Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue.

Lesson learnt: Be at the breakfast table when everyone is around. DONOT delay cuz if you get there late, everyone’s gone and all the nice and hot breakfast is cold! Plus its kinda boring eating all by yourself!
Anyway, we (as in Dad, Ma and I) decided to go look for Sofa’a. Being the typical picky person that I am, it took me less than 3 seconds to reject what my parents were almost ready to buy. So yeah I am sorry mom and dad!
We picked one that all of us thought will be nice if we could get a dark colour in it (besides black). I am so so excited about furniture shopping for my new house. It’s the most enjoyably bit!
We headed towards Arthur’s theme for dinner. It is famous for its exotic fish but there are some really “exotic” mouth watering vegetable sautees as well! After a long week, my entire family, by that I mean my moody brother who decided to grace the occasion, was there at the table.
I think we enjoyed the warmth of each other’s companies and the hilarious stories more than the food! It was so cheesy that I felt stuffed when we left! My parents, being great patrons of baskin and robins, could not resist themselves from visiting the ice cream parlour (in winter! and after a sumptuous meal!!)
My cold didn’t allow me to even pinch some mint off my brother! Argh! Again: Being sick is so uncool
It’s really wonderful to have such a jovial father. His only worry: his family, his aim: peace, his preaching: love, his confidante: us. This truly fills my heart with deepest admiration for him.
I was dead by the time we came back home. After a long long time, the long long drive back served as a lullaby to me! Gosh its good to be back =)

I’ve been so excited to go Yuehan’s Ball. We have been shopping for days now trying to figure out what to buy to colour match! Its exciting always shopping for new clothes! Well my eyes took fancy to the Fcuk dress we saw the first time around! Not sure whether to indulge or not, I finally bought the dress, deciding that it was worth the risk! And surely it was so worth it!
Yuehan looked good with his fantabulous suit! Unlike the usual box up suite, this one makes him look (cant find words) (male version of chic?)
I still cant come to terms with the the fact that the poor guy had to pay 350++ for the food, which according to me was (I better not comment lest Yuehan reads it).
The most enjoyable bit was taking pictures and not to forget Hazel’s boyfriend’s really stunning.. nah cute performance..
I actually did that myself! Hmm sometimes i think becoming a hair stylist aint a bad idea after all!

We seem to have grown so much this semester. In terms of making friends finding our way around, getting our priorities correct, managing our studies!
Some of our experiences were common and some uniquely different! But at the same it was just so intriguing to listen to the different experiences and challenges she was faced with!
Brave April and her funnie 400 pound story reminds me of how some things will never change=)

Since a very long time, I have been thinking of helping out in a Church Ministry. I feel that somehow will spur me on! Don’t know why but I feel the beckoning from The Boss! (But Boss’ don’t beckon, they just order!) Oh well, I just feel that, it’s time I give back to the church and contribute to the family of God.
Today is my very first step I suppose. So I am happy. For once I am doing things I have hoped to!
Will write more about the caroling event soon! For now I am going to edit my other blog entries. I am so kicked about writing this blog! hehe..

I am currently staying in a makeshift room! (Thanks Jon). But it’s overwhelming (to a neat freak like me) to have loads of luggage all around me. I literally mean all around me (don’t freak out Jon). The only thing pristine is I think the bed! Thank God for that!
So there you go. I wake up everyday – at about 8ish and then laze around a bit! Check my email. Read my book! By lunch I shower! Did I mention I am losing appetite, I really don’t find myself eating much until lunch! Then I walk to the NUH shuttle bus service. Off I go, either to meet Akanksha, Yuehan, Caryln, April! Meeting them is always an opportunity to eat something! Cuz I really cant talk much by the time I reach my destination!
Eat, Shop, look around, stone! Hmm that is practically what I do – oopsie not to mention that heaps of garbage with some handful of sense that I talk!
Then come back to hall, its really late (sorry ma.. don’t worry its safe here). I am so tired, I can close my eyes while standing. So there off to bed!
I am not too sure if just taking things easy like this is good or whether I need more adrenaline in my life! But its been good somehow. I feel completely relaxed. Only the place factor gets me a bit edgy!
So ya, some may say – wow that’s very unlike you, some – it is good that you are taking a break, some – perhaps you want to consider taking a holiday! But for me – this is good! Simple life! Ordinary – yeah why not!
Simplicity – I feel good =)

There is a new freshness to us! Dont u think? Haha =) *winks*

My dear friend April left for York to study social work on 8th October! Organising her farewell and probably the only farewell I have organised stirred a emotions of frustration when things didnt work out right (cuz I wanted her to have a perfect farewell, though I wonder what a perfect farewell is like), happiness that she was going to pursue something she's always desired, sad that there will be timezones, seas, countries dividing us (gosh that doesnt sound right), but most of all regretful that I didnt spend so much time with her when I should have. I was so engulfed by my new surroundings that I remained oblivious of my dear friend. I tried to look out for a listening ear in medicine, someone I could connect with when God always reminded me to look no further. Ever since JC, April has been a dear friend to me. But sometimes we all take the things most precious to us for granted (atleast that's what I did). But once she left, in hope to rectify this mistake, I kept in touch, soon to realise that it is not so difficult after all to build on one's friendship irrespective of the place, circumstances, or the time zone!
So here I am now, 2 days more to go before I meet her again. I am glad Ill be able to catch up with her even for a little while, que sara sara, what will be will be....

Sour grapes story parallels well when once we say, (once when we havent done well) that not all good medical students go on to become good doctors. But in all honesty, everyone wants to do well. Lets put things into perspective. When the time comes for you to adminster to people, then you handle it then. Bu for NOW, what you are called to do as medical student is to study, do well in your work.
Semester one has not been very good for me to say the least. And I definitely donot hope to adopt a sour grapes version of it. Biochemistry 59 and Anat 55, were not a pleasant shock. I studied, but towards the end. And I studied cuz I had to study. Distracted, worried, exhuasted I was but its like you give in everything. I thought atleast for anat, I could do well. But I am happy in certain ways that I came to realise soon that I need to work harder. And work efficiently. So yup. It's easy to say that studies are my priorites, but when I just go off for supper in the midst of studying, or start talking on msn, or on the phone, or stone, or start gossiping, I dont really think I am being true to my commitments!
So yeah next sem is not too far away. Hopefully, not hopefully, I WILL start the term with my best foot forward!
My motivation to study - dean's list is an inevitable part! But there are other meaningful inspirations as well! So yeah hopefully next sem I'd be able to write something like - It's good to come back from exams knowing that you've not guessed your way around!! =)
