played cards at the back of the malaysian studies lecture hall with the guys today. haha. bought bread for lunch, too. sat at burger king to eat the sandwiches. thank you baker's cottage.
I discovered that I am going to be 18 in ONE WEEK. hey that's insane don't you think? wooo we are going to watch jason mraz on the 4th of march - thank you, people who did not abandon me because of the price. as for the rest of you - redeem yourselves!

Beautiful song. I just realised.
I may complain about SAM alot, but you know what? I am content.
#1 Our math exam papers have squares on them. They freak me out because I try to fit one letter/number in one box, and I go crazy trying to center align fractions.
Those there are my lab goggles. They are not very useful but they look very cool. Oh, and that's the infamous GC - graphic calculator. It's horrible. Ask me why.
Colourful book over there is Taylor's student planner. It's for us to note down deadlines and exam dates because there are just so many of them to remember! I don't really use it though.

#2 My lunch the other day. Two blobs of rice because I substituted chips. I didn't finish it. I need a guy to come to Taylor's Subang so I can give them excess food.
EVERY SINGLE DAY we stand at the guard house and debate over where to go for lunch. So in Malaysian Studies that day we made an evelope full of choices so we could draw lots. Now we pick out lunch venues, then argue over the choices the evelope gives us.

Hello world! I am here to tell you that I am cheerful again, thanks to an unexpected visit from a cousin and an unexpected phone call from a friend.
AND I watched an episode of Chuck - the best show on television - yesterday.
Now if someone would please wave a magic wand and get rid of the mountain of homework!
Worth celebrating: KEVIN is going to give me his signature! What can I say? I am a huge fan of people who make me laugh. =)

This is me, badgering Jun-Wen. I think if you count the ratio of my lines to his, it would be about 10:1. I should not be blamed though. I have not seen him in ages and I miss him. =(

First Aid Crash Course
injured. boo =(
discarded bandages after miraculous recovery.
theory exam I studied till 2 in the morning for.We were supposed to take photos of arm slings and elevated slings and cpr dummies! But alas we kept being distracted by DR. ABC.
We did bandaging with triangular bandages! I don't like reef knots. They kept not opening. Bandage victim count thus far: 5. None lost blood circulation and required amputation. They were comfortable, could move their fingers and did not experience numbness. I rock. =)
Our dummy was called Little Anne. Whenever we checked for response, we'd bang its shoulders and yell 'SIR! SIR! Are you okay? Can you respond to me?' Little Anne was anatomically... wrong. (See above. Chest area. Right.) Makes me wonder why not name it Arthur and save everyone the trouble.Then we'd pinch it and rub the sternum. (Try rubbing your sternum - hard bone in the middle of your chest - with your knuckles. It hurts, surprisingly.) CPR involves pinching noses, lifting chins, and pumping hearts. Violent process. The test dummy tasted of rubber. =(
recovery position. to be used on drunk people.We were tested on CPR and two types of bandaging. We were not tested on lifting, choking, recovery positions, and what to do in a fire. Also, the many other types of bandages. Syn Dee wants to know how we are supposed to move casualty away from danger. Jason asks how we are going to save people with such limited knowledge. I have no idea.
Ah well. I am now a certified First Aider. I am qualified to save people.
(HAHA)
I passed! =D

Hello! Are you interested in buying cookies? Flowers? Flowers? We'll deliver to class and everything! No? Are you sure? Or do you want your boyfriend to buy? Tell your boyfriend to buy! *excited by new marketing strategy* TELL YOUR BOYFRIEND TO BUY! *brandishes list of names and classes*
*Ju Vern and friends shake heads and back away slowly*
Haha. Friday in college will be interesting! Love is in the air, I swear. It's a great vibe.
My weekend, Valentine's and all, is booked by 9 to 5 first aid classes. Le sigh. The silly things I do.
EDIT:
I was wrong. Taylor's on Friday was not at all interesting in terms of hearts and flowers, with the possible exception of a guy who apparently was holding up a hand-made sign which said 'Available on Valentine's Day? =)'.
It's a world of disguises, isn't it? Full of masks and words we think other people want to hear.

Romeo & Juliet
star-cross'd lovers
Romeo
Juliet
Prince
Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight,
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!
O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo? ...
O, be some other name! What's in a name?
That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet.
Good night, good night. Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill.
Thou canst not speak of that thou dost not feel!
O, here will I set up my everlasting rest,
And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
From this world-wearied flesh.
Romeo, I come! This do I drink to thee.
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
