Had dinner at timbre @ the arts house ytd! III (haha inside joke [:) Great ambience, wonderful company, &mouth-watering food!! Such a fantastic place that some people went high and all red even before drinking. WHAT A BEER HEADDDDD! haha





They've got pretty decor there and you can feel the "river breeze" (hahah partly due to the big fan right in front of us too) and the presence of sir stamford raffles (LOL. he was right at the entrance). You got to try their roasted duck pizza!! Love how the shitake mushrooms and duck breast goes tgt!! &the stuffed mushrooms were great as well [: the char siew pizza (okay i forgot what its called but there's just a lot of char siew on top) was kinda tasteless after we ate the buffalo wings. Ordered some house specials cocktails with interesting names like pirates of the carribean, choco choco..and I ordered shrek 3! it didnt turn out to be green (lol!) and I think it pales in comparison to pirates? Couldnt really taste anything except the vodka.

Listened to the live performance by the band called 53a I think. Well, its not exactly a band, just two of them taking turns to sing and this guy playing the drum (yes just a drum) in the centre and we thought he looked spastic! (whoops!) They were pretty good, just that the girl had a sore throat or sth like that so she sounded a lil husky haha. It started to get noisy as a bunch of caucasians came and sat right in front of us, in addition to the girls behind who spoke like they were at the market.

So we left for central mall to get ice-cream at azabu sabo! I'm proud to say that I DIDNT EAT AT ALL! hahaha whoever is getting me as a patient for the next practical test should thank me okay! I'm really trying very hard to stop gaining weight HAHAHA.

Okay, thats about all for the wonderful night! I've no choice but to blog about the food and place because I'm not allowed to post the photos (hahahaha!) But its a night worth remembering & I must say that I had fun! Thanks for the dinner [[[[: haha I suddenly remember the us-china guy! LOLOL.



I'm backkkkk.
[info]swinechu


Hello everyone, I'm backkkk! I honestly forgot about this place until some kind soul reminded me to update, so here I am!

First of all, I'm doing fine in school though I admit there was a period of time when I was stressed and stuff and I practically flared up at any random person who sms-ed me when I was in a bad mood. My sincere apologies here!! Yep, I did regret the decision to take the local route instead of going overseas and I hated myself for not reading up on the differences between the two. As a result, I was worried sick about not making it to uni and I basically drilled the fact that I have to get As for all modules into my brain. Then I started feeling wrong about everything. When I started off with the course, I was really excited and happy to learn about muscles, body mechanisms and everything else, but gradually my aims began to change, starting off every test and project with getting that A in mind. &I envied jillian and charissa who are going straight to australia to study..why didn't I make that choice a few months back? But I am glad to say that I was kind of relieved after attending the scholarship talk/ Q&A session! It was reassuring to know that all scholars have made it to the conversion year so far and hopefully I can make it as well! For those who are interested to know, I'm managing quite well (even in malay haha!) and I just hope that I can maintain this all the way [:

Alright, that was a whole chunk of ranting, so I shall flood the page with pictures of PT03 now!


learning how to put on the protective gear


my all time fave[:

why do i eat every minute of my sch life away? so much that helina's impression of me is "eat alot fullstop"

I WAS DOING MY PRACTICAL VERY SERIOUSLY.


Well, I was done with the practical, so...


hahaha mask-fitting. member of kkklan?

date night!

Actually I'm really thankful that I got into pt03 (omg so mushy!) but I'm really really proud to say that we still go for lunch/ move around as a class up till this day [:

I am honoured to know all of you,

-for chiong-ing up to the lib to get the books we're supposed to read up on and then photocopy for the whole class
-for offering texts and notes you get from outside
-for following hk dramas and discussing the latest episodes with me in class everyday (haha thanks for contributing to the rapid growth of me and charissa's club)
-for niao-ing me and coming up with millions of nicknames for me (personal fave is still babi pisang xp)


Thank you, pt03! (omg i seriously hope no one from pt03 will read this)

Last but not least, visit this place more often just in case I decide to update all of a sudden!! Omg I dunno why but I'm exceptionally high tonight [:

Hi everyone! Thanks for all your concern, I'm really liking this course. We had our first lab session for human anatomy today! Which means....I touched human bones and observed cadavers!! &soon we'll be touching them and learning to pick out the different parts. I'm so glad there's no dissection involved tho [:

Lesson learnt today: Remember to wash your hands after lab. (I realised the entire class didn't and all of us touched the bones. LOL.)

Anw, I stoned through physiology lecture because I didn't understand majority of the things tan was talking about! &coincidentally, I was sitting beside people who didn't take biology for As. So we made retarded guesses and ended up mistaking the specialised membrane surfaces as different parts of the membrane instead of the surfaces of the cells. Okay you don't need to understand what I just said, but can someone kindly donate your bio notes to me pleaseeeeeee? Or better still, give me tuition! I don't want to be struggling for the rest of the lectures /:

Thats all for today! I have to go and mug (omg this is so scary and its only the second day of school..but everyone else is mugging!) Congrats to those who got the scholarship as well! (though I'll prefer you guys to stay in sg of course)

First day of school
[info]swinechu
As promised, I'm here to blog about the first day of school, guanyu!

It didn't start off that well because I decided to take 852 to school and there was an incredible jam along bukit timah, so I was late. LOL. Not late for lessons but late in meeting the class to collect semester 1 notes. SO, I won't have notes for the next 2 days (because the shop didn't print enough. no its not a punishment, chai) which explains why I slept/ stoned through lectures. I honestly tried very hard to keep awake by copying everything down but it just sucks to be without notes -.-

The class was great though! I think we're the more united ones in school cos we even went for lunch as a class [: Got to know more people and tried to match faces to names abit. Some of them are really entertaining! &those whom I didn't have a very good impression of initially kinda changed how I feel about them..Well, I always end up being closer friends with people whom I don't really like right at the start. Oh someone already withdrew from the course (Yes its only the first day!)

Then I went with a few others to meet our mentor individually and he asked alot of weird questions which I'm obviously unable to answer after only spending ONE day in school!! But he's quite cute cos he's really shy and he speaks very very softly! And he lives near me! If only its my other classmate who stays nearby, then I can hitch a ride to school everyday!! Haha.

The good news for the day is, mohh finally called me while I was waiting to meet my mentor. YAY thankyou! Mrs Chu was elated when I told her! But on the down side, I only realised TODAY that I need to be within top 10% or somewhere there in order to do the degree conversion.  Thats equivalent to being the top 8 in the batch /: Feel really stressed all of a sudden cos I don't want to just end up with a diploma! Must really study hard (now I wish people like rw will sit beside me and wake me up during lectures and keep asking me to study)

I think thats about it for the first day! The class is really hardworking from what I observed (I heard a grp went to the library to study after sch), so I must work hard too!

Anw, my idol got into the finals! Another reason to celebrate, but she seems really upset that all her friends are eliminated /: Hope she'll cheer up and rock the stage during the finals!!

ps. Jason! I didn't get to see the shuai ge /: &I dreamt of the finger being chopped off (from monga) last night!!

FASS/ SSH
[info]swinechu

I got accepted by NUS! Oh I applied for FASS by the way. But thats not really good news because this means that NUS is processing all the applications and I am going to lose some classmates if they get accepted into uni.

Anw, it was NYP's SSH orientation day ytd! Saw alot of familiar faces there, like primary school friends, rvians and I'm lucky to have found ONE hwa-chongian in the whole level. LOL. So I have a zhangde-ren, an rvian, and a hwa-chongian in my class! Quite lucky eh? But jillian is leaving for aust after 6 months (T.T no more hc smoke), poh gek may be leaving for NUS if she's accepted and a few others may be leaving as well. Awww hope the class size doesn't shrink too much!

The briefing ytd made the course sound really difficult and challenging, hope I don't fail any modules and clinicals!! At least the guys in class are quite matured unlike our childish kiddy ones in 6B (ppl like clement law..) and poor jiaxu only has ONE guy in her class. Seriously endangered species HAHA.

Thanks for those who wished me luck/ asked about my orientation! Don't worry, I WILL survive (haha!) and I will NOT dye my hair/ smoke/ whatever not. Thank you ^^
 
I shall end off the post with bandys! That very expensive dinner T.T

Urgh my mum is asking about the scholarship every single day. Its just frustrating and why is it so.........difficult to please her?! Well, its really out of my control whether I get the scholarship anot. Furthermore, there are so many others out there fighting for that place! You told me that its alright if I don't get it cos you can pay for my last year in Australia anyway and you even tried persuading me not to apply so that I won't have to serve that bond till I'm 28. And what now? You're bugging me every single moment you see me and telling me how wonderful it would be if I get that scholarship and blahblahblahblah. Ahhhhh I really can't do anything if they don't offer me the scholarship/ even bother telling me that I didn't make it. What more do you want me to do when I've already given up the tried and tested route because of you. Stop stressing me out and making me grumpy everyday pleaseeeeeeeeeeee. Paramore always sounds nice when I'm feeling like that. &the song pressure is playing in the background now..how apt!

My funny valentine
[info]swinechu

This was the episode shown in taiwan last friday and I thought the song was awesome! (not only because I support her..but I thought it was pretty decent for a contestant.)

Its such a popular song with so many renditions but I've never heard it before (hmmm) and I don't really like jazz also. But I watched all the different versions on youtube and I still prefer this newer version especially this one sang by melinda doolittle on American Idol. Enjoy!!
 

I tried learning the song on guitar but there's a hell lot of chords that I've not learned and I can't do barre chords at all! I need an accoustic guitarrrrrrr.
Anw, the medical examination today was a total joke (so embarrassinggggggg to.....) but so far so good, nth's wrong! As long as the blood test turns out fine, I'm starting school!
