sigh my parents are quarreling again..I understand how every couple has their problems and fights, but I hate it when they drag me and my sisters into the whole big mess..all that nonsense about "please tell your father its time for dinner" from my mom when she was just in the same room with him..or my mom scolding my sister for ridiculous things to vent her anger..why can't parents understand how difficult it is for children to see them fight?I guess I'll never really understand the way parents think until I'm one myself..I hope I never put my children through the same thing..

A friend reminded me of how little time I would have for family next time as a doctor..I just hope I'll be able to balance my time between work and my family in the future..I would want to spend time with my children, to be there for their first words, to be there for their first days of school..but I'll also have to live up to my responsibility of being a doctor, by giving time to my patients when they need me to, by trying to put myself in their shoes..anyway, I haven't even started med school yet!it'll be quite some time before I can settle down into a family and a steady job..so why am I thinking about this now?I think too much..

anyway, I had an enjoyable time today..haha actually it was more of me disturbing my classmates..I joined them at arts canteen during lunch at 12, then we all had some time to kill before our next class at 2..haha normal chem engineering students would spend that time wisely by mugging, but I guess my class isn't normal..we ducked into an empty classroom..where Qingyi immediately whipped out a deck of cards.. :) oh well at least bridge is pretty intellectual..

haha at the next table, yinshuo was trying to teach me how to play table soccer.. as expected, I was pretty lousy at it.. but I was fairly entertained by the table soccer tournament that followed later between JJ, JB and yinshuo.. :) I joined the math tutorial afterwards..I did sense a slight "exam air" in the room..everyone was so quiet and attentive!haha er almost everyone..I was making qt a lot of noise at the back with wanjun and yongxiang.. oops sorry if I was disturbing the class! :P

yep I had a nice time hanging out with cn5a..I'll really miss that when I fly off next year..feeling nostalgic now..thinking about all the times spent in rgs, rjc and NUS...
I just got off the phone with Lionel..he said I sounded sad..hmm but I should be happy!I am truly very lucky to be able to pursue my dreams:)I think I'm too sentimental for my own good sometimes..

cheng: HEY!haha my chinese isn't THAT bad!ok maybe it is...
pips: haha not sure.. really depends on how cute is the guy chasing me :)
clot: hello doc clot!:)haha thanks..yep I'm now part of the club..haha maybe now I can help you with your indo hospital plan!:)
nadine: haha my dad bought it from china!he bought one for himself as well..it says "wo tai shuai le.."
JM: thanks:)yep I'm scared but looking forward to it..you sound happy studying now!I'm glad:)
