Maiden Performance

Hello Folks,

my maiden performance is finally over, phew!

I remember being missing-in-action for a week just 2 weeks before performance proper, running between work, home and my study spots. I was mugging for my tests, of which i hope to get (high) distinctions. :X On Sunday, 24th, i returned to the Tango scene, realised i missed out alot and felt pressured. But i guess that stress motivated my partner and i to catch up.

No doubt, we did make a few, hopefully unnoticeable mistakes today but it's amazing that everything pieced together.

These could never be done without the tireless spirit in the team, especially my teachers and his lovely gf, heading down for practice after work, staying till late, spotting our mistakes, fine tuning little details, etc. There were small squabbles and disagreements but the underlying factor of wanting to do the best that we could can never be disputed.

These weeks spent with the team were moments of more than Tango practice. We worked things out, cared and took care of each other in our little greetings and ways. There were serious moments but jokes and cheeky mockery tipped the scale. I would confidently declare that the camaraderie amongst us is incommensurable!

I'd like to thank all who were there, whose presence gave us affirmation-knowing that even if everyone else faults and criticizes our moves, you'd be there to cheer and applaud.

And to the awesome team, we have not just reached the destination. We went through the process, together.

Went for a post performance celebration at Kay Poh Road. Now the guys can't fault us ladies for feasting! ;) Pampered me took a lift back from Vip, who lives just down the street.




Now i've no reason not to tidy my room (for real), catch up with lil sis, hang out with some friends, start exam preparations and prepare for the dive trip to Dayang next weekend!

Yay! Sunday marks the end of August! $_$

Its 4plus am and my veins are still pumping with residual adrenaline but i should hit the sack! The last thing i'd want to experience is tiredness at work!

Good night loves!

Oula Earthlings. Some updates bout my now-i-find-it-mundane-life.

Kel's backing out from HPB's Dive Fest. :( She's the main reason i signed up at non-corporate rate (an exorbitant $80 increase) and good justification for an underwater camera housing. Doubt i'll back out from the trip to PulauDayang since 50% of the deposit has been paid for. Moreover, there're others i know of going! Am still gonna get the cool-ass underwater housing since my ex patient's dad got me a damn good deal.

Recently, i've been browsing the pages of @pple's Online Store, more or less thinking of an iMac 20". If i can see it, i can have it. My PowerBookG4's still serving me well albeit applications running like a Pentium1. One day, the desktop shall come to pass!

It's been awhile since Tracy and i met up with the bunch of boys. The change amongst them is amazing. Now, the bulk of our conversation centres on marriage plans, housing deals, and all that grown up stuff. Coming to think of it, im barely 21 and i feel like im already 'there'! Soon there'll be insurance premiums and bills to care for. I dont wanna grow up!! An ex sec sch mate(im certain there're more than 1) is already happily married and blessed with a baby girl! Just the other day, boss was telling me abit bout child management and parenthood. Ahh! I dont wanna get there! (yet, maybe)

I love my curls today. Show you a blur narcissistic photo okay!

I miss going shopping with lil sis. We do the cutest things, from hunting for great deals to encouraging each other to buy what we like(thou deep down we know its expensive) to helping double check for garment defects, and the list goes on!


Recently, my tongue has been less forgiving. Last time, i'd pass it off with a smile or silently disagree, but not of recent days. I've been speaking my mind and to some extent, this is not good. I might make enemies and hurt those around me. Anyhows, i'm still gonna do it. Cause i've had enough of the 'im never in the wrong dont you correct me' or 'im so busy can you do this and that for me' attitude.

Finally shopped for bestie's overdue birthday gift. And i carelessly forgot to remove the price tags! Worse, the receipts came with date, time and place stamped black and white! Shame shame is my name!

I want Sat's performance to turn out splendid.

I need a breather-some time to be alone, pack my room, organise my things. Fix up the study desk and chair-yeah i've been sitting on it for x days! Seems like packing my room is the only thing i do in my free time. Haha! Cause i never get down to it seriously-end up nuahing on the bed. :X Or when i do get down to it, it gets messed up with clothes and school stuff in no time!

That's bout it for now aye. Hitting the sack (time check after last update: 4am) and sleeping till i've had enough! Forget bout the thought of going for a swim unless i get up early enough. Cut myself some slack and up the fats!

Cheers to the drawing weekends!

Watch Life Go By

A stranger accompanied me for lunch at the food market. Wrinkled and partially edentulous, he gave me his widest smile. And reached for my palm, as if wanting to read my fortune. But there wasnt any. To some, it must have felt like a "molested" touch from a regular at YangTze cinema. But i guess everyone needs some form of physical human touch, be it from a family member, friend, spouse or fling(s). I was totally cool with everything until i saw a man in his 50s digging his nose and then trying to remove food remnants from in between his teeth. Soon after, i pulled away.

I sat there sipping my teh-peng, and watched life go by. And i think thats rejuvenating.

I overheard a conversation bout office politics. And i thought, "still talk bout work at lunch time?!" I think thats silly. I see no point in discussing what you cant prevent. Take things as they come along. There's just so much one can do, and one cant afford to please everyone. Do whatever one thinks is right and appropriate in that situation. Anyone can say anything as they please. But not everyone can say they did the right thing with an eased conscience.

Then i initiated a conversation with an Aunty who joined me at the table. She came all the way from some faraway place for a dumpling(glutinous rice) with yellow bean filling. She dipped a bite sized piece with sweet sauce, chilli, sweet sauce, chilli, sweet sauce, chilli (exactly 3 times), looked at it before popping it into her mouth. Why not mixed both sauces together. Or just do it once. Things people do.

My 'behh behh' (baby), Ah Heng, the drinks seller i frequent for his super nice kopi and teh, had bouts of uber super busy moments. Then i recalled. Isnt life like this at times? We have busy periods with everything flooding in, seemingly crushing us, but once its over, we take a breather and "phew", now it's over, then in comes another wave of helter skelter, each time thinking we cant cope. But actually, the end is near.

I like a busy life. Because in the midst, i want to make a difference in the life of another.

I dont know where im going in this post, but i guess the gist is bout taking some time out and watch life go by.

If you recall bout the very funny guy, he said something like the following to Serene after she said something nasty.
"You better pray your life is just like your name, so serene. Dont think your ninja(Ninja's her boyfriend) can protect you much longer."

Solitude.

Tracy's 21st

My babe's 21st birthday celebrations was at a roof garden suite@Siloso. On arrival, the door of the cab was opened and i was greeted by __ and 2 front desk receptionists. __ escorted me to the 8th level too! Its a shame i didnt even get his name! Anyways, on the 1st level of the room was a queen sized bed (not comparable to mine!), toilet, built in wardrobe, tv and a parapet overlooking the sea. The private roof top garden included a bathtub with jacuzzi, a shower area and 2 deck chairs.

It was a simple fare with a total of 10 attendees-1 boyfriend, 1 school mate, 1 secondary school mate and 7 friends from her part time job. The chocolate cake was nice and moist with bitter sweet fudge 'overlay'. The filling, RUM(the girl's favourite!) and cherry simply upped the overall awesomeness. The cherries were so full (plush?) and oh so sweet! Nothing fancy on design but definately leaves me wanting! I prefer the Banana Chocolate from Zenz birthday thou. One of the boys really cracked us up. We had much fun playing P!ct!onary & Tab00 too!

The girls.


Woke up to the sight of reclaimed waters, coconut trees and the armpit of that really funny guy.

Business Statistics test comprising 30% of the overall was manageable. The results will tell..
Up next, Commercial Law on Saturday!

Boss has been awfully kind to my work schedule. I know days like these dont last when the appointment book fills up (in the very very very near future) but at least it has given me more time to study, dance and more importantly, rest. I've been having neck/shoulder aches the past week and i'm starting to wonder if it's due to my horrid seating posture at work, studying on a coffee table, wrong sleep positions at night or a pillow too high for me? Or have i been grinding at night due to stress factors?

Beats me!

Kelly Carmen and Fuglies, I miss all of you .. so.. so much.

Dont we just miss those blue days.

-

While at class yesterday night, i realized i've been making seeming innocuous yet acrimonious remarks at, lets call it, Axe.

I can no longer tolerate Axe for being so full of itself-its inordinate level of pride, self exhaltation, cockiness, lordliness, you get the drift?

And its' halitosis. For lord's sake-Awareness. Personal hygiene. Dental health.

Anyways.

Mum and i just came back from !kea. Finally decided to get a proper study desk. Trust my good taste-i'll post photos once it's set up. I want to do it by Monday after work and pia for Tues's test!

I'm suffering from 'acute insomnia' and i cant rectify the cause. I might be a lil worried about the upcoming tests, but that cant be the reason im loosing sleep-I've had more stressful exam moments. The day's happenings, how ideal things be if it was done this-way-that-way-all-my-way, what it'll be like now(at that moment) if i was at a friend's place,the beach,out for kopi.. etc. just keep flashing across my mind.

It's the 17th and it's TRACY's TWENTY1ST BIRTHDAY! She booked a hotel room at Sentosa. Good choice babe. Big parties are tiring business.

Be heading home to get games and take a bath before picking up the cake at VivoCity and then cab in.

Coolbeans! Thats my Sunday! Oh yes, with a kid scheduled midday. Arrrrrh! I need empowerment!

Life's Getting Mundane

Work
School
Dance

Boring.

7th Aug 2008. My last patient. Said. "这里洗牙没有这样痛."

Up coming tests.

Sighs.

I'm in a grumpy mood right now! I wasted my entire Saturday. It could had been more effective.

I know(hope) patient flow would be packed but manageable on Sunday! CHEERS!-in a bid to sign off on a positive note.

Inserted Monday, 11th Aug 08, 1234am.
Hola Earthlings.

I just returned from National Day themed tango milonga. Dance wasnt as enjoyable as how it should had been. I guess I'm too tired from work and its all written on my grouchy face. :X Nonetheless, our dear in-house photographer never fail to capture my heartfelt moments with Vette. And photoshop them to further emphasize our lesbian tendencies. =.=

Some Rubbish

Someone asked if "i'm happy" at this point in my life.

If the defination of contentment is not the fulfillment of what you want, but the realization of how much you already have, i guess i am contented right now.

There are 1001 things i wish i could lay my material soul on. Like Tango shoes from Comme Il Faut, 0.4c diamond ear studs, huge bag(i can be specific here but skipping it), portable speakers etc.
Most things that are tempting are decadent, forbidden and slightly out of reach. These years, I've lived by "if i can see it (digital pictures/in the mind), i can have it". I dont know if they call that the power of the mind/visualisation but it sure works.

There are 1001 things to complain about work, but i must say i'm a pampered being. So much so if i were to be thrown to manage a sch00l dentaI clinic, i'll be found flustered!
The greatest achievement this week: DTC a super-duper-stubborn-and-apprehensive im-so-gonna-refer-you-for-GA kid. (I think my "dental-nurse" roots are still firmly grounded. Teeheehee. I miss working with those little devils at primary schools. They are hell lot easier to manage. I've never said, "ask your mummy bring you to the private clinic" but im getting a good dose of karmic exposure.
I need to level up(dont know how) my savoir-faire. I foresee more challenges up at work.

There are 10001 things to say of mum bro n sis, but im contented we are healthy and living together under the same roof.

There are 1001 things i love(and 10001 things i hate) about my knight in shining armour, but i shall take my privacy elsewhere. "You're looking for Mr Perfect. There is no such person" I believe he's either in the making, or currently unavailable.

There are 1001 cities/villages to visit and experience and i shall pin em all down one fine day! Folks from the dive school are going on a leisure trip to Bali <2 weeks from now-and im envious yet feeling the excitement for them! I can only taste Malaysian waters in September's Dive Fest. I want to go on a long dive trip next year! Reason being... urm.. a break after Dec's peak period? :X

There are 1001 things to study but i've not started. And its high time i do! Tests this mid August! Things to do tomorrow: Print photo and lecture notes, swimming with my bit(rayc)h and her little boy friend, study, tango practica, craft.

End of Some Rubbish.

2009

Okay folks!

In 2009, i want..

Leisure
Dance
1) Another pair of Tango heels!

a) I think i have a thang for exotic prints. Think snake skin, leopard/cheetah, etc. Awwww. Meoww.

b) Loaded-with-sexromantic-appeal heels is silently becoming a uniform at TLTS.

c) Urm did i say i love details? Too much?

2) To be able to stand on my own, stride with confidence, catch voleo leads, and so much more cause my tango (now) cannot make it.

Diving
1) To take Rescue Diver's Certification.

2) To dive out of Singapore and Malaysia waters! Ok, to be slightly more specific, Indonesia/Thailand/Philippines. If you're keen to sponsor, Maldives be awesome!

Holiday
1) Visit and homestay in U.S.(N.Y.C.) or India if money allows.

Work
1) To go on a (at least) 4 day long dental mission trip.

2) My appointment slots fully filled.

FOLKS! ITS AUGUST! Soon it'll be time to consolidate matters and prepare for 2009!

Question me, why the excitement? "I dont know."

"Siao"

Ya, i agree.

Banana Milonga

Oula earthlings.

I returned from awhile ago and am most excited to tell you of tonight's happenings. Unfortunately, its tough business summing up all the fun and silly antics we did, especially so after a day at work-thus a photo entry. ;)

Special appearance by Merrylyn Monroll.


Some random photo i really like for it's damn cute.


Then there was a fight over ... urm.. probably the last piece of Royce chocolate.

It was indeed a night of fruit overdose! There were banana muffins, banana cakes, banana fritters (goreng pisang), durian pancakes, durian pudding, yellow cherry tomatoes, strawberries and carrot cake with cheese amongst many other yummy fattening food.

All the girls are getting this pair from Darc0s. I love it too. It might be my next pair. :X SCREAMING SEXY ISNT IT?!


Isnt this amazing? The play with passion for photography and lights.


Welcome to The Dark Side.



Cant get enough of lesbian scenes? Join us at a trial argentine tango class, happening 10th Aug 2008, Sunday 6pm-7pm @ 88B Tanjong Pagar Rd, #03-01, 088509.

One more reason you should take up Argentine Tango.


Oh! And work! It was an awesome day with the 1st hour crawling pass and helter skelter the subsequent(s).
I came back with packed food and HL banana milk (just so i'll get into the milonga mood) and my assistant was already DONE with lunch! I had a bite(literally) and left the rest in clinic! Shoot me for being careless, somebody.
Im half way through (reading) a 32 page long journal bout creating aesthetically pleasing smiles. Content proper aside, it showed me how important it is to meet a need when one is hot on the idea, and how talking to clients is a game of wordplay. (The whole wordplay issue reminds me that i need to start reading up on law) Ruth, way to go, yo!

Signing Off,
The Dark Side.

Inserted Thursday, 1.54am.
As much as i love nuahing sessions with my bestie at home, I cant tolerate doing nothing at work. So i read in an attempt to keep up. Sometimes, the thought of such empty days in the future creeps in and casts a shadow of uncertainty and doubt over me. Am I not good enough, i question myself. Then i look through your messages, And am comforted. Thank you my friends. Your thoughts and well wishes that were sent when i just started work was my source of strength, and it still is. Please keep them coming, I'll be there should you need me too. Cheers to our careers, where ever we may be.

With love, a hug and 2 kisses,
Jovelle Ruth.

1 Life, Live It.

Its been a long while since Kel and i met up for an impromtu late night rendezvous.
I was introduced a stranger's online journal. Skeptical bout Kel's defination of must-see-sure-cry, i decided to check things out. True enough, tears welled in my eyes. More importantly, it reminded me of the caducity of life.

I want to cherish and enjoy the now that i have. I want the courage to tell someone i like him, and how awestruck i am by his knowledge and character, though there might never be a happy ending. I want to stop fooling around someday and be in love and union with someone. I dont want to slog for a wage and let life pass me by-I want to be able to help people who would never have the ability to repay me. I want to eventually have a nice apartment i call home-I want to host get-togethers at my place and capture candid shots of my friends on polaroid. I want to get lost in a dance and forget about everything else. I want to spend my retirement days on an island (dont remind me of Sg being an island) away from city life, diving, dancing and being in the arms of my lover. I want to live in the present, and the future.

I'm not against any chimnies(smokers)-in fact, i'd love to smoke weed, but i hope you'd all quit. I'm not against speeding but i hope you'd all drive safe. I'm not against casual sex but please play it safe. I'm not against tattoos but please make sure the needles are changed. There's an endless list of naughty dangerous acts that places strain on our lives. It doesnt really matter if I depart. But I dont want to go through the heartache of someone leaving me.. Of memories of us flashing back.

“You can shed tears that he is gone,
or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all he's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone,
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what he'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.”

One life, live it, yo.

It's been awhile since you heard me rant ya? I do have my fair share of doubts and worries.
Well, I go home to a singing canary i call mum. And a sister who throws her stuff around my room-i just might rip her apart someday. And my brother whom i occassionally conflict with. Manners of a banshee. Sometimes i hunt for some indication of a brain in him.
At work, i'm leeching onto another's clientele, and it's worrying that the appointment pages are barely written.
In school, i can keep up with lecture, but im not practising tutorial questions back home. The thought of having to prepare for an exam, especially so an open book exam, sends darts of fears right through my heart. Time is gonna whizz pass, and it's high time i start doing something bout school-or at least, start studying in an attempt to alleviate some fears.

My greatest fear for now: School. I guess i've not given what i wanted to pursue much thought, used elimination methdology (again, like how i choose my diploma) got into it too quickly. Then again, i dont want to live on an idle street, sit comfortably in the hands of work, only to jolt to senses at 30. Too late.

Oh well, on a brighter note, being a student brings great privileges! I met the naughty girl, Tracy, and her habitual rubber time ended up with a famished me(us) having late lunch at !ch!banSushi and a Student's Cone from Henders0n's! I love those chunky almonds drowning in the delicate and creamy sin, carrying with it a subtle hint of kopi. HEY! If only it was drizzled with dulce de leche (one more reason to visit Argentina), wouldnt it be nice!?

Isnt it great that Sg's a sunny island all year round? We'll never run out of excuses for an icecream, or a popsicle!


Coolbeans!

Key Ingredients

Bon Jour. Just returned from Tango practica..

Because education is a process, not an event.

Anyways, here's an abstract of The Recipe of Success: 5 Key Ingredients Essential in the Making of a Dental Hygienist, written by Dafna Czudner, RDH. It encompasses simple stuff we know of in head knowledge. I'm still working towards an internalisation of the following points, and i hope you are too. Because we need to 'stand above the rest' in order to be successful and have a fulfilling career as a dental hygienist.

1) Constantly stay current. Dentistry moves ahead daily with new technologies and modalities and it is our responsibility to stay current through continuing education. This is necessary and essential for ourselves, colleagues and clients.

2) In order for a dental hygienist to be truly complete within their career, it is necessary to have an overall understanding of all aspects of dentistry. We are not only dental hygiene educators but also overall dental educators. It is our responsibility as a dental hygienist to be able to educate not only within the dental hygiene scope of practice, but also for all aspects of dental care.

3) The ability to communicate well . So much of what we teach and do is encompassed within communication skills, with both our colleges and our clients. Everything, including communication skills, can be taught and learned.

4) Be a team player. The ability to be flexible, to encompass amazing time management skills and not only focus on your days work but on everyone's day. This is something that is recognized and appreciated greatly by your employer, fellow co-workers and clients.

5) Lastly, for not only in your career as a dental hygienist, but in all aspects of ones life, having a positive attitude is something that is essential to hold. To be positive within your work environment makes for better working relationships, increases case acceptance with your clients and makes for a much happier and successful career overall.

Like everything else in life the more you practice the easier it gets.
I dont think i should say i need more practice. I need to remember what i practiced.

My First Day

Inserted 22nd July 2008, 1.38AM.

Not a fan of chinese pop, but here's my current favourite.


Kel, is our ALL TIME FAVOURITE-how i miss our poly days..





I feel like a blessed puppy!
Many have sent me their blessings via sms and MSN.

Here's an example..
trayc says: (12:27:36 AM)
GIVING  YOU ALL MY BLESSINGS FOR YOUR FIRST DAY OF WORK TMR.

Even dad, knowing my love for Thai style tapioca sent me this. "Starting work today. I just bought tapioca (from the market). Brush your teeth and prepare to sink into them". I was doing my 2nd patient when i received this. Kinda.. cute.

While mum was being overly biased and unsupportive. She didnt even know i'll be starting work today (talk bout living under the same roof), refused to help temporarily stitch a pair of black pants i bought for work (ended up wearing jeans :P), not waking me up for work (but woke bro up cause i remembered he needed to do something), sulking and frowning early in the morning!

Anyways. I wore Chance and prepared myself for a splendid day ahead.

It was a straightforward day with no major hiccups.. Oh my friend had this patient who was in a hurry. She was behind schedule by bout 15mins. So she worked a lil faster, ended a lil earlier than patient expected and he/she questioned her, 'so fast ar? I haven seen a dentist in 5 years you know' These strange people. (Oh so you know it's been so long since your last visit.) Do they just want another weekend kill-my-time-while-i-wait-for-my-sonny slot?

Few issues that i wanna blog about for self improvement.
1) Prior issue: My greatest fear was taking intra oral shots. Today: Some were way off but it was encouraging to know that some were not (too) bad. Evaluation: I guess it comes with practice and realising what went wrong. Area of improvement: I need to get used to the dSLR settings and angulate the mirror and camera at a 'parallel' axis for a good shot. Any tips, anyone?

2) Prior issue: I thought i'd be able to complete S&P in 30mins. Today: I took almost a full 45min slot per patient! Evaluation: Key emphasis be on patient's comfort and quality work. Need a lil fine tuning on comfort vs work time. Not a big issue thou.
I want to be patient orientated. I want to eventually have someone tell me, 'hey, the overall experience wasnt as scary as i thought it to be.' or a 'its squeaky clean now-amazing!' And the best thing? They pay AND thank you.

3) Prior to work: Failed to think about how to write clinical notes. HAHA! Shameful ++! Too pampered by !DEAS-just click away and tahhh dahhh! Today: Put what i learnt from attachments at NDC during trainee days into good use. Lol. Area of improvement: Write in fuller details, provides a good basis of communication between pat!ent dent!st and hyg!en!st.

4) Unable to evaluate source/cause of pain. Evaluation: Do tests and use elimination methodology.

5) Took my 1st BW. Ruth, remember, black surface faces cone. I need to take more peri apicals!


6) Take bigger side steps in media lunas.

Updated schedule for Monday:

10am-11pm: Swimming at C_C
11pm-1pm: Bathe, lunch and travel to Novena
1pm-4pm: Study
4pm-5pm: Head home bathe and change for work
5pm-5.30: Travel to work.
6pm-9pm: Work
10pm: Meet Rico pass diving photos and video.
This is why i need a huge bag. :P
I've been looking at... Isnt it damn chio. Teeheehee.
Hope Rico's able to help get it from HK! Its way overpriced here in Sg. Too bad if its out of stock. I want it quite badly, but logic keeps me alive.

Coming to think of it, the last bag i bought was my Freitag Donna in Dec 2006. Followed by a Legacy wristlet in May 2007. And a lacy bag 'whose' handle just gave way :(

The Scent Of A Woman

Hi Earthlings, I just returned home from Tango milonga (party) that was more like a practica. Needless to say, the ball of my feet's very tired and all i wish for is a foot massage and some extra service before hitting the sack. I've not been practising for awhile and its akin to starting all over again. The balance, getting used to the fatigue, feeling the man's lead, etc.
Jack pointed that i should allow the man to fully pivot me before i move, lest i react to the lead and lean backwards and loose my balance(again). Simple truth. But my basics? Cannot make it.

Much as i lamented bout being tossed around, I couldnt thank J enough for all the fun he and the others brought tonight. Being tossed around sounds like prata (yes you heard my stomach rumbling), but it suits me just fine-FAT. What am i saying.. Beats me.

Anyways.

I cant wait for Sunday's practica. I want to practise practise practise and practise a choreograph C found over YouTube.

As for now, i think its time to log out for today. Counting down: 01 day to the start of my next work chapter. Cheers to Chance and myself. Chance smells awesome (especially on a chauvinist). I cant wait to spritz it on on the 20th!




In case you're trying to date me, here's my schedule for your easy reference. Appointments given on a first come first served basis. Priority, however, given to certain significant (subjective) personnels. If there are last minute change of plans, I will not be legally bounded by you as you have no common law rights, much less a remedy. This is due to our agreement that is of social nature. Hence, the presumption is that there is no intention that the parties intended to be legally bound, however, this presumtion can be rebutted.

Leisure Dive Photo Entry

I attended lectures on Commercial Law during this intensive school week. The introductory lecture on Mon was a total turn off with CIare mumbling on bout the history of law. However, Tues-Thurs's lectures sparked poignant interest. These 3 days basically pointed that cases that seem morally right to a lay-persons eye can/will be subjected to a case-with leeway for rebuttal, of cause. Comm Law has brought much apprehension. Thing is, i'm very used to presenting my thoughts in point form, be it polytechnic days or in writing clinical notes. Yet commercial law questions that cost 5 marks need bout 1/2 a page of writing in passages-now you see why i'm a lil worried. Dont worry bout me-I'll just need to get used to structuring law advises. :)

Anyways. Here's a really random quote, "A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man, and takes a grain of salt with everything he says to her."

Work starts this coming Sunday, and i thought i should give myself (another) dive treat. Last weekend(12-13th June) was one of overflowing bon mots, heart to heart talks, laughters and creative sessions. Procrastinator The Great has finally decided to save down-sized photos from the social networking site, FB, and provide you with a brief an update of my exciting life.

Disclaimer: The following is solely the thoughts of an ignorant personnel. In case you're thinking of holding me liable for any part of the following clause, i need to let you know that you, having chanced upon my blog becomes part of my social circle. Hence, the presumption is that there is no intention that the parties, you and me, be legally bound. Residue from comm law today.


During the last trip in June, these kittens were housed in a carton and could barely open their eyes. Look how much they've grown!

Hall Of Fame for chasing a Titan triggerfish. "This fish is so big, and ugly(to us, from far).. Must take photo!" Actually, we were ignorant of its beauty and ferociousness! Luckily we were well taken care of by... I've never seen people finning so quickly underwater. Teeheehee. (They gave chase when my buddy didnt respond to their 'Danger Call'.)

Partners in crime.


"Smell it smell it now take it" (Caught in the act again.)
