wat an emo night...
held a farewell dinner for sheng jun tonight.. at minori jap restaurant. he's going london to study law at UCL. anw Tat chong went for the dinner too.. it was another 45 minutes affair.. internal joke. lol. i think tts army life for u.. poor thing..
tk carez buddy! ur inspirational words, ur laughter, ur unique thoughts and conversation, ur funny faces, ur fun, ur company, and of coz u, will all be missed.. muz rem to meet up with us again come next june july.. all the best over there!
haiz so many ppl leaving for studies overseas, makes me think abt my future. wat sheng jun said juz now got me thinking abt some stuff. is overseas studies really tt great? wat do i really wanna be next time? wat is my career path gonna be like? all these are still blanks to be filled in. for now, my pen is still capped. but will it be too late by the time i pen it down? it remains to be seen..
anw a big thank you to meiling for recommending the place to me! giving me the directions and all the "muz trys". it was my first time trying sake and it's pretty nice. at first it tasted abit weird but as my taste bud gt use to it, it was rather pleasant. 16% alcohol and i din feel anything at all. think i drank too little. the sake is called "li bai". gt a v fruity smell but taste wise it's not tt strong. muz try this restaurant! thou it's not cheap..
after tt went to chill at coffee club with sheng jun. was sitting there chit-chatting and ppl watching and i juz happen to think of nat's bdae party tt day and how i went home with lionel they all after tt.. tt same old taxi stand. juz kept thinking abt alot of stuff tonight...
and some spore taxi drivers really suck.. wats up with the sounding of horn.. it's not like it will speed things up or make ur taxi fly to the front of the queue. so cant u juz f------ wait patiently and dun spoil the beautiful night life? (sorry abit emotional now..)
got home, went online, and felt really sadz.. according to lionel's nick "emotional is not a weakness, it's a gift", i think i m overly gifted right now. time and status are killing me. i shld be thinking abt my studies now and not cloud my mind with all these stuff. like wat shuling said, maybe i shld juz tk another route out, since this route is not working like i wish it will. alot of things juz keep spinning ard, i think i m getting "gan1 yu1".. i feel so tired. it's 3am and i need to wake up at 6 plus tml. izzit the coffee or the thoughts tt are keeping me awake?
is status really tt impt?? time is pushing it too much....

here i m again. i realised i like to blog in blocks. whenever i start to get the blog mood den i will blog alot, den it will be followed by a drought. it's 2am now & i m still blogging! can u believe it, especially when i only slept 3hrs ystd. i think my body clock is going crazy. so pardon me if my phrasing sounds weird and if there's alot of spelling errors coz i cant really think straight now..
anw forgot to mention abt something in my previous entry. gt a new bball from sports comm as my bdae gift.. yeah! happiness. been wanting to get a bball for long since i lost 2 in NTU. and juz nice the court near my house juz opened, i can have some secret training le. lol. thanz sports comm!
one more thing, health alert! pls dun apply "yoko yoko" or similar products excessively on ur body. it can cause poisoning. learnt from the physician at tong chai hospital tt a person died because he applied too much. reason being the poisonous contents can seep through ur skin and enter ur body system..
ok now back to this post.. went for say kai's bdae party tt day at parc oasis. i went to parc vista instead la! so blur of me.. anw it was woderful to meet up with the oac ppl again. but i was kinda late so din catch up much.. Happy Birthday Say Kai!
ystd was a super super hectic day. cannot emphasize more on the word super. in the morning went to tong chai hospital for intern. den out of the blue sheng jun ask me lunch with him and tat chong. so we went dempsey to eat the barbeque korean food. it was nice! muz try! den it started the mad rush of the day. tat chong and i was supposed to meet yih sheng at 2pm at yishun mrt den go to a friend's house to play mj. but we were still at dempsey at 2pm!! omg.. so sj drove us back to my house and i drove my car to yishun. by the time we reached, it was already near 3pm. felt quite bad coz i dun like to make ppl wait... den along the way there were sooo many red lights.. it's always liddat. when u are in a rush, suddenly all the lights turn red. so tts the 1st rush.
den we were to supposed to meet xiaojun, zheyi and cheng shang for dinner (curry fish head) at beauty world at 545pm. but we left yishun around 530pm! to add on to the situation, my car was running out of petrol, so i needa find a petrol station before heading down. but we couldnt find so in the end i took the lornie rd way (spc along the way) to beauty world. it was much longer and slower, so we reached beauty world at 630pm! tts the 2nd rush.
we thought the hwa chong MAF (mid-autumn festival) lighting up is at 7pm so we hafta rush back to hwa chong again. in the end we reached ard 715pm. but the lighting up was only at around 730pm. so we caught it. tts the 3rd mini rush.
MAF is a traditional yearly event tt hwa chong will celebrate. it's quite a grand celebration with all generations of hwa chong-ians going back. there's even adults who bring their children along. tts the hwa chong spirit! i feel so heartwarming everytime i go back for MAF, it's juz such a nice feeling. u get to catch up with all ur jc tutors again and it's so sweet tt they still remember ur face and name. this year's lightings was a job well done! i like it much more than last year's. but i din get to sing the hwa chong songs!! coz was rushing off. super sad. i really like those songs.. and of coz the met up with oac ppl! took photos before i rushed off. and it started pouring after tt. so sad! it's the first MAF tt i've been to tt rained. for the next 2 years, i won't be able to attend MAF coz i will be in Beijing. tts sad...
den huang fang, eileen, yuning (dunnoe if the spelling is right) and i hafta rush off for amanda's bdae party. it started at 630pm, but we decided to go for MAF first before going over. the cake cutting session was at 9pm so we planned to reach at 9. but we left hc only at 840pm. the sad part is, we felt neither here nor there. bcoz we din get to join in the song singing and mass dance sessions in hc, and we oso din get to enjoy amanda's party. and her party was at simei! like super far away. and it was really pouring v v heavily. the worst thing is we dunnoe how to get there coz i dun usually drive to the east. i only know my way till tpe den we started getting lost about where to exit. so we tried calling different ppl to ask and one of them said there is a simei exit, so we happily drove along tpe in search of the simei exit.. and the next thing we know, we are at changi le. super sianz! after much detours, we FINALLY got to her condo. by the time i sat down in her house, i was feeling so drained. imagine driving at 120km/hr on a wet road and on a pouring night. the vision was juz horrible. my heart was racing abit but i kept in mind safety as well. so dun worry.. so we reached her party at 10pm plus. super horrible bcoz she was waiting for us to cut cake! and all her friends had to wait as well. we felt super bad.... tts the 4th rush.
the cake was nice and her bf flew back specially from australia to give her a surprise. such a sweet and happy couple.. Happy birthday Amanda!!
so tts the hectic day in summary. when i was at her party, i felt really tired and this is the FIRST time i ever felt SICK of driving. i was stoning when something juz ended my day on a wrong note. dun feel like talking abt it here but tts the few rare times u will get to see me angry..
tts not the end of the day! i played mj again at night with jee peng, his gf and her friend, at my house. tts y i ended up sleeping for only 3 hrs.. but at least i won back my petrol fee. ystd night i spent a whole 20 bucks on petrol alone. i find my car fuel consumption getting less and less efficient nowadays. maybe it's really getting a little too old.
today i still went for bball with shuling and gang thou i really felt tired. maybe coz wanted to talk to shuling ba, and let off some gas by playing bball.. it turned out to be a really nice session! dunnoe wat got into me today, but i juz felt like doing lay ups and not juz settle for shots. maybe i felt like running more. ended the session with a satisfying defence game. it's all about running around more. i did quite ok but still needa practise more on this kinda hook shots and floaters. shuling was surprised to see me do so many layups. haha. maybe muz discover the potential in me. lol. felt really good to try something new once in awhile. makes me feel like practising more.. so shuling, now u know what to do during matches to make me more shen right.. muahaha.. our little secret. =p
learnt something new abt cars today. if ur car is cruising at a rpm higher than the normal value, it probably means tt you are driving at low gear. just need to gently release the accelerator and the car will change to higher gear. if it still does not work, it probably means tt ur car has a low gear speed auto transmission, which is not v gd bcoz the rpm will always be pretty high and it's not fuel efficient. the above applies for auto car.. hahaz.. hope i gt this right..
anw juz now i was talking to my "xiao di" lionel poh online, it was a super duper funny and entertaining conversation because of shirleen's involvement. lol. anw told him i will blog something abt him so tt he can come visit my blog. hahaz.. he is my sec sch friend and actually we seldom chat until recently juz got to meet him again at nat's bdae party. he changed again since the last time i saw him! now more good-looking wor as compared to last time with the long hair look. and i found out he plays mj too! lol.. confirm muz find a time to play together k! go organise one with raymond they all! haven seen them in ages too.. and bball too. play together some time... tk carez of ur knee k and survive in army! lol...
tts abt it for my pretty interesting wkend. now is studies time! starting from today (mon), i needa follow my revision timetable le. dunwan to do last minute studying again. it's torturous.
super long post, i took one hr plus to blog.. but pretty interesting! lol. getting hungry from all the typing, shall resist the food and go to sleep.. tts all folks! =)

first of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY XIAOMEI!!!

1. thanz shuling for tt day at the fountain. cant imagine it w/o u.. loves (more ice cream? haha)

9. mum got a new haircut! hahaz. so cute... really hope she can spend everyday like holidays but i still have 3 years to graduation! anw.. happy teachers' day mum!!
10. got a new namecard holder and "intimately beckham" deodorant
11. scouted for my new handphone. considering between samsung F480 and iPhone for now.. still haven check out the details and the functions they provide. any suggestions??
12. alot of studying for my 伤寒论 test. like what i told song hui when he saw me studying in the resource room, "when u see me studying here, it means the module is tough". lol. gt back the results ystd, it was still alright, cld have done much better. the highest in class was 98! can u believe it?! tt is like primary school's result. thou i used to get tt in my uni yr 1 times. now results getting more cui...
talking about school, i juz planned out my revision timetable for the next 3 weeks. looks pretty hectic and boring! gt an elective quiz in 1 and a half weeks time and my 伤寒论 exam is 3 weeks away! but luckily there are much less classes starting next week. coz our 伤寒论 teacher finished the whole syllabus already! when there are still 2 weeks left before recess break. dunnoe whether tt's good or bad.. he rushed through the whole syllabus like crazy la! he can teach like 100 plus 200 slides per lecture.. den now he juz leaves us to study on our own..
been thinking about my course recently. heard tt 7 seniors din go to beijing and juz settled for the single degree. and a few of my classmates also thinking abt it. whats the use of going beijing if u r very certain tt u wun become a physician? actually tt's quite true.. it's really not tt easy after all. it's not like most of the jobs out there where u can learn and make mistakes as u go along. it is precious lives we are talking about here. and i think all these uncertainties is because we do not get enough practical experience here in spore. all we do in our intern is to observe the physician and maybe sometimes get to feel the pulse. i feel that our course is really too packed and not productive for cultivating not juz good physicians but the top physicians. it really gives us, or at least me, the feeling tt can i really become a capable physician? but i guess i will still go to beijing and complete the course then take it from there. a part of me has really regretted not pursuing dentistry overseas. but it's too little too late now i guess. gambatte!!
当绿灯转黄时，我应该用力地踩下油门直冲向前，还是紧急煞车让一切放慢脚步？以前的我应该会选择前者吧。可是现在的我一脚踩在油门上；一脚踩在煞车器上，不知如何是好。如果踩下油门，又怕会遇上车祸而让双方都受伤。因为我还不清楚前方的路是不是我要走的那条，而这辆车又是不是最适合我的那辆，能不能一直陪我走到最后。如果踩下煞车，又怕会失去这次勇往直前的机会。因为交通灯可能会突然失灵，又或者前方的路在进行道路工程。我很享受现在在车里的感觉，可是我也不想打出错误的信号灯。有时这辆车也会用他自己的方式来试探我对他的感觉。引擎会时不时发出巨响，似乎在暗示我什么。我就必须紧握着方向盘，时不时会觉得有一点压力。所以现在的我是应该踩油门前进，还是应该煞车放慢脚步，又或者应该停车下车呢？我应该会选择第二者吧。。。
