Public speaking
I think I've developed a new phobia called 'publicphobicspeaking"
I realised that I'm not able to gather my thoughts well enough and formed into nice flowing sentences. As much as I enjoyed talking to my clients, I never like the idea of speaking in front of whole audience.
*sigh* I didn't really screw up. In fact, I was thrown with more questions than any other speakers!
Glad this is all over now.

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

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

What's the news
I've not been blogging as much as I would like. Unlike all those times in Aust, my updates were fairly done on a regular basis.
For the past few months, I've had a couple of visitors from Perth and Lausanne (Switzerland).
On the other hand, I'm training for my very first triathlon coming up in Nov. Weekends are mostly spend on biking, swimming or running. My last race with New Balance was kinda challenging coz it's more of a trail run. That involved running on different terrains such as the beach, mud and road.
I'm quite satisfied with my results for being the top 7o out of nearly 800 participants. Woohoo!!
Most of my colleagues felt that my future Mr Right doesn't mean he needs to wear checkered (ooo my favourite dressing for guys ;p) shirt . He needs to know how to race with me too!
I'm procratinating on doing up my slides for the presentation *whine whine whine*.
Instead of having 2 speakers before me, I have to wait for 3 speakers to get done before my turn to present the talk. I hope the target audience won't be suffering too much with their heavy eyelids ;p
**********
Wanna complain!!
Why there are some motorists think that riding on park connectors is prefectly ok? Maybe the LTA can encourage the public to send in pics of those illegal motor riders and so a fine could be issued to their homes. Obviously these motorists haven't got a slightest clue that they can put the public in grave danger.
There seems to be an increased number of drivers who have forgotten to on their headlights while driving at night. Very very bad!
***********
Maternal instinct? Tick tock?
One of my regular clients will come in monthly for her health check. This grandson of hers is an absolute darling. Never failed to give me a 'squeaky 'kiss on my cheek towards the end of consult. I feel soooo soo loved!!! Then again, he's such a hyperactive child which I don't think I can handle it for too long. Hurhur!

Showers of gifts
The company has a policy whereby if any staff receives any gifts or special items, they would need to put up a declaration form and submit to their respective bosses. Upon CEO's approval, you may only accept the item with a small token out of your own pocket.
The most 'exotic' item I've ever received was a furry lion pencil case. My client is such a darling. He thought since he hasn't got any grandchildren, my 'son' will be able to make full use of the pencil case when he goes to school.
Mr J is my regular client. To be honest, I hope he doesn't find me too long winded each time when he comes into the practice. ;p Even though he was under some medical social assistance, I was quite taken by surprise that he brought 2 boxes of noodles for me (and my assistant).
Another one sat on a wheelchair giving out the mooncakes to me from her hands.
Feeling so blessed ! xx

You look so young!
I like the fact that most of my clients think I look more like at the age of 25.
There's another said that if I were to be walking down the road, he thought I would be working in some cosmetic department. hohoho.
*****************
Cocktail shaker: I wanna purchase that!
When I was at the uni, I took up a bar course from a recreation club in University of Western Australia. There was a time that I wish I had the time to work as a barmaid at a pub or something. So that my skills won't be washed down the drain.
Or rather, I don't really mind being a 'coyote ugly' too ;p

Housemaid horror
I was at Parkway earlier since there was an Isetan sale going. The place was thronged with uncles, prams, childrens and more aunties than ever. Buay ta han. Those middle aged ladies are the worst lot of shoppers. They scrambled for the correct size on the clothings or chucked the unwanted stuffs right in front of the pile that you're looking at.
When I was at Watson's looking at some shower gels, I overheard *again* this middle aged ladies (50s and above that's somewhat I considered middle aged, ho ho ho ) was scolding her maid in front of the cosmetic department. How embrassing is that! I can see the maid was looking rather upset with face looking down. Why can't that auntie bring her to one side and talk to her instead? She is not A kid. Afterall, even if she could have really done something wrong but there could be better way of solving the issue besides raising her voice in front of the crowd?
That's the thing about living in Singapore. You don't have (huma) rights. People can go all the way and discriminate your looks, your culture, your race and everything. So if someone says your mole is ugly in front of you, then that's just too bad. Live with it or do something about it (eg, mole curettage??)
Recently, one of my girlfriends decided to ask her maid to pack her bag and leave for good. The reason was that she has been using phone to call back to her own country during wee hours in the morning. Rather than getting pissed over it, my gf would rather send her away for good. Afterall, baby's safety is her first priority in regardless of what happened.

Back from reality
I had a wonderful vocation in Down under. It was great catching up with some friends. It was also my pleasure to meet Magic ( Rach's darling) and 3 of us had a nice cold chilly morning walk together. I must admit I've been pretty slow on my blog. Not much of interesting stuffs to write anyway.
Is this a calling?
*After the consult*
Patient X: " God bless you dear"
*During the consult*
Patient Y:" Why you never go to my son's church? you only been once? that's not enough. Must go there n meet all the young people.?"
-_-
Mr Buaya
He's back! Mr B asked me out for dinner again. Friends have said that if I'm not interested in him , I shouldn't have gone out with him at all.
It's just a dinner. That's how I looked at it.

Get set, ready and GO!
One of my clients was quite funny. He actually put on his timer and see how long his consult was with this practitioner.
Time taken for the consult was 1.5mins
Waiting time to be seen: 2 hours
He went like this:" WAH liew eh, my condition can be viewed in such a short timing lor."

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

Inflation nightmare?
With the uprising inflation costs, it is no surprise that most citizens certainly feel the pinch on their pockets. Sadly, I would say the most affected group of people belongs to the low income families.
And Kirsten ,who will be getting married in a few years time, has paid a downpayment on a HDB flat together with her partner. In fact,she was pretty conscious on how she spent her money since both have made plans on the wedding.
Trust me, every cent do count for this lady.
For instance, there was once she refused to get her sandwich toasted at Subway as she thought it may cost her extra 20cents to do so.
From my experience, I've been to a cafe where they charge 50cents for a glass of water. Nope, it's not from bottled water . Hidden costs can be just everywhere. Another of my gf, Judy was rather funny. She said that the only place she has asked for 'extras' without being charged is Burger King! Apparently, if you ask for a 'stack 'of lettuce on your burger, they don't cost you extra.
Then again, I'm not really sure how true with such statement can be.

Dealing with difficult parents
My girlfriend ( bish! -you know who you are) thinks that asian parents are the worst kind which you ever can have. Perhaps, it's the culture or family values which has been passed down from generations to the modern living world that doesn't seem to be so applicable anymore.
I'm not here to 'disgrace' my parents. In fact, I've learnt to take note of dos and don'ts or mistakes which my parents have made along the way. And hopefully, I don't see myself repeating the stuffs on my children in near future.
Ever since I've moved back home, I find my parents tend to get a lot more agitated over small stuffs. Both of them seems to be less controlled with their temper and more demanding. I do worry for their health. Then again, who I am to be their health 'controller'. The funny thing is they will prefer take on the advice from a 3rd party than listening to me on what I have to say.
I was really annoyed when someone told my dad to eat some natural herbs so he can have regular bowels. Not surprisingly, he took on the advice faithfully without missing a single dose.
My coping strategy is to either walk away or totally ignore them if they start to get loud on me. Sometimes, I do reflect on why they are saying such things or they don't realise that their brains have snapped....
I guess I can never understand till I become a parent myself.

Little Miss Runner
For the past weekends, life hasn't been quite the same.Taking part in different racing events had took up most of my time. My colleagues have been bugging me to take them along for training On the contrary, they were put off by the fact that since I'm such a 'fast' runner ( at least to them , I am a fast runner), I'll not have much patience to guide them along. Whatever hokay. Is there anything wrong with running alone? Some of my mates seriously think there is a problem with me.
By the way, I'll be taking up chinese calligraphy soon. Hope the slow movement of the chinese strokes will help to build up the level of patience in me. *heh heh* Come on, I don't wanna stick to the rule that I only know toes and legs throughout my whole life. How boring is that.
Back to running, I would like to acheive better for my half marathon by the end of this year.
My current (shitty) timing for 21 KM is 2hr 50mins.
I did a 10km cross country run at 62mins and another run by Pearl Izumni 12.4km at 1hr 11mins.
My next target timing for the 21km: 2hr 30mins or under
***************************
I told my brother that I want him to get me a HDB flat so I can live throughout my spinisterhood.
At least he is getting through the uni with my hard earned bling bling. *sob*

Who's getting hook up
My long time gf, J, finally got herself a boyfriend whom she got to know in a dancing class. No doubt the guy was in his late 20s, she doesn't mind his early signs of receding hairline. More importantly, she was overwhelmed by the fact that he was a Christian. That was like scoring 100 brownie points on her eligibility checklist on a dude.
Back in Perth, A is happily attached to his Mr Mechanic. I guess that probably explains why is less frequent online.
JL found her happiness via Facebook- everything went so perfect that to the last day of her trip (where she met him), they decided to get hook up.
Chawang , the elephant from the Zoo, has got himself a 'playmate' now.
I need a 'playmate' too!
The fact is that I've seen more eligible ladies more than men. The problems with the Mr Eilgibles are not really quite eligible are because:
1) They got rotten teeth
2) Has bad vices : smoking, excessive drinking
3) High ego level
4) Receding hairline ( yes looks does matter, a wig is advisable on the first date. Maybe with subsequent dates, you can slowly reveal the truth. Cross your fingers that she would be able to accept the way you are. First impression do counts. Come on!)
5) Unsure what to look out for on the potential partner
I can't stand people who are unsure about their options on choosing partners.
If you like this particular fish with purple scales then stick with it. Don't go round and round hunting for the best and brightly coloured fish. There will always be better ones around but that doesn't mean you have to spend your whole life or making exceptional compromise to settle for one for the sake.
Good night, world.

I have nothing
Nothing much happened recently. So I wasn't up for blogging. Of recent, I came across an article from an online newspaper urging the public not to blog about your boss or other work related stuffs. Now as I'm typing my words down, I feel as though someone is trying to 'spy' on my blog.
I'm spending a lot more time doing a lot of outdoor activities and continuing my volunteer job with a local organisation. At least, it's more refreshing hanging out with the special athletes than the folks at work (zzzzzz).
Any cure for men suffering from midlife crisis? I think my dad has got one. DDU said for women suffering from menopause, best is to get them to drink soy milk.
My dad could be a really nice person and the next minute, he seems to snap his mind out of sudden.
*************
Out of curiousity, why would the local drivers be winding down the windows while driving? I mean don't they feel the fumes can block their nose or irritate their eyes at all?
How much petrol can a driver save from not turning on the air condition har? Maybe the best person I should be asking is Annabanana.
Where the bloody hell are you, A? ;p

Ugly Fugly Singaporeans
I have witnessed this scene far too many times while travelling in a MRT train. Let me get direct to the point. Singaporeans' butts are far too heavy to be lifted off the seats in order to offer to those elderly folks or pregnant ladies. I get totally annoyed when someone (especially the young and ignorant people out there -shame on you!) just simply refusing to give up his/her seats to someone else who needed more. Is it because it's too 'paiseh' (shy) thing for being considerate? There was once I was on the verge of asking a young man to stand up so this poor preggy lady could take a seat. It was quite obvious that she was struggling abit to gain the balance while the train is on the move. Oh well...
Most Singaporeans do get on with good education but that doesn't mean they are good with their courtesy mannerism. In fact, I do failed on Singaporeans very badly for lack of graciousness. While they do care more for themselves other than sparing a thought for others. For instance, this middle lady was talking on the phone while her body was blocking the tapping machine. If she's not getting off, then she should move her ass to the back of the bus la. What's more, the 'gan cheong spider' uncle even tried to stretch his arms for miles in order to get his card tapped before arriving the destination.
People don't queue for the buses. Somehow, I would think Singaporeans could be jolly doing well in rugby games since most of the communters that I saw enjoy pushing and digging their way through relentlessly.

Beehoon goreng
2 packs of fried mee were cooked and brought over to the clinic by a regular client of mine. It was nice to have someone who appreciates our hard work. It does make me feel like a 'million dollar' baby with such kind gestures.
Well, with the beehoon goreng on hand, it saved me the time and effort qeueing up at the cafeteria. hurhur!
***********
This uncle made a comment which I find it to be quite amusing.
He said:" uh miss, if you walk down the streets like now, I would have thought you are someone who sells beauty products."
Me:*giggles* ( wonders of Sk2 products?)

Diana Krall
A famous jazz singer with an amazing voice is coming to town this Sept. No one is keen to watch it with meeee! Bugger it.
Tickets are abit on the pricey side tho. I guess this is 'what you pay for what you get'.

Ah boy will always be Ah boy
This teenage boy who came in with his mom doesn't even rattle a single word to me about his ankle pain. All the answering was done by his mom only. Despite with the mom's encouragement, the boy still refused to say ANYTHING about his condition. He doesn't appear to be stupid or something.
Each time when I asked him a question, he would just stare at his mom and hoping she came up with an answer ...fast! With my eyes rolling up, I was just thinking I hope he doesn't take his mom along for his national service too.
Don't think the Captain will be too happy about that ;p

He said he will cook a nice plate of mee goreng for me on his next visit.
*so touched*

Run on Monday
Since I was volunteering with the 'special' organisation, I was assigned to run with this Down Syndrome's kid on the track. I was impressed that he was able to complete 2km walk-a-jog before coming to a complete stop. Quite an acheivement for a non- runner like him.
Today I had the first run using the Nike sports band. How it works is by applying the chip onto the Nike plus shoe with the waistband applied that can detect the pace, mile, calories burnt..etc.
Me love gadgets!
This teenage boy who came in with his mom doesn't even rattle a single word to me about his ankle pain. All the answering was done by his mom only. Despite with the mom's encouragement, the boy still refused to say ANYTHING about his condition. He doesn't appear to be stupid or something.
Each time when I asked him a question, he would just stare at his mom and hoping she came up with an answer ...fast! With my eyes rolling up, I was just thinking I hope he doesn't take his mom along for his national service too.
Don't think the Captain will be too happy about that ;p

Dad
The best household chore which my dad ever does de best is throwing away the rubbish bags promptly.
********************
Toyboy
Mr Toyboy, who is almost like a 'soulmate' to me, has been trying to get me to participate for a triathlon event. If only he is much older, I wouldn't mind considering him.Ho ho ho. Don't tell me age is not a barrier. At this present moment, it is sure an issue. I can't be the 'prefect' sugar mom anyway. Mr TB took good care of me when we cycled on the roads. Very considerate fella who possesed certain level of maturity despite being a youngthing.
*******************
Buaya
Mr Buaya has returned! We haven't been talking since the chinese new year until recently he met me over a small meeting. Don't know what has got into him, he started to text me asking how my life has been. The most surprising thing is he even asked me out for dinner on the weekend. I'm quite taken aback because his weekends have always been so precious to be spent on work, work and more research. Whatever it is, my gf thought I shouldn't be going out with him since I was never keen in de first place.
It's just a DINNER outing. Honestly, there isn't any harm going for it.
Mr B doesn't seem to communicate a lot with his family. Perhaps he does have an issue with his family dynamics. And he prefers to have a CRT tv.
Based on my observations, he doesn't realise what 'happiness and love' is all about. What's the point of making so much money and not able to enjoy it?
***********
Mr Eye
Mr Eye just broke up with his gf recently. Maybe there are guys out there like him who can't simply get over with the breakups easily.
Poor fella.
He was boo boo-ing at home and calling gfs (like us) for some consolations plus support. =_=

Mail from Taiwan Auntie
Taiwan auntie wanted to introduce this very eligible Mr Engineer to me. She even did his family background, financial status and his characters checked. Saying he is probably one of the most ideal dudes she ever come across plus armed with a MBA degree. Aiyer, but I don't really want to get myself in a long distance relationship. No moving to Taiwan business for me. Hmph!
Then again, I'm not saying I'm rejecting the idea of knowing Mr Engineer. No harm to add on another friend in my circle.
We shall see.
******************
Dualthlon
Woke up 5am in the morning. Had 1 marmite spread on bread, 1 large banana, 1 energy bar, 1 cup of milo for breakfast. At around 6+, woke dad up so he could take me to Mandai for my very first Dualthlon event. On the first leg of run, I was running quite miserably due to a stitch on my right abdomen region. Definitely puts me off abit. Once I arrived at the transition area, I mounted onto the bike and started cycling for 15km. Got off the bike and started running for another 3km which I almost couldn't finished it. And again, the stitch returned at the same region. Knn.......
Total time of completion: 1hr 36mins
Could be better next time.
Someone suggested I should get a ironman bf to train me up ;p
********************
Mr P asked me out for lunch but it didn't happened. No doubt it has been planned a week ago, he acutally had forgotten it. Saying he needed to take care of baby niece since there wasn't any family members at home too. Hence, the lunch has to be put on a rain check. At the same time, he asked me if I'm free on the following week. I told him to let me know again.
Can't stand people who doesn't keep up with their words.
Lousy.
