Reunion dinner on CNY eve at Tai Pan!~
forgotten to take more pics. there's actually 3 tables of us!!
CNY Day 1!! gong hei fatt choy... dimsum at Pacific ~
My first CNY card (of the year)!!! 
Yay.
Exam's finally over... both progress test and the mock OSCE! NME's over. Can finally relax... until May/June!
The 2 week winter break was really blissful. Yet good times pass too quickly. Mom came over for 2.5weeks, and I finally remembered how good it was to eat mummy's cooking and to have mom there by my side :) No need for few hour chats over the telephone line, no need for mummy teaching me how to cook, she cooked for me! I even got to eat Pan Mee, Loh Mee, mum's chicken curry, sigh in short mum's the best!:D and i got so much of food supply enough to last me 2 months!
We went on a short 4day3nights to Barcelona, together with Eve,Kenn and Wills. ZARA is certainly so much cheaper there!!! ;D And then towards the end of mum's stay, we went Edinburgh for 3 days thanks to daddy's persistence that i bring mum somewhere for a short few days. It was certainly a very nice getaway :) Edinburgh was different, and being there on a holiday was certainly even more different. And with mummy meant lots of shopping! Especially over boxing day -january sales period. weeeee! When we came back to Preston mom had a hard time trying to stuff them all into her luggage. hehe.
It's so sad mummy had to leave. It meant no more mummy's cooking for another 6 months, tat i'll hav to cook for meself again, tat i'll hav to call home if i wana talk to mum, tat .. i'll had to start studying for progress test! >.<
And then I had 1.5 weeks of lazy GP postings. :P come back home everyday and watch lots of TVB. And Sze Liang, Glen , Alice, Sing Yee were all in Manchester on the 2nd .. so we went Trafford and dinner at Tai Wu then they came back to Preston wit us! woo... Preston oso got quite alot of visitors one kay! ;)
hahah.. so, who's coming next to visit me and bring abit of malaysia-ness here for me ??? :) (hint hint: nic dono when ure coming leh? ;D we can go shopping together!!)
In my 2nd week of surgical posting now :) my 3 main consultants are basically lower GI surgeons. So it's mainly lots and lots of back passages. Interesting? Tried very hard to keep straight face when i see them examining. Especially stuffs like soiled back passage and when the registrar tries to stick the rigid sigmoidoscope up the patient's bottom end while the patient whinges in silence or not so silent. I'll probably get used to it by end of 4th week.
Most of the patients in clinics are follow up cases. Or cases that needs urgent attention via the 2weekrule. I've seen 2 incisional hernia cases today. huge ones. And as i listen to the reg's explanation I kinda get the hang of the management plans. It's interesting :) Ok, well... in a way it is. hehe of course alot of times i tend to tune off a little, and then the patient will mumble something to me and i just smile back cos ops, i didn't know what they were chatting about there. my stomach loves to grumble. i was eyeing Mr. Bev's cookies whole morning >.<
Still, i got to say these clinics are somewhat more interesting than that I attended back in medicine block. Not that i find back passages interesting. 5 out of 6 patients come in with an IBD follow up. Alot of coeliac too, and some IBS. BUT, the wards were certainly more interesting. I see alot of alcoholic liver diseases. A few oesophageal Ca and colorectal ca.. who came in for other complications.
Oh well, it's just the beginning of my surgical block:) Should be getting more interesting now I get to go to theatres. Ah, and this is where FemPop comes in! Yeah so last thursday afternoon we were supposed to follow one of my consultants in OT. So we happily got changed into our scrubs and went into the designated theatre. Turned out the surgeon wasnt there that day and it was a vascular surgery but the guy said sure we could have a look if we'd like to. So we stood in for 3 hours watching a FemPop (femoral-popliteal artery bypass surgery) done, using the long saphenous vein as a graft... It's amazing to watch that initally pale leg turning a healthy pink and to see the graft "dancing" by the end of it. And i forgot to mention, the gentleman who was lying on the table was 93 years old. i'm utterly impressed :)
One of the days of my community posting, I was sent to a nursing care home. It was called "Memory Lane", simply because most of the residents there has dementia.
There was Joe who used to be a really successful businessman, traveling all over the world living a comfortable life in a large home and running an internationally known company. He's been married to his wife for nearly 70years. Now he randomly holds another lady resident's arm to take a stroll or dance, because he thinks she's his wife. But when his real wife came around to visit him, he couldn't recognise her at all.
There was another man who was an engineer. He still goes around dismantling the television set, the fridge and then get frustrated when he couldn't piece them back. Just because that was what he used to do all his life.
There was a lady who used to bake really beautiful cakes and wonderful pastries. Now she lost all her skills of that, even though i bet she's still fond of baking.
And then there was another one who lost her husband a while ago. When she gets part of her memory back, she'd start crying. Then her memory switches off, and she'd be wondering what she is crying for. Which will make her cry even more because she doesn't know what is making her sad.
With their short term memory gone, they all lived in their own little world of different eras. He may remember how he'd fought through the war, but not the names of his own children. Some of them had family members who would rather shut them out of their lives altogether, and would not even come by to visit them not once. While some had spouses who'd come and see them ever so often. Even though forgotten, even when they are ill themselves and needed to be taken care of.
Isn't it sad?
To think about waking up one day and slowly forgetting ur own life bits by bits. I'm sure it must be even more painful for those who loved them so dearly. He/she will no longer be the same person u knew all ur life. It may even change one's personality. Listening as their stories were being told it saddened me deeply. It reminded me about my grandma who pointed to the huge teddy and asked why my dog had became like that. It sounded funny, but more so it was horrifying to hear that. And to think that it could just happen to anyone....
It's my first birthday away from home. Somehow I wasn't at all excited about it, or rather i chose not to get excited over it? I asked a friend and she told me the same. Could it be that after ur 21st you feel less excited about the rest of the birthdays. I laughed, could it be i'm finally bored after having too many birthdays?
I chose not to expect surprises. I do want close friends to keep me company ... just so i won't think too much (and miss home). But i still do miss my twin sis. Its after all my first birthday without her.
Bought myself lilies after GP morning!:)
And after PBL in the afternoon, I went to Borders and sipped my hot choc (wanted to drink mocha but didnt >.<) and a little pie with siewsing, my clinical partner+shopping partner. =)
Well it's not as sad as i made it sound...my friends were really sweet!! i did have a surprise on Saturday during dinner .. and presentss and cardss! my first tatty!!! *thanks everyone*
*makes a wish*
a funny conversation between Tom and i in the shuttle bus.. when Hey There Delilah suddenly came on the radio
Tom: Will u fall for a guy if he sang u this song?
Me: Yesss!!! I luv this song!!
Tom: I know the guy who sang it. He's a friend of my cousin's..

5. all my friends of course!!! hangingout,crapping,and the long holiday i ever had.
;)
Manchester is happening ;D where i am right now, is not so. >.<
3.5 weeks here so far... and for the past 2 weekends since i've moved over to this kampung, i've been going back to manchester. like i said, it's more happening there. And for the past 3 weekends, we've been having dimsum at TaiWu. It's halfpriced dimsum for weekends, really really nice:D
I haven't really got a chance to miss chinese food yet because we've been getting doses of it in manchester. But i do miss mommy's soups :) mom hasn't exactly been cooking alot lately and i have been away either traveling or eating out too the past few weeks before i left. and i actually tried so hard to complete my list of 'To-Eat' that, i was practically forcing myself to eat 2 buffets in 2 consecutive day... i didn't get to thoroughly enjoy jogoya :( rakuzen was bad experience too because they were so busy that our orders take so long to arrive. sad. when i go back next year must go Jogoya again!
The seniors in Manchester are really nice.. and happening ppl. Last weekend, we went to Rileys, and i Finally got to play darts again!!!!!! brings back all the good memories of sem4 times when we play darts every single minute we could squeeze. in between csu and pbl. in between pbl and lectures haha. on results day we even had a 'final championship', we actually woke up EARLY just to play darts :)
Oh, back to the original topic... two weeks ago we had the biggest dinner at tai wu (for me so far). i think we had about 4 or 5 tables. and all the manchester seniors even those from preston, and even those who are working in manchester came. and even some from other places.. and i'm glad i persuaded shirlyn to come. hehe... ;)
this was how my first saturdaynight at manchester was spent.
This week alone, i've been back to manchester twice. during the weekdays. haha, i wanted to settle my student ID and stuffs on wednesday but i end up shopping. hehe. Classes end early on Wednesdays.. so we had time to go down.
This weekend tho, evie will be coming up :) Well, Preston isn't exactly unhappening, we got BBQ party this saturday nite;D.. it's just not so. ;D
3 days more before I fly.
How come I don't feel anything at all?
Got my flight ticket, visa, medical checkup done. my hair cut. my contact lens supply. i've been spending these few weeks eating wat i think i might miss eating. meeting up with ppl whom i might not see for another year. going around just to buy stuffs i need to bring over. wat's not so settled is my accomodation, but with fingers crossed, i hope everything turns out well. My luggage? haha, i got most of my things in it. except 40% of clothes, some coats, a few pairs of shoes, and alot of other stuffs piling next to it. Maybe I should rephrase, I got most of my things ON top of my luggage. I've got a problem with packing. And I'm lazy to pack the other 40% of clothes in to it. because, my luggage is about full... which means.. i have to repack.
It was back in March when Shirlyn and I were still working at TTMC and we decided to check out the MATTA Fair Friday after work. There weren't much time for us to think, I was busy for the next 2 days and anyway who wants to go twice? So, we booked our 4D3N Free&Easy trip to Hong Kong.
Well, where do i start?
Australia was awesome. I spent 2.5 weeks visiting 4 places, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide, touring with Shirlyn, my twin sis nicole joined in melb and syd, and met up with so so many friends. :)
Perth was the first and last stop. 3 days was short, but we managed to see the swan bell tower, the city skyline from kings park, the coastal area from city beach (where we stayed) til hillary's harbour, ate steak at sizzler, tried authentic vietnamese food of broken rice and viet ricepaper spring roll salad at this little vietnamese village, shopped a full day at hay st and murray st, visited the casino, the lake, and tried Donut King's original donut.
Melbourne was next in itinerary. I wonder if my particular favour for this city was due to the fact that we stayed within walking distance to city, or the fact that i met so so many ppl, from high school friends to and old chatfriend, jot, or the fact that i ate so much here-(max brenner, freddo,greco,kokoblack,brunetti,viet.list goes on), or it is because we had spent almost a week here. But one thing's for sure I have Ai-Ming, my friend since primary school and her sis Ai-Lynn to thank for their superb hospitality and being our unofficial tour guide, providing us with lots of maps, info, recommendations, cooking for us in the middle of the night. etc etc. And i made a few new friends as well, shirlyn's niece Brenda and her college fren, Jocelyn. We went on a day trip to Yarra Valley-Fergusson's Winery and Healesville Sanctuary(animal reservatory) and had a fun choo-choo-train ride sitting wit my legs dangling from the window sill. It was really enjoyable! Then we also went to St. Kilda on Sunday morning, caught a tram to Sydney st's Green Cafe(very cosy), walked along Docklands at night, had a mini BBGS gathering, catching up with so many of my old mates, 2 of which had been studyin here since secondary3. most of which i haven't met since high school was over. Especially my dear ol cute fren sooky. :D and yeefei! tho i used to meet her every chinese new year. I miss all the good food and all the chocolate (sinful sinful!), freddo's roche icecream, Greco's tiramisu and hazelnut meringue.
We took an overnight train ride to Sydney. It was horrible, thanks to this lady behind who refused to sleep even at 3am her bright reading light was on, and this man chating aloud standing right besidebehind me, coughing at my direction every now and then. That I could only fall asleep with my coat covering my face! Lina and my old fren, JenHau took us around in Sydney. Lina came and spent the entire day with us altho she had to prepare for a presentation! We had breakfast at Pancakes on The Rock on the first day, took a ferry from CircularQuay over to Watsons Bay, watched sunset at darling harbour. Sydney is either really famous for jap food or jenhau really likes jap food. I remember him pointing to so many shops and saying that it's not bad, most all were jap. We tried 2 shops- Takeru and Takemi. ;D Both were super nice! Had dimsum at Zilver, hav to admit this one was better than melb's(shark fins house) altho the service here wasnt as good. Siumai at Zilver is hugee. Shopping wise, we found much more cheap stuffs in Sydney.;D We took pics inside QVB(queen victoria building) and also at hyde park (it was a great day for picnic). We took a rather quick stroll at Kings Cross at night cos we didn't feel too comfy wit the atmosphere and crowd there, partly due to the preformed idea we hv abt this place i suppose. We had seafood platter and lobster at Sydney's Fish Market... was really fresh, mustgo for all seafood lovers. We strolled Bondi Junction a short while and went to Bondi Beach at dusk. I have never seen such huge waves rushing to shore, it was really beautiful. We had dinner at Hurricane. Ate lamb ribs and pork ribs .. lambribs was reallllllyyyy yummy!!! (say, d porkribs tasted like char siew to me. altho the rest disagreed. they prob didnt want to feel d heartache of eating expensive western charsiew). We chilledout at Ravesi's after dinner, more like trying to warm ourselves on a cold night, where i got to try Corona Extra and the famous Tooheys. 3 days to finish up sydney wasn't really enough.... we managed to cover pretty much everything we wanted to visit, though a little rush.
Adelaide was a good change from the previous 2 busy cities. I wouldn't say it's boring though. It's more peaceful and quiet and slow in general. But with 6 of them Villagers there, the house is always full of fun and laughter. plus d lucky fact that chunpeng and wenhao was there as well, made our stay in adelaide extra extra fun! We tried MarsBar Muffin and freshly made yoghurt at Central Market! Fun to take that long busride to Hahndorf, a german village, and ate a hearty german sausage meal although we got caught in a heavy rain (at least we had umbrellas!) Fun to take the tramride to Glenelg and had a fish&chips picnic (not so much fun tho cos it was freakin cold), jumping around on the beach for a perfect flying shot, and drinking Boost and eating ice cream although i was freezing. Fun to cook dinner wit d girls! Fun to have a steamboat dinner , altho with a slight mishap midway. It was all ultimate funfunfun. And Chunpeng brought us to visit the Cleland Wildlife Park, where i finally got to touch koalas and feed kangaroos and wallabies! They were so violent when i refused to feed him, he bit a mouthful of my piece of map! grr. Ah, we also kangaroos sunbathing and scratching armpit and one who scratched his balls. lol!
Last Friday, to 'celebrate' my liberty off my temporary job (I'm FINALLY FREE again! no more mundane 8-6! but im gonna miss it sumhow), we watched Fantastic Four:Silver Surfer at KLCC. And then we had late dinner at Jalan Alor.. the yummy yummy chicken wing!:D
On Saturday, I got up early and had BakKutTeh for breafkast at Klang, with Hau Chun as our klang-guide. ;p Then it was movie(Oceans 13)+ meet up with d rest of the *INs. After movie, we did our routine Zara-Mango walk, until we realise we didn't have much time left, so we headed for Coffee Bean to sit down and chat. My gosh, it's been so, so, so lonng. And finally all 5 of us are gathered there.. and time certainly flew when you're having fun. It was like time for exchanging souvenirs (receiving for me;p).
Sunday.... FATHERS DAY! I bought daddy a HUGO:Selection. Daddy loved it! Yay. :D We had dinner eating at a seafood restaurant which served delicious claypot crab rice, and chinese chicken herb soup in a trad chinese soupjar. yum.
And then for the rest of the week, i went to sing Karaoke twice, once with nic and another with chuen&jay. Met up for lunch at Vietnam Kitchen (ah, delicious beef noodles!) The timing couldn't be more perfect.. Seremban ppl had a week break, Aus ppl are back for winter break, and i dun hv to go to work!
Thursday (yesterday) was the ultimate MakanClub Day out! We got up early just to rush to MANGO for their first day of sales. And in 2.5 hours, we successfully managed to cover all 3 MNGs in the vicinity (KLP, Lot10 & Times Sq) with Li successfully bagged sth from all 3. Then WenHao picked us up, lunch was at Jln Alor, at this old coffeeshop which serves delicious fishball noodle, loh-mee and pan mee! Because it was so hot, we quickly ate and left... We ended up reading magazines and travel books and chatting, at my favvy bookstore, BORDERS. But only because they somehow do not screen Surfs Up there. When Chuen & SuetMay arrived, me & li had to go back for dinner. A few of them had mongolian steamboat which looked really really delicious. And afterwards, we met up for a mamak session at Devi's Corner! It was certainly one of d most tiring, but fun day. How often do we all get to be seated together and hv such good laughs?
Blink. And it's Friday again! I had breakfast with Nic and mom at Paddington House of Pancakes! at Hartamas SC. :D It's so rare tat we get to sit down to chat and hv breakfast together these days. yumm.. This breakfast set (comes with tea) only cost RM2.50. A must try!;D
Phase1 is officially over.. I've officially graduated from IMU!
(Collage too tiny to fit everyone in it. sry)
When i was young, i couldn't wait to grow up faster. My ambition was to be a teacher. I'd scribble on the whiteboard and my students were the stuffedtoys. I'd give them homeworks which were never to be completed. I'd pretend they were naughty, I'd scold them. I'd mark books made of old diaries, and give double stars like mommy would if i got everything correct. Looking back, it was hilarious. And just how far i've come (and deviated from my original idea) still surprises me sometimes :)
I'm halfway there to the big grad... been thru numerous exams, big and small. met so many great people, made so many friends, created so much more lovely memories. I've finally made it thru 2 and a half years. A good 2&1/2 years. However that said, I still have 3 more years to strive.. in University of Manchester!:D And i know, even after the big graduation, it will only be the beginning of my journey.. I'll be an "amoeba" (as that surgeon in TDMC(tmn desa) had told me before I even entered IMU.)
My supervisor/pharmacist, Leonie and I were so worried because Mr. Rama the other phamarcist left. Then it'll be just the two of us for God-knows-how-long. They desperately needed to hire a new dispenser. and a permanent pharmacist. Two of us ain't gonna last long with the workload we are handling. Last week i had worked with only one pharmacist at each given day. I was half dying by thursday. But thankfully, Friday was a peaceful day.
Those schoolkids are hving a good two weeks off. This was a blessing because most of our patient load are office workers, the tourists come in second and families (of the panels) usually during saturdays. The timing couldn't have been better, as it was school holiday, not only was the traffic smoother, our patientload has surprisingly decreased as well. It was a laidback week so far. Had a few 'prescription-storms' here and there. Not as often as we used to.. was a good thing.
I've been receiving alot of of
"so you're doing ur intern/training/posting here?". (to which i'd reply "yea well," ,too tired of explaining).
"studying pharmacy?" (smiles, thinks, "i'm studying medicine actually")
Observes changes on their face. Some politely just says "oh!:D"
I had the chance to talk with Dr. Lua a few days ago, an Occupational Health Physician. He said his son was in IMU, almost finishing second year of work in Dundee. When he knew i was studying medicine, he asked me what am i doing at the pharmacy, shouldn't i be following doctors around instead?
And today, with Dr. Koh, an ENT specialist. He was asking me about what kind of antihistamine nasal sprays and original antihistamine tables we have in stock. Then he got to know i'm in IMU. Apparently he used to be a lecturer in Sban GH, he said he even set-up the ENT team in IMU clinical school, and some of the questions from the bank were his! :) He was telling me about the 'those days' stories, and how IMU Seremban Clinicals came about. He mentioned names of lecturers that i've never heard of. Haha.
Last Saturday was IMU Graduation. Congrats to all in the deans list, gold medalist our very own hammy ;D, and of course all the rest for making it past phase1, we're halfway there! Glad to be in M204, a batch that created history time and again. After our IMU Cup victory, we created history by hving 74 in dean's list (usually 7-15 as prof victor had said). i'll post up some pics when i got time over d weekend.
Working makes me tired even if i was just sitting there whole day. I still have half a month to go!
It has a cute, catchy tune. Jack Johnson makes me feel like i do deserve a good weeekend in, doin nothing but just lazing in bed, forget the world outside. And that's exactly wat i did.
I had it all set, i needed my booster dose of Borders and Starbucks. desperately. and then i reached home after a half-day work on Saturday; i was homealone the whole afternoon.. my eyes getting heavier staring at my notebook screen. And then it started to rain outside.. ah, the perfect weather. to sleep. i fought my withdrawal symptoms, telling myself i can put it off til tomorrow. i've got the whole day sunday.
And yet, came Sunday, i woke up and went to town for a delicious curry laksa breakfast with mom and dad. oh, i will so miss all these moments when i go to uk. and then we got home, with a full tummy and a whole week's worth of sleep to catch....
nope. i didnt sleep ;D i simply wasted the day away. i still didn't end up goin to Borders. I sulked abit, but it's just normal to hv withdrawal symptoms when it doesn't work. yet again. put it off yet another week. i'm used to doing it. Now no matter waht happens, next sunday i shall be there.
Graduation's on Saturday. Friday's rehearsal and i had to go off work at 2pm. I feel so proud of myself. I'm finally graduating!!:D But i know i'm only halfway there..
Talking abt pancakes, I miss the pancakes in Double Dutch, Bristol. Sighh.
It was under refurbishment not long after i ate there. It was still when i tried my luck again early last year. I wonder if it's done yet.
i know it looks kinda horrible now. i'll fix up d codes when i m free... zzz
[edit on 19 May 07]
ta-da .. it's finally done! proudly present to u. after maybe more than a year... i'm back with a personally made layout for my blog. i love holidays.
[/edit]
Ever since i started working, i started to realise how much more precious weekends have become. And how much more extra precious public holidays are. especially when u work 5-and-a-half-days a week. my legs are constantly tired. dad laughed at me when i complained how tired i am even after a day's work. he says he's been doing that for the past few decades!
So i make it up for my lost days by dropping in at Borders at least once a month. I finally stepped into Midvalley in April, i think it's been more than 2 months since i last did. (the last was when we watched curse of the golden flower, serious!) i felt so much more human after that. and i missed 1U as well.
During the previous PC Fair i've gotten myself a new vaio!! and an external HDD. woohoo! soo soo happy!
And from work, i've gotten myself an autographed photo with Tun M & his wife! ;)
Sunday went out with Eve,Li,Shirlyn(LayIn),SuetMay&Shang..we ate at Delicious Cafe! yum... we had so so much to catch up. after tat, the rest had to leave early, so eve and i walked ard til late evening.
Well, yesterday and today was public holiday (which meant double yay!) But happy times really flies! So yesterday me and nic and emma met up with Vikki for lunch. Vikki's my ALvls classmate who's currently studying in Penang Medical College and she's back for the long stretch of hols. We ate at Italiannies and surprised her with a candle on top of the tiramisu that we ordered, and had the italiannies team sang her a bday cheer for! (we celebrated her bday early cos she's gonna be in penang and us in kl on d real day) haha ;D Vikki left around 3half, cos she had to meet up with her cousins and all. we continued walking around. trying out dresses and such. We finally left at 5plus.
The "Drink Lots of Water" Advertisement! :P
At night i went to SKYBar! Li came over to my house and we went to skybar together, jay,joey & eve were already there. We had fun listening to d latest gossips and exchanging stories..
working has been crazy. fun, but absolutely energy-draining. imagine waking up everyday at 6.30a.m. and then working from 9-6. or 8.30-5.30, depends. i'm currently working at the pharmacy dept of the twin towers med centre.. good learning experience. i begin to familiarise myself with vaccines , malarial prophylaxis and certain drugs, finding myself being able to pick up slightly more speed by the end of one month. u can never imagine how lost i felt during my first day of work.
Ok here (at long last) goes, i've been tagged twice (so many weeks back), by both sakthi & christine ;D
Each player of this game starts off by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as
well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave them each a comment
letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog.
6 weird things about myself..
1. i love collecting random stuffs. it all started with a normal stamp collecting hobby (that by now has faded off) and replaced with keychains, postcards,
wrappers, (nonmechanical) pencils, foreign currencies, old/new coins, cards, apparel tags, teddies, boxes, and when i was younger cute erasers as well!
2. i love to take pic of cute/nice inanimated stuffs. eg. a cup of almost empty milo making a smileyface, armadillo-shaped clouds in the skies, signboards/funny ads on the streets, microscopic view of a endometrial with a reindeer shaped gland (inside MMS:P), or a heart shaped button mushroom. but all these are very amateur attempts.
3. when i'm upset i gulp down plenty of water ... at least its non alcoholic so it doesnt cost my liver, and i most prob'd hv stopped b4 i die of water intox.
4. i sometimes say things out of the blue (of cos it was already running in my mind before i blurted it), not remembering to explain wat i was talking about beforehand, assuming ppl can read minds. esp when it was in the middle of another conversation it can sound totally weird. but its not entirely my fault... i prob inherited this fr my mom.:P
5. i cant stand staying at home for too long (eg. 2 whole days) i'd diee screaming of boredom. but then i'd go out and realised i miss home not too long after. wahahaaaa.. (p/s: this doesnt really apply during sales )
6. i cant think of nething really weird anymore. dey say girls r supposed to dig chocs .. but i dont go crazy over. but i love ice-creams alot, :D so maybe dat sort of covers my lack of choc crave. however, darren, i still very much, def WAN my kokoblack when i go melb :D *weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
okla tats it... of course, maybe u'll find even weirder things abt me i fail to mention here, then tat's js lucky u ;D
6 people i'll tag..
