In Choson Korea, many Queens widowed early because their husband either died young or they have more than one wives. The couple with the greatest age gap is King Yojo (the 21st king of Choson Dynasty) and his second Queen, Queen Chongsun. In his 66th year, King Yojo married his second Queen who was only 16 then. When Yojo died at the age of 84, Queen Chongsun was only 34. These poor Choson girls have no right to choose but at least they get to be the Mother of the country and enjoyed political power (for some) and the best things in their times. These days (unlike the past where we lived under monarchy rules) we have the freedom to choose. Given a choice, why would someone wants to marry an ah peck who maybe old enough to be her dad (or even older)? Imaging when you are only 40, he’s already turn 60, old enough to be your children’s grandpa! If he’s rich, at least you can enjoy a luxurious life but if he’s poor and feeble, you better wish yourself good luck. Anyway, just now there’s this humorous and nice patient came in. He’s a big size man and has a twin brother. He talks to the doctor about how he and his brother were always mistaken for each other. I’ve seen his brother, a much quiet and bigger size guy. Then the topic turned to why his daughter is only 2 when he has married for 10 years. He replied something like his wife and him were too stressed so once they went to some resort to relax. But the room has nothing, only 4 walls, and there isn’t a toilet, only some basin for you to wash you face. He said, that was not the right atmosphere at all, who would still have to mood to do ‘it’. Nevertheless, after some time his wife was pregnant unintentionally so gave birth to his baby daughter in 2007. While he was talking, I caught every word. Lol don’t he know that I’m outside. The HK lady visited the clinic 3 times this week, on Tuesday, Thursday and today. She finally wore something else or her 2nd and 3rd visit but her clothes were all purple (almost the same shade of purple) in color and the same style, accompanied with jeans!!! When she came in yesterday, I was so surprised and asked if she only wanted to speak to the doctor or consult her. She said she wants to consult the doctor. And today I gave a blank look cuz I was just so amazed that she came everyday. She also noticed it and she smiled and said she only wants to get some medicine. Honestly, she’s a nice lady and I think her hairstyle is nice. Yesterday I received my acceptance letter from NUS bba along with a freshmen guide. Wow they are really efficient consider that I have only submitted my application (and most importantly, paid the registration fees) on the previous Sunday. I was wondering where’s my double degree and papayia told me they will only start to shortlist in April. Since I already secured my place in NUS, its up to me whether I bother to fill in the application for SMU. Their form is very irritating, still have to write essay, as if I bother. Majority of the best and the top students have flown off to UK and US. I believe with my grades (other than law and medicine, for which the second one I’m not qualified because I took neither physics nor bio), I can be accepted into any course I want without filling in any other things (eg other talents and achievements which I don’t think I have any). I think I’m really lucky to have scored well for As (I’m strictly a free-thinker but I’m inclined to believe in traditional Chinese religion like Buddhism, don’t try to influence me with Christianity, I’ll never give my faith to it). The amount of hard work you put it does not matter, I believe it is how well your mind can process at the point of time when you took the paper. I have never put in much effort in gp. I know I’m hopeless and was really giving it up (I had expected a C or D). All I had done is read TIMES (my bedtime story. The only reason I’ve done so is that I found it interesting) and I happened to put in what I had read in the essay I’ve written. That’s pure luck (perhaps with a little effort). I’m totally convinced of the phrase 船到桥头自然直。 Now all the trouble is on writing essay for scholarship application for NUS and NTU (almost the same shitty question). So sick, gues |

She’s one of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen so up close, not on TV, neither in the billboards. She’s the doctor’s friend coming to ask her out for tea (but the doctor is simply too busy for that). The first sight wasn’t something fascinating, but as I took a second look at her, I noticed her exceptional beauty. Considering she’s a woman in her forties, maybe going fifties (cuz she’s the doctor’s friend, so probably around the same age), she must really be a great beauty in her youth days. But not the least does she looks her age, she look somewhat in her thirties! The only things that were imperfect were her teeth (which were not straight) and her dressing sense (she wore a pale light brown shirt dress and a bright, fiery red skinny, I really think that these do not match). I have always believed in destiny and this time my stand becomes even firmer. If I have quitted in early march, I wouldn’t have this encounter with the beauty. While the beauty waits for the doctor, I just can’t help but stare (or rather, peep) at her in awe. As she’s sitting on the sofa that faces the back of the clinic, I could only catch her side view, but it’s equally nice to admire (I believe she’s very rich, not only because of how she carries herself, the doctor also said something like 你赚的更多). Meanwhile, I tried to dispense as fast as possible. 2 new patients came in at this time. I’m so annoyed to register for them cuz they blocked the little window from which I can look outside. I even have forgotten to ask an Indian guy to give his contact number. After reading her book for sometime, because patients were streaming in, the beauty decided to give up waiting for the doctor for tea. As she chats with the doctor, I took opportunity to take some good look at her. This is my probably be my first and only time that I get to see her. Then she asked my for the doctor’s name card. She’s so pretty (and attractive) that my heart almost jumped out of my mouth as she talked and smiled at me. I am finally able to settle down to work seriously when she left. Please let me see her again. I really hope she will visit again soon. Vania commented that I’m having lesbian tendency at work (what’s wrong with it?! Don’t you think that I’ve always been like that?!). Just now I got the chance to ask the doctor for her age. Guess the reply!!! The doctor said: 她啊，年纪很大了，50吧。(omg, are you kidding me! She looks at least 20 years younger in my point of view) 为什么你问？（因为她看起来很年轻）打扮咯。她很漂亮，可是她老公很丑。她老公好像大她20岁。 This is definitely not what I would like to hear. As the saying goes: the truth always hurts. The beauty reminded me of Gigi 黎姿, she also married to this handicapped old man (but bloody rich). Her husband must be really rich too – bloody rich dirty old man. Conclusion: many (if not, most) pretty girls marry ugly rich old man. (do you still wants to be pretty?) Now this hongkong woman came in. I think I’ve mentioned her in one of my previous post. She’s wearing the same thing again! AGAIN! A creased (I don’t really know how to describe) dark purple top plus jeans!!! She’s forever wearing this set when she comes for visit. Haha! Today there’s 20 patients so far. I’m busy like mad (relatively, but am still free to write this and read some novel of mine). Tonight I’m going to give tuition to this sec 4 normal academic kid. I started last week, teaching his combine science and Chinese (what a weird combination). Its easy earn money haha. $200 per month for 4 hours. Imaging I have 5 students, I can earn 1k per month just by working 10 hours per week. Thus I strongly believe that as you go up the chain, (from tertiary to quinery for my case), you salary grows. |

i went for nus open house today and managed to get a lot of goodies, include a cup and some not books from the faculties and the various halls. even though i'm not interested to stay in the hall at all (unless i can get a scholarship which pays for my hostel fees, then i can keep a place in the hall without living in it.), i have to say i'm interested so that i can get goodies!!! i'm convinced that i'm not going to do law, not trying it at all. the student at the booth tells me law is all about essays! ESSAYs! NO! so i just applied for business in ntu and nus. ntu offers a better double degree in business plus they have tourism course so i'm quite inclined to go ntu. but ultimately, it depends on who's going to give me a scholarship. smu application is so tedious. they suck! requiring essay! what the hell, even ntu and nus don't. and the page timed out after 20 min so i have to start all over again. zzz... i'm going to do it another day. the best scholarship application experience come from RSN, they don't even require an essay!!!! that's fabulous! anyway, this week the doctor asked me to produce one bottle of capsules. just look at it, such a huge bottle. how did i even do that?! such tedious work. the worst thing was, the powder stinks. it supposed to cure headaches, but inhaling it gave me headache. Gross. i couldn't get rid of the smell even after i bath and my hands seemed to smell of it ever since. i hope that portion is enough to last for the next 2 and half months. i will never want to do it again.  on wed, i watched my bloody valentines, the 3d version at vivo with ailin. oh man its the most gory movie i've ever seen. so bloody and gross! and the killer loves to aim at people's face, particularly you eyes. the first person who was murder died when he was hacked from the back and the hammer-like weapon went through his skull and pushed out his eyeball. damn repulsive! eewww.... it shouldn't be rated as m18 but r21. |
