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
