i'm so sorry abt the language. but as crude as it sounds

fuck you vodafone, fuck you school work, fuck you social life, fuck you money.

vodafone has some network problems, and i can't bloody contact anyone. and as someone who doesn't have a landline, things are not good. i'm virtually uncontactable.

school work is piling up. i need to get my essay done, but i have a long day with travellin till abt 7pm tmr.

my social life is crap. we had a malaysian singapore society social today, but i so wasn't in the mood coz i had so much work to do and it kept weighing down on my mind, i bought this 6pound ticket for the party which i didn't go in the end and ended up having to take a 5pound cab ride back. in all i spent 11pounds for something i didn't enjoy at all, probably pissed robyn off, potrayed to the whole world i'm a mugger.

and the money thing is with regard to the 11 pounds i wasted. ironically, i've been saving my ass off packing sandwiches to school nowdays and i just burned 11pounds in 1 night. i thought i could save the money to spend in london. i do have money, and excess to spend. but i don't feel good spending all the money that is given to me, knowing how hard dad works for it. i've been through the scrimps and saves we had to when sis was sent overseas, and now with both of us overseas, i can't imagine how much more difficult it's going to be back home. and i'm flingin money out like no one's business. if i keep talking abt money, ppl will jsut get irritated and like think i'm auntie and all.

OMG i do at least wish vodafone would STOP GIVING ME SHIT TROUBLE.

i'm off to slp, feeling a little tipsy from 1 shots of sakae and 1 cocktail. waking up at 7 to do work. night world. hopefully tmr would be a better day.

sorry if i sound full of woe in the uk, act i'm surviving fine. its just human nature to complain when times get tough, and fail to note down the times when they have fun.

night world. mad world.

i shall be thoroughly honest and say, there have been thoughts running through my mind of how it would be like if i had chosen King's instead of Sheffield. especially when i feel i will suck so badly at the 2000 word essay i'm doing on History of Syphilis, and how i'm lagging behind my lectures, and feeling so stupid amongst my group :( not that intelligence would be compensated if i had gone to another school, its just that human mind tends to make you think of all the "what if's".

i would have been closer to my sister! and i can go running to her everytime i'm bored/lonely/feeling stupid/having trouble [my vodafone bill is 60 fu**ing pounds. its suposed to be a contract of 12.50pounds. TELL ME WHY?] i can buy krispy kreme, go to leicester square for chinese food, bask in the bustle of the life in london.

as opposed to: feeling bored/lonely/stupid/having trouble and settling it alone. living at the bottom of a hill is so not funny. having 3 fire alarms in 4 days [they had one last night, so glad i was at my friend's room] eating 3-day old fried rice for dinner and cutting my finger while chopping carrots.

well of course, the guilt trip hits me and i think of how much money i'm saving now! watever.

we had chinese take-out today and it was SO GOOD. actually come to think of it, the standard is probably like sg's food court mixed rice stall kind of standard. but having been living on cheese on toast and tuna mayo sandwich, i was drooling and ate so much! thus i had 1 scone for dinner. haha

yes and of course, we had cookie dough b&js later. GUESS THE PRICE?



1.99POUNDS! omg! it was half price. that should be abt 6sgd. for 1 pint! HAHAHA and i bought another flavour called "piece of cake" which essentially is strawberry cheesecake. and i was wondering how come ppl gave me weird looks when i told them strawberry cheesecake is the nicest flavour. haha

back to the land of never-ending words.

friday. friday. friday. friday. friday.
london. london. london. london. london.
dad. dad. dad. dad. dad.
sg food. sg food. sg food. sg food. sg food.

i'm gonna make this a quick one as i have hell loads of catching up to do. just so to let you noe, i got 5/12 for my first test. ZOMG HELP, how in the world am i gonna get 60% for my final paper? time to go out less, spend less money, turn into the typical cliched international mugger.

well anyway purpose of blogging wasn't to talk about this. about 1 week ago, at 4am, i got woken up by a bloody alarm. reason being, somebody's brother, who was drunk, broke the glass of the fire alarm thing, rounded the whole 16flats of people (8 ppl per flat) to the car park in the freezing cold in pyjamas. we waited for 30mins outside before they let us in. fine den.

THIS MORNING AT 2AM [i slept at 1am with my physiology book in hand] we got woken up again by the bloody alarm! WTF. this time guess what, 2 fire engines came zooming in urgently, 5 fireman walked briskly to the flat in full fire gear. after 10mins, the lead fire man came out [in those kind of heroic movie looking with the rest behind him], holding something in his hand.





someone from flat 1, was making their TOAST AT 2AM IN THE MORNING [mind you we have a 9 o clock today], i have no idea how a grown 19yr old can BURN TOAST TILL SMOKE COMES OUT AND ACTIVATES THE BLOODY FIRE ALARM.

i rest my case. on the contary this morning, i felt so awake in lectures! unfortunately we had lectures which generally have the lecturer talking about how 5yrs from now, we'd graduate as hard-hearted ppl. somehow i think the cirriculum stresses SLIGHTLY TOO MUCH on patients as no.1. whereas in sg, you get like almost the whole course scientific based.

yupp again i had dissection yesterday, on the gastro-intestinal tract. guess what i was thinking about as i was looking at the furrowed intestines, soft and squishy? heh heh heh KUEY CHAP! gawd. i'm such a greed.

books beckons. update soon den!

yet another dissection session, excuse for me to pig out. i had like a chicken tigh from the half priced roast chicken i got at Sommerfields with brussel sprouts and peas for lunch. finishing off with a strawberry cheesecake cup and japanese green tea.

dilema: i signed up for paintballing on the 20th of October on a Saturday and paid 20pounds for it. but i arranged to go down to london to visit sister on that weekend. and when i asked if they could give a refund? NO REPLY.

why am i getting aggitated over this?
because i really REALLY SERIOUSLY need to see a familiar face i've seen for 19years. I NEED IT :( planning my days with activities just don't seem to do the trick anymore with workload increasing. the initial hype and bustle of moving to a new place has ebbed away. as life becomes a routine..

I WANT TO GO TO LONDON! RARRRRR and i pray that they'll reply me and give me a refund! :(

just a short insight into my first 2 days of official school. after my first dissection practical in our new lab coats and dissection kit, me and vaso got so FREAKED out by the tutorial we headed to the library. i'm not just a typical international student mugger, but i was talking to my housemate who's doing medicine and is local too, she was freaked out and was studying as well.

i spent so long trying to figure out the coronary arteries, till vaso pointed out the book was a little weird that we decided to stop referring to that stupid diagram. haha..

today, after my 2 lectures, which were really useless, like "introduction to Minerva" [some blackboard like thing] and "introduction to The Library" i was done of school at 11. unfortunately, i had to sift thru 265 topics for my History of Medicine essay. it's not just looking at the topic and picking out a topic thats interesting. you have to read the qn, search the library website and see if the library has book on that topic [coz some topics do not have books].

reason being, we need AT LEAST 12-20 quotations from journals, books and internet. to write a 1500-2000 essay. i initially chose History of Leprosy coz it's interesting and there were books on it. but i Srujana chose the same topic too, and it wouldn't be nice if we were doing the same topic as friends. so i went home to re-choose a topic, and i'm doing Diagnosis and Treatment of Syphilis in the first half of the 20th Century.

so for ur information, since abt 3pm till 7pm and from 10pm till 12am, all i did was choose a topic for my essay. woah, GREAT EFFICIENCY. mbbe the culture is rubbing off me. heh heh heh.

i still got to read up for the practical i did yesterday. the structure of lesson is like they show you the prosecctions/cadevers, and den ur responsible for finding out the names and functions and how to spell etc. so unlike in jc where the teacher teaches you the theory, and like repeatedly asks you like "do you understand? any questions?" and den you stone in practicals.

i'm rambling on and on and on abt my course. i shall stop. i'm off to the library to borrow reference books for my essay tmr at 9am. bleah, and its 1208am now. time to shower den slp.

though just for ur information, my housemates are having a discussion on evolution vs creationism. interesting. just 1 problem, i don't noe how i'm going to slp amongst the noise =/
