Statistics


One more week before I'll  hand in this super duper *yawz* boring assignment. It's not funny to work and study postgrad at the same time. I salute to those who made it to the Masters while working full time. I think you guys must have some energizer formulated A+++ batteries to keep up with the workload.. For me, I'll be happy just to settle for a postgraduate certificate. Ever since the study took off, there is literally NO life in my life. There is always classes or assignment to be done almost every week. Hardly had the chance to do "nothing". 
I've exercised lesser, taking part less races, less volunteer activity, less travel, less hanging out with friends while my tummy feels rounder *boing*  (i mean, those nasty abdominal fats).
Due to my tight schedule, I shop online quite frequently. In fact, I'm planning to get all my chrissy pressies online too.That would be so much easier to get it delivered to my place instead ;p
I'm comtemplating of signing up for Singapore Duathalon. The early bird fees are ridiculously expensive. For a full race, it costs about 70 bucks just to join. 


Wonder how this Christmas would be like for me this year? I've got my dress ready to be worn at the church though.

Stay awake, praying at all times for the strength to survive all that is going to happen, and to hold your ground before the Son of man.'

Prayer for my little Bro




It was unfortunate that he met with an accident without any serious injuries.


"Thank you Lord for your saving grace falling upon my bro. He did not suffered any massive or minor injuries under the wing of your protection. You are our saviour, our salvation and our redeemer. I pray to  Lord that he will live until the day that he chose to believe in Your work. And blessed those people who were involved in the accident. Have mercy on us and so we can continue to work in Your Will. "
In the name of the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit
Amen.
===========================

Only for His Glory

I trust that the Lord has been with me all these while. In fact, something bizzare just struck into my mind today. Believe it or not. I've cried 3 times at different churches  when I got upset over the fact that he is probably not the one. I'm not trying to judge the person here. Just saying it from my observation, his practices and believes on his faith are quite the opposite.

I'm quite tired today.....especially working in an enviroment where the senior lacks of experiences in terms of management.

Hebrews 11:1


My relationship with Mr K had ended 3 months ago. My parents couldn't be more happier with the news. Afterall, they felt that he didn't have the capability to look after me. What's more talking about spending the life with him forever.


Life moves on and I look forward to complete my postgraduate certification course. The good thing which came out of this relationship is I'm acepted as a child of God. I was on the verge on giving up the rite of baptism but managed to found the comfort in Him. It was one of the most painful decisions but it didn't take me too long to make the right one ;)
Work has been a real shit. I don't understand that it is tough enough to get recognition coming from a small populated healthcare professional like mine, the locals are still out there to 'kill' each other down. It is like everyone is taking their chances to shoot everyone down ( in angry bird style). 
sigh*


I was hinting to my dad that I wanna move back to Aust next year. He is certainly quite unhappy about it.


Decisions decisions.......

Feeling lost

I'm having one of those negative feelings on our relationship again. Why some guys can claim that they've found the love of their lives and yet, some are always feeling so lost.
I'm attending this Catholic class. On one hand, I do love God. On the other, I feel as though I'm tight down and yet I can't tell he's the right one for me or not.
Why can't I have a decent normal family life on my own?
Why must I wait for something which seems like forever?
Why can't he have a better foresight towards future?

;(

Where is my happiness?

How can I fall in love with someone who is already in his mid 30s and yet not ready to have his own family. I should rephrase this: " not keen to have a family of his own".
I don't wanna to be lead on in this relationship anymore.If this issue never get resolve,I am not mentally to think about settling down with him.
I tested him that will he have any issue having me to further studies? He said that's fine. How can it be fine when he said we can still get married after 3- 4 years or so?
My eggs are not probably in a good shape to get fertilised by then.
I've always feel that if a person never feel like having a kid, then chances are that person will never get a kid in regardless. I believe kid's issue can be quite ticky in terms of compromising.

What's the point to be married and remain childless? I still feel that I'll be all by myself when I get old and crippled. Might as well just stay single for now.

I was willing to give up my Aust PR and stay with him if we ever have plans to get settle down within these 2 years. However, the future seems bleak.........

I've come to my acceptance that I have to remain single for the rest of life as He wants me to.

There's a thing called Love

Moving on into my 8-month relationship with Mr K. Everything seems fine until we chatted about our future. We are already in our mid 30s. OK close enough to get to that range. He verberlized that he wants to date me a bit longer before deciding on the proposal. I must clarify at this point that I'm not asking for any propose marriage but really, we need to synchronise our thoughts on what we want in our future. And this doesn't mean it require just a day to plan. Rather, both parties need to be honest and upfront about their exchanged views.
At this stage, I felt our focus on relationship is very different.
The future of having a marriage life, housing and kids seem to be almost an impossible with him. I'm not sure if I can live with that.
I've been constantly try and psycho myself that "marriage is not for everyone and if He (as the creator) has planned my life to be single and unmarried".

He said if I don't mind paying 35% and him paying 65% on the wedding/housing cost.

I've always believe it takes a real man would know how to take care of everything for his beloved.

Big plans

The plan is to leave out of Singapore in another 1-2 years time.

I recalled once there was a newspaper article stating that Singapore is leaking talent as reported by SM Lee (?) Not that I don't love my own country, I guess I've seen better working conditions, better appreciation from patients and better pay rates in another place. One of the main reasons which I chose to return back in the first place was family and friends. Read: Not working enviroment.

Let me give you another example. Whenever I faced a difficult case, I can approach the Dr for a proper discussion. Over here, high flyer Drs always think their assessment/judgement is right.My views are only just secondary.  And of course, there will always be 1 or 2 nice and humble ones around but rare.

Hospitals seem to be focusing more on 'prompt service & affordable (another alternative to 'cheap') healthcare. Is managing a hospital much similar to a 5 star hotel? Is it really necessary? Why are we doing so much and yet trying to keep healthcare costs at a reduced level?
Ironically, isn't this accomdating to the public's concept on ''ai pee ai qi'' (in hokkien, want cheap and fast)

On the lighter note, I've been dating with Mr POW for the last couple of months.
For the sake of being together, I may not be able to return to my favorite place anymore...
It is a hard decision. There is still some time left though.

The reason

I've stopped blogging for awhile because there has been so many things happening in my life.

To summarize, here's the list of my 'happenings' after my last entry.

- Went back to Perth for a few months and work.
- Started work at a new place
- Travelled to Zurich/Australia
- More talks to give
- Dating ( did someone mention something about SG boys? -_-)
- Run, swim, run , swim
- Meeting more new friends
- Started doing E dance
- Reading His words

I do miss my life in Perth......

Watch this space

Because I'm back!

Public speaking

I think I've developed a new phobia called 'publicphobicspeaking"

I realised that I'm not able to gather my thoughts well enough and formed into nice flowing sentences. As much as I enjoyed talking to my clients, I never like the idea of speaking in front of whole audience.

*sigh* I didn't really screw up. In fact, I was thrown with more questions than any other speakers!

Glad this is all over now.

***********

I've managed to completed my very first triathlon 2 weeks ago! This is probably the best race I've ever enjoyed and at the same time experiencing the whole 'muddy' business. I was still tossing and turning in my bed at 7 yish in the morning. Since it was raining cats and dogs at that time, I was just thinking about giving up attending the race. As I was trying to get a cab with my bike to East coast, lots of cabs just refused to stop for me ok? knn......

*********

I was making plans to leave for Australia next year. Now the current aussie currency is so shitty.#%*()#$%

What's the news

I've not been blogging as much as I would like. Unlike all those times in Aust, my updates were fairly done on a regular basis.
For the past few months, I've had a couple of visitors from Perth and Lausanne (Switzerland).
On the other hand, I'm training for my very first triathlon coming up in Nov. Weekends are mostly spend on biking, swimming or running. My last race with New Balance was kinda challenging coz it's more of a trail run. That involved running on different terrains such as the beach, mud and road.
I'm quite satisfied with my results for being the top 7o out of nearly 800 participants. Woohoo!!
Most of my colleagues felt that my future Mr Right doesn't mean he needs to wear checkered (ooo my favourite dressing for guys ;p) shirt . He needs to know how to race with me too!

I'm procratinating on doing up my slides for the presentation *whine whine whine*.
Instead of having 2 speakers before me, I have to wait for 3 speakers to get done before my turn to present the talk. I hope the target audience won't be suffering too much with their heavy eyelids ;p

**********

Wanna complain!!

Why there are some motorists think that riding on park connectors is prefectly ok? Maybe the LTA can encourage the public to send in pics of those illegal motor riders and so a fine could be issued to their homes. Obviously these motorists haven't got a slightest clue that they can put the public in grave danger.

There seems to be an increased number of drivers who have forgotten to on their headlights while driving at night. Very very bad!

***********

Maternal instinct? Tick tock?

One of my regular clients will come in monthly for her health check. This grandson of hers is an absolute darling. Never failed to give me a 'squeaky 'kiss on my cheek towards the end of consult. I feel soooo soo loved!!! Then again, he's such a hyperactive child which I don't think I can handle it for too long. Hurhur!

GP forum

I got arrowed for a talk............. *cold feet*

First Tri

Hope I don't stuff up my very first sprint Triathlon event in Nov ......

Showers of gifts

The company has a policy whereby if any staff receives any gifts or special items, they would need to put up a declaration form and submit to their respective bosses. Upon CEO's approval, you may only accept the item with a small token out of your own pocket.

The most 'exotic' item I've ever received was a furry lion pencil case. My client is such a darling. He thought since he hasn't got any grandchildren, my 'son' will be able to make full use of the pencil case when he goes to school.

Mr J is my regular client. To be honest, I hope he doesn't find me too long winded each time when he comes into the practice. ;p Even though he was under some medical social assistance, I was quite taken by surprise that he brought 2 boxes of noodles for me (and my assistant).

Another one sat on a wheelchair giving out the mooncakes to me from her hands.

Feeling so blessed ! xx

You look so young!

I like the fact that most of my clients think I look more like at the age of 25.

There's another said that if I were to be walking down the road, he thought I would be working in some cosmetic department. hohoho.

*****************
Cocktail shaker: I wanna purchase that!

When I was at the uni, I took up a bar course from a recreation club in University of Western Australia. There was a time that I wish I had the time to work as a barmaid at a pub or something. So that my skills won't be washed down the drain.
Or rather, I don't really mind being a 'coyote ugly' too ;p

Housemaid horror

I was at Parkway earlier since there was an Isetan sale going. The place was thronged with uncles, prams, childrens and more aunties than ever. Buay ta han. Those middle aged ladies are the worst lot of shoppers. They scrambled for the correct size on the clothings or chucked the unwanted stuffs right in front of the pile that you're looking at.



When I was at Watson's looking at some shower gels, I overheard *again* this middle aged ladies (50s and above that's somewhat I considered middle aged, ho ho ho ) was scolding her maid in front of the cosmetic department. How embrassing is that! I can see the maid was looking rather upset with face looking down. Why can't that auntie bring her to one side and talk to her instead? She is not A kid. Afterall, even if she could have really done something wrong but there could be better way of solving the issue besides raising her voice in front of the crowd?



That's the thing about living in Singapore. You don't have (huma) rights. People can go all the way and discriminate your looks, your culture, your race and everything. So if someone says your mole is ugly in front of you, then that's just too bad. Live with it or do something about it (eg, mole curettage??)

Recently, one of my girlfriends decided to ask her maid to pack her bag and leave for good. The reason was that she has been using phone to call back to her own country during wee hours in the morning. Rather than getting pissed over it, my gf would rather send her away for good. Afterall, baby's safety is her first priority in regardless of what happened.

Skinny jeans

Can't believe my bro is wearing that......

Back from reality

I had a wonderful vocation in Down under. It was great catching up with some friends. It was also my pleasure to meet Magic ( Rach's darling) and 3 of us had a nice cold chilly morning walk together. I must admit I've been pretty slow on my blog. Not much of interesting stuffs to write anyway.


Is this a calling?

*After the consult*
Patient X: " God bless you dear"


*During the consult*
Patient Y:" Why you never go to my son's church? you only been once? that's not enough. Must go there n meet all the young people.?"

-_-


Mr Buaya

He's back! Mr B asked me out for dinner again. Friends have said that if I'm not interested in him , I shouldn't have gone out with him at all.
It's just a dinner. That's how I looked at it.

Get set, ready and GO!

One of my clients was quite funny. He actually put on his timer and see how long his consult was with this practitioner.

Time taken for the consult was 1.5mins
Waiting time to be seen: 2 hours

He went like this:" WAH liew eh, my condition can be viewed in such a short timing lor."

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

I'm still tired from all the fun and activities I had since the last weekend.
