Greetings my friends.
Its my first off day since the last examination paper (on tues), which was followed by work till 9pm on Wed and Thurs.
It was nice sleeping in till 11, then i started sulking (literally). Initial plans for the afternoon doing shopping/lunching were foiled when dd had to stay on in the office.
So i sat down, right here, thinking.. What do i have, what do i need?
I have an urge to go shopping for a bag, I need (money, of cause) to excuse dd from shopping cause of his knee injury.
I have a hint of disappointment cause its been way too long since i had some time away from routine and material enjoyment, I need to look at the situation from a different perspective; i cannot be selfish.
And most importantly,
I have a man who has piles of work to be done at the office; i need to be understanding.
So i have 2 choices; i can sit here, wallow in self pity, pout till my orbicularis oris muscles become fatigue. Or head out on my own, like i always do.
At this very point, dd called from the office! He'll be leaving the office at 3ish and we'll be heading to the IT Mall! I can get an errand done (the spoilt speakers), and RCity has some of my usual shopping outlets! AND.. We'll be able to spend time together, again!
Ok there's MSquare, RCity, STec, what else huh? PenPlaza? And coolbean shophouses at SeahSt!
I shall be a good girl and refrain from venturing all over the CBD. RCity should quench my shopping thirst.
So its happy friday!
Erm. Should i wear a dress. Or go in my Pj's like a resident from TheRafHotel?

Hooray! Exams are finally over. Nevermind the results. They'll be out on 4th December.
Pardon my choice of words, but i'm so f.king elated semester one is over.
Dinner celebration tonight; im so gonna eat BEEF.
There're so many practical things to do, like booking the Sg Flyer cause mum sponsored us tickets, getting back into shape by exercising, renewing the practising certificate, settling outstanding bills, retrieving my internet banking user name and password, tidying my lecture notes, put up law textbook and notes for resale, clearing out the closet of old clothes, cleaning dust off the fan, air-con filter, window grill and blinds, revising the periodontal chart at work; basically, getting my life back into order.
Then there're things that satisfy the sloth in all of us, like doing some window shopping just to keep my fashion sense sane, laze the day away doing nothing productive/fruitful, be a couch potatoe (catching stupidly funny sitcoms on tv5, my favourite being TheN00se)
Work was hell loada shit on Wed, for i had an onset of allergic rhinitis. Even after taking 2 different kinds of antihistamines (ya, overdoes), my nose went on dripping like a tap and i had no control over multiple (like.. >5 ah choos at a time?) sneezes. I had to place wads of tissue paper between my nostrils and the face mask to act like a mucus shield.
Boss sang me part of a song, tittled, Ruldoph The Red Nose Reindeer.
Then there was this kid with an incredible imagination and magnification of pain. I got so frustrated coaxing her to do scaling, she got away with a polishing and a referral to the pedodontist. The only good that came out from the session with her was, my nose stopped dripping for awhile. For she was seated high and 90% upright, such that i was standing infront of her and my head neednt bend down.
Must be due to the environment in the dental office, coupled with a lower immune system from lack of sleep. I'm considering whether to go for Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery after payment of my bond or not. I think it'd be a good investment. It really affects my work performance.
I dont need such episodes of running nose to tell me that health is wealth. I get the drift, Mother Nature.
To top everything off, my 2months old x-m!n! speakers are spoilt. :( I think there's a one year warranty.
Post work dinner and a get-together session with K&C was great, as usual. We had a good near 3hrs of heart to heart talk and exchange of hot juicy news. Didnt take photos for i was the red nose reign dear and C started tearing after some talk. The only cam whore was K, who wanted to capture C's baboon-ass crying face so she'll look prettier in the photo. Hahahaha. Ya la, my friend very strange.
The cab fare home was swift and $6! Skipped the midnight charge-happiness! And come 11th/12th of Novemeber, the 30cents diesel charge will be levied off.
Its Thursday, 1238pm now, and im suffering from inertia effect to go to work. Looking forward to dinner tonight with EB.
Oh yes, that man bought me 2 sports bra, in fashion fuchsia and maya blue, so that i'd be spared from wires while dining near his place. Or is it a hint that i need to start an exercise regime. Haha.
DS Lite&other parts finally sold. Yayyy yayyy!

Some random snippets.
I'm uber glad im able to sell of my DSLite i bought bout a year back; going into the funds for my next tattoo. Passing it on to an ex poly mate, now collegues in the same field. I lost bout $50%, but it beats getting nothing at all. Its barely touched (after the initial 2 week hype) cept for weekly-fortnightly maintenance.
Just returned home from work at 5+pm; granny was at my place. She stayed overyesterday last night, questioned my whereabouts (hello, mum doesnt even question me!) and went on and on bout some issues of life; which i wasnt very keen on listening but heard nonetheless. My beautifully arched eye brows caught her attention. Tried it on her and i thought she had no need for an eye brow pencil; a brush and powder+highlighter would do her just fine. However, as with all old folks, who have gotten used to the idea of using (only) an eye brow pencil, was adamant bout its need. See, she's much fairer than i am, hair redder mine, and using a pencil (that i use) just wont do! Well, suits her if she wants to look like a wayang doll.
All i wanted after a long day at work was shower nap and study.
Good lord, save moi!
Its Sunday and i'm getting quite stressed up over Comm Law. There's too much to read and i cant recall much of what i read(ed). I hate to say this but 'i just want to scrape'. Sighs.
The effort i put in during the mid-semester test is/has going/gone down the long kang.
And the wayang show downstairs is making a din. No idea what procession's going on.
Mum said, 'go over and study la'. I wish, but not tonight. I miss Ellice.
ItsDeepavali a public holiday and i've got to bury myself in insanely boring English law. Shit.
But it's alright. 1.5 more days and i'm gonna have 2 months of pure work and play days. Hooray!
I want to exercise, meet friends for long lazy coffee sessions, throw pack clean, and be a sloth.
*Inserted post dinner, 9pm.
Does it matter whether i'm still part of the stat board or not? I doubt.
Doubt i'd be in purple anytime soon even if i had stayed on. My clinical scrubs are somewhat like what the Purples are wearing; Wine being a pleasing colour aside, i guess there's this sub-concious part of me screaming, 'freedom reign!' Not that i'm complaining bout what i used to do. It's totally fine since other non clinical duties like ordering stock, being a receptionist, cleaning, etc. are part of the job scope. It's just me. I want to do what a clinician is trained to do. I want to take my time and manja little children. I want to have space to educate the public about their individual needs. I dont want to drill and fill like there's no tomorrow, worst, to plug in mercury fillings knowing that they do no good, and get happy when excess mercury surfaces on the top. Actually, amalgam fillings is a nice material to work with. The working time is so long, saliva doesnt affect adherence, and once locked into the cavity, flushes beautifully against the walls and that makes me happy-i cant deny. Anyway. I'd probably shut myself away from him right after the D!ve Fest, if i was still in the stat board.
I have no concerns bout our age differences which some people call a gap. I finally know what chemistry, as in interaction of characters, is. That man is my boyfriend, my next best friend, my listening ear, my encouragement, my patient, my cook and the maid. And the people i'd have an affair with is the various facets of hissplit awesome personality.
Or race issues? Whoever says that things would work out chinese-chinese? Or at least, my parents didn't. I want a happy marriage, even if it means having to sacrifice sleep time to talk thingsmake out (just to add spice to my very boring speech), living a frugal life, doing grocery shopping alone, etc. Anything but planning for kids and/or giving up my job.
Even mum had qualms bout me being with him. She was looking at things from his perspective, not mine. (How unfair.) But not anymore. Over her birthday dinner, she see that we clique really well, and he gets along well with Ellice.
So all of you can say anything you want to say bout us. You can judge or laugh at me-i don't care, really. Don't be cynical, for your own good-what goes around comes around, some call that karma.
What matters is that we're happy, at least for now. And i hope this journey knows no end.
p.s. gave the blog a facelit; it's been black and white for 2 years, since the break up with Cws. i think i really am happiee jolliee candiee. *ya ya ya im a ninnie. Ninny i mean.

Morning Earthlings.
I miss my poly mates. I miss the post exam discussion everyone shared.
Im not enjoying uni life, the social part at least. Go into exam hall alone, come out alone. Oh at least there's a discussion with a classmate(not sure if 'friend' here is appropriate) over the net.
It's hard to imagine me saying this, but it's not fun attending lectures without doing anything naughty once in awhile. Naughty doesnt mean skipping lectures anymore (dates back to July 2004, uh huh fug sai). I cant imagine doing anything outrageous or naughty now-im a loner and a saint. Any ideas? Like dressing up for school? Joker, french maid, vampire, high school girl.. Oh i know. I can dress up as a
bus driver..
Or do The Medusa..
Or beOprah opera singer for a day..
Or easy peasy, be a hedge pee bee nurse!
Right in my wardrobe, my dream Halloween costume and the fantasy of ALL men.
Praise to god.
You really think i dare to wear that meh? Maybe if i alter it right up till my butt cheeks, don fishnet stockings and patent leather high boots la. And not forget to wear a MASK.
Ahhahahahaha. 7am and i'm still online. Gonna pang sai and start muggin'!
Happy Diwali, my love.

One More To Go
Hello loves,
I just returned from an examination and long lunch with dad&sis.
Had wanted to get up early and do last minute revisions, but being tucked under the covers this chilly morning got the better of me.
I had to cab to school cause dad overslept and didnt want to risk me being late for the paper. Thankful for clear traffic despite a rainy morning.
Ironically, the thought of going for an examination's quite exciting, for the last i had was more than a year ago.
Vividly remember the gruelling late nights early morning study sessions for Den+al Hyg!ene paper, accumulating sleep debts, glasses of red bull drowned in ice cubes, staring at the exam questions trying real hard to recall bits of information, leaving the hall before the exam ended after a desperate attempt squeezing out passages of nonsensical answers, etc.
Those days are over, at least for preparations for Business Statistics. I had my fair share of sleep and net time, and during the paper, was fighting against time substituting numbers into the formula. There were only few things to remember; most of it being standard answers that would probably appear in PartB of the paper.
I'm so glad half of the battle is over, with Commercial Law to worry about. I've not started at all, and it really worries me though it's an open book test. The thing with open book test is being able to pick out points from the case and apply it
Then i tell myself, there's no point in worrying; you've just gotta start somewhere.
So here i am, 4.14pm and still lazing the afternoon away. Better start somewhere; attending a birthday party tonight!
LadyBoss just called, my work schedule's gonna be reshuffled for the Nov Dec.
At which i dont mind, though i now have (one) more commitment(s). *Whisper: EB's the most understanding man, right?
Moreover, TheClinic has been very giving in my schedule on days i have lectures.
Well, life's like that; give and take.
Had this sudden thought while reading, 'a good friend is one who doesnt blaspheme you, or have idle talk with others though it doesnt hurt you.'
Strange.

Life's Like That
My Wednesday At Work In Retrospect
The 3year old was tearing in fear as she entered. As i stooped to her level, she gave me a hug as i reassured her.
That feeling is indescribable, for someone who doesn't fancy little children.
And the compliments from her mother. :)
A family who were 40mins late for their appointment, who kept asking how long they'd have to wait, who's lil angel ended up in immense psychological pain after local infiltration, was prompted return for another attempt but refused causing stressful overruns, ended up wailing and not getting constructive treatment done.
Who caused the next patient to wait for almost an hour (this stresses me!), who meowed at the front desk but eventually returned. Thank god she was forgiving; or were the staff and i tactful.
I learnt to take a deep breath and move on, without carrying a baggage displaying ill professionalism to the next case.
The fair shair of caffeine/whatever stains, splatter from the prophyjet and fatigued hands and lower back.
Had a drink with some friends post work. In my 1/2 U; t shirt and scrubs pants. I had wanted to head home for a good rest, but the company was too hard to resist. Moreover, its' been ages since we met up. They gave me a pair of uber cute toe socks!
Sharing all these with my EB when my best friend called for company while going out for a puff.
I forgot what we talked about, but it was nice being the subtly vulgar real me. Got so excited after the 8mins call, the conversation with EB took a different path; was all giggly, loud and happy.
Kaya toast and teh peng siew dai for breakfast is yummy!
Just received good news from EB, who went for a medical appointment regarding his right knee. No surgery needed! Yayy! Which means.. no knives no anaesthesia no risk, eau naturale bodily healing, no need to drive (him), no need to help with housework, no need to pamper him upsized. EVEN MORE HAPPINESS FOR ME AITE!
*study break time, for the nth time. Lol.
CN just called; time check:4.47pm.
Cant wait for Fugs gathering thou we bitch bout the same o' issues. Organiser who's still in the ghar-ment sector, please spare a thought for our bond-break,broken,broke pockets.

Greyish Daze
I miss \/\/eisheng's parents, occassionally. But i feel too ashamed to drop by for a visit. Im no longer on talking terms with their son, and i dont think i deserve their welcome.
We spent a good 4 years together; and i cant recall much of it.
Was there love, i began to question myself. Or is it just me; i forget memories too easily. Rather, how can we define love?
Maybe he'll reappear during the last few moments of my flashbacks when i pass on- well, who knows.
I wish i can thank him for the good 4 years we spent together, going to places, trying out new stuff, etc.
I wish he'd know that there was no cheating; we were pure, but somehow it died. Or maybe i changed. Maybe we changed. Maybe either of us couldn't adapt to the change.
I wish i can thank him for helping me during my O level days-he changed my destiny.
On social networking accounts, i still see the same person i used to cherish and love. The guitar, the thick eyebrows, the metrosexual fashion sense, the wide smile. The difference is, that smile is no longer gonna be at me, for me. Tunes from the guit are no longer gonna ring for me.
Its been more than a year since we broke up; let all these be bygones.
I hope he finds someone who loves him for the person he really is; and not because of his future prospects. He is a family man, an exceptional gentleman; albeit a little hot tempered.
I hope Aunty and Uncle are doing better than never, enjoying their pre/retirement years in blessed health and joy.
On my side, i dated a variety of men after the break up and i'm not ashamed i did. Only after, did i know what's good for me, who are the decepticons, who left me in the lurch, what it felt like to not be myself, how superficial it was to dress up all prim and proper just for a drink in town, etc.
Things are changing for me, too fast. But im ready to embrace this change.
Its funny how times flies, how i finally broke my bond for another experience, how i am committed to a man now, how i can finally accept the idea of living with another being i've not seen the past 21 years of my life. Sometimes i question myself, how did i make it thus far, what did i do to deserve all these.
But i guess its just how life has its way of working things out, even in the dimmest moments. Its just about holding on until the sun shines again.
Now i see my rainbow.

And a new dress to wear on my birthday!
Actually.. i dont need any of the above material goods.. I get by without them.
I want my friends and family members to be happy and healthy. I want to do well at school. I want financial intelligence. I want my marriage to work out, in future.
At baseline, i want a place in Dentistry. Sighs.
Anyways, marriage is akin to one of life's milestone. And my friend's proposing with a 1.02 pointer rock. (JUST THE RIGHT SIZE DUDE!)
And im sincerely happy for him. We could had hit off, but time wasnt on our side.
I'm glad he found his soul partner, and maybe, i've found mine too. Only time will tell.
Trace was so sweet to send this in the midst of preparing for her examinations, 'Happy one month to the both of you. Glad you guys found and love each other. No replies needed, just smile and cherish each other. ..'
At which came shocking; we didnt even realise. Moreover, everythings happening like a lightning bolt.
i heart this woman!
There's this group of friends in my life i've know for a good 9 years, yeah, since secondary one. We had (on off) moments of togetherness; i disappeared, somehow. Magically, i find my way back to a bond they share.
They are an awesome bunch of fun and joy. They are not perfect people; no one is.
This 21st, i'm gonna have dinner with them at Shav!lla. One of the boy's gonna cook, and we're there to support. This boy and i had our ups and downs, and i thought we'll never be on friendly talking terms again. But i was (just) proven wrong when he invited me, personally, to a dinner with the rest. I find it amazing how everything piece up in the end.
I cant wait to get exams over and done with. Its been too long since i had a saturday free of agenda; there was school to attend, errands to run, etc. I want to .. Sleep the morning and afternoon away-ya, the kind you wake up feeling like shit cause you feel you've wasted the entire day. Bitch bout life over coffee with some friends. Get on the Sg Flyer with sis and EB. Spend a day in JB having brunch, ice cream and coffee, catch a show and return to Sg as pirates. Laze the day away with The Loved One and probably(highly unlikely) help out in some household chores. Get back to the Tango routine; learn a new dance. Be a blessing to the less fortunate. Make plans for my uber mini scale birthday gathering. Attend Ric's early birthday celebration.

Actually.. i dont need any of the above material goods.. I get by without them.
I want my friends and family members to be happy and healthy. I want to do well at school. I want financial intelligence. I want my marriage to work out, in future.
At baseline, i want a place in Dentistry. Sighs.
Anyways, marriage is akin to one of life's milestone. And my friend's proposing with a 1.02 pointer rock. (JUST THE RIGHT SIZE DUDE!)
And im sincerely happy for him. We could had hit off, but time wasnt on our side.
I'm glad he found his soul partner, and maybe, i've found mine too. Only time will tell.
Trace was so sweet to send this in the midst of preparing for her examinations, 'Happy one month to the both of you. Glad you guys found and love each other. No replies needed, just smile and cherish each other. ..'
At which came shocking; we didnt even realise. Moreover, everythings happening like a lightning bolt.
i heart this woman!
There's this group of friends in my life i've know for a good 9 years, yeah, since secondary one. We had (on off) moments of togetherness; i disappeared, somehow. Magically, i find my way back to a bond they share.
They are an awesome bunch of fun and joy. They are not perfect people; no one is.
This 21st, i'm gonna have dinner with them at Shav!lla. One of the boy's gonna cook, and we're there to support. This boy and i had our ups and downs, and i thought we'll never be on friendly talking terms again. But i was (just) proven wrong when he invited me, personally, to a dinner with the rest. I find it amazing how everything piece up in the end.
I cant wait to get exams over and done with. Its been too long since i had a saturday free of agenda; there was school to attend, errands to run, etc. I want to .. Sleep the morning and afternoon away-ya, the kind you wake up feeling like shit cause you feel you've wasted the entire day. Bitch bout life over coffee with some friends. Get on the Sg Flyer with sis and EB. Spend a day in JB having brunch, ice cream and coffee, catch a show and return to Sg as pirates. Laze the day away with The Loved One and probably(highly unlikely) help out in some household chores. Get back to the Tango routine; learn a new dance. Be a blessing to the less fortunate. Make plans for my uber mini scale birthday gathering. Attend Ric's early birthday celebration.

Some random snippets..
While studying, a flash of my next body art (read: tattoo) design came to mind!
Gonna ponder over it for some weeks, maybe months. Big scale project y' know!
Been itching for a dental mission trip. Its tiring business but it brings great joy and fulfilment.
Was looking at old photos and it brought back many memories. Bitter sweet.
Your Highness butt is _______ having sat on the wooden chair without a cushion for too long.
Sighs. Gotta renew practising cert by Nov 08..
I'm gonna (most likely) sign up for Tango3 in the midst of exams. 24th morning exam, 24th evening 1st lesson! But on the other hand, i've been out of the Tango scene for a month and counting! How now brown cow.
Surprised mylove with a gift, at which he was pleasantly surprised.
I realised, that as much as we should work within our bugets, we shouldnt give someone something that doesnt cost us anything.
In a relationship, i think it's important to respect each other's personal space; giving ourselves time to hang out with our friends and be with the family. Anyone can leave and abandon us, but it is the family who we eventually go back to, friends whom we find support and comfort in, etc. And i guess mylove and i balanced that well. I guess most of you must be facing some form of neglect from me, apologies on my part, but i really am not 24/7/365 with mylove. I've been working, settling some personal issues and preparing for my exams. Oh boy, speaking of which, I really am way behind planned exam study schedule. Anyways.
I like it that we are courteous and enjoy serving each other. No pun intended. I meant a simple 'thank you darling', 'i appreciate you' and little gestures like pouring a glass of water, placing the flipflops on the shoe rack, tooth-paste.ing the toothbrush, doing the dishes, preparing yogurt and fruits, etc. I'm grateful that he takes the effort to wake earlier/pay ERP to have a quickie (breakfast@my area's market lah!) before going to work.
And i think the foundation of our relationship lies in communication. I cant stress enough how much we talk bout our days' happenings and issues bothering us, track our days with each other in a log book and address issues/words that the other did/said that hurt our feelings.
To top everything off, he gets along well with my sister and my best friend. They are important people in my life, and they have to approve of who i am with/what i am doing. I get along well with his collegue(s) too; we always laugh ourselves silly while out with them.
I can be tired from running errands, work and studying but am pampered. I want to remain understanding, dependable yet independent and erm, loyal.
After an ordeal, we've spend countless joyful moments together in each others' company. It's been an awesome ride that we hope knows no end.
Had prata breakfast with his collegue, Spongebob&g.f. before heading to J.B.. While waiting for the modification of his car, we went jalan jalan, had a hair cut&treatment (mine costed RM150! Quite ex eh!!), pedicure(Spongebob) and lunch@KennyR.Roasters!
They thonged my hair, straight. Straight hair is much more manageable than my frizzy/curly wurlies. I feel like straightening my tresses and chopping them off to chin level. Maybe short hair is the thing to do NOW. Then back to growing my eau natural curly wurlies, all over again. Anyways.
We've been wanting to go for a photoshoot; checked out a studio at J.B. and it's gonna cost us RM1200 for 4 outfits & makeup, 21 pages of 8R photos and an 8R table top photo+frame. Putting that idea off for now.. Topping up bout $380 can fly us both to Perth in Feb 09!

Some people wait for things to happen, it's ok if it doesnt.
Some make things happen, they do whatever it takes to get to where they want to be.
Some dont know whats happening.
Clinic photoshoot shots are out and it's obvious who's photogenic and who's not. I belong to the latter. I look fat in 95% of the photos. My usually doe shaped eyes way underrated, my supposedly angled jawline showing meat, my button nose made even more button. Horrible creature.
I cannot tolerate people who always talk bout themselves. They are the ones who can barely hold a conversation. Nuff said; Utter disgust.
Sg's heading for a recession, or are we already in?
I cannot stand my brother waking late, while the day away, meets his friends, play electronic games, be with his girl; everything but work. But it's consolation that he's doing well at school; at least thats what he says. He tells me he'll start looking for a job 2 weeks later after the rush is over. Thing is, would there be one? Anyways.
Cookie, a pet name for a guy friend, recently spent 100 on CKJeans, 300 on Oakley's and lost 7 in a game of mah-jong. That's the way to go, buddy. Save the economy! :P
I think there's a healthy, silent competition going on between mylove and i in FaceB's W0rd Challenge. HAHA! Or at least thats what im thinking. "Ruth, dont be sensitive larh", is what im trying to drill myself.
Minutes after i wrote the above statement, i realised he challenged me to a game of W.C.!
HOW AUDACIOUS.
Shall score ZERO for the 1st round. Afterall, cannot hurt a man's ego, isnt it?

Song of the moment:
Greetings, my friends.
My day yester was a black gloomy one.
The Company arranged for a photoshoot and lunch@/-\stons. I was so camera shy (really!) and lunch was nothing to rave bout. To top off the generally substandard service, my steak came medium-done when i asked for medium-rare. The blood and elasticity makes all the difference-they don't know.
Arrived on time for medical appointment at RH, and had to wait an hour for a 10mins review. I HATE WAITING without being told for how long. Overruns are common business, i understand. But i could had done more in that hour. I could had met a friend for a chit chat, i could had gone studying at a cafe, i could had made use of my time instead of (aimlessly) browsing fashion magazines. Horrible. And that consult burnt another hole in my already burnt pocket.
But its okay. If money could dissolve a worry, its not too big a problem is it? Afterall, money can be earned and saved again. :)
Exams and time scheduling is freaking me out too. I've got no time left to study thoroughly. Wish i had started earlier-we always say that, and never get down to it nor learn from past experiences, do we?
Situations that attrite me most are arguments. 80% of the time my brother and i get into each other's way, he gets on my nerves. Remaining 20% is bout asking the other to bathe quickly, to purchase/collect/pick up something.
I think its only right to knock before entering a closed door, and not yell back at me (ya lah, i yelled first) for changing in MY room behind CLOSED doors. Fucktard, he is. I think all he needs now is a breakup(seriously), get a job, contribute to the household, finish his education, work and contribute to the household. And so he thinks he deserve more wage, more complicated projects at his previous job, etc. I think he doesnt quite understand what's wrong with him, his attitude and the concept of paper-chase in Sg. I hate seeing him sleeping till early afternoon. Or worst, ask where i've been when i return from work at 9ish. He should make himself scarce. Or just get out of my way.
I LOVE MY SISTER THOU. She can throw her clothes around and i can clear it. She can take up 3/4 of the bed and i can sleep on a quarter. I'd do anything for her.
Im so thankful for my.love, who on an empty stomach, waited for me to open up and tell of my day's happenings, comforted me, offered help, and wiped my tears away.
He's my happy pill and the best thing that has happened. I couldnt ask for more. I dont deserve this.
No friends, he is not just another date.
This time, its true. Or at least thats what i think. I want to do my best and not perform any stunts to traumatise our friendship and love. I dont know what will become of us.
If there is love and an effort to work things out, i guess all issues can be resolved, or at least compromised. I want a happy marriage (if i do get married) and not end up like Mum and Dad. Their relationship has, in some way or other, placed an impact on us, children. But i want to conquer my own fate. And live till a reasonable age with my other half, holding hands and going for a morning exercise and breakfast.
*
This morning, Ping showed me a blog of a girl, who celebrated her 16th on a boat, which i think the rich call a yatch. And her 18th in a ShangGL presidential suite. For what huh, im still wondering. All that running around in skintight dress, booze, noise and mess. I'd love to be spared.
Most of my friends are done with their 21st, and im pondering bout what to do with mine.
Oh well, nevermind. I'll see to it after my last paper on the 28th.

Being In Love
Isnt it strange, how a turn of events changed my entire perspective.
Isnt it strange, living in reality that feels like a dream.
It was an affirmative talk and hold in the dark,
It was the acts of service that touched my heart.
Isnt it strange, why i waited so long to find a love so very strong.
It is you that made change in my heart.
Isnt it lovely everytime we talk,
with dimmed lights burning candles,
and tunes of romance
accompanying your glittering eyes oh so intense
accompanying your depth of life oh so deep
reaching into matters within our hearts.
Isnt it silly of me to tear when we talk,
it made me realise how important you have become.
Isnt it lovely to hold you every night,
turn down the lights
and sleep real tight.
Isnt this a fantasy,
or is it ecstasy.
Let this be love
let it grow.

Good afternoon, earthlings.
I just went for an op (dont ask if you're not told) on Tues and Mon.amour's been taking great care of me, attending to my needs and looking into every detail just to make sure im making my way to speedy recovery. After drowning in utterly disgusting essence of fish and home cooked meals with tender loving care, i was up and about in no time!
I decided to whip up a dinner for Mon.amour. Goes without saying, my beloved sis and her mother is in for a treat too. After all, its easier to cook for 4 than 2, isn't it.
Went marketing (getting everything myself for the first time) and returned home with chicken carcasses, breast (meat), (large) prawns, chye sim, corn, garlic, ginger and onion. Got down to washing and ripping fats off the chicken and soup was set to brew.
On Tuesday, i was informed that my only case today is at 6.30pm. This morning, i was told to return to work at 2pm. Right after Puasa, the slots were >65% filled-i guess i have allah to thank for. Or perhaps not-i cant go home and prepare dinner!
Determined, or maybe stubborn, i had everything marinated, washed and chopped before heading for work. I want to do it today-my way or no way. My estimate's bout 20mins to get dinnerservedpacked, very yummy and piping hot.
Menu
*chye sim with prawns stir fried in garlic onions and ginger (have to learn to live by 2+2; 2 servings of fruits and veg daily)
*baked (chicken) breasts (men are so in love with dang-dangs aren't they)
*corn soup simmered with chicken carcass and 7 red dates. I forgot the carrots.
*fragrant thai rice
Apologies if i've bored you with my long winded story. Cant you tell i'm finally, seriously in love?!
Bon appetit!

Hello folks.
Life's thrown me abroad with loads of surprises these few weeks.
But i thank the lord for lifelines; my friends and a special someone who has been there for me through it all.
"im not afraid of anything in this world. there's nothing you can throw at me that i havent already heard."
Tracy, who worry for me more than i do. Who makes time for me. Who laughs and cries with me. I would never ever do anything to traumatise the relationship we share.
My dive mates-they never fail to bring joy into my life. I can laugh myself silly while out with them. They dont know but they brought relief to my world just by being the person that they are. And i know that if i should ever need a listening ear, they'd there.
Not forgetting Fuglies-photos we took during poly days still sitting on my wardrobe. They make up 80% of what i remember from school days. I miss the times we skip class, have MacDs together, mock and roll our eyes at each other. But all of us have moved on. We lead our individual lives, we don't know what's happening to each other now. And the last i heard of the 2 most distant folks, they are happily attached/dating. I wish all of you the very very best at work, be it in the private or government sector.
And xxx, whose name and face i shall not reveal as yet. Who doesn't mind my past nor current. Who pampers me silly, accept and appreciates me for the girl i really am, who hears and advices me. Who was there for my dive friends(whom he hasn't even met until that fateful day) and I when we met with a seriously damaged car accident on Sat. I don't know what will become of us. I just want to cherish the now.
Don't ask bout the car accident. All thanks to the cabby driver and his boney Indian passenger. The other passenger and I would had made the same move like the driver did. Fucks to his passenger, who must have caused the accident for changing her mind, causing the driver to cut across the chevron markings and colliding into us. Oh did i just tell you what had happened. Anyways, the cab driver was a lil worried bout his passenger, who opted to head up the ambulance. I told him, "she can still walk in her heels, call her friend and whine. She's okay lah."

For a long time, i've been wanting to air my thoughts bout dental amalgams over the world wide web. But this being controversial issues, i held back, till now. This post was sparked by a letter i opened this morning, regarding the use of dental amalgams with mercury content.
The letter stated concerns arising from the inhalation/ingestion of mercury vapour, followed by lines after lines of affirmation that the use of amalgams do not exhibit adverse side effects.
I shall not comment much on the letter, but here are my views on the subject matter, dental amalgam.
AR(amalgam restorations) expand with age, allowing secondary decay to develop. These decays are hard to detect in its early stages and by the time something is done, it often is too late, leading to the need for more complicated procedures. In fact, there is no chemical bond between the tooth surface and an AR.
AR wedges against the tooth due to temperature changes. Overtime, the tooth cracks and often, a crown may be needed to restore its functionality, and this, has no guarantee that its gonna work.
In the long run, AR stains the walls of the cavity, giving rise to teeth assuming a grey tinge.
Other than obvious negative aesthetic issues, AR releases mercury vapour which might have an effect on the CNS. I for one wouldnt want to put my patients, myself and future generations(if any) at such risks.
As such, i think there should be a system of change implemented in the usage of dental amalgams. If there are researches done to prove its effect on the CNS, no matter how minute, should not be disregarded.
The dental profession is an acquired skill, and a rice bowl to many. What if you were told that these mercury vapour is accumulated in the body over time? What if your kid is having an AR plugged in today?
Its not that im trying to be anal and atas bout the usage of new generation materials. I think mercury, as much as it is 'bonded' with other metals and hence does not pose a risk to the exposed personnels, this risk should not be taken.
Since a switch in work environment, i've seen cases of tooth walls chipping, with the AR still retaining its shape-yah talk bout straight walls flat floors and undercuts. My stand is, i rather have a filling chipped than a tooth chipped.
If cost is all the one is on the look out for, i must say that it isnt too cost efficient in the long run. Yes, new aged materials may be more costly but they bond to the tooth, some have fluoride releasing properties (rechargeable or not huh?) and usually pose less issues down the road. The analogy is like driving a normal sedan vs a 4wheeled drive vehicle on loose gravel/mud. Both would run, but eventually, the normal sedan breaks down or requires much servicing before it tries to catch up with the 4WD.
I know my friends have no choice but to continue plugging in amalgams. I was once in that state but it was no dilemma to me. I stuck with the use of tooth coloured fillings on permanent teeth. It didnt matter much whether i would be questioned or not. I knew i was following a reasonable school of thought, and should not be held liable. In any case, i've always informed patients which tooth has a filling, and to return if they feel a sharp edge, chip or complete dislodge of material.

I cant erase the stupid things i did, i struggle just to find a better way.
So here i am, fighting and trying to hide the scars.
So take a breath and softly say goodbye.
The lonely road, the one that i should try to walk alone.
The queen has lost her crown again.
Goodbye.

Saya had an extremely enjoyable day off. And i guess its the last till exams are over. I have to start hitting the books, seriously.
My kawan and i had breakfast at Pekk!o Food Market before heading to the Causeway. We were so thankful it was a smooth drive down, tak jam.
It was alot of fun for i gave my humble opinions when choosing the rims, console box and gauges. Alex, the boss, was kind to dual circuit those gauges, such that they come on red when the pilot light is switched on, and white when the headlights are in use. Coolbeans! The body kit and spoilers were ordered long ago and mounted on today. I thought the blue looked a lil darker than the car's body but Alex reassured us that it'll blend with some sun exposure. Another trip is needed to fine tune those gauges. Oh ya! A Transformer's logo was mounted on-cute eh! Ok maybe cute's not the word for a man's thing Total damage after reasonable bargaining: Approx 5,600RM. Now i understand the joy when aboy man has his car modified. The joy is akin to us buying a branded handbag we had been wanting for the longest time-happiness and excitement purified, i tell you.
While waiting for the evolvement of thebeng car, Alex gave us a lift to Jusc0 Ae0n +ebrau.
For lunch, I had a huge slab of beef and he had 3 measly sticks of chicken, served on a heated stonegrill. You'll never understand how carnivorous i felt at that instance. It was accompanied with french fries and mixed vegetables-yeah those disgusting peas, carrots and corn we used to detest as a kid, and still do.
I had wanted to get some work clothes, to no avail-the things i took fancy upon had shops in Sg.
We took a cab to Holiday Plaza at RM12. It wasnt just a 20mins suana ride. Half of me was baking in the sorching sun.
There, we had a drink and spicy fries @ MacD's before heading for Thai massage which was shiokness to the max!
He bought MacD's for the guys. Alex picked us up in the newly modified stylo milotoy car, had a free manual car wash before heading back to the shop. While the technicians tied up some loose ends, we had a light zi char dinner at the roadside hawker.
The drive back to Sg was a smooth one too. I was home by 9.20pm, totally worn out from the day's activities but felt it was a day well spent, nonetheless.

38th Weekend of 2008
Friday 19th Sept 2008
TGIF.
I slept the day away, did some laundry and prepared for school. F wasnt available-i had to bus down. I was 20mins late for lecture, and very thankful i didnt miss out much. I made a new friend, but we didnt exchange contacts. She lives across the street, and i guess i might bump into her during one of those late night studying at MacD's.
Im so thankful a friend picked me up from school, before heading to St James Power Station. We joined the folks from the Dayang's trip and 2 other HB staff at M0vida's.
I didnt want to drink that night. And i couldnt dance either. I was so legs tied hands tied. I
It was heart wrenching to see one of the girls so down and out, emotionally i mean. But im sure there'll come a day(and that day will come soon) she realise matters and laugh at her own folly. Just like how i got over N, the guy who bought me the brown t shirt i wore to ice skate.
Another was pissed drunk and all we could do was tie up her hair, give her lime, plain water and countless hand towels for her after pukes.
Some headed home while we went for indian crispy dough at +homson. I saw an SGX Swift, and was hoping to bump into Kel. I miss my bitch.
It was depressing to know that the night ended at 4plus am for Sat's gonna whiz pass real fast.
Saturday 20th Sept 2008
F sent me to school, and i had a sleepy time listening to law cases at class. I kinda got to know an acquaintance better. j0hn's his name, has a girlfriend and both of them dive! They just came back from Sipadan, with a flooded camera. Oh well, shit happens.
Headed to a friend's place for a chill out evening. We had ohsosinfulbutsuperyummy kFC! The rest came at bout 9pm, we played Taboo and went down for ice-cream. The flavours were special, but had nothing much to rave about-not like they're paying me aite?
I swear by my unborn child's life that his apartment is tidier than my room-okay anyone's room would be. Its a wonder how a man can maintain the place! I feel ashamed.
But i was quite inspired to have an apartment i can call home. Mum thought it was a great idea-she would love to shift in(that spells disaster) and have some alone time too. I dont quite like my current room cause it's shared. I dont like people's things lying around, i dont mind mine. I dont like the idea of lil sis hitting on my head in the middle of the night, someone snatching my bolster and getting tangled in my comforter. But still, i'm thankful that i've a rather cosy place to return to. :)
Sunday 21st Sept 2008
I collapsed on the bed the moment i returned from work. I missed dance again, for 3 weeks in a row. Some of 'em got worried, called up my friends and decided to drop by my place to check on me.
I woke up to the sounds of a vacuum cleaner on Monday. Mom has decided to take 2 days off to tidy the place. A new(display set) front load washing machine replaces the retired set. I think i should give her some monies for it. Its a whopping 860SGD! Her take was, roadshows offer the latest models, like in the case of television sets and mobile phones. And the wash machines hasnt been used (technically) cept for some minor scratches. She said, 'only that idiot(thats how she calls F) would know how to service it.'
F's a handyman. From electrical wiring to plumbing to servicing of household electricals to carpentry to cooking-cept new age stuff like computers and mobile phones. Such men are hard to come by these days. They'll probably have the electricals replaced, just like mum did.

-
Its my off day and the agenda starts only at 5.30pm-prepare for school at 7-10pm and a post Dayang gathering after school. Few things have been on my mind since i woke up, and this is the only medium I can share with. I miss my sister during free times like these. We would have so much 'fun' being in the same room doing different things.
Its been a long long time since i last ate instant noodles, and i cant recall when i finished more than 1/2 a bowl of this very disgusting noodles. Some mocha chocolate ice cream saved my day! Nevermind the fats. I believe in enjoyment of food while i still can. Of cause, must exercise larh.. (Another day cann. Haha!)
Early this morning (of cause i went back to bed!), mum was complaining that she doesnt see me at home. My very sleepy 'okay' reply sent her in a rage. She went on and on bout anything and everything else, until i had to explain that on weekdays i work, i work till 9pm. When im home pre-work, im home alone. On Fridays, school starts at 7pm. On Saturdays, 2pm. She works half days on Sats too, so its not surprising i dont get to see her aite!? Needless to say, i work on Sundays and most of the time go for dance after that. I skipped dance and we had dinner together last Sunday! That forgetfulbitchmother. This time issue problem with my family has never occurred to me in thought-but now that it's happening, i cant blame anyone. I asked for it and i guess i should make an effort to be back for planned dinners on Sat/Sundays.
A dental appointment was scheduled for my F today at 3.30-4.15pm. Early this afternoon, he told me he'll go at 3pm, and have to leave by 4pm. Or he'll go at 4pm, Now this sent me in a rage!
Patients think that 'if i go early, doctor see me early, i can go for my next appointment!-yayy yayy'. A load of rubbish. The thing is, doctor can never see you earlier, cause there's someone else before you! If you go early and you demand to be seen earlier, what's the point of making an appointment? Just walk in, kick up a fuss with the front desk officers and demand to be seen today lah! Or worst! Go at 4pm, with 15mins of appointment time left, you demand full treatment at the expense of another person having to wait for his turn. And the time chain drags on, in the end, doctor no dinner, nurse no dinner, everyone's upset!
I've not reached a stage where i can tell patients off that time is precious-dental treatment takes lots of time, where a suddenly cancelled appointment slot might safe the life and trouble of another person, etc. So, i told my F off. And now im contemplating to ask him send me to school tonight or not. Okay maybe this time, i didnt play my cards right. Haha!
My room has been in a mess and im so lazy to start tidying up. But i know i cant start studying in a messy environment like this. Its a wonder how Ellice can settle down and start with her homework. Now..maybe the bulk of the mess is hers. :X
It's been a long long time since i had tea/coffee with milk and i wonder why. The last time i had it was due to a wrong order and i drank less than a third. I seem to favour teh-o peng these days. Sometimes, i would spare myself the sugar and head for fruits or chinese tea instead. Oh ya, chinese tea is know as "diao yu", translated fishing at hawker centres.
Apples have became my favourite fruit for they are readily accessible at ColdStorage near my work place. It cleanses teeth and freshens the breath too!
The folks at S.Cove are going for a leisure trip together in November, before the season closes. Im keen because of the fun we always have together, but i've refrained myself from joining them. I should save up for further dive trip(s) next year. Moreover, there's school fees due soon. And outstanding phone bills(and the fine that comes along with it) that im so lazy to pick up.
Its 3pm right now. I should stop talking rubbish and start packing my Ike stricken room.
Oh wait wait!
I'm such a pampered soul! My friend's picking me up at school so it saves me time and trouble of having to travel down to wherever they will be!
I saw my commercial law test results on wed, was disappointed and have not gotten over the disappointment. I scored a credit (12/20) for it. I dont know what went wrong nor know how to improve.
My best friend and i, together with 2 other boys went for ice-skating together at KaIIang on Tuesday. We had good laughs, but i thought it wasnt very fun. Afterall, how much fun can going in circles be right.
The tall guy met an old friend and we girls took the opportunity to learn from his friend! I got 2 (realllly huge!) blue blacks on my knees for learning how to cross skate. But it's ok, at least we took a photo of dancing on ice. We are real wanna-be's!

Beauty
I was looking through a social networking site, Facebk and chanced upon photos taken on Sat's evening at Carmen's birthday celebration. The first thing that came to mind was, "i have beautiful friends!"
Then i thought deeper-what is beauty? The multiple rings on the neck of tribe women in Thailand, bounded feet, tattoos, fashion trends, anorexics, etc?
We've heard enough of beauty only being skin deep, beauty being in the eyes of the beholder (some say BEERholder), etc.
How beauty is defined is often a societal stereotype, with much influence from the media. Beauty is so often derived from imagery of hottest film/tv stars. In recent years, there were media encouragements reaching out with 'love your bodies' messages, yet its effectiveness is questioned.
I guess anything physical is substantial. The beauty of a person should be defined by their character and the values they hold.
My closer friends are all beautiful. To me, their beauty shines through a different medium, and i embrace them all. Their physical beauty is an attitude of how they carry themselves and can never be replicated.
Ask me bout plastic surgery, why not! Rhinoplasty and breast implants, anyone?
"I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may - light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful."
Ok i bestow to you a photo of my pretty friends. Urm, one single but not available, the other taken.

HPB Dive Fest 2008
Did a webscan and found yourself here?
Welcome!
Its been a week since i embarked on a corporate trip with HPB but i clearly recall the uncertainty in me-going with another dive school, using new gear, bringing a camera, meeting new faces, etc, which, in the end, amounted to nothing more than unnecessaryworries concerns.
It was a long ride to Dayang from Mersing, bout 4 hours. Then it was sand sand sand sand sand sand sand all the way to the quad sharing. erm. resort.
Its weird that the lights were on before checking in to the room. Then i really got a culture shock as i stepped into the living quarters. On the left, just beside my bed, was a dirty looking metal plate. The bunk beds were creaky, mattress had no bed sheets and the pillow was rock hard. Truth be told, i didnt even brush that night because i dont wanna step into the toilet. Oh! We filled a pail of water, only to find 3mm long red worms in the water. "What to do, just bathe lor".
It was supposed to be quad sharing but my only roomie and i were lucky to have it to ourselves!
Not exactly complaining larh, but i've been very pampered at Tioman. :P
The jet fins were a lil heavy, even in water, but came in very handy in choppy waters on Sunday. It being my 1st time finning frog-style, i thought the overall experience was no less than thumbs up! Zenz' mini shadow fitted me perfectly too.
I wasted air during 2/3 dives for my mask kept fogging-the conditioner got washed off on the surface while waiting for other folks. Took photos of the lack lustre marine life and folks which made the weekend exceptionally remarkable-check em out on Facebk!
Remember how reluctant i was just last Friday (5th) yet i'm missing the folks so much now. I guess there's this thing bout spending time together overseas, how it miraculously brings people together (uh huh love was in the air. :P) , how the real personality in us surface.
It was rainingcats and dogs sharks and manta-rays, and few of the guys were so sweet to bring us (super duper) saccharine sweet red bean soup and hot beverages while the rest goofed under the shelter, still freezing from wet suits and evil gushing winds.
And if you find yourself not making any friends during such activities, maybe it's time you step out of your comfort zone, stop complaining, start serving and engaging with others.
If i were to sum up everything in one word, 'fun' be an understatement.
Oh did i forget to mention, its my 3rd overseas trip with Carrie!
Drained but few of us lugged our heavy bags and went for indian dough with mutton/chicken & drinks at Arab Street's Zamzam before heading home. Zamzam's overrated, i must say. Nevertheless, the company (and a treat from one of the boys-hehe) made it all so worthwhile!
I spent the rest of the week working sleeping sleeping sleeping and sleeping. Well. You know you're getting old when such activities suck the energy out of you-dry.
Welcome!
Its been a week since i embarked on a corporate trip with HPB but i clearly recall the uncertainty in me-going with another dive school, using new gear, bringing a camera, meeting new faces, etc, which, in the end, amounted to nothing more than unnecessary
It was a long ride to Dayang from Mersing, bout 4 hours. Then it was sand sand sand sand sand sand sand all the way to the quad sharing. erm. resort.
Its weird that the lights were on before checking in to the room. Then i really got a culture shock as i stepped into the living quarters. On the left, just beside my bed, was a dirty looking metal plate. The bunk beds were creaky, mattress had no bed sheets and the pillow was rock hard. Truth be told, i didnt even brush that night because i dont wanna step into the toilet. Oh! We filled a pail of water, only to find 3mm long red worms in the water. "What to do, just bathe lor".
It was supposed to be quad sharing but my only roomie and i were lucky to have it to ourselves!
Not exactly complaining larh, but i've been very pampered at Tioman. :P
The jet fins were a lil heavy, even in water, but came in very handy in choppy waters on Sunday. It being my 1st time finning frog-style, i thought the overall experience was no less than thumbs up! Zenz' mini shadow fitted me perfectly too.

I've been loosing sleep over a recent 'complaint' at work, at which boss didnt even see as an official complaint. I finally thought it through after seeing an advertisement in the lift at the train station.
".. has garnered 133 compliments over the past 14years.."
Humans (Singaporeans, at least) are stingy with compliments but ever-ready to complaint! On hindsight, i guess i should cut myself some slack, there have been compliments from others too!
Im least excited bout the upcoming Dayang dive trip over the weekends. I want my khakis at SunnyCove, to see how much the 4 kittens have grown, mango ice cream, hot bathing water, familar grounds, etc. I want PayaBeach! Still, gotta pack for the trip after work on Thurs. Fri's gonna be a mad rush after work!
I want to do the following by 2009 : adventure trail at Bedok (Kel, the one deaRic planned!), cycling at Pulau Ubin, tree climbing, rock climbing, kayaking, bungee jump, learn bachata and salsa(gonna try again!) and keeping in view a holiday with friends and sky diving!
I'm young and i have FREEDOM! Yoooohoooo!! "but no love"
A girl says this every few weeks, 'i need more clothes'.
And the most exciting thing that happened today-i met LOL! I REALLY MISS GOD-MA! She looks ever radiant! The moment we saw each other, there was this intense feeling of closeness, thou we have not been catching up.
+oas+ Box serves really yummy peanut butter toast! And sub standard teh peng with too much milk too much water too little tea, and half boiled eggs with whites too runny and yolk too cooked-Yuck. My screaming sinful dinner cum supper with Zenz.
Should i give serious relationships another try? Or am i looking for trouble by doing so? There's work school dance family friends and myself to handle, on top of the things i wanna try!
I was at Tracy's place on Tues evening, looking at old photographs and messages we wrote each other. Surprisingly, it still stands. The only difference? We look hell load better now-thou baggy jeans were so IT!
My ex class mate's birthday celebration on the 12th has been on my mind and im :( i wont be able to make it. One of the few parties i'd love to go and give my blessings, meet some friends and catch up a lil! Too bad i've got school from 7-10pm on Fri.
