FridayIt was MST paper. As I handed up my paper, I kissed the 'A' grade goodbye that I was confident of scoring. Maths is the only module which I thought I could get an 'A' for. But I guess that's all gone. Chances of pulling up my GPA would be brought to nought. And to start of the day, I had no idea how come my contact lenses got mixed up. The right lens was in my left eye and the left lens in my right. I didn't realise the difference (the difference in degree in my eye is only 25) till I got to school. It was then that I realised that my left eye seemed blurry a bit while my right seemed to be rather strenuous and it was too late to change to specs because the paper was about to start. But I endured all the way home and removed it immediately before I had my lunch.
After lunch, I made sugee! The first batch of sugee (if any of you readers actually come my house during CNY to eat) was made by me! The mixing of the flour and sugar, the mixing of the ghee with the flour to form the dough. And of course, the rolling of the dough into little balls. I had problems with the rolling at first. Couldn't get them into perfect round shapes. My granny did it with ease. I couldn't. I ended up doing 3-dimensional diamond like shapes. When I was still rolling my first dough ball, she was already on her fourth. She's the skilled-ed granny who cooks wonderful dishes. But as they say, practice makes perfect. I eventually got on par with her. And we were done. In only about an hour. The rest of the time was the baking time. Which I left her to do it while I went to revise for PAT.
SaturdayIt was PAT paper. And I won't be expecting fantastic grades for this module. Everything seemed to whizz past just like that. Especially when lessons are always being handed over from PAT to PTC and back the other way round. There's just no way you can concentrate with PAT notes all over the place. I regret not spending more time on PTC. The parts were really much easier to answer. But well, there's no point crying over spilt milk. I had lunch and I rushed down to church for a wedding.
After the wedding, I went home. And I didn't enjoy myself for the rest of night. I felt that my whole evening was totally wasted. 5 hours of it just wasted due to the numerous waiting time. There's really no one I can blame but the lack of miscommuncation amongst everyone. I could have spend my whole afternoon till evening out elsewhere. I really felt damn frustrated and upset but at the time I was informed, it was too late to do anything or go anywhere. Home was the only place left to go...
SundayAfter church, I was dropped off at Bukit Batok MRT to catch a train home. When I reached Lot 1, I grabbed a quick lunch and rushed home to eat. I was supposed to meet Wee Chee at 2.30 but I pushed the time to 2.40. I left my place at 2.40 and reached the Trio bus stop ( as we named it the night before), sweating and feeling all warm and.. HE WASN'T THERE! Eventually, I saw this fella running to catch the bus. And I didn't realise it was him only till when he was quite near the bus and we both hopped on. He was dressed to the nines. Just for a simple West Winds concert. The concert was really fantabulously fantastic. No regrets on attending that.
Cabbed down to Grand Copthorne, Waterfront for dinner at Cafe Brio. And while in the cab, Greg called and asked me where I really was headed to because he didn't quite believe I was really heading down to his work place for dinner. Pretty amusing la, that blur fella. Made me laugh an exclamation he made during the second half of the concert.
I reached the hotel and found the Lims. It was quite a while where the Teos and the Lims actually sat down and had dinner. Gone were the days where we would hang out with each other over the Saturday evenings. Each teenager, the once kids that did all sorts funny stuffs, have really grown up. All 5 of us. Dinner wasn't too bad, neither was it horrid. Both me and Louisa felt so stuffed, right up to our necks. Any further pangs of laughter would result us merlion-ing all over the table.
Eventually, we left there around 10. And feeling really full from too much food, I fell asleep on the way home. The short nap made me feel even more tired. I almost wanted to sleep my night through and wake up in the wee hours to complete studying for AMB. Luckily I didn't. Otherwise, Yu Pin wouldn't have gave me valuable tips that I didn't expect would come out for exams.
MondayAll but 1 of the question we predicted came out. The only regret I had was not studying the virulence factor for
Streptopcoccus pyogenes. It was 16 marks and they were all gone. But heck. It's already over. But I'd like to say, I love Dr. Zaman. Otherwise, the paper would probably have been more hell for me.
And at last! I did my new year shopping. I'm darn contented! 2 long sleeve shirts that looks so darn cool and a nice nice nice belt. And of course there's a big price to pay (pun intended) with these items. A Zara top. I wouldn't even dare walked into that shop if I were with other people. But my mom and sister, both whom I regard as my fashion consultants, were kind of insistent on me getting that top. With that little bit of persuasion, I got it. And I'm extremely satisfied. Got another top from Freshbox and it looked good too. Both, though plain and simple, was just something I was really looking for. And last but not least, I got a belt. A casual one. Now, I have 2 formal belts and a couple of casual belts to choose from. Walking in town was also a day where I bumped into many people I haven't seen for eons. Cheryl, Kenneth, Alina. Most importantly, my long lost cuzzie Charmaine Lee. She has grown (not taller than me), matured and looks hell a lot more prettier than what my last impression of her was. But she's still the same old her. Cheeky as before. When she called up to me on the opposite side of the escaltor, I found that she looked familiar but couldn't quite place a name to the face. Then my sis went into hysterics and they both started hugging each other mad in public. Nonetheless, it was a best day to be in town. And to think, I wouldn't have time for new year shopping.. However, I'm all geared up and ready to go for Chinese New Year.
But prior to that, I've got to cross the final hurdle on Wednesday. Immunology paper. And I feel sick thinking about it..
