Name:
Location: Singapore

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!

I'll miss today

I guess..I'm beginning to feel more and more down abt returning as I watch the hours pass. I don't wanna go up the plane and spend 13 hrs in there alone..but I don't want Dad to go with me to UK too. I rather just cry once when I walk into that departure gate than having to go through another episode of it when Dad says bye to me when he leaves for Singapore.

I had a good time with my parents today. Dad took leave from work to bring me around.

Morning:
Met Aunt Magdalene at Coffee Bean. She bought me a box of bird's nest, cos she knows I love it. Listened to her preaching to me about me needing more slp, more water and more fruits if I want my face complexion to be nice. And she asked me if I wanna be her god-daughter. Hmm..will have to think about it as it isn't just a casual godma-goddaughter relationship.

Noon:
I went to the temple to pray, but couldn't pray properly today. I got very very breathless in the temple..and had problems completing my prayers. I think it's probably cos it was super stuffy in there. I couldn't think well too, and couldn't even organise wat I wanna say well at well. I was basically mumbling things when I don't know what I'm mumbling about.

Went with my parents to Parkway to shop around, and bought myself a new pair of track shoes. Mum has been grumbling abt my shoes, saying that they are fit for the bin.

Went to the salon cos my curls are lifeless now. I had a trim and straightened my hair. I'm back to having a simple hairstyle. I still prefer having my curls though...but I'm sure my curls will look disgusting in the months to come, so it's better go for a fuss free hairstyle before semester starts. I definitely don't wish to visit a salon in UK unless ppl wanna sponser me. Anyway, I'm glad that my dry ends are all trimmed off. Now my hair's looking healthy :)

Dinner:
Had my fav XLB at Crystal Jade. Then I went to NYDC with my parents for desserts. It's their first time there, and I'm pleased that they enjoyed the desserts. Felt like as if I've instilled some youth back into their life since u don't see very much middle-aged people dining in these places.


It was a simple day. No special events. It's an outing which I often have with my parents. But maybe because I'm leaving, today seemed really memorable and special to me. I wished the day was longer.

This evening, Dad said, "Girl, Dad feel so sorry for u for having to stay in the plane for so many hours. You know how Daddy feel? You know how much your parents love you?". I didn't reply. I didn't tell him I am sad. I held my tears back. I didn't tell them I love them. But I really do.
