the morning started with a heavy rain..as with many mornings recently..followed by strong, sunny sunshine!! no wonder pple have been falling sick!
anywayz..my cousin "jio-ed" me out coz she didnt have school today..and we went to the Isetan private sale..which never really registered with me so coz it's always so packed!
i bought a satin mix jumpsuit from M)phosis..quite a good buy at $34
we then proceeded to Fox at Taka and we each bought a striped shirt but in different colours..it was a good bargain..after 40% and additional 15% for UOB cardholders, we paid abt $25 each..good eh!
I also caught "Angels & Demons"..which was pretty exciting! got me to the edge of my seat a couple of times! I read the book years back and had forgotten the story..but the movie was quite well done..haha coz i remembered details of the book as the movie went on..
sigh..back to work tomorrow :(

All Girls Are The Same...
last week or 2 weeks ago, I was watching Fighting Spiders - a local production of Singapore set in the 1960s. I have never really been drawn to local productions, except for those hilarious sitcoms and Growing Up.
I caught an episode of Fighting Spiders few weeks back and was hooked coz it never failed to make me laugh, especially the character Charlie or mayb it;s the cute little actor, Lin Shijie.
There was a particular episode that stirred me a little. 1 of the characters, Tony, was having a chat with his mum abt this girl he was interested in.
When his mum asked, he replied, "She's different.."
Mum: All girls are the same.
Treat her with respect, make her feel safe and be a gentleman.
This statement stuck with me..and in a way, hauntingly..that scene..it keeps replaying in my mind. In a way, the statement, so simple yet true. To me, at least.

Long weekend and the week
On Wed, i took 1/2 day off to go to CGH, for a speech therapy observation session. I had emailed them some time ago to enquire about scholarships and if it was possible for me to observe and see if this was what i really wanted to do, if I decide to study ST.
it was a good experience for me to see how they worked in a clinical setting and I feel it was closer to what i wanna do and my personality. Though I am not sure if I am careful enough for prognosis..i kinda worry i will prognose wrongly and cause some serious side effects on the patient! Lives we're talking abt here! anyways, i have to give more thought abt this coz it's a lot to give up shld i wanna study again.
It was Labour Day on Friday, 1 May and it was good coz it gave us a long weekend. But I almost had a heart attack on Thursday evening, when the admin dept called me at 6.20pm (10 mins before I knocked off), to say that we are on orange alert and had to cancel all our courses beginning Mon! duh!!
There was just not enough time to call the participants and facilitator to inform them the course is cancelled, not for this week at least. But my DD managed to speak to the admin manager and convinced them tat our courses will need to continue for this week and we will handle it for the coming weeks. The things the H1N1 virus is doing!
On thurs evening, i met up with Anne to catch Wolverine. I was really looking forward to it but it turned out quite forgettable overall. But there were a few hunks in the show to keep me occupied haha
On Fri evening, i met up with Mei for dinner at ECP (yey!! after so long!) and the Pearl after tat for drinks at the beach. It was long time ago the 3 of us actually gathered and it was good to have the company of friends again. I remember posting on FB that it was difficult meetin up with friends who have gotten attached/married.
Then I wanna complain now that friends do look for me but all at the same time then i go into a dry spell again haha..why cant it be spread out? :p
