LH asked me why I keep putting songs on my blog. And she say she dont like. OKAY! So I’ll blog about my exciting Monday. but before that, if u want to know why i keep putting songs on my blog- i used to think that i express myself better in blogging than speaking. but nowadays i feel that i cant express myself in blogging like i used to be in the past. maybe i've advanced to a higher level of antisocial-ness. or maybe it's just tt i dont feel as comfortable telling people what i feel. so to keep the blog alive, i posted songs that i like, particularly the lyrics.

28/09/09:

1030hrs: @ home. woke up and realized I missed the time that I was supposed to wake up (which is 1000hrs) even though I set 2 alarms. My hp displayed 3 missed calls and 2 smses. Replied the calls.

1230hrs: @ bedok printing my IRB application. After meddling with the shop’s laptop, I realized the shop’s laptop couldn’t read my thumb drive. Called LH for help. Heard her “just woke up” voice.

1330hrs: @ LH’s hse. Printed my stuff.

1400hrs: Cabbed to KKH. cab fare $8.40. i asked the cab driver to drop me at the taxi stand but he asked me whether i want to drop at the women's 24 hrs clinic (which is also KKH's A & E). was thinking is it because he thought i wanted to see a Dr (maybe i looked too tired) or he thought i wanted to visit a patient in the A & E (maybe i looked too gan jiong).

1405hrs: @ delivery suite. Met my site PI (principal investigator) to get her CITI and signature. Told her about the changes made to the application form.

1420hrs: @ KKH research centre. Clarified all the doubts with the staff. I even asked if I could photocopy 10 copies of the form (which is required for IRB submission) in their office. Had to be super thick skinned when I asked the staff. but I was rejected. :(

1440hrs: @ KKH division of nursing. Met with the ADON (assistant director of Nursing) and told her my research study outline before I can get her to sign and approve my research. Anyway, I was told that the money that I spent on this research (printing the questionnaires) will not be reimbursed because it’s not stated in the contract that i signed 2 yrs ago. But I was told that I would need to present the results of my research after completing it next year. Not reimbursing me and yet want me to present my results.

1500hrs: bused to little india mrt station. Could have walked but no time to lose as i made an appointment with the very busy associate supervisor Prof DC at 1545hrs.

1530hrs: reached harbourfront. realised i was going to be late for the appointment. Cabbed to E3A. the cab driver wanted to take AYE but i told him to take the bus 188 route, as i thought that it would be faster. i really should have listened to him. cab fare $8.20.

1550hrs: Reached E3A. Prof DC still meeting SH. Waited while i ate my chocolate bun (that was the first meal of the day, excluding the coffee in the morning. Luckily I had a 胃下垂 buffet dinner last night!)

1600hrs: my turn to meet Prof DC. She made changes to 2 sections of the application form on the spot. And said "Good luck. I think it'll be fine."

1645hrs: stayed @ ALCNS to make the changes to the application form. and had to be thick skin again. Asked whether i could print my form in the office. Not rejected!:)

1735hrs: bused to Clementi MRT station.

1755hrs: @ Clementi MRT station.

1845hrs: @ pasir ris MRT station. bought a bottle of drink fom 7-11 because the favourite OCK has too many fellow supporters.

1910hrs: reached tutee's hse 10 mins late.

the timings are mostly accurate. because it was so rush for me that i kept checking the time every 5 minutes.

anyway, i realised i have not been jogging for nearly 2 months! i need to resume my healthy lifestyle if not im going to collapse in the 10km this December! i put myself on DNR a few days ago. but i'm changing my mind now please resuscitate me if i collapse in front of you. i dont want my poor sister (who is my guarantor) to be in debt.
