Oh, it's been more than a week since i last blogged. The last week had been rather packed for me, doing photo shoots and such. And did i tell you guys that i didn't get my Ben and Jerry's ice cream on Free Cone Day? All because i had to work late and i ended up leaving hospital close to 6.45pm. I rushed down in a cab (which i spent $13 on it) and arrived at 7.02pm. I saw the queue and when i wanted to que, they said that the que was closed. I wanted to say that the scoop of ice cream was expensive - $13 a scoop (when you can usually get it for $4.50 a scoop) but, i didn't even get to eat it. Of course i felt sad. Luckily my friends were there with me and they kinda cheered me up.
One of my colleagues invited me and a few others to go with them to Melaka, in Malaysia. I'm kinda interested in going, but i'm looking for people to go with me. Details as follows:-

Enjoy office hours and Mapling
It's my second week working in the OT. Life there has been quite fine. I wake up at 7.30am for my shower and leave my house at 7.49am. Arrive at the interchange at about 7.58am and the bus leaves the interchange at 8.02am (but it leaves most of the time at 8.05am. I'll reach the changing room at 8.18am and change. It'll be 8.20am or so after changing into my gown and I'll wear my headgear aka cap. And i'll start reading the news headlines on the Straits Times till 8.29am. And at 8.30am, I'm out in the theatre. Yes - I time everything. And at about 4.59pm, I'll start washing my hands and by 5pm, I'll be back in the changing room changing into my clothes. I've been wearing just a tshirt and berms to work. And last Tuesday, i was wearing tshirt, berms and slippers (as i was going swimming after work with Lennel).
I'll be taking the 5.08pm bus back to Bedok and by the time I'm home, it's about 5.30pm or so.
And I've been vegetarian for dinner the past week. Yes, i know that it's fattening, but it's cheap, nice and good. $2.50 for 4 ingredients and rice. $3 for 5 ingredients and rice. Cheap right????? I'm actually saving quite a bit now. My total expenditure per day if i do not go out with friends (from home to office and home) is the following: Transport ($0.65 * 2 = $1.30), Lunch $1.50 (but i usually add 1 or 2 ingredients as the set meal only consists of 1 veg and 1 other, be it meat or fish; take it as $3 in total at the most), Dinner $3; In Total = $7.30 (Round it up to $8). See how much i save? Gee, i'm glad!
So what do i do with so much time? Nothing to do so i just surf Trevvy, no more of Channel NewsAsia as i read the entire Straits Times (well, almost.) and check my mails. Then, it's Maplestory - that's what boredom can lead to. I'm now at level 34, 8.74%.
I'll try as much as possible to sleep at 10pm. However, that's not possible most of the time. I do force myself to go to bed before midnight, to ensure that I've at least 7 hours of sleep. Oh ya, and I'm now sleeping in my parents room together with them as the aircon in my room is spoilt. The repairman's coming this Saturday to fix it.
My contract with SingNet's coming to an end. I'm currently on 512kpbs SingNet Broadband and paying $47.25 per month. Should i re-contract for another 2 years and upgrade to 5mbps for $49.95 per month or go for StarHub MaxOnline, for a minimum of 6 months (no contract, minimum period required else a termination fee will be imposed) , 6mbps at$58.80 per month? StarHub however also has a promotion, giving away a Samsung 29" SlimFit TV worth S$1099, but you'll be tied to a 2 year contract. In comparison, SingNet's charging $9.99 per 1mbps while StarHub's charging $9.666 per 1mbps. I'm now stuck.
Think I should go sleep and not let this bother me. I'll let my parents decide for me.
Goodnight peeps!

1st day of work @ ESH
It's my first day of work at East Shore Hospital's (ESH) Operating Theatre (OT). Did nothing much today. All i did was to sit down and stare at the computer screen, reading through numerous documents and policies of the hospital. I was freezing cold - the OT was so cold and i was just wearing a thin layer of clothing, known as a scrub suit. And in the OT, you wear slippers. Not those flip flops, but those like what the aunties wear... I saw someone wearing crocs, so i've decided to get myself a pair of slippers or crocs, as long as it looks glam.
So i went to Bugis Junction after work and walked around. I couldn't find any nice or glam ones. Who would want a pair of red, pink (a color which i like though) or grey crocs with mickey mouse cuttings??? I saw a pair of slippers from Nike (not too bad actually) priced at $40 when i can actually get something similar from Bata at about $10. I didn't buy in the end.
I'm still on a lookout for a pair of glam slippers or crocs. Shopping for it continues this Friday.
And i'm confused. My Nurse Manager (NM) says that i can start to work shift after about 3 weeks and my Assistant Director of Nursing (ADN) says i would need at least 4 to 6 months as OT's a specialised field. So, for now, I'm working office hours. Mon to Fri: 8.30am to 5pm and alternate Saturdays: 8.30am to 1pm. Sundays and Public Holidays: OFF! Whee~~~ It's a public holiday for me this Friday~~ It's Good Friday - a special and lucky day of every year (coz it's good) and you're supposed to do good things. So do anything as long as it's good on 6 April 2007, 0000hrs to 2359hrs.
I'm turning in now. Very tired and i've to be up by 7.15am tomorrow. Ciaoz!

Eventful Week
It's been another eventful week.
It's a roller coaster ride of emotions and feelings. From being happy to stressed and sad.
I've since stopped working in my present company. I'll be starting work in East Shore Hospital's Operating Theatre this Wednesday.
I was at Taboo yesterday and I saw Julian drunk. Hehe... And my boss thinks that lulu was my partner. haha...
I'm bored, with nothing to do. :(
And yes, for those of you using MSN, please be cautious. There're lotsa viruses spreading. It comes in the form of an attachment, with the name of photo album or something (it's in a zip file). Do NOT open it.
And before, i go, here's wishing everyone a Happy April Fool's day!
