The final countdown

alrighty! its showdown time..

just had my morning-pick-me-up lipton tea and brekkie.. going to do some information augmentation (dunno if there is such a 'term'..got the inspiration from 'breast augmentation' heh heh so random i know!! :p) now before the exam at 8.30.

jia you jia you dreamy! last one liao... you mustnt lose steam at this very last minute!!!

GO GO GO!!!

Whatever happens tomorrow..

i know i have tried my best....

die la.. i cant seem to concentrate on my studying!!! i feel like im in holiday mode le.... cannotttt!!!! this last paper is worth 50% of my module.. cannot give up!!!

dreamy go log out of FB and turn to page 1 of ur notes... MOVE. NOW.

haiz.

2 more days to go!!!

Today's paper is unbelievable!!! I completely had no idea of what to expect for this paper cos its supposed to be on 'clinical reasoning'.. Well, even if you are not in the medical line, from the term itself, you can probably already tell how abstract that is...

Clinical reasoning (verb): one's ability to reason clinically

HAHA.

So what kind of questions did they ask??? Well,a few on theory..a few on case scenarioes and.. this is the best part.. a few on principles!!! WIN LIAO!!! :(

so dreamy started bullshitting and writing a whole load of crap n nonsense..i rem there was one question worth about 5 marks n i actually wrote a full page of 'principles' for the tutor lo.. so proud of myself!!! HAHAHA..

i think my tutor is going to be so disgusted with the 'quality' of my answers when she marks my paper..

ANYWAY i don wan to think about it.. its done. sealed. finished. now to try to focus on my next n last paper... after some rest n chilling of cos!! keke.. have i mentioned that i have d/l all the remaining episodes of House MD season 6???? soooo tempted to watch k.. BUT i managed to control myself on saturday (finished d/l on friday night when i was zZzzz...) and yesterday.. hehe.. dreamy deserves a pat on her back... ;)

Ajar ajar hwaiting!!!!

The day has arrived..

i will be brave...

knowledge = power ??

The person who said 'knowledge is power' obviously doesnt know what he/she is talking about... either that or i happen to fall into the unfortunate group of 0.0000001% of pple who defy this saying.. =(

dreamy u cannot give up!!!!

My comfort food

yeah..hot spicy juicy chicken...

YUMZ to the max!!!!

yupz thats right.. i bought 5 pieces. =p ate 3 tonight... super full but yumz!! topped with 2 glasses of orange-pineapple juice..one word to describe --> awesome!!

3 more days to go!!!!!

I look like a dumpling!! AHHHHH!!!!!! =(


update: no surprise.. see above.

Special 'friend' awards

Microwave is my new best friend. It takes care of my daily 3 meals, makes sure that i always have something warm and comforting to fill my tummy and is ever so efficient.

My other good friend is my trusty kettle. Never ever complains even if i dun finish up all 1.8litres of water it has already boiled just a few hours earlier, before boiling another pot again so that i have hot water to make my coffee/tea..It keeps its peave and say naught about wasting electricity and resources.

Ahh..and how can i forget about my silence-is-gold muffy ear phones?? always by my side be it good times or bad times.. bringing me good entertainment when i want it and also giving me peace when i need it the most. although its not always possible especially when inconsiderate pple come out to play, i know deep in my heart that it has tried its best..

Ahhh..what will i do without you my friends..

7 more days to go!!

taking a short break from studying to write this post.. i realise im really getting older le (haha, how come this sounds so familar??? i think the blog entries that ive been writing lately revolve around the same few topics.. stress, stress, more stress, fat, fat, fatter, lack of sleep, severe lack of sleep, eye bags, tired, brain dead.. yada yada) anyway..yah concentration span is not as long as before.. and also very very easily distracted.

i discovered something amazing about myself today! I can actually fall asleep even after drinking coffee barely 1 hour before. WOW. okay, maybe its not hardcore coffee..just nescafe 3-in-1 kind..but in the past (not so distant past actually.. i.e. the first few months that i was here) i would be buzzing with energy for at least a couple of hours...and worse if i took tea.. wun be able to fall asleep if i drink it anytime after 1pm.. now i think my body is like.. huh wats tat? coffee? aiya..just like water..

Omg im seriously going bonkers. now i am imagining my body as a cartoon character!!! *faints*

Separate note.. just received my stipend for the remaining half of the year.. yay!! got 'ammunition' to go play n make merry after exams le!!

i survived OSPE!!!

yippeee!!! made some booboos but i didnt let my nerves get the better of me.. so proud of myself!!! :)

OSPE OSPE Bo Pi Pi

haha. i think im going crazy le. one moment, im singing 'i will survive'...then next moment, there is this hip 'ospe ospe bo pi pi' chant going on my head.. i think i shld change my postal address to IMH. :S

i just realised that im actually sort of keeping an exam log book..or diary if you prefer..haha.. think i will have a great laugh when i re-read all my june posts say 5 yrs down the road...

Only managed to sleep for 4 hours last night..not that i didnt want to sleep more..but it took half hour or so for me to fall asleep..and then my crazy body decided to wake up 1 hour ahead of my preset alarm time.. so im sort of twiddling my thumbs whilst waiting for the time to pass... HAHA i wish!!! :(

watever it is..i must stay calm..

the person who maintains her composure wins the race...

a glimpse of my pathetic life...

i am so pathetic.. i actually verbalised a 'yay' to myself when i refreshed Coles supermarket catalogue page at exactly 2300hrs and saw the updated coming-week's specials.. (it was still the old catalogue at 2259hrs)

Yes i know. Im real pathetic.

This is like the lowest point in my life i think. To be remotely excited about the specials at my nearest supermarket. I can think of so many other things that i would rather be excited about... oh boy, there are heaps!! like the end of my exams for one..

but until that day arrives (in 8 days!! counting down by the second!!)..i shall just be contented with the excitement from the cheap grocery discounts...

hmm...broccoli is only $2.98/kg...i should get some...

Just how much can ur brain absorb??

mm..i dun think im hitting saturation point yet.. i feel like i can go further but my brain feels soooo tired... and my eyes are burning...and there is like a headache perpectually constant at the front of my head...oh boy..

felt great this morn when i woke up..went to bed really early last night at 1130pm cos my body just cudnt take it anymore..and slept till 7am this morning..could feel my body literally thanking me for making that decision.lol.. then went to sch n practised for 5 hours... not feeling so great now.. all i wan to do right now is tuck myself under the blankets n snooze away...but cannot! got so much to read/prepare for tmr.. need to keep going...

need to just keep going..

people who do not keep their promises are simply not worth your time and effort...

OSPE in 2 days!!

im going to do so badly for this practical exam!! so much things i haven 'avatarised' *see below for explanation* yet!!!

am i not working hard enough??? why still got so many things i dunno?? :(

i feel so demoralised..

*avatarised is a term created by a group of lets-practise-till-we-puke classmates (dreamy & 2 frens) that holds the meaning of 'an action/skill that is so well practised that advanced brain synapses have been formed permanently.' *

tick tock tick tock

Im in a race.
Mr Time is the hare while im the tortoise.

I know slow n steady wins the race is the morale of the story... but somehow i cant but feel that im just prodding along alittle tooooo slowly. arghh.. *tries to push dreamy's fat ass along*
Reassessment: 0.00000000000001 mm forward. -_-" haiz.

9 more days to go!!! (<--- we are down to single digit countdown!!)
O.M.G.

"..i believe that hard work will pay off.."

Famous words from a friend..
if only i can frame it up and display on my wall for added motivation..

come on dreamy.. dont cave in to the sleepy monster!!!

Rollercoaster

today is such a rollercoaster ride for me..

Was originally feeling really happy cos i got back my marks for my anatomy assignment and presentation.. got 25/30 for assignment and 17/20 for presentation.. so much higher that wat i expected and hoped for!! Was telling myself that if i would be so happy if i can get 20/30 for assignment and 12-13/20 for presentation :)) All my hardwork has paid off!!
but i also developed a super mei-you-zi-qi thought.. hee which is that now i only need to get 30/50 for my coming written exam to have an overall 72/100 grade for the subject.. hee.. definitely not so stressed now.. :) but the stress is defintiely on for coming thur's OSPE (practical exam) and the written exam on monday (that focus on clinical reasoning).. but nvm enjoy this brief moment of happiness first!

And seriously, true to the word, the happiness is really very brief lo.. I lost my plastic microwavable cup in the library cafe just now during lunch!!! Someone nicked it!! :( and it still has my hot lipton tea inside.. i didnt even drink a single sip loh.. SIGH. why the thief so cheapo!! cup also wan to steal.. does he noe that i need that cup very much?? its the cup that i drink all my hot tea/coffee from.. and i drink alot now during this exam period.. :((

im soooo miffed! hurmph!

11 more days to go

omg..im so dying for a massage..
i wanna go BKK!!! :((

Restless Sunday

im so sleepy. had to splash cold water on my face to jolt myself awake. :(

I wonder if its possible that one day i will be so tired that i will not even hear the alarm??? haha..i actually felt a jolt of happiness at that thought.
-_-"

They say the state of a person's room reflects the state of the person's mind.
hmmm... *have a quick scan of my room*
Conclusion: My mind is in a state of mess and chaos.

This entry is so random.
Reason: Theory proven that i need more than 5-6 hours of sleep to formulate cohesive thoughts.

Gooooo sleeeppp...i mean go studyyyyy dreamy. NOW. :(

memorise memorise memorise

the no. of things that im required to memorise for anatomy n pathology is CRAZY!!!!
Its taking me 1 hr to memorise 1 page of lecture notes... and i have hundreds of pages!!! :((

How did i do it in secondary sch?? how did i manage to get 97% for history and 88% for english literature exams last time arh ?? im pretty certain that the amount of things to memorise (8 subjects cumulative) is way way much more than the mountain of notes lying on my desk now.. but how come it feels like im trying to conquer mount everest now with no water n oxygen???? i think at least half of my brain cells must have undergone programmed cell death since then... :((
BRAIN i need you to wake up now!!!

13 more days to go

13 more days to my freedom..i just need to get through this agonising period of 13 days.. in fact, exactly one week from now, i wud have finished my practical exam (the nervewrecking, teethbreaking adrenalinegushing 5 x 7min test stations part 2).. oh god. i cant imagine.
And i thought this week would go by more slowly than last week but it went by so quickly!! and i haven been very productive yet.. oh no!!
I rem exactly one week ago, this time, i was preparing for my final presentation of the semester.. where did all the time go??? i blame facebook. it literally sucks the daylight (and nightlight) out of you..hmm..

on a separate note, i noticed today that my hair has crossed my collar bones le. History making moment. From now on, every inch is a new record. haha.. this means it averages out to be about 0.5inch growth per month? eh normal growth rate is supposed to be 1inch per month rite?!?! what the! im not only losing hair faster than normal, im also growing hair slower than normal.. So much sacrifices to make just for one additional certificate under my belt.. makes one wonder if its worth it..

ANYWAY. enough of all the whining and groaning (sorry, u prob will be reading alot more of whining n groaning for the next coming 13 days.. with the likelihood of increasing intensity and whin-i-ness. so if u wish to skip that, just come back to the blog after the 23th june. You have been warned. In big prints somemore hor. :D)

Where did i stop? Oh yes hair. no no.. my long beautiful mane (some experts prostulate that by lavishing praises on ur 'body parts' u will encourage the release of 'happy' hormones which will be beneficial. heh. you believe?? :D) So going by the rate of 0.5inch per month and given that ive another 5 months here..think my hair mane should reach mid shoulder blade region by that time ba.. go back definitely got to do intensive treatment i wud expect.. otherwise my colleagues/seniors confirm plus guarantee chop sure will 'niao' me at work.

Why does thinking about wat to do with my hair seems more fun than reading the notes in front of me??

Just how badly do you want it?

exactly 14 more days to go before the end of my agony and the start of my break. Been finding it really difficult to sit down n concentrate on the mountain-high pile of notes to absorb into my teeny brain. Need to keep asking myself 'how badly do you want it?' throughout the day to keep myself motivated. Im actually quite surprised that this sentence actually has quite an effect on me. goes to show how badly i want this..
Ajar ajar hwaiting!!!

The secret to non-puffy eyes unrevealed..

Splash icy cold water on your eyes a couple of times when you wake up and before you go to bed.
Repeat this a few times throughout the day for chronic hardcare conditions.
Success guaranteed! :)

AHHHHH

Im going crazy~!!!!
so tired... :((
