Orthopaedics & Traumatology


Tub's birthday was a big success! Everyone had a rocking good time, especially the kids and that's what matters the most! The only thing I had to complain about was the fact that I FORGOT to pop the poppers during the cake cutting... But it's okay because the party was awesome anyways!! :D

On another note, I've started my 5th posting already - Orthopaedics! Good riddance paeds, hehe. It was a very longgggg and draggy posting, and I can honestly say you won't be finding me anywhere near those departments lol ;p I've always favoured surgery based postings so I'm hoping this one will be good to me! Wish me luck!!!!


Best part about it - once a week calls! Ahmagaaaaah culture shock la so free wannnnnnn!! :D

Eleven

So excited for my tubby's birthday this Sunday! Super busy day tomorrow (today?) but i hope everything falls into place. I'm in charge of most of the decorations, party favours and games and that's a big responsibility to shoulder! ;) Running around today to:
  • Central Market to get the printed mugs and badges
  • Great Eastern Mall to settle the balloon payment and delivery
  • Print shop in Melawati to print the centerpieces for the tables
  • Email DCS entertainment to confirm last minute details for the face painter
  • Pick up guitar hero from Lyn and Dida
And looooootssss more. Hopefully we can squeeze in a nice lunch with mama somewhere in there. Will update with pictorials soon. Goodnight xx

$$$

Got into a very heated discussion with my boyfriend yesterday regarding my (lack of) financial prudence. I earn a pretty decent paycheck every month considering i'm a fresh grad, but somehow nothing seems to be left over every month! He says i spend too lavishly but seriously i do not see it! I eat at mediocre places, i fill up my tank with Ron95 and i don't pay for any utilities (so lucky to still be living under my mother's roof he he) but still $$ is an issue.

The only thing i can see is that my only vice is handbags. That, i cannot resist. A big chunk of my pay goes toward paying off credit card debt - that sounds worse than it actually is, i'm not actually in debt.. i prefer to look at it as INSTALLMENT plan ;) Plus i never buy more than one bag at a time, that way i'm only paying for one particular bag at a time. SEE! FINANCIAL PRUDENCE! It's not my fault the things i like are expensive :(

But seriously. I was talking to a friend yesterday who earns less than me and has been working for a shorter period of time and she has waaaay more saved aside from her pay! This really opened my eyes and made me reflect.

I need to start saving too. If not for a rainy day, for a nice Balenciaga, maybe? ;)

I decided to go with the MacBook Pro! 17" baby!! Was contemplationg between the 15 and 17, but went with the bigger instead. Bigger is better, right? Urgh but now i'm regretting it a bit because 1) no SD slot!!! The main thing i do is transfer pics and there's TWOOOOO SD slots on the 15. GRR! Also, it's difficult getting accesories for the 17 tho... I don't even have a case/sleeve yet. Eyeing this one by Antenna:


...But amazon refuses to send to Malaysia. Had the same problem when i wanted to purchase through shopbop for a Marc Jacobs one, the order went thru and then got cancelled because of suspicious credit card, to avoid cc fraud. So frustrating!


So for the time being, my baby is nekkid :)
