staccato thoughts again

Went to visit Gran this afternoon after lunch. Was there for about 2 hours.

It's the first time I've been to the nursing home. Though I find the living quarters a little cramped, it's quite clean and "sanitised" on the whole. There's a lounge area where a TV was blaring out some Channel 8 drama show.

Spartan furnishings. Though what can you expect? It's not a Holiday Inn for sure.
The whole area's air-conditioned, so that's a good thing. Quite a number of staff nurses around so that's good too. Only thing is that 90% of them are foreigners, either malay or indian or filipino...

They feed the residents there very often. haha...Breakfast is 7-plus in the morning...lunch is at 1130am. Teabreak is at 2pm...Dinner is at 430-5pm...and then supper is at 730pm. Lights off at 8-plus....For those who can't sleep...there's always the TV in the lounge room.

The room Gran is in has 7 other ladies...a good group I should say..there's 2 or 3 of them who are in their 90s too. But extremely sprightly and vivacious for their age...saw some pics of them dancing & singing karaoke during some festive celebrations previously.
Spoke to 2 of them just now and they're really healthy, happy & pretty enthusiastic & active for their age.

French is killing me.
Ever since Shenaz took our class for Beginner term 4, it's been a stressful time every Saturday..

Speaking in rapid-fire french doesn't help. Damn, shouldn't have skipped class last week. Mistake. She touched on a portion of grammar which turned out to be a killer.
Yesterday's class was an absolute blur to me.

The only consolation is that Eric was almost equally blur...haha and he was in class last week.

Am re-writing my CV to give it more meat and a greater "sell"factor.
I think it was last week...sometime mid-week when I made up my mind to re-do my CV...and start looking around again.

Dad called me a "quitter"...but oh well. No point staying on in a place which will not really help me grow...right?

=========
Back aching.
Thighs aching.
Neck aching.

I am regularly late. So is that considered regular or late?
I think being regularly late in my cycle is okay...yeah? hmm mm... hahaa...

Finally got down to using my Lee Hwa vouchers last night..
Am the owner of a new pendant...

To be frank...gosh..don't really enjoy the experience of buying jewellery...
Firstly, I am not one who knows how to appreciate diamonds, white gold, gold..purple gold or what have you.
Secondly, I hate the fact that a salesperson will attach his or herself to you and yak on and on and on...I am a loner and prefer to be left alone.
Thirdly, I don't understand why must a person pay so much $$ for something so small. hahaaa...

Am I a woman? Dunno leh...just don't know how to appreciate.. ahha

But I love my ring lah.. hheheee....=p
