Yep, its been a long while.
After all big wedding business, settling down living with the in-laws, here I am again.
Its a whole new experience, staying with the in-laws. Its never the same as my old place, with my mum and dad. But, like they all say, home is where the heart is.
And its right here, with my hubby. =)
Things have been quite messy at work with the plans of shifting coming in June. The renewal of shift rosters, new colleagues, new but not moving over with us colleagues from JGH etc.
And I’ve also decided to apply for further studies. Its something which I have been thinking for for a while now. But severely lacking in financial support, particularly after the wedding as well as the coming new home.
What made me changed my usual way of doing things, which is to be fully prepared with funds before embarking on any thing major in life, can be attributed to a few people.
Of course, one of which is Marvin. His “don’t ask why, just do it” mentality may be rash at times, but it does make sense sometimes.
He often says, “how often do people speak of great plans, but never ever get down to doing it?” And most of the time, the more you ponder over something, the more deterrents you get.
Which is something that is extremely true for me. I think too much and chicken out at the end.
However, the person who showed me that all this is possible is none other than AFGA. The treasurer of SSR who is now pursuing her PhD. She had no funds, just a very clear picture of what she wants.
She went through her masters, despite of the lack of funds, despite of the lack of time, despite of having the sacrifice family time. And she made it happen all in the end.
She spent years working and studying, waking up and arriving at work before the sun rises, and staying back in NUS, doing her assignments, taking her exams, going back home after the sun sets. All these while handling audits at work, rostering and other responsibilities, as well as accounts of SSR. She just a amazing person, whose drive and focus can’t be found anywhere else.
I’m not certain if I can be like her. But she showed me and there is really no such thing as impossible.
Thank you AFGA. I will miss having you around during meetings and stuff. But i just needed you to know that you have touched at least one person in your life and that is me.
Never give up that spirit woman!

Made for Walking
This image illustrates how a woman’s shoe (left) contorts the bones of the foot and ankle and throws the weight onto the big toe joint, while a man’s boot leaves the foot in a natural position.
The cause for the increase in Weightbearing AP Bilateral Foot xrays - stilletto heels for females, our familiar friend, the hallus valgus. what to do, need to be pretty. ai mei bu yao ming.
Take Flight
A Boeing 777 jet is serviced in a hangar at Logan Airport, Boston. Over 500 separate x-rays were scanned and re-assembled to make the complete image.
woah, how’s this for a long film. you can even see this chaokeng staff, most probably the pilot, reading the papers on the cockpit?
Out of the Game
This football player, complete with protection, is about to receive treatment on the physiotherapist’s bench.
This peekture is in, solely because of personal interest. hahah
Office Life
Over 100 separate x-rays make up this picture. Don’t miss the guy on the bottom floor tackling a broken photocopier.
The photographer should have done one for the hospital. You never know what you’ll see happening in the oncall rooms of the drs. teeheehee.

yes, i am working with patients in the hospital. but by the title i meant my fellow *ahem quite perverted *ahem colleagues. all over a tube of chocolates that i offered them.
first of all, i offered them to joe, which he received with raised eyebrows, but didnt say anything. and teddy, and khoo, and our phototechs.
then, i passed it on to michael. who burst out laughing when he saw it.
“what?” i said.
“er, don’t you think it looks like something?”
“like what?”
“something very functional for females?” proceeds to snigger somemore.
“someone from australia huh, so happening. dunno what you do over there,” he went on, shaking his head.
Men. are. just. so. ……………..
Michael then asked me to offer it to Prof, which i refused. i mean, how to offer after your chocolates were associated with functional products. *snorts. he then grabbed the chocolates and asked prof whether he would like some.
“Prof, does this remind you of something else?” Michael said.
Prof gave a puzzled smile.
“you are seriously a pervert, michael.” I couldn’t help it.
and prof burst out laughing and directed THAT look at me.
“eh, not my fault hor. u’re the one who brought it here.”
“what the.” and i grabbed the tub-ish thingy and went out of the room.
after that, Prof came over to the printer at the counter to collect some papers. and he gave me That look again, ” now everytime i see you, i get reminded of that.”
“ERASE from your memory, everything that happened 20min ago!!!” i screamed.
and he walked away back to the MRI room laughing.
Oh man. this is not good.

On a super last minute notice, I was dragged to attend some formal dinner thingy at Legends with Marvin for SSR because Hweetiang is down with pneumonia, leaving her out of action for a couple of weeks. so untimely, when we have loads of work to clear for SSR.
on the car ride to legends, marvin and i were clueless as to what we were heading for. It was quite nerve-wrecking seeing that we had no idea wat the dinner was about, what time it will end, or what kind of crowd we were expecting. According to mic, we had to be there, and just mingle at the cocktail reception before the dinner. Just the thing i always try to avoid becos i’m just not a conversation carrier and mingling has never been something i enjoyed particularly. furthermore, i had to make do with just 3 hrs of slp post-night shift and had to come in late for today’s night shift.
the crowd that was there turned out to be either the presidents of other societies, the chairpersons or the managers etc. while us 2 small fries stood there, trying to fit in, not to screw things up too badly. we probably brought the average age of the participants down by 10-20 years. but, the bigshots were surprisingly amiable, and quite polite to the both of us, which i was very much thankful for. no wonder they can make it to where they are now…
even though it was a stressful event, there were a couple of people that made the atmosphere of the whole event really hearty and light. it was a joy listening to stories about the things they did when they were young, and they once again prove that dedication and passion can really bring you further than your peers. even though it was slightly out of my comfort zone, i was still glad that we went for the event because i kind of feel inspired in a certain sense. =)
but the sense of relief was still over-whelming, when we got into marvin’s car. we sat for a second in silence and turned to each other and said at the same time.
“We survived!” *inserts horrendous laughter, before driving off to start my night shift.
