Hello, kids from ward 47. :)

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:30:16 GMT

I'm going to pediatric for this coming 12 weeks attachment!
Having 2 weeks of P project in school currently. Boring like shit. Everyone around me was either dozing off or playing games or surfing Facebook on their pdas.
PS: MIA again.

LOOK WHO IS IT!?

michael jackson! :)

my sis is flying off to usa next month and no doubt, this makes me very moody. i can't join her because of the damn attachment.
speaking about my attachment, i'm going to be posted to AH for 6 months.
this whole thing ends on the 25th feb 2010 and i know this is not going to be 2 or 3 weeks but 6 months instead. but seriously people, whats the point of grumbling (mind you, non-stop) about how long it's going to be especially since it's still july here. i know it's long but even if you keep grumbling, it's useless because you still have to undergo this whole damn thing so, why not be positive and look at a brighter side?

ps: i think lady gaga is too overrated. everywhere i see, it's always lady gaga. irritated by all these advertisements. i don't appreciate her songs at all.

expected, my stamina is freaking pathetic. i'm preparing to fail my napfa. and can you imagine my sis hasn't had any idea that poly students have napfa? she thought it was kinda stupid when we don't have PE lessons so what for we have to take napfa, especially when we haven't train for ages. as for the guys, i can understand but girls. bleah.

i got back all the results. i've got a D for my clinical trial! nothing to be upset about because i thought the paper was tough and i'm glad enough to secure a pass for this module. at least i don't have to attend the remedial and retake the paper.
surprisingly, i thought i did quite well for the interview (to me la) provided that i did really screw all the talking on that day. people who know me well enough know that i'm not good at this kind of speech stuff and i don't usually talk much with someone i don't really know that well. (unless to those whom i'm really close to).

and look at what i found from one of my junior's facebook account.

if i'm not wrong, it was taken when i was in sec 2. brings back the memory...

crap napfa.

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 06:36:50 GMT

in primary school, i have never failed my running before (1.6km?). timing wasn't that bad too.
BUT, in secondary school, it was totally an opposite way. our school has this high strope which always made me gave up halfway and since then, i have never passed my napfa until there was once i got a silver for it out of nowhere.

3 years after i left secondary school, i never train my running. the only thing that improve my stamina through is burpees which i haven't do this for weeks. actually, i hate running or jogging which explains why my thighs are huge la. i know year 3 students have to do napfa and mine is this coming tuesday. crap. i'm gonna fail it this time round and i know it's gonna be super paiseh to fail napfa.
actually, i'm more worried about shuttle run and incline pull up. even though it takes 5 pull up to pass, it's like a no joke for me okay. my arms are weak like hell. to be more precise, i'm weak at everything that requires physical movement. zzz

i'm going for a jog later with my mom. not really to train but roughly gauge how far i can go. i think it's really pointless to start training when the napfa is just 3 more days because it takes weeks to train your stamina.

ps: for the 1.6km, i meant for the primary school. just in case someone thought i was referring to the secondary school.

havaianas (:

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 12:09:55 GMT

my havaianas flipflop has arrived!
damn it, i should have gotten brazil size 37/38 (i bought 35/36) because according to the size chart the seller provided, it stated that the US size is 7/8 for a brazil size 37/38 and my US size is 5/6 (which is for brazil size 35/36).
i've even measured my feet to ensure that a size 35/36 can fit me (which is 9 and a half inches).
and when i saw the size from my flipflop, it shows that the US size is 4/5. crap. but thank god, it fits me perfectly but i doubt my sis can wear them (update: she couldn't. HAHAHAHA).

speaking about havaianas, the strap of the flipflop the girls gave me during my 19th birthday has came out a month ago. i've been comtempletating between cotton on or haivaianas and i chanced upon this havaianas spree organized by someone. 10 bucks cheaper so yeah why not. besides, it's comfortable.

this is the first time i'm experiencing fast connection speed at my house!(because i connect the modem directly to my laptop instead of going wireless)
the connection speed has been 1Mbps lately and this is getting really fustrating. the fastest it can get is 11Mbps so you can imagine i have to wait for minutes for a page to load. no doubt, our router is going haywire soon.

the amount in my bank account is getting more and more pathetic. i guess i'll try to limit my spending to 100 bucks each month and bank in the remaining 200 bucks into my account to cover up the insurance fee.
so guys, stop saying i'm rich just because my allowance is 300 bucks every months. concessions, foods and textbooks are all included. i admit my handphone bills are paid by my mom currently but well, the amount doesn't exceed 25 bucks which is still alright. i'm not those sms freak. and for your information, i paid most of the stuffs i own.
don't ask why i bought the insurance from my sis. besides supporting my sis, i thought insurance isn't that bad since it's gonna help me so much in the future (though i always complained here and there).

eat, shop, sun tan.

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 16:14:11 GMT

shopped with rei at bugis few days ago. it was purely window shopping on that day although i was quite tempted to get the shirts from dorothy perkins.
i can't believe nowadays the normal standard price for taking neoprints can cost 11 bucks.
obviously we didn't take.

rei is flying off to taiwan tomorrow. i'm sure you will have an extremely fun time in taiwan.
seeing friends going oversea during holidays just give me an urge to fly over to usa. my sis is going there in sept which is during my attachment. crap. :(

i had a best tanning session yesterday at siloso beach with peishi, layching and vanessa. initial decision was actually at palawan beach but we kinda lost our way and found ourselves at siloso instead.

we're having our picnic at marina barrage on thursday. :)

ever since i bought my fujifilm camera, i don't have to edit the photos (brightness and contrast) like how i used to which is truely amazing.
the only downside is that it's too bulky (actually, i don't mind at all).

ka-ching. ka-ching.

DIY pizza

Sun, 21 Jun 2009 13:04:35 GMT

we left with half a bag of mozzarella cheese from the pasta we made few months ago and there, we decided to make pizza this time round. :)

my personal pan pizza.
without capsicum and pineapple. it taste really weird with pineapples. i just think sweet doesn't go well with the pizza.

choo choo train, chugging down the track~

i've finally found 'rape of nanking'!

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:34:16 GMT

and weird enough, whenever i decided to pamper myself by shopping for clothes, i will always end up getting nothing or just one top or shorts. or whenever i'm dead broke, somethings always caught my eyes when my intention was only window shopping.

afternoon was spent with peishi at vivo city because i reckoned that with forever 21, topshop, pull and bear, esprit, etc.., i might find some pretty clothes.

brought my camera and i'm still pretty noob with the manual setting. gave up and used auto instead.

evening was spent with rei at jurong point and let me say this, it's a huge change over at jurong point. like totally!
oh btw, i was being approached by the prudential people while waiting for rei. you know i hate this kind of survey doing stuffs and i'd rather you just leave me alone.
anyway, like i say about jurong point, this place can replace my usual hangout at orchard.
and see where have we landed ourselves at?

sorry, you can't really see where is it from the picture itself but well, we had dinner at the fake OSAKA!
amazing, isn't it?
i forgot the name of the restaurant but the ramen i had is the best so far.

ps: jas is flying off to bangkok later! enjoy your trip. :)

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 18:48:59 GMT

i've been playing with my camera and here are some of the pictures i took.
learned about the aperture shot and shutter speed.

i'm broke. but i want to shop

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 07:53:31 GMT

no doubt, the pc show alone has made me broke. together with the current great singapore sales, i think it's too hard for me to resist. and furthermore, my 2 weeks holidays are here. crap.
obviously i wouldn't wish to become a couch potato for that whole 2 weeks.

oh btw, zoo, anyone? my mom might be able to get 4 free tickets from her friend.

common tests over!

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:55:13 GMT

conclusion: i'm gonna screw up my clinical trial pretty badly.

headed over to suntec for the pc show with shirley, rei and jasmine. bought a camera
and i just spent another 15 bucks on something that was not for myself but for rei instead but actually, it has got to be my fault. because of me, she can't bring her favourite slippers to taiwan. i'm so sorry, rei!

jas left early which is why she wasn't in any of the photos.

2 weeks holidays are here. (:
whats your plan?
mine is really simple.

-rewatch grey's anatomy
-rewatch those animes that my bro bought
-borrow more books from the library
-shopping (:

interview and nsl practice test

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 08:08:40 GMT

what do you do with the band-aid besides using them to protect the wound? they can come in handy when you are wearing your new shoes. new shoes can bite your foot like mad! duh, they are the one which can result your foot with lots of blisters.

yes, band-aid was my life saver yesterday! i used them to protect my foot from getting all the bites. at least it helped a bit. :)
oh, forget about my interview and practical test. it was a disaster!
i screwed up both of them.

oh and carrying a 4.5kg of bag around the school was horrible. -___-

mcp is freaking gross.

Thu, 28 May 2009 14:47:17 GMT

crap shit. whenever dishes were not washed, i'll always be the one who got scolded by my mom.
i mean for freaking sake, why must i always be the one who do the washing? my dad and my bro have hands and they can perfectly do those simple tiny task themselves.
even if you want me to wash, please freaking clear away the food scraps left behind. i'm not your freaking filipino maid who has to do everything for you all. washing your own plate (mind you, just ONE freaking plate) can take you how long? or even, clearing the food scraps can take you how long!? less than 5 seconds!
and btw mom, i don't see why the hell you should leave out the other 2 men when it comes to scolding.

Wed, 27 May 2009 10:43:29 GMT

这几天的天气非常热！我快受不了啦！
这几天却实是有点忙啦，再加上考试也要到了还有也是有点懒就没这个心情想blog.
今天番开了书，原本想写notes可是写到一半，用功的状态也慢慢消矢。

欣宜，要努力啊！！！

很不幸的是，除了nsl，其它的科目我到现在都还没读。-__-
超烂的吧！？
我是那种临时抱佛脚的人（err, 我不懂是哪个字啦！想信你们应该忍得出我的意识吧！）

对了，假期要到了！:D
一个要去曼谷而另一个会去台湾，超爽的啦！我也想出国。。。
没关系，i shall work towards my goal！那就是我的graduation trip。要省钱。。。
没想到现在的机票往美国会是那么贵！希望价钱会跌。不然的话，我想我的计划应该会被ruined。

ps: 哈！其实用华文来blog也是满不错的嘛。我觉得还满好玩的。

Jansson's Temptation

Ingredients
.5-6 potatoes
.2 onions, thinly sliced
.10 anchovy fillets 'ANSJOVIS'
.2 tbsps butter of margarine
.2-3 dl double cream

Procedure
-peel the potatoes and cut them into matchstick-sized strips.
-put them in cold water
-saute the onions gently in the butter until they are golder brown
-open the time of anchovies, reserving the liquid
-dry the potatoes and put alternate layers of potato, anchovy and onion in a greased, oven-proof dish, beginning and ending with a layer of potato
-pour on about half the cream and add a few knobs of butter
-heat in a medium oven (200-225oC) for about 45 mins
-after it has browned nicely, add more cream and, iff preferred, a little of the anchovy liquid from time to time

i shall do it probably this or next week since i've already bought the anchovy at ikea today. (yeah, shall bring some to school to let some of my buddies try)

ikea ftw!

Sun, 10 May 2009 06:09:55 GMT

ikea is one of my favourite shopping mall.
i can't believe we spent like 5 hours at ikea yesterday. it always make me feel happy when i see their furnitures. i can't believe i hated that place so much when i was a kid. we will always went with my neighbour and they could spend like hours and hours at ikea. but now, i totally love it. :)
mom's intention was actually to get new curtains for our rooms and whatever designs we chose, they don't have enough for even just 1 room. her budget was actually as cheapest as possible (7 bucks per metre) but ended up all the designs are either too flowery or the colours are all dark or white (my mom doesn't go for the design but instead, last longing. she thought black can attract lots of mosquito and white can attract dirts easily). guess what, we bought this really nice one at 12 bucks per metre. :D simple design but yet nice.

oh, we bought quilts too. super comfy. and we've already decided which beds we are going to purchase. and i've already decided on the colour for my wall. smokey gray. hopefully i'd be able to get the colour i want.
thinking of this just kind of makes me feel excited. :D

i'm going to ikea on wed again but with rei this time round. hah. swedish meatball yet again! hahahaa!

ps: i intended to go to sim lim square yesterday and today but they closed on public holiday and sunday! looks like i'll have to head to sim lim after my lesson tomorrow. :/

Fri, 08 May 2009 14:50:24 GMT

deleted.

sorry but my brain wasn't working when i wrote this stuff.

Fri, 08 May 2009 06:37:48 GMT

thank god, weekend is finally here.
ikea tomorrow. swedish meatballs. *drool*

but i have to return back to sim lim to do an exchange for my laptop adaptor. my bro bought the wrong one. oh, did i mention that i've been using my sis's soon-to-be faulty laptop lately?

my bro is going to move to his new house soon and i'm going to have his room. seriously, like finally!
i'm thinking of what colour my wall shall be since my mom is like going to repaint the walls in around august.
my sis wanted a lavender colour for her room (which is also mine currently) but i want something that is not too gu niang for my own room.
too girly is seriously gross. princess-like room is puke.
oh and i hate the built-in furniture at my bro's room so i want something that can match the colour of those furnitures (and thats really tough). don't know why my dad chose some ugly furnitures in the past. he bought this dining table (not even nice) which costs like 2k -3k which actually none of us use it because our meals all along are at the living room except reunion dinners or some special occasions. so now our dining table is currently filled with our notes and books. you tell me waste or not!?

i want to get a new bed along with nice bedsheet and an extra comfy quilt but right now, i'm broke. like seriously broke because the insurance i bought (from my sis. more like being forced :X) will deduct every 200 from my bank montly.
oh well, shall look out for something nice tomorrow at ikea.

OH, i found a hula hoop (bought like 10 years ago!?) in the storeroom. shall do some exercise now.

hello, ku ku :)

What is your Cute Japanese Name?

Belinda just took the What is your Cute Japanese Name?.

belinda quek xin yi, Your cute japanese name is Berinde Kueku Kin Ii

crap shit! HAHAAHA!
apparently, quek is kueku in jap which exactly doesn't sound jap to me. it sounds more like a birdy to me. ku ku, ku ku.

anyway, i'm having my holiday tomorrow. a self declare one, to be more precise. :)
ct is like a waste of time. seriously.

and seriously, i have no idea why so many people will want to choose their prcp in school instead of the hospital. i can't imagine myself doing nursing skills on mannequins instead of like real patients. it's gonna be a big difference once you start working at the hospital as an official staff nurse. i'd rather suffer in the hospital during my prcp. at least i get to learn some proper things. don't tell me mannequin and real human being are like the same.

Sat, 02 May 2009 13:53:22 GMT

i have the sudden urge to do some shopping now. update my wardrobe, you know.
mom was doing her hair at vincent's salon and i decided to tag along to change a new hairstyle cos i'm quite sick of the usual one i always had. ever since my failure short bob hair, i swore i will just keep my hair simple.
not much changes this time round, i gave straight bangs a go and it turned out to be real kiddo for me.
but well, i guess i like it very much. thank god.

Fri, 01 May 2009 14:04:49 GMT

hello
sentosa, anyone?
sun-tanning, anyone?
i'm dying to do some shopping now btw. so, anyone? it's time to pamper myself. :)

再见了, hongkong.

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 08:55:32 GMT

since i've already updated day 4, i might as well continue with day 5. furthermore, it's gonna be a short entry since we didn't really do much on that day.

we didn't have to visit to any hospitals or universities so, instead of spending our morning in the hotel, we (my gang) went to wong tai sing temple.i bet all the students were still sleeping.

since we still had the time, we proceeded on to the supermarket in a nearby shopping mall to do our last shopping. rei and i wanted to check out the books in the bookstore but bleah, they don't have a proper bookstore at all. so, ended up we went to a kiosk for some magazines while the rest headed over to the supermarket. there, i spent on some crappy stuffs again. hongkong version of doraemon comics. :D
oh, and before we left the place, i had to rush to a nearby 7 eleven to get my curry fishball which was in a packet form (disappointing. those from the streets were so much nicer!).

we split up into 2 groups and took a cab back to our hotel. none of us had the hotel card (with the address) with us cos we gave it to gale who wanted to leave early and we only know the english name of our hotel. so you can somehow guess there was quite a miscommunication (i guess he only knows a little bit of mandarin) between the taxis driver and us. he drove us to a wrong place. instead of kowloon which we actually indicated that before we boarded the taxis, he drove us to tsim sha tsui. -____-
to make matter worst, we were in a rush that time cos we had to leave the hotel at 10am. thank god, we called our tour guide to talk to the driver.

our flight was 2pm. the rest decided to check in while rei and i wanted to explore around. we still left with like a few hundreds dollars! actually, i was left with only a hundred and wanted to spend it all instead of brining back to singapore.
so, the last few stuffs i bought before i boarded the plane were crap stuffs yet again. things i bought at the airport were almond cookie (for my mom, had a hard time searching for that during my past few days in hongkong!), comic which i don't really understand the storyline at all and some chocolates.

my hongkong trip was quite a memorable one. i love my roommates and obviously, the gang i hanged out with during the trip.

my roommates!

and lastly,

so there you go!
goodbye, hongkong. :)

hongkong part 4

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 17:39:42 GMT

i had my 3 hours nap just now and this should explain why i'm here, updating about my day 4 in hongkong.
my lesson starts at 12pm tomorrow anyway and i'm going to the school for just 1 hour tutorial. how shiok~

yes, part 4 is finally here! actually, i've already done editing the photos, just that laziness always got the better of me. i've even suggested nages to provide the details in her blog while i provide all the edited photos in my blog.
her blog is really wordy with no pictures at all! while mine, well... you can actually see for yourself.

ANYWAY, if i remember correctly, our first visit on the third day was queen mary hospital. don't ask me why almost all the hospitals we visited start with the word QUEEN.
i didn't really bother to take photos of the hospital.
lunch was at this jumbo restaurant.

and guys, please control yourself incase anyone starts to drool. looking at the photo kind of makes me have a sudden huge craving over their dimsums.

and it wasn't like a buffet where you can order like nobody business. i shared the foods with nages and karena and can you imagine how we fought over the extra egg tart and hagau!?

our next stop was at ocean's park. surprisingly, none of the students chose disneyland. i guess part of the reason was because of the price (which is like 350hkd! that is 70sgd!) and the limited rides which actually 3/4 are family rides. i absolutely won't mind if i'll have to pay more in the states or japan.
our initial decision was actually macau. the price had stopped us from going in the end. actually, i wasn't really that interested in ocean's park. main reason was because i've been to there like twice and there wasn't anything much to see except the dolphins.
and obviously you can't compare the rides here with USA or japan but they are already so much better than the pathetic rides in singapore.

we took this ride 'tower' (whatever it called) to look at the scenery but the moment we were out, jiajia was feeling all nausea already. HAHAHAHA
she and rei even dared to take rollar coaster after so much persuasion from the rest. you can visual jiajia's face when she came out from the ride. they looked totally pale!

dolphin's show was next and my digital camera had to play a prank on me. it was fully charged in the morning and well, it died on me when i wanted to take pictures of those dolphins and sealions. what the shit. and my handphone can't take those great shots for nuts. i guess i took too much photos during the rides on the boat to the jumbo restaurant earlier on that day.

we didn't return back to the hotel for a rest but instead, we proceeded on for our shopping session at fa yuen street ( AGAIN! ) but this time around, at different area.

we split up in smaller groups and that night was spent with nages and jiajia.
none of the clothes suit me and i was totally bored but i did manage to get some crappy and cute stuffs for myself.
and a shorts. i think we were the only ones who didn't manage to buy a lot. nages ran out of money and jiajia wanted to save. me? i couldn't find anything that i like. :(

because this was going to be our last day (our flight on the 5th day was in the afternoon), we actually thought of going to the lounge for wine session but we decided to forgo this and instead, had a small gathering at our hotel room instead (with jasmine, rei, shirley, gale, nages, jiajia, karena and amy).
did i mention that i hate to share a bed with someone? but the 4th day night was quite uncomfortable for me because jasmine, shirley and karena came to join us instead (they had their own room lo!) and i had to share my bed with shirley and karena. we actually thought they came to join us for chatting session but instead, they came to our room for a sleep! bleah~

hmmm, and before i end this post. i shall post these photos up.

left: rei's. right: nages's (apparently, she was the one who bought more than us. like really A LOT!)

left: mine. right: gale's

alright. i have to sleep. goodnight people.

ps: i shall wear my bruce lee tee to school tomorrow. :X
