Occupied

Time seems to carry no meaning when there are many things to do everyday. In a hectic schedule, sleep without the need to set alarm clock for the next day is simply rewarding.

Despite busy, days are however fulfilling. I start to
- play golf. I somehow find the beginning posture looks like a standing method to sh*t.

- iron clothes for a family on a fortnight basis. Can't believe this can be my money earning method. Luckily I didn't burn anything yet since I'd never even iron my own clothes before.

- be organised by actually plan a to-do list everyday and tick them off one by one.

- study musical symbols. Matthew (my flatmate) is keen to get me on both piano and violin.

- try out drinks in bar. Clubs or pubs here are just like our cafe back home, nothing more than a socialising ground or places for society meetings.

- take blood from patient.

We were taught to be 'caring' (haiz, just long winded la) here. They are keen to ask the patient 'Are you happy with me doing this or that on you?', 'Is it alright if I poke the needle in now?, ' Is this position comfortable for your arm or you would like to change it?' ... yada yada yada. Whereas back home, a nurse just take a needle poke in your vein and sometimes not even apologize when blood is spilt all over the bed. Most of the time, I am more nervous than patients.

I somehow feel that I have got many things in mind I want to do , but if I don't try them now, I probably wouldn't have the chance in the future. All life will eventually come to an end one day, I can live young only once. So why not today. And if I have the chance to try, why not my best. Who knows if this is the only chance.

Hopefully I don't end up blindly seeking temporal pleasure and entertainment and feel empty at the end of the day. Satisfaction in life and sense of achievement should come from deep down inside bottom of the heart.

Sneaker

Today is gladdening. Nothing out-of-routine happened. A pair of sneaker simply makes me feel good.

Am glad that I finally got something I'd always wanted. Another pair of green shoes. =D Can't believe I'm so into green these days after green duvet cover & pillowcase.

Am glad that I can stop worrying about falling down on slippery streets. For all you know, Edinburgh rains often and I'm clumsy.

Am glad I can stop thinking of getting my heel's soles stucked in between bricks and where to get worn out heel's soles rubber replaced. Many roads here, instead of cements, are laid with bricks.

Am glad that my jeans bottom can stop rubbing against the ground. Mummy isn't here to sew it for me and by paying 10pounds for the shop to do so, I would rather take 70 ringgit to buy a new one back home.

Am glad that every morning I can stay longer in bed since running to lectures no longer a problem

Can't recall when was the last time I wear a sneaker after high school days but all I know is I feel like walking everywhere now!

Weekend comes finally, but don't think I'll have much time to rest.

Dice night

This evening, a friend corrected my mistake for saying mooncake festival instead of Mid-autumn festival. To my astonishment, I never thought I can actually forget a word that has been with me for more than 20 years. I guess that's common among people who has been living faraway from home and own culture. =)

The celebration here was bigger than I thought. 3 main Asians societies combined and held a big event, but weirdly, in a church. It was an enjoyable night though, with an interesting dice game I seen only once in Pirates of Carribean. Their punishment for loser was a highlight. It's something that got me absolutely amazed. It was a liquid that smelled like kerosin in a green bottle with printed mandarin characters indicating 55% of alcohol. Goodness, that's worse than Whiskey's 40%.

Tempted to play, I started. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on my side. Counting odds and probabilities isn't my field too. Not only did I lose badly, also got forced to swallow that awful drink for many rounds. Bleeuek!~ Luckily, my very kind si-fu, Vince drank them all for me. Hehe. Towards the end, we weren't losing anymore but poor him, I guess he was too drunk to go home.

Think my flat too will soon have some dice to play with since Pei's addicted and is quite inspired to buy them. Hehe, it's really a great fun!

Many feelings are buried deep down inside most of the time. Sometimes for too long till their existence have been forgotten. Not until one day, when certain familiar settings come in and make it resurface again, only did one realise how long it had been left untouched.

BeautifuL

I AM SOOOOO HAPPY !!!

10 minutes ago, I placed an order on Samsung E900, Finally! Hopefully it gets dispatched in less than 3 hours so I can get it in 2 days time. Can't believe I'm going to hold it in hand soon! Hehe. Wonder how does a touch-sensitive keypad feels like. :p

It feels good and right after such a long wait. It's like recovering a piece of long lost precious of which I thought I'll never see again. Although it isn't exactly what I want, but am already satisfied. Life isn't always a smooth sailing I guess, yet definitely worth waiting . I shall feel contented and not to demand anymore.

Hopefully it is a good start again for our friendship. Thanks for your forgiveness and acceptance once again. You just don't know how much the few words you said this morning have brightened up my day. It does seems like lots of things are fated. Maybe I shall have faith in fate once again.

Happy Birthday Dearie!

Finally, my blur Piyo Queen turns 21. :p

How does becoming an adult feel like? Tell me soon k.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, someone is going to graduate soon next year. Hehe, I shall now start to think up what to eat for the big treat you gonna give after getting your first pay! Can't believe you eventually chose to be an accountant and me, a doctor. I still remember when we were like 13 or 14 yrs old, I always wanted to be a business woman and you, were so inspired becoming a gynae. Time really flies eH!~

Everything was once new and exciting, and I bet there still are, but not the same anymore as how we would had perceived last time. So many things happened over years and together we went through uncountable ups and downs. Thaanks a lot for being there all the while. There are certain things we just understood over time, and there are also things we learnt through the hard way. And you know what, I actually admire you a lot for your confidence, rational mind, cuteness, enthusiasm, kindness and thoughtfulness.

Dearie ar, you have been living 21 years of beautiful life and there are a lot more ahead awaiting ya. And I would like to give you my best wishes in your future undertakings. Miss & love ya SooOoOo muCh.

And again, Happy BirThday GaL !
