Finally had decent jap food! And its so near my house. Haha. Sushi Tei at thomson plaza! Chekwun nxt time come thomson plaza.. no queue de and woun get wet bcox of stupid fountain =p didn't order sashimi as I was still having gastric flu/problem. Damn sian la I think I really cannot drink coffee.. Must be overdose of coffee this sem thanks to the 4 day 8am lectures timetable. Sux man. I feel so weak without coffee.. how. Do i have to resort to decaff coffee? but decaff. argh

Somehow I have the feeling I'm having lesser and lesser friends. I keep asking my mum out to shop with me recently..Which isn't exactly a bad thing either. And my life seems v boring. Everyday go office at 9, go home at 6, sleep before 12. (other than today cox tmr is a PH).I can't say its bad either and neither do I feel sad abt it. I am actually OK with it Its a good routine wad. Wads wrong with me ah? Am I slowly evoling into an ah pek.. and in addition my hair keeps fallIng off.. Haha wadever.

Oh no only abt a month left! this sem was real fast. I'm damn scared of DFD. haha but heck

Been neglecting my blog and neglecting the com... rather my own com. Haven really been online as often as previous times simply becox i'am already facing the com like 9 hours a day in the office. But its quite slack la and super boring.. however it kinda makes me rem the classes of drugs so i guess it shld be gd.

I started to paint my room.. its gonna be alternating white n blue on each wall. Hahah i feel like drawing some patterns or designs after watching bai jia le everywk.. but then my arty skills r pretty limited. any1 out there wan to help? lol. And painting the ceiling is really shag. Its really a pain in the neck.

DFD was a disaster. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. Dunno how to study for SP.. Y test us on language modals, usage of tense, reordering of sentences. Am I in pri or sec sch? SHIT u NUS> So is any of u mugging a grammar book now? and dun feel like studying for stats either. Ya and later I'm going to regret. Argh wadever. SHIT U NUS. Argh. Why is everything so results oriented. Somehow I got a feeling I'm going to get BBBBBs for this sem. WTF.And y m I so upset! WTH wad kind of entry is this. ARgh.

One more week left! I dunno whether it should come quickly or slowly so tt i have more time to mug. Haven been mugging v hard but this sem effectively i only got 3 mods to handle for exams (minus SP lol) last sem was 4 now is 3. And if i dun improve i really shld go bang my head.

Suddenly v scared of DFD. I thot I did okay for the pract test but my grades proved me wrong. Why they release the grades ah. Must b alot ppl go ask la. But anw its jus a stupid test. Exams exams. And the spreading and interfacial tutorial is scaring me. I cannot afford a repeat of physical pharm.. How many times in NUS can u see this kind of grade or rather afford to see this grade. haha. I hope is jus once.

The Great Expectations

Do we always have to expect the unexpected or simply expect less? Why do we have to expect what others are expecting of ourselves? What do u expect?


I'm just giving you the taste of your own medicine. Feels like an idiot rite?

I managed to find the correct one thanks to tp lol! This is really power...some parts i can't understand also but its jus owning Its a super zai and awesome tho its literally describing a girl like 花瓶. 一个非同凡响的花瓶吧。

青花瓷

词:方文山 曲:周杰伦
素胚勾勒出青花笔锋浓转淡
瓶身描绘的牡丹一如你初妆
冉冉檀香透过窗心事我了然
宣纸上走笔至此搁一半

釉色渲染仕女图韵味被私藏
而你嫣然的一笑如含苞待放
你的美一缕飘散去到我去不了的地方

天青色等烟雨而我在等你
炊烟袅袅升起隔江千万里
在瓶底书汉隶仿前朝的飘逸
就当我为遇见你伏笔

天青色等烟雨而我在等你
月色被打捞起晕开了结局
如传世的青花瓷自顾自美丽你眼带笑意

色白花青的锦鲤跃然於碗底
临摹宋体落款时却惦记著你
你隐藏在窑烧里千年的秘密
极细腻犹如绣花针落地
帘外芭蕉惹骤雨门环惹铜绿
而我路过那江南小镇惹了你
在泼墨山水画里你从墨色深处被隐去

天青色等烟雨而我在等你
炊烟袅袅升起隔江千万里
在瓶底书汉隶仿前朝的飘逸
就当我为遇见你伏笔

天青色等烟雨而我在等你
月色被打捞起晕开了结局
如传世的青花瓷自顾自美丽你眼带笑意

the 4 birthday babies =)

all of us =)

Argh done so little work this week.. and nxt wk is prob gonna be panic mode.. gd luck to me.

Thanks to all for all the birthday wishes esp poh from Sweden and cheow from aussie.. hope there woun be a bomb in my nxt phone bill.. and of course the presents from ahnehkins, shne, cp, mcv & xn..thankew!.. and of cox my zuee.. i almost thot we're not even going out le.. but haha u surprised me. *touched* thanks dear.

There is a really a WORLD of difference between "doctor say cancel" and "doctor say cancer" Devastating difference. Dammit. My godness. The importance of EFFECTIVE communication. adding one or two more words like doctor say operation cancel or doctor say postponed would have been much better.

i like 青花瓷! Yes i am cheena. like the chorus alot..the lyrics are so damn beautiful..超有意境。方文山 is my 偶像 man! but some parts cannot catch.. googled and i got all sorts of funny versions dunno which is right.. shld i jus go buy the album. 最长的电影 is nice too

Ahnehkin outing! At geylang where we sang kaihui a birthday song. all the aunties and ah peks are staring at us in that "what are these kids doing here" look.. haha
Ate 933 roast duck and braised duck which was good but serving abit litle and some not v tasty kway chup for dinner
Dinner no.2 was durians with some super expensive elvis presley durian literally called 猫王 or sth lydat and kampung and D24 etc etc dunno wad species.
Dinner no.3 was 豆浆油条 yumm
so shiok.. but nothing comparable to sean who had both chicken n duck(best of both worlds =P) plus laksa before this 3 course dinner. And he got pregnant after that.HAhaha.

Which College Major Should You Be?
	Your major should be part Biology. You work hard, and you're gonna keep working hard for many years to come. That's why you keep your work organized and your health in good shape.
	Your major should be part Art. You are sensitive, creative, and you don't follow established rules. Unfortunately, you'll have to follow some rules if you ever want that promotion at Starbucks.

Argh omg.. its almost one month anniversary since I last touch my blog.. my sincere apologies to all my ardent fan si out there.(wads new abt jw not updated actually =p) Yea and its all facebook's fault this time round. Its such a waste of time but yet i can't help it but take a look at it at least once a day. And i'm so suagu.. the whole world is on it liao but i jus registered.

Well, this sem has really been very very fast.. Somehow this sem is just filled with many many rubbish and weird assignments..is like alot alot of things to do but it isn't exactly very difficult.. and the stuff doesn't seem very academic or pharm related to me.. other than dfd and bahasa which i think are quite interesting. poster presentation, non stop editing of essays, cooking project for bahasa, some weird stats report which is like absolutely pointless.. this sem is just FULL of "surprises" Some pleasant, some irritating tho.

Realised that if u wear contacts and cut onions u woun tear! well at least tts the case for me.. Or maybe its jus me being powerful... lol but my hand reek of the onion smell for at least 1 day after the bahasa cooking session. Thanks again to wonderful kaihui for allowing us to mess up her kitchen and all sorts of nonsense. haha..

No more labs this wk onwards... which means no more excuse to slack. argh. yay durians on sat! =p

So the mid sem break is here. Half hearted yay~1/2!

Went to st john's island for the yep retreat over the wkend.. haha yea st john's island. weird and real ulu place hur. but did somewhat enjoyed myself.. laughed alot i think.. away from civilisation, away from all the notes and work, jus relax, eating nonstop(nutella! snacks, amkave10 nasi lemak..5 meals a day~), sleep, watch tv, play games/facilation sessions(bridge! song guessing game haha) and also got to know some of the ppl in the team better.. a pity that i din get much of the sun, and the beach was almost nonexistent anyway.

Had a chance to visit kusu island.. as the ferry "transited" there enroute to st john.Went to the famous temple where suagu me discovered abt ringing bell thingy when u offer 香油钱..apparently its a practise found in alot of other temples.. Fed tortoises on our way back with our unfinished bread. I think its the 1st time i have seen so many of them together at one place. and to quote xt, they are certainly not slow when it comes to snatching food haha..

today's pharmstats lab was damn darn funny.. well wad to do.. we have a damn interesting lecturer that bores us to death. Cp u shld jus invite our dear prof to chat with all of us nxt time since u said u have his msn. I wonder if the TA will tell him anything..HAha who cares. I think i was entertaining him until i got too paiseh to continue chatting when 2 TAs were staring at my screen.

bahasa was damn funny also. we jus got damn cranky n high for no apparent reason..there's this v zi high girl in my class tt laughs damn loudly and ya the highly contagious type.. when i pronounced apel(apple) as ah bao she was laughing like dunno wad..ah bao bagaimana... den dunno why got durian apa kabar? durian baik baik saja. haha 超级无理头=p

almost forgot.. Van おたんじょうびおめでとう！！

jiawei said I was a good boy today -_- sheeshz.

Made chocs! Ok la not really make from scratch, but melted the choc bar and added my own ingredient and stuff and place it into a nice mould. was experimenting to see if we can sell it to raise funds for YEP trip.. haha but its fun~ like having to TRITURATE the oreo powder properly with the melted choc. So if eventually we decide to sell it u all must buy!

Felt that I really need to get this off my chest.. but I dunno how and where to start

There was only one word to describe my feeling towards this particular grp of ppl=utter disappointment. I didn’t have to be there last sat to know what happened or rather what was going to happen. I chose not to turn up as I knew no matter how we explained or rather, fight, (under that kind of circumstances I supposed this might be an appropriate word) it would be futile against the sheer number of fingers pointing at us, and I definitely had other better things to do than to talk to these ppl. My heart goes out to Cheryl and Choonpei for having to handle this shit, but at the end of the day, everything is over and we certainly have nothing against our conscience.

Firstly to begin with, how much support/help did we get from these ppl? Isn’t FOC/FOW a highlight event of the club? Given the traditional pathetic participation of the pharm cohort, if the exco still doesn’t show their support by at least turning up/or being more involved, how you expect the rest of the cohort to be enthusiastic about these events? Ya I know, there’s perceptorship and RAG, but that isn’t really an excuse. Of course, we will remember those that who had helped, n we really appreciate it a lot.

You guys claim that we should have more initiative in asking whether we can have deficits and dig onto reserves, let me ask you then WHERE is your initiative as a active member/exco of the club then. It doesn’t have to be in this aspect but wheres ur initiative to help in all relevant aspects?? Back to the point, we weren’t even told that it was okay to incur a loss; we were told to save n save n budget and we have really tried our best to strike a balance; you all made noise when we order $2 lunch vs ur super cheap but horrible $1 lunch last year; and after all it simply didn’t make sense to run a orientation event and make a lost. If u all really think we are charging too high a price for a matric pack, and have jnr’s welfare at heart, then use the reserves fund now n pay back into the jnr’s class fund la. Then it would be best welfare for the jnrs, since u all claim we never consider our jnr’s welfare.

So not only you all din help much, but u all pointed so much fingers at us throughout the entire orientation project. I daresay the programme for FOW is so much better this year, based on feedback from our jnrs, and instead of being appreciative n recognizing our efforts(haz), you all only know how to make noise. I am sure you guys have organized this before last year, and you know how hard it is, why make things so difficult for us? is it an yearly agenda of the agm to shoot FOW comm every yr?

Simply cannot comprehend why things will end up lydat. I really hope the new exco will do a better job this year. I have faith in u guys. And the juniors stop complaining so much, you will understand when its ur turn to organize nxt yr.

VEry Very random and boring ramblings

saya tidak senang SP1203, karena it jus sux. tidak mau do assignment.
saya mau pergi ke pator, mau makan waruku, mau pergi ke zoo. Tetapi tidak ada time. Mengapa lydat???

This sem is soo "language-based". The stupid SP mod, bahasa indon, the trying-to-be funny pharm laws, which some legislations i have to read a few times before understanding what it means. Lawyers really need a gd command of language.
My brain is crying out for help! argh.

I'm actually looking forward to dispensing practs and dfd practs these days. The emulsion we made on mon was like how nice!! its sooooSmOOth la.. looks like condensed milk. The pessaries I made few wks ago seemed to have melted.. its more like gummy bears now. why lydat ah. Thoti ts supposed to melt there and not in my hands or in my cupboard. argh haha wadever.

My pessaries turned out fine after all =) I couldn't be bothered to wait till the gelatin thingy evaporated to 10g.. NO time liao...hence i didn't dare to open the mould to retrieve it after 30 mins. was so scared they will jus break or melt in front of me or sth horrible will happen to it. haz. I didn't expect it to be so jelly-like. u know like gummy bears tt kind. haha. V stressful but rather exciting pract. And the ointment was just super messy. OILY was the word of the day la.

Its really infuriating to have parents who don't understand your plight and says/worries abt sth that is totally out of the world, like NOT BEING ABLE to GRADUATE because I "cheated" the school and BROKE the LAW and need to engage a lawyer. Am I really doing sth that unethical? Ya I know ask the four boxes rite? or visit an ethics consultant.

The beginning of this sem as well as the prospect of this sem totally sux. Ya rite its only year2sem1 i know. suppose to be easy peasY. No bio related topics, physical pharm part2, risk of only having 4 mods. Sounds thrilling.

Blame it on the seventh month, blame it on my fried brain. My head is like bursting any moment.

the new windows live hotmail totally sux. so does ivle 8.

I jus needed to bitch. my 500th post rocks.

Phew.. Everything's finally over.. So much happened in this week that I dunno how to blog about it.. FOW,national day,Rag..

FOW
Certainly got to interact more with the juniors this time round, due to the lack of ogls/snrs and me being gamemaster for quite some games/food hunt but somehow for me and many of the seniors FOW was more relaxing than the camp.. somehow all the stress went to choonpei. Opps.Haha.. no la she certainly did a good job and probably I was guilty of being insensitive and not taking the initiative of helping out sometimes.. But in any case everything is over.. And we certainly did a good job for a 1st stayover for FOW! evident from some of the positive feedback we got from our juniors. Well done everyone! Thanks to all!

National Day
是甜的，只因有你。haha.Everything was perfect. The food,(i luv waruku now!), the fireworks and of cox you. Mayb minus the squeezing thru the crowd part. haha

Rag
Certainly agreed with many of my classmates, brings back the memories. How could i ever forget the times when we played cardless daidee shouting from one enclosed backdrop to another, the highly exciting adrenaline rush of pushing the metal frame backdrop without knowing when to stop(and all the gers screaming). I mean though they are jus some small little stuff, but are certainly fond memories for many.

突然又觉得自己又老了。唉。。

明天又是一个新学年了。也不知为何，总觉得有些面孔会给我及熟悉但又陌生的感觉。

-end of my 499th post-

Went to take a peek at pharm's rag tentage this afternon after FOW prog stuff. Its like sooo nice!!! I think we deserve a best newcomer for float or sth.. hopefully can win sth la. Its really like sooo much nicer and professional compared to last yr. Prob due to more planning time and a better budget. So proud of pharm raggers =) You guys are damn zai~ I suddenly fet abit sad that I'm not involved in rag this year.. but i can't b like doing so many things.. haha. 加油！！！

好久没因为听到雪糕叔叔的铃声而跑到楼下去买来吃。真的不知道有多就没像小孩这样子了。好怀念哦。。买雪糕的叔叔人真好，他没零钱找我，便说改次在下来买时再还吧。。但我不好意思，坚持要还他钱，于是我还是跑了两趟。哈哈。

也许是他的商业手法吧，但他的举动却让我仿佛回到十多年前的感觉。而我执著地付钱也是因为我已不知我何时会再像小孩一样冲下楼买雪糕了。

只是想让你知道我也觉得非常幸福 =)

Finished harry a couple of days ago. thanks dear lending me the book 1st even tho u haven read=) It was certainly a gd book and the ending REALLY didn't suggest that there would be a 8th book(I was secretly hoping there would b). Sigh. Didn't realised that this entire harry potter saga has been ard for ten years(oh man) until I read william's blog.. n prob a few more years to come when the last 2 movies roll out, though I'm like half heartedly anticipating as most of the time the movie are definitely not doing justice to the book. Well we are grow up, and Harry and Friends have to grow up too i guess. Baaa. haha

One more week left! And 2 days are already taken up by FOW stuff! I wan to KBOX! I wan to go ZOO!*winks And mahjong(I'm not a du gui! yesterday's session was damn hilariuos again.) And ok i really shld go get a ippt date so that i can target myself to train. And this is the god-knows-how-many-day that is overcast n rainy the whole day. Come on, its not xmas yet leh...But I think we can count ourselves lucky if u turn on the news everyday. Everyday at least ten mins of it is dedicated to reports of floods, storms, droughts, forest fires, heat waves everywhere except singapore. haz.

No worries there's no harry potter spoiler here =p

I felt like my hols have only truly started this week!! Do wad i wan impromtu, waking up only when i have slept enough..yea u geddit the meaning la=)

The cold weather has been fuelling my laziness and of little help to my imminent ippt date. Arghz.

Yesterday's jap placement test.. was like Hur~Hur~ I din even need to fake anything.. cox i really dunno how to do.. 1st time writing jap like in 5 yrs. I forgot even how to write some of the hiragana, like how to curve here n there.. so duhz.. not to mention abt katana. But somehow i made sense of the reading comprehension and could answer most of the true n false qns. haha! And needless to say, i failed the paper horribly so chernyih n cheryl lets take jap lvl 1000 together =p haha opps van~ aiya zai就是different - quote xt. Haha.

For once i think yest's mahjong session was worth mentioning. Total Madness and Brutality. Blood was shed, Hearts stopped beating momentarily, say byebye to ernies but welcome all the big parangs and backlash! Of course the usual sarcasm still stands.. in addition was the disgusting high-fives when all the baos occured =p Think thruout 4 rds of game there were more 5,4 tais den 1,2 tais. And there was 3 or 4 baos in total. Haha exciting stuff man.

I hate my hair~ i Dunno wad went thru my mind when i said cut my fringe. Sian tiao.

okok i need to get back to doing my prog stuff den can read harry if not someone will kill me if i dun finish by this week =P

Last day of work! Somehow I think I will miss the place/job.. maybe for a tiny while la =p Haha. Met alot of ppl who might end up as my colleague or superiors in future, said hie to many weird drug names(they know me i dunno them), which jus made me have more questions abt the future. In a way such a exposure is definitely a gd experience i guess, and moreover its still too early to really decide on what i wan to do, so i still need to mug hard when sch reopens. bleahz...

bintan! 06/07 - 08/07




Alot of random shots and some are simply inappropriate to be posted. lol~

Anyway it was gd breakaway from routine work over the wkend..n plus the fooling ard with the bunch of duguis who jus wanna go back to the villa n play mahjong =p Having ur own buggy to drive ard the resort is rather shiok~ i wanna drive one home liao la. And also realising my potential to be a dangerously safe 50+ yr old wanna-overtake uncle driver while driving the ATV(all terrian vehicle) and winning kenvin in the race ahah. And how can i not mention abt the buffets? Its like lunch dinner lunch consecutive buffets. U mus b thinking how shiok is tt rite?! 1st time i actually got rather sick with gd food. lol~ But bintan is jus too overpriced the only plus point it has is tt its jus located at the backyard of sgpore.. so damn near. I wan to go redang nxt time! cheaper, nicer beaches

FOC 25/6 - 28/6



I din bring camera.. so those trying to look for pharmacy chiobus i'm sorry. u can click on the pic n enlarge n see if u r really desperate.No one wil know dun worry=P i din have time to pose for pics wads more take pic. n most of the pics are dunno-god-knows-where. Someone pls send me more pics! haha.

02/07 is a special day rite =) somehow it also reminded me of 0277 haha =)

04/07

Dinner with 3 dunno how to link friends. come to think of we have no common ground btw all 4 ppl. I shall not bother to explain how we are related. haha. anw gerald chicago sounds really dangerous. so take care ahaha.

I'm ending work this sat! YAY! ok i only have 2 weeks of hols left after this sat. excluding O week la. Cox O week is like wOrk wk. hahaHA. no la shld be fun =) I can't wait for nxt wk where i can stay at home n watch crunchy roll whole day or go swim or gym. Shucks man ippt. i need some to train with me. HAha. i wan to pass! or silver! got 100 or 200 bucks rite?

shyt i can smell sch starting already. filthy smell tt is. HAha. no la.. but the thot of 8am lectures every day other den weds, and ending my last paper on 5th dec. Sighz. Arghz. nvm there are other things to look forward to =)

I feel so suaku and un-hip. I didn't know where zouk is - the milk run starting point. all along I thot it was at mohammad sultan so i happily alighted there and realised its opp great world city. Asked some uncles and aunties ard the coffeeshops as i couldn't find any young chaps ard den they all dunno also(like duhz of cox they dun, i had to say things like, 'tt dancing place' but to no avail).. had to call shane to find out. Haha suagu me. ya wanted to go for the milk run thingy but den ya.. ahemz.. erm.. erm. we decided not to run but ended up mahjonging instead =X And i;ve been losing ever since kc came back i think. =X

Saw clive on fri! Yes Clive chen..My NP batch mate n my jc classmate. The last time i saw him was like 3.5 yrs ago. zai kia. graduated from john hopkins now on hols after tt going to do pHD le. OMG wad m I doing Now??! Yr 2 pharm?! how sad. And he still hates taking pictures. welcome william back too! Bumped into joan at bugis jxn today too.. Make sure u all all wear green on 77-cum-earth day and take lots of pics to make me green with envy.



Read van's blog n sort of realised the camp wasn't tt un-fun la. I did enjoy myself also.. cox the way i wrote my last blog entry like i v sian lydat. Du have the false impression k. Its jus a diff feeling one yr ago. Was browsing thru last yr's camp pics.. haha nostalgic sia.. n i also observed tt basically the same ppl came (as in those who camelast yr are all ogls/programmers/GMs this yr) Cox alot of them i nv knew they were here for camp back in 2006. haha. So who can send me this yr camp's pics?? I think i took v little pics this yr.. so sad.. too busy to pose for pics. lol!

GST hike is here. And i still din managed to get a monitor tho the one i'm using still flickers.. but managed to ordered my contacts b4 yest, made new specs, got a new bagpack, new berms. Ok i'm broke again. n more outings this wk! Bintan this fri!

Its finally over!! *relieved* Most of the time I'm like so busy that I didn't think i was enjoying or having fun. But i hope the freshies did have a good time. Tho there were some screwups but i guess the camp was successful one overall. running and planning a camp is certainly no easy feat for all of us, and i believed thru out the process, many of us have put in alot of effort and made alot of sacrifices. Clashes, unhappy issues sometimes are unavoidable, and somehow its abit regrettable how things turn out sometimes. But i certainly hope things will eventually turn out fine and that we're still be good friends and classmates.Sighz

Anw thankew exco, especially my 2 fellow jteam members,jielin jiawei; cheryl,mcvin and kaihui,chernyih. Thankew my programmers subcom!(we still have FOW to go, rite rite rite? =P)And also the ogls and everyone who have helped.

Sian i dun feel like going back to work tmr man. bintan is nxt week. the hols are really passing damn fast.. but somehow i'm wishing fow to b over when we haven even started planning (probably tts y -_-|| ) and official sch to start.

Legend of My Cathigh Buddies and The Golden MAhjong Tiles! KC's cupboard is a nice backdrop for pics. Haz

I'm burnt!! Hopefully not burnt - OUT yet. Dry run @ sentosa was fun! turnout wasn't as bad as predicted after all. Even bx came. So onz! thanks dude! Thank u pharmers for all the help and support! It was encouraging =) I think overall is a pretty good experience to get involved. Got to know alot more ppl and how different ppl work.. sorts of bond ppl in a way i hope. Though there are ocassional periods when fatigue and sianness sets in and u really wonder why the hell did i get stuck with this shit. Haha. but come to think abt it, uni really shldn't jus b abt mugging tho i need not stress how impt it is in such a disgusingly competitive course =X Wads more is like the last chance u get to do this kind of things already.

The idea of ending my job earlier and going for shortgetaway to bintan b4 sch starts sounds alluring.. but money money money! I seems to have feud with money. They jus dun seem to b on my side most of the time.

Ribs at this bobby's place at chjimes is very nice! I think can win tony roma's. Ask cartel's ribs to go sleep. lol~ Had fun k-ing with the 77 gang. All the shouting n screaming thanks to the "elvin effect" made my throat sore. So who is organising 77 day? meet 7-7-07 7.07pm? Mayb we shld get register no.7 guy to do it. Anyone rem who tt guy is?

Our dear Kc is coming back like tmr.. mahjong! I wan to shop too b4 all the GST n Nets thingy kicks in! And tmc kuishinbo! Argh there's so many things to do. I can't fall sick now. Stupid sore throat n imminent heat rash go away. I need to start my vitamin regime soon.

The original Gatsby advert song. Very catchy. Listen! Got SMAP in this version

ok i'm out of my hole or wadever u call it(refer to tagboard) for a while to blog..

OMG Its already abt 1.5 months into the hols.. Its going tooo fast. Slow down slown down!

Been busy working, having foc meetings, dry runs(2),tuition, meeting up with ppl/frens.. And more ppl to meetup with in the nxt few wks! I'm hardly at home nowadays.. Ok la.. its been rather tiring but so far i'm still sort of enjoying my hols =) Jus tt I need more time!

One of the adverse drug rxn of metoclopramide is ur eyes will roll backwards and ur tongue will stick out.. And this altho abit rare, but its more common with young gers.. so xiao mei meis beware! Joanne was saying nxt time when we ask patient if they are allergic to meto and if she says yes and she will stick out her tongue, we're not suppose to laugh... haha. Interesting ADR.

Seems like mus learn Malay if wan to interact with Malay patients.. today they were like satu err blah blah blah. ok nvm. I only understood satu. Maybe Dua also. But i still wan to take jap!

Have to thank mum for asking me to watch 稀游记 the Ch U documentary abt extraordinary Singaporeans in foreign lands. The episode aroused my interest as it was featuring the life of a medical social worker in kunming, yunnan who mainly visits/counsel ppl who are mentally ill. And she mainly works with 傈僳 (li su) tribe ppl.. which happens to be the same tribe of ppl we interacted with back in my dec yunnan trip.

What she does is indeed admirable and respectable. She doesn't get paid a single cent and have to climb like how many thousand ft and go thru god knows wad kind of treacherous journey just to visit one or 2 mentally ill patient/orphans every week/few days. Compared to the mini hill we climbed up to the leper's village then, which was a one off thing and not a v difficult journey, I really shldn't complain.

Then there was this 26 yr old male patient that they featured, who suffers from schizophrenia. He has been locked up in a wooden fenced up area prob abt 1m x 1m space for 8 yrs. EIGHT YRS. and he hasn't came out since. he has been sitting there for eight years. forgotten how to stand. forgotten how to do aything. Doesn't bathe. Does his business at a corner. CAN U IMAGINE. How can such a thing happen to anyone, to any human? And whats even more shocking and saddening its that when he was locked up there 8 yrs ago he did it willingly as he was too guilty that he set his own house up on fire. As in he JUST SAT THERE and WATCH THE FENCE BUILD UP ARD HIM. 8 YEARS since. 8 YEARs. I'm jus speechless. 心情好沉重. SIGH.

The state of lack of medical knowledge, treatment and misconception of many diseases are just appaling. The idea of a lepers village at the top of a secluded hill away from civilization, and that fence thing are all a result of lack of medical help and knowledge. The people simply jus do not know wad to do with these group of ppl with medical condition, hence they can only think of such saddening and extreme methods to isolate all these patients. Its jus damn saddening. And that medical social worker was saying how she wished that there could be doctors treating them, sufficient meds, rehab and stuff which is near impossible in these poverty stricken rural areas.

I suddenly have the urge to go back to yunnan. But what i can do? bring more trouble to them? Sighz. I'm simply not ready to give everything i've got. We definitely benifited much more from the trip than those ppl we were trying to help.

What can i do from the knowledge of pharmacy? Can I use it to help these ppl? Am i that 伟大 in the 1st place? What do i really wan out of these 4 yrs of pharmacy.

I'm thinking too much. And getting emo. time to sleep. I jus hope that all these ppl get better treatment.

Went to sentosa on sunday. It wasn't crazy kind of fun but it was jus nice..the new attractions weren't exactly fantastic. but sentosa does seem to be a much nicer place.. as in def a lot more details and effort went to make the place more pleasing. flowers blah.. yah u get the idea. guess eventually it was the company n v relaxed mood that mattered more. =)

First day of work... Oh i'm employed by AH after all as pharmacy assistant. At the outpatient pharmacy. Finding my job so mundane and stressful and tiring but time really flies. Its almost no time to rest/slack. Totally felt like a factory worker. My job is to help pack all the prescribed items lo.. requires u to be accurate and fast.. the amount and types of drugs they have is of cox small house see big house compared to my NS days. See until i blur blur^infinity... Made a couple of mistakes but they din scold me la.. but still very paiseh. But I nv get wrong drug or wrong strength at least. Haha self consolation. Its always the quantity. Dunno eh jus can't count properly. Quantities so weird cox 1 strip of tab, some is 14, some is 7, some is 30. den the quanity required is in few hundereds sometimes. like 123? or i did one with 1068 today. Siao one la. Certainly need time to get used to it. But the ppl there are not bad la quite friendly..

Suddenly, the job as a hospital pharmacist(in the hospital pharmacy per se) seems alot less appealing tho they aren't the ones that pack(sometimes they do when short handed), they check thru prescriptions, fill in/key in orders, counter check the stuff we pack, dispense/counsel patients, consult/discuss with doctors/patients over the phone, manage ppl like us....and lotsa of rubbish i haven go find out from them.. Hope to find out more abt their jobscope as time goes by. but there are other pharmacists in the hospital la.. those in the wards..blah still got alot of other areas i guess.

almost blew my brains out jus now.. bout of sneezing started while i was on the bus to marina sq(it went to shenton way instead =( too long nv take 162 beyond city hall) so i popped a panadol flu. Or paracetamol + Pseudoephidrine (generic name i shld start using them more often) haha wadever. den jus now after i showered it came back again so pop goes in another tablet. but now ok le. weird..

Went to k box today. pity we didn't have time for the jin1 qu3 s. All the deng li juns and xiao hu duis were left unsang. And still got alot of new songs i wan to sing.

Changing Appetites dinner with ahnehkins... the food is not bad. but jus rem to go there on tues, fri and sat.. cox tues got 50% off cakes itz? i can't rem. fri n sat got 50% off waffles after 10 pm. So we restaurant hopped to cafe cartel after that.. cox after 9 there's 50% off all cakes. Was talking loads of crap there while gorging(k la not really) and snatching(away from sean) the cakes ard. haha..

tuition marathon tmr! fri sun mon! sian no fate with AH. they called when i was sleeping this morning. who ask me to off phone. but the thing was they jus told me yest they not hiring ppl liao. sianz. i m still jobless.

Oh i finally gotten my phantom of opera cd.. the live recording version of the one at the esplanade. the hmv vouchers came in handy! 30.95 is quite exp after all

And i queued 3 hrs for donut factory. can't believe i persisted. Things u can do when u have so much time after exams eh. Hahaha..

I 've been wanting to write this post... My Post Exam Post haha

for the others... a few more days only.. hang on! =)

Wad a paper to end with. I actually find this LSM open book mcq paper the hardest of all papers.. so stressful.. and the exam table suddenly seems so small.. my notes nearly flew all over n the txtbk nearly fell off. Nxt in difficulty level - marketing.. 44 marks from 2 essays.. which i scribbled rubbish.. rubbish that would be insufficient even if it was coherent.

Well I shld do better this sem considering i have one less mod to study if not i will kill myself(i hope i dun have to) or get another 'physical pharm' shock(I've a weak heart pls dun let it happen again)
Sighz. can only hope for the best. haha. Hols~ 3 mths!~ i'm gonna make tt movies webpage tt kenvin recc my homepage.

Mcvin was saying we are no more freshies le! man time flies.
We were back at carl's junior AGAIN. Just that sean wasn't in his fav shirt? Ok the terrestial n Indonesian ppl were missed as well. Can we go some other meaty place nxt sem. Haz!

I wanted to work immediately.. but AH is so inefficient.. and TTSH nv contact me le. Heard from kaihui KK looking for ppl. shall try there also. dowan to wait le. go there learn more abt women. =X haha and children.
Actually i wonder if it is a gd idea to find a temp job at these hospital pharmacies. that would mean spending all 4 hols of my uni yrs there. But then again there mite ba possibilty that i'll b there evey day after 4 yrs. so wads the big deal? And moreover i'm paid at least 6/hr now. compared to 5 a day during prereg. so tt could b considered a difference? haha. i need money to go hk at the end of the yr anw. MONEY!

And of cox. Camp. Headache. alot of unsettled stuff. But shld b fun i hope.

套一句 marketing tutor 的话:
打战时,要越战越勇!! 千万不可在最后的紧要关头松懈下来! 所以不要再偷懒了!! 加油 =)

The Phantom of the Opera...Inside my mind...

I can't wait to get the cd..the songs are really stuck in my head

The stage effects and props were really WOW. liked the river and boat scene the most. And of course the powerful vocals.

I wan to watch it again!

9 more days..hurrryyyyyy

I feel like my head is gonna overflow. and burst.. the neurons bursting into flames due to too much firing! and all the tracts are all jammed up. and wadever~ my poor puny brain is jus too overtortured n abused too badly.

ignore me..

ya dun worry we will all survive this.

In order not to disappoint my fans who often come n see no new posts.. tada! i'm blogging. haha

Ya guess my life is ya.. as interesting as urs if u wan to know. mug n mug lo.

Jus some random observation.. realise that there's this over usage of the word hub. eveything's hub hub and hub. From, tourism hub, biomedical hub to HDB Hub n AMK Hub(i jus walked past today) to starhub... i'm jus wondering la.. doesn't all this make eveyone a hubber. wadever.

Overall, i felt that the modules this sem are making much more sense and certainly much more interesting, no doubt i still complain abt how difficult it is to study for the exams.

gov n politics:
really gives an insight to many unknown controversies or conspiracies(shhz =X) Gives an understanding to why certain policies(like pay rise.. shhhz..) must be there.. and blah.. and also makes u more aware of the current moves of the gov.. blah. I mus say its rather an eye opener module to a certain extent.

mkting:
After pharm pract, realised that almost every job scope of potential paths in the future has got a marketing component in it. So wad are u pharmers waiting for? Sort of enjoyed the module i guess.

Physio:
wads new. oh maybe the pseudohermarphroditism part of repro was interesting.

Pharm pract:
Its a v gd to know module.. i think it would b damn nice if we are not tested.. cox i really dunno how to study. Am i suppose to memorise MOH's mission statement? And all the professionalism stuff Ya u know wad i'm talking abt.

Biochem:
I simply dun like this module. Its jus plain boring. someone pls teach me how to appreciate this.

yesterday's session was far from therapeutic. haha. weird. -_- nvm nxt time ba. but dun worry your hair is nice.

I'm still stuck with my SS essay. After marketing, now the SS haunt is on. in a few weeks time.. the physio haunt, pp haunt, biochem haunt and marketing hanut - with a vengeance would b back as well. All at the same time. Or shld i say it has already started? if only i could throw dice to determine when does haunt begin like the hilltop haunted house board game. Aha. God help me.. all these ghosts go away la.

Sianz. -_-

i reckon by the time i finish my SS the music n lyrics would have turned into a classic oldie. how ah >.<

The colorgenics test - http://www.paulgoldinresearch.com/cg/

At this time you are feeling 'uptight' and you are urgently in need of rest and relaxation; but perhaps even more than that you need to overcome that feeling that you have been 'hard done by' and treated with a complete lack of consideration. Maybe you have, but whatever may have been the cause of your inherent anxiety, you regard the situation as intolerable. Your are, however, sufficiently competent to turn that situation around - you have overcome similar problems in the past, and really this one isn't too different.

You are working extremely hard - perhaps even above and beyond the call of duty. You are preparing for the future and therefore trying to build a firm trouble-free foundation upon which you may base all of your dreams and aspirations.

You have a high opinion of yourself. It is perhaps because of this self-centredness that you become exasperated when you feel that your needs are misinterpreted by those around you. When this happens - and it does quite often - you feel that there is no-one that can understand the way you feel and it is because of this egocentric self that you are quick to take offence.

Stresses resulting from a recent disappointment have led to considerable trepidation. It would seem that there seems to be so much left undone. Everything surrounds you with that air of uncertainty. You badly need to feel a sense of security and whatever it takes to protect you against further disappointment. At this particular time you doubt that things could be any better in the future but you are sticking to your guns and refusing to take advice from any source.

Since in the recent past all of your hopes and aspirations have been denied you, you are now convinced that the future will hold nothing but anxiety so therefore 'why bother?' You would love to get away from it all, to escape from the trials and tribulations of this mundane existence and fall into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, which will protect you from the lack of appreciation and give you the chance to start afresh.

haven blogged for ages.. sch is.. yes the same. how interesting can it get. other than sci canteen getting best nus canteen. wth. sth wrong with those ppl's taste buds. i aren't tt picky rite.
sligtly slacker in terms of lects and tuts but certainly not in terms of the things to mug and do. Ok i talking fei hua here.

metup with the cathigh gang. Finally! haha i think i missed u all.. n kc we all love u la. no need to express ur love for me so openly on the tagboard. shyt i sound so gay. Ya u all rulzz..for today only. haha no la.

meeting up with therapy group nxt wk. also v long nv see them liao... yay.

coffee taste ever better than b4. =P so do milo rite.

I never knew that other ppl's blogs could have such an impact on me. seriously.. i should go wake up my idea..

in any case, i m thankful that marketing is over. time to catch up my other modules and high time to start on my SS assignment.

can't seem to stop snacking. help. especially snacking ties in closely with mugging according to jw's theory. which is a gd thing also actually. means i m doing work. but still its bad.

caught just follow law with my mum. haha. i always watch jack neo's production with her. it has become a movie-ly affair.

Its quite nice actually. really reminded me of my army days. damn damn funny. the shooting of arrows, the email CC & BCC thingy, the not following chain of command(shoot letters or email to the top is the most effective/fastest way to-get-things-done method), pushing ard n siaming of saikang n blame, the humchi-ness of so and so, the no. of secret stores or things to condemn or the huge amt of dunno-where-to-put but can't throw items. ahaha. I can't elaborate much la. wait i kena jailed or wad. but its really hilarious. Fann wong's n gurmit's performance were rather commendable too. but.. ahaha go watch on mon n tues la. 7 bucks. shld b worth it.

saw 7 lamborghinis parked outside hilton hotel today.

Madness man. Totally.

what a sight to behold lo. Got red, orange, yellow n black i think
so many ppl were taking pictures n my lousy cam on my hp couldn't capture them together clearly.

7 million dollars worth parked outside the hotel hahaha. imagine them turned into 1 dollar coins. u will drown in it la. i dunno how come i have such a weird idea suddenly.

realised i haven been updating as frequently as i normally do. i think this is wad i called bottleneck-瓶颈 lol~ talking cock. anw 祝大家新年快乐, 猪年行大运!! =)

CNY has been pretty normal for me.. other than me upgrading to 表叔 or 表舅. haha my new niece luvs the sound of the mahjong. She's less than a month old.. n she performs flutter kicks n chuckles when we wash the tiles, and the thing is the mahjong table is jus bside the bed.. n she can fall asleep peacefully later when we're still playing. I think my cousin must have been playing alot of mahjong when she was pregnant. Excellent 胎教 man. Welcome to the mahjong family =) Oh ya btw she's called jielin. its like the 4th jielin i've heard or met. More jielins.. O.o

Ya of cox wads new yr without mahjong... I'm still in the positive region now since the 1st day heee..

Went marina to look at the 运势 of the 十二生肖. The OX one looked really bad la.. Everything from health, career, money to love.. everything is jus BAD. Its worse than the rabbit one lo cp. N i dunno y u so paranoid. haha.

Break more than 1/2 way thru liao. n i barely touched my sch work.. but its okie! i dun have any tests when sch starts! can u believe it? n i m in pharmacy.. how is tt possible?! haha shyt. M i gloating? haha no la. i shall do some work too. still got 3,4 more days. =)

Continue to have fun!

Phew i finally can breathe.. both literally n metaphorically.. or wadever la.

Crazy hectic week finally over and hols are finally here. hope i din do tt badly for physio.. but def not as well as the CA last sem. but nvm la..

Had a tmc reunion yest..at botak jones! not the tuas branch of cox.. went to the clementi one.. mayb nxt time can bring uni ppl there. nice n cheap western food... Had fun crapping abt the old times..Damn classic n hilarious jokes.. ahaha.. ayez those were the times man. nice to see everyone doing ok.

dinner with 77 peeps... this sem it has bcome thurs nites out instead of fridays.. but its okie cox i have no sch on alt fridays =P Muahaha. happy birthday again joa.

Yearly ritual of bouts of sneezing due to wiping away god-knows-how-come so much dust can accumulate, clearing away heaps n piles of rubbish, stoning n slacking n reminiscing while looking at old photos n cards n notes n letters/notes... ya my nose finally got back to normal. I laughed out aloud when i saw this card tt says from:cabbage (pls dun kill me if u're reading this =P)
oh ya i saw this customer service course booklet which i gotten during my NS days within the pile of mess.. then i saw this scenario based qns: You're at the dispensary, a patient hands in a prescription form and upon checking you realised you've run out of medication. What would you do? -- is this going to be our pharm pract exam qns =X haha.

Anyway, wish u guys have a great piggy year! Pigs are gonna rule the world tmr!! Best of luck in collecting angpaos n gambling =P n ya enjoy this break!!!

The world is really small indeed. But so long u're in it my world would b a happy one =)

busy week. And another busier week ahead. Pharm bazaar plus physio CA. but its ok CNY term break is coming =)

Had a great weekend =)

I think i m really stupid tho.
haha nvm time to get back to work.

0! 0! 7! BANG! AHHHHHHH!!!

haha this game tt nv fails to entertain. n its a darn effective recipe for generating highness n hysteria among ppl, laughter spasms n most imptly - to clear up our leftovers.

haha it was a damn fun night =)

Thanks for all the yummy food and all the fun of cox! I'm sure u all enjoyed my prawns n the banana choc =P haha. And a great birthday to all 4 birthday babies - yt, jl, jw n zuee =) (from most belated to the future. we are zai rite? celebrate 4 together)

haha u guys rox big time.

I donated blood today!!! Half a packet only tho. I hope it was at least half a packet -_-

haha lousy me saw stars popping out as the day turned into nite n the surroundings grew dark n my limbs start to go numb like within matters of seconds after like a few minutes... hahaha sian tiao man. So they removed the needle, elevated my legs n asked me to lie down lo -_-

Haha i think i m too skinny.. not enough blood. or maybe it was the insufficient breakfast. AIYA excuses! I will try again until i dun feel faint!

tt doctor was damn niao. When i answered him that i had spongecake n a glass of milk for breakfast he asked me to be A MAN and eat more solid n nutirtious stuff. OK i will BE a MAN tmr. who wans to buy me breakfast? MUst be nutritious and lArge serving.. enuff for me to skip lunch according to him. but ok la the ppl there are generally v friendly n nice..n free milo n oreo. oh the bandage's pretty cool too. but still i was feeling rather paiseh la...lao kuey man. lol! but there was this guy tt assured me tt his 1st time also lydat.. and moreover there was this other guy who "fainted" longer than me also. =p

I only finished one chap of the marketing txtbk. sian shld have bought the book earlier.. now got so much to catch up.. i have so many things to read this sem~ aren't this sem suppose to b slack!?

the nice cool blue bandage.. with smiley faces on it.

Today's pract was -_-|||| so drained now.

I think the stress factor far far exceeds the fun factor today vs last week. maybe its our bench. most of us were so slow. or rather its me la haha. the blardy capsules were so hard to fill, esp the charcoal ones. but ys always so fast! thanks for helping me paste/cut labels everywk so tt i can hand in before the trolley is pushed away n the patient is gone or dead or wadsoever. haha nxt wk mus work faster sianz.

Went out with cathhigh kakis on sat. Haha for a moment it did felt like it was back to a typical weekend during army. didn't have to worry abt anything. Kayaking at ECP was funny but certainly not fun. Haha i think those peeps fisihng at bedok jetty mus have either hated us to the core or had a laugh of their time. haha i shall not elaborate to save someone from further disgrace. Went to eat katong laksa again. And of cox mahjong to end it all. haha.

i think i have very interesting modules this sem. Marketing's lectures are rather entertaining n fun. there will always be some funny ad or video. but i m clueless when it comes to the tutorial. How to study for a business mod ah?

Government n politics of sg. I think this is even better. level 2000 political sci module. I mus b out of my mind. It feels like history during sec3/4 all over again jus minus the spoonfeeding of points, plus a whole lot of readings, hassale of sieving out of points, n general paper writing skills n wadever. damn demanding. cheowlit r u majoring in political sci or history? whichever it is. i think u're damn zai haha.

Pharm practice - Interesting practs.. but. too stressful la. Jus flipped thru the lecture notes for thurs lect, and there was this slide which wrote - What is empathy? I was like HUH? I mean ya we need to know how to talk to our patients..but the idea of learning wad empathy is.. haha stucked me as if we're totally heartless n cold-blooded ppl. well maybe we're are.

Celebrated elvin's birthday. Thanks for the crab treat~ it was really shiok. esp the mantou + chilli crab sauce. Jus tt it was abit exp eh lol~ We always end up lazing somewhere n slacking n sipping tea/coffee. n do nothing =) But somehow doing nothing feels gd.

will upload some pics soon

Birthdays, Birthdays and more birthdays. Gosh.

I thot when my common peers/batch of ppl have all turned 21, i woun have to fret abt such things. But to date, I've attended or celebrated 4 person's birthday already. And its only mid jan. probably a few more coming up towards end of jan. Help. Save my pocket. Save my time. Save my brain cells from all the present-buying.

I've come to realised celebrating birthdays are inevitable, and its probably a time to meetup with friends n have fun or catch up with each other.

Anyway, a happy birthday to all u adorable jan babies! i still love u all despite my complains. pls dun take it too heart LOL~

I seriously need to start mugging. Argh.

STUPID RAIN. I want to go out.

did the birthday test. For entertainment purposes - Realised that me(6nov) , sean(15aug) n bx(6sep) have the same results. Hey we ahnehkin guys are def gd catches man. Dunch u all agree? So wad u gers waiting for =P

Your Birthdate: November 6

For you, love is a natural progression from friendship. You are almost always friends first. In love, you are loyal, steady, and honest. You are not a cheater or even much of a flirt. You are likely to stay friends with your ex... and open to rekindling something in the future. Number of True Loves You'll Have: 4 Number of Times You'll Have Your Heart Broken: 5 You are most compatible with people born on the 6th, 15th, and 24th of the month.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean For Your Love Life?

I jus had supper! And it consisted of ah ballings in almond and peanut soups, fried carrot cake, curry chicken + bread, mutton soup, wu xiang rojak. Oh n my siew bao! *burps* -- tts why i'm blogging now.

And i finally went to the newly renovated n reopened National Musuem. Haha. for 5 bucks, I thot it would jus b a "go in walk one round" and be done in an hour or so but haha think we spent 3,4 hours looking at the exhibits. eheh it was surprisingly rather interesting. I was amazed by the little setup/device which allows u to pull sth like a handle or trigger n the scent of certain spices could be smell thru the inverted cone shape-like outlet. And all the interactive gadgets and blah blah. The whole interior design of the musuem was nice too.

yunnan outing was fun. Discovered a new game called bonanzza i think at mind cafe. Sth to do with planting beans n trading beans haha damn funny. A super noisy game. Its really like a market when we play it. plus its a damn scheming game la. haha.
