have not been blogging for a while now... sian man... I am still waiting for Nepean Hospital to confirm employment... had to go get chickenpox vaccine and chest X ray... so currently just biding my time at RSC and been getting all these one off assessments... hopefully they will confirm soon...
and I should be studying for the driving theory test now to go get my full license but all because of pong... she has now got me obsessed about Super Junior... seriously a week ago, when she was watching them, I was like oh my god! they are so ugly! and now a week later, I am the one obsessed about them... they are actually quite funny... totally hooked now, and all I can think of all the time are them... seriously I should NOT be obsessing over them (most of them are like younger than me) at this age... totally pong's fault!
was sick last week for a week, am blaming people at work for passing the virus to me and I passed the virus to pong and michelle by the end of the week... they were not impressed...
and the exciting thing to look forward to next month is... WE HAVE CONFIRMED GOING TO SHE CONCERT!!! I could not believe that they are actually coming to Sydney... prisy and I were actually talking about it last year after going to Jay Chou's concert and now it is really happening... will definitely update after the concert... hopefully I will be able to get good pictures...
hmm... today is Friday the 13th (random)

不想在这里了。。。
still no good news yet regarding my job hunting... still crossing my fingers and toes hoping that I can get a hospital based job soon...
well I am sure it is no longer news, but I am glad that Spain won the World Cup 2010, although I personally think that their games are boring, most of the games are 1-0 now I have to wait another 4 years to watch football...
pong is finally here, still settling into the pace of the life here... been invited to a baby shower next Sunday and Yochi is getting married at the end of the month... so this month my pockets are pretty empty...
currently considering if I should go to Cairns during birthday leave... hmm really depends on pong's timetable and the situation...
was quite annoyed on Friday... have another job interview at Nepean Hospital and hence requested for a few hours' leave and received an email from my Manager requesting that I try to schedule appointments outside of working hours and I was like WTH??!! did she even think before she emailed me cos I have no idea how to do that cos in case she did not notice, I work from 8am to 5pm so I can't think of how I should schedule the job interviews outside of working hours... I was so annoyed after reading the email and they have agreed to support me in the first place... the other mildly annoying thing was that I was not being told that my billing target would be increased until I was cc'ed into an email which she sent to the accounts dept... thanks for telling me...

CROss mY fiNgERs & tOEs...
WOW this 2010 World Cup has turned out to be quite a shocker!!! the big European countries are playing like crap and now both France (as a reminder, was 2nd at last World Cup) and Italy (the champions at last World Cup) are now out of the tournament, and England looks to be going out soon, Germany, Holland and Spain look to be doing well but then again who knows, but other than that, this World Cup looks like it's going to be a South American blockbuster, we have got Brazil, Portugal, Argentina doing really well and of course, you never know what to expect from South Korea and Japan... i was like, could the reason for the European countries performing like crap be partly bcos of the vuvuzela horns (the noise is affecting their play and concentration??!!) or the environment that they are in (it looks like it fluctuates between hot and cold) or simply bcos they are CRAP!! (let's not find excuses)... not sure who I will be supporting towards the end but I can say for sure that there are going to be more surprises coming...
onto the boring stuff, attended my first job interview after 1.5 years at Blacktown hospital, met Amelia there cos she has got a locum position there, I thought the interview went well, except I did not know what the quality improvement cycle was... apparently I should have learnt it at uni... hmm... certainly no recollection at all... applied for Westmead as well, and I am hoping to get the Westmead one just cos I am more familiar with the place... so cross my fingers and hopefully by the next entry, I will have some good news!!!

WInteR cHiLL...
my life at the moment only has 3 elements: Masterchef, World Cup and Work... very excited now that the world cup is finally here again but bcos of the weird hours in the morning, I am always having to record the matches and watching it after, which kind of takes the excitement and anticipation away cos I know the results already... so far the matches have not been really exciting maybe bcos it's still the first round... disappointed in England's first match against USA though, although I was quite pleased with South Korea's win over Greece... on the other hand, there are some really unknown countries who qualified for the World Cup and the good ones did not even qualify like Czech Republic, Sweden and one of the strange ones would be North Korea... I was like what the??!!
and the other much talked about topic in the World Cup is the constant buzzing of the horns which apparently are the local horns... i did not even notice it in the beginning but now that everybody is talking about it, I am like noticing it even more and it is very annoying...
still looking for hospital work currently and there did not seem to be any out there... am getting tired of the occ rehab scene... and really need change of scenery... so cross my fingers and toes, hopefully I will be able to find one soon...
yesterday was the june long weekend... met up with uncle andrew, his wife and friends for dinner at this pizza place at harbourside on Friday... did not really like the pizza, maybe due to the flavours picked, but I actually preferred the pizzas we ate at the italian place at Balmain... maybe also bcos they had the nutella pizza...
worked over the weekend and our initial plan was to head to hunter valley on Monday but uncle suggested that the traffic on the way back may be bad hence mich suggested going to cockatoo island for the biennale art exhibition instead... so we drove down to circular quay, and there was already a long queue for the free ferry to the island... it was quite boring actually, the island is actually an old prison and shipyard where the prisoners worked on the ships apparently... so we were there for approx an hour and we were queuing again for the free ferry ride back to circular quay when prisy actually spotted a big celebrity... EWAN MCGREGOR!!!! We were like no way... and nobody except us seemed to have recognised him... so we were queuing on the left hand side for the free ferry while his group decided to take the paid water taxi and we got an up close and personal look when he walked past us... so the 3 of us decided to pretend to want to go ask how much the water taxis cost and we actually got really close to him... but being mature adults, we did not burst into girly screams or whip out our cameras... we were really composed and after finding out that it was $10 each, we decided it was not worth it to pay that much to be in the same boat as him... hmm... I wonder if I would pay that price for maybe Mike He??
anyway, that was probably the highlight of our day really... and he was not even wearing sunglasses, he was dressed really casually and prisy said the woman and child walking beside him is his wife and kid...
after that, we went to have a browse around the museum of contemporary arts, and then headed to this place near the rocks for a fire water show and then to the night market at the rocks... there were alot of people hence that may be why it was not as cold... was exhausted by the time we headed back home... it was a very artsy day really, which probably would not be something I would choose to do...
back to monotonous life again... the next long weekend is not till October...

FOoTbALL feVEr Is BAcK...
nothing really much exciting to blog about this month... had to go all the way to Goulburn last week for an initial and workplace assessment and hence invited the "oldies" along... so while I was working hard, they proceeded on to Canberra for some sightseeing... it was freezing that day though...
winter's coming... starting to get cold and lethargic...
I have informed work that I am looking for another job preferably hospitals and they were actually really nice about it... i was actually worried about their response and even had dreams of this matter and even spoke to Nat about it... which was really helpful... so cross my fingers, I will find one soon and hopefully this time, somewhere closer to home...
i am really looking forward to June 2010... guess why?? 2010 World Cup, after 4 years of waiting, it's finally here again... and sydney is actually one of the countries/cities having an international fest for the whole period between june/july 2010... and I have confirmed that we will have access to all matches on free tv... yes!! this is definitely one of the benefits of Australia being in the world cup, although I am definitely still supporting England... weird hours though...

轻松的长周末。。。
anzac day long weekend...
decided to go on a roadtrip to Bathurst and Orange... began our drive early on Sat morning and arrived at Bathurst mid day... our first stop was Mount Panorama where the Bathurst 1000 is held annually?? you can actually drive up along the actual tracks up the mountain which is pretty cool...
next stop is our overnight accommodation at Bathurst... i have to say that I am not very impressed with the place... there was a smell and there were holes in the wall and the cottage looks really old...
compared to the place that huimin and I stayed over (can't remember the name of the town)... that was really nice and we actually paid the same price for this one...
next up we drove onto Orange which was approx an hours' drive... our first stop was Borrodell vineyard which is located atop a mountain and overlooking the place... it was really pretty but the next thing we knew... it started to pour... the rain was really heavy and we could not do anything as everything was pretty much outdoor activities... hence we decided to wait it out and have lunch first at subway...
by the time we finished lunch... the rain became a drizzle and we decided to visit our next location, Orange Botanic gardens... it stopped raining when we were on our way there but started to rain again when we arrived... i was really disappointed as I was sure that if it did not rain, it would be really pretty...
next stop was the Lake Canobolas reserve... luckily the rain stopped when we arrive and we were able to walk for abit and take some pics...
after that, we went back to the accommodation place for the night and hanged out playing mahjong and celebrity head... it was pouring again by the time we arrived at Bathurst and continued throughout the night...
next day... we decided to go take the zigzag railway but when we were almost there, there was roadblock as there apparently was an accident and we had to take a detour... luckily for us, when we got there an hour late for the 11:00am train, the train was still there and we managed to get on the train... i have to say it was ok... like once was enough, i would not want to go on it again... it was pretty expensive...
after that, we started our journey back home and got back in the afternoon... and went out for dinner at a jap place at eastwood recommended by Prisy... it was actually pretty good, this is probably the only place that i have been to which gives alot of unagi...
on monday, the weather actually cleared up and it was a really beautiful day... decided to go have lebanese bread at rockdale... and we proceeded to maroubra beach which was really pretty... took more pics... and we went to bondi junction for abit of shopping... then went to randwick for thai... did not really like the food though... and the highlight of my weekend... went to lindt cafe!! the iced chocolate is so yummy... i wish i could have it every day...
and now it's back to reality... looking forward to the next long weekend in June...

EAstEr WEekeNd...
it's the easter weekend this week... wow haven't had a week where I have 3 days off in a while... friday... went up to bilpin again for fruit and nut picking... too bad the apple farm did not have as good a harvest as the last year we went... apparently due to flying foxes... had to walk quite deep into the far to see a hint of apples... whereas it was a different story at the nut farm... plenty of chestnuts and walnuts and people really... at least it was good weather...
sat... worked at woolies... for some reason, they were closed on both friday and sunday this year which meant that I have more days off...
sun... brought nainai to manly... sat the ferry and the weather was really weird... on our way there, it was pouring and we were like should we not go today... and we decided to try our luck, which turned out to be the right decision, cos when we got to circular quay, the weather was great and there were so many people about... it was so crowded on the way to and from manly... walked to the operahouse and to the rocks... and guess what i had for dinner... after wanting to eat it for long... i finally got to eat at mamaks... as usual, the queue was already there when we arrived... but prisy and i managed to get a seat... and cos they only open at 5:30pm for dinner... we were one of the lucky ones... i have to say, the prata was not bad... the satay not really... we also had the tisu prata... oh lord... the amount of sugar on that thing was so bad... would i go back there again?? maybe... the thing was it was too expensive... $5 for a piece of plain prata and curry... compared to 60 cents in singapore??!!

Autumn's here...
second week back... everything looks the same, it is as if I did not even go anywhere... sian man... back to routine, working 7 days a week... i really need a hobby... something which I enjoy doing, that will allow me to relax... looking forward to the easter holiday... long weekend... really would like to go on a road trip... hopefully if everything goes according to plan, we may be going fruit picking...
found out last week that our general manager is leaving in april... 4 people have left since I started... although I am sad to see them go, but also happy for them... and they have found another OT to join our team, so our IM team is all consisted of OTs now... not sure how good would that be for us... personally, i think it is better to get someone of a different allied health background, like maybe a PT, so there can be a sharing of different skills and knowledge, but it's not really up to me... and i have been told that i will be moving desks as well, to the other pod...
have been thinking of looking for a job in the hospital, but it looks like it is going to be difficult, there did not seem to be many hospital jobs available now, and the ones that are available required OTs who are already working in the hospital... so that rules me out... dun really know what to do now... just have to wait and see...

走过回忆之路。。。
3 weeks of holidays just flew by like that... really dreading going back to sydney... wish I could stay here and slack forever... haha... although I must say that I have managed to meet up with all the people that I have not seen for awhile... the only thing is everyone's working now, hence not much flexibility in the times that we have... and after being here for 3 weeks, I actually thought of what would happen if I were to return here to work... but silvana told me that day that I would not be able to cope with the pace and culture of the workplace here... and I do not think I am confident enough to start work here at this stage...
also bought some stuff here... new shoes and clothes... things here are actually not that cheap, especially clothes... huimin and fran are leaving before I leave... will definitely miss them when I go back... dunno when will I be able to come back again... especially now that I am thinking of changing jobs to hospital-based...
also got to eat most of the food which I have missed... the weather here is really unbearable without air conditioning... constantly in a state of perspiration... also finished watching down with love from this chinese website... it was really by luck that i chanced upon this website... really loved the show... both jerry yen and ella were both so cute and funny... although i have only watched bits and pieces of autumn's concerto, but I think it is getting so draggy...
also watched 14 blades starring wu chun and donnie yen... thought that ip man was definitely better... the list of movies I am planning to watch before I return: percy jackson, hot summer days and alice in the wonderland...

BYe SyDnEy, HeLLo SiNgApoRe...
I am finally back in the sunny island called home after 2 long years of not being able to come home... have yet to really go out since I came back and everything that I have seen so far looked the same... but I have been told that there are many changes ie the new resorts that is opening on Chinese New year... saw it briefly when we drove past yesterday... a few new shopping centres... but the thing that never changed is the humidity... it is really hot here and I feel sweaty majority of the day... that's probably the one thing I do not enjoy... got to eat some of the foods which I really wanted to eat for a long time... will be looking forward to spending time with family and friends before i return... who knows how long before I can come back again... and we have decided not to go korea... nothing much atm happening... but will continue to update... and I have been diligently working on my "mini" project given my colleagues at work...

WHaT??!!
one year anniversary of my working life was on 5 Jan 2010... i can't believe it has already been a year... definitely learnt alot during the past year but continue to feel like there are so much stuff that i still don't know but which i feel like i should...
met up with amelia that day, went to the chinese place at parramatta for dinner, and went back to her new place to get new movies/dramas... during dinner, she dropped a bombshell on me telling me that she got a boyfriend just recently... it was a surprise to me cos if you know amelia, you won't believe it initially... but when i met her bf at her house, he seemed nice... i got a few some dramas off her, but have yet to start watching, for some reason, i am not really in the mood for them now... although i am feeling bored nowadays...
counting down the days to going back home... it is freaking hot over here, so hot that it is difficult to sleep at night, everything is hot, the bed, my clothes, the air outside... it's blowing hot air... that is how disgusting it is over here right now
we were sleeping downstairs on the floor on some nights now... that's how unbearable it is...
then today, while browsing facebook out of boredom, i found out that piyo got married!!?? i was like no way, i actually had to look twice to make sure that my eyes were reading it correctly... that was another shocker... she probably is the first of my friends getting married...

WHaT WeRe yOuR reSoLutiOnS for 2010?
the end of my week long holiday... no more sleeping in... recap what i did since the last post...
wed... went to have lindt with nat at martin place, and she showed me her new workplace... on george st... went to window shop after lunch... and went to kinokuniya again... and i went to have spicy beef seeing as i am already in the city although my shoes were killing me...
thurs... new year's eve... went to work for awhile at woolies, was quite busy that day... prisy and I stayed at home while the rest went to the city for the fireworks... we watched 'from hell' which was quite an old movie with johnny depp... about jack the ripper... quite gory actually... and we decided to rewatch boys over flowers... i know, we are so very sad... paused for awhile to watch the fireworks and continued till they came home which was ard 230am...
slept in on new year's... prisy's friend came over and i decided to go check out top ryde shopping centre... got there and found that most of the shops were closed and the place was still unfinished... so in the end, only spent some time in big w and woolies before going home... came home and we played trivia again... after that, we had to head over to uncle's friend's home as we were invited for dinner... did not really feel like going cos i don't really know them, but bcos steve (yes, uncle's friend's name is steve) helped me with the visa thing awhile ago, quite paiseh if i did not attend... spent quite awhile there and when we arrived home, i pretty much was exhausted... but ended up sleeping late again cos i was watching the new year's eve concert in taiwan... this year's concert was not too exciting... only had SHE, raine yang and ding dang...
was working on sat... came back home and prisy and i did karaoke again... she had this idea to hook up the xbox, leave it running so the mics are working and then connect the hard disk into the computer, but that did not work for some reason, and so desperate people like us, went for plan B, which was leave xbox running and sing along to the mv on the laptop... and then after that, decided to switch to play street fighters... remembered that i used to play the game a long time ago, but i can't really remember the special moves... and i dunno if this is normal, but are your thumbs meant to blister from using the controller??!! cos my left thumb is still hurting till now...
2010... quite a few things to look forward to this year... going home, world cup and new challenges... hopefully this would be a good year...

thurs... new year's eve... went to work for awhile at woolies, was quite busy that day... prisy and I stayed at home while the rest went to the city for the fireworks... we watched 'from hell' which was quite an old movie with johnny depp... about jack the ripper... quite gory actually... and we decided to rewatch boys over flowers... i know, we are so very sad... paused for awhile to watch the fireworks and continued till they came home which was ard 230am...
slept in on new year's... prisy's friend came over and i decided to go check out top ryde shopping centre... got there and found that most of the shops were closed and the place was still unfinished... so in the end, only spent some time in big w and woolies before going home... came home and we played trivia again... after that, we had to head over to uncle's friend's home as we were invited for dinner... did not really feel like going cos i don't really know them, but bcos steve (yes, uncle's friend's name is steve) helped me with the visa thing awhile ago, quite paiseh if i did not attend... spent quite awhile there and when we arrived home, i pretty much was exhausted... but ended up sleeping late again cos i was watching the new year's eve concert in taiwan... this year's concert was not too exciting... only had SHE, raine yang and ding dang...
was working on sat... came back home and prisy and i did karaoke again... she had this idea to hook up the xbox, leave it running so the mics are working and then connect the hard disk into the computer, but that did not work for some reason, and so desperate people like us, went for plan B, which was leave xbox running and sing along to the mv on the laptop... and then after that, decided to switch to play street fighters... remembered that i used to play the game a long time ago, but i can't really remember the special moves... and i dunno if this is normal, but are your thumbs meant to blister from using the controller??!! cos my left thumb is still hurting till now...

12 DAYs of cHriStMaS...
hmm... what i did for christmas...
was working on THursday, christmas eve till quite late, trying to complete all the reports so I do not start the new year with a backlog of reports from 2009...
christmas day and boxing day... stayed at home with everyone, the weather was wet hence we decided to just sloth around at home... eat sleep play and watch tv... mich bought the xbox 360 and we played trivia and karaoke... the thing with trivia was that it was only movie trivia and not very exciting, prisy informed me that the other trivia game on playstation was more fun... and i did not know 3/4 of the songs in the karaoke game, and we decided to try hooking up her zune and it worked, but either we sing along with no lyrics or watch the actual videos but without the mics...
sunday... working at woolies, it was surprisingly quiet, i thought it would be busy seeing as how we were closed for 2 days... and went to watch avatar in the evening... it was really good... better than what i expected... i am glad that we got the tickets early cos it was packed that day... and watching in 3D was definitely worth it, but becos i had to wear it over my glasses, it was giving me a headache after a while, i had to keep alternating between not wearing the 3D glasses and wearing it... definitely would recommend everyone to watch it... i would rate it 9/10... it was that good...
monday was boxing day public holiday... it was pouring in the morning and did not really feel like going out, but have already confirmed meeting up with uni people for lunch in the city... ended up eating at ajisen... ate my unagi bento again... did not like the rice as it was mushy... it's really weird but everytime we meet up we were mainly talking abt work... cos i think all of us were that close anymore as compared to at uni, not that we were that close at uni, but we saw each other mostly everyday but now, everyone's working and only catch up with each other once in a while... and all of them brought their partners along, and it was really weird seeing yochi and anna with their partners... after lunch, we separated, and i went to hang at kinokuniya to wait for prisy... after that, prisy and i decided to go karaoke at kmix... initially wanted to have dinner out but did not really see anything good, and she did not really feel like walking back to sussex centre for spicy beef hence we ended up eating junk food...
have the whole of this week off... on forced annual leave... hence i am at home today slacking... tomorrow will be meeting up with nat for lunch at lindt's... and thurs, working at woolies... no plans yet for friday... working on both sat and sun... the next holiday is australia day but it falls on a tuesday, so it's going to be not much of a holiday really... damn... why can't it fall on a monday instead... and we are back to summer again... yuck...

圣诞快乐。。。
it is getting very hot now, 2 more weeks to christmas... no plans yet for the 2 days off... will be meeting up with uni people for lunch during the week off, and may be meeting nat for lunch at Lindt's...
work area... i have got 2 cases currently which are giving me headaches...please... someone take these files off me... people are so annoying sometimes...
had our christmas lunch yesterday at this italian restaurant... at double bay... and i was late because i had an assessment that morning... the food was not that great really... went for drinks after... i had 2 cocktails... one was called "woo woo" and the other was "raspberry caprioscia"... not bad actually... did not stay for too long though... cos i had to taxi-pool with another colleague... guess what i receive from my kris kringle... a book titled "100 food experiences you have to have before you die"... i was browsing through it and the food listed on the book were too exotic... they had things like "fruit bat stew" ... oh man not that i would be reading it anytime soon... will have to regift it sometime...
finished watching the dvds that were sent back... have to start looking for new entertainment to occupy myself...

KEEp SeLf OccUpiEd...
it has been really hot for the past 2 weeks... and the last weekend when we went up to the hunter valley, the temp rose to 40 degrees... we were all dying from the heat... it was so hot that i did not have the mood to do anything that weekend...
there were many people when we visited the hunter valley... went to quite a few wineries and bought 2 bottles of wine... and i think i drank lots as well... went to this really posh cafe for lunch, the view was beautiful but the food was only ok... and then we went to ribs and rumps for dinner... my fav is still the chicken parmigiana...
went to watch 2012 with prisy, and the 2 uncles... it was ok, the special effects were quite good but still feel that the day after tomorrow was better... i would probably rate it 6/10...
am now watching a repeat of the series "chinese ghost story"... work has been quite shitty these 2 weeks... keep getting into trouble with insurers for some reason... and some clients just give me the shits...
the company will be having the christmas lunch in 2 weeks' time and apparently they have a tradition of picking a "Kris Kringle" and you have to buy a present for them... and you are not allowed to say who till after... and lucky me, i got our general manager... now i am getting a headache from thinking of what to buy...

COuNtiNg doWn...
very disappointed that my grandma could not come visit in the end bcos of her condition... hopefully after she sees the specialist, it will be a false alarm and she will be able to come visit... hence it was my uncle who came to visit for the next 3 weeks... not that i had to do much entertaining... cos i am working every day, so i only really see him during mealtimes... but i am looking forward to next saturday when we have a trip planned to visit the hunter valley... please let the weather become cool again... it is now starting to get really hot...
now that it's november already... i think things would start to slow down at work... but as always i am still trying to catch up on all the reports...
i have been watching 'burning flame' these past week... totally unable to recall the first series and now that i am watching it again... it was more on the drama side rather than showing them putting out fires... some parts were really sad though...

HEllO DrEAdED sUmmER...
and now for the weather update... it had been quite chilly for the past few weeks but it is definitely becoming warmer now as we enter november...
month of oct... went for a company dinner in a lebanese restaurant... first time there and trying lebanese food... the food on whole was not too bad... i actually ate quite alot considering how fussy i am... the only thing was the place was very small and narrow... and all of us were squashed along a long bench just like back in primary and secondary school where there are long benches instead of usual tables and chairs... and then the next week, it was the team dinner... at a spanish place where they sell tapas... which now i know are small servings of food... it was alright... and the good thing was i did not have to fork out a cent as the company paid for both times... which was good...
yesterday was nat's last day at work... all of us are sad to see her leave... although i am sad too, i am happy for her cos she found a job already and really, you can't really stay for too long in this job... i will miss her... i will be by myself for the next 2 weeks in the pod, until another new team mate joins us... she did her 4th year placement with us so at least we all know her already... so now our team has 4 OTs and 1 EP...
nainai is coming in 2 weeks' time... it will be good to see her again... and also i was told that we are confirmed going to korea in feb... wooo... i hear it is going to be cold... definitely will be asking anna what to bring and things to look out for...

烦恼。。。
can't believe it's october already... the long weekend just passed... this year we did not do very much for the october long weekend... was working on sat and sun... watched race to witch mountain, ps i love you and the proposal... the proposal was hilarious... ryan reynolds was really funny in the movie... i really enjoyed the show... did not do very much on monday, was able to sleep in that day, played mahjong and we were planning to go out for dinner at ceci's when the power went out, and started pouring... which it has been for the whole of last week... and it was freezing... not that i am complaining, definitely prefer to be freezing than having flies buzzing everywhere... so in the end, we stayed home for dinner and thank god the power came back... continued to look for properties... i have just started to realise how difficult it is to buy a property, there is just too many things that need to be considered... i like the idea of living on our own, having to do everything for ourselves... but on the other hand, it is also nice to not be worrying abt washing, cleaning and cooking... 很烦。。。
found out that day that one of my team mates is leaving the company at the end of the month, who is also my mentor... i was shocked... and for some reason, i started crying in front of my manager, it was so embarrassing... it's not like we were close or anything, i think it's bcos i did not expect her to leave and she was the one who taught me everything i know in this job... it will be sad to see her go...

tiME is PAsSiNg So fAsT...
met up that day with the guys from uni, there was anna, yochi, jo, tina and karen... it has been awhile since we met up like this... it was good to be able to catch up with them and learn what they have been doing since graduation... most of us have already started working whereas some are still looking for jobs... the good thing was becos everyone were in quite different areas of practice, it was good to hear what they do and especially as I would like to go into hospitals, I had to find out more from anna and karen... the food was not that great though, we should have gone to Ceci's... well next time perhaps...
prisy and i were watching the series moonlight for the past few days and stayed up till really late last night to finish the series... the main character is really good looking... although the series received bad ratings and they cancelled the series after the first season, i think we quite enjoyed the show in general, although the female lead is really annoying...
and today is really cold for some reason, the wind is howling outside... really strange... but i am definitely not complaining, i'd rather be freezing than sweating... please delay summer as long as possible... looking forward to the long weekend next week... hopefully i can get a break...
