You Are 40% Lady

You tend to make up your rules of etiquette, throwing all conventions aside. And while you try to be a lady (sometimes), your behavior is often quite shocking.

Are You A Lady?

*guffaw*

You Are 56% Gross

You're more than a little gross, but probably no more gross than the average person. Maybe it's time to drop some of those disgusting habits that could eventually embarrass you!

How Gross Are You?

whoopsie.

You Are 58% Vain

You're a little vain, but more than anything you have a healthy amount of confidence. Thinking the world of yourself is great. Just don't think less of those who aren't as pretty as you!

How Vain Are You?

hey, they said it, not me!

to you: pffft!!

You Are 80% Happy

You are a very happy person. Generally, you feel content and that all is right with the world. Occasionally, you have a down day - but you have the ability to pick yourself right back up.

How Happy Are You?

yep, i know i'll be ok. :D

Lalala lalala la la lala la Ohh

I'm obsessive when just one thought of you comes up
I'm aggressive just one thought of closing off
You got me stressing, incessantly pressing the issue
'Cause every moment gone you know I miss you
I'm the question and you're of course the answer
Just hold me close boy 'cause I'm your tiny dancer
You make me shaken up, never mistaken
But I can't control myself, got me calling out for help

S.O.S. please someone help me
It's not healthy... for me to feel this way
Y.O.U. are making this hard,
I can't take it, see it don't feel right
S.O.S. please someone help me
It's not healthy... for me to feel this way
Y.O.U. are making this hard
You got me tossin' and turnin', can't sleep at night

This time please someone come and rescue me
'Cause you on my mind it's got me losing it
I'm lost, you got me lookin' for the rest of me
Love is testing me but still I'm losing it
This time please someone come and rescue me
'Cause you on my mind, it's got me losing it
I'm lost, you got me looking for the rest of me,
Got the best of me, so now I'm losing it

Just your presence and I second guess my sanity
Yes it's a lesson, it's unfair, you stole my vanity
My tummy's up in knots so when I see you I get so hot
My common sense is out the door, can't seem to find the lock
Take on me (uh huh) you know inside you feel it right
Take me on, I could just die up in your arms tonight
I'm out with you, you got me head over heels
Boy you keep me hanging on the way you make me feel

Boy, you know you got me feeling open
And boy, your love's enough with words unspoken
I said boy I'm telling you, you got me open
I don't know what to do it's true
I'm going crazy over you,
I'm begging.


it's tuesday night. i'm home earlier than usual, and i have free time on my hands... so i watch my mtvs.

the yearning to dance hits me harder when i know i can't. *frustrated*

*panic*

okok i gotta sleep in 10 min so i'll make this quick. i...

1. cut my hair real short
2. went for adults' camp
3. brought the kiddos to the church carnival
4. have purplish-glittery nails that the girls forced on me (oh! the peer pressure... ok maybe not exactly peer per se)
5. played with the kids when there was less of a crowd at the carnival -

ok this one must elaborate. they had those inflatable things for kids right? so there were two huge slides side by side - very steep. i rejected the kids everytime they said 'cheche come and play with us la pleeeeese' ... until the end. coz less kids = i have a chance to ascend the steep slope on my 'pai kar'.

hurhur. i went mad. i scrambled all the way up, while candice went 'nonono i watch, i'll watch first'

she couldn't stop laughing.

i was up there with lycia and adeline when they kept going 'come on let's slide down!'

i had better plans.

'WEEEE~!!' i leapt off the slide and bounce, bounce, BOUNCED my way down. wah damn fun la!!!!

hehe all the kids were in awe. ingrid was just gaping and candice was like laughing really hard and going, 'okok i wanna play too!'

6. while i was happily bouncing away and having my nails painted, apparently jun and al were rushing down to collect my birthday cake! IT WAS CHOCOLATE FUDGE BANANA!!

well u guys know i really do not like banana unless they're fried to a crisp and oh, so, yummy... mmm... goreng pisang... *lao nua*

anyways i made an exception this time. IT WAS SO GOOD!! it was from 'awfully chocolate'. everyone should try it. oh my. *lust*

and lastly...

7. am gonna be FREAKING BUSY.

bubbai!! XD

Evil laughter.

oh before i get into the main content of this post, i'd just like to say a HUGE

"THANK YOU!!" to all who msged me, to my cell who came down and surprised me halfway through dinner, and my girlies who celebrated by having dinner/drinks/pool with me.

i wasn't in the best of moods (i think it's my weird haircut and maybe a little bit of pms) but u guys helped me pull through.

i'm really sorry if i really couldn't smile for your sake yesterday; i really appreciated the gestures, but i was just stressed out. so many things to do, but so many activities going on at the same time. i need a time-out soon.

anyway, enough whiny.

I'M TAKING MY STITCHES OUT TODAY!!!

more pictures, anyone? heh.

have a blah birthday!

i don't know. i've lost the mood to celebrate.

ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


it's my party and i'll cry if i want to...

no running away now!

me to nurse: nurse, nurse! can i take a photo???
nurse: of course can la! haha, very fun right! come i help u. (gloved finger in 2nd picture)

me: so how many stitches are there?
nurse: one, two, three, four, five... (bends my toe sideways) ... six, seven... (peers at the side of my toe) SEVEN!
me: eeyur.

yes, to all of you who've been avoiding the link to my A&E photos... you can't hide from it now! muahahahahahahahaha.

i is evil. XD

/runaway

i've finally reached a point where i just want to get away from everyone.

i don't understand my honours project, and it shows in my proposal that lacks any form of depth. and i seem to be heading in no direction, and there's hardly any progress made in it, that i really fear having no results whatsoever.

that's one.

a second thing would be because... i just want to get away from people sometimes.

to walk away from all that noise, and to go into a sanctuary that exudes peace and balance. i really need to find some balance in my life; juggling my time for all the activities.

i'm beginning to feel a tad stretched out.

The Wild Rose

Random Brutal Love Dreamer (RBLDf)




Colorful, but unpicked. You are The Wild Rose. Prone to bouts of cynicism, sarcasm, and thorns, you excite a certain kind of man. Hoping to gather you up, he flirts and winks and asks you out, ultimately professing his love. Then you make him bleed. Why? Because you're the rare, independent, self-sufficient kind of woman who does want love, but not from a weakling. You don't seem to take yourself too seriously, and that's refreshing. You aren't uptight; you don't over-plan. Romance-wise, sex isn't a top priority--a true relationship would be preferable. For your age, you haven't had a lot of bonafide love experience, though, and this kind of gets to core of the issue. You're very selective.
The problem is them, not you, right? You have lofty standards that few measure up to. You're out there all right, but not to be picked up by just anyone.

"You're never truly single as long as you have yourself."

playgrounds are evil.

after all the rambling i realized i totally forgot to explain why i got injured in the first place.

it was the last game for the night after kids cell, so we decided to have a round of catching at melville's playground. i was trying to catch one of the boys when i made a sharp turn, and my feet got caught somehow, and i twisted and fell.

i lay there for awhile, stunned, because i knew something was wrong and i didn't want to see how bad it was.

until one of the kids nearby told me there was BLOOD.

aileen sprinted off to get some tissue, and adeline was trying to get some order with the kids. i sat up, and took a look at my foot.

there was evidence of a blood spray on the soft playground floor, and i could tell the source was from my big toe - it was such a bloody mess but i had no idea where in my big toe. i thought it might have been a nail tear, or a small cut that somehow released a whole lot of blood. i just sat there staring at my toe.

adeline saw the look on my face, so once the kids gave me some space she bent to ask me where the injury was. i don't know how, but i just had this horrible dread that crept up unto me, and i knew immediately it was there - the crease on my big toe.

i heard this very foreign voice saying that it's there, while pointing, but i didn't feel like me at all. was probably in a shocked state while i shifted gear and let my basic instincts take over.

then i bent my big toe to see how deep the gash was before the blood clotted up.

i saw my toe bend... and my skin just opened up. it was a clean tear, no fraying ends or anything, but i saw the deepness and caught sight of something whitish when the wound was opened - it was such a morbid sight. that was when i felt faint and started seeing stars. but the kids were there and i didn't want to scare them, so i tried talking normally though all my sentences were disjointed and broke off halfway for me to stare into space.

aileen came back and wrapped my toe in tissue while asking me if i could walk to the nearby clinic. i looked at her and nodded. so we stood up, and i hobbled to the stairs while still seeing stars. my mouth was dry, so i took a sip of water.

and promptly puked into a cardboard box. i took quite awhile.

i tried to explain that i might not be able to walk anymore coz i felt so faint i just wanted to succumb to it. but aileen didn't see how deep the gash was, and she thought i was just reacting due to shock, and there was no cab around, so we continued walking while taking many stopovers for me to get blood back into my head.

apparently my face was glowing in the dark night coz i was so pale.

we walked all the way to the clinic opposite melville - i don't know how i managed it. i guess knowing i was almost reaching it pushed me... until we got there.

it was closed.

i couldn't walk anymore by then so we hailed a cab to tampines' 24-hour clinic. i went in, and the doctor peeled off my tissue and took a look. immediately she told us to go to the A&E at CGH because it's too deep and i require serious stitching.

she gave me a fruit-plus sweet coz i freaked out.

by this time i was in less of shock-mode, less stars, more comprehension of what was going on. still a bit dazed, but could say hi to dellia, sara and carolyn who happened to be nearby and came down. after paying for consultation ($37 - the bloodsuckers!!) aileen and dellia rushed me in a cab to CGH.

guess which cab came to my rescue?

a mercedes cab. :)

when we got to CGH, alvin was already there waiting - he was watching the Argentina match at his friend's at simei. at that point i was beginning to go into a 'happy tralala try to ignore bloodied foot' phase. i mean, if i kept on freaking out it wouldn't help aileen and bunch, would it? and i was right, aileen was pretty freaked when she saw how pale i became.

we got a queue number and settled down. went in for a basic check-up by the nurse first, any concussion? headache? how bad is the pain (stupidly told her 'oh, it's ok la. maybe 7/10.'), and she checked for blood pressure, temperature and drug allergies.

there might have been a point where i tried to inject too much joy and could not stop laughing and talking loudly. my goodness, i felt like i was going mad. according to al i was still in shock judging from the way i talked and my eyes were kinda unfocused.

then dennis came to join dellia when my number was called. i went in accompanied by del, lammy, and al, while the doctor took off the gauze wrapping (from the 24-hour clinic) while i cringed and really, really, wanted to cry. but i didn't because if i let that happen i might've totally lost control and let the whole incident overwhelm me.

i felt so frightened and out of my skin. but i was so blessed to have 3 people who just kept trying to keep my mind off all the fear by telling me jokes. :)

then i had to go for an x-ray to find out if i had any fractures, so del and dennis went home first (but not before i reached out and patted her belly, heh). after it was done, i took it back to the doc and she mentioned that i'll need a tetanus jab, and at least 2 jabs for local anaesthesia.

sianded.

the tetanus jab burned like crap and now i look as if i've had 2 BCGs done on my arm, and then when i went into the operating theatre, aileen and al couldn't enter, so i got the major heebie-jeebies.

i lay down on the cold stretcher and got a blanket from the friendly nurse but i just. couldn't. stop. shuddering!!!

then the doctor said she was going to give me 2 jabs first and a stitch up to close the wound.

IT HURT SO BAD. it was even worse than having the tear because it went straight to the nerve and stung. no, it felt more like my nerve was getting sucked out slowly. and she only numbed the front of my toe, so when she started to stitch into the back of my toe, i yelped.

so she had to put anaesthesia again.

this time i screamed before i bit on the blanket, arched my back and squeezed my eyes shut. when i opened them, i started crying a little, and didn't stop until she finished up the stitches. i have no idea how many there were, i didn't dare look.

so after all the drama, i limped outside to look for alvin and aileen, then collected my medicine and left.

it was so horrible. don't ever run in your slippers.

the painkillers don't work.

i've finally experienced going into shock.

1st stage:
stunned silence ---> seeing millions of stars ---> puking ---> turning ghostly pale ---> inability to walk ---> unfocused eyes ---> disjointed sentences

2nd stage:
wheeling around on a wheelchair ---> taking pictures of my bloody foot and my A&E experience ---> becoming really perky and grinning all the way

i don't know, i guess i try to put my mind off the pain by laughing it off...

thanks to the 2 insanely lame people (aileen and alvin) that came along and made the whole situation that much better. oh, all the corny jokes they made - 'i knee to run away'; 'her sentences are disjointed', 'so who's footing the bill?' etc - u should've seen me trying to get out of hearing range as fast as possible, using my one good foot to push/steer myself on the wheelchair.




i stopped trying to escape after they locked my wheelchair and made me sit there, listening to them laughing at their own lame jokes. -_-

some of the few things they did:

1. lame jokes galore
2. aileen suggesting taking pictures of my first ever A&E experience - she got kinda shutter happy after the 2nd shot (ehhh let's take this! and that! wow, operating theatre!!!)
3. alvin going 'beep, beep, beep' while steering my wheelchair backwards (ala a parking car)
4. taking a video of me steering my wheelies (weee!!)
5. alvin doing hand directions while aileen was wheeling me, like i was an incoming aeroplane (i'm not that big leh!! airbus ahh?! *indignant*)
6. both of them watching the gruesome peeling off of my gauze while i gripped them and turned away cringing.
7. aileen being all cool and calm though i looked like a ghost and was actually freaking her out on the inside.

i really thank God for them, or i would've just gotten into shock, all pale and trembly and possibly sobbing away coz it's so freaking painful... but i might've tried to look more ghastly so i'd be attended to quickly, and not being all cheerful and telling the nurse 'oh um, not very pain la. *grin*'

i could hear aileen, and alvin smacking their foreheads behind me.

also thank God for the kids - i think i might have traumatized them coz of all the blood that's all over the playground now, but they were so concerned and told their parents about it so i had a few offers for a ride home/to the hospital.

i feel so loved. and they kept me entertained by msging me. i have great kids!! :D

and lastly, thank God no nerves were torn, and there wasn't any fractures. it was merely cosmetic. a really long and deep gash, but i just needed stitches.

heng ah. but now, my birthday howww???

photos from the kids camp last week (great fun!)

photos around the A&E

*ahem*

i just came back from kel's surprise birthday party (more like a gathering, actually). before i ramble on, lemme just say:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOOFY-GOOBERRRRRRR!! (i'm a goofy-goobaaaaa *furious hip-jutting*)

yay. she's my goofy-goober friend. :D

anyways, when we speak of kel's bdae, we always speak of jobyna's bdae (which is tmr hor, don't forget). AND MINE!!! which is exactly one week away from kel's.

which means it's next thurs. ok? don't forget. ok? ok?

...

ok?

yeah i think u've got that. i love how thick-skinned i am. tralalala.

yo, so kel got CASH as her present!! so she can get her 'tai-tai' wallet.

therefore, if you have cash and no idea of what i really really want -

"so, tell me what you want! what u really really want! i wanna! i wanna! i wanna! i wanna! i wanna really really really wanna zigga-zig-*AH*." (<---- reminiscence of the karaoke day)

- you can gimme cash! *$$ KA-CHINGGG $$*

so i can get a cheap canon 4.0 megapixel digicam.

and take many pictures of myself.

(i know there's at least ONE person who doesn't know what to get me. yeah, you. reading this post right now.

unless if you're angel/mel/xinwei - SHOE SHOPPING WOO HOO!!!! NO MORE STINKY LAB SHOES!!! THAT HAVE BEEN WORN WITHOUT WASHING FOR 3 YEARS!!! XD)

that will make me really happy. and that's what i "really really want!"

(i love the spice girls.)

p.s. paisei, i seem to be high. must have been nel's yuan-yang combined with wonky system due to severe lack of rest.

*bleary-eyed*

having world cup, an IC50 determination experiment set-up, honours project proposal, church activities ALL coming together at one go is not good.

oh yes, and i need to read up on the mole concept by saturday morning 9am, straight after all of the above are over. oh man, i only have 3 days...

just let me whine for a bit. *sigh*

can't believe the work in the lab. leaving at 930pm the past few nights... and we're not leaving NTU tonight at all!!

yeah, overnight experiment, though me and alvin have no idea why we have to do an overnight experiment. *groan* i even dragged my sleeping bag along. and inflatable pillow.

i just wanna go home. and sleep. and then wake up at 3am for germany vs poland.

this is our last goodbye.

i really want to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

i got more!!

er, i couldn't control myself.

splurge.

pictures up soon.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

what i've indulged in the past 5 hours.

i've gone mad.

you know those turning machines that churn out plastic balls lining suntec's 3rd floor? i went on a spree... there.

they had anime figurines!!! i couldn't help it!! T_T

here's what i've made so far.

so fun to put them together from smaller parts. :)

tell me...

what's the difference between 'interface' and 'interlayer'?

from google define:

interface - The common boundary between two substances such as a water and a solid, water and a gas, or two liquids such as water and oil.

interlayer - a layer placed between other layers.

IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND??!!!!

gah!!! KILL KILL KILL!!!!

...

stop pouting.

ok fine, who else doesn't geddit.

shy-zonts vs skit-zonts.

(above) how would u pronounce 'schizonts'?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

anyway, i am crazy busy nowadays... worked like mad for my honours project proposal (coz i was being all last minute. again.), and tomorrow it's finally (shaky) hands-on!

then there's kids camp this weekend, and i'm really praying mummy won't stop me from going.

ARGH THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO!

*flounders*

ok viv. breathe in, breathe out.

i need to:

- find out how much blood to feed my parasite 'pets' tmr

- whack my proposal into place... need to read more protocols, need to think of concrete plans to carry out my experiment, not just:

step 1. grow parasite
step 2. expose parasite to drug
step 3. microarray

...

seriously, that was all i put in my proposal. T_T

- check what to bring for camp, and what the activities will be, what's required of me as a group leader, what to do with the extra vacancies left behind by 3 last minute drop outs.

GAH!

- oh, oh. and check out the prices for dance classes. are u interested? lemme know.

pant.

you begin to wonder why you came

i'd just gotten to know this girl who recently joined the children's club; her name's licia, and she's just six years old.

i called them (licia and her sis, lynette) for the first time at their home to let them know where the activities would be held tomorrow.

me: hi lynette! we're going to play frisbee at the fitness corner tomorrow; meeting at 630 yeah?
lynette: okay.

(background screaming: vivien?? is that vivien???? iwannatalktovivien!)

that was obviously licia. she decided i was 'very pretty' (along with cherie, 6) and 'very fun!!' at ashley and melissa's birthday party, while we were stuffing our bears.

[yes, we made bears: it was the take-home gift]

then licia had a sound module fitted into her bear's hand and she kept running to me, tugging my hand and asking me to press her bear's left paw.

'i love you! i love you!'

sigh. she's so adorable.

so the conversation continues...

me: hello licia!!!
licia: is this vivien? hello vivien... (you can practically hear her grinning) where are we going tomorrow?
me: oh we're going to the fitness corner!
licia: ... huh...?
me: erm, FIT-NESS COR-NER.
licia: cleanest corner? so the place is going to be very clean? (can hear her going all wide-eyed)
me: nono! hahaha! fitness corner!
licia: oh. ok, vivien! i play with u tomorrow vivien! :D

i love her to bits. such a bundle of joy!


... yes, i need loads of joy right now.
