im not sure what i have been doing for the past 1+ week. practically nothing i guess. apart from going shopping and out with am1 and j3ssie, i have been staying at home and watching movies, reading books and surfing the net. now i know why i got myself a job after As. boredom can KILL.
sometimes i wonder how anyone can be so spendthrift as to dine at restaurants whenever they go out. i mean yes restaurant food may be much nicer, with better presentation and ambiance and going there once in a while can be a real treat but to go there almost every time can be a real burden on the pocket man!
my limit so far is prob like $20+/person. things like sush1 tei or se0ul garden etc. its crazy to eat top grade things when our pockets dont really allow it. even if we are rich (or not). its not good to spend like that too man. its alright during the honeymoon period but if this is going to be lifelong, whoaa good luck!
went shopping at far 3ast the other day. saw all the poor boyfriends being bored to death by the girlfriends who seem oblivious to the fact that their boyfriends are bored to death. there was this guy who was carrying a sudoku book along and doing it outside the shop while waiting for her. i think that's really dumb man. in this instance, i think the guy is more like a slave/servant than the boyfriend. after all, he would probably have to carry all her shopping bags after that too. please, carry your own bags unless they are really too heavy/many for you then you SHARE. not dump everything onto him!
but yes, we reached a consensus that we probably wouldn't drag our future boyfriends shopping unless its just for fun and not like really wanting to buy something that takes forever to choose. grocery shopping or shopping with a list in mind is fine i guess. chop chop and be done with it. but then again, i'm not sure if these boyfriends mind it. maybe they don't. haha.

life's full of surprises. even unexpected ones. things that will throw you off your balance. life's too fragile. for all you know, you might die/be killed the next moment. life's dangerous. why am i emoing here?
answer: my uni prof just died unexpectedly. link
some of you might wonder "so what?" but it is a great deal when it is something unexpected. plus it sounded like murder. but even the police doesn't know how he died. i bet he must have said the darnest things with his famous 'sexy' voice. damn it means that i wouldnt be able to count the number of 'actually' that he says! apparently he used to pepper his sentences with it to the extent that people started counting! wanted to do it next sem but i guess there's no more.
he was extremely friendly and entertaining at times. the first time i met him was during commencement dinner and he was the chaplain. he ended dinner with grace and said "may god protect and watch over us as we prepare for rest..." which was ironic considering it was a saturday night and its obvious that most of them weren't going to rest so we all couldnt help but giggle. he was the sort of lecturer who would be really sarcastic and animated as he tried to make ethics really interesting.
despite all his physical disabilities and illnesses, he tried to come to class, even if he had to sit in a wheelchair and not use his walking stick. he picked on students and 'terrorised' them with negative examples. his jokes were filled with sexual innuendos which were hilarious. but i loved the one he did about disabilities and resource allocation. he was trying to pretend to be a disabled baby so he went "waaa.. waa.. waa.. DOWN SYNDROME! waa.. waa.." as compared to "waa.. waa.. National Swimmer! waa.. waa.. waaa..." cant really remember wad he said for the second part but it was hilarious!!
but now he's gone.
just one/two weeks before exams, he came by to jane to help someone with their work so he sat at our table for dinner. j3ss told him that i am one of his students and he started to ask me whether i had studied for t2-5. and obviously i hadnt. unfortunately. but he asked me how do patients express their autonomy and luckily i knew it was through informed consent. then he asked how do you achieve that. so its like telling them what they will be undergoing, covers the procedure, the surgeon etc. christin@'s answer was classic. "ask them?!" hahah and he was like "yes thats's essentially wad you have to do...." HAHAH he gave us tips on the exams and stuff like that but throughout dinner he was really engaging and fun!
but yes he's now gone.
who's going to teach us next semester now? i still remember writing on his SETL that he should revise his slides cos they seems a little outdated. >< like the cases didnt match wad we were doing that week. he was supposed to try and get people in the middle of the LT to participate cos he asked if i sat at the back and i was like no i sit in the middle. its weird isnt it. how life plays such horrid tricks on you.
he was still telling us about how his daughter played truant in school and they had to go down and look for her after the police found her somewhere. he also told us how he has experienced breakthrough pain due to his illnesses. he tells us about his wife and stuff like that. you see him as a person and not a lecturer. someone with real problems and a life. not someone you see once a week for a lecture.
was just sitting at the same table with him on international night too. he was still asking me all about food in singapore and stuff like that. the best part was during the quiz. it was funny how micha3l, his wife and my prof were trying to answer the qns so diligently. the interaction we had among us is probably something you'll never find in singapore. there were no barriers to communication and it really felt like home.
the funniest thing that i can rmb would be an1ta telling him that p@trick went to an adult shop! HAHA that was cos she didnt know that he was the chaplain! damn funny la! my prof was like "p@trick.. i didnt know..." with the smirk on his face. :P p@trick is a postgrad student who was the previous dean of l@w at a msian uni. but it was out of curiosity and not that he needed anything. :)) but yeah we joked about it and laughed it all off.
how would you want people to remember you when you pass away? do you regret not saying anything? he asked me how i found his lessons and i just laughed. its weird. how would you feel if you knew that those lessons were going to be the last that you ever had? how would you feel if you knew that that was going to be your last meal, words, call, email, blog post, car ride, person you see, thoughts?
its scary isnt it? the uncertainty of death. yet its as certain as the sun rising from the east. maybe its better for him to die. i hope he died peacefully. i hope he's up in heaven enjoying a painless eternal life. may you rest in peace sir.

went up to mt wellington! omg it was sooo cold! heard from emm@ that there was snow up there so we rushed up and YES there was snow! aka patches of ice on top. hehe even though it was quite zzz but it was still snow i suppose! cos its not going to snow in hobart unless something freaky happens. considering its supposed to be cold now but its not.
the road up was so long and windy. at some points if u turned around and looked behind the car, you would think that something will just pop out and scare the wits outta you! its like the evil forest in snow white!
reached the top and at first r7an was like "aiyah not cold at all. dont need jacket." next moment you know, he's clammouring into the car reaching for his jacket and because it wasnt warm enough, he kept sitting in the car.. hahah! the view on the way up was splendid! the shots we took didnt do them justice at all so we gave up after a while. the stars were magical man. u wouldnt see that in singapore. they were so bright and clear and it was AWESOME! but it was too cold to linger too long. christin@ and i were alright except for my nose which wasnt covered but the others were a little underdressed. HAHAHA. my cheeks were like damn cold and then when u touch, its like damn smooth cos very cold. :P
the picture of us holding up the 'snow/ice" was really funny. cos sinhu1 and i had gloves but chri5 didnt so he was using his bare hands. and christin@ took a while to take the photo. poor chri5' fingers were going to fall off! its bad enough without gloves. he still had to hold an ice block! HAHAH! after we took the shot he threw the block down and was like "wahlau ehh damn cold la! my fingers....." :))
but yes it was one hell of a great experience! we were saying we'll go up again in july (which is even colder!) and see if there's more snow or wadsoever up there!! yay~!

i think my laptop just died on me! it refuses to turn itself on! which is terribly disgusting considering i need my laptop badly now since i need to access that pathology cd and virtual microscopy! :( i really hope it will wake up by the time i get back to it again.
so now im stuck in the library trying to copy the pathology cd onto a thumbdrive so that it wouldnt be so noisy. i hate how cd-roms are so noisy when they are reading something. and i dont like how it lags and whirls when you load something. argh. irritating. so yes i am being anal bout this but i cant stand laggy things! even worse since my com is now kaputt.
just realised how dependent i am on my laptop. i think w/o it (aka now) i will just shrivel up and die from lack of social activity. just realised how ironic that statement is but surfing facebook, browsing blogs, updating blogs, chatting on msn are actually a social activities themselves. look how times have changed. being overseas before meant long waits for letters and expensive phone calls but now its just msn/facebook/email etc
technology can be such a pain when my laptop dies! ok im just ranting. i am soooo pissed off! i cant believe it can die just like that! it was alright last nite before i packed them into the bag so that i can bring it to the reading room. but to my horror, it didnt turn on! HORRIBLE!!!! argh im at my wits ends man.. luckily i am going back soon. bring that laptop back and see wads wrong with it.. zzz.. kabish!

alrightey! exams officially start tmr at 1pm aussie time. 11am singapore time. NOOO..
actually im really really sick of studying already. cant wait for it to be over then i dont have to touch that mindmap book again.. HAHAHA then can concentrate on ethics, communication and community health for the next two days. yippee!
i really do hope i do well man. after all the studying i have done. zzz. would be damn sad if i dont. but passing will be enough to satisfy me. though getting a distinction/high distinction would really make my day. just hope i dont make stupid careless slap-my-face mistakes can liao. that will be the worst thing that can happen. i rather not know something than get something really easy wrong. i suppose most people are like that?
i should just look through my notes once more before the exam tmr. i'm still not feeling the stress yet. probably will start feeling it once im outside the venue which is the unibar. >< weird place rite? guess utas doesnt really have many BIGBIGBIG places for us to take exams and the unibar is the next best after the activities centre which still isnt very big.
feels really weird to take an exam after i havent taken one in like 1.5yrs. apart from driving which i almost had a nervous breakdown before it. but thats another story. HAHHA. maybe im not stressed because i know i will definitely pass the paper. and after all, all i need to do to graduate with this degree is to pass the papers for the next 5 yrs! isnt that easy? :) yeah boy.. hahah! plus i did well for the two SA MCQs (HD avg) and OSCE so thats like 8% out of my 10%. hope i got full marks for OSCE So that makes it another 5%! or at least a 4-4.5% yay! thats good..
okok shall go study. tmr's the big day! shall sleep early today! YIPPEE~!!! i am actually rather happy. just get it over and done with man. damn sian liao. HAH.
