My exams are over!!
Yeah! My exams are finally over today! Really can't describe my excitement cos i can finally let my hair down and enjoy! =) Woah, i have been staying up almost every night to mug for exams during the past 2 weeks.. sometimes even went without sleep.. drank so much coffee then..(sidetrack a bit.. i bought mocha java coffee beans, chocolate flavoured powder and a french press for making coffee from Coffee Bean some time ago when i suddenly took an interest in coffee-making.. and got myself addicted to coffee.. hehe..) Now, gone are those horribly unbearable days and nights of studying and memorising! yeah!
Hmm.. after my last paper today, i went out with Simon and Wenqi.. ;) headed for the temple first (i suggested going cos i wanted to change my luck.. =p).. then went to Sim Lim Square to buy a broadband router.. finally had dinner at Olio Dome at Wheelock Place.. We were overcome by hunger by then.. it felt great to indulge in good food! ;)
Anyway, i've been getting comments from some that i've lost weight recently.. Though i dun really think so myself, it's true that i've been eating less these days esp during the exam period. My appetite has not been too good maybe due to exam stress.. haha.. kept feeling that there isn't any more good food that appeal to me in this world, so ate very little.. can survive on bread for the entire day or have three meals taken together as one.. and always asked mum not to cook my share.. hmm, probably look more haggard rather than thin now... =p Never knew that my body would succumb to exam stress.. hehe but nvm.. think i'll return to look normal soon..

Think i'm down on my luck recently.. =(
Went to the gym in the evening.. On my way home, i met a strange, crazy middle-aged man wearing a ponytail and a pair of dark sunglasses on the train. I was standing near the door with another girl opposite me. The man walked towards us from the next cabin, stopped between us and faced me. I had no idea where his eyes were fixed at cos he was wearing really-dark sunglasses. Then, he turned around to face the other girl. After a while, he left us alone and took a step forward. He began to slide from left to right and right to left on his feet. He didn't even stop when he bumped into other passengers beside him. Strange man, don't u think?
Guess i'm just plain unlucky these days.. keep bumping into strange people when i'm alone.. Just on Sat 13/11, i had another encounter on my way home from gym too at ard 8.30pm. I was walking behind a young man (probably a drug addict) along the sheltered walkway leading to my place. As i came closer to him, i realised that his movements were uncoordinated and he was moving his hands in a strange fashion. I turned behind and saw that there wasn't even a single soul behind me in the darkness. Oh no! I slowed down my steps, but he seemed to slow down too.. As i almost reached the end of the walkway, the man turned around and blocked my way.. He mumbled something which i could not make out. I just ignored him and made my way past him quickly. He called out to me as i quickened my footsteps.. I got such a fright that i headed home with tears flowing.. I cried hard like a helpless child when i reached home safely.. =(
Sighz.. really seemed to be down on my luck in this sense.. I think i must do something to change my luck... How?!

PSLE results are released today!!
I woke up suddenly this morning cos a thought crossed my subconscious mind.. The PSLE results would be released at 12 noon! I was really nervous for the P6 student whom i gave tuition to.. I did not expect too much, i just hoped that he would pass and be promoted..
In the prelims, he failed 2 subjects, Maths and Science.. his English results were borderline.. =( He was neither stupid nor slow in learning .. In fact, i thought he was a brilliant boy as he could always give the correct answer with a lil prompting.. but, he was playful and had a short concentration span.. He always rushed through his work, producing slipshod work.. During the period before the PSLE, i gave him intensive tuition.. At the end of each and every session, i reminded him not to play anymore, to focus and revise everyday at home cos it's his own future at stake and not mine.. =p I thought that my words would somehow be drilled into him if i repeated myself everytime.. Soon, he got over the PSLE..
At 1pm today, his mum called me to inform me of his results.. He scored 188 with A, B, C, C and could choose to enter the express or normal stream in sec sch.. He chose the express stream.. Phew!! Though his results were not excellent, i was relieved that he showed much improvement and was promoted.. =) His mum asked if i would like to continue to teach him in sec 1.. I agreed cos i hope to motivate him and help him better himself.. I think for now, i'll buy him a small gift as a reward for his hard work.. ;)
It's my turn to work hard now.. got over 2 heavy papers "Pharmacology" and "Pathology" during the last 2 days.. =) next paper "Principles of Medicinal Chemistry" on 27th.. Study hard!

wow!! i got my impressive blog up!
*Sighz* i'm in the midst of preparing for exams now.. just had my first paper "Logic" yesterday.. but it wasn't easy at all.. in fact, it was hard!! The only fortunate thing is that i put this module as pass/fail, so i just have to pass it.. hehe.. That should not be too great a problem, hopefully.. anw, i still have 4 more papers to go, so have to endure and study really hard now.. =[
hmm it's always normal for me to lose focus during such a critical period.. really bored of studying and memorising the huge pile of notes.. so i got down to design this blog.. =p WOW!! i think it looks quite impressive though i really know nothing about html or webpage design.. at least, i'm really pleased looking at it.. hehe.. =) What do you think?
