How?
My soon to be boss from Sydney rang me and check if I am ready and prepare to go over there for work. Needless to say, I am not overly excited and to me, it's just like moving from house to house. I realise that the boss seems to change his words quite frequently.Initially he offered me to stay at his place (together with his wifey) until I got an accomodation.Now, the table has overturned and he wants me to get a place within the 5 days of stay. At this point, I'm beginning to feel a little queer.Generally, I never feel comfortable to stick with a couple at any situation. VN said his wifey may feel threatened by my chio bu-ness (uhm, pretty?) and that's why she 's probably pretending to whine to husband as to suggest that I need to get out of their house asap. Seriously, I am only interested in earning a decent living and who really cares about her husband.
The idea of snatching her husband is far beyond my intention. Please lor, i rather get a goofy and nerdy dude than him. Morever, I never like men with 'baggage'.(thanks to KH for correcting my grammar and spelling mistakes ;p)
If I am the wifey, don't think I would behave in such a way like her.Then again, KH claimed that I would be like her eventually.*eyes roll up* I used to let my ex bf to do whatever he wants or whoever he goes out with. Really, why worry? He always let me know in advance anyway.

Back on track
Got my PC reformatted and thanks to Di and her bro for their help. To think that I've only know them several weeks and yet they are able to lend me a helping hand without any worries.
I owe them a big time for sure.
Next Sat is the big move and I got so much junks to clear. Si beh sian.......This is the dunno 6th or 7th time I am packing to move within the 5 years in Perth. To also think that I'll be cut off from the virtual world from next thurs makes me more bored stiff. My car will be off to Sydney via train by next Thurs and no more surf surf surf online for at least the next 3 weeks.
More updates later...gonna koon now.

What I saw recently
A granny taxi driver. There is no age limit in terms of when you can stop driving in Western Australia. All the oldies only need to retake a eyesight check and driving test prior renewing their licences. Maybe I should consider taking up the job as taxi driver when i get really old just to earn some cash.Being on pension is just not enough to spend on living.A nice retirement villa already cost about AU 2k a month.
What a sedentary lifestyle on a Saturday. Basically I sleep and eat the whole day. If I wore a pedometer, it would have only show less than 20 steps/day.
Boiled some chicken herbal soup for the housemates and perhaps next weekend, we'll have a yum cha cheesecake session ( it's a trobolone cheesecake made by me of course).
Spoke to Kent on MSN. He claimed that I am a Miss independent with strong character. Aiya how can not be strong when one has to live in overseas for some time. When you're overseas, you learn to be more focused, see things in a bigger pictures, be more patient, learn how to fix or set up electrical applicances, get a good grip on reading road maps, better understanding of your car mechanic problems and learn the art of cooking better food. Hur hur!
But I wish to master the art of changing tyres..... who knows some hunkys need car tyres fixing along the road ;p

"I'm Engaged"
This word constantly keep ringing in my ears recently......
Here are the 'culprits':
Chomp Chomp (a dentist from Melbourne)-finally got to engage the love of his life
CL- a lawyer friend getting hook up with another fellow colleague
Dk- Dr friend who reveals the truth upon my interrogation.
VY- my fav g.f engaging la...since they got the house oreadi
ET- Needless to say, marriage +engagement all at one shot
Better stop here before the list gets longer.
So am i trying to say I am on the panic to hook up with someone? The answer is no. I know where my qualities lie..Self assurance ? Maybe not. It takes a real man with guts to love me for who I am and what I am capable of doing.
Self assessment:
Qualification - 2 BScs
Cooking Skills -checked
Managment skills -checked
Beauty-lies in the eye of beholder
Empathy- as best described (well, most farking guys would actually think I am rather a submissive person instead. Can't you see the difference? Dumb a**)
Why do I have such thinking that it's good to have a nerdy boyfriend so that I wouldn't get much threat from any girls?? Then again, naturally I am attracted to the goofy types..What's wrong with me?

I hate to do this....
I am going back to SG in July for one reason: to attend my best friend's wedding. Firstly, this is my blog and of course I am entitled to release my views and sorrows here rather than being classifed I am bitching against her (let's put her name as EN).
Moreover this would be a bad time to tell the truth while her whole mind is focusing on work and marriage preparation.
EN is one of my best friends. Together with VY, our friendship is as closed as in sistahood. Being friends for more than a decade, our parents knew each other very well and not to mention that we live in the same neighbourhood for years.
EN is currently working in a finance sector for a local bank. She just got started whereby she hopes to acheive a name of her own someday in the banking world. However, she needs to start off by doing sales which simply drives her to high level of stress. That's not the point.
Her soon to be hubby- looks to me a rather well-to-do business man. At least, he is well to do as compared to average household. From my perspective, EN seems to tone down a lot or rather tamed by her fiance.No more happy go lucky EN. She just refused to say much about her inner feelings when asked. I am not sure how much she appreciates that I am returning back to SG just for her wedding. My mom thinks i am nuts plus I have just gone back to SG last March.EN did breifly mentioned that if I am not going back for her wedding, that would probably mark the end of friendship. Am i suppose to take this as a joke or threat?
It really amazes me that all it takes is someone whom she knows for a year to change her personality and characters.
Communication: We try to talk on emails but her reply was always a few sentences. It seems that she lacks of interest to read or reply. Either way which doesn't bothers me. I reckon on the long run, I may give it up on her.It will be too exhausting too keep it up. At least VY emailed and gave me a general ideal of what's happening in her life. And that is what I call communicating.
Now my plan is going to SG and work again. At least for my flight money which I've paid in AU.
In addition, self-sponsored bride's maid dress and shoes need bling too!

"ohh that looks beautiful........."
Yesterday was my last day working in a nursing home. I wore this black punky belt with bullet-punched holes with my brown pants and Esprit white polo tee. Seems all my oldies love it!
I didn't know they would like this sort of uhm- fashion. Pretty surprising indeed. Even one grandma raised up her thumb and agreed with my fashion statement. Couldn't help but I grinned to myself.
Later on, moving to Room 25, this granny asked me:" So do you have a boyfriend?" (know what, this question is soo hot that it became the top of my list for questions asked by grannies/oldies).
I nodded my head and replied :" nope". Grannie replied:" such a shame. I think you are a very pretty lady."
Me:" nah, no one wants me probably (with a humble tone)."
Grannie: " yes, I would think you are a very pretty lady."
I just smiled at her and said :" Thanks Mrs O for your lovely comments. Maybe someday.....have a nice day ahead anyway.."
Went to change one of my car tyres and that goes my Ka-ching! Boss rang yesterday and he just wanna make sure that I am confirming to go to Sydney ;p

Fruitful Saturday Not
As usual, when it's not a working day, I tend to sleep in a bit more till 10am. After finished washing up, had my late breakfast and logged online. Geez, certainly I need more life than that. Saw FF (another fellow blogger) online and she told me her main attraction is drinking hoegarden. Next Eliza was online for a short while. I decided to intro Eliza to Gene via MSN ;p
The outcome was ok which at least, both of them are able to talk without any hindrance or I should say with my presence. I should get a private matchmaker company registered as my weekend business. After all, staring the feet all weekdays can get quite bored. Hurhur!
Potential match making business in Singapore? Possibility is there. After all, the SDU can't be the only one handle all da singles population.
Don't know why I am just enjoying myself introducing friends to one another. However I have absolutely no intention of hoping friends to get hook up with one another eventually. In simple terms, I am just helping to widen the social circle aspect. Morever, I don't see it as a bad thing after all.
Supposed to go out with Pip and a bunch of aussie dudes but it was cancelled at the last min. Instead, I went out with Kelvin doing power walk (meaning "walking fast") for about an hour plus at the South Perth Park. On the contrary, I had a nice but fattening DIY pancakes for dinner.Maybe I should do more power walk tomorrow or else I am gonna be a fat bridesmaid in June.
TV sux tonight with the English Royal wedding on almost every channel. Give me a break......... that leaves me no choice but to stay online.

FISH
While I was driving along the road, the thought of Yu-ming (fish -his nick) came across my mind. Yu ming was studying dentistry in Arizona right about the same time when I came over to Perth for podiatry study. We used to talk quite a lot online where he even helped me to look for a good anatomy website as my anatomy did sux at that time. Almost every christmas, I'll be at his place for christmas celebration. We , of course, can't take our hands off majong session. I do missed him as my very dear friend. I believe if he is still alive today, we would still be very good friends. Just spoken to Naomi and hopefully she can find out where yuming's tomb is. I just know that I need to pay him a visit in anyway possible when I am back in SG at the end of June.
Shan2 just got an email add for me. It was an email belong to a long lost friend of mine. Just realised that he is working together in the same department with Shan2. I am contemplating whether to email him or not. We used to be quite good friends..... Yeap we did went out but I haven't had the slighest idea that he had a g.f at that time. Neither nor I was interested in knowing. His g.f found out that we plus another friend had a farewell dinner (prior leaving australia at that time ), she was fuming and threatening to break off with my friend. Ever since, our friendship just 'died'.
This is probably where I developed the phobia of going out with guys who didn't tell me about their girlfriends' existence. And therefore, I always insist the guys to let their g.fs know if he is coming out with me. This is all being open and honest in a relationship and also not forgetting to treat each other with respect. Likewise, if my (future) b.f wants to go with some girl pals, that's fine as long as he tells me about it. I always believe if you really like that person, you gotta set him free without worries.

Crossed
One of my vietnamese friends is getting married on the day which I'll be leaving for Sydney. I feel really bad if I can't attend his wedding. He has been a great help especially during my uni days. I am so crossed in the sense that should I pay extra money to change the flight?*sigh*
I supposed he would feel disappointed coz I know if it's my wedding, I would feel the same too.
Spent the whole day running errands: Got my street directory of Sydney (it's a big big place with many suburbs), sorted out my flight to Singapore at the end of June, bought some chinese herbal stuffs, and more to come...have to book for car service, change my car tyres, and buying another ticket from Sydney to Perth...
I intend to colour my hair..black. Wanna stay original on my hair colour which I;ve decided ;>

Happiness
Happiness means be able to spend good quality time with friends and family ; Driving at 110km/hr along deserted road and sightsee at the same time;Listening to Retro and dance my heart out; Seeing my patients getting better or at least making an improvement on their conditions after treatment; Cuddling a dog; Reading any books by Nicholas Sparks; Running - it always have been part of me; Receiving cheques; Having my pimples reduced on my cheeks; Doing facial/massage; Being online; Having successful sellout of stuffs on ebay; Shoe shopping; Having a good o' pint of Stella Aortis or Hoegarden; Rattling rubbish with my msn pals...
Right now I am talking to Kurdt - a current 5th year medical student who just showed me his ciao mugging pic; Shan - in her early 20s who is sending me a korean song called gentle rain; Kaisheng - who is on-call at a hospital in the west is chit chatting with 4 people at the same time and that's amazing what kind of shift he is getting.
So what does happiness means to U?

Sunday's treat
Was raining heavily on Friday night but the girls still decided to go Harbourtown for late night shopping. Guilty me cannot resists buying 5 tops for less than 20 bucks. Good deal hey. I know I shouldn't buy so much stuffs as I am relocating pretty soon. Sigh*
Saturday was so bored as usual. Weather was not that fantastic till Cara sms-ed me to ask if I wanna go Relay for life to volunteer as a podiatrist to treat people's sore feet after the runs. Relay for life is an annual event whereby people just keep running continuously for 24 hours (of course, they take turns to do that) on track as part of fundraising on cancer foundation.
Massage and facial are sunday's treat. But this China aunty really can massage very hard on my body and till now, I am still aching all over. I never felt so much that I had to endure that high level of pain.
Met some of my classmates earlier on at a pub. The strange thing is...only one person orders a coke and the rest are not drinking. I do feel like buying a pint and then again, what's the point of buying it since the rest looks as if they are on some 'financial burden'. Whatever, that generally turns me off from buying any drinks which I rather to drink my Fosters at home. I can't also imagine how contented my classmates can be by working nurses homes and senior citizens. I would say they are the worst jobs - it kinda screw up your back on long run with too much bending down and reaching their toes...grrr.
Freda's aunty was nice to speak to me about tips leaving in Sydney and car transport matters. Indirectly that reminds me of a g.f of mine who can't forget about G. I hope Ah Jxx will be strong and move on. It's better off this way than having yourself trapped on some shameless dudes. Tell me where is that brain-washed machine.......
