ahaha i dunno HOW to post multiple photos onto blogger but this is the show ive been watching non stop! i think i overshot the rental period but heck. yah

its good stuff its not showing on tv now but i predict it will. anyway i think every single character from the shenyixialu has appeared inside. the two of them, - except this time the silly follower is a different guy who actually looks much better - then the rival in love is not that gao yuan yuan but its another girl - and the emperor is more shuai and has good muscles. hahaha other than that. so many pple reused! the yu ren jie, the sudden assasinist, her daughter in the last ep

i think my words may have more meaning if i type a synopsis at some synopsis vcd place. and it was precisely why i cudnt find a decent synopsis around that is so annoying. but good cause it preserved the dramatic ending and made it such a good watch.

ya but okae i shall consider that another time maybe on spcnet. cause they're good but they're so good that if i write one for them they might not consider it.

ANYWAY. here's the story.

wumeiniang grows up in this nice family in this nice town. she makes two very good friends. yingying and xiaoduo. xiaoduo is a guy. anyway so they become sworn siblings cause they grew up together and had so much fun together.

one day the crown prince goes on a walk along this silly town she lives in. and spots her. okae interestingly she's supposed to be drop dead gorgeous. i dun really see that she's that beautiful to be swooned over at first sight but ah ya. guess what the crown prince falls in love just by looknig at her and he has a portrait of her drawn. for him to admire at home.

meanwhile she goes along with her life and meets this li jun xian who is -zhaowenzhuo and they start this pre courtship stuff. haha erh for some reason they have this purple bracelet each like some birthgift momento thing. anyway that was what made them first meet. she thought he stole hers - when acutally they both had one each same colour and same pattern. purple. but i think different words.

and then back in the palace. somehow this portrait FALLS into the hands of the emperor and he also love at first sight demands meiniang to be brought into the palace as a gongnu. and guess who goes to carry out this order. li jun xian who happens to be a big general in the palace. anwyay when he went there. the local magistrate didint really like meiniang and somehow or rather caused the death of her father. so despite her not wanting to give up her freedom and go into the palace, she agreed cause she wanted to avenge her father.

now, that local magistrate was afraid wumeiniang might come back and do sth bad to him- so along the way to the palace he tries to kill her. and li jun xian does a lot of things to save her. including this SUDDEN appearance of a HOT AIR BALLOON. (...) anyway by doing so he accidentally fulfills her long time wish of "wanting to fly" and makes her fall more head over heels with him. so in this case she is the one that takes the initiative after so many ying xiong jiu mei times haha.

anyway they reach the palace and more things happen, cause this bad magistrate has an uncle in the palace and this uncle high position and powerful and more trouble is made and lijunxian saves wumeiniang many many times.

meanwhile her two best buddies yingying and xiaoduo enter the palace as palace maids. and xiaoduo regrettably as an eunuch. but he grows on yu and he's such a glib talker and likeable person yu kind of forget he's a eunuch and he serves wumeiniang really well best friends and all he cals her "laoda" all the time.

yingying is also quite pretty and then she falls in love with the crown prince. who is totally smitten by wumeiniang. and so it happens the jealousy that will consequently tear the two good friends apart.

okay so the current emperor VERY OLD. spends the night with wumeiniang. but nobody noes if they actually did anything inside. hahaha wumeiniang pacified him by quoting military books and basically impressing him with her outstanding abilities and then making him drunk. but when she comes out she doesnt say anything so many pple think she actually did sth with the emperor.

anyway a lot of random things happen in between. uh
the emperor came across the rock that hinted that his empire will be overhtrown by a person surnamed WU. haha. okae that put him on guard. but very few pple know about it.

and then this emperor dies.
so the crown prince takes over!

i think ishud really submit this to spcnet cause itll be such a waste.

crown prince becomes emperor. according to their crazy empire guidelines all old women of hte old emperor have to go to become nuns. and that means wumeiniang too.

all this while lijunxian being the blockhead of a loyal subject to the emperor refuses to be seduced by wumeiniang. hahaha the way wumeiniang does it also quite cute lah. but he keeps keeping his distance. until this point when wumieniang has to become a nun. then he realises how stupid he has been.

but anyway wumeiniang keeps her hair because i dunno why but haha they kiss in front of this really beautiful mountains and all that very dramatic kiss.

and then.

the emperor finds out they have kind of eloped so very angry. and
more things happen. the then reigning empress of the new emperor plots to harm wumeiniang cause they are just so plain jealous.

im so tired.

anyway a lot of things happened and the show is so political but it helps to fast forward. but its very nice plotted and i think a far cry from history.

but anway it seems that everyone DIES IN THE END. normally i would be super sad and forever label this a bad show. but for some reason it manages to balance up cause i mean in history she is really much worse than how they portray her.

the story skipped a fair bit between when she ascended the throne and like 30 years later. where i think is the bit where history records her cruelty in her killing her sons and that to maintain power.

but the whole story leading to her ascending the throen really uite heartrending and not suprising she changed cause everyone who assisted her all the way thru DIED or disappeared

the characters all very well developed very good stuff. basically yingying betrayed her. killed her mother (albiet accidentally) killed wumeiniang's daughter. and killed her best friend xiaoduo the eunuch. she even carved those words on the stone to cause the emperors both old and new to turn against her.

she had two allies in court. this old and VERY FUNNY guy. who is like the new emperors uncle and highly respected they all call him lao hu li. anyway he assisted her all the way until she became empress. a pretty long journey. he also doubted her abit cause of the stuipd carvings. but eventually come to realise that she would be a much better ruler than the new emperor and whoa he helped her A LOT.

den the day came when he suddenly like had parkinsons' or alzheimers or a cmobination and he couldnt function and it was very sad cause he just had to give up. and he disappeared from the scene. very sad.

fortunately before that he made her go and find his disciple yurenjie. who is even smarter and sharper. so he bcomes her new ally.

ya so in the end. yingying and her had heart to heart talk but obviously what can they say they reminisced about childhoods and stuff. and in the end yingying drank poisoned wine - there were two cups one no poison one got poison. yingying drank both. and she died

anyway in the whole show wumeiniang cried a lot . and aiseh she can really cry ler. not the whining kind but the stare and stare and stare in anger disappointment or shock and the tears just start forming within like 10 seconds.

throughout the whole thing cause she kind of morphed into a cool character unfazed by many things.

and guess whatttttttt.
lijunxian DIES TOO. gargh. he died like twice.
first he faked his death to make wumeiniang forget about him that kind of rubbish. but he still had to protect her because of the million people who are trying to kill her. and duh she found out. so angryyy with him

and then the second time.
apparently lijunxian was some son of some one so he's actually supposed to rule the court. but uh yah being the oh so solid block of a loyal wooden subject he is he couldnt bring himself to do it despite suddenly all the officials and the people shout for him to overhtrow the emperor thats like the climax of the show.
he runs forward and slits his throat.
and wumeiniang is like O_O
thats when she crumbles and really like weeps. but she for many other reasons wept throughout the whole show too.

but ya so see he dies.

and then the then emperor throws up blood. and like faints.

and then uh some narrator comes in and says from then on the empror ill in bed never to rise again and he died.
leaving wumeiniang to ascend the throne.

the end. haha

i somehow got hold of geraldine's songs she calls herself DEAN. and uh she cant really sing but her voice really quite unique haha how ironic.

ayo wumeiniang is a good show man i havent enjoyed such a good show in such a long time. it was good i didnt mention that this was my interest in the interview or they wouldnt be able to control the barrage that wud comeout. woo hoo

hmm i cant open bloger now so ill go thru picasa. doesnt this look kind of poetic and the view the view aone reminds me so much of mugging. this is the area near the past year questions haha

listen to css now haha my tuitionee lent it to me. 3 hours of tuition O_O. anyway thats 60 dollars. not bad i guess.
hahaha ya i think the geraldine's voice really quite. one of a kind. like ella from she. haha woo and the cheesy guy is singing now haha "marry me"

met eric my cousin the doctor. haha. he got featured he and his family at some channel u show so i think. anyway the impression i have of him not very good.

he interviewed med students on tues and thursday last week apparently so he was concerned about me. apparently so sweet. of him he was looknig out for me. anyway he seemed to me. quite lar lr lar lar. im quite glad i didnt get him cause i feel he'd tekan me. my cousin yah- he started talking about the quota on females. and how the system will crack in a few years becauise of that- of course he wasnt talking to me. he was talking to my dad--
anyway yah. he listed a few more reasons but he's qutie a chauvinist it appears to me. like i asked him abt dr choo and the first he was. uh who ah pretty not maybe i'll remember.
okay he was jesting ar but he's actually quite good looking himself. anyway he called her a tai tai and choosy. hahaha i just realised if your surname is choo and yur name initials sy. it will be choosy. hahaha

so anyway i think my dad really wud be happier if he had a boy. hahaha he carried the small boy his son with such amusement.
maybe all dads want to have boys maybe not.

ren came by yesterday and we had a photo feast.
now i just looked back at some and whooa. even random pictures of table tops can just bring yu back to the past the scenarios the pencil boxes, the things yu were carrying, the files, the hairbands.
songs especially are the flashback champions.

i must say the songs are quite nicely sung.

and i wont be going back to work until wednesday! seems like such a long time. means im quite freee until then. hmmmm

church tmrw i shall sleep. haha

ay i totally forgot about driving lesson today. haha too happy with the joy that the interview was over and too obsessed at checking the bbdc web for earlier test dates to notice i had a lesson today. haha

so while i was happily watching this new show im obssessed about - i received an sms. dear friend. yu have just missed a practical lesson at 19:50 hours.

O_O

hahaha i ran aroudn the house oh no-ing and i jumped into the car and my mom drove me to the driving centre. i could have jolly well drove there myself actually. anyway i reached there in 10 minutes so technically i only wasted about 20 minutes.

thats about quite a lot of money but i dun really feel liek counting how much.

and i didint bring my pdl so i could only do things in the circuit. which wasnt so bad after all vertical parking is like so much easier with the full turn return half and full turn again rahte than the double line turn a bit another line turn abit more thing. everyone teachers it differently O_O but ayo whats wrong with aga aga ing everything like just reverse and try again lah. like real cars next time are going to have poles for you to fit in the car- got to revrese and slowly fit. i think i like reversing alot. hahaa

and i dun see the mango trees that ren is talking about.

maybe thats cause i only drive around at night. i shud have day lessons night time seems much easier now cause of the lack of sun and the abundance of flood lights. haha

and the interview today was good. i liked it it was pretty smooth. really really thank God for good questions that were easy to answer and the interviewers dint come down so hard on me.
they somehow loved research a lot and kept asking many questions on it but i think it was partly my fault cause when they asked. "so do yu read any medical publications?"
im like O_O
uh somehow i managed to turn the topic towards clinical trials and then i blabbered on about how i see trials in clinics and so on. and then they start harping on research.
"so did yu read up on any recent medical advancements?"
den im like uh "the bird flu"
blah blah
"is there anything that we shud worry about the bird flu?"
uh the tamiflu drugs the virus mutates gets resistance etc.
"so what shud we do about it?"
O_O
hahaha okae. i honestly didnt know. p

anyway other than that it was smooth more random quetsions like strenghts and weaknesses they didnt ask me the age old why do you want to be a doctor question. fortunately.

den the second one had i think a dr a nurse and a med student.

ah well it is over

today is weewee's birthday haha i bought him a crocodile shirt that cost 15 dollars. haha so cheapo but its a crocodile brand ler i dunno why its so cheap considering all that money they poured in and pinning their adverts everywhere. anyway i think maybe the material's not that wonderful but it looks quite fine to me.

and i shall obssess about this current new show that i like

how can i add pictures in here?

i cant just cut and paste? haha oake nevermind i shall obsses about it another time. its VERy nice! as well as grey's anatomy of course.

hokay. it is two hours before the interview. so it boils down to this 30 minutes of somehow talking to you and gauging you and judging your by their first impressions and the next 29 minutes of impressions. im really scared id stutter or that i'll just fixate.
fixate.
and just give up and not answer the question oh my.

i want to be a doctor i really do. the interview is finally here.

anyway, speaking of lighter things. perhaps i should practice reading out my blog entry so it will easier for me to talk later advisable? haha i dun think so okae nevermind. i heard from joycelyn yesterday that the girls she saw were wearing POWER SUITS. hahaha

and today my dad was just asking my mom if she had any coats to spare to lend me he thought it would impress the people there who will be old and stiff and like pple in coats. i could tell he almost wanted me to wear a tie - he thinks im a boy. - they DO have it easier all they have to do is to choose the colour of the shirt they want to wear and match it with a nice tie.

ok. i shall go and entertain myself. talk to the mirror or sth.

haha no but i don want to leave this place. the ability to just rant on here - its like talking to someone.

im scared lah. as simple as that

okae enuogh i shud go and find some footwear.

its been a long time since i had a 3 am day. night. morning haha
once yu pass the 12 midnight threshold yu suddenly dont feel like sleeping anymore. i dunno how im going to survive tmrw.

i was jolted by how unprepared i am for the medicine stuff. its suddenly so near. like all this time im waiting for some reason i kept doubting the fact that i wud actually receive the interview letter and that was why i was in such a good mood today haha thank God that i did receive it in the end. and now i have 3 days to submit my portfolio. nonetheless i just finished my persona lstatement and squeezed in my cca records in one page. not that there's a lot to squeeze in in the first place but its all the arrangment and details to figure out how much to put in. and now its the vet and revet and part and i dun have a lot of days for that ah and i need to take a decent passport sized photo as well. oh the fine prints. oh dear what is my application number.

okae anyway enough of all that tmrw i'll ask dr sethi to see if her'll write me a recommendation. and thank yu chan for letting me see your personal statement. one course off the ten course meal. haha 9 courses left.

yep today was ren's baptism. ren i think yur testimony was very touching and it drove in how vulnerable we all are. no one is not vulnerable. but by acknowledging yu're vulnerable yu are less vulnerable. the only security we have is when we put our trust totoally in God. but thats of course so much easier said than done. haha mm. i shall go and do my quiet time. and ren your church doesnt usually worship there issit?

it was nice to see friends haha again. my cab fare was 2.50! hahaha when i came in the first person i looked for was johnny. within 5 seconds can see him already haha he's a great landmark. and as i was saying johnny's head shape is nice. very suitable for manchurian sword fighting shows where they have pigtails at the back of their heads. den they swish around and if they want to act really manly they will wind the pigtail aroudn their necks. haha
sometimes i dunno who im addressing. myself or yu all cause i know you all are going to read this but then again its not really to you because you all might not read this or by the time you all do, like by the time johnny does, it will become a fragment of memory. hahaha whatever.

okae! im going to sleep. ben and jerry's was good. and i got a brazil shirt. haha i wonder if dr's will say anything if i wear that shirt and go in to CHAPERONE. hehe

zz.

haha i went for the ncc d and d. on a terrible impulse. i had absolutely no intention of going at all the whole week and yesterday pauline called me say got ticket i think it was actually good that i didnt sit with the rest cause i think its so politicky. i made new friends from bo and mmd and they're nice pple and only 7 at the table so there were tons of food haha and i had two bowls of sharks fin. free free but in the middle the food got quite weird and the show was rather interesting so i just watche the show haha. anyway it was a terrible last minute decision extremely impulsive a what the heck just go man and i a bit regretted when i was going there hahaha but er nothing to lose man awoijfwoiejfwoiejfwoiejfwoiejfwoijefwoiejfowiejf

quite trying to talk on msn. gah.

okae whatever.

Friday, April 07, 2006

i shall blog. i realise i blog when i have no one to talk to.
is that why people blog cause then it feels like you are actually addressing an audience. and cause you bother to type out everything word for word it appears that the audience is very interesteed in every word that you are trying to bring across.
when actually no one is listening. and yu are so sad no friends actually listen to you that yu resort to deluding yourself. myself.

hahaha i shall change my blog url. its so uninspirated.

anyway no one nus nor ntu has replied me. im a bit worried.

i realise im very scared of cockroaches.
haha. just now when i thought i heard a cockroach in the dodgy cupboard at the side of the toilet. like some crawling sound. and then i saw some debris in the bathtub. and i really thought they were like cockroach remains. and then nevermind i just ignore.

and then i SAW IT. hahaha (it.) this black moving blurry thing on my shoulder and i gnawed desperately at it yelping.
absolutely retarded.
my dad outside was like whattts wrong?!
and then i was AYOO.
and i looked at my shoulder and i realised it was my hair. hahaha
silly silly

now it sounds absolutely ridiculous.

anyway today was a HAA day. health assistant's assistant.
ive been clearing case sheets and chopping forms and stapling the whole week. except for yesterday dr choo's day.
john was friendly today so was vk. mustered up the courage to ask vk for a recommendation who then refered me to ej who then referred me back to vk.

i must ask one day how gynae pple examine. i dun understand why they pull the bed back and the two stradle like things.

anyway i heard cg was willing to give me one if i was interested. but hahaha as if jor will let me even if i asked to assist.

nothing much as interesting happened today.

i shall go and change my url.

Thursday, April 06, 2006

haha i typed random day and there was already a post that was called random day. so i had to add an again
today i assisted csp! hahaha i realise im quite a fan of her. she's very cool. the kind of serious serious then suddenly breaks out into agitated moments of absurdity. like today 2 other doctors were looking for her and i was like haha whoa 2 guys looking for yu. den she yaaaa wowww 2 guysss my buuudddiiieeesss my good friends. like sarcasm haha den later on she goes ohhh GIST. very good den she does a mock dance with her hands. hahaha so amusing. den lala comes in a does a i dun have my figure after i gave birth kind of thing and they both start a discussion. (considered remarkable for her even if its an exchange of a few sentences) but uh ya didnt go very far. with lala its usually one sided. hahaha anyway. csp was in tennis haha like jo. woo.

anyway YAH. conclusion. im a fan. haha

aya going for the dnetal thing next week wish i could assist herrr. and not do boring mondays and tuesdays.

i just typed into google kwh's csp's, cg's names and looked at a number of things haha but all so formal and boring.

and i just passed my final theory test.

today i taught an 80 year old woman how to wear a sanitary pad. hahaha but she's a nice woman la haha mm lets not discuss why. she would actually need one now. but it goes to show she's so old she had menopause even before sanitary pads were invented.

and

the suicidal guy! looking for dr dq. cant hear blind in one eye and has poor memory. quite poor thing

and

retarded slippers/heels that were good cause they were SILENT. but horrible cause they were so. dunno. haha

and

im off to bathe and watch the show irented.

and dr choo replied! hahaha i shall go to the labs with her upstairs for look see.

ehh but monday there's the re testimonial match with the j ones. shud i go for the match or shud i go for the lab thing.
