thank you germ and ken for the yummy sushi!
thank you germ for the yummy sweet potatoe soup!

argh..this weekend sucks big time. i am stuck in my room, writing an essay which i have no idea what to write about. strangely enough, i still managed to crap out 2500 words. no doubt i am going to do so badly for this essay..i am not looking forward to getting it back at all...

and, tomorrow i have to go to a friend's place to do a presentation due on Wed. *BLEAH* the only thing that keeps me going is that with each passing moment of pure boredom and stress, i am one moment closer to stepping back on sunny Singapore.

germ and i shared a slice of bah gua just now (many thanks to Yivern). that first bite into that sweet tasting BBQ pork...ooh..was SO GOOD. can't wait for CNY next year and eat all the bah gua i want. *drool*

end of year trip for family more or less settled...now have to work out whether the trip to europe is gonna work out...and it all lies with a 'yes' or 'no' from MOH. parents have agreed..a quick calculation show that i should be able to afford it (with a little bit of loan from PPMM)...

one last week at St Paul's. i'm sad. this is my favourite placement...because it's elective and all i need to do is pass, because my supervisor is fun and a pleasure to work with, because i get to 'knock off' at 3pm, because i get to work with children...this placement is so good, just thinking of it ending this coming thurs makes me wanna weep with sorrow...

argh...back to that b***** ethics essay. and my neck muscles just went into spasm. OUCHIE!
******************************************************
realised during dinner that today is Peil Leng's bday! called her to wish her happy bday and she sounded so surprised. happy birthday pei leng!

mmm...no one ever calls me from overseas (except my papa who called me about 3 times to settle all the touring stuff). when the phone in the apt rings, i know that 99.999999999999999% is for Germ, and 99.99999999999999% is her mum. sigh...sometimes i have no idea why i even bother to have a mobile phone here in aussieland. even back to those days when i had a significant other, he doesn't bother to sms me...and his phone calls are rarer than a blue moon.

i have no idea how talking abt peileng's bday became a nobodycallsmeeverybodyhatesme complain session.

等电话，是无休止的期待。结局，是彻骨的失望。
电话铃声响，我知道不是找我的。
可是每次都抱着希望接电话，
再带着失望把电话传给别人。

sometimes, i even get jealous of people who have friends and family calling them. it's just so nice when u are overseas to receive a phone call from a friend or family...kinda reassures u that someone still cares.

BAH. i sound desperate for attention...maybe because i am too deprived of any attention??!!
i can almost see the word L.O.S.E.R. being engraved on my forehead...and then onto my tombstone - Gretel Ni:biggest loser of all time.
