It's been raining cats and dogs everyday of late. It's particularly scary today cuz it's so major heavy and it came pretty suddenly...and here I am in the room next to the window and this bolt of lightning cracks right next to me...that's freaky. I can literally hear the "crack" sound when the lightning flashes. And as you can imagine the thunder is terribly loud too. I feel as if the storm is happening right next to me. Luckily my heart is pretty strong.
I am sOoo looking forward to going to Taiwan next week. It's going to be heaps of fun! I need a break from Singapore already! :)
Nothing much has been going on lately...Been doing some odd jobs for my aunt and lazing around surfing Youtube all day. My most recent job for my aunt was to go to a certain chinese medical centre and ask people to help us fill in some surveys. I was supposed to just give it to the patients and ask them to fill it in but I found that rude so I decided to ask them questions in a conversational way and write down their answers as they speak. You can't imagine the amount of rejection that I got at first. Out of 10, maybe 5 people were willing to do the survey and only 1 out of the 5 was happy to do it. Some people see you approaching and even before you ask them anything, they shake their head. But with the bad comes the good. Some people were super nice (they were mostly older folks). Sometimes we got carried away chatting about chinese medicine and they started telling me about their past and their children. I enjoy talking to old folks because they have been through so much and they have so many interesting tales to tell and words of wisdom to pass on. It's a pity that many youngsters nowadays find them a nag.
Got accepted for relief teaching in Jan (not looking fwd to that but the pay is good) and awaiting internship next year as well (not looking fwd to that either). Why can't I just stay at home and vegetate?
Went to the club to bowl and play pool with my pa and brother yesterday. I suck at bowling (maybe cuz I've only done it twice)!! The freaking ball just won't move in a straight line. Oh yah bowling is so much cheaper here than in Aus...but Aus has glow in the dark bowling...how cool is that...it's prob better too cuz pple can't see ur face and u wun malu urself...I suck at pool too but not as bad as bowling *sniggers*. Looking fwd to badminton this sat with cousins. I haven't had a good game of baddy in ages. Not since Michy left Melbourne *sobsob*. My racquet is rusty.
Look!!! This is the Chilli crab (it's really called Chilli crab...there's even a recipe on the tag) that I got from my aunt's conference (sponsored by the Singapore Tourism Board). Each visitor got one in their goodie bag. It's so cuttteeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! :P
I've been having heaps of fun transferring files from my lappie to my phone and vice-versa using infrared. I feel like a swa ku!! :P
Ok just wanted to update that's all, wun bore u all any longer. Merry X'mas!!!
