I've stay home all day, and i've studied quite little. What a good waste of time. Time i'll be studying till 2, 3pm. Watched 2 movies today. There's this Andy Lau old old show on channel 8 afternoon. and there's The Sound of Music, which is still so entertaining after so long. I so wanna go for the musical. Think will get tickets soon.
Ok, I'm going to study now...

Yeah! It's a holiday tmr. But i'm not happy. MRS exam is on monday (Strawby: Yes the coming Monday). Today's been a pretty ok day. Didn't sleep well last nite, damn tired all day long. And my fingers shivering under the affects of caffiene overload. The quizes went well. While I was in the library studying for my quizes, I started reading some female magazines. They have the most interesting ways to cut down on carbs and losing weight. There's this one: "Eat with your non-master hand, you'll eat slower and slowly taste your food and feel satisfied (in terms of taste and flavour) and you need not over eat to gain such satisfaction."
And there's this other REALLY scarey article. People are usually confused about "portions" and "servings". A serving of a particular food is the amount of that particular food that can provide a standardized amount of nutrient, say carbohydrates. However, a portion is just the amount of food that's smacked in your face on the plate that it's served on. The article pointed out pasta. One typical portion (plate) of pasta at a restaurant is a freaking 4-8 SERVINGS. One serving of pasta is actually 1/2 a cup. Yeeeewwww.... Too think that an average person requires only 6-8 servings of carbohydrates (starchy food) a day.
That brings me to things like fried rice and noodles. I guess, people tend to over-eat foods like fried rice cos most people eat fried rice without other dishes. Result, you'll end up eating alot of rice to feel full, instead of half the rice with vegetables and other dishes, which is a typical chinese meal. Point i'm trying to get across is, instead of eating full portions of fried rice/noodles, we can eat white rice with dishes (esp vegetables). Vegetables and proteins can make a person feel full (at least not hungry) for much longer then rice, plus for veg it's carbohydrate (calorie) content is minimal.
Was looking at photos from last year, life was so happy then...
Anyone actually counted the number of sets of notes for Radiation Biology?
7!!! ONLY! What is the lecturer thinking off? What the point of calling it a module? When there's so little to teach and so little to learn! Hahaha... Amazing...

Ok, it's going nuts! Studying for quiz. Argh! Too much to remember. Going nuts...

Sphygmomanometer!
I can spell this freaking word. I'm going nuts... Hahaha, btw, that's the thing that is used to measure blood pressure. Studying my Patient Care, and i really need to be patient with this shittyly dry module. need alot of memory work. Need so spell hard words like sphygmomanometer and hypovolemia. I'm so geeky.
I've finally eaten a Magnum, the wall's ice cream. Damn nice siah, I've been contemplating if i should eat it for like the past week. I tot i could fit the 290cals into today's diet as i ran and i think i ingested about 1800 only. minus run, got space for the Magnum. Oh man, Magnum is goood... Heavenly... and is a 3 click run...
The weekend's been a restful one. With minimal amount of money spent. I feel so well rested and ready to cheong for my ICA 2 aka the final exams. Nothing has started though, went to darling's place to print out my MRS notes and watched the finale of 1/2 Yuan Fen. Haiz, I hate ugly Jesslyn Tay. Hmmm... I hate her even with her glam look. Anyway...
Been eating too much, and my jeans are beginning to feel a little tight. Oh crap, need to cut down on my food liao, and need to up the exercise. The practical test studying really burnt me out quite alot, left me with no strength and mood to run and exercise and just feel like eating. But ya, anyway, my studying and burning out did pay off. Well, i think since the ppl (classmates) who read this prob already know my Anatomy and Physio results. Might as well declare to my other non classmate friends! I got
DISTINCTION for my prac! IT A FREAKING GRADE I'VE NEVER SMELT! And my overall A n P result of far including mid sem is a very pretty A. Hoping to maintain it.
Yeah!
And HHH don't make so much noise. And UBI roads are alot harder and steeper and have 10 times the number of class 4 and 5 vehicles with 10 metre blind spots.

It was Princess Day yesterday! I went for my first Disney on Ice with darling. The theme was Disney's Princess. It's so nice and spectacular. And we were lucky enough to get head on tickets. So the skaters were like facing us most of the time. The princesses were, Jasmine, Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Mulan, Belle (Beauty) and Cinderella. Nice show...
Bought darling a Cinderella mug with very gross shaved ice inside. But the mug is pretty, and I know darling loves it!
When to Swensens at the Airport for our erm... meal, dunno what meal it's considered but it's so nice to eat at the airport. The Swensens is so nice. And ya, I still can't believe anyone can live that near to the Airport. Darling lives a 15 mins smooth busride from the Airport. AMAZING!

The CNB commercial:
We are not much different from other youngsters
students in the day
brothers at night
This is
*ppl, contribute the names leh*
Cheeky
Donovan
and this is me
We play our own rules.
Play E, smack K
*dunno wat*
One day, when we were extending, we were raided by CNB.
*something like* None of my brothers came to visit me.
Then I discover that my biggest enemy is no someone else, but myself.

Finally, the A n P practical test is over. I don't want to sound ya ya, but i thought the paper was easy. I think it's cos there was sufficient time for us to think and yah, i'm happy. Hope to do well for this and keep up my grade for A n P. Hee~!~!
Tuesday, March 15, 2005
Two days to the bloody worst paper of all time. I'm damn freaked about the A n P practical. Damn stressed cos it was the only paper i've failed last year. I'm pushing extra hard this time round. Anyway, I've scored pretty well for my mid-sem, quite happy with my resutls. Yeah! I've got a bad feeling prac will screw things up! Argh!

I'm as blind as a bat when i'm without my specs or contact lens which is now, so if there's any major error in my touch typing. This blog entry is prolly going to be rubbish. Anyway, why am I not wearing my visual aids? Well, i'm dong my tomato mask from the Face Shop. Hmmm... Claims to control oil on the face. I hope it works.
Went to the airport to study A n P with darling today. Not bad progress, it's pretty fun to study at the airport when i'm not feeling sleepy and when i'm fueled with lots of caffine in my system.
Finally when for a run after like a day of non-activity. Quire a good run today, air was good, which meant I didn't feel like i'm choking. And yar, managed a good stride for like almost 2 click, maybe 1.5....
So how's the typing? I;m not going check it. So we'll see how it goes. All i can see is the orange button below the typing box which is "Post and Pub;osh"

Ate at Red Star with Alvin in the morning today. And headed down to the IT SHow at Suntec. Think it's the first time i've been to an IT show. There's ALOT ALOT of ppl and the show was HUGE! Amazing! But I wasn't really in the mood so i just hunted around for my thumbdrive which costed me 37 bucks for a 256MB one. Not bad deal. Anyway, met Ming Fei and Marvin there.
Went to Charlene's mum's wake after everything. I was a sad event but I'm glad Charlene is ok and not like all broken down and stuff.
My deepest condolences...
School wasn't really fantastic today. One sucky little 2 hour lecture. Then no more lectures for the rest of the day. Hit the gym after that. Gyming was good, I'm determined to do something about my body for good! Haha. Really want to loose fats! Gain some muscle!

Ever waited for a bus and thought to yourself: "Why is the bus service so against me? everytime i want to take this bus it never appears. And see! The bus that I waited for so long that day keep coming and coming!" Hmmm...
Then think again, do you ever just touch the bus stop and your bus arrives? I'm sure it has, but when such situation happen, will you still think about the bus service hating you? I bet not.
Point is, most of us selectively think about such things. And yah, it's the same case for the lady drivers being lousy. When we see a male driver accident on the road or a male reckless driver, we'll just say what's his problem and we'll get on with it. BUT if it's a lady! they'll surely say "WAh! Char boh kayu! Women cannot drive, ya dah ya dah..." But when we see a lady driving on the road without problems, will you think "Lousy women?"

It's been a long long long day. I wasn't intending to step out of the house till really late today. But yah, I promised huishan that i'll teach her her A n P so yah, moved my ass off my house and headed down to Dhoby Ghaut to meet her and taught her her stuff.
Time went by, I was getting tired, Shan was damn saturated and yah decided to leave. I was going to meet Kok at Bugis when darling called sounding really serious and all. I was like shit, something's wrong. BTW, today was the first time she drove out alone (without her dad). Haiz, she was really in some sort of accident. Her friend in the back seat opened the car door to get out of the car. But some cock motorcyclist tried to squeeze through and knocked into the door and fell! How amazing, LEFT SIDE! WTF was the motorcyclist thinking off?! Well, all these drama left one stunted girl and one crying girl. Darling was the stunted one. The car was very very lightly scratched. No one was hurt, but darling was too traumatised, I had to rush down to accompany her during her drive back home. Both darling and I feel really bad about having to pang seh Kok.
Eh bro, really no choice... Sorry.

Hmmm... Last weekday of the holidays! Been a pretty restful week. But haiz, sucks man, i'm beginning to turn into my holiday nocturnal mode. So I'm training myself to wake up early and sleep early (er). Trying to sleep by 12 and force myself to get out of bed by like 9. Siong, but no choice.
Met Kok Keng to play arcade today. Played Outrun 2 SP , great game, loads of adrenaline rush and the crazy races are damn fun. Anyway... Went over to Plaza Singapura later, was supposed to meet my mum to buy cordless phone for the house, but instead my mum decided to buy replacement batteries for the cordless phone that's spoilt. She doesn't seem to understand the point that if the battery is dead, it wouldn't be chargable and won't even have the juice to power up the phone. Women...
After that, I went downstairs to meet darling at The Face Shop. she was there with Junting and Fiona. They like went crazy buying skin care products. But yah lah, girls need to maintain their skin from young, or else, we'll be able to see the massive Tokyo train network on their faces 10 years down the road. *Evil grin*
Saw Hitch yesterday. It's been so long since i've watched a movie on opening day. Good show, really nice and heart warming towards the end. The whole idea of date doctor is GREAT!
Anyway there's one interesting part about the show. I'm sure you people have seen the trailer so yah, i'm not going to spoil anything, don't worry. There's this part where Will Smith got and allergic reaction, his face was swollen on the right most of the time until this particular scene when the swell was on the left. Interesting... go take a look yourself.
HeeHee...

http://allpsych.com/psychology101/Hey all DR coursemates. The above link is an online text for psychology. It's not really detailed (for Paul Leveque) but I feel it's good enough for our psycho module. Happy Studying!

Met darling to study then go buy my bag today. I like my new bag! Yeah! Finally got a backpack to spread the load throughout my back and shoulders yes, both shoulders... So happy. Studied for the psycho test with darling, it seem to be pretty easy but i'm not going to push my luck, need to study.

Waffle Day! Wat a good day, went to eat at Far East Gelare. Met darling, Shuhan and Peifen to go Gelare together. I've introduced the girls to waffling on tuesday and they are quite into it and i'm glad! Anyway, Shuhan and Peifen looked very lady like today, wah, always see them in jeans and t-shirt in school but it's the first time i see them in like going out clothes. Nice... Saw a nice DC bag today. But DC is such a pasar malam brand and like sec school kids are carrying them. Think i'll stick to the Deuter bag idea.
Saw that bag a number of times. was actually deciding if i should buy a Crumpler or the Deuter. I like the Crumpler bag's design and it's the one that Hanif (Nornie's bf) carries. But the colors available ain't nice. The Deuter's color is nice and the design is good too. Hmmm... should be buying it tomorrow, i've been needing a backpack since a long time ago. I've been struggling with sling bags and my body glove one side sling bag. These one side sling bags are giving me major shoulder sores and back ache.

Holidays... Celebrate...!
Went to Tampines Mall to watch Howl's Moving Castle yesterday. Good movie, great animation, alot of cool classic japanese anime stuff. Love the show, but i got a little lost with the final moments of the show. Someone explain leh, but than again, how can a man ever understand what a woman is thinking off? Anyway...
Walked around the fair outside Tampines mall, ate alot of unhealthy food, but ya, I'm happy lah. Then went to Bedok 85 to eat bak chor mee, noodle didn't taste as good yesterday, think the mood was a contributing factor, but yeah... Good day out with darling.
Met Clare for supper at St. Georges, ate satay. It's made by a chinese man. BUT the interesting part is the chicken satay. All his chicken satay is made of chick thigh meat! Super smooth and crunchy and juicy... Marvellous, chinese satay at it's best. Just second to pork satay at Whampoa! I'm sorry muslim friends....
BTW, saw Strawby on the job yesterday. She looks so serious behind that desk! Haha... Too bad didn't get to talk to her...
