Too lazy to recount what happened yesterday so I got natjie to do it. I was on a roll, baby! I made so much crack-ass comments, bad puns and impromptu ad-libbing I can't recount now. Might hafta do with the not sleeping the night before... *shrugs*
First part of her post is about me~
Also, shaf called me geek today. Never been called geek before. Been called weird plenty of times but not a geek. She'd gotten a bunch of old DOS games and when I told her I found this old DOS game last month called Treasure Mathstorm, she was like "What!?!? MATH???" and said I'm such a geek. Lol...
What can I say, I am a closet geek.

I just realized this last night but I haven't slept in my own bed for 4 days. Yesterday was the 1st time I slept in my own bed since my first exam paper last Tuesday. D:
Was off to grandma's house from tues night to thurs afternoon so that's tues and wed nights accounted for. Spent thurs and fri night watching My Name Is Earl while studying in the living room so that's all 4 nights.
I did sleep on fri afternoon on the couch and thought that sat was fri. Decide it's time to pass out and not study on sat night--which was yesterday night--after tripping over my words for the 7852418632nd time. Huh. That would explain this longing and nostalgic feeling as I made my way up my loft bed. Gee... =__=

I dunno... I guess I'm a sucker for punishment. And for lighting my ass on fire. But thinking back, every time there's a test or exam, I end up watching shows. Continuously. Until all the eps that is currently available (to me) is watched. I'd cleared at least 1/4 of my stash just because of all the exams I'd had.
And this time, it's worse. I manage to finish 4 seasons of Stargate Atlantis in less than a week and 2.5 seasons of My Name Is Earl in 2 days (3rd season's only half-aired). I dunno if it's coz there's a bit more time than I had in the past to study (4 modules this semester as opposed to the average of 7 the previous few semesters) or I just like the feeling of my ass on fire before I do anything productive, I ended up with 2 completed series on my hands in less than 2 weeks. Last time, I'd only got through one series coz well, I had 7 modules to study for.
...Gods... I am so dead. Starting to think that being trailer trash ain't that bad after all. At least there won't be a cpf to start with, as opposed to paying back both my cpf education loans to my mom's cpf account and having no money in my cpf account by the time I clear the loans and is eligible to buy a house and paying for the house *and* having no money in my cpf account again after paying for the house, which will be around the time my kids hits college age and they need my cpf for their education loans.
I put too much thought into the cpf thing, I know, but that doesn't stop it from sucking. Why isn't anyone doing anything about it? *sigh*

Rough Paper
First day of exams. First paper of the last semester. The beginning of the end.
And I screwed up by not studying everything like I should and listened to some half-ass tip. Cost me 13 marks coz I had to leave it blank. I mean, ok, so this paper is based on how well you bullshit but I need facts to work on my bullshit. And I didn't study that entire topic so what d'ya know? No facts = No bullshit. Well, no *good* bullshit anyway. :P
And the rest, well, let's just say I got enough bullshit to cover the 3/4 of the island--I mean paper. Hope that counts for something.

Minor Spoilers: Street Kings
So the 1st paper was a morning paper and we ended around 11am. Me and lz went to have lunch at the temporary Chinatown market near Outram Park MRT (yummy almond paste that is not too sickeningly artificial and sweet) and caught a movie at The Cathay at Handy Road.
Couldn't quite decide which show to watch based on 8days, so we went down to The Cathay and see what they have. Robert Downey Jr. as Ironman? Sadly, not out yet (but the trailer looks good~~ *drool*). 2 sisters vying for the queen spot beside King Eric Bana? No thank you from both of us. A father telling his daughter about the 3 women in his life and making her guess which is her mother? Boring~, says lz. Louis Koo as the next kingpin? I say "Gods no". Story about cops *and* Hugh Laurie? Oh yay! Lz likes cop movies too. So we bought tix for Street Kings.
And now, without giving too much away...
It could be because I finished 4 seasons of Stargate Atlantis in less than a week but the whole time, all I could think of was how the right-side profile of Keanu Reeves looks like Joe Flanigan. With not so great hair and even worse shirts. ((Joe Flanigan's got great hair and great uniform/shirts in SGA =3))
Sucre! I mean, Amaury Nolasco is in there too. Nice to see him again. Which reminds me, I should really catch up on Prison Break. Kinda didn't wanna continue around season 2 midway.
The first scene Hugh Laurie appears in is in the ER, pulling open the curtain and announcing his unwanted presence loudly. And by saying he's an insurance salesman but we all know he is not. Again, all I can think of was "House, meet cop!House". Just less snarky. Oh and more vulgarities too. Lotsa f*** being tossed around. And Whitaker calls him "Jimmy" in one scene. Lol!!! The camera angle is not too flattering for him in this movie though.
The last bit of Forest Whitaker with the crown speech is Last King of Scotland all over again. Even though I've never actually watched LKoS but yea... the vibe is there. Lol...
(Edit: Forgot to mention Chris Evans earlier. He's a McGee--a leaner, better looking McGee. Probie-rank, new to the job, eager to proof himself and that haircut totally fits... :P)
It's a rather drawn-out affair, Street Kings. Me and lz were both like... "gods, when will this get to the exciting part? Or even better, end???" Story's good but pacing's off. All in all, tolerable.

Idiot Kids
And so, after the conclusion of the movie, we were dog tired and went home separately (duh). So I waited for the bus and fell asleep on the bus all the way home. Was raining and got off the bus to a crowded bus stop. As my stop is at TPJC, there are naturally a buncha JC kids around. So I made my way across, moving out of the way as much as I can when I saw this girl in particular, talking animately with her friend and not looking in my general direction (basically she had her head turned away from me). I made an extra large effort to siam her coz I have a feeling something's gonna happen that involves her. So, effort--any larger and I would be out on the road being drenched. I left like an arm's length of space between the two of us and stupidly thinking that I'm safe, I crossed. And she took this exact moment to point at something across the road to her friend. And we ended up with her finger on my right cheekbone--exactly an arm's length away.
LIKE WTF!?!?!?! I KNEW SOMETHING IS GONNA HAPPEN AND I MADE AN EFFORT TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AND STILL, SUCH SHIT HAPPENED. WTF DO THEY TEACH JC KIDS NOWADAYS ANYWAY??? HOW TO POKE PEOPLE IN THE FACE WHILE TALKING IN A CROWDED BUS STOP????? GODS!!!!! OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES!! IF NOT FOR THE WHOLE SITUATION BEING SO FUCKING HILARIOUS, I WOULD FUCKING KILL YOU. I KNOW WHERE YOU STUDY. ¬___¬
Ahem. So, I'm pretty sure everyone's dead on the floor laughing right now. I just hope my cheekbone don't bruise. That's gotta suck. Finger-shaped bruise on cheek. Hmm...

So I had my quiz today and from what I'd heard last semester, this course's quiz is a tough one. Only one person passed last sem. So was feeling a lil worried. Even the lecturer said so himself--that if he have half the class passing his quiz, he'd be really happy. And since I'll most likely fail no matter how hard I study, I took things easy. Just read through everything, took note of the formulas and all that.
And what do you know? The quiz was a killer. It killed me with laughter.
The first question is the title of my post--Write down the name of this course. He'd even provided 3 blanks and told us that there's 3 blanks so there's 3 words in the course name. O_O
The second question is to write the formula for the renal impulse output response and sketch it. Like... I didn't integrate everything but I'm pretty sure I got the basic formula correct. And the graph should be the one I drew.
And he said no one got his quiz right. ¬__¬
But the thing is, he'd only concentrated his quiz on the renal part and not the respiratory portion... Does that mean that respiratory portion is not important? But he'll have 2 questions for exam while the other lecturer have 2. Which still means that he'll likely have 1 on respiration and 1 on renal.
Oh woe... Gotta concentrate my energy on writing lab report which is due on monday... *sigh* Weekend, burn. Again.
P.S. Turns out, he's right. I got everything except qn 1 wrong. I wrote a wrong term in the formula. A fucking one alphabet difference caused me the whole chunk of marks. And the graph is wrong too coz I drew the impulse retention response instead of the impulse output response as the qn asked.
SADDDDD....
Note to self, do not listen to other ppl when they say I got it right. Coz I always end up getting it wrong when they say i got it right.
Just like MCQ. Only with the MCQ, I cannot listen to other ppl when they say I got it wrong, coz I'll end up getting it right.
P.S.S. Maybe that's why he gave such an odd face when I nodded when he asked the class if it was an easy quiz. Lol...
