uni update

woohoo!!

i can finally access my blog on my work com! how exciting.

think it was the blogskin that was causing me problems, for whatever reasons. this blogskin is temporary. don't like it too much.

anyway, let me update you on my uni stuff.

i've been rejected by NUS med, given my 2nd choice(biz). think i'm choosing SMU over NUS. afterall SMU's giving me a double degree. if i really do end up in biz, might as well have more degrees right?? hahaha.

at the same time, i'm waiting for the 3 unis that i've applied for in australia to reply me. just took my ISAT test (for monash and western aust) and well. i have no comments. it's been 6 months since i used my brain? wow. really rusty. can die. but aiyar. what the heck. i'm not sure if i need to take any test for adelaide. shall go check. oh for the record, i've been rejected by UNSW. apparently the reason for rejection is due to my previous academic results, which probably means my O's? well. i got 9points then. it just shows how competitive things are. who would have known that my history would have come back to haunt me. *shrugs*. kids out there still taking your O's or PSLE, please study VERY HARD. hahahahaha.

man. me, a business woman? wow. i can't imagine.

aiyar, my biggest angst is that i have to network and fight fight fight. i hate networking! and i'm a peace loving creature(hahaha). ok not that being a doctor is not full of fighting, but i think there's less of it? (ok many docs would have disagreed with my statement) ok and apparently being a doctor does not mean you have an iron rice bowl anymore. but how about porcelain? if all goes well, your rice bowl's good. make a mistake and it can break. but business? i think of a rice bowl made up of earth. if all's good, fine. but it's super vulnerable to environmental conditions. too hot, will crack. rain? will dissolve. cold? i don't know, something bad to fit my description i guess. hahahhaa.

anyway photos are on their way up. have been busy still, not much time to do what i want. OH WELL.

the news about the UNSW singapore campus closing down is really devastating.. and it even affects me indirectly. oh well. don't understand why is life like that. *shrugs*

passerby: ok i hope i didn't mention anything that offended you. but ya i know that there are rj people who didn't get into the course of their choice. it's just that sometimes you see so many rj people around and so few others (for eg. in med) that you wonder if there's any biasness involved? even just to get shortlisted. unless we people from other schools are really that lousy and of sub standard, that we cant be compared with rjc/hci etc on paper or in person. or maybe we are just being sour grapes. i hope you understand that we are just trying to understand why are we "not good enough" and may jump the gun at times in our frustration and anger. really sorry if any of us said anything offensive. cheers, and hope that you managed to get the course and uni of your choice, if you are also applying for unis now. :)

gil: thanks babe :). you too!!

xh: yar, soon soon, the photos will be up hahaha. and yes, JIA YOU!! i dont think i'd be appealing anyway for NUS med.

wuzun: hey thanks dude. but anyway it's in black and white now. AHAHAHAA. hey i cant stand it, who are u?? ahhaha

k: thanks dear :). oh, you doodle enough. too much. hahahahaha. but it's really cute la i admit :p.

bella: ok long overdue reply to your tag. hahaha! but i agree, crying is a good tool. but heard that it wont work if you use it too many times :p. so please, cry in moderation. hHAHA

tran: ok dont think you will read this. but AHH. so irritating. didnt get to see you. really hope our paths will cross again one day. saw your pic at veron's blog. wah, you damn hot la! getting hotter by the day. *GRRR* hahahaha. take care babe, and if i can't become a doc, i'll come and find you to treat me when i'm ill, alright? love you and take care :)

Passage of Time / Circle of Trust / Work / Uni

Passage of Time

AHHH!! it's OVEEERR!!!

the musical i was doing (The Passage of Time) has finally ended! it was from last friday to sunday at jubilee hall, raffles hotel.

gosh i'm still on high. so happy that nuans, xinyi, shu and ade came. and glad that there were many positive comments about the play. very very happy :). the music and lines are still being played on repeatedly in my head! lalalaaaa :):):). oooh, and many people requested for us to restage it! that's the greatest compliment ever. tentatively it will be restaged from 7-9 december 2007! how exciting!

ok at first i was groaning at the thought of restaging it (angie, the bf pres, suggested that to us on the 2nd day of performance). but now that it's all over, i can't wait to do it once more!! i enjoyed myself so very much. the line reading, the 3-times-or-more practices a week, the crappy and funny moments with everyone, the frustrating full dress rehearsal, the frenzy in the backstage, the tiring but happy hotel stay... gosh. i want more!!

i took many MANY photos. think i'll upload all of it here. but i have like 100 over photos? think blogger will vomit html when i do that. ok. maybe i'll create another blog just for photos? or livejournal? errr. ok shall think about it :). cuz i don't wanna use yahoo photos or some image hosting site as so far all of them are less than satisfactory.

it was so fun. gosh. still basking in the glory and jubilation of the play. (and in celebration of the event, my pimples and eyebags have decided to pop out and beautify my face. sweet.)

shall blog more about the play later!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Circle of Trust

went for Circle of Trust (COT) outing ytd after work. linghui couldn't make it, and tran was back in vietnam ploughing padi fields, so that leaves just me, veron, nuans, jiali, xiaohui, christine, and ruth.

went to sakae. despite having lack of rest, i still found it a pretty enjoyable experience. (in case you don't know, my mood can get really foul if i dont have enough sleep. that explains my perpetual pms.)

decided to leave earlier though at around 9pm. my bed beckons in a seductive tone! ok i don't know why am i adding such weird adjectives and it all doesn't really make sense but heck laaarr hahaha.

ok i will add in photos from the outing too :).


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Work

ooh yea, even Work gets to be blogged about, and have a seperate title of its own! and it's no longer labled as "shit" or "crap" or "sucky". wheee :)!

recently, a new temp staff, kaori, has come and joined us! ok not that recent, she has been with us since like the beginning of this month. yar la i'm lag laarr. sorry kaori, if your reading this. you aren't important enough for me to blog about you immediately mah. HAHAHA. ok just kidding, JUST KIDDING :).

anyway she's really nice and funny. and finally work isn't such a chore! at least i've got a kah kee of my era(hahaha) with me here. and not forgetting the ridiculously heavy work load(depends on the time of the day of course) is lightened with her presence. hope she won't suffer too badly, especially when i'm gone, when she has to take on the job by herself. but her, if hui lin can do it for 1 month on her own, so can you :)!

ooohh, we (gil, kaori, and i) will be going for a stingray dinner soon! ok not THAT soon, but soon enough. maybe around 7 june. how exciting!!! i'll be sure to miss those 2 girls. these 2 girls make work life more bearable. and it'll be quite sad if gil's really leaving. no more "hello wello" and "saddie waddie". (yes, gil says these kind of things. it's highly addictive and gets stuck in your head, unfortunately). it's so weird. aiyar whatever laar. *does a whatever hand gesture*

ooh, i'll be unemployed soon!! at the end of this month! i'll be as free as a little birdie... *chirp chirp chirp* but no more income from the outside world. i'll become a leech and suck my parents dry of their moneeeeyyy. not good not good.

actually hor. i just realised that it's really weird that i'm complimenting gil and kaori on my blog, when they read them. it seems like i'm bootlicking right? but yet again, as they would claim that i'm right and that they really are such nice and adorable girls, they would say that i'm not sucking up to them and i'm just stating the facts. HAAHAA. ok now i'm really monologuing. *continues to talk to herself*


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Uni

ok i've decided to add this last topic in.

in short, i'm very stressed about it now. i havent gotten anything from NUS, and i suspect they are just damn freaking biased. i was so stressed that i finally cried in the middle of orchard mrt ytd(with COT surrounding me, thank gawd). and ok lar didn't really CRY like sobsob, but tears just poured out of my eyes.

i hate it that the world is so elitist, and unfairness of it all. and i'm already considered part of the elite(when you compare me with the rest of singapore). however among the elite, njcians are like the bottom of the pool. aiyar everything's just so unfair lar. labels always seem to matter all the time. where you are from, what family you are from, which school you are from... people never take you as who you are.

yet again, how much time do people have to get to know another person? so labels become important, to place a finger on WHAT are you, even if it is inaccurate. it's to give us a false sense of security and confidence that we KNOW.

ok. it's time for work. hope everyone's doing well. tata :)!

funny emails

today i've gotten two funny emails! as i'm sucha kind girl, i shall share my joy and happiness with you all :):):)

Email 1:

Guys' Rules
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down.
Finally, the guys' side of the story. (I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear "the rules "From the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!


1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work!Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of them makes you sad or angry, then we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done.Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle, besides we know you will bring it up again later.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;


But did you know men really don't mind that?
It's like camping.

Pass this to as many men as you can - to give them a laugh.
Pass this to as many women as you can - to give them a bigger laugh

Why I Fired My Secretary

Last week was my birthday
And I didn't feel very well
Waking up on that morning.

I went downstairs for breakfast
Hoping my wife would be pleasant and say, "Happy Birthday!", and
Possibly have a small present for me.

As it turned out,
She barely said good morning,
Let alone
" Happy Birthday."

I thought...
Well,
that's marriage for you,
But the kids....
They will remember.

My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word.
So when I left for the office,
I felt pretty low
And somewhat despondent.

As I walked into my office,
My secretary Jane said,
"Good Morning Boss,
And by the way
Happy Birthday ! "
It felt a little better
That at least someone had remembered.

I worked until one o'clock ,
When Jane knocked on my door
And said, "You know,
It's such a beautiful day outside,
And it is your Birthday,
What do you say we go out to lunch,
Just you and me."
I said, "Thanks, Jane,
that's the greatest thing
I've heard all day.
Let's go !"

We went to lunch.
But we didn't go
Where we normally would go.
She chose instead a quiet bistro
With a private table.
We had two martinis each
And I enjoyed the meal tremendously.

On the way back to the office,
Jane said, "You know,
It's such a beautiful day...
We don't need to go straight back to the office, Do We ?"

I responded,
"I guess not.
What do you have in mind ?"
She said,
"Let's drop by my apartment,
it's just around the corner."

After arriving at her apartment,
Jane turned to me and said,
" Boss, if you don't mind,
I'm going to step into the bedroom
For just a moment.
I'll be right back."

"Ok." I nervously replied.

She went into the bedroom and,
After a couple of minutes,
She came out
Carrying a huge birthday cake ...
Followed
By my wife,
My kids,
And dozens of my friends
And co-workers,
All singing "Happy Birthday".

And I just sat there...

On the couch...

Naked.

BOO

AHHH. not to mention i havent checked for everyone else yet when i'm supposed to be in charge of props and costumes(with big huiling).

at this moment i really wish that i aint working, so that i can concentrate on what i really like and want to do. and to do it WELL.

i'm so glad that i joined bf. there are so many amazing people around. talented, strong, kind, compassionate, loving. simply amazing.

ok tmr's a rest day, probably. if i choose to go home and rest that is.

anyway regarding medicine interviews, it went alright. heard rumours of results coming up this or next week. so yar! we'll see. hehhehheh.

ok i'm too tired to continue blogging. sorry for the lack of content, folks. and replies to tags will come later. i reached home at 1am ytd, and 12:15am today. and havent caught up on my sleep dept. ok, good night everyone. hope all's going well!! :)
