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.
