Back to reality

todays sunday.
The first sunday since starting work. Dear god im tired.
Not sure if its cause im not in my usual clinic
Or if its cause i have the horrid news tt i wouldnt be under neuro anymore~
I spent yesterday doing nothing at all.
Dragged both feet to work last week and hoping things fell better next.
On the other hand, coming back home to USC has been awesome.
The hugs, the lighted up faces.. Makes me feel missed and so loved.

Even tiny prof J gave me a hug (now tt was unexpected)
Most look at me not realising who i am, but when it registers, BAM! the face smiles.
Kinda makes me feel everything i did/suffered for was worth it.

Its nice.
Ssc.. Is diff. Really loud veryyy much like 44 before.
We never cared which patient was listening or nearby. We laughed, joked, cursed so freely.
Didnt know i got so uptight til i came back to such an environment.
Im still getting used to it. Trying my best not to SHUUSH the girls at ssc whenever it gets a lil rowdy.
The people there speak their minds, and very often thrash things out for the world to hear. Im amazed.

There was tired colleagues whom i feel sorry for.
It is my fault they are over stretched and yet they smile and welcome me back warmly with no complaints. Ok maybe some complains..
Havent see YTT since hes out. But having e flintstone acknowledge me and come look for me is something... I feel proud of (proud may not be e best description but i dunno how else to put it)
The fact he picked up his ass to come over was kinda jawdropping, not just for me, but for e whole clinic.
Burm is still as sweet as ever. What can i say?
Im not sure if theres a hidden agenda on our friendship but i shall continue to doubt that.

All in all, it feels good to be back.
Hopefully waking up becomes easier and life wud be back on track.
Im glad i stuck to this npl.
Probably would have regretted if i resigned. Where else do i find such wonderful people to work alongside?
For e pain and the tears ahead of me. Im not ready, but i shall prepare.

Coming to an end

Today marks the 5th week in Seoul.

It feels like just yesterday i reached icn and lost e damn luggage.

How could time pass so bloody fast??

Heading home soon.

Feels like the end of the world.

11 more days in this city and e weather ranges from perfect-freezing.

But i rather this than sweating it out back home.

How will it feel settling back into a routine not done in e last 6months?

The date of work has been planned out.

How this all this end in a blink of an eye when yesterday e parents and me were blinking back our tears of goodbye?

Depression sets in NAO

Taeyang's CK fansign

First korean fan sign in my life thanks to Jihye.

Had to buy a 80bucks CK perfume (limited to 70) to get into e fansign~

Wahhh it was absolutely amazinggg!

He took his time to sign.

Told him im from sg and that i went to all 3 days of his seoul concert. He was amazed. I said 'i have proof in my bag, can i show it to u?' Sure.

Out comes a nicely pasted 3 day concert tkt! And he goes u really are a true fan!

I shall draw my bear for you because you are a true fan!

^^

He said he will see me in Singapore! ㅋㅋㅋ 

Heard the girls before me in e line saying the staff didnt allow hand shaking.

But i thought, i HAVE TO TRY! It would probably be my only chance.

So after he said see you in singapore, i asked very meekly "may i shake your hand please?"

^_____^ the eye smile he gave me was to die for.

Out cane te hand and BAM! My first handshake w Dong YoungBae~

*dances

Ok, im 25 and i shall stop.

<3

SO MUCH LOVE.

The perfect sleep

The simple joys of..

Not needing the eyemask

Not using earplugs

Not having to reinforce earplugs with a towel

Not needing to fold 3 shirts to lift a very very flat almost-not-there pillow

Not worrying bout bedbugs

Not listening to snores

Not wearing 4 layers of clothes and socks

Just joy.

Only one good thing in London

London was... Bleh.

As expected

We only had one full day and two nights

Other than the very entertaining river thames cruise it was alright.

Weather was good.

Stayed at a student hostel. Went there expecting an apartment. 

Iphone cable decided to die on the very last day and had to ask the reception to charge it.

Black guy.. Wasnt too friendly at first but i managed to break the ice! 

:)

Met a mother and daughter who was starting school there..

The music the black guy was playing started to get to me after e first 30mins of waiting.. Asked him and he very very sweetly, (after much friendly talk) said he could transfer all his music to me if i have a thumbdrive

BINGO!! I was waiting for just that.

Reggae music.. Who knew it was good?

Then while transfering 5gb worth of music, a prince walked in the reception.

Boy did his blue eyes sparkle!

Asked our reggae loving diphelx (pronounced de-flex) for an adaptor but he didnt have one.. So guess which lonesome singaporean girl came to the rescue???

Lol.. He followed me up to get it and we arranged the to meet e next day to get it back.

Sad to say.

We missed each other. I went to bathe in e morning and he met the dad 

-.-

That was the end of my prince story.

The dad ended it with a "he was a very nice boy!"

TSK

I didnt even get his country of residence much less his name.

 

THAT was the ONE good thing.

The northern lights

It's been raining and cloudy almost everyday in Reykjavik cept the first day we came.

Today, finally we got some sun!

Aurora activity forecasts were high and there was promise of clear skies which can only mean AURORA LIGHTS TONIGHT!

so we went, happily to book a tour and off we went at 8am.

Its now 2am back in e apartment and seriously...

Sigh

The guide herself was excited as the chances were as high as it could get..

Saw a wave of green but it disappeared in an instant after awhile, the fingers and toes started to hurt so went back to the bus to wait.

15mins later we hear 

'It's starting its starting!' The experienced driver said.

The whole bus ran towards the dark open field and caught the beginning of a dance.. Then faded into the clouds. 

I could see it, behind the clouds.. It shone white when it should have been green/red.

This lasted bout 40mins? I was dying to use something to blow the damnedss clouds away!!

Can see yet cannot see. 

Super pek chek!!!!

Basically, we spent 4hrs in 5degrees watching the silhouette of the lights.

FML 

Nothing life changing.

So as much as it was there infront of us, it was considered a failed night.

So as these tour company works, u get to go back 1000 times til u see the lights. But of course, we leave in 2 days and the weather is going back to being grumpy.

-.-

We'll see.. Maybe i really need my husband to watch it with me.

Oslo>>> iceland

On the plane in Oslo transitting from Stavanger and cant wait for e bloody plane to take off!

Take me away Take me away!!

Iceland iceland!

Northern lights northern lights please!!!! 

--

We're landing soon!!

One of the smoothest flights ive ever taken!

The only bump was the girl who kicked my chair from behind. TSK.

I take this flight as a really good sign~

Bring it on Reykjavik!! 

Turkey

Today on e coach towards coppacocia the aia ppl were singing and dancing and acting out hokkien songs

It was absolutely hilarious..

To a point where everyone on e bus was in need of a toilet.

But being on a deserted highway it took nearly an hour before getting to a toilet

The way these singaporeans RANNN to e toilet was the funniest thing ive seen so far.. 

Kalambakka,turkey is famous for its beautiful mineral springs 

<3

Fav part of Istanbul was Cappadocia~

The hot air balloons were absolutely beautiful esp against the sunrise..

Waking at 4am was worth it.

The ascend was super fast and my legs actually turned jelly but once we were up, it was *click click click none stop!

The whole tour grp did hamam tgt

A kinda Turkish bath where we were mud masked, sauna-ed and stripped naked for a good scrubbing.

Being naked infront of these women was.. Daunting at first but im glad i did it.

One gets used to such things.

Did k-food for dinner the tofu soup, despite being salty, was delish!

Seeing these backpackers remind me of my tiring journey hahaha

NO MORE

Fell and sprained an ankle, bruised/scarred the other knee

-.-

We made it to istanbul hilton by flight and arrived at the most luxurious hotel yet.

A suite with a living room and 2 toilets.

The view from our 32md floor was sooo beautiful~ 

Breakfast the next three days was another kinda beauty.. Lol

The AIA gala night was crashed by me and my new friend, Perlyn where we mingled, posed and drank with all the 'elites' of that company. Lol..

We then moved to our last hotel in Istanbul..

It was a heartbreaking goodbye with the suite but it had to be done.

The new hotel, thankfully was very homely and pretty!

Ederun/enderun hotel

Walking distance to the grand bazzar so all was good.

We had thai food twice and it was soo yummayy

And that was the end. 

Norway.. Im coming for u.

A lil kid once more

End August 2014

I DID eat my beef again..

Wasnt as delish as the last time cos e chef prolly cooked it a lil longer but still wonderous.

The past 3 days passed like a dream.

The okayama gardens was really beautiful but the waking early and e journey there.. Was..a looong way

But the garden was too pretty! 

Then headed to nara to play/feed some deers.

There were sooo adorable but scary as they really sniffed the air for the biscuits in ur pocket/bag and chase u..

Sometimes biting ur clothes, though i didnt hear of anyone actually getting bitten

Hugeeeeee aquairum in Osaka.. Though ive always wanted to go to the Okinawa one for it's whale shark.. I found a whale shark here!

So... Im satisfied! 

Andddd

Of course..

The main highlight being harry potter land in Universal studios japan (USJ) 

I went crazy for a good 11+ hrs there

No pics as they are all in the laptop but i was there from 10-10pm

No lunch or dinner but didnt care! 

Omgg i had soooo much fun in japan i wanna go backkk!

Next istanbul~
