But am glad of the experience.<br /><br />Became Deputy Team Leader in April, and then to Team Leader in October. Lotsa frustration, stress and learning to be done. Doesn't help the people are falling sick more at the end of the year and coverage has been really difficult! Lessons learnt: always ask for help, drive the team, anticipate problems before they become real problems, and that I'm always being appraised. Need to be the coffee instead of carrot or egg!<br /><br /><strong>Weddings:</strong><br /><br />2011 has been a year of weddings!! Check out the number of invites.

This girlie of mine had really gone through thick and thin and I'm really happy that she is where she is supposed to be. Here's wishing them a loving and blissful marriage.

Lucky I had a book to accompany me.<br /><br />After being ushered to the operating area, I was asked the same questions that was asked earlier (when was my last meal? any drug allergies?) and finally led to the cold cold operating theatre. And that was when my heart went thumping so so so fast! And I had to calm myself down (and wishing that <em>Jasper </em>was around!). Lied down on the operating table and it was nicely warm. So I was telling myself that it's gonna be like a facial with my mouth open! Haha!<br /><br />The LA went on and it was painful! While it worked it's magic, I was covered by and felt things placed on my tummy. Weird! Haha! And the procedures started and I was calming myself my listening to my heartbeat on the heartrate monitor to drown the drilling and cracking sounds inside my mouth! Was painful at some times when he was playing tug-of-war with my teeth! And it was finally over! Not after him sewing in my mouth. Luckily I could not see anything or else I think I would be freaked out!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/TDRqHww9gzI/AAAAAAAADkM/Pr5-vaZAH0U/s1600/35322_10150202785715635_898680634_13134656_2456331_n.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491130527253365554" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/TDRqHww9gzI/AAAAAAAADkM/Pr5-vaZAH0U/s400/35322_10150202785715635_898680634_13134656_2456331_n.jpg" /></a><br /><div>My left lower tooth all drilled to pieces while my 3-legged top left tooth was pulled out whole!</div><div> </div><div>Can feel a gapping hole in place now.

Can't shop much there as it's too expensive to shop there, although I reckon we spent a small fortune at Uniqlo. Not because it's much cheaper but because it's much more affordable!<br /><br />Shall start the blog on the Japan trip with something to whet your appetite (literally). Took me ages to sort out the pictures, group them and put them into collages for ease of uploading!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/TBoqsWmnYnI/AAAAAAAADVI/TQjRmEFRC1g/s1600/a.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5483742437747155570" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/TBoqsWmnYnI/AAAAAAAADVI/TQjRmEFRC1g/s400/a.JPG" /></a><br />Airplane breakfast.

They have the yummiest yummiest egg which make you go "ahhh....." once you bite into it! We went back to eat twice too! After Ippudo, I felt that all other ramen paled in comparison! And I loved it that they provide appetizers such as bean sprout (kim chi style) and garlic where you can squeeze (see last pic)!

Long time no blog. It seems like no one's into blogging these days with the advent of twitter, instant FB/msn updates through iphones and other smart phones, blackberry chats etc. Call me a traditionalist, but I think the most 'instant' I will be would probably be would be msn and sms. Well at least for sometime.<br /><br />Some quick updates. I have settled well into my new department already, working there for almost 2 months now. With a permanent position comes permanent responsibilities! Hahaha. I'm now expected to perform up to par and expectation with the rest of the perm staff, expected to be answerable for all that I do be it good or bad, expected to put in beyond more than what is usual, expected to..... Yeah the list goes on and on.<br /><br />The only thing that really keeps me going is the steep learning curve with lots of knowledge and new processes being learnt everyday. I wonder how those who are really really comfortable with their jobs keep finding their own satisfaction. I guess I have to work hard and discover that area of my own.<br /><br />While I'm stuck in the daily grind of work, the princess is having an awesome time in Japan! Having tons of Japanese food, looking at those japan hourlish sceneries, enjoying fresh mountain air, cooling weather, experiencing the peak japan rush hour, staying in comfortable rooms, sipping japanese tea, sigh. I need a holiday too! But don't get too jealous. She will be back in the crazy Singapore heat soon! Hahaha.<br /><br />I find weekends to be the stimulant of life. And this weekend was so awesome. I met up with YQ, Dexter and AK. Its so good to meet up with them once again. I really really miss hanging out with YQ and AK especially. They are really 2 of the best friends whom I knew for the longest time. I was especially delighted to hear that both of them are doing well in their respective fields since returning home from their studies abroad. We had a great time eating and chatting the morning and half an afternoon away at Ikea; which btw served me lousy sweddish meatballs. But I so miss laughing at the crazy antics of YQ and AK. Especially when YQ is being silly at times earning a swift punishment from AK. Man I love this couple. I must make it a point to hang out with them more often. It is a blessing to be encouraged by fellow brothers and sisters when one's faced with the lows of job commitments and the inability to boost life's expected excitement. I was truly blessed from a day of hanging out with them.<br /><br />This was to be followed with a night of MJ with the usual gang. I enjoyed my Saturday so much that I just spent the Sunday recovering from the past day's experience. I woke up late, missed a jogging session, ate a sinful lunch, watch tv, took another nap, woke up in time for dinner, and watched more tv before typing some random posts up in my neglected blog. Before I know it, its Monday morning at midnight already. Sunday has just passed. Its amazing how fast the weekend just flew by. I am already looking forward to next week's badminton with the seconday school gang. Hurry up weekends. Come faster again!<br /><br />Ok I am off for another shower. I wonder's what with the sweltering heat today. <br /><br />Hmmm. Hopefully I get another inspiration for another take on life as I let the cold water run past me. This cannot be all there is to it.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8378098-2342305943952065610?l=butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>On Eagle's Wingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11669986685934539508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378098.post-88720408189828066972010-04-23T13:29:00.003+08:002010-04-23T13:33:39.226+08:00when the pantry auntie stores the cabinet keys to the extra packets of milo, coffee, tissue papers and what nots in a Gucci handbag...<br /><br />Missed <a href="http://butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com/2009/11/you-know-you-must-be-grossly-underpaid.html">Part I</a>?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8378098-8872040818982806697?l=butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>On Eagle's Wingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11669986685934539508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378098.post-13254756852760066252010-04-09T20:06:00.002+08:002010-04-09T20:11:44.993+08:00"Oh no you don't"<br /><br /><em>No, not the NEW fish tank!</em><br /><em></em><br /><em>"</em>Grab him"<br /><br />"PANIC BUTTON!"<br /><br />"PIN HIM DOWN"<br /><br />"Bring the bed over!

Today was just the second time I left work on the dot (ever!). Just took my bag and ran off from work just as the my desktop clock struck 8pm. Nice. Even managed to catch dinner with the princess and went <em>kitty hunting</em> after that!<br /><br />This year has been a whirlwind so far. The mad flurry of activities since Janaury (mostly work related though) has kept me totally occupied. The recent slowdown in auditing peak has finally gave my team members and I some breathing space, with a lot of us starting to go back from work on time these days. I even had time to update my resume this week.<br /><br />With the updating of resume comes the next crucial part. Where do I send it to? After about 7 months of work I am no less closer to finding out more about what I really want to do in the future. Discovering what I would really love to do has been an elusive moving target so far. Despite 2 working stints in very different environments and different job scopes I am still clueless. I've always envied people who know cleary what's best for them. I am still taking whatever that's given to me in hope that I will somehow be enlightened as I work.<br /><br />I think I am sick of contract jobs already. Contract jobs provide little certainty and is rather disruptive to long term progression. Furthermore contract jobs offer almost no perks and zero leave. One of my colleague pointed out that with the end of my contract job next month I would have worked for almost 8 months without taking a single day of leave. And it suddenly dawned on me how time flew by and how I worked endlessly without taking a break. No MCs (thank God for good health!), no timeoffs, no paid leaves. Heck I didn't even take a single day of unpaid leave. Geez.<br /><br />And I wondered why am I burning out. Hahhaa. Thought I would have seen that coming. But hard work aside, this past 7 months of work has been an amazing experience. From the colourful personalities of the different people I meet to the varied departments that I get to work in, I am really thankful that I am observing and learning new things daily. I am also very fortunate to obtain the favour of my bosses. Such that I do feel rewarded from my efforts; not always monetary wise but in lots of other intangible aspects. For one I am especially pleased with the result of my previous stint in PB. (Ask me ask me ask me...)<br /><br />Kidding. With the close of another job stint coming in about 6 weeks time, its about high time I decide what I really want for my future. While I am still praying for opportunities with my current employer, I have also started to look outside as well. I certainly hope that I find a more stable job next. Hmmmmm.<br /><br />Ideas anyone?<br /><br />I think I will leave the job search to another day for now and go watch American Idol for inspiration instead.<br /><br />Singing? Nah. I should be sitting in Simon's seat! Haha.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8378098-168313710238893040?l=butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>On Eagle's Wingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11669986685934539508noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378098.post-42038192894198244412010-02-28T17:27:00.005+08:002010-03-04T02:02:50.418+08:00In a blink of an eye the Chinese New Year came and now its almost over!<br /><br />The Princess and I had an awesome time gorging, gambling, gaming, and just being around families and friends.<br /><br />So before its gone, the we (along with Poth) would like to wish all treasured friends and loved ones an awesome year of the Tiger!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B75kGOhlyhM/S4o-41sxueI/AAAAAAAAEfs/v2OzjYsSyGk/s1600-h/DSC00198.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443232245839149538" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B75kGOhlyhM/S4o-41sxueI/AAAAAAAAEfs/v2OzjYsSyGk/s400/DSC00198.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><em>Hu Hu Sheng Wei</em>!!!<br /><br />May all of you be blessed with good health, happiness, success and the best of everything!

There were <strong>4 </strong>bikes outside my house! Questioned dad about it and realised that he went to a police auction where they sell stuffs that are being ermm... confiscated or found by the police (I think). So he got the bikes! All at less than 200 bucks. And nothing a little polishing and pumping can't do to make them spanking new!!<br /><br />More surprise was when he took out a box filled with cameras! Lotsa them! Sony, Canon, Sumsung, Olympus, and even Ranger! About half of them were really old school! But I found at least 3 that I would use! All for about 300 bucks! But I need chargers for them!! Anyone with spare camera battery chargers?!?<br /><br />Hmmm... Now I know where I got my shopping genes from!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8378098-7941800097720825047?l=butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>NightStarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13258390107310934704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378098.post-33525460546254648362010-01-10T21:28:00.000+08:002010-01-10T21:30:02.425+08:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/S0nWPzfzFDI/AAAAAAAADJQ/CEZKxOKFjsk/s1600-h/3UDYP.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425102793154434098" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 390px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/S0nWPzfzFDI/AAAAAAAADJQ/CEZKxOKFjsk/s400/3UDYP.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />COOL!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8378098-3352546054625464836?l=butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>NightStarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13258390107310934704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378098.post-76466749778056208882010-01-08T21:52:00.003+08:002010-01-08T22:03:43.776+08:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/S0c7M_4y1TI/AAAAAAAADJI/dTorwL2uc8k/s1600-h/cardio.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424369370685166898" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/S0c7M_4y1TI/AAAAAAAADJI/dTorwL2uc8k/s400/cardio.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div>Would you rather be a small fry and be doing something you like; or be someone with good career prospects but doing something you don't like at all?<br /><br />Suddenly there are so many responsibilities thrown onto me, and my training is already mapped out.

I'm at a loss of what to write actually. Life's been pretty fast paced and hectic since the start of work. Since I'm at the topic of work lets start with work!<br /><br />The end of the year brings with it a close in the chapter of my stint in marketing for private banking. It has been a challenging, fun, and really fulfilling time at my work. Aside from the countless perks received, I was also at the receiving end of priceless learning experience gained from interacting with my very esteemed colleagues. There is just so much to learn from everyone everyday. I really thank God for providing me with the opportunity to make really good friends and to gain such an invaluable experience.<br /><br />I mentioned close. I will be moving on to investment banking! Will try my hand at some operations and see how it goes. Wonder if being an analyst is really what I want to do. Imagine staring at the computer glued to your butt for almost 10 hours a day? It will be a far cry from the previous stint I'm sure. But well I believe it will be beneficial for me at the very end. Since I'm hired on a contract basis I guess there is not much to lose in the first place. I hope to really discover what I like to do in life this year.<br /><br />Work has really taken a toll on this battered body of mine. Funnily I didn't gain a single gram despite having an average of one buffet a day in US for half a year. BUT! I gained 4 kg while working for 4 months this year. SHEESH! Plus I have not exercised since I started working! At this rate I will be way over 0.1 ton before I reach 30 years of age. Goodness. And the next stint definitely will not help salvage this predicament for sure. My company sent me for a health screening just this week. And let's just say that the doctor sent out some severe warnings. Drastic measures must now be taken. I will aim to run to east coast at least once a week! I must start grabbing Jermaine to force me to run with him on his usual runs. And no more gorging, excessive drinking and indiscriminate eating for me!<br /><br />Anyway, Year 2009 has really been an awesome year indeed. And I was richly blessed. From a fulfilling US exchange trip, to a pleasant surprise finish at graduation, to making new wonderful friends, to getting such an awesome job. I hope that year 2010 will bring with it more exciting times!<br /><br />Outside work I'm afraid the social and personal development areas of life has taken a beating. I hate not having liberal time to date, to hang out with family and friends and to do so many other things I would have love to do. I have not even play squash for the whole of 2009! My guitar would be buried under dust if Jermaine had not used it. I got a growing pile of finance magazines unread. Many fabulous movies were left unwatched. I can't last more than 2 one-on-one basketball games now. The GT lies neglected and underutilised. Even my Christmas presents are still sitting pretty on my table unopened. Haha. Where did all the time go? Its only going to get worse next year and I am really not looking forward to that at all! I jokingly tell my friends that they most probably won't see me until May (the end of my contract stint). Well I guess this is really how life's supposed to work out as a full fledged adult.<br /><br />I need to master or at least get better at the art of work-life balance. This shall be one of this year's lofty aim. I am always amazed at how my colleagues manage to excel at work while waking up at 5am every morning to cook a day's meal for the kids, and staying up late to check their homework. Every mother at work wears an invisible cape I swear. Superwomen indeed. Its funny how it took me 24 years to really understand this, only after I started working and understanding its true meaning and nuances. Mothers at work are a misunderstood and underrated lot.<br /><br />I will end abruptly for now. I don't know when I will blog again. Could be tomorrow, could be the next year. Haha. This is part of a new 'randomness' that I found in almost everything I do ever since I started working. I have lost much credibility and predictability over these few months!<br /><br />Still, Nightstar and I would like to wish all family, friends, and loved ones an awesome year ahead. Many happy and joyous returns!<br /><br />And may you all find what is best not in your own eyes but for that of the ultimate good. That is my personal prayer and will be that of mine for you all in this coming year.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8378098-6721521271852971570?l=butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>On Eagle's Wingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11669986685934539508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378098.post-17880589848246770082009-12-27T17:32:00.010+08:002009-12-27T17:56:52.934+08:00The day before....<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/SzcrhXb7GoI/AAAAAAAADI4/qlGgvD1uho8/s1600-h/IMGP9524.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419848528790493826" style="WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/SzcrhXb7GoI/AAAAAAAADI4/qlGgvD1uho8/s400/IMGP9524.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Praying to <em>tee gong</em>.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/SzcrhBxPutI/AAAAAAAADIw/oSItIr7s9cs/s1600-h/IMGP9530.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419848522974345938" style="WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/SzcrhBxPutI/AAAAAAAADIw/oSItIr7s9cs/s400/IMGP9530.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Yum food!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/SzcrgniMtnI/AAAAAAAADIo/VVBESNiedio/s1600-h/IMGP9531.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419848515931911794" style="WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/SzcrgniMtnI/AAAAAAAADIo/VVBESNiedio/s400/IMGP9531.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/SzcrT-8q6RI/AAAAAAAADIY/IOTvGTHeOTc/s1600-h/IMGP9534.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419848298878658834" style="WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/SzcrT-8q6RI/AAAAAAAADIY/IOTvGTHeOTc/s400/IMGP9534.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Burning of the incense paper...

I know that this is part of the process of life. Its about growing up. I had my fair share of fun for a third of my life already. Now its time to figure out a way to make the other two thirds just as happy and contented.<br /><br />Money seems to be the key. You have heard a million quotes; no money no honey, money is king, money talks, blah blah blah... Sadly, these quotes are true! Well to a large extent. After holding on to a job for more than a month already, I have seen what one can truly do with money. The respect commanded, the things one can buy, the things you one do, influence, power, etc etc etc.<br /><br />Well speak not what money does for the immortals, but lets talk about how cash is relevant to us mere mortals in today's society. At our age, (turbo charged novice rats entering the race) our immediate concerns of money would be, earning, saving, investing and then spending. First find a good job, earn some money - get that biggest pay check that we've ever attained in our life for the very first time and figure what to do with it. Then comes saving. Hopefully after a considerable period of time, one would acquire enough to start investing in some ways.<br /><br />The first three steps are settled now comes the fourth. Spending. Unlike saving which follows earning and investing which subsequently follows saving, spending is concurrent, recurrent, current, ever current and its the only permanent occurence. Regardless of whether you earn, save or invest, everyone spends.<br /><br />The simple truth to financial freedom is always maximising earnings and reducing expenses. Its not rocket science but somehow its always easier said than done. How many people we know are caught up in the rat race? Bounded by the endless cycle of mortgages, bills and expenses while worrying if the next pay check will settle it all (if it ever arrives at all). I really wish there is someway that I can escape this calamitous route as well but it seems that there are not really many options are there?<br /><br />There are always so many things on my mind. Investment plans, marriage, holidays and backpacking, savings, housing, preparing for the retirement of my folks, etc. To make things worse I have not even found sustainable empolyment after the end of this year (there's a headcount freeze on my department that has not been lifted in more than a year already). I am also confounded by the many circles of the 'venn' diagrams of the perfect job. Balancing between where my interest lies, my strengths, charateristics and core competencies, the skills and experience I possess, the job scopes and requirements, the pay, etc.<br /><br />So much to ponder about.<br /><br />Well I was just commenting on Annika's (an Estonian friend of mine whom I met in UNCG) FB nick. It was really hilarious.<br /><br /><strong>"Due to the current economical situation, until further notice, the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off. Sorry for the inconvenience."</strong><br /><strong></strong><br />I burst out laughing when I saw this. She's always full of fun and craziness - Her much younger sister shares it too, as we experienced in Washington - but this one really is the icing on the very huge cake already.<br /><br />Has the light at the end of the tunnel been really switched off? Has the silver lining forcast been retracted due to the worsening fog? I don't know. I shall just take it a step at a time and slowly see what the future holds for me.<br /><br />YAaaaaaawn.

The photo function is back again! And I can finally upload photos. But as always timing is making a fool of out of me.... I don't have so much time to blog now.<br /><br />I do have a ton of photos to upload though and many stories to tell as well but I guess they just have to wait. But here's one photo that I've been itching to get out!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B75kGOhlyhM/SrnmF8UUdiI/AAAAAAAAEe0/ggGhvY7pOso/s1600-h/Tiger+Poth.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384587819263227426" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_B75kGOhlyhM/SrnmF8UUdiI/AAAAAAAAEe0/ggGhvY7pOso/s400/Tiger+Poth.jpg" /></a><br />Poth the king tiger taking a majestic yawn<br /><br />I love this picture so much its even my FB profile picture as many of you would have noticed. I have also been proudly showing every and almost anyone this picture through my handphone because it was taken from my phone camera itself too. Neat eh?<br /><br />Besides my boring caption under the picture here's some alternative captions that I have thought about or was suggested by some of you:<br /><br />"I'm Pooped..."<br /><br />"Yawwwwn..." (Duh)<br /><br />"Ok why is my dinner taking so long..."<br /><br />"Darn who removed those crocs (the other more comfortable footware he uses as a pillow)? I guess the Havais will do for now... Zzzzz..."<br /><br />"Peeee-ewwwww!" Where have you been with those???<br /><br />"Ooooof! How long was it since you washed your feet!" - suggested by elder bro<br /><br />"That was boring Mimi!" (mocking the other cat)<br /><br />Well about why you guys are seeing this half-effort-created post is because I will be starting work tomorrow! Will be working the standard office hours at city hall. So find me there for lunch if any of you are free!<br /><br />Before any of you get the idea of asking for a treat I'm only working till the end of the year! So the treat will have to wait until further notice! Heh. But I really do hope that by doing my best in this job I get to open other windows for personal growth and as well as opportunities growth. I have been praying since I graduated for God to guide my career path and if this is not the route for me then definitely I will know some way or the other. But in the meanwhile I guess its time to tune my mentality to the start of the rat race officially.<br /><br />Soon more responsibilities will follow and with an income comes greater commitments. I've always wondered how it is to be working for years and years without any respite. I really wonder. Now its time for me to begin the journey myself. I can only pray that God will continue to make it a meaningful one.<br /><br />So its off to work for me soon! And I hope I won't be yawning so soon...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8378098-8879357705601195316?l=butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>On Eagle's Wingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11669986685934539508noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378098.post-43408527263123335922009-09-09T14:38:00.000+08:002009-09-09T15:13:23.964+08:00Well seems like blogger is still down with the picture functions. So its gonna be a wordy post!<br /><br />I have not updated since before my reservist that ended a month ago. Well I've just been pretty much bumming around for the past month while searching for a job at a leisurely pace. <br /><br />Let's start with reservist. It was really fun to meet all my fellow reservist mates again. And we hit on right from the start from the command phase to the phase when the rest of the men comes in. As one of the youngest NSmen in the company, I am really glad that I was able to interact and network with many others years my senior. The wide array of occupations and experience within the company is staggering. I was able to gain valuable insights to the different perspectives of the corporate world and as well as what we all know 'life'. To add to the joy of interaction one my man is getting married next year and will be inviting the closest of us to his wedding! Awesome! But ouch! I better find a job by then. Hahaha. This year's in-camp was definitely more challenging than the last but it was definitely more fun as well. And I really glad that the increased level of difficulty of the tasks helped to gel the whole company closer. I am really looking forward to any interactions with the rest of the company either before next year's ict or at next year's in camp.<br /><br />The end of yet another year of reservist signals the start of the job hunting process for myself and I must say that I have not been having much luck with it. Maybe its because I have been very choosy with the positions that I have applied for. Maybe its due to a lousy cover letter. Maybe its the fledging economy. Maybe my CV was not impressive enough in face of competition. Maybe I didn't send enough job applications. Endless possibilities but I know that there will be only one end: I will get a job in the end. Essentially I recognise the one key link to it all: I have not been trying hard enough. Hahaha. <br /><br />The recent graduation on the 28th of August was so much fun. It is really nice meeting all my schoolmates once again, some I'm sure for what might very well be the last time in my life I'm seeing them. And to top it all off I was really thrilled to discover that very day itself that I qualified for the degree with distinction! I am glad that I was able to make my mom (the kind sole sponsor for the Shaun's Graduate Funds Scholarship) extra proud by being the top 20 of my cohort and the first few receipients of my degree at the convocation ceremony. Indeed my success would not have been remotely possible if not for the support of those closest to my heart - My dear family and friends. We took photos all over the campus till the very evening before proceeding to town for dinner and just having a good time chilling out.<br /><br />But hey no degree, with distinction or not, will get one a job that one really enjoys. And I am still praying that somewhere God has already reserved that special place for me. I really do not want to jump into a job that I will regret a few months later on. But its getting increasingly difficult to keep searching. Although its only been a month in the job hunt. Hahah. I have the concentration span of half a 15 cm ruler. Ah wells. I will continue to keep working on it while enjoying my holidays!<br /><br />I really hope that the picture funtion of blogger returns soon. I got a ton of pictures to upload!

I was super lethargic, no strength to stand up, and my stomach was growling really badly. The hourly poking for hypocount was horrible, my index, middle and ring finger of my left hand are all blue black. So typing and performing any type of ADL was a chore!! And since my right hand was on the plug, that leave my left hand to do almost everything. Ever tried brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand?? Goodness... Never realise it was such a chore!!<br /><br />Hypocount was horrible. I forgot the timings and the readings, but it goes from 3.2 to 2.9 then to 3.7then suddenly down to 2.3, then back up to 3.7 then plunged to 1.4. 3 tubes of blood were taken when the hypocount dropped to 2.3 and 1.4.And now both my hands are blue-black!!<br /><br />And at around 635pm, the nurse came in and told me the consultant had reviewed my results and that I CAN EAT ALREADY, and NO MORE HYPOCOUNT TAKING!! And that food would arrive soon.I have not been happier to see the uncle sending the food to me. And A class food is really yums!! They ordered japanese pork chop for me although I was eyeing the spicy sotong from the muslim menu!! Haha!!<br /><br />Alrighty, back to enjoy the tang yuen that Shaun bought for me!! Super full now though!! Can't wait for night snack!! <br /><br />P.S. My pink zhu zhu stuffed toy is here with me tonight in all her smelly glory!! =))<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8378098-4126487375040313701?l=butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>NightStarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13258390107310934704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378098.post-49007159149771804572009-08-26T11:15:00.003+08:002009-08-26T11:28:30.419+08:00There has been some major changes since my last post. The consultant came at around 3 plus and I was having palpitations and cold sweat!! So the 4 hourly hypocount taking is changed to 3 hourly. And the protocol changed...<br /><br /><2.5: Take 3 tubes of blood<br />2.5-3.3: hourly hypocount taking<br />3.3-4: 3 hourly<br /><br />And my readings are as follows:<br /><br />4pm: 4.1; 7pm: 3.1, 8pm: 3.6 (phew!); 11pm: 3.3 (oh no!!) and it was 3.3 for some time before going down to 3.1 at aroun 5pm. Then it was 3.1 for 3 hours. Then 9am: 2.9 (whee finally some changes!!); 10pm: 3.2 (hmmm....) and finally 11am: 2.3!!<br /><br />Then the MO came and took 3 (!!) tubes of blood. Anyway she told me there was this guy who cannot tahan anymore and stopped the investigation coz he was too hungy. I'm not going to starve for nothing!!<br /><br />This morning was really bad, as an ignorant nurse brought in breakfast for me (yam cakes) and the smell of the food just filled the whole room and made me nearly lose my control!! It was then I forced myself to sleep and the hunger pang was over. It's amazing... 46hours without food and I am still alert. Albeit slow and confined to my bed.<br /><br />One more bad thing though... they gonna take more tubes of blood from me!!<br /><br />Help!! My left fingers are all blue blacked, and my vein on my left hand is crazily blue blacked too!! And for the next blood taking, they gonna take blood from the back of my palm!! *gulps!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8378098-4900715914977180457?l=butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>NightStarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13258390107310934704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378098.post-8024691801573952192009-08-25T14:11:00.000+08:002009-08-25T14:22:54.440+08:00It has been 25hours since I had my last meal, and I'm surprised I'm still rather awake/alert. But I just can't seem to make myself walk faster. Even typing is a chore, as my right hand is on the plug.<br /><br />Four hourly hypocount taking is starting to irritate me. I have 4 pokes of the needle already and the readings are non-conclusive as of last count.<br /><br />11pm: 5.3; 3am: 4.9; 7am: 4.1; 11am: 4.4<br /><br />Basically I gotta wait till it drop to below 2.5 and symptoms appear before all the action starts. But till then, I gotta entertain myself. Have already finished a book, and facebook does not really work on this terminal...<br /><br />The A class menu is just out of my reach. I perused it yesterday with the hope that I can at least order it for Shaun while he is here. But no, they say they can't do that... Sigh... always wanted to try hospital food, as all my patients food smell really good. And what more A class food!!<br /><br />Next hypocount reading is at 3pm. Hope something happens. All this hunger is making me wanna curl up in bed abd sleep the whole day through!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8378098-802469180157395219?l=butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>NightStarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13258390107310934704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378098.post-52717732736378847112009-08-24T15:55:00.000+08:002009-08-24T16:03:56.269+08:00Whee!! Am now blogging from the computer terminal in my room! Feels like a hotel stay!! I love the mini wardrobe they provide us!!<br /><br />And the doctor just came to see me. Seems like I'm gonna be set on a plug!! And 6 hourly blood taking!! Goodness!! Needles!! <br /><br />Reason why I'm in hospital: Been having giddy spells, so just gonna check it out to exclude endogenous hypoglycemia. Or rather, to check if there's anything wrong with the insulin production organ (i.e. pancreas). So what I've gotta do is to fast for 72hours!! Goodness!! So do not bring me food if you do visit!! <br /><br />Sigh!! There's something seriously wrong with blogger. My pictures from London/Scotland are all edited but I can't blog them!!

My laptop's blasting great music and I am still wide awake even at this hour.<br /><br />I am suddenly reminded by God's faithfulness and the blessings He has poured upon me throughout these years. Especially for that of my first ICT.<br /><br />Close friends will know that the ICT period of last year was when I went through what is probably the most troubled and tumulus time of my life. Last year's ICT was right smacked in the middle of Semester 5 of my undergraduate life. It was in the middle of project commitments, mid-semester tests, tons of administrative work for applications for my exchange to US. Semester 5 was a killer semester with arguably the toughest modules of the undergraduate curriculum.<br /><br />Furthermore the only grandparent I ever knew passed away on the second day of the ICT. My dear Gramm. I was devastated. I was not even anywhere remotely close to her when she left this world. I was distracted and detached. Losing someone this close without the ability to do anything about it, without the ability to be with the family immediately in this time of grief, without the ability to comfort those she left behind, is one of the worse experiences ever. I was unable to carry out my duties to the best of my abilities, unable to concentrate on the lectures (both in ICT and in SIM), unable to keep up with school work and projects, unable to do pretty much anything non-menial. I was lost in my despair and sorrows. I will never forget that period of time.<br /><br />But God you forsee what was going to happen and You have already placed guardians by my side in this most challenging and difficult time of my life. You for one have brought Gramm to a better place and I am really glad that she knew you before she left. You placed above me good direct commanders who are able to understand my plight and grant me leave to be with my family and to send Gramm off. You provided me with XinYi, my quiet comforter, who is able to in my stead be with my family and carry out the duties back home that I can't when I am back in camp. You blessed me with my two awesome brothers who were the pillars of strength for the whole family this period, overseeing all the details for Gramm's funeral. You provided me with ICT mates who live nearby, who facilitated my otherwise long travels to the camp and back. You provided me with good classmates, who carried my share of project work, kept me updated with school work, who took notes for me, and assisted my exchange applications till I was able to complete my ICT. You gave me good cousins who were able to get off work the whole week to stay in my house to help out with all the funeral proceedings. You put by my side, good friends who sent messages of comfort and in their own ways supported me in this difficult period. More importantly, You gave me and my family, especially Mom, the courage, belief and strength to move on.<br /><br />1 year on, with a smooth first ICT, decent grades for Semester 5, and a fulfilling exchange in USA, I smile as I type out this post. I can thank You God for a million other things. But its in times as such that the footprints in my life is more visible and tangible. I understood more clearly than ever, for the first time, the phrase "it was then that I carried you".<br /><br />Thank You God for being there always. May You continue to shape and guide my life according to Your will.<br /><br />I know I am going to have yet another great ICT. =)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8378098-7480759411993266736?l=butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>On Eagle's Wingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11669986685934539508noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378098.post-4578186682822709252009-07-19T01:04:00.004+08:002009-07-19T01:31:16.980+08:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B75kGOhlyhM/SmICjYCiGWI/AAAAAAAAEes/OAS6foDvtv8/s1600-h/DSC00145.JPG"><img style="width: 300px; height: 400px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359849313296062818" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B75kGOhlyhM/SmICjYCiGWI/AAAAAAAAEes/OAS6foDvtv8/s400/DSC00145.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />This is pretty-pink-nose-kitty. The most handsome cat in Lengkong Tiga.<br /><br />I was walking home just this evening and I saw it lying so comfortably on a red blouse on a hanger. It appears that the blouse was blown off from one of the apartments above to the ground floor. So he chanced upon it and decided to rest there for the night. I immediately whipped out my phone to capture this rare moment of overt expression of feline behaviour.<br /><br />Cute eh?

Although he does not like excessive work demands, Mr Fu may still be prepared to put in extra effort if it is on a short term basis.<br /><br />Mr Fu is relatively dependable to deliver results on time. He may sometimes be late in meeting deadlines.<br /><br />Mr Fu generally will persist with work until it is completed but may at times not complete his tasks.<br /><br />Mr Fu is likely to be quality-conscious and achievement-oriented. He is motivated to produce work that is of a high standard. He is observant, quick to spot errors and critical where work is concerned. He is likely to be meticulous, careful and pre-occupied with detail.<br /><br />Mr Fu is an objective person who is impartial and rational. He speaks factually and often does not involve his own feelings and emotions. He may sometimes be perceived as distant or detached.<br /><br />Although Mr Fu is usually a sympathetic person, he may at times be selective about being involved in the personal problems of people.<br /><br />Mr Fu is friendly and outgoing when he is with friends although he may at times prefer to be quiet.<br /><br />Mr Fu is the sort of person who forms long term bonds and attachments. He is faithful, trustworthy, and devoted in such relationships. He tends to be trusting, dedicated and protective towards those he loves. Patriotism and sense of duty is a significant aspect of his character.<br /><br />Taking ownership of His responsibilities and being accountable to higher authority are strong trademarks of Mr Fu. He is responsible, courageous, commanding and forceful. However, others may see him as being territorial because he is likely to assert control over work situations. Mr Fu will probably feel demotivated when not given enough responsibilities.<br /><br />Mr Fu is moderately concerned with prestige, rank and reputation.<br /><br />Mr Fu sees people as friendly, reliable and honest. He is trusting and believes what people say. He tends to be unsuspecting of people.s behaviour and motives. He is uncomfortable when he has to wheel and deal.<br /><br />Mr Fu's leadership qualities are moderate and he is sometimes able to get the support of people.<br /><br />Intellectual matters do not interest Mr Fu. He is more concerned with practical issues than abstract theories. Mr Fu prefers to talk about useful and workable solutions than discuss hypotheses and concepts. He is more likely to build on ideas rather than generate them.<br /><br />Mr Fu puts in effort to plan ahead some of the times. He may at times not be as detailed in his planning.<br /><br />Mr Fu is generally able to express himself although not to a high degree of eloquence.<br /><br />Being one who needs clear and thorough instructions before he can proceed on action, Mr Fu resists when conditions are uncertain. He does not adapt easily to changes. Before he embarks on a new project, expect Mr Fu to find out more and probe deeply.</span><br /><br />Well some of the points are debatable but most of it is quite true! I am really amazed. <br /><br />I am enjoying my last week of holiday now before I start reservist. I'm also 'passively' looking for a job. Ie. Just uploading resumes in central job hunt websites but have not sent out any to any organisations as yet. I am really in doubt of what I want to do in life. Haiz.<br /><br />Its a conundrum that I've been trying to solve for the past few weeks since my return from America. <br /><br />I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed wisdom and enlightenment.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8378098-7999499600825833443?l=butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>On Eagle's Wingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11669986685934539508noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378098.post-83607049256685347682009-07-10T23:19:00.008+08:002009-07-11T23:43:05.790+08:00London seems so far away....<br /><br />London day 4: Market day!<br /><br />First stop was Liverpool Street station: <a href="http://www.spitalfields.co.uk/">Spitalfields Market</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/SldduEVlE-I/AAAAAAAADBg/-vk12KESroY/s1600-h/DSCN3540.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356853327800112098" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/SldduEVlE-I/AAAAAAAADBg/-vk12KESroY/s400/DSCN3540.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />At the station...<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/SlddtCZNuAI/AAAAAAAADBA/EeF_GN4toNo/s1600-h/DSCN3545.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356853310098618370" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/SlddtCZNuAI/AAAAAAAADBA/EeF_GN4toNo/s400/DSCN3545.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Enroute to Spitalfields Market!

We learnt to appreciate the long days of summer where the sun sets at around 9 in England (and around 10 in Scotland) and is bright at 4.<br /><br />First stop: <strong><em>London Transport Museum at Convent Garden</em></strong><br /><br />The tube system in London is very much like Singapore's as well as Sydney's, and is very easy to get around. But Sel and I do not like Baker Street Station (which is many times our City Hall) as we were nearly lost the few times we were there and it was really confusing! Another thing is that people stand on the right and walk on the left!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/Sj0NOt2KAHI/AAAAAAAAC3o/_S4KbDfjEBI/s1600-h/DSCN3381.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349446478862090354" style="WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZYVZg9CHZaU/Sj0NOt2KAHI/AAAAAAAAC3o/_S4KbDfjEBI/s400/DSCN3381.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Love this pic!

Let's see...<br /><br />1. Music in background - Check<br />2. Fan on at full blast on non rotate mode - Check<br />3. Cup of cold water - Check<br />4. Snack (Reese peanut buttercup this time) - Check<br />5. Peace and quiet (whole house is asleep) - Check<br />6. LATE AT NIGHT - Check<br /><br />Its time to finally get down to some late night blogging then. I'm not sure how many people still graces this site but well I will be blogging more to update you close friends about happenings.<br /><br />Firstly if you do not know that I have safely landed in Singapore since a week ago you must have been on the moon then! Haha. Well the pilot must be insane when he announced to the UA flight that touch down at the stroke of midnight that it's a nice 29 degrees Celsius. The first few days of the week since last Friday was unbearable. I could not get used to the humidity and the heat. It does not help that there is no air conditioner in my house anyway. I shall set that as a personal "home improvement" goal that I wish I could contribute to the family as soon as I get a job. <br /><br />Speaking of a job, I ought to start looking for one as well. Will probably do so after I go through some serious unpacking and clearing of the house and of course after Becca (my American Friend) visits us this week right here in Singapore. I was not too anxious about looking for a job yet. Once again its the procrastinator in me that is telling me I can take my time. Sheesh. I will never rid myself of it will I? <br /><br />So instead of finding job my first week back in Singapore was spent pretty much on catching up. I managed to meet up with my Weasel, Cheers and Su Qin at Taka last week for lunch, caught Vivian for lunch another day and then Desmond and Kang for dinner the next night. And the Secondary School friends just left my house less than an hour ago. I also managed to squeeze in sometime to do some recce for Becca's holiday in Singapore with Anastasia. Neat! Other than that my first week was spent readjusting my sleep schedules which till now remain erratic but was much better than the first few days. Lastly it was especially sweet when I saw the princess for the first time at her place too. I'm so glad she had a holiday in the middle of the year too.<br /><br />I have a list of random food that I must attack whenever possible, so I will be looking to fill that up. I am really thankful to be back in wonderful Singapore surrounded by all my close friends. <br /><br />Its time for me to go enjoy the late night a while since I don't do it that often anymore. Let me go read up on some news. <br /><br />I will be back to blog soon! But I don't think I will be blogging much about USA unless I am really free and I'm done sorting the 20 GB worth of photos and videos. So don't get your hopes up any time soon man!<br /><br />Just come to my house for a crash course on my trip if you are really interested! Just as my Sec School friend has done.<br /><br />Good night! Be back soon-ish!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8378098-5959585956745289071?l=butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>On Eagle's Wingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11669986685934539508noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378098.post-54661584990779142762009-05-31T08:51:00.003+08:002009-05-31T09:00:09.319+08:00The wedding is over and it was great fun!! Had a tired but happy day running about and making sure Florence look her best!! Not much pics with me since I did not really have hands to carry anything else other than my bouquet of flowers (which was really pretty!!).<br /><br />Day started really great! Cloudless and sunny. A luxury in cold and grey Aberdeen.<br /><br />A little bit of hiccups with the hotel management regarding the display, but all went well in the end. It was fun getting Florence all geared up!<br /><br />Walking down the aisle was pretty nerve wrecking, but luckily Sel went first (thanks a lot Sel!!). Everyone were looking at us! Videos cameras and lotsa pairs of eyes!! Stood for long time for the ceremony!!<br /><br />The couple went photo-taking and it was really windy at the beach!! So we hid in the car while they went to take the pictures! Must be really nice!!<br /><br />Dinner was a nice and intimate affair with about 60ppl. And after that was lotsa dancing!! And Irish/Scottish dancing!! Oh yeah!! Wilson was in a kilt and so was Flo's dad!! And some of the Scottish! I think guys really look good in skirts!!<br /><br />Now I think it's time for me to hit the sack. Really tired!! My feet are sore!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8378098-5466158499077914276?l=butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>NightStarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13258390107310934704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378098.post-82118332667156480342009-05-20T22:45:00.005+08:002009-05-20T23:09:26.649+08:00And i'm ready to go to London!!!<br /><br />Looking forward to flea markets, shopping, Topshop, H&amp;M, sprawling green pastures, sheeps and of course the cooling weather!!

style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">It’s the end of the exchange already. So I’ve aptly adjusted my countdown timer to count the seconds till I’m home! This will be the last blog entry that comes from a UNCG internet connection. The last week was a bittersweet week and a half in school as we get caught in the flurry of emotions. The exchange was such an eye opener in a million and one ways. I'm afraid I will never be able to show fully the beneficial experiences of this privilege of studying overseas. <br /></span> <br />I have learned much more about myself and others. I made many good friends and even a few close ones whom I'm pretty sure I will keep in contact for as long as I possibly could. I benefited from a different environment of study - one that greatly encourage thinking out of the box than thinking proficiently within the box. I gained a new sense of independence and being responsible for my own actions well being and that of those around me. I am able to greater understand the different global cultures and have the opportunity to meet and interact with so many others from all over the globe. I saw much scenery and explore many places of which most I know I will never have a chance to visit again in this lifetime. I had the opportunity to try lots of authentic American food (even those in the Caf) and gained some weight! <br /> <br />The benefits will go on and on and I'm sure those who went on exchanges before can attest to. But at the centre of it all I am really thankful for God for providing me this opportunity and also for his continued grace and favour upon myself, Yan Hao and Anastasia as well. Continue to keep us in prayers as we travel from tomorrow onwards to the different Eastern Cities of America! </span> <br /><span style="font-size:130%;"> <br /><a style="font-family: times new roman;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B75kGOhlyhM/Sg0qnMHhScI/AAAAAAAAEbE/wg6J_xJZpQc/s1600-h/P5151221.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_B75kGOhlyhM/Sg0qnMHhScI/AAAAAAAAEbE/wg6J_xJZpQc/s400/P5151221.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335967986259937730" border="0" /></a> <br /></span><span style=";font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;" >The last day in UNCG from my room.

Went to work this morning and the swine flu epidemic had reach orange alert level.<br /><br />2. Had to go through temperature screenings when we report for work.<br /><br />3. Were issued thermomethers and told to measure our temperatures twice daily.<br /><br />4. Full PPE needed for people working in high dependency areas, and luckily that does not include OTs.<br /><br />5. Masks are our best friends now.<br /><br />6. Went through work as usual and it was a challenge teaching pursed lip breathing!<br /><br />7. Went to HR to collect a new name tag as my name tag was broken. And they labelled Physiotherapist under my name!<br /><br />8. Was slacking in front of the TV when a bee suddenly flew onto my thigh. I looked around and there were about 10 buzzing bees around me, all buzzing around on the floor, with little life in them. Elder bro chased them out, but some came back in again. Wonder why. It was a challenge trying to go up the stairs as there were some on the stairs too.<br /><br />One good thing that came out of this.... WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SCRUBS!! AND WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THE LAUNDRY FOR THEM!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8378098-6732117658498482074?l=butterflymemoirs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>NightStarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13258390107310934704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378098.post-61188524572524733252009-04-23T21:46:00.001+08:002009-04-23T21:48:05.467+08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B75kGOhlyhM/SfBxVzEKL8I/AAAAAAAAEac/3WLox_-ArYw/s1600-h/heat.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 164px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_B75kGOhlyhM/SfBxVzEKL8I/AAAAAAAAEac/3WLox_-ArYw/s400/heat.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327882978478141378" border="0" /></a><br />Both the weather and the exam crunch.<br /><br />I'm sorry I've not been updating!
