running a kk flu bug now. gosh. hate that place cos it makes me sneeze all the time for no reason.

anyway, i'm back in kk hospital for cofm project to survey and collect saliva from house officers. yup. yucks! but actually, i think there's nothing wrong with collecting saliva. it's the only natural thing to collect from humans other than shit and blood right? hey, it's all natural so what's there to be so jittery about in the 1st place?

i always hated surveys because i hate being scolded and cast aside by people for no good reason, even if the reason for survey is for personal gains. but heck, gg back to kk was reminising my days back in paeds posting and as usual, the HOs were generally nice to me, except when it comes to collecting saliva. but that aside, i managed to get to talk to some of them and they were telling me about what they did for their cofm projects and how this used to be their 'holiday' period. haha.

cool, i found my RJ bio teacher, miss wee, during lunch in kk today. wow, the world is really small. together with kok wei, adilah and kenneth, we reminised the old days back in RJ and how mr nah was fondly known as mr 'kenny' nah. haha. those were the days when miss wee gave us nothing but good tips for exams and how we easily passed tests because of her.

went to watch 'the devil wears prada' in kok wei's place after collection time today. his house is great and the dvd's good. so it was a wonderful afternoon doing nothing but slacking. GREAT!

anyway, life is pretty good for now doing nothing. but i think i better start studying real soon or i'll be thrown into deep shit.

just returned from a movie and clubbing outing with jiayang, daniel (dentistry society president) and ann (one of prof arthur lim's secretaries). we went to watch "blood diamond" at vivocity and my, the movie brought me a new insight to the human greed for diamonds and the vicous cycle of poverty and civil wars in africa. i was deeply moved by how innocent children were robbed by "revolution armies" to become heartless child soldiers and how easily africans are manipulated and enslaved by forces of the world. it is really sad that western civilisations are pretending to fight for the rights and freedom of people of africa yet using underhand means to serve the wealth of their own nations. suckz! how can such "blood diamond"operations still be going on in our world? gals, stop your quests for diamonds immediately and guys, insist on your rights that diamonds are detrimental to the progress of african nations! haha, right, good excuse to keep guys' money in their own pockets.

next up was clubbing at gotham penthouse at clarke quay. as ann was severely underaged, we were forced out of MOS to GP. yuckz, i have never ever drank and danced with so many indians in my life! worse, the dance music was indian too! that aside, i had great fun actually watching soccer in the club and avoiding the many alcohol that was coming my way, tks to jiayang and daniel. i am not really an alcohol fan and had to shuffle my way out of intoxication. phew, in the end, i had jiayang's car key's to drive myself home cos he was dead tired from the night! whee! see, when i don't drink much, i can drive!

it has been drinking with jiayang for nearly 4 straight nights, minus friday to give my liver a good break. tango's, wala-wala and gothan penthouse. my my, my liver's starting to break down thanks to jiayang's crush for beer, beer and more beer! i think he is a great buddy to chill out with and he is so nice to offer treats and car rides. through these 4 days, we had gotten to know many of each other's secrets but too bad, i am not going to reveal it here so that i can continue my free treats! it is a little sad and disappointing to understand what he is going through at this phase in his life but i hope he gets through it real soon because a happy jiayang is much better than a sulken jiayang. jiayang, u hear me??

i love hanging out with people to cafe and coffee around because human nature is just so unpredictable and talking to people everyday gives me new insights to things around me. but oh well, i think i should stop hanging out for the meantime to really concentrate on my cofm project and start studying for pros. it is a little worrysome that pros is coming in less than 2 months' time. oh no...! for now, i'll read the newspaper before i sleep and wake up to a fresh new day... minus the beer of course!

here's blood diamond for you (recommended by me! 4 of 5 stars!):

today rockz! i'm starting to understand my shitty cofm project can bind groups of pple together now. today was a good example of how murphy's law was applied to my grp, but we managed to turn things round that favoured us instead. whoo hoo!

we were supposed to conduct a focus group meeting today at 6.30pm with a group of 6-8 house officers from nuh. but guess what - all the HOs went for a briefing at sgh and could not turn up! damn! we were tasked to finish it today so that our questionaire for the survey could be formulated by wednesday and to move on to interview the house officers by thursday or friday. as the clock was ticking and just when we were on the brink of desperation, someone suggested chiong-ing all the way down to grab the HOs after the briefing instead. brilliant! i was lucky to catch hold of a HO on the phone to help me stall some other HOs while we rushed down from nus to sgh in 10 mins. ~bingo~ we managed to interview 10 HOs out of the blue, and at last, for us to complete our focus grp discussion. phew! i'm so proud that we managed to turn a 'field work error' as termed by our tutor in charge to a great discussion with HOs.

yay! we did it. i'm so happy for the night now because it means............... tomorrow i can slack at home! Y-E-S!!!

today feels good. finally gotten my 10 hrs of sleep! a cool refreshing break from the past hectic week. gosh, what a havoc week it had been.

had a lovely new year eve celebration of a different sort for the 1st time in my life. yeah, i went drinking in kerly's place and my, what a booze party it was with et, sel, yingci, boon, kerly and dehan aka 'me-man'. those little angels from heaven tried to drown and knock me out with shots by playing 4 kings and scissors-paper-stone (SPS). my motor mental skills decided to take a back seat that night and i kept losing in 4 kings. yucks, it feels damn shitty to flush after 3 shots and feel the world spinning by the end of 4 kings. things were made worse by boon when he thrashed me 8-1 in SPS to make me drink 8 consecutive shots. *puke* yes, that was the next thing that happened to me. i rather throw out those alcohol than keep it over for the new year. goodbye toxins. haha. it was a memorable night with lots of fun. thanks kerly! u r the wo-man!

next up was meeting my badminton guys, eugene and kwok ming, on new year after the booze party. finally those guys are back from their studies around the world to serve the army for good. old army boys indeed. i was stunned throughout the conversation when they mentioned how some of our classmates are gonna get married real soon or how eugene is gonna buy a car and condo on his own in the next month with his nice army pay. argh! i dun even have a gf, am slogging out with studies for the next 3 years and have no $$! kaoz, they make me feel like a kid who is so ignorant about the realities of life and one who is so unprepared for the real world.

school started for us on 3rd jan whilst the rest of unis start on 8th jan... how unfair. but heck, when was the last time medicine was kind to me? hmm... can't rem. and so it's gonna be cofm for the next 5 weeks. what does that mean for me? more free time? i have no idea what is installed ahead, but i'm looking forward to interviewing the HOs (some of whom are good friends) for my project and catching up with meddies and possibly late night suppers if any.... sounds good! but i think i might not have any rest time either thanks to the charity run, which is a med soc project that i am overseeing. it's killing a lot of my sleep time and i realised dealing with lower Ms is not as easy as it looks. hopefully everything will be fine from here on. *pray pray*

for now, it's time to catch up with anime and drama shows again. YES!!
