it's been too long

hi girls, i'm back.
in singapore now for phase 2 of my elective... doing infectious diseases in tan tock seng is really interesting and i've learnt loads just by listening and observing the consultant who's my supervisor. i am in awe of her keterterroran la.
anyway i miss you all, are any of you coming down to singapore anot? bin? come come... i'm going back in 3 weeks time already! nick will be arriving in singapore in about 2 hours and i'm going to pick him up. next weekend i'm back in msia and then the following weekend nick's coming down to spore again. i'm staying at toa payoh at my cousin's place and got swimming pool somemore! (but can't go swim yet, will bloody the water and tear someone's swimming suit off ala angie style).
bin, just did dermato and acne is hard to get rid of. you DON'T have to spend loads on a cleanser or moisturiser though, the most effective ones are the ones you get from the dermatologist or see whether you can buy it from the pharmacy. they should be about rm 20 thereabouts. no need to spend on some fancy brand. you'll also need to get antibiotics (in the form of cream) from the derm person to put on your face. try not to cover up your face with makeup cos the makeup might also be irritating your skin. and girl, don't stress yourself out too much. hard to do, i know but sometimes you have to take the hard knocks in life gracefully. you've been 2 years with the company, stand up and get the confidence to ask for a raise! you deserve it!
i learnt something from my consultant today... she said that sometimes patients may be grouchy or plain annoying and it is precisely in those circumstances that you have to actively resist from judging the person or letting anything cloud your performance. in the same way the people from work piss you off, try giving them the binwei we know and love and get them on your side. it's harder to be a bitch when someone isn't taking your bait... and then you come out looking like the good cop and they become the bad cop. when you appreciate yourself more, it will be easier for you to believe you can get that payrise. and we all believe you can!
ping, thanks for taking the time to take nick out, really appreciate it. girl, i haven't seen u in sooo long... can we all have a meetup next weekend when i'm back?
angie, i like the posts with pictures. i am gaining weight also. my auntie said "you WHERE got fat?!?! your ARMS only what!" in this very innocent way. but chocolates are little brown devils of temptation during periody moments.
min and sook... we missed each other and didn't get to meet up in aussie. but we'll meet up soon i promise.
we're all learning i guess... the job doesn't just teach me how to do the right things properly, you also pick up life lessons along the way, that, if you blink and miss it, just passes you by. then you don't learn anything at all. we are so old already, but i still make mistakes. i still have to apologise to my mom and eat humble pie in front of superiors when i say the wrong things or give stupid answers. but nevermind!
let's eat that burger.
