so this marks the end of easter break. this also means that there will be no more holiday till the end of semester. which is DAMN SAD LA!

oh well but this week was quite fun i guess. managed to get some studying done which is very good. made notes for connective tissue and the 'useless' theme 2-5 stuff.. >< which are like universal healthcare, ethics blah blah..

two slack days of school then its the weekend again! :) so looking forward to it.. hahah.. its getting a bit cooler now (i think) plus its been raining (i HATE it) so its extra chilly today. was warm yest and the day before.. like 24.. then today's like 15.. tmr's 15 as well i think.. lowest is like 5.. hahha 'shiok' sia..

so happy that i got 80% for my first formative assessment.. could have been 90% if it wasn't for careless mistakes but yeah.. it was nice to see that i can actually achieve high distinction, albeit just scraping pass the mark for it.. :) next up would be theme 5 formative on 8/4 which is basically searching for info using the library's network (which is a serious waste of time considering how savvy singaporeans already are..) and then theme 1 applied exam formative with them 2-5 SAQ formative on 11/4 so there are quite a number of stuff coming right up.. need to study man.. even though sem 1 is supposed to be easy but i wanna do well for it.. sounds damn kiasu but ya.. thats me.. :) i paid too much to come over so i better do well.. muahaha.. heck what people say about us mugging in week 4.. seriously i would hope that my doctor actually studied and not somehow or another make his/her way through med school..

oh ya. we had steamboat today! so happy ok.. :) went to woolies and wing n co.. :) i bought grapes(3.85/kg cheapest alr.. ><) and clothes softener for myself (since emily had a car) and we had fishball, fish, fish cake, straw mushroom, button mushrooms, prawns, bakchoy, chinese cabbage, rice, beehon etc.. tomyam base.. sedap! :) best thing that has happened so far man.. we really couldnt eat anymore.. luckily we had that.. dinner was quite bad.. like chicken cutlet/schnitzel, bbq sauce pork, brocolli, carrots, cauliflower etc.. zzz.. almost puked when i smelt the oil after walking out of sham's room..

ok should go back to my books.. haha.. byebye!

was looking at jessie's blog and it made me realise how i havent really kept in contact with the singaporeans peeps because of the time difference plus i sleep rather early here like at 10+ maybe 11? which is about 7+ 8 in singapore. who goes online at that time?! :( unfortunately not the people i wanna talk to..

thanks jessie for that little entry dedicated to me. it touched me really deeply and made me realise just how much i miss you guys.. the outings and eating + talking/gossiping sessions etc.. just being to be myself with you guys.. :) those were the best days..

things here are too expensive to really do much. my favourite hangout is like chickenfeed which is something like those lelong shops you see at heartland/hdbs.. then supr3 is not bad with the cheap stuff that go for like $3-5.. target is only good for sales.. the cinema is madness.. $11 for concession.. $10.50 if you buy in school.. which is sooo expensive la! so that's one entertainment down. no kbox here. ice skating is somewhere but i havent figured out where that is. bowling is outta hobart which is sad.

one thing i wanan do is to go for the 1 storey high slide near jane.. at fitzroy garden!!! :) vasaant says its good! really steep and fast. best part is there's a fence at the end of it. reason being there's a river after that!! ><

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENBEN! JIEJIE LOVES YOU! STUDY HARD OK? :)

its the end of week 3! :)

i think i can survive medical school. hasn't been too bad. just need to revise this week's stuff and i'm all set for the mcq FA on tues! :) quite cool huh? today and tmr's med camp and obviously i'm not there since its just more drinking and probably more sex? >< wadeva..

going to mt field on thurs and friday! so cool! heard its one of the harder trails they've gone on before but the view would be spectacular. we'll get to see russell falls and a whole lot of other falls on the second day before we head back to hobart. :) very cool rite? the only thing would be getting to TUU by 5.45am.. with all the barang barang.. great.. HAHAHA..

bought my sleeping bag today. we all bought the same one! -5/-10 deg.. 79.95.. stupid kathm@ndu was having their easter sale that wasn't very sale-ish. the normaly 5-10 deg ones were already like 60-70.. :S madness.. went over to jolly swagm@n to buy the sleeping bags in the end. ate indian food for lunch. had naan with some beef curry. yumm.. its like the first spicy thing that has actually tinkled my taste buds since i arrived! so it was quite good.. its the one on the corner after chickenfeed.. :)

we had dwi-ght for tutorial on wednesday and i think he's actually better as a tutor than a lecturer! i love him as a tutor.. oh and we had a fire drill during that tutorial so we all had to evacuate and stand in the middle of the road (well almost) while they checked.. i think if there's a real fire, we'll probably either be burnt since we were still rather near or we'll be killed by the cars coming by.. HAHAH.. at least the life science people have that patch of grass nearby to assembly.. the chemistry people had their after ours and it was hilarious watching people in labcoats hanging around outside the building while everyone else looked on because it was like on the main main campus.. our blocks are a little isolated up on the hill so no one will see us there..

tonight's 70s/80s and most of them are out at hal0 having the time of their life. seriously, they drink TOO much. like they already started partying at 5pm (which is b4 dinner) and then they are heading out for that party. i paid too much to screw up and waste my time so here i am blogging and actually making notes with the help of OneNot3! :) i didn't know i had it in my computer so i'm super excited now that i realised that i have it! cool stuff man..

monday's a holiday! yay! but i'm going to be reflective and write my reflective piece on "what health means to you" ><

its lunchtime and i'm going to eat soon. yumyum!

got new curtains on friday. they're peachy in colour!! better than the horrible thin torn ones i had before. today's rather hot. 28 deg. i cant believe i'm ever going to say that. that 28 is HOT. :) but yeah it is. thank god my curtains are thermal lined so i don't get the sun in my room so its cool in my nice cosy room.. hehe!

there's swing dancing and karate self defence later in the afternoon.. shall go for them (not sure about the karate though) but shall return to my books after that. finished retyping my case question answers and i shall read proteins carbo and lipids later. her notes are so all over the place i cannot stand it! i want my biochem tb.. :) that way i can pass.. hahahaha!

ok shall go for lunch now. ciao~!

remember my rant about having to pay for the fir5t aid course?? apparently i don't have to now! because they are paying for all intl students! :) yay! i'm so happy.. hahah!

yesterday was really cold. as we got off the shuttle bus, we realised that we were breathing out mist! so we kept going "HHAAAAAHHH" and it was really fun despite the cold. hehehhe. and for a moment i thought i was growing fat then i realised its not. its just cos i needed to shit. distended abdomen. ok that was GROSS. ><

but anyway, we're going down for the singapore student's society's bbq welcome thing at king's beach later for lunch. sal3h's cooking chicken rice so that's something to look forward to! there's some girl's high t3a at jane in the afternoon but i dont think i'll be able to make it back on time for it so i shall just forgo it. probably just eat talk blah blah as usual. tonight's med welcome but i haven't decided if i should just go for it for a while and come back with the others later. if i go means i'll just have to sign up for the med student's union and then i'll get to go in. nah i think i'll just stay back and read my tb and prepare for next week + first aid tmr. it's probably going to be a waste of time. drink drink drink talk drink drink drink. the room is bloody small too. i wonder how they are going to fit everyone in there. oh well. squish squash splat.

shall go bathe now. gotta get ready to go for the bbq. till next time.. take care everyone! :)
