i got myself a new...



This belongs to yours truly!
My mum says i can go cycle alone cos smaller wheels=safer, unlike my bro.
The person said it was supposed to be a stunt bike, you can turn the front part 180 degrees.

My cycling history...
Cycled on 4 wheels when i was young and my mum didn't teach me how as she was protective of me and afraid i will fall:(

Begin to cycle on 2 wheels when i was sec 2.
Learnt from my class mates during a class bbq
She told me: " control the bicycle, don't let it control you"
It took me an hr to be able to ride smoothly. :)

Thereafter, i only cycled once when i had chalet in sec 4
The most i cycled was in my poly years, when they took me on night cycling trips.
That was when i truly learnt how to manouevr down slopes, wriggle in between narrow corridors etc.

Why do i like cycling so much?
I like the breeze in my face, cos i can never run at this speed!
i frown when i cycle as i'm concentrating really hard, but in my mind i'm singing and enjoying the ride^^

Night Safari!

My first trip to night safari at the age of 20.
Nothing to be proud of but i'm really glad to be there. :D
Its the first "night zoo" in the world ever since it opened in 1994 by SM Goh. *Kudos*

If u like photo shoot and don't have a DSLR, this is not a place to be- you can't take pictures cos photography might alarm the animals. (so there is no picture attached to this post XD)

Take the tram through the whole park- it was amazing to see animals out at night, You practically feel like you are wandering in a jungle with animals at close proximity.

You must eat more carrots before you go- you need really sharp night vision to search for the animal in the foil of darkness.

You must not be afraid of the dark- beware! its pitch darkness except for a few bulbs scattered here and there.

If you like bats you must go- there's an area where you walk through the passage with fruit-fly feeding bats roam and skim through your hair; feel the wings fleeting just by your ear.

Walk through the trail if like to explore- the experience is one of a kind with the walking throught the thick foilage with the night breeze.

Finally, watch the animal show and be enthralled by how well trained these animals are- otters know how to sort rubbish.

If you dislike the hot sweltering heat of the zoo, this is the right place for you!
~The sight of the taiwan zoo; cycling on top of animals (i sat beside lilin!) reverbated in my memory.

Binary?

Things are better in 2?
My forgetful nature has driven me to get things in double, so i'll never need to retrieve them from my bag and take the risk of forgetting to bring it out.

Now i have things in two sets-
Like i have 2 lip balms and 2 hand cream so i can leave one in my bag FOREVER and keep the other one on my bedside table. COOL? i think this is "MUDA" (wastage of effort) according to the company policy of toyota.

Seriously i'm treating the symptom and not the cause.
SIGHS!*

Thanks to you too!

Have recieved lots of tokens of appreciation from patients since i started out work...
here's the list:

Bread from breadtalk, provenance, sun moulin
Cakes and pastries from breadtalk, taka, Indonesia
Ferrero rocher(24's), shortcake
Fruits like mangoes, oranges
Homebaked cheese cake
&
Pyjamas! (patient exports pyjamas from indonesia to sg)

He says; " do you know what it means when they pay so much for their medical fees and still bring us gifts? it means we have gone beyond the call of our duty."

I went home feeling a sense of satisfaction that i have made a difference.
As one of the nurses say, " we offer good service but it dosen't mean that we are servants."
i count my blessings for being able to lend a helping hand:D

Where's my wisdom?

Had 2 of my lower wisdom teeth extracted on Tuesday.

The process:
Anaesthetic was instilled into my lower cheeks.
Then we waited for like 10 mins before the operation starts.
OMG, i don't know what they are doing with the pliers as they knock out my tooth.
In the midst of it all, the dentist said:"one tooth out!"
The second one was out after some resistance...
Didn't know my wisdom was so intangible but nonetheless i was appeased that everything was over.

But well, not quite yet as i start to bleed profusely and was in malaise the whole night.
Changing cotton pads every half an hour, gargling chlorhexidine mouth wash and eating painkillers before i sleep.
When i woke up, everything that has happened culminated in the fact that i was unable to chew!
Devastated with no breakfast? Was beginning to regret...cos it wouldn't need any intervention if i was not querulous with my teeth structure. Finally understood the despondency my friend had when she had braces and can't eat when i was eating porridge while staring at the plate of nasi lemak my neighbour was eating during lunch.

To compromise imperfection or dolor?
I have chosen the answer, inregardless the makeover will go on.

What makes you different.

Why does my heart jump a beat when i stare into your eyes?
Why is it that the things that you say tinkers my heart?

I love the way you walk me home, the way you fluster over me and probe me for answers.

i do enjoy your attention:)
Thanks for making me feel alive; cos i know i still feel for someone.

Answers to 心理测验:

On relationships(friendship)~

The oldest

The most expensive
You are practical and prefer to see the value of relationships as something tangible.
You aim for the epitome in life and may unknowingly equate money with relationships.

The smallest
You prefer to go with your heart and have friends or relationships based on interests. You will find that your close friends changes from time to time when you have new interests.

My express transit.

Takes 128 to work on weekday mornings.

FYI: 128 line is not reflected on the bus directory as it only operates during peak hours; morning 7.30-8.15, evening 6.45-7.15.
Its an express service that transits me from my house to TANGS smoothly (if there are no traffic jams:D)Most importantly it saves my fats from brisk walking to the MRT station and squeezing in a mass of bodies just like a can of sardines.

I tend to leave home at this specific timing that will but there are days when the bus arrives earlier and i have to lament not leaving home earlier. But i never repent.:( Nowadays i have to dash across red lights and chase for the approaching vehicle. Thankful to know the driver, cos he waits for me:D (wonder if one day he will say to me: can't you just leave home earlier?) The real excuse is time has surpassed my Titus watch- its lagging behind time...(just like my life is)

So thats how my day starts; by saying gd morning or thank you (when he waits for me) to the driver and alight opposite ION and find myself gazing at the LV display that is designed by a famous architect honoured with the entitlement of being the flagship store in Asia.

心理测验

Ok, this is an interesting one... my first psychological question.
Passed by Faber castell (how much can colour pencils cost?) shop in ION orchard on friday and saw the display:

The oldest pen
The most expensive pen
The smallest pen

Which one will u choose to possess?
