im currently procrastinating doing my gen med essay. sigh. hate being back to the daily grind.
so anyways i was severely jetlagged ytd. slept pretty much the whole day and woke for a few hours to eat before going back to sleep again. the next time i have a holiday, im gonna have at least 2 days off to recover from jetlag and to just blob. the past 2 wks have been uber busy!
so this morning i was running late as always. decided to wear a new pair of shoes. and it just so happened dat it was raining. bloody weather. and i dunno how it happened but as i was walking to the car, i started to slip, lose my balance and then i thot i got my balance back but i didnt then i ended up crashing onto the concrete tiles on my driveway. landed on my right knee and fell on my left palm. damn painful! and cos it was raining and wet, my pants had this wet patch over my knee where i had landed. so i had to go back into the house and change my pants. and i was already running late. it was not a good morning. then on the way to work, i realised dat my knee was starting to bruise up pretty quickly. crap. but had to forget abt it in the meantime since i was already late!
so during work, we had a massive ward round cos nobody knew the patients, it was a completely new team. we had a relief reg cos the regular reg had gone off on her europe honeymoon. the hs had the previous 2 weeks off. and i had 2 wks off on holiday. the 4th yr was now on holiday. and we had a changeover of consultants. so NOBODY knew the patients. so ward round was extra long. and then having to weightbear on my newly injured knee was not good. by lunchtime, i realised dat my knee had swollen up, and there was definitely some form of haematoma. i was getting paranoid there mite be a blood collection into my joint or dat i had done some serious permanent damage. so decided to book an appt to see the doc in the aftn.
luckily the doc said the joint was fine but i definitely had some contusion outside of the joint. then she asked me if i had iced it. which obviously i had not since i was already running late. so there goes my basic first aid. i didnt RICE. rest ice compression elevation. instead i walked, no ice, did not compress, and weightbeared on it. so dats WNIDNCWB. seriously i think im not fit to be a doc. and also, im getting old. who the heck in my age slips and falls while walking to the car?!?! only an old lady would. i feel like one of those old ladies dat comes into the hospital with collapse ? cause.
and to make things worse, i was holding my phone in my left hand when i fell. so the phone suffered some casualties too. it now had an ugly scratch at the bottom corner. sigh. i dunno which one im more sad abt, the phone or my swollen knee. sigh. next time will try not to be an old lady.

future plans
everytime im on holiday in sg, i end up reading romance novels and watching tv drama, more specifically korean drama. it is probably fuelling my unrealistic ideals of wat a relationship shuld be but oh wat the heck..haha. every girl needs their cinderella and happily ever after fantasies. including me.
but then am i gonna plan my life ard finding my so called prince charming? um, i shuld think not. i was talking to a couple of girls today who have life plans dat include their future husband. they wanna buy a house together with their husband and have plans to go to paris for their honeymoon. the problem is they havent found the so called husband. in fact, they r still single. and so they r stuck, wanting to start investing but unable to buy a house becos they want to buy one with their future husband.
which made me think, how am i planning my future? i certainly am not gonna wait to marry before i start investing in my first house. heck, i would like to think im independent enuf to be able to make these decisions by myself. and the thing is yea im hoping for my own happily ever after but if i don't manage to find it, then dats ok cos really, i can do my own thing. buy my own house, go to paris on my own and explore the country if need be. im making my own plans and wat ive realised is dat im very lucky to be in my situation. i have a perfectly good life, with family and frens, a stable career dat will never be affected by the recession and im young and healthy. life awaits me and i think anything else would be counted as bonuses. i just need to drill dat into my head. but heck, im going back to watching my korean drama. lol.

no frills, lace or dots.
ive been shopping quite a bit this holiday and a discussion came up abt wat guys notice abt the female dress sense. do guys notice wat we wear anyways? i kno one guy in my class notices when i wear a new skirt. but he is weirdly observant towards both guys and girls. more guys than girls actually. lol.
most guys tend not to take much notice unless it's out of the ordinary or if it's extremely sexy. and wat girls tend to think looks nice may not even be noticed by guys. i once read in a women's mag dat guys like their girls in clothes dat show off the female figure. which i guess is anything figure hugging? so clothes such as the empire line dresses or the pregnant lady tops, are not exactly favourable. i personally find them great cos they hide the tummy and are particularly good for buffet binges. and nowadays lace and frilly tops are also in, cos they tend to hide our imperfections. but apparently are not well liked by guys. the same goes with polka dots. cos they end up counting the dots. lol.
we concluded dat guys are simple minded. they like girls in simple well fitted jeans with spagetti strap tops in simple colours. either dat or anything dat shows cleavage or legs. lol.

city girl
im currently in KL now and was also recently in Bangkok. and wat ive noticed is big cities are really similar no matter where u go.
there are always gonna be the traffic jams, the tall skyscrapers, the masses of ppl and concrete everywhere.
my trip to Bangkok turned out to be a major shopping spree, simply becos i went with 3 other girls who had been there before and were major shopping junkies, worse than me..haha. but it was good cos after a full day of shopping, we would relax by having hour long foot massages that was less than 10 sing dollars. super cheap. and super good. there was a particular mall there which completely reminded me of singapore. just cos it was so similar.
and now im in KL hanging out at starbucks with 2 other girls and it feels like we were back in chch hanging out at starbucks too. except we're dressed in shorts and tshirts instead of jeans and jackets. coffee here is double in price due to the ringgit. lol. and we are surrounded by asians.
cities feel like home to me. and now im wondering how in the world am i gonna survive in little old timaru next yr?? looks like it'll be a temporary pause for the shopping addiction and the hustle and bustle of city life..at least for the next yr. then who knos, where ill be after timaru. but i think im highly likely to move to a bigger city the following yr. just cos i kno im a city girl at heart.

food review: shiraz
so im finally on holiday! and in singapore. altho im meant to be enjoying myself, i seem to be a little stressed from my gen med essay. even tho i forgot to bring most of the paperwork with me and have no idea when the due date is. hmm.
anyways been shopping. bought quite a few clothes ytd. burnt a hole in my pocket. tmr im aiming to buy a new camera! yay! dats if i can get a good deal.
today had a haircut. nothing too drastic. just added some fringe. hopefully it wont grow too fast for grad. haha. and it's amazing wat a good blowdry can do for my hair. then met up with a few frens and went to clarke quay for dinner.
it was a long process of finding which restaurant to go to. initially we decided on the pump room, which we later discovered was an australian/new zealand restaurant. the menu included fish and chips, steak and kidney pie, lamb shanks, pavlova, sticky date pudding and even apple crumble. haha. we were already seated and regretted coming in since we haf lived in nz. haha. the food wasnt new to us. and why eat dat kind of food in sg when we can eat it in nz? haha. so we actually just walked out. it was really embarrassing.
so we then walked in circles and finally decided on shiraz, a persian bar and restaurant. the ambience was actually pretty good. we were seated at a really nice spot with cushions so it was really comfy. lighting wasnt too bright and it wasnt too dim either.
ambience: 8/10
the food was also pretty good. we were pleasantly surprised at how good the food tasted. i had a dish of mixed lamb and chicken kebabs, which was served with really yummy basmati rice, and a salad. mel had the grilled veg platter. and grace had the chicken with eggplant stew. portions were huge. and we actually couldnt finish. there was also a complimentary appetiser of naan style bread with basil leaves, feta, pickles, and spring onions. and then for dessert, we tried their version of baklava which was super duper sweet! sickly sweet.
food: 8/10
presentation: 8/10
service was also good. the waiter was actually kinda funny cos he kept offering to take photos for us after we asked him once. and he even put back the wine glasses for the photo. haha. water was never empty and good service overall.
service: 9/10
the funniest part of the evening came when there was a sudden announcement dat there would be a belly dance performance. then suddenly a chinese woman dressed in belly dancing attire started gyrating her hips and doing body rolls around the tables. we couldnt help laughing and then she ended up dancing rite in front of our table, even pumping her chest. it was so awkward and slightly disturbing for me to have her dance in her skimpy but pretty outfit so close to us. haha. but then we concluded dat she has amazing courage to dance in a restaurant. haha.
anyways after eating there, we were walking ard and dats when i discovered dat i had lost the scarf dat was tied to my bag. i have only had the bag for 3 mths. and i bought it becos of the pretty scarf. so now dat it's gone, im uber depressed. :( so sad. looks like it's time to look for another bag. sigh. more shopping then...

bad boys vs. nice guys
the other day when i was bored and reading blogs, i came across this article from sam and the city dat talked abt wat i had been wanting to write abt for a while now.
Modern female attraction: playboys vs loyal boys.
so most girls usually have a thing for the bad boy type. u see it even on tv where the innocent girl initially despises the bad boy but ends up falling in love with him. how cliched. and the theory of why girls fall for the bad boy is, cos the girl wants to be the one who can change him. i guess being the girl who manages to change a bad boy to being good is a big deal. it's like being able to stop a guy from smoking. or being the one who changes a gay guy to being heterosexual. haha. maybe it's the pride associated with it? haha.
i do admit yea there's a certain attraction abt the bad boy. he tends to be more confident, more flirtateous, and basically more exciting. which prob is part of the problems dat turn up later down the track. he's also likely to give u a higher level of stress along with the continual fear dat he may cheat on u.
and then there's the nice guy. it's funny how guys hate it when they are being termed the nice guy. prob cos nice guys are associated more with being the good fren, never the bf. but the thing is, nice guys are prob better bfs in the long run. first they r nice! they r more likely to treat u better and there's more security in the relationship and prob less stress associated with it as well. the only thing abt nice guys is, they tend to be nice to everyone so it's highly likely other ppl will walk all over him and even worse, other girls may like him too. but still, think it's less likely they will cheat on u.
but then again, u wouldnt want a guy who's only nice to u when he likes u and is not nice to u when he has lost interest, cos dat would be not very nice, would it? so a nice guy who is nice to everyone is good but as long as he's not flirting with every other girl.
havent been with a nice guy before and am sick of the bad boy. definitely overrated. been there, done dat. so wherefore art thou is my nice guy?

bleh.
today i took the day off cos i had the early stages of a cold. the sniffles, the coughing. basically starting to feel like crap.
and along with dat, i was feeling angry. angry abt wat, i have no idea. prob the general shittiness of life. and no i dont think it's pms. every little thing aggravates me. even eating annoys me. esp if i have to eat sick ppl food.
ergh! i really feel like venting. but i dont even kno wat im venting abt. how i wish i could scream and shout. but no, obviously i cant. instead my only way to vent is to blow my nose. how freakin sad. sigh.

(ok is it strange dat i find her sexy and im a girl???) anyways. the comments on the youtube page is kinda funny tho. a lot of comments from guys saying disturbing things...lol.

food review: restaurant piko piko
another new restaurant. well not new. but one i hadnt been to before. restaurant piko piko is part of millenium hotel. anyways, was looking for a restaurant to go to since plan A failed. so i just randomly picked a restaurant out of the entertainment book.
before we left, we decided to "dress up" for the occasion. haha, we have nothing better to do. so dress/skirts were compulsory. no jeans. which is difficult in winter. anyways, back to the dinner.
so we got to the hotel and i have to say the ambience isnt dat great. very typical hotel restaurant. not really very fancy. it's an open concept, so the lounge is rite next door. but in a way it's good, cos we could enjoy the jazz music playing in the lounge from the restaurant as well. apparently they play live jazz every sat nite.
ambience: 6/10
the food was actually more impressive. the menu selection included a grill section as well. we only ordered mains this time. i personally wasnt very hungry. there was even a complimentary appetiser of lamb tartare with pesto and micro greens in a chinese spoon. cute. i ordered this grilled white fish with lemon kelp (seaweed) and micro greens on top. underneath was caneloni? filled with prawn and celery? the sauce was the best part, prawn bisque. yum. a very good dish overall. my fren had the angus steak, which she said was good too. and it's one of those restaurants with small portions, big plate. but the portion was just rite for me. we also had dessert. we shared this chocolate dessert which was so cute! a cone of chocolate filled with chocolate mousse, accompanied by sorbet on a stick with a small muffin thingee with sorbet on top and poppy seed mascarpone. very separated items and i didnt really see how they meshed well together but looked pretty anyways! we also had a glass of wine each. the wine list was kinda limited if u only wanted a glass. the bottle menu was much more extensive.
food: 9/10
presentation: 10/10 (just cos dessert was pretty!)
service was good too. no complaints. water was promptly refilled. food came on time. wat more can i ask for? oh except i had to ask for cracked pepper myself? but dats just being really picky.
service: 9/10
toilet was good too. well to be expected for a hotel toilet. hahaha. even had individual hand towels. hahaha.
toilets: 8/10 (not the nicest toilet ive ever seen. but if u had to compare to toilets in nepal, it would be 10/10. lol.)
so overall not a bad place to eat.
overall: 8.5/10 (i value ambience a lot.)
but the only thing is you tend to see a lot of singaporeans around. cos dats where the SIA flight crew stays and they get half price meals at the restaurant. haha. so we got stared at prob cos we were asians. it was a little weird. unfortunately didnt see any hot pilots. HAHA. but i told my fren maybe we shuld hang out there more often. lol.

waiting.
i would say im not a very patient person. in fact, im very impatient. i never liked waiting, esp waiting for ppl.
ive tried to be more patient. but sometimes waiting doesn't seem to get me anywhere. sometimes waiting ends in further disappointment and frustration. there's a limit to how long im willing to wait. sometimes i think i mite as well just give up. why bother? why waste my time waiting? then sometimes i think why am i always the one waiting? why doesnt anyone else wait for me?
i'm old already. cant afford to wait too long. time goes by quicker as u get older. but waiting always takes ages. i try to be patient but i really dont like to wait. i kno good things come with time. hmm. maybe it's not time for good things to come to me.

taking responsibility.
i recently heard from my mum dat a student got a girl pregnant and the news was spread across the asian community. well considering even my mum knos this, it must be big news. but anyways, it turns out the family of the guy threatened the girl and told her dat if she didnt abort, they wouldnt have anything to do with her. well she didnt abort and i haf no idea wat the relationship is with the girl and the guy's family. but apparently the guy doesnt really keep in contact with the girl but everyone knos dat he has a son out there. kinda a sad story. and he's only a student. my mum thinks once he starts working, the girl can take him to court and ask for alimony? is dat the word? cant remember.
but anyways which made me think. a lot. if i were the guy, wat would i do? if i were the girl, wat would i do?
first if i were the guy, the rite thing to do would be to take responsibility. dats wat a good guy would do. and i would respect the girl's choice whether she wants to keep it or abort it. and accept her choice regardless. i think wat this guy did is despicable. to actually not even have any contact with ur child, dats wrong. the poor kid. an innocent party.
and if i were the girl, depending on my situation, i would consider abortion. cos i would never want to raise a kid who doesnt even have a father's love. dats so sad. and seriously i dont think i could ever be a single mum. it's way too hard. but if i was able to support myself financially then yea maybe i would raise the kid on my own. would i marry the guy? well i mite not actually. not if he doesnt love me. why enter a marriage where there is no love?
i asked my parents then, wat if they had a son dat got a girl pregnant? my dad said he would knock his son on the head. lol. and then afterwards, he would encourage him to take responsibility. yup marry the girl. and then i asked my parents wat if one of their daughters got pregnant before marriage? my dad also said he would knock his daughter on the head. lol. such a typical asian parent. but afterwards he said he would support her decision. and then i said, i dont think ur daughters are dat dumb. i hope this statement doesnt come back to haunt me. HAHA.
but seriously, the guy in this situation is a jerk. but then i had this discussion with a guy who was not raised in an asian environment, and he said asian parents would force their sons to marry the girl even if he doesnt love her. yea but im a little surprised dat the guy in this situation wasnt forced to marry the girl..maybe cos he was still studying? dunno. and then the question comes down to, why have sex with someone u dont even love? or the big question is, why were u stupid enuf not to use protection? sigh. i still think the kid loses out in the end, regardless of whether the parents end up marrying or not. the parents may not love each other and so arguments are likely to occur. and if the parents don't marry, then it ends up being a very sad situation for the kid. i guess wat im saying is, im really lucky dat i was born in a nuclear family. with 2 parents who love each other. as for the guy and the girl in the story, well i pity the kid the most. and i just hope the kid turns out ok.
my point in writing this. nothing really. as always, no point. but just something to think abt. wat would u do if u were in this situation?
but anyways which made me think. a lot. if i were the guy, wat would i do? if i were the girl, wat would i do?

food review: flying burrito brothers
out of boredom, i came up with the idea recently dat id go and try new restaurants and become food critics. yes im random. so i dragged a couple of frens along for this new idea. someone thot of mexican so i looked mexican up in a food review website and the flying burrito brothers came up tops.
so off we went to the flying burrito brothers!
i made reservations pretty late, 2 hrs before arrival. and i think consequently we got a pretty crap table. we were rite near the kitchen, in a heavily lighted area when the rest of the restaurant had dim lighting. our table was also narrowing the walkway so it was a little weird. and the food often had to go past our table, so it was often very smoky and sometimes we would even be choking from the smoke! someone fix the fire alarm!
ambience: 5/10 (they only pass cos the rest of the restaurant seemed nicer..haha)
the food tho was actually pretty good. kudos to them for even having a glossary on the menu! but i couldnt be bothered reading it tho. i tried a pork tostada..it was quite yummy! and surprisingly very filling. who knew mexican food could make u full.. and for $20 worth, it's not bad for a nite out. esp for non asian food. haha. the others had sizzling fajitas, which involved making ur own fajitas and smoke, enchiladas, and flying burrito. i think all of them enjoyed their food. unless they were lying. haha.
they also had an extensive drinks menu and since it was a mexican restaurant, why not have margaritas! so i ordered frozen classic margaritas which was not bad except for the overpowering saltiness from the salted glasses. salt is good for tequila shots but somehow it doesnt really suit margaritas.
food: 8.5/10 (i'm being picky, the salad was underdressed and they didnt give enuf salsa and guacamole)
toilets: well i didnt go to the toilet so cant comment.
the service was not bad either. everyone's meals were served at ard the same time. and there was always water on the table. altho i think they cleared dishes and glasses a little too efficiently. as if hinting to us to leave..hmm..or maybe im just being a little sensitive.
service: 7/10
wat else do food critics talk abt? ive run out of wat else to say but overall food was good, company was good. nice place to try for a different flavour. high recommendations from me.
overall: 8/10
