michelle, amelia and ruth: I love you guys:) really I do:)

Lunch on monday with them was great:) haha the good food was a bonus:) I really miss the old days with them..those days in RJC when we would pon PE to sit in the canteen and enjoy lemon tea:)the times in class spent fantazising about good food:) the times spent laughing over the silly antics shaun and company engaged themselves in:)

All 4 of us do med:) but all in different years/places. But its nice being able to compare and share our experiences with one another:) Amelia was talking about how mundane and routine life is for her now.I suppose life is inevitably mundane after we establish a routine..I guess the thing to do is to busy ourselves with other things in life..but I remember telling myself I would participate in activities in university..but somehow I never got around to doing it in sydney..I don't know whether it's laziness or simply me changing. I feel happy doing the things I do in sydney now. I don't particularly feel that life is mundane, perhaps because I'm still adjusting to the lifestyle in sydney; I learn new things everyday, about myself, the people around me, and my future profession. I don't regret going to sydney, but I do wonder what it would have been like to stay in singapore at times. To stay with people like michelle and amelia. To stay with my family.

Not that I don't like the people in sydney..on the contrary I feel I'm really blessed to have gotten to know these wonderful people in the last 6 months..ling, louisa, mythili, gloria, ollie, jon:) thanks for everything guys:) for making life in sydney the way it is:) I feel blessed for what I have, but I suppose its only natural to miss the things I have back home, to miss the people and things in my life for the first 20 years of my life:)
think I'm too sentimental for my own good at times :P I watched the myth yesterday and was asked why I always pocket my movie stubs..ha think its a habit now:) I collect my movie stubs:) guess its a helpful reminder to the times I've spent with the people in my life:) harry potter with the RGS gals...finding nemo with lionel..a beautiful mind with ruth, shanon and pips..red eye with gloria, ollie, lin min and jon:)

Realise I'm sounding kinda sappy and sentimental now. Sorry. Ha guess its one of those days. Since I'm in the thankful and sappy mood..thanks you God for giving me the people in my life:) in particular the loyal followers of my blog:) nad, nicole, debs, pips, cindy, lionel:) miss you so much guys:) anyone else I didn't mention, thank you for being a part of my life:)

Anyway going to give buster his weekly hated bath now:) he's so happy to have me back:) then lunch with my elder sister:) hugs everyone!

Happy birthday dear!!:):)

Haha right now I'm slacking in the air conditioning. Chris is snoring away on the couch, my sister's looking at me lazily from her position on the mattress on the floor, and buster's lying on his back on the floor like a brown furry log. Ah I missed these lazy sunday afternoons:) A result of a busy week and too much food. Its been a nice week:) My highlights of the week off the top of my head..

Birthday dinner for my sister on friday night:) It was nice being able to be home for her birthday this year:) probably won't be back at this time of the year for other years..but glad that she looked happy:) and its exciting to think that this time next year we'll be celebrating with a new addition to the family:) Somehow birthdays seem to lose their importance as the years go by..I guess to my parents birthdays just mean that another year of their life is gone. Birthdays are only special if we make them out to be special I suppose:) Otherwise they'll just be like any other ordinary day..
I think this picture captures the spirit of the moment well:) I have no idea what Chris was trying to do though. Just his usual silly self:)

Met cindy yesterday!it wasn't for long but it felt great talking to her as if I had never left. I remember cindy and xinli coming over to my house just before I left for sydney in july..they were sampling the chocolates that I had bought them from sydney:)and eating durian puffs. and biscuits. :) Happy belated birthday cindy:)

Suki dinner with pips!Haha you're a lot more knowledgeable about jap food now compared to the last time we ate at sakae:) thanks for always being there to listen to my complaints and laments:) good luck and study hard k:) I'll see ya in another 2 months:)

Sat evening mass was nice:) the creston chapel is small and cosy but I miss singing in a big congregation and the feeling of familiarity at St Iggy's:) Ha and something nice happened on the way to church as well..I was on the bus and this nice old lady started a conversation with me..she was a retired nursing sister and was telling me how she used to train NUS med students..she told me a bit about the hospital working environment in singapore:)She was really a sweet old lady:) Lionel says I look sportier since coming back this time. Haha I wish:) I miss swimming:) and music.

Luke 6, verse 37
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.
Sometimes I wonder if I do the things I do because I'm afraid of God or if I want to. I remember Selena telling me before that its only natural to be afraid of God. Did you know "religion" means fear of God in hebrew? But how is it possible to fear and love God at the same time?

Sorry if my post seems kinda disjointed today..I'm feeling pretty lazy and sleepy..think I ate too much. My mom commented that I'm like a vacuum cleaner, cleaning off all the junk in the house. good day people:)

Friday, September 23, 2005

my mom had more dresses than my sister that day..this is dress number 4. or 5? and I really missed my mom's laugh in sydney.

~me~ at 8:24 PM

preparing for the dinner..my sister wore this really nice turqoise cheongsam:)

~me~ at 8:23 PM

the lunch reception..my sister was so happy with her friends that day:)

~me~ at 8:22 PM

on the way to church:)I remember my sister was freaking out that we would be late..haha in the end we made it in time:)but the bridesmaid who had been nagging at us to be punctual got caught in traffic.

~me~ at 8:20 PM

A lazy day spent with my sister:) Haha she's had weird cravings since she's gotten pregnant..I remember one night when she had a sudden urge for yam cake and coke. The other day it was blackforest cake. Today it was fries:)

So it was fries for breakfast:) then we cooked a nice lunch together:) We pigged out on a decent amount of food..ah actually A LOT of food..I'm so full now..dunno how I'm gonna have room for her birthday dinner tonight.. :)

Haha my sister was explaining to me how pregnancy cravings are different from normal cravings..she says when she craves for something she feels like she just HAS to have that food..haha my mom says she had multiple cravings for laksa when I was in her womb..maybe thats why I don't like laksa that much.I had enough of it when I was in my mom's stomach:)

haha was just organising my photos..I had a pretty interesting mooncake festival on sunday night:)went to the food fest at esplanade for cheap oily singaporean food:) the moon was pretty big that night but kinda obscured :P anyway, my mom treated us to dessert at a classy dessert place after that:) we were pretty stuffed after dinner so we just shared one dessert..

But to me the hightlight of the night wasn't the dessert but the company:) It was my first night back in singapore so I guess I was just happy enough being in the company of my family:) The past semester's been really busy and I recall Ling telling me that she felt bad that she didn't feel homesick. I didn't realise I hadn't been thinking about home that much either until talking to her..but now that I'm home its all the more apparant to me how much my family means to me..I've missed the way my mom embarrasses all of us when she laughs loud enough such that everyone in a 20m vicinity turns and stares at us..I've missed the warm feeling in my heart when I see my sisters smile:)heh and now that I'm home I can post up a few more nice wedding photos:)

~me~ at 5:12 PM

Life is amazing:)

I was just staring at my sister's tummy..Lucas was making bulges and waves with his kicking and punching:) The thought that there is a living being inside my sister's stomach is just miraculous..I put my ear to her tummy and could actually hear his heartbeat:) I could have spent all night staring at her tummy moving..it's just miraculous:)Haha my sister placed a pair of headphones to her stomach and played Bach to him:)

Anyway, its been a wonderful week back home, despite the erratic rainy/humid/sunny weather:) Like the last time I was back home, I didn't realise how much I missed home until I came home:) I feel like my first week here's gone by too fast.

I think Buster remembers me better this time round:) probably cos I bought back a box of organic dog bones for him from australia:) haha he liked them so much he stuck his whole head into the box and couldn't get it off.

My sister put up balloons on my door and taped up a welcome back sign on my door:) and my mom stocked up on ice cream and cheese:) ahh its good to be home:) yeah my mom's been spoiling me with good food..she brought me to newton on tuesday night for unhealthy but savoury food:) And there's so much mooncake in the fridge I think they'll last us until mooncake festival next year:)I've never particularly liked mooncake that much but somehow this year it seems more special eating it, knowing that I'm home and that I'm eating it in the presence of my family:) I don't really understand how some people can eat so much of it though..so sweet and rich..my auntie can eat 20 up to mooncakes in one month!thats crazy..

Haha my sister just asked me to say good night to lucas:) I put my ear to her stomach and I felt him punch me:) Good night all:) Life is just a miracle:)

Home:) Its just indescribable:)

Changes in the last 2 months..
1) There's a baby cot in my room:) My sister says they assembled it in there and now can't push it out the door.
2) Buster's got a tummy!He's getting fat. Tsk tsk.
3) My sister's tummy is bigger:) naturally:) She showed my a photo of the baby she took at the gynae's..He's kind of curled up with his left hand over his eyes:)Ha my mom says the baby looks like Chris. I don't know how she tells. Oh well he does have a pretty big head like Chris:) But hopefully he'll have more hair:)
4) My mom says my nose looks flatter.

The last 2 months have really flown by..I feel like so much happened, and there was so much to do..It feels kind of weird being able to just slack and relax now again back at home..I think the last couple of months allowed me realise the importance of the relationships I've forged in sydney, and at the same treasure the relationships I have back home even more:) It passed in a blur, yet I remember so many events so clearly in my mind:) I didn't take many photos this semester but I think the snapshots in my mind of the last 2 months are more than sufficient:)

Anyway sorry about not blogging for awhile..was pretty nerdish all the way up till my exam on friday..ha was so happy after my paper:) Went lunching with mythili and louisa and chao praya after that:) I'm really glad to have found the 2 of them:) We're so different in character yet so similar in the silliest ways and in the things that matter:) Hard to picture all 3 of as doctors next time though.considering the silly childish acts we're always up to in college:)

After lunch, I joined gloria, ollie, lin min and jon in watching red eye. I don't watch too many thrillers but it wasn't too scary:) It was actually kinda cheesy..made even less scary with gloria laughing at loud at the meant-to-be-scary parts:) And we had a mahjong fest that night at gloria's:)with her very very very tiny but cute mahjong tiles:) We had to resort to using her physio and bio textbooks as our mahjong table:) Thank you Campbell and Boron:)

Anway yep so I was pretty shagged on the flight back home..but it was a good flight home:)

Yawn. Sorry I wanted to blog about today as well but I'm really tired now. Its 3am sydney time and I'm still suffering from overnight-mahjong-syndrome. Night people:)

Nic: Haha yep but don't worry she took it pretty well:)
Nad: Yes ice cream is definitely good:)
pips: Haha glad to see you're still in your adventurous mood:) sakae it is:) suki? is there a suki sushi??

Hello dear people..:) one more week to home!and exams..

Taking a short break from studying now..college is kinda distracting right now..lotsa people around cos of the meditations creston has on Saturdays..and the med students at creston are showing varying degrees of stress :P Rachelle was freaking out this morning over embryology and mythili’s been consuming record levels of chocolate:) as for me (according to cath) I’ve been looking even more ditzy than normal..no walking into plants for awhile now though:)

Had a series of lectures on depression then sexuality this week..haha kinda amusing..although I don’t know what we’re expected to know for the exam.

Interesting fact number 1: Babies sleep in 25 hour cycles.
Interesting fact number 2: Infants develop a fear of falling a week after they learn to walk.
Interesting fact number 3: When babies first learn to crawl, they crawl backwards cos their heads are too heavy.
Interesting fact number 4: Louisa’s room has been smelling of food all week long. She woke up in the middle of the night to the smell of curry puffs. We suspect there’s a hole in the ceiling leading to the kitchen.
Interesting fact number 5: Mythili climbed in through the kitchen window to get a slice of cheese at 1am.

Sorry think I’m kinda random tonight. Waiting around for dinner now..We had good chinese food the other night:) there was actually TOFU. Ling told me tofu’s good for the skin so I agreed and told her to eat more. She kinda took it the wrong way and thought I was implying that she had bad skin. Sigh. Sorry think sometimes I really say things without thinking. :P

Been listening to band music all afternoon:) I think music is a really wonderful creation:) dinner time!

Nad: haha yes thanks. I couldn't really believe it either.
Nicole: wish I could see you again:) yep but I'll definitely see you at the end of the year!:)
debs: i miss you too debs!!*hug*haha you're not a sad case silly girl:) just a very sweet lovable little sister:) I miss you too:)I'll be coming home in one week!:)

~me~ at 8:36 PM

Yay! no more assignment and project! ha at least for the next month or so:)

Its been a relatively nerdish week but somewhat peaceful as well:) I really thank God for the people I’ve met here, the things I’ve learnt, and the experiences I’ve had :)

Anyway, exciting news..I’ll be going home during my 2-week break!didn’t plan to initially but we realized that the cost of staying at college for 2 weeks is equivalent to the cost of airfare home:) I do feel a bit like I’m pampering myself though..and I’m gonna hafta go through the settling in process once more when I return..Ha but seeing my family, friends and just the feeling of being home will be worth it:) so yep I’ll be going home on 17th September for 2 whole weeks:)

The environment around college has been kinda stressful this week..people rushing assignments and looking dazed..ha but Naomi commented how I always look dazed anyway..do I? Ha I guess people around college just have more opportunities to see more of my blur side:) like when I walked into the plant next to the door the other day:) Ling couldn’t stop laughing. Hmph. That plant’s a hazard. It should be removed.

It was Mio’s birthday on Wednesday:) ha she always complains how she never gets mail in her mailbox, so each of us wrote a birthday note to her sealed in a nice envelope and we crammed them all into her mailbox the night before:) she was pretty happy:) can understand how she feels about the mail I guess:) It’s a nice feeling to see stuff sitting in your mailbox:). Ha I recall whooping out in joy to Ling once before at an envelope in my mailbox until she pointed out that it was a bill.

Things that make me happy:
1) Long emails from home
2) Little care packages from home:)
3) Walks/nights at coogee
4) Good company
5) Weekly phone calls with my family
6) Ice cream:)

Rachelle was just showing us a photo taken during the creston outing to the National Park in the beginning of the year during 0week..Ling commented how we all look so different now compared to back in the beginning of the year..haha well actually her exact words were "we look like we didn't know what we were getting outselves into":) I think its true. i didn't know what I was getting into back then, before school, before meeting so many new people..and I still don't know what's in store for me for the next 5+ years..Life's unexpected at times I guess:)

Gotta go now:) I’ll see you guys real soon:)

Ha I guess people around college just have more opportunities to see more of my blur side:) like when I walked into the plant next to the door the other day:) Ling couldn’t stop laughing. Hmph. That plant’s a hazard. It should be removed. It was Mio’s birthday on Wednesday:) ha she always complains how she never gets mail in her mailbox, so each of us wrote a birthday note to her sealed in a nice envelope and we crammed them all into her mailbox the night before:) she was pretty happy:) can understand how she feels about the mail I guess:) It’s a nice feeling to see stuff sitting in your mailbox:). Ha I recall whooping out in joy to Ling once before at an envelope in my mailbox until she pointed out that it was a bill. Things that make me happy: 1) Long emails from home 2) Little care packages from home:) 3) Walks/nights at coogee 4) Good company 5) Weekly phone calls with my family 6) Ice cream:) Rachelle was just showing us a photo taken during the creston outing to the National Park in the beginning of the year during 0week..Ling commented how we all look so different now compared to back in the beginning of the year..haha well actually her exact words were "we look like we didn't know what we were getting outselves into":) I think its true. i didn't know what I was getting into back then, before school, before meeting so many new people..and I still don't know what's in store for me for the next 5+ years..Life's unexpected at times I guess:) Gotta go now:) I’ll see you guys real soon:) ~me~ at 1:53 PM
