Hey all, I'm back from my 8 days of eating, walking & eating in Taipei. The trip was fun! I'll update more on my trip when I'm more free. Still trying to sort out the 1000 over pieces of pictures we took. Tough task!!
These 2 days I got lots of time to do the sorting out of stuff and unpacking of my luggage. Not that I'm still on leave, but it's that I'm on 2 days of MC!! Don't know to rejoice over it or feel sad. But I'm definitely depressed whenever I look at my left arm. It's no different from an elephant's leg now coz it's so swollen and covered with rashes as compared with my right arm.
My Taipei trip was really good but I simply couldn't wait to fly back to Singapore coz the itchness on my left shoulder and arm is torturous and I couldn't wait to see a doctor. Afterall, on a foreign land, I'm not used to visiting the doctors in Taipei and would rather withstand the itchness & discomfort for a week before I can fly back to see the doctor in Sg. So my rashes just spreaded, from a small patch to the entire arm. It's scary manz!!! Howver, my plane only managed to touch down in Sg on Wednesday night, which means that I have to endure another night of agony before I can see the doc. This is the 1st time that I simply can't wait to see my doc. Haha...
Well, the doc was shocked to see my swollen left arm. So obvious! *But at 1st I thought it's because I've eaten too much in Taipei & has gained weight! Stupid me!!!* He suspected that I was biten by some insect or whatever creature, which then resulted in allergic reactions. Think that my skin's getting more sensitive ever since I started working as a chemist. Sigh.. I guess I got to make some plans to switch line or something ;-( The doc prescribed some strong antifungal cream and tablets for me. But if it still doesn't recover by tmr, I gotta go back for a jab. Haiz... as I'm typing now, I can really feel the itchness!! Waana scratch but can't, if not will have scars ;'(
So depressed now...hope I can be back to work by Monday.

Survival of the Fittest
Hooray!!! The crazy days of purification were finally over, at least for the moment. I've been working like nuts, doing OTs everyday, since last week, and at last, I've managed to clear all my reactions and paperwork. =p Yup, I know that work is endless, but this time round it's really a tough war to fight. And soon after I'm back from my Taipei trip, which begins tomorrow, I'll embarked on my new project and and at the same time clear up my old one. Life's getting tougher and tougher... But who cares?? Let me enjoy my next 8 days of stressful, fun-filled time in Taipei. YEAH YEAH!!! More updates when I'm back then Stay tuned!!! ;-)

我快崩溃了
The work these 2 weeks, this week especially, is driving me nuts. I've been working from 8+am til 7+pm almost everyday and my stuff are giving me lots of trouble. Damn. 我快疯了!!! I'm really exhausted, not so much physically but rather mentally. This seems to be the worst period in my 1.5 years on this job. Everything just doesn't seem to go the way I wanted. Sigh... 为什麽？I felt so demoralised, so incompetent. But luckily, things have turned for the better today. 我好开心！我终于 meet 了我的 deadline! Really got a great sense of achievement today!! Yoho!!!! Probably this is the realistic life of a researcher. Many failures, which are indeed very demoralising. But a single success is good enough to make up for all the sufferings and tortures undergone. Haha... I'm so happy & proud of myself today. 加油！！
I can't wait, I can't wait!!! 多六天就能飞往台北杜加了。I'm so excited!! But there's lots of things unsettled due to my busyness & lazyness. Haha..

Shopping Therapy...
Sigh, my previous blog entry was the first one that I've attempted to write in mandarin but it all turned out to be some arabic words. Sigh...I've spent so much time doing it, earned so many dark circles. Sad...Who knows how to solve it??
Anyway, past week has been stressful, I guess this coming week gonna be even more hectic. The deadline for my sample submission is 15th yet I'm still a step away from it. The final step is a tedious purification! Sigh...so gonna have packed lunches and OTs for next week. God bless! Praying hard that I get the quantity I need (*I consider myself as a free thinker thou, so which god should I pray to??!!*)
Today has been a pretty "rushy" day. My journey: YCK ->Yishun ->Toa Payoh -> Orchard -> YCK. Went Yishun for my 3 hours straight tuition, then Toa Payoh to collect my new nerdy specs (but I like it!! And I only paid $48 for that!! haha...good bargain!!), then Orchard for some trial service and some shopping before heading home. Thou the tuition classes last for 3 hours, it was fun! I enjoyed tutoring this family - the young sec 1 gal and her mama. It was really interesting to teach the mama mandarin. Heez.. Probably I should switch job to become a tutor instead. Haha... Wait long long bah, definitely not now....maybe many years later!
I think I've spent really alot recently. So stressed up that I've been on a shopping & spending therapy these few days. Bought specs, clothes, bag, shoes. Spent 30 bucks for dinner yesterday. WAH!!! So sinful, especially when I'm going Taiwan soon. Okok....gotta tone down liao, so packed lunches for next week should help me tone down on my spending. Less entertainment. Shall spend my subsequent weekends nuaing / msn at home (since it's free!!! Or at least I'm not paying for the water & electric bill mah. Only paying for the broadband, which gives unlimited access!!! Muahahah)
Self control, SELF CONTROL!!!!

心烦的日子
她：“你寂寞吗？”
我心想：这句话好熟悉，好像在哪儿听过。哦，对了！这不是那些1900热线爱用的开头语吗？ 别误会！我可不是拨了那热线。Ah Von 一大早就问了我这个问题。
我：人难免会有感到寂寞的时候。尤其是当你发现周围的人都 attached了，而你却独自一个人的时候，这种感觉就更强烈。
我反问她：“你很寂寞吗？还不快去找个伴？”
。。。。。。
。。。。。。。
。。。。。。。。
在上班的路上，我边看Today,边想：Ah Von 也不小了。是时候找个伴了。总觉得她近来有些心烦。或许是工作压力还有刚生了一场病吧，心情似乎不是很好。 Haiz,其实我也好不到哪儿去。近来因工作的deadlines一个接着一个地来，上头又逼得比较紧，so 蛮 stressed 的。这也造成了我的脾气变得比较暴躁，胃口也变得不好。 有时也想：难道找个伴就不寂寞了吗？无论如何，我不希望自己为了要填补空虚或寂寞而找个伴。这对我，对我或对他都是不公平的。*Sounds so novel,yah?* Haha... 我也不希望因为 peer pressure 而随随便便地找一个伴。这只会搞得自己不开心，更糟的是害人害己啊。 不知道为何，近来朋友总爱 set me up. 我总是被带去一些聚会，有介绍一些男生给我认识。令我觉得他们要把我给“卖掉" 似的。我知道我已经23岁了，虽然说小也不小了，但也不老啊？Why is it that 他们比我还急呢？真是好笑。我知道他们是因为关心我才这麽做的，但是这会被误会成我很 desperate 的。;'( 对于感情，我相信缘分。或许是过去的经历，也可能是缘分未到吧，我对感情事是看得很开的。就算是“孤苦伶仃”地过下半辈子，我也不觉得有太大的问题。或许是我的个性较独立 （有人叫这“孤僻”！ Haha）, 有时爱独来独往，但也觉得蛮快乐的。所以，朋友们，不要为我担心，我并没有对人生，ok, 还有男人，放弃。Wahaha.... 只不过至少在这个时候，这还不是在我人生最重要的事吧。

Over-reaction
The weather is getting hotter and more humid these days. The same goes for my mood and blood pressure - kept rising. Probably the hot weather does contribute a little to these, but I guess it's the stress that I'm facing both at work and in private. Too many things are running, and probably in all directions, making me quite frustrated. I've became very quarrelsome and easily agitated too. Probably PMS, or menopause??!!
I know that gives me no reason to over-react and get angry over a small issue. As a result, I felt really bad after the incident and did not sleep well last nite coz I know that I've frightened my friend tremendously. So sorry about it. But rest assured that our 13 years of friendship is definitely not so fragile and I can hardly tahan to be angry fro >24hrs. That's so bad for health,isn't it? Already getting old, how can I speed up the rate of ageing?
Went for my dental appointment today. Now the rubber rings have been changed from purple to blue. Haha... at first the dentist's assistant offered me pink (ya, not again!), which my colleagues say the colour sucks! I asked her to get me another colour and she got me dark blue. Not bad, still like the purple ones thou. Saw the light pink ones,shall try those next time. Haha...
2 more weeks to the end of my agony as I should be finishing up my project by then. Hate upscaling, boring & tedious! 2 more weeks to Taiwan trip too! HOORAY!!!

Nothing better to do so try this out. Pretty true leh. ;-)
Your Five Variable Love Profile
Propensity for Monogamy:
Your propensity for monogamy is medium.In general, you prefer to have only one love interest.But it's hard for you to stay devoted for too long!There's too much eye candy to keep you from wandering.
Experience Level:
Your experience level is low.You've probably either had only one relationship..Or all of your relationships have been very similar.You still have a lot to learn... and a lot to try!
Dominance:
Your dominance is low.This doesn't mean you're a doormat, just balanced.You know a relationship is not about getting your way.And you love to give your sweetie a lot of freedom.
Cynicism:
Your cynicism is medium.You'd like to believe in true and everlasting love...But you've definitely been burned enough to know better.You're still an optimist, but you also are a realist.
Independence:
Your independence is high.You don't need to be in love, and sometimes you don't even want love.Having your own life is very important for you...Even more important than having a relationship.
