Enjoy the waiting. Boarding soon.

21.5.1988

21.5.2009------ 21 years old!

Couldn't express myself at this moment! I have a great feeling. Great due of feelings and.....erm.... thoughts (?!) before I spend my last day of being 20. And therefore, I want to blog it. I want to keep a record of it. I want to put in words, for all those anticipations, excitement and worrying(aging,people)! So I asked 'someone' how to start up the story.

cecilia says: ya lo after call u,left 4 cents nia! hmmm wat i need to tell throughout tis 1 year? how i need to bring up d story?

edwin says: 21st may...my birthday...which incidentaly i am 21 years old also...that mean casino legal age in malaysia........ gosh...cant believe i am 21...a human's mind is a special and complicated thing...one year can add up a lot of experience,life lesson to a person........ blah blah blah...as a start... hahahaha

cecilia says: haha y everyone must talk about casino legal age


Of course, who never learn in a year of time. Man, that's long. I went through a lot throughout this year. Hundreds over days, I went through high and low of life, like a roller- coaster. I went through stresses, gossips that almost killed me, broken relationship that rendered me lonely and despair, found out the importance of good interpersonal relationship, leadership, communication, stress management and so on.

After my 20th, I had my semester 4- the last semester of my 2nd year. And I did quite alright. I had my experiences in nursery, labour room, community health nursing, communicable disease control (CDC). And this year, I had my time in OT, school health nursing, research...... Everything taught me something. I wished I never need to go through all of them but I am thankful for I've completing my journey, gone through all those experiences. Some taught me to be strong. Some tells me there's time for everything assigned. And man, can never play God. And I need to accept or maybe tolerate what people want to talk about me. Let them scold me and keep quiet and try to think rationally and analyse myself.

There're a lot of moments when I felt so regret, so cold, so depressed for being where I am now.
There're a lot of time when I truly appreciate my family, my parents, my family background and upbringing! I wish I can provide them a home here in Penang, pay for their travelings. Let my dad go to Taiwan again. Let my mom go to Europe... And all these contributing factors motivate me to study hard, work hard, learn hard and secure a good position in life. I told myself many times that I want to earn well. Or else dreams will still a dream even though you are awake.

*lol, why sounds so emo this post?

hmmm...
I just got phone call from Mul. Before that I have someone sang me birthday song! Yeah! And I am happy that someone is with me for this important day. Someone trust me that I am accountable and reliable when he needs me no matter what. This encourages me a lot. It inspires me to be a better one.

Ok, happy one. I hope I will enjoy my new mile. Enjoy boarding the adulthood. Have a meaningful time, all the time. Be a good girl! More mature. More stable.

Happy Birthday, Cel cel!

*thank you sweetie for celebrating birthday 5 days ahead. for your time and energy. for your presents. thank you for talking with me everyday! teach me a lot of new things! thank you! XD

I'm in heaven~

Because I am now posted to OR!

Operating Room.
Like ER = Emergency Room!

but here we usually label it as OT. T for theater. Of course, it's a very big place. Like a new department, first time exposure. It's like restricted area. Think forbidden city. And everyone inside is like so "high class", power, cool, smart, and cool and cool and cool and very, very, very cool! The feeling is like me, meeting Lee Hom. Or sweetie buying new Nike SB.

I want to go there to work next time! I love the place. It's my aim.

But, how to achieve it. No idea lah~ *sigh*

I was there for last 2 days. Have seen a few cases. Really admire everyone in the team.

Seen plating on femur, trigger finger release, arthroscopy, I&D on labial abscess and etc. To name a few. Can't wait to see more and hopefully tomorrow in O&G place can see some caesarean cases. I want to see how babies come out from tummy, how's the structure inside, the shape and colour of inside...

I want. I want. I love the feeling, the excitement.

***Mul: I am so proud of you for getting a job offer before graduate! *gam dong*

Happy Weekend~

Here I come, for the beginning of a series of happy, good, sweet happenings.
This was last few weeks. A month ago when I was walking towards sweetie's car............






and then, this was just few days ago. At the parking lot, looking for a driver I am familiar with...
My shoes. His shoes.
*Mul: featuring your shoes for the first time! Match it with mini~
We were doing our Digi stuff. Had myself changed to Digi network, using same number. It's so easy to do it. Just sign some stuff, let them photostat your IC and they will do the rest for you. Principal line (sweetie) call supplementary line (me) for FREE!!!!
We decided not to watch movie. Although Tom Hanks' show is showing. But we came into agreement that we can spend the time in a better way. We went around, walking, window shopping, talking, laughing and camwhoring! Instead of sitting down in a big, dark space, watching the big screen, eating caramel popcorn, sipping on Coke. And then 2 hourse gone. I don't want that. We like to talk to each other! And before dinner, I managed to get what I want/ need at Mango! 21st brithday present from sweetie!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU! I HEART YOU!
Guess guess guess! Where is this?They serve bottomless juices and soft drinks. That's pineapple juice. Not pure. Not those freshly peeled and blended fruit juice. They add some flavors I guess. Or, maybe canned juice?Chosen mushroom soup. With a lot of chicken chunks inside. Plenty of button mushrooms. I love mushrooms! So thick and creamy. In fact, never seen chicken chunks in soup. Not those shredded one but those you can bite on it. Bite bite bite with incisors, grin with molars and swallow and the lastly feel so full!These 2 are Side Dish. For salad, I had house salad instead of caesar. And thousand island sauce instead of oil&vinegar, blah blah blah... I thought I can have all dressings. Like in Subway. But the waitress paused and answered "No." Hey, it's CHILIS! At G hotel. Those were 2 main course that we had for our dinner! Such a huge portion. Especially my Cajun Club Sandwiches with lots of chips. Big, long and fat chips. A good taste of potatoes. Real chips, people! Hate those silly french fries. Get soggy and collapsed. These, they erect!!!!!!!!! yum yum~
Grilled lamb. So juicy.....11 oz of those tasty and aromatic lamb. With those homemade mashed potatoes, palm sized garlic bread and steamed veggies. Should have snap some photos of mashed potatoes. I hate Maggi MP by now. This one, really... *faint* Got mushrooms inside some more!
And you know what, we were not managed to finish our dishes 100%. Those were good for sharing. Maybe 3 persons are alright. Or 4 girls. Normal appetite girls. And hey, the sandwiches have 5 layers of ham, bacon (like bak gua) and dunno-wat. Love it! Love it! Love it!For Sunday lunch, we had Tao again in E- Gate. Like never fail to visit this Japanese fusion restaurant for seafood and sashimi. This time one of our guest is my new pal. JellyBean from BE@RBRICK series 13! I love it! It's so cute and girlish. I mean, a girlish toy... and Hey good news from TAO. 50% off for everyone borned in May. Flash your IC when you pay your bill. Valid for birthday individual only, discounts not for per table (if so, TAO big loss as they celebrated the 3rd anniversary).Me and my never- fail salmon papaya. Eating this makes me cry. Always so nice. Cam-whoring while waiting for next order to come!

Ok, after food, went to shop around in Queensbay. Same, never want to visit cinema. We went around visitng shops and spent some time in Borders bookstore, flipping magazines and craftbooks. Sweetie glued his eyes on some history books and some car mags. I read some anatomy things from Dummies too. Noted some error on that book too. When we were tired and it is late, we settled in a nice restaurant which pasted some nice pancakes photos on a few pillars in basement that attracts passerby to pause and snap photos. As shown below :-






But I had the opportunity to snap photos with real plates of food! My happy "Treasure Box" that costs RM 16. I think it worth the money eating all kinds of fruits, with walnuts and plenty of dollar- sized pancakes. All goes very well with the vanilla ice cream. Eat with maple syrup. Wonder what it makes of. Oh ya, love the cinnamon sprinkles!For drink, we had Hot chocolate with marshmallow. Main course was chicken breast with ham, pannekook and mashed potatoes.
Ok, let me roughly recall. Hmm... Marshmallow- I never know it cooperate with hot choc so nice, so friendly. I will eat marshmallow if I don't have cream crackers with me every day then! ***Mul, salute your choco- filled marshmallows. Let me try next time. One small bite enough. Thank you har! The mash mash mash potatoes...hmmm...not as good as the Chilis'!


Ok, I got to go for my dinner now.
Countdown my birthday: 3 days!!!! (Yes, Thursday)
Countdown next meeting with sweetie: 5 days!!!! (if possible)

10 days before my twenty- first (in a hungry state)

Let's have a look on some goood- food photos taken by me. For such a long time and no time to blog them and cause some saliva flooding. IWANTYOUTODROOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(time rewinded)

I went for short leave, back to home during labour day, after my night shift duty. Above: my dinner in SP where my godfather ('Kai ye') works at before parents sending me back to hostel before the gates close. I love fish, I love tomyam, I love claypot dried seafood ('hoi may'). I have to confess, I LOVE EATING~ *wuuuuu* (please give me a hula hoop as present and tell me if you want to buy me one 'cause I don't want to have 10 hula hoops and they may ended up in garden, decorating the path.)
Before I left home, not to forget to celebrate Mothers' Day beforehand. Before my mom depart for trip. It's a very delicious, yummy, chocolate maniacs' all-time-fav, freshly baked cake! it's 1kg of cake! Many chocolate inside. Heavy taste of it *drooling* Mom at the background, washing in the sky- welled- wet kitchen. Note the traditional chacoal stove (functioning)?! ANTIQUE~~~~~~~
One of the high- cholesterol dinner, with seafood, steaming hot. Simple and so good smell, tasted so nice with all the orange colour EGG inside the tummy. ^^ lai liu har~ Lovastatin 1 tab nocte, please remember, father!
To my surprise, I found this piece of instrument inside a room. Mom bought it for her to learn. She taught me some basic theory. After practising CDEFG for like 15 minutes, my right hand went into spasm. I hope next time (or last time) can learn to play some simple kiddo songs. The instrument is fun, it plays some of my favourite classical songs, like Canon in D and fur elise.
Ok, this happened on one of the afternoon which I am not working during the daytime (of course!) but working for night shift. I went to a food court next to Esplanade/ Fort Cornwalis (how to sp-iell?) to eat this... ...

The plate in front is mine. Yellow noodles= NOT SPICY / TAK PEDAS! It's a mamak stall, Indian- Muslim. Got it?
The sotong is very spicy (by my standard), very thick also. That's why I couldn't finish my portion. Imagine an eater doesn't finish a plate of noodles, ironic~ And I can tell you more about that food court. A lot of OL or office workers/ white-collars will go to the place to eat. I suppose the price is so cheap and variety is there. But I really feel uneasy with the crows, flying around....... -.-|||

Otherwise, this kind of instant/ convenient food is my dinner. Korean noodles, spicy. Not healthy. Not going to buy stock anymore after the last 2 packets. Bought it cheap (RM 7.95 for a pack of 5) for the sake of trying.
'Tai lok mee'- nice but oily. A lot of pork lard *ewwwwwwwww* I hope I can have some kitchen tissues to absorp all the oil the hawker put to fry this.
This can be found at somewhere. I can only lead you the way, I cant give you a direction to go. Maybe.... I smell food only. Fish noodles soup. Very fresh fish and sweet soup.
Seaweed egg as a side order. I never know that we can always put seaweed inside egg. My first time. Can't wait to try this at home!
This is a big plate of chicken chop at the price of RM 9.90! A big chop. You can swap the rice for mashed potato (Maggi). Oh, forget to tell you where is it. It's at Queensbay Mall food court at basement. Find 'BARAT'. Hello, food court need to pay service charge okay?

Swine flu at home. Collection of piggy. All pink, usually. But the first cute pig (suppose to be mine!) was orange (now brown)... See, the one with comma- nostrils! from my 1st special one *shy*

Ok, that's all. Going to sleep. Oh no way, the night is still young. Some YouTube first.

Mothers' Day

My mother is having a trip in Shanghai. Not affected by the swine flu.

Today is Wesak Day, and I have been rotting for the whole day, chatting, watching Japanese medical movie "Code Blue", went out to takeaway brunch + dinner. Sweetie is busy now, so I think I might be able to pass my time here. At least, doing something meaningful.

Tomorrow/ Today is Mothers' Day. I think, I am supposed to do this.
Since Amy is working in one of the bakery shop in hometown, so we were able to get a very freshly baked chocolate cake for the early celebration. It's just RM 32 for 1 kg only!

Mom said nowadays the trend is gold. So she was asking for gold from her students- daughters. Thus, her dream is not coming true. Perhaps next year might be possible. Mom just rang me up and she said she was at NanJing and there was no pandemic of swine flu over there...

My brithday is so soon! Turning 21 in 11 days~ Feel so excited. And so glad that sweetie is coming over to celebrate with me a few days ahead. And I am promised for good present and dine- in in my favourite restaurant for Japanese buffet! *excited*
So, by that time I think I will declare the real appearance of my sweetie~ Have been thinking a lot whether to reveal his identity or not.

Until this moment, I am feeling reluctant to prepare myself for a wave of responses. Call me over- sensitive. Yet, I bet for that!


*thinking deeply~~~~*

Baa baa~

Watch this!

Amazing how those (boring) shepherds manipulate those flocks of sheep to form into shapes. And, not to forget, the tiring dog- job! Have to run here-and-there to chase the naughty baa- baa!!!
