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!

Don't tell me I'm falling ill again..

This is really not not NOT a good time to fall ill, when I just got well like...not too long ago.. *rolls eyes*

I was so tired the whole day today. It showed on my face and oh boy, do I look EXTREMELY UGLY today....pale..a little blood-shot eyes..like as if I'll just collapse any moment.

I tried to do some revision when I came home, but I only memorised a list of vocab before I dozed off. I needed a rest.

It was soothing and comfortable listening to the SENS CD while I was lying on my bed. It was tough going to slp initially because my mind was still filled with things, but before I knew it, I slept!

I would be slping now I reckon, if it weren't for Mum's call. I had so much difficulty pulling myself out of bed.

Why the tiredness?

Well, I wouldn't say I had a bad night last night. I slept at quite a late hour, but was woken by a very very very bad cramp in my tummy...yeah..that area again..just like in UK. It was almost as bad as the one I had in UK, and I knew the last thing I want is to "faint" again, so I refused to get out of my bed and tell my parents about it. I tried opening my eyes, but everything seem to be "moving" and I knew this is bad. My sleep was bad from then on and I didn't feel well in the morning when I got up, plus my cough is BACK once more...

Went for jap class and the cramps came on again. I didn't want to be curling up in class, so I rushed to the toilet and stayed there till the pain went away. And I knew I've got to buy medicine for myself..yah..MEDICINE again..I've been taking all kinds of pills recently...

Bought some anti-spasmodics and consulted the pharmacist on medical advice about a condition I feel that I'm most likely to have. I have a strong feeling I've got it cos I was diagnosed with it before. It's not that it's terminal, just that there isn't a cure for it, and the only way is through medication. It's quite common, especially for women. Kinda made a guess? The answer's Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Quite suay to be diagnosed with it years ago, and most likely it's back again. Heard that it can get serious, but I'll pray hard it won't happen on me. But no worries peeps, I'll be fine :)

Haven't had dinner yet, and I'm not hungry. Wonder what's wrong. My appetite's not very good recently.

My aunt called earlier to say that my cousin wants to ask me out. Not a cousin I'm close to, and to be honest, I'm reluctant to go because I know she's not the one who initiated it. I guess it must be one of those "Hope Michelle can knock some sense into her head" reasons from parents. I can go on and try to talk to them and motivate them (like as if it works..) like how I did in the hospital the other day, but then again, I'm thinking..actually I'm not as mature as what my aunt thinks..so what if I study medicine? Just give me my due respect will do and leave me alone..save me those nonsense I have been facing all my life. That'll be great. Ok, speak no evil. So I shall stop grumbling. Think of all as being nice (haha..) and I won't feel that bad. Stay positive Michelle!!! Jia you!!! *cheers for myself*

Gave her a ring and was welcomed by a sianz voice. So damn obvious who initiated it right? Only my aunt sounded excited when I called (duh..return her call mahz..of cos excited lah). Might plan a lunch with my cousin..my treat of course. I'm the elder one mahz. Though reluctant, but I will do my best to see how I can help her in any way possible, but then again, I have to think real hard about what I say...cos this aunt of mine can't be trusted..as in..she tells all my stuffs to everyone, just like those friendster photos which she printed out and distributed to my grandparents. That happened many many many months back, and it DID make me blow my top for some reason I won't state. I remember calling home from UK just to make a BIG fuss about it to Mum once I heard the news. That was how angry I was.

Back to revision. I have to work harder for Jap now. I think I'm going too slow according to my planned schedule. I have not even done the past year papers, and I'm still struggling with basic concepts. This is not gonna work if I want to score damn high for my exam. It's a MUST. My aim? 90% and above...I'm gonna do it.
