I love flowers.
I love spontaneity, and pleasant surprises.
I'm dainty and ambitious; really.
I nurse others.
There's more than meets the eye when it comes to me.

Out with Taz.

Out of Control.


I went to town today with Taz. It was great but tiring as well. I've got blisters on my feet.


So anyway, we went to Eastpoint first to return books. Walked around to check out the beauty salons. None appealed to me plus they were expensive beyond reason. Ate at Burger King which was oh-so-inexpensive and talked loads of deep stuff and our dreams for our future.


Then we headed to town, walked and shopped at Far East Plaza. That's where I found the perfect beauty salon. Inexpensive yet stylish. I got my hair done there. I'm very glad with the result. So does Taz. She said it looked wild. She's jealous. But really, my hair looked quite awesome.


Next we went shopping. And suddenly, there, out of nowhere, I saw this yellow top with cool designs on it, which I totally fell for. I had to get it. Asked the sales person (who's very nice) for it and she showed me the rack with the top of different colours. Then I was like, forget about yellow, I'll take white. And the design was in dark pink. God, it looked gorgeous! I tried it on and fell in love with myself. Hahah! I'm such a.. I don't know. I love the neckline. Showed my new necklace perfectly. I saw it pretty elegant. Taz tried the same top but of a different colour and another top. She chose the latter.


Then off we went to meet Taz's friend from MI (my 3 months school) to go to this event that her school conducted. We were almost lost. We walked a lot! I thought we were going to the center of the earth or something. My heels were killing me. But we made it to Tanglin Mall where the event were. There were lots of stuff on sale. But they were all 2nd hand stuff so I wasn't really into them. Saw a few familiar faces from my time in MI during the 1st three months. I was looking out for Sharifah but didn't see her. Damn! It was such a shame. Miss her loads!


Then we went to 7Eleven to buy a drink. The weather was freakin' hot! But I didn't enjoy my Vanilla Coke much cuz the stupid machine ran out of ice. So my drink weren't cold and cooling but I finished it anyway. Taz, who got a Coke, didn't enjoy her drink either but unlike me, she threw it away.


I saw a lot of people. I even saw a celebrity. Not really popular but whatever. Then we saw another quite popular face but I forgot who it was. Ri-ight. Anyway, we went home by train which was crowded. We just stood near the entrance/exit. After a while there were fewer people but there were still no seats so we sat on the floor which was relatively clean. In fact, it's very clean. Then at one stop, this group of guys boarded the train and straight away saw us. We stood out cuz we were the only ones sitting on the floor. Stuff happened. They went off and were purposely delaying. They were waiting for the train to move so they could see us. I was like, what the hell. Taz waved, they waved back. They weren't even cute.


But this doesn't mean I didn't see cute guys. I saw LOADS!! Mostly the ones that i kept pointing out and exclaiming they're cute were caucasean guys. Some were hot, others were cute. And those blue eyes.. sigh.. Saw really tall ones with awesome built. Wow.

Contact lenses.

They suddenly seem bigger.


Went to collect my contact lenses today. The lady taught me how to put it on.


-My eyes kept blinking like crazy.
-I touched my eye balls.
-I teared. Not cry.
-I kept sniffing. Ugh.


In the evening, took it out. Almost died. The weather's so hot and I was frustrated everytime I couldn't take the lens out. Especially the left eye.


I need a hair trim.

Real-life Heroes.

Standing ovation to the real-life superheroes. Yayy!!


Watched Oprah Winfrey show today. Today it was about Real-Life Superheroes. One of the stories was about this stranger who saved a boy from a pit bull attack. Stupid dogs. They are really violent and vicious. They killed a neighbourhood dog before. I read something from the net about this story and someone was really mad that he/she said The dogs are still breathing because...? Anyway, here's how the story goes.


Kathleen was on her way to work when she saw 7-year-old Joshua being chased by two pit bulls. Without thinking twice, Kathleen jumped out of her car and ran towards Joshua to help him. Kathleen tried to scare the dogs off, but they would not stop attacking Joshua. Kathleen threw herself over the bleeding and screaming little boy using her body as a shield. "This was a child, a little tiny boy screaming for help," Kathleen says. "I didn't have a choice in the matter. I just did what was needed."


When the paramedics arrived, Kathleen's left eyebrow had been detached from the skull and she had multiple teeth marks on her arms and on her back. Joshua's ear was almost completely torn off. He also had bite wounds by his scalp, on his hand and on his arm.


So they were invited to the Oprah show. Joshua came in later with a bouquet of flowers for Kathleen. "Thank you for saving my life," Joshua says to Kathleen. He had tears in his eyes! He was crying and sobbing softly. He's SO cute!! Everyone in the studio cried. I did too. Damn if it wasn't the most touching thing I've ever saw.


Kathleen says now she carries a small baseball bat in her car so the next time someone needs help, she'll be better prepared.




That's him! Cute right!! Kathleen you rock!!


Ta gra agam ort, James.

hate this.

I don't know if i can trust you.


You only respect me. Nothing else? What you write nowadays just make me feel so down. Even if I had a great and wonderful day but when i read whatever you write nowadays, it's enough to bring my feelings into a full 180 degree turn. I hate the feeling of jealousy. I hate it! I wish there isn't such a feeling.


And the problems you tell me. Man..


I find it difficult to trust you. I wish you'd tell me the whole truth and nothing but the truth and let me get on with my life.

Doctor visit.

You're Almost Here.


Last Wednesday I went to the doctors for a medical check-up. It was the worst visit to the doctor. Ever.


Firstly, I had to do something super embarrassing. It was the ultimate embarrassment of that day. No, I'm not gonna tell you what (said in an incredulous tone)!


Secondly, the nurse at the counter told me I'm gonna have a blood test and an X-ray. My heart skipped several beats and I swear blood drained from my face. 'Blood test?!' I practically yelled. My brain was frozen with disbelief. When it finally de-freeze, it went, 'What blood test? I don't see any Blood Test To Be Conducted on the form. They never said anything about blood test!' It went on panic mode. But then, I calmed myself and thought, 'Maybe they were wrong. Maybe they don't need my blood. Maybe there's another way to test my blood.' So I sat for quite sometime and it was finally my turn.


It was a female doctor. She's friendly. However, she confirmed the horrific thought I had before about testing my blood. I think blood drained from my face again. I asked her, 'Blood test. You mean you have to poke me with a needle into my arm and draw blood?' Ok so I didn't really said all this. I kind of couldn't speak and I made gestures and said single words by single words, like, 'Needle? Here? Blood?', pointing to the inner side of my elbow. The horror. I guess the doctor realized that I was panicking and figured I was afraid of needles poking into me. She talked and talked and calmed me down and said I shouldn't be afraid of all this if I were to become a nurse. In my mind, I went, 'At least I won't be poking myself with the bluidy needles!!' I would have told the doctor that but the cat got my tongue. While she did all the other check-ups on me, I kept thinking about my upcoming doom. I became all paranoid like thinking 'What if the needle breaks while it's in my vein?! What if there isn't enough blood?!' God, I am such a wuss!


So I had the injection. It was quite painful. Especially when it's drawing the blood. It took forever. At that moment, I thought it took longer than forever. All the while the doctor did the whole thing, I was looking elsewhere. Anywhere but my arm. Not even in front of me cuz I know I'd be able to see it at the corner of my eye. So i looked at the opposite direction. I couldn't remember anything that i saw in that room during that time.


When it's over, my arm throbbed. And the thought of the blood made me dizzy and I thought I'd pass out. When I went out of the doctor's office, I caught this girl's eye. I think I had my expression in a grimace.


Went to the X-ray place next. Got a little bit paranoid and suspicious but it went well. 'Twas a breeze.


Then we went to the bank to settle all the financial stuff. After that, we went to this Optical shop. And we ordered new contact lenses. Can't wait. I was suppose to have an appointment with the lady on Monday but I'll be having school. So it has to be postponed.


The next day, I went to school to hand up all the forms. It was very efficient. At the end of the day, I realized I'd registered for two camps. I'd already known I'd have a camp to attend the minute I stepped into the auditorium cuz this guy told me so. I would have never registered for another camp but somehow, I forgot about the first camp and got lured by this guy to attend another camp. So in the end, I'd have to spend 7 days 6 nights in total, away from home. Not that i'm complaining. I'll never complain about THAT. It's just.. camping in school and doing activities with loads of strangers (which I know I'll make friends with eventually. but still..)? Aww man.. It'd better be fun and awesome and they'd better give me at least 15 minutes of shower time and they'd better have a comfortable place for me to sleep. Ok maybe the sleeping arrangements is not really important (I don't mind sleeping under the stars but do provide some sort of mats. I am not going to wake up with bugs crawling over me.) but the fun part and the shower time part, they'd better accomodate me. What if they don't, you ask? I guess I just have to live with it.


Good Luck to me.

Crazy about you.

I'm Crazy About You Too!


It's SYF already? Well I just found that out after reading Nat's blog. God, I'm so behind.


So anyway, got my package from the poly yesterday. Wow. There's a lot to read and, like, a whole booklet of forms to fill up. And since I got into Nursing, I have to go for this medical examination. I'm going to be examined. There's going to be this Urine Analysis. Yech!! And they're gonna test my vision, whether I'm colour blind or not. Which I don't think I am. No I'm not. And it's gonna be my first time to get an X-ray. Of my chest. I hope I won't swoon at the sight of.. um.. things in my body. And Hepatitis B Screening. How are they going to do that? They're gonna check my blood pressure too. It could be high, my diet, you know. Or it could be low. No exercise?


Anyway, I've been reading. Read Nadia Knows Best. Which is like so sweet and funny. And the character having my name is like so.. weird and cool at times. Felt familiar, with people calling her 'Nad' which is what most of my friends call me too. And there's also something so coincidental.


Here's an excerpt (only a few would know why):


She knew his name now. Jay Tiernan. He'd introduced himself while she'd been struggling to extricate herself from the sleeping bag. In return she'd asked, 'What does J stand for?'


'Nothing. It's just Jay.'


Hmm, a likely story. It was probably short for something embarrassing like Jethro or Jasper. Or Josephine.


Then again, Nadia could sympathise. School sports days had always been a mortifying experience, with dozens of sniggering boys lined up roaring, 'Go, Nad... GONAD... GO, GO, GO!'



Hahah


And I read The Royal Treatment by Mary Janice Davidson. Girls, you just have to read the book. It's fuckin' hilarious. I laughed out loud so much while reading the book. It's really awesome. Like 5 stars!


I'm like such a nerd.


I was pleasantly awaken this morning at 6.17am by the sound of my phone, indicating I'd received a message. It said 'By the way I'm crazy about you! Have a good day ok.' So sweet, no? I would have replied (my fingers were really itching to reply) only I was afraid, yes, shaking-in-my-pants afraid of separating with my phone. Again.


Ta-rah!

Out of sight, out of mind.

Out of sight, out of mind.


Stop playing around with me. Do not play around with my feelings. I hate it. Could you just tell me the truth? Please? I'm like sick and tired of it already.


Ok that done, I taped the side of my face the other day. With a strip of Sellotape. Just pasted it on my cheek.


And I stripped it off. I really tore it off from my face. I swear a layer of my skin went along with it. Ok it didn't. I screamed.


It hurt.


I'm not sure why I did that. It wasn't supposed to hurt that bad. Well my previous experiences didn't leave me rubbing my cheek, feeling it burn. I guess this particular roll of tape is super sticky. When I screamed, my sisters gave me this look that said You're weird. I burst out laughing. Felt really high.


I suppose this is like one of those stupid things that you do. Like James Bourne from Busted who ate Matt Jay's scab. Imagine doing that.


What stupid things have you done?

All About You.

P.H.A.T


So now I'm thinking of whether to get into Nanyang Poly or Ngee Ann Poly. Sigh.. Ok I'll stop.


So on friday, that was yesterday, I went to the library. I was sick of doing nothing whenever I'm at home. So after watching the Oprah Winfrey Show, which aired a totally awesome episode (was about makeovers by celebrities' own style group. They look really gorgeous after the makeover. Their hair and makeup. The gowns were like wow! and the jewelleries were divine! They had on like 60 over carats of diamond. They look like a million dollars. And they were invited to Hollywood! To see the Oscars. And they are normal people: a chicken farmer, a single mother, someone who suffered from cancer and a nurse.), I went out to borrow some books. I had to read. I feel like my knowledge is seeping out every moment I slack at home.


But before my visit to the library, I met up with Mumtaz, one of my bestfriends since primary school. It's been like more than 3 months since I last saw her. And she looks so different now with her hair highlighted and face made up. So we caught up with happenings in our lives over her plate of rice and my can of soda. She's boy-crazy now. She wasn't interested in species of the opposite gender until she was in secondary 3, I think. I was the one who gush about them almost every time. Almost. But I guess the years of indifference towards the male have finally caught up to her. Hahah! So we talked about everything under the sun and walked around. We stopped at almost all the hair saloons we saw cuz she was thinking of straightening her hair. So then we made plans to go out again. And off I go to the library.


Picked 3 books. I'd reserved a book long time ago but it still have not arrive yet. So I borrowed 3 books. Got home, read the first one. After about 4 short chapters, i ditched it. The 2nd book is called Lovers Meeting by Irene Carr. It's quite good. And the 3rd book I've yet to read is called, get this, Nadia Knows Best by Jill Mansell. Ok so the name isn't spelt like mine, but the pronunciation is still the same. Hahah. I know best. How cool's that?


Oh I just learned a new..thing. P.H.A.T - Pretty Hot and Tempting. Hahah.


I'm multi-tasking now. Updating this, listening to music, singing along to it, messaging, chatting online and smiling. And I'm trying to control my bladder for a few minutes more while I finish updating this.


Ok. Done. Ta-rah!
