Anyone interested in the upcoming Notre Dame de Paris musical at the Singapore Indoor Stadium? Tickets are at $298, $198, $158, $118 and $68. It's on from 3rd November to 19th November. I have a limited number of discounted tickets for every category except the $298 one. So if anyone wants to watch the show, don't buy from Sistic! Get it from me! XD

Shift was at 6.45 again. I absolutely adore this shift! Time just seems to fly. But morning was really hectic. I got all frazzled, till Usha and Linda was like, okok, go sit at the counter and rest. ㅠㅠ

I got accosted by an old man in the corrider. He had no idea where to go, and when I asked him for his appointment card, he started talking about everything else BUT the appointment card. -___-" When I managed to get his appointment card, I realised the place he wanted to go was at the other end of the building. So ok, I told him, and I walked him there. For every step he took, 5 minutes went by [ok, I'm exaggerating, but seriously, it felt like that]. He stopped to take breathers every 6 steps. So I offered to help him carry his bag. HE REFUSED. And I offered again to bring a wheelchair for him. NO. Then he starts complaining that he's an old man and how can the hospital do this to him blabla -___-" He finally caught sight of a wheelchair after 20 minutes of crawling. Then he demanded a wheelchair. Ok, I got for him one. Wheeled him to the destination in less than a minute. Then the nurse at the clinic realised, HE WAS 2 MONTHS LATE FOR HIS APPOINTMENT. o_0 He didn't get it. He still kept insisting on seeing the doctor [when the doctor was on leave], and he just kept staring at his name on the sticky label. -____-"

I fell sick nearing the end of my shift, so I left work early. Luckily the pharmacy was just a few steps away. I went for my doctor's appointment too, and I got referred to another doctor by my doctor -___-" So I have to go back again. What the hell.

Friday

I fell sick, so I didn't go to work. He found out that I was sick... and he got food for me (>.<) Tempura udon. (>.<) I told him not to come down, but in the end, he came down as a surprise. And frankly, I was really touched.

Slow me only found out Saturday was the Halloween's party at night. I had utterly no costume! Panic ensued- then I decided that I shall rush to find something on Saturday.

Saturday

I rushed down to Far East to get some semblance of a costume with Murdoc. And I bumped into Chevie!! Too bad I couldn't stay and talk because I had to rush back home again. My uncle was coming to pick me up to go church with him and my cousins. I finally met Jeremy after like - I don't know - decades?? Hahaha the church was called Lighthouse Evangelist, and I went for the miracle service where sick people get healed by God, and they give their testimonials. I fell asleep during the sermon ^^" oops.

I went back home to change, and went straight to MoS. I didn't manage to take any full-bodied pictures! So sad! All the Vietnamese girls went, including Minoo and 승민 [the mama ^^] and him... The moment he appeared, I got so shy I stopped dancing (>.<) I only started dancing properly when he left for a short while, but when he got back, I just bobbed to the music. Hahaha I was so shy!!! (>.<) There was this point of time when it was so ironic though. These 2 guys, after dancing really close to me for a long time [and even trying to hold my hips to dance!!! I started crying for Murdoc and she smacked his hand away LOL], decided to talk to me, right in front of him. And they blocked his path. Hahaha I had to say like, can you move away? Then I pulled him in. AND BLOODY MINOO TOLD HIM MY BLOG ADDRESS!!! I was pinching/hitting/kicking that stupid guy. OMG- he was like asking me, you can remember what I ordered that night?? HOW EMBARASSING! I just felt like digging a hole in the middle of MoS and stick my head inside or something. ㅠㅠ Oh yes. I have to thank Mike for signing me in to MoS, but I didn't even get to see him the entire night because he kept disappearing! I even went to the dance floor to search for him, but he wasn't there. -___-" I didn't manage to say thank you :(( I made new friends too. Leon and Dylan. Dylan was interested in Hien [I think], but I don't think the feeling was returned. Haha Hien gave Dylan a fake name [Cecilia] and after Hien left, Dylan was asking me, where's Cecilia? I was like, who's Cecilia?? Hahahahaha

I was really tired, so I left early. He left with me, and we went to 7-11 to get some water and food. On the way, we met Lei, Net and this other guy. It was so awkward. Net was looking, and I started hiding behind the pillar. Man- of all the times to bump into him. Bahh- Anyways, the both of us hung around the bridge, where a cat started tailing us. SO FUNNY! He was so scared of the cat!! But actually, I felt pity for the cat. It looked so lonely... Anyways, he sent me home again :)) He smells nice too (>.<) I like his cologne (>.<) shyshyshy.

I had a super weird dream about Justin and Bei. I dreamt that Justin was some rock star, and his hair was dyed light purple. Bei went crazy over his hair, but he kept touching it and saying, "I look ugly." And Justin was really tall in that dream. Like 1 head taller than me.

Work was so lame today. The shredder died on us, so I became the shredder of the day. I just sat beside the dustbin and shredded paper -___-" I managed to flip through some casenotes, and I came across one with a police report. I got curious, so I read through everything. Turns out, he OD-ed. Overdose on benzodiazepines when he was 40. I wondered what made him took that drastic step... I got kind of emotional, and I started crying in the Medical Officer's room. Luckily I was the only one there...

I was walking along the corrider as I was leaving work, AND I GOT PICKED UP BY A PRIMARY SCHOOL KID. I'm like, I'm 19 and you are 12!!! That cheeky kid could still say, "姐弟恋". My god- kids nowadays. [I sound like I'm some 60 year old granny ^^"]

Cupid wanted to give him a little surprise, but it didn't work out ^^

He sent me to work today! We were so shy in the cab, we just stared out of the windows and kept quiet. He managed some small talk like, asking me whether my uniform is white. Haha (>.<)

Anyways, work was hectic today. The moment I stepped into the ward, I got bombarded. So much so my mind just went blank. I felt like a headless chicken walking around. I stared at everyone with this blur look, and everything they said I just went "huh?". It got better when I came back from my lunch break. I got to sit behind the counter and happily sort out casenotes. Yay- I even managed to steal pink guava juice from the patients' food! Hehe- and some cookies from the staff's pantry. Yumyum. But my shift sucks today. 11-8. What the hell. Time passed like a snail's crawl. Luckily Sister went off early, then the other nurses let me slacked. So I stole more cookies hahahaha ;p

Rei bboyed at 21:40

I finally met Jei! She came to pick me up to go Far East together! I gave her her present [a really soft, ULTRA adorable teddy bear], and I got mine - star earrings! XD However, I realised I forgot to bring my wallet when we reached Far East ^^" I was rushing out of the house because Jei was already downstairs.

We ate at the Korean restaurant at Level One. 발찬, 불고기, 닭고기 and 김치볶음밥. I noticed this really familiar-looking Korean lady sitting across us. I kept staring till we finished our meal. I continued doing so while walking by, and she turned to look. And she stared. And both of us went "OHHHHHH!!!!!" Hahahahahahaha she was Jinnie!!! She grabbed my hand and I started jumping happily. I thought she went back to Korea!! I called 지원 some time ago, but they told me she quitted her job and went back to Korea. I was ultra disappointed because it meant I had to find another hairdresser and it's hard to find a good one whom you can talk to. She told me she left 지원 because her friend started a new hair salon, and she's now the director over there! I'm so going there from now onwards! She was ultra happy to see me again! She said she missed me! HAHAHAHA I missed her too ㅠㅠ She said I became thinner [That's so DUH.] and that I've grown prettier [Yay!]. Too pretty till she couldn't recognise me. HAHA I think it's really fate that I got to meet her again ^^ Maybe we are destinied to know each other forever! Haha I'm being so lame. But I'm just really glad to see her.

Cupid called, so Jei and I went over to Lido McCafe to meet him. Stupid Jei ganged up with cupid to bully me. And she was still complaining about meeting strangers before we went to Lido. WHAT THE HELL. Actually, I just wanted her to see him. Teehee- Jei said he's cute XD But Jei was so mean to be cupid's partner-in-crime. They kept teasing the both of us ㅠㅠ I was so shy I think I only glanced at him like less than 5 times (>.<) And for some reason, he kept stepping on me, or kicking my shoe. Like hello, does my shoe looks like part of the table or something? He didn't even realised -___-"

He sent me home again, with Jei taking the bus. Jei! Why! You could have insist on going home with me!! He stuffed my bag with sweets his parents bought from Hong Kong. He even called when I reached home to say goodnight ^^ I'm dying from shyness overload. GAHH

My shift for today was at a wee hour of 6.45am! He wanted to send me to work, but he was late. Hahaha I even managed to scare Gina and Sister early in the morning! XD I think I look too much like a ghost ^^" Cecilia sneaked a Ferrero Rocher for me too :)) I was so happy! But that mood just fell when I saw the casenotes for wednesday. SO MANY DENTAL CASES! All those damn NS men taking advantage of MCPS. Dental costs like, $950, but they only pay $4 for 20% of the bed charge. Like what the hell man. Cecilia started nagging at me, and I was dying to get out. Luckily for me, work ended at 3.45! Yay!

I dozed off the minute I reached home [too tired ^^"] when around 6, he called me. He wanted to meet for dinner at Clarke Quay, and that he was coming to pick me up. In the end, he changed his mind and we went to Suntec instead. I was quick enough to fish out my wallet first and paid the cab driver, BUT THAT BLOODY ASS OF A DRIVER REFUSED MY MONEY. The driver went, "Ladies pay?" and he was like, "Yeah uncle! You know the rules man!" And he paid. x_x How can that cab driver refused my money! It's still money! GAHHH-

He was looking for the Korean restaurant, but he forgot the way HAHA. So we ate at Chongqing instead. I had absolutely no idea of what to do, so he was cooking for me throughout dinner. I didn't even know what to order. The menu had disgusting things like some animal's liver, bull's tongue, some stomach... you get the picture. I was so full after I finished my tiny bowl of rice with some veggies, crabsticks and beef strips. I was going to call it a day when he waved the waiter over and ordered 4 more plates of fish paste, 7 HUGE prawns, 3 plates of beef, 1 plate of fish cakes, 1 plate of spinach noodles, and 6 PLATES CHOKED FULL OF GREEN VEGETABLES. I stared at the amount of food for the longest time, till he asked why. I was like, are you sure you can finish everything?! He started telling me happily about how his friends can have 6 rounds of what he just ordered. My jaw dropped. And I wanted to pay for my half of the bill, but he beat me to it again. He just got up suddenly [I thought he was heading to the washroom], and when he came back, he just said, "Ok. Let's go." (>.<) He has such a medieval attitude towards girls.

So we walked around Suntec, hung out at the fountain and stared at messages flashing on the waterfall. After a while, he brought me to Clarke Quay. He wanted to go to some place in IndoChine, but apparently, it was closed. He suggested going to bars [I can't drink], playing pool [I'm wearing a skirt], playing GMAX [Again, I'm wearing a skirt], taking the boat ride [That's so dumb! I've been living in Singapore for so long! The merlion is so not interesting!], riding trishaw [I would if I was with my friends, because we would laugh at how stupid we probably look]. He started telling me how after clubbing at MoS, there wasn't any cabs to take his friends and him. So they took a trishaw instead. I laughed like a mad dog! Who takes trishaw for transportation now?!

He sent me home again. I feel really bad that he treated me the entire night. I didn't even get to pay a single cent. :(( And I found out that he likes Doraemon! Just like my brother! HAHA he likes those kiddy-themed animes. He even finds Inuyasha's theme too matured. Tellytubbies, Hi5, Powerpuff Girls, Astroboy, Sailormoon, Doraemon... those are the shows he liked. Come to think of it, I wonder if he liked Power Rangers. I was so crazy over Yellow Ranger when I was 7. HAHA

I'm back from my photoshoot. It was really, really, really fun!

I did my makeup in this van. It was kind of funny because Lydia was attending to my every whim and fancy. She kept asking me whether I was thirsty, whether I was hot, et cetera. We went to Fisherman's Wharf for the photoshoot. The photographer [I forgot his name ^^" oops.] was really nice and kept telling me how to pose, to smile, to look wherever he wants me to look at. There were a few times he told me to look at him sideways, extremely sideways, and I had to stay in that position for like, a minute? My eyes went crazy after that.

My partner for the day came. His name is Ian. He was shortlisted for the Manhunt Singapore finals [or so Lydia told me]. He was SERIOUSLY buffed up!! I looked like a midget just standing beside him. He took his individual shots before we had couple shots. IT WAS SO FUNNY! We were supposed to act normal, like we were dating kind of thing. So we had to chat like our date is SO interesting, while the photographer kept blinding us with his flashes. We just kept laughing because the situation was so awkward! We had to sit really close, and I was kind of uncomfortable because he was so near, so I kept giggling. Then he laughed at my shyness because he's so used to doing such things. We started talking crap, like how our faces are cramped from smiling so much, how our hands were tired from holding the wine glasses [filled with ribena HAHAHAHA], how stupid we probably looked. There was even one shot of me trying to arm-wrestle him. Like how dumb! Look at his BULGING biceps. Look at my puny arms. The photographer messed up my hair [I was supposed to look like "a crazy woman", as quoted from him] and made me pose like I'm having a really hard time trying to arm-wrestle him. I had to stay in that position for another minute again. My face is seriously cramped now.

Photos will be burned for me in a disc, so I will probably meet Lydia again soon! All 4 of us exchanged contacts before we left ^^ And I think all artistic people have weird habits. HAHA my photographer had cute weird habits! Anyways, I'm kind of annoyed by the glitter the makeup artist dabbed over my eyes. It's not going away!

I met Kei at Kinokuniya to get her Japanese book. She was dressed so preppily! I love it! Onon Darling should dressed like that too. And I decided I'm psychic. Before I even asked her where she wanted to eat, I already knew the answer - MOS Burger HAHAHA! We went to the arcade at Cineleisure after dinner and played lame games. Kei's coins were those old coins, so we were supposed to change them, but the guy gave us 12 credits for the machine which we were playing. 12 credits! We were totally hard-pressed to finish it! Golf, Yuming [Golf's boyfriend] and Zixiu came halfway! Kei and I were so excited to see Golf, we were hugging her in the middle of Time Zone and chatting happily with them. So happy till we totally forgot we were playing a game. When we remembered and turned back, GAME OVER. We ran out of time. HAHAHAHA so lame.

We went to TCC and yakked away. Yuming is SO nice to Golf!! I'm so jealous! He actually paid for her air ticket to Singapore, and all her expenses! He has been flying to and fro to Bangkok just to see her too! He's not one of those rich kids, so he actually got a part-time job so that he can earn money to see her! Golf is so lucky to find a guy who loves her that much! Zixiu's pretty much the same - her laughter is still so infectious! XD We were supposed to go Rouge to club, but all of us decided to chill at TCC instead. We found clubbing kind of meaningless. I mean, we go there, and we have to shout to get our messages across. Like what's the point? Golf's only here in Singapore once a year, and of course we would talk alot. Mike was asking me to go MoS though. He said he had already signed me in, so if I go, I wouldn't have to pay a cent. I felt kind of tempted to go after Yuming and Golf went home, but I remembered I have a photoshoot tomorrow. Dang. Anyways, I think I'm meeting Golf and Yuming tomorrow again. We are going to KTV with Yuming's friends.

Kei, Golf and me at TCC :))

Yesterday was learning how to make ketupat satay; today was ketupat bawang. Ketupats are seriously difficult to make. It's so tedious! With a few swift flicks of fingers, Fadillah gets the ketupats into shape. I have to labouriously toil over it. Yang Hua and Gina were amazed though. Yang, as she prefers us to call her as that, said she has absolutely no talent in handicrafts. Gina, a Filipino, complained hers wasn't as pretty as mine and demanded that I make one for her. And I stole food from the staff pantry! I was so hungry! I started poking around in the fridge, and I found Oreo cookies! After checking no one was around, I stole 2 cookies! Teehee- I was such a happy girl after that. I should start stealing from the patients pantry soon. They have an amazing variety of food stocked up for them!

After work, I rushed straight home to prepare for The Date. I can't believe I forgot to take pictures! I was wearing a dress! A blue, pin-striped, empire dress! So the both of us, with the help of "cupid", were at McCafe eating the sushi he bought for us. I was so shy! (>.<) I got even worse when "cupid" decided to dump us and go home. ㅠㅠ We went to Lido and watched World Trade Center. It was SO SAD! I nearly cried in the cinema! He was being kind of amusing though. Because I was so shy till I didn't touch the popcorn, he kept offering popcorn to me. Throughout the whole movie. HAHA he was nice to send me home after the movie too, even though he lives all the way in Braddell.

Don't know what else to say. ONON DARLING said I walked like a duck. Quack.

I learnt how to make ketupat[no idea what's the spelling.] from Fadillah! We were trying to decorate the ward for Hari Raya. We had no idea what to decorate for Deepavali though. Su Ling, another nurse, suggested candles.

Anyways, there were many endo [endoscopy] patients today. Which means, there were plenty of elderly people. I was happily helping this old man to his assigned chair, when he decided to burp into MY face. I caught a whiff of stale coffee breath. Urgh. There was no "excuse me" or "sorry". How rude. But because he's old, and probably senile, I forgave him. And I flipped through their casenotes. Imagine my horror when I saw graphic photos of their intestines/colon. I wonder if mine looks just as disgusting.

"Follow me to the bed."

That was what I told the hot-blooded MALE patient coming in. As soon as those words left my mouth, I knew I sounded DAMN wrong. He realised. AND HE LAUGHED. Oh. My. God. How embarassing!! And I couldn't get those damn beds to work too. I can't seem to lift the side railing off. I struggled for a long time, with patients even offering to help, but the both of us couldn't get it to work too. In the end, the nursing officer [for some reason, they call her 'Sister'. Makes me feel like I'm in a nunnery.] told me I need lessons on how to operate the bed.

Anyways, I'm working in a day surgery ward, which is supposed to be easier than other wards because patients here don't stay overnight. They check in in the morning, healthy and able-bodied, run through some checkups, go for the operation, come back to rest, and off they go. I'm learning so many new medical terms! And about those infamous unintelligible handwriting of doctors? It's true.

He likes me!

정신 잘해봐!!!

He used to be from St Francis too. He's tall, fair and is quite a pretty boy. But it's so shocking that he likes me now! He's like, the most unexpected guy to like me! No wonder he suddenly added me to both his friendster and MSN. And now, he wants to send me to my first day of work tomorrow! OH MY GOD!!

And yes, I'm starting work tomorrow at a hospital! Yippee! I'm happy because I love that hospital, and I don't have to bore myself out lying in bed all day. Though I seriously suspect The Mother got me the job so that doctors can keep an eye on me all day long. But I hate getting jobs through connections. I didn't even go through an interview. Now, I can't slack on the job because it would reflect badly on The Mother's friend, and thus, The Mother.

I just woke up again yet I'm still feeling so tired. And I think I should blog about yesterday in more details than just glazing over it.

I WAS DRESSED LIKE A FREAKING BIMBO. right. I've already mentioned it, BUT! Here's the picture.

I was forced to. And apparently, Vincent was drooling over me. HAHA and my "hot" legs. Either he's blind... or he's blind. I mean, no one, absolutely no one, has ever said my legs were hot. I was so embarassed wearing like that and walking about, so I had my shades on. I didn't want to see anyone I know and let them recognise me! But Onon Darling was complaining that I looked stupid wearing shades in shopping centres, so I had to take it off ㅠㅠ. Anyways, I was basically walking ALL OVER town in heels [that explains the multiple blisters]. Takashimaya, Cineleisure, Wheelock, Far East, Lido, Wisma. That was how we travelled. In the end, we were so tired we just slacked outside wisma where we people-watched.

Murdoc came and picked me up to go MoS, all the while gushing about how cute Onon Darling was. That's why she's my girlfriend! HAHA! Onon Darling was going to a pub with Vincent, so she couldn't come. Smoove was HOT; I love the cage. I got cornered at one point, and I had to grab the cage to dance. The guys standing outside the cage were staring till like, they were boring holes in me. I just fled after 5 minutes. Murdoc was nice enough to fend off the guys trying to dance with me. We made new friends on the dance floor, and the guy was offering us a drink at the VIP side. That got me depressed, because I can't drink ANYMORE. I was so tempted to take a sip or 2 ㅠㅠ damn liver. Damn medicine. Damn tachycardia. I left the club after like, 1 hour? No alcohol = boring.

Rei bboyed at 20:02

I just called Aria and admitted alot of things to her. Instead of scolding me, she just said ok. Suddenly my heart is blossoming with so much love for her! Aren't I glad I have her as my best friend! Thanks for listening to me, for being my punching bag, for comforting me, for being here, for so many many many things. You're a saint.

Rei bboyed at 14:15

I felt like such a BIMBO yesterday. Thank god for sunglasses. It keeps my identity in secret. But for that spilt second when I took off my shades, I bumped into - guess who - KELVIN. His eyes were seriously like 0_0! I'm so not kidding. And I have a million and one blisters on my toes now. EFFING heels. I burst one accidentally yesterday, and GOD! IT WAS PAINFUL! But my terribly aching feet countered against the pain. And while trying desperately to calm myself from the pain, I happily stabbed my eye with a cotton bud swathed in alcohol. DOUBLE OUCH. Anyways, I suddenly felt like the luckiest girl in the world to have long hair! It was so gorgeously tied-up yesterday. Hurray for The Mother! I'm so random today. Maybe it's the post-effects of dressing like a bimbo yesterday, therefore having to act like one.

My bad internet connection is driving me crazy! I would have swore off internet entirely, had it not been that I'm hopelessly enslaved to it. GAHH- it's been this bad ever since I got back home. It's freaking annoying, more so now because I was happily webcamming with friends but MSN signs me OUT. and in. and out. and in. I got so pissed, I typed "rei hates msn" in the personal message. MSN promptly signed me out. Bahh.

Night loves me, but I love day. Woe is me, for unrequited love is pain. The freaking sun is so dazzling, it hurts my eyes. Seriously stabbing knife-in-eye hurt. I nearly fell into the pool while walking around with my eyes closed. Shades are no longer an accessory; they are a necessity.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~

I'm a happy girl! Oh yes I am! There really IS such thing as retail therapy! The Mother, in an attempt to cheer me up, brought me out to shop. I thought it was a rather lame attempt, but the more I shopped, the higher my mood went! We went to Vivocity yesterday and boy, was I like a hurricane that swept into shops and rummaged everything! Every shop I went to, I walked out with bags. In the end, I was laden with so many bags, I didn't bother going to Topshop, Guess?, nor EDC Espirit. Each shop I went to, I picked like more than 10 pieces of clothes to try. By the nth number of shops, I was SUPER tired. My stamina is failing me now. But I went home a happy girl. I even managed to get 2 pairs of nice shoes, and 1 thick black belt! I'm not really a belt kind of girl, but it was too pretty to resist! I bought those hair things too. Those curler, straightener, crimper et cetera set. AND I GOT A PRETTY WEBCAM! It's so adorable! It's sitting so cutely on top of my laptop screen now, peering at me like a curious black orb. I'm so going to take a million and one haduri-styled pictures!! Don't ask me how much I spent though - I think my dad's going to flip when he receives the bill.

Bei, I so agree with you. Singapore is such a small place. I just found out that Pauline Lim [yes, THAT Pauline from hockey] is my cousin's friend too.

This week has been quite a pleasant surprise - I've found many long-lost friends, including these 4 that deserves a mention here.

Xinhui - When I was in primary school, my parents didn't have any time for me. I was unceremoniously dumped in a day care centre where my maid would pick me up after 6 plus. Xinhui was in the day care centre too, and it so happened that she was in the same class as me from primary 1-3. We automatically became fast friends, together with this other girl named Xue Ni. Xinhui used to be REALLY chubby, and now she's soooooo slim. Gosh- I nearly couldn't recognise her. I'm really glad I found her. I still have a picture I took with all my close friends in primary school in my room :)) I wish I can see Xue Ni too, though.

Jin Hong - He was in my primary 4 class, and according to him, he sat behind me. I have absolutely no recollection of that, but then again, I don't even remember who sat beside me ^^" But he slimmed down too! His face used to be so round! It's not fair! I still have all these stupid baby fats on my cheeks that refused to go away. ARGH. Another proof that Singapore is small - Claryce knows him too.

Jessica and Yi Shan - I'm not really close to them, but they are worth mentioning because they are MARRIED. Married as in, legally, walked-down-the-aisle married, not I'm-in-a-relationship-so-I-set-my-status-as-married-for-fun married. They are even expecting their babies soon! A baby girl for Jessica, and a baby boy for Yi Shan. Like seriously, WHAT THE HELL. Life can be so unfair sometimes. Boohoo ㅠㅠ I'm a green monster on a rampage here. ARGH- how lucky can some girls get!! To have found a guy whom they love and vice versa, to start a happy family with the guy... at 19! I want to settle down and live happily ever after with a guy I love, and who loves me too ㅠㅠ

I found my cousin's friendster profile! I haven't seen him in ages - I can't even recall the last time I saw him. His name is Jeremy, and he's born on Valentine's day. HAHA He's the same age as me, and boy, HE IS BLOODY HARDWORKING AND SMART. For PSLE, his score was a freakin 267 - mine was a FAR 237. My only excuse was that I didn't study. Bahh. He landed himself in R.I., got into triple science there, probably graduated with straight As [I didn't even dare to ask about his O level results], became a student at VJC, and is chums now with the president's scholar -jaw drops- I think he's in the navy now or something. He could probably be one of Singapore's most eligible bachelor when he's in in 20s. I mean, he's smart, he's CUTE [I had a crush on him when I was young... very young!], he's nice, and he comes from a good christian family. What more can you ask for in a guy? But his mom is really strict. -shudders- I'm glad my parents aren't anything like her. Sure, they got tuition teachers for me, but at least they let me rebelled, albeit a little reluctantly. I don't think that the word 'rebel' even exists in my aunt's dictionary. Plus, you should see the number of tuition teachers my cousin had - one for every subject! Still, it was nice to catch up with him. He was pretty shocked at my transformation though. I think he still remembers the time when he was arguing with a tomboy, dressed in oversized tee and jeans complete with short, cropped hair, over which was the better sport - Basketball, or hockey.

And will someone explain to me why is it so freaking cold now?? Aren't we in an era of global warming? Coupled with the haze now, shouldn't the weather be twice as hot?? Jeez- I'm being chilled to the bones every single day.

So that explains the sudden growth spurt of lanugo hairs! Bahh- the body's pathetic attempt to ensure body heat by creating an insulated layer of air. It is totally of no use. Luckily for me, there's such things as sweaters. It just seems that the weather turned cold all of a sudden recently. Or is it just me?

Anyways, a kind individual tagged on my blog and said he/she lost 10kg after being on fluoxetine. I am shocked beyond words. I was already an anorexic 42kg before i started taking fluoxetine. Am I supposed to weigh 32kg in the near future?!

OH MY GOD. I WEIGH A *&^%$#@ 39KG!!

I'm officially anorexic. Yes, I'm suffering from anorexia, BUT! Strictly speaking, anorexia is different from anorexia nervosa.

Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes an eating disorder characterised by low body weight and body image distortion. Which means, people suffering from anorexia nervosa think they are obese, and thus abstain from food in order to slim down.

Anorexia is just a medical term for reduced appetite.

I got my BMI checked, and it was only a tiny 15! [The bare minimum for healthy BMI is 18.5] Took a look at the chart for healthy weight, and I realised I'm a good 14 kg off the minimum for healthy weight. Gee- I'm losing weight faster than you can say elephantitis. I could probably feature myself in some stickman cartoons or something. Or be TIMES covergirl for Africa.

Ooh- I found out more information today! So the new drug I'm taking is called Fluoxetine, or Fluoxetine Hydrochloride, one of the SSRIs, or Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. So I went to ask around for some kind of enlightenment on SSRIs. I managed to get a faint idea, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Messages are passed between 2 nerve cells through this little gap called the synapse, or synapse cleft, in the brain. The nerve cell that sends the message, or presynpatic cell, releases neurotransmitters into the synapse. Receptors on the receiving cell, or postsynaptic cell, pick up the neurotransmitters, then relays the message. However, during the whole process, about 10% of the neurotransmitters are gone. The other 90%, after being released from postsynaptic cell, will be taken by something called monoamine transporters, which will send the neurotransmitters back to the presynaptic cell. That process is called reuptake.

So why am I on fluoxetine? More explanation.

Serotonin, or 5-hydroxytryptamine, or just 5-HT, is part of the neurotransmitters I was talking about in the above paragraph. However, the effects of serotonin are difficult to ascertain. It does seem to metabolise stress hormones, and is thought to affect mood, appetite, sleep, sexuality and vomitting. Serotonin is also supposedly able to make you feel comforted, or a general sense of well-being. So fluoxetine, being part of the SSRIs, stops serotonin from being part of the reuptake process. Instead, it lets serotonin to keep flowing in the synapse, thus allowing more stimulation of the receptors.

This means, I have high levels of serotonin in my synapse, so I'm supposed to feel better! So wrong. It usually takes several weeks for one to feel the effects, reasons which I am lazy to explain here because I will be launching into yet another medical explanation. Unfortunately, individuals respond differently to fluoxetine, and there are a plethora of known side effects.

Nausea, Vomitting
Headaches
Anxiety, Rage, Irritability
Insomnia, Drowsiness
Loss of appetite, Weight loss, Weight gain
Vasculitis, or inflammation of the blood vessels.
Skin rashes, Itching
Increased blood pressure
Akathisia, or the feeling of extreme restlessness [There has been cases of patients dashing out of wards and jumping off hospital buildings because of this! Gasps-]
Trembling, Overall weakness
Anorgasmia, or inability to achieve orgasm, Decrease in sexual drive [not like it affects me ^^"]

There are a couple of unproven side effects, like the increasement of suicidal tendency, and depersonalisation. Sounds pretty scary, doesn't it? But I kind of like fluoxetine. It keeps me numb :))

She was the one who started it first... so why do I feel so mean now? Sighs- Conscience can be one hell of an irritating prick at times like this.

I have a strange yearning to see that cute old lady. I remember how she sulked when the doctors reprimanded her for being hospitalised again, and how she giggled while trying to matchmake the doctor. I defintely want to be a nurse.

Seriously, if you haters can't stand me, why bother even visiting my blog, much less trying to tag on it? It's lame that you check my blog, but you loathe me -____-"

Anyways, I found out 2 amazing things today -

1. Did you know that through urine samples, they can actually test whether you are a virgin or not?? I've always thought that the only method was through the existence of the hymen, which, of course, is not exactly a very reliable conclusion since the hymen can tear through vigorous exercise, or reasons other than sexual intercourse. Why they test that on me, I have absolutely no idea. Them doctors have a habit of keeping everything to themselves, and a huge file which is all about me, but I can't even look through -____-"

2. Did you know bones can shrink?! I never knew!

I'm in love with the medical world.
