Swollen little finger :(

Look at my swollen little finger :(

So I went to play basketball today with my classmates and sprained my little finger when i was trying to get the ball. Looks like I need to practise the proper way of receiving the ball more eh? I realised that the little finger is actually more important then the middle finger, in terms of doing daily activities. 'Cause I sprained my middle finger multiple times before, same reason T.T It's been a while and although it doesn't hurt, the joint never did recover fully. I still can't put my ring thru :( Anyway, simple things like holding chopsticks, typing, writing, braking on my bike and generally holding any sort of item - I couldn't do them properly! I don't remember being so inconvenienced when I sprained my middle finger. Well hope it recovers soon, imma head to bed early tonight 'cause I feel really tired. not sure if its the gym session before playing basketball or simply me not being used to having free afternoons so I just feel nua. Hahaha.

P.S.I love you

P.S.I love you :) One of the few movies that had me crying from start to end.

Had a very long day at intern today - in the morning there were seven students including me all squeezed behind the doctor and I came in last, so I had to stand right at the end of the line where I could barely see or hear anything. Luckily I eventually managed to wedge myself between the wall and the other students sitting in front of me. It was quite uncomfortable, but I could learn a lot more from that position. Ended up with very tired legs so I ate a lot at lunch and pampered myself with a coco drink! :D In the afternoon I had to battle with the post-lunch sleepiness, sad to say I lost a few times. I really should start eating lesser at lunch eh! Throughout the afternoon I kept feeling like my period came - there was this odd feeling in my lower back and I just didn't feel well. Odd to say this, but I felt better when my period actually came! I don't usually exert myself when my period comes, but as I already made plans with Sharyl I headed to gym after intern. Really glad I did, I got to exercise and do some PT with classmates and even got to dance a little! Completely forgot that I was on my period, and after that I could barely feel the discomfort. Must keep up this exercise liao. I really think it alleviates menstrual cramps yayy!
Came home to an awesome dinner, and for some reason the internet connection was really slow so we couldn't load the movie that Sharyl wanted to show us. It was until quite late that I managed to load this really old movie I watched back in my JC days called 'P.S.I love you'. It left a really lasting impression on me, because it was the first movie that I cried from the start to end and completely wet Yixin's shoulder. I think at one point of time he even reached over and offered his hand when I asked him if he had more tissue cos I had finished mine. Good old times. Re-watching the movie, with english subtitles this time, I realised that it wasn't such a depressing show as I remembered it to be; in fact I found a lot of the dialogue hilarious! But ah, I think i'm about the only person in the entire household who's such a sucker for sad romantic movies. I actually like being emo sometimes!
I'm blogging so late because I don't have to wake up early for school tmr - it's photo-taking day and we're all taking a day off! Going to get my beauty sleep now~

Beijing Happy Valley

Day out at Beijing Happy Valley :D

Oops so my plan of blogging daily to improve my English does not seem to be working out too well. I keep forgetting! Here's a late night blog post to end off the day. Last week we went to Beijing Happy Valley 'cause the tickets were on offer and we've always wanted to visit an amusement park here. We went on a weekday, so we didn't have to wait long for the rides. I sat on a grand total of two rides - one was a mini roller coaster which i enjoyed thoroughly, the other was some giant spinning thing that felt like a viking ship, only it flings you in all directions. Conclusion: I will not go on anything other than mini roller coasters. While I was being flung around in the spinning thingy all I could think of was 'OMG OMG IF THIS THING OPENS IM GONNA DIEEEEE' It was rather traumatising. For some reason I was feeling hungry the whole time, plus nauseous when I got down from the spinning ride, so I kept eating. Not a good idea for someone who's trying to lose weight, but I couldn't help it haha. Let's see, I had a sausage when I first entered, then chicken burger for lunch, then churros with chocolate, then a chicken skewer, and finally a blueberry yogurt. Wow, it sure looks like a lot when typed out. It was a great day out with great company and awesome unhealthy food :)
...Time for sleep lo! Goodnight beautiful world~

Chocolate love

My kinder joy toys~

Looks like i'm really making it a habit to come write in here haha. Nowadays I've been snacking on chocolate a lot because it makes me happy and also because I don't get heaty no matter how much I eat! It's probably cos Beijing is so cold and dry unlike Singapore, so imma feast on these yummy stuff while I can. Got these kinder joys at the minimart near our place - they came in boxes of three and the price tag below read 8.50yuan. Too cheap! So I got myself a box only to find that the cashier scanned the three eggs individually. So i ended up splurging on these luxury chocolates. Guess I can pamper myself once in a while! Oh dinner is ready, off to dinner~~

Wore my new boots out today! :D

It's almost midnight and I should probably go to sleep but I did say I would come blog more often to practise my english! Haha. For some reason I've been really tired the past few days so I went to bed early yesterday and let myself sleep in until 11am today. Enjoying life eh? Met up with Minru's uncle and aunt at 崇文门 and had amazing 东坡肉 and various yummy dishes for lunch. We always get good food when we go out with them, really grateful that they're so nice to us! After lunch we walked around and helped Minru choose her new pair of adidas shoes. They're so pretty, and my favourite colour too! It's always nice to have family around when we're so far away from home. I miss being the pampered kid. Back home, I never had to worry about anything else other than my grades! Still a good experience to come to Beijing though. Brings me out of my comfort zone and forces me to grow up and be responsible for myself. Oh and about my new boots, you know when i sent Yixin a pic of the boots he said 'you like this kind of boots I give you my army boots can already' !!! T.T I must insist that it's much more fashionable than army boots! Humphs. Saw our favourite instructor at gym today, he waved bye to me and added that I'm 'beautiful' (only word i caught but i shall assume that it's a compliment for me HAHAHA). Wonderful day today! Starting my internship in a new department tmr, hope everything goes well~

景山公园！

Hello beautiful world! Yet another lazy Saturday morning~ I'm just sitting at the dining table after having my delicious Nutella for breakfast and watched a new episode of Vampire Diaries! This show gets me all hyper and pumped up everytime I watch it haha. All the good-looking people! The rest of the household isn't awake yet - we had a movie marathon last night and I konked out halfway through the first movie HAHA. But hey, I had a really tiring day in the wards! Finally it's time to move on to a new department after two weeks of intensive work in the gynae wards. I learnt how to properly do admin work and even got to scrub in for 2 operations! Amazing yet extremely scary experience. Now it's starting to get really cold in Beijing- it's getting hard to cycle around without feeling uncomfortably cold. Still loving the low temps though! I'll definitely miss it when I return to sunny Singapore.
...On a sidenote, I'm finding it more and more difficult to express my thoughts in english. I think being in an all-chinese environment has definitely impacted my ability to converse and write in english. I even write my letters to be sent back home in Chinese! Cos I rather enjoy admiring my pretty handwriting HAHA. Okayokay I should probably blog more then eh? And watch more American/English shows.
We're still having dance lessons for our class, and now that it's turning darker earlier we've moved to an empty space inside a building where there are lights. But that also means we can't share our dance practices with the patients who frequently sit out at the garden during their free time :( I hope we can keep the dance sessions going! It's always nice to have gatherings with classmates now that it's so difficult to see them regularly. I sure miss those days of having lessons together in the classroom all day long. Tiring yes, less freedom yes, but there's a sense of belonging and unity when we're all together. During intern it's more of you being alone with a huge gang of china students. Sure we can communicate, but it's difficult to click cos of cultural differences. Yesterday my senior was sharing a joke which I completely couldn't get hahaha. K I shall go finish up my binglis. There's been a lot of love around me lately, just wanna say, I miss my boy so much ♥
