Friday the Thirteenth

Heh abit early for halloween, but since it's Friday the 13th (and halloweeen is right smack in the middle of study week b4 exams)... me n my friends had a dress-up party! it was pretty cool... cos like practically everyone took the trouble to dress-up....

And what did i dress as? a slutty prostitute. I'm not kidding. HAHAHHAHA. well everything i wore was borrowed from my friend (of course i dont have anything remotely slutty-like)... ok no pix this time cos i need to get them from my friends, but i promise to put some up soon. well just to give u a taste, i wore this black strapless skimpy back-revealing top... a black tutu skirt, a pair of black stockings, a pink feather boa, and a feathered fan. yes i know it's shocking. HAHAHA bet no one has ever seen me look like that.

All in all, we had: a devil, an angel, a witch, 2 innocent school girls, a punk school girl, a housewife, an arabian princess, A GUY WEARING A BIKINI TOP, a pimp, and of course me the slutty prostitute.

it was a blast and half way thru we decided we needed milk for our baileys... so we all went fully dressed to 7-ll. and since i was the sexy traffic-stopping gal i was assigned the job to try and get us a free bottle of milk. And ok so i was laughing half the time i fanned and smiled at the cashier while passing him the milk.. but everyone else in the store was amused except him. the guy didnt even smile! in fact he looked scared. haha maybe i terrify him. well i guess that's also because the guy was asian. the whites seem to be more light-hearted abt these stuff. in the end i still paid for the milk. HAHA.

bloody hell the whole time i'm the one being asked to do stupid stuff. ok stupid thing number 2. my friend dared me to go into the adult shop n ask if they're hiring. after everyone agreed to enter the shop with me i entered and asked the bemused cashier "are u hiring anyone tonight" .. and of course(thank goodness) he said no, sorry. ok so now my fren owes me a drink for that.

another stupid thing. posed with a signpost pole(one with just me leg-hugging it, one with me n my pimp)

last stupid thing. last traffic light back to the apt... i strutted across the road and did that stupid sultry eye-batting sexy-smirking fan-fanning thing at one of the cars that stopped at the traffic light.

OH MAN PEER PRESSURE. HAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHA.

seriously i think only bikini man will understand what's happening. i think he's very lucky that he left for another appointment b4 we left for 7-11... if not he will be questioned abt his manhood everyday if pple see him on the streets in a bikini top. HAHAHA. heh who ask me to be the slutty one now i got TONNES of blackmail photos n videos. n they offered to do the powerpoint slide thingy on my wedding. HAHAHA.

but seriously it was sooo fun.. we also like played drinking games n stuff but just seeing every dressed up n having fun was really cool. shld do stuff like this more often!!!!!!!!!

but sigh. back to studies again. physio prac EXAM one week from now. SHIT. other papers 3 weeks from now. double shit. MUST STUDY!

Random Ramblings II

I'm feeling happy not because things are going good but because things are not going bad. Nothing special has happened but nothing that makes me wanna scream out loud has happened either. am i being cryptic? hell yeah. i'm just saying that the days pass normally without drama and that makes me happy.. i dont need things to be going my way to make me happy. even if they dont go my way, as long as they dont go against me i'm fine. wat the hell am i talking abt? i dont even know.

oh man this is the most random rambling i've ever done. but it sums up wat i'm feeling now. i'm randomly happy n i dont even know why.

Random Ramblings

Ok so school's been on for a week now and i think i'm still in holiday mode. Just came back from cutting up dogs again.. and i can just imagine swi's horrified face

Neko has grown huge since i last saw him... he's so heavy n fat now... n he's only like 6-7 months old.. maumau is still petite n fiesty(when cutting claws)...

i've got so many projects n assignments to do this sem... and the one i'm especially dreading is the damn individual 4000 word essay on animal management.. not to mention the anatomy project, VPH assignment, physio assignment, integrated learning wk case study... ack school just start n already bombarded by deadlines...

hrm to get or not to get (a car that is)... it would be really convinient plus if i do get i'll be sharing with Jo... so the cost will be much lesser... but. my mum just bought a new car so i dont really want to spend more of my mum's money... well if i get a job it'll be ok but i dont feel like working while studying... i'm such a lazy bugger that will surely not work out. hm. so . to get or not to get.

oh and i tasted the most disgusting alcoholic drink ever in my life recently.. it was at this jap bar called robot sushi n the drink was called bloody robot. among some of the ingredients in the drink are- wasabi, japanese mayo, worchester sauce, egg yolk(optional). ok at least my fren din add the egg yolk. but it tasted sooooo disgusting.. u know like when u go out n eat swensons or some other restaurant with frens and in the end u pour like chilli sauce, tar tar sauce (basically all the left over stuff) into a glass of water n dare pple to drink it? yes it tastes like that. and it costs A$14 to torture yrself. in the end we played some drinking game to finish that drink. haha.

Back Home Again

Whoa 3 weeks of internet deprivation is no joke. haha yea been spending the last 3 weeks at a farm in perth... it's a really ulu place so me n my friends were pretty 'people-deprived' as well...

But i did have a great time.. it's more like a big holiday than work attachment.. the farmer was really nice n we had alot of free time.. we seemed to be going sight seeing more than doing any farm work... we went whale watching in albany, bushwalking/mountain climbing in the porongorups, visit lotsa wineries, cycling in perth, shopping in perth, visit freemantle market, go horse riding etc etc.. haha

well but i did do stuff at the farm like cow drenching n sheep needling.. it's a pretty big farm with 1500 cows n 13000 sheep.. the sheepdogs are so adorable n active :) i have a large or-cheh on my leg where a sheep rammed into me though.. haha. and my fren got kicked by a cow.. luckily just hit the side of the thigh n not at full strength...
pretty cold at the farm at night.. after the 1st wk we all abandoned our beds to sleep in the living room where the fireplace and heater was.. oh yea and it was a real wood fire n we had to chop our own wood so that was quite cool. the stars are reaaalllly pretty at night plus if u're lucky u can see shooting stars too.. and we have fun going spotlighting at night.. walk ard the farm with a spotlight trying to see animals.. the farmer brought us in his 4WD one day at night to go spotlighting with him in the further regions of the farm n we saw like kangaroos n foxes n rabbits n stuff so that was cool. plus he did wheelies n skidded ard in his car in the swampy areas :P

oh and my fren crashed the van we rented into a fence in the farm. it was raining really heavily and the car skidded a bit over a muddy puddle n she over-compensated n we spun a full round b4 crashing into the fence. luckily it was just a wire fence n we missed the wooden posts n trees just a few metres down the road. i'm definately not letting my parents know or they would just freak out. haha.

well back home now with my doggies so that's really great. saphi was really sick a couple of weeks ago n was super thin and vomitting n stuff again.. and had to be put on drip again.. my poor doggie.. good thing she's much better now :) hmm well hope my 2 wks in s'pore dont fly by too fast!

Exams coming :( :( :(

well. next wk is the last wk of term for me... exams are coming real soon... 6 papers altogether.. plus i haveta hand in 1 project n 1 assignment next wk.. haiz.

well... at least that means holidays are coming!!! heh. well sort of anyway since i'm going to do some farm work in perth.. but the farmer guy offered to take us sight seeing too! yay! (although wat there is to see in perth i have no idea...) and apparently the farm is near some great beaches.. but who the hell goes to the beach in the middle of winter? haha

well.. k so far this course has been really interesting... so much better than last year... although of course our work load is muuuuch more... been handling horses, cows, sheep, dogs, birds so far... plus we had lectures on fish med too! yep aquaculture is a big thing so fish vets are in hot demand now... oh and note to self: cockatiels are evil birds. hahahhaha. they bite like mad when u try to handle them... ok wat am i saying all parrot type birds bite.. including the budgies... finches/canaries are pretty easy to handle except that they're so fragile that it's super easy to kill them.. as long as u have a finger over their chest (u dont even need to press down) they die cause the only way they can move their lungs is if thei chest moves too. abit of side info... interesting huh. ok and the best birds of all to handle are pigeons. they dont peck plus they sit quietly in yr hand.. :)

ok for a change next wk i'll be handling live greyhounds (instead of the dead ones on the disecting table)... but right now i cant look at a greyhound w/o thinking of its friends on our tables :P

hmm wat else.. well the kittycats are growing fast.. getting heavier n bigger.. those cats always wake up at the wrong time. they sleep most of the day.. and at 3 am they are so active and running all over me and pouncing on my hand/feet etc and keeping me from sleeping.. gotta try and make them play at like 10pm instead or 3am.. oh and neko has this habit of jumping into my laundry bag (u know the ikea one) and then maumau will try and pounce/scratch/bite him from the outside. result? very noisy n irritating clawing sound when their claws make contact with the nylon + holes n tears in the bag. haha i'm always picking him out of the bag... so in effect i let the cat out of the bag. oh man that is so lame. i'm gonna whack myself now. WHACK.

ok enuff said... shld start studying :(

Kittycats

hmm yes so here's the link to some pics of my adorable kittens! well they're not adorable all the time.. maumau killed my computer mouse.. as in she bit the wire in 2. yes. sad. and neko scratched my face. yes. sad. but hey! they're kittycats! watcha expect? heh yea they're still cute n cuddly in my book no matter how many times they're claws come out when playing.

they find really weird spots to sleep in. there's this plastic container thingy on the shelve under my table.. and they love to sleep in it. the thing is there's nothing soft or cuddly inside so i have no idea why they like to do that. plus they are forever sitting on the keyboard.. and so i end up with error msgs/weird stuff popping up/etcetc...

hrm my exams will end in june 16.. going off to perth after that.. then coming back to s;pore for a while... my driving test is on june 14 morning and i have an exam paper in the afternoon.. argh! ah well shld be ok la.

life life life.. let's see. what else has been going on... oh i went ktv a few days ago... $35 per head for whole night plus u can order drinks/snacks up to $35 worth so it's pretty good actually. we like camped there til 4am.

k time to go off and watch movie now. :)

KITTENS!!!!!

I BOUGHT 2 KITTENS with my housemate! YES! they are absolutely adorable n very very cheeky. Swi i so bet u wanna see them when u come to melbourne. And my mum will so kill me if she finds out so SHHHHHHHHHH....

ok one kitten is solid black, ard 12 weeks old. he's called neko-sama aka mr blacky cat. in case u din know, neko is jap for cat and sama is something u would say when addressing your boss/master... whick means his translated name is master cat. haha. Neko is a meower.. he meows very often.. and he likes to try and catch your feet when u walk around... n he likes bitting fingers...

The other one is white n black, ard 10 wks old... She's called Mau aka hashbrown. And dont ask me why she's called hashbrown if she isnt brown. haha. we just thought the name was cute. Mau Mau is a purrer. she can just purr all day long... even when u are not petting her. she's abit crazier than neko when playing with toys.. she'll do like forward rolls n backflips.. very acrobatic.. much better jumper than neko too..

yesterday both kitties were sleeping on my bed.. or to be more precise sleeping on me. Mau mau was sleeping on my chest n Neko was sleeping ard my neck-shoulder region. they stay pretty still so it's fine... but when they wake up they play on top of me and wake me up. plus neko will try and eat my finger. haha!!!!

ok will put some photos of them next time :)

What i hate abt the cold weather

I HATE COMING OUT OF THE SHOWER FREEZING MY BUTT OFF WHEN THE WEATHER IS SO COLD.

Ok. that said.. what have i been doing other then freezing my butt off? hmm well i had a prac at werribee last week.. doing horses n cows... we had to learn to use the cattle crush n stuff.. but the er disgusting part was that we had to stick our hand in a cow's mouth and pull out it's tongue.. so that we can get a better look at the inside of the mouth for inpections n stuff... yea the tongue is REALLY strong u need a good grip... and when u take your hand out it's totally covered in cow drool.

the horses were really nice though. my horse was so sleepy it kept yawning.. and it was quite grumpy too... tried to bite my friend a couple of times... plus the horse was really tall. but it was pretty n it let us put on it's harness, lift up it's fore/hindlimb to clean it's hoof etc without too much trouble. i'll be doing dog, sheep n pig handling at werribee next week.. i'll get to wrestle a sheep! haha.

oh i'm starting driving lessons tmr.. FINALLY after months n months of procastinating i'm learning to drive. haha.

:)

my mood has been super good these few days... just everything seems to be going my way and yea i'm totally over that idiotic depressed phase i was in like a week ago...

the lectures n stuff to read are starting to pile up though. Lotsa stuff to read through... but yea it's cool with me cos at least i'm learning relevant stuff ... pracs have been really interesting too.. unlike stupid pracs i did last year.

me n my housemate are thinking of getting a cat... would love to adpot one... yea seriously contemplating abt it... been seeing some really cute kittens/cats.. just want to take all of them home!!!

went to ikea just now... bought a nice fleece blankey... but well the weather has been super un-autumn like man.. so HOT!!! the weather better turn colder so i can use the blanket.. yep after ikea me and a bunch of friends went to Crown to eat cake.. it's this hotel casino place... after the cake we just walked around the casino for fun.. heh and we found a few slot machines with credit in them and just pressed the buttons... i won 4 cents. hahahahhahahahahaha. there's this cool fire show at crown too.. it's especially nice during winter time cos u can really feel the heat of the flames on your face... oh and a cute ang moh guy waved and smiled at me. HAHAHAHAHA.

unfortunately.. we missed the last tram back. so we had to walk back but it was really fun actually. me n my housemate were walking back with this 2 girls from singapore (also in vet).. we knew them last year but never really hanged ard them until this year. never knew they were so crazy n funny.

oh yes. i'm going to perth in july! doing extra mural farm work at my friend's sheep farm. so cool. haha. hopefully still can come back to singapore for like 2 weeks at least. it's kinda sad that i'm losing touch with all the nus pple already... but at least i have the sajc crew! love u guys :)

hello hello.. ola!

Ok yes. Update on life. Well i dissected a dog on thursday.. and yea our grp was lucky cos we got fresh dogs. as in the muscles n stuff were red n firm n we could actually identify nerves n stuff... as oppose to the grp on tuesday who got really disgusting dogs... we call them green dogs cos well.. they're sick. as in purple/blackish meat that;s really soft n gross. but yea. there was still a shortage of dogs so we had half a dog in each table. and my half-a-dog din have a head.. but we had the tail. heh.

And yes i still love my dogs and have absolutely not wish to cut them up. i do want to try to palpate them though. palpate=feel them to try n find position of bones n stuff. as in it does NOT involve any scapels n scissors.. haha.

yea i'm quite ok with my grp now... i guess dead dogs bond pple? haha i'm talking rubbish la. anyway.. just had a chocolate fondue/ drinking party at my place.. just ended n everyone's gone home.. not a biggie party.. just some closer friends.. yea i bought the choc fountain thingie and it was quite cool. cleaning it is NOT cool. and we have like ALOT of bottles of alcohol man.. we can open a bar.. haha anyway yea so we had fun just talking and laughing at each other.. will try and organise more parties...

well swi i found out that horseface lives in serangoon gardens too. yes that means he lives real near me.. haha! so wat say u visit me more often during my winter break? heh.

ok gtg now... GO SINGAPORE for the commonwealth games! i'm kinda sick of seeing australia win all the gold medals. we were like cheering for whatever country that was their rival :P

I'm Pissed at Myself

Ok I just had a prac and my lab coat is bloody. fine it’s not that bad.. just some blood on the sleeves but I’m sooo lazy.. I dun want to wash my coat….

The prac was on joints… so we got to examine fresh horse forelimb and hindlimb.. yea so we’re suppose to see how the joints work.. feel the difference b2n ligaments, tendons, muscles etc… identify certain structures.. and basically do anything we want with the limb. Cut here, cut there.. I sound barbaric don’t I? Haha. But seriously that’s what they tell us to do. They say that since the limb is going to the bin after this, make use of it to like investigate anything u want. Very diff from last year’s rat prac where the science pple warned us not to fool around with the rats and just stick to what we’re suppose to do. Are vets sadistic? Hmmm…

But well. I feel kinda like an outcast with my prac group. They’re also my syndicate grp for a project I haveta do. Going by the trend, I’ll be having them in my group for the next 2 years at least. They’re not bad pple.. there are 2 true blue aussie girls, tall, slim and pretty, one Canadian girl (or as my friend says, Canadian chick), and even the Chinese girl is born and bred in Canada. So yea. That makes me the only asian-type person.

Well It’s probably mostly my own doing. I mean pple who know me know I’m not exactly very sociable. I cant just go up and chat up with strangers. It takes me a while to warm up to pple, especially ang mohs. I mean hell how many friends have told me that their first impression of me is that I’m super dao? Once friends, pple realize that I talk a lot and am quite animated and super lame. But in a grp of pple I dun know I’m super quiet.

I guess that as time passes I’ll start feeling less awkward around them… I hope I do.. I hate just standing around smiling, pretending that I’m part of the grp. Plus I’m gonna have to work with them for a long time. But as I stress, it’s not them. In fact they’re pretty nice to me. One of the aussie girls would ask me if I can see from where I’m standing, if I’ve tried cutting etc…

So yea. I guess I have to work on my social skills. But that’s fucking hard cos I’m so antisocial.

update

Well looks like i managed to change the dragon pic within a year afterall.. haha! well this dragon is completely done using adobe photoshop and my good old trusty mouse. as in the normal computer mouse.. not the animal that goes squeak. it kind of looks like a painting but it isnt...

well. let's see. bones in forearm = scapula, clavicle, coracoid, humerus, radius, ulna, carpus(9 carpals), metacarpus( 5 metacarpals), phalanges, dorsal sesamoids, proximal palmar sesamoids...

ok i just had to do that.

haha swi sry i forgot all abt horseface until much later...

My Whimsical Post

I miss the good old times. i sound old. maybe i am getting old. i miss the times back in secondary school and jc. when life seemed so far ahead of me.. when i dreamt up fantasy futures for myself. Well. the future is now. i'm here at where i want to be. but why am i not as happy as i hoped i will be?

i dont know. there is something wrong with me. i feel there is something missing in my life. i cant just sit back and relax without a care in the world like i used to. and it's not because of my studies. i just feel horrible inside somehow. my studies serve to let me forget my emptyness inside, not worsen it.

aside with the bitterness. the semester has finally started, and i'm officially a VET student. today is like the 3rd day of school and i'm already getting a shitload of names of bones to learn. the anatomy lecturer is pretty disorganised i think... and it's really hard to follow when she points to a part on a bone she's holding, names it and then goes on to the next part before u can absorb anything. thank goodness for practicals. for most of this year i'll be dissecting dogs, greyhounds to be exact. i'll have parts of other animals too but the dog is the main animal.

Went to the night market today and met one of my secondary school friends who i was pretty gam with. Was a pleasant surprise to see her.. lost touch with just about all my secondary school friends already...

oh and swi did laysh tell u about horse face? yeah i forgot to tell u that day at breko. Horseface has a twin and his twin is my classmate in vet science! talk about coincidences eh? for those who dont know who the hell horseface is.... well i think swi willbe angry with me for calling him that anyway.. haha!

ok so i have like a hell of a lot of stuff to read through just for tmr so i better go do that before it gets too late. well hopefully i'll be happier in my next post.

Long Awaited Post?

Ok. i've been scolded by swi umpteenth times for not updating my blog. seriously i had no idea anyone looks at it anymore... :P

ok anyway so yes. i've changed it yet again. it's still work in progress mind you.. although i think i'll take abt... forever plus minus ten years to finish it. but i cannot wait any longer if not i'll get scolded even more.

so. How's life? well yes i'm in the middle of my summer break while u guys are all er enjoying your lectures n tuts n pracs etc etc... i'll be flying back on 20th feb... just in time for the orientation.. usually 2nd year students dont have orientation.. but because i'm considered to be 1st year vet... so there's a special vet orientation...

the itenary looks not bad... go police dog training academy n zoos n stuff... and of course the usual talks etc etc.. but it's A$90! oh and my time table is only going to be out during the orientation week, but i sneaked a peak at last year's timetable and it's damn packed la. so it's like almost everyday 9-5 packed only one lunch break inbetween... at least lessons dont end til 8 like in nus :P... but the worst part is there is lab EVERY single day for the WHOLE semester. it takes up half of the whole timetable...

i havent been going out much as u can imagine.. but i did go to crash swi's lecture.. foreign policy and something i cant remember the name.. haha... while in nus i spotted a very er.. unique picture of swi pasted around the WHOLE of arts... heh.

still trying to settle my accomodation stuff.. hopefully it'll be done by next week so i dont have to think abt it anymore....

ok enough talk i'll write again when something more interesting happens to me (eg. strike lottery) :)
