neutral weekend

'cos good + bad = neutral

|Good| Being the optimist that i am, i shall talk abt the GOOD abt the weekend. Productivity aside, i actually got a very restful weekend. Slept a lot, slacked alot and even watched Harry potter with my family! The next best thing is probably being able to drive my dad's car. Taking the car just makes me feel that i've grown up, again! :)

|The BAD| I could shoot myself in my feet for this... i forgot to take out my very important notebook from my lapcoat for once and this is the state it is in now.. It DISINTEGRATED totallyyyyyy!! ~!@#$%^
All the notes i have taken during classes, important contact numbers, gone!! Havent really figured out what to tell my classmates who wanted to borrow this little notebk :( -SIGH-
Haha.. bad news is tt's only part one of my bad sunday. My textbook and lecture notes also got wet at the back car seat from a leaking bottle. I really HATE it when my books get all wrinkly and crumpled even after i iron page-by-page.
Shall not complain too much.. there's nothing much i can to change all tt has happened!
|superdad| I LOVE my daddy! He's really the best man in my world! It's amazing how he finds the right words to say when i'm feeling the lousiest. Stimes he says nothing, but the power of his presence is sufficiently comforting. What he told me: Take what has happened as a lesson. It prob happened so that it doesnt happened to sth more important than ur notebook. Never take anything for granted, check twice always esp when it comes to minimising the occurance of sth that could potentially spoil your day.

Christmas Island

|Christmass is Near| I was doing my family's grocery shopping over the weekend when noticed the supermarket i was in was playing Xmas jingles and had xmas decoration everywhere! It never fails to get me excited all over again to know that xmas is round the corner. Afterall it IS my favourite festive season of the year. The season of giving, the season of renewed hopes, the season of colours, cheers and happiness! Cant wait for this yr's xmas to come!!
Anyway, I also thought it's very apt to show a pic of Christmas island. I hope to go there some day to witness the massive massive loads of red crabs crawling everywhere! Heard they're out somewhere near xmas too :) What an interesting way to celebrate Xmas -- with crabs!!

apple heart

|I love apples| Isnt this apple pretty? I wonder if i'll eat it when i find one. At the end of the day, the apple cant be kept forever, so might as well take a photo and eat it, ya? :) I realise not everyone knows this: You can find a star when u cut the apple horizontally. Try it! It may not be a perfect star, but u'll still be able to recognise it :) So, now everyone knows tt star fruits arent the only fruits assoicated with stars. I love stars!
-PINCHES NOSE- Really you know.. i never knew KE fumigates weekly. I'm suffocating in my room. Someone pls help me!!

in love with Natgeog Mag

I am so supposed to be studying hard but i got quite a plesant surprise with this month's issue of National Geographic. Shall welcome this break then! :)

|New desktop background| Hee.. this actually replaced my chocolate background. THIS is how much i love the pics!!

There were countless pics i wanted to scan to share with everyone but time just doesnt permit and there's also just too many of them :) Here's a selection. Enjoy!

|Handsome Boy|
I absolutely fell in love with this pic. I believe it's how the photographer has captured the uniqueness of this little boy's childhood :)


|Young at heart, always| This month's national geographic issue focuses on "HOW TO LOVE LONGER". Can you believe it? This grandpa is 100 years old!!! Not everyone will get the opportunity to wakeboard, let alone to wakeboard at 100 yrs old. How cool!!

Banana smile

|Surprise Surprise!| a friend of mine got this for a breakfast surprise. How cute!! :)

January 7

Your Birthdate: January 7

You are an island. You don't need anyone else to make you happy. And though you see yourself as a loner, people are drawn to you. Deep and sensitive, you tend to impress others with your insights. You also tend to be psychic - so listen to that inner voice! Your strength: Your self sufficiency Your weakness: You despise authority Your power color: Maroon Your power symbol: Hammer Your power month: July

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

枫 - 周杰伦

I really love this song from the new 周杰伦 album.
Read the lyrics.. it's beautiful!! :)

乌云在我们心里刻下一块阴影
我聆听沉寂已久的心情
清晰透明就像美丽的风景
总在回忆里才看的清
被伤透的心能不能够继续爱我
我用力牵起没温度的双手
过往温柔已经被时间上锁
只剩挥散不去的难过
缓缓掉落的枫叶像思念
我点燃烛火温暖岁末的秋天
极光掠过天边
北风掠过想你的容颜
我把爱烧成了落叶
却换不回熟悉的那张脸
缓缓掉落的枫叶像思念
为何挽回要赶在冬天来之前
爱你穿越时间
两行来自秋末的眼泪
让爱渗透了地面
我要的只是你在我身边
被伤透的心能不能够继续爱我
我用力牵起没温度的双手
过往温柔已经被时间上锁
只剩挥散不去的难过
在山腰间飘逸的红雨
随著北风凋零我轻轻摇曳风铃
想唤醒被遗弃的爱情
雪花已铺满了地
深怕窗外枫叶已结成冰

boohoo.. i hate it when i fall sick esp when i get a SORE THROAT. It's really painful when you cannot talk, eat and drink properly :( Wish all of us wont fall sick, wish there arent those pesky bugs around!! Anyway, on top of my illness, i could feel how nice it is to have a nice cool bath on a warm day and a nice warm bath in the cold evening. To make things better, the experience just gets better when u accompany it with nice body foam or shampoo. Here's one of them that just made my day

New additions

This is the xray matthew gave me ystdy that got me really excited. How often do u get to keep ur xrays and better still give them away to make a medical student happy! Haha.. i had to explain to him what it is that is shown in the xray. I was amazed myself to see the scapula to be "y-shaped". Interesting. So this is the first new addition to my room! Hopefully this can in some way or other remind me tt i have to study real hard for my upcoming tests.






This is one of the notorious grandma's favourite medication. I havent exactly tried applying it on my wounds until my fall in ubin 'cos i've heard so much abt how much pain its capable of inflicting! VERY powerful indeed. The pain is probably worthwhle though, considering tt my wound is probably on its way to recovery -beams-. Never forget to bring it along to pulau ubin. it can stop those irritating itch caused by mosquitoes pretty well ;)

pulau ubin

What is that???



|wild oink| This is the wild boar i saw at pulau ubin! How many of us actually get to see one of these running about? As expected, my trip to pulau ubin was yet another hilight of my week and it was really fruitful too! Thanks to Matthew (haha.. must acknowledge) who's the organiser!

Things to do at Ubin:
1. Cycle
You can either bring ur bike over or rent a bike. I'd personally recommend that you rent a bike there 'cos it doesnt cost much and bringing ur own bike would mean u have to pay to get it ferried over to the island and clean / wash it after riding it over mud :) The bikes there are really gd and comfortable too!
Tip: Dont just rent ur bike from the first stall u seen, the rental fees are cheaper as u walk down the row of shows.

2. Visit when it's low tide
There'll be plenty of things to see at chek jawa. We werent lucky enough to be there at the right time to see the sand bank, but we could still watch some tiny crabs and even tried to catch them.

3. Lunch
Try this thing called moonlight horfun. Dont know what it is? It's worth a try!
Tip: We ordered homecooked chrysanthamum to go with our lunch :)

4. Coconut
Didnt try them myself, but when the weather is warm, i'm sure it'll be a refreshing treat.

5. Quarry
Quarry visits are extremely useful when u happen to get urself dirty along the way. There are shrimps to watch and play with too! :)

6. Farm visit!
I especially like this one cos this is where i saw the wild boar! I saw a custard apple tree for the first time too! Ohya, when i was there, there's this bird in a cage with a HUGE pile of poo beneath it. Was quite a funny sight :)

I wasnt on the island for long but i REALLY enjoyed myself. I can forsee myself going back soon, esp to take a look at chek jawa. Anyone wanna come??

Week's coming to an end, part of me really dont want to let it pass cos it's been such a great week. Now that more work's waiting to be done, perhaps i can only have such fun again when my exams are over :(

On a more cheerful note, knowing myself, i'll prob be able to sandwich some fun times btwn work time :) Guess it's not too bad after all!

absolutely positively love this week

|Blessed and pleased| Though the wk hasnt come to an end nothing's going to stop me from posting right now about this week.

|ISTANA OPEN HOUSE|

My week was first made special by this bunch of guys from medicine play props team! From left:Raymond,me,weixiang,perryn,wenyang,ronnie and quanyao the boss. It was great outing cos i could feel that these people are potentially going to be my very gd friends throughout my career. How fortunate of me, cos all the them are very bright and yet very modest people :) The hilight of the day was the visit to the istana where Perryn (in uniform, their classmate) -aww.. how unfortunate of him- was on guard duty. He remained silent and still throughout when tourists and ourselves took photos with him.

I took more photos with my phone. Enjoy!
Hope u can see why my first visit to the istana left me looking forward to my next!









|chocolate craving|

Thanks baiwei, my tabletennis coach for this very awesome chocolate. ALL of you should try it, cos it's really gd! The funnest thing i rmbr with the choc is baiwei actually thought i was underage and shouldnt take lindt's range of chocolate with liquer. -lol and rolls of the floor-

oh btw, my laptop is in the background. u nv thought i could be this girlie huh? i'm still contemplating if i should remove the stickers, cos everyone says i'm spoiling my laptop surface.

|the BEST|

I'm very sure that this is going to be the best thing that has happened this wk. Thanks dear for your wonderful surprise!! Aunty made me 2 really yummy muffins and kendrick got me a bk i've been wanting to get, what more can i ask for?

I feel so SO blessed, so SO spoilt, so SO undeserving of all the things tt has cheered me up so much :)

Matt's organising ubin cycling trip tmr and that will definitely end this week so perfectly.

Last but not least, a BIG thankyou to all those who has made my week very special. This week really cant be better :)
