collecting the graduation gown on sat totally threw me off my plans. forgot abt the gown until fri and therefore i had to collect it on sat. cancelled my sentosa sat once again. i tink the whole idea of the graduation gown is rather useless. wats the gown without a mortar board? tink its rather pointless to go to so much trouble for a diploma graduation. still have to waste $30 on tat gown.
the 2 days hospital orientation came to an end today. really din regret my choice to join my hospital. it has a rich tradition and remains one of the public flagship hospitals and is the future academic hospital with the upcoming duke-nus graduate medical school. went shopping at queensway after my orientation since we were already in bukit merah for the orientation. bought a nice shirt and had a nice chat over dinner in ikea. loved the cheap and tasty swedish meatballs :)
finally got my first full pay...but got to return quite a big sum of money to my parents for the first few months...left with so little for myself. got to scrimp on some areas liao...sian

wanted to go sentosa on sat but it rained so ended up playing mahjong again. had very bad luck and got bao 2 times. one was for discarding a new tile towards the end when i only had all new tiles and the other was for discarding a wind with tai. managed to minimise my loss to only $16.
went to a nightclub on sun. yes...those nightclubs that u can call gers...haha :p. but i went in the afternoon. got intro to this nightclub by a fren. they actually open their ktv rooms like those normal ktv for people who just want to sing on sat and sun afternoon. paid just $11 to sing from 2pm to 7pm and a drink. they have all the new songs, sofa seats are very comfortable and the sound system is not bad. highly recommended! the nightclub is dynasty classic at peace centre.
working in fluoro is fun. its interesting to work with different radiologists and adapt to them. but im getting a bit of backache from wearing the lead apron and bending forward even after trying my best to take care of my back. kinda like working life now...time passes very fast everyday and soon its the weekend again which i can enjoy thoroughly without any worries.
ps: peipei in bingo pool is rather pretty and cute...catch her on chn 46 every mon to fri at 8pm :)

went to sentosa after work last sat. saw many old frens. like the last time i went during the holiday, there are only 2 courts left. but there are quite a few diy courts that ppl brought and pitch on the sand. seems like the trend nowadays to bring ur own courts. the 2 courts there have no boundaries as the lines are broken. so we had to draw lines on the sands to indicate the touchlines...quite pathetic. i played on the court where the net is low...so it was played at a leisure pace. we managed to win more than 10 consecutives matches. however i din enjoy it as much as before due to the low net and the temporary touchlines. tink its bcoz of my competitive nature that i want to play and win at standard beach vball. decided that i wont go down every week but rather on alternate sats that i have to work.
therefore this sat was spent playing mahjong! won ard 30 bucks...its the 2nd consecutive time i won so much already...the last being on labour day. feels so gd to be winning 5 tai hands and zhi mo at tat. so ya...the alternate sats will be spent playing mj and chilling out and playing pool at labyrinth after tat. the pool sessions alone on fri and sat nights came to 50 bucks per night. then there are the liqour. but im more willing to spend now coz really want to relax after a hard week at work.
will be at fluoro next week...gonna have backache.

Kim Ah Joong - Byul (Star)
the wind is shaking the windows,and over my small room,the stars fill up the sky, shining brightly too many to count,the stars reassure tired me
they wipe away the many tears that are deep inside me
don't be hurt too much..they hug me tight and pamper me
and comfort me,telling me to go to sleep
though I'm exhausted to the point where I cant walk
though my tears blur my vision
l still smile in front of my love that I'm not able to get
Even though our happy times were short, I'll treasure it deep inside my heart like those countless number of stars, forever
My dream is coming. though it is unusual that my one star is bright
it is very bright, even blinding..it comes down to my shoulder
stop being so sad..it holds my hand as it touches me
and gives me a warm hug
though I'm exhausted to the point where I can't walk
though my tears blur my vision
l still smile in front of my love that I'm not able to get
Even though our happy times were short, I'll treasure it deep inside my heart
like those countless number of stars, forever
Only for today, I won't cry though my eyes fill with tears
I want to laugh like those stars
Oh~ I want to cherish all my happy moments deep inside my heart
Like those countless number of stars, forever

this week has been a comparatively easy week in the chest room. its not really a chest room technically. it is still used for orthopedic and urology cases. but using direct radiography is so much less tiring than CR. no cassettes to process and no long corridors to walk. and im more comfortable with post processing and sending/printing of films on the computer intead of the kodak wall unit. got a couple of complaints as well...but it was not really my fault. still it was rather demoralising.
im glad that we are able to be friends again before she starts work after being such a sore loser myself.
