Strawberry generation is a term coined in Taiwan to designate people born in the 1980s (between 1981 and 1991).
The general perception is that these people, having grown in a protected environment and with economic prosperity, are less able to withstand pressure or to do hard work. The term is linked to the fact that persons from this generation are generally supposed to have grown in a protected environment (e.g. being overprotected by their parents), just as strawberries are grown in greenhouses and command a high price compared to other fruits.

the other day during clinical school posting, Dr Loh called us strawberry boys and girls.. cos he described our generation as being pampered, and that we’re all beautiful and plump people.. that describes a strawberry on the outlook but when you squish it, its all destroyed.. which means that we’re fragile people and we’re not used to hardships.. SOOOO TRUE.. hehe..
then someone asked him how does he describe his generation, he said proudly “mine ah, we cactus loh.. we all very ugly very short but we can stand hard times..”
back in his time, things were much harder, food was scarce and money was limited.. so to all fellow strawberries, be thankful for all that we have.. and for those who made it possible for us *quoted from Dr Loh*
thanks mommy and daddy.. muax!!
There’s two sides to this post.. one super good.. and one very bad..

In loving memory Bobby (1992-2008)
my heart goes out to my cousin who’s doggie just passed away today.. he was 16 years old in human age..
he was the cutest dog (before mine came along.. hehe sorry Glen).. he is my Happy’s big brother..
back when i was smaller and shorter, he always used to get on his hind legs and sort of stand up and greet me.. he would be about my chest height and he will put both his paws in both my palms.. that was one thing i always look forward to when i go back to my grandma’s house..
so to Bobby, you will always be remembered..
p/s writing this post makes me worry about the day when it’ll be my dog’s turn to go..
Triple X-es for the 3 ang kids.. hehe.. two big for my brothers and one small for me.. and since i’m the smallest, i’ve been given the “honour” to sit in the centre.. haha..
anyways, pictures from the new Cute Nikon.. =D
whee.. its finally home.. my cute Nikon..
It has been a bad guppy week..
first on thursday 3rd April, Sir Orange died.. and when i went to change the water for the adult and baby aquarium, one baby fish was so naughty it jumped straight into the sink.. aih.. so i lost TWO on the same day!!
and this morning, barely 5 days later, Sir Red has died.. now Lady Yellow is all alone.. and she seems very depressed and is always lying at the bottom of the tank.. just like Sir Red did before he died.. aih.. i hope i won’t loose another one so fast!!!!!!
all the other 7 babies seems ok.. i hope more babies will be on the way.. hehe..

The Guppy Granny =D
p/s, prom shopping almost complete.. just need a tattoo.. (temporary of course) plus, Nikon S51 is on the way!!!!!!! whee..
- Para-sailing with the beautiful sunset at Batu Ferringhi -
what am i doing here in the library where its freezing cold and boring??
things that i’d rather do:
watch my baby guppies eat, watch them chase each other..
or be at home eating mum’s home cooked food rather than the sucky canteen food..
curled up on the sofa, snug and warm with a STORY book for company instead of mugging.. argh!!
well, who am i to complain.. 44 hours more to pseudo-freedom.. the only light at the end of this short tunnel.. haha!! anyways, all the best to M1/06..
