Its now 0837 on a weekday, and I'm not in school! =)
Yup, decided to skip the Biochem review lectures for today and tomorrow, and just have a self declared study break. Mom just woke me up 20 mins ago before she left for work, so here I am, typing away while I sip a nice cuppa good old strong english tea to prep myself for another unrelentless day of mugging. (sigh.)
I'm here because I wanna blog about yesterday. About what happened yesterday.
Yesterday was memorable! Memorable for all the wrong reasons! Hahaha. And I don't usually blog about my days in school in detail, but yesterday was just too memorable to not blog about it.
Anyway. Yesterday was the last day of official new lessons! We had our last ever lectures, and our last ever anatomy tutorial.
I'm gonna miss anatomy tutorials, especially those with Proj Raj and his unique style of teaching, the round table QnA format and 'playing with toys' initiatives. And of course, my anat + PBL + FRS + Physio groupmates. I'm glad I got to be in such a fun group, with all the other people ostracized by the Dean's office, because we have surnames starting with "WXYZ". =p
Honestly, I'll miss having lessons with them all. All the good-natured teasing, strange bets and dares, all the outings, all the mrt rides home together, all the squeezing in cars, all the last minute discussion for physio, oh and our check points upon leaving the rooms. It was a blast working and having fun with them all, and here's to working and having fun with all you in M2 again! Haha.
So yeah, we bought a card for Raj, took photos with him and a standing skeleton, and that was it! I was leaving the anat hall for the second last time!
We were schedules to have a clinical session at TTHS that afternoon, so all of us were dressed in nice shirts and pretty dresswear. And like the previous session, the group was split into 2 separate groups.
I was in the first group, and so we went there like 40 mins earlier after hitching a ride from Matthew. Ended up eating snacks at Mr Bean, which was a must for Amanda whenever she's at TTSH; she gets sorta 'tamed' after some Mr Bean snacks (and on hindsight, this was absolutely necessary considering the events that happened later!)
Walked around, doing the same usual stuff, like feeling embarrassed about Cindy and stuff!
When to get our attendance taken, took out our lab coats and stuff, all prepared to go see some patients, when Michelle gave our Dr. a call, and realised she was ON LEAVE! Hoho.
Now at this point of time, a chill went down my spine because Cindy and Amanda went sorta berserk. Cindy's face was totally black and sounded like she was on the verge of tears, while Amanda... man, lets just say she said things that would make her qualify for the fiercest 3SGT award (and probably win it hands down)... in the office of TTHS somemore!
Gerard and I were like... "Woah! Okay, that's seriously over reacting!". It was quite funny, the 3 girls were so agitated about it. Whereas the four of us guys were like just standing there, totally unfazed by the whole situation.
Gerard, Gab, Proj Wu and I just shifted to the corner, and just stood there, watching the girls getting agitated and trying to argue and complain and settle the whole thing. Anyway, turns out there was some miscommunication between the department and our Dr, and she didn't know that she had to cancel one day of leave or something to come back and take us...
The secretary came out and started to explain and apologise to us about the whole situation, and just to be safe, Gerard and I took precautions to hold back Amanda and Cindy just in case they decided to slap the secretary or something, which I'm sure if we guys weren't around to stop them, they would have gone up and just slaughtered the poor girl.
So we left the place, the girls in extremely low and angry moods. Tried comforting Cindy that what happened had already happened, and that she should just put it behind and just cheer up, when Gab said 'Yeah, its okay Cindy, you don't need the extra time to study for your vivas anyway!'
Which I guess was just about one of the most inappropriate things to say at the moment. Haha. Needless to say, Cindy wasn't plesaed!
Oh Gab... he always ends up with his foot in his mouth, with hilarious effects and consequences.
Afterthat, Michelle and Cindy left, whereas the 4 of us and Amanda went to have coffee.
It was a perfect 'Lets go have coffee' moment; after some major let down, you just go to some coffee place, plonk yourself down and order a cup of mocha to chill.
We decided to be nice and just shower Amanda with all the care and concern we could muster, offering to treat her to another round of Mr Bean snacks, or even Starbucks cakes and coffee, and I think she was quite happy that we were nice to her for a change! So her mood improved as she waited for her mom to come pick her up.
Then after she left, the 4 of us continued to stay there, and started to discuss what had happened earlier. I think Gerard's right, its just so amusing to see how differently the girls react from us guys. We just shrug and say we'll come back some other time, whereas the girls were all so agitated that it kinda turned scary.
There must be some kind of factors that testosterone gives us, and that the girls lack that makes us so damn different. Maybe someone should ask Denise Goh to research into that, think it has lots of potential. Hehe.
After that, we stayed on, to mug a little, and discuss renal physio, genetics and lots of spots questions.
As Bingcheng put it, it really felt like a scene from "Friends". A bunch of people just head down to a coffee place to chill and talk and stuff. Ah shit, I miss the days were I could just head down with people to just chill at some cafe without worrying about not passing stuff. Argh, oh well, Medicine can be such a lonely path sometimes.
But yeah, that was the end of it, and we'll have to go back for our lesson after Pros in April. I hope that there wouldn't be another 'miscommunication' then again, cause its quite unprofessional to keep doing that lah.
And even then, I don't think even us guys could stop the girls from going on a rampage to destroy TTSH.
Despite the major let down, I was actually pretty pleased with my afternoon. I think I had fun. Fun for the wrong reasons of course, but definitely fun. I was quite amused by the whole situation and left for home feeling quite saturated with endorphines. Haha.
However, my happy day was marred by finding out about something later that night.
I don't know what to say... I honestly don't know if I'm more disgusted or angry about all the things that was raised. I think its dishonest, immoral, and just downright disgusting to do that.
It just shows how deeply insecure some people can be, how little confidence they have in themselves, and that's something I can't stand in people, which is to underestimate yourself, especially when you obviously what it takes.
I am miffed. (and probably pissed) Its just downright two facedness, and though I don't expect any of my friends to be all pure and true, but even if you want to be dishonest and unloyal and stuff, I would pray that you don't let me find out about it, or else when I do discover it myself, I'll make you pay. Big time.
Maybe its better I found out so soon. Maybe its not.
But on hindsight, if you did what you wanted to do at the right place and right time, I'll probably not interfere and just step aside. I can't and won't stop you from doing what you want to do, even if it hurts me. And maybe that's why you are going on with this in the first place, taking my generosity for granted.
Seriously. Unbelievable. Utter utter disappointment.Labels: flashback, friends, school |
