Bloggie,

Had an excellent nightout last Saturday party out at Metro City. Matt was nice to offer me a ride there and G was sitting next to me in the back seat. Don't feel like even making eye contact with him (read my pervious blog) coz' i find him such a sicko! Anyway,met more peeps there which i couldn't have imagine. Generally, I drank heaps from midori illusion, burbeon coke,vodhka redbull to screwdrivers. Erm, I think I should set up my own foot business soon. Most of the peeps I've spoken to has some form of foot disorders! I would have earn heaps if I start charging them consultation fees :P
Then again, I know i'm a rather soft-hearted person and couldn't bear to see sick and sufferings of any forms. I always have this idea of buying school shoes in massive bulks and donate to the kids in Vietnam or other poorer states.So that gives me a good reason to marry a rich husband! *lol*

I have a total hair revamp today. Cut and coloured streaks all done by this Asian hairdresser. I love it! Being in a health care profession, one shouldn't be too rigid with the outlooks. Add a little more vibrant to your clothes or hair to add zest in your life or even patients' lives! Rather than the good old black, blue , grey.Geez!

S smsed me today.....just met him once at da club but it seems alright to me. Well, I've yet to find out more about him. He offered me a ride to hippee.See how it goes..coz ma is here tomorrow.
I think I'm not used to hanging with SG dudes. Maybe I find them being less flexible, more cranky, less easy going and not being gentlemanly enough!*Sigh* and also if they would stop assuming things............wat the?

Bloggie,

Had a full-on practical session on orthotic therapy today. Met a few podiatrists and gosh* I realised that podiatrists love to talk a lot! Even though the class consisted of approximately 20 peeps, the whole clinic sounded like a wet market place.*lol*
Finally the class ended around 4 yish and since Aaron (my housemate) is not cooking Meesiam tonight, I went over to one of my ex-patient's place for dinner.
C roasted a whole chicken and I helped her with the fried rice cooking. The dinner was fantastic and it ended with waffle plus maple syrup and vanilla ice-cream on top.
Yum......I'm glad to have R and C as my advisors. At least, they care to listen to me and my rumblings or at times, they'll give me advise if necessary.

My table is in a huge mess now and there is always constantly paper work to be filed or throw away . Oh yeah, not forgetting the bills..Guess I'll do that tomorrow in the morning. Perhaps I should start swimming if the weather is good.

Good news is Mom is most likely to come over next week! I'm really getting excited over it. :P

I've received a VIP tickets to the Rise NightClub for a launch of a CD (trance/house).......*sign* who can I ask to go???
*shrugs*

Bloggie,

So tiring after a full day course of orthotic therapy. It certainly helps me in my orthotic prescription and at least, the concept of that is much clearer in my brain. heh heh.
Tomorrow is gonna be another full day course and hope I can squeese in my lunch break coz i wanna go to K-mart to get a disaposable camera for a discount! Plus, i need to go to da bank as well, and post office *gosh*

Other than that, think I need to zzzz now.......concentrating too much in the day which exhaust my little brain too much.

What kind of man are you looking for? - girls to read aloud

In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question "What kind of man are you looking for?"
She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking, >"Do you really want to know?" Reluctantly, he said "Yes." She began to expound...

"As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man...or woman for that matter.

I am in the position to ask, "What can you bring to the table?" The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money. She quickly corrected his thought and stated, "I am not referring to money. I need something more.
I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life." He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain. She said, "I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation.
I don't need a simple-minded man.
"I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked...believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster.

"I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden.

"I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded.

"I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive... he just has to be worthy.

"God made woman to be a help mate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself."

When she finished her spill, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. He said, "You are asking a lot." She replied, "I'm worth a lot."

Super ultra hot weather with a temperature of bloody 40 degrees celsius. I don't even feel like eating anything. All I want is to drink ,drink and drink more fluids. Worked at the orthotic lab as usual. Nothing unusual happened except hearing one of the men at work yelling to his wife over the phone. D - a married man in his mid 20s was literally screaming over the phone coz he was upset as his wife sent him a nasty e-mail (sorta accusing him of something which D didn't do it).
Why can't couples just sit down and talk to each other nicely and sort out whatever problems that's on each others' minds?
Getting pissed and firing not- so -nice comments will not change the situations anyway.
It's so so sad to see couples quarrelled.

So what is the marriage vows for in the first place?? I am beginning to ponder.......
I'm pretty sure it has its significant values and meanings....hmm....

Didn't suffer from any Monday Blues. Headed down to Orthotic lab and worked for a couple of hours. Dave fed me a piece of chip with a dip of Japanese Mega hot chilli sauce (da bottle stated that it is 500 times hotter than any ordinary chilli sauce) since my hands are covered with plasters. OMG, it is really hot hot hot and dislikes the sensation of tongue burning!eeks*

I've done a good deed today by donating blood at the uni. No local anaesthetic and the nurse simply just poked me with a size (looks like) of 18G needle.For a moment, I feel like yanking out loud. Yes, it hurts and freaking painful.

After that met up with Stef and her parents for dinner with their family friend. thumbs up for kimchee...
YUMMY!

you are lightskyblue #87CEFA

Your dominant hues are cyan and blue. You like people and enjoy making friends. You're conservative and like to make sure things make sense before you step into them, especially in relationships. You are curious but respected for your opinions by people who you sometimes wouldn't even suspect. Your saturation level is lower than average - You don't stress out over things and don't understand people who do. Finishing projects may sometimes be a challenge, but you schedule time as you see fit and the important things all happen in the end, even if not everyone sees your grand master plan. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.

I am thinking of buying a tulip for myself@Subiaco Market today and chuck it onto a Midori Illusion bottle (which I've offered it to my housmate A yesterday..as least, he cooked mee goreng for me on V-day). Smsed Therese (former podiatry receptionist) and met up with her for lunch at Subi Hotel. Therese is such a fun loving lady in her early 40s and even a young french 25 year- old surfer dude tried to hit on her. And after lunch, we went to Oriels for a drink. I've been a good girl....heh, ordered a healthy raspberry/cranberry nudie juice rather than something alcoholic. Both of us had a good chat and other than that, everything is cool.
So we left the place about 3 yish in arvo and thinking that it;s too early to go home. So moi drive to the city and bought a SUNDAY DOUBLE movie ticket @ piccadilly. Not a bad deal for 2 movies for 6 bucks. Well, basically i just wanna kill the time.
The boy sitting next to me starting chatting with me. Haha, he introduced himself and asked about my age. To think that he thinks I'm 22!! Woo hoo.....*lol*
plus, he's only 19 this year studying in TAFE.Anyway, he's currently working as a promotor in BIG APPLE and there is this dance party going on 28th feb. Told Stef about it too and apparently, her parent's friend's son is the doing the DJ-ing that night.So , he took my number down and will SMS me about the details.

Oh, just another quick one on last Wednesday, I went out with GA. I guess I must say I really do enjoy his company. We shared the same passion for medicine and yakked thru'out our pizza dinner. Both of us caught a movie earlier on too.

OMG, too tried to type now.....

If you have ever looked at a still life of flowers painted by the Old Dutch masters you will undoubtedly notice that they invariable feature one or two beautiful tulips in the composition. What you may not have noticed (or even wondered) is that you almost never see a painting absolutely filled with tulips. And for very good reason.

During the time the old masters were painting, the cost of a single tulip bulb exceeded the cost of an equivalent amount of gold. Painters were known to share a single blossom, or even a good painting of a single blossom, just to be able to put them into their work without going broke.

Why were tulips so costly? Because Holland, at the time (around 1634) was in the throes of Tulipmania.

Tulips originally came to Europe from the gardens of the Turkish sultans. The name, in fact is derived from the Turkish word for “turban” because that is what people thought the tulip flowers resembled.

They commanded a high price right from the start because of this, and soon became a status symbol. In Holland, wealthy Dutch burghers competed to have the most and the best of this new garden favorite. And then something seemingly wondrous happened. Tulips began to appear in not just solid colors but all manners of stripes and mottling.

The Dutch loved this and the demand rose even higher. Since these new and exciting tulips could not be duplicated from seed, and so had to be increased by simply waiting for the bulb itself to reproduce, the costs for especially beautiful colored tulips went right through the ceiling. Legend has it that families were willing to accept a single special tulip bulb as a suitable bride’s dowry. One bulb, a variety named “Semper Augustus” sold for what would be $2500 in today’s market. One single tulip bulb!

Farmers stopped growing food crops to speculate in tulips. Fortunes were made – and then lost, as saner heads realized that the actual value of a tulip bulb was nowhere near the prices they were commanding and began to regulate trade. The result was a lot like Black Tuesday in the 1929 stock market crash.

The real irony is that the color mutations that created these beautiful flowers came as a result of a tulip virus.

We have beautifully colored tulips today with stripes and interestingly colored edges, but careful breeding and selection have created these new beauties. And – lucky for us, even the most extravagantly colored tulips don’t require a trip to the bank anymore. We can grow them in our own gardens quite affordably.

All you need to create a little tulipmania of your own is a plot of rich, well drained soil that gets full sun or part shade in early spring. In the south, you will need to refrigerate your tulip bulbs first, as they require a cold period (such as a northern winter) to bloom well. Many southerners store their tulips in the refrigerator for 6-8 weeks before planting, and then toss them away when their bloom period is done. (Yes – they've become as affordable as that!) Northern gardeners can expect to get at least a few good years from most tulip bulbs, and species tulips or Triumph and Darwin hybrids will act like perennials in most gardens.

If you want to recreate the effect of tulipmania at its height, look for multicolored tulips like 'Sweety' or 'Shirley'. 'Shirley', especially, is subtle enough in coloration to blend beautifully with other tulips – even other multicolored ones. Later in the season ‘Dreamland’ comes into bloom with a red flame on its creamy white bloom. Another quite lovely tulip that acts like a perennial is ‘Greenland’ which is green and creamy yellow centered and flamed and edged with rose.

For something less subtle and more dramatic, ‘Fringed Solstice’ is, as the name implies, fringed with a deep golden yellow and flamed with vibrant red. And then there is my favorite of all the “broken tulips” – ‘Estella Rijnveld’ which is mottled and splashed and dotted red and white, with extravagantly fringed edges and a tall, stately stem. Even a half dozen bulbs of this exciting tulip will create quite a show.

In fall, typically when the ground temperature has reached 60 F. plant your tulips. Measuring from the base of the bulb, your hole should be at least 8 inches (20 cm.) deep for large bulbs; 5 inches (12.5 cm.) for small bulbs. Tuck them into their little beds for the winter, noses facing up, and using soil amended with rich compost or a good bulb booster fertilizer, water in well - and wait for spring.

Tulips make great cut flowers with an interesting trick – they keep growing taller, right in the vase, a habit which lends itself to beautiful, natural-looking arrangements.

But flower bouquets and garden beauty are only a few uses for the tulip. They are considered by some cultures to be the symbol of perfect love. The Victorians used the color of the petals to convey love messages. Red petaled tulips signified a declaration of love, but yellow ones meant that the love was, alas, quite hopeless. Lucky girls who received striped or variegated tulips know that someone felt that they had beautiful eyes.

The Turks used to brew love potions from tulips; modern cooks have found them to be edible, at least, even if not capable of magic. Try stuffing a perfect tulip blossom with chicken salad for an interesting appetizer, or sprinkling its petals (which taste a bit like cucumber) into salads for a touch of exotic color. An interesting recipe for tulip, crab and asparagus appetizers can be found at http://sunsite.auc.dk/recipes/english/o0120947.html . The bulbs could, if you were really in a pinch, be diced and used in spaghetti sauce if you happened to run out of the tulip’s more commonly eaten relative, the onion.

Just remember that when you plant tulips you’re not just planting a flower. You’re planting history, romance – and, in a pinch, part of a delicious dinner.

St Valentine's Day

I was totally pissed with G. I knew all along he was interested in me but I don't give a damn. How can he try to hit on me especially when he has a flight stewardness g.f of 5 years? Hello, I'm not such an easy lady as any guy would think. I hate guys who can't drink and make a fool of themselves eventually. These guys should might as well stay at home. He tried kissing me and that put me off totally. To the extent which I can't handle him anymore, I called a cab and sent him straight off outta my place.
What have i done to deserve men like this?
God, wish uni will start faster and more jobs start rolling in for me!

Went out with Anna today at Fremantle's Bennys. Anna never failed to brighten up my day and knowing her was a great pleasure. Leah and Kelly (Anna's high school mates) came later to join us. All of us had a fantastic chat and later we decided we might wanna catch UNDER THE TUSCANY SUN starred Diana Lane.Rating 7/10.
On my way home, I don't know.....I just teared as I drove along Leach H'way.....
Thanks to those freaking love songs on da radio......
I know I'll get over it.....

and I'll still be waiting for the man who would buy me a tulip.

Fashion Edition

Just came back from the City. Was shit boredom and the trains are not operating today. WTF** and so, I drove to da town instead.
Got something for Anna Banana tomorrow coz' we're meeting at Freo tomorrow for lunch.
Hope the heart shape chocs will brighten her day.
Went to David Jones and boy, was I am amazed to see branded clothings are such a pathetic sight.From Zimmermann,Polo Ralph Lauren, Bebe to calvin klein are all in horrible styles and cuttings.
I'm a very practical person. The style and cut have to be unique and material factor must also take into consideration.
To be continued......

"I don't like dates....I prefer Prunes"

I was supposed to go down to the orthotic lab today but I've got an acupuncture appointment down at VP Podiatry. Met CR (my future potential boss) and he has also arranged for a time for me so that we can see the patients together next week. The other podiatry boss wants me to work for him 3 hours/week.However, things will not get finalised till i get my uni timetable.
I can't imagine myself splitting up into 3 places to practice! How exciting!

Tomorrow is St Valentine's Day. Gosh* how much I detest this day. Seeing all the lovey dovey couples on the streets only makes me feel nausea and sick. No one ever gave me flowers except I asked a guy friend to give Lillies to me on my b'day last year.(as requested...see the difference).
None of the guys I know would actually give me whatever flowers.......all i'm asking is just A TULIP.
Never mind, just another day. I know I'll get over it. As I've read from the Straits Times earlier on, I should get all the single girls and get drunk and masscare all the love songs.

Maybe I should go down to the City now....so bored..

ME, MYSELF, and I - Beyonce

Is the boredom getting on top of my head? I wish uni starts sooner and hope I'll get more jobs at private clinic. Don't like the ideal of idling around too much. Such a waste of time and unproductive.

Ma may be coming to my convocation! Pa called this morning!! yippee. And worked a few hours at the orthotic lab this morning and the boys at work are just cracking me up. Headed down to the pool coz the weather is bloody 39 degrees celsius....*faint*

After that, L wanted to go carousel and buy Valentine's gift for her b.f. So I;m kind enough to give her a lift and plus, she cooked Beehoon for me. I'm kinda afraid of seeing her partner, A. That time he appeared in his red boxers in front of me which is so DUH*-

Not sure what's wrong with me today.....a leetle sian...bought 4 packs of Midori.
*shrugs*

Bloggie,
D called me from Swiss this afternoon! I am soo touched and very glad to hear from him. Poor him was stuck in a situation of almost falling head over heels with another someone. Moreover, he was already in a relationship at the moment. I kept telling him to calm himself down and knowing this person's character is not even worth to sacrifice his present relationship. I'm sure D , at least, trying his best to think rationally.

Parents will not be coming to my convocation. Pa preferred to save the travelling fees and give it to me as my allowances. Plus, he had to pay upfront for me for my 2nd degree coming up in March.

I'm afraid to fall into the trap of lust...........I constantly keep telling myself to stay focus and I know I can do it. Life can be so bored but I'm coping alright. Staying positive. My digi camera is coming!!!! yippee!
My early b'day gift from Pa. And wondering when will anyone buy tulips for me......*sob*
The ideal of V-day coming up this saturday just sux. DK is planning a big surprise for his date...how lovely.
While I'll be sitting aside to watch......................................................

Dear Blog,
I've been partying hard for the past 2 days and this keeps getting better.Headed down to Rise Club last friday and thanks to B for giving me a lift. PLus, got to know 2 more boys who arrived here in town this week. Erm, can't remember their names though :P
A couple of SQ boys seemed like to ask me the same question that night.

"So, what do you think of the boys here? Any eligible ones that you fond of?"

Seriously, I'm not hurrying to get into a relationship and I'm taking it slow and easy to know more new friends!

Right now, i'm helping KH to plan his 1st valentine's day celebration.Keeping fingers crossed that the plan will go well that day.
I've actually gave him a list of ideal valentine's gifts.How sweet he can be.

To me, V-day always sux....and it suxs big time. I don't think I would know how to love someone again with the reason for being single for donkey years. A lot of people kept saying that I;m too picky. yeah, picky for a good reason. Don't wish to think too much for now.

YOU ARE AN Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) BOY!
You are a sweet-natured person, though constantly
seeking attention and affirmation from your
peers. You are not very hard working...


Which Singapore School are YOU FROM?
brought to you by Quizilla
Uh, i just don't understand how can i do this test twice and still be in ACS!?!?

S's birthday on last Sunday and had a wonderful celebration@Little creatures (and yet someone mixed up the name as Toy Story?? -Hilarious indeed).And yes, excellent dinner and all of us proceed to Karaoke session@northbridge. I've not sing for donkey years. My singing kakis are long 'gone' and literally, I've lost track with all the latest songs. What can i say staying on the dark side of Oz.
The boys have been an excellent bunch of blokes. Non stop laughings and rubbish yakkings about everything under the sun. I was rather embrassed to see D coz' of what happened last Fri. Then again, I'll just keep my cool and remain as a cool grrrl!

Pa called last night and said that they might not make it for my convocation. The reason being his new Camry is coming out this month, plus with my hectic school fees to pay and he hopes to earn a bit more rather than spending 1500 for those few days of stay. I totally understand Pa and really appreciate what he did for me.
Being not dissappointed of Pa and Ma not coming is a lie. But i'm sure i'll get over it and who shall i give away the 2 tickets to? I was thinking about giving to a couple whose husband was my ex-patient.
Oh, Pa bought a new digi cam for me!! Finally!! I'm so excited!!
panasonic with 4 megapixels...well, better than no camera! Yippee!
I;ve not read up much for tomorrow's trial clinic.
arrghh!
