Track and Field

Each time l watch atheletes on T&F, it never fail to touch my heart, moved by their determination and endurance for either the medals or simply just to complete the race for the spirit of sportmanship! Never did l expect there could still be chance to be part of it one day...

Its such a thrilling experience to race and
to receive and pass on the peton from runner to runner, to cheer, to clap, and to shout.. Hmmm, really didnt expect would go home with a medal, which initially just went for the fun of it.. :D

Orientation Week

First day of Orientaion
Before entering into the Auditorium, had a short prayer on the way in the hospital shuttle to make new friends and a perhaps a good friend.. After the 1st break, talked to the girl who's sitting beside me and found out not only we're from the same department doing research (but diff offices and project teams), we both joined on May28th, she stays in Wdld area (but currently put up at Clementi), studied at NZ previously and we both like carrot juice and listen to MP3! Wow, isnt God amazing!Hope to build friendship with her.. :D

Phew, quite a long and heavy day.. Abit infomation overload..

After work, went to Bishan for a home assignment from an ex-pt and finished the 2 procedures at ard 2030..

African food adventure

Its indeed a convicting sermon by John on the Whole Truth and the Whole Way.. l wouldnt have paid much attention on the 2 characters whom Jesus met on that fateful day.. The bleeding woman who by faith touched Jesus and after being confronted and confessed the whole truth, as a result was completely healed.. As for Jairus, whom l wouldnt be paying much attention to at all until John gave a very comical yet convicting lesson on, was truly a character who we should learn from.. Despite the interruption, he was patient to wait for Jesus.. Despite being told of the fact that his daughter was deadand, he was still focus and had faith that Jesus has the power to perform a miracle. And, their faith's paid off!

After service, went for our African food lunch nearby Mustafa Centre. We ordered Suji(made of potatoes and flour boiled together), a plate of rice and 2 plates of chiken in different gravies. The Africans use hand, roll it into an oval-shape and dip it with gravy and eat. But we, use spoon and folk, ha!The stewy chic with ladies fingers taste kinda odd and too starchy, but the one with redish gravy (tomato+onion+chili) yummy! The African rice too rough for your Chinese taste bud.

Note: the 'Anything' drink is not part of an authentic African cuisine.

My first cookies!

Today got an assignment at W10. First time there and was impressed by the suite rooms which look more like a hotel than a hospital! Was even more surprised to have another part-timer when the ward is so quiet and relaxed. Like what she said, it's so 'sin-lang' (senang). Dont really like it tho, as the time passed like a snail.


Reached home at 2230. Immediately, started on my debut cookies baking! Have always wanted to learn baking, now finally get to do it myself.. So excited! :D

Half of 2007 Gone, or 2007 Left?!

Gosh! Its already June 1st, 2007!! Half of 2007's already passed! Looking back, the past 1/2 year's like another life just ended.. So much ups and downs, so much emotions and struggles.. Looking ahead, so many things l wanna do and experience.. Simple things that l've taken for granted till l lost it, becomes so precious..

So happy today when had an early off from work, that wanted to shout it out loud that "TGIF", which l have not done so for the past 2 years.. :)

The Bible Study with a young girl from China rekindles the spirit to wanting to do my QT and to pray more to God more diligently again.. At bad times, rely on God; at good times, not to forget God..

For the rest of 2007, so many plans, so many things wanna do.. Creating memories for the rest of 2007! :D

Vesak Day

Supposed to attend a picnic at West Coast Park, but woke up with both the feet still aching and slightly swollen and stiff.. Stayed home instead to let it rest..

Afternoon, cleaned up the bike and pumped up both the flat tyres. It has been covered with dust for the past 2 years, untouched.. Looking forward to feeling the breeze again riding...

Evening, after msn-ing with sis for abt 3 hours, felf an urge for a run! As feet's better after whole day resting, went downstairs and ran for 2 rounds. Hmmm, stamina's so bad now.. probably after the hospitalisation, have stopped exercising for too long.. Gotta start training up again!

As seen on TV!

Drama 1st Day..

Not sure if its the hot weather or 'unconciously' nervous, didnt sleep much the night before.. Was wide awake at 12mn, 1am, 3am, 5 am and woke up at 7am.. Nonetheless, was feeling good and excited for the new 'office work' day, hahaa..!

Drama started to happen when the colleague whom l was asked to meet at the hospital foyer didnt turn up despite after sms and calls! Oh, the manager overlooked that she's on 1-wk leave! Then, brought to HR by another staff, but the HR incharge of my profile took an emergency leave.. Then, at the 4F office, all the workstations ve been filled up with 2 internship students, so temporarily stationed at 6F.. Later found out l'm the only one not under NUS but NUH! Why, why?? Ok.. it's an strategic move for the project team.. But, not so upbeat about that though...

May 16-25: Sabah Time

Its

IELTS (1/2)

PartI: Listening, Reading and Writing, EDB Learning Centre @9am. Took a cab down from Outram Park, and arrived @0830. A long line of exam candidates waiting for registration, mostly young Chinese students, Philipines, Indonesians and a few Europeans..

Not too bad, managed to finish everything on time. Great! Result will arrive at our mailbox on 25th, when l came back from home! Beautiful..

Phantom of the Opera

Have always wanted to watch.. Last year at London West End, gave in to sis's request to watch the Les Miserable instead.. Waited and waited, finally here to Spore Esplanade Theatre..

Oh, love the performance, the musics, the amazing theatre design etc etc..

Note: Circle3 at 4F too high up, cant see the performers facial expressions clearly

A Farewell...

Though ytd was excited and looking forward to today, yet is receiving today with a mixed feeling of excitement and sadness... Excited of the starting of a new begining; Sad of leaving this place which l had lotsa drastic ups and drastic downs, and a team of 'comrades' which l had the priviledge to work with... Yes, its indeed the work stress that not only raised our voice, our blood pressure, also our defensiveness.. The power of context changed one's behavior against her will, her nature and her intention.. But work aside, you all are a bunch of lovable and respectable angels! l salute you!

Thanks for the heart-warming farewell, esp for those who came from yr off day.. So touched..

Discharge!

Doc came, asked if wanted to go home.. Yes, though going to miss the yummy Western meals ordered for today, ha..

May Day... May Day... !!

3am: awaken by terribly uncomfortable indigestion which followed by bouts of vomitting and diarrhea.. By 9am, was feeling so weak and knowing myself already went into dehydration! 10am, tried to take some fruit juice and able to reatin, thought should be able to report for afternoon shift.. On the way out thinking to iron up my uniform, suddenly had a fainting spell and cold sweat! Quickly went back to room and lie down.. Had a shock that both the hands started to stiffen up and aches and numbness radiates from upper body to the face and down to lower limbs! What freaked me out even more is airway went into spasm causing difficulty in breathing!!
