Everybody has a say...

My ex-teacher says, "You have a boyfriend, right? No? Don't bluff me lah! You're such a nice girl, surely got...no ar? Don't worry, God will bring you one soon!" Okie...I'll wait.

My landlady says, "Don't get married unless you find the right one". Yup...I know.

Aunty Sze says, "It's really easy for girls to get attracted to spiritually mature guys". I couldn't agree more.

My sis Jo says, "When are you gonna get a boyfriend, Ly?" Well, Jo...why don't you tell the guys to move their butts?

My tai kar jie says, "I'll introduce you to this nice guy lah, k". Umm...no! Don't!!

Daddy says, "You will know it when he's the right one". I want to believe, but I don't know if I'll be able to tell when my time comes.

To myself I say, "I'm not pressured! I'm not pressured! I'm NOT pressured!"

The Bible says, "Do not stir up nor awaken love until it pleases".

And so...I wait.

FRIENDS #5

It's time to talk about my friends again.

Zul is a nice dude. You just have to minus these...

~ the vulgarity in his speech sometimes
~ the countless times he makes fun of me
~ names he gives me...like "Lyly" and "Tongkat Lyly" and "Auntie Ly" and some other stuff (I don't know where he gets his wild ideas from), the most recent one is "Lydiot"...gosh, his guts!!!
~ irritating me to the very core at times
~ leaving for tutorial, leaving me sleeping by myself in the McDonald's canteen
~ putting a bottle of salt from the restaurant into my bag when I'm not looking
~ being part of sending suicidal smses from MY handphone to other friends and scaring the daylights out of them till they had to call me and ask if I was alright, and I had no clue what they were referring to
~ being part of a great sabo idea...and I had to lead AEROBIC EXERCISES in front of over 200 people in the lecture hall. Why? Oh, just because I decided to play a trick on him and took his student admission card...

Hmmm...not bad. He's nice. Heehee...well, okie...really, it's great having him around.

Zul is one guy you've really got to know...I cannot explain it in words; you need to get to know him to understand what I mean. He's a really good friend. Seriously. But...BUT, never ever play a trick on him. I've learnt that well (I just think of what happened to me doing the aerobics in lecture and I forget the whole idea of playing any trick on him).

He's there when all's good, he's there when all's turned sour. I don't know why, but I like talking with him. It's probably because he listens a lot...he doesn't need to say much. Not only that...I think he's come to respect my beliefs and values. And I respect him for that... =)

And I love the fact that I can tell when he's being emo or thinking about the girl standing over in a corner, or when he's upset about something. HAHAHAHAHH!!!

* Sorry, Zul...for "reading" your mind (so you think, hehe). Told you I'm psychic! ;)

melanchoLY

It's one of those rare days...I hate the feeling.

Today, it's because I'm wondering if my friends doubt me...I'm thinking whether they trust me enough to keep their secrets, to listen when they need to say something, to just be there. If they know me well enough, they should know better...

And I know I need to learn that I'm definitely not everyone's best kind of friend...I struggle when it comes to "sharing" friends. Or even my sisters. I'll be honest here...I get slightly, if not very, envious when people start getting close to those who are close to me. Call me stingy, selfish...whatever. I know it's not right...but I'm still learning.

(Oh I know...Ryan's gonna think that the melancholic side of me is showing up now...)

Hate this feeling.

Think I'll just go and have my dinner and read my textbook and then do something relaxing. Yup...that's what I'll do.

Found nowhere else...only at IMH

So tomorrow's my last day at IMH...WHEEEEEE!!!!!!! =D

Hehe, sorry lah...I just find myself so fruitless over there. As I've said, not my kind of environment to work in...nevertheless, it is an experience I know I'll never be able to find elsewhere. I mean...where else can I go and have men asking me if I've had sex before??? Or whether he can touch me?? Or even better, tell me that I'm charming after ten minutes of talking to me (I mean, he's the one talking, and all I ever did was nod my head and say, "Mmhhmmm")? See? Invaluable...kekekekeh... =P

By now, Pork Chop has become my favourite patient. Because he has the mental age of a five year-old, he can't even hold a short decent conversation and he displays tantrums and sometimes aggression...like, even when he's dancing. He shakes around, then runs towards me and kicks in the air...about one arm's length away from my face. I got a big shock when he first did it. But he's really cute lah. =)

incidents

INCIDENT #1:
Ms. Lydia Tang and Ms. Yong Chin Fang are sitting at a table, with Mr. Pork Chop sitting opposite them. Mr. Boss comes along...

Boss to Pork Chop: Wei, Ms. Tang shi wo de, hor...ni bu yao dong ta! (Ms. Tang is mine. You don't touch her.)
Pork Chop: *mumbles something incomprehensible*

Ms. Yong gives Ms. Tang a sideway glance, a teasing smile playing on her lips. Ms. Tang gives a weird expression to Ms. Yong.

................................................................

INCIDENT #2:
Ms. Lydia Tang enters the ward. A new young male patient who was admitted over the weekend, comes up to her.

Patient: Hello...what's your name?
Ms. Tang: Hi...I'm Lydia.
Patient: Hi... *pauses* ...you're very good-looking, you know...
Ms. Tang: Umm...okie. Thank you. *smiles awkwardly*
Patient: *continues staring at Ms. Tang* Can I touch you?
Ms. Tang: *backs away immediately, crosses her arms* NO. I'M YOUR NURSE, YOU'RE MY PATIENT, OK. *gives the death glare*
Patient: *smiles like a silly cheeky goat* I'm just joking lah, huh...

Ms. Tang, feeling utterly shocked, walks away .

................................................................

INCIDENT #3:
Three or four male patients surrounding Ms. Lydia Tang...

Patients: You got boyfriend or not???
Ms. Tang: YES!

Ms. Tang, in her heart thinking, "God, please forgive me for lying!!"

.................................................................

Conclusion: After this Friday, Ms. Tang wouldn't wanna go back to IMH (Institute of Mental Health) nor meet any schizophrenics nor terribly delusioned people for a very, very looooooong time.

Show over

Like Dad said, "The drama is over...curtains closed."

I'm feeling relieved...and the level of stress has definitely decreased. Thank God! But I really hope with all my heart that there will not be a Part 2 or any sequel.

Whatever happened has only deepend my appreciation for my parents and whatever values they have imparted to me and my sisters...they are probably two of the wisest people I've ever known. And I am no less grateful for my four wonderful sisters. They are the nicest people and room-mates I've ever lived with...

By the way, Mr. Pork Chop now calls me "Lau-Bu" (which means "mother" in Hokkien). Gosh!!!
