Well, guess what, there are a string of birthdays this week. Starting with FCS on friday, Saturday is a farewell lunch for Aow and Sunday is riyang's. I don't think i can attend all though. There are so many things that need to be done. I tell you, the birthday crisis is only going to get worse and worse. Aiyoh, i have no money left to do anything after last saturday's fiasco at Jaan. So poor now, hopefully Garibaldi's will be better. I also better start visiting my relatives. I haven't seen them for the past few weeks already. Also need to settle down and do some work soon. Cos next week is going to be real bad with so many departures that i don't think i shall go for any of them at all since it is ridiculous to send everybody off.

I can't help but portion out my spending this month. I think it might get a bit ridiculous so i shall portion it out to defray costs. I think i need a new sandals, thus i am going to get a pair of Birkenstocks. Also, i need a few new other things so i am going to spend wisely in order to really buy things that i really like and really need.

Also, I want to add that Teacher's Day has just passed. It is so amusing really to think back and ponder about the times that teachers were so important to all of us. Spoonfeeding they might be but nevertheless they were the most crucial. I wanted to be a teacher at a point in my life, but sadly something changed the way that i saw things and made a mental career switch. But nevertheless, all teachers deserve a salute for they mold the leaders of the future. I believe that everybody has a teacher in his or her heart that has shone the way and made them believe they could be and these teachers deserve mention. I would like to thank Mrs. May Tan, Mrs Grace Wong, Mrs Alice Siew from SMS and from RI, Mr Ismail Talib, Mrs Cheryl Yap, Mrs Yau Pooi Har, Mdm Saleha, Mrs Tan Mui Hong, Mr Tan Puay Hock, Mr Edward Yeong. Special mention goes out to Mr. Tan Puay Hock and Mr Edward Yeong, they never ceased to believe in me and instill a sense of inspiration and awe especially Mr. Edward Yeong, Mr Tan Puay Hock and Mrs Cheryl Yap. They gave me fitness, chinese prowess and an eternal love for geography. From RJ, there was Mrs Chan my GP tutor, Mdm Huang my chinese tutor and Mr Chan Ter Yue my biology tutor. They were the shining lights in my horrible JC life. And oh yes before i forget, Miss Poon is worth mentioning. She is like Mr Edward Yeong, somebody whom i respect.

But in RJ, i know so many other teachers like Carlyn lee, KS Chan, Lee Soon Bee Dayna Chia, Helen Tan etc. I guess in RJ i really lived a life that was i would say fairy tale. Ah well, anyway now in medicine there isn't really many teachers. So many people teach you it is hard to decide who is your tutor but one really good tutor that i believe will last me for the rest of my days is Prof Raj. He was somebody who made a significant impact on my life in Medicine and I believe for many years to come.

Now I am sitting in the AH Medical Officer room typing this as my patient is schizo and screaming his head off outside. Just thinking but, there were also many people, lots of friends who taught me about life and how to live it well and good. Some have moved on, Some are currently going away, Some are no longer in touch, Some no longer live. Thanks for all the teachings but i guess the spoilt me will never be able to inculcate all of them. Hearing a lot of things today saddens me a bit, because it doesn't matter what has happened but it matters that some people just make me real sad, real sad. I don't want to talk about it anymore. I don't find it funny and i don't find it reasonable but well, it doesn't matter. What has been done has been done and maybe the day will come when i will finally break my silence but until then...
