yeah! i bought a new lappy last saturday. bought acer again.. =.= actually dun wan to buy acer de, but i saw the specs quite good. and the promoter said for computers, brands doesnt matter, because for every brand, they're using the same processor etc... it's a matter of heng/suay.. u heng, ur computer will last longer, if u suay, den it will breakdown very quickly.. O_O

but so far the acer i used previously is quite ok.. i have been using it for 4yrs (going 5) already. i bought a new one because i couldnt find my xp home edition recovery cd. i only have xp pro recovery, which wont copy some of the files upon recovery. and i tried recovering it back to vista, because this laptop was the first batch of windows vista. but the nxt day it became so laggy. as the ram is only 1GB (4yrs ago the highest ram was only 1GB), some more it's windows vista, which makes it even more laggy. it took me so long juz to start up the computer.

i havent been using much since i bought it. cos i was backing up, and i used up total of 7 dvds juz to backup everything! 3 dvds for Recovery, 1 dvd for Drivers and Applications, and another 3 for other files... O_O

i suddenly feel like playing Sims 3 all over again! it had been quite a while since i stopped playing it. but now my comp is too laggy, maybe i'll find a day to reformat my comp and install Sims 3 again. haha.. ^^

i cant slp.. i really cant slp now... i noe i shouldnt be thinking so much.. i should leave everything to God. i really need to pray for my Family, especially my dad... because of the pain in his leg, it really affected him alot.

He has to cycle to the carpark every morning, cos the carpark is rather far from our hse, and he told me a few days ago he almost lost his life because of the pain. he escaped THREE times of danger. Firstly, he cant control his bike when his leg hurt suddenly while he was cycling, and result him in cycling towards the field, and couldnt brake because it was muddy, but in the end he still managed to brake. after tat he continued to cycle. he told me he wanted to cross the road, cos normally early in the morning that road will not have any car, and he will juz accelerate his bike and cross the road without looking. but for tat particular day, there was a car speeding, and he was riding his bike as normal, preparing to accelerate and cross the road, but he made a swift turn when he saw the car speeding towards him, as he didnt managed to brake on time. he said if he hadnt make that swift turn, he might end up flying off. i was so shocked upon listening to him saying this! i really cant imagine wat will become of me if this really happen.. TT___TT and one more thing, it was when he was driving along the slope, he almost got a car accident... but still managed to escape it. ALL because of the pain in his leg!!

Thinking abt all these really make me feel uneasy.. today my dad lost his bunch of keys. He forget abt the keys after he used them to open the door, he juz left the keys there and drove it off juz like tat.. O_O and those keys are important. after my Korean class, i went to find my dad. and i asked him to drive back to the places he went before. Sorta tracking-back. But when he drove until Bukit Gombak area, he went to work first le, cos he was running late. after tat, we went to pick up my mum. and he continued to drive to where we last stopped. He saw the keys on the floor along CCK road! but they were already crushed and bent. Thank God, we already duplicated some of the keys le.

I really hope my dad will be better. I asked him to go see doctor regarding his leg, cos it was on-and-off kinda thing. He couldnt concentrate well because of the pain, and it can be very dangerous especially when he's driving or cycling. he said he's better now, but i wouldnt noe when will it come again. maybe nxt time it will be worse. i really need to pray hard to my Almighty God. hope He will heal my dad's leg and thank God for saving his life several times.. TT___TT

i juz bought a korean novel titled "달콤한 나의 도시" today. it costs $25, and fully in hangul (that's wat i've been looking for for a long time)!! but i tink it's worth it, cos it has got a total of 442 pages! hehe. i haven watch this drama yet, but i tink it's quite nice.

i always wanted to buy a korean novel fully in hangul cos i wanted to train myself to read them, and check the meaning of each sentence. i noe i will take a very long time to finish this whole book, maybe abt 1 yr? cos there are 9 chapters in this book, and if i take 1-2 months to fully understand each chapter.. =X

if i cant understand, maybe i will watch the drama and at the same time reading this book, so at least i will be able to visualize the scenario. xD

I'm really into pokemon now! even playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon i will cry! i noe i'm being too exaggerating. nobody will play a game until they cry (except when they are too fed up that they cant get to another level of the game). i supposed i'm the first one ya? LOL! juz because the storyline is simply too touching!

Who says pokemon is just for kids? I personally think Pokemon is about Friendship. I cherish Friendship more than anything (but of course Family is more important). I mean besides Family, Friends are my 2nd important parts of my life! So i get sensitive easily when i'm watching something related to Friendship. That's why i dun desire so much on Love.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is really abt Friendship. It's abt how the 2 partners first met, going through all the hardships together, saved the future by changing the past, in the end one of them had to disappear juz because he comes from the future, despite knowing he will disappear if he changes it. Imagine the other person only come to noe abt this fact after they finished their mission. It will be too late, cos his best buddy, the one who was always by his side, supporting him, going through all the hardships with him, will be disappearing right after this mission. This really touches me deep in my heart. Nobody in this world will be so noble to even sacrifice himself to make the future a better world. I noe this is juz fantasy, but fantasizing isnt a bad thing, right?

I've been asking myself why do i love Pokemon so much. And when i thought of it.. yes.. Pokemon was the very first anime that makes me cry after watching the movie.. Almost EVERY pokemon movie makes me cry! Amazing eh? xD

I've watched the latest episode of Pokemon DP Galactic Battles (The Battle Finale Of Legend!). Cynthia, the pokemon champion in Sinnoh region, nv fail to amaze me by her inspirational quotes. In the latest episode, towards the ending part, she said "Because there is sadness, we cherish happiness. And because there is anger, kindness is born." In the earlier episodes of Pokemon DP, she oso said another inspirational quotes: When every life meets another life, something will be born. I could nv forget abt this... The "something" can mean alot of things, depending on how we relate the "life" to. Inspiring isnt it? ^^

i went for a haircut yesterday. and i almost fall asleep while my hair was being cut halfway through. =.=

today went to work. the first thing Qifen saw me: u cut ur hair? lol..

and there was this doc, i was sitting in front of him looking through the microscope, and he oso asked the same qn.. i tot he wont notice, cos today was only the 3rd day we met.

yes, today was only the 3rd day we met, and he was asking me to join him for lunch. i said i always buy back to eat at the pantry de, but he still asked me to join him for lunch. den i was like.. ok.. come back so early oso nth to do. haha..

so we went to buy our lunch. i asked whether he wan to use my staff card anot, he said he oso got this card, cos he worked here b4, and he asked me to use his, but i said i got it too. he said he wanted to treat me. i said no need. i feel that it's so weird, we're not even close, it's only the 3rd day we met. somemore he's a doctor, and i'm juz a normal staff. it wont be nice for him to treat me.

he ordered his first, cos i was still thinking wat veggie to choose. haha. and when i looked up, he was gone, i tink he was probably topping up his kopitiam card. haha. so i told the uncle "pay together". after that, he came back, giving uncle his card and he said "pay together". den the uncle passed me back my card and told him, "already paid together le". LOL! he was so shocked and asked me how much, but i said dunno. den he asked what i wanna drink, i said i dun drink. and he insisted on buying drinks for me.. ok.. i've no choice but to say anything, cos i really dunno wat to drink.. =.=

when i was in the bus on my way back home, there was this guy sitting nxt to me. he was sleeping. and his sleeping position was exceptionally different from others. normally when ppl slp, at most their head will only touch the person's shoulder nxt to them. but for this particular guy, his head was lying on my LAP instead. zzz... dun wanna embarrass him in front of other ppl, so i nv wake him up. anyways, he oso will wake up occasionally, sleeps again, and head on my LAP again.. this cycle goes on and on until we alighted at the SAME stop. =.=

i'm so tired! finally, there will not be any micro-courses nxt week, cos nxt week's micro-course will be postponed. there were courses going on for the past 5 weeks ever since i came back from Taiwan! normally we're only having courses once/twice a month, now it's like having courses for 2 months non-stop! i cant even find a space to breathe! i've set myself a schedule that every morning i MUST reach my workplace at 7am to eat, and by 7:30am, i need to be back from NUS with the rats. cos dunno why the anaesthesia wont work well on them. last time it only took 2-5min for the rats to knock-out, but this time it took 45min-1hr! with multiple injections somemore! i was so afraid that even coming to work so early, i still might not be able to prepare everything before the doctors come, juz bcos of the rats! haiz..

finally nxt week onwards i can practise on rats by myself! i really need to prepare for my tests! these include: end-to-end(artery & vein), vein graft, end-to-side! i need to get at least a B! i need to stitch better than the previous times! seeing other doctors stitching motivates me even more! Hwaiting! ^^

yesterday we went to singapore science centre to celebrate xy's bday. it had been so long since i last visited that place! haha.

we went to have our lunch at mcdonald's, den walked to the ticketing booth and fern came. so we bought the tickets together.

initially we wanted to buy the science centre + pixar exhibition tix, but it was too ex, so we only bought the science centre tix.

it was far better than wat we thought! i rmb the last time i went there, there was nth at all! but yesterday we went, we stayed there until it closed, and we were only starting to explore the 2nd level!

i tink we spent most of the time waiting for the chicken egg to crack. it was the first time i actually saw from a complete egg, cracking into a cute chick! ^^

another station we like best was the recording room. there are videos with some dialogue, and we have to make sound effect using the props given in the room. interesting!!! haha...

when we went up to level 2, we tried the "heartbeat machine". all we have to do was to put both our hands onto the handle, and the drum will beat according to our heartbeat. when i held the handle with both of my hands, the drum started to beat unusually and stopped occasionally. this shows that my heartbeat was unusual! i took off, and held the handle again. this time, the drum beat constantly and slowly, and it really beat like metronome! LOL! huahua den held the handle with her hands, it was beating extremely fast, and she took off her hands. haha! and xy put hers, the heartbeat was unusual. i put mine again, it was still beating constantly. cm said she wanted to try, and when she put her hands onto the handle, it beat a while and stopped. and den we realized they shut down the machine le.. =.=

we headed down to level 1. yt and fern went off first, and left only hua, cm, xy, phy and i. actually we wanted to eat Sakura as our dinner, but full-house, so we were in the waiting list. there were 3 waiting list before us. so we waited..... until we became hungry, we dun wan to wait anymore. we walked out of science centre and took bus 178 to JP. juz when we boarded the bus, the person from Sakura called and said we can go in le, but we said we left the place already. zzz...

we had Pepper Lunch for our dinner at JP. the queue is long, so we need to wait again.. =.= it was the first time i ate Pepper Lunch. everytime i pass by Pepper Lunch resto, i cannot stand the smell of pepper. but still i decided to try it. It was quite nice.. and we ate until very full! haha.

after eating, we chatted in the resto. we chatted abt Korean bands! haha. cos the tv in the resto was playing Korean MTVs. ^^

after tat we went home le, cos it was getting late, and each of us need to wake up early for work the nxt day.

recently i came across a Korean publisher, Guiyeoni, who published sad romance Korean novels. she was quite young only! it reminds me of Low Kay Hwa. i love his novels juz like hers! even though i haven read her novels yet, i can sense that the style was quite similar! they're so amazing! because both of them started to write stories when they were young! O_O

i wanted to get 2 of her novels; That Guy Was Splendid & To My Boyfriend! although i dun understand Korean yet, i always wanted to get Korean novels and try to read them. if i dun understand i can refer to the dictionary i bought that time. hehe.. maybe i shall juz look for the ebooks of these novels first. if really cannot find den i will buy the books ba... :/

this is the vid link for "He Was Cool (That Guy Was Splendid)": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfG5oFF_UvA

wow. i realized that my colleagues from hand dept stay around cck area only! sandra stays at cck, qifen stays at yew tee, i stay at cck too!

den yesterday dr raj said he stays at yew tee! and dr ing tuan asked how come we all like choa chu kang so much. haha. and dr raj asked where he stay, he said around yio chu kang area. when i heard it, i was like LOL? not choa chu kang, at least got "chu kang". haha! xD

alrights! i'm going out to eat with my bro le, den going to korean class le! so excited abt it! maybe i will ask abt the Aikido class after my korean class ended. hehe...

So happy! Finally I'm going to start Korean class on this coming Saturday! =D

I've been self-studying for months before I actually registered for the class. Cos I'm afraid that I might not be able to catch up with the class. Now at least I can recognize some Korean symbols. When I'm outside, I will look for some Korean words (anywhere) delibrately and try to read the words. I will be so elated when I'm able to read them! ^^

I've also put 260 Korean songs into my Sony Ericsson hp, with only 1GB of memory! But the songs only occupied 905mb, so I can still look for some more Korean songs! Now my Sony Ericsson has become my "mp3", and my Samsung is my "actual" handphone. xP

I also bought a Korean dictionary a few weeks ago. Actually I've been aiming for that dictionary for very long le. But nv buy, cos too ex.. And there is a reason to why I actually bought that dictionary! haha! Well, 2 weeks ago when I was waiting for huahua, cm, xy and phy at Kinokuniya, den I was listening to the songs in my hp (as usual), and juz nice i came across this dictionary. I couldnt help but to pick it up and randomly turned to a page, and the first word I saw was "hangsang", and that very moment, the song was singing the exact same word! So I've decided to buy that dictionary le!

I've bought 3 Korean books in total from Kinokuniya, and only 3 books, cost me more than $100! But I tink it was worth it. :)

And once I've master Korean Language, I will try to compose a Korean song. I noe this is challenging, but I really wanted to try it, even if it takes years. haehae...

Cant wait for my Korean class!! 2 more days!! ^^ I might consider learning Aikido at the same time too. xD
