The one good thing that may come out of this blog.

Okay something I am going to keep in mind and always always remember.

BE nice to your juniors.

And please my dear darling people who are reading this, be nice to YOUR juniors. by juniors, i mean people who were where you used to be and want to be where you are now. that was convoluted. i'll elaborate.

see today at volunteering two lovely doctors were unbelievably nice to me, between running from patient to patient they sat down with me to teach me random things that i can't remember now and to show me CT scans and funny instruments and to smile at me and say nice things though they said i'm ridiculous for wanting to spend time in a place i'll be dying to get out of in a few years (omg please let me end up in that situation i want to pass!!)

and basically my point is they'll probably go home and forget about me by tomorrow but I'll always remember how nice and encouraging they both were and how they were kinda trying to protect me from the nurses in a sense- they were like - those nurses ain't teaching you nothing, it's okay i'll teach you----- and for the first time i felt like i was a part of a community that's filled with lovely people.

Last week this bossy looking surgeon who seemed to scare the hell out of the nurses kinda barked a how you doin' at me and cracked a few jokes to cheer me up(i was stressing cause three phones had just rang in a row, all asking for the most ridiculous sounding names which im sure are normal names but im just a bit deaf so my ears hear things like marceenashiwee when they're asking for marcia duffy)and went on to terrorise a few more nurses aw :)

i am aware i keep raving abt things like this ugh i'm sorry!!!! things like these make me happy. not clubbing(stella im inspired by you!!) not anything else. =) but i know im at risk of sounding like pollyana who btw annoys the crap out of me - it's this book abt a crazy girl who's so optimistic i want to reach into the book and slap the crap out of her i actually hurrahed when she broke her leg, HA serves her right!

ok shower then study.

remember, be nice to people even if it means taking a minute to smile or say sth friendly. it makes people feel so much happier =) ill be lovely to students i see next time.

LOL.

I'm not sure if anyone's noticed but i NEVER.

NEVER.

NEEEVVEERRR.

use LOL.

not in texts, not in emails, not in my speech, NEVER. cause I rather give the -_- look to express what a normal person would use LOL to express. cause LOL doesnt mean laugh out loud, it means *uh... ok... this is silly...* or something along those lines. right right right?? yesss..

anyway i was reading this in my notes and the first word that popped to mind was LOL. hahahaha so basically the author is going on and on about how it's okay to abort the baby if it's affecting the mother's health even though some pro-life nehnehs will argue that you can't use that to justify murder blablahblah..

and he was trying to put that in context of him needing an expensive live saving operation, saying that if he were to take all our assets to pay for the operation we would probably yell and boil with rage and in the notes he types this out:

It would be very kind of you to give them to me but my right to life does not give you any obligations.....

LOL. LOL LOL LOL.

HAHAHA i'm too free right. okay promise that next post will be more interesting. but you know what i've noticed- people generally like reading blogs that have plenty of pictures of the author behaving like a bimbo. Or talking about how life is bad. Cause everyone likes:

1) Looking at the pictures and going aiya! thank goodness I dont need to try that hard!

2) Looking at the raving and ranting and going phew! i'm not the saddest person on earth!

Or it could just be me. Omg why am i sounding more and more like a narcissitic prick as days go by???? nyeh. don't care.

Can't provide any of the above though sorry :( i'll try though!!!!!!

hahahahhaa

huayshan

uh..

firstly this came about after me reading a lot of random news articles abt education in singapore and this may sound bad but seriously all that crap abt being in elite jcs not mattering is rubbish, people only say that because they can't get into elite jcs. everyone wants to be in elite jcs. it kinda annoys me cause we work hard to get into good schools and people who cannot make it(all due to laziness, people who work hard will ALWAYS do well) whine and whine and WHINE, trying to take away the reward for our hard work to console their bruised egos. NYEHHHH study harder lah complain complain complain.. zzzzz.

*gets eggs smashed into face* hahaha

i have a nice schedule. i study in the lib till it closes (not too late lah, abt 7) and i like it cause there are a couple of regulars and i dont know them personally but its nice having ppl there that i know are working for the same exams cause my kiasu-ness gets pumped up and it makes me work harder. thing is..... once i come home I DONT DO ANY WORK. WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and im very proud cause i'm studying from the learning outcomes. *beams* but i cant rmb much ugh i hope it'll all come back in the exam.

okay lah, need to zz. i've been waking up at 10 everyday, so PROUD!!!!!

Summertime!

Summer's finally here so I can finally relax. Somewhat.

Exams were okay but maybe I could've done more for some papers. At least it's out of the way for now. My exams were really spread out this year, which was quite strange because I'm used to having back to backs. It wasn't really a good thing in some ways because procrastination sets in and it sucks when everyone else is done while you are still slogging away. Either way, at least it's over.

Now that it's summer, I've finally got off my lazy ass to revamp my room! With some help, of course. I'm finally adding in my long awaited sofa, where I can sit to read a book, relax or use the laptop in comfort. I found an amazing two seater from Ikea and it's coming tomorrow! I can't wait. We just put up the cute wall stickers too. I still need to redo the photo wall though, that's kind of a chore because there are so many I want to put up! Yesterday was hell, we cleaned the room in the morning. After 3 hours, 3 bags full of trash and 2 bags full of recylcing papers later, we were finally done. I was already tired. Thereafter, we headed to Ikea and I spent quite a bit! It was fun nonetheless. What a way to enjoy summer! Oh, did I mention a shopping spree the day before? My bank account is crying now!

More pictures of the room once I'm done (:

NO GO SCHOOL NO DO WORK.

if there's one thing i've learnt from the past 2 weeks of studying, it's this:

NO GO SCHOOL

NO DO WORK.

this does not apply if someone is in the house with me.

but like i said...

NO GO SCHOOL

NO DO WORK.

ARGHHH huayshan do some work after this!!! ok i shall.

but i'll entertain everyone for a bit first.

I'm bored. So..............

IF I HAD....

1) Stayed in Malaysia to study

I would be studying in a Malaysian/ Australian university doing anything but what i'm doing now. why? cause i'ld probably break down from the stress of staying with my parents and I'ld probably lack the confidence cause my parents would probably have forbidden me from having a decent social life. I shudder at the thought of not going to my precious sg!!

2) Joined a performing arts cca instead of badminton

I would be more graceful, and I would be a hell lot fatter. and maybe shorter.

3) Not changed my mind about VJ and went on to TJ

I may not have gotten the grades I got, cause Mr Ho was the only reason why I got an A for Lit and I may not be as happy as I was in VJ and we all know unhappiness leads to bad grades. Yes it does. And bad grades=different course.

4) Chose ODAC over kayak

I would have gone through less trauma and I would have been happier I think.. less stress. And of course I would have been friends with a different group of people. But I would not have gotten to known peiying, ruiyi, puiyee and eunice better and that's a thought that makes me shudder too. I hope nobody from kayak sees this cause i'm showing favouritism but I've gone thru things with these 4 that have made our friendships unique and strong.

5) Chosen to do literature instead

I would fail and die. Cause fact is I like it but I'm no good at it compared to people out there. So I would probably fail and end up jobless. Thank you. I've learnt that science is where I belong. It's the one thing that my brain can understand well.

6) Were a boy

um.. i'ld be awesome.. i mean c'mon, people have told me I look like guys that are super goodlooking (i am not even joking, i swear that lots of ppl say i look like guys they know who are hot) and I will dress nicely and be nice to girls. Thank you.

7) Had chosen to spend this time studying.......

I'ld be feeling a lot better about myself right now. HAHAHAA

okay lah time's up.

ta-rah!

My Boyfriend.

I've been over this a million times with everyone that knows me well. Whenever people come over for sleepovers, this is a topic that inevitably comes up. I don't know why.

p/s shutter island spoiler alert!

Hsiwen left today and we had several conversations about this while she was here-and im starting to think about it again, and before you judge me WAITWAITWAIT i was thinking about work first. I was looking at my notes on the treatment of schizophrenia and there was a bit about frontal lobectomies and then i thought about leonardo dicaprio in shutter island and then i thought about my dream the other night where he fell head over heels in love with me(which he shall for real someday) and then i thought about how if i cant hunt him down i should consider having a backup plan.... then TADA!

this may not interest you but these are the 10 things i want in a guy:

1) HANSUM. not hamsup ah dingbats out there, i said HANSUM

2) athletic and must like jogging

3) Smarter than me

4) Eats like King Kong. I need a buffet buddy

5) Must be retarded. not literally. he must laugh(sincerely) when i do the chicken little dance in front of him when we're waiting in line for our buffet.

6) Preferably has some form of artistic-ness in him. music, art, literature anything also can.

7) Has a big nose. Ya that's what I like in a guy. And he must laugh when I tell him about this.

8) DOES NOT HAVE A BAD TEMPER. veryvery important.

9) He must know how to take charge and behave in a mature manner when an occasion calls for it

and............

10) He must MUST MUST get along well with my friends =)

i know i'm being ridiculous. but before you laugh at me........ think about this: if i do get someone who fulfills the above ten things, then

IN YOUR FACEEE!!!!! HAHAHHAHAAHAHAHA

bye bye

a jolly tale of fun, friendship and near-death experiences (:

Okay i'm bored and lonely and lazy and somehow i feel like i can't move on with my (mundane and sad) life until i've put this down in writing so that i won't forget anything.

Tenerife was something. It's definitely the kind of holiday that i like. for 5 days i forgot about work and well.. about everything.

look at this and tell me it can't take your worries away.

(credits go to elizabeth.)
it wasn't just about the scenery, it was about the sheer lack of hustle and stress in the place. it was crazy busy with almost naked(lots of exposed boobies) people walking around increasing their risks of developing cancer but somehow it was just such a happy place, i couldn't help but be at peace and be happy.

it also helped that liz was with me and there were ups and downs but at the end of the day i would just look at the dumbass sleeping/peeling her lips/reading her book/swimming and smile.

and as always, putting two idiots together=lots of crazy events so..

while we were pedal boating we decided to fish random things from the ocean. after picking up a beer can, i saw this and told liz very excitedly that it was a hairclip and that she should pick it up. it was a jellyfish.
this is just a pretty picture. no funny story here.
This paella is for 2 people. crazy!! but yummers :)
By the gorgeous beach =)
the slurpee matches my dress!
Cocktails by the beach.
aw i really like this picture.
My favourite picture. this is beautiful!
Exhausted after parascending.
In my mind: oh shit oh shit OSHIT OSHIT OSHIT
I lay awake half the night before in pain because of my sunburnt body so i had to wear a cardigan to prevent further damage.
Scuba diving! okay first can i just say liz is like no other girl, she is COOL and GUNGHO. we went on single jetskis at first and being a chicken i went very slowly while she sped away racing strangers and we then went on a double jetski and she drove and i now have a butt bruise and two bruises on my face. from bouncing up and down and ramming my face into her shoulder blade.

i couldn't even scream. the water kept spraying into my face and rendered me blind and speechless and i was too busy clinging onto the machine and liz for dear life. she's DAMN cool. i don't know anyone else who would ride a jetski at full speed when they're partially blinded by water and being lifted up and down the seat by a terrified person behind them.

back onto scubadiving. funniest and most thrilling experience i've had so far. but i really like it.

I was terrified at first cause the instructor barely taught us anything in my opinion and when i tumbled into the water I found myself sinking and unable to surface cause my oxygen tank thing was weighing me down. Eventually groped my way to the surface and heard my instructor saying to another guy, "ah it's cause i put the weights in her life jacket, oops!" cause he forgot to inflate my life jacket before i went in HAHA funny now but i thought i was going to die. we got very vague instructions on how to use the mouthpiece as well so i thought i was going to be unable to breathe and well.. die.

I yelled LIZ!! and was planning to say okay let's screw this and just sit on the boat and go home, but according to her she had problems of her own so she ignored my cry for help HAHAHA. i eventually figured it out though and stuck my head underwater to try breathe and i distinctly remember feeling like i was looking into a fishtank with a magnifying glass, it was really pretty.

from then on all went well, i managed to control my breathing and kicked my way around feeling really happy(:

another funny story. i saw the turtle and i was like okay cool stuff, then my instructor let go of me to take pictures(he was holding on to my tank) and so i started kinda spinning out of control and looked like a complete fool trying to stay in the right position while shaking my fist at the man and so i lost sight of the turtle and when he grabbed hold of me again the turtle suddenly reappeared right in front of me- (this close, refer to picture below) which scared the crap out of me and i screamed into my mouthpiece and i swear it glared at me. liz on the other hand wouldn't stop trying to rape the turtle.

all in all, fun trip. am feeling sad now but.. ohwell! life goes on and now that i've penned this down i feel like i can carry on with my regular life tmr. off to school and volunteering in the afternoon!

oh and yes i am extremely burnt, liz peeled part of my face for me while we were waiting to check in and in the flight. the person sitting next to me disappeared after awhile, and we concluded it must be because we looked like lesbians, she must have thought liz was fondling my face or something.
see how miserable i am and how happy she is. nyeh!!

after scubadiving i found a text in my phone from a friend telling me my marks for a repro test and i did reasonably well so i was really happy. I just love feeling like the effort you put in gives results. it motivates me. i have to study hard and not get a resit please!!

okay. huayshan stop thinking abt tenerife, and BACK to normal life tmr!!!

thanks liz.
