Hello! Photos will be loaded when i get back to Palmy. I'm still at Kawa kawa, doing vet practical as well as spending time with Ann+family. Did my 1st spaying today and i completed 3 surgeries in a row! (the vet helped me lots though) Had a fish for dinner today!!!! It was delicious.( courtesy of Ann's dad and neighbour)
I'll update when i get the chance to! Cya!
p.s. Thanks momo. I got the $$.
明日の朝 午前四時に起きます。それから 七時半に 友達と 車で カワカワへ 行きましょ!
haha a little practice makes perfect! Going to bed and getting up early to pack. Managed to fill a list. hopefully i didn't miss out anything. Valentine asked me to go over for dinner again but i didn't. I was too sleepy and I need a moment of peace. Ivor just left for home and I guess he was too lonely. hahahah! They are a funny couple. I wish them everlasting love:p
After 2 parties yesterday, I was not in a mood to do anything today. But I wanted to help Sam with some stuff, did laundry, vacuumed, went for haircut, baked and have yet to pack. I baked honey madeleines for people in my flat as well as for my "trip mates". It was 3 below 0 yesterday. I need to pack lots of warm clothes. My laundry is yet to be folded away.
I'm dressed in red, ready for Sam's red party! YIPEE!
me so happieeeeeeeeeeee
I think stress makes me feel alive. I have been feeling dead and dull most of the time when i'm in NZ. The cause of stress is my own bigotedness. Tomorrow's exam is the only exam i haven't studied for at least a week before because i thought it would be easy to get through the notes. Then did i realise that there are lots to read. SO here i am trying to do as many questions as possible to get myself ready for tomorrow. I gave up on reading the notes. I haven't felt this stress for a while. I used to when i was in high school or when i was preparing for anatomy exams. But it somehow makes me feel alive. Maybe i'm going insane. Just maybe. Sam's party tomorrow! WHEEEEEE!
I ran out of bread and i didn't feel like making my way to the supermarket nor did I wish to spend much money at the bakery. SO i made some scones while my laundry is being done. Got to start studying for clinical studies or else i might not get to sleep tonight.
Only worked for 2 hours today since there aren't many customers. I was famished after walking through hailstorm to my japanese class and getting to work in the cold. But I didn't take advantage of the opportunity to have fresh curry and naan. Instead, i came home and had おちゃづけ ( my leftover rice + nori flavouring) and Yang's 茶叶蛋 (which he was so proud of). Momo get me more furikake as well as ochazuke if you are reading this. I'm too afraid to finish them now that i only have a packet left.
how yikey could it get! It hailed just as i was about to step out of the house
One more exam to go! Bought myself a yummy slice of carrot cake from the cafe i spotted along the way home. I was eating and looking at pictures of parasites yesterday without triggering my emetic centres. However, I felt sick at night( not sure why) and had to watch dramas to put myself to sleep. My floor space looks so empty now! Yay! I might pop by the toy store on my way to work later. I think I saw an ad outside a while ago. Guess it would be better to get a day job which is non-food related. I dislike having to down so many cups of coffee to keep myself awake in the day( i usually go to bed early you see) as well as the smell. But i sure do want a job. It's physically and mentally beneficial.
I think i'm getting bored of studying. INstead of reading more about parasites, i found out the name of the plushie i have had for ages! It's a slumber party puffball popple! POP POP POP! Found her friends too! She likes to be clean, just like me.
p.s i think my lactose intolerant is getting worse. I couldn't even stomach philadelphia cream cheese spread. How weird...
My yummy baked salmon! Guess its good that i ran out of bread. Made some rice to go with it. I should stock up on more salmon. For some weird reason, i only paid $2.80 for this steak a while ago. I think i can have salmon and rice forever.
I'm preventing myself from buying this from etsy. Isn't this necklace cool? I want to learn metal jewelry making too!
Studied like a snail this entire day. Gloomy weather. Went to bed at 5pm but got up 2 hours later. Showered and now ready for another study session. GO GO ANGELINE! DON"T BE SLUGGISH!
Momo Lim,
Safe flight and enjoy your trip to Japan! WHEEEEE!
Got up late morning and spent the entire of it carrying out domestic errands like going to the bank, tour agency and getting grocery. I ran out of food or i think i did. Got myself a cheesecake from the only bakery that sells authentic baked cheesecake. But i smooshed it by mistake. So it looked a little disfigured but still yummy. It's funny how i never enjoy baking or cooking stuff for myself whenever i feel like having something. I enjoy it better when it was made by someone else. But i don't mind making it for others and i usually don't eat much of what i made. I think i treat baking as an art project.
The travel agency lady asked me something regarding my Japanese passport when i told her i would like to check on a return Singapore air ticket. I stared at her in confusion and she finally changed it to "SIngaporean". Funny! She must be tired.
p.s Momo, air ticket is $1280 return by Quatas! But i had to pay today because it's an offer and I told her I would come back again another day since i can't buy it now. Singapore airline is still expensive.
I finished hemming this 1m by 1m piece of linen!!! It was hard work!!! Got to make a card when i'm sick and tired of revision. Come to think of it, i didn't do any revision today other than my exam this morning. I hope Ann's mom like it.
Could you believe it?!! I was on my way home and I couldn't get down the street perpendicular to mine. POlice told me to take a detour. So i did. But I couldn't get on the street too. I was told that there was a gunman! Geez! I was on my bike all this while and I was starting to get tired from biking in circles. So i ended up at Meaghan's place. Lucky her flatmate was in! So i seeked refuge for about half an hour , eating the sandwich i got from the bakery. I biked back to check shortly and fortunately the road was opened! Hallelujah! Eureka! Yippeee! Yasu was oblivious to all this happening. I guess they didn't warn the houses down the street. The last time i looked, police were questioning the house just 2 units away! Should i be scared? I think i was annoyed.
I just took this. I love getting up early. And i spotted this just outside my window. It's like layers of a parfait. I was reminded of 'Big Fish' as well.Biking to campus for my exam later! And suwees!!! I have been using the present you guys gave me!!!
Hello Momo Lim Wee Leng?! Are you already in Japan?????? I wanna come along too!
Must be the weather. I lost my vibe today. Should be heading to campus at 5pm for a talk on Mongolian vet work by a 5th year. INstead, I'm still huddled in my house coat sitting in front of my mac with heaps of notes around me. I couldn't find the courage to walk home from the bus stop at 7pm. It would be too cold and dark for my liking. Maybe i shall stay out the whole of tomorrow. I could do some study in the library after my exam tomorrow. It would definitely be more cheery with heaps of interesting books and noise around me.
Hopefully i could do my 5th year externship somewhere different. Northern hemisphere would be great at that time of the year. I'm glad I'll be spending my winter break with a group of friends.Kawa kawa here i come!
I'm terribly disappointed! It's a rainy morning and I couldn't run out to grab a sandwich or anything yummier than what I currently have at home. SO i thought of making a dutch baby ( baked pancake) with the last egg i have on the tray. I was pretty happy with my innovative idea until ... I just left it alone for a while and it was burnt!!!! eeks! Still had it anyway but took off most of the nice crunchy bits on top. Guess i got to have toast again after all...
THIS IS FUN! HAHA Feed them!!!
I managed to sell the mouse that has been in my drawer for ages. Got only 12 dollars for it but i'm glad it found a new home. I no longer have the packaging so i wrapped it up in paper. Today's exam was good! I hope i get an A this time!!!!!!!!!!! And i might quit my job after the 3 weeks break. I'm trying to do it responsibly and will not badmouth anyone as well . Will talk to the boss when he gets back.
I got sick of studying and baked for Sam's birthday.Then I went to work and got invited to a late dinner at Valentine's and Ivor's place at 1130pm!!!!! I have lots to say, lots to complain but i shall leave it at that. Work was yuck. I was asked if i was a korean again. I think i should keep a logbook.study time.
This movie made my day, or shall i say days? I have been watching parts of it at the end of my day these past few days. I used to like the main actor when i was watching this other drama ages ago. Now I found him again!!!!!! Good night. I think i'm already brain dead.
p.s There are weird insects living in the wall of my room. I hate old houses. I have a feeling that the house might just collapse one day when the wind blows a little too hard. The nails that hold the hinge of the window came loose recently.
p.p.s I was mistaken for a korean yesterday. It was Thai last week, Malaysian( closest guess. Well done!) and Japanese a couple of weeks ago.
Oh yea good night again.
As i was reading my virology notes, I made a differential diagnosis for helen. Maybe he was suffering from acute canine hepatitis due to an adenovirus? Virology is cool. It makes me paranoid. Parasitology too.
Biked to campus to visit the bank and posted a letter. Then, got back and had brunch. The egg was a pleasant surprise. I just did a normal hard-boil but it turned out better than I anticipated :) Got a piece of muslin cloth at the clothshop before work yesterday. Thought it might be a good way to wrap the wine bottles for Ann's mom. I think I should hem the cloth when i have the time.
