Good To Be Home

So, Poland was great. Cold, but lots of fun! I enjoy sight seeing in Europe. Everywhere is just so pretty! The architecture is definitely beautiful. It even snowed once! Though it wasn't that great cos of the slush, which made it difficult to walk around. Shopping was fantastic. Managed to get shopping all done and bought a lot of presents! Buying presents for guys is the ultimate nightmare. It's just so difficult! We did the tourist stuff too. Saw the concentration camp, which was depressing and utterly tragic. I never want to go back there again, but one quote is certainly true:

The one who does not remember history is bound to live through it again.

I guess it's good I went there albeit the sadness accompanied with it. All in all, this was a good trip, though a bit too long. I'm starting to have withdrawal symptoms already. I miss watching German MTV and listening to German music (no kidding, it's actually quite good!)


Then again, I'm so glad to be back! Caught up with the girls last night and boy was it fun doing what we do best! It was an absolute blast! Dao huay in the car was fantastic though strange? I'm so glad for this catch up session. Amazing how much you can miss people in 3 months. Life without them has definitely been strange, not bad but strange. I really miss last year so much! Funny how the supposed worst year of your life preparing for As, actually proved to be the most memorable and fun!

Here's to more great times to come! (: Merry Christmas everyone!

BOILING WITH RAGE AND FEVER

i am in a very bad mood now.

i am ill. been ill since sat probably but never got to rest cause sun i wanted to help liz(not ure fault honeycakes!i loved spending time with u) mon i had a tutorial group social which was dinner at nandos and clubbing, tues i had FOUR tutorials spread out from 9-5pm BLOODY HELL and today(wed) i was supposed to have a nice dinner and clubbing with my future housemates. was looking forward to this actually.

so i woke up today and had a splitting headache decided to go to the gp and end it once and for all. i could barely cross roads my head hurt when i looked left or right so i decided to take my chances and walk across the road whenever i felt like it. i survived,yay. im too grumpy to put an exclamation mark. i swear roads here are STUPID and well just STOOPEED. STUPID STUPID. argh, just STUPID. when i eventually reached the gp(btw it's bloody cold here and when i'm ill that's not a good thing wah lau eh i hate the cold!!) and the receptionist totally greeted me unfriendly-ly cause i was a wreck and greasy i seriously dont know how the angmohs turn up at the gp with makeup i didnt even have the strength to change underwear!in short, the lady was mean and not comforting. the comps were down or sth so i had to wait for an hr then eventually a NURSE saw me. and prescribed paracetemol and ibuprofen and get this, TOLD ME TO WALK TO TESCO(30 mins away) TO GET MY MEDS. oh, all this after telling me i had a temperature of 38.8 degrees. whoopee. i hate the system here. i want to be a doctor in singapore. seriously dont underestimate sg, u may think the english are more welcoming and friendly but singaporeans have their own chor-lor way of being warm, which i really prefer.

i eventually walked back to hostel(15 mins) almost died and called a cab to tesco. got my pills and am feeling slightly better. was a bit mad for a moment back then cause my medic friends are so bloody uncaring! MEDICS LEH!! for some reason everyone wants to see me today and i must have sent at least 20 texts to ppl saying im ill and am not in and that i have a fever and most just said oh take care DONT WORRY ABT IT somemore can DONT WORRY ABOUT IT!! and my future housemates better still. come and ask me if i feel up to dinner tonight. hello! fever! hello! HELLO!!!! i even hinted that i was starving but wasnt well enough to get food and one girl said GO GET FOOD SHAN i boiled and almost died of rage. in hostel last time no need to do anything one. i just lie in bed looking pathetic and my roommate would treat me like a queen. ugh. pissed off!!!!!!

oh wait my flatmate just texted me saying she'll get me lunch. i feel slightly better now but still mad. they better come visit me later i know the bunch of them are having lunch tgt. GRR.

homesick :(

it's been a long long week. elizabeth came over yesterday evening and stayed over and she just left and i'm really missing her now and feeling extra homesick. she reminded me of singapore and everyone i love and have left behind in sg and somehow i feel like i just wanna be among everyone there now. it's going to be so hard coming back here after i've been home for a month, i'm going to miss everyone so so badly. everything's been going alright for me, finished my last presentation test on fri and next week's a slack week and i'm flying back on 14th :) prob gg to singapore on 20th maybe? i cant wait to see everyone i really can't, shit liz really made me feel homesick though i was quite awful this morning sorry liz for making u hunt the station down i still feel really bad about that.

Run Baby Run

The pride gained is worth the pain.

So Sam and I accomplished and conquered our first ever half marathon. I must admit when I pulled myself out of bed at 445am, that I felt mildly insane. After all, this is the earliest I've woken up in a long time. In fact, sometimes, I sleep at that time. Despite the foul tasting power gel that made me get a stomache, the smelly toilets and the crowd, I must admit, it was kinda fun, albeit in a sadistic and twisted way but the feeling is awesome. The feeling of crossing the finishing line knowing that you really gave it your all is an accomplishment in itself. Although I now have aching legs, a stomache and a cold, it was definitely worth it and I'd do it over again. This time I think I should train so that maybe I won't ache so much? Thank God I didn't get cramps.
This wouldn't have been the same without Sammy mummy though! The company was ace and I think we kept each other going, at least she did for me. I admire her fighting spirit and her bravery. Thanks Sam (:
Full marathon next year?
