Run babey

I ran 5km with a bunch of disabled people who will be taking part in competitive marathons events coming up soon.They can run amazingly fast okay?!

Again before the run, I did quick check on their feet and footwear assessment as well.

It was all good.

***************

My mom misplaced my one and only running shorts in my brother's cupboard.
Pissed me off. My bro has got a small butt and how can she expect my bro to fit well into my shorts.

Next shopping list:
1) new glasses
2) new running shorts x 1 pair
3) running singlets
4) pumps - I don't know why but I can never find shoes that fits my feet in Singapore. ; (
Bata and other girlie shops are out of questions.

Motive or not

I've got a doc who recently caught up with me in regards about our patient's current treatment plan. So, it all began with a phonecall, followed by emails, smsing (mainly work related stuffs)
And today,we went for lunch for the 2nd time.


I was wondering.......

Is he trying to get me to see more of his patients and that's why he's been treating me so nicely.

*puzzled*

Out of town

Went for a gateway to KL over the weekend. Got home about 6pm. Caught the bus at Golden Mile (it's like a mini thailand in Singa) at 9pm to KL. Tour agency screwed up my hotel booking. I almost went beserk when they didn't even prepare my tour voucher before hand. At that moment, I wish I have the strength to overturn their furnitures (think about having Xmen's power) and break it into pieces.

M was a great companion for the trip. Bet those muscular arms of his must have caught the attention of some ladies and most men in Malaysia. Walking through the Petaling St markets was probably the worst experience for him. There's this Malay pacik went like :" Strong man, Singlet for you Sir. Come come, strong singlet." There is another pacik said like this: " Hye, mate, come on mate, Handbag for your wife/gf sir."
Gosh, those paciks just can't resist squeesing his arms. LOL
M felt he has been partially 'molested' then.

Met JC for lunch. Finally after all these years of keeping in touch, we met and chatted. And met again the following morning for breaky with 2 more new friends.

M and myself headed down to Aloha club on the Saturday night. M was thinking that since we were dressed up like a beach bum, there is no way the club can reject us. I looked so sloppy in my red Havanias, white skirt and a Zara dark pink shirt. Well, I suppose M being the ang moh, the club doesn't mind if he dressed down to the nines.
We ended up meeting a bunch of KL girls and boys and partied till 3am or 2am?

so tired la!

My beloved patient said .....



"I think this job not suitable for you lah. You should become a flight stewardess. Suits u more"

- Wow, this auntie enjoyed giving good career advice.


*****************

A senior Dr started dishing out sharp blades to patients so they can help themselves to remove the hard skin on their feet. I'm so frigging pisssed. So what the fug the Dr still refer the pts to me for what?
Contraindicated my job scope. Knncb.

No exercise

Of all the days in the week, why must it rain on weekends!? Means no rollerbalding or swimming or running.
Neber mind.
Saturday was rather busy for me.
Got paid to surf net the whole morning, sent my Aussie friend to the airport, followed by (window) shopping in Orchard with urchinstabber.
I've just subsidised 100% on my bro's fees. My friend commented that I could have get a number of Gucci bags lar for myself.
When the GST is increasing to 7% in July, I'll be paying more extra blings *sob*.
Not as if my pay is going to take a hike anyway.
A long-time friend from whom I've known in Perth text me if I wanna head down to Cannery. I thought I would have to give it a miss as I'm not keen paying cover charge to get into a club and drink.

Few hours later, my high school mates asked if I wanna head down to winebar. The best part of of the night was for every citibank cardholder, you pay 1 for 1 on the drinks whole night long. Woohoo!!
Left the club at 2am and saw a few Xiao didis (young boys) and Xiao mei meis (young ladies) puking along the road, Tsk tsk. How can they get piss until such state?? So xia suay man!( ultimately embrassing).

Toilet story

There was this ABNN lady ,who works at the clinic oppsite where I'm at, kaopeh at me. Wtf! She kaopeh-ed at me when I was in the middle of doing no.2.
KNNCCB!
She even questioned me that if I'm someone from record office. So what if I'm from record office which means I can't use the public toilet opposite my clinic is it??!!!?

How bizzare!!!!

If she disturbs me at again tomorrow when I'm using the toilet, I'll definitely ask how much she has paid for the toilet cubicle. Or should I throw a 20cent coin at her for using this toilet.

hmmm.........


********************
Frigging Dr Dua Lokun wants me to see his patient in again tomorrow just because he couldn't handle his 'princess' 's rubbish requests anymore.

FABulous weekend

:Saturday:

Peagirls and myself had an arrangement to be out for drinking at a local club. Was abit nerve-wrecking for a start as I know the peagirls (girls whom I've known from blogs) have already met one another. Friendships amongst themselves were pretty well-established prior my homecoming. I wasn't sure if I would feel rather odd or not for an instance.

I've not stepped into any clubs for ages in Singapore. So far I've given MOS's fashion bar a go.

That's pretty much about it. When age catches up, I find it more difficult to stay up till late and partay like what the youngthings are doing.

Madpot and her friend, Midori reminded me of those days where I always enjoyed clubbing with a gf. Just both of us dancing through the night with minimal drinking.

Ting and JD were like snoozing on the couch. Like what I've mentioned earlier, ages does catch up. Once in a while, we do need abit of rest before the energetic mood sets in.

I love the feeling of standing up on the platform doing the retro moves with FF and the girls. So synchronised and happening. "chugeder" ya know.

I didn't manage to snog anyone that night ;p

It was good fun still.

:Recuperating Sunday:

Not so really. Went swimming with bro and played basketball with his mates. Fanstastic opportunity to burn out those million of calories I've accumulated from the drinking session.

Mr Aussie asked me out for drinking at Clark Quay. Hate the idea of rejecting him but was too tired to hang out.

我的心声

Middle aged ladies are the toughest group of customers which I find it hard to handle sometimes. I feel totally drained especially after each consulation. No offence to the ladies who fall into such age gap.

They tend not to answer questions directly when asked.
Eg: When I ask if there's any specific pain on the foot, she will say like :" ya everywhere and all over my legs, back also. Sometimes the knees."

They tend to forget what they say.
Eg.
Me: I would think an xray will be necessary to rule out any other conditions on your feet.
SHE: Ya that would be better

*after xrays done

SHE: Aiyoh, why must wait for so long to know results. Must send for reporting immediately. Actually why I don't know why I need an xray leh.

Is there a necessity to kaopeh kaobu so much. Knn.

They like to ask questions over and over again.

SHE: I get the shoes first or insoles first. The shoes I have at home is normal one. Insoles looks so hard. Don't want to wear lah. But my foot still pain leh.How uh?

See, such patients always enjoy beating around the bush despite the fact that I've clearly explained the treatment plan.

What's worst.When they get confused, they refused to leave the clinic and think think think for a lonnnnnnnnnnnng time.

Let's recycle!


Since I've landed in Australia 7 years ago, I've been taught the importance of using a recycle bag for grocery shopping. Differentiate the rubbish from those recycle products vs non-recycled ones. In fact, it wasn't so much of hassel to do that.


Getting the idea of recycling in Singapore proves too much for the locals to handle. On the contrary, maybe I shouldn't be making such a generalised statement. Considering Singapore is a well-advanced and well-educated society, how can we not accept the concept of recycling easily? Don't we want our future generations to live in a less polluted enviroment ?


I can see what the enviroment department is doing its best by setting up recycle bins within reach of the locals. The million dollar question is: What is making the local people so reluctant to recycle?


Is it because they are lazy? Ignorant? Can't be bothered attitude? No time lah! - Singaporean's favourite excuse of all times.

Plastic bags in drink can recycle bin??

My assistant is a very good example of why she thinks recycling is not necessary.
She says:" I don't use air con, don't open fridge for too long. So that's ok what."


Me:" The amount of rubbish you dumped per day do take up space on our planet. So people get to incinerate those excessive rubbish and thus causing air pollution. If you and I don't think about recycling, your daughter's generations and after generations will have to pay for the price. Hence with on-going pollution, those thick black smoke will start to choke up their lungs. Quite sad that if million of others do think alike like you do."

My mom has set up a box solely for recycle glass and paper products at the kitchen area.

I've managed to grab a used- carton and placed it at my clinic for recycle purpose ; )
