going to bruny island for retreat! :)) will be back on sunday.. yay its gonna be fun! can't wait to go.. will be leaving soon.. hehe.. so exciting! not sure if we're gonna pick oysters though.. unlimited supply from the beach! hahah! tabasco.. lemon.. mhmm.. :P

its good to study overseas i guess. there's so much more to do here! this entire yr has been amazing.. i've done more things than i would have ever done in singapore.. experienced more emotions than ever before.. its been simply awesome man!

going out to oatlands tmr for rural placement! its gonna be interesting.. just talking to patients and knowing more about the rural place. but considering i would rather use the time to study instead of talking to patients.. i can say its a waste of time.. ><

but i'll just treat it as a break. i think i've been stretched a bit too thin these few weeks with everything's that has been going on.. so yes, it'll be great to just take a break and let me rest my brain, soul, body for a while.. :))

things have been interesting i guess. a bit too interesting though. hahaha full of its drama.. no wonder its hard to stay together and for nothing to happen at all..

its sunday! tmr's the start of rural week! erm 'yay'... haha! im sure it will be fun but sometimes i feel like its a waste of time.

workload this sem is insane. everyone's just dying. hopefully we will catch up by midsem break aka study break. pfft. sad sia. its not like i will fail or wad but its just so much to study!

it snowed!!!

omgomgomg!!

we were having dinner when elvin3 shouted "its snowing!!" then the entire asian table practically disappeared and ran outside! :))

but it only lasted like 3min.. but omg it snowed!! now my hair is wet. hahahah was so cold la.. fun though! hehehe..

Singapore Night was such a wonderful night that i think it probably is the best one SS5 has ever had!! the atmosphere was at such a high that people were actually volunteering themselves and were proactive in participating in the games! :) it was sooo fun man! it was worth all the hard work that we have put in for the past few months.. it was simply AWESOME!

headed down to wr3st point at 10am for preparation. we had our dry runs and rehearsals till about 2+ and we went back to the room to rest. the room was quite nice actually. one queen sized and one single bed. only thing was probably the lighting because it was still quite dark despite us turning all the lights on.. started to get ready at about 5.. which was too late (whats normal) and we had to rush through everything. despite it all, i would say that we all looked fabulous! interestingly, most of my friends couldn't recognise me! grr. maybe because i don't normally dress up that when i do, people realise that i can ACTUALLY look good? HAHAHAH!!!

we were talking about me feeling very hot when we were sleeping (my skin was like 'burning') then va5aant was like "yeah man, you looked hot last night.." HAHA! thanks dude! but yeah it was funny to see all their reactions. the normally tomboy michelle dressing up must have made a few jaws drop. :P

anw the night went well and we stayed up watching spongebob for a while before i really couldnt take it anymore and kinda KO-ed on the bed. this was when jes5 and s1nhui came back from iso and chased the card playing people off the queen sized bed cos i fell asleep on the single bed with chri5 still watching spongebob but about to KO like anytime soon too.

eventually we went to sleep and checked out at 11.. :) went back to jane and slept for a while before lunch and you could tell that all of us were like damn 'seh' la.. haha! but it was good fun i guess.. :))

now that it's sunday night and there's school tmr, i really need to get down to work and finish up some stuff. thankfully i made myself stay awake in the afternoon and finished my integrated practical so that's one thing out of the way! thats the thing that takes the most amount of time to prepare! grr.

ok its 7.12pm. shall do work till about 9.30/10 then sleep and recuperate! tata!

i survived! now for one more day. SINGAPORE NITE! :))

its gonna be a loonnngg day tmr man... gotta be there by 10am to start the preparation. hope everything goes well..

presentation today was great. i think we were prob the most entertaining, if not the second most entertaining presentation. but its because of j3remy who was soo willing to help us even though he wasnt presenting. thanx mate!

so yes, thankfully my laptop is able to blast music since the mic/sound system was down so we could still have our wonderful intro. hehe.

gonna take a short break. want to study but my brain is just sooo drained..

from today onwards till sat, i'll be super bz that i prob will collapse from exhaustion.

tmr will be the longest day of my life man. school starts at 8 and ends at 5+ then i've got SS5 mtg at 8 till Xpm. plus i've gotta prepare my speech for my presentation. thankfully mine's the not so difficult parts of the presentation. like its actually things that i kind of already know. :)

but still i need to practice and familiarise myself with the content. oh man..

why must i have dissection this week.. grr.. life's already so busy.. pfft. i'll survive! jiayou!

my presentation idea is really good (imo) but not sure if the group will agree when we meet tmr. i really do hope they like it! better than the vague idea-less thing we have now. kabish. asians/international students really are different i suppose.

week 4 is about to begin!

ready, get set, CHIONG AR!

so yes. its finally friday again. haha!

just finished my KFP discussion board post, T1 MCQ FA and my integrated practical. feel rather relieved already. so that just leaves me with the revision of my lectures to go!

1. autoimmune and tolerance
2. gram -ve bacteria
3. histology of blood vessels
4. osteoarthritis
5. muscle contraction
6. anatomy of hip, popliteal fossa and leg

cool! already finished histo of cardiac and smooth plus coagulation so thats two down. i love being on the ball man. though sometimes it sucks so badly because things dont go the way they are supposed to go. like im not sure how im going to survive next week man. like all because of sgnit3 next sat that i have many mtgs this coming wk. there's one on sun, prob tues and maybe thurs and fri.. which is like :S but thank god after sgnit3 its probably nothing liao. :) but then... i have like dissection next wk plus presentation which is like insane! so i really have to make full use of my time this weekend and try to cover as much as i can.. cannot afford to be behind! since sat will be GONE and sunday i'll probably be too tired to actually study.. damn.. suddenly i feel like i really need to study because i just realised that i've got FAs the week after again! luckily they are FAs and are probably online so it doesnt really matter that much. if they are SAs i think i'll just kill myself man. of course not literally but just 'DIE' from all the stress first.

feel like sleeping but now i suddenly feel like i should study my tolerance and autoimmune.. spurt of inspiration from nowhere! maybe from the stress im creating for myself. ><

just realised i got highest for both the mcq/emq and the saq sections of the paper.. hahaha

went for cbl today then they were talking about the breakdown. then cas3y was like "there's like someone with like 127+/150!" and chlo3 was "thats like really good!" and i went like "yeah thats me."

jaws dropped.

HAHAHA. it was quite funny. they started congratulating me but i told them i must have done quite badly for the others to get an overall of 78 but they were like "78's still very good!!" hahah but you know, i'm suddenly rather satisfied with my 78 now that i know the 'truth'. :)

one more lecture to go today! then its SSS mtg and probably gym session.. hehe.. and then its back to the books.. anatomy is such a pain! thank goodness i dont have to know the EXACT origin and insertion of the muscles and stuff.. i think i will DIE if i have to. seriously ruth, how do you actually rmb all those stuff?!?!
