Investments
No work at private pratice today. So that would leave me half a day's job at the prison. This is another prison which I'll be working once every month. Guess what, finally I got to treat one of the worst feet that I ever come across. NO predjuces or racists against any ethnicity or culture. This prisoner X, an aboriginal from the bush never cut his toenails before and suffering from a really bad foot hygience and odour +++. On the verge of puking? All I can say is I could have ask for a high filtrate mask. Not bad seeing 10-12 patients for 3 hours session.
Actually, I feel that treating prisoners are no different to treating any clients except there may be a boundry in our conversations where I will communicate or explain their foot problems and nothing else personal. Getting this sort of contract work has taught me to be sensitive and empathic towards others. It is also my concern that they get the best foot treatment whenever possible. One of my pod friends advised me that don't bother to chat with them. Then again, at least, they still have the right to know what is going on with their feet and learn about the treatment options avalible .
Seen a Dr yesterday for my block nose. Dr wrote me a script of Augmentin just in case I get worst over the weekends and need something to relieve. Ah HUH. I bought a pack of sudafed. At least it helped but makes me super groggy. 2 tabs I'll be in bed in less than 15mins time.
Petrol prices hitting up over a dollar per litre now. *sian*
Right now I am looking into this website to see if anything is worth to invest on. I do realise that keeping money in the bank is not the solution for money growth.

Spit!
That's how thick my green phelgm is...Don't get too digusted.My nose is so blocked and painful at the tip of it. Probably allergic to the Australian air at the moment.
Perth is celebrating Senior Citizen's week. The senior place where I worked today was filled with lots of older folks (of course!) having fun with the games plus luncheon/tea as organised by the committee of shire. I also wanna grow old gracefully! Heh, growing old to the extent that I am still able to walk and see which I'll be more than happy. I had this old lady coming in presenting with evidence of sand dirt on her feet. She still has the cheeks to tell me that she is not wearing shoes during gardening.After noticing a few spot of bruises on her feet, I pressured on those sites and she obviously said it was sore. There you go, the rewards for not wearing shoes. DUH* What a crap of the day.
The health recruitment agency from Singapore sent me an email for the post of podiatrist. Well, no harm giving it a try and I have sent the CV over. Shall see how it goes. Salary is negotiable but only 21 days of leave ;<>
Wah, so impressive that KH managed to send me his darling (real) pic to me..Thanks for the effort! I wanted to give you a reward but you just had to reject it anyway ;p Yes yes I got the hint. Bleah*

Law Breakers
It's been quite a while since I've last update my blog. Been quite busy working and resting.Started my new prison contract and I truly enjoy treating the law breakers. Either you love it or hate it. It was quite daunting for me but that fearness went as soon as I call the 1st prisoner into the consultation room.
**Note to self:
How can I not spend time for exercising?! Bugger that.
Here's the recap of what's happening:
Saturday: WA Podiatry conference.
Where all the foot practitioners gather together to attend talks and exhibitions by various drug companies and also not forgetting the foot salesmen. Yay* Get half price for shoes only for podiatrists . Met lots of people and particularly someone which I can't be bothered to even associate myself. He hasn't bloody pay me for the 10 clients which I hate the idea putting pig's head in front of his clinic.*sigh* If only I got $ to hire a loanshark ;p Otherwise, got heaps of freebies of chocs and foot moisturiser.
Sunday: Bum around with Anna in the city *yawns*
Going to disconnect.....more later..

I feel the earth movvvvved.....
If you are a retro babe like me, you know know the title of this song.
Oh I survived today..yippee* Totally exhausted running 5 places all in one day.
Singapore recruitment agency emailed me and asked if I wanna work in Singapore. Well, somehow, I feel very strongly I need another year of experience for my career..Very crucial part and of course, who doesn't want the patients to be at their best.

Recovery
Finally, after a bout of sore throat and serious blocked nose, I am finally getting better. Think my body just need recuperate periods after being so sick for the past few weeks.
Louis, my SQ steward friend flew in to Perth last Saturday. To think that we'll never meet again or suppose to meet in Melbourne because that is the place where he's doing his degree, we did in the end. Heh, thanks to him for helping me to bring stuffs from my parents. We had a ball of time going to city tour, king's park, checking Hot dudes at the beach together and shopping. Uh oh, I bought more glitter tops which I shouldn't spend more money unnecessarily. Girls.....*eyes roll up*
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. Half a day at senior centre and after that will be running to several places to get my stocks. *dreads* plus, grocery shopping pehaps on Tuesday. Tomorrow is gonna be 29 degrees celsius. Brillant weather not to be missed for my power walk because the following few days, the weather will change to early 20s.
Need a rest again....heh, even though I had a 3 hour nap this arvo.

Steriods
Feeling much better after seeing the Dr on last Monday plus, she gave me Prednisolone tabs for free.Prior to that, I actually breifly mentioned that I was going to be broke soon spending money on anti-histamines which doesn't work well on me. Geez, it's been a long time I felt this sick....just think having asthma without wheezing. My previous weekends has had been spent resting at home and no crowded/smoking places.
In the meantime, I have sorted out my paper works with the prisons and done my homework on where to get the best deal for medical supplies. Also running to the chemist so that she can make up a mixture or paste of salicylic acid in 60% concentration. A bit tiring along the way but I hope it's all worth it.
I am so in love with the glitter tops nowadays. Planning to get 2 more and also don't know why I am so fascinated by glitter beads. In fact, anything that shines like a disco ball. Minstry of sound event coming to Metro on the 29th OCt with the ticket price is $63.00+. Who to go with......that's what I always ask myself. Too dangerous to go alone because of the higher incidence of spiking drinks here. *sigh* think I would rather get the MOS chillout session 6.
Mr B came in for a routine podiatry visit last Wed. He's quite a nice veteran and never fails to mention that I should be a foot surgeon for each visit. *lol* Well, my main interest is still in diabetic foot care and wish I could get a better grip to learn more techniques of healing/off -loading pressure from those ulcer areas.
This is not my best blog.....because i am getting a bit sleepy.

URTI
Upper respiratory tract infection. That's what I think I may be getting it right now. I am still as sick like I was 3 weeks ago except with a milder sore throat. Most likely I have to see a Dr again next week. Steriods is what I need to reduce the swelling and inflammation. Likewise, Dr Angelmon (Tomas-my dear med friend) also commented the same thing. I don't understand the mentality or the treatment of Australian Drs - far too incompetent. Their treatment process seems to take ages and very often, a diagnosis can only be made after a couple of tests. Then again, if the Drs can't partly being reliable on their judgement and assessment, most of the patients would have to suffer with illnesses in a longer period of time. Perhaps, some patients may even deteriorate while doing or waiting for the tests to be carried out. That's just my perspective. To think that I was down with a terrible cough and fever 2 months ago. All the Dr gave was just antibiotics. Went back to him 2nd time, I was no better and he wants me to take x-ray, spirometry tests and so on..... I did mentioned to him if he can give me any symptomatic relieve medications. How can I sleep with a bad cough and not having a good quality of life if goes on everyday like this? He didn't get the point....... so he just asked me to go home with more antibiotics.
2 months later, I am back to the same old problem. Dr's appointment is most likely on Monday.
Hate being so sick and it's bad enough to wake up every morning with a blocked head and nose plus green sputum.
I wanna fly back to Singapore !!!!

Zap!
Woke up in the morning feeling groggy and heaviness in my head. My blocked nose syndrome's getting bad to worst! Found a last tab of Sudafed plus a panadol in my medical kit. Felt slightly better after taking those meds.
Worked in the afternoon and boss spoke to me for a while. Ok, let me get this straight. He criticised me for writing a poor Dr's referral:
"
Mr x attended the podiatry clinic on 7/10/04. He presented with reddness, swelling and inflammation of left 2nd toe (?gout). Please kindly assess and provide treatment if necessary."
On the serious note, I find that this referral is short and sweet , direct to the point. Which Dr would bother to take more than 5 mins to read a referral or as if an essay is required here. The boss thinks that I should use the brackets and instead, I should write something like this :" the signs and symptoms appear to be like gout. " So with this sentence, it will make the referral sounds nice and flowy. Duh* That's the thing working in private practice. Everything has to be perfect as it seems. I've worked in several place/clinics and written a number of referrals to Dr and surgeons even. In general, his comments are not strong enough to back up where the problem lies on my referral.
By the way, I was very glad that I save a patient's toe! It all began from having 2 small pockets of pus on her 3rd toe plus she has always been very healthy without any medical problems. The Dr told her that she could have suffer from terrible ulcers if not treated promptly. Neither did she felt any pain nor discomfort from those ulcers. The Dr was impressed that I've noted this early and of course, my pt was so thankful throughout. 'Small' things certainly can make a big difference.
In addition, read from the Straits Time online that Singapore is going to set a full -pledged podiatry centre! That means all the diabetic patients may stand a better chance from not having foot /lower limb amputations with regular diabetic footcare and screening tests.

No particular 'favouritism' as listed in random order:
- VN: Ok, both of us can crown as the Queens of Msn or Icq. Hurhur. It's been great yakking to you all these years and at least, I know my teeth are in the safe hands of yours....* I think* ;p My favourite 'DJ' of all times who doesn't mind sending me songs via my crappy dial up internet. Who ask you to have a poor pod friend here....*sigh* Where are all the old rich and dying soon Ah peks -Please stand up!
- KH: I must say you are one of the guys who is filled with the highest level of patience. Great advices from you and nonetheless, you have also taught me to look at things in certain perspectives.
- Eliza: It's amazing how our friendship slowly started off. You are a great girl and don't stop being yourself!
- JS: My 'virtual' Dr. Never fails to help me to solve and answer all sorts of medical questions. Tell me what's new besides your 'sick' craps ;p Thanks for sharing your moments of your personal life and work. Still, I hope you would perserve in whatever you do and not get bog down by some worthless people. Seriously, I don't wish to lose another med friend via the transition from a HO to MO ( Unfortunately, a very good med friend of mine had succumbed to the working enviroment that turned him into an impatience and bad-tempered person ......that I don't even want to know him anymore).
- Susan/Yvoone: Appreciate your time to chat. I know you guys are busy earning money and uh, rollerblading at East Coast Park without me! *sniff sniff*
- Clarisa: We are certainly miles and miles apart.While you are in UK and I am in Down Under.*bleah* Looking foward to the day that we'll meet again!
- #Medicine Friends: You know who you are...........
- Callie: Glad you quit CGH, hopefully to catch with you more often.
- Dk: thanks for being there........ ;O)
- Rea (from Hungary): we talked about anything under the sun.... family, boys, work, study.It is also quite irony that everytime when I said I am going to have my dinner, you are having ya lunch then.
.....ok, I can't write anymore.....Anti-histamine is 'playing up' on me ..Zzzz

Ah Jan in Town.
Sunday's recap:
Woke up at 9am just to return $8 to a friend whom she claimed that I didn't paid for my share on the last dinner. Wtf* I didn't rang her today to arrange for a coffee session because I just don't want to associate with such person no more.
Met up with Jan later in the afternoon. As this is her first flight to Perth, I brought her for a quick city tour and harbour town. It was a good catch up for both of us and dinner was at Hog's Breathe Cafe that is supposedly to have the best steak in town. Had coffee at Leederville and HipE was packed with ang mohs on Sunday except Jan and myself being like the only Asians around. In the end we went over to Niche Lounge (right next to Hip-e) which plays nice soothing drum and bass/acid Jazzy music. Quite fun staying over Sheraton Hotel with Jan. She taught me how to use to certain beauty products for the face. Did nose peeling mask to remove the blackheads. *lol* Think I need to revamp beauty products soon. Thanks Jan! Such a shame that I don't get to do these girly stuffs as much as I want to.
Went back home after bidding goodbye Jan. Slept for an hour and went for a power walk along the causeway. Weather was fabulous which is not neither too hot nor cold.
Whee! I got new phone.Tee hee!
Maybe I'll miss watching Queer Eye this week. Bloody hsemate and his g.f always occupy the kitchen around that time. Annoys me. *bites*

What happens when you got a accountant friend?
Part 1:
It's THAT time of the month again. Besides suffering the effects of hormonal imbalance, I just spent the whole afternoon surfing straits time website and read up Sumiko Tan's articles. Generally, I find her writings are quite interesting, almost surreal, great sense of humour and most of the time she added on a few of her very own dramatic experiences in it.
Gosh, I need to take the laziness out of me.
My friend smsed me this afternoon. With the text message indicated like this :" you owe me $15 for the bar course as have to pay additional fees and also $8 for the dinner."Well, it's fair enough that I gotta pay for the extra dollars on the bar course which we took together. With the dinner thing, I was so astonished. As far as I could remember, both of us didn't have any change so she paid first and when I gave her the big note, she just nodded her head and refused it. With the non verbal cues, I took it as a treat from her then. Gosh* The dinner which we had was like almost a month ago. This friend of mine is leaving for Melbourne soon and she also asked if I want to meet her up for coffee or dinner. Of course for coffee! Just in case the same drama happens again. Who ask me to go out with an accountant!? On the other hand, I get a bit 'sensitive' whenever she asks if anyone of us would like to drive to go out. Just get it straight out man. Each time when I ask her what exactly do you really want , she would go on like :" oh can you drive?". Look, I don't bother to askunless I know I wouldn't wanna drive on that particular day.
Hence, I'll just get straight to her and say I'll pick you up at whatever time. Because I know she is trying to give me an option which doesn't turn out to be that way.
Part 2:
My housemate didn't flush the toilet bowl properly and hate the sight of seeing stuffs floating.......plus, wish he cleans up the damn fucking sink after shave. Too bad, all the shaved is wiped up with his toothbrush. Some people just never learn their lesson despite the efforts of telling them.
Part 3:
Maybe I have been watching too much Dr Phil on TV lately. I realised I also have been reading a lot about raising kids and the issues faced with them. Never know these may come in handy someday.....bleah*

Athlete's Foot
Here I am not describing about the condition (or called it Hongkong feet) on the fungal infection of the foot but it's just the name of the store which sells sports footwear.
I just came back a few hours ago from attending a private party organised by Athlete's foot and solely invitation extended to podiatrists only. The best thing about attending such little party is that at the end of the talks, the podiatrists are entitled to buy any shoes from the rack at a great discount of 45% off the retail price. I bought a pair of New Balance for Mom as her pair of Reeboks has been trashed into the bin ages ago. Plus, got a free 3/4 sleeved t-shirt from the new brand of sports shoes "Ryka" that caters only for sports woman and and plently of discount vouchers for my clients.
At least, I am on my way to recovery from getting a bad sore throat. Seen a dr yesterday and quite surprisingly , Amoxillin works well on me. After taking 3 tabs I think I am fit enough to go for a karaoke session ;p I have been taking a lot of rest especially afternoon naps this week. Think my body is protesting against me being too stressed last week.
Gonna take my time to flip through the catelogues from the suppliers before I start making an order for the stuffs I need to bring along to prison.
White water rafting postponed to November and I'll be going to Northam again next Friday. Hopefully I'll get some good pictures to paste on my tourist webpage.
Still thinking should I go for the State conference or not.........cost $145 a day....

My throat, My THROAT!
Most likely I am suffering from the post nasal drip. Started off from having a blocked nose, progressed to irriation of my throat that felt as if the mucous is falling back instead of blowing it out. Got a fever in the middle of the night that dragged me off the bed to take panadols which I felt slightly better the next day. I just keep my fingers crossed that I don't have to see a Dr here. After seeing a few Drs here for my past consultations, I find that most Aust. Drs are not competent enough to treat small sickness in time. For instance, I was down with a cough for 2 weeks. The doc wanted me to have an x-ray done and conduct a spirometry test on me to eradicate the diagnosis of asthma.Think by the time I got all the tests done and results out, I'll probably end up coughing my lungs out. Geez, the health care in Aust can be quite expensive simply by having a few tests done. Tha's why it is so important for the people here to get adequate health insurance cover. Dental charges can cost a minimum of $100 bucks per visit.
Spent most of my weekends lying on the bed except went out to Market with a Jap friend on Saturday.
Jan , the SQ girl is coming to meet me in Perth next Sun! yay* at least something to look forward to over the weekend.

Sealed with a Kiss
Since my dearest Tooth friend is too busy blogging away, I may as well blog the latest entry of my latest happening. In fact, nothing's too happening and perhaps, I am just exaggerating a little. Hurhur!
Went to hip-e club again last night. It was quite a crowd by the time when my crazy g.f and myself got there. Wasn't really lucky at all when I was with her yesterday. Firstly, she didn't lock my car door ( this could be the 2nd or 3rd time) and I wish she can be more vigilant about it. Next, how can she dropped a pen and caused a marked stain on my pants!? That could only happen like one in a million...grr* Enough of such craps. Moving on along, she got to know this Scottish Dude and another 29 year old Irish man. I wouldn't think the Scotts man is good-looking but armed with a dangerously sweet smile. Irish man looked as though suffering from jet lag or getting high on the booze throughout the night.
It was great with the dudes buying all the beers and yet, I have to stick with my .05 alcohol limit for driving. Neither the crazy girl knows how to drive BUT her drive with beers has improved so much from no taking of beers to 3 glasses yesterday.
Oh, the Scotts gave me a kiss (on my cheeks la!) before we left and the same goes to Irish dude..think he was half- drunk coz he kissed on my hairline.Bleah*
Today is my last day working at Canning Bridge Senior Centre.My last patient was kinda upset because she don't see the reason why the boss has to push all the clients for the morning only. For a moment, she thought I was going away. Well, I commented that cirumstances forced me to leave and therefore, I ain't got any choice.
Looking forward to the start of my prison work in Oct and hence, here is the list of things to do by next week:

- Hunting for a tool box that can accomodate my stuffs,
- Ring H to see where I can get cheaper stuffs
- Get a new street directory from RAC ( members pay only $18 instead of $25)
Hurhur!

What Do I see and feel on a Monday
My day started off working in a senior citizen centre and my hands were working non-stop from 9am all the way till 11yish snipping someone's toenails/scraping callous/eucleating corns for every 20 minutes. If I do get a 5 or 10 minutes break, I'll be busy scrubbing the instruments and topping up sterile water to the machine for autoclaving. And also trying to squeese a minute or two writing my patient's notes. Oh, another disabled Ah pek patient of mine (old man) tried to 'kiss' me in order to show his appreciation. Freaks me out a little definitely :<
Followed in the afternoon, I went over to another nursing home to work. Not everyone enjoys have their feet done. Some may yell and ask you to get lost. Others may even kick you onto your face. Some needs a little more coaxing in order to have them to sit still. Seriously,the longer I worked there, the capacity of my patience bulits up even greater. Some even asked me to cut their fingernails and I just do it without any hesitation. I can't stand long fingernails myself. It was then one of the carers started to ask me to look at her ingrown toenail. Heh, think I should start my own privatised business soon.
*New jobs alert: I'll be going to 3 prisons to work once a week based on rotation. Basically, I'll buy the basic supplies and charge them whatever I feel like for their respective treatments. At least, something to look forward to in October. That somehow makes me feel as though I am a businesswoman running 'mobile' clinics. At least, pay is heaps better than working anywhere else. In general, I would say it is not bad considering having working only 3-4 days a week and yet, being able to 'feed' myself.
Will be going for facial after my morning work tomorrow. Whee!
Thanks Susan! I have received the parcel from you today...of course, your name deserved a mention on my blog ;o)

Eye Balm : Clarins or Clinque?
I can't make up my mind whether which brand to use....So typical vainpot of moi ;p
Went to Chinese grocery shop along Vic Park. This auntie's son happened to be one of my podiatist's friend. Such a small world and she was so nice to give me her phone number so that I can pay her a visit.
Uncle L rang me that I need to redo my health checkup for the migration purpose. Geez, I felt as though I was being conned for my money again. So frustrating (at times) that the PR application seemed to be facing one hurdle after an another. I got a bad feeling that I may not go back to SG so soon until next year. That means I will have to spend Christmas, New year's and Chinese New Year here in Perth. *sob* Anyway, my parents are coming over to attend another convocation of mine in Feb 05. My plan is to return to SG before I turned 28. I've got long-term plans for my career back home and it's just a matter of having the guts to do it or not. For instance, setting up my own private practice, gaining recognition of the importance of footcare (especially patients with diabetes), reforming all nursing shoes ( trust me, they have sux-ed for years).
Then again, I hope to achieve a couple of objectives on my job prior returning home and that's why I refused to go back so early so that I can learn much skills/techniques from the more experienced pods here.
List of objectives:

- Improvement on nail surgery technique
- Curettage of warts
- Making of Dynasplints to offload pressure from the foot ulcers.
Am thinking of going to Bursewood tomorrow for Telethon - a fund-raising function for kids/ppl with cancer. But I hate the idea of going with my crazy g.f...just in case I get ripped off again ;p

Happy Notes
This is just one of the stories told by my patient on Tuesday. She is one of the most positive women I've ever met. As the story goes, she was a head nurse trained in UK where she also met her first husband that turned out to be a psychotic. Thus, one day she couldn't cope or living with his behaviours where the marriage ended 3 years later. She had 3 kids with him but one of the kids died in an accident plus she was the driver at fault. At this point, it must be pretty hard living with guilt in her. Then she went on to become an orthopaedic surgical head nurse where she met her second husband. The thing about the 2nd husband is he was married to another lady at that time. It wasn't until 6 years later, they've met in a practice and that's the time he realised that he couldn't live without her. Eventually, he got divorced with the former wife and married my patient. Unfortunately, the marriage died a year later with the surgeon husband contracted thyroid cancer. She loved him to death and vowed he was the most geninue and nicest man she ever met. *sniff* -->getting a little emotional here
From the last 70s, she became a widow ever since and throughout the years, she kept herself busy with choirs, going to classical concerts, visiting grandkids and doing anything in the world that she can to occupy her mind.
It's quite funny how she commented that she doesn't fancy the treatment from the previous pod coz she's big-sized and being not gentle enough. She always felt that the pod is going to take off her big toe. She even wanted to come to the private practice where I am working when the actual pod comes back from holiday.
Next, my Jap friend smsed me and maybe we're gonna meet up on Friday. Visited my former patients and I am going (together with his wifey) to Northam for a vintage car exhibition. He will be driving his open military jeep which he built from scatch. James rang me up and offered me a job at a nursing home with goodie pay ( $60/hr).
I won a free jug of beer at Hip-E club! Yippee!!! What a surprise that G also won the same stuff as me. Such a waste that I can't take the beer home and enjoy it. If only I hadn't drive.....grr* So both of us went up to collect our prizes and took a pic together. The crazy girlfriend whom I was with at the club kept teasing me and G that we are just meant to be ' inseperable'. Other than the fact that G and myself had the same b'date, I don't see anything going on between us. Firstly, I don't really like dating smoking dudes. I always have this allergic rhinitis which comes and goes. Sometimes, it can turn bad to the extent that I can hardly breathe. Additionally, the idea of kissing ciggie-d lips puts me off.*pukes*

Inner Voices
I wasn't very pleased that I gotta fetch people up and down to the clubs most of the time last week. It's the people whom I don't at all. I undestand R doesn't wanna disappoint her friends but if I don't say yes, that makes me sound like an evil person. Indeed, it's all because she is on tour and that's why I didn't make a din out of it. Remember it's doesn't happen only once. On the other hand, I hate to tell her that she is being a little naive in her relationship with the b.f. What right do I have to say it anyway. Since she has made the choice , she gotta be brave to face whatever circumstances that come along. Not just whining and upsetting herself because she can't reach her boyfriend in Australia on the phone.
VN is right, I am a big softie and easy being ripped off by others.
Clubbing was kinda boring sh*t on Saturday. First, have to pick up C (whom i just got to know) and R. The problem is C's nonverbal cues (eg, folding across her arms most of the time) just tell me she is not interested?. Geez, don't think I would actually meet her just because I thought Christine n her friends were coming to Metros as well - which in the end, they didn't come! Well, some people are just being indecisive and like the idea of 'flying aeroplane' ( giving empty promises).
Went out with F in the arvo for dim sum and being so nice of me again (and also with the thought of her coming from a poorer background), I paid for the meal. That was cool with me. But what I can't stand is that if she can't afford to pay the shirt for a friend's present, why insist buying it on the spot then? She tried to pay via the bank card which doesn't work at all. In the end, I just paid it on her behalf to save ourselves from embrassement. If she is sensible enough, she would have come back next time to buy the shirt then. I don't know what have I done in my previous life as if I am owing her favours all the time. Yes, I lent her my bag, shoes and gave her a cardigan unreluctantly. . I've already verberlized that I have certain amount of bills to pay on time and yet she still doesn't get the clue.
Why am I keep having such feeling of people ripping me off?

Euroka Retirement Village
That's where I went to render my foot services to the old folks living there. I have never been to North Beach suburb and yet, it was indeed a fantastic place with great coastlines. Took me about half and hour to get there with the traffic in the morning. I took a pic of the area after work so stay tune dudes!
Someone had actually fully booked the whole bloody long list of appointments without a lunch break in between. Gosh* I could have work from 8.30am to 2pm constantly non-stop. Thanks to Gwen (my patient) who was kind enough to make me a cheese tomato sandwich. She even brought me an apple as well! That was soo sweet of her. And the other patient even make me a cuppa tea with some biscults which she brought it down from home. George ( another of my patient) even offered to clean up the place after I am done. All these folks fufilled my day and being so kind to me even I didn't know them at all.
Went out last night to Oriels with Christine's friends with her b.f. I can't deny the fact that those people are really boring to the extreme. I get to chat up to Z and C most of the time while pretending to ignore the presence of the rest. I know I am a bad girl *lol*
Feel like taking a nap now..*again* It has been becoming more like a habit in the evening. Chatted with D (en) last night online and hope he feels much better today despite whatever shit his wife is doing to him. I feel sorry for him and if I were his daughter, I would detest mommy forever for hurting daddy. Because I do understand that her actions are just soo wrong and unacceptable. It's quite unbelievable how he can channel all his energy in treating patients.

Phobia of LOVE
My girlfriend, R was in town recently from Singapore. A few more days to go for R before she commenced her new job at a local mental health hospital as a nurse. Finally, we met on Tueday night to go to Hip-E club for a chill out. Free beer and roast burger before 9pm. It was all good until she won a bottle of Champagne and a cosmetic bag. Plus that bottle of alcohol must be consumed on that day itself. Somehow, I managed to see G and a few new pilot dudes. So I grabbed G and asked if his mates wanna share the drink with R and myself. Must be R's unlucky day....she met Ryan that night whereby Ryan used to be a bit 'crazy' on R. *lol* But still, Ryan has his cute side of it and very witty too.
Got to know another friend of G who is D. He works as a dental surgeon and has been friends with G for the past 17 years. I thought it would be nice to know another dentist besides my daily online buddy, VN in queensland. We exchanged numbers coz I thought of bringing R and D around perth. Anyway, we didn't go in the end. The funny thing is how D just touched behind my shoulders as we walked to the dance floor that night. I mean, I would rarely get close to anyone especially if I am meeting him/her for the first time. Call me a conservative brain. It probably meant nothing at all.
Saw G and the pilot gang again at Margeaux's. It was my first time there since the R's whole housemates are going too. More like an international gang with people from Germany, Australia, Singapore, Norway. Had a couple of drinks but what sux that night was waiting for R's friend freaking long. R was nice to buy me a drink that night anyway. And I met D again....it took me a while to get warm up and say Hi to him. Basically he was standing there and people watching. Basically that's how I managed to start a little conversation with him.
Actually, D was rather an easy going guy, career-minded, with 80% of nerd in him. What a shame he is leaving on this coming Friday. Perhaps, that's why he didn't bother to show any intentions of keeping in touch. Ultimately, it is gonna be an issue in singapore vs perth thing. I don't even know where my career is going to take me which places. Maybe he did show his keeness but well....what I can say. No doubt I did say that :" perhaps it would be the last time I'll be seeing you. Have a good trip and have fun on the rest of the days." His reply was like :" good bye?"-many times?
arrghh*
I don't know whether he was thinking at that time...it was like 2am.
The only thing is we did exchanged numbers and I got a card where he works at a private pracitice.

Nope, no boogie on Saturday night.
It's unlike one of those Saturdays, finally I get a chance to stay at home and enjoy a can of Foster's in front of internet. This week is no difference to last week as in I've worked 2 Saturdays as a nurse in the hospital. The most dreadful thing about working on Saturday is to wake up at 5 yish in the morning :<
I've worked with so many war veterans and elderly folks....I began to realise that people nowadays (as being in a relationship) are less tolerant, less understanding, and less passionate. During the years of World War 1&2, these old folks had been through so much for the sake of keeping their relationsips alive. No matter where one meet each other or where one's from, they somehow managed to get together. Distance wasn't considered a hindrance despite the fact that the partner may come from another country. Times has changed indeed. We are moving beyong into a quicker pace than before. Emailing is just not good enough as part of basic tools of communication. We need pictures smsing and even digital camera installed onto the phones!
We are ought to be lucky in this booming new technology era which truly has made communication more accessible. My question is: doesn't long distance relationships work at all?
So far, I've got only a friend involved in this. I find it quite hard to understand if one just blames it on the distance apart as the main reason for the breakup.
If that's the main reason, why be in the relationship in the first place?
From my point of view, being distant apart seems to conquer the power of love...... unfortunately.
It's unlike one of those Saturdays, finally I get a chance to stay at home and enjoy a can of Foster's in front of internet. This week is no difference to last week as in I've worked 2 Saturdays as a nurse in the hospital. The most dreadful thing about working on Saturday is to wake up at 5 yish in the morning :<

Why Women Cry
(abstract from a friend of mine in Virtualtourist.com)
A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?"
"Because I'm a woman, she told him."I don't understand," he said.
His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."
Later the little boy asked his father,"Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why womencry.
Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked,"God, why do women cry so easily?"
God said "When I made the woman she had to be special.I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world,yet gentle enough to give comfort.I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife,but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside human falteringly.And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."You see my son," said God,
"the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combsher hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides".

HOME VISITS
I feel so dreadful to wake up early in the morning. Perth's weather has been quite lousy with lots of gusty winds and stormy rain. This is one of those days which one would preferred to stay indoor. Other than being dreadful is I gotta wake up early for home visits! Gosh* I hate it so much.... Hate the jams in the morning and travelling distance. It's lovely to treat the folks but I've got too many people to be seen within this week just puts me off.
Okay 3 more to go tomorrow after checking through a list of 10 home visits. Quite poor thing for the old folks.They are normally house bound and function independently at home. Most of them are in their 80s already plus, this Italian lady was so cute. She doesn't speak much English so I have to use short and simple words to explain what I am going to do..etc.. Then,she began to open up her cookie boxes one by one asking me to try her home- made biscults.
Followed by "you want drink? Coffee?".
So much about work, I am going to Harbour Town tomorrow with Y. Hopefully I don't get to spend so much. Need to set aside some bling bling for river rafting end of next month.
I need a break end of this year too......Ever since start of this year, I have been busy with my nursing degree and followed by work and now proceeding into working almost full time, wish I can take a 4 or 5 days break for a trip to Sydney.

Why appointments are always screwed up?
Not exactly sure what is going on but it seems the appoinments are *uck up with the patients. Either they turn up on the wrong day or my boss's lap top is screwed up.
Anyway, this is life isn't it?
On the other hand, I don't think I can handle 10 home visits this week. They are all over the places and it takes more time to read the map than treating the patients itself. Not particulary fond of doing that so I am gonna call it quits over the weekend.
*sigh* Most podiatrists are sole practitioners whereby they start up a business on their own from the beginning. It is more common in Perth as it seems. I am starting job hunting in November onwards, particularly paying attention to Queensland or Newcastle (New South Wales).
I am so tired this week..glad tomorrow is Thursday and I can't wait for weekend to come....Whee!!
On a happier note, my oldies are singing full of praises of me today*WIDE GRINS*. "After coming to the podiatry for 5 years, I think you are the best among the rest of podiatrists." -quoted from Mrs S. "
" Thanks darling, that feels good after the hard skin's taken off. Oh, I suppose you are gentle in person as well." -quoted from Mrs R.
Something at least brightens my day.....

Sleeping Bug hit on me
I went to Northam yesterday together with a fellow Aussie pod,P. Northam is approximately about over an hour's drive east of Perth. Basically we took 20 patients each in a private nursing home for podiatry service.By the time we got done, it was already 6pm. So tiring with lotsa bending over the foot rest, sitting down on the floor and also there are a couple of struggling moments of those elderly refused to let me cut their toe nails. This old Italian folk even went to the wrong room and what was worst was while I was trying to remove her big corn in her toe , she fidgets sooo much. I hate the idea of putting in such a high risk postion of injuring myself.
On the lighter note, this Mrs C was so sweet. She gave me a Freddo choc and said thank you. hahaha...That certainly comes in handy where i need sugar boosting at the end of day's work.
And then, P and I decided to go for dinner at Jimmy Deans. But it was so packed plus there are 4 groups of people waiting before us.
Besides Jimmy Deans, the town of Midland only had Thai and pancakes house. So we decided to have Thai green curry and thai fried rice.
I am so tired on the sunday..woke up at 12 and slept at 2 -yish again. I feel like i am the ultimate pig of the world. Ahh, perhaps I am .haha.
Talked to Donny, Dk and Vn at the same time...if you guys realise that i am NOT responding to your chat earlier coz i was climbing back to my slumberland. I love my pillow, my duck feathered blanket and also another smelly' pillow.
HURHUR
'Nightmare' for tomorrow :O(
Working @Carlise Senior centre--> Perth City to collect instruments --> Back to South Perth to collect instruments --> Lesile Watson's Nursing homes @ salter point --> Back to South Perth to drop off instrument --> Home --> Rest and attend Bar Course at Uni of Western Australia --> Keep in view meeting Chris tomorrow night in the city.

MONDAY IS FILLED WITH blues
Work is all good today. The problem lies with the car....
I wanted to get the battery fixed today at Anna's car workshop and the price quoted was reasonably cheaper than any other places. The toyota company sent the wrong batt to her place....Which means I gotta wait for a few more days before the actual batt arrives.
So duh* Anna felt so apologetic and claimed that this is what happened when customers try to get their car on time and it never happened. Spare parts companies always have a higher tendency of sending the wrong stuffs to the workshop. So inefficient. I bet those workers if they ever worked in Singapore will be condemned ages ago for poor service.
So with the new battery installed later, I would have to find out the exact radio pin for the car. Without them pin means I got no radio!!! *SOB* so smsed the previous owner and hopefully he can get back to me if not, that goes my 40 bucks for resetting the code at toyota workshop.
Too much running around this afternoon and zonk me out for a nap........
Oh the auntie who worked at the chinese grocery store was nice enough to share with me her pimple remedy. Worked for her son and she has highly recommended to some customers which produced positive results.
My Jap (nippon) friend smsed me and most likely we are gonna meet up this Friday.
After so much 'drama' today, I guess what happened to me is really nothing..When I was driving on my way to work, stopped red lights the rail to get past. On my left hand side, there was this young dude wearing one of the callipers to walk along the pathway towards the direction of train station.Not sure how can i exactly described that emotion of his whether is he in pain when he walks, experiencing discomfort, or trying to adapt to walk despite his limitation. Every little step he made seems to be a great effort.

What say me:
- Always look at the problem with a bigger picture.
- Nothing is to be feared with determination.
- Everything happens for a reason and it would be 'worth the problem' if one treats it as part of learning experience.
- I don't believe in life can be plain smooth sailing all the time.

Beautiful Sunday
What am I doing on a Sunday? Woken up by a phonecall from Dad and the time is already 10am. Got some laundry and bed linens for washing. Watched video hits in the morning and ate my breakfast.My housemate is already eating her lunch though...This shows how slack I am on a Sunday.
Right now, planning to do my power walk later and cleaned up my car. No doubt is quite reasonably cleaned but I just can't tolerate any speck of dust lying around ;p I got allergic rhinitis if you know what I mean.
Right now, chatting with VN and DK while mutlitasking onmy blog and sewing my new brown pants.
Can't wait for Spring to come in September ......ahhh..
Gonna bring Y to church later and most likely we'll have dinner after that.

The Reason- Hoobastank
That's the song I am currently listening to. Great tempo, lyrics, slow rock described beautifully on the scenerio that the lead cast is facing at that moment. God damn.... sometimes the vision of J keeps flashing on my mind. Perhaps I am just missing him by a fraction.
Email reply from the clinic manager of Kantaning. They are seriously underoffered me the pay and not taking into consideration of my previous experience and qualifications. Even though it was 3k+/month but that's not included tax and travelling fees. Generally, it's not worth the time and money to move around so much and morever, the pay I am getting is pretty much the same as I am working here in Perth.
Had a busy day working in 2 locations. Seeing soo many elderly folks really scare me. How would I be like 50 years down the road. *lol* Anyway, just a thought of it. Watched the gay show earlier on. (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy). Almost sobbing with tears whereby this bunch of gay dudes brought this Asian crazy clown looked to a sophisticated n well-groomed man. They even helped him to plan for his wedding dinner from venue location, set up,food, cultery sets, cards for the guests, renovate the love birds' nest, to pointers on his wedding speech.............the ending was...too touching. I can tell this couple are so much in love where on the other hands, you would feel they are so much into each other not just soulmates only.*wipes with kleenex*
Got my car insurance sorted out with tyres to be replaced this Thursday.

Killing softly with this song.....
Just happened this song came along on the radio now which always remind me of my best g.f , Eileen and Viven. This song certainly brings us good memories where we enjoyed our early 20s hanging out together regularly. I missed them back home..
Oh I sold my Ford Baby this morning! The price was good and no doubt having this car for 4 years, the depreciation value only went down by less than 2k. Tomorrow I'll ring the buyer for my Echo to be pick up this Saturday I hope. I can never thank enough of my dad who always get the best things for me.... that's the reason why I am willing to take an extra step towards for a better career so that my parents are able to live comfortably in the later part of their living years.
I've sent an email making more enquires about working in Kalgoorlie (600km away from Perth, 6 hours via rail, an hour via flight). Well, working for the government hospital can never be bad enough but the only down side, I got no one to turn to if I need help. No assistant nurse or another podiatrist fella. I am all alone. So i need to ensure the deal is good enough for me to take up such position.
Starting pay is 40k -50k plus plus I also have asked for relocation fee and accomodation subsidy.
Kalgoorlie is a big country town and most of the shops are avaliable.And they got my favourite TARGET store! Whahahaha.....
Not sure R is reading my blog but I hope she can get over with J. Can't believe J even whinge about paying 45cents for overseas SMS. What does that imply despite the fact that J is in Perth and R is in Singapore? R was so upset and I talked her through till 2 am in the morning.
On the lighter note, Dk , if you are reading this, stay happy and always remember there are always friends who care about you. Most importantly, you are not alone in this battle of saddness.
Eh VN, entertain me le! Whahahahaha, i need a teeth checkup. Mom said my teeth are getting yellow.Don't think Colgate works anymore!! :O<

Old Cats Fight
Old cats actually referred to the oldies here I see at a senior citizen's centre where they come every Wednesday to get their feet treated. The problem is with the appointments last week's clinic, someone actually doubled booked 2 patients at the same time! Not sure which *** messed up the appointments dates, the oldies almost fought with one another for the first priority to be seen.The other problem is most oldies engaged in playing Bingo which starts at 1pm. And of course, if I am running late on the clinic, those folks would start banging on the door to hurry me up. I hate to treat patients in a hush hush manner....that's not my style.... It takes a lot of patience +++ to treat elderly people. The last thing I don't wish to happen is when they start complaining to my boss. Bah!
Dad feels that I am wasting my time while waiting for PR to happen. Anyhow, I have reassured him that while working (almost every day) , I would also attend course/seminars or state conference in relation to my work. Well, I guess this is also my chance to do a bit of mini travel in WA as well. The plan is to attend WA Podiatry state conference is Oct which is gonna be held in a hotel in Como.
Haven't had much time to catch up with friends like Stefanie, Anna,Zhen and talking to people online....maybe my parents just left and right now, I am organizing my tax return stuff so that I need not worry about the dateline later. Where is my time for exercising!? Hopefully the backside doesn't get as big as I expected ;p
Tomorrow I am going out with my housemate for the first time for some shopping spree. Well, not spending much as I would like as my future expenses are likely to come sooner or later:
1) car transfer fees
2) car registration in Oct
3) car insurance
4) Rent +bills
5) Petrol
6) grocery
7) Podiatrist registration in December
8) Accountant fees
9) WA /state conferences
I have also set aside my main objectives in my work field:
1) Practice nail surgery
2) Understand more on paediatric conditions
Geez, I read this file about this kid with Torticullis (which means wryneck), and Plagiocephaus (premature closing of the lamboidal/coronal sutures of the skull).....
Was a bit blurr reading the history of this kid..anyway, each patient is only allowed 20mins of treatment at the community health service. I just gotta do my best then..
3) treat more warts...they can be soo stubborn and tricky to treat!
4) Biomechanics
So much more now..gonna upload a pic of mom carrying this huge pumpkin as promised.

Back to Blog&Slog
I am beginning to like the idea of HTML-ing on the latest blog features, rather than the dull old plain text. Call me a dummy for computer.
My parents just left for Singapore yesterday. Mom even complained that she hasn't had enough of fun in Perth and Dad just simply enjoy eating the food here especially the roast. I also realise that my parents kinda a big fan of pumpkins. Check out my mom with a huge pumpkin pic in my next update. Maybe they should become 'ang mohs' (foreigners) so that they get to celebrate Halloween's and decorate the pumpkin masks at the same time. That's just the rubbish part of me. Since Dad was only here in Perth for 3 days, we travelled all over the places extensively. I treated my parents on a luncheon cruise on Dad's birthday. Before Dad's arrival, mom and myself went on a day trip to Pinnacles, Lancelin and Caversham Wildlife Park.
With Dad's stay, all of us check in into this 3.5 star hotel which was quite a good deal for 3 persons for $100 bucks a night. Too bad, I didn't get a chance to use the suana.
Indeed, for the past one week, I was really exhausted but happy..... Additionally, I still have to work almost everyday though.
I am getting more calls to work in the rural areas of Perth (eg, Albany, Kalgoorlie). Erm, that's like a few hours aways (at least 6hours) from Perth so nah!
Oh Donny is currently in Brissy now and that gives me another chance to visit Brisbane again ;p However, my priority is still going to Sydney this year. Short term plan is river rafting trip next month!
Whee!!

Man can cook.What about the women?
I read this piece of article from a local English newspaper online indicating or encouraging new breeds of bachelors or fathers of young families to learn to cook. Actually, if man who can cook certainly impresses me a lot for as long as he doesn't clean up heaps of mess after that.hahaha. With the new century of the world we are living in, we keep talking about fast, new, high technologies ,serve with highly efficient services and in fact, do these change oneself to more being impatient human beings? How many of us can actually take time out to learn and bake a cake? Sad to say, Singaporeans need to be reminded to take time out and sit down enjoying family meals which in turn to enhance family relationships.
Forget about saying men who doesn't know how to cook, I don't think women would know how to get down to kitchen from my observations. From my perspective, I think it is a vital skill that a lady should master plus there is also a good reason to keep your husband's tummy well-fed rather than he staying out for whatever reasons. Hope the reader would understand of what I am trying to say here.
Gotta meet J.T tomorrow for a pigout session..better sleep early for now...

Freezing cold mornings
Each morning is getting harder and harder to get off the bed. I didn't had a good morning sleep through with constant calls and messages beeping. Firstly, it was a call from the nursing agency asked if I wanted to work in Armadale (that takes about 40mins drive) from my place) and so I rejected it. Martin, from Holland, is suddenly leaving for adelaide today and I'll probably will not see him for a long time unless my Europe tour is happening in year 2006. Dad rang too and talked to me about his upcoming trip to Perth. Mom is coming to town next Friday! Whoppiee, and I just can't decide which ones to go!Hmmmmm......
Otherwise, I just spend my time online and sleeping and went to church with Yulia followed by mussels dinner at Cocas.
Joel, who is currently a medical doctor in singapore, is in town with his family. He's a great friend whom I know a couple of years ago and finally, we get a chance to meet tomorrow. As usual, he's always into casinos aka gamble king on the rock.Picking him up at the hotel lobby tomorrow afternoon for lunchie and show him around in Perth later.

Current update
Got another locum job with a nursing home starting every Monday.For the next coming week will be full on with podiatry jobs and working 2 nursing shifts as well.Need to work hard while I am still young.Hehe, my next travel destination is Sydney and long term travel plan is to Europe in 2006.
I gotta do my tax return which can be quite a headache. I just hate filling those numbers and whatever terms on the forms are so not self-explanatory. I need to bug one of my accountant g.f soon on that ;p But once the tax return is done, I'll be waiting eagerly for the money to roll in. Teehee!!
Otherwise, work is all good last week. Did the volunteer foot service at St Patrick community support centre.Sister Elma was very thankful and gave me a bag of full of lemons. Had duck rice in the city with Raj and gosh, I really miss eating beancurds and soy duck meat. Was shopping earlier in the city too and my favourite cardigan was sold out! %*#*

Change of plan
Okie dok, must make full use of my youth and being single factor right now before the scarecrow lines start to develop around my eyes and lips ;p
Plan is to work in one year in somewhere in Aussie, then save to go around Europe travelling for a few months and then go back to Aussie and work for another year, before I decide to call Singapore my home.*hurhur*
I shall be about 28 years old if the plan goes on smoothly.
Whee**

Post Party Retreat
Went to Metro club yesterday with a few people from the university hostel. It wasn't that fantastic after all despite constant radio advertisement announcing about the end of semester party for students celebration at the club. Music sucks and hardly any cuties at all (ah huh, I have to admit that). And this young looking middle east dude tried to hold my hands while I was dancing with my g.f. The next thing what happened was I just flick off my arms and gave me an audible note of "EXCUSE ME" I could have kick him in his groins but I was so well-dressed and so, i didn't caused any drama. Tee hee. Oh Raj and myself got Free CDs from Metro.BY the time when the Dj started playing Jacko's songs, my heart sank to the maximum and I called it quits and decided to go home.
Woke up so late today around 12 noon. Didn't do much except having a slacking afternoon and online most of the time.
Today's weather is superb and followed by showers over the next few days. Otherwise, I am chatting with VN @Mt Isa. We talked almost everyday...it's amazing that we haven't run out of any topics. Meanwhile I need to do more research on Sydney as Mom might be coming over next month and we shall do a little tour.YAY*
In regards about my job, I think I would still choose to work between Queensland or Sydney. The jobs are there but it's really up to me whether I wanna go for it or not.As i said earlier, the decision will be made next year.
On the lighter note, it's a plan for river rafting next month! Along the stretch of Murray river, 80kms south of perth :O)
More later.
Short note to Elizabeth: Hey girl, I know U'll be reading my blog...so hang in there and it's time to partay next Tue!

OLD FEMALE FOLKS
Don't know keep getting old female folks telling me what to do at the clinic.When I asked them what exactly the problem is (asking closed- ended questions), they can't even answer that directly. Maybe they preferred the boss and afterall, their feet have been taken care of by the same person for the past few years. Not so good for a change for those who doesn't like the idea. Just thinking going to a preferred hairdresser, as not everyone is pleased to see someone different I guess. BLAH*
Whatever.
I am on the road of recovery after seeing Dr 3 times within less than a month!Whee! NO more cough and means I can party to my heart tomorrow.
On the lighter note, I was thinking of working another year in Sydney or Queensland and followed by another year in Europe.
I really need a full time job man....but this PR is taking way too much time.

Shopping Mania
I have been hanging out with Raj almost everyday. She's leaving next month and I am gonna missed her so much. We enjoyed shopping so much and coffee and seems never get tired with one another.
Raj is so sweet to buy me a Lavender Candle.We are truly the gossip queens of perth (in general).
Spoke to Fred from France on MSN>He invited me over to France for holiday with free food and free accomodation.HAHA.I love that idea but when I got the time and money.i'll definitely make a trip to Europe.And also I wish i can visit Marco in Italy, Rea in Budapest and friends over in London.
Ken apparently send me a carton of FOSTERS via online shipment.I love surprises! and I am very very grateful to him for brighten my day.Cheers mate!
No news of J (irish dude) and I have tried my best to Sms him after exam and yet I didn't hear anything from him. I am not gonna do anything more than that then.I remembered telling that I am not expecting anything from him. If this whole 'thing" ended sadly, let so be it.

On the go!
Alrighty, i'm done with my second BSc and at the moment, I would very much like to give a break on my study. Perhaps a Masters degree in another two years time.Otherwise, i am happy to work a couple of days a week while enjoying the best time of my life. Then again, I feel so shi* and I am falling sick again!? I just had a course of antibiotics which has made me feel better. However, within a week later, the condition seems to be back to square one.Seeing a Dr again tomorrow at the uni.
Oh, I worked in Armadale community health last Tue. It was excellent and the staffs are pretty helpful.One of my patients thought i was only 21? Wheeeee...... ;p
J didn't send any msg or email me at all...not sure what has happened to him for the past week.Whatever it is, I am just taking that he has flown away for good.I know I deserve someone better than him. In fact, I need someone who loves me unconditionally and not afraid to face any obstacles in a relationship. R's b.f hates the idea of long distance relationship and R is going back home next month after her degree while her b.f had to stay on to finish his study. I mean, what's wrong with long distance relationship? What is it that people fear most in that? Anyway, relationship is gonna take a back seat for now.
I am very impressed with my American meterologist friend who is having a super long distance (he travels around too much for work) relationship for 2 years and with the 11 months not seeing the g.f at all....

Movie
Had those complaints from the oldies. One minute they can be so nice and the next min they turn into a terror manic. Maybe hormones is partly responisible for such erratic behaviours and so does aging.I don't want to grow old!! *haha*
Went out with J yesterday for a movie. Picked him up and we watched The day after tomorrow together. And of course, he didn't show any signs hitting on me.I just couldn't help it but giving a kiss on his cheek. And then we started holding hands while watching the film.Headed down to Mackers for a burger and sent him home afterwards. And I just wanted to kiss him more and more...sure enough, he's leaving in three weeks time. I didn't cried when he broke the news to me. I know this would happen sooner or later, and it's just a matter of time.J didn't want to get close to me coz he was afraid i'll be upset later. So thoughtful of him but.....guess I am mentally prepared enough..before he left for good.

Sick
Been having this cough plus sore throat since Monday and yes, a Dr's appointment has been made tomorrow. Lotsa work going around for me *yay* but the coming pay is SO slow. Don't know why it seems the $ comes later than what the contract has stated.
Oh! One of my patients fainted today while I was doing her toenail post surgery dressing.After much reassurances, she just revealed she's just felt too stressed up and hasn't been eating the whole day. Poor mom! In fact, we are about the same age and she's already a mom of 3 kiddos! Bleah*
Witnessed a small accident along Leach highway today.Strange enough, this Honda Integra just bang onto this motorbiker simply by just assuming he will move after the traffic has cleared while waiting at the GIVE WAY sign. I was behind the Honda and I was like "OMG, don't bang!" and of course, the motorbiker got up and just stared at the well-dressed lady in the car. And also, this lady who is about in her 50s ( driving a honda intergra?) came out of the door without even checking for the vehicles moving next to the car. DUH*.
By the way, not sure which idoit rang me at 6yish in the morning to enquire about my car.WTF **#%*)%......
