Did I mention her laptop bag = Gucci? And don't get me started on her wallet..
Hopefully I get her something for Christmas and she does the same.. hinthintcoughcough.
Anyway, if I haven't blogged, that must mean I'm doing okay right?
RIGHT?

But speaking of getting things, I got Noel something for his birthday this year! It's not much, but I hope I get it done by then. いいよね，ノエル～？

Oh god.I expected some form of blood in this job line, but I didn't expect this.
Come on, you ask someone with haematophobia to witness the removal of an IUCD (Intrauterine Contraceptive Device; biology lessons still are fresh in my mind)? You have to be kidding me. ._.
As I walked out of the clinic's operating theatre to get the patient a plastic bag in case she was going to throw up, Esther and Margaret asked if I was okay, because they both said my face was absolutely pale.
Well DUH! When I was walking out I was already on the verge of fainting, my eyesight was cut into half, like someone put a veil over my head. I remember fainting like this - losing sight and blacking out, before becoming unconscious and passing out.
Thankfully, I didn't pass out as I swore I'd finish this without wimping out on my doctor. I just had a hard time trying to calm her as she felt pains while the doctor was pulling for the thread attached to the IUCD.
It was an experience to remember (albeit traumatised, still) definitely. For the past 3 days, I've learnt how to prepare medicine, vaccinations, and operations. And I'm not even a fully qualified nurse, but I'll get used to it, says Esther anyway. She's a fully-trained nurse, and has like 10 years of experience.
The funny thing at the operation today was that the patient was put on a controlled drug - something like Morphine, but I forgot the name. It was used as a local anaesthetic to put her to sleep while the operation was in process, and I actually witnessed how fast the drug's effect was.
The patient was like "I'll see who's stronger, your medicine, or me."
While she continued talking, her words started to get muffled and vague, and eventually she was blabbering, literally. XD None of it made sense, since it was gibberish as the drug started to affect her jaw muscles and the rest of the body.
In under a minute of the patient having the injection, she fell into a deep sleep. I couldn't stop laughing with Dr Chong, but she said that it always happened, unless the person happened to be strong against these kinds of things, like being a very strong drinker or take plenty of sleeping pills.
But apart from that, the rest of the operation was really a scare. I'm just glad she's better now. :D
Ehhhhhhhh KAILI! I get to share nursing experience with yooooooooooooou~! <3
I can't wait to meet the gang again someday.

2nd day didn't turn out any better either. I was on the brink of tears. I hate it when she keeps pressuring and accusing me of things.Don't worry, it's not my doctor that's being mean, she's the kindest and most patient with me since I keep forgetting things. I just hate that other woman for blaming me for everything.I'd rather be hit or insulted, but I hate being accused more than anything else.
I thought watching a movie would cheer me up, but as I realise tomorrow's another day.. My heart just sank. ):
I want to be free.
But the doctor has done nothing wrong to me. In fact, I owe her an eternity for her gratitude and patience with me. She is a wonderful gynaecologist that would go out of her way for her patients, staff and colleagues.
My parents and auntie Jennifer are people I owe as well, without auntie Jennifer's recommendation, I would've never gotten it. I am also in debt of my parents. As much as I want to be free, there is no escaping this. There is no way anyone can convince them otherwise either, even if they see this.
Even though people might tell me "talk to them, they might understand", they do not see the fact that they're my parents, and my parents never understand. No matter how you tell them, they'll believe that they're way of doing things is right. They are NOT open-minded to opinions of how they should teach their children.
My parents believe in doing things in the present, and do not really see into the future as the only thing for them in the future is older age, and not what we see because what they dreamed of as children were never fulfiled, and are thought to stick to the harshest reality. By living the only way possible - fight even though you don't like it. Don't work for something that's far away.
On the contrary, I am quite the opposite.
To me, perfection comes slowly. Nothing is impossible, just really really difficult. If I were to do quantum science at the age of 12, that isn't impossible, it's just really difficult. If I wanted to do it, I'm pretty damn sure I would give it a try and keep going until I got it.
Forcing someone to do or study something against their own will never has results.
I don't know why my parents STILL don't see that.
I wanted to go into BPGHS. I didn't come off too badly because I was given the chance to study in a school I wanted to go to, instead of him shoving me to "just another neighbourhood school" just to be in the Express stream.
I have no qualms into coming into a Normal Academic stream - I still get to take O levels, and come out prim and proper and have really good friends.
I highly doubt I would've gotten the same results (in a good way) if I went to another school just to be in the Express stream. I probably would've taken up smoking, talk in sentences with Hokkien vulgarities placed here and there, and just to be sure you get my drift, I would be Mandarin-proficient instead. (DUN DUN DUN.)
If any random people happen to chance upon this and you happen to be a parent, don't destroy your child's future. Let them live their dream, help them and you know anything can be done - one step at a time.

First day was bad, sigh.I just hope she makes the right choice and decides to NOT hire me, for the love God x_x I'm not cut out for gynaecology, it involves just too much damn blood for me to handle.
And I get waaaaaay too nervous.
Can I keep this up for 2 years? I can't even answer my own question. ):

Omg, sneeze fits are killing me. At least they're getting better compared to last week. Finally, no more one-week-chiong fairs. I'm going to normal office hours as a.. nurse..
LOL I still can't get over the fact that I'll be considered a nurse assistant thing. It's just so not me, but I'm really psyched for the job. Hopefully my fear of blood wanes off during this.
Speaking of blood.. I had a horrible night's sleep.
Disclaimer: The following article is self-rated PG-13. May contain blood and verbal violence; viewer discretion is advised.
I woke up coughing, and even though it was dark, I could see my tissue paper being stained a dark colour. Please lah, since when did mucus become black at night? I turned on the light, and to my horror, what looked like a long vein covered in blood was on the piece of tissue.
Then, I sniffled and blew my nose, and saw even more blood.
Naturally, I freaked out.
"Omg. Blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood"
I paced around my room for like 5 minutes before I decided to wake my mum up and have her assess the situation.
My hands were shaking as I took toilet paper and started to apply pressure to the blood-leaking nose while she told me that would just make it bleed some more and that I should use a little bucket of iced water and a towel dipped in it to put over my forehead while leaning back.
I haven't had a nosebleed since I was 6 or 8, of course it freaked me out. And all I had were Ruffles (oops) and Cadbury (again, oops). ):
I was told that tilting the head back could be fatal, and the proper way to handle a nosebleed was to apply pressure, and tilt the head forward while sitting or standing upright.
But it was like 3 fucking am in the morning, I wasn't going to wait for it to clot and stop, so I just listened to good old-fashioned advice and went back to sleep.
Moral of the story: Sleep is good.

Overbearing Mandarin accents kill me.Ni yao qu na-rrr?
Screw you okay.
And just cause I don't understand 90% of what you're saying doesn't mean you have to try and use English that is just as incomprehensible.
Wha' is thiz "kom-beh" cotton? "Kom-beh"..
COMBED LA, NAHBEI!
And 5 out of 10 times, I see the ladies (no offense for stereotyping) with guy that's probably old enough to be her dad.
First, you take away eligible gentlemen from us (not that that really matters for me).
Second, you take away our own scholarships and call us lazy for losing it to you (not that that matters to me, either).
Third, you use those scholarships and after graduation, take our jobs and deem us useless while you boss us around.
Lastly, you dare butcher the English language?
First I can lun.
Second I close one eye.
Third I close both, but peek a bit (while cringing).
But the fourth is the last straw. If you want to do it, at least do it right. >:|
But I know that even though my English isn't top-notch, it just hurts whenever it's obviously wrong for the worst reasons. D:
And all who have felt insulted at reading this:
1) You are one of them,
2) You are in denial,
3) You need to go out and breathe a little life,
4) I provide sense of humours for SGD9.95/hr,
5) All of the above,
6) I lol @ u.
I hate Mandarin, but apparently French hates Corey. That goose has taken Francais lessons before, but seems he's no romantic boon since he's forgotten every lesson.
Korii says:
Alot of people go to France to visit sites and stuff. But most don't even bother to learn any part of the language. Or they do a really crappy job at it. And it pisses the French off so much.

Hokay. I got the job as a gynaecologist's assistant. Yes, that means I get to be a nurse...... HAHAHAHA.
Gloria? NURSE??
I'm me and I don't believe myself. Thank goodness I don't have to blind people by wearing a uniform since it's a clinic at Mount Elizabeth.
My current manager was like "waah, hooked big fish sia!"
I laughed, because it wasn't really like her to be that cute. My manager is scary to some people (those that have actually tasted her fury before), but she's generally friendly to me, so long as I don't screw up whatever she asks of me.
The interview was alright, but I felt like this was going to be something I'd like to learn. Medicine = Science? Hey, why the hell not. (:
Getting 1k a month for the first three months, then 1.2k for the subsequent months after.
Helloooooooo NAFA, here I come. :D
And since I'm feeling good now, I'll take my dearest cousin to watch Harry Potter as I promised. And I'll pay. ;3 THEN I buy my own stuff, and - Splurge. Every. Month.

Yin, you're a sister-in-crime as well. I would never forget you or any of our dearest friends, we know each other like real family.
I feel so bad for not being able to show up to even welcome Isaac back.. but I don't think I'll be able to make it at all, considering my work shifts tend to end at 10pm. But I swear if I am able to make it, I will rush there on a cab no matter what. I miss everyone a lot.
It may seem like I'm avoiding everyone right now, but I am not. I just want to finish clearing up some stuff before I can move on.

Yeah.. You guys know me for being a kpo and always wanting to support conservation stuff like The Body Shop for it's policy against animal testing, SPCA for cruelty against animals, ONE for poverty, and now, it's time for Live Earth, an act to try and bring people around the world together to show that global warming is happening, and it isn't something the scientists make up just to "scare little kids".Let's face it - it's been getting scorching hot these days, and you know it. Sure, it's great for a tan, but don't whine when it becomes overbearing. Pretty sure as hell no one can do a thing.
So you're thinking "What the fuck do you think you can achieve by playing songs and holding a concert for 24 hours straight? That doesn't fucking make people aware of global warming", right?
Wrong.
Live Earth is to be the launch event for the Live Earth Call to Action, where during the concerts people will be asked to support the 7-point pledge. Not gonna name them here, it'd be too long ._.
This concert would mark 'the beginning of a three year campaign worldwide to deliver information about how we solve the climate crisis' and that 'the prospects for every future generation depend on us understanding, hearing and acting upon this information.'
Alright, stars like Pharrel Williams, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fall Out Boy, Xzibit, Bonnie Pink, Snoop Dogg, Metallica, and even Chris Rock will be attending to promote that, now how can you go wrong?

Ah, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, scheduled to be released globally in English-speaking countries on 21st July 2007. My sister claims she is going to sit at Borders and read it. (I still say it's a dumb idea because the staff would kick her ass for people that want to actually BUY it. When she comes home scowling I'll refrain from saying "Itoldyouso" until later. :D)Anyway. I hope it doesn't become a disappointing movie with the Order of the Phoenix. As much as Richard Harris > Michael Gambon's acting as Dumbledore, no one can stop the late Harris from being taken over. How we all miss him though.
But still, anyone realised that..
.. KATIE LEUNG (Cho Chang) STILL ISN'T AS GOOD AS BRENDA SONG?!?
I don't know... Maybe because they didn't want that character to overshadow Emma Watson. *Shrug*
I'm such an annoying critic today huh? I tend to be all full of praises.
But it's definitely going to be worth a watch, considering it was one of the best books for me. Besides, the twins get to kick some ass! Oliver and James Phleps for the fucking win. <3
Sucks that I'll be working during the preview though. After that, I'll probably drag my cousins to watch with me, as I always have for the past 4 movies. XD

Went to Suntec's NYDC on Monday to celebrate Vince's birthday. I owe him one since I was working on 29th, 30th, and had to go out with grandparents on the 1st.
I missed NYDC laaaaa. Mudpies <3 Since he was 18 already I decided to let him have the Irish Cream one, heh. It wasn't that liquorish but it was daaaamn good. It totalled up to about a hundred bucks, which was shared among Celest, Xi Ning and me.
I'd post pictures but my phone is being a little nahbei-ish to me. :<
Oh oh, while we were walking from Citylink to City Hall MRT Interchange, we heard some crazy screaming. Celest and XN decided to check it out, walking slightly faster and going ahead of me and Vince. When they saw it was a crazy drunk dude, they slowed down and headed back to us.
The dude was completely drunk, and still had a bottle in hand. I told them not to look at him to attract his attention, and they quickened their pace. Keeping to the left while he was walking in the middle, he suddenly turned and walked towards us, waving the bottle while spreading his arms to stop my cousins from moving forward.
They quickly side-stepped and moved far away from the drunkard, leaving me and Vince - but I was too busy staring at the bottle and thinking what would happen if he decided to hurt any of them, I didn't notice that Vince moved aside faster than I did, leaving me rooted and now afraid.
Decided to quickly bolt away before he went berserk on us. x_x
Was fun though, I haven't had a cousin outing in a long time. I could only wish for a friends' meeting soon. =/
