YES! I just hope to NEVER see you again!! Stay away from me before I obtain a restraing order against you, Exams!
Slacker Amanda April 27, 2009
The 2nd last paper is coming in 7 hours and 40 mins! I am not sleeping, not prepared and totally not in the mood for examinations.
I have been slacking since the end of the BS206, Biophysics paper… Going for 3 hours swim/dip in the pool, went for a dinner date with Jensen, tuition, playing Facebook and watching anime on crunchyroll.
I read through the notes twice but can’t seem to answer the past years’ papers.. either my brain has malfunctioned or I am totally in the mood for playing right now. Even my Sparky is chasing me to sleep. She came outta my mum’s room to find me and climbed onto the sofa where I was lying and settled nicely onto my notes. I had to move her outta the way but she again promptly settled where my notes were placed.
Now I lost focus and re-reading the notes again for the 3rd time. Selective lectures that is.. But I still can’t do the exam papers!! ARGHS!! *curses**
I would be so glad to rid of LZX soon!!
Finally! April 23, 2009
I can concentrate on my papers!! No more 80 levels to constantly be on my back! =) Happy!! Now to tackle the offensive line of BS206 Headon!
Becoming Jane April 22, 2009
I give it ultimate thumbs up.. Its more than a bittersweet love story… An ending that Jane Austen might describe as Ironic… Ahhhh…
Mistake April 21, 2009
Alicia, sorry for dragging you into the picture but at least now things are cleared more or less.. This is usually what happens when people who do not know each other well make assumptions. I am not saying that C or H are both right, but perhaps sometimes, it is best to take things with a pinch of salt.
I know that you were concern over the issue and honestly when I met you before the Immuno exam I was wondering if C told you anything about it. And really I was not surprised when you wanted to make things okay between everyone. I would too but it would be a bit weird cause I do not know C well either. But I can vouch for H and myself that we are people who won’t take betrayal or backstabbing (or when people make false claims against us) lying down.
People are sensitive creatures and that is why we often tell people to have heart or at least think about other people… yet this is also one main point most people forget and just ignore.. As for the case, be assured that it can be declared as “closed”? =)
I won’t comment about the case started first that is why I removed the post below changing them often. But the case about the “pot calling the kettle black” will stay…. because I think it can serve as a message to everyone including myself NEVER to make assumption about people’s behaviour unless you know them.
I think this is very very important.. perhaps that is how enemies are being made…
Mood-less April 21, 2009
Super super super not in the mood to continue mugging.. It is as if the first 2 papers have sucked my soul dry. I am still struggling to finish studying my immunology with only 2 more lectures to go which I somehow just cannot seem to absorb anything inside.
Time is running all out and I am trying to catch them (which still does not explain why I am still online) Motivation please come to me!!
Puh-lease…. April 20, 2009
I just realized something sad. Very very sad.. Not death-sad, not loss-sad, neither is it betrayal-sad…
(This post has some content deleted because it is just plain stupid to put up here. It involves people with feelings and some with just plain no consideration of other people’s feelings. For those who read the post before I edited it – GOOD FOR YOU!! {^.^} )
Saying other people “icky” and other sorts about others is rather mean and sad, especially when you do not know the other person well. Instead when piped our interests, you became more out of line, being sarcastic going to the extend that we might be there just to seek an opportunity to flame you. Puh-lease… If we were that sort of people, you might not live to see daylight.. (a metaphor only) And moreover, you were the one who started on saying others first (icky) and now its practically as the chinese saying goes “恶人先告状” not that I am saying you are the 恶人.. Just that its like the pot calling the kettle black.
No harm reading people’s blog and even if it is 3/4 times, I don’t mind people reading that much, I have nothing to hide.. and after all, usually if a blog is interesting enough, people would want to read more right? Must someone have some ulterior motive for blog-hopping??
Oh well.. I just realise that this whole situation is a bit ridiculous. =)
(and if the person above reads this, you are entitled to your thoughts and actions. Meanwhile all the best in your exams too..)

Movies! April 19, 2009
Today I mugged for my elective by watching movies! O,O
I watched Seven Pounds, House Bunny, The Dark Knight and Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging… all in preparation for my elective on Wednesday. So now I need to remember the characters and how I can apply them to the context of Cinema and all the things I learnt about my elective. If not just crap my way through somehow.
That means I would have tomorrow and Monday to mug for my Immunology Examination which comprises of 80% MCQ that requires more than 1 answer and 20% essay… Still not that bad, but I need to really read through and memorise everything.
—————
Today I finally get to talk/scream/lash out at Jensen.. Things are not going smoothly between us and we pretty much are in the complex situation right now.. kinda at a transition stage of moving from pre-adulthood into the world of freakingly-overworked adults. It is a major transition, one that both are not prepared for; though working towards the futuristic goals but still we are like 2 different worlds. He is busy working his a$$ off to make things easier but I am not yet in the state of monetary distress so we are seeing things a bit not eye to eye at the moment.
But one thing for sure is that we are each other… My strength is his and his strength is mine…
5 more papers before it is the end. To endure everything now before enjoying the fruits..
So it begins April 15, 2009
First paper in 8hours and 35mins! (edited : Slept @ 4am woke @ 6am.. do the math)
Sleep definitely have to be much less now… Gonna read through one last time and sleep…
MCQs = 100 of them.. MCQs = 70 of them for 70%.. prof super LXXX…. (edited 7.25pm after paper)
A new phobia…
Wish me luck!
:( April 13, 2009
How come I can end up studying almost everything on Virology but not remember a single thing? WHY?! Exams is in 4 days time with Virology on 16th and my Proteomics/Genomics on the 17th… I have read through a few lectures on the latter and to my dismay, I cannot remember anything.. same goes for Virology.. I studied today since morning till night, reading through at least 50% through but I still cannot remember the details! I understand the mechanism but with the exams being MCQ and with the risk of negative marks, I really have to memorise all the details. This is so not my forte.. 
I wish I have more time.. I still have my TTQ to do, and I hope tomorrow I can rush at least some… I still haven’t got a move on the thing.
April’s Challenge April 9, 2009
Things to rush finish..
- TuttiQuanti starting from level 0.. TO complete by Tuesday, 14th April
- Mugging for examinations
My examination schedule (horrors of all horrors)
- 16 APR – BS208 (Virology)
- 17 APR – BS313 (Functional proteomics and genomics)
- 21 APR – BS207 (Immunology)
- 22 APR – HL813 (What is Cinema)
- 24 APR – BS206 (Biophysics)
- 27 APR – BS209 (Advanced Biochemistry)
- 29 APR – BS210 (Bioinformatics)
The blue coloured modules are my Year 2 cores, the purple is my Year 3 core, and the green is my elective (which I dumbly forgot to S/U)
SO now I have a race to finish up the TuttiQ before all major exams and read finish all my notes with time to spare to rush exam questions. And it is not as if I can spot questions now, when there are like 2 exams being MCQ-based. I am so dead. =X
But I promise I WILL MAKE THROUGH THIS! (i so hope so)
*Cries* April 9, 2009
Sobs sobs, I have less than 4 hours to get my report done! I am so tired! Everything is all disorganised and somehow, I am starting to wish that I had taken over the entire report from the very beginning, cause I seem to have all my group members including me being lost at what is what and what should we do etc… Now it is starting to bug me that I have to not only proof-read but also redo some graphs and also edit things here and there.
Gawd! I so wanna cry…
Can I? April 7, 2009
Almost completed all the lab reports with only BS209 report to edit and BS206 report to just print out. After which both reports are printed and handed on Thursday, I am somewhat freed from reports. Or am I really free at all?
Exams are in just a week’s time. I have not even touched Virology and it being the first paper I wonder what should I do… It becomes worse when I totally have not done that 80 levels shit of TuttiQuanti for my Biophysics module and knowing my physics I so need to get this done asap to get my full 30 marks of CA. GAWD!!
At least I can say I have cleared 80% of the reports with only 20% coming from BS209. Haix.. I so wish exams aren’t starting that soon.
*Headache*
Chef for Hire Vs Take home Chef April 1, 2009
Just a show of hands on how many think that the show “CHEF FOR HIRE” is a better show than the American Version “TAKE HOME CHEF”??
Honestly I think that the latter is better! The chef himself is super super gorgeous *drools* Curtis Stone! Gawd!! JUst drop dead OMG hot! hahas.. (no offense J~) The food he cooked are super simple that you yourself can follow without difficulty; just the kind of dishes that you would spend time making at home but a bit more fancy.. He picks girls up and cook for them, plans the food and menu on the spot in the supermarket.
But the Singapore’s version “CHEF FOR HIRE” is just super cui.. First of all I think the chef is goofy and should perhaps just stay behind the kitchen wall.. It’s not that I am saying that he is ugly or anything just that his accent and his facial expressions make me feel like “WTH this is a cooking show! People watch to see you cook instead!! It’s super distracting” kinda feelings..
Maybe it is a one woman feeling here but honestly what I think is even weirder about the whole show is that the chef Ryan DRAWS the food out. I mean how can you plan a meal by drawing? I don’t see the point!! Moreover, he goes to rather high end places to shop for the ingredients.. LIke who normally goes to “The Butcher Shop” where is sells beef specially to get meat for cheeseburger?! I would rather go to the supermarket or to the wet market where things are fresh yet reasonable..
Either how, I just think that the CHEF FOR HIRE is really a far cry from TAKE HOME CHEF.. I watched the former once or twice and I am so turned off by it..
