42 days to - It's midnight. Now it's 12:02. I took two minutes to type "It's midnight". I typed it again but it's not 12:04. It's only 12:03. Which means i'm typing faster, which means my fingers are already warmed up. Great. Now i may begin my long post. 12:04 Hi i've completed my six weeks of pre-registration consolidation placement. Last attachment ever. Student days no more. "Once you've put on the green uniform arh.." Sorry to burst your bubble, ma'am, but your threat's expired. Firstly, the green will be replaced in favour of an offbeat off-white. Secondly, i'll be donning the scrubs. Say hello to the theatre nurse. "Hello!" Layan sendiri. That's it. I have to let go of my tai tai dreams. Moonie and i will have to be at least 80 and shrivelled (we don't endorse Botox nor Susuks) before we could be sitting out on our posh porch sipping English tea and nibbling ginger biscuits (via naso-gastric tubes and dentures). Back to reality; we have to work to earn enough to buy Lipton teabags enough to last us til we're 80 and dreaming. 6th May 2007 (Sunday) I woke up early at my own will. I know! Go buy 4D now! I woke up early the last two days too but that's because Ihin was running a high temperature and causing us all to worry, Mom especially and she in turn spread her worrybug to us all. Ihin being the baby after all. So what's the occasion? A trip to the wet market. I was plain excited; i haven't seen dead animals since i became a nurse. We bought a trolley, to complete the whole makcik/maid-to-the-market getup. I felt so domesticated. We bought a whole vegetable farm, plus a few animals. Made my day, this bonding session with the sister and.. animals. I cooked squids in black. I think they're exciting creatures, having studied their anatomy. Tomorrow i'm baking plain brownies. I greeted my mom this morning with a hug and mumbled a "Happymothersday" but like i really don't know exactly when that is. I'm sure she doesn't either, 'cause she mumbled a "Thanks sayang" back, albeit a little unsure. But i appreciate her and she knows it, so who's checking the calendar? I made a card for her, 'cept i have 98% more to go. fara // 23:57 |
