its 4am and i am on a caffeine high. damn the self made lethal mocha espresso.

supposedly to work on my anatomy pracs, which has to be prepared before the labs at all costs because if not i will be like a headless chicken flapping arms knocking on walls. and i hate the feeling of looking stupid and unprepared.

my ankle's far lot better. and i am going to try sneak in to aerobics class tml. heh. i will bear all responsiblity should my ankle worsen again. i will not whine if it hurts.

my pod tchr told us she saw a bloody case of a neuropathic patient(loss of sensation in the foot) having his toes literally chewed up by his pet puppy german shepherd when he was asleep. i don't know which scares me more, a man-eating puppy or such a severe loss of sensation. he slept thru the chewing. damn. so people, like i always say, take care of your feet. another patient managed to cook his legs. what happened was his hot water bag leaked and he slept thru it and in the body his legs were cooked. he died from the vast injuries though. see, do take care.

the air here is wonderful. my place is nearer to NZ than to asia, so there. i started to appreciate the nice air here when my sis told me she cannot see the blocks opposite when she looked out of window. tht bad?hokay god bless. everyone just try to breathe everything in and purify it ok. but the weather's not tht fantastic here as well. it swings from winter to summer. on monday it was like 12 degrees then tml, my mozilla forecast tool says a 34 degrees. omg. and its going to continue for 2 days, hitting a 35 on thurs. locals here have the tendency to not wear shoes at all should it gets too hot. so the announcements today for anatomy prac was tht no matter how hot its gg be, you guys better keep your closed up shoes on. no shoes no admission.

note to myself: bring assam paste and dried longans back on trip back aus next time.

cos i am dying to eat assam stingray and tangyuan in chingteng style. and there's simply no assam paste here! only substandard belachan sambal can be found here. argh.

when i go back i want to go zoo ok.

and i am not overreacting. i am ballooning up too. the thing bout exercising is, you cannot stop. once you stop the fats pile up. my thunderthighs are getting really thunderous these days.

blah.

back to my anatomy. although its alrdy 4.30am. my exams are coming soon and i have to pull up my socks my pants my underwear if i want to maintain or improve my gpa. i have to send my results slip back to peeps at cgh which sucks. sucks. sucks. and my mum calls me every now and then and ask if i am studying, when i am happily chatting online about bapoks. then she goes on to her 'high expectations' speech and yadaa yadaa. and something i figured out. although i only have like wad, 12hrs of contact time, it just means we are taught less, we do not learn less. alot needs to be done own time own target. they don't teach cos they expect you to know. so there, i have to get this out of my system that 12hrs means slacking semester means very little things to study. apparently it doesn't equate like tht.

so you guys study hard and aim to be teachers in australia. don't need teach anything then miraculously the students know everything. and my teacher is super vague in his lectures. physiology.

'so stuff can just go in the cell membrane and then interact with other stuff so there's this cycle to induce more stuff to be produced'

'the dialysis machines helps to get stuff out from the system, without this machine patients will lead a very sad existence'

'so sometimes stuff can get stuck in the arteries'

so he just stuff all the way, then we will still be able to get good results cos he will leak some questions to us just the lecture before exams.
