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！

i'll be going to new town later. finally getting that blasted presentation done. sometimes the tasks are so easy while this one is really hard. we have to interview like the emergency services/police search and rescue, paramedic and ER doctor/registrar.. wahlau eh its like who the hell will be able to get these people to interview?!
well. me! :)
asked dr chr1stine cliff0rd to help us contact some people and she passed my contact down to t3rry br0wn, ER doc, who then passed my info down to this other doc who's a sen1or medical 3ducator! and we're in luck considering they are having a course on 3mergency medicine so they will all be there!!!! omg so exciting! so we'll be going down later. hope they will allow us to video them or else it is going to be a looonnng week for me since we'll have to role play it then.. DAMMIT.
apart from that.. life's good i guess.. got 27/30 for MCQ FA again.. hahaha hopefully i did well for SAQ but we still dont know the grades for that and also for T2-4 SAQ..
shall go back to my skin. sunday's the day to do everything yet i've that dumb interview thing. argh i hope we wont take too long cos i really really really want to study! another MCQ SA on 7th may!!! noo....

its anzac day tmr so that means its a holiday for us!! :)
most unfortunately we aren't going to port @rthur because there aren't enough people who can make it on saturday.. but em1ly is going to get us all tgt to arrange a time where most people can make it.. hopefully i wouldnt be too bogged down by work to actually go and see it!
just watched "not another teen movie" and its sooo DUMB! seriously. argh pretty wonderful waste of time but i guess i finally understand stuff that christin@ is talking about so yeah. international night's coming up on 10th may which is sooo exciting! everything sounds really fun and i can't wait for it to happen.. dont worry.. the camera will definitely be on standby!! :) and that includes those of others as well so i have to be picture perfect or at least ready.. hehe.. not that there aren't already MANY extremely unglam photos in sinhui's camera. omg they are BAD. i've basically run out of facial expressions for the no of time she points the camera at me..
next week is going to be exciting as well! we've got the pasar malam thing coming up on friday where SSS will be selling char kway teow, prata, fishballs, satay, muah chee, bandung, cupcorn, teh tarik etc.. hungry? ok u people really shouldnt be feeling hungry since the people who read this blog are mostly in singapore and i dont think the people in tassie have actually found this blog. so yup! i'm in charge of selling fishballs and satay and i think sinhui is going to help me! :) christina is selling prata i think.. wahahaha!
i've got a reflective piece due on friday and its about death and dying in the medical context. sounded rather interesting but now that i've started it, i think its really about serious stuff. not just any other laughing matter but it really made me think about my perspective on death and dying. our treatment of dying patients, the respect and dignity that we have to preserve even in death, the communication skills required to break such horrible news etc. its an art and im really grateful that we're gonna be taught these things as these are things that have become so uncommon that we're not able to express our grief effectively. as a result, many doctors end up sounding really cold and unfeeling though thats just their way of hiding their sorrow.
there's also case task presentation on friday.. see everything's on friday so friday is a really big thing for me!!! hope i'll survive! yes i will and i must! :) super michelle will rise up to the occasion!
this long weekend is going to be filled with the following programmes.

yay my most hated week so far is over!!! :) happy like shit man.. wahahah!
went to the gym after that.. cycled, did some weights, rowed etc.. then went for power bar.. omg i tot i was gonna die!!! i really regretted doing the leg presses and rowing during that 1 hr man.. hahaha i tot my hands/arms were gonna fall off! but it was actually quite good in the sense that my arms are actually sore and i think i did work those triceps and biceps that are hidden somewhere.. haha..
there's pilates tmr but that will depend on whether i can actually feel my arms tmr.. hehe.. dinner was quite interesting cos i couldnt move my left arm so i ate with one arm instead.. ><
so yeah now i just have to study more (not today!!) for the upcoming test in about a week's time.. more like 10 days.. argh this is sad.. :(
went to the gym after that.. cycled, did some weights, rowed etc.. then went for power bar.. omg i tot i was gonna die!!! i really regretted doing the leg presses and rowing during that 1 hr man.. hahaha i tot my hands/arms were gonna fall off! but it was actually quite good in the sense that my arms are actually sore and i think i did work those triceps and biceps that are hidden somewhere.. haha..

next week is my most hated week so far. 4 tests with 3 on the same day. oh well luckily outta 4 tests, 3 are formative so that meanst that they arent counted in the final grade at the end of semester.
elvin3 got his new car which is great because now we get to go out without having to walk. :) 32oI BMW.. shiok sia.. haha.. AU$25k i think.. >< second hand which is cheap if u compare to singapore but if u compare to the other 'lok' cars that the people here buy, its freaking expensive. tin9 bought hers for like AU$750.. which is the 'lokkest' that u can get. no power steering etc. HAHA. his gf will be coming in bout 2 weeks time. so cool la.. she's flying j3tstar all the way and return cost her like $900+.. thats damn cheap la!! but then again its J3tstar and that ride wouldnt be too comfortable from sg to melb..
life's been just rather monotonous apart from the usual gossiping during dinner. its just go to school, study, eat, talk, study, sleep. which in actual fact i quite like because its something that i am good at. which is kind of sad but yeah i do like studying. :) maybe thats why im doing med and not fine art or something like that. too abstract for me. just give me the facts and i'll digest and tell u all about it.. hahah!
im just really amazed at how music can change your mood, evoke emotions etc. the barage of memories that just floods back when u listen to some songs. it might just have been some song that you were discussing with your friend and all of a sudden you start missing them so so much. its not that the friends here are not nice etc but i just miss my old friends a little. the familiarity and the nonsense we used to do together. (im still doing nonsense now but thats another story) maybe its the culture that im in. i miss being in an asian country. i miss being the majority. i dont like sticking out like a thorn. im happiest in my room alone or at meals with all the other singaporeans/asians. just speaking singlish and being just singaporean. aussie's nice just if u ignore the fact that its not very safe to go out at night due to horrible drunkards who turn racist and throw weird stuff like eggs at you and call u stupid names. makes everyone rather exasperated at times though there isnt much u can do. the 'best' thing that happens would be when they just assume we're japanese and start shouting/saying "konnichiwaaaaa!" from their cars or even when they pass you on the streets when u're shopping. its really irritating at times.
pam's entry kinda got me thinking a little. how often will u actually have a double coincidence of want? plus what marcu5 said about girls should not fall for a guy before a guy actually starts wooing her. ><><
in the meantime i'll just stick to my books and pray harder. :))

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! :)
