ok i cant wait for the end of this ****** week to end. been feeling soooo freaking tired, weak, cold and tired every single day. oh did i say tired TWICE? haha yeah ive been simply exhausted la, everyday zonked out just after 4hrs of continuous lectures. I'm very amused by prof khoo hoon eng, who really is a very nice lady and lecturer. but she's always half an hour late for her lectures!!! everytime she gets a 8am lecture she never fails to arrive at 835. and well, it seems as though the dean's office is used to it already because her lectures are always slotted 8-10, then the next lecturer's is at 1030-1230. so we all happily pack our bags and go to class expecting to have a nice half hour break to go makan breakfast, queue for coney dog from science canteen western stall, or eat my favourite corn pao,... then she arrives at class at 835, and says "oh sorry sorry its really my fault, and ill have to take ur 10-1030 break k to finish up everything"... BONK. break gone. tummy rumbles =( thinks wistfully about pao and coney dog (and andrew leong's ice kachang.. more about that later)

yarh so it sucks to have 4hrs of lectures consecutive. today we covered 4 chapters. which means about 100 pages of reading to do, probably more. sighs. and wel today's biochem FA was horrible. it was SO DECEIVING! i did the paper happily thinking tt i'd do okay, it wasnt so bad after all...

then prof maxey chung goes through the answers and im like "shit... wrong.... oh shit wrong again.. oh god why is this one wrong????? gah!! all wrong!!!!!"
huising can testify to that because we were grabbing each other in horror at the number of wrong answers we had.
sighs.
despite all the studying and effort, 11/20 only. gah.
disappointment.

then lawrence darling msges me to say that we cant go marina sq tmr... disappointment again. next week's mid sem break and i was so looking forward to trying carl's jr (which andrew fang keeps saying is vv nice) and shopping at marina sq's new youth area on friday night. now im left hanging. any plans anyone??

well at least after guzzling alot alot alot of chocolate to hide and mask my sadness and sianness with endorphins (which choc is supposed to release), playing badminton and then squash with the KE ppl and zhenhui was quite fun, and stress relieving.... angry right, just whack the shuttlecock/squash ball hard hard then watch the thing fly. my brachioradialis and flexor muscles quite weak now though, so v hard to hit hard hard. had to hold the squash racquet with 2 hands but still managable la. zhenzhen, next time i'm gg to look u up for squash again! =)

oh yes i promised to write abt andrew l. hahaha he's damn funny he wants to set up dessert club in medfac. hahaha.. if u see a guy happily blatantly holding a plastic container of icekachang/icejelly/assorted dessert from science canteen dessert stall, just eating damn freaking obviously, its gotta be andrew l, unless he's influenced more guys from medfac to join him in his exploits.

tonight the KE ppl are gg to watch the longest yard at midnight show. sorely tempted to join them. afterall its the kind of thing i wanteed to do when i stayed in pgp. but sighs. too tired la. must live up to my reputation as mugger and mug lower limb so that i can answer prof gopal's "come on! come on! finish my sentences!!!" during my 6 hr long lower limb marathon tmr. can u believe it???/ i have lecture, followed by pract, THEN tutorial. gg to end at like 4pm or sthg tmr. sighs. and prof gopal wonders why we're so unenthu about his extra lessons. thanks though for being so nice and putting in the effort to prepare stuff to coach us in the limbs properly. he's a truly great tutor la, vvv funny one too.

and before stinky me proceeds to bathe in my lovely pgp toilet, i want to write abt prof sit. she's taught for 38years at NUS, every year M1s, about Heme and Bioenergetics. i really admire her for her endurance. if me, i'd prob die and wilt away already... she's super funny... although she's slightly slow with her lectures but i love her anw. haha... she exudes e regal air of the colonial era and still raps the table to get the attention of the class (all 230 of us). and well she laments about how we don't behave even though we shld have been told to, and tells us to ask questions but don't talk (i mean, how contradictory is that?) hahaha.. she perks me up (when everyone around me is dozing)

hahaha.. okay... interesting lecturers. nus medfac biochem dept also has alot of lecturers with indian/chinese/hongkie/chinese-hongkie mixed with american accents and well its interesting to decipher what they're saying. like the "yam structure" (in the brachial plexus), and the "eye-bund and aye-bund" (skeletal muscle fibres) etcetcetc. its amusing and it perks my day up.

now i have to go wonder why why WHY after faithfully listening to EVERY SINGLE lecture (ok i admit i din go for neuromuscular disorders cos i went to see sel off, so i dunno what myasthenia gravis does or how to treat it), i still barely passed my FAs. GAH. *SOB*
