Insomnia

I cannot freaking get to sleep!!! IT's now 4.45am and I've been awake for the past hour listening to my bounding heart leap from my neck to my head to my years all within a frequency of 130pm.

ARGH!!!!

I decided to get up and try the american remedy of a glass of warm milk only to find myself eating Double Stuffing Oreos with the warm milk. Trust me, it's heaven, but my eyes are still as wide as 50cent coins and my heart bounding like there's no tomorrow. Bloody palpitations, sometimes I think my entire heart would still keep beating even if I were to cut it out and leave it on the table because of all the heartbeat inertia, if there were such a thing.

AGhhhgh

Happy!

I'm so happy today! Firstly, I got my letter of acceptance! secondly, TGIF, and finally, TGIF!! The weekend feels extremely good because during the week, I work like a dog. I'm sure I've mentioned that before.

Why do I work so hard? It's not a need for cash, it's more of a need to feel useful because at home I don't get that validation. Living at home feels like waitressing most times, all good service goes unnoticed, and yet when there's that one screw up, they screw you left right up down. (At least there's the existance of tipping at work) Being the youngest in the family isn't all that fun you know.

On to happier topics, pictures!!

Yee's brand new niece Summer! (I hope they kept that name) She's the tiniest chubbiest baby ever~

Being in a nursery for the first time was life-changing enough for me, the babies look like ripe strawberries all ready to be picked. I can't wait for my sister to get married and have tonnes of kids!

Here's something called The Brotherhood of Six containing of 6 different shooters meant to be consumed one after another without stop. We sold a couple of these for 60 bucks each the other night! Nat loves the colours, I wish I had had better lighting though.

And look! The tulip was kowtow-ing to me. But it looks really sad,

Ever thought about what would happen when your parents die? No, not the melo-dramatic I-have-no-reason-to-live type of die, just the kind of die that happens when your parents are old and withering, meaning you would probably be middle-aged with a midsection as thick as a truck tyre.

Know what my mum stated in her will? She says should she die before my dad, and we're not of age to take care of ourselves, she would send us to our Aunt in KL, which, to my sister and I, seemed to be choosing between the Devil and the deep blue sea. What a scary thought, not the death part, but mroe of the aftermath.

Plans!

Remember my recent post on childhood dreams? Well, here's the next installment of...

My Pre-adulthood Dreams

I would guess that most of us would probably want to end up working in an environment full of people we enjoy working with or those whom we can trust/turn to, because ultimately, these colleagues are the ones whom you're going to be seeing for the rest of your life. (That is, if you don't go around job hopping) Enjoying your occupation is the key to not hating your life once you enter the drudgery of working, or so I have concluded over the past few years. To me, there's no point forcing yourself to do something you abhore, it just shortens your lifespan and gives you wrinkles.

Hence, I have recently discussed, or more so, expounded to my mum the future in which I see myself as a speech therapist in. It dawned upon me one early morning, after my expensive experience at my prothodontist's office which was actually a labyrith of overpriced mouth specialists (teeth, gums, braces, canines, jaws, aesthetics, you name it, you got it), that what would really sell, would be a one stop therapy place. Much like Giant which attempts to sell anything and everything under the sun, from Fuji apples to Giant (brand) underwear. So what shall my one stop therapy centre be called?

The Therapy Cafe

That's because it'll have a cafe besides Music, Speech, Physio and Occupational Therapists! Knowing that when we all enter the working world we'd have lesser and lesser time to spend with our friends, I've devised the fullproof plan to keep our friends close! You see it started with my mum telling me that should I ever ever start a business/clinic/school, she will HAVE to be my cashier (refer to earlier post as to the reasons why) So I thought to myself, since my mum was going to be in it, why not all the people close to me as well! So....

Nat:

Since you're most probably going to be doing Economics, and you're one of my most trusted sisters, you shall handle the business-y part of the entire operation, i.e. Advertising, running of cafe, expenditure etc. Haha! I'd call that Business Manager

Constance:

Designing the clinic/cafe and painting murals on the walls! But if that's too messy a job, you can take the role of a Music Therapist. Yes, there is such therapy if ou were wondering.

Fei:

You wanna be Head Chef of the Cafe? Haha... If not, should you end up a certified Psychologist, I'm reserving that place for you!! :D

Ping:

Knowing your love for kids, we can have a small scale care centre for the children while they wait and you can be the Teacher-in-Charge!

Yee:

The clinic's very own in-house Optomotrist! Extremely high myopia is also one of the common reasons of disabilty in children.

Joan:

Sorry Joan, my mum chope the cashier's job already, you can be Accountant because I know you luuurrrve handling money! :D

Chio:

And lets say we decide to run a full time Cafe-restaurant at night after our Therapy office hours, Chio is definitely the best candidate as General Manager! And all your children can work here part time at $2 more the average hourly pay! Haha!! (enough of this part-timer exploitation

Mings:

Once you get out of Electronic Engineering, you're gonna be the one to handle all my lightings/wires/fancy shamcy electrical things, plus be Operating Manager! (ok honestly I don't know the difference)

Oily and Siyi:

Once either of you become MP, I'll make sure my centre is in your GRC, so that it'll help you build rapport. And if the other one is free, you'll be my PR Manager! :D HAHA

Roger:

When you make plenty of money which I'm sure you will in no time, you can be the major shareholder!! (No capital la) HAha!!

Not forgetting my mum as coffee + receptionist + cashier (she asked for those positions one ok!) And my sister who can hold tuition lessons for the siblings of the special kids.

Last but not least, the key to having a centre bustling with patients, I'm gonna marry a Paediatrician who'll refer all his kids with special needs over to my centre! Muahahaha!! Oh yes, Dhab I didn't forget you, you can be the nurse in my husband's clinic should you decide to come back to Singapore=)

Ok I know this entire post is complete crap, but I really enjoyed penning, or should I say typing my vision out. If any of you are offended by the imaginary positions I have given you, I apologise in advance! It's all in good fun and no harm was meant. Besides, you'd have to be my really really close friends to make it to the list!

=)

*Note: Still looking for a physiotherapist, occupational therapist and special education teacher.

I'm going to get a tattoo, navel piercing and split my tongue!!

haha... kidding

I was listening to one of my chefs talking about his ear piercing experience which he conducted himself. Three things I can say - Lotsa ice, Ouch, and No way!! How the hell can you poke a hole in yourself, yourself! Other people poke nevermind la, haha...

poke poke poke

Today was crazy at work, crazy.

boingo

I need activity before my whole system shuts down. I think I've become a bubble.

*Pop!*

Oh my gosh I soooo miss civilisation-my (fried)friends!!.

Told you I'm becoming a bubble.

bubbabbubaabubaba

I feel old

I went to my over-priced daylight robber-ing prothedontist yesterday, billing us a whopping $800 for X-rays and consultations. His office looked more like a hotel lounge area than a place for drilling teeth and filling cavaties. They even made us COffee and stuff. MY mum now insists that I become a dentist, one to earn all that I've given to those in this current proffesion, and 2 so that she can become my coffee lady (since everyone pays by card or cheque now, there's no need for cashiers.)

What did I tell you about the coffee thing

View from his waiting area

Nat would love this, look! a little man fixing a giant tooth!!

The whole hotel-ish concept

Oh yes, angsty-emo-siao siyi did this :D

This lady was closing the bubble tea shop for the night and decided to give me half a cup of pearls.

Hehheh~!

OH yes, the Pillowman was awesome, the stories are twisted but really good, tell you more next time.

I miss chio!!

And I love work much much more now :D

Oh my gosh I freaking bummed my afternoon away watching a cliche lurrve movie and napping in the heat after that. Singapore has seemed to transformed to Dubai lately, a bustling city with skyscrapers and the works... and not forgetting the heat

The damn heat.

At the special school yesterday during my usual volunteering, I realised that one of the students was sweating, which indicated ridiculous temperatures because for one, she never sweats at all because she's the calmest of all. She's really cute, as if her entire life were a slow motion movie. =)

So here I am in the sweltering heat (thank goodness the aircon has jus tbeen fixed), on my way to soon becoming either a roast pig (direct heat) or steamed pao.

Oh yes, allow me to continue on my cool girl theory.

Michelle Branch, Juno and Tanya Chua in displayed order because I seem to have difficulty typing their names under their blogs. So, why do I mention these girls? It's the cool factor they have. Especially Juno , the laidback, I-don't-give-a-fiddle-to-dress look they wear. All right their photos don't exactly look cool, but what I think is that they probably neeed to take those kinds of photos so as to appeal to the mass I-love-cute-or-sexy-singers audience.

If I were a guy, I'd probably have a thing for these girls, and note they are not, I repeat, NOT emo-girls as some people classify. I onc ehad a student who said, ya, emo-girls very chio what! I couldn't stop laughing.

The inner bitch is coming out again. grrrr...
