im trying not to explode because of 'bonia' aka h@ndbag
ok enough ranting. she just pisses the hell outta me.
was really tired today. took a short nap at 5.30 and almost missed dinner! woke up at 6.20 and wondered why christin@ didnt call me.. anw i woke up and was about to open my door when christin@ knocked on my door! she was like "you're here ar???? i was wondering where did you go? i called you like umpteen times and no one answered.. knocked on your door and you didnt reply.." im like "HUH REALLY AR!" oh well *hugs* she thought i was with ashl3y before davin@ was like "ashl3y's taking the 6.10 bus..." so my dear christina came up to my room again even after she took her food!!! :)) <3 she's so sweet la! thought i fainted or sth.. HAHA! but yeah..
had microbio pract today! omg my hands are so filthy la! we had that UVA lamp thing with the showntell cream.. >< *faints* im never eating with my hand again! (ya rite. i just ate biscuits.) we took throat and nasal swaps and plated them onto BA plates. btw christin@'s tonsils are like "HUH WHERE ARE THEY???" and her mouth cannot open big one.. :S a bit difficult to take sample but apparently mine are like big and easy to swap. hehe.. was wondering..what will you do if you had to take NPA but that poor bloke's nose is full of stuff???? EWW.. >< isnt it kinda gross? like "erm could you go to the toilet to empty/dig your nose first? i cant exactly see properly.." HAHAHAH!!
so then we did gram staining as well! stained S. aureus! so niceeee! though personally i think E. coli was much more fun and pretty cos it was gram -ve and bacilli so they were like pink rods! as compared to my purple spheres. hahaha.. but oil immersion is so cool! like during patho practs 100x is like SHIT and impossible to see anything but with oil.. WHOAAAAA so clear! nice man.. :) i like microbio practs.. and we were supposed to take a midstream urine sample to practice at home but i just koped the container and now its sitting on my shelf. hahaha so mafan la to take a proper one. clean this clean that etc. im sure people actually do that. just pee and collect! so easy.. hahah!
its really irritating. like she was the one who wanted to cheong everything cos portfolio's due tmr and we have to put in our stuff..
then she's the one who sends her stuff late and summore can tell me that its hard to sit down and do work.. nvm then she sent me her references but she forgot to attach them.. so i sent out the previous copy w/o hers first in case i didnt get them in time..
she called me and then i told her that i didnt receive so she sent again.. then i put them in and sent out the final one.. then she HAD to send her references to everyone and say things like "you all can put them in or wadeva.."
then she decided to put them in HERSELF and email everyone like she did all the work when i ALREADY sent out the final presentation.. which will be the same as what she has!
basically she just made it sound as if i didnt want to put her refs in. >< wadeva. who cares. i put them in and if u insist on sending them out to everyone again... by all means do that.. after all YOU were the one who missed the deadline and said that its cos it was hard to actually do work.. YOU were the one who forgot to attach the stuff and make me actually still worry about blardy presentation when i should be able to study instead!ok enough ranting. she just pisses the hell outta me.

rugby finals are today! i might just go down for the guys match cos its at 2 and i kinda want lunch (girls are at 11) and i can get some studying done in between. :) its hilarious how people think im mad cos im making mindmaps and while my mind maps just give them a headache! HAHAHA! duh.. cos you wont understand what is it all about and its like a secret indecipherable code! :P cannot kope my notes too! aww.. haha but of cos im not as bad as maybelle as mentioned before since she really studies all day! last week at the semis she was apparently listening to electures on her mp3! 0.o seriously. did anything go in?? and she studies till like 4am and wakes up at 8? siao ar! no wonder she's starting to burn out. ><
watched lust caution on friday with christin@ and s1nhui in my room. some scenes were rather disturbing but it was drop dead funny when sh@mini knocked and asked if we were alright cos she heard people in pain, screaming and laughter all at the same time! :P HAHAH!!! but yeah overall nice movie. but haiya why not wang l33hom!! grr..
kk shall go back to my cell death notes. then im done with week 6 and can move on to week 7! yeah yeah yeah! more than halfway through the semester's notes within 5 days! :)

just realised i havent really blogged properly ever since i got here. life just seems too monotonous to be interesting enough to blog about.
hmm actually to be honest. there's too much going around. its like we're starting to hear things about people and stuff like that which isn't always very nice. i don't really want to bother about those things cos they aren't directly affecting me since i don't really have much contact with them so thats cool. people have their own opinions on things and we just have to listen but we dont have to agree with it.
school's slowing down. thank god for it. i need all the spare time possible to actually grasp skin tumours, neoplasia, skin infections, molecular basis of cancer, chronic/acute inflammation, healing etc. all the horrible things that they dont really go through properly. my wall is starting to be filled up with notes. i might make mindmaps after i'm done with these. even shorter summary. HAHA. reading immunology textbook now. i'm up to chapter nine and i need to read till chap 10! :) so i'm quite proud of myself. its more to clarify the doubts i have about CD4/CD8 activation and B cell receptors etc. yeah people have been telling me different things but so i dont know who to believe anymore. shall just read it for myself and see how things go. :)
decided that i actually like studying a lot. its all about your individual effort and how well you want to do for the exams but sometimes i feel that i have expectations that are too high for my own good. its like whenever i get dictinction, i feel sad? unless i really didnt even expect to get a distinction (aka t2-4 formative saq). its like people will kill to be me sometimes with all my high distinctions and stuff like that but i feel like i let myself down? i guess its good that i didn't get a high d this time round but only like 77% (1 mark away from high d!) so that i will be spurred on to study harder to make up for it! i know it sounds really mad but thats how things are right now. i wanna be the best amongs the 3-5 of us and i know that it is possible! i've done it before and i want to do it again. at least for first semester since it's the easiest.
i just hope i dont go mental because of this shit. i know i'll prob graduate with a medical degree without much difficulty but its the not getting a good grade that is stressing me out. although all i need to do to get this degree would be to pass everything. even if its just barely passing, i passed. so why am i stressing myself out like that? maybe im obsessed with grades and should just stop comparing marks with other people. the aussies are taking life really easily and they are enjoying themselves at rugby games etc. if there's netball next sem, i dont mind playing i guess.. maybe i need to balance out my time. get some exercise and do something for college AND still do well in my degree. do you think thats possible? i'll just have to wait and see. dont want to fail second semester. BADBADBAD. but there'll be anatomy and stuff which is a hell lotta shit so there might not be time as well.
international night was a blast. photos are on facebook.

and argh im so putting on weight here! this is despite going to the gym. HAHAH. we were saying that 80% of the international students here have like unigym membership! :S cos we're all growing fat with the food we're eating! i think even if i eat char kway teow etc when i get back i think i might still lose weight just because i'm eating less. maybe cos its colder that you get a better appetite? HAHA. but seriously, its almost impossible to lose weight/maintain unless you are really looking at what you're eating. the staples are like chips/wedges/potatoes and the vege you get are like brocolli, carrots, cauliflower, french beans. meats are beef, chicken, lamb. and most of the stuff are either fried or stewed in yummy sauce (normally with a layer of pastry over it) so ya! howhowhow!
tonight's dinner was like beef steak, nut crusted chicken breast, potato croquette, beef stew, noodle salad. thats wad i ate.
lunch was sandwich with potato salad plus one banana and pear
breakfast was two egg whites, oats, one orange.
had like muesli bar as snack. ><
wow thats A LOT OF FOOD. and you wonder why i grow fat. breakfast is standard. either oast or cornflakes with the whites and orange. add a slice of bread on weekends and its half-boiled eggs instead. :) yummy!
haiya!!!!! shall stop moping about my horrible weight and go back to my lovely t cells. yay! ><

pasar malam tmr! :)
we're selling char kway teow, fishballs, satay, cup corn, muah chee, bandung, roti prata etc..
hopefully business will be good so that we can get money for singapore night in august! this yr's sponsorship is rather pathetic i think. we NEED money!!! :(
presentation's tmr! it BETTER be good man! haha after all the effort i've put into it.. grr.. sometimes i realise that being asian just means that we think differently and we've got different priorities. its something i've gotta come to terms with soon or else i'll just go off someday.
有些人为了购物，宁愿不去访问医疗人员而去买三件外套！
