Boy's hard work was truly paid off. After so many years of looking for a decent job, he found himself a career that he wholeheartedly enjoy doing. Glad that within months, he was able to achieve his dreams. Every guy would love to achieve their own car. Which guy doesn't wish to own at least one car in their life?

Though I wanted a hunchback car so badly, and initially our thought was a Honda Fit/ Jazz, he picked this in the end. Payment made. And we are waiting for the arrival of his car.

Well, car is a necessity for both of us. Struggling so many years with public transport was a sore. We are sick of waiting for a public bus for 25mins and that 25mins can allow more things to be done. We were sick of standing in the bus or train, squeezing and to prevent tt from happening, we wasted our time waiting for the next available bus. Now this vehicle will definitely give both of us more personal spaces (especially when both of us are living 42km apart). I believe a cheap car to start up with will be good. We will both aim to work harder to achieve our dream car together.

Say hello to Toyota Altis in 2 more weeks or so.. :)

PS: this will be the exact car we will be seeing...

Someone is making me so excited talking about marriage plan...

It's the common topic for both of us. And I'm really excited. Though the proposal is not done at all, but we both know that, 'Yes, he/she is the one.' We did our first step by applying our 4-room apartment. In the mean time while waiting for the apartment to be done, the planning should all be nicely planned out. Wedding should be held next year.

I'm planning for an Aussie trip on our 5th Anniversary. (I need an early planning.) And give a ride on the hot air balloon. Need to recce for all the itinerary and all. I'm even more excited for that. Well, both of us have not sat on the plane going for long trips before and this shall be our first one.

Like what I used to dream when I was 17: Before I'm 25, I should go for a hot air balloon ride, celebrating the miles of going through 1/3 of my life, and it's a reward to myself. Therefore nothing stops me from gg Aussie this November. :)

The other dream was to be in a steady relationship with my partner for 5 years before its the right time to walk down the aisle.

These were dreams of me when I was still naive. But I have never thought that it will not succeed. I'm gonna do it this year..!!

Well, after 6 days of enjoyment, its time to switch back to study mood again. Knowing that exam is just next Friday, i really need to start studying already. No time to play anymore.

Today is the day back to school, due to no class, my hols is extended. Gonna be a good girl to stay home and study. No time to waste...

Happy Chinese New Year..!!!!

Happy dragon year...!!!

Wishing prosperity, endless happiness to my family and boy's family.

Wishing myself 学业进步,一帆风顺.

Wishing my boy 事业突飞猛进,发大财.

Hoping for a smooth, wealthy and lucky dragon year to both boy and I, the dragon adults.


发啊~!
发呀~!
:D

To the year of rabbit and welcoming my zodiac year: DRAGON.

well, it simply means its been 2 cycle of the zodiac and my age is simply revealed. ok, whatever...!!

School, for the first time, is so generous to give Geron 1 week break. coooolest shit.. I always wanted more time in a day, so that I can complete my revisions and editing of those PowerPoint slides. Somehow the work just keep coming one after another and it just feels endless. Well, I shall stop complaining. Will utilize this 7 days off to finish up all the unwanted-annoying school work.

Anyway it's our 50th month today. A tough month had past, hoping for a better month ahead. My boy gotten his first award for 'Top 10 Best Sales' in his new career in less than 3 months, which I'm seriously saluting to. I see the hardship that he is going through, and it's not easy earning big cash either. Though there's lots of stress he is facing, at least the result were paid off. I believe our common goals in life, will motivates him to work harder. Those words of thoughts were in the card.. Boy, I hope you will remember it.

Afterall 'No health, no wealth...'

Gonna be busy and leave no time to update this space.

Staying back everyday in school to rush up all the unfinished.
Preparation for the complex examination.
Have to type thousands and thousands of words for assignment.
Will be talking and talking, discussing for project and presentations.

Its about studying hard and nothing else. I'll pull through this moment of stress. I'll do it. I can make it...

Fightinnnng~~!

I want fighting with time no more. I want rushing no more. I want grade As and Bs. I am putting extra effort all I can.

Weekdays are meant to be for studies. When I say studies, it's gonna be whole day. For the whole of this week, I have awesome classmates who are willing to go fighting with me. We went fighting until school library closed every single day. We will stay back to do our work, research, tutorial, revision. Anything pertaining to what we are studying.

After a week of hard work, I realize my burden were lessen, and I felt happier seeing results. I am happier enjoying student life. I wanna continue to work hard for the rest of the coming weeks. Staying in school everyday gives me no excuse to sneak out after school for leisure. I can use the whole day for studying, and so far things are moving.

As for weekends, I'll keep all meet ups till then. If I'm free, well, I'll go back to studies again. I think this is the amt of hard work needed for the specialty. It's not easy, this course is real tough shit, but I'm not giving up...

Fightiiiiing~~!!

sometimes I hope the people around should just stop comparing. The skill of comparing is to help a person improves, but not making the other party small like an ant. Maybe this is the wicked reality in society. I have yet to understand why people compare how much money you can earn a month, a year. How many branded can you achieve or not have? And worst of all, wrecked the good relationship within beings...

I have realized that it is hard on many people to have a neutral feelings on one another, in this age of life. Everyone compares, everyone judge on others every single day. They don't compare to improves themselves, but compare to see if they are more capable, and when they are not, they felt jealous and good term relationship spoils.

What's all about these judging and comparing. The wicked beings, the evil side of beings that is hidden under everyone. In you, in me, in us.

I was disappointed. All I heard was bad news after one another. Keeping my cool, I made my brain works a lil harder for solutions. Making sure the rest of the members were calm and fine. Solutions were sought and there comes migraine.

We were given solutions and that delay the stress we are facing. But the delaying was not good at all. Like most of the time, people prefer to get things done over with. Well, I need to face it. Like what I told my members to. I know very well that after the one week break, stress level will be higher. And I guess I was somehow at my extremes today.

I wish I can have someone to hear me. I wish I can have someone who understands me. I wish that my love ones will be able to support me, like how I did when he was in my shoes. I hate stories. I hate all those. I hate pin pointing fingers back at me.
because all I need was as simple as a listening ear...

I was disappointed. I wish I could start my year with a happier one. I wish that good news could come soon. I don't think I'm demanding...

I need the strength to carry on. I need the strength.. I need the strength...!!!!

First of all, I'm feeling happy for the couple, sharon and eugene. May both of you have a smooth and blissful family ahead.. And I can't wait to hear more good news about the creation of ong-lai-tat ( baby ong). You guys work hard and 招生贵子 oh..!!

( This post will be image-less and video-less, awaiting for the videographer and photographer to give sharon the photos.)

Anyway, I've burnt my counting down to the arrival of this new year. I was not counting down with the world. I was not with my family. I was not with my Ray. I was with sharon, the bride. All I have seen was fireworks from khatib that I was able to watch a small part of it from Sharon's house.

I was awake on 31/12/2011 at 11am. Went to Sharon's place at 6pm, preparing the gate crash stuff and then waiting for other bridesmaid to reach. We started our showering and make up at 2.30am, while the bride was 3.30am. And the groom and gang came at 5.10am. And the long awaited gate crash begins...!!!

We girls are targeting on every angpows we see on the guy's pocket.. Snatch! Snatch! Snatch!!!!
We went all in. The guys were threatened and using 'rugby push' to go against us. It was super hilarious to see the guys dance and did stupid things in front of us. They have no choice. They just have to do it. ( hahahahahahahahahhahaha..)

After gate crashing, we followed the bride and groom all over s'pore. From yishun to tampines, to yishun then to yew tee and finally by 2pm, we were at Queen's hotel.. Shiyun was nice to help my sisters do a makeup before the preparation of the wedding dinner starts. All thanks to her.. because our morning makeup we did for ourselves with the sleepy mood was creepy disgusting.. Like zombie.. Gosh..

The whole event ended at 11pm while we slept in the hotel rooms. Everyone kO-ed by 1am. Dead. Like real DEAD sleeping...!!! I was super glad we brothers and sisters were very helpful. There were many last minute issues that comes in between. We all worked as a team to help solve the issues together. Helping each other to find solutions. Calming the bride and groom so that they are able to present themselves at the very best...

All the sacrifices made, was really worthwhile. For once being a bridesmaid, I felt honored, and we went all the way to help the couples. I guess everyone wants their wedding to go smooth and let it be a memorable one. I'm glad and I felt appreciated as well..

A final congrats to the new husband and wife, Eugene Ong and Sharon Ong... :)

Reluctant to, yet I need to. Have to struggle through. It's a break, yet I want to play.

I'm trying my best to control the amount of time I play and the amount of time i use to do my homework and revision. My evil side tells me 'you just have a week of break before those stress comes in again.. why study? You should play haaaard..'

Then the angel side of me says 'Well fully utilize this 1 week, finish up all tutorials, assignments, and ppt slides, then you wont feel so stress when school starts...'

I really don't know which one to go for. But right now I'm trying to rush that 1500 word assignments before the motivation cools down...


Anna,
fightinnnnnng~~!!

Boy's dad drove us to see our future house today. It's been almost 2 months since we went there to see the progression. A lot of changes this time round.. Those big trucks have finished digging those land and flattened them. And today we saw cranes in there. Many of it.

The drilling and filling in those (dunno what) to stabilize the house is in progress. His dad is a master of constructions. I need to learn those terms from him seriously.. Looking at the progress, the stated completion date of June 2016, might forward to 2014.

Which means? It's time to start planning and preparing for wedding soon.. Hmm.. We both have the same 'dream wedding'. Let's plan it that way then.

:)

 

I have no idea why the loves for Agnès B...
Maybe it's from Paris..
Maybe their designs are always simple..
Or maybe the brand starts with the letter similar to my name..
:)

This is my best birthday gift this year...

Up coming week will be a happening one. Besides booking all the free time in school for project work, I'm also counting down.

Counting down to enter a new year on my 23rd birthday... Counting down to end of next week, which comes a break week for me( away from studies... like finally...). And then comes Christmas, and then the arrival of 2012, where i'm first time being a bridesmaid.

Talking about break week, I'm not planning for any travel this time round, unlike most of my classmates. I am seriously in need of this break week to catch up those unfinished stuff that has kinda accumulated every since school start. This break week comes in just right... Will fully make use of my break do at least go for my macro shooting... I'm missing taking photographs and I really can't wait to go adventure once again...

My dear sharon is holding her wedding with lau ong on 1/1/2012. what an auspicious date. I can't wait for the gate crashing. I can imagine how the guys gonna suffer... All plannings have been listed out. Props needed. Yet to shop for them still. And fortunately, boy is one of the brother and I'm so gonna 'torture' him... I can't wait for her big day. Super excited about it...

Well, bonus is in. I'm quite surprised with the figure. Was expecting lesser. Well, since it's in, it's time for shopping. And just nice 'Abercrombie & Fitch' is open..!! can't wait to shop. My shopping list is long long long...!!!

:)

This is a really magic product. And thanks to sis, this product smoothen skin so fast, filling up my flaws. Love it, sis!! Give it a try. :)

As the stress levels get higher, I was left with no time to ventilate. I wanted December to be a better month, to round up the end of 2011. But it seemed like I don't get what I wanted. Instead, everything is falling on me. I'm yet to be able to balance up everything that occurring.

I hope my family will not blame me for neglecting them over these few weeks. Because currently everything else, besides family, went haywire. There were dispute within the group of my friends. School work is piling up one by one and there's no way for self revision at all. There is basically no time to even ventilate at all. No time for emotions. No time to waste.

I really need to cut down on my social life. My weekends are really important. For rushing up the undone during the weekdays. And soon, I'm gonna lead a no-life situation very soon.

I need motivation from my loved ones and people who truly cared for me, going through this period with me, and I'll be grateful for the understanding.

I know what to wish for this birthday...

Thanks to my dearest xiaojun, we gotten our concert tickets- 摇滚区. I can't wait to rock and jump with mayday on 25th Feb..!!!

So apparently there were some message error to Jenny's phone. And by the time I realized, the concert tickets preordering session is over!!!

I was so upsetted when xiaojun sent me that message yesterday. The closing for the preordering of mayday concert tickets was 30Nov. And I receive no message with the notice. Jenny claims she will notify us when ticket pricing is confirm. Worst of all, I text her on 28/11 enquiring her other issues but did not mention anything about the start date for preordering.

For the first time in my 12 years, I'm buying Mayday concert through sistic. Argh..!! hates..!! Very depressing.

I'll continue to pray that I can at least get the arena tickets..!!!!

I truly miss the working days with my princesses. When we will feels so great knowing we have a companion with each other at work. We will get each other to go for break time together, and chit chat.

The best memories were those that all 7 of us picked an auspicious day, marked it in the request roster, and when the roster is out, we will make sure that we have our fixed off day together, and it will be a full- attendance for our outing. I missed our melecca trip. I missed the mini outings we had, those laughter are what money can't buy.

After my disappearance from the working area, I wanted so badly to meet up every single one of us for an outing. But it seems like the attendance had never been full. I can even sense the withdrawal from some of us, and this is definitely not what I want to see.

Next year June will reveal if I'm going to the same ward where my princess are hidden. And for all I know, some of you are leaving in July next year, to study in Aussie. I want no exaggerating request, but a meet out where all 7 of us can meet up with a whole day of event. I know how strong our sisters love are.. Let's make this work out once again...

PS: Though we might not be the best colleague, we will always be the best sisters.

Had my first presentation today after 3 years. Presented on ethical issues in nursing and it's not an easy module to study. After meeting with the emergency group every week to prepare for today's presentation, I'm glad it has ended.

Have been rushing for the 1200 assignment because there's another SAQ exam coming next week. I can't wait to complete assignments after assignments, presentations after presentations, exams after exams. I just want everything to go on smoothly.

Today we went to Theresa's office to view our bio results. I'm glad that the highest score for distinction was from my group and Geron has got no failures in bio... Thanks to Dr yong and theresa. For the mock exam, I gotten a just passed without studying.

But after studying, I only receive a grade C. Well, it's always been like tt. When I study very hard, my results for bio is always C. seriously always.. I can't think of any smarter ways to learn bio. But anyways, it's over. I've pulled through. I shall focus on the specialize topics now...

I'm glad to know a group of fun loving classmates who are united. Because we have been studying, doing assignment together, staying and accompanying each other, staying as late as 12hrs in sch, just to get things done together. Not forgetting the outings and attachments.

All and all, I'm enjoying being a student once again. At least I felt better as compared to when I'm in diploma. Because having someone backstabbing you before you know it, can be horrible. You know who you are.. Your retribution is coming soon..

Well, I guess after the bio paper I sat yesterday is just the start of everything. There isn't much time for resting. There are more jobs that need to be done within a short time frame.

Finally started the essay writing for my ethics module. 1200 words required. Supposed to evaluate after my presentation but who will wait for presentation to be over before writing?

Don't wanna be reminded about another specialist module exam coming up in 3 weeks time. Well, nothing is not workable isn't it?

PS: mikey says ' People do 1.2k walkathon on tracks, we do ours in front of the destop.'

Coming through 1500 days with boy. And we just can't stop counting down. Something happy for both of us to celebrate over. Something we both are looking forward to. And tomorrow is our day.

Though exams are near, 2 presentations are lining up, with an assignments to come, and more to go, I have manage to come out with the itinerary for the big day. Praying hard the weather will not fall on us. I'll be driving him around this time round. Hoping we will have a safe journey.

Although we can't travel this time round when I deadly needs some traveling to keep myself happier and keeping him away from the stress he is facing at work, I hope by planning the places that I always wanted to go, can do the job too.

And boy, we have come to our 4th year, let's continue working hard for our future and achieve our similar goals together. Nothing stops us right? We must remain as strong ya?




P.S: I will not stop doing the things we love to do together, because I love you.. :)

Manage to find the latest full version of this music video.
Though this time round they are not involved, this song was done by them.
And I'm so gonna watch this movie...



I can't wait for their concert on 25Feb next year either. Feeling excited already.. heh..!!

And mummy turn 50 on 6/11/11. I specially love my planning for mummy this year. Having planned it all by myself this year, cause sis fall sick the day before and bro, well, he never like planning events. So, it was my one-woman-show.

Ordered Durian strudel from Ritz the day before mum's big day. And by noon on 6th, I excused myself to collect the 'cake' and then surprised her right at the door step with a lighted candle on the strudels.

Thanks to sis, who manage to sneak out to the void deck to pass me the candle and lighter. (hahahahaha...)

Well, mum and I head off to Takashimaya shopping. And mum saw the collegen pills (Zell- V) that she wanted so badly, and got excited totally. Anyway I'm gonna head down to taka to buy her that pills after school today.

After shopping, mum and I head down to Chinatown to meet my boy and then walked to Far East Sq @ Amoy St, where I booked a restaurant for her. Zhou's Kitchen @ Amoy St caters dinner buffet and felt the food was not bad the last time I went there. Unfortunately this time round, the food din taste as fantastic.

I'm glad bro followed to have this dinner together, with boy, and siwei. It's like we finally manage to have a full family photo. Mum wants me to upload the family photo to her phone, and I guess that the best birthday gift she has received so far.

PS: more photos are in FB. :)

It's my 2nd week of having weekends as my off. I mean it's been almost 3 years of not having fixed off days, especially on a weekend. Well, I think I still love weekends off. Not that I love crowds, but I think weekends are just meant for resting. Like a definite off day for most population.

So far I've been using my off day with revision and doing tutorials, mending the PowerPoint slides and checking emails more frequently. I miss those days when Loretta was the one who did most of the PowerPoint slides layout back during diploma days. Because she always makes sure its colorful or imageful. Really miss her somehow...

Alright, need to wake up few hours later for class. I better sleep now. Nights everyone.

Just 24 more days, it will be a new year for both of us. And it will be our 4th anniversary.

Many a times, we love to talk about how we get to know each other. From our first day, till 10days later, we become a couple. Both of us didn't believe in 'love-at-first-sight' until we met each other. After the cake-smashing incident, after I pour the cup of water down his head during the day when we first met.

He's the craziest stranger that I've ever met, to do such things on me, I recalled. Well, none of us have thought we will come so far. With a longest relationship record of 4 months, I thought this will be another 4 months "scheduled" relationship. Surprisingly, we come through 3 years, and 24 days later, our 4th.

4 years might not be long to many, and it's not about the quantity. We have been through our toughest time, but we felt happier overcoming those obstacles. Whose relationship comes in the easy way? Every couple has their own problems. I believe it's how you manage it to sustain in it.

I can't wait to go through our anniversary. Because every anniversary has it's story. What kind of story will we have this year?

:)

It's day two of advance dip and I can start to feel the tension headaches that's slowly occurring in me. Am I stress already?

Dr Yong pushed forward his tutorial, from Friday to this afternoon. Due to the last min news, everyone was not prepared for his lesson. And first tutorial was the refresh of pathophysiology. It's YEAR 1 work.. 3 years old information is definitely not in my tiny brain anymore.

He started going through cells and tissue, epithelial cells la, osmosis la. And I remember clearly how hardworking we were mugging hard for bio, when those hardworks resulted with a 'C'.

I'm supposed to have a date with Yvonne, yenyee jie, and Cindy. But I have pushed them away because tomorrow morning I'm having my bio lectures at 9am. I can't go Dr Yong's lecture without preparation. I'll die half way through his lectures.

And anyways, diploma time, bio was 2 hours, but advance dip, it becomes 3. -.-" ( kill me pleaseeee!)

All the best to me.

Back to NYP being a student once again. And lectures after lectures on my first day. Felt good seeing familiar lecturers who are teaching me. Lecturers like Ms Ee Dzu who covers psychosociology. Also the most knowledgeable and detailed bio lecturer, Dr Yong.

Just first day of school and lessons ends at 5pm for me. More brain juice going to drain. And I start to realize how important sleep is, to keep me awake throughout the next day. It's time to cut down late night life...

Glad to see my preceptor back during PRCP in w46, nuri... She went into med-surg as well. And I start to see more and more familiar faces in school. Quite happy about that.

One thing good about being a full time student, we have the whole day's time to study and revise.. Time to read up... shall stop here...

At 1610hr, I signed out in the attendance book after clearing my locker, I'm a officially a student. Thanks to those hugs this weekend, my last two days of working. I never imagined those hugs could turns out so heavy. But I'm glad with all that I have...

Sis Jay did my interim appraisal and she heard my last words for 68. And I believe afterall, she's one of the great supervisor I've seen. I'm gonna miss all the regular routine of working. Wonder where I'll be posted to, after this 8 months of school. I had the greatest memory in wd11/12 and 68. Especially to those who came with me from w11/12.

it's time to work hard, learn hard and play harder. Gerontology is all about being active with the older generations. I'll ensure I maximize the fun I have within this 8 months, away from code blues and heart-attack piled-up workload.

All the best to my fellow colleagues, I'll see you guys when I see you. To my usual hangout peeps, it's not gonna be my last day seeing you people. So, I'm gonna leave my tears to where it came from...

All the best to myself too. Let's workhard...

Fighting!!
