Point of Entry

Point of Entry is a Singaporean TV show that I have started watching around 2 months ago and I must say I got addicted to it! Great story line in my opinion and the 2 final episodes were mind blowing!

The downside would probably be that some actors aren't that great but overall it was a good show.

I hope they'll make a second season! 

The World Today

It was 2 pm when my phone rang and I jumped out off my couch where I had somehow fell asleep after lunch. 

Ouchie I was definitely not supposed to be at home at 2 pm but luckily the tutor only came around 3pm. Well anyway this is not about me being late...This is about how crazy the weather has been for the past few days.

One month ago, I would rarely use to a/c and I just can't live without it now.  It only took 1 hour for all my towels to dry while it usually take the whole day! The worse is walking uphill with his heat...I was completely drenched with my own sweat by the time I came back home...Totally insane weather!

And yes, I do not tolerate extremes temperatures very well... My a/c is usually set at 23C! Yes neither can I tolerate very hot weather nor cool/cold weather!

I can't help but wonder how farmers and workers who have to work under the sun are able to tolerate this heat? Besides manual work requires more energy than simply typing a document or attending meetings. And how do people who can't afford fans go about their daily chores?

Lets face it, most of us have access to luxuries in life that are now seen as the norm. The simple fact that you are reading this proves that you have access to a computer and to the internet. While on the other side of the planet, people are dying of hunger, many have no access to clean water while others can't afford medical treatment. Has the human race become selfish that we forgot about our brothers and sisters?

Yes, this blog started about me complaining about the weather but I think before we start to complain, we should give a thought about what we are blessed to have in life and think about those who don't have the chance to enjoy the same luxuries as we do.

Lets all spare a thought and pray for the less fortunate... Let's start making the world a better place!

Lemon as a Perfume

This is a re-post from MySpace..Enjoy! :)

Well I do know that ppl use lemons or oranges to perfume some stuff... Like some ppl put some orange peel on their heater, n a nice smell will diffuse aroud the house... but I've nvr hrd ppl using lemons as body perfume.

Mrs S*, a family member (though I have no idea hw she is related to us) told my mum:

Mrs S: Ayo moi mo pas alle acheter parfum moi.  Deja li cher mem...aster pas koner komier mo bizin acheter par mois...

Mum: Wi li vrai li assez cher mais pena choix

Mrs S: Moi seki mo faire, mo prend limon, mo coupe li en tranches fine ek mo passe lors moi

MySpace!

Lolz, I completely that I had Myspace blog posts!

Well some of the stories are worth to be re-posted indeed.

I do understand that MySpace will not be working anymore *sad face* and that I could transfer my blog to WordPress...Should I?

Hmm I wish it could stay the same as it is now...Ah technology why do you always have to change?

Ayam?!

This cute little girl who was admitted to the pediatric ward looked up at a painting of Tweety on the walls, turned to her mother, pointed to Tweety and said "Ayam"

Ayam??!! (which means chicken in Malay)

I just couldn't stop myself from laughing! Kids these days! Haiz, they only knowHannah Montana or Ben 10! Gone are the days where kids would love Tom & Jerry or Power Rangers or even Sailor Moon!

Now I feel old...

A little OCD

No I do not have any obsessive compulsive disorder (well I hope not) but I always feel the need to stay very organized! (well most of the time)

It drives me crazy when things are not where they are meant to be! I hate having things lying just around in my room with no specific purpose. I mean why should my cup of coffee I had half an hour ago be still sitting on my coffee table? My books need to lay in a special order on my bookshelf, my clock needs to be at an exact position on my table and I hate to have anything being on the table when I am not using it. As a matter of fact, I like to clear all table tops of any objects; I toss them all away in drawers and cabinets. Not only do they attract a lot of dust but they also give the feeling of the room being too clustered; hence the need for them to be placed in drawers!

Next come study materials! Now I am somebody who absolutely needs to write whenever I am studying. If I don’t make small notes, I just simply do not understand what I’m reading! And when I say notes, well they all need to be neat, written in specific colours and follow the same format. It drives me insane if my notes are not organised and honestly, there have been a couple of times where I decided to re-write my notes because I hated the way they looked!

Filing of those notes can drive me mad as well because I absolutely need to classify them all! No way that I’m leaving them unclassified! I mean it’s ridiculous to make notes and not classify them…how would you be able to find them back otherwise, isn’t it?

I might sound a little bit crazy here but hehe really I am not. I’m just a normal girl errm young lady who enjoys being in a clean and tidy environment. Well beware though, my room can look like a war zone when I’m too busy to clean it up!

Writing Thoughts Down

It’s amazing, fantastic how ridiculous I can be!

My mind is always full of thoughts and they flow very smoothly for very long period of times. Even when I need to sleep, I find it hard to put a stop to my thinking mind!

But when it is time to write and put my thoughts on paper (well I mean Microsoft Word), the words escape me…they just seem to grow legs and run away…and sadly enough, they never come back.

Any solutions? Sure I’ve thought to myself that the next time I have a great idea for my blog post, I’m going to grab the closest piece of paper and start writing away! Well I did…I drafted 3 posts actually, and it was amazing how fast I could write…my hands were not fast enough to capture all my thoughts and at the end of the day I was left with a piece of paper smeared in a weird handwriting that I couldn’t decipher!

How did this post started? Well I have been planning to write my experiences about my paediatric rotation on my other blog but I couldn’t move past the second paragraph and that was indeed very frustrating! I thought of the whole thing, planned it in my head and when it was time to write it…blank!

Another solution that I’m going to try is to randomly come and let my mind flow and we’ll see I can write something that can make some sense!

No more planning or too much of thinking! Time to get down to work :)

I like this picture! It looks cozy and girly :)

Being Sick

It's Monday afternoon, and I am still sick.

I went to the GP this morning (I had to wait 3 hours to be seen by the doctor!) and he gave me some antibiotics; ciprofloxacin to be exact, which is broad spectrum antibiotic and acts on a wide range of gram positive and negative microorganisms. Well according to the information I obtained from the FDA website, ciprofloxacin is not usually used for URTI and even if used for LRTI, it is not a medication of first choice. Hmm I should probably ask him why he prescribed it to me the next time I see him.

Ah anyway, look at the nerdy person talking! Well I am bored and I've been in my bed since Friday and honestly I've had enough of this forced holiday! I feel quite better today so I'm going back to school tomorrow (don't worry I'll wear a mask)

By the time I came back home from the GP's clinic, it was around 1.50pm. I did my laundry, had lunch, watched TV, swept the floor and washed the dishes! Yay, all of that in 2 hours! Talking about house chores, I really wish I could be able to mop my place but given the circumstances, it would be totally unwise to do so! I shall wait until the weekend (4 days only) to do so.

Lalala I am bo-o-red!

Well I'm off to do something more productive now, like completing my modules that I need to submit before the end of the week! Wish me good luck!

I hate being sick!

Yes errr...who ever likes to be sick anyway?
Definitely not me! I'm probably the worst patient ever with a very low pain threshold.

It all started on Tuesday night with generalised body aches, followed by an acutely very very painful sore throat (yes sore means painful but I'm using two words to describe how painful it was), fever and runny nose...Ah yes, it's indeed influenza! urgh

Home remedies did NOT work this time! So far, lemon and honey in hot water used to help a lot but alas, this was not the case this time!
Even warm salt water gargling had no effect...

So I should conclude that the virus is pretty nasty!

Yeap I should stop complaining...It's not as if it's the end of the world! It's just a simple flu

That being said, I still hate being sick

Music in the Night

12.40 am!

It’s past my bedtime (kidding) but here I am reading random blogs and listening to the radio.  A song by Good Charlotte came up on radio and I was suddenly overwhelmed by a feeling of nostalgia.

Strangely, ever since I have come abroad for studies, songs have been a huge part of my life and each song relates to a part of my life. Often while listening to a song, I would remember the nights when I used to listen to that particular song.

Good charlotte! Yes I remember, I was at that time 19 years old, staying in the hostel.  My roommate was actually the one who gave me a Good Charlotte’s CD and I copied the songs on my PC and I used to listen to that repeatedly. Those were the good times…

'Hey there delilah' always reminds me of how I went down to eat one night and there was a group of people playing the guitar and singing that particular song.

Cupid's chokehold! How I hated that song and how a friend of mine used to sing it just to annoy me!

T-shirt...I listened to that song almost every night for a whole month in 3rd year until I was sick of it!

Bad romance and Alehandro! Haha I remember the jokes and the laughs whenever these were playing on the radio last year. Great happy moments :)

And the list goes on...

My dad always remembers how old he was when he hears an ‘old’ song on the radio, and I often used to wonder how he could remember the year a song came out! Well, I understand now 

Lazy Sunday Morning

‘Briing Driiiing Lalala’

‘What the heck is this noise’ do I ask myself.

‘Oh yes, it’s the alarm clock! Time to get up!’

I slowly open my eyes, reach for my phone and turn it off

Hurray I’m up at 7.15 am on a Sunday! Proud of myself I jump out of bed and make my way to my other clock on my desk to switch off the other alarm.

I draw the curtains open and open the balcony door…What a great day it’s going to be I tell myself and I make my way to the bed…

Next thing I know, it’s 9.45 am! Yes I fell asleep again! 

Bangles!

Lol yes I bought bangles for quite cheap actually!

They are shiny and nice...Just the type I've been wanting for a while and they can dress up any plain black or white T-shirt. Here's a picture:

I think they're just lovely! =)
