Week 2 is over! So I guess I have been adjusting myself to the "hectic schedule" and increasing my expectations so I don't really feel that I'm lagging behind. I think the most stretching part is that I have to stay back in school almost everyday for rehearsals!!! But it should tone down over the next few weeks :) *fingers crossed*
As such, I kinda lost contact with facebook and instagram. Which is a good thing! :P
I think I'm starting to enjoy this school life ;) Till then!

Week 1
Ok, so I just ended the first week of my advanced diploma course. Well, I'm definitely glad to be back in NYP on a daily basis :) Finally the desire to attend lectures, tutorials and lab lessons are met. Just that this time, I am with a bunch of really hardworking & smart mature students. And me being a typical human being, I just get so pressured by this kia su culture around me.
As much as I can, I am trying VERY hard not to compare with others or let this stupid GPA thingy put me down. If you wanna know the background, my manager emphasised that I need to get at least a 3.5 for my GPA. And it's all for a better future blah blah blah. But... not everyone is born to be smart and excel right...
So now, I AM STRESSED OUT! After I graduate, I will CONSIDER if I want to take my degree. Anyway, I don't desire to be top here top there top everywhere. I just want to play my little small part to run my organisation and be contented with what ever things that come to me :) Making it my life motto!
At the same time, I am rather inspired by my course coordinator(form teacher, if you wanna put it that way). She spent most of her career life in the UK and did her masters there as well. Bet she mingled with all the British and some even had to address her as "sister". By looking at such people, I begin to realise that I am a nobody.
What's my plan after taking this course? I don't know. I seriously don't know. I just hope that I will fair reasonably well- Make myself proud at least.
Concerns aside, I am having my very first full weekend experience :) Woohoo!!! But it comes with a price... I will probably be catching up with my learning and be doing some homework.
Still, I THANK GOD FOR TODAY!

Ward 43
I just can't get enough of ward 43, can't I? :) I have officially stopped work on Thursday but I had a fun-filled weekend with my colleagues!!! There was a chalet followed by Thiri's wedding!!
As part of the welfare team, I helped to set up and get the food etc etc... Was satisfied with the attendance actually. Cos we were quite worried that not many people would turn up :/ But nevertheless, we all had fun!! Wheee!
Slept over at the chalet, returned home and started to get ready for Thiri's wedding!!! Ok, I am going broke by taking cab here and there :/
Presenting my godma!!!
Sat with Li Yan and little Hannah! She's such a sweetie pie and VERY clever in eating :P
The whole bunch of us! :D

Birthday 2013!
I had an enjoyable birthday celebration with all my loved ones :) Though work is finally over, I have been busy enjoying my life before school starts!!!!!!!!!!! :P
Had lunch at Turf Club with Sheryne, Nat and Jing... Found this beautiful Sunday market kind of place!!! The feeling was good because I had a Sunday off after a LONG time! I am looking forward to more outings with them since life for me now is more "normal".
The usual pose with cake... Hehehe.
On my birthday itself, met up with 38club girls + Barry for dinner!!!!!!! My tired look after a morning shift. And we queued for AN HOUR before we had seats -___-
We had Nandos as I wanted to try Singapore's version.
Everyone wasn't very full so we trekked to Swee Choon for some dim sum!
Following the yearly tradition, of course we had to meet up!!!! Managed to catch up with one another at TCC. Yay to TCC because we had 50% OFF the whole receipt because of the birthday month! Heeheehe. I'm sure that we'll do this again and again and again :)
Lastly, hung out with the Juicez peeps!!! They actually planned everything just for me! *so touched* I met them in Serangoon after their rehearsal and I was brought to Kat's place without knowing anything. Apparently, we had steamboat!!! (it's Juicez's favourite past time. hehehe) Kat prepared all the food! Amazing babe! Love love!!
I don't know~ I'm not a dancer but I am still a part of them! I thank God that I'm part of this lovely family! :)
Recalling all these outings, once again I feel that I am so blessed!! I LOVE YOU GUYS! MUACK!

Nobody's Perfect
I just ended my eventful afternoon shift and it happened to be the last afternoon shift before I go and study! Feeling quite sian as I was discovered to be neglient. Disclaimer: No assucations on me posting this up if anyone reads this because no one was harmed at all.
I TOTALLY admit that it is my fault. I had promised to be more responsible in the future. But the moment I met my manager, she started telling me about how such silly mistakes can destroy my "bright" future. The moment she told me that, my heart sank. I felt so scared. Then again, I have to bear the consequences and face them all!
I thought it's like giving me a beta form. I remember that I almost had one, for accidentally throwing plasticine at my teacher's head. I felt so disappointed at myself. I feared how a bad record could affect my future. Anyway, thank God I wasn't judged by my manager...
Maybe this is just a "last impression" memory before I disappear for 8 months. So when I'm back, I'll be a better employee.

I have been attending meetings and stuff related to musical 2014 but am quite disappointed that there's audition coming up with songs that I am not strong in. So it's to my disavantage :/ Sigh... At this point of time, I don't really know if I wanna still join or not. I might be just assigned to join the choir. You know, as a performer, I kinda expect to sing in a small group or even sing solo. With a mic. Like I've come this far... But what if I do not get any significant role in the musical? All the late night rehearals, possibly sacrificing my results won't be worth it.
With such mindset, am I a diva? Am I asking for too much? Is it really fair to me?
Dear God, what should I do and how should I behave?

Happy Birthday to ME!
October 4th is a special date to me. It's funny just how I can just get so naturally hyper and excited over the same day everyday. It's like MY day, everything has to go MY way :P Ok, I better stop acting like a spoilt princess if not people will really think I am one.
What I usually look forward to it the meet up with friends :) So yeah, stay tuned for the future posts :D I am just reminded how blessed I am to have true friends around me, friends who will stay by my side, friends who love and truly accept me.
And for the first time, I AM going to work on my birthday(don't ask me why). I also could not help but blurted out this secret. I just hope work and the patients will treat me well. I hope to chop chop finish my work and then celebrate with my dear clique! Woohoo!
Birthday wishes? You may ask.....
1) Do well for my advanced diploma
2) To really have the ability to counsel people, especially my patients
3) More performing oppurtunities
4) LOSE WEIGHT!!!!!
5) To be more secure and generally be happy with myself
6) For that particular patient to be strong no matter what happens to her
I think I am SERIOUSLY gonna miss working when I start schooling xD As the saying goes: The Grass Is Greener On The Other Side

Counting Down...
1 and a half more weeks till I start school! And I just completed my last night shift yesterday. Man, I feel the joy!
I can't wait to dress up, carry my backpack, eat canteen food, attend lectures/tutorials, study in the library and have rehearsals! Hahaha.
I'm gonna have my Friday nights and full weekends! Well, it doesn't matter if I need to be at home more often to complete assignments... It is time to once again exercise some discipline!
One thing I'm definitely sure about: I'm gonna wish I would be working instead when I start school :/
