A New Age

The wheel of time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend... (the wheel of time by Robert Jordan). A new phase of my life will begin when I open my eyes tomorrow morning. Sighz... working life is starting, and after 25 years of being looked after, I'll finally be a working adult. Yucks... that sounds really old though most of my friends my age have already been working for some time.

Currently feeling excited, yet scared and depressed, with each emotion taking turns to surface, one at a time. No more waking up late, even on weekends... no more afternoon tea at home on weekdays... no more mugging (hopefully) or anything that resembles that when I get home in the evenings. I just pray that my social life will not be affected too much, and that I'll still have time for my family, my gf and my friends. And that I'll still have the time to just sit and stare out of my window, with no worries or regrets. Everything seems to boil down to Time.

Time. Pray that I have lots of it.

Heal the World

Was wif my gf getting stuff from Giant at Parkway Parade today. Wanted to get a trolley but both of us didnt have a dollar coin. Incidentaly, an Indian couple was returning their trolley and my gf asked whether we could change our coins wif their dollar coin. The lady gave us the dollar, and as I was fumbling thru my wallet trying to get the change, she said "just take it".

Both me and my gf were like "cannot cannot", and I counted out three 20 cent and four 10 cent coins, and handed it over to her.

Just wanted to thank the couple... for being nice. Such incidents really do make the world a better place.

Finally

Blogspot finally allowed me to upload these overdue photos...


The completed pic without frame.






Stupid looking me.

Orientation

Ok... I'm not supposed to blog about work. Think this line was added into the do's and dont's slide in recent years when blogging became a "problem" heh...

Anyway, I'm currently paired up with Jamie and an out-of-phase HO doing GS. Work starts on Friday and I'm currently excited yet frightened at the same time. Hope everything will be all right at the end of this working year, be it "I won't see the sun" or "no social life for XXX months"... O well, I will survive.

Hmm... and the photos of my pretty jigsaw still doesn't load, dammit.

Lousy la...

Ok tried uploading the snoopy pics... but blogspot refused to let me, again.

Anyway, my room air-con was spraying water again... sighz... it happens approximately once every month. The air-con mechanic better get it fixed once and for all this time round. If he doesn't, I will feed him to my hamsters.

When 'life' is ending...

Almost done with my snoopy puzzle, been to Phuket and got sun-burnt, watched a few episodes of prison break,  owned Australia in Risk, celebrated my gf's birthday, currently reading The Rule of Four and Complete Notes from Singapore, had 3 mahjong sessions, and starting orientation tomorrow.

Oh... 1 more. Sadly saying goodbye to weekends.

Mission Impossible

Hope to finish this asap... this is my greatest jigsaw conquest so far with 2014 pieces!!! My record was 2000 pieces (some scenery pic which I think looks like Hokkaido). The scenery one seemed easier to do cos' it had bands of different colored flowers and all I had to do was to pick up similar colored pieces and by trial and error fit them together. This snoopy one is generally a shade of ancient brown throughout and it's getting on my nerves... sighz... and I still got Lost and Prison Break Seasons 1 & 2 and a few books to read and my game to play.

They should give us a 3 month holiday to make up for all the short holidays we had starting from year 2. Haiz... no time, no time!!!

Damn

Juz realized that imagestation where all my previous pics were uploaded into is gone for good.  Need to find a good and reliable website now...

Pics pics pics pics pics pics & a video

Apparently the babies are sort of getting milk from the mother while she is in this postition =p

FYI, the babies are blind and they occasionally wander around when they get abit older. When that happens, the mother will pick em' up and place them back in a designated spot (the nest), which changes from week to week.

Newborn.

Feeding time, which fills up most of the young one's waking time.

The centre one is the young one when it's a couple of weeks old.

Juz some remaining pics of how hamsters enjoy sitting on their fat bum while eating.

Hmm... I think that's it... actually have lots more pics but I think they are kindof repetitive. So yep, hope u enjoyed them.

ZzzZzzzzZzzzZzzZzzzzzZzzzzZ

I've been trying to upload the pics a few times now... but it just doesnt work.
Stupid blogspot.

Post-Exam

Here are the pics which are supposed to be up long long long ago...

This guy's name is ah bui btw. Heh... check out how he got himself semi-stuck behind the hippo at the end. Hmm... wait I still got lots more (including the newbies)plus some videos as well... I'll go look for em'... brb

One more night

Hopefully everything will turn out well tmr.

I'll be praying.

Tommy Page - A Shoulder To Cry On

Great song which we sang back in Dunman High Sec Sch... as a squad for one last time during our band's graduation night.

I still remember that I only know the chorus heh... I was juz mouthing all the way (minus the chorus) together with LJ. Those were the days man...

Linkin Park - Given Up

Haha... perfect lyrics for the exam

P.S. if u feel dizzy watching the video, juz close ur eyes and enjoy the lyrics heh...

'Mad' Papers

I've no idea wat's their point of making the 'mad' papers so difficult... bloody hell. Now i've surgery and ortho and O&G to worry about for these 4 days... with some communication exam in between, placed there nicely to disrupt my studying for surg.

Hopefully the wait for the communication thingy on sat will not be as bad as the one on tues. Being at the end of the class list always puts u at a disadvantage... always starting later than others and waiting for others to end their exam.

Funny that I've got no mood to study today... hope this no-moodness will go away soon...

Day 1

Medicine Essay... something which I had been dreading since a long time ago... is finally over! It was pretty difficult though... I'm just glad that it is over. I've got an anxiety disorder btw... it manifests itself as nausea, loss of appetite, and fasciculations... I hope I don't have nausea again tmr morning b4 the paper...

O well... 19 more days to life!

Sighzzz

I think i'm depressed. Life sucks. No time to load pics... but from the last hamster post till now, the mother hamster had given birth twice. 1st litter - 3 babies. 2nd litter - 6 babies! 1 of the 1st 3 was sadly eaten up though, and wat was left of it was juz fur and 4 legs.

Life sucks. Depression owns.

24 more days. The countdown begins.

Lays - Potato chips

Haha... got this from some lecture I had today regarding falls among the elderly

Somewhere over the rainbow what a wonderful world

Last Few

Saturday... watched Sweeney Todd in the morning at Vivo.  It was bloody, violent and dark... with Tim Burton's usual characters of pale face, dark eye-shadowed human beings.  8.1/10, but I think my gf didn't enjoy the show at all. =p

 

At night, I went to Toa Payoh to eat some zhi cha followed by The Bar at Regent Hotel to listen to Jeremy Monteiro (Singapore's King Of Swing) perform with some of my friends.  Sighz... Guess this will be the last few times when I can really relax and not give a damn about the exams.  Funny that it seems like I'm trying to enjoy myself more as the exams are getting closer... a form of denial I guess. O well... haven't found time to upload the pics yet... hopefully I will be able to do that soon.

The Night

Juz finished studying, wanted to continue but decided against it as I gotta wake up at 830 tmr morning. Going to catch Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street! No matter how guilty I'm going to feel after that, I strongly believe that I gotta get some of my life back!

Mbbs is one of the gayest thing anyone can come out wif, seriously.

No Life

Besides having no life, I attended the Gala Premiere to Jack Neo's Ah Long Pte Ltd held at Vivo City on 30th January. We saw a number of Mediacorp stars like Fann Wong, Mark Lee and of course Jack Neo himself, as well as others like Pan Ling Ling and her husband, ex-Victorian Felicia Chin and other young punks which I've never seen before. Just a quick note about the movie (not much spoilers ahead... =p) I thought Mark Lee's acting was excellent, much better than that of Fann Wong's portrayal of a Loan Shark chief (I'm not saying that her acting was lousy, just that Mark's take on a sissy was really funny and refreshing). The movie was filled with Jack Neo's usual style of catchy Hokkien/Mandarin songs although there were a few changes to his filming methods. Overall rating would be a 7.8 star out of 10. If you're out to have a relaxing and laugh-out-loud kindof evening, this show should be able to fit that criteria.

A little update on the hamsters. Few weeks back, we noticed that one of the hamsters was getting bullied by the others all the time. Initially we thought they were just playing around, but after noticing blood on her furry coat, we decided to seperate her from the others. Hence a new home for her. Btw, her name is "ah bui" which means fatty, cos she really is quite fat, sitting on her globules of meat all the time. After relocating her to her new home, the old cage appeared cleaner and easier to manage the next couple of weeks. We came to a conclusion that she was bullied cos she was the only one who did not pee or shit in the designated spot, thus dirtying the cage, and the other 2 furries were merely being clean and exacting rightful punishment on her.

Hmm... will upload the new hamster pics soon... need to get back to studying some really boring neonatal stuff. 5 more weeks to the exams!!! @#$!^(?@%^ =(
