argh! gobble gobble!

oooooo! SHIOOOKK!

elvin3 + sabrin@

look at the scallops! garlic butter scallops. freshly grilled.. with fresh tasmanian oysters + lemon and tabasco sauce.. ;) its the life..

at coles bay. love the rock formations!

now that's coles bay. on the way to wineglass bay..

some cave. bam bam!

wineglass bay.. lovely lovely blue waters..

bush walking! tiring but i think its still better than BTNR because of the weather.

picnic by the beach.. dont you wish you were me right now? ;)

chr1stina + me. can't stop gushing about the water!

err. no comments.

erm erm erm.

eh. compulsory jumping shots ahead.

look at me jump!

half dead on the way back up from the beach. i swear i've never felt my quadricep muscles feel this tired since easter camp! i think my rectus femoris is rather developed right now.

at the lighthouse lookout. overlooks carp bay (in other photos). we're probably at cape tourville. ;)

at the lighthouse itself. look at our cui looks. hahaha! picture worth a thousand words.

sunset on the way back. the photo does not really do justice to it but i guess its already rather spectacular.

at the lighthouse lookout.

without me.

pristine white sands with freezing cold clear blue waters. breath-taking.

us on the beach. the sand isnt that fantastic near where we were but it was soo soft near the water!

ok me again. ><

lunch! insane amounts of food. soba, bread, ham, cheese, egg, silverside, naan, biscuits, caesar salads, roast chicken shreds, hummus, salsa dip etc. :) yummy!

our lovely yummy caesar salad! :)

wineglass bay. awesome isnt it?

darr3n and i!

us 4 girls minus sabrin@. not sure why too. but yeah my head just happens to block the bay! dammit! hahahhaha.. oh well.. :P

and im soo tired man.. i'll tell you all about it maybe tmr. :) for now.. its time to hit the bed!!! zzz... so tired.. so unfit man! haha! been out for over 12h.. *snores*

tmr is my last paper! omg its gonna be awesome! can't wait for tmr to come and be over! its the day i've been looking forward to since swot vac started. hopefully i will do well so that i wouldnt be upset after it.

its been a long long week. cant wait to go home. actually its been a long year. well not really because it seemed like it went by in a flash. but still. especially second semester. i have absolutely no idea where the time went. first semester seemed more.. happening i guess. second semester was just birthdays after birthdays after birthdays. and that was about it.

though i didnt go for the last two. yup.

ok better head back to the books. shall update soon after the exam!!! =D 30min to dinner. better get some more work done!

these two cost me $5 each from jayjay.

these two cost me $7.50 each from crossroads.

how shiok man! but its only because they're on sale. :( if not its much more expensive. and i'm quite happy that i went shopping today. i realised i need the retail therapy. and i need to lose weight. >< seriously. though this semester probably wasnt as bad as last semester but still, the food (despite trying hard to eat less!) is super oily, disgusting at times and sure-fire way of putting on weight. the desserts are probably the saving grace most of the time. sticky date pudding, ice cream, custard, poppyseed cake, cookies, carrot cake, fruit salad etc. not all at once of course. but still! yummy..

im so tired now. shopped for 5 hours straight. no joke. my legs are breaking..
sushi, chickenfeed, supre, body shop, myer, sportsgirl, jean west, a few others, crossroads, jayjay, cotton on, priceline, kfc!

*snores*

tmr's november! time really flies. probably heading to town tmr. not sure.. we'll see how it goes. :)

two down. one to go. t1 paper was like 30pg long! first 50 qns were mcq/emq.. emq wasnt that bad this time around. it was do-able. they gave us 10 cases and we had to match the diagnosis to it. yup! it was rather exciting to be able to 'diagnose' our two-liner cases. osteomyelitis, osteoarthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, osteochondroma, osteoid osteoma, septic arthritis etc.

i'll definitely pass the exam for sure. apparently ban7a is looking at sup paper dates according to j3ss. j3ss said she told her yest at dinner after the paper. whoops!

one more practical to go! and im in the second half which means that i'll have more time to study but it also means that chri5tina and 3lvine will end first!!!! bleahhhh at least this time we arent flying off the next day so we dont need to go shopping immediately after the paper unlike 1st semester.

speaking of which, i kinda need to arrange for transport to the airport. unless i can get mark to send me there. shall check my ticket and ask. but there's still the coming back. hmm. airporter? then drag across to jane.. scared the wheels break nia. southern airport? hahahah! or should i ask mark again? we'll see what happens.... :)

my fuse. dont make me angry or the fuse will burn and i'll explode!

and there's only supposed to be one. not three! HAHAHA!




PS. just realised this is my 401st post. i've definitely come a long way with this blog ever since i moved from the old one. it's really amazing. :)

just finished 07 paper and formative. finished 06 paper yest.

i think im ready... i think.. i'll definitely pass for sure.. so i shouldnt be worrying at all! :) to say the least. but no one wants to just pass. ok maybe some people ARE aiming just to pass. but thats besides the point. credit/distinction/high distinction would be better than just a pass. thats definite! haha..

ok i kinda need to do laundry. running out of stuff liao. shall do it tmr after my paper.. heheh.. time's just flying by.. before i know it, i'll be home! whee~!

its farking hot today!

29 deg!!! omg im dying la.....

at least if im in singapore there'll be aircon!!!!!! here.. dont even have fan.. kns.. need to seek cooler places to study or else im just gonna melt before my next exam.. disappear.. evaporate.. hahaha! i need to condense!

ok that was soo rubbish!

one down. two to go! today's paper wasn't as bad as i thought it would be though there were a few qns that made me think "did you really have to ask that? was there nothing else to ask? if so, dont ask anything!" i mean which person could think of a 10m answer for "w3lcome to country" and how you would implement it?? seriously. those two slides were prob the ones i skipped over and read ONLY because it sounded interesting but not examinable. but i guess i managed to crap something out la. hehe..

the heat is awful... really really really awful.. :(

studying makes you go mad.

and bad.

or rather try to be.

:)

listening to music right now. the mood is just wrong. morning with the sunlight coming in. warmth. notes in front of me. somehow something is missing. maybe its just that it's been a long time. its been too long.

the weather's getting too hot for my liking. i hate it. i just want to curl up in my sheets and sleep. but now its so warm i cant even sleep at night.

exams start tmr. t2-5. it'll be alright i guess. shouldn't be too horrible. and its only 15% anw. so its not so bad. even if i do screw up, the percentage wouldnt be that disgusting. i just need to pass this paper. cannot fail! it will be such a horrible thing to fail this paper. not that i will right! :)

its 9.40am. i need to focus. my notes beckon and yet im not heeding its calls. its just a maelstrom of colours. maybe i will only function at 10am. >< what a waste of 20min though. dammit.

oh well. i'll just try to finish up the last two pages of this book before going on to the next book. skipping all the anatomy for now. i'll do it later. its so dryyyy.. just like my bak kwa cadaver.

i want the exams to come so that i dont have to study anymore. but i dont want exams to come because i want to study somemore.

ironic isnt it?

i hate this lack of motivation. its as if there's not much worth studying for. no matter how much you study, somehow something is going to be forgotten. nothing much is retained in the brain. when i read my notes, things make sense but when i dont look at my notes, i forget things. looks like i need to read it once more and then test myself by trying to type out 'summary tables' to test myself. for now i'm trying to do it for pathology. makes things much clearer actually which i really like. allows me to compare the various diseases across the board. might do another one for microbiology, histology etc. can't really do much for anatomy at the moment i think. same for physiology. its just facts. like sequences. serial processing. i need everything i learnt to be consolidated right now. i need something solid and concise. although my mindmaps are blardy concise already. whole semester's work into 1+ book. not bad already i must say.

its friday already. swotvac has zoomed by this time around. thank god that t2-5 is first so that means that i have about 1 more week before my ACTUAL paper. why actual? because i know how important t2-5 is. 15%. pfft. read through the notes twice. might just read stats again on sunday or something. sleep early and be ready to bullcrap on monday! YAY! thats the plan. yup! then come back and intensive mugging for thursday and tuesday. same sutff, different way of testing. :) so at least i still have the info fresh in my head, unlike last semester. almost 1 week apart!

ok i shall head back to my books. i really really really need to glue myself to my chair, prop my head up, get rid of everything else and STUDY HARD!

hmm. i've got this chai por taste in my mouth. weird weird weird. though i did have sweet and sour chicken for dinner but that still doesnt explain the taste. not that i'm complaining. i LOVE chai por! especially with eggs.. mmhmm.. :)

3 more weeks!!!

well today will be spent reading ALL the t2-5 stuff. then i will read the remaining 3 chaps. and then i dunno if i want to go for the mtg tonight. although i alr said im going cos i think i'd rather study leh. a5hley isnt going too so its like HMM.

anw lunch today will be bbq lunch! cos its a public holiday (wow how great during swot vac. wad a difference) and after im done with the above stuff, i'll look through past qns, learning objectives etc and prob revise wadeva seems to be more impt at the moment. things im still not that familiar with. :)

i do hope this will all turn out alright. i mean i've studied quite a lot so yes! it better pay off man! though all i need to do is pass.. but passing alone is so depressing. at least a credit alright? :)

anw lunch time! whee~!

well as you can see.. i'm quite ahead of schedule.. lets keep it this way and see how many rounds i can get through this sem! :) last sem was 4 rounds.. haha! i'll be happy if i can get 3 cos there's so much more to study this semester..

and i should also start looking at the past yr papers and do them probably after my 2nd round? depends i guess.. might have to look at the t2-5 lot first.. :(

and if im gonna go for every available meal.. i'll be eating every 3hr! how >< is that?!

9am, 12pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm.

HAHA! shiok? afternoon tea + supper.. hehehe.. grow fat period = swotvac! no exercise, just sit and study + eat so much. die liao. HAHA. control control.. :P somehow the food during swotvac seems to be much better than normal. had grilled chicken + lamb today. yummy.. hehe..

okok shall go sleep le.. today has been a xiong day.. haha! yay tmr will be a brand new start! SMILE~!

thats probably all that i've done this sem.. hopefully i havent left anything out.. >< HAHAH!

so its already midweek of week 12. just finished my KFP report minus the genogram. i've got the general idea of the genogram already.. just need the names and ages.. :) i hate how all these assignments seem to repeat themselves. everything that i've got to write in it seems to have been touched on when i post my discussion topics in the forum.

doing antivirals right now.. i need to work faster.. well at least i dont have assignments left but i've still got the portfolio to put together.. not even sure what we are supposed to put into it.. they have been really unclear this semester man.. ><

dont you love how you can do so much when there's no school?? school just seems to take up so much time. like if you could just stay in your room and study on your own using the notes + tb.. hahah though being in lect just means that you arent distracted by the computer etc.. :P though i guess there are other things to do in lect as well.. zz.. hahah! shall try to finish more work before dinner so that i can feel really productive and that will make my day! yupyup! i love the feeling of cancelling things off my to-do list.. its just so shiok.. though sometimes when the entire whiteboard is filled up with things.. i dunno where to start! :( but slowly slowly.. i'll get there.. YUP!

I hang up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility
that you would ever feel the same way
About me
It's just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush aint goin away, goin away

Has it ever cross you mind
When were hangin, spending time girl,

Are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe that we can make this into
Something that will last, last forever, forever

Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush aint goin away, goin away

Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm tryin, tryin to walk away
But I know this crush aint goin away, goin away

daylight savings starts today.. so im 3h ahead now..

i hate how one hr just disappeared like that. it just screwed up my bio clock la! wads normally 6.30 is now 7.30.. dinner has just become 5pm (old time).. i guess i'll get used to it soon.. it was much easier when we turned our clocks back though.. extra hour to sleep in.. shiok sia.. now i got robbed of it.. pfft..

jenny's party was fun while it lasted.. came back earlier though..

anw life goes on.. :) 3 weeks to exams.. sucks really.. dammit.. i hate exams.. hate this constant need to do well.. win everyone else.. >< not sure if im being excessive though.. *fingers crossed*

26/29!! :)) so so so so so happy! second highest in class.. highest 27.. missed 90% by 0.3% but considering it was mcq.. i couldnt have done much too.. hahah!

lost the 3 marks in pathology.. must have been that stupid extended matching qns.. like what in the world was cutting cone? never saw that in my life/notes/tb la! had to google to find that term and it was in the test! so i'll give myself one more mark for that.. maybe the other two marks were also from the emq.. not sure.. oh well i'll never know too.. :(

jenny's party today! its gonna be fun! last party before the exams.. whee~!!

for now.. better get some work done first.. if not i'll probably regret it soon.. ><

test was alright i guess.. i think the qn i got wrong was kinda unfair because of the term used.. cutting cone.. never saw that term before.. oh well.. one wrong.. doesnt matter i guess.. still 29/30 for now.. *fingers crossed*

dissection today was qutie fun.. got to see the cubital fossa etc.. apparently one cadaver doesnt have palmaris longus on one arm.. im starting to like the forearm.. lets hope it stays this way.. if i can master the upper limb.. the lower limb should be a breeze.. seriously upper limb is insanely complex.. brachial plexus.. multitude of muscles in the thumb.. the nerves are a pain too.. but i'll get there.. i will.. i definitely will! JIAYOU!

another thing i need to get around would be ANS sia.. i really really dont like the lecturer.. because he is using another lecturers notes.. he goes off track sometimes.. and its not in the notes and we dont know if its gonna be tested.. and apparently it will be.. cos it came out in the test.. >< but i got that right so thats fine.. for now..

watching RPA right now.. basically its a show based on real life cases happening in RPA hospital.. its so exciting man.. makes me wanna do med even more.. just that im not sure i wanna be a surgeon.. i've got such a soft spot for babies..

ok RPA just ended.. now its amazing medical stories.. HAHA! how cool is that.. :P giants (>7ft) and face blindness.. :)

week 11! thats damn fast sia.. still rmb myself moaning about rural week during week 6..

elvin3's lunch today! had salmon with lemon herb butter for mains.. mm.. super yummy la.. soft pink meat + warm fragrant butter.. *drools* starters were awesome.. smoked salmon, mushroom, olives, blue cheese, beef slices + cheese, hummus + bread, mussels, quail legs, chicken.. shiok man! hahaha.. AUD35 per person.. >< plus we opened like 3 bottles of wine on top of the 3 glasses they ordered.. hahaha.. total bill was $900-8.. you do the math.. only people who are extravagantly rich will be able to afford that.. haha! actually i think it prob was the taxes, wine etc that made it so expensive.. if not it should only be like $700.. cos 35x20 = 700

went over to mures for ice cream.. haha! honeycomb, rum and raisin, macademia nut.. yummy! the ice cream here is so good man.. 3 scoops for $5.. thats like one big tauhuay container full of ice cream! must share sia..

the pics are all in elvine's and christin@'s camera so i'll have to kope from them first.. only took pics of the food.. :P forgot about the starters.. it was

this is crap sia.. plus today was kama1's birthday dinner too but couldnt go because there's that test next week that i need to study for.. yupyup! didnt go for maybell3's birthday lunch thing too.. there's so much happening la.. must concentrate and study!! ><

i wish you would just tell me why you're not happy.

you're not doing anything and i don't know a thing.

how do you think that makes me feel?

i feel torn apart.

its week 10 of 13 school weeks.. wow time really flies man!

4 weeks to swot vac.. 5 weeks to exams.. 7 weeks till i get home..

being home makes me feel surreal. its makes me feel all dreamy and stuff. after being away from home for so long, you finally go back and feel like nothing has changed. that was how i felt when i went back in june. i questioned whether the past 4 months really happened. i felt that the 4 mths could have just been erased and it wouldnt have made much of a difference at all. maybe its because you dont really hang out or contact the people you have lived with for the past 4 mths.. its as if they never existed.

but these are the people who means a lot to me too. weird isnt it?

next yr's gonna be different. people are moving out, graduating etc. what sense of belonging? dian3's right. there is not sense of belonging. your bestest friend may move out/graduate before you. you make new friends and the cycle repeats itself. people who just come into your life and leave even before you know it. they're just the supporting actors in the play. easily forgotten and barely remembered.

its amazing what living together with other people can do. you see all sorts of weird things. stupid arguments. you see people in a different light after a while. *shrugs* you cant stop people from thinking what they think. but you can control what you do and how you perceive the issues at hand. i think thats the way to go. the people who care dont bother and the people who bother dont care. so the most important thing is to be happy. :) smile and the whole world would smile with you.

omg just realised its 6 weeks to exams!! *freaks out*

this semester has gone by really quickly. even i am amazed at the speed its gone by with. in a flash, singapore night, rural week, jane ball etc are all over! jane weekend's coming up soon with jane play this fri and sat.. there's so much to do yet there's so little time. i really need to concentrate and get down to studying hard. :) cannot fail man.. haha! though a lot of people would be like "HUH U FAIL?! YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!"

sometimes that stresses me. but i guess as long as i dont fail, having more of a life would prob make me much happier and not just spending every single day with my books and nothing else. its hard when people around you have 12-13h weeks (which can be shortened by ponning) while you have like 20+h weeks with barely any break with the same number of assignments as them. sometimes you really wonder if its all worth it, but i guess it will be in 4.5years time. not that i will have much of a life by then.. ><

life's so full of surprises and i'm glad certain things happen. i'm glad to have someone who keeps me sane most of the time. i'm grateful for the support and friends i have around me. when the going gets tough and you wonder if you'll make it out alive, these are the people who reassure me and tell me that its gonna be worth it at the end of the day. all the shit that we have to tahan etc just clouds the bigger picture.

the moons really bright today. kinda fell asleep just staring at the moon just now. luckily managed to wake up and drag myself to bathe and now im back at the com/notes. :) badminton tmr again! yay! at least there will be more people this time around.. more fun! hopefully dear mr tee will be able to wake up and come along too! though he's got soccer training at 1.30 later.. :(

watched sex and the city and harold and kumar escape from guantanamo bay over the weekend.. :) nice shows i guess.. haha! h&k was super retarded la.. like seriously.. >< but it was good to laugh all the stress of life away.. hehe!

prob going for KFP later on. was supposed to go earlier but the mum couldnt make it so now we're mtg her at 3.30.. zzz which means by the time i get back to hobart its gonna be like 5+.. omg i dont wanna walk back myself la.. prob ask 3lvine for a lift! haha! he's prob at jane so yay! hehe.. seriously its during these horrible attachments that i wish i had a car.. it was rather inconvenient to go to derwent park.. plus there's cancer council next wed but thats nearby so its alright.. new norfolk is just too blardy far away la.. kabish.. dont like it man.. oh well.. >< and its prob gonna get busier.. *shrugs*

presentation and dissection this week again.. not looking forward to tmr and fri.. longgg days ahead! we're gonna cut open the vertebrae! yay! see the meninges, spinal cord.. whee~! out comes the saw man! saw thru all the laminae and stuff.. wahahaha! dissections really cool.. until u have to clean up all the stupid things that body uses to hold things in place.. pfft. hahah!

gotta start researching for my presentation too.. and prepare for osce fa tmr.. thank god its only fa but i guess i still have to study.. surface anatomy and start learning to talk to myself! :S

ok lunch time! hopefully get some work done before leaving for school again cos we're prob mtg there and then going out to KFP. sometimes i really wonder why do we have to do this.. its quite waste time la.. oh well.

today's the last day of hols.. :( sad man.. this week has just gone by like that.. horrible la.. wish it was longer.. this means that there are 6 more weeks of school.. 1 week of swot vac.. 2 weeks of exam.. then its home! and the end of yr 1.. super fast.. its already september..

havent done much this week really.. apart from doing up the notes from last week and my assignment.. maybe i should start on another assignment.. then at least i wont feel so slack? hahaha.. but its the last day of hols and to spend it on work is like HUHHH.. sian.. :P

oh and gossip girl season 2 ep 1 is up on the network! YAY! shall go find it and watch.. hehe.. thats if i can get onto the network.. ><

i'm feeling quite crabby right now. I COULD HAVE GONE TO LAUNCESTON!! why they early early nv tell me got space! then i wouldnt have gone down to town and then to collect the tents.. :(

so much for being nice. :( doesnt pay does it? pfft. now im really angry. not really angry la. just disappointed and like in a whatever-la state.. its like if i were in my room i would be on my way to launceston now.. *sob* i'm trying to comfort myself with my books. the love of my life. yupyup. tmr will be a better day! yes it will be! launceston.. i can always go some other time.. :) right? yes.. i shall use this undisturbed day to finish up my notes and assignment! make full use of this.. then i can enjoy the rest of my holidays.. :) its already wednesday.. spring's such a wonderful season.. not too cold yet not too hot.. sun's shining right now! looking out of the window just makes me so happy.. :) should go do laundry too.. i'll make this MY day. yup! spend some time with myself.. just relaxing and maybe watching some dramas.. hehe.. see how..

but for now. i'm still feeling crabby. need some cheering up. :( maybe some mycoplasm and chlamydia would cheer me up. followed by a dose of back anatomy and innervation of lower limb. then maybe some duchenne muscular dystrophy would do me some good. yeah i think it will.. someone just make my day now please! :(

its spring! weather's great right now.. sunny.. not that cold.. love it man!

its the hols right now too.. :) more play, less work.. as compared to all work no play.. guess thats the difference when it comes to hols.. hahah! there're still notes to read, assignments to do.. things to worry about like OSCE FA and presentation.. i've got some GP Ass1st thing this sat so i've gotta go down somewhere else to sit there for 2h.. basically its an after-hrs service (cos docs dont work 24/7 here) where people will call and the nurse will assess and tell them wad to do.. if they dunno wad to do, they will pass it on to the docs who will help.. yeah.. cool rite! only because its so unlike singapore.. hahaha..

i want to watch wall.E! not sure when it opens here though.. but its so expensive to watch movies here.. its like 11.50! pfft.. see how la.. maybe i'll just wait for someone to upload onto the network.. HAHA! that will save me money.. :D

now back to my membrane potential/action potential notes.. :))

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..
