spent the past few days meeting army frens, jc gang, sec sch buddies after coming back from yunnan. Nice to see u guys still in one piece. haha. i mean doing reasonably fine.
oh man i still miss yunnan. Was flipping thru the diary which i kept during the trip. Think can share some highlights of my trip with u all. but not tis entry. its really pretty long haha.
Last day of yr 2006 le.
Well i guess this can be considered an exciting year for me. Looking back, it seems to me that it is like the fastest year i have ever experienced. Probably one with the most happenings and changes i would say. Mainly the transition from army life to uni life i guessed for most guys.
From the brainless dispensing "sgt tan ah kow take this 2tabs 3 times a day" + extremely tedious n meaningless compiling of health stats n stocktake + once in a while interesting E-cases in med ctr to learning to draw canonical/resonnance chemical structures of paracetamol/aspirin + recognising functional grps of hydrocortisone + making sense of wad physical pharm is all abt (i hate paul heng!!). How come paul nv seem to disappear be it in uni or army.
From the chit chat sessions in the dispensary + slacking/surfing net/tv-ing in med ctr eating deliciously yummy botak jones to slacking/mugging/slacking/mugging routine in med library/ulu fast food restaurants =P/at home with deliciously yummy chocs n snacks.
Oh my oh my. And the whole cycle is beginning again in a week.
turned 21 yrs old this yr. 21 yrs old.. Guessed it has its significance for me esp when it coincides with the start of uni.. Have to learn to adapt, learn to survive, learn to be contented, learn to cherish ppl and things, learn to be sensitive, learn to have more initiative, learn to be selfish at times. I dunno. Sometimes i think i demand too much out of myself. like asking myself to b selfish n at the same time b generous. haha. Yep. learn to expect less n give more.
Travelled to shanghai in apr with my family. It was a gd break as i felt they were getting abit cynical and tired of the daily routine. Evrytime when i travelled with my family tho the fun element is limited, but somehow i think it binds the family together somehow. Prob its the only time when u get to spend 24/7 face to face, and also having to take care of each other during the journey.
Taipei trip in june with my cathhigh buddies. Its always fun to b with u guys. Needless to say =P.
Yunnan 2006 which i got back a couple of days ago. Memories that will last forever.
Meeting ahnehkins n a bunch of close frens in uni. Din expect to have such nice frens in uni so soon. Think its really a blessing to meet them. They def made my life in pharm a much more enjoyable n memorable one despite the competitive and muggish nature of the course.
Still got a lot things to say.. but i gtg soon. Well hope u guys have a enjoably last day of 2006 n a great start to the year 2007!

hEy guys. happy belated christmas! Thanks for the well wishes smses. Pardon me for not replying while i was in yunnan. And i received xmas cards even tho i didn't send out any this year. Thanks alot =)
I'm missing yunnan alot alot alot. The wooden cottage in the olive farm, the villagers/the super adorable kids, the weather(i saw snow for the 1st time!), the food, and of cox the yunnan team itself. Shit man. The whole experience was simply priceless. Many many lessons were learnt, many invaluable connections with ppl were made, there were jus so many many things that touched my heart and have become wonderful memories that are etched deeply in me. Really wished i m back there now. I think i mus b crazy. The ten days tho seemed long at 1st, zoomed past like a rocket.
The disappointing results and gloomy weather is adding on to my blues. I feel apped n drained of all my energy. Think i shouldn't have expected so much of myself. Well the gd thing is we still have 7 sems to fight on. Fret not ppL!
Haiz i need time to arrange my thots n put aside those cranky emotions. Will be back to fill in the details of the trip.

You are The Devil
Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession
The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.
Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
i never knew i was a devil. so BEWARE

it has been less than a week since my hols started but i'm already spending like crazy(i dunno where all my money go to la) oh no. this is bad. but heck la. i shld enjoy myself.
watched happy feet. i think it is kinda overrated. it wasn't as nice as i thot. there wasn't even a storyline to begin with. and the message n "morale" of the story is like so mian qiang-ly inserted. U know.. the usual save the animals, conservation, blah. The message i got instead was like DUN EAT FISH? Bah. But the young penguins were unmistakably cute tho. If u really wan to watch it. watch it on a weekday. it def not worth 9.50? is wkend 9.50? or 8.50 wadever
N i finally swam today. feel like my joints n muscles are like old rusty screws n creaking wheels n axle.. a result of not exercising for too long during the mugging season.
been hooked on this online game called auditionsea. its like ddr played using fingers.. it was introed to me while mugging my vvvvvv gd frens. namely wp n xz. luckily i resisted playing until after my exams. and hs, a kind pharm senior, had to come over n remind me tt i was from pharmacy when she caught me playing in the lib. haha funny eh.
jus a side note, i saw this NO EATING, NO DRINKING, NO SMOKING sign at the void deck's study area. NO SMOKING ok maybe understandable. but eating n drinking?? hello eh?? its a void deck eh. -_-
I can't wait to eat ikea meatballs tmr =P

My brain can finally go on leave! yay. Hang on for those who are not done. You all are almost there!
Sigh the tv in my room is spoilt. ARGH. And the one in the living room was sent for repairs since a week ago. Now only left the one in my parent's room. My stupid tv had to imitate my brain n go on leave at this time. Jus when i needed u most u pangsei me!
First sem in uni over. 7 more to go. Gosh its way too fast la. Felt like a huricane swept past or sth like taking a roller coaster ride. i duno how to describe the experience explicitly. There have been fun times, meeting nice ppl, doing fun stuff, laughing like crazy, stressing over tests/exams(a major component sad to say) so conclusion? Was i happy? I think i did ok n coped reasonably well(i hope my results dun tell me otherwise). i hope i dun burnt out too soon either.
Well now its the time for all of us to recharge isn't it. Enjoy ur hols ppl!
