Semester 3 has ended and since I've managed to go through it smoothly this time, I can now summarise the events that have occurred along the way. Other than the usual nonsensical crapload of things I do, there's really nothing much I can describe. Hmmm I think I sort of break my own personal in the total number of classes that I have skipped. haha. I've probably skipped close to 40 classes this whole sem. O_O And yes, I'm not joking. Initially I even bought a voice recorder to record the lectures and it was pointless. I ended up wanting to sleep listening to the voices of the lecturers and now the recorder is lying somewhere in the room collecting dust. I sorta felt guilty for buying it because that gadget was about Rm 200. However, I may still need to use it sometime in future. Who knows?

Digressing, I am still waiting for the arrival of my Iphone. -_- What is taking these people so long to send it over. I took the 3GS 16 gb one. Actually, the main reason why I bought the phone was to play games. ._. I figured it kills two birds with one stone because I can use it to play games and make phone calls at the same. hehehehe
Now I know what I can do with it if the lectures are boring.
After a long deliberation, I am getting a PSP soon. I finally chose PSP over XBOX. Hey, it's not really my call because I'm sharing it with my brother. If you ask me, I feel embarrassed that even at this ripe age of 21, I am still depending on my parents in getting things that I want.
BUT! I've told myself that for my first pay, I will be getting my parents nice stuffs. Not that they really need anything because they aren't materialistic people but well It feels nice because it also shows I'm slowly transforming into a grown woman that can take care of herself ^__^. Sigh which I'm still not. -_-

Back to the main topic, since it's holidays for me, I bought 8 archie comics for my leisure reading and totally wasted money on a very cute panda soft toy. -_- Embracing the inner child in me indeed. -_-. Funny enough, it's the first time I spent on soft toys.

Anyway to sum all the activities up,

In Italiannies after the last exam...


Group pic of my close friends.

My coursemates! The complete pic.

Our errrr 69 pose. God knows how we came up with this but yeah, that will be our sign language whenever we wanna say 69. hahahaha Also, the one who refuse to cooperate that was standing at the farthest right. Ahem.

All the girls say cheese!


Our visit to Ampang Hospital to learn about the possible jobs we may be handling in future.

End of Sem 3. New beginning in Sem 4 soon!

YABBBBBBA DABBBBBBBBA DOOOOOO

Mind the neanderthal calling. I'm just elated. I got back my results today! This time, my results are better than I expected. I finally got above 3.0 mark for this semester! Despite it somehow increases my cgpa, I'm still stuck at 2.99 because I did not do well for semester 2. Yeah, 2.99 =_=''' Have you ever experienced something so near yet so far? That's me. 3 times in a row. -__-

Anyway, I got A- for both Hematology and Pathology. I'm actually happier with my result that I got for Hematology than getting a 3.13 gpa because Hematology was something that I wanna do in future. At least, it sort of gives me a hope that I may be able to further my studies in this field.
Just don't compare me with people that get straight A's. I am one who never excels in subjects that I hate. NEVER. Just like last semester with Biotechnology and Bioanalysis in this sem. Got C for both. Hahaha!

Ok, whatever! It's time for me to enjoy now! Planning for Melaka trip sometime soon. Might even go for cruise again! :D And I'm going to Genting for New Year's again. =______=

During my holidays, I cooked some new stuff I never tried before.

Spicy tuna potato salad. I did not have chili so I used cajun spice instead. I put in some cheese, sweetcorn and lemon juice. Next time, I'll try putting some chilli flakes. It will probably taste better

White chocolate brownies. The texture and taste are alright but I think they still somehow lack the chocolatey goodness in it. Maybe I'll use white chocolate buttons next time and make it more of a chewy brownie type. Possibly decrease like 1/2 cup of flour or so.

My baked chicken. Marinated with marinade I prepared and baked it for an hour (for both thighs) My brother said it is similar to Nando's. It's definitely different than those from Nando's. -_-

I finally made the mushroom soup pureed type. I added cream this time. Ahh who cares about being err low fat. The truth is, no cream=no nice mushroom soup. I mixed three different kinds of mushroom. As you can see, I did not puree them until they were really fine. I wanna have a little bit of err let's just say I want to chew bits of mushroom but at the same time pureed fine enough to make up the soup. Erm whatever. I don;t really know what I'm saying .



My homemade vegetable soup. Actually, with the same ingredients , all I need to do is add some tomato puree and voila, I have myself some minestrone soup. I substituted onions with spring onions because I don't want the taste to be too overpowering. Besides, the green colour will make the soup more colourful =_=

Whatever. It's time for me to go indulge myself as a professional couch potato. ta!

Finally! The much dreaded exam has finally ended. The past one month has been nothing but constant memory loading into my puny brain and true enough, at most only 1/4 has been stored somewhere by my slow moving neurons. The exams this time was very difficult. Difficult because those are the questions that do not test your intelligence but rather your memory capacity. I could not fathom how questions like "which needle size is most commonly used in animal research" is relevant to anything that stimulates the brain to function properly.

However for ALL the papers that I have sat so far, again, I felt that the short answer questions sections are always easier than multiple choice ones. It's easier for me to write down answers that are not relevant to memory but using your logical senses for answering. Even for the OSPE, (a test where participants must write down answers based on the given pictures at 5 minutes in each station), one particular question irked me to no end. It's still acceptable if we are being asked to label the parts of an egg embryo (BUT it's not related to microbiology) and state what are the routes for the culturing of virus in EACH labeled section.

Honestly, I have not even came across with any articles about this. Is this one way for them to "test" if we are of "A" student material? This is really a joke. Initially, I did some one sample OSPE questions given to medical students and I thought it will be relatively easy since medical students' are not too hard. But look at this now. I still don't see the relevance in that and training us to be good scientists.

Having examinations 6 days in a row from Monday to Saturday is not NICE AT ALL. It's not the physical torture that we have to endure but the mental torture of having not enough sleep worrying about the next day, going for examinations, worrying about how we did for SIX DAYS with no rest.

I am starting to believe that this uni is like a military school. What the heck? I paid so much money to be in a military school with staffs that are super rigid? This is getting more ridiculous in each subsequent semester.

Anyway, since it was the end of an 8 day hell, after the exam, we went to the Curve for some premature celebration. I practically went nuts in the car and shouted, "Woohoo, this is what we call civilisation man!" I even pointed at the buildings and said "See, Sam, I told you PJ is super civilised compared to Sri Petaling"
LMAO. This is what IMU can really do to your mental state. I even uttered the same thing in the elevator at Ikano. "Aha, see the elevator fast right? See through some more. Not like the one in IMU"


L.M.A.O. I think I detest the place so much that I even started to compare the conditions of the elevators. Hahahahahhahaha. People might even think that I came from the wild. I'm just really glad to be away from IMU or anywhere within its vicinity. Really.

So anwyay, we had lunch at Italiannies and they don't have any set lunch. For goodness sake, this is not fair. LOL. Tim postulated that maybe it's due to the fact that people that shop in the CURVE are rich people.

.... O_o That;s not fair to us students! Having said that, I ended up eating clam linguine in a portion for two anyway =_= I was so ignorant that I went "Eh, why mine so much ah?"

LOL. Talk about being clueless. After lunch, we went for a short walk window shopping and stopped by at Chocolate lounge for some Ice cream. Only RM 1.10 ! :O
The ice cream so so luscious and have very strong vanilla flavour that made us went "Hmmmmmmmmm yummmm" Mind you, I'm not a vanilla flavour person but I found the ice cream delicious. I guess we were lucky. Knowing how cunning these business people are, they are probably gonna sell them at much higher price after knowing that the ice creams are such a hit.

Note: They do not have this promotion in ONE U. O_o

As of today, I went shopping with my mom and bought a cute peachy pink wedges for myself. I brought her to Dave's to try the pasta. So yeah, I had pasta again today. -_-; NO MORE PASTAS FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. Speaking of which, the pork ribs from Dave's seems delicious.. I'm gonna give it a try next time :D

One event that I found funny today was how I ended up buying a lollipop when my mom was paying at the cashier. Lol. Just reminded me how I'm not that dependent and still is mom and dad's little girl. A 21 year old girl buying lollipop with mommy around. Embarassing. *blushes*


I should get going now! My games and shows are waiting for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Fed up

If you would have noticed already, yes, I have changed my music playlist *Points to the right* with some Il Divo and Mario Frangoulis. Hey, don't judge me. Just because I love such songs, it doesn't make me a boring soul. Maybe a little. After another long week of "studying" I'm just getting lazier day by day. Yeah, "studying" because I ended up hunting for cobwebs by looking up the ceiling most of the time. Input = ZERO.
If geniuses are born with a 10 gb RAM, mine is only 512 MB. Slow and lags all the time. People always say that if you allow your baby during gestation period to listen to Mozart's musical pieces, your baby will be very intelligent in the future. I hereby conclude that it's not true at all. I'm a living proof of that. Apparently, my mom listened to some Mozart and other symphonic music when she was pregnant with me and look what happened to her daughter?
Definitely not an intelligent one. Maybe a little, she got herself a smart alec daughter. Heh. Perhaps she should have listened to the full collection of Mozart symphonies. Because she listened to only some, her daughter's intelligence is not quite there.

ANYWAY, I'm not quite there all the time. Ask my friends. I'm a new definition of what most of you think "crazy" is.

Other than NOT studying, I like to log in to Facebook and play my pathetic games.
When I feel depressed, I drink a cup of coffee and eat my chocolates.
Any activities of a normal person to handle stress, I'll do it and not be a kiasu freak.

Honestly, my life is much more than just trying to beat everyone like a competition. For the love of god, exams are not for competing. I don't intend to compete and never will.


What other things I can say? Almost nothing because my brain's been squeezed dry of creative juices.

I think I shall go on.

It's been only the first week of the study break and I'm already sick and tired of reading notes; Notes that are from modules that I don't like at all which is 80% of the entire module for this sem. -_- I still fail to understand some of the modules that were included as a prerequisite to achieve professionalism in this field. But then again, people like me will most likely will not succeed in life due to my lack of interest in my course and also because I have major problem with my personality *rolls eyes* Ha. Ha. Ha.

So anyway, after going through half a week of studying, my back and neck decided to scream "ouch" and retaliated by giving me soreness since Wednesday. I did my studying as best as I could. I chose not to think so much about the GPA thing anymore because clearly, my memory capacity is not big enough to be a top student in IMU. I can only remember facts from subjects that I like; Hematology and Microbiology though still, I can't seem to remember 100% of everything. As time went on, I grew tired of this and even opted for another degree after graduating. Unless.. if luck permits me that I have an opportunity to further my studies in the area that I enjoy working on, I'm not complaining.

Now I really did not regret not taking up medicine because I can really conclude that I totally hate studying about anatomy.
Hey, even a butcher is a good anatomist. At least he still knows which organ belongs to which part of the body. I guess it's unfortunate that nature made humans such complex creatures with intricate details in every single cell of the body.

Maybe I should have gone to Monash instead of IMU. Oh well, what has been done has been done. All I need to do now is to get on with it and graduate without taking the GPA into consideration. I still have my brains to make me survive when I get to work in future.

Anyway, I've created another dish. I know I know, the time that should be used on studying has not been used to its maximum.

My lamb chops marinated with my own sauce. I remembered how funny it was when I was in the kitchen creating my own sauce. The scene reminded me of a messy chemistry lab. Considering that it is my first time making my own marinade for lamb I think I'm doing good because I had errr sorta good reviews. ^___^ If the biggest critic say it's nice I believe it's nice because I was actually sucking the bones at the end although I've finished off the meat.
Basically I made BBQ sauce lookalike marinade. So yeah, maybe I can probably sell this to anyone if I fail to be a scientist . KAKAKAKA. I marinated the meat one whole night and then cook it for about 20 mins because all of us like our meat WELL DONE. My brother said it doesn't taste gamey too.


And yes, the pictures of my food from Dave's

Stuffed mushrooms.
Mushroom pasta with cream. Overall the food isn't that bad. Well, certainly nobody can go wrong with cream right? Even an amateur could have done that. And yes, I knew they put chicken stock inside. My guess was Maggi chicken stock because
1) I got thirsty after the meal (like all usual MSG-laden food.
2) I know how it tasted like because I have one bottle of it in my house too. Hahahah!
I doubt the "sweetness" came from sugar.. Highly unlikely.

I may be wrong though. Hah. However it seems that I was commented as a "lousy eater" because I fail to distinguish between good and bad durian flavour. O_o Just because I like some food not to have overpowering pungency of durian aromas doesn't make me a lousy eater.
Haha. Too lazy to argue about it anyway.

*looks at the notes piling on the table and shrugs*

*Drags the lazy body to the notes unwillingly*
