| pdcp week |
So far, its been a rather exhaustive week. With PDCP lessons in the Business Faculty, 2 movies, 2 outings and a whole lot of worrying about the upcoming trip.
Its no wonder I feel like sleeping at 9 pm today.
PDCP in Biz is quite a... I dunno, waste of time? But at the same time, the stuff they are teaching us can be very interesting if its well, taught in a more interesting way.
But oh well, the way they are teaching it is so methodical, its just a pain to sit through the lectures and tutorials.
And having to wake up early everyday again. ARGH. Damn it. I just got my sleeping pattern fixed at my holiday levels and they had to disrupt it again. Which absolutely sucks.
Then again, some of the stuff they are talking about in PDCP is quite interesting. Especially the personality tests and types because, well, I am a sucker for personality tests. And the Goffman theory is actually quite interesting. But still, I rather they not try to force feed us to accept such things and instead let me continue my bumming days. Yeah.
Then again, going back to school means actually doing something other than... well, not doing anything. And of course being able to meet friends in med school again, and seeing and hearing them do hilarious stuff.
On Monday, had lunch with the OG at Gim Mo, went out with them after PDCP for dinner and went to watch '200 Pound Beauty' @ Cineleisure.
Its quite a funny movie, not as bad as I expected it to be. Its all about you know, finding yourself, your inner beauty and stuff, and having confidence in yourself despite what you may look like. Which actually co-relates to what we were actually studying in PDCP that day! WOW.
The songs was quite nice, the story a tad bit erm, unbelievable. And it managed to juggle between being funny and being emotional quite well.
It was also hilarious that the OG girls who were sitting in front of me, were making SO much funny noises throughout the show. Some of them even cried! I don't understand how they can cry in a movie like "200 Pound Beauty"... I mean, yes its well, sweet and all, but not that touching, you know what I mean?
Plus its supposed to be funny. Very very funny. Maybe the tears were out of laughter. I dunno.
On tuesday, had an almost full day outing with my Anat group.
Lunch at Siam Kitchen in Suntec was very amusing, thanks to another wonderful Cindy-moment where she exclaimed that her serving was the smallest to the rather distraught waiter. Plus everyone just kept discussing about the johari window we did in lessons and we had a fun time labeling each other as 'facades' and 'blindspots' and 'unknowns'.
Throughout the course of the day we did lots of crazy stuff, like stalking Peishan with a camera, listening to each other say the weirdest things, witnessing the girls backstabbing each other, witness Huipei sitting on a kiddie ride and oh yeah, we also watched a movie.
We watched the movie '28 Weeks Later'. Oh boy. I think this was a movie that we shouldn't have watched, but I guess we didn't have a choice since there were only 3 movies screening at Marina GV then (Spiderman 3, 28 weeks and some malay horror flick) and '28 weeks' was the only choice really.
It was just... a pointless movie. Just mad zombies eating people and stuff; watching stupid people act stupidly and causing a second outbreak of some virus that turns people mad with rage; watching stupidly heroic people getting killed to save an apparent cure, only to spread the virus from Britain to mainland Europe. Argh.
It was 7 dollars wasted. I know we are supposed to draw parallels with Iraq and all, but lets just leave that for the critics. The only saving grace was that it was quite a well filmed and directed movie, from a horror thriller point of view.
ANYWAY, I am severely affected by the stupid movie because everywhere I go, I keep thinking about zombies and stuff, keep imagining that the next person I meet will spot bloodshot eyes and start vomiting blood and then charge at me in an attempt to bite my neck. So much so that I pitched the idea of 'Blood Lusting zombies forming a rock and roll band' for the Med D&D poster to Samantha. Which reminds me, I have to get something out by Friday. ARGH.
And I don't think its wise to watch a show about a killer virus set in London, especially when you are just about to leave for Europe and said city for a 3 week tour in another few days time.
Oh and I bought two Lego Star Wars key chains on Tuesday!
My Darth Vader and Imperial Royal Guard Lego key chains are now accompanying me wherever I go. Gerard and I are very fascinated by the Lego Star Wars sets that cost like a bomb, and when we saw a huge collection of Lego Star Wars key chains, I think we sorta lost it. We both bought a Darth Vader key chain because hello, Darth Vader is like one of the greatest kick ass villains ever and he is like synonymous with the whole Star Wars series!
On top of that, I bought an Imperial Royal Guard because, well, it was a childhood ambition of mine to be one of those guys protecting the Emperor. (obviously that ambition has changed after I inadvertently discovered that the Star Wars universe was actually not real.) Gerard bought an R2D2 key chain as well. Woo hoo! Star Wars Lego is so cool! I really hope Peishan does buy the 17'000 dollar Lego set for Gerard, then we can all go to his house and play Lego! So fun! Weeeee~!
Today's PDCP was literally a battle of the sexes kind of slugfest. OMFG. It was hell. I was feeling so drained after the morning tutorial that I decided to skip the afternoon lectures and tutorials just to go home and sleep.
I can't believe we are having an essay writing exam for PDCP. I mean, seriously, what's the point?
I'm starting to feel my pre-trip depression setting in. Argh. I hate packing and planning for holidays, and I hate it when people around me are packing and planning it as well. Its just a weird thing I have for holiday trips. Dunno why. But oh well, feeling so exhausted at the thought of going on holiday. Bleah.
Tomorrow's supposed to be our break from PDCP. Gonna go for Anat group lunch with Prof Raj, then try to get my packing started and start work on my maps and of course Med D&D poster before Samantha pesters me for it on Friday.Labels: friends, movie, randomness, school |
