1)YAY! it's september! :D september rocks. this is the month i'm gonna uproot and start a brand new life. this is the month i turn 19.
2)i'm officially under ministry of health now! :D i signed my terms of agreement yesterday. :) however, should i ever break my bond, my sureties would have to pay an estimated sum of $430000. -WOAH- i thought that it's only about $300000. nonono. i don't think i will ever break my bond. my field is so small, where else may i go? anyway, praise the Lord!! WOOHOO!
3)my visa application f.i.n.a.l.l.y received approval. :) at least it was only my second attempt. candy went four times. tsk, the visa people are really anal, aren't they? and no, anal is not a vulgarity (zhipeng thinks that it is.)
4)i haven't received any accommodation letter. HOOO. i'm going to be homeless.
i can't apply for my bank account because i don't have my passport. HOOO. i'm going to be penniless.
5)i webcammed with jingz for the first time in my entire life that day! :D sounds so weird to hear her and see her. she showed me her room. haha. so weird. so funny.
she was like "ok, i'm calling you through skype now."
i said,"yar ok."
i could hear something ringing. i was wondering why the thing took so long to load.
30 seconds of silence.
jingz: oi, answer the phone larh.
me: oh is it? you never tell me how am i supposed to know i have to answer the phone?
yafen the techno dino. haha. anyway she's the only person on my skype list. i'm too paiseh to add other people. haha. and we can't figure out why we don't have images on skype. aiyoooo.
i miss jing shan. i got no more friends. haha.
6)driving test tomorrrow! -dang-
7)i went back to DSA for the last time yesterday (because they are having september holidays next week too) oh ho. i don't think i'll ever see them again. mr raj left. siti left. zaharah left. jude left. karen is leaving. none of the staff are remaining, i don't even know how the programme is going to continue. but, anyway, i received plenty of bear hugs from everyone yesterday! :) oh, such pure and unconditional love. johnson came up to me and pompously shook my hand. mingfei is still as funny as ever. haha. more about them next time!
8)met up with good ol' joseph on monday. he was awed and facinated by bugis street. tsk. he made me eat so much again. haha. as good ol' joseph spoke about his life, my life, his views on christianity, our spiritual journey, a sense of nostalgia plagued me. haha. i have forgotten how wise good ol' joseph is. :) yay. good ol' joseph. :)
9) my xibaos gave me a cd containing the beautiful slideshow that they did. WOO! haha. it's perfect. thank you so much! i watched it (again) with my sister and my mum. my mum had many many comments as usual
