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

holiday plans

i will be doing lots of dental-related stuff here in sg during this summer break. and somehow i'm not looking forward cause i really want a break from all things that are related to uni. i just feel kind of forced (by circumstances) to participate. but I guess these are opportunities that I shouldn't miss. i don't want to look back and regret and say shit, why didn't i go for it.


going do some check-ups for maids this saturday at a friend's mum's clinic. feeling lazy to read up on history taking and examination, oral hygiene instructions, radiography etc etc etc . i'm just back for less than a week and i have to look through those notes AGAIN.

and i'm going for an attachment with nus dentistry for a week in january. hopefully the rest of my friends would have already started their sem then we can do meet-ups!

thinking if i should do a temp job (already applied and got a couple of offers) not related to dent.. maybe i should, instead of bumming around and spending lots of $$. =/

2 weeks of home

have been home for 2 weeks already (damn fast!)
yes its just awesomeee to be back home, spending time with the family and friends and myself.

and i'm really enjoying myself, doing lots of things:
*meet-ups with friends [lots of photos to be photoshopped and uploaded!]
*meet-up with ex-colleagues [its so heart-warming to know that they r very concerned abt me (: love them! ]
*spending time with my family [shopping with mum/sis; eating nice food with dad; family gatherings]
*watching boys over flowers [thanks to debbie who saved the episodes onto my hard disk. i think the show's damnnn nice! but i'm really slow at watching, don't think i can complete before going back to melb]
*playing the piano [i'm glad i still rmb how to play my fav songs]
*gym-ing quite intensively [doing lots of cross-training/threadmill, hopefully i can lose weight quickly. and i need more determination to cut down on my diet]
*driving [my dad allows me to drive longer distances, =D ]
*baking [my new lovee <3, but this is bad cause i'm eating lots of the things that i bake]
*watching tv [my tw and hk shows ((: ]

and moreee!

but somehow even now that i'm back in singapore, some things r still weighing on my mind.

and results. i find it really difficult to not worry about my results [i don't know when its going to be out]. damn scaredd.

please give me hope.
