there's no need reason for certain things...its just meant to be..

Ppl used to tell me that i hold the broom weirdly. I probably still do. I don't know.

I used to be involved in so many arguments abt how women shouldn't be the one doing house chores because they work these days and since they're the weaker gender, men should take over instead. Bla bla bla. Unbelievably, house chores is part of my life now. I grew up with a maid, not having to worry abt anything other than studies. I probably only held a broom once in every 2 years, when my maid's contract ended and we had to wait a couple of days before the new one arrived.

It all started in Argentina. We didn't have a maid so we had to take turns to help out with the chores. My goodness. I never knew it could be so tiring. Suddenly the house seemed SO BIG. I rather study for exams than to do house chores. Washing dishes was miserable because i used to take an hour to do it, while my entire family would be happily watching tv in the living room. In India we used to have cleaners so the was cool. Now, living in penang. Its back to doing house chores. I guess if u don't make it a habit, cleaning could be rather dreadful. And disgusting. I suppose I'm pretty ok with it now.

I used to sweep with the fan on, and wondered why it was so difficult. Haha how silly. Also, i never dared to touch the food residue on the sink. Squeezing the mop with bare hands??? Oh well, i've learnt to do those things now. Yr hands can be washed right? What's the big deal.

Last night i was suddenly missing the times when i could just walk off the dining table right after dinner. My sis and I were hanging ard the table for a couple of hours talking and we moved to the living room, still talking. When we were both finally sleepy, we decided to head upstairs for a hot shower before bed. HOWEVER, we realized that those dishes are still waiting for us! So regardless of how tired and lazy we felt, we dragged our feet twds the kitchen and cleaned up those mess. Life is pretty different now. Chores chores chores.

I woke up this morning feeling so uncomfortable. My tummy was so cramped. Still cramping actually. Some of u might know what that indicates. Anyway, so now i hope my friends don't pick any of these few days to go to sunway lagoon because i REALLY don't wanna miss the fun! :(

I brought home some story books and ortho wire bending work but never laid a finger on them yet. I wonder if I'll ever do. Those are for emergency time, e.g if i ever feel bored. But there's astro here with all channels, and good internet connection, seriously Jamie, do u thk U'll bend wires? *I need to get some work done before my 4th year! Screams*

Which reminds me, I need to first pass my 3rd year!:S Some said the result Will be out today. I doubt it. Probably by Friday? I really really really hope i could pass! >.< sigh..

All the best to those who're awaiting results.....all the best, Jamie.

I couldn't resist...

your musical fall,
along with the cooling breath,
lure me to where you stand..
I can hear you calling out for me,
You soothing RAIN!

Between us lies a GIGANTIC wall..
I couldn't climb,
but i can certainly read.
all over, the grafitti says...

"STOP DREAMING &
Get Back To Your Books!"

The fate of a lazy student during exam period~

If only u knew...

What a day.

2 and a half hours of night sleep; from 4.45am-7.15am.
Jumped off the bed, a short half an hour of washing up and getting dressed for the unwelcoming general medicine paper.
My eyes could hardly open, but they didn't have much of an option.
When i was writing the paper earlier today, it hit me that today's the birthday an old friend. Ytd was also the bday of a very important person to me. So was 2 Sundays back.
I feel deeply sorry that i don't have the time nor credit in my cell phone (for overseas calls) to give these people a good bday wish and some catching up.



Dear beloved childhood friend Daphne,
loving pet brother wei hsien &
dearly missed Luis,


A very happy (belated) birthday, from a friend far across the oceans.

There's so much going on in our lifes right now, that at times we forget to reach out for each other and convey our love. Im sorry that i suck at keeping in touch. I can assure u though, that i do think of and miss you guys from time to time.

The times we spent together, the laughters we had and all the silly things we did; how i wish they're still here.

Lots of love,
Jamie

Dear Jamie..

Exams. Farewell. Financial crisis. Bad hair days. Meals.

There're like a million of things bothering you.
There always will be.
So many things to do with so little time left.
I wonder if you can even make it through.
Somehow things always fall into place in the very end.
Luck luck luck.
I wish it works for you again this time.
If God didn't exist, you'd have dropped out long back.

P.s. Don't take things for granted. God only help those who help themselves.

Eat. Love. Pray.


Love,
Jamie

Once upon a time..

I vaguely rmb how things were btw us. It was perhaps once in a blue moon when u did come across my mind. I've always been occupied with too much. Much more than i can or should handle. But one fine day, i recklessly stumbled upon yr picture, one which tells me that u've finally let it all go. Perhaps we've both done so some time ago, but witnessing it with my own eyes stings a little. I couldn't help reminiscing the good ol' times we once shared. The relationship we built, short yet so promising. I never wanted to look back, as the fact that it could never come back always slaps me in the face. I always tell myself, don't cry because its over, smile because it happened. I used to look at our pictures every now and then. I haven't done so in ages. The other day as i was looking at the picture of u and yr lover, i accidently saw tiny icons of our pictures on the side bar. I stared at them for a tiny while. I never had the courage to click on them. I didn't want to allow old memories to fill me up again, leaving me in pain at the end of the day. I wish, i really really wish i could be there on the day you exchange vows, as this is one promise i've made when we were still close. I most probably would have to break it, for the simple reason that i can never afford the flight ticket. Whatever it is, i wish i will always be one person u'll never wipe out completely off yr memory, because, i know i can never do so with you. Its better to have loved and lost, than never have loved at all. Many years have past, yet I'm still standing by this principle.


Love is everywhere. Why bother dwelling on the past, when u have the present to live, the future to hope.

Subway

Simple, yet irresistible.

It's obviously overpriced, but why do we still go for it?
The most expensive things u could find in the burgers are only the meat (pathetic amount of ham slices/meatballs/chicken meat) and 2 thinly sliced cheese which are pretty small in size too.
Alright, the bread could be expensive, I don't know. But all the other ingredients are cheap!


Vege:
Lettuce
Onions
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Olives (maybe this is expensive)
Jalapenos
Pickles

Sauces:
Mayonnaise
Olive oil
Vinegar
Mustard
Sweet onion
BBQ sauce



So, tell me, why does it cost so much??

I love Subway soooooo much, I wish it could be more economical.
At least then I could make it my regular food!!

Here's how I like my Subway.

Bread: Parmesan oregano (cheesy with a tinge of Italian herb)
Size: 6 inches is always not enough but i don't thk i can finish 1 foot, nor even afford it
Meat: chicken or turkey, because (darn it) I can't eat beef!
Vege: jalapenos, olives and pickles are compulsory (they make yr burger taste so heavenly!!!!) lettuce is to fill up the space. Tomatoes, cucumber and onions make my burger too bulky, without improving the taste so don't bother.
Sauce: I love it tasty, so I'd basically put in all the sauces. Olive oil and vinegar in particular, I think, make the burger taste really good.



I'm sure we can all make these burgers at home, since the ingredients are easily available in the supermarket.

Maybe one day, I'll bring Subway to home. <3

Up and down

It has been some time since i found sth i wanna share.
I'm currently posted in pedo, dealing with kids. I love watching how the doctors deal with them.
It's almost like they know what the kids are thinking.
All their tricks and intentions. Last Friday i was impressed with how Dr nagendran stopped a 5 yr old girl from crying and he managed to make her sit obediently. She was cooperative throughout
Her treatment. All he did was speaking professionally to her,in a stern yet comforting manner. I can tell that he really likes kids. He looks at them and smiles so happily. I have never seen him smile, not until recently when i got posted in this department, but only when he's ard kids.i treated my first patient last Friday. He is extremely tiny, cute and cooperative, tho a lil too shy. Can't wait to observe, learn and handle more kids, tho some could really be pain staking.

On a lighter note, i finally got my license. Driving test was scary but i'm so glad that everything went smoothly.:)
I won't be updating my blog much as i'll be busy studying for finals. Lets hope that works.
