Our uni organized another trip to the National Kidney Foundation centre today. The week b4 cny, grp A members had went. So, today it was our turn. We listened to an intro by Dr. Shanker, one of the committee member of the NKF and he gave us a general intro about NKF. We also went to visit the dialysis patients. However, there's only about 10 dialysis machines. The centre will soon be moved to a bigger area to accommodate the increasing number of patients. We were only allowed about 5 min in the dialysis room in small groups of 5 as renal failure patients are immuno compromise. We were also given a booklet and a small cute kidney shape collarpin as souvenir dat grp A did not received last week..haha.. All in all, I added anode experience to my life today.

It's been a week into Chinese New Year. It's the eight day already. It's the Hokkien cny tomorrow. Fireworks had been going on all nite. Class will oso be starting tomorrow. Time really pass so quickly.

Chinese New Year is never complete without the must-have reunion dinner, lots of cny cookies, good food, bbq pork (bah gua), mandarin oranges, lou yee shang, new clothes, visiting frenz n relatives, playing card games, mah jong, cny songs, fireworks (i'm watching fireworks now as i'm typing), lion dances and of course red packets (ang paus)!hehe..

Here are some pics to show what i had been doing for the past one week. As usual, went SP, Penang (not the island..jam 3,4 hours to the island..better not go) and Kulim to visit some relatives. Other than that, basically i have been eating a lot getting myself more prosperous looking (all the cookies, bah gua, yee shang mud pies, fish, prawns, chicken and countless ode food), visiting relatives, frenz, teachers, played card games, mahjong and of course red packets (ang paus)!

Happy Valentine's Day to all lovey dovey couple n all pretty, happy single's..

As for me, tonight there's no fancy dinner, dress up or going out with a debonair and tall hunk..Instead my date for this valentine is absolutely one of the most brain taxing, need big memory storage and exist in micro alphabets. It is just me, myself and my moral notes! Sounds pathetic? haha...well can't help it since i had my moral mid term exam 2moro..

Dont belittle dis notes..the philosophies takes time to be digested and i have to finish all in one night..

But nonetheless i got some pretty flowers and chocolates from my frenz to acc me thru dis Valentine...

This cute lil doggy and chocolates is from our very sweet 'pet'..hehe..OJ is sweet enuf to treat everyone chocolates

Call me biased, but i like pink flowers better..haha

Pink and red roses thanks to AJ

Well, actually to all busy couples, it's ok if u can't go out on valentine day..As long as u all are sweet and loving and chummy throughout the year, everyday is Valentine's day =)

I went wif Kuria, Kat, EY, the two JW's, BS, BT and KK to YMCA to help out at the Valentine Tea Party organized by them for the less privileged kids. We had a whole afternoon of fun and games. I hope the kids really enjoyed themselves and had a good time just as I had seeing the happy faces of the kids. All the kids are really cute. :)

This whole weekend i had been doing one of the stuff i really enjoy..... SHOPPING!!

Actually thought of adding more clothes for the cny, but end up buyin more formal wears instead. I tink nowadays, i kinda hv this obsession to shop for formal clothes (for classes) more than those casual wear..perhaps it is because of the need to wear formal clothes every single day..5 days a week at least.

I went with MS, Kat and Liyana to Espirit yesterday. And these are wat i got from there :

A sort of formal top, pants and belt

And that's not all. More shopping steals from Mid Val today. :)

Bodyglove also gives away red packets

After finding for a long time...I finally bought this pair of boot

I love this bag too

Along with my Puma bag, actually came a tag dat says 'suitable for' :

i) standing at a bus stop
ii) a fun night out
iii) serious sporting use
iv) meetin an ex for tea
v) some light gardening
vi) whatever

I just tot the last bit of 'some light gardening' hilarious..haha..

I really enjoyed shopping and am very happy to add all those to my collection but....

there is quite a deep hole in my pocket now!!! haha...i cant believe i spent so much in just 2days..hicks! Gotta start saving money again for more shopping trips next time :p

Dr. Aishah said dis in lecture the other day :

" Human are vertical pigs "

and.......

" Pigs are horizontal human "

Therefore, human = pigs ? hahaha...maybe dats why sometimes some people behaves like pigs. No offence, I do find pigs adorable. =p

So..the next time u r called a pig, take console..:)
