the world cup is really eating up all my time.. i watch almost every single match there is to watch.. and now even with 2 days of no football, it suddenly feels empty... like somethings not right - just like how this british patient of prof's is an exercise freak who finds something amiss when he doesn't do the daily jog/physical activity even though he has like severe pain in the knees. :S

bird has joined me at prof's. i think i'm the student who has been attached to prof for the longest since the start of the year. and the more i stay the the job, the more repetitive i think doctor's lives are. endless routines and meetings, non-stop checking up on patients, staff continously giving you no peace. but compared to my life right now, which consists of casual employment and hanging out with friends, i think it's a better way to spend my time. funny, i'd rather be busy than slack. takes a lot of confidence to say this, cos when it comes the time when i'm in prof's shoes, i'll definitely go back on what i've just said. muahaha. aye but that will just be a form of temporary relief from all the stress la.

serious stuff aside, i think i'm going to order my birkenstocks online!!! it's like 50 bucks cheaper and it's free shipping too!! :) just wonderful. my comfy, moulded-to-my-feet birkies!! yay. i hope they arrive soon.

this malacca trip has been enjoyable.. more enjoyable than the normal trip cos we had a special guest: lilian! :)

we did the normal things we do all the time but it was in a different environment so that was refreshing for a change. malaysia's just so different from singapore. it's a much slower pace of life, no stress, everyone just living the days as they go by. it's so simple. like lilian said: reminds me of oldern singapore.

in malacca, shops don't open until noon; people don't go to work until then; heck they don't even wake up until 9! on a normal working day too! ayee. if only singapore was like that.

well.. after 19 years of obivion, i have found out that i have a cousin from malaysia who's coming to nus to study! how cool is that. :) hahah we stopped at batu pahat on the way back to visit some relatives and we ended up giving advise on studying in singapore. it was fun! hahaa.

well. teddy geiger was just on air on 987fm! :) he sings darn well live too! i should have gone to his showcase tonight.. i've got an entry pass too! sighh.

yup ok. the world cup calls! england vs trinidad & tobago. tata!

i went a-baking today! hahhaa and i ended up with no cookies still.. cos they're all not quite done and there was no time to do the world-cup-cookie :( aye so sad... i was hoping for world-cup-cookies in time for the world cup.. which means i have to go back to lilian's house tmr morning to accomplish my mission! hahaha so exciitngg..

why must sport compete against one another? they should spread the lovee and spread their telecast time so that sport-lovers can get their fair share of sporting action!!! yes i must remember to call up the tennis association and remind them not to clash the french open with the start of the world cup, especially if nadal AND federer are both playing on the same night as germany's opening match! ayeeee.

and yes tan shi hui! i haven't taken any of my jabs/check-ups/tests at all!! :S aiyohh. must squeeze everything into the last few months since they haven't told us what exactly to do yet. i can foresee one thing i will hate about uk: british inefficiency. the famed, or rather, infamous inefficiency.

and i almost wanted to ask you lar lilian!! about where u found the website! but i forgot in the midst of all the nice smells wafting from the oven today.. hahha!

i can't believe sh has made her 50th post and i haven't. :( aiyahh it just goes to show how lazy i am hiaaahhh.

yes and i think everyone should go and try out this superduper cool website: www.pandora.com
you won' regret it trust me!

i'm into my second day of official leave and i'm already feeling bored. went back to NUH for awhile today to help my seriously-techno-klutzy prof with his phone and laptop connection. :S and in the process got a taste of what a doctor's annual leave is like.... which is no leave at all..

even the newspapers have picked this up: peadiatricians cannot take annual leave in june cos that's when all the children are free for treatment and consultations. so they're just slogging away, harder than the rest of the year if that's possible.

gosh. look what i've gotten myself into! hahha

yayyyy! there's so many things to be happy about today!

i have....

1. a new notebook! :) finalllllyyyy. it's fast and nice and good!
2. cool neighbours who don't secure their wireless network!! it's all thanks to them i'm able to blog now. hurhurr.
3. finallly signed up for the starhub world cup channel!
4. after finding out that starhub needs 5 days for activation, i then realised that today's the 4th of june.. which means that my world cup channel will be activated on the 9th of june!! and to all the uninitiated, 9th of june is THE START OF THE FIFA WORLD CUP 2006!! :):)
5. no work for the next 2 weeks!!!! ahhh freedom! :)
6. made arrangements to bake cheesecakesss! and whatever other sinful treats!

teedaaahhhh! wonderful week ahead to look forward to... :)

yayy! social night is finally over. hah. no more dress-shopping! :) i hate shopping for dresses.. such a difficult task.. no one should ever be burdened with it ever.

social night was okkkay i suppose. it wasn't like the best of parties, but at least there were many familiar faces! i have a 403 photo and a S03E photo.. amongst others. got a bit tired at the end..

plans for after social night kept being changed at the last minute. sooo i ended up sleeping over at lilian's house.. aiyahh that feels like a seconddd home to me alreadyy. hurhur cos i've been there so many times!

and now i'm sitting here at the tuition centre, taking over my mum's computer. it's rather slowww i dun like. :( takes agonisingly long to load pictures! i have tuition later. i love teaching this class.. cos the students are soo cute! one even has the exact same name as me :)

uh-oh. i think i just scared away a little boy who asked for tissue. :S

okay. lunch is coming soon. :) food always wakes me up!

this is an entry dedicated to...

LILIAN!! :)

well, there u go! you are finally mentioned here.. in caps no less! hahahaha..

we went shopping yesterday. i must say we're totally unproductive shoppers together. spent like 4 hours walking around nice, normally-very-exciting places like heeren looking for dresses for silly social night, but we ended up not buying a single thing! :( ayeee. but it was very fun shopping together though.. having somewhat of the same taste. and this girl kept trying to trick me into saying that something totally hidious was nice-looking!! then she would laugh her head off afterward. :S

we saw like a lot of rj pple today. just that they didn't see us! HAHAHA. cos we were incognitoo or managed to scramble away from them in time. hahaha :)

we got tired after awhile.. seeing how unfit we both are nowadays without regular pe lessons, so we decided to get something to drink! billy bombers has horribly lazy staff!...haha and we kept looking over to the next table to spy on them and compare what we had with what they had... and after awhile the fries they were having were sooo nice we were finally tempted into getting one for ourselvess.

sigh, i'll miss this girlieee loadsss when i leave! :( :( she had better come and visit me.. or else!

wahaha... MALAYSIA here we comeeee! :)
