Where are u?
i'm over this whole thing.
Like over it.
*
I guess everyone looks for the reason for living.
Sadly,i like most others,have not found the reason
Everything i do seems meaningless overall
Sure,i laugh,cry,enjoy,go crazy,scream..
But at the end of the day,meaningless.
*
One of the cutest uncles i've ever nursed was a 92yr old man
Had the most kind eyes.
Reason for consultation was : A cough
Reason for admission: No one to take care of him at home.
No outstanding medical issues
He walks around, eats his food, no need of oxygen.
Entirely indepedent.
Why then?
Admitted as if this was the only place he could go.
It made me soo upset.
How i wish i could have housed this man.
Have u guys ever felt so in love with ur patients and so upset wid their background that you wished u had the ability to bring them home and take care of them?
*
It seems bleak at this moment.
We'll have to see.
At the time being,the sole meaning in life is Iceland,it's a big goal
But i'll be there.
=)

Happy 20th Shann Foo
We spent many memorable times tgt,from the first day i punched u n made ur nose bleed. i should apologise shouldn't i? Gimme another year.
=P

good memories
It's fine.
All these will end with a smile on my face with good memories
to laugh back on
to giggle when i remember.
I'll remember you.

The Goodnight,beautiful book was too compelling.
The feelings were all mixed
and mashed up into the small chamber called the heart
Tossed and turned,
flattened and spreadout..
only to be mashed together again
and then torn apart
The love was that powerful.
Only in fairy tales n happily-ever-afters..

The off day of the year
Apparently,the other mac at tampines was burnt.
Anyway,Sister Candice came along and guess wad we went to buy?
Heh heh.

And then,we walked around the cutey shops.
I said i wanted to buy this yellow sesame street pencil case coz it was kinda love at first sight
But Candice say "Not nice,and it was expensive too. Go Mini toons see got any nice one."
Nothing.
I went to Times to look at books.
When parting ways she turned and said "Eh,help me hold this!!"
*Thrusts plastic bag to me*

The case was bought for me!
Omg. i was like.. CRAZY!

But the Mcgriddles i had earlier was still hanging around somewhere in the stomach
So we walked and decided on sumthing "lighter".

difficult
Zu:
I dunno how to thank u with words.
Or to show u how appreciative i am for all that u've given and offered
Ur shoulder whenever i cried, which was often enuf.
A hug when i really really needed it,wen i felt no one in the ward was on my side.
A scolding when i deserved one. (heh heh)
Guidance which was as basic as it got.
A concerned expression when everything seemed to be in a mess
And most of all ur friendship.
=D
lotsa luuurve BaNgau.
Do come back and see how much stronger i've grown (fingers crossed)
LOL!!
u're safe
I've been in a crazy state of mind these 2 days
Couldn't help being overly upset and overly worried.
He's fine so i'm much better too.
I'm correcting the mistakes that were put out like flyers.
Case closed.
Now,my worries are:
1) The trip
2) The week to come wid my TWO biggest nightmares.
3) The awkardness of peer support to come

popaih dayy
*breathes in and out*
Ate overly much.
it's been 3 years since i last had my grandma's popiah
how we do it is,popiah skin, eggs,prawns,veg,peanuts,sauce all laid out seperately
So it's something like a "Build-Ur-Own-Popiah" thing
There's where i get a lil carried away
Full of eggs and sauce... x5
i noe..
5 popiahs?!?!?!
Sheesh..
My mum ate 5 too!
LOL..
Went over to compass point for awhile
Bought bag full of sweets
I see the importance of succeeding Ah Mu in this sweets business
we need to have a sweet in our mouths more often.
Smile ppl.
Suddenly,i'm back in the 44 mood.
=D
