brand new week (sem)!

i guess i'll HAVE to feel better since it has already been 2 days since friday.

just get over it, okay?


i'm waiting for pam to arrive and we'll probably head to our favourite brunch place after she put down her luggages (:

the uni semester starts formally tomorrow. our first week of seeing patients.
let it be a good start!

have a good week ahead everyone!

=(

the past 3 weeks had been rather a breeze and i really like that kind of life. but it just had to end on a bad note.

YOU made me feel so horrible, as if i really wanted it to happen. BUT NO, i tried very hard and it just didn't work out. you were simply so sarcastic (every sentence you said was trying to imply something negative). it won't hurt you to be just a little encouraging, right? give me a chance to move on, and I'll promise that I'll be better.

i simply don't know if you are trying to play some reverse psychology game with me. like you think the harsher you treat me, the more i'll prove you wrong? if that's the case, i really really hope that i'll be able to prove you wrong.

but for now, because of you, i'll losing faith (or rather lost faith) in myself and feel so useless.

=(

my new home

this is my bed (: as u can see, i don't get a nice view outside my window cause i'm living on the lower floor, but still, i love the fact that there's a lot of sunlight. ahh i love watching tv and using my laptop on my bed. feels very shiok. thanks to the guys for setting up wireless in my place!
i'll probably post photos of my mini living room and kitchen some other day when my study table and kitchen are neater.


made birthday cards for jasmine and amy! can't really do much scrapbooking here in aust cause i don't have my materials with me. and i don't have much time anyways.





more photos the next time!

uni

just came back from 6 hours of rem pros preclinic (with an hour of lecture in between). and i feel as if i just fought a war.

i'm just so tired, taking impressions with that damn material called zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE). the smell of all the materials is just so bad and i can't believe i actually inhaled all those fumes throughout that 6 hours.

the first 3 weeks of uni are supposed to be intensive, cause the timetable says so. but its kind of relaxing in the sense that we are having very little lectures and lots of preclinical and clinical sessions. so, we don't have to do much after our day ends. just rest (:

but but, there are also extremely boring seminars that really drain me totally.

oh btw, i kind of settled down in my new place already and i'm loving my new life. living alone is way cooler than i thought (:

thanks to my friends who helped me move my stuff, and thanks to cheney and jin for helping me so much with my internet. u guys are awesome (:

since its monday,

(from a friend's Tumbler)

have a great week everyone! (:

be strong, my friend

my friend's going through a very hard time :( really hope she'll be strong!

will pray for u and your family! take care dear.

(:

HAPPY CNY!

HAPPY CNY EVERYBODY! may all of us have an awesome year ahead!

i have so many things to update on this blog.. after all, my two months summer hols is ending real soon (flying back earlier than planned) and i'm glad to say that my hols have been very fufilling because i managed to accomplish everything i wanted/planned to do. cheers :)

my hols started on a good note with a temp job that i (was pretty lucky) found online. working in a hotel was definitely a pleasant experience. nice colleagues and bosses, meals provided, lots of freedom, managable work. and the best thing was that they were comfortable with me working for 1 month, which meant that i could just spend my other month doing things that i want to do.

and so, my second month was about attachment with NUS dentistry (it was rewarding!), hong kong trip, more meet-up sessions with friends, spring cleaning, bringing Jin (korean friend) around Sg etccc.

hong kong trip was AWESOME to the max! love the fact that i was travelling with my sis and everything was well-planned. =D yes, we just ate, shopped, ate, shopped ... ...

meet-up sessions were kind of difficult to plan, cause everyone's so busy with uni/internships/preparation for exchange.. thanks friends for accomodating my schedule! at least we managed to catch up on quite a bit of stuff!

Jin was in Singapore for the past 5 days and bringing him around was such a torture. hahaa no la, not because of him, but rather, the super bad weather (!!!) and the lack of places to bring him around. but at least now there's RWS/USS and MBS in Sg. But Jin's just amazing. he eats everything and anything, tries to fit into the sg culture, agrees with any plans that we have for him, and does not complain about anything. =D yes, a super guai tourist (except for the fact that he keeps imitating me)!

CNY was pretty normal this year. haha the same questions, as usual, "which year are u in uni?",
"how many more years before you grad?", "when are u going back to Melb?", "How's uni?" blah blah blah.
having a bad cough now so i can't really indulge in all the cny goodies. booo, i want my bak kwa and pineapple tarts. had to see a doc just now to get stronger antibiotics. 24-hour doctors are suckers - $75 for consultation and medication.

good news and bad news.
good news first, THANK GOD that i'm managed to change my flight back to melb to the 5th of feb! so i won't be missing my 9am preclinics on the first day of sch. PHEW.

bad news, i'm not prepared (emotionally and physically) to go back earlier. just started to sink into the CNY mood and i haven't started packing. i have loads of stuff to bring back.
I need to arrange a new appt for the collection of keys for my new apartment and the connection of my utitilies. and i'm in the process of getting all these done. pray that everything will go smoothly.

this sem's timetable is simply crazy.
8am-5pm. starting clinics this sem. pray for nice and good patients. (:

bye singapore again - not sure when i'm flying back the next time, most probably end of the year? whatever it is, see u guys then! =D

love,
leona
