yays to nays.

whhhhhy hello there.

well well well. where to begin.

life was same old same old up till the 13th-17th where i went to Lanjut, Malaysia with my aunt's church for a retreat. it was aiiiight. there were about 5 ppl my age, and the rest were ahjummahs and ahjusshis (aunties/uncles) and halmunis and halobujeehs (g-mas/g-pas). but we were secluded on a golf/beach resort and the view was naice. buffet 3 times a day, and i slept almost after every meal. i surprised myself with how pro of a napper i am. damn. anyways, learned a couple of things here and there and other than that...it was just OK.

then the next trip was Tioman, Malaysia with my cousin and her colleagues on the 20th to 23rd. now this trip was bannnngin. sickkkkk beaches. we stayed at Nazri's Place and i definitely recommend this place to everyone. these resorts only run 6 months a year because apparently during the other half, the waters get really rough and it's just not safe for tourists. well, food was awesome. we were served like kings. and i snorkeled for the first time and LOVED it. saw so many cool fish and it was fun feeding them bread. there were times where i'd put the bread right in front of my face and they'd come swarming at me...like they were ready to kiss me. but then too many would bombard my face and i'll swim away screaming. taboo was the main game of the trip...many funny nights. and once again, i surprised everyone and myself, again, with my napping skills. i can sleep ANYWHERE, ANYTIME. i don't know what it is. maybe it's just Asia. but don't worry. i saw the sun all right. the only part of my body that isn't burnt is my...ass. it's as white as snow. serious. i look more philipino/malay/indian than ever. gaah. and man. my legs are disgustingly marked with mosquito bites here and there. sighs. but whatevs. it was def good timesssss.

today was my first day at the hospital.
soooo um. i dislike hospitals to begin with. they give me the feeling of...death. i'm working in the health screening department...psh whatever that means. basically i'm one of the counter girls who register patients and put away their pee and "stool" samples. the whole day, i was telling patients how to give the sample...without knowing what it was. but i just googled it. and um EW. anyways. all the other girls are malays and indians. mmmmmmm. i seem to fit right in. ya right! but the whole day was overwhelming. impatient patients, rude nurses, mean doctors...bah. i almost got yelled for misplacing a file until she realized she had it all along in her office. and she didn't even say sorry! geeze. but it was the longest 8 hours. ever. and um, yeah, i don't like how they all refer to me as Dr. Wong's niece. it's not the most satisfying feeling. oh well. i'm just going to take this as a time-filler and take it for what it is. ugh. i was comparing this to school just now...and i almost convinced myself that school was a lil more appealing than the hospital. :S

sighs.

so after watching Ktran's video of Joce videotaping her pack...i suddenly got really really sad. i still miss it. and everyone. it's been a little over 3 weeks, and it still hurts. maybe i just got a weak and sensitive heart (haha like since when right). but it's true! sighs. and i just had a friend email me of all the places she should go shop in HK and i can't even answer her. cause i don't know haha. um alikoh mall? but yeah. i greatly disappointed myself. 4.5 months there and i still don't know my way around. but that's like saying 20 years in TO and not knowing how to take the bus until 3 years ago.

and ahhh exchange report. um, it's like due in 6 days isn't it. soooo, yeah, not happening. yikes.

anyways. it's only 10 pm and i'm exhausted. i guess many early days to come now.

I MISS YOU =(
please comment so that i know you are all alive. ngoys ngoys.
