You can make your eyes biggers, face slimmer, nose higher, make yourself taller etc with this incredible software.

Had Photoshop on my computer for at least 2 years but I’ve NEVER tried using it before because it sounds soooo complicated! But because I had some spare time at the moment, I finally attempted to try this software.

Look what I’ve done, with the help of Xiaxue‘s video tutorials:

OH.EMM.GEE.

1st time doing this so still very noobie. james says chin too small for face LOL.

But, WOW.

The modifications I’ve done in this picture were making my face slimmer and sharper, nose smaller, iris abit wider, and attempted to make my complexion clearer and make my arm slimmer.

Crazy, huh?

Even crazier thinking how some bloggers PS all their photos!! Too much time in their hands, really. *applaud* You’ll never expect this from me hurhur.

Feel so fat now HAHAHAHA.

Went to James Cook Hotel for high tea last Saturday cos’ Lyds got a grabone coupon! 1 for 1 with free bubbles/non-alcoholic drink each!

Whitby’s Restaurant is located on the 17th floor of the hotel, and when we first stepped into the restaurant, we went like ‘whoa!! nice view!’, cos we could see sea behind the many sky scrapers.

But when we were shown to our seats, this was our view:

LOL, tiiiiiiny view of the sea. Bugger!

Anywayyyyyyyyy.

What I wore:

Embellished black top: Random shop in Far East Plaza, Singapore

Cardigan: Lolita, Australia

Maxi skirt: One of my fav shops in Far East Plaza but can’t remember name anymore, Singapore

Ordered our drinks – a choice of bottomless tea/a coffee. Got up at like 1130 that morning and haven’t had my dose of coffee for the day so I ordered a trim flat white while Lyds ordered Earl Grey tea!

Coffee wasn’t too bad!

Lyds was txting and forgot all about her tea it became super strong she had to ask the waiter for a new cup and more water hahaha.

And then the 3-tier tea tray was served!

Food!!!!

Close up of what we got!

Nomnomnom.

Poor Lyds had to wait for me to take photos of the food before she could start noming hehee.

We were also busy ogling at some sportsmen who were having their lunch there too hahaha! We were guessing if they were rugby players from the Wellington team or from somewhere else. :3

Like all the previous high teas that I’ve been to, I didn’t manage to finish it again hahaha. In my opinion, I find it abit pricy for what we get. It’s normally $39 per pax but thanks to the grabone coupon that Lyds got, we managed to get this half price so it wasn’t too bad! The quality of the food is only so-so, I wouldn’t go raving about it for days. But the cakes are not too bad.

I think there are still a  number of high tea places in Wellington and I’ve read up on a couple of them so pretty keen to try! Wonder if any of them serve with dainty little cups with pretty floral prints.. Like this!

Then went over to Lyd’s place to hang for abit and met Rocky, her friend/landlady/flatmate’s dog! He’s so adorable and friendly!

Okay, I’m contemplating whether to go to work this afternoon or not. 2.5hrs to start of shift but I’ve been laosai-ing all morning. Since yesterday actually. HAIYOOOOOOOO.

Don’t gross you guys out already. Byebyeeeeeee~

So, yeah, thinking about my future. Damn kiasu right? Pfffft.  But the more I thought about it (have been thinking + drawing up a timeline etc.. now I think I’m super lame), the more stressed and worried I get, and so I stopped bothering about it. And threw my so-called timeline aside. Only aside, not away, because it may come to use one day. Hur hur.

I’ve come to realise that nothing is predictable.  You could plan to finish your training (in my case lah), get married, earn this amount, buy a house and make it a home (darn huge investment), maybe migrate, have kids etc at different stages of your life, but this is only planning, it may not happen the way you want it to. Events may happen along the way, hindering you from finishing what you started or even start pursuing it, got to think for the other half (if you’ve got one), money, and how to do it to the best of yourself and your family. I’m not saying we shouldn’t plan, it is good, at least you have a mindset of what you want to achieve. I’m just saying things may happen differently!

I think people who have a good career, a family, are healthy and lives comfortably are like superheroes. I don’t know how they do it. I’ve always wanted kids and take care of them full-time when they’re teeny weeny, but now I think about the PAIN I have to go through (maybe x 2/3/4?!?! don’t get me started. I WILL have epidural no excuses), the money I need to use, the loss of income if I drop my career (for the time being), how to be a BETTER person for new VIPs in my life!

I really don’t wanna grow up. Why do we have to worry about so many issues?

I’m just gonna leave this thought aside and procrastinate. Maybe I’ll find my solution as the issues come lol.

I’m just whiny, I guess.

arhhhhhhhhh should i get these!?

*dilemma*

LOL long story short eventually I fell asleep la (no surprise), but only for half hour though cos the shuttle came to pick me up!

Had such a lax time in Dunedin – it was total NUA-NESS I tell you. Uber love. Everyday wake up, have coffee, watch some telly, watch James play some PS3, lunch.. Dinner.. Supper.. HAHAHA.

Ideas initially planned for the CNY weekend all fell through HAHAHAHAHA, like baking with Jon, going to Chinese Garden to watch fireworks, sing K. HAHA. BUT STILL A GD BREAK I THINK!

Pictorial below! Have a good CNY y’all! Only wish I was in Singapore to celebrate it. This is very possibly my 6th year not celebrating CNY back home I MISS PINEAPPLE TARTSSSSS~ The only ONE I tried this year (or even the last few years) was when I was shopping with Stephie @ Taka. There were free samples and she got like 200 pineapple tarts for her family! YUMMERS~~~

P.S. LOL, yes my sis is born in the year of the dragon and she’s gone through 2 cycles now and so.. she is 24yo this year omgomgomg. We are all getting olddddddddd~

OKAY, BYEBYE!

That’s right, it’s night shift for me this whole week, and it’s night 7 of 7 tonight WOOPIE!!!!!!!

Anyhoo, God has been gracious. My most feared shift of all time is actually going great. Nothing major has happened and the kids have been very good. So thankful for the awesome paediatric nurses, they are simply the best. Was fervently reading through the advanced paediatric life support folder (which is nearly 300 pages long!) in the last couple of days, just in case anything serious happened to the kiddies. On the bad side, I probably should be waiting to see some good interesting cases while on this shift so I can be more prepared in my next lot of night shift in 6 weeks. Mm, I’ll just see what comes.

So whilst on my night shift, I’ve actually managed to waste make use of my time doing a couple of things, and here’s what I’ve been up to!

1. ONLINE SHOPPING

I tell you, this is probably the WORST thing that I should be doing!!! I’ve bought a total of…

- 4 items from Gipsy Scarlet (OMG I didn’t know they have such pretty clothesssss!!)

THE MODEL IS DAMN CHIO LOH. LOL.

- 3 + 2 items from Love Bonito (I know, on TWO separate occasions I’ve bought a total of 5 items :\)

- 1 item from Her Velvet Vase

- 1 item from Oh So Fickle

- AND COUNTING………. Who knows who’s gonna launch tonight!

IT IS MADNESSSSSSSSSSS.

I haven’t bought too many in sucha short span of time for the loooongest time because the blogshop launches are usually around evening time in Singapore, that makes it about 12-1am here in NZ. So, yes, I’ve been sadly missing out on launches, although not entirely, particularly the camping and F5ing bit!

Which reminds me, I was camping for OSF’s launch wanting to get 3 items looking at the preview the night before! AND I ONLY MANAGED TO GET ONE ITEM. SADNESSSSSSSSS. Anyway, moving on.

2. TWEETING AND WHATSAPPING ++ (and blogging! like now!)

Honestly, this night shift has been different from the previous ones that I’ve done (Gen Med, Gen Surg). We are expected to keep ourselves awake just in case we miss pages/we’re too groggy to see a super sick child. So yes, I’ve been staying up for most of my shifts (except once when I dozed off for like half an hour! I actually feel abit bad, but thankfully it was a quiet night!).

So using this time I’ve been tweeting abit more and because most of my twitter friends are in Singapore (YOOOHOOOOO!), there’s more interaction rightrightright!?

*Pause. Just had a call from ED for some advice for a kiddy.* Back now!

So yeah, I think I just like talking too much. And being on night shift does make you slightly, no, VERY socially isolated. I normally get home by 0830, sleep till about 4-5pm (EXCEPT FOR TONIGHT I GOT UP AT 8PM WHAT!!!!!!), have dinner, sleep abit more, work, and the cycle repeats x7. And so, virtual interactions have become super duper important!

*Just got back from Emergency! 1 new admission *

Okay I think end of section.

3. READING

You know, I’ve never been a HUGE reader. I never used to like reading at all as a child. Dad used to force sis and I to read during our school holidays and expect us to write a summary about the books we’ve read. Not a huge fan, ay. And so when it was time to submit our ‘homework’, I just copied the blurb on the back of the book and gave it to my Dad. Either he thinks it’s FOR REAL, or he’s just letting me off, for like 10 years. HAHAHAHAHA. He probably doesn’t read it, he just wanted to ‘motivate’ us to read, that’s all! So I taught my sis this sneaky trick too. LOL.

So I actually started reading The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy since last year. Very interesting, I must say. I finished the first 2 very quickly, and before I left Singapore in Nov last year, I got the last book hoping to finish it while I’m here in NZ. Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to a year. HAHAHA. So this book has literally become my ‘plane book’, i.e. I only read it when I’m on a flight to somewhere. Probably cos the 3rd book only got more exciting at the end, I didn’t have the same urge to finish reading it within a couple of days. So yes, I FINALLY FINISHED READING IT WOOHOO!!!!!! Now I can go watch the movie.

Speaking of the movie, I’ve watched The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo that was filmed in Swedish – super disappointed in the movie, I must say. Emphasised on the WRONG scenes, should’ve chosen a more handsome Mikael Blomvist (I’m sorry, but he was portrayed as a good looking 40+ man but I cannot imagine falling in love with that guy in the Swedish film) etc. And so didn’t watch the other 2. Truth be told, I think Noomi Rapace played Lisbeth super well!!! And now there is hope! They’re using Daniel Craig as Mikael in the English version so that’s one good point! I hope it won’t be as bad as the Swedish one otherwise I’d be super sad.

EEW BJURMAN GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mmm, yes I think you would be a yummier Mikael HAHAHA

I’ve also started reading my life application bible! I’ve been reading it on and off while reading my bible for further reference but nothing too detailed. Only started this yesterday though. I must say I’m learning so much more with all the detailed reading! Thank God.

4. Dazing

I know, I’m so good at it, I tell you!!

5. And of course, working

HAHAHA, what? You know I very free ah?

OKAY END OF RANT BYEBYEBYEBYEBYEBYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I actually got the job in Wellington (smileeeeee). They emailed me sometime in September that they had a vacancy and I took up the opportunity immediately!

Went to melb w L and melb hasnt been as pleasant as how it was in my prev 2 trips. Lets just say we felt v cheated at the end of the trip – from the hotel standard to our lunch provided by the great ocean road tour! Boohoo.

Anyhoo, I’m into my 4th week of work now. Paeds is v different from what I remembered it being. Pray that I get used to looking at freaking rashessssss and doing super thorough exams.

Pictorials to colour this blog once more

Time for bed it’s been a day of 100% laziness and i am super proud of it hahahah.

]]> http://jesslove.wordpress.com/2011/08/26/1935/feed/ 1 jesslove http://jesslove.wordpress.com/2011/08/13/jobbbbbb/ http://jesslove.wordpress.com/2011/08/13/jobbbbbb/#comments Sat, 13 Aug 2011 05:47:45 +0000 jesslove http://jesslove.wordpress.com/?p=1931 ]]> So… I didn’t get a job in Wellington, which I kinda suspected too.. SO many PGY1s got positions there, and according to them, ‘high staff retention’, which I can completely understand why. Wellington’s a great place to work in.

Does this bring us into our 2nd year of long distance? I mean, we’ve done this for nearly a year now, should I assume that we’ll be fine? Few of my friends have been there, done that. Some have been successful with their LDRs, others didn’t. I think stats wise it’s 50%-50%! That’s not helpful, is it?

Lydia and sistel say I should email Welly again. Hmm, maybe I should, won’t hurt me anyway! Plus I put in so much effort into my CV, cover letter, references, would be a waste if I just left it like this.

Why am I blogging everyday now. Maybe I like talking to myself? Lol.
