A Review of Resolutions For 2009

Quoted from my 31 Dec 2008 post...
"Now for what I wish for 2009:
a) to having a fulfilling marriage filled with more romantic moments with my husband.
b) to be able to make it on the red carpet for my customary wedding ceremony on 10 May, among all my close friends and our family members.
c) to be able to have a good working relationship with all my colleagues.
d) to be selected for Advanced Diploma In Oncology Nursing course which starts in October.
Let's see on 31 Dec 2009, how many of the above wishes have I been able to achieve or fulfill..."

Looks like I have fulfilled my resolutions for 2009... Another few more days to 31 Dec 2009 and I am still thinking of my aims and resolution for 2010...

School Holidays In 2 weeks...

I would be on school holidays starting from 25th Dec to 3rd Jan... Shiok right? Like real...
I gotta finish up 4 assignments within that week, so how nice can be? I would need at least 1 day per assignment. Exclude Christmas, New Year, Post Christmas and Post New Year, I think the rest of the days would be for research finding and typing of assignments...
Argh...
1) Literature Critique for Reseach Assignment (2000 words)
2) Advanced Practices in Nursing (500 words)
3) Site Specific Haemotological and Paediatric Oncolgy Nursing (1500 words)
4) Principles and Practices of Oncology Nursing (1500 words)
I heard I only gotten 60% for my Biology MCQ, now waiting for the final results together with my SAQs. Praying for at least 'B' grade. I am not in studying so, a 'B' is like distintion for me already...
Next Biology exam is in 7 weeks time and that is the final exam!

Haiz, how to fully enjoy the holiday?! I promise myself no more formal studies after this Advance Diploma (provided I pass and get this certification)... No more degree dreams... This is it!

A Visit To My Granny's

Went to visit my grandmother after my half day attachment at NUH and the first thing she asked me directly, 'why no baby?'. I explained that I was studying now and Jeff + Me don't have plans to have kids so soon as we want to wait for our house to be ready and we also want to settle into the new place stable enough before having kids.

Next came my 2nd auntie (the most ba-gua one) and asked me if I had any good news of pregnancy? I had to re-explain myself again...

Just last Friday, my mother in law asked me to get pregnant after my studies and I also explained her son's and mine stand of getting a house first and blah blah blah...

Few weeks ago, my cousin asked me the thoughts of reproducing a kid just because I say her 2 daughters look alike despite being at different age. So here I go again with my explaining again...

I hate explaining! I feel like so inferior explaining myself, 'cause the truth is that Jeff doesn't want to give me a chance to reproduce a kid for him! The truth is that I don't really like kids! The truth is that I don't feel I would be a good mother, neither would Jeff be a good father. The truth is I have no patience to teach as well as nurture a kid without 'abusing' the kid verbally or physically with hitting him/her.
I have been strictly disciplined by my parents using cane, belt and even clothes hanger and I know the pain of being whacked. I told myself I would never let my own child go through the same pain I did as a child to teenager. However, I also know my own temper and I know when I lose my temper, I would act recklessly and may end up hitting or whacking the kid. So I decided not to have a kid to prevent such cases. Moreover, I hate it when kids cry + brawl or when baby wails, so to save myself from such irritation, no kids would be the best.

I know babies and kids can be cute and brighten up one's day but once they start crying, brawling, wailing and become pesky, that totally turns me off...

Must every marriage end up with kids? Does it mean that a childless marriage would equate a failed marriage or an incomplete family? This is like the 21st Century era! Does anyone know how expensive rearing a kid can be in these modern days? Does anyone think how stressful it can be for a child to excel among his/her peers nowadays? Can someone change that mindset of compulsory for kid post-marriage couples?

I am not sure how many times I got to explain myself until relatives, parents and parents in law stop asking me about having a kid, getting pregnant and stuff! I also don't wish bursting with anger,sounding rude and embarrassing myself...

All these explanation is making me want to be more anti social and avoid any form of family gatherings to avoid this 'sensitive' topic... So if one day I become labelled 'anti-social', don't be surprised...

Mad, Drunk Driver

- BIOLOGY EXAMS...
- Was nearly knocked down by this crazy, wreckless and drunk guy... In the end, he suffered head injuries and I had to give him first aid! He was like speeding at more than 100km/hr and cutting into lanes like some insane freak. He hit the curb I was stand near to and swerved onto the LRT concrete pillar. Look at the amount of blood lost and oil that was coming out from the front bonnet. Did I mention that he was having 5 empty bottles of Jim Beam and one bottle of half drunk Jim Beam?! Mad fellow! Speeding like that at 1015hrs and somemore driving under the influence of alcohol!!!!

The Disappearance Of The PRC again

I really feel like I am living in a drama serial movie... The family life over my in laws' never fails to wow me or to amaze me.

This time, it is the PRC woman again and yes, it has to be her again. No one else in the family can be so drastically drama as she is. If I had the chance, I would like to nominate her for the best drama mama!

She has rented her own room out there for SGD 600 and has move out again. However, my brother in law has allowed to move out on her own and he is still staying with my in laws. Weird! Married husband and wife, yet they don't stay together. Something that I can never accept!
According to my mum in law, the PRC cited the reason for her moving out was because my brother in law fail to keep his promise to her. (My brother in law had promised that once they can married, they can have a house on their own and they would move out of my in laws' place.) However, due to over-demand of housing, they had hard luck in finding a flat where they can move in immediately as per requested by the PRC woman. That PRC woman has also told my brother in law to fork out all the money required for any 3-room flat as she has no cash to spare. Thus, she has decided to move out to stay in a rented room alone without my brother in law until they can find a flat to call their own! Mad woman!
I am also not surprised that my brother in law has refused to move into the rented room with her. This is just his character and moreover, he is not one who would want to move into a worst situation than his current situation now. I mean, over at my in laws, food are provided FOC, his dishes are washed after he eats by my mother in law, his clothes are washed and ironed by my mother in law and he doesn't need to worry about household bills as well as worry about cleanliness of the place, 'cause my mum in law would settle all for him FOC! If he moves with the PRC into the rented room, he would also have to probably fork out half of the rental fees, clean up the room himself, settle his own dinner, clean up his own dishes, do the washing and ironing clothes himself as his wife works from like 9am and would only be home around 10+pm...
Thus, I guess no way would he want to give up all these luxuries and sacrifice for his wife. They are one weird couple to start with. From the day my brother in law brought this PRC into this family, I already feel his eyes has been blinded, in fact very much blinded and smitten by this PRC. Moreover, both of them are quite stubborn in there own ways and I really wonder how this marriage would work. She also from the start of the courtship can't seem to get along with my in laws and us. So perhaps, it is also better she doesn't stay with us, But since they enjoy staying apart despite being married, let them be. Anyway, it is also good for me, at least I can heck care about her feelings when I do my stuff freely now. I can also interact with my mother in law more freely without worrying if she would feel left-out.

Back to studying for my biology exams this Friday after much ranting and kpo-ing... LOLx...

1st Exams After 7 Weeks In School

Argh... biology... studying & mugging starts...

However, had a fun time with Vanessa in NYP last evening. We watched the 'Les Voix 09' concert at NYP TFA. Had a bunch a immature teens who doesn't seem to know how to behave themselves and they simply doesn't seem to understand what encore performance is and when to shout encore. The poor conductor had to politely tell them to stop shouting for encore... Quite funny! But if I was the one of those kids shouting encore, I would be so embarrased to be told to stop shouting and indirectly told that encore performance is over...

Hehe! Back to studying again...
