WOW! What a week... busy busy week. I've been studying and doing projects and studying and doing projects... it's like an endless cycle. I have tests like every week and how i wish i'm exaggerating.

But i guess it paid off. I got an A for my Psychiatry test. And Mdm Heng told me that Mdm Hamidah informed her that I did very well for my Biology test! Yippee!! I wonder what's my score.

And today, i got a call from Changi General Hospital to come down for an interview. I was interviewed by Sr Nurse Manager, Sister Ong. Guess how long she interviewed me? 2 Hours! She was extremely nice to me. She told me how impressed she was when i touched on the responsibilities of an Assistant Nurse and my views on life and future. And she's also impressed with my grades, awards and testimonial.

Unfortunately, CGH is coming to their financial month which is in March and she's not sure if there's anymore sponsorship for me. I was a little disappointed coz i was really looking forward to get one as I need to save money for my Phuket trip with my girls in July and also to go back to America.

But Sister Ong told me not to be disheartened coz she'll secure a place for me after my graduation and she'll employ me on the spot when i come back next year. She have been a great lady to me and I really appreciated it.

For now, let's just hope that Human Resource will call me next week and tell me the odds that I've gotten the Sponsorship Bond. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I picked Zai up at her place and we head down to Tampines MRT control station to meet Sarina. Zai looked GORGEOUS as ever with her floral dress and black tights underneath. Sashayed around with her Coach bag looking sexy with a touch of class! We weren't late so that's a good start. Hehe! Then the 3 of us head down to Orchard... still not telling Zai where we had plans for her Birthday. And finally, we reached Royal Plaza on Scotts.

We had an exquisite High Tea Buffet at the newly built, Carousel. The restaurant is Halal since the hotel is owned by Sultan of Brunei. We had fun eating fresh baked waffles with ice cream and we can choose our own toppings. I had 2 servings of that. Sarina made her own "Rojak" and it turned out surprisingly nice. Haha! And the manager at the restaurant was extremely friendly to us. In fact, he paid extra attention to us which is rather weird. Oh well... but his service is definitely fantastic.

We then head down to the Airport for another surprised planned out for Zai. She thought we're just going there to chill and open her present but little did she know that all our other friends are waiting at the Macdonalds ready to give her a Surprise.

We were just looking around for a table and i was getting mad coz i didn't see anyone there at all and i sort of panicked a little bit. So when we finally grabbed a table, suddenly someone just burst out from our next table "Happy Birthday Zai!". Then came the rest -- Ira, Ana, Fazlin, and Ashika and all of them threw hugs at the almost tearing birthday girl.

The ironic thing is, Zai weren't the only one surprise... both me & Sarina was surprised too!! LOL! Coz we have NO IDEA that they were all just sitting at the table next to ours. Maybe coz they had their backs towards us and they seperated the tables and making it look like they weren't there together and blended in with the crowd.

Then came along the final surprise, Izam, Zai's loving fiance turned up with a cake together with his sister, Nana. This time, Zai just broke into tears.

After recovering from the shock (lol!)... we finally settled down and Zai opened her presents and cut the cake when Huda arrived. We decided to make a double birthday celebration as it Huda's birthday was around the corner as well.

This is what me & Sarina gave Zai. Thanks to Sharon for chipping in for the D'meyson diamond earring studs. Wished you were there too Sharon.

And the look on Zai's face when she read the Birthday Wishes Book... PRICELESS!

Thanks to everyone who came and made this an unforgettable event.

Thanks to Sarina for all the effort, tears and sweat to make this happen. I know how hard it is for you to run around trying to gather everyone all by yourself and thank you for understanding my tight study schedules. And especially to Zai... I am glad you enjoyed yourself. Hope this would be a moment for you to cherish before you leave Singlehood and cross into the marriage world next year. I love you alot girl and I have and will always treasure our friendship. Once again, Happy 23rd Birthday!

It's my bestfriend's birthday! My beautiful & lovely Zai is 23 years old today. Me & Sarina will be celebrating with her tomorrow. I'm so excited and I really miss her so much.
I really hope she'll like what we have planned for her. And credits to Sarina coz she have put in sooo much effort in this whole thang while I'm so busy caught up with my school tests and projects.

Well, something IDIOTIC happened today... I totally forgot to submit my application for the Edusave Merit Bursary Award and today is the dateline! I was busy planning about Zai's birthday with Sarina, Ira, Rehana & Fazlin, that it slipped my mind. I'm wishing, hoping, praying that they'll accept my application tomorrow or else $400 just went down the drain... *sob sob*

I met my Dad tonight. I miss him so much and it's been like 4 months since i saw him. So over teh tarik i made a HUGE CONFESSION to him. I confessed to him about my trip to USA last month. My Dad was the only one that was kept in the dark about my trip coz he wouldn't allow me to go to states. But surprisingly, he was so cool about it. I asked if he was mad but he just said "No, you've went and you're back safe... there's nothing i can do now."

And he could even joke about he would've called George Bush to not allow me to enter America if he had known i was on my way there. LOL! But that's my father, he's a joker and i love him to bits. He then asked me about my trip and how is the people way of living is like there. I told him about my plans to work there as a Nurse and he was very supportive about my dreams.

And I also decided to tell him about my relationship with Abdul. Seeing my Dad's faint little smile gave me a sense of relief and he even asked me when is Abdul coming to Singapore. I was so happy that he wants to meet my boyfriend. My Dad took it very well. I guess he could accept the fact that i'm grown now. But i will always still be my Daddy's Girl.

I was trying to figure out how to put this Keymo Mp3 player on my blog for like 3 hours! Finally it worked. Found Pretty Ricky "So Confused". This song is HOT!

Anyway, i tried to type a blog entry last night. I was halfway through writing when suddenly a huge cockroach just crawled really fast on my computer desk. I slammed my keyboard and pushed my chair away from the desk!!! NASTY! Eeeurgh! I hate roaches! I didn't finish my blog and i just shut down the PC. And now, i totally forgotten what I was gonna write yesterday.

Well, the weirdest thing happened today -- Anna Nicole Smith died. I know it's a sad tragedy but i just find it really odd. Just last week i was talking to Sarina about her and Sarina had no idea who she was... and today she died! I bet Sarina will definitely know her now. I guess people have to start dying to get Sarina to finally know that they existed. LOL!

This is Anna - Guess Model, Playboy Playmate, TV Star, Porn Star

I was a total A**HOLE today!

Yes, ME! Well, i was rushing t0 my Psychiatry class which is at the 6th floor and I'm stuck at the 2nd. So I tried to squeeze in the elevator but i got annoyed when i saw this one Chinese dude from another faculty standing in the middle of the lift with his back to me and didn't move in. I assumed that he's trying to be funny and made the lift look it's full coz these intellectually challenged bunch of ITE Students do that sort of bull**** all the time.

So I actually raised my voice at him and said "Eh... MOVE IN LAH!"
He turned and snapped at me "How to move in??" with his "Beng" accent and point to his front.

There sat a poor dude in a wheelchair and he was actually helping to push his friend. A sudden wave of embarassment, no.. actually a TSUNAMI of embarassment and mostly guilt just crash over me and i wished i could dig up a hole and bury myself in it and just DIE!

I immediately apologised to him but there i was... standing in the lift with everybody's eyes starring dagger at me like I was this inconsiderate idiot. What's even worse is i'm in my Nursing uniform. But when he was going to exit the lift, i tapped on his shoulder and said, "Hey, I'm really sorry..." and luckily he was nice and told me it's okay.

Dammit... what a nightmare!

"Dear Lubaina,
I congratulate you on your good academic performance and you are eligible
for the Edusave Merit Bursary."

Yay me! It's about time they payin' me some dough since I've been studying my butt off. I dunno how much i'm getting but I sure hope it's worth my effort.

Finally, a blog I can call my own. I thought this is sooOo ME! Pink & Black is definitely my theme. I spent like 3 days tho to learn how to design this skin. Adobe Photoshop really can work wonders. I'm quite a fast learner coz my sister just taught me the basics and I figure the rest out on my own. But I must say a BIG thank you to my lil' sis, Umaimah -- "Love you baby gurl! Thanks!"

Did my Insulin Injection Phase Test this morning. I got Madam Phua as my assessor and I know how she's very strict and particular about every little things there is. So I was practically spouting out ALL the rationales tho I kinda screwed up a few questions she threw at me. But at the end of the test she told me that I was by far the best she've seen for the day. Alhamdullilah!

After school, I visited Sufiyan @ Changi General Hospital with Jai. He broke his Spinal Vertebrae from C1-C5 but the surgery was successful and now he is recovering pretty well. He was really adorable when he starts to revise about our Biology "Endocrine Glands". I really miss those times when he used to annoy the hell outta me by telling me about his 1'001 girlfriends!! I will pray for his speedy recovery so that he could graduate with us next year.

Then both Jai & me headed back to my home with the plans to study psychiatry to prepare for the test next week. BUT as usual, Jai is always distracted by my computer & Cable TV. And he have been trying to persuade me for weeks to sing with him a duet for Nurses' Day.

Oh well... we'll see...

Then we downloaded some cool and some funny videos from youtube and somehow, i came about falling in love again with Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You". She just gave me goosbumbs when i hear her sing that song. Phenomal!

I am addicted to blogging already... Can you believe it? This is not healthy at all coz i need to study and all I have been doing is stay on this computer figuring out how I can design my blog skins. I have all these ideas on how to design them with glitters and colours.

Tomorrow is my Insulin Injection Phase Test. "Ya Allah... please help me sail through it." I wanna get A for this one although i don't know if that's possible since i haven't been mastering the skills. I'm sooo toast!

And I'M GUILTY AS CHARGED! Haven't done my revision Biology Class Test 1. I'm greatly dissapointed with myself coz i didn't do what i'm supposed to do for this weekend as planned.

I miss Jamal. I told him about this Soo Kee Diamond Ring that i saw at Tampines Mall. It's on sale and the thin white gold band fits my little finger perfectly. I just fell in love with it. And Jamal being such a sweetheart, he offered to buy it for me but i turned him down. Not only the western union is such a hassle but by the time i wait for my baby to get his salary... the ring will be sold out. Perhaps next time...

Perhaps... perhaps... perhaps...

A blast from the past text messaged me on my cell today. An invitation to tea & talk. This ain't the first time he holla. I've turned down his offer a couple of times last year but seems like this stubborn individual ain't gonna give it up. His statement was "I wanna personally apologize to you and to be honest I miss you..."

(gasp!) Seriously? Like seriously?? Ignorant.

I am so over this bullcrap and I ain't the same ol' Lulu like before. Still not perfect though... Just FABULOUS!
