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!

Hospital Ball

I wouldn't reject going to a ball/formal dinner back home. In fact, I love going for such events because it's one of the rare chances I get to wear a nice dress and dress up properly. But I must say that angmo balls are not really my type. I turned up purely because of social obligations, yet I must say I've quite enjoyed myself at the end of it.


Shall let the pics do some of the talking..


My dress for the night...(my one & only formal dress in the UK borrowed from Mum..pardon my messy bed)



All set for the evening...
Everything started off looking really sophisticated since everyone was beautifully dressed up (females in lovely dresses and guys looking smart in their 'black tie' attire) and holding wine glasses (I was with my tiny cup of orange juice...heez). Felt as if overnight, everyone was completely different from how they look normally at work in the hospital.

Was feeling really bored initially, and only started perking up as the jokers of my table (my colleagues) started talking crap, playing nonsensical games, and of course, when food came. Food wasn't too bad, and I absolutely love the profiteroles served at the end...slurp!

More drinks after, and random photo taking sessions. The band started playing as well, and when everyone started getting high, they started hitting the dance floor and groove the night away. Yup, lots got drunk, and as usual, some messing around *winks*.

I'm crap with alcohol, and after lots of persuasion plus not wanting to be a spoil sport, I did down vodka in the end. I've got a really poor tolerance level, and didn't realise I had down almost the whole bottle (my colleagues were pouring tiny bits each time, and I just drank them down without realising how much I actually took in). No surprise to why I started feeling hot, having palpitations, felt high, went dancing when Owain dragged me there, and not being "myself". But at least I was sane enough to not do silly things.

Ok..photos..(rather poor quality due to lighting)

Haliza, Me, Heather & Samya

Me, Samya & Owain


Beth, Heather, Me, Mel

Jonah trying so very hard to look natural in a photo, and he nv fails to fail badly in doing so in every photo (he finds it difficult to smile naturally apparently...hahhaha).

Mel, the friendly alcoholic addict cum drunkard, getting high and posing with some silly star on her nose..hahahaha...

Mel & Me..
Beth (The baker amongst us Junior Docs cos she's always baking cakes and cookies...and they're really delicious!) and Me (yeah..I'm looking flushed after the vodka)..

Samya looking gorgeous in her green outfit (love her dress to the core!!!!). She's the one I talk to most here. She's also known as the "Dancing Queen of the Hospital" when u send her high on alcohol and start the music. You bet she was the main highlight of the dance floor. Haha!

Haliza and Me...
Heather (her curls are natural and they're soft like baby hair!) and Me...

Owain (trying to look different coming in with a tie rather than a bow. I still prefer him shaven..but still as good looking as ever) and Me...


Thanks to him for driving me home, or else I'll really KO during today's on call. Wasn't quite myself when I got back, and I guess I must have been talking random rubbish to Dearie over the phone when I rang him up. Dearie could tell I was slightly high, and told me to not make this a habit, since he doesn't like me feeling this way after alcohol especially if he's not around. Expected. Oh well, but at least I know he wasn't angry.
We've made up last night. Don't even know how we did it. But oh well.
