rainy thursday

this morning on the way to school, i was terrified on the roads. could barely see further than the car in front of me, and the traffic was soo heavy. on the way back from holland v, it was all misty and dreamy, esp on the benjamin sheares bridge. the road was really wet, and the cars travelling on it splashed up tiny droplets of water. so many cars, so many splashes. from my driver's seat, it looked like there was a perpetual dreamy-like mist covering the surface of the road.

everyone's getting super excited about D&D. all through lectures the people ard me were chattering away - about liyana's tutu (she's borrowing mine), cel's wings, marcus's bowler hat (he's going as charlie chaplin now) etcetcetc. and then in the girl's toilet (THE place to be after lectures for a little bit of gossip), i discovered that ours wasnt the only group jabbering away. haha. took a little more effort than usual not to get caught up in the hype, and to focus on lectures. got somewhat lost in the pharmaco lect. i mean, the concepts are easy to grasp. but soo many equations, my brain just shut down upon seeing equations. i thought that we'd escape maths once we got into med. unfortunately not so. michealis-menton, henderson-hassalbach have all made a reappearance. COFM's been blasting out statistics like nobody's business too, and whilst i once thought i understood things like confidence interval, P-value, t2 test, the lecture by COFM sufficiently confused me all over again. i shld have just skipped it.

keep thinking about this particular incident. i was chatting w my cousin who's doing 2nd yr med in msia, and heard tt she and her friends rented an apartment. me, thinking abt my singaporean friends in hall here and friends living aboard in the States or wherever else, immediately said "wah so fun, can go furniture shopping and stuff w ur friends, make the place comfy"... whereupon she snapped back "where got so comfy like u all... our living room just use plastic chairs, our bedroom so many ppl squeezing, we just use foam mattresses" . i felt DAMN bad larh.

oh and i have a 2nd counsellee. deborah, whom i discovered reads this blog too. haha HELLO! my other counsellee's woochiao =) im a bad counsellor. havent prepared ANY material to pass down yet. boo.
