More of Mr Banker
He messaged me on MSN after my arrival in Perth. I ignored it while thinking of the 'nasty things' he once said to me. Following few days later, he sent to me another message indicating " I know you hate me but I do miss you".
So I went on asking why he did said all those not-so-nice things to me in the first place and expecting me to talk to him again??
He apologised profusely as he wasn't expecting me to be so cut up in the conversation in the first place. What the? Of course I'll be pissed and who he thinks I am to be that submissive little lady. Ptoooi!
I tried to be nice but if someone who pushes my limit I'll definitely have the urge of stabbing that person with my size 10 scalpel.
"It's the past, forget it." Afterall, da1 ren2 you3 da4 liang4. Why should I let this prick to 'mess' up my mind.
At last, we have some decent normal conversations. He asked if I wanted just to be friends or more. I asked him in return " are you looking for something more than?". He replied:" hopefully".
-_- eeeee
Firstly, he doesn't really know me. Secondly, we are going to be miles apart and how is this going to work out in the first place. This is not being realistic at all. Thirdly, I'll be starting my new job which definitely takes up 3/4 of the day. I don't expect to be knock off on time subjecting the number of patients I got to see.
Like what DDU has said, he's just being desperate ;p
This is a message to all potential Mr Dates:
I work in a healthcare area where the patient loading is high and demanding. Don't expect me to turn up your date on time. Of course I will be responsible enough to let you know that if I am going to be late via call or sms. All I'm asking is your understanding.
Thinking of the rat race in Sg makes me sick to think of it sometimes.

Tuesday
It's nearly half the price that I have to pay for a movie which happens on every Tuesday. Right now I'm just waiting for D to get home in an hour's time so we can catch a movie together later this evening.
In fact, I've just came back from Joe's Shack, a seafood place down in Fremantle. Cara, a fellow Aussie pod, ordered a large bowl of succulent chilli mussels plus a main of caesar salad.The weather was simply fantastic with a temperature of 27 degrees celsius. We had a good catch up on her trip to America , England and on how she survived the locum work with NHS and dodgy housemates..etc.. Trust me, dodgy housemates can give you the worst nightmares that you never expected. Me, being the moving guru, knows it all the dirty tricks from such peeps.That's why I always had my fingers crossed if I'm gonna move into a new place.
**************
It would be my first time celebrating Chinese New year after 7 years in Oz. Some of the girls that I know had already made their manicure/pedicure/hair salon appointments. Aiyo,I wonder why should someone going through all the trouble dolling up just for the lunar new year. I mean not unless one is attending a big hollywood or Oscar party. Maybe I'm just not feminine enough. Even going to Orchard Road, my gfs need to dress up to the nine. Singapore's such a humid place and putting on a pair of jeans can be such a pain for me.
My mom can't even stand me wearing a pair of Havanias red thongs (read:slippers) wherever I go. She felt I should wear something at least more presentable. *eyes roll up*
*************
The boxes which I've sent from Sydney to Singapore have arrived! My dad rang me up and said he is going to pick it up together with my bro. Yipppeeeeeeeeeeee. Means that I can escape paying the depot taxes. *WIDE GRIN*
*************
I've been thinking that it's about time to upgrade myself in terms of continuing education. Well, at least not until my bro has finished his studies in 2 years time plus the amount of 'debt' I've to support him through.
It's just a thought ;)

HOT lah!
The climate in Perth has been absolutely heated up to the max.No less than 35 degrees celsius for the last few days at least. *feeling faint* I think I've spent more money buying bottled water than anything else whenever I'm out. I was even thinking of just putting my bathers on at home. Since I'm staying with my gf and family, it wouldn't be so nice afterall ;p
For the past one week in Perth, I've been roaming around Perth city, Subiaco, Bursewood and not forgetting Freo. For one thing which I'm sure of is that I can't leave Freo without getting a Gingerbread man. Caught the fireworks on Aussie Day at the foreshore. Had stonegrill dinner at Mt Lawly with D and Gris. Had a mini girly chillout on Saturday night watching like 12 Jay Chow's MTV. Got a few dresses at Kookai from Garden City.Wheee!! Caught the Epic
Movie at Carousel which was kinda entertaining and silly.
Moving on to the 2nd week in WA, I'll probably spend more time catching up with Ann, Beni, and Cara. My previous workplace has given me a 45-dollar Borders voucher which means......
More books = heavier lugguage ;(
Rang up the tenant board in Sydney earlier. They've accidentally put in bond money into someone's else account. So lousy adminstration. *pissing off look*
I've got so many picccccccccs to put up!
****************************************
Bonous entry:
Since I'm waiting for my car to arrive from Sydney, I have to take a public transport wherever I go. Every frigging bus driver kept on asking me if I've got a concession ticket which no doubt I've already specified I just want a standard tix.
I can be forever young leh.
Heh!heh !heh!

Post from Western Australia
OOOO what a feeling! It's nice to be back to Perth where I can get the chance to meet up my friends. D picked me up from the airport and we headed off to the city to have a nice Korean lunchie. For dinner, since's it B's (D's sister) birthday, we had a 7- course chinese dinner together. It's been so long I had a real decent chinese meal. YUM YUM YUM.
3 weeks of good O' holiday in Perth before I start the rat race in Singapore. One thing for sure is that I'm gonna missed the short working hours in Oz.I'll miss the time I can get to read a book while waiting in between patients and get paid at the same time. I'll miss the roadtrips and beaches.And those long holiday breaks!!! I think I've only work 10months or less for last year.
Meet up with Dan for the last 2 days. He's one of my besties that I've ever got. Since he knows I've got a tight-ass (budget), he got me 2 Esprit tops and 1 Witchery belt. It is just one of those things that you don't mind spending on for a good friend. Same goes for me as well. I'm happy to get a little pressie for his mom's birthday and buy him dinner etc...I must say that to most people often see it there's something going on once a female get along well with a dude.
I can count at least half of my 10 fingers that I've been besties with some dudes for over 10 years. AP , the male colleague whom I've worked with in Sydney, offered me accomodation on my final overnight stay with his family. His dad even cooked a large brekky early in the morning so I could have it before my flight to Perth at 8am. In return, I got them a bottle of Savignon as a token of appreciation. It's all these wonderful things/favours that people do for each other which make life a lot easier. Unlike my ex -boss in Sydney, he often choses to help me but expect me to return a favour to him. *stab stab stab*

Farewell Sydney
2 more days to go. I've decided to call it quits in Sydney. Embarking on another different kind of journey facing with new challenges ahead. Last weekend, my time has been spent on visiting various touristy places such as Powerhouse museum, National State Library, Darling habour, Hard rock cafe, Paddington till I developed an extreme pain on my peroneals and cuboid region from excessive walking perhaps.
Had an xray done and I'm convinced that I've got some soft tissue issue.
Had an interesting day at the hospital. All new medical interns are welcome to attend the allied health exhibitions. Set up a min osce test for the new grad Drs and for each correct answer, they are allowed to collect a docket to indicate they have visited the 'stalls'.
Today is the last day that I get to work with my favourite partner in crime, Mr French. He gave me a peck and a big teddy bear hug to wish me luck and goodbye. So touched ;(
Tess's gonna give me a lift home after work tomorrow as my car will be transferred to Perth via rail. Rachel has been bugging me to visit her at Bathurst. Guess I must have disappoint her again.
The whole department is gonna have pizza (without beer) for lunch as part of my farewell lunchie.
Next blog will be from Perth.

Lady Musgrave Island
DDU and myself booked a day trip to LMI. Since it will take us 2 hours of drive from Rockhampton to the Town of 1770, we were on the road slightly before 6am. Town of 1770 is the place where Captain James Cook has set his foot down.
By the time we reached the ferry port in Town of 1770, a large number of tourists were already there. We were warned of the massive swells in the sea and been advised to take some 'Travelcalm' to prevent seasickness. In the end, we popped some ginger pills and keeping our fingers crossed that we don't puke during the 2- hour rocky sea ride.
Gosh, the whole frigging ferry ride wasn't pleasant at all. Quite a number of people started renching and vomitting. One of the passengers got so sick that she has to be put on oxygen.
Once we arrived to the destination, the tour was split into 3 groups. We were in the first so we get to sit on a small boat to LMI. The island is formed as part of Great Barrier reef and also considered as a marine park. Campers are allowed on site with a daily fee of $9 AUD. The amazing thing about this island is the wildlife , which are mainly the birds and turtles, are protected. No reptiles are sighted.

I had so much fun snorkelling and checking out those big fishes! I wanna grab one of them and barbi-ed it.

Bonous entry: This guy sux
I'm not meeting Mr Banker afterall. During our MSN chat, he strongly felt that I should have tough up my stay in Sydney. Even though I've explained to him that my social life is diminishing rapidly throughout my stay in Syd, he gave an example how he stayed in Canberra for 5 years without friends. See, my logic is I'm that kind of person who needs a balance in life.
Career+social life = happy lady
Career + (-0) social life = grumpy lady
Bad Career + good social life = unhappy lady
Weird thing is he messaged me on xmas,new year and once he arrived back from KL. Quite persistent as he seems to be. At this point, I was thinking it could be worthwhile to keep some friendship before I leave for good. He went on rattling how bad the Singaporeans guys are. In general,99% of sg guys are nice to girls for a reason -> sex. He's like brainwashing me how bad it is to go back to work in Sg. So discouraging instead of giving me some motivation.
OK, enough of such ass****.
I am thankful that I've got fabulous friends who supported my decision and looking forward upon my return.Feeling bless indeed. And also friends who listen and take an interest of what I've got to say when I'm feeling in doubt.

Come away with me
Prior leaving for North Queenland, A rang and asked if I wanted to check out central coast of New South Wales. I happily agreed on the roadtrip as planned. Took us about one and a half hour drive where we get to meet another of A's friend, Sue.
Sue works as a pod fo 4 years in the town of Terrigal. She's earning so well that she's planning to go shopping for a brand new 4WD and trading off her Renault. Geez, I wanna work in Terrigal tooooooo. Our day was spent on beaches, sunshine, fish and chips. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrigal
**************************
Have you ever seen a house on the move? I mean the whole godfather house being moved from one spot to another. This is actually quite a common sight up in Queensland country town.

Ooooo the trailer is making its way very slowly on the roundabout
While sitting in DDU's Rover, I quickly grabbed my digi cam and took a snap of the house moving on a trailer. Very happening......

It's official
My savings is 4k poorer.
No leh, I don't invest or play with shares.
*****************
Today there was this 'strange' lady who came in telling me how pretty I am and why is it I've got no boyfriend. I find it 'strange' too when people asked me such questions. The fact is how I am suppose to know the answer in the first place?? Then she proceeded on asking me if I am wearing stockings. With politeness, I replied 'no' and explained that I've just been to Queensland where I got my tanned skin from.
The best part was she commented if my dad was English coz I appeared to look abit of 'mix' to her.
At this point, I just couldn't stop grinning... ...

Post from North Queensland (Love and Dates)
Here I am entering this entry using DDU's lappie. I have not felt so relaxing as compared to my busy life in Sydney(ok, can't be compared to rat race in Sg). Right now my life encompasses sleeping in, playing with DDU's dogs, exercise, eat, surfing and shopping. This Saturday, the girls are going on a trip to Lady Musgrave island where we'll spend our time on snorkelling and buffet-ing.Prior to that, we need to take a 2-hr drive down to the port for ferry boarding.
Dad called me up *again. I can tell he's so keen for me to get back home asap. On the other hand, he's bugging me to buck up my social life.*shrugs* So I told him I may be going on a date with a banker. Dad gave Mr Banker a big cross after grilling me with questions. I would like to remind the readers that I don't blame my dad for who he is. Every parent has the right to be concerned of their children in terms of safety sake. Maybe I'm just a daddy's girl and no doubt I don't really fancy to be one.
I came up with a draft on my Dad's Mr Right checklist for his daughter:
Mr Right: Straight
Race: Chinese
Educational qualification: University and above
Jobs:Medical line, teaching, interior designers (he thinks bankers are too poor and just the job title that sounds promising only)
Must have: integrity, self respect, generous, smart, hardworking, no need to be too handsome
Potentials: Wentworth Miller, Ryan Gosling, not-so-overly extreme toots and nerds are all welcome.
Can anyone be kind enough to introduce any eligible dudes to save me from bouts of naggings and headaches? *kiddin*
***************************
I got to know a friend who is going out with this Mr Medical at the moment. What I dislike is how he actually sms her out for a date. I mean , is this for real? Or doesn't he has the guts to even make a call. Yes, we all know Mr Medical can get so uptight with his work and patients. Just a 10 seconds call is probably not worth to spend on your favourite girl uh. Hmph, Big 'L' to him.

Pack and Wrap
For the past few days, I've been clearing my junks and sort out all my stuffs in each individual boxes. I feel faint....in fact any moment from now. I hate to decide on the stuffs whether I should be chucking them away or pack it up for future use. Quite a pain on my butt , seriously mate.
Thanks to DDU for introducing me to this website called Freecycle Sydney. This is the place where the junks can be given away to online users for free. Instead of putting up on ebay, I've planned to give away my Ikea study lamp, telephone, telephone wires/adaptors, speakers ..etc.
Feeling all the stress mounted on top of my head, a bottle of chilled Stella Artois has made me a more relaxed person.
I've told my landlord that I'll be leaving soon. She was kind of upset to lose a good tenant -ya, that's me.
***************
K called me up and invited me to have lambshanks for dinner on Boxing day. I asked would I be interferring her dinneer with her hubby, her brother and gf. It's so odd to be like the largest 'light bulb' in between them. After rounds of reassurance, I agreed to go ahead with the invitation. Brought a bottle of sparking wine that leftme frigging headache the next morning. The dinner was nice and cosy.We chatted a lot on childhood sweethearts, parenting matters, jobs, and agriculture. K is an absolute fanatic about native plants. All of us went around her garden while she gave a briefing on her darling trees and flowers. It sux the thought of not having a date to accompany me. Thank goodness I had a Alaskan Mallamut who was supposedly to be my date. (kiddin' ya). That is K's doggie.
***************
I'm off to central coast of Sydney tomorrow. A was nice to take me on a trip to visit his friend there. He said we'll be having a swim at the beach or picnic. And on Saturday, I'll be taking off to North Queensland to visit Eviltooth. Wheeeeeee! Life is good to me ;)

Nowell Nowell
The only Christmas thing that I would look forward is to attend the midnight mass. St Bernedett's Church will always remain in my memory of the lonely Christmas seasons that I've spent in Sydney. No petrol stations and no mackers are opened on Christmas day.
Good for laundry day with gusty wind and plently of sunshine.
It wouldn't be too long.....

In fact the whole morning and afternoon, I've spent on packing and taping and MORE packing!! During the packing ordeal, I was confident to say that I've made the right choice on relocation. I also forsee that I just couldn't handle the pressure with moving .Maybe if I were a guy, it would have been different story altogether. Based on my calculations, I've moved at least 7 different houses in between Perth and Sydney. Geez, does anyone can understand the hassel of moving house at all?
THANK YOU.
my beloved friends
For making those overseas sms christmas greetings from Malaysia, Singapore, Perth. I feel so loooooooved!!! I've even received one sms from my long time nursing pal whom I've hardly talk to her for the last 7 years. That's certainly such a pleasant surprise ;)
Oh my hairdresser gave me a ceramic (spell?) hair straightner as a Chrissy pressie!! See, you don't have to be a celebrity to get the endorsement deals.hurhurhur.
It wouldn't be too long.....

Who's that cow
My bro has passed his exams and moving on to the 2nd year in SIM. Me, being labelled as the 'rich cow' in family, will be paying his next semester uni fees on the upcoming month.
Somehow or rather, it brought my mind to think that what would happen if I'll be the one paying for my child's university fees.
What sort of expectations that I would have on my child then? If he or she is unable to excel in his studies, will I still give him/her a chance to repeat with another cost added?
My dad brought us up in the family tradition that everyone should help one another out in regardless of anything -whether you like it or not. My dad has helped me on my education and now it's my turn on my bro's. I don't mean to put it this way but with those amount of 'kaching', I've realised I could have got myself on a house deposit.
To think on a more positive mode, at least I know I have the capability to do that.
If I ever become a spinster, I would insist that my brudder will be paying off for my retirement village unit.(u fugging hear me)
For additional info, a retirement village is like a small 2 bedroom (or even 1) self contained unit with facilities such as communal reading lounge, pool, recreation room, visiting Drs etc....
All facilities will be well taken care of and I wouldn't resist if I get a chance to perv on a cute hunky gardener. ho ho ho.

'Disheartening' Pre-xmas post
I'll be looking forward to attend the midnight mass on this coming Sunday. My boring Chrissy shall remain the same as last year's. Pretty uneventful which I would think. *sigh*
One of my fellow colleagues probably will experience the worst Xmas season when she was recently being informed that her best friends (who is a couple) are killed in an accident in Africa. Those friends of hers whom she would chose to take her timeout for travelling moments together. I've packed a little goody chrissy pack to cheer her up abit.
Back to my Xmas day, I've planned to do some packing and have a couple of beers. Tis the season to be jolly afterall.
*******
A asked me out to watch a scary movie called THE DESCENT last night. I agreed since it's Tuesday. In Oz, Tuesdays will be cheapest rate to pay for a movie.My friend called it the 'tight-arse Tuesday'. One would pay almost doubled the price on movies being watched on other days of the week. Knn, I was just freaking out throughout the whole movie. What's worst, I can't bloody sleep well at night which the horrific scenes kept on repeating on my mind. However, SAW 2 is another show which I'll never ever watch by myself again.
Tomorrow will be my last day at work in 2006. (hip- a -hip horray!)

My patient gave me some handmade soaps as a Xmas gift :)

Happy walking
As the feet department works under the same roof as the dieticians, WE started forming out very own walking group on (almost) every Monday afternoon subjecting on weather conditions.
The walking distance is roughly about 800m with steep slopes off and on. As for today, me and 3 other 'ang mohs' walked up to the local mall to have our lunch. While we were walking and chatting at the same time, they were saying how nice is it to be like me - being able to eat heaps and 'figure' remains unchanged.
I've explained that it's all due to my zero social life level. Less friends means less hang outs means less eating out means spend more time to workout.
When I was back in Singapore, my waist seems to be expanding every friggin day. By the end of 2nd week stay in Sg, my skirt is kinda tight to zip up.
My rules of engagement on keeping fit:
* EXERCISE - whether you like it or not
* DIET - eat good meals with proportions. Don't get understarved or over-starved on a meal.
* WATER - is still the best drink on earth( but I like Coke Zero more.)
* SLEEP - helps in rejuvation and maintain its mental well-being. Geez, I'll get cranky if I don't have enough hours of sleep. That's probably why I hardly burn midnight oil throughout my uni days.
* Occasional indulgence - It's OK once in a while but it's certainly not a sin. I've got this girlfriend who once ordered a bowl of fish ball noodles requesting only half a portion.She felt the need to compromise the calories from the choc which she ate few hours ago. Totally insane. *eyes roll up*

Getting into the Chrissy mood
Come and meet Mr Frosty!
Presents and cards to be sent all over the world. Christmas is the season for giving. Send a card to your long lost friend! At least it goes to show that you DO care and thinking of that person on this special festive occasion.
Come and meet Mr Frosty! This year, the staffs decided to have the Xmas luncheon at this beautiful natural santuary place called Eden Gardens
Judging by the number of crowds, one can tell how fantastic the place is
On the same week, I was invited by my previous workplace to another Xmas dinner.
This time round it was held at a pub called THE BLUE GUM.
ta daaaaa
I wanted to order Rosemary lamb shanks with potato gravy. The pub ran out of it. So I chose to have scorch fillet.I wondered why I ordered that since I'm not really a fan of steak.
Pressiessssss

Diggin' into weekend
Tis good is Friday. Had a X'mas dinner with the colleagues from previous foot clinic. The only difference of having an Aussie Xmas gathering means each of them has to pay for their own meals and drinks. This is a common culture for small business groups. Unless if one works in a big multi firms, THEN the company may pay for your party. Anyhow, I was quite bored over there really. It's like having a meal with a bunch of people who are much older than my parents.
*******************************
Bonous entry:
I'm not sure what's the best way to put it. I feel that I may or may be in near future facing communication breakdowns once I get back to Sg for good.
People aren't tune into saying nice things unless it's for a reason. Don't know how to explain it. I'm sorta stuck right now. Basically, when the local folks say something especially when they are in a angry phase, they cannot calm down and say in proper, nice sentences without offending the opposite party.
For instance,
Angry peep:" I was shocked that why my pay has got deducted for no reason?"
Instead, why not try saying like " Can you please help me check on my pay which has been paid lesser than the usual?"
On the contrary, I think there are a lot of angry people in Singapore. To be more specific, a large population of angry people that I've encountered with has an underlying psychiatric disease.
Pardon me if I'm wrong to say that.

Humanpapillo drama
I think I may have a wart on my left heel.Lateral compression of the wart produces pain. Obviously it's a WART lor.
The defined pin- prick size with one black pinpoint in the centre is how I would describe it. I debrided it till it bleed.Added a stick of silver nitrate and now it has become a black 10cent size spot on it. Knn. I hate warts to the max. Sian halved. I'm going to further debride it this coming Fri.

on my way to work on a winter morning
Still not quite summer
Sydney's weather has been acting kinda strange. Well, we are well into the summer but the temperature is still hitting below 30 deg celsius. I'm getting frustrated to think what should I be wearing for the day. I hate wearing too little if the cold front is up. I hate over- layering if the weather gets too hot by midday. Last night, it got so cold in the middle of the night that I was so tempted to pull out my doona.
**************
I've started wrapping up the Xmas presents! ;)

Flowers
My auntie's shop in Eastpoint
My auntie's shop in Eastpoint
My beloved cousin who cannot even recognised me when I was there.So lousy ;p.Mom's in the background.
*******************************************
Speaking about flowers, I've never received any of it from any dudes (include my ex-bf) or in my whole entire life. Ex-bf thought it's such a waste of money. To him (boring!), maybe. To me, it's another story. Sometimes a bunch of flowers can simply brighten up someone's day. May it be a stalk or a bunch. Whatever it is, the giver just wants to see the smile on that someone's face upon receiving it. Such guy who cannot understand this theory should be booted out of the (my, at least) relationship.
Yeeehaa!kick kick kick!
