8th blood donation

Yes... 8th time le... huat ah... haha
but this time nearly black out again in a crowded train, think I was lack of oxygen that time...
anyway everything is fine now...

The process of the donation this time round is fast... thanks to a nurse at HSA called Mdm Kang Ah Jee...
She is very experience, so hit on my small vein on my right hand at one go and tar tar...
everything goes on smoothly...
no after effect, no blue black, no pain :) Thanks to her.

I think I will look out for her again in my next donation (9th one) :)

Interest vs Career

Juz came back from a secondary school gathering...
I was discussing my recent changes with a friend...
Then we discuss about whether we should put our interest as careers?
Hmm...
Once an interest becomes a career, will you be sick of it?
I think some will say yes and some say no...
However in the end both of us agreed that we will not put interest as careers because for me, I think I will be sick of it soon. Then there will be no interest anymore, so nothing to destress le...

Anyway still in deep thoughts... think think think

One Minute Of Silence For DBS CEO

I was at one of the POSB branches in the afternoon.
A notice at the entrance caught my eyes - POSB will be observing one minute of silence at 2.45pm when the mass of DBS CEO starts.
Indeed, at 2.45pm, one of the staffs explained to the customers who are queuing up to get their transactions done at the counters, that all their staffs (including the counters' staffs) will be observing one minute of silence. During that one minute, all transactions stopped. However, everything resumed after that. I believe this should all be happening at all POSB and DBS branches, includes their Head Office at that point of time.
This was the first time I observed this. I always thought that a bank will not stop any of its transactions for anything because time equals to money. To be truthful, I was a little touch for what they did. You might say that its because its their CEO mah. Yar.... true but... i still find this touching :)

Bad mood

has a very bad mood today...

ps: dear frens who are reading this blog, please dun ask me about what happen...
i just wan to 发牢骚 here and bury everything after a good night sleep... so dun bring it up again...

The 7-Ups

Ha.... 7-ups... No no, its not a kind of drink...
Its Seven Up's to a Great Marriage....

These are for myself and also to friends who are happily attached (be it married or going to be married or not going to be married yet) ha... Cheers :)

They are:
1) Light up - No matter how tired you are after work, you still must light up yourself to communicate with your spouse.

2) Dress up - Always dress up to "impress" your spouse every now and then.

3) Stand up - Always stand up for your spouse in whatever situation (Even if your best friends say bad things about her/him).

4) Start up - Always start up your day with your spouse in a bright way (no matter whether one is a late sleeper and the other is an early waker)

5) Shut up - Shut up when it is necessary. (There is some (hurtful) words that need not to be said, ie, you won't die if you dun say those words)

6) Pull up - Always be there for your spouse to pull him or her up whenever needed.

7) Look up (ahead/forward) - Always look up to the future. (Do not drag on to the past)

Note: Above is my own definition, with contribution from my bro and his gf.
Wish those of my friends who are getting married soon have a blissful marriage :)

Southern Ridges Trip

The Southern Ridges - The Southern Ridges comprise a 9-kilometre chain of green, open spaces spanning the rolling hills of Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park and Kent Ridge Park before ending at West Coast Park. (http://www.nparks.gov.sg/cms/index.php?option=com_visitorsguide&task=parks&id=62&Itemid=73)



Finally got to have some time to go walk walk with dear. We spent around 2 hours plus on a Tuesday afternoon to walk from Harbour Front to HortPark. Luckily quite good and sunny weather that day.
What I like best is still the Henderson Wave, at least 36 metre above Henderson Road. Quite windy up there.
Its a tiring walk but I still find its worth it for the scenery up there :)

如燕

词曲：陈佳明
编曲：Terence Teo
制作人：陈佳明
演唱：Olivia Ong

愿意合上眼才能美梦无边
别让悔熏乌了从前

也许碎片才能让回忆展颜
何妨瓷花拼凑明天

谁带我寻获幸福的模
却自己谜中困锁

谁为我留下缱绻的天涯
信物是抹晚霞

Chorus:

思念如燕它飞舞舌尖
若是真爱配尝几分苦甜

意念婆娑时间里推磨
追随到何处才结果

燕如针线在青空缝编
几幅女红将以泪缀点

誓言斑驳情雾只是经过
风雨中且让我盈步婀娜

My Santa Claus Ball

Ho Ho Ho... This Santa Claus Stress Ball comes from HSA. Yeah, I went for my 7th Blood Donation on Boxing Day...

Today is funny de... Got 2 nurses attend to me at one time. Thanks to my deep and small vein.
In the beginning, it was a junior nurse who attend to me but she cant find my vein, so she got a senior nurse to help. The senior nurse look at the veins on both my right and left hands and she has no confident also, so she got another senior nurse in haha... I think the other donars must be thinking what is wrong with me ha

For the last few times, I have been using my left hand to donate but this time round, the senior nurse decide to use my right hand again. I think they also quite stress, cos my blood flow very slowly, so they keep standing beside me ha... But they are quite nice "aunties", keep talking to me... Actually I was a bit paiseh, thanks to my veins again... anyway one of them told me that my blood was a bit too thick to flow also, thats why have some difficulty. She recommended me to drink more water. I better heed her advice before going for my next donation haha...

Anyway went shopping for my new year clothing with my god sis again hee. Finally finish buying the clothing le, at least one task done... I still have some other task to complete before end of 2008, shall see how hee... jia you...
