Sunday night :
I thought he was acting weird.
We had made plans to meet at a cafe to have coffee.
I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset that I was a bit late, but he made no comment.
Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so
we could talk.
He agreed but he kept quiet and absent.
I asked him what was wrong.
He said: "Nothing."
I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset.
He said it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry.
On the way home I told him that I loved him.
He simply smiled and kept driving.
I can't explain his behavior; I don't know why he didn't say: "I love u, too."
When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing to
do with me anymore.
He just sat there and watched TV; he seemed distant and absent.
Finally, I decided to go to bed.
About 10 minutes later he came to bed.
I could not take it anymore, so I decided to confront him with the situation but he had fallen asleep.
I started crying and cried until I too fell asleep.
I don't know what to do.
I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else.
My life is a disaster.

Today, Liverpool lost the match. Sigh....

Harry Potter // Dim Sum Dollies
ytd i went to watch harry potter with veron.
honestly i was rather disappointed. expected more from it, looking from the very nice trailer. the movie's different from the book. well, admittedly the book was too long winded. but there were too many changes, even if it was to conveniently shorten the film.
if you read the book, you would be disappointed with the numerous changes. if you didn't read the book, you might not understand the story as sometimes the linkage from one scene to the next was quite bad.
the acting was alright lar. as usual, i'm dissatisfied with dumbledore's acting. he's not as calm and composed as he's supposed to be. he's too... human. too vulnerable to emotions and physical threats. umbridge was pretty good. i like luna and tonks. and oooh, i'm in love with bellatrix. think her acting's fantastic. i wish i can act in a similar role.. as a mad, twisted woman who causes fear to arise in people. woohooo!
hermione and ron had very little screen time. oh well. no quidditch. and a less exciting version of the weasley brothers' exit from hogwarts. and i think mrs fig (was that her name, cant rmb. the squib) should have been all jumpy and frightened, instead of how she was portrayed in the show.
OH WELL. but i would have watched the show no matter what. and i love the view of london as they flew across the waters.
ok, here are two pictures of my beloved Bellatrix Lestrange, played by Helena Bonham Carter. i just love her. fantastic acting as always.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
went to watch Dim Sum Dollies at night with my bro.
gosh, it's a very very good show! very funny, and very nice songs. didn't expect it to be that good. pity that i don't understand hokkien, cantonese, malay. an incentive to be multilingual!
saw my SNGS teachers! ms cheleen chua, mr geraint wong, ms jeya. apparently ms heng was there. gosh! oh and the dim sum dollies also took a dig on the CHIJ girls. quite amused.
presenting to you.... THE DIM SUM DOLLIES!!! *does a little dance*

HAHA
gosh, i can't believe it, we both forgot that today's our 4th month!
and HE remembered it first. at like.. 11:30pm? hahahaha. ok i'm lousy.
actually i kinda like it this way. that we don't put extra emphasis on it, unless we feel like doing so. same logic as the Unbirthday Song. so that instead of having one special day, everyday is equally special!
but i'm so embarrassed for forgetting!! oh, oh!!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THE UNBIRTHDAY SONG
From the Walt Disney film "Alice In Wonderland" (1951)
(Mack David / Al Hoffman / Jerry Livingston)
Statistics prove, prove that you've one birthday
One birthday every year
But there are three hundred and sixty four unbirthdays
That is why we're gathered here to cheer
A very merry unbirthday to you, to you
A very merry unbirthday to you, to you
It's great to drink to someone
And I guess that you will do
A very merry unbirthday to you
A very merry unbirthday to us, to us
A very merry unbirthday to us
If there are no objections
Let it be unanimous
A very merry unbirthday to us
A very merry unbirthday to me (to who)
A very merry unbirthday to me (to you)
Let's all congratulate me
With a present I agree
A very merry unbirthday to me
A very merry unbirthday to all, to all
A very merry unbirthday to all, to all
Let's have a celebration
Hire a band and rent a hall
A very merry unbirthday
A very merry unbirthday
A very merry unbirthday to all

panic attacks // bogus monks
gaaahh i haven't been able to sleep well recently. first, i take a long time to get to sleep. then i wake up easily in between. and when i finally get out of bed in the morning (usually around 11am), i feel hardly rested. *growls*
it's called thinking too much about the future! i keep on thinking about australia, school.. gaah. feeling excited and apprehensive. gosh there's so many things in my small head. studies, tuition fees, lodging, car, friends, him, family, money money money... etc. it's so unnerving.
if i'm going to stay this worried and anxious till i leave, wah. cannot take it lar.
i think i have too much free time. i need to work. but anyway, i'll try to find a job and start work in august. think july's rather packed for me. then hopefully i'll work for 4 months. then i have december free to go over and suss out melbourne!
oh yess, i need to get a laptop. ok shall worry about that later. think i shall write that at the side of my blog so i'll remember.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ytd there was an article in the newspaper about bogus monks. gosh, those "monks" really piss me off.
by right monks aren't supposed to even handle money. they should have a helper(dunno what they call them) with them to handle their money, even for transport. their alms bowl is to collect food only, not money.
i think these fake monks will disappear for a while before coming back now. but if they do come back.. *ROARRRSSS!!*
if i happen to come across one of them while i'm eating, i'll politely call them over, ask them to empty their alms bowl, and clean the bowl for them. then i'll very generously give them my food, and add extra gravy or soup into it(just make it as wet as possible). and if they dare to give me a look that does not show that they are grateful, i'll tell them to get lost before i call the police. URGHHHHHHH. SO ANGRRRYYY.
*slaps all of them*. how dare they spoil the name of the sangha, and abuse people's kindness and generosity?!! *ROARS IN FURY AGAIN*
ok nvm. they will reap what they sow. good luck to them.

irritation
aiyo. it sucks really. about how much personal time he needs.
i mean, yar, girls need their own personal time too of course. but somehow, the amount of private space guys need seem to be able to fill up the universe, which happens to be expanding by the second. sheesh.
let's see how long can i tahan being the sweet, tolerant and understanding one. regarding this issue of course. well, for many other issues, he's the sweet tolerant understanding one. so i shouldn't complain too much HAHAHA.
and the best part? no point if my mind ever decides to play with the idea of changing. 'cause all males are the same. SHEESH.
to best express how i feel, i shall let images do the talking (and this one, is my all time favourite piece):
The Scream by Edvard Munch.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Epilogue(hahahaha):
to be fair, he did tell me to let him know whenever i think he's neglecting me, and he's afraid that he would whenever he goes deep in thought, swimming in his own world. today i'm just more easily irritated, think it's my menses. makes me mental. haha! hey, 4 Ms. Menses Makes Me Mental! ok i'm going nuts lol.
feeling better after ranting it on the blog. i'm quite stupid and easily placated actually, once i saw our photo on his display pic. sheeesh. i'm SO LOUSY. *bangs head*
i'm the biggest chicken backside lar. oh sheesh. :(
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
FINAL Epilogue:
ok to cut the story short, we talked it out, and we are happy again! AHHAHAHA. being together with another person is a skill. oosh. very cheem, very cheem....

Transformers // University woes, half gone! :)
Transformers; More Than Meets The Eye
I watched Transformers on monday, and GOSH, it's GOOD!!
action packed and very, very funny. the image of the indian telephone operator is stuck firmly in my head. the only other show that i've really, really enjoyed in recent times is Shrek 3.
oooh, i love Bumblebee.
ok. just realised that the image in xun's entry is also bumblebee... but heck lar. cuz he's my fav autobot!
this movie was worth my $7, definitely. even if it was $9, still worth it. go catch it, everyone! it's more than meets the eye! ;)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
guess what, everyone? i've gotten an email from Monash today. and it says that i'm offered a place for medicine over there!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! :))
gosh, i'm basking in pure happiness now. or at least when i first read it hahahaha. the official package and offer letter will reach me in 2 weeks time.
so yep, i'm going to call up smu and give up my place. i'm entering monash with the 2008 intake. so i'm going to be very free, especially when all of you guys start school. will look for a job soon.
it's really interesting to see how my emotions changed with time.
when i first saw the email, i was in total disbelief. had to read it a second time before things started sinking in slowly. then i was totally happy. just numb happiness. first thing i did was to fwd to him the email, then i tried to call him(which he didn't pick up :P). then i told my mom who was about to pass me a postcard about the SMU matriculation (she wasn't sure whether to give it to me. she was afraid that i'd be upset on being reminded that i was to enter SMU). she too, very happy, started calling all the relatives who have been bugging my mom about my uni stuff.
after a while, my emotions became less intensive. it became more of numb, with mini outbursts of joy here and there. when reality sank in (i.e: being alone overseas for at least 5 years, having to leave my love ones, being away from him as he'd be in another part of australia, being lonely and scared and having to make new friends in a totally foreign environment with no support, ETC.), i started panicking. my heart thumped faster, i sweat more. and this horrid weather doesn't help.
also, i started worrying that what if the email wasn't true. what if they pang seh me!! ok play me out is a more appropriate term haha. i need the package, to feel it in my hands, to assure me truly.
in between, i decided to research a little bit on the unis, and thats when discontentment started kicking in, cuz according to wiki monash is the 3rd in ranking amongst the australian unis for med, whereas melbourne is the 1st. aiyar, this is purely an ego problem. a very stupid and redundant ego problem. guess it stems from my anxiety on whether monash is good enough, or if she's better than NUS. and when i tried to find photos of the campus, the very few images i found werent very impressive, and i liked the architecture of the university of melbourne better. that didn't help at all. i like pretty buildings. hahahaha.
but now, i guess all the emotions have started to die down. have a little of all in me. and the discontentment part is quite dissolved. i'm very happy. but i'm still feeling a bit anxious about the cultural differences and my ability to adapt. gaaahh. aiyar. nvm. i have loads of time to prep myself for it.
anyway, thank you, everyone! for your support and belief that i can make it (in business or in medicine). i know i've been a real whiny pig throughout the process of applying for unis, and you people were really sweet to tahan, even giving me words of encouragement! thank you so, so much. :)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
lastly, i'd like to leave all of you with this pic:
isn't that so cute?!! gosh, the little girl reminds me of myself when i was a child. this scene happened rather regularly whenever my bros and my cousin tried to steal a kiss from me. oh, those were the days. hahaha.

Inspiration: The Path
The Five Precepts
- 1. Panatipata veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami
- I undertake the precept to refrain from destroying living creatures.
- 2. Adinnadana veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami
- I undertake the precept to refrain from taking that which is not given.
- 3. Kamesu micchacara veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami
- I undertake the precept to refrain from sexual misconduct.
- 4. Musavada veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami
- I undertake the precept to refrain from incorrect speech.
- 5. Suramerayamajja pamadatthana veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami
- I undertake the precept to refrain from intoxicating drinks and drugs which lead to carelessness.
Metta Sutta
This is what should be done
By one who is skilled in goodness,
And who knows the path of peace:
Let them be able and upright,
Straightforward and gentle in speech.
Humble and not conceited,
Contented and easily satisfied.
Unburdened with duties and frugal in their ways.
Peaceful and calm, and wise and skillful,
Not proud and demanding in nature.
Let them not do the slightest thing
That the wise would later reprove.
Wishing: In gladness and in safety,
May all beings be happy.
Whatever living beings there may be;
Whether they are weak or strong, omitting none,
The great or the mighty, medium, short or small,
The seen and the unseen,
Those living near and far away,
Those born and to-be-born,
May all beings be happy!
Let none deceive another,
Or despise any being in any state.
Let none through anger or ill-will
Wish harm upon another.
Even as a mother protects with her life
Her child, her only child,
So with a boundless heart
Should one cherish all living beings:
Radiating kindness over the entire world
Spreading upwards to the skies,
And downwards to the depths;
Outwards and unbounded,
Freed from hatred and ill-will.
Whether standing or walking, seated or lying down
Free from drowsiness,
One should sustain this recollection.
This is said to be the sublime abiding.
By not holding to fixed views,
The pure-hearted one, having clarity of vision,
Being freed from all sense desires,
Is not born again into this world.

sudden inspiration to search on the chants. i broke the 4th precept. sigh. i was aware of it when i did it. now on hindsight i wonder if by speaking the truth, would the repercussions have been less? for sure my guilt would have been much less.
i'm feeling inspired to start practising. maybe i should go poh ern shih more often, not just on saturdays. and use the time to practise, right intention.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Noble Eightfold Path
- Wisdom (paññā)
- 1. Right view
- 2. Right intention
- Ethical conduct (sīla)
- 3. Right speech
- 4. Right action
- 5. Right livelihood
- Mental discipline (samādhi)
- 6. Right effort
- 7. Right mindfulness
- 8. Right concentration
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
may posting this up serve as a reminder to me. remember, remember.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ok i'll reply to tags when i'm less tired. my physical body is unrested.
May all beings be well and happy!

emo me.
image taken from deviant art, by 7th Heaven Creative.
i want to look like that... and feel like that. joy and happiness.
when i think of the separation that is to come... gah. i don't know how am i going to deal with it. logic and rationality are gone from me, only my heart is working, and it's suffering. i know it's to do with labels and clinging, attachment. but knowing what it is doesn't mean i truly understand it.
doesn't help that my mom likes to pretend and act dumb. even though i don't usually admit this, my mom is an important pillar of support for me. now with one pillar gone...
i see one major major problem for the future though. it's the inability to compromise regarding that issue!! BAAH. and it's what i've ALWAYS wanted. as i grow up i begin to understand the weight and responsibility that comes with it, but i still want it! and some things you want, i can't give in. not that i don't want to, but hey, i'm born like this. can't provide that. haha. unless you want me to have an early death!
aiyar, on the big scale, this is considered kachang butih. in other words, very small issue. but aiyar. being a FEMALE, (or being HUI LIN), i just think too much. think too far ahead as well. live in the present moment!!
ok the stupid ssdc site is not working properly. i'm getting super, super irritated and pissed off. bitter icing on the yucky tasting cake. fantastic.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. *screams*

My Sassy Girl / Week's updates / Things to do
i just watched My Sassy Girl. bought the vcd yesterday.
AHHH it's SO SO SO NICE. at first i was like wth, especially for the first half of the movie. but it was quite funny lar. then when the ending came, suddenly everything made sense. and wow, it links back to the beginning, and it's so sweet. *FAINTS*. and as usual, i cried. HAHAHA. but not much! considerably a lot less than usual. well done, hui lin :)!
and the girl's SO PRETTY. the guy's... well. the nerdy type. hahahaha.
i'm hooked onto the soundtrack (I Believe).
what's nice about this movie that it makes you think that it might be a true story. but well, after much research (hahaha this is what happily unemployed people do with their time), this movie is inspired from a true story. so baseline is, it's not real lar.

uni blues
i just got the email from SMU regarding my matriculation.
............. :(
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. this is SO SAD. ok i shouldn't be saying this but AHHHHHHHH. i need to let this out, after weeks of trying to be positive.
i DON'T WANT to go to smu because i don't want to do business! what i really, really want is to do medicine! GAAAHH.
i keep trying to tell myself that i'm crazily lucky to go to smu and to take a double degree! ok let's admit, i'm so unprepared to go there. i mean, i don't even know what am i going to study. i totally have no ideas what kind of modules you have to take, and how many years i have to study for! i don't know how much am i to pay per year. i don't know anything, and everything.
now you know how ready i am to enter smu.
my heart sank when i got the email about the matriculation. so being a bit more concerned about my future, i went to check out the website provided. the more i read, the worse i felt. god, there's going to be a camp. ARGHHHH. this is one of the few times that i don't feel a teeny weeny bit of excitement when it comes to camps. actually, this is the only time! unless my memory failed me once again, which tends to happen rather frequently.
great. and i have to pay thousands of bucks for a course i don't want to take. GAAAHH.
and i have to go for stupid health screenings, go for the matriculation, go for orientation, go for blah blah blah. in summary? things i don't want to go for because i don't want to be there.
ok i'm behaving like a spoilt brat. if you guys are put off by me, especially those who are entering smu, i'm sorry. it's not because i think that being a doctor is much more prestigious than being in business. but it's simply because i WANT to be a doctor. that's what i've always wanted to be. and honestly, i think being in business requires more brains, a lot more interpersonal skills. sure, having good social skills is a plus point in every occupation, but i feel it's more essential in business. if you can't really speak well as a doctor, u wont die, if you can give correct diagnosis and give the correct solution to the problem, you are safe! perhaps you wont be very popular, then just don't go private lar! GAAAAHHH.
*rant rant rant rant rant*
*GRUMBLES*
and i've not gotten any replies from the other 3 aust unis. this sucks. maybe i should be positive, no news is good news! but i need to get on with life. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. whatever, anything.
anything, whatever.
*pulls hair*
for now, i'll just try to pretend that i didn't receive that email. for as long as possible? bwaaah :(.
can't things ever, ever go right?
.....sigh.

my birthday (11 june:)) + photos
b4 i start, i have to announce something. i'm stuck on that stupid gatsby song where takuya kimura looks so ugly and gay(not in the jolly way). and all thanks to veron after she posted it up onto her blog and i couldn't resist listening to it more and more. ughhh.
and oh, i just watched 200 Pounds Beauty on youtube! it's real good! i liked it at least. love the songs. marriaaaaa.........~~~
if you wanna watch, you can go to my playlist, i've it all up there in order. my username's linteoh :).
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ok! let's talk abt my bday! :)
ytd was my bday, it was great. not particularly exciting or anything, but having great company and minor surprises here and there. had a great time :).
went to meet up with my ex-colleagues for lunch.went to thai express at tiong bahru. they drew this really cute "card" for me. courtesy of gil and kaori. can always depend on them for these kind of things. lol. i should scan it and put it up! they also gave me this cute pig that plays music and can move its head. but it has no eyes and mouth. lol.
anyway so lunch was goodie goodie! then i went to vivo and shopped! gosh, bought 3 pieces of clothing there. how exciting.
then met up with him at around 3:15pm, which was earlier then expected. walked around, got me a present and a slice of cake(which i was too full to eat). bummed around and tried to get tix for ocean's 13 in vivo, but timings weren't good. so we went to clarke quay to bum around (hahaha). then we went to plaza sing! managed to get tix for oceans. the show was not bad, but i preferred oceans 12. yet again, ocean's 12 was a bit on the complicated side. guess 13's about simplicity. and i heart george clooney + brad pitt. :)
went to cafe cartel for dinner, gosh they serve such HUGE portions. he sent me home after that.
thanks everyone for the smses, the calls, the tags! really appreciate it :). thanks veron for the call! didn't expect you to call from toronto! and sua too! help me thank your section mates too(that's what they are right?) that's the nice thing about army boys. always happy to join in the birthday wishing hahaha.
oh i got punked by eric heah and sufyan. URGHHHH. those two boys. that was really highly unexpected hahaha. suf made his sis call me (i didn't know who was she then), and she went like "hi, is this hui lin? you have a voice msg for you." and proceeded to play this sound clip of some male singing happy birthday to me. at the end of the song, the guy said " hi hui lin. how are you? hope you've had a great day. do you know who's this? this is me. wuzun. the one and only. as promised. take care." i could hear suf's sis giggle in the background at the end. then she went "thank you!" and put down the phone. WTH.
then later, suf called. he told me that that was his sis. and he asked me to guess who was that guy. i guessed eric (wrong ans) and choon heng (still wrong ans) and then finally aravin (yesss!!). WTH. ARAVIN??? ARAVIN = WUZUN. no no no. this can't be happening....>!!!!
so i was like in shock. luckily The BF was with me then. so yar. damage control done. hahaha. then when i went home, eric called me and told me that suf told him abt it. on hindsight, that makes suf a real big mouth, which he usually isnt. so hmm. ahhaha. then i went online and chatted with suf and eric. i just couldnt believe that aravin's wuzun. yada yada yada. then finally, at the climax (there's always a climax somehow), suf said that eric's wuzun! then eric went "you got punked!" WAAAHHHH. WHAT THE *TOOT*!!!
hahaha. was a really funny thing. i still have the sound clip. i'm so so so amused. and eric was using his accent and trying to sound mysterious and sexy and what not. HAHAHAHA. memorable.
so anyway, that's in summary of my bday! oh, oh, let me post the photos i took!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At Thai Express:
that's rachel looking really excited like a typical auntie who has to light up a candle for her kid's bday cake. hahaha. (gil and kaori, shhhhhhh)
wanna fight?
wheeeee :)!!
"can i blow already??"
*wishes*
the kawaii era. kaori, me, gil. oh look, gil's not wearing her blue shirt :)!
me and auntie rachel and my cake and my present and the rabbit fingers.
"foooooddd...!!" ok i wanted to laugh. gil was laughing, or grinning at least. kaori's THE PRO.
i look like i've something that smells really unpleasant under my nose. or something like that. ok copied that from gil, from harry potter.

update!! first up on.. meditation
YO HUMANS!
i'm back! ok i shld have updated a long time ago but i was too lazy soo... hahaha. first i shall talk about my meditation retreat!
it ended on 6 June. it was tough, especially for me, a first time beginner. whoaa. let me copy and paste the schedule for you (excluding the first and last day)
plus, we had to take the 8 precepts and maintain noble silence (basically no talking), and go vegetarian.
anyway the meditation itself was ok lar.i guess it's a good start, plant a seed, and may it grow.
during the retreat i couldnt really tell if anything was different, but what was really interesting was to see how your perception changed after meditation
1) on the last day, the moment we (parents+me) went into the car to go home and we started talking, we started getting irritated with one another! gosh, noble silence is real important, allows a lot of peace and harmony.
2) when i got home (4pm), i wasn't really hungry? so i drank a cup of milo. and then after that, whatever i ate, i knew it was out of greed. i didn't have to eat dinner. but the more u eat, the more hungry you seem to get. real pure greed. feeds on itself. and your stomach doesn't feel good. so the 6th precept is good!
3) i was watching So You Think You Can Dance. and i felt so so so sad at the end of the show. because the host told the audience to stay tune to the next episode to watch the contestants fight it out. and i was thinking, gosh, this world is so sad! we have programmes that encourage fighting and disharmony. and the best part was there were audience to watch it, and they were cheering so happily about it! people were happy watching others fighting and crying! gosh. and most of our variety shows involve fighting in some way, and the movies we watch tend to have violence and sex and unhappiness. sigh.
4) you get tired very very easily. even though i didn't do much when i got home, i just went to watch tv, i got SO TIRED and SO DRAINED. during the retreat i had to walk around, stay awake and meditate, and no, i was always feeling alert. this world is moving too fast lar. it's too noisy. and you realise there are many redundant distractions around us(like tv)
5) the next day when i wore my contacts, i realised that my eyesight improved!! omg. it's usually blur and i can;t see things clearly, but that day it was super clear and sharp. it's either cuz of the meditation, or cuz of not wearing contacts for 6 days. hahaha
ok those are the main difference that i noticed. of course, i've inducted myself back into the rat race. super not peaceful and restless now. one more thing, i finally feel guilty when i eat meat. hahaha.

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. :)

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 :)!

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.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
HAHAHAA. ok well I was amused. hope you are. wheeee :):):)!!
ok i well one of the reasons why i'm blogging is cuz i got a comment from gil that i ain't updating enough. so yar. i'll reply tags when i'm home or something. laalaaalaaaaaa~~~~~!

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
ok. an update. hahahaha. it's exactly 1am now!
ok i know many ppl are wondering why i havent been updating.. reason is because i've been busy with my rehearsals. out of 7 days this week, 5 days have been used for rehearsals. i'm burnt out. the actual performance is like, next friday? aw man. i'm not prepared. my costumes are more or less ok, but not the props. 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!! :)
