First and foremost, happy 52th birthday to Singapore! Nothing much plan for me today except chilling at home with my family.
So what have I been up to recently? Currently, I have 3 weeks break from school. Basically I'm just doing my essay, group assignment and online quiz. I'm pretty much done with my essay except doing APA referencing. I'm lazy a f. Other than that, I spent my days working as a freelance nurse. Damn, those long 12 hrs shift can die man. I'm super thankful that my senior consultant from CGH went an extra mile to email other hospital to get a job for me. What are the odds someone would do that for you?
Celebrated Hyung's birthday at Timbre with the clique last two Saturday. Then after we went to sing K at Katong mall. Slept for 3 hours and woke up to do 11 hrs shift. Man, that was a killer. Lesson learnt, do not go home too late if you have work the next day. /:
Hey yall! A current update about my life is that I'm starting school next week! Sounds funny but I'm really ecstatic for classes! First 2 days of my orientation were all about nursing research. What a way to start uni man! /: For sure I need to start my study momentum again and refresh my memory. Today is the day that I tendered my resignation letter. I'm definitely feeling bitter about it. But I've gotta do it all for my future. Keep striving, Jas! :D
Hey yall! Recently I went on a trip to Melbourne with Tivya! We spent a week over there. It was hella fun travelling just two of us. Since I packed my luggage at 5am on a Satuday morning, I wasnt much prepared for winter in Melbourne. I cried on my second night when I was heading to bed. I know it may seems funny but I'm a type of person that cant take cold. When the cold wind blew at me at the traffic junction, I shivered my ass off hoping to get home quickly. Thankfully, my awesome buddy Tivya lent me her heat tech top to layer when we go out.
At Changi Airport
Day 1:
We reached Melbourne airport on Sunday morning. I remembered it was freaking 13 degree. We took a skybus > Southern Cross station > Melbourne Central > lugging our luggage to find for our apartment. Pretty much laze at home and we met a white couple who stayed with us for 3 nights. It was a little awkward because we didn really talk much. We explored the city area and met up with Tivya's cousin's friend and his cousins.

Day 2:
Woke up at 4.30am to prepare ourselves as we are heading to Mount Buller. Met the rest of our tour mates at Federation square. Needless to say, it was snowing in the mountain. It was 0 degree. We didn ski but we played the toboggan and did snow angel. Hehe. Spent almost the whole day at Mount Buller and when the night fall, we went for a night walk around the CBD area.
Day 3:
Day 3 tour would be visiting Great Ocean Road and the 12 Apostles. Met a racist white dude from Sydney. He didn even bother talking to us during lunch time. What's funny is that he have an Asian girlfriend/wife. Tivya and I gave him a nickname called Mr "Know It All" because he likes to poke nose into other people business.
3 hours of sleep and puffy eyes from crying

Day 4:
We ended our last day tour with a wine tour and a trip to the chocolate factory. I was pretty much tipsy by the end of the tour. Haha. I love this tour so much because we met so many funny people. Tivya and I were in #teamwhite VS #teamasian in a Petanque game. The oldies in the group kept sabotaging me by telling the wine connoisseur that I love to drink red wine. When in actual fact, we were talking about shots.

Day 5:
We decided to sleep in and leave the house around 1pm because we were super tired from the other day tours. We headed to South Wharf to check out the duty free outlet. It suck that the malls in Aussie closes really early. ):

Day 6:
We went to Brighton Beach to take some pictures at the colourful bathing boxes. Headed back to DFO to get Tivya's MK watch and took some pictures at Eureka Skydeck 88. We went to the Casino at night to try our luck again and party at their club.
Sending postcards to each other.
Party!
Chilling at home.
Day 7:
Once we got home from party, I took a nap for an hour and we started packing our luggage. Thankfully, my luggage was not overloaded but Tivya's luggage was. Hahaha. We had breakfast at the airport and took a flight back to SG. I was tired as hell that I looked like I was high on weed. And that concludes my trip with Tivya! :D
Right now, I'm down with a gastric attack. My tummy has been feeling queasy since the time I was in Melbourne. Hopefully, the pain would subside soon.. ):
I dont know why as each year passed, I'm getting lazier to prepare myself for CNY. The whole time I was wearing my PJs at my Grandpa house. I guess if you have a small family, you dont have much house visiting to do? I'm just like lazying in bed all day and night. Furthermore, everyone in my family was falling ill. We did not manage to have a reunion dinner as a complete family. That really saddens me. Anyway, I will be back to work tomorrow. I've started assisting the doctors last week. To be honest, I'm really very nervous as assisting in the scope room is a brand new experience to me. But like what my colleagues said, I have to learn how to adapt fast and take every scolding as a pinch of salt. I feel thankful for the encouragement and motivation from my colleagues. They pushed me to work even harder than before.

Partied with hyung's navy friends last Saturday. Terrible hyung was so drunk after the alcohol buffet with his friends left me and Yuting to enjoy our night by ourselves. Saw C that night but I wondered why does he treats me like a stranger? I thought I always meant something to him, but I guess it's just my wishful thinking. Haha. Sometimes, I gotta learn to stop being dumb.

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
The bunch of awesome colleagues who are always there to lend me a helping hand whenever I'm in doubt. Random fact: I love the colour of our Endo scrub! :D
Happy birthday Shannon!
Attended Shannon's 21st birthday at Aranda Country Club after work last Saturday. I felt so bad because I could not stay overnight to help her with the decoration of the venue. And also, I caught a bad infection recently. Still in a mid of recovering process. Anyway, I met up with my girls today for lunch as Shini is heading to Perth to further her studies. Oh man, I'm so gonna miss her. ):

After lunch, I headed to Tangs Vivo to buy the Nixon watch that I wanted. But guess what? It was sold out and I didn know that they only have one stock for each watch. Damn, I was so infuriated. I should have reserve it. The Tangs sales associate told me that I need to wait till 3-6 months before they order a new batch but that depends on the supplier also. Argh. I really love that watch so much. ): Such a wasted trip only to know that someone else was slightly faster than me. Daddy Yeo knew I was upset so he accompanied me to hunt for my Nixon watch. Sadly, the store in ION and Tangs Orchard also don't have the watch I wanted. In the very end, we went to the Michael Kors store and gotten a watch that I like. So basically, its an early birthday gift from my Dad and Brother. :D
Rose Gold Chain with Red dial
This was the watch I was contemplating to get in my previous post because it is way too pricey and the chain was in gold colour which does not really suits me well. Luckily, I found it in rose gold with the similar red dial which totally suits my skin tone like what the MK sales associate recommended. Not to mention, his service is excellent. But I forget to ask for his name as I was way too happy with my buy! /: I remembered his face, because he is always the one attending to my enquiries whenever I head to the MK store at Scotts Road.
Finally, this is the day I have been waiting for! Jasmine have officially graduated from NP. Oh my god! These 3 years have been tough. Wouldn get by without my lovely girls and LTB. I'm so touched to know that Cheryl, Crystal and Alvin sat in during my graduation. If not, my 2 graduation tickets would go to waste since my parents are unable to make it. Felt good to hear people screamed for you when you are on stage. Hahah. Reality checked, I'm back to work today and I went to my department for the first time. Everyone was friendly and nice to me. It might not be the department that I want to work in the long run. But I would do my utmost best in this 1 year. Who knows my perspective might change when it's time to get down to real business? I cant wait for my probation to be over and get to assist the reg/consultant during procedure. :D Also, I saw my fave doctor at my workplace today and he talked to me. *screams*
