THE EXAMS

The last lecture of cardiopulmonary systems ended with:

When you learn to appreciate the wonders of Human Physiology,
you will also begin to appreciate what our bodies can do,
and to live our lives in such a way that will preserve the body we exist in.
Human physiology, life and existence are inseparable.

A/Prof Fabian Lim
Exercise Physiologist


And yes, yours truly no nuts of this fucking module even after 13 weeks of slogging. All I can said is Human physiology, sad life and predicted C grade are inseparable. Fuck it.

I will see what I can do in the next one week. =(

Study Equations

Current Mood: Lethargic
Current Song: Way Back into Love
Current Read: Food Microbiology Practical Notes

Sigh. Exactly four more weeks to the finale, and I'm still feeling lethargic and haven't got the drive to study as yet. I really hate the idea that I will soon be leading a monotonous lifestyle of "camping" in the library for 8am - 10pm for the entire one month. But then again, I think I will hate myself more for the exam results if I choose to slack my way through till the exam. To cheer things up, the Big-A and Peiyan has already piled up many biscuits and snacks in their locker in preparation for our "stay-in" period.

Equation 1:
A: Got food + study = Sad
B: No food + study = Manic depression
(So yeah, I will pile up some tidbits too, heh)

Some friends and I always like to marvel how smart some of our schoolmates really are, and getting ourselves emo for being not-so-smart. But then again, I think we are all born to be good in some ways or another, probably just not on the studying side. Nonethelss, we will still have to get down to do the dirty work of studying. So yeah, just be it.

Equation 2:
A: Smart people + studying = Grade A
B: Smart people + no studying = Grade A-
C: Not-so-smart people + Studying = Grade B+ / B / B- / C+
D: Not-so-smart people + no studying = N.A.
(Since the last method is non applicable, I will have to study!)

Some friends and I used to reminisce about how lucky (or smart) we used to be when we were in polytechnics or colleges, and wonder how it all turned out this way. But i guess let's not stir things up to make ourselves sadder; and buck up for the remaining semesters. 我们可以的!

Equation 3:
(only apply to those who fall in equation 2c)
A: Got good luck in examination = Grade A-
B: A little bit of luck in examination = Grade B+ / B
C: No luck in examination: Grade B- / C+

Wish me some (good) luck! =(

The Finale Once More

Current Mood: Relax
Current Song: Have you Ever by Brandy
Current Situation: Cracking the brains with Respiratory Physio Notes


Yet another semester ending. One more term paper, two more practical reports, the final exams, and I will be done for the semester. Presentation for research project was over on Tuesday. And after the whole research project, I'm more or less concluded that I won't stay in the laboratory for good in the future. I just can't forsee myself "talking" to the cells and DNA everyday, and holding the pipette till the day I retired. Then again, it contradicts with my intention of furthering a master degree in Canada or US after I graduate. Haha. The path ahead seems so far and unclear.

Met up with some poly mates since Darren came back from Vietnam to visit his girlfriend (awww sweet). It was rather an impromptu meet-up. Nevertheless, it was still great to see them after countless of months. And you will be surprised to see how the girls changed when they have stepped into the working force. Audrey got a good job and still seems to be blissfully in love with her boy, BL became a pretty OL (haha, it rhythmes hor), and Butt seems to have this "i wanna to marry soon" look (haha, opps). Let's hope the New Zealand plan I had with Butt and Alo next year will be a successful one.

It will be marvelous to drive in a mini car with lovely people and listening to some old songs, and to be surrounded with green scenery, beautiful flowers, and cute animals.

Back to BASIC

Current Mood: Happy
Current Song: Warwick Ave by Duffy
Current Situation: Fucking the UROPS report

Something simple for the blog.

So sister had gave birth to a boy on the 7th instead. He had a nose and overall face shape of his dad, and lips of my sis's. Can't really determine his eyes yet, I only saw him opened them once!!! He was weighed 3.310kg, and his and sis's room number is 3310. So the family bet quite a few hundred bucks on this number for Sat and Sun 4D! Haha. Here's his blog link: Bryce's Little World


Little Bryce sleeping.


He finally opened his eyes a little on the 2nd day.

Out of the 3 tests I gone through so far, today's test seems to be the worst. I misread the last question wrongly and is like 20%!!! Damn the common pathway besides the extrinsic and intrinsic! But sigh, just be it la. Piling hopes for the other modules cause Human Physiology is totally out for me! On random, I think i should really learn thai next semester or after graduate. =)


One more month to the EXAM! Hooray! -_-"

Random Updates

Now Kok Guan's gone, and hopefully I will see a better him in a year or two. =)

And the other two handsome ones, come back guys for a diving session together!!! I miss the sun, the beach, the tan, the water, the fishes, and the escapism from reality.

Been on sleeping pills (again) these days.
Can't sleep. Always thinking about what had happened, and what will happen next.
I came to a point in time that I know I will bring it across to you with an expressionless face, a still-aching heart, and a body with no more soul. I just can't smile (like I used to) again.

Tests coming soon, reports piling up, and when everything done with, the exam follows. Sigh, wake me up when the semester is over. =)

And that little nephew of mine is coming on 6th Oct 2008. =) Waiting anxiously for his arrival. Finally a happy issue over the rest.
