ALONE is nice! haha the plot is nothing great, but it was really quite scary!! ask darius who was cowering behind yl's jacket with me ;p or ian who actually also screamed a few times!! or ben, who according to anna, made low gruntled "AH"s (his version of a "scream" i suppose!).. haha omg it was actually quite fun watching it! i bet everyone else in the theatre thought we were crazy though, cos we kept screaming and laughing.. great company!! =) haha it was such an adrenaline rush affair!
went to arena again! but this time the lead singer was just so terrible! his voice was so nasal! (i swear its worse than the last time i went =/ ).. and his playing of air-guitar and air-drums is just so urghh!!

anyway, aside from a rather nice-ish friday, another boring week has just flown by again.. weeks are creeping by too fast, its scary.. and the end of posting med test is coming soon!! ooopsss =/ i need to study! haha

well well well, i dunno.. why some things always end up that way.. and its not really my fault i think.. anyway, may i have an enjoyable afternoon and night!!

how come i cant change the font type? my blogger thing looks strange =/ bet its just being pissy and refusing to work properly.. so im stuck with such a lousy font..

anyway, i've been so tired! omg! cant believe this.. every morning there's a huge reluctance to get out of bed to go to hospital.. and everyday im sleeping so early..

sian!

gang and qiang's 21st birthday party!! =) it was held at this restaurant (i cant rem the name! =/ ) at Greenleaf Rd!

haha before dinner started, they were made to drink some strange chinese herbal concoction that is supposed to give them added energy!

dont think the "soup thing" was that great tasting eh?
hmm but i vaguely remember shengrong downing like half a bowl of that strange concoction! he did it voluntarily, clearly he needed the "soup" desperately for something!!

(a-ha! found this photo after i typed that above statement)

some photos taken during the course of the dinner.
ben and i.
glenn and i. oh no! i look so terribly happy here! =/

dear diane and i!!
hazel tan! haha

the twins!! haha


us at the third of the table.


happy nice photo of fish diane and me!! =) haha


and im never gonna forgive weili for what he did!! haha shengrong is like just standing there, totally oblivious to what went on! haha


they do everything together as twins..
(but check out that face in the first photo!! ;p )


their reaction after seeing what their huge birthday present was! - moved to tears (to say the least) ;p


illuminators =)


yupyup.. so once again, HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY gang n qiang!! =)





haha i shall blog abt ian's birthday soon.. after i get more photos =)

hypothetical situation..
if you suddenly realise that everyone else is "different", and that you cant talk to them anymore, does that mean that everyone else has indeed changed? or are you the one who has changed?
question to ponder..


HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY IAN!! =)

finally decided to put up some photos from fish's birthday =) it was held at Essential Brews, and i arrived at the party really quite late =/ oops! but anyway, i enjoyed myself! haha

we bought 21 shots for fish! but sadly, she only drank like 3?? =(

anyway, the captions for the photos for this entry is terrible! but pardon me, im tired and aching from a whole day in hospital and tonnes of walking after that!
haha im so glad that the weekend is here again!!
till then, Happy 21st Birthday Fish!

what a lazy saturday evening.. im sprawled on the bed in the aircon room watching tv and using my laptop..
i published a really short 2 liner post in the afternoon, but decided to remove that and replace it with this happier sounding post =)
we had fish's birthday party last night.. (i'll put photos later when im feeling less lazy).. anyway, i kind of enjoyed myself, somehow.. talking nonsense to various people and laughing hard with everyone else throughout the whole night.. did feel my voice go a bit hoarse after the party ended tho..
i'll elaborate more abt fish's party when the photos are up.. but Happy 21st Birthday Fish!! thanx for being such a great friend! and for being one of the few persons who still call me "pok".. haha miss you tonnes now that i dont see you so often anymore!

i dont feel like typing anymore things, tho there are many random, disjointed thoughts in my head.. some too personal to even be on this blog.. but at this very moment, im thinking that i dont want the next week to start again cos i dont want to have to go to sch/hosp.. yup..

the holidays have gone by (in a flash!!) and the new medicine posting has started.. i came back from new york on saturday, and within 2 days, im back studying again! it certainly felt as if i did not have a holiday at all.. new york was rather enjoyable! all the visiting of museums and tourist attractions (MoMA, Met, Empire State building, the "bitch" etcetc), walking and shopping around Fifth Avenue and Broadway and SoHo, long stroll in Central Park, eating nice and exotic food, cheap milk tea, the Lion King, Six Flags, cards at night, all the laughters and crazy songs and jokes...etcetc.....and not forgetting.. Sephora! ;p thanx for such a great trip guys! somehow thinking back about the whole trip is kind of making me miss the company and the city alot! before i get all too emo and all (haha!), i shall stop and say that im glad we all went new york together.. thanx again! =) i'll miss you guys! haha

anyway, im posted to cgh (changi general hospital) for this medicine posting.. and haha, its only been 3 days of school, and i've kind of been able to be late for 2 out of 3 days =/ haha but its not so bad cos im not -that- late.. just a bit.. but traffic is terrible! tsk to the tpe! its getting too crowded! haha.. i cant decide if i like csfc or this med posting better.. maybe its too early now for me to make a decision (since med posting only started on monday).. i dunno.. i guess there really are many many pros and cons for this posting at cgh and the previous csfc posting at ttsh.. i should just give myself time to adjust and adapt again.. with a change of environment and change of cg (not that its a bad thing, really, its not!), lets see how things go in the near future =)

im kind of glad i decided to go for sg actually.. (random statement)

there're many things on my mind right now.. hopefully they wont cause me another sleepless night =/

hello from new york!! =)
ive been in new york for 4 days, and its been great! walked around times square, union square, broadway etc on the first day, and we visited the American Museum of Natural History on the second day which was really nice especially the Cosmic Collision show! the third day (saturday) was shopping at Woodbury Common! where i spent quite a lot =/ haha scary come to think of it! and today, we had a nice nice brunch at thie French place, and then walked for hours at Central Park! =) haha i finally had nice milk tea today from this bakery place in Chinatown!!!! =) happy happy! we had nice dinner and relatively cheap dinner too!
anyway, for photos, go look here!! http://picasaweb.google.com/tanxq1986/NYC
we saw and took photo with Jake Gyllenhaal today! how exciting! =P haha hopefully there'll be greater fun in the following days! =)
i hate xinquan!!!!!!!

the week started out rather slowly.. with me falling sick (and not fully recovered yet =/ ) and having thoughts about many things in my mind.. not an optimal combination those 2 things are haha.. anyway, on monday i went for driving lesson and the driving instructor said that everytime he sees me, i always look so happy and smiley! but actually that night i was feeling very sian! haha hmm i guess its just no point to show the whole world how you feel deep inside you, when no one can do anything about the cause of that feeling anyway.. but in any case, a smile is always good! =)
on wednesday i had my driving test, which i passed! yay! yes yes, i know its been ages, and ive only just passed =/ and the next day i drove all the way to al-azhah by myself.. alright, cheap thrill..
i just watched pirates and it was really just ok! shant elaborate too much on it.. but im just glad that the week kind of got better and more slack even though i became more sleepy =(
i hope next week passes quickly!! then csfc will be over!! and we'll have our break!! and hopefully after this csfc, i will be more used to clinicals, and i need to be a million times more hardworking! (say only la ;p ) haha

maybe i should have fought harder for what i wanted, maybe i should have thought more for myself.. i could come up with many more "maybe-s", but i cant go back in time to do anything, nothing is going to change..
so i should just look on the brighter side of things..

maybe.. the days will somehow get better!..
..it could start with this wed!

just an update so that people know im still alive.. haha and thanx to sr and gang that my tagboard is more lively than my blogposts =P

this week has been tiring, to say the least.. and my resolve to start reading the textbooks is just sadly dying.. a whole of today has gone by without me opening any textbook/notes when some end of posting assessment is coming up really soon =/
the week started out rather pleasantly and slackish, walking around town, having surprisingly nice and interesting conversations with people.. but somehow i became tired and sian toward the end of the week, which culminated in me lying awake in bed doing nothing for almost 2 hours on friday night.. must be due to the lack of sleep that ive been getting for the past week =(
seems like the upcoming week isnt looking to be any better than the last.. this week, i seriously have to sit down and open my books.. and really spend more time in the hospital.. and maybe, somehow, enjoy myself more in the hospital..
i really pray and hope that i'll have a great week ahead..

this blog is seriously lacking in photos..
im really sleepy now after sleeping only 3 hrs last night and watching some korean drama series for the past 4 hrs!! =/ im addicted to it already! and there're many more discs to watch! hmm haha..

i miss talking to some people! =( boo..

even though is quite late now and i was falling asleep in the cab ride home (yes kenneth, now i'll remember that i owe you money), today is definitely worth a blog =) the day started out somewhat decently, with ward rounds with a nice prof.. and spotting an eye candy along the way as well =P but tutorial after that was just plain shitty.. what a condescending and anal doctor.. his comments were rather derogatory and rude, unfitting of a doctor.. and what fake sympathy he has for his patients.. i hope he vomits till he dies! in a nutshell, he's a piece of shit!

after such a horrible tutorial, i was just hoping that the day would get better, if not i would have just remained zoned out for the later tutorial.. and well, it kind of did! haha the diva herself saw the eye candy, and is just obsessed over him (as of now!) ;p at the risk of sounding too totally bimbotic, lets just say that the day cumulated into a fantastic night.. (right, diva? ;p) but more importantly, it was the great company that mattered, that made my day!! =)

at this point in time, im just really thankful that the day somehow turned out alright, with me forgetting how upset i was in the late morning, as well as getting a rather huge surprise later at night!
please let there be better days to come! looking forward to saturday again! no hospitals! can sleep in.. shop!! woo! =)

i've learnt to love coincidences ;p
but i still really dislike arrogant, know-it-all people..

anyway, i decided that i really love this song since a week ago (during the chalet).. thank you, you pangseh person for teaching me how to play this song! =) and hmm qiang, im still waiting for my photos! ;p

Time of your life.

Another turning point;
a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist;
directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test
and don't ask why.
It's not a question
but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth,
it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable
but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

many things to give thanks to God for today, and to be happy for! but im still having mixed feelings =/ siigh..

on a brighter note..
passed my exams..yay! it was a scary experience clicking on the button to see the result appear in front of me.. i swear my fingers were shivering as i moved the mouse and typed in my pin number.. but glad that is all over.. i have officially passed m2.. thankfully.. thanx to those who've heard me whine about not being able to finish studying, for telling me to study fasterrr!, for testing me random things along the way and then tsk-ing me when i dont remember the answer, for associating every bacteria/fungi/virus with me, for encouraging me along the way.. thanx! =)
confirmed my air ticket.. bigger YAY! =) holiday!!
met grace for dinner.. yayyyy!! haha we gave up shopping after only a short while and went to eat more food! ;p greedy pigs we were!

cant wait for tmr =) rarely have i been looking forward to the days ahead.. but there're many reasons to look forward to tmr.. the most obvious being that it is a saturday! a non-hospital-going day!! ;p
