On the world?

Right, yesterday I have done CIP in the library for 61/2 hours. I am trying to be like all my crazy friends and clogged up to 30 hours so that I can cut off 1 point of my "o" levels...how pathetic can that be? But shelving book is fun, I love annoying the crap out of people by being a hindrance to them...they can't get their poor dear books....
Anyway, I officially announce that I am going on a long holiday to Malaysia, wouldn't be back til 11th DEcember. My birthday is on the 16th people! 16th! (Hints very loudly)
As usual, I , the fantastic, caring,loving sister, have given that rot-brat brother of mine a present. Well, I haven't given it to him yet, will do so officially on his birthday. My dear parents gave him an handphone with the excuse that we wouldn't be able to celebrate his birthday during the holiday.HMPH! I realised that I did not remind them that the last time our holiday trespased my birthday, they icily told me that the holiday was a present!!!!!! okay, I am the responsible sister here, so it is essential that I behave my age. No whining. But why I adore cheese when he is just so damn irritating is beyond my sensibilities to comprehend. (As he puts it, I adore him because he is adorable)
Sigh, in any case, another month of the precious holiday has passed...sigh...

ChaLet

Fickle minded, fickle minded, fickle minded me.
How I often wonder, if this is what it seems
On to the chalet, a day for love and fun
Lose all my sleep to replay the time lost in the sun
Debated 20 times on when I should depart
Finally decided, tomorrow is quite a start
Come back in terror
and to my horror
bro's future school is locked with my future
Did everything, within my puny power
To make sure things never ever change
Zhong hwa, Xin Min, or Super far Chung cheng
The school that looks like it comes from China
I don't want to say it, but it looks really cina,
And the bungalow there-Ohmygawd
Looks like it comes straight from GOD
A school like that
so isolated
Obviously not very well located
But then, damns, mom likes zhong hwa
anyway, don't know what else to say
Poem writing has gone array
never mind, will up date you soon again
til the time come, don't dismay.

Operation

Such a fickle-minded person am I. After that fantastic demostration of my homework I have presented to you, I have changed my mind. I am going to do something much more adorable(and yes, simpler) and WHEN it's done, I will tell you again. (Must pantang ah...)
Went through an operation yesterday to remove a lumpy dumpy. The doctor insisted on stuffing a screen in front of me so that I cannot see which part of me he mutilating. And he keeps singing while doing the surgery...sheesh....
Then I think his medical student cut him instead of me (The fantastic Ouch would have hinted it) and he stop singing but rushed off to the bathroom.I asked if he cut himself while his student sheepishly said she did it. On the whole, the whole operation went on fine but I was suffocating under the screen because the doctor kept leaning over me.
I think I am the only patient who keep hoping around like a mad woman after the operation. They were lots of more grannies and grandpas who had to have their cataract remove, so you see, they were not exactly a happy lot.
The mom kept raising my blood pressure that I am surprised I did nt suffer a heart attack..AHHH...she makes me sooooo mad sometimes, but this is not the place you blemish your mother isn't it? Alright, she said she is getting old, keep forgetting things and I am afraid I perfectly agree with her. Oh, by the way, thanks for the hugs people, made me really happy or was it just AYS you rascal? (the rapid counter gave me a really good clue) haha...thanks anyway...
Sagittarius are born between Novemeber 22nd and December 21stSagittarius is a Fire sign.Honesty is the key to your happiness although it can make you seem at times some what insensitive. Your keen sense of adventure will ensure that your life is never dull and you prefer to live life on the edge, travel plans are never far off as you venture into new and daring pursuits. You can sometimes be cinical and try to analyise things too much but sometimes you should just let life be. You also have a philosophical side that comes out during even the most heated discussions. (True?)

Pleading for ideas

Yoz people! I got a dilemma here, coz I realise for the chinese project we are expected to do everything in 3D. (I thought I escaped this problem when I took science instead of art classes) Damns! Now I am staring at my nice and red book, wondering what I should do. Does anyone think the idea with a styrofoam board, a nice sun, two mountan, two flower and a nice poem is sufficient for the project? Maybe on one mountain I can put a comic strip, the sun put the tittle, the other mountain why I want to do this design(coz I was forced). The flowers I can do character studies and the middle of the fantastic scenery I splash a poem that represents my feelings about the story!
Sounds smashing(If I can do it!) Anyway, time to introduce someone! My tagboard suddenly look warmer. AYS! haha...seems like this person prefer to remain annoymous too. AYS is my very good friend, has been with me since we started the road to serious education(Primary one?)AYS is also partially deaf in the left ear when speaking over the phone, until AYS agrees to dig the ear, I would still have to shout down the phone at AYS!So difficult...I wonder if AYS want me to reveal the gender.....and oh yar, I dare not smell my handphone, AYS.

Success!

Yippie! I manage to finish all three sciences, so now I am only left with Social studies and chinese! Well, ok there is one question and two part questions I don't know how to do in physics but its just perfect! Anyway, I am attending the study group with those super mortals-they should be able to aid me right? ;)
My birthday is next month(hint,hint). Pa wants to buy me a handphone for my birthday, but that got to wait til early next year when I can upgrade my current one. Mom got me a pink op wallet! Gosh, its beautiful!(and make me feel officially like a teenager coz you wouldn't believe til secondary school I am still using those cartoon wallets!)However, in view of the raging 30% discount going on at op, pa decided to buy me this really nice blue duffy bag. I am really delighted because I always wanted a drum shaped bag and my wish came true! The downside is that its a little small, so I am only going to use it for holiday and causual shopping. (Definitely not applicable during the exam period, where I will be lounging my faithful genuine girl bag which is bigger to stuff homework. )
To top of my happy happy day, pa FINALLY agree to get me a squash racquet! (he claim that squash ball will hit my head and make me dumb, which is pure nonsense coz all ball games have ball!) Now I can invite people over for a game of squash without them asking the awkward question "you got racquet?"(yes, pa agree to buy two after I convince him that my friends can't hit the ball with their hands)
Ahh.....I am so glad to share this happy news with you...hee....now its back to social studies!

Super mortals!!!!

After joining the super teen camp, I realise to my horror that all my friends have become thoroughly abnormal. How abnormal you may ask. Well, they are planning a study group in the middle of the school holiday and have finished all homework except chinese! Ah! Chinese!
I still have physics, biology, chinese and social studies and these super mortals are left with chinese. Sure, they are motivated and I am stress. Mom, of course, put on the alarm belll again...no stress, dear you know yourself. Anyway, she is rather convinced that they are hangat,hangat , tahi ayam (hot hot chicken shit-implication:it's just a passing fad)
Ok........but i never take assumptions...it is a dangerous world out there and school is preparing us from it. Oh yar, another phrase to convince myself I need to take it slightly seriously " xue ye ru ni shui tui zhou, bu jing ze dui" (Education is like the rowing of boat up a current, if you don't tend to it, you just gonna drown in the waterfall-geography)
Which explains why I sat down and finished all my chemistry paper at one go. I am going to start biology soon too....oh dear....see ya!

Whippie!

At last! I manage to get both the tag board and the counter onto the blog....For some reason,it took me two hours. Mom asked suspiciously if I was doing homework, which I told her quite truthfully no. But I did manage to finish all my maths homework! Yippie!
Maybe I should ask someone to stand in as an instigator for me....otherwise my tagboard will get pretty lonely...maybe 1 or two of my best friends who know my true identity.
Haha....week two of holiday and I have only finished three assignments....not up to my standard at all.....
Oh yeah, I have not intro my dear pet to you....have a look! His name is Hamu (Shamu the whale, Hamu the hamster). Actually, you can't see him now. Not until I figure out how to put the photo up online.....
Sigh, but he's damn cute! All the better the reason to get a instigator....teach me some skills I REALLY lack!

Another day

Wee....got so furious with the nurses at TTSH that I felt like punching their noses...ok, no violence. But here is the chronological events of thingssssss................
1) ask if I could keep the paid blood test form for the next visit coz I already did it at NUH
2) Said they want to refund us and left my form on one side of the table
3) Form is still on one side of the table
4) Mom asked what we should do
5) Clerk said in an irritated voice," What do you want."(at this point, I would like to say it took considerable amount of to stop me from tearing that place apart)
6) mom patiently explain while I gave out my aura of You-are-so-going-to-die
7) They argued with mom
8) ask for receipt (which I would willingly say is my fault, coz I insisted I gave it to them, but actually I didn't)
9) came back with dad, who gave them the receipt.
10) gave us a refund
11) look at no.1, coz they finally said that is what we should do.

Not very efficient, with the sharpness of a sotong, I would say. I found that at NUH, the nurses and all the staff were really friendly, but the doctors are pretty scary. Here at TTSH, the nurses and staff are like t____t, but the doctors are really, really, nice.
So I went to see Dr BT, who was really nice and friendly. I think he was pretty intidimated by Prof, coz he kept asking what did she say. (Actually, I was in a bad mood after the fiasco with the nurses, so he probably thought I was going to sent some bad news)
He looked at my results and all that, though I politely refrained from telling him that the eight pieces in his hand were about 1% of my actual data at NUH.
He decided to cut my cyclosplorin and of course I was worried he would rise my steriods, so I warn him again and again not to touch them or he shall receive hell fom me.
He chuckled and said my behaviour was true adolecence.
Prof never wanted to cut my cyclosplorin, so I asked him what made him so confident. He said thoughtfully that Prof had seen the very worst of me, which explains her reserve. That was really really true and when he said worse of me, its really bad, because I NEVER admit myself to a hospital unless I am screaming with an inability to walk. (That's why the nurses always say: Come here at the SLIGHTEST warning. I would actually consider that if the food is edible)
In a way, I am looking forward to the cut in the cyclosplorin. Then I would look much less hairy, which I personally despised(but its better than a moon face) Pa gave me this big prep talk about the benefits of 2nd opinion, and in a way, my attachment with prof suddenly melted away. Damns. No wonder pa was once a sales man. He's good at this sort of thing.

Another Day

Oh well...another day has passed again. The 2nd opinion at the doctor assured me that it was nothing serious, but I decided to go for a surgery to remove one of the lumps. Much to my parents dismay.
In any case, I am starting on a new storybook, called Starwars:Shatterpoint-A clone war novel
Really interesting and exciting. At least I get further insight into the character, Mace Windu and his padawan, Depa Billaba....
Anyone with more information about the collection of "clone war novel" would be welcomed, Starwars is really cool!

Letting go

A few days have passed since I accepted the fact I was going to the new rhumatologist at TTSH. I still miss prof, but I also suspect I will get over it. Anyway, normal life goes on and I am quite determined to tackle two of my most brain boggling subjects-the family of maths. Now I am on to e-maths.
I often enjoy taking the harder route before progressing on to the easier one. Chinese would call this "sian ku hou tian"(bitter first, sweet later)
My life is sort of an emotional turberlence sometimes, a wild unexpected rollercoaster. People will never know what I truly feel because I, like eveyone else, put on a mask in public. Haa....life is like a masqurade sometimes......

Annoymous author

AHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!Thought I will vent a bit here....was doing a-maths rather happily when I got stuck in a question. If there is one thing I hate most, it is getting a brain block.
Have to see the doctor today and I have no doubt that she will be fuming mad at me for doing an inaccurate bloodtest...oh well...its hard to remember when you are having a holiday. You wake up late, eat the medicine late and ruin the whole test.Not that i mean it.
Still, I have been a tad to lazy for my own sensibilities...have to catch up! But the December holiday are so alluring....
I feel pretty down now though...Dad's gonna seperate me from my doctor....I feel like a betrayer, suddenly wrenching away from her...Ner thought I would suffer from what my new rhuemy call "attachment"....she look so shocked and I felt very bad....is that how deep an emotion a doctor and a patient can go despite only meeting once a month? But then, if not for her, I might have progress even further...perhaps to kidney failure.....Love you, prof! Will give you a present, I promise!

How fun! Since the holiday is starting, I thought I began my own blog too....nothing offensive or anything like that...I am too good for those! Just to add a little game, maybe someone would like to guess my identity soon!
I have been looking round at my friends post...all of you pretty like venting on the internet, don't you?
Brother's birthday is coming...what should I give him? He hinted electronics....sigh...sure know that they will be really expensive! Anyone has any suggestion?
