ahh...the satisfaction and sense of release when an assignment is handed in. today is absolute bumming day. except for being stuck in the physio comp lab for 2.5 hours editing that bloody evidence-based assignment (due in 2 weeks!!!), i did absolutely NOTHING related to school.

after being 'released' from the comp lab, went to rowden white and borrowed a book. then, walked to mac's at vic mkt (i still can't say macca's...macdonald's sounds more like home when i say mac''s)...had lunch alone while reading my book. then grocery shopping at vic mkt...came back, put laundry in and then i lounged in on the air mattress and futon for like 2 hours, just reading reading reading. ahh...it was SO SO SOOOOO relaxing. *sigh* if not for esther's call at 6pm, i think i'd have kept reading till i fall asleep.

sigh...but good things don't last. tomorrow is the start of doing work again. gotta start on assignments again and gotta read up on stuff for clinics. gotta do this, gotta do that. how i wish i can take more rests like the one i had today.

i am having serious backache, probably from assessing the child yesterday. though she was pretty light, picking her up and twisting around probably did some damage to my back muscles. oooh...germ,i need a massage....where are you? *sob*

going to temple with trudy again tomorrow. i'm actually looking forward to it. probably help me to put some order and peace back into my chaotic life. and dinner at Fangnian's (a.k.a Tony the tiger) place. haven't seen esther for so long. which is kinda strange cos we are neighbours.

*blush* that's just so ME. especially since i am in one of my "dun wanna talk to anyone" mode (a.k.a. antisocial mood). it's just easier for me to come back to my apartment, and do whatever i want..instead of sitting down with someone else and having to make conversation. seems like i am going into a reverse cycle of ageing. while other people get more enthusiastic with meeting people, having more courage and being less shy, i go in the complete opposite direction.

ah well, i guess i am just a hermit at heart.

or maybe, it's just easier to be myself when i am all alone. no need to watch my words...or watch my actions. i can do whatever i want and no one would judge me.

freedom of speech, freedom of thoughts, freedom of actions.
*************************************************************
the book i am reading have very interesting "quotes" at the start of each chapter.. shall put most of them up...cos they make alot of sense and some of them are really funny *bwahaha*

"Every once in a while, you meet a man worth the trouble he's going to cause you." awww...when is my "once in a while" gonna come??
"It is better to be on the receiving end of a shocked stare than a bored yawn."
how true...
"Anyone can be a butterfly. A butterfly is just a moth with eyeshadow."
bwahahahahahaha...does this means i should start wearing make up?
"A child's kiss can mend a broken heart."
hence my interest in paediatrics...
"God will forgive you for bending the commandments in order to earn the money to pay the light bill and feed children."
haha... some things are just more essential to survival than religion eh?
"When travelling, it is important to wear a short skirt in case you need help with your luggage."
WUAHAHA!! another reason for me to wear skirt when i go home in Dec...
"Don't take a man back once he's done you wrong. It's like hoping the milk is still fresh after it's been sitting in the heat all day."
Ahh...very good advice indeed...
"When you have a terrible day, drink a margarita, eat chocolate and dance in the kitchen. Things will look better in the morning."
hmm...it'd probably be drink a can of coca-cola, eat chips and dance in my bedroom for me. *grinz*
"I'd rather be brave enough to do something worthy of wild gossip than be so afraid of others' disapproval that I do nothing at all."
fwah...well,i think i've already followed this quote once, and end up where i am now.
"Don't waste your time on a man unless his kiss makes you forget your name."
sigh...that's provided can get a man who wants to kiss first, yeah?
"It's a funny thing, but for a special kind of man, making a woman laugh is almost as gratifying as getting her into bed."
more sighs....
"There's nothing wrong with enjoying a man's attention. The only problem is if the attention results in contractions nine months later."
WUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
"The most important thing you can do in life is to be your best you. You wouldn't have been born if the world wasn't needing you for something."
i should print this quote out and paste it on my wall to keep reminding myself.
"Love makes us do amazing, wonderful things...and really stupid things too."
oooh!! how true..how very very very true...
"If your man doesn't dance, then teach him. If he won't try, then cha-cha on to the next one."
BWAHAHA!!
"The more forbidden the candy, the more you want to eat it."
human nature...always craving something you can't get. Sigh...
"A mother's love is a gift that keeps on giving...long after she's gone."
*sniffle* really dun wanna know if this is true or not...
"Laugh hard enough to make you stomach hurt. Sing loud enough to wake the neighbours. Love as if the whole world's survival depends on it, and you will have a wonderful life."
hmm....another quote for me to print and stick on the wall??
