Some days I wish, by some unforeseen reasons, some war were to oocur and I were drafted in.

There are two things that would make me happy now. The above is one. =)

Sunday morning.

Yesterday was an eventful Saturday.

Attended the show in school
I never got the name of the event. Haha

Of course I came there to see one person. but ended up enjoying the whole show.

Oh, and if any friends of mine who were there and did not see me, I wasnt watching the show from a, ummm, conventional place. I shall leave my location a mystery. Wahah.

I've never been to this kind of show so it was a good experience.


Also, I had my session with the 14comm as usual. Tried out I Camp games. Lots of changes to be made. Also had our Comm Photo shoot. The close-up group picture has me looking terrible but the one on the track was superb.

The camer was one of those Canon EOS which I probably will never learn how to use. I shall stick to my phone's 2MP camera. Hahah.

Today was my least stressful day of the week.
Everything was so light-hearted and went well.
The only downside, *cough* didnt notice me and say hi.
Haha.

Well, yet again, Ms Mary decided to have an uber fast tutorial.
2hours became half an hour. Excellent
Went to eat with Joseph after that since Fard, Julien and the rest went other places.
Well he ate.
I talked.
Even HE noticed that I was trying to hard and not being calm enough.
I'm still abit off though. Dunno what to do.

Kinda nice having a proper chat with another guy and not getting the opinion of a girl. Just havent had that in a long time. Not that I don't respect a girl's opinion. Haha.

Anyhoos, he went off, without meeting *cough*, for once. I went to meet the boys.
Lolz. I feel kinda lame for using "*cough*" to replace names. Just a formality though.

Went to masjid, where were too late for solat. So we prayed regularly and then read Quran together. I always love reading the Quran. Soothing.

Then I had NSL. Presentation + Test = nothing great.
Then NPOB, where I finally got myself a BRAND NEW OB TEE.
Its so much brighter than my old one.
Farand says its vintage. Haha.

And I saw Paul and some other girls at Aerobics I think. I hope you guys stay committed to your new CCA.

Ok, thats all for tonight... I need a good rest. More OB tmr.

Hey man, giving up before even starting?


Yeah, why not. Seems like a good plan.

-------------------------------------------------

do you get the feeling that your parents have ESP (extra sensory perception)?
I do.
Its like they knoww things and can guess things before u do them or things you dont tell them abt.

Take this,
My parents are capable of predicting my future.
My dad, thinks the same things I only think secretly
I.e.: My dad looked at my schedule
(which happens to be: 6pm,6pm,Meeting,Training,Training)
He asked me whether I imagined dying from stress and OTHER non-acad or cca things.
Freaky. parents dont read my blog. they don't know whats up, yet they know everything. excellent. =)

btw,


The new gym is great. I shall go there 3 times a week. I lifted a total of 4175kg today. Over time, I will get bigger, the exercise will help my blood pressure go down, I am more distracted and I WILL NOT GET STUPID, SKEPTICAL THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD.

Tuesday, tuesday, tuesday

Supposed to be my typical 8-6 day
However, due to various circustances, I had 3 hours of lessons cut

Anyhoos.
ELAHA lecture. Sat with Paul instead of the usual. Variety is good.
NS3. Finished my presentation, which wasnt really that good on my part cause I was unprepared.
Then Mr Ismail calls and cancels the second session, which falls inbetween a 1hr and 2hr break, thus a 4hour break
So I went to the library with Ain, Fyza, Zuli and Farhana. Again, not the usual.
Wanted to do NSL presentation. Ended up just lazing around and only did it for awhile before Ns3 lecture.

Btw, I didnt go for NS3 lecture. I'm starting to form a habit. Even Eric noticed. But I promised him I would start attending regularly from nxt week.
But today I had a good reason anyway, albeit abit blatant. Hajar had CCA at 6. I decided I'd rather spend the waiting time with her. =) muahah..

Ok thats all the info you need. I need to sleep.
Champs league game tmr!!!!

Ever wondered about some things that a certain gender do more commonly but the other does it better?

I find this occuring almost everywhere.
For example.
More girls cook. Guys are better when they do it.
Girls are smarter. Guys study better when and if they do it.


And, as much as I'd hate to say it,
Most military officers are guys. But if there are female officers, they usually do it better. =)

I actually wouldn't mind having a female CO incharge when I finally go for NS.

Many thanks for your email. The refurbished website looks terrific!

Congrats too on the NPOB Journal. I believe your members will find it a handy tool to record their thoughts and also keep track of their participation in NPOB activities.

I look forward to hearing about the activities that your committee is lining up for members.

Also, I am keen to see the completion of a 3-year or 4-year master plan that provides a listing of overseas OB opportunities for NP students.

Please do drop by to see me when your team has firmed up some ideas for your club. Welcome back to campus for the new academic year, and with best wishes,

Chia Mia Chiang

Excellent stuff.

Big announcement

If I don't appear at school this coming week, I'm probably dead.
From high BP
Which started at around 1230pm today, the 20th

Started unneccessarily.
Something someone like ME should have not been affected by.
Self-induced, but accidental.
I don't get HBP for no proper reason.
I'm a physically fit and well-reasoned boy, and should not get HBP.
I could swear I felt it it 180 or 200.
Really felt like my arteries and veins would burst.
My whole chest hurts.

SOMEBODY GIVE ME PROPANALOL NOW!!

God.
It hurt so bad, I couldnt even concentrate during Friday prayers.
Its time I punish my brain for having semi-wild imaginations
If they were true or not true, I would be fine.
But if I imagine something "BAD" that is probable, but I'm not sure, I absolutely despise it.

Oh mann. I feel gay right now, complaining.
And its doing nothing to stop the pain.
Thank GOD for CCA just now, or I wouldnt have had a distraction.
But now, back at home, the pain returns.

I shall spend the whole night doing zikir if I have to!
Besides, if I am able to do it calmly and properly, insyAllah, I may even find a solution to my problem rather tha just be able to whisk it away.

Oh well.
Time to get some food down me.
I need something calming.

p.s. If i looked like I was pissed or just not in the mood to socialize today, it was probably because of the above. Apologies to anyone affected, which is not that many people really.

Panorama of the view of my house.
3 shots from my phone. Haha
You can see the obvious lines where the 3 shots merge.
Just so you know, I appreciate this view everyday.
Sunrise.
And sunset, where possible

Attachments over.
Last day was absolutely relaxed
I did alot of work, but somehow, took very long long breaks.

Everyone had a one-to-one with Mdm Poo.
Nothing much.
Of course, she HAD to ask me what I was missing from my cathetherisation set, a question she posted to me two weeks ago.
Turns out I only missed out on micropore tape. sheesh
I Did well of course. Duh.
Expecting at least A to appear on nex sem's results
Had a debate to go to at Ward 15 after work too, but didnt go with the reasoning that I didnt need to learn how to debate. Which is true of course. =)

Now, its time for school.
So many events.
CCA Fiesta, First training and then I Camp.
I need to update myself quick cause I have no idea what I'm doin for either of the first two events.

Well, guess what.
In P07.
It is now MY turn to be the only guy in the class.
The school has got to arrange guys more effectively.

Anyhoos. Will get some Year 3 tagging along, with 2 o 3 other guys I've nvr heard of.
At least I know 12 of my class of 14.
Though I admit, and even more slack class would do me good.

But hey, better than the same old same old rite?
Variety is good.

ANDDDDDD

2.1 people get to leanr BCLS first.
hmmph. I'll be getting it in June.

I've been improving my culinary skills lately.
Trying out less-common lunch/dinner kind of foods.
Cause you can tell me to cook, say Asam Pedas.
Anytime I want.

But for instance today, I've been dabbling with potatoes.
Even the great Jamie Oliver says they're the best vegetarian food.

I made
- Fried Potatoes (7/10)
- Baked Potatoes w/ cheese (9/10)
- Creamy Potatoes (10/10)
- Garlic Masehd Potatoes (also 10/10)

of course, sensibly enough, I only used one potato per dish.
I'm alone at home so it'll be crazy to eat too many.
The Creamy Potatoes were supposed to be mashed, but I forgot to use a mixer, or something like that, and ended up smashing them into mere smaller bits, manually, with a wooden spatula. Genius.


Next. I need to improve my egg making skills.
But that won't take just one day and one egg. =)

This is the brand new design for NPOB's ST3PS model
Done by Wen Ting!
Excellent stuff.
Our theme this year is black
Don't worry, not related to all those emo or whatever the hell the group that likes black is called.
















Our website is not up though. Haha. Soon. =)
Can't wait to see what Farand and Dong Yang put in it.
Anyhoos, busy with Admin stuff and I Camp stuff.
Left with some details.
Eunice not around = Only one Program Coordinator
Haha.

Oh well.

At every attachment, I think I will be known for something unique

Ward 18 - The guy that runs to all call bells
Ward 29 - The guy who gets forced to change female patients with the EN/AN
Ward 35 - The guy who goes around unscrewing "stuck" geri-chair tables even though there are
3 other guys readily available.

Good stuff.

And I'm finally of use to the doctors.
Usually the students are ignored during doc rounds
But today I got ordered directly to do certain procedures.
Excellent.

Oh yeah, previously, when I said 3 ppl have died. Its just in my cubicle. Not the rest of the ward. =)

Today was an excellent day in the ward.
I did only a few things, so much so I could count what I did

Check this.
Parameters for THREE patients.
Took ONE manual BP
Change ONE diaper.
Served ONE patient dinner.
Transfer FOUR patients from bed to chair.

THe rest of the time? Taking care of TWO cubicles which mainly involved me trying to persuade ONE patient to stay in bed, the whole day.
WONDERFUL eh..=)

Argh. And I just got reminded by Han Bin that we have to start training for Ace Adventure Challnge in July. I only have 4 months to train to run 20K! And that doesnt include other physical activities which shall be done during the race. Die die die. My fitness has taken a beating this vacation.

START RUNNING SOON DAMMIT!
