Gasping For Air

Man...what a week it has been. Have been going down to NCC for attachment the whole week. (No, it's not the left-right-left-right march kinda NCC, it's the National Cancer Centre for the benefit of those who have not been following my entries. Who gets attached to the National Cadet Corps anyways..). I would have written about the stuff I do at work, but I am bound to secrecy. So, I shall talk about the meaning of Life instead...

GOTCHA!! Hahahaha! Okay, enough shockers for the day. Ooh, I have just thought about the perfect things to write about. Hahah..It's soo funny I am laughing at those thoughts. Two really hilarious things happened during band practice earlier today. I shall start with the more pleasant one alright. But first, I have to get some things clear first. The piece we were working on just now have some parts which require only one tuba player to play that particular part. And these parts, for this song, consists of only crochets (which means one note for one count). This is what my section call "solo" since we don't really get much solo parts. Heheh. Don't laugh just yet, that wasn't the funny part. Anyways, XC, GK and myself were talking about the piece while Mr Tan was going through some parts with other sections. Then GK said something like this, " Eh Sunil, this part you stand up and play lah. Heheh." (3 of us laugh) Imagine standing up just to play a part like that!! Then to make things worse, XC mentioned, "Yah, then you tell your friends that you have alot of solo parts, then ask them to come support you for your solo" (3 of us laugh harder) Bearing in mind the fact that XC is the Rondeau Comm president, so naturally he would want high ticket sales, hence his attempt in promoting the concert using the "solo" method.... Meanwhile, Sunil's tongue was at the wrong position in the mouth, and therefore, when he took a breath in from all that laughing, he produced a snort. (2 of them laugh EVEN harder). Yup, so that was one episode. However, the next was everything but pleasant. There I was in the store room, keeping my tuba back into its case. WH and LF were just infront talking. When I was done, I tried to get past them by going past the behind LF. There was very little space between LF and the bunch of French Horns (in the cases of course) on the floor. As I was getting through, I sorta lost my balance and there wasn't much space to use my legs to balance myself. The other alternative was to push LF and WH away, which I didn't think was any good. Ta Daa, I fell onto those F. Horns. So there. The trip back home with WH was deja vu as I recounted the scenario to him about the snort.

(2 of us laugh)

Not So Fast...

Just when we thought that freedom was our's after the last exam paper...Pop! That was the sound of the bubble bursting...my attachment at the National Cancer Centre (NCC) begins Monday. AArrgh..No break, no nothing..well, you can't really call the weekend a break break right?
But every cloud has its silver lining...guess what's gonna happen on Monday?? My Liason Officer, Mdm Huang Yan, will be accompanying us to NCC. And we'll be taking a cab there. Yay!! But have to meet her earlier in school lah..heheh..

Urghh...How stupid..How did I fall into this trap. How did I end up doing a powerpoint presentation on Henna for my sister #2 for her school assembly?? I should not have been soo impatient..aargh. I made a terrible trade...Such a bad exchange..the shorter end of the stick.

Self-pity aside, sister #2 did something hilarious just now. I laughed soo bloody hard!! HAhahahah..She recorded my mom's snoring!!! HAHahHAHAhaha....IT'S SOOOO BLOOOODDYY HILARIOUS!!! MAaaaannn..Hhahaha..Well, here's the issue. My mom denies the fact that she snores. The sad sad truth, however, is that she so does. I cannot imagine what her reaction would be when she gives that recording a listen. Would she still deny? Would she say "That's definitely not mine..." ? Would she finally give in?

Finally using Hello

Just wanted to try out this photo thing. Yeah yeah yeah...I know I'm a little bit slow..So there, a photo which was taken some weeks ago.


Sherwin and I during IL2 lab incubation time. Heheh


Oomph..Look at Siti's screwed up face! Hahah

A Wet Wet Day...

Simply great. Such nice weather, and I did not get to enjoy it in the comforts of my home, sipping a cup of hot coffee and studying. Okay, maybe the studying part kinda puts me off. It doesn't really fit into the picture eh? Coming back to the hot coffee...yah, instead of lying on the crisp, cold surface of my bed while reading a book and that cup of coffee, guess where I spent the afternoon? In School!! For crying out loud...urgh. Went to do a little Proteomics with Sasi because he wanted to do the past year qns and didnt know the ans to some. Hmmm..well, I oughta give some credit to this whole afternoon spent at school cause I never would have touched the books anyways, if I had been lingering aimlessly at home (with that cup of hot coffee, mind you.)

Great, now I have a 10 cent per day per book library fine, no thanks to my elder sis. She had to be the bum to use my SCHOOL library account to borrow reference books for HER uni exams. And who's gonna end up paying the snowballed fine amount? Go on, just make a wild guess...

Wow, I have been writing since yesterday. I started this entry on Tuesday night. It's Wednesday morning now. Boy am I beat..All this writing calls for a celebration. What else but to end off this entry with a nice hot cup of, coffee...

Pulling Off A Steve Irwin: Crocodile Hunter

Does anybody know where I can get some cool and funky looking blog templates? I have tried to Google it, but couldn't get much. Most of them were rather plain looking. I'd be grateful if anybody could help me on this. Thanks! (Ooh, I would be eternally grateful if it's a Beyonce one. Heheh...)

Anyways, I had Hybridoma Technology exam earlier in the morning. It was completely okay except for the last question. The ever-frustrating cell count using haemocytometer thingy question. I really suck at that. Other than that, I think I handled the paper quite okay. Proteomics is on Friday and I have yet to begin revision for that. Bleh..

Downloaded a few songs just now. I kinda like Christina Milian's Dip It Low. And I find the idea of having the female cover of Mario Winan's I Don't Wanna Know sung by Shola Ama called You Should Really Know quite fun. Hah, nevermind. It's just a thing I have in my head.

And then there are some..

I am such a bummer..a big time bummer...a major league bummer. What have I been doing all week? Here's a rundown of the mostly eventless routine:

Morning (okay lah, not morning..) Afternoon: Wake up, morning (afternoon) chores, drink coffee and read papers
1.00-2.00pm: watch the Oprah Winfrey Show
2.00-4.30: Read book, or use the com
4.30-5.00: watch That's So Raven on Disney Channel. Errmm, did I say Disney Channel?? Oh silly me..Errr, what I meant, or rather referred to was, a channel showing only matured-thinking grown up programmes like 20/20, 60 minutes, et cetera. What was I thinking? Disney Channel?? I mean, COME ON...Oh Puh leeze..
5.00-6.00: watch Baywatch Hawai'i on Star World (programmes till 7.00 are still on Star World)
6.00-6.30: The Simpsons
6.30-7.00: The Drew Carey Show
7.00- 7 something: Bathe and pray and stuff
7 something to 8: Have dinner
8- sleep: read book or watch TV or use com

Now, hope I am not making you ppl who are slugging for the exams jealous or anything. Well, technically I should also be one of those slugging for the exams. But sadly, I am not motivated or shall I say disciplined sufficiently to do so. My bad. For those who are showing even the slightest concern over my not-bothered-bout-studying attitude, fret no more for I shall begin my part of mugging tomorrow. Like they say, It's never too late.

Pineapple Flavoured Chicks

So I went down to Cineleisure after work, with the intent of catching Soul'D Outs' swansong performance. Unfortunately, I did not arrive on time. But from their comments, I gathered that it wasn't as good as the competition mainly because of the audience. A boring bunch it seemed like. So when I got there, I realised that the bunch was waiting for me so that we could all go for dinner. We went to Sakura at Far East. There were ten of us actually. We had to wait for more than 30 minutes just to enter the restaurant. While waiting, we were sitting outside the place like a huge bunch of famished beggers waiting to be fed. Haha..No lah. Just exaggerating. But we were sitting outside the place, on the floor mind you. Eventually, we got in and cured out hunger pangs. I had pineapple rice (which was actually served in a pineapple, with all the pineapple scooped out. Well you get the idea) that tasted so good. Well, at least better than that at Al-Ameen.

Oh yah!! I watched White Chicks and it was SOOO FREAKIN' FUNNY (pun intended). HAhahahha..All the black jokes, blonde jokes and YO-MAMMA JOKES!!! hahahaha..And the Bloody hilarious FARTS!! I swear I could have almost died of exhaustion from laughter! I cant stop smiling to myself now. Thank god nobody's looking.

Well, on a serious note (haha) the Semestrals is next week. Gotta start studying soon.

"Tomorrow hopes that we have learned something from yesterday."

Take that, life!

Finally! No more tests, reports, assignments and stuff. Well, at least till the Semestrals. It was soo bloody tiring and frustrating. I am so glad that this episode is over. And the fact that band is suspended a week earlier is just great. I was hoping for a break from everything before I start revision next week.
By the way, I got a proposition to peer tutor Rekha, Sasi, Gabe and Ida for Immunology. This could serve as revision for Hybridoma too. Sasi and Gabe are repeating this module and even now, they're still not pulling it together. I want to help them at least pass this module to prevent them from being dismissed. It would be such a sad case if that happens. The rate is not bad at all I must say. $20 an hour? I mean, get a load of that! But i'll end up spending that money buying them lunch instead. Heheh..
Something went wrong with my blog. I don't know where my real player thingy has gone too..no more music....damn!

aaaAAAHH CCHHHOOORRGHHhhh!!!

That felt good.

Having a stupid bout of flu. It is so irritating. Urgh. I need to rest..sleeeep. The weather is set comfortably for a good sleep. But would I be able to? NOOooooo..
Just blogged for the sake of filling in the gap. No mood to write anymore, until I feel better that is.
