Tuesday, on my brithday, my dear friends abandoned their usual lunch dates Just to have lunch with me!!! and LOOK at this picture.... we all look so relaxed! it's a wonder how we always get such nice pictures.... so colourful and HaPpy! i guess, its just the people lah.... haHaha

I'm making a wish....

Our Lunch Spread.

Me and my Snowflakes... (pendant and card)...no prizes for guessing who drew the card. Heh.

my laptop broke down, I made my mom pay for a new one. She said its my 3rd one, including this PDA. When she asked whether the PDA is a necessity, I felt like I had done her a great disservice. Like I squandered 900 bucks....

In an attempt to justify the money I spent on the black eyed peas concert, I must blog about them to further make a memory of it.

To start off, you see the roads to the indoor stadium slowly lighting up by the headlights of taxis. Then you see a sea of people holding cups of Tiger beer, Heineken and Jack Daniels queueing up to move into the stadium. After that you enter this cycle of drinking, queueing for toilets and peeing, while waiting for the concert to start.

There was also a beat-box competition, which this 15-year-old boy won due to his wittiness and successful incorporation of monkey noises into his routine. It was, after all, a monkey business world tour concert.

the long wait for the concert to start paid off when Fergie finally appeared, with the rest of the band, and showed us her butt shaking skills. It was,undoubtedly, better than what I can remember from Beyonce. They started with Hey Mama, and after that the crowd basically went crazy screaming and dancing. The Peas really made the concert interactive and proved their stuff. Me thinkst Fergie can sing in the stadium, without a microphone. Her voice is SO powerful!!

It was the second concert i've attended in my life and I feel one black eyed peas concert is enough for a decade of living, not a lifetime. I can do with some destiny's child...

Things on my mind:

i scored low in pharmacology test, shouldn't have read the textbook....

no money

haven't visited buddhist temple

haven't written paper on buddhism

haven't started on dosage form project report

stupid India term paper needs a topic

jeremy is leaving me again, to boston this time

Patience:
I've always received hints that i'm a rather impatient person. Like when i'm in a rush, I say "excuse me" in a very callous way, as if i've said it a few times and my plea hasn't been heard. But from my point of view, i'm in a rush! For goodness sake, I would really appreciate if I can save whatever time I have, the last thing I need would be you blocking my path on a crowded road because you are chatting on the phone. Then if I whisper "excuse me" I dun think you'll hear. So to save all my whispering effort, I just say it, in a more audible volume. Then I come across as rude..... But hey, who was the one who bothered to say excuse me instead of pushing my way through? Who was the one strolling on a busy road?

Yesterday, my mom had a function to attend, so I had to take care of dinner. So I took the chance to prepare a western meal for my siblings. I had only 45mins to drive to the shopping centre, park, buy, pay, drive back...so naturally I wanted everything to be done as fast as possible right?

As I was going at fast speed down the rows, a group of kids were playing catching at the intersection. I told them to excuse me, then their mom came over in a strict tone saying, you must be patient with them, they are children. Then I thought, i'm one too! And more importantly, i'm in a rush so I was short of telling the woman to bring her children to play catching at the PLAYGROUND!!!

Subsequently, many things happened according to murphy's law. Things like, the supermarket ran out of lettuce, the driver in the car in front of me was talking on the phone, thus his car was stridling 2 lanes, including the right most lane.. Then we were taken over by a Kancil, the smallest Proton car, which implicitly means its very slow. Then the driver suddenly opened his door, while driving, to tighten his door. At the junction, we had to wait for an old lady to drive cross before we could go (gap between her and next car not enough for 2 cars to cross simultaneously). Of course all this happened while the clovk was ticking away.

While studying for Pharmacology last week, i thought:

Exams were meant to indicate how much students have learnt. People usually translate this to the ability of the student to understand/memorise concepts. However, it is also a parameter for a teacher's ability to impart knowledge. In university, the administration thinks that exams measure a student's interest and, more relevantly, their ability to take notes in class. Of course, one can argue that what the lecturer fail to impart, the student can make up by diligent reading. but basically i think all uni students can do with one month of intensive dictation training before coming to uni. i need it.

empirical results show that my hypothesis is correct.
my hypothesis is: results are dependent on the students ability to take notes in class.
the results: CAP scores of my pharmacy class vary by cliches. assuming that a certain cliche all share the same notes they have taken down in class and notes are not transferred between cliches, then, my hypothesis is true.

I think it's safe to say that everytime i blog here, it's regarding something i'm not happy about... so this blog is a sad blog. and i'm getting jealous of jeremy's blog. he has a hundred times more readership than me..and well, i dun blog a lot, i'm too busy.

something is wrong this semester, i dun have time for anything... really... every week one test...and along with field trips and papers, and salsa.... no time no time, no MSN too.... what luck...

and now, back to my weekend dose of TV
