OnLy hAlF wiSe nOw >.<
Had very very terrible toothache these past few days.. It was so bad I felt like rolling on the floor... Serious...
In less than 3 days, I toOk 6 Rapidols (faster onset version of Panadol), 2 Ponstans (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) and 4 Panadols.. Til yesterday night, it was so painful I wanted to go to NUH.. instead i called up the nearest dental clinics.. ALL were fully booked! So, i made an appointment for today 5pm....
Had Pharmaceutical Analysis II paper in the morning... After the paper, the pain was so unbearable I called up the dental clinic to arrange for an earlier appointment.. Luckily there was a free slot at 2.30pm...
The dentist was out for lunch and only came back at 2.45pm.. -__-
Once he checked the condition of my wisdom tooth, which had a very big hole in it, he proceeded on to tell me the procedures... If the tooth cracked while he tried to push it out, he will have to do a minor surgery on it... to take out the root of the tooth... >.<
It will cost S$450! plus X-ray S$20
Luckily, all went well.. the tooth came out in no time.. the whole process took only about 20 minutes, including the waiting time for the anaesthetics to work...
The dentist was great! no pain, no blood.. not even painful now after the anaesthetic effects wear off... :)
Cost: S$126
Sigh.. still ate up a large sum of my money but it's the extraction of the wisdom tooth which would normally cost about RM350 (that's what i heard).. my friend did it for RM600!!
After I walked out of the clinic, I received an SMS from my boss that she had banked in my salary for the previous camp during the Good Friday period.. Well, just in time to pay for my dental fees... >.<>
I'm now left with 2 wisdom teeth out of the 4 that had grown all out..
Only half wise now...
Left with 2 exam papers.. One on Monday and one on Wednesday :)

Lessons learned
I learned many things today...
1. I ALWAYS (without fail) make wrong decisions... in EVERYTHING! >_<
2. People are selfish... including me.. I always want people to act the way I think they should act.. I think of myself first.. My welfare is the most important and I expect people to give in so that I can be happy.. I am selfish but so are you..
Even friends....
Today I learned... and I must remember... No one tells you the whole truth.. Behind everything that people say, there's a small white lie.. and some things are kept as secret... not to be shared even among closest friends... maybe not even among family members..
I read a book today and I found one nice quote in it,
" It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."
It was a good day and until now... now, it's just a big mess..

Start of Reading Week~
Reading week officially started...
Today, my future housemates and I went to sign the Tenancy Agreement with the landlord.. Got our queries answered by the landlord.. We are allowed to repaint the house..(^_^)v and drill holes to put wall shelves... We are getting the basic cable TV and also the Broadband... :)
We got our requested double decker bed in the Master bedroom too and this will certainly save space for our study tables... We are really excited to move in! :)
I finally got my ticket to watch Phantom of the Opera at Esplanade.. The first batch of student-priced tickets were sold out before I could grab them.. The second batch was almost sold out.. Then came the third batch and I finally got the ticket to the second last show! I am excited as my friends who had went to watch it gave good comments.. :)
Another thing I'm excited about now is the wedding of my ex-preceptor whom I worked under in Funan.. She's getting married on 07/07/07 and we (the 4 of us who worked under her) are invited! :)
Besides all the excitement during the summer holidays, I still need to concentrate and study hard for my final exams.. I finally realised the importance of my Cumulative Average Points (CAP) after 3 years in NUS! maybe a little too late but not totally late yet. So I shall need to work harder this reading week... :)

s.l.a.c.k.i.n.g~
^_^
Finished my Pharmacotherapy test today! Straight after that, we went to check the result of the previous Pharmacotherapy test.. Didn't do well.. :(
Oh well, it's in the past and nothing I can do to change it.. Was sad for a tiny little while only.. Went to eat McD for dinner just now and I bumped into an acquaintance.. someone I knew from the Harmonica Orchestra days.. someone I only knew by face.. Maybe talked to once or twice.. He reminded me of the winner of Project Superstar 2 (Singapore), Daren Tan.. So, I came back and googled Daren and "Friendster-ed" this acquaintance.. Haha..
Do you think they look alike? I personally think they do (at least in person).. But I sent this picture to 2 friends and they don't think they look alike.. maybe the eyes and the cheekbones only..
Well..
I had officially declared today as my last slacking day of the whole semester.. So, I came back from dinner and watch drama.. while Google-ing, Friendster-ing, photoshopping and online window shopping at IKEA.. I am looking for furnitures for my new place!
Have to get a study table with chair and maybe a bookshelf..
I like this study table! so nice! and it's the type that I want to get cause I can arrange my books at the top part and it has a drawer with it.. but it's expensive :(
Instead of that, I might be getting this-->
Simple looking, without the top shelf BUT cheaper.. 
To complement the white table, I plan to get this white chair too :)
And isn't it nice to complement the study table and chair with a nice, white bookshelf too?
Like this one above... so nice! BUT again, expensive...
Instead, we may be getting this ...
Plain and brown but cheaper.. and taller..
And we plan to get this mirror too.. :)
To add to the nice feel of our room, CMi and I had decided to get this nice, white toilet brush too! which is only $1.80 (shared by 3 person--> $0.60/person!) *LOLx*
Shall go get my laundry now and continue my slacking! :)

Almost at peace~
The only 2 pictures i took in camp... Light sticks tied together, and then tied to a tripod to be the mock campfire...
.jpg)
.jpg)
The 3 days 2 nights I was in camp, it rained on all 3 afternoons! Thus, we had to have an indoor campfire instead of an outdoor one... Luckily, we shifted the Outdoor Cooking to lunch instead of the usual dinner... The rain came just when we were packing up and closing the pits..
Camp was O.K.
I'm still not very good at being a trainer.. I shall improve in the next camps... Boss said I should be more fierce! >_<
And the kids just can't get my name right.. one even spelled my name as "hua xing"! o_O like flower heart 花心! I should get a "glamour" name eh.. haha..
Anywayz, tomorrow will be my last test.. and another quiz on Friday... Then it's the start of Reading Week.. and soon, my 3rd year in Pharming will end... Starting Year 4 soon.. scary thought! o_O
Today, my class rep gave me a soft pat on my head and asked me to relax.. don't get too uptight about things....
I looked very stressed up recently I guess.. :(
I'm O.K now... although very reluctant and all, I had finally finalised my 3 months' break plan...
We'll be moving house on 4th of May- to Clementi Avenue 1 (house-warming in Aug!)... followed by camps in Singapore, Malacca and KL... then, hospital attachment in Alexandra Hospital starts on 25th June til 5th August... in between, I'll try to find time to go home and see my family.. and maybe right before I start school, I shall go back one more time...
For now, it's time to "camp" in the libraries... :)
Lee Hom's pic for Thunder to cheer her up when she visits my blog.. take care, yea! x(>_<)x

In camp~
I'll be in camp somewhere in Lim Chu Kang or Kranji area.. from 6th April (Good Friday) to 8th April (Sunday)....
Anyway, I'd decided to exchange my hospital attachment place in NUH with a place in Alexandra Hospital (AH)... NUH is actually a good deal... AH just sounds and looks remote... and from what I'd heard, I'll probably need to do 6 projects for the 6 weeks I'm there... Well.. I exchanged such a good deal for a meal at N.Y.D.C.
Stupid me? Maybe...
Hate decision-making! >_<

Suwan and I in the bus.. after watching Nada Sou Sou~
When you are going to cry, pinch your nose... it works.. I tried.... Nowadays, tears seemed to flow very freely down my face.... Is it the tremendous amount of stress I put on myself? I'm not sure...
I was so tired today, I fell asleep on my table face down... for about half an hour! totally unconscious... no feeling of uncomfortable or numbness.. I woke up feeling really numb in the brain.. and the room seemed to be swirling...
I had my usual dose of coffee today.. But I still went unconscious... KY advised me to see the doctor.. It seems that I'm having some kind of sleeping disorder? Cause when somnolence hits me, it's really bad.. It's uncontrollable and I'll just sink into deep sleep wherever I was at that moment...
Really tired... tired of life...
My Chinese class lecturer talk about the meaning of life today.. after watching the movie "Confessions of Pain" by Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Takeshi Kaneshiro... the lead actor did not value his life anymore after he witnessed his whole family being brutally killed by gangsters.. He planned his revenge for many years and successfully carried out his plans.. He killed his family's murderer... But in the end, he committed suicide.. He has no more reason to carry on living.. he lost all his family members, including his wife... Life's no longer bearable...
Pain... so scary but so real...
Many of us are lucky to have families that care about us .. Life becomes bearable and worthwhile...
Misses my dad, mom, sisters, niece and nephew :)

I am SAD
I cried twice today...
Once in the cinema... once in my room...
Watched "Nada Sou Sou" (Tears For You)... It was such a sad show! I couldn't help but cry in the cinema.. I think this is my first time crying in the cinema... The lead actor is very cute! and the actress is cute too.. and they were so happy in the beginning... amidst all the hardship...
Sad ending... :(
This was my dinner before the movie... at Chicago Steakhouse in Orchard Cathay Cineleisure... Biggest spring chicken I had ever seen! the couple at the next table was impressed by it too! I think the guy wished he had ordered this cause his fish and chips look little compared to this... .jpg)
I finished the whole chicken... o_O
Luckily, I wasn't wearing anything tight... If not, it would have burst open...
Had the Oreo milkshake too which is rather nice.. thick and creamy.. :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My friend told me I had been acting weird these few days.. I had been talking strangely.. typing strange conversations on MSN... Signs of stress?
I had been bugged by a lot of problems recently and most of the time, I'll be thinking about one problem or another.. That is the reason I had been acting and talking strangely... My mind is just not on a single thing at a time anymore.. Today, thunder was talking to me in lecture and I stared past her.. not hearing a single thing she said... Cause I was thinking about something else...
My brain had been working extra hard nowadays.. thinking about things and people and events... I will never understand everyone, I realised...
That's why I am so sad tonight that I cried in my room... I realised that it is a sad fact that we can never understand everyone and not everyone can understand you... Whatever that is done or decided, someone will get hurt in the process...
So sad, I cried...

Almost perfect~
Today, I finally finished my Continuous Assessments marathon! :D
Before the Pharmaceutical Analysis test today, we received the hospital attachment posting. I got my FIRST choice! A lot of people (I daresay most of my coursemates) indicated National University Hospital(NUH) as their first choice. NUH is only taking in 3 students in the first batch and 2 students in the second batch.... And I got into NUH 1st batch... o_O
I should be really happy except the fact that now,I wants to work in the second batch... Why do I like to make stupid decisions that further complicates my life? Sigh...
I applied for 1st batch initially because I wanted to join a summer program in the second half of my 3 months holidays...At that time, I was torn between taking a risk in case I got into the program or forgoing the summer program and work in camps before the attachment.. One involves spending extra money while the latter involves earning money.. But desire ruled and I opted for the first shift just in case I got into the summer program... However, I was not shortlisted for the program...
So, now I am stuck with hospital attachment in the 1st batch and no job in the 2nd half... I can go look for a job for the 2nd half of the holiday but I have a job waiting for me, just not at the right time.. Money waiting for me to earn them... My only hope now is to exchange with a coursemate... The thing that is holding me back from exchanging is the fact that I got into NUH... After hearing many different opinions, I guess I'm rather open to exchange now.. Even if it means going to Singapore General Hospital (SGH), which is very good BUT stressful! o_O
Anyway, the GOOD news is we had found ourselves a new HOME! :D
KY, Thunder, CMi, Bird, Ebi and I planned to move out in June... After calling numerous agents, we finally went to view a house on Saturday... It was at Tiong Bahru, and we like the location because it has direct bus to NUS, it's near MRT station and it has buses to town... The building looks good too and it has coffeeshops, foodcourt and market nearby.. But the house itself was not satisfactory.. The rooms were BIG! but the place was so dirty and messy.. has a small kitchen and only ONE bathroom! *sigh*
And the agent insisted that we move in April.. the latest we are allowed to move in is 15th April! That's the start of our reading week... We decided not to rent the place in the end...
Today, we were suppose to view a unit in Clementi and another in Choa Chu Kang... After viewing the Clementi unit, we rather like it.. The location was good cause it's really near NUS... it's near to MRT.. accessible by buses...and the Best thing is the owner allows us to move in May... the only bad thing about it is the master bedroom is rather small for 3 person to share.. It's just big enough for the beds and wardrobe.. So, we would have to study in the living room or dining room..
After much discussion and looking around, we'd decided to rent the place! We'll be moving in May, after our last examination paper on 2nd May... :D
Finally settled the problem of finding for a place to stay next semester!
Except the minor problem of hospital attachment, the day was almost perfect :)
-The Monday which seemed like a Friday :) -
