Sha Shay Sha Shay

Not trying to say I dress very well. Today at least got 3 humans asked me where I get the blue-knitted cardigan top.

First fashion victim: Boss's wifey (BW)

BW (in her most Singapore San-pak< "San Ba" in Mandarin> slang:
Eh where you get ya top from har? I also got leh. I got 3 somemore. How much you buy?

Me (eyes try not roll up and mind thinking that was a mouthful of questions to ask):
Oh I got that from Hornsby and cost only $10 bucks. Hurhur!

BW: HAR? So cheap uh? Aiyoh, I bought my 1st top for $40 bucks, 2nd and 3rd for $20bucks each.

Me: They are made in China and I don't think it's worth to pay so much. You can buy like several pieces for your friends.Ha!
(now you know we can never be great shopping mates)

Second fashion victim: Old lady patient (OLP)

OLP: Oh I got a sore corn...that's a nice top you wearing.

Me: Thanks. *giggle to myself*

Third fashion victim: Book- keeper (BK) at the clinic

BK:" That's a lovely top. Did you knit them ya self?

Me: " No, I got it for 10 bucks.Heh heh."

My supportive friend


Is my traditional chinese medicine Dr. He always think I am in a good profession and should set up my own clinic after I've got the experiences you need. Isn't it nice to hear someone being so encouraging?
He gave me this acne cream and instructed me:" apply on left cheek first and one week later, compare to the right cheek , then see got improvement or not."
ME:" orr, uncle."

Geez, no patients book in this Thurs.*sian half*
Maybe I should take the opportunity to check out the Bali tickets. KH - one of very very good dude friends needs a escapade from *ah hem* a girl.
Then if the weather is good I wanna go check out the swimming complex.

My typical dinner(Curry hokkien stir-fry noodles)

SO do you think I can be a perfect housewife and yet not desperate? *sniggles*
I cook everyday for myself after work. I don't believe eating too much outside food for one thing it is too expensive to pay here for one meal and usually I can't finish the large portion of the food here.

I got a 6 year-old boy came in for flatfeet. The boy is sure a smartie. Can tell me exactly where the pain on his feet is. Unlike some adults, worst than kids who do not know what their problems are.My radiologist friend stated this:" Clinic is like a prositution- you have to give ya best and still theyhave to bitch about it - especially women who are not really sick in the first place".
So funny... ...

Cheap deals

Went to a hospital for a quick interview today. The good thing being a podiatrist is "you are wanted everywhere." So I forsee I'll start the job next month. hurhur!!

Since the shopping mall is just around the corner of the hospital, I've managed to get a cheapie deal on a white long sleeved blouse. Since there is a bit of (probably make up stain) near the collar, I asked for a new piece.
As usual, most (or 99%) of the sales assistants will say this quote:" sorry, that's all the sizes we have. Very popular the top." Errr, ok lor. I requested to have it checked out at other stores. She politely replied:" if you like it so much, I give you another 10% discount on the discounted price."
Wah!!
I bought it straight away. Since it's white, can bleach the top easily.

Think I am so sian in Australia. Can't believe it. Going back to Singapore is not having a holiday at all. I need to go somewhere else........

How to meet new friends (guys)

My receptionist said:" you should go out more often."

My receptionist's dad said:" you should go to a trendy bar!"

Another fellow podiatrist said:" no, maybe you should wait for a young and handsome bloke to come into the clinic and then you can drop dead from there."

The orthotic lab technician said:" have you been to that xxx club? There is a lot of young people hanging out there.."

Geez, I am giving an impression to all these people that I need to get a life.

Just a joke to share:
My receptionist added on:" If they can put a man on the moon, why can't they bring the rest of the men up there?"

Hurhur. Bad men should be exile up to the moon then.

You Frigging Bitc*

That refers to my previous landlord.She refused to return me my bond money. Say will return it but for the bloody 2 weeks, no news from her. By tomorrow, she and her ex husband can get ready to receive a summon for tribunal court hearing. Even though it's only a few hundred dollars, the money still doesn't belong to you beeech! Cannot stand people who are not being honest. Wait till karma falls on you KNNCCB si ABNN (if you don't know the latter abbreviation, just ask me).

VN and myself were discussing about our potential christmas gateaway. We wanna go to whitsundays (in Queensland- very beautiful island where lotsa couples got married there) and Great kepple island. Initially, we thought may be a bad idea to see so couples here and there. Then again, you never know where there may also be a few hot bods which deserve my drools on them. hurhur!! I'll make sure I'll bring a few bikinis set plus high SPF sunscreen along. Heh, 2 girls and a road trip.That would be loads of fun.

I miss the beaches in Perth...

Did I tell you I was in love with the Gypsy skirts nowadays?

Got this piece of very important information from this old lady patient of mine:

" if you want to buy a retirement village, you gotta pay a lump sum with a minimal cost from AU$75000. Then you have to pay about 170 bucks for every 2 weeks for maintainence cost.*fair enough*" As you can tell, I've already forsee my spinster mode and not interested to get hook up in near future.

Most boring weekend

Spent most of the time boiling the herbs to drink to improve my health. It is awfully bitter to drink but at least I don't feel as lethargic as I was yesterday. Otherwise, I'm spending the rest of my time uploading pics, chatting with VN and doing my tax stuffs.

Sissy sent me this bloglink:
http://tristefemme.blogspot.com
It is about this girl who chose to put up about her unwanted pregnancy on a blog. Very interesting blog that one should read on how the guy left once he found out she was pregnant. I still remember when I was a young and innocent 18year old nursing student, I was being put on a placement at a local women's hospital. I can never forget seeing aborted fetus in the treatment room. The fetus scene at the hospital always remain in my head. Don't know why and like I always tell myself, if you are not ready to deal with the consequences, then don't have sex. Yes, some people may say it's hard to control the emotions or rather think with your brain especially at the sparks of moment. I don't mind becoming a single mum once I'm ready plus no takers . 9 out of 10 guys I've met are either too thrashy or trying to get me laid. So what's the point of waiting for the right one.This is too hard......
Now I just wanna work hard, save enough money and buy a retirement village.

My body feels like a jelly

After stuffing so many western drugs for the past one week, my whole body feels so weak, so not energetic plus think I've slimmed down now. My pants is soo loose and I dislike that feeling. Everyday is plain porridge for all meals since I got not much appetite to eat.I miss mom to take care of me especially when I am so sick. She rang a couple of times to see if I am ok. And that's the pic of her which I took when I went back to Singapore. Oh that's my top she is wearing. Since it is too big for me, she can have it then. Mom always say I work too hard and yet all the bling goes to see the Dr. In fact, besides working mon-fri at the clinic, I am locuming at another clinic on Saturday. No choice, the burden of my brother's university fees is coming next year... ...

The people at the work place tried their best to take care of me each and anyway possible. Greg made me a cuppa hot lemon, Kylie- another fellow podiatrist always offer to make me a cuppa tea, the receptionist bought me some lamingtons.

Supposed to get a repeat dose of Augmentin tablets but the more I ate those antibiotics, the more nausea I get. Went over to see a traditional chinese physician and gave me 3 packets of herbs (that look like a bundle of roots, scrubs, and leaves) to be boiled and consumed. Then this Chinese Dr commented that I am in a good profession. Should get a chance to set up my own clinic if possible. He sorta relate how TCM (traditional chinese medicine) relates to the importance of feet. Yah, will set up my own clinic ultimately but I hate to forgo my holiday. The best is still marrying off someone rich and old and dying soon.

I am depressed because... ...

1) I am still sick.Never felt so miserable with flu, cough and fever.

2) I can't re-schedule a ingrown toenail surgery. I told the receptionist to change that but she claimed that it's not easy for patients to take time off for the procedure. *eyes roll up* What about me? What if I faint just because I can't breathe through the mask and will you be the one responsible?

3) pimples - they can never be your best friends.

4) whatever I cook and yet I can't taste it due to severe block nose.

5) I have to pay $ for flu tablets

6) my tax has not been done.

Just moved *again*

Finally,got myself a little nice one unit granny flat after struggling to find a place given like a week's notice to move out at the previous place. Will upload the pics of my new place for my blog fans to view later.

Got my connection set up today.Whee!!

On the down side, I am sick with fever, sore throat, blocked nose. Can't see the rest of the patients in the afternoon and managed to get Kylie to take over me. Met this Asian Dr from Malaysia and he even recommend a few good eating places in Sydney. As we all know, Asians can't get enough of good food. He suggested that I should live and settle down in Oz rather than going back to SG which he finds the latter too restrictive with rules.He even asked how many kids i have!?? Erm, a bit funny lor, he called out my name as "Miss XXXX" initially.

Sigh* Each time when I get so sick, I wish mom is next to me..... Can't talk to my patients properly. My throat just hurts each time when I tried to talk.

Off to bed for now to curb my misery.
