It was my senior year at NYP and I was almost done with my final posting. Making my decision to go there was prolly THE biggest mistake of all time. I learnt elephant NUTS. And I was under the wing of a 40+ year old virgin from friggin' cheena-piang who once told me (into my face) that Singaporeans generally have a bad command of English.

May I politely ask, LOOK WHICH BITCH IS BARKING?

Anyway, my time there has come to an end - I'm happy to be working at my current workplace.

Then there was "The break-up". Many were shocked that it took me just one evening to tell him straight that I no longer wanna be with him. Some labelled me heartless, attention-seeking, hot-tempered etc. Ho-hum!
Truth is, the relationship was already stagnant at the point of time. We were arguing EVERYDAY since both our attachments began and he was beginning to get complacent. If I needed him around, he took it for granted that things will be fine the next day and always told me to "go get some sleep". I can't live with that. Apparently when I smoke to forget my troubles, it's wrong. But hell yeah, it's good to sleep and just dump everything aside until tomorrow comes.

Nope, that strategy ain't gonna work for me.


February 2009;

School of Health Science, Class of 2009 says goodbye to Nanyang Polytechnic. 3 years spent in this wonderful institution trying to meet deadlines for projects/presentations, resolving of conflicts which occur during meetings/group discussions, building friendships that will last a lifetime, learning the importance of having enough clothes on stand-by, understanding that different countries have different hygiene standards (LOL!), experimenting new cosmetic brands and tones...

I will NEVER forget my moments in NYP. Those 5 hour long breaks which we dreaded so much back then seems like such a luxury now (considering we're so busy at work, we sometimes forget to eat). Evening lab lessons which began at 6pm and lasted att the way until 8pm - yup, I still recall how we'd pester our lecturer to let us off early, just so we can run to the bus interchange to catch our respective buses and trains (and then come to school the next day looking like Edward Cullen on drugs).

People, I miss you guys so much!
Post-graduation days... don't we just love idling around and DOING NOTHING? Hahaha! That was when Haslinda and I decided to get a small group of friends and go hiking at various locations around Singapore.

This small group is (sadly) no longer as active, but we're still in touch with each other and hopefully one day, if our rosters permit us to, we'd pack our necessities and do what we do best ;) We've hiked the whole of Pulau Ubin, Southern Ridges (Mt. Faber to West Coast), Upper & Lower Peirce Reservoir, HSBC Tree-top, Sungei Buloh, had a slumber party at Haslinda's crib and cheered TC on when he took part in this year's Aviva Ironman Triathlon.

Cheers to each and everyone of you who joined us for our hikes :))
