packing luggage..

my luggage is more or less packed.. will pack in whatever that are left out probably in the afternoon.. realised that there are quite a number of things to bring over.. perhaps it seems even more than what i had brought over to philippines.. haha.. the winter jacket, my performing costume, my erhu.. but of course i don't intend to bring my pillow over (like what i had done for the philippines trip.. haha).. it's only a 9-day trip.. =P

time really flies so quickly.. soon i am going away to a far place.. but i am looking more forward to my year-end trip back to philippines.. *grinz*

practice..

today's the last practice before we set off to switzerland next week.. seriously speaking, we only had 3 practices so far before leaving.. quite slack i think.. and worse still there are people who did not turn up for the 3 practices.. manz.. they will be the ones who are going to screw up the performance.. let's wait and see.. bleahz..

anyway quite 'eventful' today.. changed my qian jin (if you happens to know what is it, that is.. haha) and snapped one of the strings.. sheesh.. well.. at least it's better than snapping the strings when we are over there.. haha.. so i changed the string during practice when everyone was going through the songs.. so paiseh..

also 'moisturize' the snake skin on the erhu.. and packed the erhu into the bag, stuffing the bag with cloth and sponge to make it 'shock-proof'.. hehe.. so the next time i see it will be when i m over in switzerland.. haha..

soon i will be "leaving on a jet plane.. don't know when i'll be back again.." nah.. i will be back on the 6th..

a visit back to SNEC..

a visit back to SNEC.. Singapore National Eye Centre.. the most-visited hospital by me.. haha..

first stepped into SNEC during my 2-week job attachment in nov 2002.. i was posted there.. even though it wasn't my first choice, but i m glad that i was posted there.. got to know my mentor Dr Chi Luu, Dr Adrian Koh, Dr Audrey Chia and adeline.. wonderful 2 weeks.. haha.. even got to go into the operating theatre and observed Dr Fong carrying out 3 different operations.. woahaha.. great experience.. especially when i got to play with the stitching equipments.. hehe..

was back there again when Dr Adrian Koh offered me a job there as his assistant during my holidays after A levels.. stayed there for 2 months.. doing simple data entry and analysis.. he's a nice person (that's why i got to slack a bit).. haha.. and i got to have an office room to myself (when he was not around).. haha.. got to meet the 3 musketeers (joseph, paul, kasi) in the photo room where i spent almost 2 weeks copying photos of the patients.. lots of patients by the way..

then i stayed there for another 2 months working in the medical records office after Dr Koh went into private practice.. haha.. he helped me got this job.. =D this was when i really got to know more people.. people from my department, from other departments, the doctors, the nurses, the counter staff.. haha.. labour intensive though..

and so today, after a year, i went back there again with yanhao (was posted there together with me for the job attachment).. to visit Dr Chi and adeline.. as well as to pass him the textbook i helped him buy.. meanwhile popped by to say hi to joseph and paul.. became Dr Chi's assistant temporarily when he was busy with his patients.. haha..

really missed the days when i was back there.. learnt a lot of things during that period of time.. =D

will be going back there again after Dr Chi has shifted to the new office area.. then we will have a private opening ceremony!! yeah.. haha.. suddenly felt like a VIP.. haha..

can i get an award or commendation or something? for being so involved with SNEC?? =D

the farewell gift that me and yanhao got for dr chi at the end of our job attachment..

me, adeline, yan hao and dr chi.. =D

it used to be my work place.. =D

an overseas call..

received a call from my thai friend, gift, this evening.. manz.. she's in australia!! wow.. *getting envious* and she's gonna stay there for a month.. manz.. but she's rich anyway.. hmm..

would wanna go australia for a vacation.. perhaps next time.. when i have the money.. haha..

the great singapore sale is going to start at the end of this month!! haha.. start to gear up.. and chiong for the cheap and nice stuff.. haha.. maybe gift will be interested to come over for another shopping spree.. (she says shopping in singapore is cheaper than in thailand.. but i think otherwise.. haha..)

training shopping-queens-to-be.. =D

a call to philippines..

missed a call from tricia earlier on.. she called around 9pm.. i wasn't in my room.. and as usual my phone was on silent mode.. haa..

so i called back about 40 minutes later.. wow.. great to hear from all of them again!! =D tricia, mama remia, bong, ryan, stephen.. oh gosh.. really missed them alot.. was so excited when i heard their voices.. haha..

they are having their annual youth summer camp right now.. for the entire weekend.. guess they must have been enjoying themselves too.. though i think it also takes alot of hard work and effort to organise such camps.. good luck guys!! may this summer camp be a successful one.. =D

yar.. told them we are doing fine over here, just finished with our exams and starting to enjoy our 3-month break.. haha.. glad to hear that they are doing fine too over there..

asked ryan about his job problem.. sad to hear that he has yet to find a job (since january).. but he's still trying.. and told me to continue smiling.. he's a strong guy, and i really hope that things can go well for him... and that stephen.. haha.. he was crying over the phone.. manz.. so this time round i m the strong gal telling him not to cry.. hehe..

everybody asked me about my plans of going back to philippines in december.. yar.. they are looking forward to it and i can't wait to go back there.. really hope that nothing goes wrong and i can go back to bago city to see them.. =) and i REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that i won't disappoint them.. i've been working hard on my part.. earning and saving money for the trip.. now it's up to whatever god or deities above.. don't give another pile of shit for me to clear up and spoil my plans..

lalala.. now i feel like going shopping again.. oh god..
