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!

U got a bad memory or what?

Sometimes I wonder if ppl ask u certain questions time and time again when they see u because:
1. They got a freaking bad memory..hence, can't rem your answer
2. They weren't even listening to your reply in the 1st place
3. They got nothing else to ask, but still want to talk (acceptable, but damn irritating unless I like that person..muahahahaha..oooopppppssssss)
4. They ask any walking human being that till it shoots out before it goes through their brain

Let me list the most common questions I encounter:
1. How's the weather?
2. Have you eaten your bfast/lunch/dinner/supper? (And sometimes some insane ppl even ask me if I have eaten dinner when it can be 10am in the morning...i can understand that though..time difference..lol)
3. When you coming back to Singapore?
4. Why you haven't sleep?
5. What time is it now?

Thanks people for asking me all that. I really appreciate it (not being sarcastic), and I do feel touched when my friends ask me these. But I think I'll be damn irritated if you ask me the same question again and again and again (number of chats = number of "same question", plus in the same order somemore each time).

Got damn irritated for a few minutes just a while ago because this particular person has been asking me the same question OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Everytime he msges me, it'll be "When you coming back?". I think I have answered him for like 30 times! AND he is still asking me the same question today! Pardon me, but I'm wondering if this person is having an extremely severe memory disorder. How many times do I have to repeat to get it through his head?

Yeah yeah..I know this person's got an upcoming concert and excited to know if I'll be around to watch it..but hello...can you NOT make me repeat my answer sooooooooo many times?! If I give u a brief timing, just take it as that ok? If I remember the date (or am dying to tell u so much so that I will put in the effort to dig into my luggage to find my air ticket), I will definitely tell u no? And if I know that I'll definitely be back by then to attend your concert, I WILL GO...so don't keep pressing me! Plus if I actually do show signs of being IRRITATED with you, do yourself and me a favour by stop bombarding me with further senseless/meaningless questions, and talk about something else instead if you have anything else to talk abt.

And I do dread ppl going speechless WHEN they initiate a chat first. I mean..don't you msg someone only when u have something to say? Or when u wanna talk to a person? Don't have to be much..but at least don't go all dumb after saying hi or after one miserable lame and stupid question of "How's the weather?"

Apparently, I get friends who msg me "Hi" and then go offline. Damn lame! Then you get those who goes "Hi" and when u reply them, they start giving u one word answers, sounding sooooo uninterested or compelled to reply. And when you ask them why they r giving one word answers, they tell u "Short and sweet".

MY FOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I can stuck a HongKong foot into the person's mouth (I don't have one..so don't let your mind wander and think if the HK foot is mine). Don't give this excuse pls....it makes you sound utterly dumb instead of being a person with attitude.

I reckon after this entry, more ppl will think twice abt msging me..haha. Feel free to msg me (I mean it), but pwwwweeeeeeaaaasssseeeee don't:
1. Act stupid in front of me. I'll accept it if you're really stupid, and I mean REALLLLLLLYYYY stupid.
2. Suffer from severe memory disorder BECAUSE I hate to repeat myself 30 times (once or twice is ok..)
3. Don't ask the obvious like "Are u alive?" (Is there any chance u might be talking to a ghost on the other end?)
4. Don't flood the whole msg window with my meal questions like have I had my meal, then going on to what I had, what I normally cook, what I like to eat, when I'm going to the supermarket (why? u wanna help me carry my groceries? if u want to be useful, buy me a car pls. or get ur ass down to Cardiff.), do i actually eat (no, i don't. *rolls eyes* will i be blogging if i didn't eat? use ur brain pls. i hate cooking for myself though), what detergent i use to wash my plates (luckily no one ask me this yet).

Yes, u probably notice..I get less patient with such ppl in my life. Who wouldn't?!
