Exam's Over!
Exam's over! Woohoo!!! Think I did pretty ok, as in, I am quite sure I will pass. However, do hope that I can score above the mean, which is probably the case for all Singaporeans, and I do not want to be below the mean. Not too sure how well it'll go though cos it's pretty tough, stuff which were said won't be tested came up which was kinda sianz diaoz, esp when it is MOST of the first 10 questions which pretty affected the mood of everyone. Sigh...
Anyway, there were pretty tricky questions as well. For example, one of the question was asking about the Ornish program (a program for heart disease patients, a very general explanation but shant go into the details of it) and asking which one of the choices ain't part of the programme.
Basically, all choices given were smth good and wld make sense. However, the answer is the one on Low CARB vegetarian diet cos the real one should be Low FAT vegetarian diet. Damn tricky lah! Ppl who din pay attention to it or din really read e notes wont be aware of it. Haiz...
Anyway, I'm just glad it's over and the tension in e air has dissipitated, though slightly... Cant slack for too long cos the next one will be coming into another 2 months' time which aint that far away considering the whole year's work will be included!
To end off with smth on a lighter mood, shall post a photo on my Inverloch stay.
We stayed beside the beach as I told u guys earlier. Went to the beach on one of the morning. It pretty bare but guess it wld be a nice place to relax. However, the place is quite pack during summer months and the whole town springs to life! If you look at the picture at top left hand side, it's actually a place selling drinks and stuff but it's only opened during the summer period! That is like closed for 9months and open for 3 months or so! This is so crazy! Cos the houses in this stretch of road cost a lot! Haha... Must have made quite a bit during the summer months...

Sorry seems to be the hardest words...
It appears to me that Sorry seems to be the hardest word to say cos no one says it when they're in the wrong...
Yeah, this post is another one ranting abt the disgusting stuff I went thru. I'm not saying I'm in the right, or I'm always right but just need a place to rant and vent my frustrations...
I was playing msn solitaire with piggy juz now. In fact, I've been playing with her quite frequently and she has been losing to me most of the time, thou she does wins me now and then.
Just a moment ago, I was playing with her while having my usual dinner. Well, today's dinner is slightly better cos there's 2 canned food and an egg was added instead of usual one for my saturday dinner. Anyway, that's out of point.
Suddenly, she wanted to go to the toilet and asked me to stop for a while and I was in e midst of clearing my cards. But I stopped. She took bloody long time so I msged her that I am going to wash my plates first and then, I heard the sound of she clearing her cards. Damn bloody pissed off.
I din even check wat cards I have to clear cos I was waiting for her and she cleared her cards without waiting for me, especially when I TOLD HER I WAS WASHING MY PLATES!
When we were both stuck, I closed the game. She was bloody pissed cos she wld ve won the game.
She continued to argue as though she is in the right. As usual, she never admits her mistake no matter wat.
She argued that even if she waited for me, I wld ve been stuck. However, firstly, I was in e midst of clearing my cards. In fact, I still had another Ace to clear. Secondly, no doubt, I might have had been stuck after clearing my Ace. But that is not an excuse for her to go ahead without waiting for me when I waited for her to go to the toilet.
Giving excuses of the mistake she did wont make any difference to the outcome doesnt make her mistake a right and she shld STILL BLOODY HELL APOLOGISE!
She then argued that since I am in the wrong as well, why shld she 'set the precedent'. FUCK LAH!
This is like someone come and slap you back, you pushed the person away and that fucker said u pushed her away so you're in the wrong and you shld apologise first and why shld she 'set the precedent!'
This is damn disgusting. Anyway, I shld be getting used to smth like this. This is not the first time I ve encountered ppl doing somethign fucking irritating and wrong and never apologise.
Earlier this year, someone injured me and though you can consider it's an accident and no one can be blamed, this person shld still apologise.
It's like in a crowded place, you accidentally stepped on someone's foot and you'll still apologise right? Not to mention you stepped that person's and that person's foot fractured, you would apologise even more right? You dun injure someone and walk away without apologising right? (This is an analogy, I din fracture my foot...)
Anyway, I got to know more abt ppl ever since.
The last incident was some ultra nice fellow who 'stpeed on my toe' big time some time ago. Someone was criticising me for my results (which was not too bad) earlier this year and eventually, that person in fact got even better results in the end. For all the shit I had to go through, it ended up in this way that the person got better results. I'm not complaining the better results part but I'm complaining the part on I was criticised when that person got better results. I think I deserve some justice. And, as usual, no apologies. I was severely disgusted ever since.
Hate these stuff! Whenever reminded abt it, I get damn pissed off! Argghhh.... Which is why, I'm choosing who to mix with very carefully nowadays. In fact, think it's kinda bad cos sometimes, I feel like isolating myself and not talk to ppl. Which is very different from what I'm like when I juz came here, always crapping here and there... Finds it kinda difficult to do so nowadays... Dun know why too... Sigh...

Implication of a Medical Student's Comment
I was vaguely mentioned on Cruz's lastest entry as 'that medical student from Aussie'. At least I reckoned it's me that's being mentioned. Actually, most ppl who reads e comments or follow his blog wld likely guessed it's me cos I did mention in my comments that I am studying in Aussie.
I left a comment on that entry on my opinion, not so much of from e point of view of 'medical student' but more of a 'friend' but with some tiny bit of medical knowledge which, like many others, are definitely prone to errors.
When I told my fren abt it, she told me that there are implications to it. No doubt I was leaving comments as a blog reader, but cos ppl know I am a medical student, they will put greater weigh to it. Though I emphasized that I am only a first year med student and a certified doctor MUST be consulted, it's still not very good to leave comments esp regarding medical advice.
Which means, cos of my 'social role' I ve been restrained on the comments I can put due to the social expectations. Better watch wat I say but I still can give minor advice on simple ailments like colds and flus I reckon... LoLz...
I've asked Cruz to remove my comments, which he has not moderated (both the first and e second one asking him to remove it) so you wont be able to see my comments lah...

Springs Coming :) ! ...and so is exams... :(
I reckon spring is coming soon! Cos flowers seem to be blooming all around! Or maybe it's global warming? Remember how I showed you guys the tree went bare? Not that the leaves are back lah... But some trees/plants around are blooming! And it looks nice! Brings the feeling of life back!
Hopefully, the weather will become warmer instead of the cold and gloomy winter... Sigh... I'm a Tropical Boy wor! At least that's wat one of the locals called me though... LoLz...
Too bad, as spring approaches, so is my exam! Argghhh... Just as one exam was over a couple of weeks ago, another one is coming! And this one, I dun ve time to revise! I'm seriously behind schedule! Feel kinda bad that I'm blogging when I shld be studying... And no one is leaving comments despite the effort! Wat can I say? My blog is getting so boring so it's no wonder it's becoming so silent here... Sigh... Maybe things will improve when I'm back... Otherwise, at most stop blogging... Or just take it as a venting anger place... LoLz...
Took this pic when I arrived at Mannix soon after in Feb. Can you find me? If not, you're so dead! LoLz... I looks quite decent here wor! But not gonna buy the photo though... Cos too ex liaoz... about 15bucks which I dun wanna spend... Haha...
Shall go and study now! Bye!

Aimlessly
This week has been tiring, so tiring that I'm relying so much on coffee. I've got no idea why am I so tired. No doubt, I'm sleeping far less than what I used to be having, but I was fine for 2 weeks. Probably the effects are starting to set in. This is bad considering my exam is in 2 weeks time. Sigh. I hate examinations.
This is so bad for my mental health... LoLz...
Anyway, sorry for the lack of posts though I doubt many ppl are reading this. Well, as promised, I shall post one photo on Inverloch though there are plenty more left. Anyway, this is taken at the coast and it's call the Eagle Point though no one knows why. Probably cos it looks like the nest on a cliff or smth. Well, interepret it your way bah. Think this photo very nice and I actually used it in my project, my rural assignment. Used it for the cover page. Initially took a photo from one website but my fren and I decided that this photo is much nicer. LoLz...

Inverloch Stay
As you guys know, I have to pay for the amount of internet I used, which is volume based. Hence, there has been a serious lack of photos since I came here. But, I'll still show you guys some of the photos I took from Inverloch which is a small town south east of Melbourne, about 2-3 hours drive away. It's a coastal area with only a mere population of 2500!!! This is unbelievable!
But some of the photos I took are from towns around Inverloch as well such as Leongatha and Wonthaggi. They travel between towns frequently and dun go thinking that must be damn far! Cos some of the towns are quite near, about 15-20 mins drive. So, it's a bit like travelling from Bukit Batok to CCK or smth like this.
Since the internet is volume based, so I have edited the photos a bit before posting them up. Not as big and nice as the original ones but do bear with it lah... Paisei... And I merged them together to save some $$$... LoLz...

Basically, these pictures are the places I stayed at most of the time. With the exception of the bottom left 2 photos (the one house with blue roof and the red wall), all of them are taken at the place I stayed.
I stayed at a caravan park at Inverloch. Not all of them are caravans lah. The one I stayed at is actually a cabin with 2 rooms (1 room with 2 double decker, 4 beds, and one with double bed where I stayed!), toilet, kitchen and living room merged together. It's ok for me thou there are ppl who finds it crappy but I think it's acceptable though...
But cos the weather there is quite cold, much colder than Melbourne cos of the strong winds from the sea, the cabin sometimes shake at nite cos of the winds! And it can get very cold in e middle of the nite... Luckily I had a heater in my individual room! Muaahhhaaa!!! The other one did not have a heater thou...
The group photo you saw are mainly the people from Singapore! But we have one malaysian, Singapore PR who has served army cos he's a 2nd generation PR and I din know of such rule but having to serve army when you're only a PR kinda sad but well, it's the rules bah... No choice... Anyway, there's a thai who is a thai, lolz... sounds very funny but he has came to Aussie to study for abt 5 years and he's really a ncie person thou still very young. And there's a burmese who is now a Singaporean. The rest are basically Singaporeans.
The bottom 2 photos I mentioned earlier is the place where we (everyone who went to inverloch, abt 20ppl) have our discussions and share some of the ideas and what we learnt through the visits and stuff. Apparently, it's the house of an artist and someone commented the house looks a bit like Flint's Stones house. Not very sure cos I never watch that cartoon much. But din ve that impression thou...
Okie, will post more photos if I ve the time and if there ARE ppl reading! Cos no comments received for a long long time! My blog having spider webs and dust liaoz! LoLz...

Back From Inverloch!
WooHoo!
Hi everyone, I'm back from one week rural placement from Inverloch! It was really fun though sometimes feel kinda tiring but overall, it was a nice experience. No doubt part of the trip was marred by some events here and there but overall, I love the place! Too bad I did not go with the ppl I like... Not that I dislike the ppl I went with but would be happier if the ppl around me were korkor and piggy... Sigh...
Anyway, the place was nice with nice ppl and nice sceneries! But some stuff were pretty expensive but I kept within my budget! WooHoo! Think I only spent abt 30bucks which is kinda cool! Muaahhaaa!!!
Anyway, my results for the end of semester exams are out! The one which I was so stressed up when I juz came back to Aussie, any impression? Anyway, I'm pretty happy with my results.
Too bad the school cock up and our results were updated several times here and there and there are ppl who changed from a clear pass to a clear fail which is so depressing. There are also ppl from borderline or fail to clear pass which is good news but still traunmatising isnt it?
Anyway, I am not gonna reveal my updated score here cos of some personal reasons which I wouldn't want to share. But, I can just say I'm happy with my results and I do not want to compare with ppl here and there cos it's tiring and draining. Which is partly why no one knows my updated and final result except for a few ppl. You know who you are...
Ok, for the time being, it's time back to hectic schedule of endless assignments and upcoming exam! Argghhh!!!
