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.

Toscana

I just received a postcard from Rea, my darling g.f who lives in Budapest and currently she's having a wonderful holiday with her dreamlover in Sardiniaxx?? Anyway, she was so sweet and we almost talked everyday on MSN without failed.

Work is alright and I had 2 patients in the morning. Spend a little extra time to talk to my last patient and poor him, gotta undergo a surgery to remove the lumps on his lungs. *sigh* I do hope he would get over the surgery soon. Can't stand seeing him breathless all the time.

Slept in the afternoon coz still feeling rather sick :< However i still went out with R to the city and had a lovely coffee session at Morrisons.What a waste R is gonna go back to SG for good. she's such a dear friend who cares to listen and partay partay.

Pa rang today.....and it;s Father's day this sunday..He wants me to write a letter to him and let him know what I feel about my pa. Or should I say, how much I appreicate him as my pa..
See, I am always injected full of traditional family values..:O)

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.

Kevin (a Canadian traveller and friend) was overwhelmed by the Perth girls ;p  

Had a cookie and cream cocktail, followed by a shot of 'COWBOYS' and mutiple glasses of wine thereafter.(*Click on pic for clearer view) 

ME, Kelly, Leah and Anna getting ready to rock Benny's bar (*click on pic for clearer view) 

Did nothing much today. Woke up, got dressed and met up with Anna down at Fremantle. Prior that I went to Carousel for shopping craz at the Buzz by getting 3 tops for $40. Very satisfied with my deal for the day. Anna and myself went over to Pirates Backpackers at Freo to meet up with Kevin, our Canadian friend. All of us had drinks at the local cafe and headed down to Anna's place in Coogee watching Bhangra's music video *lol*

Tell me where are the coconut/palms trees? Oh, we also managed to catch Kev's Full Moon Party video in Thailand.That looks really cool and wish I'll get a chance to party this wild too!
Played pool at Anna's place and damn, how can we girls losing to kev.He's sux at pool enough.....*eyes roll up*

Anyway, wanna enjoy my Sat night fever before I get my butt down to study on Monday.*sigh* exam ..again..
Cough is much better with antibiotics....uh oh, wonder how those amoxil interact with Becks......

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 **#%*)%......

Deep sorrows

J and myself went shopping last Saturday but unfortunately, the shops we went to didn't carry the international designed brands that he likes.Still, he bought a nice pair of shoes from Colorado and a jacket from Myers. And then, drove back to my place as I need to get change for a party that evening before sending him home. We kissed again and even though there wasn't any sighs of holding hands at the mall. I'm beginning to be in doubt of what I am to him actually. Friends don't kiss each other passionately and on the other hand, I don't expect he asked me to be his g.f at all.That is absolutely out of the question of course. Am I being "used" here or accomodating his or my emptiness without a partner? Right now, I wish to have the strength to get over him.I think this is the best choice rather than suffering from tremendous amount of heartbreakings later on.

I feel so weak and vulnerable when it comes to matters related to heart.
Got back from Church and I started to weep in my room.....

On the lighter note, it was a wild happening saturday night. Partied from fremantle to north bridge. Firstly, it was Anna's b'day at Benny's bar and drove back home and Shougi came over and pick me to Metro. It was a fantastic night with the uni students living at the hostel.Uhm, think i didn;t even pay a single cent for any drinks.Hmm...but it was good fun after all. Oh those, toesteppers--> hate them at the clubs.EEKS

Thursday night was a little exceptional. I met up with J in Northbridge.Didn't realise he was sitting in the cafe and yet I was messaging him outside the cafe to ask exactly where he was. I felt a little embrassed though..when he first looked into my eyes.From there, I asked if he wanted to go to Universal bar for a drink. Indeed, I made the right choice and the band was playing Barry white's songs..."can't get enough of your love baby..."
J bought me the first drink and in return, I bought him one after that. Initially, he refused my offer but I just reassured him. We had a fair bit of chat of his family background and so on.At least, he is working now as a house painter which gives him fair amount of money to spend. He had this funny expression on his face which I made him do it many times and of course, I had a good laugh out of it. ;p
He stole a kiss on my lips in the bar and well, I took it with a pinch of salt actually.Not until when we walked out of the bar where he started to hold my hands.I dropped him off at this place after that.Gee , he seems to be living in an victorian style house and eventually, I went in and took a look at the place. Met his housemate, M who is another Irish girl he lives with. He showed me her room and his room and uhm....... we kissed even more and he just simply refused to let me leave.By the time I wanted to get back home was 2am.Anyway, we just slept (nothing dramatic happens )till the next morning that i sent him off to train station to work. Not forgetting that he gave me another nice long kiss and we're going shopping tomorrow!yay*
I keep telling myself this: gotta be more sensible before making a decision. Just a rather brief statement to remind myself.More tmorrow...

Tonight's dinner menu:
rice with stir-fry veg+ mince meat in oyster sauce

Work is alright I supposed but I was a little upset or feeling rather disappointed. Some folks at the senior citizens complained about moi not 'caring' enough or whatever shit. Anyway, my boss didn't tell me exactly the story. Boss said he is also not every sure about what exactly is happening there but hey, the folks doesn't pay as much as private consultation charges. The usual consult time for each patient is about 20 mins and that include doing some adminstrative work like collecting the fees, writing out notes, and making the next appointment date. I haven't detect anything unusual from those old folks and my bet is they probably 'back-stabbed' me with their rumblings to someone's else. Seriously, at all the practices where I'm working at is dealing with all the veterans and elderly people only.And nothing else more than that. Yeah who knows, they(bosses) might be exploiting me instead. I feel so stagnant at this point and i got the urge to explore all other different areas of podiatry please ...rather than having nails, callus, corns. I am not complaining being bored but at least, they got to let me have a fair bit of mixed varieties.
With all these shi*t that is happening, one of the bosses probably thinks I might not competent enough to handle the patients at private setting.*sigh* Ultimately, before I left the clinic, boss said don't take anything too hard where he just wants to reflect whatever he has heard 'indirectly' from the patients. Indeed, truth hurts.

If only people learn to appreciate a bit more in life, the world will be a much better place to live in. Unfortunately, in the real world, the story ain't exactly like this.

Varicosities

I slept too late last night chatting with Vimes and ended up feeling really lethargic the whole of today. Woke up at 7 yish in the morning to go to Uni and then followed by a haircut n colour appointment down at Northbridge. Usually I don't talk much to the hairstylist and let him to do whatever he wants with my hair. I rather enjoy browsing through numerous of fashion mags there.*shrugs* I'm just tired I guess and he even gave me like a mini massage on my shoulders?? For the first time that perks me up a little *wink*
After that,drove down to dunno the-name-of-street to this Viet Chinese cafe called Pha Vin (I think) for lunch. Wanted to renew my nursing staff card and the agency moved to Wellington st instead of St Georges Tce! *sigh gotta make another trip again.Went to POST office for a while and did a bit of food shopping.
Oh, i gave a name card to my hairstylist coz' he complained of foot pain from standing too long hours ;p
Had a quick chat with the Aunty Jessica working at Kongs (chinese food grocery store).She's a nice lady and certainly know which are the days I'll be at the clinic working.Moreoever, the clinic is just a few doors down the street from the chinese store.

I emailed the Irish dude and probably we'll be catching up over the weekend.We shall see then....

Daniel called me from Singapore! Poor him suffering from some incompetent valves and he almost had stripping of the veins done! Nevertheless, he choses to have laser therapy and glad he's feeling much better and lesser pain. We chatted for half an hour and I reckon I do need some compression stockings too with my medial saphenous veins slighty bulging out on my left leg.

Woke up this morning and made myself some yummy egg and bacon muffin with a cuppa espresso. Feeling somewhat tired from the late night on Friday.Yeah probably getting old...someone told me I'm starting to behave like an 'old' woman. Actually, shouldn't be the word 'matured' which is more appropriate?

I was intending to stay at home for the whole of Sunday ..I should be printing notes off the uni's website but I'm just *ucking lazy.Opps* (excuse my French). Anna rang me and we decided to head down to Harbour town and basically, squandering my money on some cheap but nice tops from Table 8 and Esprit.
That goes the whole of Sunday arvo.EEKS* Not very productive I must say.

Irish dude emailed me if I was keen to go out with a drink next week.Haven't reply him but I'll think about it.......;p

One more exam and assignment to go!!!! I can't wait to reach till the end of the road on studying.

This is so whacky! *Click me* 

I love wondering around with my digi cam on hands.......... it is always a nice thing to share the view of sunset with family, friends or your loved one. 

12.10pm

I have never slept till so late as compared to the past those months. My usual day always begin early in the morning until evening around 4pm. At this time, (especially during winter)I'll never fail to hibernate under the blanket.Yeah I know, I can be a real Ms Piggy. *onik*

There are so many things which I need to work it out eventually:
Firstly, I need to start work a lot more to pay off the migration fees.Next, going to Nursing agency next week to sort out my new staff card and I'll be ready to return to my nurse job over the weekends. Occasionally I'll be working at Artisan orthotic lab making foot insoles.It is quite a bit of messy job where one would get plasters all over at the end of the day.Otherwise, i'll concentrate on my podiatry job on weekdays.
Well, the above plan is for the coming June /July holidays. Public liability insurance +car registration are the main bills to pay in June.
If only i can work full time and I can't because of the eligibilty of my visa status allows me to only work 20 hours/week and unlimited hours during school holidays only.

Sometimes, I feel my body is 'breaking apart' soon....and yet I'm just hanging there...

Right now, the main priority is to study and sit for my exam coming in June. Till then, that marks the completion of another BSc degree. ;)

Oh got a postcard from Bobby from Korea!heh, land of yummy kimchee?
