Fieldwork, babies & a nice surprise!

Hello all!
there seems to be a blogging lull here so I shall just write an entry since I got nothing to do. firstly, a big hello to shoe in france! if not drooling over boys, then over what? food?

well, speaking of drool, we (tt is to say, me harti & huilin) have been chasing HOs for their saliva these past few days. (it's an extension of our survey on burnout among HOs, to measure IgA & cortisol levels in saliva & see if it correlates w level of stress, sth like that). anyway i was at kk w kenneth & kok wei. aside from persuading reluctant HOs to layan us, we had a great time smushing our faces against the nursery window at the maternity wards & ogling neonates. i dint know guys could be such baby watchers! but how can one not go "sooo cute!!" at e tiny lil red faced creatures...kok wei had a blast congratulating new parents...e 3 of us even had a nice chat with a proud new father! then later on, we went down to the delivery suite & hung arnd waiting for a HO who was helping with a delivery. from outside, can already hear the midwife saying "1,2,3 PUSH!" followed by "Poor effort!" hahaha so fierce...then suddenly, we heard the cries of the newborn baby...& there u haf it, a new human being was welcomed into e world... cool right?

anyway, just wanted to tell u guys abt who we met at kk kopitiam...guess who??? 3J's 1st 3 mths form teacher (lectured bio)....ms. wee mui ling aka Xena the warrior princess! remember her? she who married a frenchman and moved to e french countryside? nice surprise right! e best part was all of us there were taught by her at rj, incl victor tak who was also there, & she remembers everybody! she was at kk for a check-up, expecting her 2nd child now...apparently she shuttles between s'pore, lyon & shanghai (husband's business) & doesnt really live in france permanently.

so we had a really great lunch with her, gossiping abt rj teachers like a certain bio slacker teacher who was given an eng name to match his surname (who btw, is now teaching my sis, & she complains abt him all e time) & lots of other stuff. she also showed us a foto of her 4 y/o daughter, who is soo pretty. mixed kids are all so adorable! siti go find someone exotic lah…

yup so thats my story for my part of e fieldwork. wonder how was urs, harti & hui lin! & hamid, pls tell us more abt ur lovely bonding experience with ur chp partner! heard fr kenneth, who heard fr teng hwee tt ur prof made all of u go back again to knock on doors?

see u guys!

love, adila
