Thirteen Rabbits

eh. nothing much to update. did i mention we went to changi beach last week? weather was great! saw lots of lizards basking in the sun. but the largest one was still under a metre long i think. also saw a decomposing snake washed up on the beach. hmmmm thats all.

went to johor again today. probably gonna go again tmr. chili is very cheap there. but im not going there for chili. also had expensive bakkutteh / pigs trotters there. actually not that great la. i thought the BKT wasnt peppery enough. i think mum makes better BKT. and i prefer pig trotters with vinegar. this one no vinegar :S

i am tired. i need to figure VPost out. but im very busy these days cuz next 2 weeks got tests la. and tutorials and stuff to hand in and i havent really done them :(((

if SP is willing to order for me i'll be more than happy! lol

im a little upset. i sign in to eliser, but when i try to connect to a journal database like sciencedirect or medline, the library doesnt log in so i can't access the journals!!!! dammittttt!!!! now i gotta camp out at the library monday afternoon to finish my assignment! shit!

ok

bah. i feel like a deflated balloon. unfortunately i am not hardly as 2D as a deflated balloon.
i need to learn to let go.

8am lecture tmr. *deflates some more*

it's gonna be a longggggg long long longg dayy/weekend because of that assignment!!

i only just finished half of monday's presentation. i get a lot of motivation to study/work on assignments when im on the train. all that motivation vaporises when i reach home. -_-

i am regaining my sense of taste and hearing! with it, my appetite as well :(((((((((((
such a waste

ok im not emo anymore.
was thinking of last year's NZ trip lol time flies! one year already!
i was listening to plastic tree's dummy box and i thought of wellington. don't know why i remember so vividly that turn just before we reach the backpacker's. and then i thought of Auckland and the morning we were hurrying to the jetty and jackie stopping to take a photo of some kind of fountain we passed by. lol

tch. i was clearing my throat in class yesterday and dr chua thought i was burping out loud! like a guy! wwwwwwwwwwth! i may dress liike a guy but i don't behave like a guy (i don't even eat with one foot propped up on the seat (like some chinese ive seen. goodness cant you sit properly?) so uncivilised! and i was all 'whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat????! i wasnt burpingggg' and no one seems to want to believe me. bah whatever. i think dr chua needs new glasses, and get her hearing checked. tsk tsk!

the good news is im getting better! saved $25 in GP consultation fees. don't like the GP here. everyone says she's kooky. and the price of whatever medicine u get from her is super high! + i can probably get something similar OTC at 1/4 the price (with the exception of antibiotics).
i knew my immune system would pull through! (haha whatever la. maybe one day i'll get so sick that by the time i visit the doctor, it's too late.)
i also realised that using the internet to read up on medicines is good reference. when doctors prescribe something they say eat this before/after meals but they don't say why. and i only just found out it isnt just because some drugs are hard on the stomach, but having a meal first increases the bioavailability of the drug!

i am emo-ing now. not the depressive emo but the angry emo.
i am upset. the world has upset me.
this angry world is contagious.

i am very tempted to stir something up but i won't. it is most unpleasant to keep such nasty emotions in.

it makes me feel like the world is hopeless. everyone's just gonna burn in hell in the end. forget heaven. i should just give up on everyone.

i am unwell. eh. yes. since yesterday. i suppose this has made me extra cranky.
one of the most enjoyable things in life - eating- has been dulled by my lack of a sense of taste.
i need a course of antibiotics. too bad you cant get those OTC. i did however, get my hands on some symptom relievers. ummmmmm i'll leave the rest to my immune system. i really do not like going to the doctor's. although if i do go one day i should ask for a tongue depressor so i can make another fixation stick.
wonder if i should live a healthier lifestyle.
i was walking around like a zombie today. keeping my fingers crossed that tmr will be better.

time flies while my nose runs.
my nose runs and my ears pop.
my ears pop and my throat grates.
it is a most unpleasant .... experience.

i hope i get better tmr.

and i know u guys don't like me. when i say i die a little inside everytime someone goes BOOMZ or SHINGZ, u IM me and say one of the two. fine. pray this cold kills me then.

how the hell did this snowball into such a popular exclamation. perhaps because it originated from Ris Low. perhaps i might take to it better if someone intelligent muttered it. why the rest of Singapore wants to act like airheads is beyond me.

im cranky because i can't find shoes. im cranky because i hate the congestion in my whatucall it nasal cavity? urgh. im cranky mostly because i have a lot of schoolwork to do, but am not in the mood for due to this shitty cold. + the fact that my nose feels raw. urgh.

the doctor who gave us the ocular disease lecture today reminded me of jeff corwin. i was watching that jeff corwin show on animal planet while having breakfast at 6am.

other that that i don't really have anything to say.

oh. his lecture wasnt too bad. it was quite interesting. um. maybe im just more attentive cuz it's the first time having him as a lecturer.

damn i wish i had the brains to be a doctor.
im sure they study very hard. his glasses were super thick. it made his eyes look super tiny :S
when i see someone with a title 'Dr' + they have a high prescription i think 'that was the price he/she paid. haiyo. studied so hard'.
i want to be that awesome without sacrificing my eyes. wonder if that is possible.
my myopia is below 'average'. i guess im resigned to dreaming.

it makes me uneasy when people talk about school.

advanced neurophysiology and binocular vision.
is all downhill from here.

went to pontian. pontian... got a lot of fruits. a lot of flies. and another hit-and-run involving a dog.
so sadddddddddd! i was so hungry when we arrived at pontian, but seeing that accident just about robbed me of my appetite. that, and the hoards of flies there la.

we were waiting to cross the road when i spotted a dog running across the junction about 60 metres from us. it was trying to outrun a white van! knn dunno what the hell the driver was doing. he didnt see the dog and just ran over it! we saw the dog roll a few times under it and then one of the wheels ran right over it!! omgggggggggggggg omggggggggg omgggggggggggggg the worst part was when the dog was tumbling under the van! it was shock and helplessness and disbelief in one! i thought the dog was gonna be flattened but it jumped right up and limped off to the pavement! and at first the dog looked so scared and one of its hind legs couldnt even support its own weight. then it sort of just gave up and laid on the street. the dog a bit goondu la for trying to cross such a busy road like that, so we thought it probably wasnt a stray. cuz strays are streetwise. and this one had a collar la.

omggggggggggggggggggg soooooooooooooooooo sadddddddddddddddddddd :( :(

it was still there when we passed by a few hours later. dunno if its owner will find it. poor thing.

u know, i have never seen a veterinary clinic in msia. and i doubt the owner would be willing to pay the medical fees for the dog. it was practically a half-stray la

oh ya. bloody hell. second link toll so expensive. i think at immigration it is about 5$. then have pay toll before u enter the highway. cannot escape one. 10+ ringgit! wa. no wonder second link not popular. but woodlands checkpoint always jam. jam at msia side. and then after u leave msia immigration, the roads in Johor also jam. too much traffic la.

sheeesh i have a pile of work to do, but i am very bored.
i use the term loosely. i am not really bored. whats the word to describe that deflated bleh feeling? when nothing piques your interest and days just pass? nothing worth getting excited about (unless i escape into my imagination, or, youtube anything related to ryutaro)

bleh.

except i hardly feel flat. i am so bloated. i must be morphing into a grub. :(

the good news is it has been raining a lot lately. very pleasant.

im developing a taste for kitkat. no more bueno. haha! nothing beats rocher though.
i found whittaker's at candy empire. at double the NZ selling price of course. whittakers > cadbury
whittakers FTW!!!

i learnt that cassis is the name of a place in... france? i think? it can also refer to some kind of a black currant. or something la. it also happens to be a song by the Gazette.

chassis refers to the supporting frame of a car. andddddd u don't sound the 's' at the back.


interesting things......... words > people
anything worth mentioning about them is strange. odd. but hardly interesting.
i really need to brush up my vocab. i read but don't retain.
such a waste.

mehhhhhh my lower back is aching cuz ive been sitting here all day.
i have never liked reading official documents. they are so lengthy. they define every single thing. the funniest thing i read all day was this

3.1 General

3.1.1 Acceleration of a body

a

(self-explanatory)

NOTE Acceleration is measured in metres per second squared, in units of g.

3.1.2 Acceleration of a body due to gravity

a

(self-explanatory, g=9.806m/s2)

eh. self explanatory also must say. -_-
all because of visual ergonomics im stuck readings a bunch of british standards.

what a pain. literally.

who wants to research on ice hockey, visual ergonomics at the rink and ocular protection during play?

a whole lot of group work this semester. i don't know how 12 people can be in a group. it is a nightmare cuz i don't know who's doing what. i don't know what im supposed to do. im not even sure what the assignments are.

pubmed refuses to load for me. i hate navigating the UM websites (blackboard, library etc).
technology pisses me off sometimes.

im also sick of the train rides home. im frustrated because im so insanely bored. havent seen anyone interesting. not in school, not in town, and not on the train. bored to insanity. everyone just seems sooooooooooooooo very dull.
i think im starting to act crazy. i think people are starting to shoot me that 'nutcase' look. but when i meet their eyes all i can think is 'borrrrrrrrring'.

and im super upset i keep gaining weight or cant lose weight. bloody hell!

im also bothered that cuz there are so few practicals, im not gonna be prepared for the practical exams.

another 7 modules this semester. really ah. bullet train la.
i have no idea how to tackle advanced neurophysiology la. i don't like this self-study thing.

hai. no lessons tmr and thursday. more cancelled days. normally i would rejoice, but it is the 3rd week and ive probably gone to school 8 or 9 times. it is frustrating because it means the lectures will be squished to the end of the term and semester which means less time for revision. and the academic calendar is squished enough as it is! daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. i just want to get the lectures over with!

ive got a pile of lecture notes to file!
