life is not a bed of roses nowadays...

Considering having to juggle 5 kids ( 4 sitting for O-lvls tis yr )to teach personally every week, reading up materials ( self-study ) from scratch to update my knowledge on haematological concepts to understand better what's going on in the stat lab (gleneagles) I'm working in right now, as well as keeping in shape (running at least twice a week with a slot of gym), and spending valuable time with my hubby left almost n time for me to go online to update this blog...hehe..the latest thing I did to myself was to cut my hair short n went for a complete rebonding!!

My current read for this week is rather interesting.."the new Conspiracy Reader", a compilation of articles by experts of conspiracy theories spanning the world's headlines everyday...who will make u crack ur brain n open up ur mind to look at a certain topic or discussion from another perspective...ranging from terrorism issues to paranormal to science n even warfare technologies...

Missed the opportunity of a lifetime last week (read : due to work commitments) to follow my family n relatives to Batu Pahat in Malaysia to visit some relatives there and to provide some financial contributions to those in need...life back there is very simple...n peaceful...n the most beautiful part I missed is joining the gang hiking up a hill ( almost 1000m high )to enjoy bathing under a beautiful waterfall..( everyone didn't make it to the top however..lol )...but made it down down with bloody legs (sucked by leeches!!!muahaha!!!)n they enjoyed small waterholes along the way...here's one of the vids taken while they were trekking uphill Sri Medan in Batu Pahat (Johor)....

work hard, play hard!!

Despite being away from work for almost 3 days nw, I'm still working hard with my hubby to keep my body in shape n build up my stamina for the upcoming 'Shape Run' nxt month...can't wait for the real event to start, considering the great gift packs n health vouchers amounting to almost $900 that I'm gonna receive after completing the race, as well as a certificate of participation n my bib to keep for memory sake...hehe...worked so hard in the gym especially( 2 days ago), that I can still feel my muscles aching til now...my legs are still good though, no aches whatsoever...

Been trying to keep up with my readings as well as read up on haematology concepts before I go back to gleneagles tis friday...the concepts are quite tough considering there's so many ranges and figures u have to memorise, keeping in mind the stories told beyond those figures...so as to be able to explain to any doctors quering for interpretation of results later...Most importantly though, been spending LOTS of time with my loved one - my hubby!! slacking arund hard, but we reminded each other not to forget our goals n the achievements we have planned to complete by the end of each day....

almost a week off work!! yahoo...!!!

So happy since today is the beginning of my days off work- in the lab, but still giving personal tuition as per normal...days working in gleneagles is very interesting cos I'm still in the learning phase mode...more still to learn, n even borrowed a haematology txtbk from a colleague..(read: posted to haematology departmt)...discovered a laundry service there which I find cool, and a snack bar!! ( my fav spot back @ arc lab )..have to come back to arc lab (the main lab) to do late shift though...very tiring doing processing n gram reading...(as I normally take charge of serology n urinalysis section)...

Anyway, sooner or later I will be taught how to handle the blood bank deptmt ( the most stressful n nerve-racking section!! )...swell...when the going gets tough, the tough must get going...

Went to chill out with my friends yesterday after half-day work n slacking with my hubby @ the library..(my colleagues back @ arc..) til quite late as they said they missed me as they won't be seeing my face going back to the main lab until 2 weeks later...went for dinner @ 'Secret Recipe'- the food is 2/5, n the service is quite unbearable considering the waiter dropped my fren's orange juice into her lap, n very slow service....

went by foot to bugis after dinner, just to take pictures in neoprint!! we had a swell of a great time...followed by hugs of friendship at the end of the day....going out with my family for lunch later @ 'Eatzi Steakhouse' before teaching tuition, n go running with my hubby, n continue with another session of tuition at nite....life is so hectic..
