Kang Yang

Kang Yang: Is this nice? (Referring to a mint sweet)
Aldred: See our reaction (We "donate" our sweet to Keng Koon)
Kang Yang: Can this be swallow
Jocelyn: Is not a bubble gum
Kang Yang: are we suppose to swallow it? are we suppose to bite it? Is this a normal sweet? (We went blank upon his question. How on earth one eat without swallowing the food. How on earth we consider a sweet as abnormal.)
Aldred: You are suppose to bite it till small piece and swallow it when is small enough.
Kang Yang: Oh, normal sweet. (o.O)

Mummy's fine.

Hospital

It was a late morning when my mum broke my sleep mentioning is time for us to go hospital. Being reluctant to admit that something was wrong, for fear that history would repeats and move out of my bed, I told her I do not want to go. She began to cry outside my doorstep. Upon this sight, a strong sense of guilt was growing within me. I did give her my word that I would accompany my father, moreover, as a daughter I should be there to support her.

Along the journey, I was trying to hide my tears, both guilt and worries. While waiting for her turn, I was trying to hide the awkward atmosphere by striking out conversation. Luckily my auntie came to accompany her and ease her fear.

While my mother was in the surgery room, my father re-account what happen. He told my aunt that she cried as she was scared (which relief my guilt) and she did not told her immediate family. My dad keep looking out for the time and wonder how come it took so long. Finally, she was out and fine. Mum get well soon!

Just a side note, the nurse there was really polite and have a pinch of humour. I love her working attitude and seriously live up to her title, senior nurse.

Incident on the train

I went to work with my heart skipping a beat. I managed to maintain this joyous mood till the day end. Everything was well, everything was fine, until someone just had to spoil it. Oh what the, couldn't you just leave a young girl a good memory?

It was at the end of the day, when everyone could shake off the days hard work. I board the train, I spotted two available seats and began to sit in the middle. As soon as I spotted Yi Ying sitting not far, I signal for her to come and join me. Just then, this man began to use his butt to push my butt away. I politely explained to him that my friend was coming over and suggested to him that he could take the available seat just few steps across. I even show him the way courteously with my hand outstretch. I assume that such act would buy peace to us, but I was wrong. (I believe I did move him, he took a step back. Guess, he just want to fight with me. ai!)

He give me a straight no in front of my face and grill me that there is no such thing called the "reserve seat." Yi Ying defend ourselves by saying that she is moving over. He began to scold us in the public. I wanted to stop him and told him, 'go away, you molester.' He replied, 'molester, how dare you call me molester?' and he move off. After this I was silently shivering, was obviously petrified.

I did not shout molester loudly as I know the consequences. I know once I did this, it will alarm the police and would not do good for anyone on the train. After much cool down and doing much reflection, I do not think I am in the wrong. I did keep my poise and try to make peace. All I could conclude is that he is not a gentlemen. Correct me if I am wrong. By the way, I have no qualms to give up seats for elderly and pregnant women. I believe many can witness to this.

My message for this man, 'Do not dare me, for I dare. In fact, ask yourself if you dare to face the consequences? I will forget this incident, perhaps you are just in a bad mood.'

All right, enough of ranting, now to a lighter note. Work was splendid. At first we were given stack of forms to sign. Indemnity, particular, consent form and what so ever. This was follow by a thick file containing nothing but bio safety. We were supposed to be familiar with the regulations and even be given a test on them. Blessed our soul, only selected content would be examinable.

We were directed to a table before flooding ourselves with the notes. We later learn that Kang Yang friend was coincidentally also an attachment student there. This make it easier for us to pull strings with people there. For lunch, we meet up with the rest and have a hefty meal, hefty in terms of dollar sign.

We also had to draw blood for baseline blood storage. It was painful but still bearable. After that, my hand feels numb and cold. Later, my supervisor finally arrive. Although she was sick, she make the effort to welcome me. I am so touch! I could not have any better supervisor.

I was enjoying myself until I remember it was graded. =x

days after the last leap

Was finally released from the torture chamber! Alas, no more mugging for examination and no more heaps of assignment. Hopefully no more late nights, at least for diploma. My life will undergo a hairpin turn for I will complete the rest of my diploma with attachment cum final year project. I am quite anticipating for it, wondering how does it feel like to have a nine-to-five job at Biopolis. Hopefully, there will be more time for my family, my friends, for my own enrichment and shopping. I even made some mental plan on how should i spend every evening. However, final year project, with a hefty module credit attach, bring some fear in me. What if I got a B+? What if my supervisor have something against me? What if I cannot answer questions posed during presentation? oh no!

Below are some snippets of my life after examination:

Thursday: Watch Wall-e with some of my schoolmates. In my opinion, I think the show was not as good as most people proclaim or rate. The start of movie was dry and it lack of interaction with the audience. Perhaps, my negative view was affected by high disappointment as it was far cry from what the company is capable of (e.g. Nemo, Toys stories). Went back home to tidy and clean my bed. Yes, read again, its CLEAN my bed.

Friday: Tidy up my wardrobe. Discarded plenty of clothes and categorise the remaining stuff. Felt a sense of satisfaction for two days of chores. The though of revamping my room crosses my mind. I would love a princess room, pink wall with white furniture, not forgetting does furs and accessories dangling on the wall. It could also be a warm room, with brown-yellow calm soothing wall with soft bed and warm lights. This idea was quickly stew away as it is not possible. My current bed set was too expensive, I cannot possibly change it. I wanted to make do with what I have but I am seriously clueless on how to make it warm and cosy.

Saturday: Went for family chalet. Really appreciate them, enjoy their company. Love them.

Melvin (my oldest nephew currently Primary six) was now more sensible. His is improving and learn how to take care of family members. Really proud of him.

Malcom (Melvin younger brother) was less lovable in my eyes comparing with his previous self. Perhaps he was bless with many loves showering upon him and he became too spoilt for his own good. He cried at the slightest thing and this bar me from playing with him.

He wanted to drink root beer and saw Calsberg beer asking whether is that root beer. I immediately roar out a big no and tell him repeatedly not to drink it. The next moment he began crying, even with coaxing and suggesting other alternatives, he refuse to stop. His granny (my aunt) have no choice but to bring him to buy his beverages.

When I start using Melvin DS, he inform his brother about it. His brother then say its alright and even offer to help me. Something came into me and I told him, 'not like you selfish.' When he was about to cry, I realise how insensitive I was to a young child. Quickly quipped my words with kidding and luckily it helps.

Cashel a shy quiet girl. She doesn't even dare to ask her sister to lend her the game nor ask her my parent to buy her a present. She call me to the room and tell me "i want mei mei that game" how cute.

Chealsea younger sister of Cashel. Pretty adorable Korea like baby. Not selfish and always willing to distribute her sweets. Very clever girl and have an aptitude for games. When I told mention to her that her sister want to play, she willingly lend it to her. Both sister drew birthday card for my mum too. How sweet of her, what a darling she is.

Sunday: Went to watch movie money no enough with my family. It make me learn that no matter what we should be practical.

Monday: Went out with friend. We were too tired and decided to take a rest at the theatre. It was a documentary about Chinese learning English. Although I disagree with the way he teaches the student, I must applaud the way he inspire them. He told them that our parents work hard so that we could have an education. Their hard work is definately not any lesser than us. We always say we wanted to repay them but could they wait for this day? Therefore, we do not have time and have to treasure every moment working hard.

Tuesday: Do not know what happen to today. Strangers keep disturbing me. I am scared.
