Polo Good Bye
This may be the last time I'm gonna see this car. It's been with us for 10 whole good years and still looks good as new. How special it is to my family! It served its function well, sending us to school on time and allowing us to go on our weekly family meals. When I started to drive, I loved to speed while changing the manual gear. I felt totally in control. With an open top that we seldom use due to the blazing sun and a petite size to allowing zipping into tight corners, it was unlike any other vehicle. Totally one of its kind. Doubt you can find another with such unique features and reliability anymore. You have served us well... may you find a better owner overseas should you get exported or rest in peace should you find yourself in shambles at the junkyard. We will miss you.

Jap Fever
Just hosted 7 Japanese medical students from Juntendo University. They came to SEA to learn about infectious diseases... so they went to Thailand for about 9 days and came to Singapore for 2 days. It was really too short cos there were just too many things to do in such a short time. So we had to improvise and make changes along the way.
I fell sick the day before they arrived. Felt the slight inflammation at the oropharynx and i knew what i was in for. URTI! (Upper Respiratory Tract Infection) Shit man... somehow I always get it... and what better time to get this. crap. Usually I'll wait until it's really bad before I see a Dr, but i decided to try to get better before the Jappies came. So I chionged to UHWC but only got cough syrup and flu med, no antibiotics. Thru experience, I knew I'd never get better w/o antibiotics so at night, I decided to go to my own Dr.
So armed with my antibiotics, I though I'd get better... but it only got worse as the days progressed. Didn't help that I wouldn't get much rest.
So when the Jappies arrived at Changi Airport... we introduced ourselves to them. It definitely helped that the M3s were around cos they knew all of them. We took a group photo which was going to be developed and given to them in personalised photo frames. They look a little worn out.. cos they woke up really early (4 am)to get to the airport. Well.. no choice.. we still planned a long day for them cos there was so little time. They can rest back in Japan!
We brought them to Changi Village to try hawker food. Nasi Lemak, Wanton Mee, Rojak, Char Kway Teow, Carrot cake, Hokkien Mee. They tried it all. Oh no... just remembered that we forgot to let them try CHICKEN RICE!!!! anyway... they ate very little. we had so much food left! Just had to force myself to eat even tho i was sick. Oh and they were not too keen on spicy food. Only one of them, Yuka, could take chilli. It was then we started faking them. We told them that there were worms in Chin Chow... and they believed it. Hahaha... should have seen the expressions on their faces! They are so dramatic in a cute way...
Sentosa was a blazing oven! It was uber hot! Crazy... so we decided not to head to the beach first. We allowed them to go to Underwater World and see marine creatures which are not even native to Singapore. We just got Huimin to go with them cos there was no need for all of us to pay and see touristy places of interest. Then our organisation got a bit screwed up. After we were done, we wanted to rent a ball at sunset bay and play near there. But there was no net and we din wanna pay 5 bucks per person. So we walked here n there in the heat before finally deciding to play at the volleyball net at the other end of siloso beach near Shangri-la. By then, everyone was super thirsty and tired. tbc

Lessons begin tmr! sianz.... :( i like school for the friends, cos i can see them, hang out with them and do fun stuff with them. since orientation and float prep, i didn't need lessons to see my friends so it was great. now that lessons are starting and lasting til late into the day, it means more stressful times and less fun with friends. sigh.. can't imagine the day when i graduate and sch will completely be a thing of the past. argh.... how fun sch days are. hope they will last as long as they can...
Float came to an end on Saturday. After 2 weeks of practice and building, the float and dance came together to showcase a scintillating performance. It's the first time after 6 years that Medicine has decided to build a float. Since the seniors who had the experience of float building have long graduated to become MOs and registrars... we are left on our own to build the float from scratch. Did ya know that Medicine had been winning float for years in a row in the past? Well... it certainly was not going to be easy to live up to the legacy... so we did not win. but it was an experience that was not going to be forgotten in a long time.
Float building was an uphill task. Many did not want to waste their holidays to stay in school building float. Those who did were the committee members... many of whom were from the logistics comm for Medicamp. I've to take my hats off them and salute them. They have all my respect cos they sacrificed so much... even when nobody helped, they persevered to stay late into the night sewing costumes, sawing wood and glueing cans. I don't think they had much rest. Kudos to Janice, Susan, Dave, Alvin, Chris and all who put in so much sweat, blood, tears and time into float!!
Dance prep began quite early when the ics came together to choreograph the dance. Being in Dance Blast certainly helped Qing Yuan and Liana choreo many of the hip hop moves.. Lynn helped with the stunts choreo while Amelia did the jazz/ballet moves. I only helped with stunt demo which was not significant cos many of the M1s were actually cheerleaders in the past so they definitely had much more experience than i do. Many a time, i didn't even know how to correct their mistakes. only thru trial and error that the dancer all learnt how to perfect their moves. Was really proud of them!
They did a great job on tuesday performing for the public. It was certainly a good experience as it served the purpose of Rag n Flag... Treating the public to rag performance after buying flags. An unfortunate mishap happened during one of the 3 performances. As the performance area at KKH was very small, Lynnette unfortunately got kicked in the eye by Lijia during a stunt. She left for check up and even managed to return to perform in the last performance. I really admire her spirit and professionalism.
Dance had a dramatic turn on the final night. Shan't go into details but eventually, it ended on a peaceful note. It all seemed right from a drama serial or something.. the first i've ever experienced. Hopefully, i won't ever gonna experience it again. yepz so... we put on horrible total face paint. i've got to say... the make up was totally like last year's... curly wurlies, just that the complete first paint made us look really satanic. thought the make up during the public performance was much better. Since i was the stunt man for 2 stunts, being on stage for a total of less than 30 secs, I still had to have a costume and full face make up! grrrr....
This year, fortunately for us, we were the 3rd fac to perform... so we didn't have to wait for ages in the hot sun. Also, there was a tentage with oscillating fans, so it made the wait more bearable. I couldn't see how the dance went, have to see the video to find out, but heard that it went really well!!!! Great job dancers!

I'm really proud of the float performers cos they are doing so well! All of them are doing all the moves in sync and putting so much effort into each rehearsal that i'm touched by them. It's great how in just a little more than 1 week and a few hours each day, the dancers can remember all their steps and put up such an exciting performance. Each time they rehearse, even a person with retarded psychomotor skills such as i do, feel like getting up on my feet and dancing with them. With just some fine tuning of their moves, i'm sure they can put up an interesting show for the public on 2nd Aug. Although the training is physically demanding and mentally taxing, the dancers are able to introduce smiles and laughter, thus putting the aches and fatigue at the back of their heads. That makes each session so enjoyable.
From lynnette and david's infectious laughter to lynn's mind-boggling analogies to our 'S-paper' stunts, you guys are simply hilarious. Hope all of you will be well-prepared to show everyone what you guys can achieve!
Apple Promo!
Anyone knows if there is a freshie who wants to buy an ibook or powerbook? Do tell me cos i wanna get the ipod offer! I'll be eternally grateful... Actually, I feel so cheated cos the apple notebooks are so cheap this year with much more added in. Compared to notebooks of other brands which cost more than $2400, you can get a decent apple ibook for $2000! I feel like selling my current ibook and topping up the difference to buy a new one. Anyone wants to buy my ibook? hahaha...

Woke up and resumed reading of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Oh man... I was glued to it and actually spent the whole day getting mesmerised by the adventures of Harry Potter. I was supposed to go to school to help out in the stunts but I couldn't even get myself into the bathroom to wash up or relief myself. Only when absolutely necessary did i pull away from the enthralling pages... but like an incredibly strong magnet.. it brought me back the moment i was free. His days in school seem so much fun with all the excitement over quidditch, trouble with teachers, spying and bitching about ppl and bgr. wow... but what's really sad was the death of the character. Shan't name the person lest anyone hasn't read it yet. Wonder how the story will go on... really want to see the end of Voldemort and hope it'd be a great ending to the Potter series. Actually, I've forgotten the story of the previous books as it's been too long... so when there are references to the past in this new book, I'm quite lost. Hmmm... I've always wanted to complete an entire series at one go such as watching Lord of the Rings at one go, watching star wars all at one go and now i wanna watch or read harry potter all at one go. Well... knowing me... all talk but no action. No resolve to do so. Bleargh!
Anyway... received a call from a pleasant lady at OSA! She brought good news that I've got a Type A room at PGP! Yay! Block 6 level 3 i think. She's such a darling unlike the man at OSA. I went down to OSA and filled up the 'room change' form. The guy who attended to me just told me to wait til Sep as there was nothing he could do. Thank goodness this nice lady replied my email and said she'll do all she can to help me before the 2nd week of August and if somehow she had forgotten, i should send an email to remind her. What a helpful soul! Ms Zuriah, you're the BEST!
Actually, it's when I've got Type A that I realised how expensive it is! Even with the subsidy from SAF it's still 70 bucks a week, times 18 which means 1260 a sem n about 2400 for the entire sch year! Oh man... that's painful for the wallet. Hmmm... maybe i'll save money n go to Type B in sem 2...
So with my new room, shall attempt to decorate it again. Though my creativity is severely lacking, I'm hoping to count on my trusted friends to help me do so. IKEA sale now on! so off i go to make my room habitable... shall get the frother lynn was talking about too, so i can make my own latte foam which i love so much!
