Well now don't you tell me to smile
You stick around, I'll make it worth your while
Got numbers beyond what you can dial
Maybe it's because I'm so versatile
Style, profile, I said
It always brings me back when I hear Wu Child
From the Hudson River out to the Nile
I run the marathon to the very last mile
Well if you battle me I will revile
People always say my style is wild
You've got gall, you've got guile
To step to me I'm a rap-o-phile
If you want to battle you're in denial
Coming from Uranus to check my style
Go ahead put my rhymes on trial
Cast you off into exile

Intergalactic planetary
Planetary intergalactic

Jazz and Awol that's our team
Step inside the party disrupt the whole scene
When it comes to beats well I'm a fiend
I like my sugar with coffee and cream
Well I gotta keep it going, keep it going full steam
Too sweet to be sour too nice to be mean
Well on the tough guy style I'm not too keen
Try to change the world, I'mma plot and scheme
Mario C likes to keep it clean
Gonna shine like a sunbeam
Keep on rapping cause that's my dream
Got an A from Moe Dee for sticking to themes
When it comes to envy y'all is green
Jealous of the rhyme and the rhyme routine
Another dimension, new galaxy
Intergalactic planetary

Intergalactic planetary
Planetary intergalactic

From the family tree of old school hip hop
Kick off your shoes and relax your socks
The rhymes will spread just like a pox
Cause the music is live like an electric shock
I am known to do the Wop
Also known for the Flintstone Flop
Tammy D getting biz on the crop
Beastie Boys know when to let the beat... mmm drop?
Well when I wrote graffiti my name was Slop
If my rap's soup my beats is stock
Step from the table when I start to chop
I'm a lumber jack DJ Adrock
If you try to knock me you'll get mocked
I'll stir fry you in my wok
Your knees'll start shaking and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck from Mr. Spock

Intergalactic planetary
Planetary intergalactic
Another dimension

Do it!



I have been deprived of old school hiphop.. nowadays its just nonsense.. Thank God for Beastie Boys..

I just lost my abililty to play the guitar. For real. I have no idea why and I intend to find out.

I tried playing a few Arctic Monkeys songs which I play, or rather, USED to play very well and now I just can't. Even when i tried playing dammit it didnt come out right. Its like I couldnt even pick the guitar or get my fingering right. How does THAT happen???? I find it quite impossible.


Anyway, I so hate the holidays. Nothing to do. Only schoolwork. Everyone else is enjoying themselves. There's nowhere to go, no idea who to go where with, have no money to spend anywhere. As in really no money. Not like you all who say you're broke. I still have no MP3 yet. I can't play the guitar anymore. =@ My soccer buds are all at school. I badly need some street soccer and pool soon!!

arrghh!! i freakin hate dog shit... i so very nearly got my new running shoes dirty.. i was running and i don't usually look down while running but luckily enough i spotted a pile of crap which i sidestepped and nearly stepped on ANOTHER pile.. this is why i hate dogs, or rather their irresponsible and uncultured owners letting them go wherever they need to GO.. damn them.. i'll never run in peace outside of stadium tracks ever again.. sheesh..

went "shopping" just now.. though i wouldnt consider it shopping since we only went to queensway and mustafa and bought some neccessary items from ikea - a new tv rack for nenek, some shelves, candles, and a mini-table for nenek also.. did grocery shopping mainly.. my hands hurt now.. i carried so many sacks of rice + all that ikea stuff..

and then went to PP and ate at Kartini.. bleagh.. i hate that stupid restaurant.. overpriced crap with teeny-weeny servings.. i only ate 3 small pieces of sotong and 1 piece of daging.. pfft.. I'd take old chang kee or even cup noodles anytime to that restaurant..

as for me, i bought 1 miserable tshirt which is fine and... i wanted to buy a Kaka Tshirt but there wasnt any for my size.. boohoo..
i finally bought new running shoes!! Its an Asics shoe! its red again just like my last shoe, only red is primary colour not secondary.. i shall try it out straight away tomorrow... so sad to have to depart with my ClubRunner.. used it for 2 years..

next thing to buy --> M16 from Carrefour.. yes childish I know but its a 1:1 model so its not that bad..

1 more day.. Just one.. And its time to get my WELL DESERVED rest.. I have never worked this hard in all my life.. From the ulcers to the babies to the elderly. I have seen enough for now. Not that I'm grossed out or anything just tired. 2 weeks of attachment is enough for now. Nursing IS NOT easy but I will manage just fine, I feel. However its kinda sad to end attachment since everyone we have met, from the Nursing Directors, to the ANs, to Physiotherapists, have been extremely nice, helpful and hospitable to us. Must thank everyone who was in-charge of us.

So thanks to: Mdm Ho Wee Ling ( AsstND, Bright Vision )
Sister Magesh, Ma Khin, Sarah and the others ( Bright Vision )
Physios, Romell - hope i spelt it right- and Stella ( United MediCare )
SSN Santhi and the nurses from the various rooms ( Toa Payoh Polyclinic )

My 1st attachment has gone quite well I must say. I have seen everything I need to see except for Woman's Screening and Pap Smear of course which I'm not allowed to view.. No matter though.. Can't wait for school to start!!! Don't know why lah but just like it so much.. And can't wait to 10th July either.. Getting my new MP3 woohoo.. Not those expensive ones like you rich kids have but a Zen Neeon 1GB.. (=
well I've got a presentation to do now on Immunization. Better impress the Sister tomorrow!

so today was at Toa Payoh Polyclinic.. which was ok but damn boring.. got to weigh a few babies, take some temperature, did some dressings and stoned.. haiz.. 4 more days..

I can't wait for the rest of the Common Test results to come out.. So far I have seen my FON and MIC results.. I got 27/40 for FON, which is stupid although it is the 10th highest score in the level.. It still sucks.. I did okay for MIC considering I've never opened a Bio Textbook in my entire life.. got 40/50..

and I can't wait for school to reopen.. I love school so much.. haha..

well gonna watch Lord Of The Rings now on Channel5..

well today was my first posting to Bright Vision Hospital in Hougang of all places... it was quite a good experience.. the staff were very friendly and we were welcomed personally by the Assistant Director of Nursing.. She was very good although abit kecoh lah but whatever.. I got posted to Compassion ward and observed the Sub-Acute Area.. it was quite cool.. the Sister and Nurse i was assigned to were very nice and helpful and so were the other nurses... got to do quite a few stuff, basics though.. feed, move here, clean there..

saw alot of Um... STUFF.. but i wont disclose anything.. so only shared with Zuli and Fizah, who ad they're own stories.. laugh alot lah.. they were in Nursing Home and Chronic Care Ward respectively... REspect then Hope.. i was in compassion as you know...

but slack alot also.. i just walked around pretending to find work.. then when i got real bored i just go sit in toilet.. since its a vegetarian only hospital the food wasnt all that great but it was alrite.. i can't live without meat though.. need to support my "frame".... had to rush to find a MaCs for a couple of MacChickens... and now I'm freaking tired lah... will need to get used to the pace of nursing soon... the nurse i got her name is something.. again, i wont disclose anything here ah.. she walk everwhere at a seemingly random pace and interval but apparently she had everything coordinated, which was cool and all.. but thank God this is only an overview of attachment... i dont think i could work in a community hospital, sad to say.. so as much as i want to go back tomorrow to have more fun i also want it to end quickly... =)

8-4.. tml 8 - 1030- play game/nursing activities.. 1030 snack break. 1045.. activities 1200.. cabut early for lunch.. 1310-1315.. come back late for next round of work.. 1455.. go for tea break and debrief.. also cabut early...........

i feel damn retarded right now.. couldnt even freaking move the dummy properly into a bloody lateral position.. something so simple and i screwd it up big time... thank GOD i did well for my handwashing and pulse..
and i also feel so guilty and all. If i'm not wrong, Rudy took my pulse at the ulna and not the radius but i wasnt so sure. and guess what. he fell off some corridor, according to Zuli - i still can't picture how that happened - and we're gonna go visit him tml at NUH after captains ball which i dont want to go to......... the 2 cca points for players is a bribe..... damn.. if it was soccer or cross country or even BBall i'd be more willing.. luckily i'm only a reserve.. lets hope it stays that way..

and tml is FON the must-pass test... i shall use my lucky charm to pass it..

Here it is," I'm gonna fail I'm gonna fail I'm gonna fail I'm gonna fail"
thats my lucky charm,.. yay.

and guess what.. i only managed to sound one idiot today in the library.. as expected he was staring like nobody's business.... i asked him whether he wanted something from me and he actually blushed, - BLUSHED for the love of God -, and turned back to his laptop..
people say male nurses are gay.. if you asked me, that boy was the gay one..

*Goes Off Chanting* GAY BOY, GAAAAY BOOOOYYYY

I'm gonna fail I'm gonna fail I'm gonna fail I'm gonna fail
I'm gonna fail I'm gonna fail I'm gonna fail I'm gonna fail
I'm gonna fail I'm gonna fail I'm gonna fail I'm gonna fail

so glad theres only 2 more days of tests left.. but 2 days is the worst.. have NSL prac.. which i could potentially screw up.. PAS test which just stinks.. and FON, the one module i always say i will fail but am not allowed to fail.. fail this and spend another year as a year 1.. aiyoyo..

but i'm only excited cause get to wear uniform tml.. and i'll know i'll generate ALOT of attention.. from bloody arsefaces who have never seen nurses b4, much less male nurses.. i wouldnt mind so much if you stared at us in uniform cause you didnt know there were nurses in NP since it is only 1.5 yrs old? but they all give that obvious "What planet did they come from?" look.. i actually congratulated joseph after he caught a girl staring at him and said, quote " Yes, I'm a Male Nurse" in the most sarcastic tone he could pull off.. damn that was cool stuff.. but i wasnt in uniform then, well tml is my turn to wear it... i'll purposely go around and find fault with anybody who gives me more than just a glance...

here's to many As...... and a successful 1st CA...

Your Kissing Purity Score: 100% Pure

You've hardly ever been kissed

But the kisses you've given are very missed

What Your Face Says




At first glance, people see you as driven and ambitious.

Overall, your true self is passionate and physical.

With friends, you seem dramatic, lively, and quick to react.

In love, you seem mysterious and interesting.

In stressful situations, you seem cheerful and optimistic.
What Do People Think Of Your Face?





Your Five Variable Love Profile

Propensity for Monogamy:

Your propensity for monogamy is high.
You find it easy to be devoted and loyal to one person.
And in return, you expect the same from who you love.
Any sign of straying, and you'll end things.

Experience Level:

Your experience level is low.
You've probably either had only one relationship..
Or all of your relationships have been very similar.
You still have a lot to learn... and a lot to try!

Dominance:

Your dominance is low.
This doesn't mean you're a doormat, just balanced.
You know a relationship is not about getting your way.
And you love to give your sweetie a lot of freedom.

Cynicism:

Your cynicism is medium.
You'd like to believe in true and everlasting love...
But you've definitely been burned enough to know better.
You're still an optimist, but you also are a realist.

Independence:

Your independence is medium.
In relationships, you need both "me time" and "we time."
You usually find it easy to be part of a couple.
But occasionally you start to feel a little smothered.

You Are 32% Evil

A bit of evil lurks in your heart, but you hide it well.
In some ways, you are the most dangerous kind of evil.
How Evil Are You?





You Are Jean Grey

Although your fate is often unknown, you always seem to survive (even after death).
Your mind is your greatest weapon, literally!

Powers: telepathy and telekinesis, the ability to project thoughts into the mind of others, communication with animals
Which of the X-Men Are You?





How You Are In Love

You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time.

You give and take equally in relationships.

You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time.

You're secretly hoping your partner will change for you.

You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.
