死 MIDTERMS.

stress level was seriously at its peak the whole of last week.

asian psy: mon's lect was only half completed cos the first half was dominated by the previous week's material which wasnt finished. tut on tues and we did some tests, for which results wld be a big part of our ppt the following wk (today). we're also supposed to do readings to aid us in tt ppt but readings werent uploaded (and lect wasnt even completed). results for the entire cohort was only uploaded on wed nite, together with readings for last wk, which turned out to be a total of ~100 pages of journal articles worth of reading.

tt was SIMPLY WONDERFUL and ABSOLUTELY CONSIDERATE.

we've actually requested for a postponing of the ppt cos the following wk was our midterms week and we haf HELL lots of things to study. the request was obvly rejected, but its ok. but 100 PAGES of readings????? if we haf only THAT to do for the entire wk, its of cos possible. but hello?? 8 chapters of biopsy to be tested on the following mon AND personnel midterms (rmbr i said i dun feel like i've absorbed anything regarding this module?) on tues is alr murderous. NO JOKE. how is it even possible tt we can finish the freaking 100pgs of readings AND do up a ppt within 4 days??

it really pissed me off. VERY BADLY. looking at the 3 journal articles tt im supposed to read and digest within DAYS on top of all the stress from the many many things to study for midterms is really just !!!!!!!!!!!! poor peiwen. she's almost always the receiver of my er, profanities =x

academics aside, the other only MOST horrible thing tt ever happened to me in my entire life happened just YESTERDAY.

i awoke early on mon to revise some last bits for biopsy midterms. was concentrating as usual when i tot i felt sth on the back of my neck. 1st tot was of cos tt its just my hair tickling, but on 2nd tots, my hair nv felt so "rough", so i decided to just sweep my hair away from my neck AND TO MY HORROR IT TURNED OUT TO BE A FREAKING COCKROACH WHICH ENDED UP ON THE BACK OF MY HAND.

i swear, it was !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i obvly flung my hand damn hard from the shock i received and the freakingly grossly revoltingly digusting kar chua fell onto the floor. after which it was OBVIOUSLY killed by shieldtox >=(

its just so damn disgusting and traumatising tt i feel damn eeeewwwwww even at the thought of it. can u imagine?????? my NECK!!!!! AGRHHHH *shudders*
to add on, the kar chua wasnt exactly small............ X( X( X( X( X(

to think i was still reading the part on our somatosensory system when it happened. -.- i swear my skin's sensitivity is up ten-fold now lah... so much for waking up early to study..

damn the kar chua. the shock trauma didnt subside completely until abt an hour later which meant i wasted A LOT of time!!! and lotsa time was spent scrubbing my neck and hand too.. somemore midterms morning..... AHHH. if i fail my test, its the kar chua's fault!!!!! >=(

it is now one of my lifelong aims to banish cockroaches from the face of this earth. WHY arent they eliminated already??? are there reli "so many" good genes in them tt nature doesnt de-select them???

argh. kar chuas.

***

feel so relieved now that all my core midterms are over. it was really really bad over the weekend. cant even enjoy the 2 days properly! :( but they're finally all over, and YES WE SURVIVED. maybe ppl should set up some website tt worships us uni students for all the shit we go thru just for tt piece of paper huh?

after recording midterms on thurs, i'll be totally free :)) its temporary of cos, but i really thk we deserve tt break. thanks to the uni life tt almost "broke" us as well.

oh i forgot. concert is THIS SATURDAY!!!! ahhhh. to think it was only the 1st time i played jap graft during sectionals today =x hurr. i reli hope i can play ok on sat!

meanwhile, interested ppl can still contact me for tickets!! :D

lol alright tt was a very last-min sales push.

its been a very long day, and a very long week (or was it 2weeks? i duno). was so completely drained out by sch tt der was no time to even think of other stuff tt're important to me. hmm. actually its been quite a myriad of bad stuff happening these 2 mths eh? :( im really hoping for some kinda positive change in things mann..

and its been real long since i talked to my favouritest girls :(( but, now tt midterms are almost over, chat sessions can resume again! :D looking fwd to tt ;)

oh. and im so glad my comp's frenly with me again; it finally can load facebook! :D few days back the window will just hang whenever i go fb so i totally cldnt access it at all :( but its ok. now im happy :) ah comp ar, pls stay like this ok! :D

ciaos :)


sometimes ppl are just so idiocentric.

but that said, if u want something so much, then why arent u willing to take the initiative to do sth abt it? why do u see the problem, but choose to leave it der and not do anything abt it when u can? problems dont usually go away by themselves, u know?

just a thought.

and u know, sch really, really sucks? or maybe i shld change the "s" to "f" sometimes when i use the word..

if im a rabbit, i wld've died long ago.

i dont even feel lke ranting anymore. maybe cos i've repeated the rants several times so im tired. but, really, ranting wont solve the problem and it'll just make ppl feel bad tt they cant seem to help. i really dont think der's a solution to my situation(s) right now. even if der is, its all gonna be based on my own efforts. u all cant help me study, can u? yeah i really wish u can, but its alright, i'll settle it :)

still, thank you-s to jie and ai ai :))

i think its de 1st time i spoke so little during section dinner. they must be amazed at how quiet i can be [haha]. i dont like to stay quiet though. i really prefer the crazy, rah-rah me u know? at least i zi-high i feel happy myslf even if it means impeding on others'... :P

actually, i really have nth to blog abt. bye.




random: oh damn wad happened to my slp-early resolution =/

random random: next mon seemed quite far away. until a minute ago when i just just JUST rmbred i haf a report due on..... monday. fuck.


i've become sucha huge procrastinator im scaring myslf =x once again i've reached the point of finding it impossible to finish the readings i've accumulated.. did i mention i feel very insecure abt asian and personnel psy? all e way since sem started til now, i dun feel lke i've truly absorbed anything from asian and personnel. im not even doing anything for personnel proj cos it seems like, der's "nth" to do? =x hur. u noe, this is really bad? are midterms even still on??? i seriously feel like im still on holiday! X(

basically its just a very complex feeling. feeling like der's "nth" to do yet having readings accumulating behind u... bahhhh sucks x(

alright alright sch aside! went to watch quarter to five's jamming on fri nite cos my mom went for mj (again) and i didnt feel like staying home alone so i decided to go out [yes despite the long to-do list. kill me :(]. din regret that move cos their jamming was really enjoyable! :D havent sat in for jamming sessions for quite some time and it was one gd session to be in. at least i enjoyed and "destressed" for 2hrs! :D

headed to mac's for supper [dang i shared 2 packets of large fries with peiwen =/ AHHHHHHH!! peiwen lets really go swim soon ok??] and contributed to their think-of-band-name process... hahah ok thk i din contribute much LOL. but yeah quarter to five's a nice name! :D all the best for 7th dec AFTH performance! :))

went to youwei's place for cny gathering today! haha ok got a bit lost cos i alighted at the wrong bus stop BUT gd thing it wasnt tt bad cos it was just 3 blks away. u know sometimes one stop is like one expressway away from the other? =x hurrrr. anyhoo, finally got to play my yearly ban lak!!! XD was super suay at the starting cos keep getting "picture" when i alr haf like 12 or sth -.- zz reli damn irritating! shld've worn a red shirt der. haha but gd thing my luck became better towards e end and won back a bit. no big bucks cos we're betting only cents.. lols. spent quite a lot of time singing karaoke at his place too. so fun to haf de system at home!! his karaoke cd collection quite up also so its like kbox lol. great tt company's gd too! :D
