On Monday.. hmm.. Hmm.

On Tuesday, Tini, Ais and I created a hoo-haa in a toilet cubicle while changing for our evening jog. I won't try to describe what happened but imagine 3 loud girls (mostly the other two) sharing one toilet cubicle. Haha. Thinking about what Ais did makes me want to laugh. Fun was had.

So we jogged. At first, I truly felt like a poser; pretending to jog like I'm healthy and all. But after that, I couldn't be bothered. I surprised myself by achieving 3 rounds around the track. Actually I could have gone a couple more rounds but the others had had enough for that day. Don't like to run by myself in front of people.

On Wednesday, I didn't exactly like my timetable for that day. I have only an hour of class in school for the entire day. Even my journey to school is longer. I spend more time in transportation than in school on a Wednesday. OH MY GOD!! Waste of energy, seriously. Anyway, yesterday I finally got to watch Mr Bean's Holiday. I had a free movie ticket, so why not? It was pretty hilarious. I was laughing until I rocked in my seat. Haha. Comedies, who doesn't love them, right? Next movie, Spiderman 3, please! And The Simpson's Movie.

Today, I dislike my timetable even more. In the train to school, I had a long bout of nausea and stomach ache. My mind rewinded back to the day I vomited after taking the damned Doxycycline. Wah, every stop the train made, I thought of running out and search for a toilet to relieve myself. But I controlled it. I swore to stop taking the medication. But then, my body would be resistant to it and the next time I'm given antibiotics, I might have to take a stronger medication to kill the same microorganism. Which is NOT good.

At one stop, this guy sat beside me and kept looking at me and my things! I'm like what the **** are you looking at? He was staring at the book I was reading and he watched my every movement when I took out my phone to read a newly received message. Bloody hell. I had to bring my phone close to my face, that my eyes are probably ****ingly crossed, to type a reply so that he can't see what I typed. Major annoyance, please.

When I reached my stop, it was raining! And my slippers got all wet. I hate that. When I reached my school, there was this person walking behind me that irritated me. The sound of her soles scraping against the gravel floor almost drove me nuts. She was dragging her feet like she's trying to scrape off shit from her shoes. I wanted to turn back and tsk her.

Yes, yes. This could be the first signs of PMS.

Time for Book of the Moment.

I recommend Deep Heat by Chris Manby to those who like a good laugh. Some parts of it is pretty hilarious. So hilarious, I guarantee you that you'll laugh out loud, even when you're in the train if you're someone who has difficulty in containing your laughter. The story's also the kind where the plot becomes kind of suspense-y. And like if it happens to you, you'd go "What do I do?!". The way of writing is similar to that of Sophie Kinsella's. I LIKE!

I've read 3 of her books of which, one is Deep Heat. The other two were Ready Or Not and Flatmates. Ready Or Not was excellent too. Utter cute-ness. I can't say the same for Flatmates though. But I'm going to read her other books. Would love it if someone buys them for me, as a gift. Or any book for that matter, cuz I LOVE books.

Anyway, here's an extract from Deep Heat:

[Ali was at her gay friend's, Marvin, house with her flatmate, Emma, and her other friends, Fred, Tiffany, Andrew & Peta. Tiffany and Andrew are together, by the way. There was one guest left who is supposed to be the Mystery Man, who has yet to arrive. A little chaos took place when the mystery man finally showed up and he happens to be Ali's ex-fiance, who dumped her on Christmas Day when she was in the hospital recovering from an appendisectomy. So obviously, Ali isn't really happy to see him. Here's what happened during part of the dinner.]

Seeing David again for the first time was not at all as I had imagined it. I had imagined a sordid rendezvous in the supermarket car park where we would swap back the items of each other's property we had gathered over the years. There would be an argument over who owned the programme from that matinee performance of Grease we saw on our first proper date, It was signed by all the cast. He would let me have it, of course, because when it came down to it, he didn't have such a big thing about Shane Ritchie as I did. But then David would drive off to meet Lisa from her late shift and I would tear the programme up anyway and let the pieces scatter across the wet ground. Symbolically.

Instead, David and I were sitting across a table at Marvin's house, of all places. There were no bitter recriminations. He wasn't even paying too much attention to me in the way that people do when they know they've done you wrong. He was discussing engine sizes with Andrew. Just like old times. Then, suddenly, David turned and looked at me. He actually smiled at me in the special way he had smiled at me during dozens of these dinner parties over the time that we were together. It was a smile that said, this guy is boring me rigid, can't wait to rip these morons apart with you on the journey home. Can't wait to rip your clothes off when we get home, was what it usually also meant.

I blushed and pretended that I was really interested in the pattern on my plate. Only the plate was actually plain white. When I looked up again, David was still looking at me. When I looked down again, his left foot, minus a shoe, was in my lap.

My mouth dropped open. What did this mean? It was what he always used to do at parties. He would wriggle his toes in my crotch until I was barely able to speak for excitement. But that was back then. In the good old days. Now, in the context of our new status as ex-lovers, it was surely a wholly inappropriate thing to do. I gave him a 'what do you think you're doing?' kind of look.

He gave me an innocent 'am I doing something wrong?' kind of look back.

Emma leaned across to ask me to pass the salt. I quickly covered David's foot with my napkin before she could see what was going on.

'Are you OK?' she asked, seeing the surprised and perturbed look that I just couldn't keep off my face. 'You look a bit weird, Al.'

'It's hot in here,'I said hurriedly. 'Aren't you hot too?'

'No.' Emma put some salt on her inedible pasta and thankfully returned to that interminable conversation about the benefits of a mortgage over renting with Tiffany.

As I tried to force down a piece of rock-hard garlic bread, David's toes began to move. It was almost imperceptible at first, but pretty soon, I was sure that everyone in the room must have been able to see the napkin jumping up and down in my lap. I forced myself further back in my chair in an attempt to make myself out of his range. David, while continuing to talk house prices with Andrew, abandoned his food altogether and slid lower in his chair to better help him get to me. I gestured at him to stop, wildly flashing my eyes, but David wasn't even looking at me so that he could get the signs.

Finally, I had no choice. This had to stop. David Whitworth no longer had the right to try to turn me on.

So I stabbed him with a fork.

'Fuck!'

Andrew fell off his chair and began to roll about on the floor, clutching desperately at his newly perforated ankle.

[Pause for laughter. Hahaha!]

'Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!'

'Andrew, what's wrong?'

Tiffany leapt up from her seat and went to his rescue.

'What's wrong, darling? What's wrong? What on earth has happened to you?'

'Must have been stung by a bloody wasp or something,' Andrew muttered. 'Underneath the table.'

Everyone peered beneath the tablecloth in horror.

A wasp? In January? That was a good one. I made a swift beeline myself for the bathroom. Safely locked inside, I listened to the commotion continuing downstairs. Tiffany was getting hysterical.

'But I can't find the sting!' she shouted. 'It must have gone in really deep. We'll have to get him to the hospital. He's bleeding so much. Might be an allergic reaction. Call an ambulance. Help me somebody. Quick!'

Poor Andrew, I thought as I made myself comfortable on the loo seat and lit up a fag. If I had known it was him, I wouldn't have been quite so vicious. Just a little pinch would have been enough for him. But hell, I told myself, men who go around putting their toes in ladies' private places deserve to be stung by the occasional wasp. No wonder David had been looking at me as if I had gone mad when I thought that it was him who was toying with my affections.

I am exhausted.
I AM exhausted.
I am EXHAUSTED!

Haha. I've always wanted to do that.

So school was from 8am to 6pm today. Ended about 45 minutes early though.

Then I met Wilson for our evening jog. It was more like a quarter jog, a quarter brisk walk, and more of a walk actually. I did a warm-up, a round around the track. I was already half dead. I got tired so quickly! It's disgusting! I had difficulty breathing.

Then we jogged/brisk walked/walked around the school, all the slopes and shits. My GOD! I think I jogged for 2 minutes and walked for 15 minutes. Then jogged for 1.5 minutes and walked 20 minutes. One time I saw Ms Lee in a car waving at me. I was like 'D-OH!'.

Will I be able to get out of bed tomorrow, I wonder. Luckily I start school at 2pm tomorrow.

Can't wait for the next evening jog! Healthy me, here I come!

Hey hey.

School has been great so far. I love school. Especially MY school. I don't think I can say it enough. Haha.

Today, in school, Dr. Thomas kinda scared me, and probably the rest of us in the lecture theatre. I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to PRCP. What if I break down? What if I get too stressed up that I make mistakes and a patient dies? What if I do something that could land myself in court? What if I go blank suddenly and not know what to do? What if I can't take all the pressure? What if I fail?? For those who doesn't know what PRCP is, it's something like the final phase of my school life before I officially become a staff nurse. It's like an exam. In the clinical setting. So if I fail, I won't be graduating as a staff nurse.

Why is Singapore so stressful?

In the train, on my way home, I made the acquaintance of a Malay elderly lady. I was reading my book when she boarded and sat beside me. From the corner of my eye, I saw her look at me. Then she started talking to me. I was a little surprised cuz usually strangers don't come up and talk to me. I thought that only happens to her. *Rolls eyes & scoffed* Guess not.

So she talked to me. I was quite pleased that she thought I was just coming home from school, not a working woman, yet. Then she was like giving me advices to study hard so that I'd have a bright future and can take care of my parents. She said it in such a heartfelt way, touching my hands comfortingly. I was a little awkward. Didn't exactly know what to say but say yes and nod and smile. Anyway, I accompanied her down from the train platform to the control station, and down a short flight of stairs since she kinda had difficulty in going down the steps. Also, she said something about being scared a Chinese lady would push her. She fell one time because of that. So after that, I kissed her hand in respect (like how we Malays do) and she pulled me a little towards her and kissed both my cheeks. I was touched really. She totally treated me like I'm her granddaughter (we have the same name by the way, me and her granddaughter). Not that I'm not used to it. My own grandmother does that but I hardly knew THIS granny so I was a bit taken aback but at the same time touched.

Yup.

I'm going jogging tomorrow after school with Wilson. And also every Tuesday with Tini, Aisyah and Nisa. For Tini and Nisa, they want to lose weight, while for Aisyah and I, a totally different intention since we hardly have any visible fat to lose. We're very slim that people could easily deemed us as anorexics should they see us go jogging. Our intention is in preparation for NAPFA (a fitness test). There'll be a 2.4km walk/jog/run as one of the tests. So.. I don't exactly want to come in last. Besides, I feel downright unhealthy. I could visualize my arteries and veins being clogged up by greasy oil. I've been eating junks between meals since 2005 I think. Not much exercise whatsoever unless you count walking up and down the slopy areas in Ngee Ann Poly an exercise. Actually it is but I don't think it's enough.

I thought of jogging like about 2 days before school started. Was a little worried that no one would want to run with me. But thank God for these 4 people. =)

Aisyah, Nisa and I have signed up for HI Club, every Monday. That is, Hearing Impaired Club. We'll learn how to communicate in sign language. I don't know when I got interested in it. I guess I thought I would be able to communicate secretly. Like secret messages kind of thing. OH YES. Now I remember why I became interested. It was during the first Red Cross camp. We did a presentation with sign language. We signed the chorus of a song. Yup. That's why I'm interested in joining HI Club. Nisa was interested in joining because she was from a Hearing Impaired school. No, I don't mean her school is for hearing impaired students. I meant, her school also caters to hearing impaired students. So she kinda learned the basic from there. Aisyah's reason was that her boyfriend knows sign language and when he signs her, she doesn't understand. So she wants to learn.

I'm excited!

And I'm tired.

School has started.

This year's Nursing Skills Lab is going to be WAY awesome. We're now doing skills in a simulation lab where there's this manequin that could almost pass off as human. You can feel the pulse, you can see the breathing, it can blink it's eyes and it can be set to have 'blood' or 'urine' or 'saliva' or 'tears' secretion. It's set in an emergency room where the 'patient' is in a critical condition. Behind a screen is the control room where our lecturer can control the manequin like make it suddenly go hypotensive or make it's tongue become hard or make the heart stop or something. So our job is to take on the role of a nurse in those kind of situation and we have to do everything we can to save the 'patient'. We would be expected to know what kind of drugs to inject, what IV fluids, how to intubate the 'patient', how to resuscitate and how to use the defibrillator, etc.

And we're going to learn how to be a Scrub Nurse who is the person to help the surgeons directly. I'm SOO excited. We've already learned how to 'scrub' our hands clean. Like friggin' clean. Almost sterile clean. It's a bit traumatizing to our hands though, having to scrub our hands in different areas SO many times.

I'm too lazy to type about stuff these few days.

I vomitted this morning. Wah. The feeling during the few minutes before the actual vomiting was horrible. Then the action of vomiting itself, the gushing of internal contents which happened to be mee goreng, out through my oesophagus and my throat, was OMG! I hate vomiting. The taste of the partially digested food mixed with acid was disgusting. I don't know what precipitated the vomiting. It could be the doxycycline capsule that I have to take every morning until the month of MAY! Only, how can it be? I followed the instructions to take it after food. I hope it doesn't happen again.

Anyway, been cooped up at home ever since I came back from Cambodia. Except for the times I sent my sister to school. Which was.. just once. Haha.

Today was a day of sweetness and crying BECAUSE of the sweetness. I watched a DVD I bought in Cambodia about the Killing Fields that I visited while in Cambodia. Touching ending. Almost cried. Speaking of DVDs, you can get just about any show or movies you want in Cambodia. Prison Break Season 2 has just aired on TV in Singapore, in Cambodia, they already have the whole of Season 2 in DVD. And Heroes too. Whatever that hasn't come out yet, is already in stores in the crowded, suffocating markets of Cambodia.

I was searching for some songs online when I came upon the word Tong Hua. I was like TONG HUA! See, I heard the song while I was in Cambodia and fell in love with it. So I went to ask a friend for it and TA-DA! You're listening to it, baby! You've just GOT to love the song. I saw the music video. Touching to the MAX, please. Very sweet! Almost cried. Again.

Then I watched the movie A Walk To Remember. I've watched it before but saw it again cuz I like it. It's sweet. I want a guy just like Landon. How he tried to make everything on the girl's to-do list to come true. Even marrying her. Wow. This time, the dam behind my eyes just went bursting. Sweet!

Then Wilson showed me another music video by the same artiste who sang Tong Hua. OMG. If humans can get diabetes some other way besides having something sweet taken orally, I'd be in a coma right now. Too much sweet things. And all happening to someone on TV. Sigh.. When will it be MY turn?

Hellooo Singapore! I came back from Cambodia yesterday. I love airports and airplanes! I LOVE TRAVELLING!!

Where do I start?

I think I'll just briefly talk about the interesting stuff that happened. Otherwise, this entry would be TOO long.

1. I couldn't believe I was actually on a plane, flying to Cambodia! Arrived at Phnom Penh.

2. The guesthouse was better than expected, though twice a day I had ice water running down my back.

3. My heart was captured by a cute 6 year old boy. SO handsome!



4. The quality of living in the village wasn't very good.

5. Making the water filters was hard work.

6. The temperature was SO HOT! I put on loads of sun block lotion.

7. We went to see the S:21 Genocide thing. It was horrible seeing how they tortured and killed people. Especially to children and babies. HORRIBLE I tell you. How could they hit babies against trees until they die? In front of their moms! How could they throw the babies up in the air and shoot them? What the hell is their bloody problem??!!

8. We shopped at Russian Market and Central Market. FUN! Bought lots of stuff. I used up all US$200 that I brought.





9. Visited an orphanage. I fell in love with the kids there. They're LOVELY! Their moms had HIV. Most died. It's sad. When I was there I was SO moved. I love children. I know I'm bonded to KKH but I'd much rather take care of children without parents or anyone to take care of them. I want to be the one who take care of all of them. I want to give them the best living environment that anyone would ever see. But that requires a lot of money. I don't know where to get that money. I don't exactly like donations. It's too much of a dependence. I don't like to depend on people. It put me on a position where I'm very vulnerable for disappointments.



10. Ate. Food was alright. Ate lots of fish and mushroom. I love mushroom! We also went to a Japanese restaurant. Ate Sushi!! I tried jellyfish and salmon. Raw! With wasabe! Interesting experience. There was a TV in the Japanese restaurant. We watched Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu. It was the episode when Quan kissed Ruixi when feeding her water. That part all the girls (including me) screamed sia! Hahah we kept on saying "Diabetes sia, diabetes sia!". Hahah cuz it was SOOOO sweet!





11. I rode a motorcycle with two other people on the same bike! The driver, my friend and me. And we rode without helmets! It was quite scary. I could easily fall off the back of the bike and smash my skull. But I was laughing the whole time. It was funny. HAHAHA! Whoever goes to Cambodia, try the TAXI motorcycle. Really fun!

12. On the 1st of April, we moved to Siem Reap. We stayed in a hotel called Monoreach Angkor Hotel. It's SUCH a luxury after the 10 days staying in the budget guesthouse.











13. It was April Fools. Thinesh played a trick on us. He wasn't feeling well a few days back, see. So when he "slipped off the chair and fainted with a loud thud on the lobby floor", I ran towards him before I could think. The rest also came towards him and saying call the ambulance and stuff. Dr. Ronnie was already there feeling his chest and pulse. Suddenly Thinesh sat up and screamed APRIL FOOLS!! I was like "WHAT THE HELL!!" I was damn shakened la! My heart raced I tell you. Walao, that guy! Scared me so much.

14. Climbed the Angkor Wat! Exciting please! The steps are like SO steep, like 70 degrees kind of steepness. I felt like spiderman cuz I climbed up using all 4 limbs! Hahah. Going down was a bit scary.











15. Visited other temples and ruins. The weather was SUPER hot.











16. There, I also took the famous tuk tuk! SO FUN! The wind in my hair!

17. Jonathan scared me. I was standing outside Aisiah's and Xiao Qiu's room. I didn't know he was standing behind me so when I turned, he was like 'BOO!'. I screamed.

18. On the plane back to Singapore, I sat beside Thinesh. I screamed in the plane. Not because I was scared or something happened to the plane but because of a video Thinesh showed me on his lappie. I can't believe I screamed. Bloody hell.

Anyway, I'm home! I think I've a lot more to say and lots more of pictures to show but another day, another time.

I can't wait for school to start!!

SHOOT! I forgot to eat my daily OM dose of doxycycline!!
