Daddy’s Girl

May 28, 2009

My Dad was a very sentimental man. He named me CINDY… and he chose that name because of this song:

I joined the Navy to see the world
But nowhere could I find
A girl as sweet as Cindy
The girl I left behind
I’ve sailed the wide world over
Can’t get her out of my mind
Cindy, [...]

In the mood for love…

Let there be you,
Let there be me,
Let there be oysters,
Under the sea.

Let there be wind,
An occasional rain,
Chilli con carne,
Sparkling champagne.

Let there be birds,
To sing in the trees,
Someone to bless me,
Whenever I sneeze.

Let there be cuckoos,
A lark and a dove,
But first of all, please,
Let there be love.

Let there be cuckoos,
A lark and a dove,
But first [...]

If you ask me, I’ve always looked like a stick insect. Good or poor appetite.

Me : What’s his name?
SN : He’s a 50-year-old Chinese gentleman…
Me : What’s his name??
SN : … diagnosed with Bipolar Mood Disorder…
Me : What is his [...]

Go and grow watermelons!

May 22, 2009

I’m doing way too many calls these 2 weeks that I think I’m going crazy before my patients do. Plus, I’m still recovering from over-partying last weekend.
These don’t help a bit…

A few casualty doctors who are probably confused about their role in the emergency department… they don’t clerk the patients properly or sincerely, they simply [...]

Tuning back to reality

May 22, 2009

A lot had happened in the past week.
One of my besties got married. Great! Another one off the creaking shelf. Hehe!! Oh yes, and we all get to see Jas and Andy
It was a BEAUTIFUL wedding. Believe me although I don’t have pictures to prove… not that I’m lying but because the pictures [...]

Mom

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers!!
Mom had to take a bus to JB just to celebrate this weekend with us – coz I was on call and couldn’t make it home.
It was a lovely weekend I’d say. I didn’t buy her flowers or cards. In fact, I brought her to the mall and she bought [...]
