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!

New Year 2006

How did you spend the last day of 2005?

Mine was a chalet with the secondary school gang. But because I had woken up at 5am, I was dying of exhaustion straight after the bbq session. Could hardly keep my eyes open during their poker session. I wish I was more energetic and have more fun with them.

It was great seeing some people I have not seen for years, like Jiemin, Shafiq and Yiong Keong. And again, it was full of laughter with the crap.

I also wished I could drink with the rest too. I'm a rubbish drinker, and hence, I refused to even have a can since I'm sure I will give up after less than half a can. It makes me quite sianz whenever I see my buddies drink, while I can't. CG is a fantastic drinker too (he only gets a bit tipsy after dunno how many dozens of cans!), and I can't even have a can with him. I remember we bought a bottle of Tiger beer before, and I couldn't take it after a few mouthfuls (didn't want palpitations and looking like a lobster), and he had to finish the entire bottle himself. He drank it like as if it was plain water!

I went to bed before the clock struck 12, and woke up very early again this morning. Was so glad to see my boy online. He's back from Manchester, and I was in time to wish him Happy New Year. I missed the countdown in Sg, so I had to do the countdown using UK time. And it was a short moment of fun counting down to 2006 with him using our webcams and mics.

Showed him his present and oh boy, was he delighted! In exchange, I was allowed to read something he wrote during our last quarrel. My boy writes his thoughts and feelings whenever he's unhappy or upset. He wanted to read it out to me, but I understand things better when I read than listen, so I shall read it when I go back to UK (gosh...he said it's more than one page of A4 in Mandarin!!!!). But he still read the first few sentences. I stopped him because my tears were already rolling!!!!! Manz...I wonder if my eyes will start swelling after I finish reading it, but I still wanna read it. I want to know what he's thinking and feeling.

Can't wait to see him now. He's the only reason that makes me smile whenever I think about my return. And we're going to celebrate my bday properly when I return! I was touched when he told me the plans he has worked out on the day of my return. And I can't wait to see my bouquet of roses too. He said the number is a surprise and said a rose isn't cheap..costs about more than a pound for a stalk. Hmm...scares me when he says that. I hope he didn't spend lots of money on it cos he has already spent a lot on my present. And he said he's gonna make roast duck for me..hahaha...I wonder how it'll taste like. Looking forward to try it :)
