A Singaporean girl who graduated from a Medical College in the UK and currently working as a doctor, spending most of my years abroad burying myself amongst medical books, speaking Queen's English and trying to adapt to life in Britain. But I still remain a true blue Singaporean who loves my plate of char kway teow and enjoys the sense of closeness when speaking "Singlish" to my fellow countrymen. Why "The Chinese Doctor"? Because that's what my patients call me since they don't know my name!

Finally got things to do today

Yay..got stuffs to do today...FINALLY!!!

I've been waiting for this day for a long time..lol. I've been at home for too long. Not that I'm grumbling abt it, but everyone's too busy for me.

But not that bad, at least I know 2 weeks later I'll be going out with one of my friends. Haven't met him for a long time. Chatted with him for a while yesterday and he was feeling very very very stressed up..couldn't even 'laugh' online and complain to me like how he always does. Guess things must be bad on his side. And he asked me to bring him out for sunshine..ahha..sounds familiar...hmm...

Got up at 6+am again. Oh ya, received a pleasant email from my supervisor of my project last night..hehe. This is what it said:

"Michelle,I am sorry you weren't able to present. Both Sudhir and I were away last week. I got your project and CD and was impressed by it, especially considering the extra work you were doing. Your study showed that us teachers are perhaps not doing our job properly!!!! Or is it the student's fault!!! I gues it is because of poor example given by all sorts of staff. An interesting study.John"

Wanted to tell this good news to Daddy, but apparently, the lights were off in my parent's room, so they must be sound asleep already. I was hopping around in front of my computer after reading that email..geez..hope they give me a good mark for it, even though it's not gonna make a difference to my fate..at least gimme an A for this module? I don't think I did badly for the other assignments for this particular module, so maybe got a little teeny weeny bit of chance. Hor? *self-consoling*

Plans for today. Gonna meet Mum for lunch after her facial appointment. Gosh, I realise Mum's getting more and more conscious of her looks and dressing. She's so much more dressy compared to me..haha. Imagine me being as dressy as her..I think we can form our "Jie Mei Pai" very soon. But the thing I have to admit is, she still looks good. Maybe Intenz should get her to do their advert. I'm sure if that product is free, Mum won't mind to try it. Heard so much about it from my aunt and cousins (tsk tsk...another few vain pots). But because I don't believe in such stuffs, I'm not wanting to try it and scaring Mum about these products as well. Haha. I mean, if it's really THAT good..meaning no potential side effects down the road..dermatologists should probably try to seek another route for survival now. And perhaps, Intenz should be made cheap to public so that we can all have lovely wonderful flawless skin, and then compete with China's Suzhou beauties to see who is better. If we do succeed, then Singapore can have something to add to their "To be proud of" list.

Heard an interesting topic over the radio yesterday on the way to the hospital. Surveys have shown that sgporean women are more keen to lose weight by watching their diet rather than exercising. How true when I sit down and think about it. So far, I've been blessed with an either thin or slim figure, so I'm not sure which is better..exercising or diet. But then again, I think exercising sounds like a healthier option, of course, not neglecting the fact that watching the diet is important to enhance the effects..what I mean is to cut down the calorie intake...and not cutting down till u turn anorexic. That'll be drastic.

Then the DJ mentioned that sgporean women actually think they are FAT. Will you believe it?! Sgporean being FAT!!!! Gosh, these people haven't seen what's FAT manz. Should send these women over to UK and then they can check out the meaty goldilocks in their tubes and tight clubbing pants of the size 24. Note that the average size for asian for pants in size 8. :)

Ok lah, gotto admit that these so-called fat sgporeans are fat compared to the skinny ones around. But what's this obsession about going all the way to Mary Chia, Marie France Bodyline etc for some 'shou shen' programme? One look and you know it's rubbish. Check out the people they look for in their adverts? Mostly celebs. Take a look at their photos in the papers..do those 'people' look normal in the pic? Nope. They look "elongated". Thanks to the lousy photoediting skills. And even if it's really effective. Like what this guy from CASE was mentioning on TV last night on Channel 8's 'Jiao Dian', knowing that this particular individual is made to be the spokeswoman for the slimming company, the company will definitely give her the best of the best they can offer to make sure it REALLY makes wonders for her. Duh. Which stupid company will dare advertise for something that won't work? Then the question is, if one wants the same effect as that of the spokeswoman, can she afford to pay for such a package? Unless you're some rich tai tai, I don't think you'll be able to afford to. Plus, another point to note, even if you can afford it, can you maintain being in your new slim self for long? Hence, I still think slimming companies are CRAP....legal money-eating companies who targets innocent desperate women who are dying to turn into Christie Chung within a short period of time.

One thing I feel that these 'fat' women should ponder about it, how to enhance their beauty of being fat! Who said fat is ugly? Take a look around. How many dressy tai tais are slim? How many angmohs are slim..older ones that is? Is Koh Chieng Mun sloppy? No. She's class when she dresses up! Real tai tai seh. There are clothes which look good only one big-sized women. There are some hair which turn fat aunties into classy tai tais. It's just whether these women know how to take advantage of what they possess at the moment.

Of course, if the argument is solely on health, then I'll recommend going slim. Lesser chances of high cholesterol, lesser chances of heart attack, lesser chances of diabetes and the list goes on and on.

Goodness me. I didn't realise I spend ages typing my thoughts out on diet. *clears throat*

Ok, back to my plans for today. Was saying I'll meet Mum for lunch. Then it'll be shopping (I reckon) for a while, after which, I'll try to sneak off earlier to walk ard myself..then meet Jason for dinner. Then come home with him and spend some time together.

Hope his cold's getting better today.

I better stop now. Damn hungry. Shall try this new packet of Soya Bean milk which I bought a few days ago..dunno nice or not. After which, I shall force myself..yes...FORCE myself to sit down and study.
