Sprained Ankle

Today is 3rd of the Lunar New Year and well...
1) Had an argument with Baku
2) Sprained my ankle
3) Watched 'I Am Not Stupid 2' by Jack Neo

I sprained my ankle on the way to buy the movie tickets and yet still got chided by Baku for buying the tickets as the time for the movie was 4hrs later...

Anyway... we had an argument and the rest is history!

So about the movie, I found it pretty meaningful on how S'pore kids are growing up in a duel income family with lack of communication between the parents and kids. Then, of course, the kids turn to external source (gangster) for comfort as well as security. Parents on the other hand can't figure out why their kids are not 'behaving' themselves and expect their kids to excel according to their expectations.

Not to forget the issue of 'Public Caning' being held in some schools as a form of punishment melted out at delinquents who happen to broke the major school rules. But seriously, how beneficial is this caning? Does it really help to lessen the occurrences of these major offences happening? Does it really bring fear in the victim being caned? Would hurting their prides bring a betterment of the victim's character and behavior? What rights do the school have to incorporate caning to the students when their own parents don't even lay the rod on their child?

Then again, how about this proverb of 'Sparing The Rod, Spoil The Child'? Is it true? Any scientific prove to support this statement. I shall leave it for you, readers to decide...

1st Day Of Lunar New Year

Happy Doggie year people!
Yeah today is the 1st day of the lunar new year and I finished with some visiting. Watched Jet Li's last movie, Fearless. The movie was really nice and meaningful. Liked it!
Okie, now for the ranthing part... I RECIEVED A BLANK RED PACKET from someone! That is so shocking! This is my very first time in my life recieving a red packet with absolutely NOTHING inside. How horrible can that person who gave me the red packet be?! Anyway, my mum said probably that person just wanted to give me his/her blessings and wish me good luck in this coming year. But, that is so lame. No comments!
Next thing is the yearly 'fortune teller' on the Channel 8 show said that this year is a good year for the Pig to get married but I have to careful with in my working life especially with documents and stuff. As for the Sheep, it wouldn't be a very smooth year... It has something to do with the 'fan tai shui' also not too sure what that is... Anyhow, just hope that 2006 would be a good year for everyone reading this blog.
About the ROM, I am afraid that after the ROM, I won't be able to recieve anymore red packets from next year onwards. There goes my yearly extra cash opportunity already. *sigh*

AED

I have achieved another certificate to my name: the certificate to practise AED (automated external defibrilator).
Haha, it was an easy certificate to obtain compared to the BCLS certificate. All I need to do is to put on the cardiac pads and turn on the machine, let the machine analyze a shockable cardiac rhytum, say STAND CLEAR, press 'Shock' button and done. Easy right?

I'm Back

Hi peeps! I am back...
Well, the trip was kind of enjoyable but something bad happened on the trip. My digital camera was dropped by my dad's friend's daughter. Thus, it is spoilt now and I will have to bring it for repair. Yeah, so my picture uploading has got to wait... :(
Anyway, after this trip I have many realizations:
1) Be happy with the life we are leading in S'pore. (At least we ain't so poor that we have to live under the highway bridges)
2) The traffic here in S'pore is so much better than there. (Less traffic jams and we don't have wreckless drivers on the road)
3) Our S'pore service people should learn from them on how to provide good service and greet customers with a genuine smile.
4) I am more determined to ROM with Baku after this trip. (I missed him so much and even thought of just taking the next available flight back just to see him)

Oh yeah, I found my Victoria Secret body mist!!! Hurray! (Strawberries and Champagne)

Back to work tomorrow and I have got to wait until May before I can have another week of annual leave for my ROM. Hee hee, after my May annual leave I would have a brand new status in life from single to married woman... Lol... *blush*

Leaving

Oh yes, I am leaving tomorrow for a vacation and a break from life's hectic schedules as well as constant stress at work.
So I am not going to be bringing my mobile phone along just in case anyone from my work place especially my NM decides to bother me with her countless of nonsense.
So peeps, don't miss me okie?


Verse from a song (Leaving On a Jet Plane):
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
‘cause i'm leavin' on a jet plane

The point is that oops... I SPENT $1000 dollars today! Wow! No wonder she called me tai tai. Now I know why. Must start saving again.

Down On Luck

Been down on luck recently... Few horrid things had happened at work.

However, the most severe is a matter that has been haunting me because of a ****ing NM. Just to save herself and her a$$ from being fried, she had force me to make false statements and reports, which I know ain't the right thing to do. But seriously, I had no choice, ultimately, she was a NM and I just a small nobody. Should not say what happened as it is a extremely long story. However, the guilt of making false statement just haunts me everyday. To make matters worst, the NM has to call to remind me to help cover up for her. Anyway, I already told the truth to my NM and to my ADN (Assistant Director of Nursing). I am not going to cover up for her as I feel I should be honest no matter what. It is just the right thing to do. Wow, I am such a backstabber! In front of her, I am just like a humble servant but unknown to her, I am not obeying to her instructions.

Ok, let's just divert our attention to something more uplifting for me. 4 months more before I lose my singlehood to a ROM certificate. Found myself the M.U.A (Make Up Artist) to do the make up and hair-styling for that day. Guess the next thing is just to wait for the date to do the e-filing for the ROM date. Hope to get the date Baku and I have been 'aiming' for otherwise we would be having the ROM outside with a J.P (Justice of Peace) and that would be more troublesome.

By the way, I think Baku would forget that it is also our 5 years and 8 months anniversary tomorrow. He always so unromantic one... *sigh* Really don't know how I can stand such unromantic guy...

Wish...

Went out Geraldine today and was at Compass Point. Seen many modern ah lians and ah bengs. That reminded me of myself when I was back in TPSS. Although I wasn't one of the ah lians but many people thought my behaviour was like them. Guess I was always too rough and the way I spoke made people thought I was an ah lian.
Anyway, we settled down at Starbucks for coffee and met a bunch of youngsters with a toddler. Geraldine and I were guessing if the toddler belongs to the young girl sitting next to her. After much guessing, we came to the topic of me being pregnant. Yeah, this the thought that stuck me. How I wish I was pregnant... I know many people may think I am mad. I still only 22 years old (coming 23) and I am wishing to be 'tied' down to having a baby of my own. However, I really do wish to experience motherhood. I know it would be easy from the start especially walking around with a bulging tummy, during labour time and bringing up the kid. But I still feel it is a good experience especially day by day when you see your kid finally being able to mouth out the words 'mummy' and 'daddy'.
Geraldine was making fun of me that if I am pregnant, I would be a slow coach and be extremely careful with whatever I do. I guess... that is somehow every pregnant mothers' behaviour and their way of showing how much they treasure the unborn life inside them.
Baku, always say we are still too young to bring up a child.. So looks like I got to wait until 3 or 5 years later before I am able to experience pregnancy and motherhood. Don't even know if I am fertile enough or not... *sigh*
