Having the Right Attitude Can Take You Far

Issac wanted a part in the senior muscial, but he believed the teachers always gave the best parts to the class stars. "I'll never get anything," he told Yolanda one afternoon.

Yolanda said, "Hey, look, why don't you tell yourself you can do it anyway? 'I think I can, I think I can.' Tell yourself that, and maybe it'll happen."

Issac decided to try it. As he tried out for a part, he sang his heart out and told himself, "I can and I will," all through it.

I CAN AND I WILL.

Shine

I just need to shine this Thursday...

Please! I really want it.... That would be the best birthday gift ever given to me.

What Can I do??

"When you lead as a friend, you watch out for your friends. When they're vulnerable, you take steps you need to help and, if necessary, save them from disater."

How am I ever gonna do it?!

I look to you, Yaweh...

Great Company

For this holiday(even in the midst of attachment), I have been spending a lot of time with THEM!! And I really love it! Heehee. But due to the stupid attachment and holiday, I missed out a lot :/ Anyway, I should count my blessings right?

So, yesterday after work, I went to Carlos to celebrate Barry's birthday!!! I love hanging out there because of the huge HD television and the ample space to just laze around. Not forgetting his nice and hospitable parents! Tolerating our noise late a night(oops), feeding us and just being friendly! :) Usually, we will hang out until about 4am when Carlos will drive us back home(thanks dude!). However this time round, we planned to stay all the way! IT WAS FUN! Watching movies, looking at old photos and sleeping. Yes, this time round we slept. All 9 of us managed to squeeze into Carlos' bedroom. I left his house at about 12.30pm for church.

The "hangover". Hahaha. But no worries, no alcohol was involved... It would be better with a bit of it though :P Next time!!!

The only photo I managed to capture with the birthday boy... Barry!!!!!!!

We've know each other for 6 years, seen each other grow up. I'm really glad to have such a company :) Can't wait for MORE!!!!! As for now, I'm like this...

Good night everyone!

Though I feel like this, I don't get emotional over it. There is more to life than these stupid things!

Yay me for only sleeping for 1hr30mins before an 8 hour shift! How cool is that?!?! And I wasn't even that tired while working. Yes, I have started my 4 weeks attachment and I just completed 2/19 of it! Woohoo! Right now, I really dislike attachments. I mean, compared with being a student nurse or a staff nurse in a ward, I would want to be a staff nurse(and being "old" in the ward), though there are many cons like a huge responsibility, no time to eat, no life blah blah blah.

Side note: I feel that I am more bold to communicate with my patients this time round :)

Back to the topic: Reason? I hate people who talk down to me! Dang it! I was in your ward for just 2 days. And it is not as if I don't wanna abide to your rules and all that. If only I could switch roles ya. Let's see how YOU would feel. Jeez! Ok, probably I would need another 10 years to end this phase of my life(because a newly trained nurse will also experience such thing). Of course, I will try really hard not to be mean and make people feel so low.

And I bet only Singapore adopts this kind of stupid snobbish attitude. I realise that I am mean sometimes(of cos i dont outrightly talk people down). Is it because I encounter such people in the first place?

Results were out today. A sigh of relief for me. I am just gonna send my current semester results to KKH and that dosen't include the GPA. Generally Bs. I don't think that they will make a fuss out of that. Haha. GPA remained the same(or deproved by the lil decimals). I got 2.8 by the way. Well at least it is a slight improvement from the previous semester and I didn't fail any module(WOO! Thank God!)!!! At the end of the day....

I NEED TO BUCK UP.

and... I'm back!! :)

Just wanna quote something...

"You may lead a highly successful and envious life, but lasting joy exists because your loved ones are with you"

Total awwwwwww. Anyway, the trip has been great! More than just the touring around, looking at how the systems works there, learning how to cook and do housework, etc etc, quality time was the best spent there :)

I can't wait to live with you for a year (if that is really possible)!!! In the past, I thought that I could only get good company with the people older than me, so that I could look up to them and all that. But now, peers are like one of the best things God can ever create.

All the best for your assignments! Don't surf facebook and read blogs so often! Heehee.

Things to note for this trip: There is more to life than sleeping. Never take night flights.

It's all about nature and Chicago!

We booked a tour and went up Mt Dandenong... The first stop we had morning tea with the company of parrots. I was amazed because they actually perched on my arm and even head!

Next, we went up Puffing Billy, a steam train. It was really cool and vintage man!!! Loved that experience. I think too much influence from Malcolm of loving trains and all that :)

After the tour ended, we met JingWei, had lunch and went to the botanical gardens! I loved the place. Hee, took many great shots too. Heehee.

The night was spent watching Chicago! I must say that it was a great showwwww! Ok lah, though it was kinda expensive, but I guess it was all worth it!!!

Ok, time to sleep. Was ordered to wake up early tomorrow so that I won't waste my last days in Melbourne!!! Ciao!
