and when she speaks

I'm feeling very sentimental.Listening to 'USA for AFRICA-We are the world' song definitely adds up to it ;)And I'm feeling so loved...I love my friends and my family.Words cannot express my gratitude and I feel so blessed.Yesterday, I was studying with Boon for almost 8 hours straight...Then I needed to relax my heavy head and went off to Trina's and Max... and I got to use their toilet (YES-! I love having a good face mirror to practise my OSCE's ;) )OSCE is an exam examining your communication skills with your patients ;)Trina made me veggie pizza and fruit custard... She said 'No, tonight you're going to be studying, so you must go home with a full FULL stomach' and then, she pranced around doing a seductive dance trying to tempt me into eating her custard... which I gave in despite vowing to be healthier ;) hahahaha...The messages from them - all of them, just to check up on me, making sure I'm still alive ;) and sane makes my day... Not that there's any concern that I'd go quack...but it's so nice to have that. So nice to have that away from home. Nina said she'll bring nasi lemak over to me tonight...and said I shouldn't worry about anything and just concentrate on studying. I said 'I feel like I terhutang budi because I haven't been able to do anything for them since I've been preparing for my exams'With friends like that, they're your pillars of support over here. I truly appreciate all the showers of concern and love.I love you all *muacks* =)The love is as heartfelt and deep as it can possibl be from Sue-Sue's well of emotions :)

I came home yesterday morning after a brutal night...I received news yesterday morning that my host who was going to provide me accomodation suddenly changed his plan and his representative said he was now unable to put me up... and this is a week right before my departure to NYC.How irresponsible is that? Being a high ranked Malaysian official who tells you, a Malaysian student who has never been there before and has no support or relations over at the States, that you are left homeless only a week before you arrive...I was stressed out and tired, with the barely 5 hour nightly sleep I was getting trying to squeeze in time to study and juggling working ...I came home in the am on Saturday, skyped with mum, and fell asleep right in front of her eyes...I was exhausted, to say the least. Mentally, my mind and body weren't functioning at all.Here I am, back on Sunday- and I have to say the people I work with make things so much more bearable... Talking to my residents and my patients take things off my mind... Dealing with life and death matters put my problems into perspective. After all, you always juedge your worries relatively, right? ;)I looked at my timetable and smiled to myself, only a few more days to go, Sue Sue...I can do this.I'm sorry if I have made you and dad worry, mum :)And yiyi, that was really nice of you to give me a pep talk based from your experiences...I needed that. Once in awhile, a good pep talk like that makes me feel really motivated, and more calm-headed... less stranded. Understood and loved :) Yi is right, your family will listen to you and they understand. Most other people have too much troubles of their own to be able to really listen to you...Yiyi was like 'You can tell your boyfriend your problems' ;)I was like 'What boyfriend?'I don't have the time right now to juggle that...but I do have some really great concerned friends around :)
