2 more weeks before I start calling up the provider.

I was at the airport yesterday morning to send my Dad off for his biz trip. After he left, I settled down at a nice and comfy spot and I started to rethink my options. Everything was pretty clear to me once I listed out the pros and cons, but I can't make any decisions now; the time is not ripe. I shall wait (:


I miss Jumper =(

I think I may stay unemployed.
Not a bad thing actually, as I get myself occupied with stuff, and I don't really go out, so I don't have to spend. (:
Next task: Cook dinner everyday! Hahahaha, so fun :D
Oh yeah, and I really want to explore Singapore. ((:

while waiting for Marley and me to load, I shall iron the clothes!

blogosphere

Three things:

1) My mum and I were discussing about how blogs can mislead people and reveal the inner self to others who may not even know you, yesterday. It's so true, so why am I still blogging? Just because I'm plain lazy to keep a diary. sigh. Maybe soon, when the time is right, but right now, I can't stand my old diary; it's this notebook that I keep to rant unreasonable stuff, and the things I write are simply incoherent. well yeah, so people, do not misunderstand the things that I write. Hahaha, my life is quite simple, but I don't think it's that simple to be deciphered, so don't try. heh (:

2) Vetsch just made my offer unconditional (: haha so now all I have to do is wait for the calls (hopefully!) and then decide on my firm and insurance choices. And I hope UQ and Usyd and ANU reply me soonnnn, like real soon; I hope idp isn't actually holding back my applications.

3) I had this really weird but nice dream yesterday. I dreamed I adopted Jumper and brought him on a plane. He was going overseas with me to further my studies! hahaha and he was cuddled up in my arms for the entire journey. I think I also vaguely remember someone tugging him away from me which really pissed me off. awww I miss him already.

hundredth post

Yesterday marked the last day of attachment. It was another day as usual; putting on my scrubs and gloves, cleaning the poop and pee, holding the animals down, assisting the VTs, getting a few more scratches from playing with Jump Jump... except that yesterday I left at around a quart past eleven for NJ (team NJ had matches at PL).
Reluctantly, I removed my scrubs and headed upstairs to bid Jumper farewell. (aww) For the first time, it curled up -burying his head in my folded arms- and purred, as if he knew I was leaving and that was the way he said goodbye. That little devil became an angel so quickly before you could even say "Jumper"; he had given me a couple of teeth marks earlier that morning when I was teasing him with a leash. Gently, I carried him -like how Rafiki the Mandrill took Simba and presented him to the gathering of the animals beneath Pride Rock- and rubbed his nose against mine, whispering a soft goodbye before placing him back in his cage. sigh

Later in the afternoon, we saw what was a crucial match between NJ and TP. It seemed pretty much a repeat of what happened 2 years ago. Nevermind the heartbreak and tears, I guess it's the team spirit that I saw in them and the memories that they have together which matter most ultimately.

Dinner with juniors at J8's Ajisen afterwards and I talked about my options with val. I guess I saw a bit of light, but I'm still pretty much at the same state. I sort of knew that I would end up with a dilemma when I applied, since I was betting on a lot of things, but I didn't care about it then. Or maybe I should wait and see how things go in the next 2 weeks.

On another note, I'm still feeling annoyed. Hatred is definitely unnecessary, but I think I will see you from a different perspective. Tell me about human behaviours, future psychologists. haha


zoo tomorrow! :D

Exasperated

Life is unfair; accept it.


Embrace the differences; see things in a different perspective.


Rant and forget. (:

Jumper

Tomorrow's my last day on attachment. =(
2 weeks have taught me quite a bit of stuff, like the names of the surgical tools and drugs like Tramadol; I've seen a number of cases with Parvo virus being the first, followed by cat flu, fungal infection, broken limbs, diarrhoea, ultrasound etc. I've seen retractors, mayo scissors, needle drivers, occluders, sutures... There's so much more to learn, but I guess that's only possible if I go on to study Vet medicine.

I doubt I will miss cleaning the cages, but I will definitely miss standing by the door, looking on as the docs do their surgeries. AND, I will definitely miss Jumper, despite him leaving lots of scratch marks on me. stupid Jump Jump. (:



on another note, NJTT girls won MJ! :DD


My heart sank when I heard that Pretoria only accepts S.African students. but oh well, maybe postgraduate (:
