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!

It's time to change the template for the blog, and that midi of course. As you can see, I haven't been paying very much attention to my blog (not that it really matters) due to my hectic schedule, and now that I have all the time in the world, I'm turning lazy..haha.

I made hor fun for my boy this evening, and goodness, it was disastrous. I have been so silly to keep stirring in corn starch water when I haven't even got the gravy boiling to a high temperature, and fortunately it didn't turn into glue when increase the temperature of the cooker. But the colour wasn't nice. I couldn't even fry the hor fun noodles properly. The colour of the noodles was fine, but no way could it turn as fragrant as I wish it did. You just can't live up to the standards of the horfun in the hawker centres. They've got a much stronger fire than my crap cooker in the kitchen. Sigh.

I have been really bored at home. He's busy studying, while all I do is aimlessly searching for videos to watch on youtube, or reading Harry Potter (and I'm still not hooked..wonder why so many ppl are) or playing Bejewelled 2.

I can do something more productive like clearing up my room, but no mood leh. My books and piles of disorganised notes are still piled up high on my floor and study table.

I spent the afternoon washing dishes in the kitchen. Yah yah...GO LAUGH! LAUGH MORE AH!!! *rolls eyes*

I couldn't stand that filthy kitchen no more. I mean, how can anyone survive with such a dirty kitchen?! I am so darn unwilling to even step in for a minute. One day, it can smell no better than the garbage truck in Singapore, another, it can look like as if some wild pig just came in to ransack the whole fridge and cupboards.

And I just wonder how angmos wash their plates. It's so freaking disgusting to find pasta remains on plates which are supposedly-to-have-been-washed. I ended up washing those "clean" plates again. And those cups..wah liew. You bet I was hoping to throw all of it away into the bins. I mean, how many bloody cups do u need just to have a drink? Oh yeah..maybe loads since they don't wash their cups. It's no wonder why they always need a whole cupboard of various cups/mugs/glasses...it's never enuff isn't it?

So..anyway...I got so pissed at finding all the "clean and dry" dishes lying around, I decided to find a place to stuff them. Opened this cupboard, and found a few similar looking pots and pans inside, and I decided to arrange them so that I can stuff the things in. But to my horror, even those pots and pans are DIRTY! Piangz... Couldn't care less and I just stuffed everything inside, be it clean or dirty since it was already dirty to begin with and like as if they'll be shy to realise how bloody disgusting and dirty they are and start learning to wash their own dishes.

After coming to UK for so many years, I think Mr. Tomato should be banned in angmo food. Gosh, I just can't stand pasta sauce lying everywhere, and it's even more disgusting to find it all dried up (so dried u can even scrap layers of it out from the plate!) and so bloody difficult to scrub at times.

Maybe I should just take a picture of my kitchen just to show u how gross it is (there are 2 fat flies outside my flat since the corridor stinks of rubbish), but that's provided my China flatmate doesn't clean up the entire kitchen. Poor girl. She's been cleaning the kitchen so many times till I sometimes wonder if it's her hobby or way to destress. If only every flatmate is like her, the flat will be spick and span.

But anyway, my horrible kitchen is still a zillion times better than CG's...hahaha...his flatmate is probably the dirtiest person alive. There's water found in the oven (!!!), and their flat has got a short circuit for umpteen times, and their cooker has been changed twice (oh..he just corrected me by saying it's THRICE...muahaha) already. Damn scary to be living in such a flat, since u nv know when a fire will break out (no wonder angmos always have fire drills).

Now on to the lifts.

This whole building has got like 21 storeys, and there are only 2 lifts, which I shall not try to grumble about. But hey, how pissing can it get when one of it breaks down and it takes DAYS to repair it? And not just that, when u enter that lift, u either smell drugs (no kidding! i got a sensitive nose for it since my flatmate in 1st year takes it all the time) or vomit or alcohol or rubbish. You might even spot cans, crisps everywhere as well. Not to mention, there's a CCTV in the lifts. Now I'm seriously wondering if the CCTVs are working. Maybe it's worth taking a hammer to hammer it and see what results from it. Who knows? I might even get away scot free!

There are also mad b*stards who go around dirtying the lifts with water, spreading it all over the walls of the lift, and one can imagine how dirty and gross it looks with dried water marks all over steel. You also get people playing with lift buttons, and also idiots who spray tomato ketchup (one more reason to ban tomatoes!) on the walls.

At times, I am wondering if this is a proper university accomodation or one for adults who are still lagging mentally and in terms of maturity.

The other thing that should be banned is BOOZE!!!

I'm not saying that because I don't drink and hence, I hate it. I mean, does it taste good? My angmo acquaintances don't even think it tastes great. They drink because their peers drink! What advantages does booze give u? Nothing unless u're only taking 1-2 pints a day to prevent coronary heart disease, but how many are drinking for this healthy purpose?!

They drink all the want, and the result? Talking rubbish on the streets, smooching strangers, puking all over the place (poor cleaners), doing nonsensical things subconsciously (sorry, but I don't think these mad assholes deserve any forgiveness after they're sober), getting hangovers the next day, and slowly killing themselves by screwing up their liver (well done!)

Sometimes, u just wonder why do these ppl drink? And when u're bored, u get the answer. Cos there's nothing else to do except drinking at night. That's how boring this place is.

(Cool..I just killed 1 hr of my time with this blogging..teeehheeee..)
