165 posts on...
5:27 PM  this blog has served me well. it has heard my share of nonsense and wisdom. through this blog, i've reached out to my dearest friends and expressed the things that matter to me for the past 3 years. but i think it's time to move on to another phase of my life. while this blog was built around my jc years and my first year in university, it's time to document the rest of my uni life in another place. a place where i can truly be myself. i'll be moving to almostbelieving.livejournal.com. perhaps i'll see you there. so long, and farewell :) Monday, March 31, 2008
what a fortunate realization
11:25 AM  i just realised that i haven't gone out since the last time i blogged, other than fetching my mom to the car repair workshop and lunch after that. i think that's why i had to get out of the house yesterday. unfortunately i was out the whole day! studying = out of sight, out of mind. hahaha. the afternoon was spent with ian/boyfriend/comfort company :) we had kenny rogers for lunch! which was very good - macaroni&cheese, corn niblets, roasters wings, mashed potato and corn muffin. mmhmm, very good. hahaha after that we walked around a bit and then decided to slack our time away at carls junior with a regular sized refillable drink. haha we're such stingy pigs. but yes, we took our usual seat next to raffles boulevard and watched the cars go by. i realise that talking about cars can be very relaxing. but the beloved CC made me very tired yesterday. hahaha.  dinner was supposed to be a triple date+claudio the unhealthy smoker at hog's breath at chijmes. as usual, we stole their coasters. hahaha. food was good. ian and i shared the natural prime rib with extra fries and no salad/vege. help. cardiovascular disease alert. hahaha. we had lots of fun making fun of each other and carrying on alternating sarcastic and retarded conversations. haha. after that we wanted to have half-priced dessert at menotti, so we went around doing aimless window shopping at raffles city in anticipation of 10pm. and not to mention, lots of camwhoring. and some people we call our boyfriends pesking around with the slr. hahaha. menotti dessert was good although i only finished half of my soffiato (which was very good). i think we were all uber bloated by the end of the night. some err, interesting quotes of the night:
the trip home was err, bumpy, to say the least. haha i shall not complain about stupid cab drivers in singapore who are hopelessly opportunistic once the clock strikes 11 and they are impossible to flag down during that time because they want your midnight surcharge and their stupid customer service officers refuse to pick up your calls and play you unending lift music and when they finally pick you up late, they drive like it's formula 1 racing and are grumpy in the process. okay i couldn't control myself. i had to rant about this because i didn't think that the cab situation from 11-12 was so bad until yesterday. and i made 2 guys wait with me for elusive cabs for what seemed like a million years. rah! public transport, sigh. and so i missed my curfew yesterday. no repercussions yet, though. hehehe. anyway i shall be shutting and locking myself at home from now on. i obviously need to study harder. free biochem answers depress me. hahaha. really must step up on the revision now. GO. okay perhaps i'll upload some of the camwhoring moments we had yesterday when i next have my bored-to-tears-and-need-some-leisure moment. i hope my current motivation doesn't wear off too quickly and cause other self-destructive behaviour. like binge eating and online shopping and trawling the net mindlessly for hours on end. okay i will now stand firm and forge on. it'll all be over in 2 weeks or so. yay yay yay! okay guyton here i come, bye!

whenever, wherever
1:53 PM i hereby showcase the things i've been doing during my free time for the past 5 days or so.  my brother's belated birthday present. and the present for the boyfriend. random one, yes. it turned out quite well, though i don't think i was successful in making the subject person cry! hurhur okay am sadistic.anyway yesterday was one interesting day. i'm glad that it turned out well. though we were all so exhausted by the end of the day, and though this is probably not the end of the emotional trauma, but it's good that it's the beginning of the end. today was another interesting day, and since i figured i'm the only one who would feel this way, i shall make a list! to make it more interesting to the people reading this. okay i dont make sense - lists aren't interesting. ahh, whatever. hurhur.
the way you can always make me smile, or even better, reduce me into a laughing fit, whenever, wherever. yes, it's my favourite too :) have a good day, y'all! Monday, March 24, 2008
my short reprieve from mugging
5:34 PM  i've taken the weekend off after the CAs, and i have to say that it's been a weekend well spent. after physio CA on thursday, i went off with liesel to the physio dialogue with the med educationalist. while the food was good (japanese!), i wouldn't count that session as an enjoyable way to celebrate the end of CAs. basically, we gave our feedback, it was recorded, and explanations were given by the dean's office, etc. it wasn't easy trying to get a word in. but well, i think that's cos they picked the right people to go for the session. anyway the curriculum for next year's batch of med year 1s will be really different from what we're going through now. however, it remains to be seen whether it's going to be a better way of learning medicine. anyhow, the session wasn't too bad lah. i survived it! hurhur. after that, i met tracy at wheelock, and we did some shopping at laine's paperterie, which was the scrapbooking store i wanted to check out. the decor over there isn't as cosy or organized, and so i had a really bad time trying to find supplies for the boyfriend's present. a headache ensued soon after. hahaha. after that we did our usual mos burger chat session at taka, and did some very good shopping at art friend and creative hands on level 4. much cheaper supplies than at laine's or mwl. yay! hehehe. dinner was finger licking good at kfc with ian :) and i watched step up 2! :D it was fantastic. there was no storyline whatsoever, but the dance moves were groovin' baby! hahaha i've gotten myself the soundtrack and like the oc, i'm groovin' to it while doing my stuff. hahaha. good friday was spent with the family doing the usual public holiday thing. crystal jade dimsum brunch followed by good ol' shopping in orchard. as usual, i bought stuff from zara and promod. haha. dinner was at the soup spoon! which was rather good, though i'll rather save the money and spend it on subway. hahaha. saturday! i met up with huilin and we drove to suntec to have carl's jr. we had a not-so-usual catch up session, and then we shopped around. huilin, being bad influence, tried her best to get me to skip my chocolate appreciation workshop in school to go shopping at haji with her. honestly i had a very tough time deciding, but i guess my righteous side prevailed and i went to school. hahaha. the workshop was quite interesting, learning more about truffles, pralines, couverture and things like that. we tasted some couverture chocolate too, which was very good :) it was too bad that we couldn't make the chocolates according to their plans cos a carpeted-aircon environment isn't suited for baking. oh well. but now i know how to choose my chocolates :D dinner after that was at cartel in j8 with ian. plus some retarded body shop shopping. hahaha. sunday! my last scrapbooking lesson, which wasn't as good as the previous ones cos i wasn't feeling too well. but at least i got my mothers' day layout done! hehehe. my weekend was really good, and now i'm feeling a huge load of inertia to start my revision again for the pros. okay i'll start lah. after dinner, hurhur. like joy said, it's time to draw up an efficient studying plan. perhaps it'll be good to study in the science library. perhaps. ah! am hungry. i'll think about that later. bye!

deviant med sch behaviour
2:07 PM  i do that to my snell sometimes too, during my frequent intervals of distraction between mugging sessions. everyday, when i come home from school, the first thing i'll do is to stuff my face and surf the net simultaneously. yes, even on days where there are exams the next day and there's huge pile of notes lying next to me. during this time, i forget the impending doom i'll face the next day, and the petrifying thoughts of vivas. i'll get totally immersed in my cyber world, blogsurfing, online shopping, looking at beautiful photographs, and sourcing for cheap scrapbooking supplies. most of the time, i become overly fascinated with some image site, or fashion blog, or online shop. such as today. today, i discovered a new image site called deviant art. the photos on that site are taken by independent photographers, some using professional techniques, and others using cult methods such as in lomography. either way, they turn out fantastic, even more fantastic than those i see in gettyimages, i think. and threadless is having a USD$9 sale for their tshirts! the spree communities are going crazy organising their sprees, especially as the us dollar is depreciating so drastically. it's SGD$1 = USD$1.42 now. and so i went, surfing around threadless for interesting shirts for the boyfriend and myself. due to the sale, site traffic was horrendous and they had to shut their site for maintenance for an hour or so. hahaha after all that trouble of picking out 2 nice shirts, i decided against buying anything. because 1. the USD may drop some more! am in frugal mode now, since i splurged on david&goliath last week already when the exchange rate was $1.46! and 2. a check on the spree-rs' purchases has allowed me to reach a conclusion that most of the people are buying the same shirts. and since quite a lot of people in med sch are already smittened with threadless shirts, i'm not about to allow myself to be caught in a situation where someone is in the same shirt as me! hahaha this paragraph is so bimbotic and philistine. i apologize, haha. i've discovered more fashion blogs! they're actually quite interesting. the content is usually about the latest trends about town, and also those on the catwalk. i'm not as crazy as the OC to download videos of models walking, but i do like to read their sarcastic and sometimes over-enthusiastic reviews of the latest S/S 08 collection, for example. it is quite an art, you know, to psych out the latest trends. it's like being a investment banker doing research on the most reliable and profitable investments. hurhur perhaps my dress sense will improve. nah, who am i kidding. and! i've found yet another scrapbooking supplies store at wheelock! am going to take a trek down to town after physio tmr with tracy to check it out :) i've also discovered many online scrapbooking stores. i shall browse through them this weekend to decrease spendings on expensive scrapbooking supplies. hehehe. as to the exams, well. i've come to realise med sch exams are like having sensitive teeth. like in the advertisement for colgate, you will experience a short, shart pain during the exam period. cos it's just 3 days worth of 1 hour papers. but it's a lifelong experience where you can't get rid of this numbing voice in your head which keeps telling you to study. anat spots was da bomb. it really exploded in my face. i was busy being depressed yesterday, which led to poor revision for today's biochem. which led to too many instances of being tricked by the questions. i'm going to be unbelievably grateful if i don't fall below the average grade. sigh. on a side note, i've been selected along with some others to go for a physio dialogue with a senior med educationalist together with prof hooi! okay, there's lunch provided, but why me! haha i am vaguely suspicious that this has something to do with a distant parental connection. but then again, i may be overreacting. if it really is random, then i really am err, lucky? well okay a paragraph this long obviously proves that i'm overreacting. hahaha. i will now take a short nap to allow my brain to rest for a bit. it's the last paper tomorrow! exciting weekend ahead :D and i shall NOT be distracted by that fact - the infamous last-paper-tmr effect. ahaha. GOOD LUCK GOOD LUCK. haha what are the chances that you anyone of you guys will actually read this today? never mind. it'll reach you all in spirit. bye! Monday, March 17, 2008
well it's about time.

life's little pleasures
3:23 AM  today, i take pride in taking note of my recent little victories. 1. i'm done with my 1st reading for the cas. i have to admit to myself that it wasn't the most thorough revision i've done, but yes, it's done. now it's time to focus on the impending spots exam. i will prevail. 2. i've decided to participate in some therapeutic online shopping by taking part in my 2nd david&goliath spree! i think i went a lil overboard, buying 3 clearance t-shirts. but hey, i managed to spend under 50 bucks :) i can't wait to see my purchases, hurhur. 3. the scrapbooking course has been one of the best things that i decided to do. it's the best part of my otherwise deadly-boring-filled-with-mugging weekends. playing with the various tools and crafts can be so cathartic. haha especially when the hammer is involved. 4. the commotion on my tagboard is very amusing, and unbelievably uplifting :) 5. because of scrapbooking, i've come to be slightly addicted to photography! especially photos taken by interesting cult cameras (such as the one above). holgas, 35mm cams, 2/3/4 shot cams, fisheyes, etc. the imperfection achieved in the photos is so intriguing! and its novelty just ups the I-WANT-IT factor. help! i must resist until the end of exams when i can consult huilin. hahaha. 6. i know i can count on you for what i need, when i need it :) whether it's a ridiculous conversation on the phone because mugging has been too suffocating, a last minute lunch date just cos i'm having another one of those cravings, or a hug when i need reassurance and security - thank you :) 7. i know that liberation is drawing near. just one more month babies! just 3 more days till cas. let's go, it'll be over soon. |
