omg laysh just read your comment on my last post and it's seriously funny. just HAD to put up a new post after i read it.
hmm somehow i just keep on forgetting to blog i guess.
well school's like halfway thru this sem already and i think i've really gotta start doing some serious studying if not i'll be screwed for my exams. that said, i'm just starting my mid sem break and i was going to study today. and me and my friends ended up slacking ard and watching movies on the com the whole day. so i managed to read 5 pages of parasitology only. WOOHOO.
lectures are not as boring now thankfully though certain subjects are still v dry. and in those certain subjects a certain someone is absent from lectures. god i'm skipping so many lectures this sem! and pracs too! dammit carol stop being so slack.
but of course i go for the more important pracs (ie not computer based) and those are much much more interesting. i had lots of pracs where we had to learn how to clinically examine animals and it's nice working with LIVE animals for a change. and i had a rather interesting sheep prac recently. we learnt how to draw blood from the jugular vein of sheep using that vacuum syringe thingy. anyway we must be getting good at catching and tipping sheep cos we managed to do that just fine (unlike a year ago where we were getting bullied by the sheep)... anyway i managed to stab my arm with the needle cos i put the needle in my pocket but somehow the cap dropped off and when i put my arm down.... we did post mortems on lambs too (real cases- lambs that died in the uni farms).. and did like a check up on the huge ass rams.
i went for this weekend farm trip thingy too organised by one of my lecturers. kinda like farm-hopping over 2 days. pretty interesting.... and i love the alpacas! got to remember to get the pics from my friend. i took this pic of this damn cute alpaca i named shaggy. haha. looked like a hippy alpaca!
oh and i went to visit this tulip farm today! tulips are my absolute favourite flower!!! and this was a farm!!! omg it was sooo pretty. the only downside was that it was cold and wet and the ground was damn muddy and i ruined my newish ked shoes. but it was so preeeety! got to remember to get those pics too. heh bought a pot of tulips home too...
ok i think i've said enough so far.... cant wait to get back home and catch up with u guys! LOVE YA.

wishy-washy
i wish i were home. i wish i would shut up. i wish i would stop annoying myself. i wish i would stop thinking. i wish i can just get through a day without letting my mind slip. i wish i can concentrate more on my school work. i wish i didnt have to go to class tmr. i wish i have more self-restrain when it comes to anime. i wish i can make the right choices. i wish i would stop kidding myself. i wish i can have more motivation to exercise. i wish i would stop imagining things. i wish i would stop thinking dumb things that are not true. i wish i weren't so idiotic. i wish i would stop wishing.
wishful thinking obviously.
unfortunately, i've been having mostly uber boring lectures so far... though that prac where we learnt how to scrub up and prepare the patient for surgery and learn basic suturing was quite interesting. been in uni for a week, feels like a month. come on lectures... get more interesting please!

half-way home :)
When will i learn to keep my mouth shut? my god all the verbal diarrhoea that i've been spewing out... i shld learn to just shut up cos a couple of days later i'd feel more or less ok again and then feel like a total idiot for complaining so much. so yea i've gone on from the end-of-the-world mood to couldnt-care-less mood (which is just as bad if u look at it from an exam point of view)....
ok so now i'm mid way thru my exams. i've finished four papers.. but somehow i've got four more to go. this exam is taking such a damn long time..... i;ve concluded that our leturers have been overtaken by alien beings and have all gone psycho. the papers are either: too many marks and nothing to write/ too many things to write for too few marks. Or they test us on something we learnt LAST YEAR. like today's AHM... when it was over... everyone was staring at each other and went... 'what the hell is DFD meat?!' haha.. well i know what it is but i dont know what the letters stand for... was wondering if the lecturer would give me marks if i wrote 'damn freakin disease' but i thought otherwise. :)
ok time to mug like mad for path.. possibly the worst format of exams ever... cos they are going to give us a slideshow for prac.. each pic up for 1.5mins and we haveta ans the qns. going by their idea of 'short ans' (as seen from their quizes), we'll never have time to ans the qns and we cant go back n see the pics. in fact we had something like for microbio but we had 3 mins(n more cos that guy is damn slack abt keeping time) for each pic and still there was hardly enough time.
ah well... going home soon! woohoo!

Monster colour
Qn: What colour are gremlins?
Ans: Monster colour.
last day of school but i'm not happy, not happy at all.
u know how some people see me as this smart person and hence must do well in exams? Well i have to say i'm not smart and i dont always do well in exams. in fact i'm pretty new to this 'great exam results' game. I've never been a better than ave student until somewhere in JC. Something sort of clicked and i seemed to be able to get things better. but that doesnt mean i dont have to study or am some sort of genius. but i guess i dont really care wat pple think and am not really pressured to do well just because pple think i shld. but. I want to do well for myself.
second thing. well i've never been one to worry about exams. i have always seemed to manage fine just studying normally b4 exams, and i dont think too much about it. i dont usually feel the nervousness or the stress some pple get b4 exams, and i'm happy enough to just sit down and study and find that i'm doing pretty much alright. but now. for this semester. i feel like i'm begining to be pushed to the edge of a cliff. (like my lemmings in the previous post). i'm starting to get really quite stressed abt my impending exams and i'm sorta freakin out that the info isnt sticking in my head as easily as it used to. Seriously the amt of things i have to learn n memorise this sem is almost hitting my limit. i have never felt this way abt exams and i'm getting worried.
like half of the sg vets are freakin out and are really stressed and look terrible. but i cant really say that i'm stressed too cos all pple say to me is like 'aiyah you're a genius la dont need to study la etc etc etc'. so i guess i just want a place where i can shout out loud that i'm human and i feel stress too. it doesnt matter in the end if i end up with good results, the fact is i'm seriously feeling stressed out NOW. nobody said pple who do well arent entitled to be freaking out.
ok let me talk abt other things. a couple of days ago we had that cirriculum evaluation thing where pple got to voice out their opinions on the subjects... and it was damn funny to watch. seriously entertaining. of course the ang mohs were doing most of the talking, and u know how pple say sg pple complain alot? well they complain like shitloads of stuff here. haha but not that most of it is not valid la. And pple were like totally bashing some lecturers (which i totally approve of course those lecturers got some serious attitude problem). and the subject pple had most strife with was pathology. bloody pathology. it was damn funny the way they said that the patho woman seemed really happy when we do badly in tests, and that she expects us to know stuff even though none of us had any training in patho b4... and how she says that even an idiot on the street can ans what we answer. and then there is james. the guy that doesnt tell us abt tests until a few days before though pple have been chasing him for weeks, the guy that didnt tell us the format/duration/what sort of qns to expect for today's microbio prac exam.
ah well. time squeeze more things into my brain now. exam's a week away and i still have a shitload of things to study. and the lecturers are not helping by piling more work on us just b4 school ends. i really hope i can get back into my 'slackish' study mode.

nap time
Ok picture in your mind thousands of little lemmings hurling themselves off a cliff to their deaths. Now imagine those lemmings are my brain cells. I've picked up some seriously bad sleeping habits here. i sleep an average of 5 hrs mon-fri, and 2 days ago i slept for just under 3 hrs cos i was cramming for my microbio test. i'm surprised i could even complete the test considering 3/4 of my brain was asleep.
i need to get more sleep :(
of course that means i'll actually have to set a proper studying schedule. sigh.
i hate the physio lecturers for being so bloody sneaky. last 2 weeks of school and they suddenly drop 3-4 new topics on us. All along it seemed like physio was quite managable, not too many things to study... and then they mash everything tgt just b4 school ends.
ok i need to take a nap now to replenish my REM sleep so that i can study better.

more ramblings of a tired mind
Isnt neko such a handsome boy? Haha but dont be fooled by the pix. he's actually a really clumsy and whiney boy. but he's still my pretty pretty boy. :) but he does look good in pics except that cos he's all black sometimes it's really hard to distinguish his features. i used him as my model for the banner for the Singapore Vet Students Society (no, it's not exactly a REAL club). see the banner here! if u look closely at the banner u'll notice a white paw on the bottom right corner of neko's pic. it does look like it's part of his foot but... he's an all black boy. that's actually maumau's paw :)
sigh miss all my animals. still dont know how i'll actually react when i get home though.
right now i feel like my head's abt to explode... but that's probably just my flu talking. have been sick for the past 2 days. :( :( :( i want casey here to cheer me up.
cant wait for spiderman. wanna go watch it in the imax theatre and give myself a headache from spidey swinging across the giant screen. and i cant wait to go HOME!!!!!!!! will be doing a week of farm work at the quail farm back home... haha maybe can bring back free eggs!!! but dammit yea that means my exams are like coming real soon. and the s'pore pple all have just abt finished/finishing their papers. sigh. well at least my exam timetable is quite okay and spaced out... seriously i'm damn lucky they decided to change the format this year and removed most of the prac exams and made them part of the ciriculum instead... so instead of the TWELVE papers they had last year.. i have EIGHT. i think i would die if i have to take 12 papers.

woohoo!
i've got a microbio test tmr and as usual i must find the most illogical time to be blogging (:
haha maybe it'll turn out like my pathology test where i made up my own genus and species :P the prof said he wasnt that particular abt spelling mistakes when it came to the latin names for the organisms... but i dont think he'll appreciate my very own creations.. haha i was laughing to myself while i was writing the damn things. like i knew like the 1st couple of letters so i wrote ChryXXXXXXX ruXXXXXX yea basically just fill in the Xs with any rubbishy stuff.
but well the woohoo! in my blog heading is definately not abt my tests n stuff... it's cos i'm going to S.AFRICA in december!!! so excited!!! it's a vets in the wild safari tour specially catered to us vet students by some company.. v.expensive though so i'm now in uber-stingy mode. it's for 3 weeks and i cant wait for it!
let's see what else... oh yea though i'm in uber-stingy mode i went clubbing (hmm that probably means i'll have to not eat like 2 meals to recover money loss.. haha) to this super posh club. seriously the decor was damn classy... they had velvet walls and chandeliers and even the toilet was super poshy. too bad the djs werent all that good.
ok time to continue on my quest for microbio excellence (O.o)

random ramblings III
I've this immense urge to draw(manga + animals), write a book, play the piano(if only i had one), reformat my websites, send out newsletters, all at the same time now. And this is despite the fact that i have a damn tedious RAD tmr (the other grps all couldnt finish it) with 16 parts to do, pharmacology quiz and practical on wed, more anatomy prac on thurs, parasitology midterm on friday, pathology quiz on next monday and microbio quiz sometime next week. and that's not including most of my normal lessons and pracs. and i have to hand up my microbio assignment/presentation thingy soon. and my VPH assignment too. dammit.
i guess basically what i'm saying is that i'm wanting to do stuff that is equivalent to NOT studying. sigh. procastination is the bane of every student. seriously give me a black pen and a scrap piece of paper and i'm doodling away my time i shld be spent studying. Or just sit me infront of the com and i'm doing stuff like this - blogging - wasting my time yet again. or sit me in a corner of the room and i start daydreaming and spacing out. So yea basically no matter the situation, i'm just not studying.

Spartan heaven
ok watching 300 in the imax theatre was probably the smartest thing i've done this year. omg the number of hot bods in the show is amazing. i want a spartan dude! why dont i know any spartan guys? i shld force every guy i know to do the 300 workout.
I'm going to start a Spartan recruitment agency in the hope that my uni will be populated with hot spartan guys.

today's hat has a new look
Ok finally changed the blog template. well i guess it's pretty plain but it's easier to maintain. :P
i think it's pretty easy to spot which one is me in the 'charlies angels' pic :)
incidentally, i just cut my hair so i guess it's new looks all around. i'm so glad easter break is here. of course it would have been even better if there wasnt those damn lectures tmr.
i went horseriding last saturday and it was great. it was a beach n bush ride and the beach was awesome. too bad the beach part was pretty short. the horses were so well trained (abit too well trained if u ask me), esp my horse annabelle. laysh! when (and if) you come to melb we'll go horseriding k? :):):) now deciding whether i have enough money to spare to go for another ride at a diff place next week.
well had another smelly prac today... this time it was fetuses. the pregnant sheep uterus is amazingly disgusting. u'll never want to eat cheerios or mushrooms ever again after looking at it. (or at least for a few days? haha vet students have gotten used to these kinds of stuff long ago - we can talk abt cutting animals up, look at disgusting slides, and eat lunch at the same time)

today's mood hat is: too tight
crap my brain is going to explode soon from all this studying that i'm doing. damn all the tests and quizes!!!!!!! and the lecturers are not helping either. i get a big fat headache listening to them drone on and on. and i;ve got some lecturers that are.... just plain weird. maybe slightly entertaining, but no help when it comes to actually teaching us something.
will the weather please make up it's mind? hot cold hot cold. it's autumn for goodness sake. it gets very irritating when u haveta keep on taking off/putting on jackets the whole day.
well i went to the melb food and wine festival today and on friday... friday was beer tasting. haha yea u haveta buy tickets and then u go to diff stalls to taste the beer. and i can tell u that after a while it gets really really ge-lat. all the diff tastes just mix tgt and stay in your mouth. but in the beginning it was quite ok... some beers not bad, some so-so, some not v nice... but the killer was when we tried this beer called 'the beast'. seriously i think that's the perfect name for it. it was soooo foul tasting that anything we tasted after that was just plain horrid. i can still imagine the yuuuuuuck taste in my mouth. who the hell makes such disgusting drinks????????? that is the perfect punishment for forfeit games.
then today just walked around visiting the different stalls. thought there was suppose to be some choc fair but in the end only saw one stall selling choc. nothing much there, just like normal stalls selling different stuff. not very exciting.
ok so what else... oh yea that 8hr blackout. i think i'm v lucky man.... cos i was barely home for 5 mins when the electricity went out. if i actually came home a bit later... i would have been one of the poor suckers caught in the lifts and have to be saved by the firemen. i think the blackout was caused by some fire at a substation or something.
ok wait. aren't i suppose to be studying for tmr's quiz? crap just when my head started to shrink and the mood hat can finally fit.... now it's going to be super tight again compressing my poor head. ah well the life of a student :)

today's mood hat is: sad
Okay so i've finally gotten my internet connected so i can start blogging again (as if).
And here's me being melancholy again. Oh and add a touch of cynicism to that.
i smile when i'm sad and i laugh when i'm down
i put up and act and try not to frown.
i know what i want but i dont say a word
my thoughts count for nothing they're buried in dirt.
i guess that sums up my life.
well only been back 3 weeks and seriously it seems like a lifetime. i feel like i've been here for months and it's time to get back home. but of course there's something that's missing back home. something, someone that will no longer be there sitting at the door with a ball in her mouth. eyes bright and tail wagging urging me to play with her. sitting on my lap proclaiming herself queen. Saphi is, was, the best dog ever. have fun in doggy heaven.
it's time to stop ranting on and move on. she's in my heart and that's where she'll stay.
it's hard for pple to get into my head cos there's this wall surrounding it. hell I cant even get in sometimes. i dont know what i'm thinking. i dont like people to see that i'm sad so i just shrug everything off with a idiotic grin. maybe that's why it's such a relieve to have this blog to type out at least the very surface of what i'm really thinking. it's such a relieve to have at least one avenue, some people that i can talk to. that said, it's easy to see that i'm still holding back. i do that all the time it's part of me.
and right now i'm going to do it again. i'm going to shrug it off like it doesnt matter cos seriously i dont even know what i'm typing anymore. Look i even have that idiotic grin now.
so what have i been doing these past 3 weeks? well usuall school stuff i guess.. the mountain piles of notes, lecturers going on and on and on, long pracs and stinky body parts.... but i guess i'm not really complaining. i enjoy this course :)
anyway i have this scottish lecturer this sem. he's super super tall. like probably 2 metres or something. and he looks too young to be a lecturer.. he looks maybe early thirties? looks more like a phd student esp during pracs when everyone is in their labcoats.
oh had housewarming yesterday. too much alcohol. tokyo tea is lethal. but yummy. i guess my liver is in recovery mode now. no more alchohol for the next 6 months at least for me. and i realise that when i drink alot i cant stop talking. seriously i go on and on and on... i think everyone else was just using this housewarming thing as an excuse to drink (all those deprived members of AA). i wasnt planning on drinking so much but those damn drinking games are damn sneaky.
and i just went to a friend's housewarming today. no alcohol of course. just played like some card games and stuff.
and i think i sorta have a pretty good idea of how to play mahjong properly.. as in all the N,S,E,W, flower tiles, points/money counting and stuff. really addictive game. hahahahhah.
ok i'm not being sarcastic or anything here when i say that i'm seriously feeling better. maybe it was just like hormones or something that caused that unexplained bout of melancholy. i hate pms :S
And here's me being melancholy again. Oh and add a touch of cynicism to that.
i smile when i'm sad and i laugh when i'm down

and right now i'm going to do it again. i'm going to shrug it off like it doesnt matter cos seriously i dont even know what i'm typing anymore. Look i even have that idiotic grin now.
so what have i been doing these past 3 weeks? well usuall school stuff i guess.. the mountain piles of notes, lecturers going on and on and on, long pracs and stinky body parts.... but i guess i'm not really complaining. i enjoy this course :)
anyway i have this scottish lecturer this sem. he's super super tall. like probably 2 metres or something. and he looks too young to be a lecturer.. he looks maybe early thirties? looks more like a phd student esp during pracs when everyone is in their labcoats.
oh had housewarming yesterday. too much alcohol. tokyo tea is lethal. but yummy. i guess my liver is in recovery mode now. no more alchohol for the next 6 months at least for me. and i realise that when i drink alot i cant stop talking. seriously i go on and on and on... i think everyone else was just using this housewarming thing as an excuse to drink (all those deprived members of AA). i wasnt planning on drinking so much but those damn drinking games are damn sneaky.
and i just went to a friend's housewarming today. no alcohol of course. just played like some card games and stuff.
and i think i sorta have a pretty good idea of how to play mahjong properly.. as in all the N,S,E,W, flower tiles, points/money counting and stuff. really addictive game. hahahahhah.
ok i'm not being sarcastic or anything here when i say that i'm seriously feeling better. maybe it was just like hormones or something that caused that unexplained bout of melancholy. i hate pms :S

sian 1/2
Ok. So i have decided it's high time i updated this blog before the cobwebs become too thick. But then again.. i realise that i dont have much to type. I'm a boring old person who does zilt.
Ok maybe i have done some stuff... like that animal shelter i've been to for the past 2 weeks.. part of my uni extramural work requirement... the first week was rather boring cos we din do much.. but the 2nd week was more productive... we cleaned kennels and walked dogs.. and i have to say that walking the dogs is a damn good exercise routine.. they pull like crazy and now my back hurts :p And there was this super super excitable huge alaskan mamalute that jumps up n down on u when u walk in with the leash... imagine a 40?50? Kg dog standing up eith it's 2 paws on u.... but they were all pretty friendly except for some.
after the shelter work i go to my mum's centre n help.. now i'm also painting a mural on the outside wall.. it's almost finished...
wow for a boring person who does nothing much all i guess i manage to fill up some space in this blog. well i guess i need to go out more and stop being a house hermit. anybody wants to go gai gai?? i feel so sian.... :(

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 :(

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.
