sorry for the lack of updates:) yes I'm alive! & enjoying my holidays!

despite the bloodthirsty mosquitoes & sweltering heat, its good to be home:) I've spent my short time back home back home in a leisurely manner..the good thing about this long summer break is that I don't have to rush to meet everyone at a go, unlike other shorter hols where I hafta cram as many people into a day as possible..haha not that meeting people is a chore or anything of course:) but its nice to be able to take my time with friends & family, knowing I don't hafta rush off somewhere else later:)

the plane ride home felt unexpectedly faster than normal, probably cos the 2 ladies sitting next to me kept up a constant stream of friendly conversation with me..the older lady was a singaporean who is now an australian PR, but was on her way back to singapore to visit her mom..i felt quite sad when she told me she had end-stage cancer; but it's amazing talking to her cos she's got all these stories to tell about her experience & she's still so positive. I wonder how people like her do it. she was popping pills every hour cos of her condition, but still smiling all the way.

hmm. people always ask me what I intend to specialise in next time & my answer's often that I'm not sure yet at this stage cos I don't know enough yet. but I suppose I do hold an interest in a select few areas. I've always been interested in radiology, or pediatrics, & oncology caught my attention when I did abit of it in the beginning of the year. but then I know that oncology's depressing, cos cancer patients die all the time..still I wonder sometimes why I'm interested in it..maybe its because of that depressing emotional element..it reminds me that in the end, we're all human..everyone's just as vulnerable & everyone needs help to stay strong, though some just seem to be able to fight harder than others..but I guess it's seeing that fighting spirit for myself that makes me feel right about wanting to help others.

on a cheerier note, the new james bond rocks! I had my doubts about him at first, seeing as how on first glance he doesn't look like a james bond..& my sister calls him an old man. but he fit the part well in the end:) I don't usually gush about guys, but he has the most amazing eyes:)

nadine: heh yes I'm done!! are you?:)
xinli: haha thanks girl! so happy to be over & done with it! one more month left for you! can't wait to see you again soon:)
kiak: haha of course I remember you la:) no prob with the email:) just glad to hear from you again!
lynn: yesyes I got it!!:):)
