Sometimes, I wonder if I should've taught my mum how to SMS...
She went for her doctor's appointment today for her fractured wrist..and well, here it goes:
Mum: me need to go for physiotherapy..
Me: oh? When?
Mum: don't know yet
Me: ok, you can start moving your fingers more then..
Mum: doc says can play mahjong
Me: (purposely ignorant) which type? electronic?
Mum: do you know the meaning of exercise?
Me: ok, we shall play mahjong then!
Mum: forget it, you got not much money
Me: ... ... ....

Mugging Time!!!!
This is what happens at NTU each time it is the EXAM SEASON!! The Canteen becomes the students favourite home....for MUGGING!! (the group above looks happy though)
But..some...need more Tender Loving Care......=p
There she goes...
She walked into the room, all filled with the warmth and sweetness of what she could ever dreamed of. The people whom she had thought were the best in the world. People whom she thought that she could spend a wonderful time with. It was as though she had came back from a faraway land, to be received back into the arms of people whom she loved, and who loved her.
Yet, as she walked further in, as she talked with them, it was as though the thoughts she just had was a fleeting moment of euphoria. A moment in time to hold, just for that moment. The warmth melted, the place became cold. The feelings faded, the closness vanished. It was all just an illusion. All in her thoughts. Thoughts that was built on the past. The past which she thought was so, but was it really so?
Reality, always seem so different. It is different. That was the ideal. The reality has quite a way to go from the ideal. Yet, without the ideal, there is no way to reach what we want in reality. Oh, whatever the matter. We still need to hold onto the ideal. Another round of complication? Yeah, I think so.

Complicated
Why commit so much into something, when the commitment doesn't seem to yield the results that one is looking for? Then again, the results are of a system of thoughts that doesn't belong to me.
You put in so much thought into wanting to change something, only to know that somehow, that something has changed the perspective of the environment. A sense of insecurity, betrayal, disappointment. The something has won the votes of another, only for me to be left in a sense of utter disillusion.
Yes, hard to understand? Now, I'm making sense of things. The uniqueness of each one of us.Complicated.

WaShin MaChines
"Hello! Ask you ah, what's the diameter of the tubing for your place's washing machine?"
I was caught by surprise who on earth was it. Didn't say who he was, just asked the question. "I gotta go measure lar...how to know off hand?" It was my colleague from the other hall....ha...the crappy one..
Yup, and in the end I went to measure....2 inches...so, that's the size of a washing machine's tubing...interesting.
Yes, the most minute of things...yet...the most important.....new washing machines coming in soon....(=

(= Birthdays!
There are things that I know I should do, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Tough...my mind and my heart find it so hard to coordinate.
Anyway, we celebrated Dingting and Meiling's birthdays last saturday at PS Cartel. What caught my attention was this "cake"! (in comparison to that container of dairy milk - my God..huge isn't really a good representation of it, and on the right - the dice used to "sabo" DT & ML)

This one...should be ba gua news!
Actually, it was their sheep's dedication to them...recorded on a SE phone....too soft!

Friday
The weather ain't that warm, but I am. I think, I might have lost quite a lot of water whilst on the way up to the Finance Office. Uphill climb from the foot of the hill. Oh, if you haven't realized, my office is located at the foot of the hill, and the Administrative offices are seemingly all quite high above sea level.
Walking over, I paid a visit to my ex-colleagues. They were surprisingly dumb-founded when they saw me. Irene, my dear colleague there said that I look very havoc-girl now...whatever that means.
Met Joe there too...sometimes, makes me wonder if I should have introduced him to the job. He seems happy, yet, like not so happy. Hopefully, he start to see things differently, I hope. He's really a very nice chap, and I think, a good helper to Irene, especially when she was on maternity leave.
Anyhow, it was a good, short reunion. It's my first time after so long talking with Irene. Really miss her voice...very saccharine sweet. =)

No Rhyme Nor Reason
I walked through my house door, threw off all the stuff on my hands - paper bag, handbag, key pouch, and whatever nots, I slumped onto my bed, only to find that my sheets were changed! mmm.....smell of clean sheets were great!!! Grandma dearest had washed my bedsheet! Such lil' things she does just make me go....mmmm....*smiles
It has been quite a roller-coaster ride in my feelings of late. The emotional department of my heart had decided to do quite a fair bit of OT...which I dread...yet, it had to be so...some things just come, and they keep coming too!! grr...
Anyway, life's never a bed of roses...just that I am taken by surprise by the thorns I have experienced this year. Those thorns were good though. It was required, something that I did not regret going through this year. This is probably one of my most memorable year. Though not all memories were sugary sweet, coated with chocolate rice...ooh, I'm thinking of food again...but yah, they were strengthening.
"Life's never a bed of roses,
so let's hold on to all of God's promises,
just like our big brother moses."
A sudden inspiration to write the above...no rhyme or reason..haha..

Normacy Required
Something's really weird. I need some normacy!!!! This is the umpteenth time this year I am making hospitals my second home. First time was in March, which lasted till now, and Grandma is going for her last radiation session tomorrow. Now, as I thought I could have some rest, I am to be welcomed by the next thing -- my mum going to the hospital on Sunday night. Goodness!
One moment, I was doing my thing, the next, I was with mum, supporting her and telling dad how to call for the ambulance. Yup, what in the world's happening these days. A test of my calmness? Seriously...I don't know. Yet, there's this trust, which I hold. The trust that kept me going, and will keep me going still.
At this point, I just want to thank my dear sisters for your concern - jieyun, sarah, rachel, geraldine. Your words and actions have touched me greatly. Not only this time, but even when it was in March, when my grandma was unwell. I'd remember all of you dearly. I thank God for letting our paths cross, and you gals being a support in my life.
Now, on a lighter note. Some interesting happenings in a particular hospital in the east which I decline to name. Probably, I will do it in a news brief format.
It is reported that a particular doctor in a hospital located in the east had poked himself with the needle after drawing blood from a patient. Proper training should be done in order to prevent such kinds of incidents from occurring. The danger in the life of the doctor is evident, as one will never know the kind of diseases the patient is carrying. Probably, there should be a 100-time practice of how to draw blood from patients before the doctor should be released to do such procedures. If not, it is best to leave it to the nurses.
In the same hospital. A patient was found on the top of the building. It is not a usual sight, and the patient was not up on the roof of the building to check tiles. He was threatening to jump. Several civil defence officers were there to keep the situation under control. Fortunately, they managed to calm the patient down.
These are the excerpts of the ongoings in a day at a hospital. I found it interesting.
