watched cinderalla man yesterday. it is such a nice show! russell crowe is a very good actor that u will really feel for his character. a touching show of love for his family and determination. but i reached home quite late and ended being very tired for the whole of today. anyway received a belated birthday present from the mumbo peeps. thanks! really like and appreciated it.
now for attachment. im now at changi general hospital. enough have been said (too much for comfort) about my coursemates who are there with me. its my first time there and even though its very far from my place, i kinda like it. im attached to the a & e department this week. its not as busy as the big 2 but the place is generally very clean and spacious and the equipment are all so new. they have all the accessories we need for various projections which is not the case in other hospitals. there are a few very good and knowlegeable radiographers that i look forward to learning from. the only bad thing is that we dont get to do the cases by ourselves much. guess i will survive this 2 weeks after all.
another thing that i guessed everyone is feeling right now is that we are all so tired, especially when we have to meet up with friends or do whatever stuff we need to do after work. haven really recover from the lack of sleep during the exams and chalet and i have to wake up so early because of the long travelling time. this weekend is packed again...dunno when i will have the chance to make up for my sleep debts. keke, hope everyone is enjoying their attachment.

thanks to all those who wished me happy birthday, came to my chalet, gave me presents/cards and in one way or another made my birthday memorable, especially those who "traumatised" me. pictures will be up shortly. need my beauty sleep now.

finished radiography exam today. one last paper to go! everything is gonna be over in less than 24 hours. took a nap (more than 5 hours considered a nap or not =) ) just now. couldnt sleep well when i expected myself to be dead tired after sleeping 2 hours plus last night. my brain was so active and kept dreaming and waking up sporadically. felt more tired than before i slept.
realised today that one really have to watch what they blog online. its not only because of the recent racist blog posts but there are things that you shouldnt say, especially when you dont know who might be reading your blog. edited a small part of a previous post today because of some complication.
all my posts during this exam period gonna be short. nothing to blog about but need to find excuse to get away from the books for a while...haha. this is another one of them ;)
ps: so looking forward to fri!

no i didnt gamble or lost in stocks. just came back from my ippt and hit 2 personal bests for shuttle run and standing broad jump, 9.1s and 234cm respectively. all was going well when i finished the 4 static stations with 18 points. however when i started the 2.4km run, my legs felt weak. usually my first few rounds will be quite fast but this time i struggled to keep the pace. and i really hate running on track coz its a long 6 rounds countdown. felt like giving up but pushed myself on. i thought its gonna be worse than my recent run of 11.47 after seeing the timing of each lap. but somehow i managed to push myself and clocked...11.42. 2 secs short of a silver!! $200 incentive turned to a $100. anyway its such a disgrace for a combat fit personnel to run above 11.40. disgrace! i absolutely want to try again but my window closes next wed and i have one paper each on tue and wed =( . hai...might as well book another date after my birthday to complete next year's ippt. so sad now...

my induction, inference, guessing (whatever you call it) skills failed me today. miserably. memory work is my worst academic weakness and he has to ask all the details of each theory. yet another regurgitation paper tomorrow. might as well spew out my breakfast for them if thats what they want. coronal, sagittal, transverse...going crazy!

finally managed to get background music up on my blog. for those of you who find it irritating and dont know how to disable it, just click the stop button on your internet explorer. hmm...the new craig david album is very nice. anyone who is interested can get it from me. go listen to "one last dance" also.
imaging paper today. whew~ it was easier than expected. still i managed to miss out studying on something and forgot some stuff too. bah~ will survive. was damn unlucky today. set wrong time on my alarm clock so i woke up 1 hour later than normal. had no intention of attending the first lecture but i wanted to scan card and then go study in the library. so rushed out of the house and boarded a bus to ang mo kio to transfer 159 to school. i decided to alight at an earlier bus stop so i have the option of taking 162 also. however when i alight i didnt notice that 159 is in front of my bus and it left without me as no one is boarding or alighting! i would have been exactly on time if i had catch that bus...so there goes my attendance. went ahead with my plan to study in the library anyway.
looking around for chalets to book for my birthday and also to mark the end of exams(!!). i only wanted to book one night but costa sands only allow 2 nights booking on weekends. so there goes east coast or sentosa. shall try to get other chalets. worse come to worst then it shall be a bbq pit at east coast park. just book my ippt test on this sat also. had no choice as these 2 weeks is really packed with assignment deadline and exams and i have to clear it before next thursday. had only one training to date. still wishing for a silver though. i need to run faster! run faster...

Unbelievable
always said i would know where to find love
always thought id be ready and strong enough

but you came and you changed my whole world now
im somewhere ive never been before
now i see
what love means
its so unbelievable
and i dont wanna let it go
its something so beautiful
flowin down like a waterfall
i feel like youve always been
forever a part of me
and its so unbelievable
to finally be in love
somewhere i never thought id be
in my heart in my head its so clear now
on my hand youve got nothin to fear now
i was lost and youve rescued me somehow
im alive im in love you complete me
and ive never been here before
now i see
what love means
when i think of what i have
and this chance i nearly lost
i cant help but break down and cry

just realised i have eaten ban mian for 5 consecutive days. tats just how monotonous my life is. just like my daily peanut butter bread ;) . a better way of looking at it would be im so faithful to things i like...haha. anyway my life is so monotonous that i really relish any excitement that i get occasionally. like clubbing. like going overseas on tours or treks. like doing crazy things with crazy ppl (yes all u ppl from mumbo). its things like these and my weekly beach volleyball tat keeps me going :) .
started on my communication assignment yesterday. planned out my approach and wrote the introduction to the assignment. not too bad...just the introduction alone and i hit 200 plus words. shouldnt have a problem with the word limit, maybe will have to summarise so that i wont go beyond the limit. really like doing research and doing assignments and projects than studying for tests and exams. i like writing a lot.
im actually blogging a lot more during the exam period when people are too busy studying to blog. think its because i have less activities during this period and hence i got more time and energy to blog. rejected people to go out because i need to study yet i didnt carry out my words. *sighs* . whatever makes me feel less guilty...haha.
going for attachment again in 3 weeks time. got posted to some of the lousiest places with some people i dont like. of so many people, my mentor has to put me with the 2 persons that i dont want to work with, along with some people from her clique that i dont really like. and i'll be going to 2 of the lousiest polyclinics! well, life has to go on. shall make the best out of the situation.
hmm...a more than wordy enough entry. i should be paying attention to the lecturer now...haha.

havent had time to blog this weekend. went zouk last wed. it was an expensive night...spent more than $100 just to get ppl drunk and to take care of them. the thing is i didnt even open any bottle. i thought the money was well spent (for the laughs) until they started puking and sleeping. was so vexed that i did something i couldnt imagine myself doing that night. i dont know what my heart is feeling...havent felt like tat in a long long time.
anyway got to work at comex for starhub once again on thursday after sleeping for 2.5hrs. was fortunate not to make any major mistakes (didnt realise any at least). went to sab's birthday party on fri. had a fun time that day...quite the break i needed after working and before working again on sat and sun.
the bbq pit before...
bbq pit after our efforts...

the special concoction by pauline that i had to drink after all of them ganged up on me to make me lose the "zhong ji mi ma". never mind, its not half as bad as pauline's :p
after working the whole weekend with 12 straight hours each day, i was simply too tired to do anything on monday. couldnt study at all during whatever short breaks there were in between. and a miracle happened! i scored even higher than joycelyn in the imaging quiz, who is consistently the top scorer. 86.67%!! my "ti gam" skills and luck must have been really good that day. the other consolation must be the pay that i'll be getting soon and also a portable speaker that i managed to buy at a very good price. it was originally $69 but marvin's friend happened to be working in creative booth and was able to get it at the price when u buy any mp3 player.
started training for my ippt that is due in less than 3 weeks. went for a run just now. i am really getting quite worried about the test...whether i'll be able to clear it and also whether i'll be able to book a date in time. shall go about booking a date now.
