So here i am at 3 in the morning trying to find something to blog because i cant get to sleep.
And nope it is not because i'm a chronic insomnia!!

I guess i just find it really hard trying to sleep when one is having too much things in the mind- which is usually when one is at their weakest moment and of course being alone in the middle of the night doesnt help at all.

So what's my problem?

To be honest, i dont know as well. I am so frustated from waiting for my answer. Hated the agony of waiting to find out what is wrong and wondering what the hell is wrong with me!!


The truth is, i have been off sick from work for a week already.
Well, princess me with the princess skin has got like random red spots over my body. Ironically, the spots aint itchy at all. I know i should be glad about it or even thanks god for it, but the problem is that i do have like skin allergy problems in the past and this makes it really different from before!! Did i tell you my skin will be allergic to plastic bags? hahah. Princess skin i know.. Therefore it's a headache wondering if it's a reaction to something or a viral infection from the cold i had before.

some of the spots on the leg.


for now, solugel is my best friend. Princess's skin cant afford to have scars! lol.

And even 2 blood test ruled out and double confirm that i am not having chicken pox(which makes me a lil worried now that i wonder when i will get it then).




Seen 2 Gps already to give me a second opinion just to be kiasu. But yet none of them could give me a definite answer despite spenting so much on them. At this point i could tell you i really hate their health care system over here for me now! I mean it's so hard to see a GP already and i wont even want to try thinking about seeing a specialist on an Easter long weekend!!
If only i am back home, i would have admitted myself to TTSH hahaha. And seriously, i can tell you it's only when one is sick and needed some love and care that one will misses home alot and wishes the parents could take care of her and attend to her.


Thankfully, my hospital's infection control department has been such a huge help that they decided to put me off another week. So yayyy, that's 2 weeks bonus break for me even though i know i am perfectly fit to go back to work. Well they are just trying to protect my rash from being infected again in the ward. At least it's nice of them trying to figure out what is wrong with me. haha. Getting the pathologist to do swabs on me and test me out under the instruction of their microbiologist and even offered the mirco dr to see me. Oh well, what a scene man!! Just cant wait to get it over and done with!
PS:
Pray for me that i will get better and yayyyy now what am i gonna do till next week?
Alright guess i should sleep already!

Me and Kel decided to take a stroll around our neighbourhood after the storm.

(Yesh i know i'm a bit late for this post but that doesnt matter. haha.)





Cant imagine how much damage the storm has done! (Considering that our area was not badly affected in the first place and there were worst in some places).







That image in my head is something that i will most probably remember for the rest of my life.


From the moment we stepped outside our house and seeing our front garden... It's like that particular bushes and plants isnt on that usual spot anymore and the whole lawn looked so empty now.


That walk on our usual path to the local deli was so different as well.
Walking past the streets with debris everywhere, seeing some of the neighbours' garden in destruction and the cars that have being hit by the hail with so many dents on them, families chatting at the front lawn about the storm that has happened and the dads chopping up the fallen trees, repairing the fences that have been damaged.





Woah, one thing i did learnt is to never underestimate mother nature's power!
Well i mean, Singapore is fortunate enough not to have any natural disaster at all. It's just an incredible feeling to know that you have survived a storm unharmed and the sense of righteous to rebuild your community or to help those that is hurt is just so strong! It's like before i can never relate to those people that you watch in front of the tv being affected by like the tsunami, earthquakes, bushfires etc. You kind of just take pity on them and pray in your heart that you are so fortunate compared to others. But now i know what an ordeal it must have been for them to go through and rebuild their lives.


Dont you think we humans are indeed just so vulnerable??
I guess it's time to reflect on ourselves and rethink through our priorty in life.
After all, what's the point of these greed and wealth and the never ending social status and power in this materalistic world when who knows, we might not even survive the next disaster??
Time to seek peace and harmony in this troubled enough world already i reckon!!


WORLD PEACE!!!

Hails to all the scientists who discovered electricity!!!



As you might heard, Perth has been struck by a devastating storm.
Thanks god i was at home when it all happened.
But it was definitely one of the scariest experience in my life when i was out at the patio trying to clean up the mess the rain did.
i have never seen that much lightning and experience that huge gushing wind and heavy downpour in my life before!!!!!


It was only through this morning newspaper did i saw how huge the hailstones was ( golf-sized), and the floods and landslide.
And i thought we were the only one badly affected without power supply for a day!! haha.






Seriously it was the longest blackout i ever experienced.
24hours man!!!!!!



And we even bought extra candles thinking that the power might not be back till tomorrow.
But guess not anymore, i am online!!!! hahaha.
Cant tell you how great it felt to have power back in your life!!!


All the things you can do with it:
Charge all your electrical appliances to full batt.
watch the tv.
listen to your favourite songs on your laptop and PPStream as much.
cook the rice.
use the microwave to make your favourite cup of tea.
turn the lights on to see what you doing and of course to have them on in the bathroom.
turn the aircon on.
wash your clothes with the washing machine.
use the fridge and freezer to keep things cold.
dont have to manually use all your life energy to pull the garage door open.
and of course be online and use the phone!!!!!


Yayyy for electricity!!!!!!

You dont usually see me blog about my relationship because i wonder what's the point?
You know when everyone is different and everyone has their own side to things.
Importantly, you can never understand how I feel and imagine what I have went through.
So it makes it really hard to be understood and communicate sometimes.



But you know what, i am really struggling to be heard now.
Sighz.

What lies beneath? hahaha.








It's really shocking sometimes what you find under your bed! Hahah.
The good thing is i have finally cleaned my mess in my room!




Have been a busy week back at work and catching up with the girls.




Finally meet my grad and OMG, can't believed they have so much paper works to complete compared to my graduate year. It's giving me a hard time trying to finish off her paper work! haha.






So much work to do at work this year, Quality portfolio holder, coordinator courses and Yayyyy finishing off my 3rd year graduate programe!! Not to mention trying to find time to finish off at least 1 quality project, having a grad for 6 months and yesh doing all the paperwork and also the countless students that are following you!! Omg i dont think i would even want to try to think about furthering my studies for now!!



So yesh, looking back i think i have achieved a lil step in my career.


I always felt that 3 years into a job is a best time to reflect on yourself and think about your future and of course seek for better job opportunities and job satisifation. It is like putting your very first benchmark on something!!


And so far i guess the one absolute thing that i love about my job is the socialising circle!! Well, office politics are unavoidable, but it still cant beat the feeling of going to work and hugging your best mates and of course slacking off work to catch up!!
The truth is that well i was feeling really run down when i came back to Perth from Singapore. The thought of me having another 2 days off after my return sounds like a bliss but i did not enjoy any part of it. It was only when i returned to work and OMG, it was so good to be back! Back to the ward where you are welcomed back like a superstar (ok, abit too much here! haha), but yesh it felt really warm in the heart!







Me and the girls went to yum cha last week:












You know, there might come a day when they are no longer my working collegues (it seems like there is a huge trend in staffs leaving our ward one after another!) but i think they have already left a place in my heart. It seems like finally after my 3rd year here, i am able to treat this place like a home, a place where i know i have people that cared for me, shelter me and support me.
But of course i still miss my homies in Singapore lah!!!!!
OMG, we should so celebrate our decade-long friendship!!!! Cheers!!!

I reckon the joy in life, lies with the enjoyment of the simplest things- Food!!


Seriously, it felt like this whole trip back to Singapore is about eating and eating and MORE EATING! Haha.

So 3 weeks in Singapore is gone just like that!! Time is definitely flying when you are having fun! Sorry once again to those that I did not meet and those that I haven’t got enough time to meet you guys more! Blame me for being selfish, but this time round I just want to spend more time with my family. Please do understand alright!



Alright, so I finally got to spend CNY with my family after being away for 3 years. So I was definitely looking forward to it! Can you imagine, I don’t have to listen to a word of Hakka, no one playing Jirami, no Brunei club?! Hahaha. But hey, I did think about Mike’s mum spring rolls and laska! Hahaa.



Spend my reunion dinner over at my aunt’s place and I welcomed CNY at KBOX with my most favourite people. Too bad BQ cant join us as he is away in JB.

Strangely, i always hated river hong bao as my dad always bring us there to take photos when we are kids. Guess it explains why i'm sooo over it now. hahaha.
Was suppose to go to Mr Khoo's house on the 21st feb to catch up with the rest of the SLs. But because my uncle decided to hold a last minute lunch at his place, so i missed catching up with Sky and the rest. Sorry!!!

My mum's family.
Had porridge buffet. Seriously, the cheapest ingredients are the most yummiest food! hahaa.



Horray, i finally went to the marina barrage!




Went over to Sentosa as well to see the Resort world casino. Sadly to say, i want the old Sentosa back!!! It's like Sentosa is changing soooo much!!! And i dont like changes!! hahaha.

We went to the Science Centre and caught the Bodyworks exhibition while waiting for Vanessa and Chris to show up for dinner.



Cant believe there is a buffet at the Omni theatre!! haha. It was yummy thou!!



Meet up with Vanessa and Chris.
