Yes!!!Treasure your life and the time with loved ones.

Oh, Mr Lim, it's sternum.(quite close Mr Lim)In layman, It consists of three parts, connecting the ribs from both sides, forming the thoracic wall.ribs will articulate with the sternum via costal cartilages.A "punch" on the sternum causes stress to whatever found inside the thoracic cage.

Yes! Pls appreciate your armpits too...it consists of so many "things", connecting the body to the upper limb and it is very vulnerable.Never ever get yourselves involved in a fracture.The pain may go but the functions of the limbs will be affected in one way or another.Pls dont ever take your body for granted.Never assume that you are healthy. People often have the misconception that after recovering from certain serious illness or injuries, he is almost 100% Ok! Nope, recovery takes some time unlike the normal cough and flu.

Did some readings on art therapy.Another thing that will do good to your mental health is never to be so judgemental. be it to others or yourself.The right brain doesnt really judge things.It is the left brain that does all the logical thinking and "forces" you to convince yourself something that your emotions do not really feel. For eg,the left brain reminds you of all the norms in your culture and hinders your understanding of how you really feel by directing your ill feelings towards something else(like blamming yourself/saying things like"it is wrong to be angry as nice girls dont do that"). It is only your "heart"(a.k.a right brain) that can actually dig out the root of your negative feelings. So, why verbal counselling sessions may not work that well? that's becos, when one tries to express himself through words, he goes thru the logical left brain and picks "correct" words.It is scientifically proven that we often accept info around us thru images and so, scribbling "rubbish" on a blank piece may help one to discover oneself better.Haha...just sharing with you.Maybe you may not understand what i am talking about as i am not that good at explaining in words.I need to show you some actions.(me moving and swinging hands)

Anyway, i am a half-baked potato.Give me not 2.5 yrs more but 25 more yrs!!!HAHA....till then.

Take care,

lalala.... i am so free (part 2)

I think Sentosa quite a mess now.Is there a one night chalent thing...on the weekend?I think it is a little too ambitious but a good effort if we try to relive the two days we ahd last yr.

By the way, when i hear my mom complaining, i feel blessed...it gives me the feeling that i am spending time with her leh...dont know why.Lying down and hugging her is a great feeling that i havent been doing for yrs... Making my father annoyed when i giggle at his nagging is also another blessing man....touching his balding head and making him afraid.And yes... jokes that run in the family.You know what kind of genre...leave it to your imagination.dont think too far.

Spend time with your family.Then you wont have regrets.you will feel better when you work,study or volunteer.

awaiting the gd news... :)

Lalala i am so free

Lalala, i am slacking...this is the first school holidays that doesnt require u to do much, just minimal self revision.

So, i actually picked up self-water colour painting.Tuitioning..and of course helping my brother.Yes, i do help up with house work, but My mom is always complaining that i am not conscientious enough and alert. Forget things here and there.

Always doing things like calling ppl(to get their chest width for Clinical T-shirt, hee i
get to know everyone's...just joking), class voluntary work, outings and 03S10 gathering.talking about gathering. i think it is enjoyable.Hope that there will be an increase in participation if we pick a better time! So, lyn hopefully can join us when u r back.

Basically, my mom says " your heart is not at home! you are right that you dont intend to marry.Your husband will suffer!and of course, if u invite ur BF for dinner, dont expect me to do it for u!!!"Blah Blah, as i wash something. this is all becos, i forgot to switch off the fishtank lights and washed all the dishes except the rice pot hidden in the rice cooker.these kind of mistakes.repeating them again and again.hmm...reminds me of how i did my qns during academic sch days.

Well well, i dont mind being stuck at the stagnation stage(Erikson's eight stages of psychosocial development inpsychology).Stagnation vs generativity.It is a kind of crisis that one has to go thru in order to move on to the last stage of psychosocial development.It involves passin down to the next generation.Ok...in layman, having a family and kids.

Anyway, yup.I am doing things to keep myself occupied! Part of Occupation! I can see that this course is changing a little part of my life slowly....when would i ever take up painting! And i think i am becoming a "slower" person rather than a super fast-paced person.My mom is complaining that i am a little slower...Argh....

And to Cynthia and MR Lim, i am trying to avoid talking about cadavars(dead Bodies).So, sharing a little knowledge from psychology.

haha

It was fun!

Mid Autumn Festival Gathering

ok.. so the venue's set.. abi's place.. just next to Bukit Panjang LRT..

few of us will be meeting at 6pm to buy the stuff.. i presume those meeting earlier will be abi, yili, tess, yemin and me? anyone who can come earlier, feel free to join us too..

the rest of u guys can meet at 7pm.. den we'll going over to abi's place..

yea.. do confirm whether u're going.. and try to spread the msg around to those who dun come online often

shan-

anyone free? i guess not...haha

Just telling you guys. If you are free and would like to meet my friends.Yup, just contact me...

Here is a plan:I am sory to say, but the truth is the old folks at Ju eng( somewhere between sengkang and Yiochukang) are like waiting for time to pass so that they can pack up one day.They feedback that nothing nice on TV.i was educated by my ex-classmate that18th would be mooncake festival.Being young and active, i's sure you will try to meet up with old friends.Why not try to shift it on 17th?now, it is up to hannah to tell the in-charge once, participation is confirmed.Of course, the feasibility of this programme is impt.It will have to be small scale.It's feasibility is also dependent onthe no of people coming.

1)Ah hui, not tao hui(beancurd in hokkien) sugg to have guess lattern riddle.Hmm... what's your take on that...my comment was, "too complicated" but still possible if we can modify it to a small grp or change the traditional way of doing it.well, a modern girl like me will have to read up.
2)Hannah thinking of mooncakes and later remebered that they are diabetic. Hannah just cant resist appreciating the beauty of food.Say,Abigail sugg tea instead.
3)Abigail has finally hop on to the same freq as artistic talent, Hannah. thinking of making latterns out of red packets or coloured paper...you know the cut strips one. got the idea from ..i cant remember.hmmm, scissors is one thing.well we can get from home.will clean it for you after that.their strength is one thing..maybe wil borrow some special scissors from our labs.then, we can bring some of them to stroll in the park behind.(need just a little on the spot decoration, simple one)

oh yes, there are some malay speaking old folks and they can be quite lonely, i cant act "understanding" their language very well.(like what i did)

what's your take on that?

MCYC
due to the influx of JC students going for study break, think they face some prob with manpower.this sept hol will be with kids.Following which will be tuitioning teenagers every mon.Mon afternoon: Sarah, WY, Hui huiThurs morning: Susan, Abi and some not confirmed.Every mon in sept, abi will be tuitioning needy teens from 4-6pm.Allin Bukit batok.Thanks so much for your respond.
Abigail.Jiamay, i think i win you liao.It is a feat to type so much.thanks.

hello from melbourne!

hello everyone!

haven't left a note here in quite a while. though i still read it occasionally.
it's really nice hearing all the celebrations u guys have there...National day, teachers day, mid autumn festival. well, it's pretty different here. coz national day for example, though there are heaps of singaporeans in melbourne, it's jsut different. like you don't get constantly reminded that it's national day coz people don't put up the flags on the balcony and stuff. in fact i only remembered it was national day like halfway through the 9th! haha yeah...and moon cake festival here is kinda depressing. coz mooncakes are SUPER EXPENSIVE! like one mooncake is $10 aussie..which is abt 13 sing dollars i think! yeah. and to buy them we have to go to the suburbs to the chinese grocers to get it. i told my mummy and she said she'll send some over for me! so yay! haha. anyway, happy teacher's day mr lim!

well, i'm already in the middle of my semester. which is really fast. coz in two and a half months time i'll be back home!!! i'm quite settled here already! so yeah...life is good. definitely not as stressful as in singapore. i've got mid semester exams the next two weeks. but it's nothing like Singapore! it's just like 20 mcqs and all. yup and following that i've got two weeks of holidays! looking forward to all that!

foodwise, i'm eating ALOT here! definitely put on weight already. there's jsut so much variety ehre. and do my own grocery shopping that i buy whatever junk i wanna eat! i do miss asian snacks though. cooked chicken rice that day and i must say it was pretty good! the wonders of the bottled chicken rie paste! haha.

everyone has started uni already yeah?have fun u guys!
meanwhile, all of you enjoy the flavours of singapore!
