hello all!sigh was supposed to have clinical session at the hospital today but the tutor didn't show..so disappointing..we all turned up at the hospital but the there was some kind of mixup with the tutor..so its postponed till next tuesday..quite annoying..cos we had all travelled all the way there and I felt like I wasted my whole afternoon..the train got delayed by a half hour on the way back (train delays are pretty common here..but I think it got delayed today cos a woman threw herself off the track :( quite sad...) so it took about 1 hour 45 minutes to get back to campus..yeah so it feels like a pretty wasted day :P still kind of annoyed at the hospital for screwing up..and I guess I was look forward to today cos we were supposed to learn clinical examintaion skills.. :)

anyway I should stop complaining..the week hasn't been too bad..One of the singaporean year one med students had his 21st bday yesterday and he invited us over to a home-cooked dinner!!very yummy!!he cooked curry chicken and fish and yong tao foo soup:)yeah he cooked really well!then we had ice cream and chocolate bday cake we bought for him! but the poor guy ended up getting icecream thrown at him.. :P

At creston, we take turns each week to tell the others a little something about home during supper..so louisa and i were telling the creston girls about singlish last night..it was actually pretty funny..and speaking singlish reminded me a lot of home..Haha singlish sounds vulgar to me but the aussies say it just sounds funny..we told them what "chiobu" and "yandao" meant..and were teaching them some simple stuff..they were quite bewildered at the random adding of "la-s" and lor-s" to sentences..

anyway, I've been trying to mug most of the week away..my paper's next tuesday..its quite scary to think that EVERTHING we covered in the last 8 weeks is in one paper..and the questions they ask are mind-boggling..I had a look at last year's paper and its pretty ridiculous the stuff they expect us to know..they clearly want us to do ALOT of self-directed learning..like I said earlier they concertrate on teaching a lot of the communication skills (which is really good)..but they should also teach us a bit of the informative stuff..right now, we're just doing a lot of self studying..

alright dinnertime!ciao!:)

enping: haha yes thank you I think I did make a very convincing cigarette:)yeah I do have the video but you can't even tell that its me!haha only the top of my head's visible..I was getting ash on my hair from the smoke... :)
cheng: haha erm..thanks dear. :) i hope so too :P
