RAWR!!! hasnt been blogging over the past week. Dunno why but i just didnt feel like blogging yet until the urge starts coming back! haha...
lesson just ended, finished my clinical session back from Arthur St. It was pouring really heavily and i am all drenched and here i am cowering in library faithfully posting an entry =D but all's good! i learnt something really useful today. They taught us how to measure blood pressure with the sphygmomanometer (fail my spelling kthnx) using the ausculatory method (???) but hmmm still cant do it properly though....
Okay. its been reaaally cold ever since i got back from singapore. when i mean reaaaally cold its reaaally reaaaally cold. but still i just wear a shirt and a jumper despite many people say i siao to wear so little in such cold weather. Cuz maybe i wanna get accustomed to this kind of weather better haha... Plus, waking up to such cold weather is a real PAIN cuz i just dun wanna get out of my warm blanket. siannzzz
Anyway. Long said that it started hailing yesterday over at where he stays, ie its raining ice!!! And breathing mist is sooo coool omg! ICE BREATH! rawr!
okay thats generally how cold it is now. What i did over the past week...
first day of school is already so HAPPENING! clarence's bday is on and we all get together at his house for a suprise birthday party, which turn out to be not-so-suprising after all because someone let the cat out of the bag.
Tuesday, I was watching batman AGAIN for the second time cuz it is SO GOOD!
"Why so seriousss?"
"Lets put a smile on that face" (Joker, 2008)
everybody loves Hugh Ledger. His legacy shall live on!
Wednesday was spent bitching over at owen's place with him, xtie, doie and oi, since he cooked such awesome meal for all of us.
Thursday... nope nothing
Friday... Bible study after soo long not seeing my church peeps! Also had a live frog heart dissection which was sooo coool! awesome heart (lub! dub!) which slowly fibrillated away on my watch (lub dub pssshh) and then finally flatlined (peeeep)
Saturday... studying with jordan at library and then soccer with the med guys
Sunday... went to city for Wesley Church in the morning with jordan and manuel, then went Paddy's Market. Met up with my Indo friend Jessica for awhile. Lunch at Jordan's hse. Then afternoon church at 'Focus', fellowship dinner with the church and finally one-to-one session with weibin. looong day!
hmmm on a side note, i found a nice singaporean friend over at baxter so i wun be so lonely after all =D
yup! Another new individual assignment and group project for this course, and yup! i have to relive through the horror again. ohwells...

went out to watch movie with my fav peeps... since not many would free in the morning, i just asked ying and fel out to avoid dissapointment of getting pangseh haha... Its really nice to talk with them over breakfast and lunch =D
watched 赤壁 (red cliff) with them. The movie is on the Three Kingdom Era and focuses on Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang trying to defeat CaoCao. Its exciting at the first last part. But it gets reeealy draggy at the middle. And when the exciting battle is about to start at the end, it says "To Be Continued" and i was like =.=
Oh wellls, talk about being anticlimatic. expecting much more on the sequel.
But still, their battle strategies are impressive but thats all the show is worth, apart from all the big actors and actresses. (ZhaoWei is soooo cute)
a big doe-eyed boy
meets a big doe-eyed girl
they fall in love... but they cant be together.
classic love plot.
me with ying and fel. Look at them so excited while anticipating the movie to start.
And then in the afternoon went out to watch batman with my mom and sis.
batman is like so nice, can. Other movies are like so... whatever! But this one is a must watch, duh!
being b1tChy... but I think the show is reeaally awesome! Lots of action and less of talking. The movie is exciting througout, from beginning to end. The main villains are joker and two-face. joker is really creepy in this movie and i think he was well acted. He is just pure EVIL! Hugh Ledger is AWESOME. he really captured the essence of the joker character and even improvised it to seem more evil than in the actual comic book. All the evil grin and tongue flicking... evil! And those stiched scars on each side of his lips... eviiill!
batman seemed to have less glamour in the movie. He is potrayed as a hero who feels so lost and dunno wad to do. Gotham seemed bleak and hopeless throughout the movie, and it still remained so even at the end. Oh wells, see for urself. Loved batman still. Proves that with the right plot, the movie can still be interesting without actually having to spam superpowers.
And then went to eat dinner with my family and grandparents. And the moon is especially bright tonight haha... tried to capture it with my hp but failed. Anyway this is the best i can get
going back tomorrow. i feel sad
