Haha! So excited about this that I had to post this up immediately. Haha. Haven't been updating lately cause of the busy schedule. =l. Rawr.
Anyway, cindy showed this to me.



Haha! I don't believe they used our photo to paste it on the wcpt site! =). A day to remember alright. =).

I say that we all look good here (including boris!) =).

Wow. Realised that i haven't updated for 7 weeks. That's the entire hols la. Haha. Been hanging around, catching up with people, meeting new people, experiencing new experiences. =).

Came back from aussie a while ago, fell sick after eating too many pizzas, enjoyed moscato very much.

Wanted to blog about my whole aussie trip and other random gabbles but just let out a huge yawn and decided it's bed time. =). Just a really short update to make sure this thing doesn't die. =).
On a side note, I know how it feels to be the deer in the headlights so gomenasai.
Good night all. =). Happy last week of hols. It just flew by too fast, just too fast. =l.
Will update again when i'm more awake. =).

Oh man. One last paper and suddenly ground-breaking news comes my way. And it's HER paper.
Her last day's on friday, the day after our exams, the day after our last paper.
Rawr.
I'll really miss her. I really like her teaching, her unintentional entertainment, the little digs that she makes in class.
Just the f-ness. (it's 5 letters!)
And we won't be able to do the "excuse you" thing that we planned to do after graduation.
Uma, mh, m and now f.
I miss all of them. Ok at least 3 of them. Wonderful, amazing teachers. =l.

All we can do now is do the best for her paper so that she won't be disappointed.
I feel like it's like touch all over again, playing our best for the last match that we'll ever play together.
Bad analogy but same feelings. =l.

tian xia wu bu san zhi yan xi
basically "there is no show(movie) in e world tt does not end"
meaning, everyone leaves in e end

Rawr. At least I'm certain that someone will always be beside me. =).

Had practice yesterday and was reminded of one very small, but powerful reminder that we have such a fantastic friend who's always there for us here with us during our most trying seasons (in this case, EXAMS!). New found peace for exams (hopefully the pimples will go away! haha!). So hang in there everyone, stay strong and courageous, and the light is at the end in a mere 5 days! =). GAMBATTE! =).

What a friend we have in Jesus
Text: Joseph M. Scriven, 1820-1886
Music: Charles C. Converse, 1832-1918
 
What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer. 

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
thou wilt find a solace there.

Here's the joke of the week. Credits to marui for coming up with it.
"Why do the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments have their names as such?"

Answer will be revealed at the end of the post. Go ahead and scroll right to the bottom if you don't wanna read the whole boring post. =).

Totally crashed into my bed at 2315 after talking to my dear aunty neo. Yes i know you love me many many. =))). Haha. Mum woke me at 0745 just in the middle of my dream.

M: It's 0745 now, let's go eat breakfast.
R: *groggy voice* Eh mum I just had the weirdest dream about you losing your phone in amk hub while I was trying on clothes, and so many other phones belonging to others were in my basket, but I couldn't find my phone amongst the basket of phones!
M: Are you talking to me or are you sleeptalking again?
R: I'm talking to you mum, I'm telling you about my dream!
M: Okok, we go out in 15-30 min ok?
R: Ok. *goes back to sleep again.

R: *looks at the clock - it's 0830 already* i think mum has gone out to eat breakfast without me already. calls mum's phone, mum's phone rings in the house. *sighs* she didn't bring her phone again. walks downstairs, mum comes into house.
R: eh mum you went out to eat already is it?
M: No let's go eat now.
R: Oh, did you wake me up just now?
M: Yeah i woke you up 15 min ago. Oh it's 0830 already.
R: Yeah you came in at 0745 telling me to get ready in 15min.
M: Oh i thought you were sleeptalking again.

Oh well. Apparently mum is well on her guard after all the times I replied her in my sleep without knowing what I was talking about. Haha. Had a good breakfast with mum though. =).

Woke up at 0730 yesterday to make star-shaped onigiri for a special someone's birthday. =). Apparently the target knew that yy and I were conspiring together. Started cooking the rice at 0800, started moulding by 0830. At 0900 I only had moulded 4 onigiris. Started panicking cause I still have 20 more to mould and at this rate I'll be late for school at 1100. Thought to myself that if i can't finish in time then I'll just make round ones instead of star ones. Thank God that at 1000 i just had 4 more to mould so I just moulded them all and rushed to bathe and hop to school. Gave them to michelle, bernadine and vanessa. Congrats to vanessa for getting engaged! =). Haha. I became kmli's giffy's godma. =). Marui brought plopper to school too. Oh monday's a bring-an-animal-stuff-toy day. =). Class pic. =).



Class minus lori plus giffy, plopper and onigiri! =).

Happy birthday my dearest aunty neo and ah hua. =). Though a bit early but wanna celebrate before exams start la. Haha. Jiayou jiayou! =).

Hopped by to ntu to bring browns up after school and made our way to bukit batok to visit yinx. Rawr. Should had recognized that a "popping" sound may indicate mensical tear. If so maybe yinx could had salvaged her meniscus still. =lll. Get well soon yinx! =). Germs told yinx something super funny. "Eh now captain and vice captain kena, next one to kena will be me and yihui right?!" Didn't occur to me that our captain and vice kena. But yinx is recovering really well. Crutch for 10 days, brace for 6 weeks. And her crutch was 2 holes too high. =l. Thank you physio for teaching us how to use crutches. Didn't do anterior drawer test on her. Haha.
DO YOUR EXERCISES YINX N BROWNS! =).
Watched just follow law and headed off with browns and her friend serene to gardens. Big fat peanut butter jam on pie. =lll. Wanted to use tomtom to find out another route which prob will be a big fat loop around the island until the jam started moving. Reached gardens at 1940. Was quite proud of myself for being able to say hi to friend and max, eat dinner, and make my way to church in 20min. =). Personal best for the laggish me. Haha.

Oh well, someone just reminded me the importance of me time and yeah, need some recharge before I mug my brains out again. So please egg me on to mug thanks very much. =).

Jiayou everyone! =))).

Answer to marui's pun:
"Cos when they get busted, it's excruciating. *grin*"
Ex-cruciate-ing people. Sighs. Haha. But good job thinking of that one marui. =).

Watched NDP and took the pledge and sang the national anthem. =). Yes I still remember the words la. Haha. Fireworks seemed a bit short this year, but guess they were spread out throughout the show. Watched idol after that and saw Krauser audition. Haha. I totally lol when I saw him ok. Haha. Then he sang raspberry kiss some other song which wasn't bad actually. He made some poor kid cry cause of his appearance la.

Dunno why but i'm super jumpy today. Like i can't keep still and I'm bored cause fb's acting up. It's a sign that I should be doing more productive things like mugging. 2 more weeks. =). Still debating about travel plans but oh well. =). Worst case scenario we have some sleepover again la. =). Haha.

Aunty neo reminded me of this page.
http://www.personalitypage.com/ISFJ.html

She's the protector! =). Haha.
*sad to say i'm disappointed. rawr.
Happy hols people! =). Jiayou jiayou for the last stretch for this sem! =).
It's been a long one. And it's gonna get longer, but we'll be stronger. =).
Hang in there! =))).

Was browsing around marui's blog and saw this personaldna thing. *No i'm not stalking marui! Haha. Decided to do it out of boredom and out of procrastination to get to my books. =). More of the latter really. Haha.

You are a Leader

· Your solid grounding in the practicalities of life, along with your self-assuredness and your willingness to appreciate new things make you a LEADER.

· You're in touch with what is going on around you and adept at remaining down-to-earth and logical.

· Although you're detail-oriented, this doesn't mean that you lose the big picture.

· You tend to find beauty in form and efficiency, as opposed to finding it in broad-based, abstract concepts.

· Never one to pass on an adventure, you're consistently seeking and finding new things, even in your immediate surroundings.

· Because of this eagerness to pursue new experiences, you've learned a lot; your attention to detail means that you gain a great deal from your adventures.

· The intellectual curiosity that drives you leads you to seek out causes of and reasons behind things.

· Your confidence gives you the potential to take your general awareness and channel it into leadership.

· You're not set on one way of doing things, and you often have the skills and persistence to find innovative ways of facing challenges.

· You are well-attuned to your talents, and can deal with most problems that you face.

· You're not afraid to let your emotions guide you, and you're generally considerate of others' feelings as well.

If you want to be different:

· There's more to life than the practical - take some time to daydream and explore the aesthetic sides of things.

You are Benevolent

· You are a great person to interact with—understanding, giving, and trusting—in a word, BENEVOLENT

· You don't mind being in social situations, as you feel comfortable enough with people to be yourself.

· Your caring nature goes beyond a basic concern: you take the time to understand the nuances of people's situations before passing any sort of judgment.

· You're a good listener, and even better at offering advice.

· You're concerned with others at both an individual and societal level—you sympathize with the plights of troubled groups, and you can care about people you've never met.

· Considering many different perspectives is something at which you excel, and you appreciate that quality in others.

· Other people's feelings are important to you, and you're good at mediating disputes.

· Because of your understanding and patience, you tend to bring out the best in people.

If you want to be different:

· You spend a lot of time taking care of others, but don't forget to take care of yourself!

· Sometimes you can get overcommitted, and when you sacrifice spending time with those close to you, it can make them feel unimportant.

 
Hmmm. Don't really agree with some of the stuff here. Like the leader part? Haha.

Headed to town after school today. Had lunch at cine basement and went to watch GI Joe. They were showing Super Junior while we were eating, so cindy was like checking out their choreograhy. =). Friend was like commenting how half of them are singers and half of them are dancers, so they cover for each other. Haha. And what a good marketing strategy it is to have such a large group. Yeah so GI Joe. The effects are really cool man. =). Though felt a bit draggy at some parts, but it's really cool. =). All the gadgets and moves and all. =). Sienna Miller. Haha. The other 2 were like gawking at her please. Headed to Taka and was so taken in with the stuff at the toy shop. =). Too bad they didn't have like a mini drumset there or something. I still can't figure out those IQ rings. Rawr. Guess my IQ isn't that high after all. =l. Yes marui I prefer your company over food. =). Haha. Headed back to eat dinner before heading to church. Parking was an exorbitant affair. $13 for almost 6 hours. Plus $2.50 for ERP in total. $15.50 for the car, $6 for the movie. Never park in town again, unless it's late at night or it's absolutely crucial. Rawr. =l. Parking cost makes Ruth a grumpy kid. Rawr.

Anyway, it started to rain when we were walking to Cine (I parked behind Heeren). I brought sunshine to school today but left her in the car. So when it started to rain, marui commented "See what happens when you don't bring sunshine out?!" Haha. But sunshine wants to stay dry mah. Haha. Oh well. Bedtime. =).

I was just driving back when I noticed how pretty the moon is tonight. It's round, and has this really nice glow around it, almost like a halo. =). I remember the times when I used to draw my curtains back so that the moonlight will fall on me when I fall asleep. It's quite comforting actually, to bathe in the soft glow of the moonlight. Sounds so emo please. Haha. Yeah I was an emo kid then. Maybe I still am. =).

Anyway, was fretting around pretty badly this morning cause I was frantically writing out my script for comms (when I realised halfway that I could had just typed it out and printed it). I reached school at 9 to continue mugging for cp when my test was at 1110hrs. Hardworking huh. Haha. Guess I'll only be like that at the really last minute. *You really MUST break this habit now!!!! Got some tips here and there from the many nice people around (many thanks people!) and headed in to face my doom. Got treated right pneumothorax. Treated for sputum, pain and ventilation. Forgot about treating for DVT cause she was a post-op patient. Rawr. Kinda shot myself in the foot also at times, but thank God she was nice and prompted me a bit here and there. =). Hopefully all goes well. =). Had fish soup for lunch and headed up for comms ppt. Our group can't do this week cause she wants all of us to be there otherwise she can't give the individual marks. And she refused to put both groups on one day, causing some of us to stay back just for that one group, then we'll have to stay back again for my group's ppt. Rawr. Oh well. Friend's group video was really funny la. Roxy's super funny please! =). Our class has so many talented people. =))). Haha. Pretty tempted to leak their video onto youtube or fb or something. =). Haha. Well done y'all. =).

Headed to the lab to mug for neuro. Seriously by that time my head was 3/4 dead and pretty much in the shut-down process le. Managed to run through gait and sts with cindy, atiqah, friend and hua. Then went over to the other side of the room to observe yy's handling and dozed off in the process. Now I have to make a confession. I woke up just when they were talking about me sleeping. Haha. Thank you very much for your very nice compliments. =). Maybe I'll keep long hair for aneesa's sake then. =). Haha. But headed right back to sleep again until marui pounced on me to wake me to mug. Burt hopped by and recapped sts with me and sitting balance. Thanks many man! =). Went to be friend's patient to get a feel of what the prac was going to be like. =). Yes, there's always an ulterior motive behind my actions. =). No la. In the end my patient was pretty similar to friend's patient - hyperextension in stance phase. So I did isometric and inner range quads as well, and added weights as a progression. =). Thanks a lot friend. =). Was practically bouncing out of the room cause IT'S OVER. =).

Headed to amk to catch UP with marui and friend. =). Just what I needed after my brain has fried into shaker fries. =). Thanks for treating me. =). Just means no more ice cream for me le. Oh well. UP is really nice please go watch. I'm watching it again on sat! =). Which is the reason why I asked them to treat me this time, haha. =). But still, thanks many for the teaching, the egging on, the movie, and yeah the company. =).

Mentally my brain is tired, but there's such a huge load of my chest that I just want to bounce around. =).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHA. =). I'll hop by to see you soon. =).

Get well soon aunty neo! =). YOU CAN WILL DO IT FOR NEURO! =))).
smlie kmli. =). it's a bump in the road but then again the road never is straight and wide. gambatte kmli! =))).

MARUI SNIPPED OFF MY EXTENSIONS. =l.
Simply cause I was whining about it hanging by a thread and that I refuse to snip off my black hair that's supporting the red extensions.

I was lying on the plinth, waiting for cindy to put me in postural drainage position (cp's next week!), then cindy saw the magical tape cutting scissors that won't cut into the skin (it's horribly right-handed btw =l). Then somehow, it turned out to be like an operation style with me lying on the plinth and 3 people at my head deciding what to do about my hair. In the end marui just snipped them off, after which else angel told her that could had used nail polish remover to remove them. =l. Rawr. But oh well, damage has been done already.

Still thanks for snipping it off for me. =). Was being very ditzy cause well, sentimental reasons. =). Goodbye my friends of 4 months. You've lasted really well, making my $3 very worthwhilte. =). Now I think my hair's really very black, with that lack of splash of colour to brighten me up. So maybe I'll look less chirpy now. Haha. =).

Time to read through trials. =).
