Took a half day off from work to doll up for Ken's OCS social night event. Big shoutout to Cheryl and Crystal for being such sweet ladies to help me fix my hair around 4pm over at my place. I was extremely happy when Ken presented me with the flowers. Hehe. The whole event he really made me feel comfortable despite I was feeling hella awkward with the people at my table. This shows that I need to socialize more often to extend my social circle and be more open-minded during events. In conclusion, I did enjoyed myself as the night passes.

So we were working half day today, which after I met my Endo ladies for high tea buffet at Fullerton Bay Hotel. The food were scrumptious. I met Ken in the evening to watch horror movie and went to celebrate X'mas eve with my ladies at Attica which is hella impromptu.
2 weeks of my annual leave has ended. Its time to head back to work tomorrow despite I've already went back to work yesterday. For the first week of my annual leave, I went to Thailand to visit my grandmother. I've received such a warm welcome from my relatives. They tried to make me feel at home which I find it was sweet as I'm quite a fussy and whiny person. I have traveled to different province of Thailand such as Udon Thani and Nong Khai which is about an hour car ride from my mum's hometown Khon Kaen.

So we flew back to Bangkok on Wednesday morning and Edward joined us on Thursday morning. During that period, there was BKK fashion week at Siam paragon and I was randomly interviewed by someone. On Friday evening, I met up with Brook for dinner at Central plaza Ladprao. As we chat, I realised we had so much things in common. I thanked him for forking out some time to meet me after his work. Also, he was being such a sweet guy for calling me every night when I was in Bangkok. Then on Saturday, we headed to Ayutthaya to visit the temples and went on an elephant ride. During the road trip, I had bad motion sickness. I was feeling super terrible that I kept puking when I reached home. We flew back to SG on Sunday night. This whole trip is a total whole experience for me as most of the times I'm living in a kampong area.
Slept for only 2 hours last Friday as I was way too excited checking out flight tickets and hotel for my trip to Thailand with my parents! I have decided to spend my annual leave visiting my mum's family for a week. Just nice the week that I'm flying off, it would be the end of my probation. Omg, I can't wait to get confirm as an independent staff nurse! And yes, another good news would be that I will be working in the scope room in November! That's hella fast because I remembered my NM told me that I will be working in the scope room next year! I'm so damn nervous but it will be a good learning opportunity for me! :D
I was nearly late for work yesterday because I was dreaming that I'm assisting a procedure and that my consultant kept scolding me for being late. And indeed, reality hits me. I was in a mad rush preparing for work. Heck the makeup and wore slippers to work. Thankfully, I arrived for work just nice on time. /: Went home to take a 2 hours nap and woke up to prep myself for Lesean's 21st birthday.
Happy 21st birthday Lesean!

Travelled from Bukit Batok to Pasir Ris and I was dead asleep on the couch till the next morning. I spent my relaxing Sunday cleaning up my room. And for sure, my mood gets better too. :D
Celebrated Alvin's 24th birthday at Shabu Sai at Clarke Quay last Wednesday! Then after I met up with Claire and we were walking all around town the whole night. Around 2.30am, we met up with Sahin at MBS and we went to Ce La Vi to party during the last hour of closing. I would rate the club 3/5 only for the scenery. The crowd seem to be 30+ years old and above with oldies song playing when I was a teen. The prices of the drinks are relatively reasonable. Sadly, that night the haze was so bad. Such a waste for not having an amazing night view. ):
Last Sunday, I went on a day trip to JB with my colleagues. We had lunch together and went for a mini shopping session. Omg, I think I have a post withdrawal syndrome of our JB outing. /; This week, I'm gonna be placed at the counter. Feeling a little stressed as I felt like I'm very slow at work. ): Practice makes perfect. I know I can do this! :D
It was my day off last Saturday and I decided to meet up with Claire at HV. Just nice her nephews are staying over the weekends and I always hoped that one day I could meet them and that day was it! I cant believe the reaction that Seth gave me when he first saw me! He ran towards me and hugged me till both of us fell on the floor. We brought him to Hatched cafe for dinner and daily scoop for ice-cream. It's a pity that I didn't really hangout much with Toby. They are so adorable and I cant wait to see them the next time! After we brought him home, Claire and I went to Esplanade to chill. Yes to getting her hooked on Chicharon. Hahaha. Anyway, I'm feeling super relieved for completing my competency checklist for IVAM, cannulation and venipuncture just before my due date. Next up would be passing my probation. I also got to meet up with my nursing colleagues for dinner recently. I'm thankful that they were there for me to hear my rants. I really hate to be involved in work politics. ):
Last Saturday, I celebrated my 21st with the clique at Beer Market. I love the environment there. Thanks to Adrian who suggested the place. Not forgetting there was a live band and the guitarist is good looking. Hahaha. So awkward when the singer sang a birthday song for me and everyone mistook Alvin as my boyfriend as he came walking towards me holding a birthday cake. After which, we went to China One for alcohol buffet. I drank way too much that the last thing I remembered was entering F.club and that's it. I totally have no recollection of what happened that night. I knew I vomited twice on Alvin's hand because his fingers was in my mouth. I felt so bad to Alvin as I felt like he was my nanny babysitting me the entire night. Had a bad hangover on Sunday morning. When I checked my text inbox, I didn know that I was drunk texting many people. I regretted it for sure. I felt hurt by what someone said. I could not even concentrate today at work. If this was the hurt you felt back then, I apologised because karma is hitting back at me. My only intention was to catch up with you. Nothing more else than that. And if this is what you really think of me, I have no say. I wanted to explain myself, but I don't think you wanna hear them either. All I can is sorry. Don't worry, I will not bother you anymore. If only I can delete every single memories of you, then maybe the guilt within me would lessen.
Hey hey hey! Your home girl has turned 21 years old last Saturday. Sad that I was working and doing OT on that day. But know what? Work is still work and I cant ditch my duty just because it's my birthday. So I had dinner with my family at BRH. Aunt cecilia whipped up some of my fave dishes especially fried foods! I was a little sad because I didn blow candles or eat a cake on my actual birthday. But that's okay. Most importantly, birthday wishes and gifts still keeps coming in. The happiest thing for me is that despite my friends are all around the world, they did not forget to wish me happy birthday. Except for this important person that I have been waiting for darn long and he totally forgotten about my birthday. Argh. /: Now that I have joined the legal club, I better start planning for my future. There are so many things for me to accomplish and I cant wait to start on them! :D
Finally, its TGIF! No work tomorrow means I can sleep in a little longer! I'm on cloud nine because I passed my medicine theory test and assessment! I cant wait to get over with my competency checklist for IVAM. I wanna thank my girl Claire for accompanying me to mug for my paper last Saturday evening. I always felt apologetic to her because I always fall asleep in the noon when I'm suppose to meet her on our planned date.

Went for my monthly dental appointment and this time it hurts so bad. Firstly, I had a tough time trying to hook em rubber bands on my braces. Secondly, the metal parts on my inner teeth is rubbing against my tongue. All I feel like is to keep my mouth shut and sleep. ):
Went on a shopping spree at Watsons after my medicine course. I love the voice of the Principal Pharmacist when he gave his presentation. The way how he pronounced and explained about the medicine makes me in awe. Lucky me that the items I got were mostly on sale. Especially the eye masks and interdental brushes. I immediately copped the last few remaining on the shelf.

Happy 21st birthday Hyungie! You have been such an amazing friend to me for these past 8 years. I really do appreciate the times you spent with me. Especially being my late night supper friend and driving me to town in our pyjamas at late night. I adore how silly and funny you are. Thank you for being my travel buddy too and consistently watching over me. No words can express my love for you. Bisous *
