April babies
Happy belated birthday isaac! happy birthday liana!

Was a little apprehensive about going to muthu's curry. Celebrate birthday by eating indian food? Not my idea of a nice meal. Rich, horrible tasting, spicy, weird, yoghurty, curry indian food. eeewww. Still, we went ahead and marched on to muthu's.
A very modern, indian ambience. No weird coconut oil smell or other fragrance. Hmmm... ok so it looks fine. Huge spread of food with a myriad of colours. Red, green, white, yellow, orange, how colourful! So we took a long time choosing our food, confused by the names and colour.
Argh... brain not working already. Stomach filled with gas now. Can't describe properly. So all i shall say is, do not have preconceived biased ideas before experiencing it yourself.
Muthu's Curry Rating: 4 stars!!!
Great tasting indian food. Not too spicy. No weird, uncomfortable taste. Not too rich. Lovely Kashmir Naan. Loved my masala chicken. Even the most unusual dish- cheese cubes with spinach tasted not too bad. quite nice actually. free flow of briyani rice and papadum. Good service. Short of the full marks cos it's not exactly very cheap, most probably due to the place being newly renovated. And.... i'm having lotsa gas and a hot burning ass now! Still.. definitely worth the trouble! :)

Isaac's House
Heard so much about isaac's animal palace. Finally been there! He should hold educational tours for animal enthusiasts and be allowed to keep more than insects. Heard he used to have many other animals including tarantulas and scorpions, but some ass person complained to AVA or something and now they're no more. It's not like he tortures them, he knows all the species names, what they eat, where they're found and how they live. Just animal enthusiasts taking good care of animals. Oh well, i hope he can keep more. So i got my first hand experience with so many species of stick insects, leaf insects and fruit trees. Learnt alot from isaac. The stick insects are so cute!!! They hang and sway from side to side. They may look menacing with such long legs, but they're actually very tame. Such beautiful creatures with the features of their environment for convincing camouflage.

Besides the educational tour, we had birthday tiramisu made by lynn! how sweet of her to make it for us! as with all cakes and birthdays, cake smashing is always involved. target:liana koe smasher:zhongyang cameraman:wayne
hahaha... great video taken. would like to post it up, but it's too large a file. besides the wonderful cake smashing, there was even a cake attack on the cameraman by liana caught live on video. totally like blair witch!!! good thing i managed to escape from the cake smashers by protecting myself with cushions. wonderful birthday session ended by adjourning to lynn's house! On to lynn's....

Lynn's Abode
Beautifully painted room. Pink and Orange. Great combination. Absolutely delightful long study table extending the entire length of the room. I love long huge tables! A pity the table I have at PGP now is like 1/20 of the size. :( So spent the time looking through photos of young lynn and her friends and family. Watched funny videos of us taken at various other occasions too. laughed our asses off. went to daniel's blog to watch the mayahee fat man dance. Oh man, the song is playing in my head! ear worm.... go check it out- Mayahee So we were wondering... people are just damn boh liao taking funny videos of themselves and posting them online. Go look at the number of crap, hilarious videos found at kontraband.com. Crazy people with nothing better to do! Then... just as we about to leave lynn's house, one of us suggested videoing us dance like the fat man. argh... we've become the boh liao ppl. Totally hilarious fat man dance done by all of us in unison! At the end of it we were totally exhausted! It was fun! hahahaha... too bad the video's 30 mb and too large to post online. ok here's a small 9s clip from the video we took... not sure if i've enough bandwidth left for this month...

SCREWED
I've not been more sure that i'll get viva and i did.
Now, I'm even more sure that it'll be sup.
i was beleaguered..
started with why didn't i do well?
then came down syndrome. shit why didn't i confirm the answer for that. thought i was right. turned out i was wrong.
started on the wrong note. and went downhill all the way.
sorry. i dunno. sorry. i dunno. think i said it so many times.
could ans the other questions related to the paper. then they asked more in depth stuff. gone case. sigh... i could answer the questions posed to sam and cheng yu. i studied for those! know them back of my hand! but they didn't ask me.
once u trip on the first one.. they know your weak point and capitalise on it. they made sure there is no recovering. at least for me.
so how do u study?
so u conc on physio and anat?
did u have enough time in the exam?
why are your ans so superficial in the paper?
how long before u knew u had vivas?
why didn't u prepare for this interview?

so encouraging...
well... guess it's no harm studying again to know my stuff better.
just sian and horrible when everyone's having fun.

huo bu dan xing.
wish things would pick up and become better.

Thanks for all the encouragement!
I can do it! I know my stuff!!!!
argh....
ok feel so motivated to go back to my books now.
must impress.

viva la viva voce!

watched this with bridge today. advertised as a romantic comedy. DEFINITELY not what i would define as romantic. interesting... but not a captivating storyline. about a british couple. the fat wife joining a sumo wrestling secret society to fight the prejudice and stigma of being fat, while the husband entirely convinced that his wife's new shady activities show signs that she is taken over by aliens. thought the funniest part was the nicknames of the female sumo wrestlers.
priestess sea cow, priestess woolly mammoth, priestess white jellyfish. i guess it's funny cos it kinda suits their image.
oh well.. watch it if u've nothing better to watch.
rating: 2 nachos!

Chinatown!

chinatown
Originally uploaded by dehanh.

Thought it was supposed to be a S03K outing with amanda, jasper and jian yang. in the end, jian yang had a hot dance date with agnes. so it was jasper and the 3 shoppaholics! the 3 girls went on a shopping spree and spent almost 200 bucks each.. oh man... i definitely cannot bear to spend so much money at once. if i ever did that, it's either i'm really down and need major retail therapy or i've suddenly become the finance minister.

so i was late... as usual. and was led into a wild goose chase. first i went to chinatown point, but they changed venue cos the food place was closed. n it was changed to lucky chinatown. i din know where it was so i crossed the road to see what's the building across. realised it was people's park complex... and lucky chinatown was actually on the same side of the road i came from. so grrrrr... in the hot sweltering weather... i climbed the overhead bridge and entered the air-conditioned lucky chinatown with much relief. only to realise there is no food place there!!!

finally realised... it was at the chinatown complex with the hawker centre at the 2nd floor, the cheap cds on the grnd floor and the wet market at the basement. good thing i know my way around chinatown. chinatown certainly brings back great memories. the austrian sausages. the cooling sweet coconut. yummy!

so we had a food feast at the hawker centre. sinfully oily fried dumplings, followed by grease laden chwee kueh and ended off with 2 huge claypots of rice! jasper with his new goatee ala pierre png look was the chief stirrer. mixing and stirring the rice so that we can have even black sauce rice. turned out great! thought we couldn't finish the huge pots of rice but the 'fan tong' me supped all the rice up so there was nothing but the chao ta crispy rice left stuck to the sides of the pot. everyone was too health conscious to eat the carcinogenic burnt rice... hahaha... medical students.

suddenly, liana came up with the idea of 'zhong ji mi ma'. oh no... bad memories. the one who guesses the chosen number has to eat up the super salty salted fish on its own!!! argh... and lynn had to remind us that eating too much salted fish causes nasopharyngeal cancer. so the record stands at
amanda -2
me -2
liana -1
lynn -1
jasper -1
hahaha... but i think jasper ate the largest last salted fish there was! so without water and rice left... he was suffering until the sweet coconut juice came to the rescue... hahaha.

guess what... i saw the lady i gave 10 bucks to at the hawker centre! she had a tall lady in tow... looked like her mother and she definitely looked healthy and well. sigh... still hoped she was telling the truth.

so we ended the day just sitting down, slacking and then strolling down kadayanallur st. if you think that's in little india..... NO! it's actually in chinatown.

i suppose lynn, jasper and liana's blog should have more interesting accounts and more photos!

chinatown.... great place....

Hospital Visit
accompanied grandma to visit the orthopedic at nuh. you see when you become a med student, you become like the bao ka liao for anything medically related. medical reports, prescriptions, medical news, you'll be asked to take a look. so thinking i'll understand better, i'm sent to be the latin/medical translator for grandma. she had a femur head replacement done due to a fall in canada and now she's complaining of pain down her anterior part of the thigh. ya so we went in and saw this malay doctor, who didn't look like a doctor, cos his dressing looked so sloppy. i thought he was a plaster maker or something, until i saw his tag- honarary fellow. well.. this fellow definitely doesn't look honarable. he was doing everything so slowly!!!! it was as if he din know anything... writing a few lines on the report was so difficult. he totally didn't know what's going on. fortunately, a bald rotund doctor came in and started doing things more professionally. immediately, he could give an initial diagnosis of the problem. no surprise... since dr w wang is a consultant. good thing we had him!

she had to go get an xray done before returning to see him again. some usher came along and said can you ask your mother to go change into the gown. i was like, 'WHAT? do i look old or does my grandma look young?' i think it's the latter. my grandma's 74 but she dyed her hair black. so with good skin she looks just in her late fifties.
so out came a toothy radiographer to bring my grandman in. renjun's sis and bro-in-law are radiographers, and he mentioned that it was a damn slack job. i could see why! you just come out, grab a patient in, zap him with some radioactive rays, develop the film and the cycle repeats. it's so brainless!!! ya so we returned with the film and waited. and waited. and waited. and waited somemore. i think in the midst of waiting, i fell into deep sleep and woke up a few times. and did anyone tell us we had to wait til all the patients are seen before it's our turn? no.... we just waited for 3 hours like fools. they should have slotted us in so that no patient has to wait like a max duration of time. and we were to see the slow malay doc again.

he took a look at the xray... didn't know what to do! wonder what does honarary fellow mean? can i get one now? he had to ask dr wang. and dr wang explained all that was going on. my grandma mentioned that i was a med student. n he said good... we can have further discussion. ya so after bladity blahs and yakkity yaks, with the malay doc giving a few insignificant comments, there was nothing we could do unless the pain was too excruciating and dr wang would have to replace the lousy canadian model.

'waive the fee.' the malay doc was like huh? 'waive the fee, you know...' and dr wang rubbed his fingers (sign for money). the malay doc gave a blank look... dr wang repeated so many times that he was pissed off, just took the form and ticked off a box and asked him to sign. such a thick skulled dr. hahaha... ya so dr wang was so nice!!! he said... relatives of professionals don't have to pay professional fees. wow!!! thanks! and i'm just a med student not even a professional yet.

so yet another adventure in the medical field.

here's what maney lioney rabblion sent me.
a video of what some of her friends do when they're bored... so evil!

tu me manques, pourpre.

What a game!
Real Madrid vs Barcelona
4-2
loved to see the blinding run by carlos, outrunning the defender to cross for raul to slide the ball past the keeper!

norwich deserved its win against man u too! how can they win only 3 matches all season when they played this well?

as usual, any arsenal game is fun to watch. they won only by a slim margin of 1-0 vs boro cos boro packed the defence, which proved to be their downfall. having too many people in the box will only lead to more chances for deflection. as in this case, a deflection falls into the path of pires for him to fire home!!! love arsenal's flowing soccer!

so 3 games over the weekend. don't think i've watch so many soccer games in months! hope they will come to good use for tmr's soccer friendly.

sigh... my liverpool squandered its chance to go above everton by losing to man city. how low will l'pool go??? grrrr...

Firecrackers!
Went to malaysia for qingming today. had to wake up really early to reach the graveyard by 7am. as usual, i just stood by the side while the rest paid respects to my grandma and great grandma. no joss sticks for me..

well.. though i din really participate in the qingming, i did join in the firecracker lighting. my uncle sold firecrackers together with ba kwa during cny and he still had a lot of them left so he brought them along. and wow... it was fun! ok although i've never seen firecrackers live since we live in safe singapore, i wasn't too enthusiastic initially. didn't know if it was safe. heard of all the stories of ppl getting burnt and severly injured.

but dad took all the firecrackers, lined them up and kept lighted them one after another. wow.. even dad is having fun! never seen this side of him, moving round shooting the firecrackers into the sky like he's like reliving his childhood.

so i crept up apprehensively took the joss stick and tried lighting the wick. after many tries, 'boom!' the black rocket shot to the sky, reached its peak and ended its run with an even louder explosion. totally impressed! i'm actually getting first hand experience playing with firecrackers... occasionally, the rocket got stuck and exploded in the ground, giving off a shockwave that sent your skin rippling. scary... my bro almost killed someone too when his lighted rocket fell parallel to the ground. fortunately, it shot nobody but the explosion left a hole in my great grandma's grave!!!! so much for resting in peace. besides these mini black and red rockets, there was also the deafening long cny type red firecrackers hung from the tree.

wonder why everyone lights firecrackers during qingming? is there any significance? i don't know.. but i sure had fun playing with them!

Boeing Boeing
Great performance! I was highly entertained by the fast paced humorous play. it was a play about this man who lives a polygamous life, engaged to 3 beautiful air stewardess without each knowing the existence of the others. so as you would have guessed, the entire story revolves on how the man, bernard, keeps the fiancees from meeting one another. what i love most about the play was the different accents by ms SIA, ms JAL, ms CATHAY and the filipino maid. they were so authentic that they truly showed the cute manner a hong konger, a japanese, a singaporean and a filipino would speak english. jianhong and i liked the japanese and hong konger. but bridge could relate more to the singaporean cos it's so her!!! at the end of it, i'd say paying 30 bucks to be left in perpetual stitches was definitely worth it! highly recommended if u can even get tickets cos they're almost sold out!!!

so the rest of the time, just chit chatting with the 2. uninhibited crapping like in cambodia! ok la... maybe with some inhibition. ya anyway, i don't mind having another one soon. :) window shopping at raffles city was an eye opener. i've to say it's becoming my fav hangout place. wonder why i go orchard so often and totally neglected such a gem. thanks for the great time!

i got out of my room today!
went window shopping with cow.
the bad thing about window shopping is, i see so many nice things and i get infected by materialitis.
just wanna get all of them. but i won't. i can't. won't let myself succumb to the disease. i'll fight to the end.
well.. maybe i'll just succumb to the top man tie first? hahaha... shit. that must be the last n only manifesting symptom.
can't let the other symptoms emerge.

oh man... i'm piling on the calories! ate so much today, and all sinful food. went to eat my fav takopachi again! i could eat takopachi everyday and not get tired... hahaha.. went to relive sec n jc school day memories by eating the taka japanese fried egg noodles. gotta say it was terrible! definitely not worth the 3 bucks. just one bad experience and you'll just wanna swear off it. so never again to eat fried jap egg noodles. oh remember i used to eat okonomiyaki at the taka food court. jap cabbage pizza. loved it! sad it's no longer there. anyone knows where to get cheap okonomiyaki?

kerliang> well that's cos everyone's irritatingly humble. well if you don't believe how sure i am, you can find me in the library tmr morn :)

lynn>windsurfing? wait til i lose my blubber first la. so embarassing to surf topless with a permanent life buoy round your waist. u do solo strolls? i think i'm the only one who does that. u girls can't even have a meal or go to the toilet alone.. how do u do solo strolls?

manny>peter russell? sure.. just get your ipod or thumbdrive and plug it into my ibook. u'll def laugh your ass off! actually ryan seems the same height as seth? just that maybe marissa is a lil taller than him. oh summer is really short so seth looks taller. finished season 1 already! feel so lost now..

okie time for an hour and half of night jogging now... lose the buoy!

slept at four watching oc and i'm still not done.
oh man... their life is so exciting and complicated that it is as tempting as a rollercoaster ride. don't i wanna have a taste of their life? ya just be seth or ryan for a day or two. with cool parents (i think sandy's the coolest dad ever!), great wardrobe of clothes, huge mansion, sea view, a pool house, huge cars, hot friends and own room. yea... it can only be a dream. a wild one.

post-exam activities:
day 1
-pigging out at fratello's (staff club), had oxtail stew... wasn't the best... but any oxtail stew is better than no oxtail stew.
-having jasper, yauhong, renjun and jirong in my room watching the funny peter russell (he's hilarious! get the video from us and u'll know what i mean), the oc and tak giu video.
-rest of the night watching oc season 1 on my own

day 2
-solo stroll in orchard doing some self reflection
-borrowed books from orchard library
-ate lots of food which i haven't eaten in a while like my fav prawn takopachi! love the crunchy prawn and chewy inside
-idled my time away at starbucks, reading robin cook's seizure over a aromatic mug of latte and a fabulous bag of kettle chips
-decided to start studying this weekend cos vivas are next week!
-guess i'll be staying in my same room in pgp next sem with the allocation of my 3rd choice of student accommodation
-dunno if i got cheated or what... i got approached by this plump, limping, underdressed lady in outside lido claiming she has a diabetic mum and she has got no job. she needs money to buy porridge for her brother and mum. gave her 5 bucks but she requested for 8. so i just gave her 10. saw her getting money from 2 other guys later too. well i gave her money out of goodwill. whether she's a cheat or victim of circumstances, may God bless her.

day3
-no plans! but think i should stop being a social recluse and hang out with ppl... think i'll feel better this way
so before i start muggin this weekend... i'm free for any jioing, dating, eating, exercising on fri!

say hello to 2nd round of studying...
sigh...

This is it! God... please calm my nerves tmr. Help me remember all that i've studied. All the best everyone!

Totally DISTRACTED!

Are you Ready to Follow your Dreams?
HOw apt. Chanced upon an article 'the ridge- a nussu publication' talking about dreams. Here's an excerpt.

"I have a friend who wants to be a doctor. Intelligent and well-liked, mainly because of his friendly demeanour and amicable nature, this young man recently nailed an SAF scholarship to study Medicine in NUS. It looks like he is all set to achieve his goal. I asked him one day, why he wants to be a doctor? Was he inspired by the life-savers he has seen on television, or was he in awe of the revolutionary physicians that he read about in the papers? HIs answer took me by surprise: he actually wanted to be a professional tennis player, but his parents felt that the path he is on is the best one for him...."

Wow... Wonder who is that fellow colleague? Really would like to meet him to know how he copes with the stress and workload when his chosen path doesn't follow his dream. I can relate a little to him.

I finally remembered my dream! To be a travelling doctor. One who is able to see the world and goes around healing the sick. However, the path I've chosen can be justified by other less noble reasons. Well.. I need to consider the burden on my parents so I accepted the scholarship to ease one child off my poor dad's shoulders. So now.. it's three other children to support through uni. Next it's for the money.. leading my present life requires cash. Going out as frequent as I am doing now, hanging out with different friends certainly requires money. Guess my friends are all rich cos somehow they seem to be able to live the same or more lavish lifestyles than I do. Actually, the scholarship is no big deal cos there are many other more deserving people who declined it cos they would not want to sell their lives to the army. I see it as a way to survive for now.. and hopefully, through it I'll be able to live out my dream.

To see the world and heal the sick.

Sounds good eh? Haha... well just need to get it into my head so that it can motivate me to study harder. Study!

How Long More?
Wake me up when it's over.

Sometimes i wish there was more encouragement and concern than throwing me straight down to the brutal reality.

Dreams
Holding conversations with Y has always been thought provoking. Things which make you wanna pause, reflect and express your views.

"What is your Dream?"
"To try not to be a screwed up doctor.."
"That is not a Dream... that's a goal... a Dream is different."

What is a Dream?
The dictionary says,
1.A wild fancy or hope
2.Condition or achievement that is longed for; an aspiration

Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech on equality for blacks has spurred the civil rights movement in the United States. His people shared his views and through his charismatic speech, he inspired them to fight for their rights. Such that, now his dream can be almost said to be a reality. What powerful consequences someone's dream can have.

Dreams are things that you want in your life, what you truly love to do, your calling. Without dreams, your life would be a stand still, stagnant and dull. Dreams often push people beyond limits, as seen in mountaineer David Lim, who struggled to recover from a debilitating nervous disorder to resume mountain climbing as a partially disabled individual.

When you were young, have you ever been asked what is your dream? "I dream for world peace"; "I dream for a clean and green earth"; "I dream to be an astronaut!", are answers often heard from little young ones. Well.. mine was to be a pilot or a doctor.

So to be a doctor was a dream then and now it isn't? Just cos I'm in medical school now and it is soon to become reality so that is not considered a dream? Well... I guess to me it is no longer a dream cos it is not a wild fancy nor is it a powerful motivating factor in my life anymore. What is my dream then? To save countless people's lives? Or to have a comfortable happy family, with wonderful Mrs Diane Doctor, sweet Ms Daisy Doctor and sporty Master Dylan Doctor? I guess I'll have to come up with something to steer my life in the right direction.

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM?
Pursue your passion, Follow your dreams.

I miss you like the sky misses the birds
I miss you like a song without the words
And everyday away from you it hurts
Cuz I'm missing you like crazy
I miss you like the sun misses the day
I need you like the desert that needs the rain
And baby it's driving me insane
Cuz I'm missing you like crazy
I'm missing you like crazy

I'm dying! thought i can finish upper and lower limb in a day. but as of 12.18 am the next day, i'm still at upper limb. dunno what am i to do... if anyone has a way to remember stuff easily, anyway, anything, i'm willing to try! so worried about not being able to finish. trying to destress by blogging now.

i'm beginning to like church more. yesterday at youth fellowship, got to know a few more people and had a nice chat with them about selling my 12 years of my life to the army. however, my ailing memory is failing to allow me remember their names even after they've told me a dozen times. so far, i only remember sujun lao shi, jun neng, randy, david, ci en, yu en, trevor, velda and abigail. the rest... i'm still trying very hard!

today, cow's mum bought me another book! today is library Lord's day so the sermon was all about the benefits of reading. when i went with her to browse at the recommended books sold at the canteen, she purchased one of them on the spot and gave it to me! i was shocked once again! she has pulled this stunt on me twice already! but wow.. thanks aunty!
then as we sat in the canteen drinking our beverages, one lady came up and commented, "wah, this is your son ah?" she jokingly replied, "ya this is my half son." shocked me once again! luckily, i swallowed my coffee or i would have spitted out at the old lady in front of me. hahaha... oh man... enough surprises for today. if i'm cow's mum half son, then i'm cow's half brother which means i'm a half cow? i maybe born in yr of ox and am a taurus, but i definitely do not wanna be a half cow. hahaha... but then again, since aunty and uncle are so nice... i don't mind being their half son! hahahah...

hey everyone go watch russell peters videos online. he's an indian stand up comedian who cracks racist jokes about blacks (jamaicans),yellows (chinese), whites(canadians) and browns(himself). basically everyone la! i've one video of him. get from me if you want.
one of my favourite parts is how do you pronounce this african name? !xobile
it's *tock* bee lay. clicking your tongue on your hard palate. how cool is that? i'll call my son *click* han.

sel> ya ya... don't worry, i'm not disappointed. however, the other guys will be... *wink* have fun in naruwan! don't eat til you explode!

bang> eh... ok i'll change vocabulary now. no more asses for me. how about bless?

koey> ya david's songs are growing on me too! initially thought they weren't so good. i like catherine, ai wo hai shi ta, jiu shi ai ni and sweet hour of prayer. but there are crappy songs too like sula and lampa? what crappy names for fictitious characters! sounds a little vulgar too. don't really like ghost as well.

ok online tutorial for putting up songs on blogs.
*first you have to upload your song online. i use geocities. but you can use any other website that allows to put up files online. the only downside to geocities is there is limited bandwidth, so when too many people have gone to your blog others can't listen to the song for the rest of the day.
*after you've uploaded your song, click on it and copy the address.
*go to your template, insert this- EMBED src= "http://youraddresshere.mp3" width=25 height=25
autostart=true (enclose the above insert with <>)
*you can make it play over and over again by inserting loop=true after the autostart=true
*or hide the player by inserting hidden=true
so now you have your own music on your blog!

oh no... wasted day. was awaken by my mum's phone call at nine thirty. my mum will be bringing my aunt and cousin who just returned from canada to my room in 10 min! whoa... couldn't show them a dirty room right? jumped out of bed... brushed teeth and tried to clean up a little. then the phone rang again.... oh no... can't do much now... have to pick them up from the carpark. so i picked them up and gave my aunt a hug.. oh my! haven't seen her for so long and she has adopted an ah soh prc straight hair!! kept my comments to myself though... couldn't be rude to my senior right? hahaha... sigh in the end they helped me vacuumed and mopped my room.

kept falling asleep in the library. so i went home and watched the oc dvd hanboon lent me. oh man... they are addictive! told myself i'd watch only 1 episode ended up watching 5 in a row! n still have more than 20 more to go. i think i better hide them so i'll only watch them after pros. rich kids exciting life babes hunks. sounds too good to be true eh? wonder if there is really such a county.

oh man... my ex indian wife has rejected our invitation to go on our diving trip! she has decided to go with the honeys and toe to taiwan. even after half an hour of begging, cajoling, reverse psychology, self pity, she still decides to go with the girls. sorry guys... you all are not hunk enough. she didn't even think twice on making up her mind. better up your hunk factor by learning more dishes, be more gentlemanly, learn smooth talking and have cooler attitude. hold more food parties! so with no da sao or girls coming along, i quote her 'we'll be having unadulterated boy fun!'

rj>eh.. i was trying to save your face... why you shoot yourself in the ass?

bang>whoa finally you can! so your comp decided to upgrade itself ah?

zy>cos u were bloated with beer! not drinking ended up drinking the most...

liana>oh ya.. maybe we can hold the next potluck at your place! jade!~

lynn>ya we missed you! we were saying oh man.. we need lynn! she'll help us wipe the food up!

but just wanna say that i'm impressed by the food party at renjun's! din know it's a potluck session... so i turned up with no food but a bottle of thai rum called similan. in the end, there was too much food! typical chinese mentality. always get more food than necessary. got to say that i'm rather useless... the guys all can cook except me! no wonder they are attached and i'm not eh? so i better go learn a few dishes from my mama so that i can impress the girls! hahaha...

the entire party just reminded me of shows i see where a group of friends gather for a fabulous meal at someone's house, something like in naked chef. friends bring bottles of wine then chit chat, exchange tips on cooking, have a good meal and decide on the person who will whip up the next meal. wow... and we're actually doing it now! now... we have 2 da sao's already. the next time, will i have da saos for all of my buddies? hopefully so...

jasper, hunky, renjun and zhongyang. jia you!!! hopefully i'll see more da saos the next time.

chefs:
jasper-popiah
renjun-mozzarella cheese sausage, barbequed smoky mushroom and onion soup
zhongyang-fried rice
dickson-some italian tomato and foccacia bread
rachel-potato salad
jianbang-longan beancurd
amanda-roast chicken
yijun-cheese cake

our pbl class with sabrinah the secretary witch.
artist- isaac seow

finally! we've finished our last pbl. after so much changing and waiting and raging angers, we've gone thru a rather crappy pbl. the dr actually forgot about our lesson so he came in not knowing how pbl is conducted and what the case was about. oh well... we did go thru some physiology regarding kidney and heart and it was over! not that pbl is very lousy, it's just that holding it at alexandra hospital was an absolute disaster due to admin problems. well that's over... and hopefully that is the last of sabrinah the secretary witch.

the seminar room was like a fully equipped house. really nice place! sofas.. an entire kitchen, nice ass washing toilet bowls, waiting high chairs outside the toilet and computer room. it looked so comfortable that isaac went ransacking the kitchen and made himself a nice mug of coffee. only that it belonged to the cleaning lady! n she was unhappy that some crappy pseudo angmoh who can't spk mandarin for nuts stole her coffee! isaac then used his halting mandarin and replied.. i only took one sip, you may have it back! if i was the aunty i'd have slapped him that smuck ass.

so while waiting for the dr (he was forty five min late i think), we played pepsi cola at the large carpetted area. wah... the last time i played was maybe pri sch? so the only ones who had an actual childhood played(daniel, wayne, isaac and i). the rest just sat and watched. sigh.. anyway.. we came up with so many stances whether attacking or defending. isaac had the flying helicopter kicks, daniel had the clamping leg technique, wayne and his si jiao cao tian(4 limbs in the sky) defense move and me with eagle spreads his wings defense. haha.. shit man. really damn fun!

ended off with taupoking chris ho. don't you see chris ho so fair and flabby, easily bullied. oh man... he still has his canoeist genes in him. bloody strong! i was supposed to pin him down but he immediately went into fetal position so in the end i held the most weight from the taupoking. wah... looks like he had lotsa experience. must have been taupoked lotsa times in canoeing last time... know how to defend against already. nvm... next time we'll get jianhong to pin you down!

ok ended off the day with dinner. the food was ok la. got a good laugh from 'dunno how to tie hair's' uniform and the photo in the digicam. felt damn stupid cos i suddenly cannot remember lotsa stuff and just forgot how to put what i want to say into words. there's just something wrong with me. totally screwed up. well just blame it on head trauma from rugby then :) . early alzheimer's? shit man.. touch wood.

tmr's play day! soccer then party at renjun's! so must have late night tonight. going to jog then finish up protein metab now! pls scold me if i didn't finish protein.

Wa Jie by Jay Chou
heard the song at my ushering event. it's really very nice! but too bad the lyrics are too chim for me to remember. Uploaded the jay chou version just for you. so click on the link just below sweet hour of prayer and go file>save as.. to save it into your com!

i'm dumbo the sniffling elephant. my nose feels so ticklish that it's as if i've a feather up my nose. the ticklish sensation is going up the nasolacrimal duct and smarting my eyes too! now.. i just wanna chop off my nose to tear out the 3 concha!

Paulaner's n Prego

0.5l of good stuff man. although it contributes to my round belly, it was quite good. got a little light headed and crazy. but from my craziness, i started a string of conversation which was eye opening. sigh... i'm the only one left. but it's ok... not too worried!

thanks lynn for the prego's lobang man. cos we took a trip down tonight and got ourselves a bunch of goodies. you are officially my makan informer! while waiting in line to buy the pastries, charming yau hong struck up a conversation with an indian lady and her family. their family is like those high class rich kind, so to go up to their level, hunky enunciated every word so well and spoke so perfectly! hahaha... the conversation was the funniest. the indian family and all of us began suaning bang about being so sweet and nice to his gf and how we should all learn from him. hahaha... ya i think we really should! wish i had someone who does nice stuff for me too. :)

can't wait for wed! jasper remember to bring howl's moving castle besides your bang guang!

shall add chatterbox with tag board. wanna see which one is better. although tag board failed me the whole of last week, it has been quite faithful and useful on the job. so i shall not reject it totally cos of a minor setback. chatterbox will assist tag board and i'll see which is better.

hey everybody! those who wanna get your hands on apple products esp the most coveted ipod, ipod mini and ipod shuffle, don't purchase it at the public price. go online and get it cos it's cheaper and there is free shipping and free laser engraving! tertiary students will get educational discounts when you purchase mac products. so don't be silly and pay that little bit extra. go to www.apple.com.sg then education. this is where you can purchase a 6gb mini for 400 bucks. so go think and compare prices before purchasing!

hitch was fantastic! had a good laugh. really glad that one of my few play day outings before exams turned out well. thank god! thanks for helping me not have severe diarrhea too. only mild one with a burning ass. thanks! :)

heard that genevieve saw ruien the other day, so i thought today would be a good day too, and brought along my camera so that the moment i see her i'll go ask her for a photo or no. she's so cute! jasper's linda from chase is not bad too la. huge eyes with a little ptosis. so pretty! hahaha.. ok typing this while half asleep.

so good night! need to wake up early to organise ifg touch.

tubby> no. my belly is still there cos i pigged out even though i exercised.
eternal eyes> stay in hall la. i want a different experience. stay in pgp 2 sems already! so let's go hall...

Why is Tag-Board down??? irritating.. anyone knows an alternative to tagboard?

whole body aching from gym and running. thanks jasper for the company! we should do it more often to keep fit. i'm so going to be paralysed by aches tmr. argh...

It's finally over! CAs are over. but i'm not rejoicing. am disappointed with myself actually. what happened to me? why have i allowed myself to be in this state. where is the RAFFLESIAN SPIRIT of excellence? going to an exam only knowing the tip of the iceberg of syllabus is not what makes a doctor. you'll kill patients in the future, if you can even get that far! pull up those socks of yours. Lord please let me pick up myself and catch up with my batch mates!

FLABBERGASTED
shock of my life when i saw 8.57am on my watch. rubbed my eyes... thought i was in a dream. but NO! but wait... physio starts at 10 right? then again... it's at 9am! PHYSIO PAPER STARTS AT 9!
no time! jumped out of bed. grabbed my bag, bottle, matric card, cap and jacket and rushed to the bus stop!
Good thing bus frequency is high... how i appreciate living at PGP now... so ran all the way to COFM and planted my ass on the seat at 9.10am. my brain felt numb during the entire exam. must be the shock i received the moment i woke up.

MORAL of the story: when 2 alarms don't work, set 3.

1 down. 2 more to go. managed to pass biochem by guessing and eliminating chim looking answers. well actually i think most people passed. ya n in medicine, getting a pass is no big deal when everyone's so smart. it's crazy to know the bell shaped curve for grades is shifted so right that it can't be considered bell shaped anymore. sigh... so must work harder for pros, esp when it's essay, so no more guessing!

physio is one big headache. it's really fun to learn and understand and discuss. but when so many concepts and pathways are stored in the tiny brain of mine, they somehow get amalgated. well at least it's fun! i think it's the most fun subject. doing well is another matter. so whether it's Na-K ATPase or Na- H antiport protein. i'll just leave it to God.
Received a quote from dee.

Psalms 18:2- The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.

So find solace in God! Thanks denise!

dee dee(the one who posted the tag)> hahaha... case of mistaken identity! dee dee was meant to be denise. so i've 2 dee dees now? i think u just be hot spots la k? hahaha...

toe> so confident of physio eh? spent the whole afternoon online. hahaha... get back to work han sis!~

hb> just go view my source then put in your template. the song must be uploaded online first though. i use geocities to upload mine. sigh... can't listen to the song now. bandwidth taken up....

less than 12 hours to biochem paper already!
don't really care already. i'll do whatever i can now and pia right after CA! whoever wants to join me can find me at cubicle number 5, Medical Library ground floor.

dee dee> heya dee! can i add a link to your blog? thanks! hopefully i'll see ya after my CAs during outing.

qy> u evil man! the idea was formulated in the evil mind of yours and carried out by your sinister hands. so don't blame it on others!

buddy phua> hello mr phua! nice of you to drop by. thanks! good luck in your top secret training. haha..

sel> yes salt! hey the europe trip i think it's too big a group already. confirm got big group syndrome... waste lotsa time. so maybe i'll go next year? haha... feel like going for the indonesia tsunami relief thing.

ALL THE BEST FOR CAS!

anyone can hear the song i put up?

Difficult Fasting

2 days ago, wanted to discipline myself by fasting and praying but it was no easy experience. once every so often, liana and jirong will say that they are fasting. Now i truly know how difficult it is. I realised that usually in between meals, i would have snacks or pop candies into my mouth to tide me through. So during the fasting period, I kept thinking about food! My mouth was itching for something to put into it. Had to suppress it a little by drinking lots of water. Cephalic phase of GIT kept kicking in and gastric juices churned and swished in my empty stomach. I couldn't concentrate on studying at all! Wow.. if after missing 1 meal, i can feel like this, what about those who have no food elsewhere? So thank God for the bountiful food i have to make me this big. Should try it again with more prayer, to remind me how fortunate i am!

SEL= salt in french

Irritating salty qy really pissed me off! Had my dinner at coffee grounds and he added salt to my funghi soup w/o my knowledge! Drank it happily while i was engrossed in conversation. Only when i've nearly finished it then did he break the news. Grrr.. so post- prandially, my thirst centre was stimulated and i had to keep drinking water! my lips cracked and after the huge intake of water, i had to piss so much. Dunno how i managed to drink the salty liquid! Watch out QY! u and me will become enemies!!! hahaha... only after i pass my driving will i be nice to you the bad role model!

CA!

1 more day to CA. chiong sexual reproduction now! argh!!!!!

received news that i have a choice of doing a month of attachment instead of two. so i can have company when i go to europe now! however, more choices have opened and i'm put into another quandary. bridgette is inviting me to go to indonesia for tsunami restoration. i'm very tempted to go and that would put me back by 800 bucks. if i go ahead with the europe trip with friends, another 3000 would be gone. diving trip with windsurfing gang 500 bucks. so more spending of money when i'm earning a month less of pay. how how?

Shall try fasting tomorrow. Have never tried it before. I've eaten so much all my life that when i've stopped exercising, my belly is growing. not bad a belly actually... with long strands of hair to attempt to cover an otherwise naked surface. remember those days when i used to squeeze tummy into folds and see how many beef patties i could get in my hamburger belly. now he's back and piling on the patties, think the record now is four. patty no. 5 on the way. it doesn't help that the dean's office is having a buffet spread these 3 days and all of us can help ourselves to leftovers. they have not 1 meal but four meals a day!!! not sure if there was breakfast, but there was brunch, lunch, tea break and dinner! which is why i should fast tmr. it'll be hard on my first try... but it'll be good to train my discipline. fast and pray to make me a whole man. fast and pray to hold my belly growth.

ASS! CHEE KEN!!!
sianz....

ok i know now it's time to work hard. but i need to settle some leisure stuff too! lynn and gang are going to europe in late may while selene and hanboon are going to phuket right after pros. so now i've no kaki to go europe with!

i need to go right after pros like maybe 18 apr onwards so that i can come back by pdcp which is in mid may. can't go in june or july cos i've got army attachment. so ANYONE INTERESTED TO JOIN THE LONELY BOY? i don't mind subsidising a bit if i can find just 1 partner. deciding between free and easy and contiki travels. can get ticket to london for 698 ++ from contiki by this fri 4 mar. so anyone up for it?????

those who are borderline in studies like me, we can pia right after ca for the entire month!

FAILED.
jittery. nervous. unsettled. my nerves just got the better of me.
my lesson just before the test went smoothly. yet i mounted kerb, almost killed a motorcylist from oncoming traffic, slid down the slope a little, supposedly didn't look at my rear windscreen when parking (which i did) and dragged the gears too long, too slow in changing during the test. ass! when i mounted kerb in the circuit, it was OVER! what use was there to continue driving? so with nothing to lose, i was more relaxed and drove with little mistakes. But what use was there??? i've failed! Immediate failure! but huo bu dan xing. so i had to have 2 immediate failures!

it seems so normal for people to say, it's just a driving test. so many people have failed it. so why get so upset over it? ya sure... but it's just that i've never failed in any major exam or test in my life! small tests sure... but not any important ones. it's just so upsetting! it's not that i dunno how to drive. it's not that i've not prepared for it. in fact, so much money and time has been put into it. yet unsettled nerves just destroyed everything. pissed off and disappointed!

so sad me decided to go to west mall to find some solace and happiness. tried food therapy. ate ice cream. and other junk. didn't care about the money. now i know why depressed people sometimes stuff themselves with food. chocolate releases endorphins which make u a lil happy. warm food gives you the physical warmth when there is no human warmth (hug) needed to feel better. the food helped temporarily and my stomach was stuffed. couldn't find anyone to talk to. so decided to watch movie by myself. only one of 2 times that i've done so. CLOSER. thought it was a comedy. but no, it was some complicated screwed up love relationship among 4 individuals. so troubling. well at least there were good looking people in jude law and nathalie portman. portman is really hot! but quite indecent in the show cos she was a stripper. ya anyway although it was a disturbing show, i felt somewhat better. i now know i'm not the only one who watches movie by myself. there were a few other loners too! hahaha...

after that, went to chinatown to relive some nice memories. stuffed myself with food at food street. food therapy! stumbled into a cool looking shophouse bar called backstage bar which turned out to be the only gay bar in the area. the owner even asked if i was gay! shit man.... now i know a rainbow coloured flag is the symbol for gay. then went to the cheap cd shops at chinatown. bought stef sun and david tao cds for 12 bucks only! retail therapy! next went to the austrian sausage shop to get cheese knaukers from the cool angmoh owner who speaks singlish. exchanged banter with him enough to make me smile.

ended the depressing day with a kind heart. saw a lady having difficulty carrying a haversack and a baggage at buona vista. people with such baggages tend to be foreigners who stay on nus campus, so i offered to carry the baggage. turned out to be really heavy!!! she's a 3rd year arts student who just came back from an education conference in UAE and she had her diving gear which explained the damn heavy bag! been to an overseas conference myself so can relate to her exciting and fun experience. i don't mind going for another of such conferences, meeting international youths and exchanging views and having fun! and from how she described UAE, i don't mind considering it a holiday destination.

wow... what a day. feel much better now. after tonight, sleep therapy will round up and should cure me of my disappointment.

boy! has she become prettier! glad i took the break.

driving practical test tmr! wimble womble wobble...

Dedicated to deranged cow.
This is what you get when a cow is too sensitive to touch.

just came back from ucc ushering. not bad a play by temasek hall. funny and intriguing. can't believe the 2 better hall plays i've watched are free while the only other paid one was a disaster. well... benefits of ushering at ucc. besides watching the play, i got to know a few of my fellow ushers better. real jokers! oh and one of them, an rj senior doing lit reminds me of jiayan! hahaha... it's because of them that my yet another unproductive day didn't end on a sad note.

actually, my wasting of time is pissing me off real bad. i'm either sleeping or wasting time doing stupid stuff which can be done some other time. maybe it includes blogging too. sigh... but my day didn't start on a bad note. in fact, it started wonderfully and i thought it'd be a great day. i was wrong.

thanks to cow's mum for getting me a english-chinese bible. was chatting to cow's dad when i received the gift. i was pleasantly surprised! your folks are really nice chaps afterall. suddenly i feel so loved in church. ok i shld consider treating cow a lil nicer since your folks are so nice. hahaha...

now to end the day on a good note... please let me stay up til late to study! i must be able to answer all of fatty ng's questions tmr!

went for my 2nd mandarin youth fellowship. thank god for allowing me find a friend in the same church as i am. before that i was lonely and knew nobody, ok i knew my team mate but not very close to him so not much difference. ya the only prob is... cow is in mandarin service n i seldom speak and listen to mandarin. anyway.. i found that mandarin service is actually easier to understand cos the message conveyed is put in simpler n more layman terms. at the english service, most of the time i was trying hard to decipher the bombastic vocab and complicated sentence structures that i lost the gist of the msg.

ya anyway... today's topic was bgr. quite an apt topic for people our age. it's the age when either u're in it and have some problems or when u don't have it and it's a problem. the speaker was very cute and animated esp when he gave examples and analogies. he gave his views on which age is best to have a relationship, why to have one, who shld have one and how to get one. most of his views are quite conservative which is not a bad thing in this too liberal society of ours where sex seems to be everywhere.

things i learnt:
only ppl who has strong spiritual foundation shld have a relaionship. that's when you're mature enough.
only find a like minded christian as your partner.
don't date too long lest physical temptations creep on you before marriage.

a few analogies which i like.
how after marriage, the simplest thing can cause heated arguments. for example, the husband likes to squeeze the toothpaste from the bottom while the wife likes to squeeze it from the top. so it needs understanding and hu xiang li rang to maintain a relationship.

why should your partner be a like minded christian? so that your core values of your lives are the same and it'll be easier to walk together in life. also if your partner is a non believer, he's like a person sitting down and you standing up. is it easier for the person to pull you down or you pull him up?

i guess i'm still weak spiritually. i need to pursue more enthusiastically. i've not read the entire bible before so i need to start to be more consistent. i need to pray everyday. hopefully, as i do i'll be mature enough to have a relationship.

pray hard cow... i'll pray for you too.

hawaii: found it! Acts 16:14

i finally succeeded as an alarm clock! i just couldn't fail on the 3rd time.

having pbls at alexandra hospital is pissing my group off. first of all, me, the grp leader has to liase with the AH secretary so as schedule new timings cos the doctors are not free and keep changing the time. having gone so much trouble in doing so, my grp members happily decide not to attend cos they think it's at a timing too inconvenient for them. how selfish of them esp one person! and today, they decide to do a mass ponning cos there wasn't lecture today and all the more reason to stay home. can't believe this! out of 12, only 7 turned up! and to reiterate the saying hao ren mei hao bao, the doctor goes on leave and we made a wasted trip to AH! it's perfectly fine for the doctor to go leave, but confirming with us and making us go down there and saying that he's not around is absolutely absurd! sabrinah, the secretary, is so inefficient! how could she not have known this?!!! instead of apologising to us or even feel a tinge of guilt, she goes ahead and scolds us (the guai ones who bother to go down) for the poor attendance. she even gives her own views on how medical students shld do consistent work and not wait til last min to mug for exams, so no excuse for not having pbl near the ca!. what a prick! as huren said, she's sabrinah the elderly witch! now, i have to schedule a new time for the next pbl session. if the other grps can condense 2 pbl sessions into 1, i don't see how we can't do the same. the AH STAFF are so inflexible and inconsiderate, unlike NUS staff. argh!!!!

can't wait for tmr!

troubling troubling troubling troubling.
slept at 3plus 4 but dont really feel that sleepy today.

felt really embarassed that i dunno my work in tut. external carotid supplies to the brain was what i said. can't believe i even said that. sigh... it calls for mugging! time to reduce whatever damage i can. 2 n a half weeks to ca and i haven't started studying. oh man... must turn on mugger mode.

things couldn't get any better. while i was still feeling terribly troubled, i had to bump my head on the roof as i alighted the bus. *plonk* i was so embarassed i just walked on pretending nothing happened.

then i did a few more daredevil stunts while driving again. still stalled the car a few times. swerved away from pedestrian and crazy vehicle. mounted kerb. knocking down pole while vertical parking. i would have failed a few times over. sigh...

so moody me always tries to put up a happy face. the best way to be happy is to help others be happy. smiling surely brightens up your friends' day.

things are getting better i think. thank you Lord. now i don't hide what i feel, i'll just say it. and hopefully through your graciousness, the problem will be solved in no time!

off to the study room!

thank you for the nice conversation. i'm glad it's cleared up. take your time to find the solution.
oh Lord, please make it right! thank You!

had a really fun v-day!!!

was restless the entire day during lessons in school. supposed to study in library then go for the swinging singles' party at jianhong's house.

ended up going to orchard with ah ngoh. the fun started when we got a lift from violet. thanks violet! her aunty's van is really cool! jasper n i sat at the back where there were so many cushions and soft toys enough to make the back of the van so comfortable. i wouldn't mind getting such a comfortable van in place of any high class automobile. the only prob was i got a little woozy and motion sick from all the turning and bumping as violet got lost getting to orchard! someone get her a gprs for her birthday!

anyway, great retail therapy for lonely boys without dates on v-day! was supposed to just accompany him to shop for shoes, but we ended up buying 3 shirts each! went to john little to find the pink valentino shirt yau hong was wearing today. saw that the shirts were so cheap that we spent hours trying on every shirt we saw. in the end, i settled on a green valentino and green stripey shirt while jas chose a blue valentino and a green tee. hahaha.. then we went on lamenting about us not having dates and that love was all around us. couples, roses and hearts were the theme for the day. they were infesting orchard!!! someone shld ban all of them from orchard.

being sour grapes and envious, we had to resort to flirting with 2 girls at heeren and got our complimentary heart-shaped red n pink balloons. who says 2 guys couldn't walk around with pink n red heart balloons hovering over our heads? hahaha... think everyone thought we were gay! then it was at heeren where we continued our shopping. bodyknits was on sale! n everything was pasar malam cheap. 50 n 70 % off selected items. so a t-shirt cost like less than 15 bucks. where could u find such prices? so we entered the fitting room 5 times, trying on almost every nice shirt! s, m, l, xl. red, blue, brown, black. we tried everything! the poor salesgirl must be wondering why she had to fold endless number of shirts on v-day. hahaha...

after that, rushed down to the airport to send gen off to her vet studies in australia. gave her a red heart balloon, took photos and charmed lil eurasian kids with my heart shaped balloons. so i ended up going home with no heart balloons... sigh.. anyway, at least i made a few children happy!

the highlight for the day was celebrating toh han's birthday in conjunction with the singles' party. taped her mouth up with duct tape to enjoy a wonderful period of silence, then blindfolded her as we led her to her birthday surprise. happy birthday toh han! n splash, she fell into the swimming pool. we couldn't let her off so easily right? so han boon smashed cake into her face! hahaha... well the suffering was all for a good cause as she was touched by the dkny watch that we got her! it must have been a memorable burfday for u toe!

visiting day!! quite a fun day today. went to visit my granduncles, grandaunts and great grand mother! yes i still have a great grand mother, how cool is that? she's going to be 100 soon i think, lost track of her age but she's still quite healthy. sat with her while she talked to me about stuff. i'm glad i know a bit of hainanese and hokkien which helped me a great deal when my relatives speak. ya she complained about my mum not bringing her along when she went to china, complained that she's so old and there is no meaning to live and that the maid refuses to let her drink her xo to improve her blood circulation for fear that she'll get drunk. hahaha... well i actually saw her tipsy side once when she stayed at my place. poured a lil too much alcohol and she started walking sideways!!! hahaha what a sight! oh man... sorry great grand ma, quite rude to laugh at you. anyway... have a great new year! hope you'll visit my house again.

actually heard the entire story of my family's close shave in phuket today. when i first returned and my mum told me the stories, i was quite indifferent. i was more interested in telling my side of the story in cambodia and all the fun i've had. it was only today, when she raconted the entire story to my uncle and aunt that i'm truly thankful to God that they escaped from the gallows of the tidal wave.

thank Lord for letting them stay at the diver's resort at Chalong bay, south east of Phuket and away from the full force of the tsunami. thank God for letting my bros and aunt be far out at sea on their way to snorkelling, where the wave was still small and not yet devastating. thank God for allowing my cousin and uncle to hide behind a rock when they went diving under the sea, and when the current washed them to the surface, they were safe from harm. thank God for keeping my entire family from harm during their stay at Phuket. you're the best!!

Happy New Year!
had the time of my life! woke up at eleven. visited my grandma's house downstairs. received my ang pows. then stoned and slept the entire afternoon away.

i think i can relate to children cos i think like them. i love to act like them and laugh like them. their innocence and pure hearts make them so adorable. my mum just told me that i can interact quite well with children.

in retrospect, i think i do. back in cambodia, i enjoyed playing with the children. being their swing or piggy backer. i'm not inhibited by how childish i look. i just act like them, play like them and have fun like them. seeing them give truly happy smiles is what makes it so enjoyable.

today, at my dad' boss' open house dinner. with the entire place swarming with adults, whom i don't really know what to say to, i felt uneasy n self conscious. to attempt to be sociable, i decided to pick up the nearest girl i saw. a cute girl dressed in pink. hahaha.. this 5 yr old is really intelligent and is not afraid of strangers. she readily opened up after my initial introductory questions. so rachel and i started discussing about ants on the tree, beautiful flowers in the garden, her shaven golden retriever lola, her birthday and the humming bird she saw. my size didn't scare her at all. n i'm glad it didn't. thank you rachel for the company in the uncomfortable setting!

i love children!!!!

1st time at new asia bar! real cool place with a fabulous view.

a rollercoaster ride i've taken today. the queasiness still remains.
my mind is happy that i've taken the ride but not my stomach and intestines.
i wished the 2 evils were not there, leaving only my mind n body.
to enjoy the ups and downs, without the pain and suffering.

i love to sms on my phone, to see the work of art i compose.
but when a button doesn't work, who can i approach?
to use the other buttons, a story can still be told.
but without the finishing touches, the excitement will not unfold.

mc sent this to me.
really cute! some parts a little gross though. have fun!
zhiji

failed as an alarm clock 2nd time in a row! gone were the days when i was an efficient and trustworthy alarm clock. i'm sorry!!! i can't fail on the 3rd time!!!

woke up late so didn't go for mandarin service. went for youth meeting instead. met many new ppl today and had fun getting to know them better. don't mind hanging out with them... now i know why old people still wanna hang out with youths... makes them feel younger!

drum banging is mind bogling. i've absolutely no rhythm n limbs coordination. i can't multi task let alone move my four limbs at different speeds at the same time. now i'm truly amazed how gerald could play the drums so well. ppl lend me your drums! i shall train n learn so that i can finally multi task!

star light. star bright. first star i see tonight. wish i may. wish i might. a shooting star to light the night.
wished for a shooting star. but i guess i could settle for a flickering one with a chick head attached! what a surprise! THANK YOU!

new asia bar was a cool place! 70 floors above the city, you could see the skyline and have an unobstructed view of the bright lights of the city. good place to chill out or club. do check it out!

wish i had a program or website for mac users to upload photos on blogs easily. so no photos from new asia bar from me. what a waste! the pictures of 2 pretty girls can't be viewed. what a difference when girls bother to dress up. for guys, well no difference so don't bother. ppl, do spend time to take a 2nd look at pancake or indian wife!

beleaguered from all sides. crazy ppl. stoppit before the hypothalamic temperature regulatory system breaks!

i'm more than a meanie. i'm above average.

buy me a spittoon so i can spit. buy me a spittoon so i can spit. cough cough the green man strains. gack gack the thick man resists. whoosh out he goes. swirling and swishing on the bumpy cushion. knocking and banging against hard white walls. expel expel expel the intruder. out you go sticky man! and forever do not return!

but his twin returns and a harder a cough n a harder a gack. oh please go away!


nonstop on radio! ~singapore has got 4 million ppl, 2 million are girls. subtract 1 million who are old, there are still 1 million young ones. how can your grandson not find a gf?~
excerpt from the movie i do i do.

should i or should i not? if i go ahead, things may go wrong. i may be wrong. i'm not even sure. think it is better to hold back until i am.
i've changed. i've learnt to have confidence and courage. but did it come with immaturity? or is this the real me? to be stone or be fun yet immature?

procrastination is my game. slacking is a bane. 5 more weeks to ca. can i learn to balance n manage my time?

congrats to bang! one foot in already. the other foot just needs you not to screw up. of course u won't. after all the salsa training, your feet should be sure and steady. those were the days, when we were complaining. now you've left jasper, yau hong and i to whine amongst ourselves. all the best!!!! you're the man!

xingning left for melbourne today. have fun studying there! wish i could go overseas too. anyone wants to go europe with me after professional exams?

i'm lazy to update my blog. what reason is there for me to put in entries each day? i think i'll just write entries when i actually get about doing some work.

anyway latest things that i've done:
went to cambodia and back alive.
slacking around too much
going out too much. wild wild wet, fisherman's village, ocean's twelve, cosy bay. what next? new asia bar?
went for mandarin church service.
attended commissioning parade.

aim for the moon, fall among the stars.
i'll treat you if i ever see a shooting star again.

Thank you victor for organising such a successful bbq @ ecp! i'm sure everyone had loads of fun.
it was a good crowd of about fifty people where everyone let their hair down after weeks of studying for the cas.
i think after friday's bbq, we would have known a few more people in med fac. i for one now know who is meng chon and andy and teresa marie. it's amazing how med fac is so small yet we don't even know half of m1. i hope through all these activities all of us can get to know each other better.

when i reached there i was dismayed by the turn out. i thought oh no, it would be a failure cos i only saw like 6 people max at the pits with no sign of bbq preparation. good thing it turned out that the early birds were actually cycling or rollerblading along east coast. when i came back from renting my own pair of blades, the food were already sizzling on the pit and people were chit chatting and helping themselves to the food.

it's comforting to know that there is the fun side of medicine besides academic pursuits. exchanging of lame comments, laughing at the burnt food the chefs bbqed (i think cooking should be left to the celebrity chefs - mark and dehan), spilling of drinks on bags and banging people into lamp posts with legs spread open were a few highlights. of course there were the lovey dovey couples who fed each other food, whoa how sweet of them! i think medicine should form more couples now that we have our 2nd couple from medicine. it'd be good for our declining birthrate in s'pore.

ok that summarises the bbq @ ecp. do check out the photos taken. bbq

the next outing is on mon 6th dec @ sentosa. think there will be lots of m1 and m2s going. so see you there!

Post CA1

Yay! it's finally over. 2 weeks of studying in the library and it's over! The exams didn't go too well but i'm just glad it's over. So now it's playing for a while and preparing for cambodia! Haven't had so much fun in a long time.
Right after exams, off we went to karaoke at partyworld. As sleazy a place as it can get, just reminds me of the malaysian hotel where we stayed during rugby tour where there were prostitutes and 'transies' hanging around in the dimly lit corners of the lobby. but it's the crowd that that we hang out with that counts right? getting all excited and crazy during the choruses with daniel was really fun. i think the best song rendition by us was the 'wayne yap, never give up!' song. it's so catchy and fun to see whiny wayne so pissed off. haha...

then it was the incredibles time! loved every moment of it! thought the pixar animators were great in giving each cartoon a unique character. ooooh... the hair looked so real too! the technology is really improving by leaps and bounds. i was really amused by all the weird objects elastigirl can transform herself into, esp when she became a boat with dash sprinting his ass off as the propeller. what a sight! i like dash's character best. loud, motor mouth, cool running style and ability to run on water made him so adorable! but i think the most shocking part was seeing the baby become evil! it's a demon baby! so young and it is able to change into a demon and a fireball? what bad influences it must have been exposed to.

anyway don't you agree the sheep in boundin' looks like middle sheep aka zhong yang?

i am going to abandon my com for the next 2 weeks cos i just realised that i need to complete a topic a day to barely finish studying for ca1. which is quite impossible considering that i'm really slow. so if you see me online tell me to get back to my books! all the best to the medics for the coming ca!!

bud>thanks bud! all the best for your a's too! what happened to your blog?
mandy>yay!!! saya tak cakap melayu. good!! we need to find more people! i think optimum number is 4.

a bientot dans deux semaines!

hey check out the links in the 'mes photos' section.
just uploaded a few.

oh get well soon rabblion!

anyone wants to go backpacking in europe next year?
i've to plan early cos i only have the 1st month as holiday. the 2 months before school starts it'll be attachments at hqmc.
we've to fit around the funny open book exam which is right smack in the middle of may. so anyone interested?
france and england will highly confirmed destinations. how about spain too?

think i'm getting my mood for studying back! Merci Dieu! although it's still quite slow. was very motivated to study, so when yahu hong suggested camping overnight at yih to study, i agreed immediately. somehow i wasn't sleepy when i was studying though there was a point when i felt really sian staring at the testis, scrotum and penis. yau hong on the other hand, kept dozing off, therefore we decided to sup at munchie monkey's.

my first time there and i'm amazed at the menu they serve. Related to the spageddies restaurant, it serves pasta, pizza, alochol and even escargot!!! i must try the escargot someday. ya so yau hong had to vienna's hotdog, while i was contented with my tuna and cheese foccacia. i would have very much preferred it to be mushroom and cheese foccacia, but tuna did just fine. the indian guy who served us looked really scary as he was quite big, had a beard(or moustache can't remember) and golden earrings. his voice was low and rough too, giving the impression of a gangster. in the end, he turned out to be quite friendly. when yau hong and i were brushing our teeth in the morning, he actually chatted with us. so one cannot judge someone too quickly!

we decided to take a hour nap and se lever at 4.15. but you know once we planted our heads on the sofa, it was over... the alarm couldn't wake us up. so we ended waking up 4 hours later and it was time to leave for lecture. what a night of studying!

word of advice: if you want to study at yih, make sure you bring more than a jacket. you need 2!!! wear pants if you can too cos they are out to freeZe you while you are mugging.

went to church today after absenting myself for months. it always feels good to be in the church. you'll feel calm, relaxed and your thoughts become clearer. however, i couldn't keep awake during the entire duration of the sermon. feel quite bad after. as usual, i don't know anybody in the church. so when my uncle talks to his many friends, i'd just stand in one corner or just let myself wander to look at the notice boards. danny's the only person i know there but he has his own group of youth fellowship friends so i'm often by myself. i'm thinking of finding another church. maybe i'll pop by to daniel's church soon since it's similar to my present conservative, fundamental one.

these days i'll reverting back to my introverted self. rugby changed me in the sense that i became louder and a little more 'wild'. now i'm inclined to just sit down at a table and not talk to my friends. i'll keep really quiet and just listen their crapping and jokes. of course i'll laugh along and comment here and there but i don't engage myself wholeheartedly in the conversation. another phase of life?

totally didn't do any work this weekend as usual. planned to finish tutorial and pbl but ended up sleeping the entire afternoon. very shiok! think i better get down to some work before je dors.

i think the best thing that happened today was the lunch treat from my brother. we lunched at an indonesian restaurant at bukit timah plaza which had a la carte buffet. the rendang, chilli sotong and fried ginger chicken were delicious! i think the best was the crispy golden chicken. it was so good that we ordered 3 baskets of it! i couldn't get enough of it. oh no i should have taken a photo of it!

my life needs some rejuvenation.

enculer! i just scratched my camera. there's a deep scratch on the front now. Salaud! L'oignon!

feeling damn tired after a slack session of soccer. my fitness doesn't even deserve to be called fitness. now i don't even feel like lifting my butt off the chair to go shower. my head feels tight, like someone is using a plastic bag trying to suffocate my brain. think a nice sleep will would cure this. but i can't. i know i must study but i just don't feel like it. i don't have any goals in life. i don't even see myself completing med school. did i make the right choice? even if i was wrong, i have no choice. unless i want to go db and carry sandbags.

i'm always procrastinating. i'm always complaining. whining seems like my past time. even i get tired of listening to my own complaints. give me or teach me how to find the solutions and i'll gladly stop! primary school was fine. secondary school was manageable. jc was problem ridden but i managed to squeeze through the narrow pores. will i be filtered at this stage? used to set goals like i want to get into ri, i want to get into rjc. in jc, it was kinda difficult to set a fixed goal as there are so many places to choose from. now it's even worse. where do i wanna go?

some people are blessed with beautiful brains. some beautiful faces. beautiful lives too.
my brain is ageing as fast as my face. my body is shifting to a lower gear too. how do i stop this ageing process? anti-oxidants?

now data takes 5 times as long to enter my hard disk. i may understand at the moment. but i'll forget soon after. my short term memory is failing too. i didn't use to forget friend's names. it's not long time friends whom i don't remember, it's the names of my recent friends that i sometimes can't even remember.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFCCCCCCCCCCCCCUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKKKKKK.


sorry qingyuan. shall rectify it soon. took so long to upload the pictures yet it doesn't work. maybe i'll just boycott shutterfly and use yahoo photos instead. oh does anyone know how to decrease the megapixels of the pictures so that the file size aren't too big?

my new home is the library.
where i eat, sleep, play, enjoy, freeze and mug.

been playing around with fx-7. shall put up the pictures soon.
ok think i should give it a name soon. any good ones?

35% 41% 60% 39%
in order of the fas i've taken. failed 3/4. 2 anat and 1 biochem. what am i to do?

anyone has the entire season of the o.c. 1? to download it from bit torrent, it takes 1265 days. by the time that is finished ryan would have married marissa. and my hair would hopefully be a beautiful mess like sandy's.

Let me introduce to you my babe!


sleek eh? so i'll be putting up more pictures of school, friends and stuff!
do be part of my gallery.

once again... it's been a long time. blogging is so not part of my life anymore. but suddenly thought of it, so i shall post an entry. too much has happened to put down in words. don't have the energy to do so anyway. now in med sch and it's not easy. have always been doing last min work all my life and now found out that i'll be murdered by this old habit of mine. too much new info everyday and leaving everything to a later date has caused a long train of confusion and doubts. brain is working too slowly; can't ingest and digest quick enough. priorities are misplaced. wrong state of mind. play. a little is good. but very addictive like drugs. quitting causes withdrawal symptoms. distractions are everywhere. difficult to focus. being a stone is not a solution. it will still get attacked by agents like wind and rain and sun and chemicals. hurdles. more like mountains. unable to climb without training. crawling gets you nowhere. lethargy. inertia. sloth. excuses! training can't commence. breathlessness and fatigue overcoming. the peak is so far. the final test. dig deep! determination. perseverance. dilligence. consistency. balance. agility. not mere words. put them into action. show everyone. the shark is far but its speed is fast. imminent danger lurking. maintain safety distance rather than fight straight on. swim hard. swim fast. hurry before the train leaves! leave. leave. leave.

it's been more than a month since the last post! kinda lost the passion to do up my blog. getting tired of the design but too lazy to renovate the blog. now most of my thoughts are faithfully written in my ocs journal. part of the motivation to cont. writing in this journal must be the blown up picture of liv tyler which i've pasted on the front cover.

much has happened since section field camp. will not be able to raconte all of it. so i'll just update what has happened recently. got into med at nus. received my lsa (med) too. so together with my other successful friends, dick and han boon, i'll be reporting to nee soon camp tommorow where hq medical corp is located. sadly left my platoon mates at foxtrot wing. it was a very enriching experience which started off as i led the platoon as cpc. much has happened and we've survived the tough times. things are going to be tougher but i'm sure all of us will be able to survive. we have matured and soon, we'll become leaders in our own field. now that i won't be going through army life with you hope that we'll still meet up some day and you can update me with some happenings in foxtrot wing.

i've met really wonderful new friends at foxtrot wing, people like kent, johnson, zhenxian, daniel seng, jun bin, zhifa, samson and my buddy for 2 terms, galvin phua! these people are really fun to be with and they add to the vibrancy of the wing. of course there are those dislikable and 'wayang' ones whom i will not mention. hope you guys will contribute to better the wing and not to its downfall.

the last week i spent at foxtrot was one of the best. had lots of fun playing frisbee and helping out in tug-of-war. hope you guys do well at the ocs carnival! passed all my tests and survived the boring lectures. and it all culminated to the finale, school happy hour! free flow of beer, kahlua, whiskey and coke. partying, dancing, laughing our heads off during the games and when zhenxian was drunk. oh man... what an experience! it was my second time that i got so high in my life. i was high but responsible enough to control my drinking. i think the highlight for me would be my participation in the games.
my platoon mates forced me to take part since it was my last week and i, already high at that time, sportingly took part. in retrospect, if i wasn't high i doubt i would have participated. the participants all stood at front, with some anxiety in us, as we didn't know what to expect. "the participants are to blow a balloon and the one who blows the biggest one wins. however, it isn't any ordinary balloon.. they are to use condoms!" with that, a roar erupted in the crowd. i was stunned! i've never done this in my life! as the others blew with such enthusiasm and vigour, i blew it cautiously and hestitantly. the air kept escaping and the lubricant was disgusting on the lips. my condom inflated and deflated, just as unsure as i was. a few pops of the condoms confirmed the disqualification of a few of the participants. when the final countdown began, i concentrated and tried to blow with all my might.... and i emerged as 1 of the 2 winners. haha... i can inflate a big condom! i can say with pride that i'm a 'condom blower champion'! haha.. with that victory also came a borders voucher card. and so ended a fabulous week.

not sure what's in stored for us tomorrow. hope it'll be fun!

came back from section field camp yesterday and it totally sucks! it was the most xiong field camp i've had. the section training was ok, quite fun doing fire movement and quick attack. but it was the ex. greensleeves which totally killed us. it is a controlled navigation exercise( followed by an instructor) and we were supposed to find 4 day check pts and 3 night ones. the freaking SAW was pissing me off because it was too long, trapping me together with the long roots of trees. the signal set is freaking heavy and causes us to get stuck in overhanging branches. and it didn't help that we have an instructor whom my entire section dislikes. ok shall not elaborate on him. *unsafe* the freaking tekong forest has so many hidden ant nests which can be activated anytime we are not careful, causing 'ant rain' to pour on us. the spiders are everywhere and the weather is so hot! had to tahan my heat rash for 3 freaking days! the feeling totally sucks. imagine the tingling feeling between pain and itch. imagine a million ants crawling on your back just beneath your skin such that you can do anything to them. imagine pins and needles prickling you. imagine red bumps on your body so dense, you thought you were born with red toad skin. even now i'm trying my best to resist the itch so badly. good thing it's getting better.

not all was bad about field camp. my section is bonding pretty well, esp. after ex. tenderfoot( uncontrolled navigation exercise). we had lots of fun 'going to holland' (hor lan), bitching about people, scolding the navigator when we seem to be lost and laughing our heads off about stuff which happened along the way. in the end, we found all our checkpts and were the 3rd section to return back to harbouring base. most impt thing is we could have fun and yet still complete our mission unlike in the other ex. when we were kept in a stranglehold and still could not finish the chkpts.

i am not looking forward to the other field camps.
