Merry Christmas

Guess what I found in the pharmacy? It is a 1974-1976 British National Formulary. hehe. It is thin and not so compreshensive compared to those current versions. At a glance, it doesn't have contraindications, side effects, proprietary brands and price. So what does it have, you may ask? Well, it has dosage and strength of the more commonly used drugs in the various systems, e.g. gastrointestinal, genitourinary, cardiovascular etc...

The gingerbread house in megamall. For a more 'deep' post on xmas, kindly read my friendster blog. =) Sorry for all the super small pics but I really do not know why my hp is giving me such pics. (edited later: I knew it! I fianlly know how to set i at the right size.lol)

Christmas tree in the p hospital that I am working in. Doesn't it remind you of the song 'Oh, christmas tree, oh christmas tree..'

Mini christmas tree at my mum's best friend's house. See those presents underneath? They are for real. My younger sis were disappointed after dinner yesterday because they didn't receivce presents from my mum's best friend. However, this morning, she gave us a call and told us that she forgot to give us- so my younger sisters were happy once again! haha. I got a present this time round-it is s handphone holder (bumble-bee). So in the coming year I had better be able to work like a bee. =)

My contribution for the gift-exchange later (note: these few parts are edited on 25/12). My younger sisters are organising a mini xmas party later and they asked all of us to get a present for gift-exchange.






CAn you believe that given the long duration for present-shopping (2 months), and given the fact that I been going out to meet my friends,ds I have failed to get a present. It is not easy whey you have 4 younger sisters ranging from 9 years old to18 years old. I didn't want to just get any present so in the end, I failed to get one by date line=( That day I was too tired to shop with mum and sis in oneu/ This, my mum bought a ferrero rocher chocs from gurardian (becaues it was a must'buy item) and said that would be my gift for gift-exchange.





I feel bad le. Chocs, once eaten, will be gone. and I knew my 2nd and 3rd sis have bought some accesories. The youngest two have redeemed presents from their tuition teachers with the number of stars/stickers they accumlated thus far (due to their performance in tests and spellings). Since I found my once misplaced rose bracelet lately, I decided to use it for the gift-exchange though I wore it 2 or 3 times. I am NOT cheapskate coz I really love this bracelet and I am not giving out something that I do not want.

Now, all I want for Christmas is...

1. Ng May Ling. I miss her like crazy and we haven't met each other online for months. She hasn't been emailing me too; and ling if you are reading this, nope I am NOT blaming you ya. I know when we are apart and we are busy with our own studies and life, it is hard to be there for each other as much as we want to. But I know I can always count on you and thanks for the time u were there for me, through thick and thin! *huGs*

2. Confidence and perseverance to move on in sem 4. If I am kept waiting for too long; if I am made to feel that my effort has not been paid off, if what I believe in is a far cry from reality, then I really do not know where to find my lost confidence. I am not giving up but I am really afraid that one day, I will just lose it all.

3. Meeting sincere and nice people. I am getting a bit disappointed with how things are as we grow older; friends you make are no longer as sincere as friends you had back then. With the passing of time, everyone changes; and I stubbornly believe that the friends whom I cherish are all changing for the better..

4. More time to do what I enjoy- reading a good book, playing some nice songs on piano, talking to my dear friends and sis, baking, cooking (with sis at times). I hate it when uni comes and all we talk about is portfolio, pbl, reports, class tests and more class tests. =(

5. Travel to UK. My parents promised me that I will get to travel when I graduate but then that is not so practical since my friends will have graduated too. Since shin is going to nottingham next june, and that we will graduate in 2009, the ideal period to travel is december 2008 for me. May be dec 2007 I will work (this time for the $) to show my sincerity to parents. Then at least I am subsidizing a bit of my travel expenses. There is chee wei in london, sara in leeds, mun ling, xiu jing in manchester, shin and ling in nottingham, xin long in liverpool (I am so going to anfield to visit the stadium that steven gerrard plays in =P)...actually I really really want to go to Italy, followed closely by France and Spain.

Wishing u all a very merry christmas. Have a blessed new year ahead and enjoy yourself! May christmas joy brings you loads and loads of happiness but not pounds =P
