the test yesterday was horrible. only could do 2 out of 32 mcqs. i spent 2 weeks studying for that. i'm not gonna say more. only depresses me.

somehow, i got started on neopets again. *grimace* blame it on Lianne. Melvin disapproves. *snort* like i care if he disapproves me playing neopets. (btw, he DARED me to put the previous sentence up on my blog when i told him i didnt care abt what he thought. *sticks tongue out*

was studying with Lianne and Jen. it was.. err.. fun. well, i managed to finish the stats review paper in one afternoon *pats self on the back* then today Lianne and i went to Harbourfront to study.. i spent like 2 whole hours compiling the formula sheet for tomorrow's stats test. lets hope the damn thing would be of some use. then.. i read thru my pharm notes.. dont think i've learnt anything. at least i know what a H2 receptor antagonist does.. its err... err.. for.. errr.. peptic ulcers. pervents the.. erm.. histamine from activating the acid secreting cells in the stomach. yay!! ( at least, i THINK it does) well, this morning all i knew was paracetamol and aspirin. its an improvement k.

oh right. before i forget. i HAVE to thank melvin for studying with me over the phone last night. he had to endure me reading my notes out to him. the hypertension medication chapter. he was bored to death, but he listened and it worked. i still remember the contents of the notes. mroe or less. its an achievement, so thanks a huge bunch!

and i found tim's cushion. it says "cutie pie" and its nice and furry. i'm tempted to buy it for tim. after all, i promised to buy him a cushion.. its been.. 3 years and that promise has yet to be fulfilled. it was a sale. prolly still will be next week. i AM tempted. JEN!! wanna share tim's pressie? we can buy it first then chuck it somewhere then give him for his birthday next july. its on sale!! like half price.

*groan* now i have a headache on top of the flu. Cant study, cant do anything really.. i went to school to meet ruby.. was sneezing and i proceeded to bury myself under a mountain of tissues while she tried rather unsucessfully to coach me. Then i had to leave my lab halfway coz i really couldnt take it.. then i fell asleep and woke up with a headache and not feeling any better. i tried to read my notes but the pounding in my head defeated me. maybe i'll meet Guozhong tomorrow.. he's like my new-found "person to cling onto" during class. i call him to scream for help all the time now *laugh* *groan* headache. *buries face in pillow*

i have another doctor's appt tomorrow.. not for the hammerworks in my head, but its kinda like follow up for the urography thing. another 50odd bucks to fly out the window. Please ppl. dont ask me out to spend money eh? my doctor's fees are like, skyhigh.

damn, got the flu. i'm sneezing my nose off, i look like rudolph and i feel like spiders have been spinning webs in my head. in other words, i feel like crap. not that i truely know how it feels like being crap, but i may just relate considering the state i'm in. i wish i didnt have to go to school. dont wanna leave the bed. but i have to meet ruby. prolly not a good idea coz i may just pass some cooties to her, but i'm desperate for help in stats.

Thing is, ppl say they lose their appe.. how do u spell that?. appetites? yeah, when they get flu-like syndroms, they dont feel like eating. but when I do, i get extra hungry. since this morn,i've had.. well, 1/4 of the 250g fruit and nut cadbury family bar. i finished half of that big bar last nite. chances are, i'll finish the whole thing before i leave to meet ruby. and i had chocolate milk. and somehow, i managed to find bahkwa. which i polished off too. and i'm having chips as i type here.*sniff* feel SICK.

am going to holland village to study with jenny. have to leave in.. abt half an hour i think. lets hope i get some real studying done.. *sigh*

for some reason, ive fallen in love with David Gates'- "Cant play the songs". its a nice old song that bored the hell out of me when i first listened. but after playing the song a few times, i cant stop playing that damn song. the title should be " cant stop playing the song" instead. *mutter* but its a nice song. v sappy. a lil gush worthy. and something different from the Vienna boys choir. And "the Carpenters" have wriggled their way into my playlist lately. much to the dismay of a few ppl i know *laugh*

I just did my accounts. if i spend less than 200 per month, i can survive thru december. And hopefully by then, another paycheck would come in and i'll be able to last for another few months. I was thinking of going for a perm.. like, waves. since my hair is.. well, not really straight and.. had minimal waves, i figured i may as well help my hair by giving it a proper wave perm. Then i looked at my hair and decided it looked too frail to survive the attempt. *sigh* then i thought maybe i could just go for hair treatment ( so says the girl who is trying to survive on 200 bucks a month), then i heard from Shumin that SHE went for hair treatment. and her hair reverted to its usual hay-like self in 3 days. not that i think she has hay-like hair. i'm only quoting her. if she thinks her hair is hay-like, she obviously hasnt taken a good look at mine. Speaking of which, i prolly should start using the hair mask lianne gave me for my birthday. *sulk* i'm trying to save the good stuff u know. like use when i'm desperate. and i'm feeling pretty desperate. now. *grin* but if i choose to use the hair mask now, i will be late and Jenny wont be pleased.

am not attending any classes today at any rate. too much to study for. *sheepish grin* actually, i was too lazy to get out of bed for my 8am class, then i figured i would not go for class today so i can study got the lsm2103 test which is on thursday. i dragged myself out of bed at abt 10.. msged shimin to say i was staying in. then soon after i got a msg from jenny that she wont be going for class either *bah* so we decided to go study together. Am meeting ruby tomorrow to go thru stats. i desperately need help. so we will have to squeeze in ten chapters tomorrow in.. 1.5 hours. not fifteen. one and a half hours to do ten chapters. i cannot manage stats on my own.. i just need ruby to go thru the lecture notes and explain slide by slide then i will go practice some questions either from the textbook or the review qns prof ali uploaded for us. the review qns are prolly not enough. but i'm pressed for time. which begs the question of : " if i'm so pressed for time, why am i typing so much?" *cough* i should run now. before jen calls and yells.
