Go Genting!

I spent a wonderful albeit very tiring 3 days and 2 nights in Genting and KL with the girls earlier in the week. We left Singapore at 7am with a free upgrade from 5 Stars! Look at our bus!! Heeheehee.. it was super comfy. I couldn’t sleep a wink the night before so as usual, I slept most of the way.

Personal TV + game console! Whoopie!

We attacked the Yong Tau Foo at Yong Peng again (RM6). This time round, it didn’t meet expectations and with the swarm of flies that seemed to envelope every available space made me just want to leave that place ASAP. It was fly heaven hell. But I managed to buy my fave brand of Tau Sar Piah! And magazines at cheaper prices! Yay! So happy!

Fogging of lens due to really warm weather!

We each paid $88 for the Genting (First World Hotel) promo which includes the coach and the room (with complimentary breakfast). It’s seriously pig-shit cheap. The modest room now came with a hairdryer (no need for an RM50 deposit anymore) + more channel options + safe, alongside its infamous First World Hotel view, though this time, we had much more ventilation and our room was co-joined with Rams and Su!

You get what you paid for!

On the 1st night, we went to eat at Marybrown (again). Everything was tasty and fresh. Appetite also returned with the absence of flies paradise.

Then we went bowling (RM7/game + RM3/shoe rental, add RM1 for socks if necessary). We cheered relentless of gutter balls or strikes, oblivious to the ruckus and stares from the neighboring players. The stakes were high…! Grand prize of RM1 for the winner!! Hilarious!

After which we went to sing some Karaoke (RM15/pax for our group of 6. Package comes with 2 hrs of unlimited use + 4 bottles of mineral water). Sia was super enthusiastic with her rendition of the Wondergirls’ “Nobody” with Su later entering as backup singer/dancer. Rams and Su equally hammed it up with Britney Spears, Lady GaGa…! Super funny shit! And then Rams went hysterically comical with the Spice Girls!! OMG… wahahahaha…!! Su and I then belted Linkin Park and other rock faves ala black metal version. She laughed so hard a big wad of spit landed on the floor! Unfortunately, Liya had to return to her room due to a headache whereas we continued our MTV prowess, milking the entire 2 hours for all it was worth.

WTF?!

Later in the night, Kris + Sia + me split to watch Clash of the Titans in the freezing cinema, whereas Rams + Su + Liya chose to watch Being Human. It later spawned Rams trademark “hot hot” lingo throughout her time in Malaysia!

We woke up late on the 2nd day and rushed through getting ready for our trip down to KL. We tried the complimentary breakfast which was much better (both in atmosphere + variety in comparison to our previous trip).

Then we headed down to KL via the cable car and bus combo (RM9.30 for both). The cable car ride was tympanic membrane bursting! Wahaahahaa… Kris hugged the pole so tight as the rest screamed. We couldn’t be bothered (as usual) of the stares!

Can you spot the monkeys in the tree?

5 monkeys in the the cable car + 1 behind the lens!

KL was immensely warm!!! I almost melted beyond the cool climate of Genting! We headed down Berjaya and shopped (and shopped and shopped). They have a Krispy Kreme on the 1st floor now! Too bad I didn’t have time to eat… sobs. We gravitated towards Baskin Robbins as they were having their ‘Pink Day’ (wear pink and get 2 scoops of their delectable ice cream for the price of 1). Then we split to hunt for bargains galore!

I wanna go back again!

Then the 6 of us squeezed into a sedan taxi and headed for the Twin Towers for makan. The taxi driver ripped us of for RM25 for the short ride and incessantly tried to converse with the girls. I couldn’t be bothered to entertain him. We declined his cut-throat offer to send us back and bolted after payment. Food at the food court was reasonable and quite good. Kris + I had the Penang prawn noodles and fried kuay teow (about RM8 each). Liya + Rams had the delectable sambal sotong and stingray which looked super duper yummy! We topped it off with Rams insistence of her to-die-for crepes (whom she pronounced as krep-py).

The view from the foodcourt

The MRT is just below the Twin Towers so going to KL Sentral for the bus back to Genting was a breeze. We took only 15 min. Things are cheaper in KL compared to Genting so you are advised to save your dough for KL. We took the last bus back at 7pm.

The night cable car proved another unforgettable experience with its blinding lights amidst similar screams.

We cleaned up and everyone came over to our room for an instant noodle + steamed corn party later! After makan, Liya + Sia left to rest while Kris + Rams + Su + I played ‘heart attack’ + Uno. Wah lao.. super fun! On the 2nd night, we went to watch “Haunted Room”, a seriously disappointing Thai horror flick, but the entertainment with the Girls was more then enough to make up for it.

Instant noodle part-tey...!

Loot..!!

We slept till checkout on the 3rd day. Each of us had eyebags the size and color of large black rubbish bags! Liya continued her shopping spree at the traditional goodies shops while we settled for their roasted chestnuts at RM4/small bag.

So not feeling it

Yong Peng's chicken horfun (RM6) was surprising good!

In all, the trip was truly an unforgettable and crazy experience! I love my GIRLS :)

Bye, Bye, Bye

Last week saw us sitting for the Psycho-socio paper. Ms Wee trotted in the middle of the exam to survey the class reactions. The stress was clearly stretched across her tense features. Bet she was most interested to see how we were answering the essays. 3 freak essays with 5 subdivisions!

Ms June was far more relaxed as she whispered a lengthy conversation with another lecturer. Heng heng I wasn’t placed near them. How to concentrate with all that muffled whispers?! I would have been sure to snap!

Shuddup lah...! Heehee..

I finished my healthcare management paper today amidst cursing and swearing. Sweating through the hour long theory paper with 2 SAQs and a grand total of 4 subdivisions, I gritted my teeth as my vision scanned across the paper, trying to dissect the statements for what they’re worth.

Last paper down!! Woohoo..!! Its Genting with the girls to escape the heat tomorrow!! Yay..!! I love my girls!!!!

I’ll worry about results after I’m back. (spits)

Ms Joan was in a particularly joyous mood today. Even her step was light as she joked around and pushed my head to wish me good luck.

That’s her way of showing her love.

She’s really awesome and such a joy to be around when she doesn’t go into PMS mode. She even gathered HCM notes from classmates to use as references in case there were failures. But she said she’s keeping her fingers crossed for all to pass!

This sickening HCM is infamous for its uncanny knack of sending students sub papers! Someone please bitch-slap Chinny! She didnt even give tips! Make us die to cram info from 12 contact lectures, 3 external lectures and an E-learn. Cheebye lor.

And her lectures are soooo damn boring and such a chore to even sit through. SI and I can't stand and don't bother to attend any. Heeheehee.. Her voice is so super high pitched and irritating.

Fingernails scratching a chalkboard! Nabeh lah!

The drama of the class chalet continued after the paper as the treasurer called for an emergency meeting to finalize details and wring $5 from each student that would not be attending. Hurhur.. But since the money would be going into a fund for Ms Joan’s present, everyone coughed up the moolah.

Oh yah, did I mention that Ms Joan almost kicked my face because I wasn’t going for the chalet?! She was standing on the bench beside me and I was seated just a meter away! I could smell her toes!!!

But yah lah.. I know she loves me. She’s just super inapt at displaying it! She and her rough love. Sheesh.

I also had my appraisal done by my ward sister last week, where we spent 90 minutes just talking. Though it was awkward to carry a decent conversation with her, she stripped defenses and ranking away to chat with me like someone who is really concerned about me and my future. She cited F4 held a special place in her heart because we are the first batch that came to her after she was posted here.

How sweet.

Which supervisor helps you with basic care, takes the initiative to clear diarrhoea, walks to the canteen to buy you food and gives every single staff on shift money to buy whatever they want as as incentive to work on a PH or readily stands between staff and complaints?

Ours does.

Nonetheless, F4 wishes her hearty congratulations on her new posting to the AIC, where she’ll work hand-in-hand with Snoopy.

I’m sure Snoopy will take good care of her =)

6 months have come and gone, and what seemed to be a lengthy 8 month course in November, will soon take its final bow. After another 2 months of attachments, everyone will return to their respective hospitals.

Let’s hope that ties forged will be treasured despite the distance.
