i think that helping others sincerely is a truely great feeling...
i guess as wad Denise says... some jc students are just there to fulfuil cip hours...
when you help... the way you help really shows alot if you care... its shows if ur jus there to clock in cip hrs... it kinda shows where ur coming from... is it from the heart or it jus another thing in a day that you need to do....
i kinda miss volunteering in inner mongolia and sarawak... both trips have allowed me to see the other side of the lesser privileged living in different environments... i wouldn't consider the ppls in kampong kiding,sarawak as under privileged... because they are still quite sufficient in some ways... i still a great time and i enjoyed living in a kampong with flying ants flying ard at nite when i sleep (especially when its raining)
i will definately go back there again if i have a chance to...

came home... had my subway dinner... took my medicine and wen to sleep... received a msg when i was still half awake... called back... the voice on the other end was a sleepy voice... din sound quite good either... sounds syrupy and coughing... so i'd tot i'd better put down the phone to let the other voice on the other end continue sleeping and resting... maybe she'd call me later at nite todae...

i'm sick...
vomited FIVE times yesterdae... 3am.4am.5am.6am.7am.
every hr i woke up... ran to the kitchen and vomited...
the 4th and 5th time there was alr nth left to vomit.. but i still vomited... my stomach still contracted and vomited... nth to vomit... only stomach juices...
the feeling sucks... i felt like a zombie... i cant sleep i cant move ard much cus of the stomach pain... and every hr i will wake up to vomit... i din feel like i slept at all... =(
wanted to send me to A&E cus no docs were opened so early in the morning... but i said dun need...
saw the doc in the afternoon... he took my temperature and found tt i was running a temperature... he said i had intestine infection... some sort of food poisoning... and he straight away give me 2 daes mc... so far i din get 2 daes mc before... if there's mc normally its jus one dae... and he gave me two daes mc straight away todae..
i took the whole lot of medicine he prescribed... almost more den SIX pills... crazy... and i vomited 3 out shortly after taking it...
i sleep the whole afternoon... din had lunch... dinner had plain porridge...
when i first vomited... the first thing tt came to my mind was wheather nise had a tummy upset too... cus she was with me yest and maybe she could have also taken something... so i msged to ask... luckily she is fine...
my stomach still doesen feel good now...

yeah! retro fever! haaha...
i'm falling for retro dancing... *i said i wan't gonna fall in love again... but den... POP! Goes my heart~~~ blah blah blah~~~ *shakes hip violently~~ ah.. ah.. haaha...
if there's a POP poster i will surely buy it... =)
music and lyrics... nice show =)
today..
lets see... woke up kinda early todae... well... nt tt early to go for a run tho.. went to church... yup... i'm glad i did...
after which i went to vivo to meet for a movie... and boy was she so late... 45mins late?? haha... i'm not sure... but yah... had to wait... but me being me... i did nt feel angry waiting... nt even e slightest unhappiness which most ppls would have if they've waited.. i jus found a nice spot to sit at starbucks... bought a cup of vannila latte and jus read the papers there... though i said smth like "y so late... etc etc..." when she came... there wasnt even a slight bit of unhappiness in me... sometimes i wonder y am i like tt... perhaps as wad my other friend told me in a card... i'm a patient guy... maybe? i'm not too sure... =)
lunch was at marché... first time to vivo marché... =)
shopped ard vivo after lunch... and later to the movies... went into e cinema and we were sitted down alr... den she jus said "do you wanna have nachos?" den in less den one min "aiyah... hmm... i think dun wan la..." haha... i know her pattern alr... when she ask if i wans... it reallie actuallie means she wans... and also very fast will say dun wan... or change her mind... super fast! lightning speed!
i went back out to buy the nachos... and also got a drink... but shucks... i forgot tt she'd a cough and the drink was cold... offered e drink a few times w/o realising... den suddenly i realised... and i stopped offering the drink cus it was cold... shld have gotten a non-chilled bottled mineral water or smth for her...
hmm... movie was great... =)
hmm... after the movie... shopped ard... looked at books etc... i wanted to get this investment classic book... but it cost $129... but its a classic investment book... its a must read for every investor... its a classic... the lessons are timeless and very relevant even in today's investment context...
i've been reading the business times almost everydae... the recent world wide stock market plunge was in my view totally jus jittery investor's sentiments... its wad warren buffet terms as the "herd effect" and the "mood swings of the market"... the market fundamentals i feel now are still solid... china's GDP is still growing at 8% and asian markets on e whole is on the rise... and companies tt i'm following are having healthy cashflow and good managment... so the recent market crash did not reallie cause me any alarm... it jus made me look at other companies to see if there are any bargains... =) actuallie the only thing in asian markets now tt is worrying is the carry yen trade... loans in yen denominations are relatively low... and many are exploiting this to profit from the market... which in an event of a market crash... will cause huge... i mean reallie huge and massive sell offs.... this carry yen trade thou highly profitable is not healthy for the market...
hmm... alrite... too much of financial stuff here alr...
dinner was at corduroy's... =)
asked for warm water for the coughing and a'lill sore throat girl...
asked if they have herbal tea at the counter but they dun have... and even herbal infusions were sold out or smth...
wanted to get herbal tea too the other dae at the desert stall at bugis... but they dun have it too... ya... i suggested going to that desert stall at bugis the other dae instead of gg to the satay stall cus that desert stall will have smth for throat/voice... smth soothing... asked the lady at the counter wad was gd for throat/voice... she said gui ling gao... so i wen back to ask if she wanted to have gui ling gao... but she din wan... so i suggested sharing... but she din wan too... i din say out tt gui ling gao was gd for throat but i knew it was... haha... erm... cus the aunty said so... =)
pi pa gao... works on me very well... but on her doesn't seem to work...
microwave... shakespear... fishball... lols... tt kinda ended the day todae... =)
lols... and an mrt squeeze back home... the squeezing in motion and facial expression was classic... lols... =)
