| we push and pull |
I realised I haven't been blogging for the past 5 days or so. So here I am! Been rather busy lately. Saturday was spent going to Medical Notes, and Sunday was spent going to the airport to send my cousin (and Ailin!) off. Monday was spent at Gladys' house with GAG - a whole afternoon of random sound bites, pointless stoning and sipping tea. Tuesday and Friday - Tuition. And today's my Grandpa's birthday. Ah, life.
Its recess week people! I'm abit sad that its now Wednesday, the midpoint of Recess Week. Time passes too quickly - we have so little time to attempt to accomplish so much. There's loads of reading left to do, and I'm trying very hard to NOT freak out about it and to keep up some level of consistently reading. I realize its very hard to juggle work and play this year, but I don't really have a choice - I think I'm more inclined to being a hermit for now, to just hibernate at home and catch up with reading; which is probably why I'm keeping outings to a bare minimum this week.
That said, I am thankful for the golden opportunity to wake up at 0930 everyday. I think it makes a difference being able to wake up late, when the sun's already up, instead of waking up in the wee hours of the morning where everything's still dark and dreary. Someone should make it a crime to wake up earlier than 8. In fact, waking up later than 8 should be considered a basic right of humans! Its time to petition to the UN man!
On another note, my gigantic ulcers are FINALLY healing. They aren't painful anymore, which means I can finally enjoy my food without suppressing the urge to spew vulgarities each time I attempt to chew and swallow them. I conclude that tongue ulcers are the most torturous forms of ulcers. You really can't speak properly, can't eat properly, can't sleep properly - its just hell. If I've learnt anything from the experience, it'll be the fact that the tongue is actually an important organ - you don't realize how important it is until you can't use it properly (and you really need your tongue to do lots of stuff actually - you don't realize that you actually use it for THAT many things!). ANYWAY, I've learnt my lesson well, and I'm never going to underestimate the usefulness and importance of my tongue again. So Mr. Tongue, I respect you!
And to those who have been claiming that my ulcers are cause by an outbreak of latent Herpes Simplex 1 virus (HSV-1), I must insist that my ulcers ARE stress ulcers, not Herpes ulcers. Sigh. That's the thing about medical school, your friends are far from sympathetic when you get painful ulcers sprouting everywhere in your mouth - instead, they start speculating about how you had the ulcers, and the reasons they come up with are often ludicrous. Apart from HSV-1, other conditions that friends have insisted that I've been afflicted with include Foot-Hand-Mouth disease, Oral cancer and even AIDS. And they sure are having a hell of a good time mimicking my new 'muffled accent' and inability to pronounce the letters 's' and 'c'! What wonderful friends I have! Thank God I have a sense of humour! =p
Oh and before I go, I would like to introduce a series of hilariously cute Microbe Plushies to all my friends out there who are studying Medicine, Life Sciences or Biology. Credit to Geraldine for discovering the link! GAG and I had an amazing good time waxing lyrical about the dolls - there's lots of different versions: Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Influenza, Corona viruses, even HIV! And THEY ARE ALL SO DARN CUTE!
Follow this link to get to the site!
And here are some of my favourites!
Corona Virus: So cute! I feel like pinching it man!
Rabies: IT HAS BLOOD SHOT EYES! So adorable! Reminds me of the 'Rage' virus from 28 weeks later.
Gonorrhea: SO DARN CUTE! I love its innocent stare! It really is infectious.
Because everyone says I have Herpes, I really am considering getting a Herpes doll!
Pity they don't deliver to S'pore! I think every Medical and Life Science student should get at least one! I shall consider ordering it and sending it to my uncle in the US or friends in US/UK to get them to bring it back for me.
I think its time I go and catch up with reading!Labels: randomness |
