happy day

i feel happy today even though,
i've been slacking too much and wasting my time (not doing anything useful since uni started); and
i got woken up by parmesh's calls yesterday and this morning which kinda shocked me (and i really don't like getting shocks in the morning); and
i went to uni today even though its my official free day (still can't believe that my group is so lucky to have every thurs off).

YEA, but still happy,because,
its my MUMMY'S BIRTHDAY today! and i called her just now to wish her and she was happy + excited from receiving my birthday wishes (so cute right) and i'm happy whenever mummy's happy; and
i kind of enjoyed assisting parmesh today in the clinic (actually glad that i went to assist her. i'll be wasting my time at home anyways and i get to meet my friends in the clinic and chat with them. loll); and
i can watch city hunter (with ENG SUBS) tonight. second last episode though. i'll miss lee min ho! hahaha

life's good when u feel good. =D but but, i need to start being disciplined (study more and eat less!).

yea and i'm so not looking forward to celebrating my birthday with friends. i don't like to celebrate with a big group of friends. prefer small groups' celebration and like to celebrate with my family the most. mummy said when she come to melb in late aug, she'll celebrate with me a super belated one. awww she's the best :D but yea its alright, not that i really want my birthday to be celebrated. i seriously don't mind just staying at home and do what i like to do.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YT! :D

just want to say how wonderful u are as a friend :) always there for me when i'm feeling lousy, home-sick etc.

things hasn't been going too smooth for u, but yea, u know u can overcome all these.



just keep believing,



and keep smiling (:



i'll cook/bake whatever u want to eat when i'm back in sg at the end of the year, so look forward to that. in the meantime, just eat more and healthily :D



once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!


love u lots :D

holidays #6 - say hello to year 3 sem 2

before i forget,
here's the bread and butter pudding that i made. first attempt at making and it was really quite a success. loll doesn't look that appetizing tho.


what it looks like inside:



had a crazy last day of holiday today. long story and i'm simply too lazy to get into the details. but yea, just a lot of rushing from places to places after church with some crazy friends. loll.

jasmine arrived in melb today and i got my stuff (including the loupes that i ordered) from her. big thanks to her for helping me to bring over some stuff from sg).




yes this thing called loupes is freaking expensive (S$1,700) but it is also because i got the 'branded' one and with the Oakley frame. HAI. but my rationale is that i'm going to use it throughout my course+career (hopefully) so i guess its worth it to get the more expensive one.
i'm going to try to start using the loupes on my patients within these few weeks and see how it goes.

i've been trying to read up on rem pros notes since last monday and its really a TORTURE. studying during holidays never work out (at least, for me).
tomorrow i'll just be taking history + oral exam + impression for my rem pros patient so i won't need that much of new technical knowledge. haven't met this patient before but he sounds okay (rather friendly) on the phone. mr xx, pleaseee be nice to me.

timetable this sem is really slack (but the subjects are definitely not easy). loll i actually have my thurs off officially. BUT, i kind of have to assist parmesh in her clinical session though its definitely not a must. sighh, how awesome it is to get a day off but oh wells, i'll just take it as an opportunity to learn from my peers.

haven't got back all our results and i'm getting very scared. but yea, i always believe that God has a plan for us and i'll accept whatever He gives to me :)

holidays #5 - one more week of hols

omg just one more week to uni reopening. SIGH.

felt like i haven't slacked enough. i've got lots of things - big/small; important/unimportant; urgent/not urgent - to do and i'm trying to do them diligently one step at a time.

i've been watching city hunter (already caught up with what's showing in korea now and waiting for this week's episodes to be uploaded). loll i've been really desperate for internet cause i've been using too much that its running low and so i had to use my iphone to watch and head over to friends' houses to watch. this is really bad i know.

there's more dramas that i want to watch but i highly doubt that there's time and internet allowance for me to do so :( kind of abandoned my taiwanese variety shows for kdramas this holiday. kdramas are really really addictive.

besides watching dramas diligently, i've been cleaning my apt and doing laundry almost every day. don't ask me why, but housework and laundry seems never-ending or maybe cause i feel like i've got time, so i decided to maintain the cleanliness of my apt which is not exactly that necessary. just see how i survived through the past sem with once-every-two weeks of thorough housework and the place still seemed reasonably clean.

i should really get down to doing some more serious/important/meaningful stuff. like, revising prosthodontics (in exactly a week's time, i'll have to start my pros treatment for my pt), calling all my patients to arrange for appts/reviews etc, check out the books that i'll need for the coming sem (which i might have to go to lib at uni - it just sucks to go back to uni during holidays =/ ), EXERCISING, meeting up with friends that i'm supposed to meet up during the hols, looking for a part-time job (getting so lazy to do so) ETC ETC.

lazy ttm.

holidays #4 - food is love

i made baked eggs this morning for brunch :) really easy to make and its yum!
:) i added tomatoes and cheese below the eggs.


this was the baked oreo cheesecake that we made at maria's place yesterday. i somewhat prefer the non-baked one.


some random dish that i created. stir-fried beef (with prawns and broccoli) in wonton skin


next up will be bread and butter pudding this weekend (hopefully i really get down to doing it).

holidays #3 - secret garden :)

i've finished watching secret garden yesterday! awwww, hyun bin is sweet ttm. i liked him in other shows but he is just so cute in this show! :) hahaha.
started watching city hunter (another k drama) and i'm not yet addicted to it, probably cause the cast is not that attractive (loll), except maybe lee min ho.
have to start pacing myself or else i'll have no more internet left when uni starts. =/

i feel so lazy and comfortable lying on my bed, staring at my laptop, finding websites to surf and watching dramas. i kind of like this kind of lifestyle (staying at home and not going out). holidays ftw! :)

tomorrow i'll be hanging out at maria's house where we'll be baking :) i should really be disciplined and stop indulging in food (finished a whole tray of white choco tim tams in an hour yesterday. ohgosh.) but its uncontrollable and i swear i really feel hungry sometimes.

friday night i'll be watching fireworks at docklands (some winter event that only takes place during july) with su and tricia. i'm trying to curb my urge to go out and shop cause i think i've shopped enough and its really time to save money =/

i'm quite happy with my life now :)

sydney

holidays #2

went to sydney from 30jun - 4jul. we flew by tiger and omg, received the news when we were in sydney that tiger got grounded by the aviation dept. so stupid. yea and we spent half a day in sydney searching for options to go back to melb. i had to go back on time (that is 4 july, if not the latest 5th) cause i was flying to tassie on the 6 jul (and thank God this time i was taking jetstar). flights were expensive so we decided to go by rail (bus was the cheapest but we reckon train would be safer). 11 hours overnight train ride wasn't that bad after all. had to unpack my sydney stuff and pack my stuff for tassie on the 7th. spent half a day watching secret garden. only started watching then and i'm so addicted to the drama. i love hyun bin!! hahaa. yea i was so glued to my laptop that i didn't feel like going to tassie anymore.

sydney trip was okay (more fun than i expected). surprised at myself for remembering how to get around. my sense of direction is really not bad (or i guess getting around sydney is not that difficult). haha
mostly went to places that i've been before but i really don't mind cause they are really nice places that are worth going more than once. went to some places for the first time - manly beach, chat thai (oh man i love the food there) and whale watching. and i shopped quite a bit =/ need to start saving money now!

tassie is a lovely place, but the cold weather kind of made the whole trip less enjoyable. i brought sufficient warm clothings but i still shivered like crazy. the weather was bad. rained everyday =/ and we actually trekked at cradle mountain in the heavy rain in the thick snow for an hour or so. amazed at how i managed to do that. but the scenary was just breathtaking. everything was just covered with snow (kind of reminded me of one of the scene in the kdrama snow queen).

quite relieved to be back in melb after 10 days of travelling. went to maria's friend, jason's house to cook mee siam for them and we had a lazy sunday afternoon tgt, playing wii and just sitting around. jason's apt is really nice (facing crown) but his rent is just so ex. wish i was staying in such a beautiful apt though.

i get so irritated and easily pissed these few days. i don't know why, but i just cannot stand people who say lame things and think they are funny when it is not funny at all. somebody irritated me in person (multiple times) a few days ago and i really feel like asking him to shut up (but obviously i didn't). and another person sent me a text that pissed me off so much that i replied in a very unfriendly tone, and he sensed it so he replied saying that he was 'just joking'. whatever, seriously. and another person pissed me off on fb and i really feel like scolding him on fb but then again, i didn't cause things will become quite awkward i reckon. sigh i know they are doing it unintentionally but still, i'm just uncomfortable with it =/

i must learn to calm down and not get offended so easily.

going to cook something special for dinner - having a mini pot luck with su and tricia. hopefully it'll turn out nice :)
