Missing daddy

My daddy flew over to phuket with the rescue team ystdy. I know it's only been a day but i've started to miss him soo bad. It's just so different having to wake up on my own with 2 alarm clocks [haa.. with jon being the third -grin-(thx jon!)] Hope my dad will come back safe and sound.. OHYA! My great daddy was on news last night. Made me super proud of him :) Sadly, though he's on a noble mission, i cant help but be upset tt i cant celebrate his bdae (03/01) for him and he wont be there to celebrate mine too :( On the left is my dad celebrating my 2nd bdae. I dont look like my dad then, but now i do -grin-

i love my shoe!

I havent love any pair of shoe this much! This pair is handmade and reminds me soo much of my ballet shoes. I wore them to work today and they just make me want to skip ard office. Haa.. i must say nothing could have made my happy day more perfect! There's even carvings at the soles, though i think they'll be worn off soon :( So i sketched the carvings below :)

da Vinci

I've been reading Angels & Demons by the same author of Da Vinci's code. It's an absolute thumbs up! Well, coincidentally, Singapore has started to offer robot surgery using da Vinci Surgical System. I heard with this robot, countless complex operations have now become minimally invasive procedures. It's amazing how we usually lose 600-800cc of blood during surgery, but with this robot, it's just abt 100cc. Sounds like this new type of surgery can potentially make surgery less painful and traumatic ;)

a child at heart

Work's been tiring me from head to toe! But it's altogether exciting when i get to squeeze so much into a day :) Sometimes when i'm done with work, i'd go down to the clinic in hope to learn sth and sometimes i'd drag myself to meet up with friends, go for gatherings and outings after work. Sounds terrible? Actually, if u ask me, the most terrible thing's lotsa good food + little opportunity to move ard. This is really bad.. i'm feeling unhealthy!
Talking abt a child at heart. Rmbr those times when u just go ahead to do sth which u're told not to do? I felt the same way when i got invited to dance. My new shoes were killing my feet but i went ahead :) *lol* I must have looked awful. I dont regret it though, it made the day so perfect! *beams* *lifts an unwrapped present*

Eternity

Close your eyes so you don't feel them,
They don't need to see you cry.
I can't promise I will heal you,
But if you want to, I will try

I sing this somber serenade,
The past is done, we've been betrayed, it's true
Someone said the truth will out,
I believe without a doubt, in you

You were there for summer dreaming,
and you gave me what I need.
And I hope you find your freedom,
for eternity...for eternity.

Yesterday when you were walking,
We talked about your mom and dad.
What they did that made you happy,
What they did that made you sad.

We sat and watched the sun go down,
Picked a star before we lost the moon
Youth is wasted on the young,
Before you know it's come and gone, too soon
for eternity

Missing Cambridge

It's been exactly a year since i left for cambridge. The thought of it makes me miss cambridge miserably.. Hmm... especially after knowing for sure tt i wont be studying there since i didnt even apply :( I miss the streets there, I miss their scones, I miss my dorm, I miss the colour of the lawn, i miss the morning dew, i miss the breeze.. In short i miss everything!
The gd news is it's probably not as bad as it sounds:) At least i can say for sure that i'm making the most out of my hols. I'm learning so much from my job and from things i read. Will share some with you soon :)
Back to work :)

the universal language

i learnt today that the language that everyone on earth is capable of understanding in their hearts is love.

thanks nic for the book! it taught me soo much
