My Extra Degree

In Edinburgh other than Medicine course, I also take up another two subjects. Well, they are rather relaxing courses but one thing, students taking these two subjects will be assessed monthly based on the coursework. And the results will be sent to our place at the end of every month. It's always very exciting to get our score back to see how we have improved.

So, it's end of the month again. And the results again, found their way to my flat.

Reluctantly yet nervously, I open them up one by one. Getting back exam results is always anxious. During primary school days, kids like meals with one sausage and two eggs which aligne together make a beautiful 100 score.

So, I checked the results for the first subject. This subject is a bit different from others, instead of the usual 100, the maximum score we can achieve is 500. This time, I knew I didn't study hard, I seriously don't mind being punished to fail this subject badly. 40? 60? That's okay. Even zero also I don't mind. If I fail, I will become very motivated to study for my coming medical exams, I'm seriously lacking that. Okay. So, I opened up the letter, quickly scan through all the nonsense and, my eyes were caught at the total. Guess what? I didn't know I was so hardworking! My lecturer - Mr Visa always thought I am a genius. He gave me a flying colour score! A beautiful 3 digits score which almost hit the perfect 500. Oh well, I must have work hard this month without I myself realising.

Then, I moved on to the other results slip. This one, I seriously put in lots of efforts and I did try my very best over the month to improve the results. I opened it slowly. Praying hard that I can get as high score as possible. While holding the paper wide open, I dare not stare straight into the total. I peep... "hmm, how many digits leh? Plssss don't fail me..." at least 3 digits score please... To my extreme dissapointment, my marks is only of 2 digits.

See, I knew it! I knew! I knew it all the while! I'm never in my lecturer - Mr. Bank's favourites' list. He has been disliking me for quite a while. This is the time he shows his true colour... Haiz, what else can I say? What a letdown!

"Oh my dear JPA, shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more LOVELY and more..." (forgot dy)

Just in case you have no idea of what I'm talking about, the two subjects I'm currrenly enrolled in: one is creditcarding, the other one is scotlandbanking.

How to get rid of these thoughts?

Ever since yesterday night, some weird thoughts have been constantly echoing so repeatedly and restlessly in my mind. Deep down inside my pure and innocent mind, I was torn apart. How can I keep having this kind of thoughts? I wondered, even in my dream...? nonono!!!

I refuse to sell my soul to devil. Hence, with no choice, I decided to blog them here in hope that after this, they can return me the peace state of mind and leave me alone.

The devils:

1) Call for help if you can't handle it yourself.

2) Yeah, take the button off!!

3) Look at it, feel it, and don't forget, listen with your heart... one second just isn't enough, make it 10 seconds.

4) Stick your mouth to his, tightly... remember AIR TIGHT! Let no room for any single breath from you to escape through his mouth.

5) No more blow. Leave it till later...

6) Yes, press it as hard as you can. with the strength from your entire shoulder, yeah. That's it. Good job!

.

.

.

.

" remember to unbutton the shirt to allow proper breathing."

" Remember yeah, No more rescued breathing given, even though no breathing is detected. "

"So, it has been changed to 30 compressions on the chest and followed by 2 rescued breathing...press down with your shoulder strenght, if not they will just foul you..."

" oh yea, ambulance help also, must remember to call if you can't handle it yourself, most likely you cannot one la.." one samaritan senior kindly revised with me before she went to bed.

D-R-A-B-C...

B for breathing. No breathing? Don't blow! Haiyoh, new format la, have to remember!

C for circulation. New format again, no more 15:2. So, it's now 30:2. Press 30 times and 2 breaths...

Aiyoh, kan jiong la...CPR assessment in an hour time... *hehez*

I wonder...

...since when this has become part of my daily routine.

Oh yea! Did I mention about this interesting mv I came across today? Hehez. The lyrics got me wondering if, thats what most guys have in heads.

so baby 就是你 请不要再犹豫

我们玩个游戏叫 L-O-V-E

let's be cool~

(girl)给你一分钟 你若还不行动 你就是没种 装再酷也就都没用

(boy)宝贝你不会懂 我就是要你心急 我恋爱能力 可是达人的等级

(boy)眼神不能在乎 态度若有似无 你自然就会跟我走 (baby)请上钩

(girl)你到底行不行 尽玩无聊的招数 我看过的猪可是达人的程度

come on... hey you 就是你

请靠近我怀里 别假装不在意 你明明动了心

猪头才会一直玩游戏耍心机

恋爱达人的终点 就是追到你

没有规则 这游戏永远继续

不用躲避 因为没有输赢

So broke...

This month phone bill came as a big shock! I almost got my heart galloped out from my mouth through the wide-dropped jaw.

with the 90 pounds charges, I can actually:

- get another Jane Norman coat, or

- go Isle of Skye once more, or

- simply buy a flight ticket to London, instead of having to sit a 5 hours train down a day before the flight at HeThrow, or

- stuff myself to death with Ben&Jerry & profiteroles, or

- buy a brand new phone for a 'richer-and-earning-much-more-yet-kiam_siap_er-than-me's' sister, or

etc, etc, etc...the more I think, the more my heart aches.

can i have a plaster please?

Nightmare

Yesterday, again I fell asleep unintentionally despite the initial idea of a mere rest after dinner. I had a dream.

I was chased by one super duper big HOT-PINK sheep! That big fat creature, eewww! All the fats was wobbling everywhere when it ran to me.

Quickly, I closed my door. First, I locked it with key. That creature still trying to squeeze in. I screamed and screamed. No one came to my rescue. Seems like it's going to break my door...arghhhh!!! I quickly put on latches. Still, it tried to break my door. All the pink fat was oozing through every single possible slits at the door, even the window. Worst still, its face was sticking on the window glass staring blankly into me making weird sounds trying to get me open the door. Wuhuhuhu. T_T

"Someone come save me please", I cried and cried. The fat monster was getting stronger and I felt I was getting weaker. No one came still. I pushed hard against the door...

...till my last bit of breath.

Then before I died, I remembered, a girl turned up and claimed the sheep belongs to her. She then apologized and brought the sheep away. Then, I died.

That monster

I then woke up in cold sweat. Luckily it's just a dream. I duno what on earth make me have this kind a dream but, I definitely remember the last thing I did before I slept was, reading Xiaxue's blog.

p/s: today upon waking up, I soon realised that I'd lost my daily morning coffee boost. not quite used to it... and miss it.

I feel stupid. Really.

after

... getting back the assignment marks

... and staring at notes that I do not have any clue about.

Bye Bye to holidays

This morning after waking up 'naturally', not because of any annoying sunlight, sms beeping, stupid alarm or anything else; I feel so blessed. =)

Easter holidays is ending today. 3 weeks of good rest and good fun!

First week: in Brussels and Amsterdam;

Second week: live alone in flat, lazing around with a good company;


Third week: in Skye with college oldies.

Staring at Friendster looking through pictures and browsing through profiles, comparing how I look like now with 2 years back then in airport when I just about to start off with the journey to UK, only I realise how much I'd aged. Of course, not to mention how much rounder I'd become. People do age, physically and mentally.


Browsing through some local uni's pictures, I was suddenly brought to wonder, how different life would be if my degree were to be completed back home. Friendster is made much easier to edit nowadays, a profile can somehow tell so much about a person. If certain updates aren't made, perhaps it's not meant to be made. People put things there for a reason, I believe.

On a sadder note, term is starting again tomorrow. Time to say byebye to holidays =( Exam season again. I guess I know what I have to do. Study, revision and books are going to be my everything for the coming one month, all the way until 24th May, nothing more than that.

Wish me luck

Brussels, Amsterdam, Skye... 3 weeks of Easter holidays was too great! I'm loving it. All thanks to the great companies from college, I really miss you all after seeing you all off yesterday. Guess the next time we can meet again is going to be far from now... all d best.

5 minutes ago, I was about to check on Monday's lectures. The exam timetable on the student portal really got me jaw drop! No joke. My heart almost stop beating. 16th May. After happily enjoy 3 weeks holidays, only I realise the final exam is merely a month away. I almost fainted, seriously. Some might think 1 month sounds long enough, but not for so many modules at one go. Some modules I don't even have the notes to start with. Time to start collecting them now... oh dear!

I'm widely awake now. Gosh, I don't know how am I going to do it, sounds too impossible. Wish me luck. I seriously need it.

Brussels

Postman finally delivers the photo cd from Sam. Hehe. I'm so excited. Seems like I have no more excuses to not blog about this trip. =) So, here we go...

We started off the journey with Brussels, Belgium. Blame me for bad general knowledge, I didn't know Brussels is the headquarter for EU and NATO until I reached there only to find out there're many big and seemingly important buildings around with EU logos. Also, not till Sarah told me their significances since her current internship is with one of them. =)

Oh yea, come to talk about Sarah, she's my french flatmate in first year who used to feed me with lots of cheesy yummy pastas and french bakeries, can't believe I didn't see her for one whole year already.

Brussels feels very much like another european city and in fact, a 'white' Edinburgh, for all buildings are built mainly with white bricks as compared to brown ones in Edin and architeture wise they are similiar.

Walking on brussels' streets, we came across a big crowds in front of a cinema and red carpet stretching out. Hmmph...what could that be!

So, it was Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore running premiere for their new shows 'Musics and Lyrics'. We didn't catch a glimpse of that two for our stomachs were grumbling too severely. Hehe.

"Come Brussels eat Mussels"... "Come Brussels eat Mussels"...

Hehe. Due to our daily budget schemes, we eventually settled down with a 12 euros 3 course mussels meals. Despite the not-so-friendly attitude of the waiters, we were pretty well self-entertained, especially with Sarah's ways of eating mussels.

Hehez. Flung the fork and spoon, how do you eat a mussel using another mussel?

"Always make two mussels kiss when you want to eat them" might be a cheesy way of putting it, but yea, thats the way indeed! Sarah said its the French way of eating mussels. Aikz, these French... always so obssessed with kisses, no wonder they have french kiss too. =P

I love mussels. But, they bite!

After dinner, it was the Grand Place we went to. Just right outside the restaurant. As the name suggests, need no explanation, it is a grandly place. Lit up with thousand lights, I wasn't sure with the significance of this place so, all we did was... what else?

Take PicTures of cOz!
Before heading back to hostel, we came across these....

The famous Manneken Pis, the little boy that pee on a bomb and managed to save the whole village out from it.

A dunno what statue, but appparently everyone touches it from top to bottom. Very much like moslesting it. Sounds weird. People says it brings good luck. Hmmph...

Lazing around

Haven't been blogging for quite a while even before easter hols. Somehow, I don't feel familiar anymore to write down things I see and feel from day to day routine, think many things need to be trained as a habit and people tend to be forgetful with unattended habit.

eRrr...what am I talking? *_*

Okay okay...back to easter hols. On a cheerful note, YEAA!!! I went to Brussels and Amsterdam. I could still remember 2 months ago I was troubled with what to do on easter, either to go skye / holland or worst come to worst, just sit at home chew easter eggs while everyone is away. Hmmph..time really flies. Now, I'm back from one whole week of amsterdam trip with all the college oldies... friends are still better when it comes to old ones. Somehow, world seems to be normal again, and once again I'm myself, erm... pretty much talkative and crappy. =)

3 weeks of easter hols. Suppose to study revise and get myself prepared for the virtual clinic when term starts again. All the first year stuffs - cardio, respi, bones joints; and second year - neuro, GI, genetics, renal, endocrinology. How is it possible to finish reading them in only a week time? Oh yea, did I mention that next week we are driving to isle of skye (known as the prettiest island in scotland) with KDU peepz? Haha, another week of easter gone. I'm not going to complaint, can't wait to picnic on a cliff by the seaside and hopefully seagulls don't snatch our foods away. =P

Pics on amsterdam and brussels will be up as soon as I get the photo cd from Sam. It was all too good and enjoyable an experience. ^_^
