the love and the pain

Wednesday 10-12-2008 11.25pm

It's been more than a year since I got to know you.......fr seeing u at the MRT Station during the salsa trial class to becoming classmate and dancing with you.......all these have left a lasting memory in me.......fr a strangers to a person who I love and will think about everyday......I will never forget the memories we shared in class......our passion for salsa dancing......the comforting words you will say to me each time I get nervous about a certain dance step.......yr presence certainly makes dancing more enjoyable...........then u got posted overseas........and that was when our contacts got lesser and lesser.........or isit what I have said to u? But I was jus trying to get my feelings known to u......maybe I shouldn't have.....maybe I should jus keep it to myself.....could that have been better?I LOVE you and I REALLY do.......is that wrong? Now I am trying to live with this pain........this pain that's gonna stay in my heart no matter what I am going to do or say.....nothing is gonna change the situation I guess......this is the pain that one can feel truly when one has true deep feelings for the other party..........love hurts...........I learn to let go but each time I always failed......jus when I think I am starting to feel numb the feeling will come back stronger than what I expected........is this what I am going to live with for the rest of my life......I need someone to come save me out of this situation......but who can.........maybe someone who my love for him will be stronger than what I have towards you.......but where is this him............I am tired...........very tired and confused each time I think abt this.......they say time will heal all wounds but what abt the scars..............

vocal cord nodules

Thursday 23-10-2008 8.25pm

I went to a ENT specialist @ Mount Elizabeth Hospital last Sat. My ENT specialist who is an expert in voice disorder, diagnosed me with vocal cord nodules.

What are vocal cord nodules?
Vocal cord nodules are callous-like bumps on the vocal cords. They can form on one or both of the cords. They usually are located on the front 1/3 of the vocal cord, and range in size from a pinhead to a split pea. During normal speech, the vocal cords should press firmly together. However, if nodules are present the cords cannot close completely. Therefore, extra air escapes and the voice sounds hoarse and breathy as a result.

What causes vocal cord nodules?
Any one or more of the following can contribute to the development of vocal cord nodules:
1) Misuse of the voice
The use of an incorrect pitch, volume, or quality
Inadequate breath support
Excessive tension in the neck muscles when speaking
2) Abuse of the voice
Excessive shouting, screaming cheering or crying
Strained vocalizations (for example, sounds used to imitate animal noises or motors)
Excessive loud talking
Hard vocal attacks (starting words abruptly)
Excessive coughing or throat clearing
3) Other factors
Chronic (long standing) upper respiratory infections or allergies
Exposure to smoking
Reflux (stomach acid coming up the swallowing tube)
Endocrine or Hormonal imbalance
Fatigue
Allergies
Personality or general adjustment of the person

How do vocal cord nodules develop?
Vocal abuse and misuse cause the vocal cords to close with excessive force (i.e. bang together). This may result in the formation of vocal nodules at the point of maximum contact. As the nodules begin to form, a slight reddening can be noted on the margin of the cord. This reddening is soon followed by a localized swelling or thickening on the edge of the cord. Finally, a definite nodule or bump develops and becomes harder and more fibrotic with time, just like a callous can form on your hand if you use a shovel without gloves.

Thus I had to go for voice therapy during the sch holidays. I hope that will help and I really wish that my voice will be back to it's original form soon but at the rate that the children behave.....haiz....I think my voice will only get worst........trying not to shout in class but YES!!!! it is very difficult........kids are really naughty rascals...............and they DO NOT LISTEN!!! Occupational Hazard.............it really is as according to the doctor is a common problem in teachers.........haiz.......this is what I get in return for my passion...............What can I do..............the doctor says for this problem to heal, other than the therapy class, a lot depends on the patient themselves.

Oh yes, my DPT course is starting soon.....looking forward to it but at the same time a bit worried about coping with work and course.........just can only say I will do my best and take one step at a time.

busy....

Saturday 27-9-2008 6.44pm

It's been coming two months since I started my new job at the Kindergarten. I love the new job and is slowly getting used to it but I really have a lot of things to learn on the job. Colleagues are great, very helpful and kind. Will be starting my Diploma course in November, very excited as this is going to be a big milestone in my life but at the same time I am afraid that I can't cope. I keep telling myself not to think too much and just do my very best. With all the support I believe I can do it =) I know my parents are going to be there for me no matter what and it is their wish to see me get a Diploma so I am going to try doubly hard. I will push on no matter what.

Oh Yes!!! so excited that F1 is in town.......but I can only catch the race from the TV......cos tickets are too expensive. The sound is enough to sent me screaming so excitedly.......haha....... Hooray to Singapore for hosting the first F1 nite race!

me dyscalculia?

Tuesday 22-7-2008 4.30pm

Dyscalculia - difficulty in learning or comprehending mathematics.

I suspect I am dyscalculia...........cos I can never understand Maths..........well but I don't have any thing to prove that I suffer from dyscalculia...........calculations always stress me out and I have been failing my Maths since Pri 4..........but whatever it is I jus got to be positive.

confused state of mind

Monday 26-5-2008 9.46pm

Have been very busy and tired ever since I started out on my new job as a Birthday Party Host.......it's been a week since I started this new job but I am still very confused as to whether this is the rite job for me......hectic man...... trying to be a birthday party host........lol.....but I enjoy being at the receptionist. Learning how to operate the cashier, welcoming the customer and doing fun patrols......

Thought of going into sales line........having been giving a good thought on what the person said to me when I went for interview that time......I should give it a try since I am still young. Since this has been what I wanted.......jus give it my best shot and a good try....at least I will not have any regret in life...........even if things don't turn out well....... at least I can say I have tried my best and not keep thinking.......of all the what ifs.........

Maybe a month........after which I will see how things goes............can't help but feel stress.........cos I dream again last nite that I went back to my old workplace to work again......which is not what I wanted.....twice already....the same dream...........isit I think too much or isit I am too stress.........whatever........I should learn to take things easy and take one step at a time............

Friday, 9 May 2008

What should my next step be?

Friday 9-5-2008 9.27pm

I am so stressed..........but luckily I had a great destressing session @ St James (Dragonfly) last nite. Think partying, clubbing, drinking and drinking. Lol.....no a lot but a bit of whisky coke =)

Anyway I am kinda of confused =( cos I do not know if I should continue to try to find a job or I should go upgrade myself and further study.....maybe a diploma would be good. Let me do some planning first before I take my next step. Wish me good luck k ;)

Salsa intermediate 2A will be starting tomorrow but I still can't make up my mind whether to take up this course or not............Arrrrggggg so much things on my mind at the moment........

What's life without love, passion and dreams...

Saturday 12-4-2008 10.27pm

I should cling on to my passion and dreams no matter what obstacles come my ways...........

Time flies, it's been coming one and a half months since i last quit my job. I have yet to find a new job but I am sure I gonna find one good one soon =) still waiting for zoo to reply though...1 more week....I really hate to study and people around me having been asking me the same question, 'have you though of furthering yr studies'? but Singapore society is so s*** why must people be judge upon their qualifications ? so what if you have high qualifications but yr character sucks....haiz.....but yesterday I started thinking if I really have to take up a diploma course or degree course, what would it be? The answer would be Zoology. Cos this will always be my passion as I have always wanted to work in the zoo =) I love animals and I love the zoo!!!! If I really can't work in the zoo then I will volunteer as a zookeeper.

Daddy says if i want to study then i should be realisetic and go for somthing that can get me a good job......haiz so zoology seems out of the picture, worst still........zoology courses is not available in Singapore.........in the mean time let's hope that the zoo will really reply soon...

lunch with Grandpa

Tuesday 18-3-2008 3.55pm

I jus came back home after acompanying my Grandpa to the chinese doctor. After that we had lunch at the hawker centre before heading back home. I love the lunch part cos it's been a long time since I last had a meal alone with my Grandpa. It brings me down my memory lane when I was young, Grandpa would always bring us to the coffeeshop for tea and then he would buy me and my brother toys........those were the days. These are the memories I will always keep in my heart =)

Sent my resume to the Zoo yesterday........I gonna pray hard that I am selected to go for the interview cos I really like this job, and I hope to work in the zoo. It's so boring to slack at home. Luckily I bought lots of books from Page One, Times and Kinokuniya to read at home.......haha I have become a bookworm..........lol..........wish me luck k.........really wish the zoo will give me a reply soon.

Thailand Trip 050308------070308

Saturday 08-03-2008 9.12pm

Jus came back from Thailand (Bangkok) yesterday =) wonderful experience.....although I find the trip too short :P The weather 's very hot there and I love shopping. Their shopping mall (central world) is nice and big but too bad the things there are kinda of expensive. Things at the night market are cheap as bargaining is allowed. I saw something at the night market that left a deep impression on me.......a cute baby elephant who goes round with it's master (who holds packet of food on his hands so that tourist can buy and feed this cute elephant) at the night market. This little elephant is sooo obedient when it's master make it stand by the roadside to wait for tourist, it does not move about but quitly stand there and wait. I look at this baby elephant and I can really feel for it.......it belongs to the wild not the city........poor thing why must they do that to the poor elephant (make it adapt to urban life).......how I wish I can save this baby elephant and send it back to where it belongs.....the wild. We took the tuk-tuk in Thailand and I would say, it's an amazing transportation........fast and special. Overall, it's a nice trip and I hope to retuirn there again in the near future =)

I hate tis kind of feeling........

Sunday 24-2-2008 4.26pm

I hate this kind of feeling. are you avoiding me or are you really busy? Tears are flowing non-stop in my heart, and the pain is unbearable. Why do you have to make me feel this way. I love you yet hate you at the same time.....why do I have to suffer this kind of mental torture? I hate myself, why can't I understand you. My love for you is true......really but............I kept questioning myself.....is this all... a one sided affair on my part or are you avoiding the true? I do not have the answers to all this questions either do i think you will answer them. Sometimes I jus can't find the strength to move on cos love really hurts and I am soo scared. So many people are telling me to give up and move on..... but I can't....some say wait till he is back but I jus can't wait.......call me impatient or call me stupid..... but the goody me who do not know how to drink really wants to have a drinking session with my friends soon cos I jus wanna get drunk and not think anymore.......I know it's stupid of me and my cousin scolded me.........she says that it's not worth to do this over a guy.......what for....even if i am drunk, he is not there to see......neither does he knows.........but I jus do not know what to do........

Thursday, 24 January 2008

I tendered my resignation........

Thursday 24-1-2008 11.32pm.

I will hand in the letter tomorrow. I didn't know it needs such a great deal of courage. After more than 5 years in the company, (to be accurate it's actually it's 5 years and 10 months ) there a bond there. Just like a relationship. You will feel sad when it's time to let go but it really is time........to go out to see the world and pursue other interests and dreams........if not for the support that my family and friends have given me I would not have been able to do that. Jus wanna let them know that I really appreciate all their support that they have given me. Thank You =)

I am just so afraid that I might hug Rinny and Erica, my two baobei and cry on the last day of work......I know that I really will miss them very very much. I must be strong. I must believe in myself.

Monday, 21 January 2008

It's Monday again.....start of a long week....gonna work this Saturday.........so I can't party till late this coming Friday.......so sad :( but I am looking forward to the Shopping trip this Saturday with my best best friend =)

Rebonded my hair on Saturday.........took the whole afternoon but it was worth the wait cos I really love my hair to be neat and pretty although it cost a bomb $178 plus the bottle of hair conditioner. I really can't wait for Chinese New Year to come. Oh Yes, I saw a nice pink Cheongsam @ This Fashion......think I will get it to wear for Chinese New Year.

Talk to my Boss today about quitting my job.....aiya.....very confused.......will talk to her again tomorrow.

new hairstyle plus shopping and more shopping...

Monday 14-1-2008 10.17pm

I went to the hair salon to cut my hair on Saturday. New hairstyle =) but I missed my long long hair...As my hair is about shoulder length now with lots of layer, I loose all my rebonded locks...thus I actually thought of rebonding my hair again, maybe this coming Saturday...before Chinese New Year so that I can have my long beautiful tresses again for this coming festival...

Went shopping after my salsa class to get my sis's pink skirt from Mango (went 3 different outlet before I finally got it from the Ngee Ann City outlet) and my beautiful short dress from Blossom @ Far East Plaza. Sunday nite was spent shopping @ Far East Plaza again with my best best friend, got a black dress and a black spaghetti top. Can't wait for the next shopping trip to come again :P

It's a brand new year.....

Tuesday 1-1-2008 5.27pm

It's the start of a brand New Year. Hooray 2008!!! So many things to look forward to.

I miss him soooo much. Didnt see him online recently......especially during Christmas that time.....everywhere I turn, I see air force advertisment. Makes me miss him even more.........but i must learn to control my emotions.

Went Clarke Quay yesterday with a few friends.......have the urge to drink but I control myself. Took cranberry juice instead. The place was sooo happening, crowded and alive. Haha........

Let's welcome 2008 and have a wonderful new year =)
