Who's what? Naked?
Boss rang me up and asked if I'm willing to work today (Saturday) since the lady podiatrist called in for sick leave. I agree on the 2nd thought when I simply think it as an addtional income coming through. Supposed to meet Marlene earlier on but I just have to tell her to meet the rest of girls later. So woke up in the morning and realised the lady landlord and her bf (or called it her financee) are up too! Oh, so someone is using the bathroom and I just gotta wait for my turn to use it. Seriously speaking, whatever they are doing with the screaming or moaning or tossing on the floor sounds, it is absolutely turning me off. Come on, who doesn't want a peaceful sleep at night. With all these cranky noises would probably lead me having a wet dream - yeah right as if I wish that would happen.
SO someone's boyfriend came out of the bathroom door with a towel wrapped on his lower half of the body. Additionally, he greeted me in THAT manner.....Now here I am not trying to indicate that I am traditionally minded but what do you think of seeing someone semi-naked in the morning? Very big turn off. He's old enough to be called Uncle for sure.
Enough of old semi-naked ah pek story.
I went to City and Paddington with Marlene plus a few other girls too. Such a shame it rain today and stalls (posh) at Paddys gotta close early. I gotta shop less here and to shop more in Singapore! It is certainly an advantage of earning aussie currencies ;p
My shopping checklist in Singapore:
1) DFS
2) contact lens
3) Toiletries
4) Zara
5) 2 bags
6) xxx (undefine) number of shoes
7) Sunnies
8) Nicholas Sparks books
9) Diamond studs for my 2nd ear holes

Fashion Sense
One of my patients likes my dressing today at work. ;p I reckon Donny must be so fed up of hearing me how nice I often dress for work. He always teases me about having fashion shows in the clinic. To me, the art of being able to dress nicely for work produces a huge influence on how you want your patients to look at you. In order to present yourself with a good image, knowing what or what not to wear plays a vital role on that. And of course, this doesn't mean that one has to spend lots of money to look good. Self confident is also another essential element in bringing out your image status.
I'm going Paddington's market this weekend with Marlene and her course mates. This long coming weekend would be nice for me to catch up on some accountant work.
This is the 2nd day I am having chicken caesar from the Macker's deli choices....supposedly it only has 10g of fats in it.
Be back later..

Closer
I wish she would not come closer to me.Am i being nasty here? I believe she has a heart of gold but there isn't anyway that I can tolerate her fickle-minded habit when it comes to shopping. It is mentally exhausing and physically straining to my body. I can't thank her and the boss enough for the hospitality when I first came to Sydney. She's far too well taken care of and too pampered. Somehow I just can't click' with people who don't show the slightest sight of being independent. She told me about getting her brand new Colt and yet she commented that she freaks out on Sydney's traffic. Showing some point of contradiction?Perhaps and most likely yes.
I miss home. I wish I am closer to home and with my friends and more friends! Mom called and said if i want to go China for holiday-WHEE!! Hen's night is well-organised on its way. But first, I need to return to Perth next Sun and meet up with a few good friends,have my hair done and work work work.
Met Marlene last weekend and we had very nice char siew rice (bbq pork). Did abit of grocery shopping and of course, a lot of yakkings. We are going to paddingtons with her friends this long weekend for Sydney's cultural week. Hopefully that would be interesting.

Good Day in Sydney!
Reaching Sydney safe and sound. It's been a month since living and working in Sydney. I must say that my life in Perth is too slack. Now back on working full time mode can be quite tiring. That means no more late nights in front of internet, sleep early, more discipline in my routine than ever. No doubt there are only a few friends that I know of here, it's exciting for me to venture out different places myself on weekends. Driving here is like driving back in Singapore. Driving in Perth is like getting on a cruise mode - so easy peasy.
For sure the weekends is a lot better than in Perth. More shops are open and more places to hang around.
The people whom I am working with is a fantastic bunch of people. At least, the receptionist has a great sense of humour and her firmness towards people make things a lot easier especially handling difficult clients. Boss is great and teaches me a few tricks of trade every now and then.
Will also be taking time out to meet Marlene -who is doing her Msc in Psychology and Sinwee -she's doing her med degree here.
What's new- This 12 year old girl came into the clinic with ingrown toenails. Injected 4 vials of anasthesia which finally got her toes numb. I even forgo my meeting with the accountant as the surgery took almost 2.5hrs to complete. ...real bummer
I'm currently staying in a double storey 3 bedroom house with 2 other girls. I've got my 1st piss session with one of the roommates on the previous wednesday and felt shi**y the next day. Told myself never get piss on weekdays anymore.
2 more weeks back to Singapore and I am sooooooo excited!!
Will write more later...stay tune for roomates, boss, his wife gossips.hurhur!

Grand Finale in Perth
My car and pc will get transported to Sydney first. So no more online till I get my butt there.
Tosani and Diana came over this afternoon with KFC. Fingers sure licking good with original pieces of chook. Di was sweet to offer me a lift to the airport this Sat. To. suggested to have a farewell lunch prior leaving. No doubt I just got to know them, I am certainly touched by their sincerity. Esp Di, I feel that I owe her a big time again.
I was extremely busy today with the packing and errands. To make sure that my housemates would have something to eat, I purposely made a trip to supermarket and cooked dinner for them. I don't mind not charging them for anything and if only they could just shut their mouths just to comment that I got lots of clothes, lots of shoes. It is starting to annoy my ears every now and then. Why? Because it is a constant remark on me. It's so constant that it's putting me off.
Maybe they are suffering from some sour grape syndrome. Sometime being nice doesn't pay......Maybe I should be stone hearted... Also, I got a friend of mine who appears to have always 'hear' wrongly of the things I said. Is either she needs to drain out her impacted ear wax or I have to attend a speech therapy course. I can't stand it when people just don't listen -attentive enough.
Going dinner with Anna and Kel this Friday night. And my ex patient is soo nice to give me a lift to work on Friday. Whee!! *clap clap*
Too tired to continue blogging..... next blog will be from Sydney

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Daily grinder(s)
Went to Northam today with Pip to work at a nursing home. *EEKS* No, I don't feel any excitment working in palliative area. That's why I've bought a ticket to Sydney and planned to relocate in May to work for a friend's private practice. Not sure why but I am not particularly over-excited as compared to the first time I arrived in Perth. There are still a number of things that I have to do prior moving though.
Sub-grinders:
1) Knn that Dark- blue Lancer Asian driver who deliberately blocked my view that I can't turn my car on the right. Oh did I mention that he is from Curtin Uni.
2) This elderly folk refused to let me cut her nails on her left foot after I managed her right one. Fine by me......plus she tried to hit me! Violent grandma on the alert mode....
3) Rea from Hungary was soo sweet.She bought me a ultra sexy rose pink top from MNG.Plus it was sent via registered post as a prezzie for my b'day. ;p VN also sent me a sexy top from SUPRE with lotsa glitter beads on the v-neck halter. If only my perfect accessory is Mr 'Hunky' to go along. Don't think if it ever exists in the first place.
4) JT has been really encouraging and totally supporting my decision to Syd over da email.So sweet of him..... VN can't wait for me to get my butt to eastern side. Vien also agreed with the moving for the reason being work exposure.
Suddenly the thought of having char kway tiao and satay come into my mind..... i miss home!

Easter Vigil
Long easter break in Perth = higher chance of becoming a couched potato. This dullsillive is getting on my nerves. Like what my dentist g.f said, move over to the Eastern state where all the actions are. Went over to D's place to play dia dee and was great to see Wei/Tos playing it well. Slacked the whole of Saturday except did some readings on foot journals. Then again, that wasn't really ..uhm..happening. Just came back from a cycling trip and got a few mild bruises induced from F - Miss Bicycle Accident Prone. Learnt my lesson not to stand so close to her just in case the history repeats itself. Guess her temperature must be on the rise if she ever reads this. It's the truth.
Gonna do a movie marathon (3 movies) tonight with the girls and one dude.1st show will start at 11.30pm and I should be home by 7am. Whoppie! Better off than watching the aussie Teevee which generally sux on weekends and public holiday.
Was chatting with Mr France yesterday. So strange when he typed in his French English like this:" what's wrong with you and the men? You are bubbly, jovial and easy going."
By the way, Mr France is already taken by Slyvie. I chose my reply to be:" Most guys are too coward - to approach or break the ice. I guess something is wrong with them and not me.As far as I know, I am just being..me." From there, Mr France reassured me that the right guy will come along eventually and that goes the same for Kurdt who said exactly the same thing. It's nice to see how my friends are expressing their concerns on me.
Told Pa and Ma about my plans to relocate to Sydney. Not much comments from them except Dad wants me to go back in another year's time. Uhm................we shall see then.
Diana Krall's concert is coming on the 8th April. Should I or not?

Bitc*
I went to the Perth Local Court to submit my forms today. Now all I have to do is to sit back and relax for previous owner to respond. She even has the guts to ask me to wash the carport stains. Hello, I've left the house since 2 months ago. Who knows which TOM, DICK, HARRY parked the car with their engine oil leaking. Morever, doesn't she understand that it's normal to have a bit of oil leak from the car. Indirectly from the engine and perhaps, can be resulted from the cooler that drips onto the engine. What actually piss me off is this under-go training bitc* who missed calling my number and in the end, the person after me actually got ahead of me first. What? Sorry? Thank goodness I didn't get a carpark fine and if not, I'll definitely write a letter of complaint and you can kiss ya job goodbye. Aussie has such a poor standard of being efficient. This observation come from my years of staying in Aust and when it comes to servicing the customers, it's definitely heading the last position.
Perth's weather shot up to 41.9 degree celsius....... So ultimate hot that I didn't even feel like eating lunch. Worked at the women's prison today... Didn't kinda like the place ;(

Am I missing something?
It's been a week since I am back from Singapore. Work has been quite fairly easy and the worst is working in nursing homes. It just somehow makes you reflect that another few more decades down the road, you would probably end up stiffen in bed, suffering from certain level of immobility, leg/s emputated due to lower limb complication or speech difficulty. sigh*
I don't get the challenge and definitely no sense of satisfaction unlike those I've worked in Singapore.
On the miracle side, J rang me and offered me a position in his private practice in Castle Hill, Sydney. Few days later, he rang again and asked if I wanna take over the job at Hospital Hornsby. Well, after staying in Perth for close to 5 years, I reckon it's about time to make a move to greener pasture.
-By the way, Straits time is charging an online subscription! WTF*** Who the hell will do that and now that goes my regular website.
Went on a cycling trip from my place to the city last Sunday.The whole journey took abut 45 mins one way. Weather was absolutely beautiful with cool breeze. While waiting for the rest of the folks for an indian veg buffet, F and myself decided to get an ice-cream. This uncle asked if we are singaporeans and it's always nice to meet the locals overseas. Give us extra toppings with larger scoops ;p The best is he manages a perth budget stay deal.That will come in handy for sure.

More More blogs from Singapore
Recap on last Friday
After meeting Yvoone, all of us took a train down to City hall while Wen went over to Kembangan to meet her friends. Vone and myself are supposed to meet a group of healthcare worker. Anyway, we met up and had dinner at BakersInn. It was great catching up with everyone and especially Shanshan.However, shan2 had to rush off for her night duty at SGH. Nevertheless, we finally met!Had a good chat with Edwin, Shan and Azmi too.
It was 9pm that we had to depart coz vone and myself gotta meet another group of my g.fs+partners+more friends at Balaclava. I think I am totally underdressed. Not saying that I am in my knickers but the dressing for that day looks totally casual and unglamour.Just think that I am wearing this Esprit white tank top with a seablue chequered skirt and mesh sequine white slip ons.Oh, and a simple pony tail...
Fantastic time dunking hoegarden with all da friends (around more than 10 of them)...Met up with D as well with his mates. Got introduced to J .It was quite surprising to see J coz i used to work with him in the same hospital ages ago. Vone treated me burbeon coke and topshell-VERY YUMMY. After makaning , we move on to get a place to stand. As you can tell how popular bala is.Happened tat J is around so basically we just started rattling rubbish about operating theatres and anasthesia.
Later on, one big fat ugly angmog( much guessed as a British from his accent) asked if I want a drink. I declined his offer politely. The next thing is he started raising his voice like this :" come on! what's wrong!?"Obviously, I was almost being irritated to the max so I held onto J's arm and hopefully he will leave me alone. But no, he went on and yelled:" oh that's your g.f, you should give her a big kiss!." I rolled up my eyes for a moment. What an idoitic pig headed man. Hugged J and D as they are leaving Bala. Went back to look for my friends and met up with Eugene who gave me $50 bucks cash as my b'day pressie. "go get yourself a nice dress"-that's what he said.Whoopie! Annie was being plain naughty that she used my phone to sms my ex. Anyway, don't think he would ever find out. So what if he did...
Went to a church wedding on Saturday- my last day in Singapore. Was honoured to spend it with Naomi. Haven't seen this friend of mine who met her husband at a special school education teacher. She can ever be so patience towards the disabled ppl. Saw their personal lives video prior ceremony....it was really amazing to witness how two different human beings are able to merge their lives into one.
Spent the rest of the night resting and getting ready to depart for Perth again.

More blogs from Singapore
I haven't met KH for at least 5 years or so. Finally, after talking so much over the icq, we met at OLIO @Suntec. Seriously, I don't even have the slightest idea of where Olio is. KH was gentlemanly enough to gimme a treat. Think I deserve it and after all, I am always cracking my small brain on giving suggestions or helping him to make plans for his g.f.
Last Thursday was my last day at work. The clerk said she will miss my presence around. The assistance nurse is nice to buy me fruits after lunch. Went up to the ward where I used to be a nurse and bid farewell to the nursing officer. I manage to feed the baby guppies before I left the clinic. Met up with JT after work coz he's on call on Sat.*sigh* He was nice enough to bring me to Holland V for dinner as requested. I can't ask for more...
In fact, some patients also asked me why I am not staying longer....talking about patients always make my heart go weak. Patients (can be nasty or not) are the ones who keep me up and out in the morning..No matter how tired I am.
Recap bus stop incident:
How can Singaporeans being so not empathic? There is this old man coming up to the bus and yet no one let him have a seat. Can't afford to continue to watch such ugly scene, I simply just pointed to that auntie and told the uncle to sit there. Of course, that auntie gave up her seat for the old man almost immediately. Come on, is it necessary for her to consider that long to give up the seat for the needy? Some people...
What's happening on the last Friday
Thank goodness. I got a chance to sleep in till late. I am so lacking of sleep and that explained my big panda eyes that refuses to go away. Met up with Vien and took a train to Raffles to meet Annie for lunch. Haven't seen Annie for donkey years and she looked great and yakking quickly as ever. Raffles MRT has changed so much..... Then, Vien and myself went Orchard for shopping therapy. Bought books, shoes and clothes......bad girl.
Around....
gonna sleep.

Went up to the ward where I used to be a nurse and bid farewell to the nursing officer. I manage to feed the baby guppies before I left the clinic. Met up with JT after work coz he's on call on Sat.*sigh* He was nice enough to bring me to Holland V for dinner as requested. I can't ask for more...
In fact, some patients also asked me why I am not staying longer....talking about patients always make my heart go weak. Patients (can be nasty or not) are the ones who keep me up and out in the morning..No matter how tired I am.
Recap bus stop incident:
How can Singaporeans being so not empathic? There is this old man coming up to the bus and yet no one let him have a seat. Can't afford to continue to watch such ugly scene, I simply just pointed to that auntie and told the uncle to sit there. Of course, that auntie gave up her seat for the old man almost immediately. Come on, is it necessary for her to consider that long to give up the seat for the needy? Some people...
What's happening on the last Friday
Thank goodness. I got a chance to sleep in till late. I am so lacking of sleep and that explained my big panda eyes that refuses to go away. Met up with Vien and took a train to Raffles to meet Annie for lunch. Haven't seen Annie for donkey years and she looked great and yakking quickly as ever. Raffles MRT has changed so much..... Then, Vien and myself went Orchard for shopping therapy. Bought books, shoes and clothes......bad girl.
Around....
gonna sleep.
Continuation on blog from Singapore
I think working in Singapore can be quite hectic. Besides working the usual 5 days from 8.30-5.30pm, I would only get a chance to meet friends after work. My philosophy is to make use of the opportunity to earn $ while still young. Of course, I wouldn't want to grow old and live in poverty.
So glad to catch up with friends again here and there. Uhm..I have to admit that I still got a small portion that I haven't catch up yet.
Meeting up with Zena was lovely just before she returned to Uk to finish her med degree. It's funny how we met up initially was in Perth, then in Singapore and hopefully, London will be our next meeting place. Esther and Dan were my nursing buddies - how can i ever be thankful for their friendship and generousity. Dan bought me a pair of Swaovsky(dunno how to spell) earrings while Esther got me some italian brand toiletries with a BOND CD for my birthday. Also went out with Wen and Lyn on my b'day night to Indochin -quite a cool jazzy place. The strawberry daquari was kinda strong though.
Jess bought me Turkish lunch at Eastpoint.Gosh, think we had an over-dosed of chicken meals that day.Beri and Susan planned a surprise b'day pinic for me at East Coast. Very very sweet of them to bring a bottle of wine, more bbq chicken +chip = quite a fatty meal. The b'day bonous was a OSIM eyecare massager.*lol* Eugene was more direct. He gave me cash and asked to buy a dress myself ;p
I had a good time spent with JT. The night before I left for Hongkong, we went out for dinner+pool at Chinese swimming club after work. Uh, it's amazing how many familar faces you can bump into. Firstly, it's the medical secretary to his sec friend and a cardio reg.Again, I enjoyed the pool session best and no doubt I am not so good in it.
Be back later....

Blog from Singapore
It's been 2 weeks since I am back in Singapore. Things have been going pretty well except for the hot and humid weather.The best thing is meeting up with lotsa friends that I've not catch up for the past 2 years or so. In fact, at this moment, I am running out of time to meet more friends. Sure enough, the nightlife in Singapore is still the best which can't be compared to Perth at all. Met up with all the relatives on mom's side (including the cousins in M'sia)and I was given a nice prata mamak treat from my cousins. Since they bought a new car in M'sia, we managed to go Kulai for quickie shopping before returning home to Singapore. What a shame that I didn't manage to stay longer enough at Cousin Ling's place :<
Met up with JT for movie and dinner. Sigh* How can JT don't have a g.f? Sometimes I wonder coz he is always so patience and good matured in character.Of course, had a dinner meet up with my sistas and ET at Lao Beijing resturant followed by Chinajump. That jump place is filled with too many ang mohs but as long as there is free flow of drinks-who really cares anyway.
Later of the week, g.fs and some dudes decided to go to Balaclava for drinks. Uhm, think we over-drank till I am so "seh" or "nua" the next day. I guess E is very happy when it comes to drinking. She appeared to be more relax and smiling after a couple of rounds. W is really sweet to send me to work almost everyday. It's a good chance for us to communicate while going off to work together.
Beri and susan- my 2 sports buddies had a up close and personal cable car dinner.........
to be continued. I am off work!! Don't want to OT for nothing.

Moved!
Still no internet connection until the 9th Feb. One more week to go before I get my butt on the flight back to Singapore.I am missing my family, friends and best thing is, Eileen smsed me to say that she has arranged an expendition for the g.fs. Meaning of expendition is we'll usually organised an activity of cycling trip up across Benjamine Shears Bridge or sentosa beach volleyball. Everything is going on pretty ok but I guess, this isn't my first time sharing a house with other people so it's not biggie to me if the mates have their own way of doing things. Frankly speaking, learning how to live with other people for the past few years has mold me into someone who is more patience, more forgiving, more easy going, and learn to say 'no'. The only thing I can't stand is when someone whinges or complains too much. If for a good reason, that's fine with me. But when the whinge gets overloaded on my ears, what would you choose to do readers? For me, I would walk away. Why I should make my ears so unbearable to such irritants.
J rang me 2 days ago and let me know that he has bought a private practice in Castlehills, Northen Sydney. This is a piece of good news which means, once he is settled at the practice, he 'may' offer me a job. Approximately 80% load of patients are for biomechanics rather than doing nails nails nails all the time.
Went for a open air movie last night with Preema, Steve and Freda. Not too bad for a price of 10 bucks 2 movies (Mr Incredible and Ella Enchanted).

Moving starts over this weekend
Ok, after this week, no more internet till the connection is up on 9th Feb. Why? Because that's how Ozzie doing their things.....take ages to do something simple like getting a line fix up. Geez, I feel as if I am gonna go through a period of cold turkey without internet. U know, one can get symptoms like shaking fingers, unknown tremours, high anxiety level coz don't know how to kill time especially at night.
Or perhaps, I should take prozac to keep myself happy or valium to concuss on bed early.
I am still packing....the stuffs are amazing. I feel like throwing away more but don't know how. All seems to be very useful to me.

Road rage shall not be tolerated
I wonder why the Ozzies like to hog up on one lane even thought there are 2 lanes going in the same direction. I decided to change lane since I am kinda stuck in the line of cars and yet no one is willing to make a move to the next lane. So I checked the road lines (making sure overtaking is legal), sigalled at least 3 secs and check my blind spot before swerving my wheel. Who knows, half way through the turning, this maroon family car just speed up behind me. At this moment of time, i can't leave my half way steered wheel there so might as well changed to the lane as quickly as possible. Bear in mind that the speed limit on that road is only 60km/hr.
Just less than 10 seconds later, we stopped at the red traffic light. She was behind my car , pointing her middle finger as I can see from the front mirror. The next thing was she jumped out of her car , leaving her young passengers in car seats, came up to me and gave a whack on my car windscreen. Geez, her knuckles must be in real pain. She just speed off in her family car after that. Of course, she almost ruined my day but I did submit an incident report to the police.
Ozzie polices are ..uhm..so inefficient. This Mr Police told me that unless I decided to get her to court then they will follow it through. But I reckon, the police should at least show some warnings to her that it is wrong to road rage and endangering her kids in the car. The thing is I am going back to Singapore also........going to court is quite troublesome here plus it can take up to months for the court to be avaliable. There has got to be more efficient ways to handle these trivial but important matters. Then again, their brains are probably stuffed up with too many hamburgers and snags (hotdogs).
Ok, that added another 'Xiaoren' for me to hit on the list. Curse her to have laosai for weeks.

My best friend's wedding in June
As you can see from the title, one of my sistas getting married in June. So have to save up for a trip to Singapore by then. Ohh, just happened to walk by this shop which is having 50% storewide. I ended up buying a dress where I can wear to the dinner. A bit sexy with a ribbon in the front. Sequine beads are attached at the bottom of the dress. It also comes with adjustable bra straps and most importantly, the price was reduced from AU$49 to AU$14.50. I've attached a pic all those who wonder how it looks like.
Spent some time last night trying to summarise a case study to a senior podiatrist. Poor dude, he has been having infected toes for almost 2 years.
When the next week comes, i'll be pretty busy sorting out my mails and telephone. bugger*
Right now I need a good shower especially after being covered with sand and sea.

My temper & My 1st solo surgery
One of the prisoners exceeded my limit of patience yesterday. "GO AWAY"- raising my voice without even looking at him. He told me his problems and expect me to follow his treatment regime. What the hell I am here for in the first place. The conclusion was he wanted me to write a letter of referral to allow him to have his shoes from the property to be taken out. The prisons have strict rules that I can only do what I can. Unless some poor chaps having deformed feet or losing a toes, that's when I'll only write a medical referral to the supervisor. Hate being manipulated by these people.#$*%U)^(
Oh! I've done a total nail avulsion on a big toe on someone on my own. Feel so proud of myself now. TEEHEE!!
I missed I but I hate his guts. My friend even called him slack prick with no respect. But I am going to write a 'final' letter to him - once and for all to tell him I actually missed him. Uhm, well, like what my friend said, he should be flattered that someone is missing him. I mean , it's not everyday that you get messages like I missed you. Morever it took me a while before deciding to write or not. Then again, I feel that I've got nothing to lose. In regardless of the outcome, I am prepared mentally. At least, I've done my best part of it. I must always tell myself don't procrastinate to get things done because life is too short.
I may have been swept away by the Tusnami if it did strike 4 years ago in Phuket. I was standing and relaxing Patong Beach and now, the beautiful images of the island can only remain in my memories.
So here, I've learnt to be more upfront with my feelings rather than hide it at the bottom of my heart...

Got house but no phoneline
That's one of my criteria of getting a room in a house. Must have phoneline socket. Hopefully things will work it out with the landlord on Tue. If not, I'll probably stuffed up.
Working with so many oldies, many of them like to ask me if I've got any boyfriend and somewhat, they will start to relate their enduring love stories to me. Think I should start writing and compile them into a book.Who knows, I may make a profit out of it.

Love story of the week:
(*names have been changed to protect the privacy act)
Mrs Raj who is a chronic arthritis sufferer, stepped into the clinic 2 days ago for the first time to get her feet treated. "I was born in India in the 1930s," as she continued with a strong indian accent. "My dad passed away when I was only 11. It's only natural for my mom to be protective of me."
ME:" so your husband came along with you to Australia?"
Mrs Raj paused for a moment before she began her next sentence. " I was married to an English man and he died of cancer 4 years ago. I still miss him very much. He takes good care of me especially when I am sick. I think of him when I go for my Doctor's appointments. He was a good man. Before he died, he told my children to take care of me."
ME:" how did you get away from the olden times of India to marry a white guy?"
Mrs Raj:" I met him through a friend's friend. He was in the cricket team. He actually changed from staying in Royal English Force to Royal India Force to be with me. Even though I didn't want to stay in England, it was too cold for me. I told my mom I can trust him. But there were a lot of misconceptions of white guys being flirty, sex and sleep around. I had the best time of my life."
ME: trying hard not to sniff behind my mask.

NO HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cham cham cham. Weather is extremely hot today with a high temperature of 38 degrees celsius. Forest fires are happening on certain parts of the Perth today and even threaten people's lives or houses to the extend. Smoke and haze have been going around suffocating my nose.
Wanna go swimming later the afternoon. Guess what? KNN- the weather becomes gloomy and hot. The moment I get into the ladies change room, the announcement came on like this:" All people please get out of pool now as there is a lightening strike." Damn...... I asked for a refund then and went home.
How fun is that.
Oh one of my patients particularly like to ask me this question:" have you found yourself a boyfriend?".
*sigh*
I wish I can say something else than a 'no'.

I'm getting wrathful......
No news on the house. At a point I feel like grabbing a newspaper and start driving around to look a decent place on my own. Throughout my stay in Perth, I've never across so much trouble to look a house to stay. Right now, it is such a long tendious process. Suggestion on a long list of houses is impractical and time consuming.Rather, it is also difficult to tell people to be realistic with the options of choosing the houses as we know we are all different in certain ways. By the way, I tend to choose to live close by for easy access to many places (for instance is my boss place). Driving up to 2-3 destinations to work in a day can be quite tiring and the last thing on my mind is going home fast and rest. Then again, some people think just because I drive and that doesn't make a difference.
Ohh yes, the differences are petrol fees, time, accessibility .....
On the other hand, why I am explaining so much here.?Guess the true drivers would understand how I feel.
Went over to a g.f's place for dinner. Don't know what's got into her head, her expession of speech plus usage of words are not so friendly. I chose to keep quiet. No point arguing with someone not in the right state of mind. There are just some people out there who doesn't think before they open their mouths...

Luck-less
No luck with the house yet. Just walking via different house agents to get some list for rental properties. Wish me luck once more *again*. Left about 2 weeks to search for my new 'home'.
Otherwise, things are pretty much the same. I'm looking forward to meet my vast amount of friends back home and family. It's always nice to be back to the home nest minus Dad's/Mom's nagging. Eugene rang me yesterday but I was driving like 10okm/hr on the freeway. Subsequently, we still managed to chat up a little over the net on that night itself. Ohhh, I got myself a job as a locum podiatrist in Singapore! The bling bling is good and I can't complained much. Well, that would really come in handy since I have my mobile, rent, internet, credit card, bills to pay prior leaving. Soon, it will be the car insurance, professional indemnity insurance and car registration to pay in the upcoming months. That's how I plan my financial status - always take a step ahead in term of money matters.
I wanna go on holiday when I'm back in Singapore if possible. Thinking about 4 days Hongkong or just China. Still got mambo and clubbing with my bro and g.fs, and cousins. cham cham. Not sure shall I paste a forum to meet travelling friends in singapore or not....
Friendster- realised that I am getting more reply from my old sec school pals! That's great and hopefully will meet them up eventually when I'm back in SG.
Have to ring a surgeon tomorrow to ask her opinion of this very interesting case I've seen at the prison. It's ultra disgusting to look so I shall not harm my readers by putting it up....even though there is a temptation to do that.
I hate missing I...... I need to be stronger than before and I will......What if I ever see him again? How would I react? In fact, after those few nights of writing essays on my notebook, I am thinking less of I.*shrugs*
VN and myself had a little prank. We started to give around her ex-boss number coz he is such an arsehole who doesn't think before he says anything. See, what goes around turn around. VN is one of the rare pals whom I can chat anything under the sun. I can say she is the brainy one ..always full of idea and keen on pressing the gums to release the pus (ya she is a dentist).
No luck with the house yet. Just walking via different house agents to get some list for rental properties. Wish me luck once more *again*. Left about 2 weeks to search for my new 'home'.
Otherwise, things are pretty much the same. I'm looking forward to meet my vast amount of friends back home and family. It's always nice to be back to the home nest minus Dad's/Mom's nagging. Eugene rang me yesterday but I was driving like 10okm/hr on the freeway. Subsequently, we still managed to chat up a little over the net on that night itself. Ohhh, I got myself a job as a locum podiatrist in Singapore! The bling bling is good and I can't complained much. Well, that would really come in handy since I have my mobile, rent, internet, credit card, bills to pay prior leaving. Soon, it will be the car insurance, professional indemnity insurance and car registration to pay in the upcoming months. That's how I plan my financial status - always take a step ahead in term of money matters.
I wanna go on holiday when I'm back in Singapore if possible. Thinking about 4 days Hongkong or just China. Still got mambo and clubbing with my bro and g.fs, and cousins. cham cham. Not sure shall I paste a forum to meet travelling friends in singapore or not....

Slacking Sunday
Should I change my blog address?
It's funny how people after reading my blog, they turn and twist the 'facts' to another co-friends which resulted me having to answer multiple questions.
Bugger off that. (note that I've put a disclaimer on the homepage)
Anyway, weather was kinda weird today. Wasn't a good day for beach with so much clouds in the sky. Think I'd rather stay at home and throw more junks away.
Oh, haven't found a place to move..boohoo!

Mint-coloured dress
After car servicing, my g.f and myself decided to waste our time shopping in the city. Saw this really nice green mint tube dress and yet not revealing for the price of $54 as reduced from $80. I can never carry off those ultra sexy a -few -pieces -covered -body clothings. Somehow, with my 'decent' looking face, no way I can be more sultry than sweet in those sexy cuts wear. I want a more 'changeable' face! *kidding* - I am happy with what I have anyway. I always prefer to wear brightly coloured clothes than those dull boring colours (eg, shades of grey).
Girlfriend F was lovely to buy me a nice lunch and with one set of meal +drink purchased, we get to sing an hour of karaoke. *chuckles* . F also took a calender with her by mistake that she thought it was for free. Then again, the stack of calender was piled up next to a collection of free local chinese community newspaper. Too bad for the boss then.
Tried Smsing the landlord to view the potential house and yet heard nothing from him/her. Bah.
Oh, someone apparently scratched my car.........What goes around, comes around. Curse him/her hands to be chopped off by someone or preferably, let them turn ill rotten and gangrenous. Whoever you are, you deserve it.
Back to ebay's business......

More missons to be accomplished
OOoook, my mom has left Perth for Singapore today. This afternoon, we went to tour agency to book my flight back to Singapore on Valentine's day. Isn't that great that I can avoid to see those lovey dovey couples on the streets. At least I get to enjoy half of the day flying inthe air while busy switching between channels on the SQ's inflight entertaiment.
So that's mission accomplished number 1.
Next, house hunting begins from now onwards. Dateline is to move out at the end of the month. The thought of calling those agents, emailing, oragnise time to view,and driving around make me wanna puke. Bah*In addition, i;ve got about 20 organisations to report for changing of my address. Some required a formal letter to be written too. *double bah*
I've written 2 complaint emails to the following employees. If nothing or the matter of me not getting paid has not resolved, I will write a formal letter to the Wageline. So that people will learn not to take my service for granted.
Think my hormone level is fluctuating'. I just wanna to be left alone and not sure why, I always enjoy shopping, fixing stuffs or doing things myself. Not say that I am a selfish person but seriously, I would rather look at peace and traquility that resent on my mind.I would prefer to ask for help if I really need to. Should I say that maybe I do possess a strong independence character.
The search for a house continues....*yawns*

Woos
Pays from prisons are not coming in on time. I think my level of patience is exceeding beyong my limits. I am going to ring the Ministry of Treasury and blurt at them for their inefficiencies. That would be the first thing to do in the morning.
Next, remember to ring to pay for the medical supplies via credit card deduction.
I am moving out soon to stay with another girlfriend. So I shall say goodbye to the student accomodation housing at the end of month. Tee hee. Got all my boxes prepared and anytime I am ready to pack up.
Need to start working hard in the month of Jan.I am going back to Singapore on Valentine's Day but I've yet paid for the ticket.
Oh, I've just receieved a letter from the podiatry assocation saying that now podiatrists are allowed to use the title 'Dr' but at the end of the name must have the word '(podiatrist)' if one fufill the criteria as below: Masters holder, 4 years postgrad experience, must register in Australia and so on. In addition, those podiatrists who are certified to do acupuncture on foot and ankle (mainly) are allowed as long as they follow the sterility and legisation rules hold by the board.

Tim Sum Buffet $11 per head
So full on my tum tum! Didn't had any dinner or lunch because I had a huge tim sum buffet feast with mom and my g.f - F. Don't be surprise that our usual tim sum routine is to sit up to 3 hours in the resturant and savouring the food slowly. Not scoffing down those food of course as unlike those 'kiasu' peeps. Guess we had the most rounds of tow huay (beancurd).......almost like 4 bowls per person.
Weather is abit on the cool side today. Thank goodness that I brought a cardi out with me. Actually I always enjoy the weather in their high 20s temperature.
Landlord came over and I had to move out by end of Jan. SO strange. Mr A is able to sign for 6 months lease and I can't. It's funny how the landlord said that someone also want Mr A's room and yet they still allowed him to stay on. Anyway, I had enough of staying with students. So goodluck to the landlord if she can find 2 people to move in straight as soon as possible. Moving is such a big hassel...the thought of driving around to look for a decent place to stay is such a pain in my head and a**.
Need to edit the pics from the trip in Kalgoorlie and hopefully I can find time to paste it on my Virtual tourist website soon.
JS showed me this ultra cool website: http://web.canon.jp/Imaging/astro/pages_e/01_e.html

Happy New Year 2005
In fact, I didn't stay up late to welcome the new year. The neck pain and headache have been bugging me since yesterday. All I want is to rest. Hitting onto the bed by 9pm and woke up like 8yish in the morning. Mom made some breakfast and I feel like going back to bed again. Don't know why as I grow older, I need more sleep.Perhaps, I also need to identify several tactics to rejuvenate myself. (*hint: resolution number 1).
Since I've got my permanent residency, the resolution number 2 is getting a full job. There are jobs everywhere and it's just a matter of where one wanna work.Something to think about...
Resolution number 3: save save save! For my ultimate Euro dream in 06 and a nice apartment.
Resolution number 4: Pack my junks.
A short family history:
My maternal grandma is brought up by fosters parents where they also had 2 daughters themselves. My m.grandma is considered the youngest among the sisters then. Her foster parents also brought back another son but eventually he decided to return to his own natural parents. My grandma is supposedly leading a very comfortable life after she got married her husband who owned a small grocery shop. When WWII broke out, Japanese invaded Malaya where most of the men fleed into the forest to hide. That's how my grandma never see from grandad again. At that time, she already had her 1st child ( my uncle). Later on, my grandma married her 2nd husband who works as a rubber tapper. Together with my grandma, they brought up another 2 children (2nd uncle and my mom). How interesting.......I wish I can dig out more about the ancestry past.
