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!

Good start, hopefully :)

Boy does it feel ggggooooooddddd to be back in hospital again. Not that I'm grumbling that I'm having too much rest (since I needed it), but I was starting to get worried abt me lagging way behind my coursemates (i've always felt that i'm lagging all the time anyway for wateva reason). Plus I definitely needed to get these 2 books from my friend for photocopying as they're reallyy good, and I thought I might as well use it as a guide to kick off my ACTUAL revision for Finals.

I was excited to see Arti again. I've left this girl on her own for a week. It was also nice to be welcomed with "HEY, U'RE BACK!!!!!" with big smiles from some of my coursemates and education centre staff when they saw me. It's been an extremely long time since I had that. It must have been for at least 6 years. I was just glad people knew I still exist, basically.

Have finally made up with my bf after something I was extremely hurt about. Apparently, he wanted the break up (which he said he didn't actually mean), and I thought it'll be nice to have a break from the whole relationship after thinking about it for a good few minutes. I tried to take it in my stride, so I didn't cry toooo much over it, but instead he did. Call me weak, but it pains me when I see him looking so worn out with blood-shot eyes. And wanting time-off wasn't that easy either since we live together, and he'll frequently still come into my room without knocking even though I have made it clear that we're not together anymore. And each time I get out of my room, he'll run to his door and see if I'm alright. I didn't want to speak to him very much too.

When he heard the flat door open this evening, he knew I was back. And hurriedly open the door with a big smile and said "I've got a surprise for u." I didn't actually intend to speak to him, but I didn't want to disappoint him either by showing like it didn't mean anything to me. I love surprises, and I wouldn't hide the fact that I love and enjoy having it.

"Guess what I bought? Not something expensive since I'm broke at the moment, but it's something u like and I've always wanted to get it for u."

And he must have seen my doubtful look of this kind gesture of his...

"I didn't buy it just to cheer u up because of what happened between us."

I didn't get my guess right, and he handed me this black plastic bag. In it are 2 bracelets which are absolutely gorgeous. They're the chunky types, and I did mention once that I love a particularly one as we were just walking around the streets. Fortunately, he didn't spend a fortune on them since he bargained till he got a cheap deal.

I guess he knew we have gotten back together when I'm starting to talk more, and not pushing him away when he tries to hug me. And the evening ended well with a steamboat dinner which I have been craving for.

Am still feeling very exhausted at the moment for some strange reason, but I couldn't get back to sleep after waking up to take my antibiotics (I'm having so much of it that now my pee smells of amoxicillin...). Maybe I should read a little and have a nap in the afternoon..or perhaps I might doze off after an hour of revision (I'm highly capable to that *winks*).

Hope everything will start going back on track from today.
