Updates for the last 3 weeks

Good day! Day 28.....

I've been rather busy with studies. Complete a health promotion critque on 26 Sept and EMBARK on another health promo project on that day. Only managed to submit on 17 Oct 4+am. The deadline was supposed to be on 11 Oct but realised that we were on the wrong track at the 11th hour and met up on 10th Oct at Paya Lebar SingPost after work. With the kind understanding of the lecturer, we were managed to extend it to a later date. On 10 Oct, while trying to struggle to complete the 2nd health promotion assignment, we gotten back the marks for our 1st assignment. We just barely make the marks. Sigh. This has in one way or another affected me for the 2nd assignment for this module. But well, we still got to carry on right? Ya.... so that week was a disaster.

In addition, we had so many online discussions to do which constituents 20% for health promotion and 25% for paeds modules. And the thing about such discussion is that, we cannot just post our views. We need to BACKUP with evidence from literature journals and books. This means we need TIME to do RESEARCH. With the health promo project in mind, how to do? And I have to be penalised for 5% of my paeds module for not posting for 1 of the discussions. And now? I am busy with my paeds module project, which supposed to be dued on monday, yesterday, which I only started on Sat. Sigh. Thank god I'm not the only one that is not able to submit by this date, thus we were allowed to submit lastest by next mon. My project is around 80% completed. Just need to type in abit more info and put in pictures/photos. That's why I can take a breather to blog here for a while.

Want to hear more? I am doing ANOTHER module - Neurological Rehabilitation and we got to do weekly discussions too. Sigh. SOOOO many things, how I wish I had more time. Thank god neuro rehab module's assignment only due on 23 Nov. But well.. this assignment requires lots of reading. AT LEAST reading up on 10 literature articles. Sigh. I'm not here to complain but I'm just trying to relate what has happened to me for the past weeks.

On the other hand, thank GOD I decided to take leave. Although I took leave because I thought my Paeds and health promotion module will finish on time, so that I can rest, even doing nothing at home. Apparently, I even thought of going to HK for a short holiday. Luckily it did not happen. Or maybe it should. Maybe if I had booked the tickets, I might have finished my assignments earlier, just like my last year BKK trip. =)

Thank god after this paeds assignment, I only left with 1 more online discussion for this module. Then I will just left with my neuro rehab module. I just got to pray hard for my health promo 2nd assignments to be good or even excellent, so that I would be able to get least do well for this module, taking into consideration that my online discussion may just pass or even fail ( x cross my fingers) as I think I didn't post enough and my barely past assignment 1.

Well, after that "dramatic" scene of lecturer didn't receive me and my friend assignment for my cognitive module, we have not heard from her since then. Not sure how we fare in that particular assignment.

So that's all about studies... ...


Social life? Not much of a social life for me, except that I had a gathering with my buddies gang on 10 Oct because it was sZ BELATED bday. I don't even remember if not for aZ.... haha... EVEN aZ doesn't remember too if not for Nini.... LOLx....  sorry ah... I only remember someone else bday... lolx...=X something.... 22... something March... =X

Yeah. So they went to "Fish Market" for dinner. For a moment I thought they were at a MARKET! Just like Lau Pat Sat that type.... So I asked again where it was. And as you know, I'm a TOWN IDIOT. I have no idea where orchard and douby gaut was in relation to somersat. I was at Orchard Central BTW. So I walked and walked. Only to realise that I am walking towards orchard when I supposed to meet the guys at Douby Gaut. Then I got to walk back and took the train. Ya... laugh all you want la... =P

So when I reached, the guys almost finished their food. wC brought along his gf too. hC, aZ and of course the bday boy sZ was there.

And this is the food that I ordered, with recommendation from our chef sZ:

I couldn't finish this because the fishes were quite big pieces and that I had 4 pieces instead of the usual 3.

After that, wC went off with his gf and left me and the rest. We went into some figurines shop in Plaza Singapura. And while looking around, I caught sight on some of the figurines that SY keeps. There is quite alot of them in 2-3 shops at that level. As we didn't get sZ a present, the guys decided to get him one while he went in to look at the figurines. For me, I caught sight of a figurine that I quite like and it is:

I like this because this is the only game that I managed to complete in PS1 during my A level time. I like him because he looks macho, smart looking and cute in FF9.

Other than that, I like Garnet and Vivi too.

Garnet

 Vivi

As I don't really like FF8 character, so I didn't play that on the PS1.

The reason why I like the dragonica game now is also because it is more "magicial" and more animation, "cute cute" type, rather than those bloody type. I can play those bloody type but not for long. Sigh. But now no time to play. Maybe after I complete my assignment. Someone was saying I will take YEARS to complete.... Maybe.

After that they decided to go to Plasma KTV. When we reached there, apparently we were the 1st group as we were early (9+pm). Didn't know that sZ is a regular there. The guys were there before too. So played many many rounds of dices game and losser got to drink. Haha... the guys were "afraid" that I get drunk cause I just "dare" to open the cover even though the risks are high. Hmm... I didn't really get drunk before cause usually I don't drink. The only time that I vomitted was when I was out with my squadmates during CNY period. I think when I'm drunk, I wouldn't laugh like some girls do, I won't blabber like some people do. I think I will just fall asleep. It almost happened during that CNY period. But after that throwing up, I was more or less awake because I will never let my guards down. Maybe that is the reason why I only go drinking with my very closed friends.

And the WORST thing to happen is sZ DROP my LAPTOP!!!! ARGH.....

Anyway, this is the picture of the group (me-hC-aZ-sZ):

Friendship since 2001

8 years of friendship!

Sister and Brothers!

(But did I hear u all say Brother and dog?)

(WTH.... lolx)

sZ was "fed" with lotsa drinks from the lady boss that night. That night he was suppose to finish like 10 sec of hard liquor? Now I can't imagine how SY tried to drink so much of alcohol during the anniversary of the ship and his incek retirement/resignation. Anyway, we left the place close to 1+am or was it 2+? And aZ, thanks for asking how am I and how I'm doing. Although I didn't reply much to what you've asked but thanks for asking. =)

Before that Sat, on Thurs was the meetup with Dr Tan, Singfor, Alex and hamster!!!

We decided to be the "Steering committee" and hopefully to resuscitate the Overseas Expedition Project that we went in 2004. It was a nice catching up with all. Have not seen most of them since 2007.

The gals:

Sorry that it's abit dark

Anyway I had slightly new hairstyle. I pin my fringe up. And I think it makes me look "Brighter" and more "alert" but it makes me look like a shih tsu. =X

I guess that's about all?

And of course I'm still waiting..... waiting for something to happen. Will it? Even if I can't convince you?

Marriage

This is a song that was beginning played at the beginning of the show “芳心有李”

Fann's thought about relationship and marriage after her past failed relationships:

“少了一点期待，就少了一点伤害。”

But well, she still get married eventually. =)

Still remembered recently my colleagues and I were talking on the topic on marriage.

They were past 30s and 40s. They advised me that if I intend to get married, I should start looking for it, maybe after my degree. And if should I found someone I like, I should quickly grab it. haha... my reply to them was,

"where got so easy. You like them doesn't mean that they like you."

Even if both like each other, there may be things that is preventing them from being together.

To me, I don't want to get married for the sake of getting married. I want to get married(if I ever get married) because I love the guy and I want to have a home with him. To share our lives together, in happiness or woes, to be each other's soulmate.

Like a colleague said, if you get married for the sake of getting married and because of your parents, etc and you don't loved the person, then, when someone comes along or when your parents past away, the reasons for the couple to stay together will disappear.

Seems like many people getting married. I will be attending at least 2 wedding dinner this year. One is my YEC friends and the other is my super glue sister.

Next year, my ex-colleague is getting married. She has "booked" me to be her bridesmaid.

Sometimes attending weddings... don't know if it is a good thing or not. Of course I am happy for my friends. On the other hand, it just show how "terrible" I am. Yeah, well, I do want to get hitch but only to the one that I like. I like not get hitch just for the sake of getting hitch.

HAHa.... maybe I'll just remain Single after all. A fortune teller once has my life told. She said I will marry rather late. But I do get to enjoy quite good life at old age.

Updates for the past 2 weeks

Sorry for the long absence... ...

Life has been tiring and busy I suppose.

For studies, I was busying rushing assignment for Cognitive and Perceptual Rehabilitation module the 2-3 weekends ago. Working on 6000 words assignment after work is no joke. Usually tends to only do it on weekends as I am often too tired to do anything after work. Now that cognitive and perceptual module is over, I have 3 more modules to go: Health Promotion, Paediatrics and Neuro Rehab. Looking forward for all to be over ... ... It is tiring to be a full time worker and part-time student.

As for work-related updates, 2 weeks ago, me and my work colleagues had to put on performance during one of the meeting at HQ in conjunction with Racial Harmony Day and we had arranged a fusion dance (with mainly Indian dance steps). We took less than 1 week to choreograph, practice and refine our steps. I guess it all come down to teamwork. As someone who can't dance, I am suprised that I can "shake" too... lolx.... I guess it all comes down to how comfortable and how confident I am.

Haha..... some photos on the actual day:
(some quality may not be good as it is taken from printscreen from video, some are blurred as some colleagues may not want their faces to be shown here)









Actually on that day I was a little tired as I slept only at 4am to rush some editing to photos and animations for a presentation for our centre at HQ. But mind over body..... and I survived. Some of us went out after work to look for some shoes and we chill out at starbucks before going home:

Drinks and cheesecake

Me at 9 plus pm despite sleeping only for 3+ hours

Destress. Time out.
Recently I have also started playing online game. I realised it is through online game that I forget or put other things/problems on hold when I put all my focus on the game only. The kick and sense of achievement is there. When you conquer one quest, you will want to conquer more. Perhaps that is why guys like gaming so much. It is because their innate need is to conquer. That is why in a recent conversation with my colleagues: Why men like BITCHES? This is a title of a book. It is because the challenge is there. When many people fighting for it and he wins, the sense of satisfication and achievement is there. Anything easily achieved or gained will be taken for granted and lost in interest. Lesson learnt.


Anyway, I've gotten a BF. In case you don't know him, he is Mr Wong. His name is Bu Dao. So, you can call him Bu Dao Wong. Here he is .... .....

My not 1 but 2 boyfriends.....

My FIRST Kiss *shy*

And today, I got a very nice drawing from an ASD kid during therapy:

I see his strengths in this drawing. Do you?
