mumbo jumbo + nydc !

its name says it all. no wonder we're such regular customers..

you know, before the dishes are being served, we're given peanuts to snack on. and people who starve themselves to enjoy every bit of their dinner, like me, munch on tasty peanuts! hey, we pay for it anyway!

but for me, i like to have them dipped in chilli sauce, especially the sourish spicy kind.. YUMMM! hahaha! at first, the girls didn't realise i was doing it, but then when they finally caught me doing it, they tried too. GUESS WHAT? they love it toooo! :D:D:D you should try it too, if you take the spiciness.

the peanuts and the chilli sauce!!

chungie got caught in the act, dipping the peanut into the chilli sauce!!! HAHA!

why are we concentrating on PEANUTS in jumbo!?! man.. into the main dishessssss!!

麦片虾！

i still prefer this dish de-shelled.. hahaha. i dunno.. it's yummier!

soon hock fish in soy sauce... very, very tender and smooth and yummy... mmm..

scallop with yam. YUMMINESSSSSSSSSSSS! we got 50% off this dish too, thanks to the coupon i got from jumbo calendar for the month of june! yay! hahaha.

ordering.

chungie, mel and myself. (: yes, i'm still wearing my glasses...

erm.......


and finally, the main dish we've all (except mel cos' her tongue's sensitive to spiciness) been waiting for.....



CHILLI CRAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oooooooooooooohhhhh.... yeahhhhhhh.

we're all so excited!!!!! even mel got influenced!

from the other side of the table - steph and qi!!!

dinner with dad yesterday was at crystal jade palace. man. i must tell all of you that crystal jade has 3 branches on 4th floor of ngee ann city ITSELF. u MUST confirm which branch you called - whether it was 拉面，korean cuisine or palace. 拉面 doesn't take reservations though.

it was SUPER busy. we booked for a table at 730pm and because they got the spelling of my surname wrong (theung, instead of Cheung.. man.... *smacks forehead*), they gave me ideas that i called the wrong branch, and so i was made to walk around the whole of 4th floor looking for the other 2 branches and asking if i accidentally made a reservation there.

of course they found out their mistake about my surname, but we still had to wait for 15 more minutes before we FINALLY got our table. yes, they were EXTREMELY EXTREMELY busy.

i was long awaiting to have some roast duck, but because we finally ordered at 815ish, they were all sold out......... ):

overall, i thought the food wasn't the best.. i was hoping to taste better goods, but... was kinda diasppointed. oh well! shall just stick to 拉面 in future! hehe.

went to have late dessert at nydc with dad and jon after that!

shit, i look like a mum with my glasses. yuck.

with dad. do i look abit like him? everyone says so.

very sleepy jon. it was 11+ then.

HAHAHAHA. flash phobia.

my tiramisu mud pie. it was something like an ice cream cake. not too bad. but by the time i was done with half of it, the ice cream was melting like one kind. but the kahlua biscuit underneath was liquor-ish enough! very yum!

jon had double trouble inside out or SOMETHING LIKE THAT.. hahaha.

cos jon dropped a few teet very recently, he was complaining that the chocolate chips were too HUGE and too hard... == that's a first time for me, really..

see how he picked all of them out!

tsktsk.

3 more days here. and about 2 more days for me to do my research. GOSH..............

silly grandma ^^

at about 4+am this morning:

ah ma: (shaking me up) minah.. minah, yanning no come back..
me: huh...?
ah ma: yanning no come back lah..

(after realising it was my ah ma)
me: (in Hokkien) orh, ah ma, wa si yanning lah!!! (orh, ah ma, i'm yanning lah!)

hahaha. my silly grandma.

because i was expecting a call this morning at 5am, i slept in my mum's room so i wouldn't wake my grandma up from her sleep. but being sucha light sleeper, my ahma was aware that i wasn't on the bed next to hers.. so unknowingly, she came to my mum's room, assuming i was the home helper (whose name is NOT minah. she calls all home helpers minah) without switching the lights on, and was asking for me. by the way, the home helper sleeps in ANOTHER room. so funnnnnny!!!!

^^

no matter how confused my ahma can get, i'm happy cos my ahma cares for me!

7 more days and i won't see her for another few months.. ):

steamboat @ my place!

Wanna thank Lyn for preparing the steamboat for us while we were still SOOO busy playing ticket to ride! haha. we're such fans now, i tell you.

the girls were particularly MAD over Lyn's oven baked chicken-yummy-wings! They even asked her to share the secret recipeeee. (: pictorials!

jon left for school halfway thru the dinner.. awww.. we'll miss ya jon!! cya this fri!

i look like crap lah.

we were soooo full but there was soo much food left, so chungie suggested the 0-25 finger game to clear all the food on the table. trust me, it worked. we had to stuff our faces with more fooood! i was so full i really could hurl then.

And we even webcammed Thazin cos' poor her is in Malaysia studying for her finals! The connection was SOOOOOOO crappy take a look at this:

LOLLLLLL. what's with that yellow band it's SO WEIRD lah!! and her expression.. and her primary school glasses ooooooh mannn.. so cute lah!!!

i think thazin's gonna kill me when she sees me, but hopefully the next time i see her (which is most prob next year), she'll forget about this picture and stop haunting me.. HAHA!!

Despite my sore left eye, I still met up with my cousins for dinner at Imperial Treasure @ Marina Square (I wonder if it's PART of the Crystal Jade corporation, or just a new restaurant with the same concept. hmms.) for some 拉面 and 小笼包!!

After dinner we needed some exercise, so off we chiong into Mango, Zara, Topshop, Miss Selfridge, Charles and Keith, DMK - oh how we loveeee GSS (Great Singapore Sale!)!!

Jon joined us later for Swensen's and more shopping! Hahaha. STICKY CHEWY CHOCOLATEEEEEEEE~! Our childhood all time favourite!! Yumyumyum!!

Yay!

my sore eye..

i never imagined how awesome my camera was, until i took this photo of my eye. 0.0

woke up with loads of eye crap in both eyes (sogross sogross sogross), something that i've never experienced before in my life!!! so gross so gross, the bits were dry and it was on my lashes, around my eye, everywhere!!! after washing off the disgusting bits, i found out that my left eye lid was swollen, and my eye was red, as you can see from the top picture. see, even my top eye lashes don't curl up anymore.. and my double eyelids are GONE!!

i suspect it's due to my contact lenses. couldn't remember when i was supposed to change to another pair, and so, i concluded it must be due to absent-minded me and my expired contact lenses. hopefully my eye gets better soon, otherwise i'm gonna visit the gp tomorrow!

get well soon!!!

what have i been up to?

Cut/layered my hair! (it only looks great after the hairdresser blew my hair. after that it really isn't awesome). And I shaped my eyebrows! (:(:(:(:

A comforting word of advice

lyds : from now on.... says:

lyds : from now on.... says:
those american soldiers who go to east timor and to iraq and afganistan

lyds : from now on.... says:
and those war countries....

lyds : from now on.... says:
they are apart for months

lyds : from now on.... says:
when u are with each other.. u develop together and grow together and understand each other

lyds : from now on.... says:
then when u are apart for various reasons.. u grow with urself

lyds : from now on.... says:
u grow in urself and this will strengthen ur personality and benefit the relationship.. its something very general not just u and james


Man, Lyds is totally a teacher, and a counsellor. I felt wayyy better after seeing what she told me.

My lesson of the day - Learn to be a strong girl! Learn, grow and develop for the benefit of the relationship. (:


ONE MORE ORAL EXAMINATION TO GO AND I'M SWEET TO FLY BACK TO SINGAPORE!!

of course i'll miss everyone else back here in dunners and the whole of NZ..

p.s. did i mention that i survived the scary OSLER examination with my home tutor? i passed man. it was really scary though. he told me i could do better, and i know that.. the case was verY veRY vERY VERY complicated and i was restricted by the time limit i couldn't probe for more info from the patient. but oh well, I PASSED! :D

It's so hard..

I tell myself it's just a temporary goodbye, but it's not helping me..


Chagi ya.. )':

I'm up and jumping~!

YAYYYYYYYYY~!

I passed my OSLER this morning.. (: It was with another consultant, and it was a pretty easy case, so it wasn't a surprise that I passed.. Haha. Anyhow, I'm happy already. The other OSLER with my home tutor's on Tuesday. I saw him this afternoon and he told me that he would give me a COMPLICATED case. My partner who took my turn yesterday got a very unexpected case and didn't do well eventually. ): I guess I have to work hard this weekend then! Of course after my date with Lyds tomorrow night for 27 dresses and pizza. Woohoo! :D Can't wait.

Lydsy~!

Ate with Jen this afternoon @ Seoul and my, haven't seen her in AGES! We were chatting non-stop (REALLY non stop I tell you! Even eating with our mouths full HAHA), from Fix cafe to Seoul restaurant (they're next door to each other HAHAHAHA). Jen, I truly enjoyed that 1hr 15 min with you. (: And I'm so happy for ya~! *winks winks* ROFL. Must ask me out soon ah!!

Miss my MICN301 ladiessss~~~ ):

Just came back from on call tonight, and decided not to attempt clerking the 2nd patient for the night, especially after trying that for those few on call nights. Cos' by the time I clerked the 2nd patient, my eyes were == and my tone was ..... I don't think I wanna try that again! Hehe.

James is out tonight - studying for his test tomorrow, and having an end of semester 'party' at his friend's place. Yes. AT THE SAME TIME. Funny, ay? Chagiyaaa~~ 快回来哦！ Come back to town. Pine Hill's not as fun as town. Hahaha.


Byeeee~!

Roll on floor.. In pain.

The time of the month arrived, and the cramp was EXCRUCIATING. Jess, tell the people about the pain!

Site - Umbilical area
Onset - In the morning, during ward round
Character - CRAMPY. Always there. Getting worse
Radiation - Was focal at first, but became very generalised to the whole abdomen
Associated features - panicking cos' I was supposed to have an exam the same afternoon
Time course - Just there for long time.
Exacerbation/Relief: No exacerbations, relief from Naproxen Sodium 125mg.
Severity - 10/10. I'm so sorry I'm just can't tolerate pain. I got zero tolerance.

So my colleague did the exam instead of me, but the one tmr is still on.. Thank God I'm feeling so much better now with the miracle pill NAPROXEN~!~!~! Girls should try it man, for menstrual cramps. Works miracles.

Cooking time. Toodles.

Happy Birthday Janice // Don't like this.

Happy birthday, Janice sistelllllll. You're 20 finally! Seriously, like, FINALLY. When was the last time someone said you look YOUNGER than 20??? Like.. When you were 15? LOL. Anyway! Welcome to the twenties club! It's not like it's a huge change in your life lah, but the age is creeping up on ya and soon you'll be 50. HHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Okay I'm so mean. I'm older than you anyway so just laugh at me. ==

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAH. HOPE YOU FIND YOUR PRINCE CHARMING SOON. MUST BE SOMEONE WHO CAN TOLERATE YOU AND ME K? lollllll. GOD BLESS YA SISTEL! ^^

-------------------------------------------------

CHANGE OF MOOD. SERIOUSLY DAMN MOOD SWING LAH.


Deafening silence. It's damn freaky.

I guess this might be the first time I'm home alone, with no music on, no drunkards singing as they walk past, no James to nag at me saying I'm a nerd. No drama from Janice's room. Only the lap top's fan making the most irritating sound.

I don't like this.

It's my Summative OSLER tomorrow. It's like having a consultant sitting next to you as you take a history from the patient and do examinations on them. I've had my practice one last week. It went okay, except for the presentation part. But now I'm freaking out all over again. And another surprise OSLER with another consultant the next day. Wasn't really a surprise, just a bit too early to what I would imagine.

I guess it's stress + being alone at home. James' gone to his friend's place to relax cos' he hasn't got any exams... I feel terrible nowww. I can't describe this feeling.

To my dear friend.

Yes girl, you'll get through this.

You're the bravest and sweetest girl I know, and I'm very sure that you've got that faith and it will not bring you down.

I'm here for you, and you know that! Be it breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffee, supper or just plain greediness (hehe), swimming (nono, no gym..), or karaoke-ing, I'll gladly do it with ya.

Will keep you in my prayers, my dear friend. Don't give uppp! You won't lose to it this time. (:

CHEER UP!
