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.

545 am at airport! argh and i am still here now.

Miss me lots from 16 - 26 dec. Miss me lots during xmas. Sorry folks no more xmas cards this yr. Send me mine tho! =P

Yunnan here i come!

3 more days. Oh no n i'm still feeling under the weather. this is bad.

Shopping for winter stuff was fun tho =)

Oh ya i forgot to mention abt chalet. So many ppl pangseh-ed. Mayb they dun like me. So nxt time dun ask me to call them haha. end up only the usual grp of us. but well, shld b thankful that there is still a grp of us. heheh.

Think my body is punishing me for abusing it for the past few weeks.. or rather it embarked on a auto detox process.. keep having diarrhea yest. Its just water or digestive juices or wadever lo. Almost fainted in the toilet haha. felt so weak. My BP mus have been v low den. n my urine became super conc. haha my physio's not bad eh.

5 more days to yunnan. its so fast.

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.

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

Pigging out. =P 

roof top terrace at vivo after exams =) 

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!

I feel like crap, look like crap, had a crappy paper, and wrote crap for answers.

Thanks to a crappy lecturer n a crappy module.

Thanks for bearing with my lack of vocab n load of crap here.

on a less crappy note, thanks for the card cheowlit. yep see in in feb! Have fun in canberra n sydney.

Ok i'm off to make the next half of my day a non-crappy one.

Anat's over! over! I'm like so happy! like for wad..

i'm feeling as if my exams are over. hoW!?! -_- didn't study anything today unless u wan to count the 1+ hrs i spent at med library creating a din for other ppl by dozing off(i dun think i snored so its ok), talking rubbish, and cracking the crankiest jokes.

slap me! *ouch. i m still cranky. shit.

Lastly, n most imptly my mum n dad. Thanks for bearing with the ridiculous me from time to time all these yrs. Pls stay healthy n cheery n young! =P

i keep having mood swings nowadays. i think i m weird.

Jus now while walking home from the bus stop i suddenly felt v happy n contented. jus from looking at the blue sky n sunset n the nice clean environment n fresh air after the rain. I was even looking at the flowers n birds.. I felt at peace with myself. Everything jus looks damn pleasant. ok this sounds damn crappy n cheesy=P
While jus moments b4 at sch i was still cursing n swearing the group of bastards that complained to the sci dean abt the "cheating" in the mid term test thus resulting in a difficult retest for my atmo module just now. I hope they will fail n do even lousier this time rd. serves them rite.*evil*

Hmm think i'm starting to learn to appreciate the little things in life. HAHA. Even mum cooked my fav ladies finger n cod fish. N chocs are really good mood lifters.

Luckily no throwing of rotten eggs or aggressive hurling of abuses happened after i posted my wishlist. Tho there were some comments. HAHA. come to think of it i think it was quite a bad idea. K la shldn't be asking much from u guys le.

Celebrated yf's bday yest at nydc.. Haha dunno y always end up there. But it was really fun! esp after we when went essential brews again. Yt became our suaning target since elvin n joa not ard. cannot always lydat. i'll have bad karma if start suaning ppl at every outing Hahaa.

btw i forgot to add a phrase original version of the grey's anatomy DVD set. cox someone already got brilliant ideas.

finally can catch a breather this weekend. i forsee a busy week up ahead!

After much careful consideration, i've decided to be shameless by putting up a wish list. In case u dunno, my birthday is jus ard the corner. HAHA. Anyway as many of u all have said, to save u guys the trouble and agony faced upon when buying presents, as well as for my own good (many of u guys who had 21st bdays already came out clean n claimed tt they regret not telling us wad they wanT) anyway crapz. here it is:

It is not in any particular order of preference. Here are some stuff i would like/need

1. Anything that is handmade is welcome. I know u guys will say - DREAM ON

2. Anything that u will think i will like. I think this is crap too.

3. A jacket - those cotton type. Not the plastic-type windbreaker material ones. preferably puma or adidas if u asking abt brand preference. But its kinda exp. haha so nvm.

4. A waistpouch. Think i would need that for my yunnan trip.

5. A watch. No leather straps/belt pls. I dowan to stink the present u all give me. Oh preferably analog too. digital watches are sianz.

6. A cap.

7. Wallet. I need those tt can put alot of cards. n pls ensure the note compartment is big enough to put 50 dollar notes. its not tt i have alot of 50 dollars notes tho i wished i had. And NOT those BIG BIG n LONG LONG AHBENG ones. I jus dun like my notes to stick out.

8. T-shirts/polos are welcomed too. I normally wear size S sometimes M if the cutting is v small.

9. A pair of casual sneakers. My converse ones are going to give way soon. My shoe size is 7 or 8.

10. Grey's Anatomy DVD set. Season 1. If u wan to buy season 2 also can =P

Okie i'm not greedy or wad. I jus dowan u guys to end up buying the same thing. Okie thats abt all i can think abt. Thanks for bearing the shameless me in this post.

got alot of things i wan to blog about!! but this week was simply too hetic!

ppda CA again on monday! felt tt i def woun do as well as the 1st one. but still hoping for the best eh. Felt like that i had an electrical current thru my brain after the test.

thanks kh for the dove chocs! she's so funny la. she forgot to return her bowl during lunch today so i jus returned for her after she left. Then at night after like so long den she suddenly smsed me to say she forgot abt the bowl n thank me. haha no prob again!

Yunnan grp stayover on mon night/tues. it was a bonding n sharing session i supposed. still abit icey i feel. or mayb its jus me? or mayb me n xt? haha. Finally went to the legendary hongkong cafe at siglap. Bumped into qw n realised tt kelvin knows who n who whom i also know. haha its really a small world out there man. Didn't really ate alot there cox i jus ate a bar of choc b4 that. but the ba cuo mee beside it looks gd haha.

Watched death note on weds. the gers kept oogling at their Lye-to(Light) and L. wads with 'L's. No meinus for me to oogle. Haha. Felt tt the front part was abit boring but overall it was quite an entertaining movie. Its rather amazing but also rather scary how Light plans his killings. So scheming yet so brilliant! haha. Guess i'll watch part 2 too.. mainly to know wads going on la.. but i think it will jus get more complicated n more n more unrealistic haha

apologise for the inactivity for the past wk. wasn't feeling v right somehow. haaA

Had therapy session on fri. Talked abt lots of weird topic. Haha. of cox there was the usual bout of suaning. At least there wasn't bloodshed. Vivocity's roof garden is quite an ideal place to rot n stone. Nice view nice breeze. Just abit too crowded for now.














b4 tt went munchie monkey for dinner b4 pru meeting. Rather nice place to relax and escape from the boring school routine and setting. Pretty decent food at affordable prices. Pasta desserts blah. of cox cannot compare to outside restaurants. but MAI HIAM its not bad la. we were planning to go there once a month haha.

Pharmacy week at suntec. seems really crowded.. sgporeans really nv fail to turn up at free events n freebies blah. Wan me to measure BMI n do fat analysis again? NO way man. had enough of tt crap while i was a medic at tmc days haha. moreover i dowan to know how much fat content i have now also. i rather not know. haZ. But seems quite a informative thingy if we are allowed to interact with the pharmacists there n blah.

Olio at suntec is a nice place to mug. Haha. perfect lighting, nice ambience, reasonably quiet somehow there weren't many ppl in the restaurant even tho its an wkend. Excellent service too. Oh nice fruite floats =) i forgot i shldn't b advertising wait more n more ppl go there. aha.

I nid to exercise man. pls stop the haze from coming. i felt like a super sinful glutton these days.
