Did you know that . . .

In Australia, induced birth is a very common practice as birth of a baby has to fit into the doctor's schedule.

(ie, the doctor has golf session in the afternoon thus induces labour in the morning)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Appointment has to be made in order to see a doctor for consultation.

You cannot just walk in to the clinic. They will not attend to you.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Asians are surprised that I even speak Mandarin at all.

"You speak chinese? I am shocked!"

"Yes I do. I'm a Chinese."

Australians are surprised that I can form a proper sentence in English.

"You speak English well. Where are you from?"

"I'm from Singapore, and our first language is English."

"Oh yes."

What's with all these misconceptions of my linguistic ability?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I will only go back to Singapore when I'm done with college here.

Will not be going back during my October break as the semester exam is somehow dragged into the break period, and not to mention that the external exam starts in November.

All about

Jack (or is it Jane?) of all trades,
(almost!)

but Master of none.
(trying to!)

This is my paradise, where I indulge my senses grandiloquently.

A collective effort to keep family & friends updated, and for random strangers to pop by.

I wanted to put a HUGE picture of myself in this space, but being the technologically challenged person that I am, I can't figure out the mojo of it.

So I guess I'll just have to make do with scattering loads of random self-shots all over the blog!
