faithfully waiting

back in indo again. was quite frustrated with the internet connection here. fReAkInG sLoW!!!
if anyone wanna contact me, juz email k? haha...

Anyway, i'm here for an internship, so will be back quite soon probly. It was quite a shock on the first day, given how bl00d totally fReAkS mE OUT!!!

yeah, so on the first day i was gonna meet a doctor so i juz conveniently walked into the operation room and...

me: *hops in* morning doc!!! :D
blood: *all over the place*
intestines: *lying ominously open on the bed*
me: (omg!!!) *turns around, crawls out*
doc: !?

yeah its kinda SH0CKing to see that on the first day. but oh well, nice intro and all...

so on the first day it was cimino surgery, which is joining an artery to a vein on the hand. first they gotta anaesthesize the patient...

Doc: *pokes w scalpel*
patient: ouch
Doc: *pokes again*
patient: eow
Doc: *pokes yet again*
patient: ...
Doc: :D yay
Doc: *start slashing* lalala


Doc: Ey drew, cum'ere
Doc: see this artery?
artery: *beats*
Me: (oh fuck no!) uh humm
Doc: impressive huh
Me: yes
Me: *smiles* :)

second day i witnessed the glory of all mums: giving birth. hahah... but its not natural birth. First thing first, we have to realise that all things come in different sizes and since she is compromised, she is not that lucky after all. So... here comes the surgery XDXD its called sectio caesarean where they have to slit open the womb to extract the baby.

My initial impression of 'labour' is tense atmosphere, serious docs getting things done, and mom giving enthusiastic warcries.
But NO! MTV was playing, the surgeon was humming 'william tell overture' and 'the saints go marching in' . The mom was snoring....
no more such things as 'push, baby, puuuusH!!!' no fight, no struggle, no pain, no drama.

n when the baby slides out...

Doc: congrats darling, u are one proud mom :D
Mom: zzzzz

nurse: *picks up baby*
baby: *cries*
nurse: welcome to Earth
nurse: have fun with life

the mom missed out on her best moment of pride and glory. she will juz wake up saying "done? oh i have slimmed down, so where's my baby"

yeah and there's operation on the neck too. this one's a gore. he got hypothyroidism and they have to remove the goiter on his thyroid gland. I tot the doctor is supposed to operate with utmost precision and care, cuz human body is fragile. But no he juz dig and dig, grab, put aside, cut snip pulll den tear, sigh and say its done.

sounds extremely exaggerated haha... oops. The operation took arnd an hr or more. I cant really follow the whole process cuz its going too fast n i noobe!

now i'm still trying to fight over my fear of blood. whenever there's blood spurting i wld juz stare and smile, legs shaking.
Neck operations always have alot of blood spurts cuz its close to the heart and carotid artery has high pressure. They did cut one of the arterioles and the blood shoots out quite far before they can close it.
I died...

yeah there's more but recounting them makes me wanna hide under my blanket. But still there's interesting ones like inserting a probe into the navel (belly button) The exploration is done on the TV screen. Den juz go deeper in cuz the pasture is greener redder on the other side.

mmm enough said. shall juz post a few pics i took since the day i arrived haha... taken during my mom bday celebration...

Its been a nice experience working along wif poly students haha... they are super cool ppl but the thing is they smoke T.T

Anyway, when we were ggt home tt time, there is this blind guy who juz grabbed hweifung's arm and asked her to take him to orchard. Okay, since i am the only man there i volunteered to bring him there since its near my hse so nvm. yeah so i brought him all the way to the mrt station, but no exlink card. So i decided to buy one for him.
then he talk abt how his fren abandon him lah, how he need to sell tissues to support family lah and makan. It is talk about life very painful things... so i gave him 5 dollars.
okay den he started to panic becoz he say the ppl there will think i cheat my money but i said nvm. so he left me. I continued following him to help him, but each time he refused, change direction and banged the wall. yah... he was totally avoiding me lorh so i feel damn hurt mah. i tot i did something wrong.

then the control station ppl came over to me. told me that he was a regular nuisance in alot of mrt stations and he might not be blind. He targets only young girls to take him arnd and grab their hands. So hf was in a shock lah. I worse. I felt cheated lorh.

yah. I was so totally gullible. I felt like shit dammit.

~ The End ~


haha nice song! love Five for Fighting. They got lots of nice songs... haha!

Went to watch letters from iwo jima wif darren marcuz yijia and hiromi after work. Its kinda sad to watch ppl fighting and dying for a pointless battle. People getting killed by the honorable dysentry (food poisoning). But their loyalty and spirit for the country is really admirable. A show worth watching! haha...
For those ppl serving ns, dun watch or u'll be aftraid haha...

And what happens if Indo and S'pore happens to fight each other? I dunno where my loyalty will stand haha... Just run loh maybe. I could be killed by indonesians for all i care.
And Singapore so small size... one small bomb and that's it!
But dun worry i am here as an embassador. War wun happen when drew's arnd, i will see to it haha... AS LONG AS I LIVE!!!
I shall put my true man's honor and true man's pride at stake

Saw rara wif his classmates oso haha... the coincidence! loL

sometimes crowded place makes u feel uncomfortable, insecure, esp in toilets. Funny how i held back my tide for since the beginning of the movie. Even as i stood there in between two biig men, nothing happened. I was rather puzzled. It's supposed to pour... to be unstoppable! But nothing! The aura just felt wrong!
Oh well so i went to a cubicle and then i felt the happiness feeling :D
Therefore, ambience and atmosphere is important in everything that you do...
Choose a university that has the best and most suitable environment for u to study so that u will do well haha...

Ok that was meant to be indirect cuz its abit awkward yah?

Aerospace / Mechanical Engineering / Chemical & Biomedical Engineering
Maybe accounting too...
sigh i can't make up my mind.

oh joy and love <3 <3

haha damn happy! after nights of suspense, maybe blissful ignorance, i got back my results and I AM NOW DAMN HAPPY haha...
nothing more to ask for. AAAA B3 yup yup!
considering i dropped bio over a weekend, and how my GP nvr passed, plus always kena arrowed by carebear cheng, its a great miracle, thank GOD!!!

generally my class did well, so I am damn happy tooo... yay!

so we went celebrating arnd orchard and dhoby ghaut, feasting and playing pool wif yingnianjasfel. The night's young, the moone bright and the starrs are dancing. Perfect moment of celebration haha...

Yest went esplanade wif xtine, but she left early to accompany her kewl jap fren to see mr merlion's butt. You can only see the front frm the sea, how stupid is tt, only let the cargo ships see...
Haha... so i spent the next 3 hours (alone T.T) looking for scores lol. Photocopied arnd 50 pages. Gonna relearn piano cuz feel that all the hardwork i put in the past has gone to waste. Then went arnd wif izhar to suntec and marina bay, looking for any available movies but dun hav haha...

He was late lah becoz he was saying he went to toilet, then found this yellow long piece of hard shiT, that probably came from foreign land, in the toilet bowl. Tried hard to flush it away but the stupid thing juz keep rolling around in the water. Nvr really got flushed.
He didn wan to next user to think that the shiT belongs to him so he waited until the coast is clear b4 he stealth out of the toilet
In the end, he is late and the thing nvr get flushed. Pathetic toot...

Anyway, after that, went all the way to river valley for a church gathering at zhenhao's place haha... I am now part of the Young Adults, omg the honor! the privilege haha.... i am now a YOUNG ADULT woohoo... Had fun eating dinner and playing games.

Today went to celebrate results with sec shld frenz oso after church. 10 of us haha, play bball and dota, and crap for damn long. haha...
marcuz' story of how jh helped him to avoid this girl was damn funny, laughed until tearing loL !!!

den met up wif xtine to see her off b4 she goes back to msia again lol... WAILS! its gonna be a while b4 i can see her again WAILS!!

changed blog song haha... love this song! used it in the class video.

haha... life's good. Gonna plan to stop my work soon. I think i shld be doing aerospace engineering or mechanical engineering. But which uni i dunno yet haha... See where accept me lorh lol.
Just that its painful leaving singapore and my frenz behind if i go overseas haha...

Hard choices!

now AJ days are really over. kinda sad. at least last time still got results to look forward to for gathering. haha... now nothing left in aj for me.
2 years of our most wonderful moments are over. I mean... it wasnt that long ago that i applied for JC. tried hard to appeal into nj, but landed myself at aj, but i dun regret it AT ALL haha... i was damn happy i didn get into nj, come to think of it.

Anyway, my point is i dunno what is coming for me and i dunno what i am going to do abt it. Just see the path where God will lead me to and i will juz have faith. Hope i will meet more wonderful ppl out there haha...

one thing's for sure: life's beautiful so live it well haha...

Song




New Song in My Heart
Emu Music

1. Put a new song in my heart
Let me hear the praises start
Dispell the night
And give me light again

2. Put a new thought in my mind
Help me leave the past behind
And break these chains
That I might live again

Lift my fallen face
and help me to stand
Flood me with the grace
That comes from your hand
Cleanse me from my sin
Lord, forgive me again
That I might be yours alone

3. Put a new fire in my soul
Make this wounded spirit whole
And help me see
That I am free again

Let these broken bones
Rise up and rejoice
Bring this captive home
And lift up my voice
Help my spirit sing
Now to Jesus my king
For he has forgiven me

Lift my fallen face
And help me to stand
Flood me with the grace
That comes from your hand
Cleanse me from my sin
Lord, forgive me again
That I might be yours alone
