hello again...

well I'm glad to say boredom has increased 2fold since school started... geez.. I'm still in blank mode now... Hari Raya isnt really that enjoyable this year... not many houses to go to.. I spent the 1st day in MALAYSIA of all places.. but it was worth it nonetheless although I got only RM11 there from the various kampung ppl who're not as poor as they seem...
anyway..
went to give blood today at the convention centre... was my 1st time and wasnt really a big deal.. none of that you'll feel this and that after giving a pint of your blood.. In fact, I felt great but still dull as ever..

I cant believe I waited 4 hours to go for makeup FON lecture... stupid enthusiasm which wasnt really present in me... went there and all I did was draw guns, as usual... Oh ya, and I'm feelin kinda bad cause Ms Lock asked us to write our attendance manually, and I only managed to write down my name and Zuli's before she almost caught me... now, yeah, I feel bad cause I didnt write down the other 4 or 5 guys names... So sorry... couldnt help it.. hehe.. and Joseph, being the wonderful friend that he is, had to question why I wrote down only Zuli's name.. bloody hell..

my day got worse as we decided to take 67 home! so much for 50mins.. my bad.. jams everywhere.. I wanted to throw up when I reached Bedok..

and NOW, the dumb iron tablets I have to take to replenish the one lost in the blood, is taking MAGNIFICENT effect, and I'm gonna in the toilet soon...

Hooray.. My day just keeps getting better and better...

well, I haven't blogged since the 12th.. thats a record..

school's started... kinda slow start really.. And not to mention I'm sick and struggling to fast, and its not cause I'm hungry... Can you imagine your mouth tasting like phlegm the whole day, and when I buka all my food and drinks are bitter... bleagh... But hey, its the last few days and I dont intend on making up for any days...

lesse,, new modules, ALL SUPREMELY DRY! Except maybe SNW and MAYBE CITS, which is by Dr Red... Hell, even NSL doesnt look that promising although I'll probably do fine.. I think I'm gonna volunteer to have an NG tube inserted into me too when we learn about 'em..
I wanna feel how terrible it is, cause I had to do it for my late-grandma and even though she was unconscious, she was SUPREMELY uncomfortable.... oh welll...

Also....... Had our first NSL lesson yesterday with Michael and shared our +ve n -ve experiences... Joseph and him might get along just fine actually.. CGH dudes were all complaining about our CF, but we did give credit where due since she DID give most of us 85%.. =) Wanted to share our experience working with a certain coursemate but only Julien remembered... heeeeee...

ok gtg to school now...

caught a funny post-game interview with ronaldo on youtube that was rather old... By ronaldo I mean Cristiano you know, the one you girls only know for his looks and prentend to know about his footballing ability? But thats another story..

Anyway. He's trying hard to speak good English, but he's still unable to understand questions!
Check this

Interviewer (if there's such a word): Cristiano Ronaldo, you scored a wonderful free-kick today, but, did you intend to make the ball swerve as much as it did?

Ronaldo: Uh, yes, I practise it alot in training.. (some similiar gibberish).. I scored today and I'm happy

Interviewer: Umm, okay, so do you practise that swerve in training?

Ronaldo: ya, I do alot of free kicks in training and I scored today and I'm very happy..

-----
Hello? Ronaldo? What happened to 'did you intend to swerve?' and 'do you practise swerves?"
Hahahahaha. But kudos to him for learning English as quickly as he did, although he is abit slow compared to other foreigners like Van Nistelrooy.. He speaks english so fluently it scares me.. Maybe its a Dutch thing... wells..

Okay, I'm no fan of MCR, but I caught their latest video, from their album The Black Parade (no surprise there eh?) Its quite nice really... But I think Gerrard's hair is getting stupider.

ahhh, I just bought FIFA 07!! Its extremely great. Better than 06. I love this soccer game. Its so realistic man! The dribbling control to the shooting to the passing! its just awesome.
And I finally figured out my Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter isnt spoilt or bugged, just that I couldnt find a missing ladder. =P

Well, went to play pool with Haziq again today. Standard for fridays I guess. Played for almost 2 hours. Today I was in a whack it mood. I just sent my balls (pool balls, not the other kind), flying everywhere. Sometimes the cue ball went flying behind the daytona race machines. Sick. Well, all power and no accuracy makes Mirza a happy boy. =) =o = =@

*choke cough cough* Damn, the haze this year is the worst! my house is cloudy! cloudy! the haze is all inside my house. Now the aircon (my most hated invention) is on permanently to clean the air abit........ Man, I hope all this clears soon. Thats the downside of living in East Coast, in a house with sea view, 22 stories high and its the haze season!!

my dad is a weird and funny person.
Check this, when I make a certain comment on how good I am at something, its called boasting and showing-off, but when he makes a similar comment about himself, its called making an (or leading by) example.

And when I told my bro to shut up when he made fun of something I said and wanted my dad to explain to him the right thing, my dad thought I was offended by a small kid! No way! Thats what happens when I was thinking in an adult way. What I was thinking was, this kid needs to be shut up and taught a lesson on not being a know-it-all, but my dad simply taught I was offended. Hmmph... well. comm prob. happens all the time.

And people! Communication IS impt! remember paraphrasing? No? People either dont understand you or get a diff meaning if you dont rephrase.

So here's a comm prob of a diff sort I had just now:
Dad: SO you know how to adjust a laser pointer/aiming device on a rifle?
Me: Well, that depends. Let me see the weapon first then I'll know.
Dad: You think its that easy? If so, people wouldnt spend months taking courses and paying instructiors to learn how to calibrate a rifle to aim properly. In NS, I could just give you a gun and tell you to shoot.

Problem: I thought when my dad asked how to adjust the thing, he meant whether I knew how to twist knobs or flick levers or buttons on a device, when my dad actually meant whether I can actually make a bullet go where I want by doing ACTUAL proper adjustment. Well....

Remember this when dealing with patients.

well today had to go ALL the way to CGH to send in my photocopy of my bankbook to ward 18.
stuff's changed there. There's NYP nurses there now who look glum n dull all the way. And alot of patients moved bed. Was surprised to see EDDY in bed 7 and he's going home today. Well not to HIS home, but to Banyan home I think. He looks slimmer now. No more the 160kg man I knew. The 'bags' under his chin are not so obvious anymore and overall his whole body doesn't look as red and swollen as before. Next, another long-term patient, Isham, seems to be getting better and better. His cognitive functioning is superb. 2 weeks ago he couldnt do all the tests the doctors gave him, and today, I saw him do a WHOLE bunch of word puzzles, crosswords etc.. I'm very happy for him. And his speech is more coherent now. Wonderful.

well today instead of running, I went to syok sendiri with myself at the field for the second time in my life, kicking my ball into empty nets and running around and falling and slipping miserably by myself. No matter what though, playing soccer by yourself is TOTALLY refreshing. My accuracy has improved at least 3-fold since the last time I played on a field. I wonder if any of the residents in the area saw me? The people in that area of my neighbourhood are uber-weirdos. Staring out at the field 24/7. *shiver* Creeeeeeeeepy. Well, I had fun until some stupid small, fat, in otherwords unhealthy, boy came and asked me to play 1 on 1 with him and ME being the goalkeeper. Me, being in a show-off and mean mood at the same time, aimed for the furthest goalpost and kicked his ball into it. =)=)=) I feel so happy with myself now.

wow.. one tree hill season 4 is great man... only the first episode is out and I'm enjoying it..
The only disappointment was the predictibility of who was pregnant, but since most of you won't watch it that quick, I shall leave it up to you to guess for yourself and I won't put in any other spoilers here.......

I just finished painting my bathroom ceiling and its dark brown. My dad chose the colour. Thanks ah, now I'll have to look up at the ceiling, and observe closely whether there's any cicak or lipas hiding. Pleeeeease have some sympathy for the colourblind...
