finally done with cleaning up my room and the guest room!! quite a big project tt my mum and i accomplished! feel so proud of us.. hahaz.. for those who have been to my house, there's 3 upper deck beds in my room. but my mum felt tt it's too cramp, so we decided to shift one to the guest room, since i seldom sleep on my bed too.. usually i sleep in my mum's room.. too lazy to climb. lol.
so we disassembled the whole bed, then assembled it again in the guest room!! 2 ladies doing tt. not an easy task. i unscrewed and screwed until part of my skin started peeling off, coz the screws need to be real tight for the bed to be safe to climb on.. but now the 2 rooms look totally different! come my house to take a look next time! such a great sense of satisfaction after cleaning up everything. =) hooray to my mum too! she was great! i kept sneezing during the cleaning process. sensitive to dust! my mum din even sneeze once. lol.
tml morning going to join my 阿姨 & 姨丈 to play golf at kallang.. super long nv play le. hope i still remember the correst posture.. after that is singing time! finally... hope kbox have all the new songs.. so many new songs recently. i predict it will be a crazy session considering the grp of ppl hu r going!

exams are over!! totally enjoy the feeling.. i think this sem's papers were considered easy.. maybe bcoz i have become much more hardworking as compared to last time.. really proud of myself.. it's the first time i can spend the whole day in my faculty's study room juz to study.. =) last time i will juz spend half the time slacking at home. maybe bcoz i was really disappointed by my results last sem ba..
time really flies! one sem passed juz liddat. i will be on my way to beijing in juz a sem's time... really cant imagine.. v sad tt meiling not joining us. i will definitely miss her company and laughters.. but really happy for her tt she will be pursuing her interests instead. all the best and go for it!! we muz really cherish the last sem together..
so the past 2 and a half days have been slacking and more slacking... friday was a really fun day but yet at the same time, traffic conditions were horrendous! while i was driving to sch in the afternoon, there's this van tt cut into my lane super abruptly and he was cutting across the "chevron" thing already (tts how last min he was trying to change lane).. so i horned at him coz it was damn close already. but he totally ignored me!! how annoying.. lucky i braked in time.. usually i dun like to horn at ppl, i will juz give way to them if possible.. coz i dun like those ppl hu horn for no reasons oso..
after our paper, went to jp to eat dinner with my classmates. den eileen and meiling went crazy. try saying "unagi tamago" repeatedly at a v fast speed. it's quite tongue twisting. i think we were all abit crazy after the paper.. finally can enjoy! most of them say they nv step out of house for the entire 2 wks. and meiling's mum was so funny. she was so scared tt meiling will study until crazy tt she asked meiling to get out of the house to go tk a walk.. lol!
after the satisfying meal, brandon. eileen. ying shi. meiling and i decided to go singing at jurong east kbox. but we were totally shocked when we realised JE is going to be torn down already, so the whole place was completely dark.. den we decided to go to the kbox at clementi instead. on our way there, i gt horned by a taxi and a bike! maybe tts karma.. i admit tt for the bike case, it was my fault.. coz i change lane too close to him.. sorry! but the taxi really v irritating.. he was on the same lane behind me, then we both wanted to change lane.. obviously i changed earlier than him but he juz sudd accelerate and horned at me as thou it's my fault tt i picked up speed too slowly.. and it's the kind of superrr long horn which i hate most.. wth! angry..
so we managed to reach clementi kbox safe and sound, but realised it was super ex on a fri night! it was around $35 per pax! kbox is earning way too much! so we decided to go chill and drink at bukit timah brewerks instead.. while driving there, another road hazard again. for those ppl hu know the road outside the bukit timah food centre, ur shld know it's a pretty wide road with alot of lanes. so there's this group of teenagers hu tried to cross the road there! i was turning into the road from the expressway filter lane. they probably were juz focusing on the straight road cars. so when there were no on-coming cars, they juz dashed across the road.. without realising i am coming towards their way. so half of the group continued running while half of them stopped in the middle of the road! then there's this funny guy who cldnt make up his mind. he stopped for awhile but decided to run again. initially i braked to avoid them, then juz as i was accelerating again, the guy decided to run. luckily i braked in time! it was really v dangerous.. and the traffic light is juz 50m infront!! cant they juz use the traffic light.. life is precious kids...
so tt was the v initial d driving for the day.. made me sweat abit. the fun part of the day was the chilling out session at brewerks. i totally enjoy small gatherings like this. where everybody can be involved in the same conversation and nobody will feel left out. we had all kinds of drinks. i had india pale ale. not really for me bcoz it has a very strong malt taste (like tiger beer). i like spore pale ale better. i think their cocktails are nice! their special magaritas is pretty refreshing. too bad i still need to drive, so only had a little.
all of us were saying this is wat we call life man.. juz chilling and enjoying the company of friends, music and drinks.. talked abt all sorts of topics, from serious ones to really crazy and sensored ones. lol. luckily brendon is well-trained by ying shi to listen to all these stuff. anw none of us there are really certain tt we will bcum physicians next time. brandon might bcum 小说家. he is going to publish his first book soon. so exciting.. meiling might bcum nutritionist or sthing related to tt field. eileen, ying shi and i are v scared tt we will bcum 庸医.. so nobody knows. i think we will get a better picture after we go to beijing ba.
meiling taught me a self-defence mtd tt day.. pretty useful for drivers i think. if ur wanna learn, can ask me demo next time! coz i was telling them how i gt really scared tt night. i think it was thurs night.. i reached my house multi storey carpark at around 1am. usually i will reach around 12am after i finish studying in school for the whole day.. tt day i was a little more hardworking. lol. as usual, i need to park at really high lvls. normally i need to park at the rooftop lvl, which i really hate. coz at night really quite eerie.. tt night i tot i was lucky, coz i gt a space juz a lvl down from the rooftop lvl. i gt out of my car, but needed to bend inside to tk all my books and stuff. den i sudd heard this sound made by a person. nt a word, juz a random short sound. so i gt damn scared, i quickly turned around and looked at the surroundings. but saw nobody. gt totally freaked, so took my stuff and quickly ran away. tt was the first time i really gt shocked and freaked out.. usually thou it's late at night, i m still fine.. meiling was saying the position i was in was the most vulnerable. coz i was bending inside, with my lower body outside the car and upper body inside. really gt 阴影 of the multi storey carpark now. hope i will get over it soon ba..
sat and sun simply juz slack at home. watched alot of tv and slept till afternoon everyday. played mj on sat night. super unlucky. lost around $40 plus i think. sianz. but nvm it was fun.. more sessions to come i believe.
one more wk b4 i go egypt! really looking forward to it.. =) looking forward to the singing session next thurs too! ok i think this is a super long post already.. provide some entertainment for those still studying for their exams. hahaz.. jiayou and hang in there! it will be over b4 u know it..

blogging in school now.. so sianz!! plant bio lec 3 sux... i was studying 2 slides for the entire morning! 3 hrs for 2 slides, can u imagine.... i m glad i only have 3 papers for this sem. took a look at the past year papers and most of the ans for the ques cant be found anywhere in the notes! so irritating.. waste my time.. i wanna juz concentrate on the tcm modules!
anw i was driving to school this morning and there was super heavy rain along PIE at the jurong area. totally a sudden thing. my vision was only limited to one car's length infront of me.. so scary. to add on to the drama, when i was driving past this big truck on the next lane, juz nice the truck drove over a puddle of water, so water was showering down all over my windscreen. not exaggerating, but it was like i was in a car wash. totally cannot c anything infront of me.. and meiling was screaming beside me! so exciting.. hahaz.. then i was like dun worry, dun worry. hahaz..
what a great start to a great day.... back to the ever boring lecture 3!!

juz went to watch high school musical 3 and it was amazing, especially the ending part. inspiring at times and touching too. simply love musicals. got my blogging mood going so i should pen it down before i start to get lazy again. lots of things happened for the past 2 wks, so many exciting and interesting stories i wanted to blog abt, but keep putting it off. now tt it has accumulated to heights, i dun feel like blogging abt them already.
juz a v short update. the crazy chicks gt 3rd for NTU's street challenge 3 on 3 bball. really amazing experience and i m looking forward to ISG. bball is confirmed to be on 18th and 22nd dec. but it's kinda sad tt shuling cant make it for the 18th games bcoz she's going hk and yinyue gt hall games on 18th too. wrong timing..
i m going to egypt for holidays from 29th nov to 11th dec with my mum!! going with SA tours. pretty much looking forward to it because tt will mean the end of exams. and it might be the last time in the coming years that i will be touring with my mum, since i will be going to beijing next year. kinda sad..
high school musical started my thoughts abt my current course again. i hate thinking abt them but i guess it has always been in one corner of my mind. there's one scene tt the teacher told troy it takes courage to make the right decision. reminds me of my fav chinese phrase tt i mentioned somewhere in one of my past post. nt really appropriate to me now, but to you, i hope u make the right decision. it's ur own future so dun bother abt ur relatives or anybody else really. they are not u. thou opinions give u perspectives from different angles, the final decision is still up to you! hope u know i m toking abt u. hahaz. jiayouz k. tell me abt ur decision!
there's another scene tt the teacher asked them what goals do they have for the future. most of them stepped out and voiced out their aspirations with pride. how many of us can do that? if u ask me what i wanna be in the future, i will tell u i wanna be a TCM physician. but if u ask me what i aspire to be in the future, i cant 100% guarantee tt i will say i aspire to be a TCM physician. even for the first que, i might not be 100% sure too.
in the end, troy chose to pursue both his dreams of bball and stage performance althou he knew tt ppl ard him wld object to it. again, how many of us have the courage to pursue our own dreams and be responsible for our own future? it's rare tt ppl get to live their dreams in the world today. it's all abt the struggle for survival in this realistic society. i think tt's a real pity.
relating back to me, i still doubt myself at this stage of my course. it's not tt i dun like TCM or i dunwant to be a TCM physician, but i think i am not passionate enough. i always felt that to be an excellent doctor, on top of being knowledgeable, u need to be really passionate abt the job to go the extra mile for ur patients. comparing myself to my coursemates, i feel tt they are so much more passionate than me. juz like wat yinyue said, it's ppl's life we are talking abt here. it's serious. it's nt juz for the sake of exams and the degree. i still keep having this regret that i din go overseas to pursue dentistry. it would have been a course that i m more passionate abt. it's been almost 3 years and i m still thinking abt it. can u believe it, bcoz i cant. wth. i really hate myself for settling for juz any course tt seems interesting.
but dun worry, i m not thinking of giving up at this stage. i will still go to china and complete the course. i m juz thinking of how i can improve to be a better doctor in the future. all these thinking might be because i want to be an excellent doctor, i dun want to be juz a good doctor. juz like wat we were taught, "excellent doctors prevent illnesses, while good doctors juz cure illnesses"..
if life is about building an infrastructure, every decision u make in life is like hammering a nail into the wood. if u stay firm and believe in ur decisions, the infrastructure will be a stable one. if u are hesistant abt ur decisions, it's like pulling out the nail by inches before u decided to hammer it back again. this will result in an infrastructure which looks stable on the outside but the foundation is actually weak and not up to the test. if u give up on ur decisions and decided to go a new path, it's like pulling out the nail totally and hammering it at a different spot. the damage to the wood and infrastructure is already done and the hole will always be there no matter how hard u try to mend it...
tts all my thoughts for now! gonna get back to the study mood again, because i wanna be an excellent doctor! lol. my first paper is on the 19th of nov, followed by 20th and 21st! back to back papers sux but at least i finish early! ask me out after the 21st!! =)
