I need a job!

As I daze, get distracted and studying…

I realised the level of ‘ active ‘ rate in this blog is at it’s peak during exam period. Here I am, preparing for a supp whilst friends enjoy the holidays.

I’m not complaining, I thank God for the second chance! This semester hasn’t been easy and to be given another chance, it feels awesome!
I have a secret to share. After this entry, it won’t be a secret anymore. Crap. I’m just bad with keeping secrets, surprises…etc.

Oh well… I think she is keeping ‘quiet’ about this…….
I just found out that a friend’s dad has angioplasty surgery, right now I can’t help to give her a hug and hope that she’ll do fine. Cardiac surgery has it’s risk and to empathesize with her, it feels aweful to be away from the love one. I understand, I had a similar experience with a love one before.

God, I know that You are in Control.
Ale signing off. attempting to stay focus in her NEUROSTUDIES!

Sometimes, I don’t know why I do things, I do…

Just returned from winter camp.
I felt a surge of ‘spiritually-high’ but the take back message is, maintain the spiritual relationship with Christ.

Ok random
I was just thinking about an incident occured to myself a couple days back. We had a game of ANGEL + MORTAL and a Singaporean pastor during the camp. I felt home, well with the familiar singlish accent and anglican sharings. It felt as though Bernard came to speak. hee~
I guess nothing beats home. Even as I live in Perth for a while, I learnt to be independent and to take care of myself. I changed a fair bit, I think. I learn to move on in life, make friends from all over the world…..etc.

I think living at HOME has made me complacent. I guess for a matter of fact, the culture of ‘service’ has gotten people, ____. I hate to say it, but I guess I have to face it when I return to work. Oh well….there seem to be nothin I’m trying to bring across in this entry. Just let me rant. I will do fine .

Back to studiess!

In a winter wander land

10 things ale is going to do in winter

4. Travel up north.

5. Read the bible. Spend some time with God.

6. Go to subi. She actually does miss goin to subi

7. Learn driving

403Berwick

Church Camp at Berwick

I’ve moved to berwick street!
I’m sorry…Im in no mood to write in proper english. to lazy too and my brain juice is all squash out for assignment. Oh yah….updates…Im going crazy as usual. Nothing new. Im working on assignment in Singlish. Like real.Liddat sure cannot past one. There is church camp everyday. Im still getting use to life around.

Thank God…I have my housemates. They are some lovely people. One of them, a violinist and another, teochew chef. Last night, we were just talking about using 4 letter cheng yu to describe ourselves. Sarah earned the sentence ‘ jiao xiao ling long’…I had ‘ tian fun di fu’…hehe
This is the result of assignments. You become crazyyyyyyy….
I must think positive…
Positive must think of me. My frontal lobe is filled up with all the memories of singapore and right now, instead of using my parietal lobe to plan, sequence and implement my ‘typing’ assignment. Im right here in the library, procrastinating. My Cranial nerve 2 is blurring and Cranial nerve 4 is causing eye adduction. I suspect my corticospinal tract is shutting down since my fingers are moving really slowly….

Guess what! I just found a new technique to study! Yipeeeeeee

Huat ah!

Emerald hill, Singapore

How did you spend chinese new year eve?
A. Were you at your granny’s playing PSII with cousins?
B. Having a simple meal with immediate family?
C. Dining at your in-laws?
D. honking away because you were stuck at the causeway?

Usually around this time of the year, major malls and business districts in Singapore would be really really quiet. The chinese will flock home for annual reunion dinner and reunite at chinatown for fireworks. Instead of reuniting with relatives, I was bar-tendering at a resturant. I saw many families coming togather to ‘lao yu sheng’.
‘Yu Sheng’ comprised of shredded carrots, onions, calamasi, cracker, cucumber, sliced salmon or abalone and yu sheng sauce. There, waiters will say auspicious words as they mix the salad. People watched with delight. After that, people stood up and shouted ‘huat ahhhh…’

The atmosphere was filled with excitment as people tossed the dish and spoke well wishes.

This chinese new year eve was quite a different one. My mother and I spent the night, serving customers. How eventful….

Back in Singapore!

HEY PEOPLE

Scarborough beach

Ive not update anything ever since I’ve been in australia.
I shall do it now…

It is almost a month and two weeks, I ‘ve been here. I home-stayed at clarice’s aunts for four days. There, my aussie experience begins. I applied for a bank account, mobile phone…etc There are just so many things to be done. Well, the biggest problem faced then, was my class time table. Here, you schedule when you want to go for classes, what to enrol…I had great difficulty. Thank God, my course coordinator was so such a kind lady, she assisted readily.
I don’t know how I ‘ve changed having to be out on my own. I thank God for many random people who simply guide and walk me through these process. I felt that I adapted better than expected.
One of them, JK, I got to know him while I had to figure where to do time table. With his help, I settled most part of my time table. From him, I got to know two fab nurses. Belle and Joey. They taught me the art of cooking and the nights were much easier to pass with their company. We spent wednesdays in front of the TV, watching RPA- it talks about surgeries and patient care process, right from the beginning where doctors see patients till discharge. IT is simply exciting! I love that one. I love it when they do operations, somehow, kinda miss those days when I assist them, but then again, I’m learning to move on.’

It is real interesting to know belle and joey’s hostel mates. Two maritius boys who are chinese, so obviously, I spoke to them in the language. But, it turn out that they spoke nothing of it. They speak french.Cool eh

There is something about the transport system that I dislike. It is unlike from home where things are much more efficient. I miss SBS.

Currently, Im attending a church in South perth. Mission-oriented. Family based. Something that is so much of home. Also, I’m attending OCF, it is really wonderful to see their direction which is so much in accordence to the bible. Great. Shall stop here and head out for breakfast.

I miss the naan in al ahmeen.
