Alright, i have to admit. I'm grateful for all those pesky, irritating ICAs and presentations i had to do in poly. Because it's helping me alot in my preparation for the child health education talk i'm gonna do. I'm feeling a little panicky now, i know, it's not like the kids are gonna grade me. But i'm STILL panicking! Hopefully what both me and nana come out with, our presentation will be interesting. If only my honey, Serene Low, the early childhood education teacher is coming along.. Oh, but nevertheless i can't wait to be there in Thailand! Can't wait to see all the kids. (:


And thanks cheryl, i absolutely loved what you did to the photo (:

Was looking through old pictures, sorting them out actually, and i can't help but smile as the memories all flood back. That's the beauty of taking photos, because we're not just taking pictures of faces, but capturing the moment too.

Here's some.

the original/"old" Misait girls (:

dance item, year 2005 (:

new team (:

second liner's girls.

a super super super old picture, probably taken in 2001-2002!

this one was in 2004.(:

chris and nana (:

haha, and above are my beloved drawings done when the three of us (me, chris and nana) were preparing for the mission trip to Philippines in 2006. Im super proud of these okay, finally drawings of men really did look like men. Imagine not being an experienced artist but having to draw out pictures/scenes with two people especially christian russel b. dela cruz, commenting "eh, why your guy look like a girl?"

You Are Right Brained In Love

Bit of a drama queen Peacemaker, first to end a fight Good at thinking up creative dates Tend to fall in love and get hurt easily Going with your gut instead of your head Empathetic and caring, sometimes to a fault Good at recognizing patterns in relationships Been in love many times, perhaps too many to count Wildly passionate and intense when falling in love Spontaneous with relationships, going with the flow Overly visual - can play back past dates like movies in your mind Roses, love poems, and stuffed animals are a good start to winning your heart

Are You a Right Brained or Left Brained Woman in Love?

If your wondering, yeap, what's written above is mostly true. Went out with Chris and J.K. today and spent hours in SKS bookshop. At one time the three of us just sat on the stools provided by the kind owner/bookshopkeeper. A great comfort for tired legs, especially if your there with J.K. (: Anyway, the reason why i'm typing all this is because girls, if Chris ever ask you about the "list" that you've made - a list of the characteristics your potential boyfriend/husband should have or what you're looking for in a guy, don't tell Chris!!! You'll regret it immediately.

Anyway, my trips to Thailand and Philippines will be from 22nd Feb-29th Feb and 16th March-26th March respectively. Dad told me that i've got to prepare 2 sessions, each an hour to two hours worth, of health education for the children in Maesot/Thailand! And from what i know of the children centre there is that there's so many of them! How am i gonna teach? No, what exactly am i gonna teach them?!

I now feel like im back in school, doing one of those irritating ICAs... except that this time round i'm actually gonna present and teach the kids. Thank God i've got Nana (: , i can't imagine preparing, brainstorming and presenting all on my own!

changed.

HO HO HO. nana, your love, was here(:
changed sammie's url already.

quick, thank me! xP haha.

eastcoast. (:

Picnic on tuesday with few of the ward staff and us students was a blast. The surprise party for Diana went smoothly.Cycling was great. Tried the twin bike for the first time and loved riding it(those two seater bikes). Partnered with Min first, cycled till our bums hurt. We probably rode fast 'cause we lost Kak Su, Siti and Nat.
After resting awhile, we decided to cycle again, this time Nat wanted to partner Min and seat at the front seat (i still laugh when i recall how the two of them were struggling, especially Min, he seemed not to know when he should start cycling). We made it into a competition later on, see which "team" cycles the fastest. Kak Su (she took the single bike) couldn't be bothered with us.

Lessons learnt:

• DO NOT put Adidas Fruity Fragrance on you to East Coast cos' it won't attract hunks, only flies. (poor Nisa)
• If you choose to ride the two seater bikes and Nat's your partner, let her seat at the back (: (hahaha, the lovely lady was hilarious!)
• DO NOT share creepy stories of the ward when its dark. East Coast at night is already creepy enough.

waiting for the group photos now.

Watched "Sweeney Todd" (no. 1 of wish list checked) yesterday with Kak Su, Siti and Muhaimin (that's him there; the hottest guy in the ward, haha).

The show's quite good, pretty gory actually, it made killing look so easy. The tunes are addictive but not in the saccharine, head-bobbing, thumb-snapping, smiles-all-wide way. Unlike the other musical, "Hairspray", where they can sing all they want, you just hum along without listening to the words at all and still get/understand the show, in "Sweeney Todd" you need to listen really carefully. Because the words in the songs carries more depth, more angst, feelings, crucial in the show. Not just another dance number.

So, although the songs in "Sweeney" were intriguing and captivating, its not a wonder why i can't remember how most of the songs goes now except for a line or two.

Dance numbers, like the songs in "Hairspray" are the ones that always stay in my head for days, are not those type of songs easier to catch?

Anyway, i've always liked Johnny Depp, but this show made me love his voice too. (:

Also watched "The Mist" based on an adaptation by Stephen King, on friday with some of the classmates. Another good show, because you feel for the characters, you get pissed along with them, and when they've lost hope, you feel the same too.

My only grouse is the ending. Heart wrenching, but typical.

The whole theatre was quiet, a few gasps. The credits came, heard the girl behind say "So sad", turned to Siti (another Siti - my class's Siti) and the first thing she said was "I don't wanna talk about the show. Okay, forget it. Forget it" with her fingers on her temples, shaking her head.

When it comes to the last day of anything - school, work, camps.. there's bound to be lots of photo-taking thus lots of pictures.
Finished my 3 months of PRCP. And it's the first day of my holidays today. Holidays until i get a job.

Finally, after such a long, long, long time. I get to wake up at 12pm today.

the outing with Kak Su last week.

Pictures taken on our supposedly "last day" in the hospital. Lay Hoon organized activities for us to do:

a consolidation and making a card for our wards.
Our card looked like it was made by primary school kids, but we still loved it anyway.

From left to right - Peter, Nat, Me, Siti, Mei Yi, Nisah, Nang Hlaing.

pictures in the ward:

pictures with doctors =) :

with the cute dr. leong.

and with sweet dr.yan.

i enjoyed working in that ward, really did. The fellow student nurses (the NYP and the 2 NP students) all made my days. Patients were hilarious and the ward staffs were great!

I'm certain that i'll miss the people, working with them, making sure all our patients were alright and the plans for them were carried out. Maybe that's probably just gonna be the only thing why i'm gonna miss PRCP, the relationships i've made.
