Had a great birthday weekend! Troy was here, we hit the beach and he even convinced me to swim in the ocean. ;) He couldn't believe that I've never done that before, having grown up in Singapore, but uhhhh the water's diiiiiiiiiiirty and I don't want it in my hair!! But well, I figure I have to try it sometime and I may as well be adventurous on my birthday. ;) Then we went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner, which is my favorite pizza place EVER. Even better than Chicago deep dish pizza, in my opinion, but that could be cos I'm not a big cheese fan.
This morning... I woke up with a lump on my jaw that hurt when touched. And my cheek was all puffy too, soooo I freaked out thinking I had mumps or strep or a tumor. Since I don't have a PCP here in San Diego, I ended up calling Sharp Hospital for a referral to a doctor.. BUT it was 8:30 and they weren't open yet so I ended up going to Urgent Care. Turns out my lymph node is infected and there's nothing I can do except let the virus run its course, which could be a couple of days. Anyway I am totally delighted cos the doctor gave me 2 days off work, plus the visit was totally FREE - WOWWW!!! No co-pay even? Soooooooo I guess healthcare in the US is not as screwed up as everyone makes it out to be (although its probably just because I don't have any serious medical conditions). Works for me so far. :P

Hello June!
Hi Friends! Have not updated in a while... My poor neglected blog. I am (almost) 26!!! EEKS! Can you believe that?? It didn't feel too long ago that I updated this blog about my 25th birthday. :P
Anyway, life is busy busy busy busy. Yesterday I was at the hospital from 9-7:30, working nonstop. Seriously, patient after patient after patient. And the waiting list in moooonths long. And we have patients driving from 4 hours away because they think Rady's has the best services around. And they pay $120 per hour, which then makes me feel guilty because I don't know if I gave them their $120 worth. :P
I can't wait to get a job and get paid!!! This summer has been really rough since I don't have income and am living on savings and San Diego is sooo expensive to live in. And I got a $47 parking ticket on Friday because I didn't rotate my tires when I parked on a hill (Gee how was I supposed to know that???), AND I washed my cell phone in the washer yesterday!!!! Its actually kinda funny. But well, I figure its a sign that I should cancel my T-mobile line (I am really NOT happy with them, although the customer service guy I talked to was really nice and went NOOOOOOOOOO when I told him I wanted to cancel. ;)). Am going to switch to Verizon since that's what Troy has and I use 95% of my minutes and messages with him anyway so I may as well get it free since there's free Verizon-to-Verizon usage.
Ok gotta go. Bye!
