uni!

2008-03-11T11:48:37Z

alright, so i've been in uni for 3 weeks now - 4 including orientation, so that's almost a month. and i guess i've enjoyed it so far. med people are really nice (as expected - almost too nice sometimes, i feel like such a bitch all the time), n i love the freedom. hate the 6am mornings, where i hafta get to lecture by 8.

but monash med reminds me of ip in a lot of ways - its an "integrated" approach, n we don't do as much bio n physiology n anatomy as normal med schools - lots of clinical skills n patient centred learning and tutorials and role-plays and group projects and presentations - which is a lot of fun. oh and the work's startin to pile up - the self-directed learning thing is starting to piss me off, cos a lot of the stuff they give you is so darn vague.

med's a real close faculty - and i couldnt believe some of the people i met in my year. for starters, theres 10 plc girls (biggest group there is i think, besides mlc, who also has 10), so we make up quite a bunch. then i met this dude who went to ais in spore in yr 7 or smth - what are the chances! and there's hui... something or other, who was the vp of council in nj when i was in like ip2 or something. i think there's another nj girl as well but i havent really introduced myself. i was surprised to find this huge group of sporeans in med - i thought they all preferred uk or usa. but then again, we have a 5 year med program - much cooler than those stupid 6-year ones.

donating blood tomorrow - and i just lost like 100ml of blood for blood tests yesterday. and i have my monthlies. losses all around!

ok will update soon.

eighteen

2007-12-05T14:57:00Z

ive had possibly the worst birthday ever. ok, one of the worst. but who am i to judge - ive the memory of a goldfish.

woke up in the morning and found that the hives ive been getting since i got singapore have spread. its an allergic reaction to something or other, and now my entire arms and legs are completely covered with mosquito-bite like things, and worst of all, my FACE too. its completely disgusting and i feel like a wart-faced hag. its disgusting. irks me. argh. and i can feel my back and neck starting to get lumpy too. the doctor said it could last up to a month. ive never felt so ugly in my life. everyone on the streets keeps STARING at me. i feel so repulsive. and it ITCHES and HURTS. and the medicine that the doc gave me makes me all dizzy and emotional and awljhjk ffjas. i hate this.

and mum had to yell at me til i cried. i know it sounds pathetic n all, but the medication and the hives, and everything just.....ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

yeah, but i guess at the end of the day - ive finally turned eighteen. hooray.

back in spore

2007-12-04T15:35:19Z

so im back in spore, exams, interviews, everythings all over... and life's really not that great.

mums horribly sick with some anxiety disorder thing and its making my life miserable. she's always in a foul mood and i just have to take it in - cos i know i really cant make her angry and im meant to look after her. been staying at home cookin and doing chores. to be honest, its really made me feel quite depressed - id imagined something completely different after exams.

oh and im not even going to begin to talk about interviews and flying interstate and whatnot. lets just say it was a hectic couple of days.

so far ive only been out once - with stas last night for a nice dinner. nice seeing her in singapore. oh and last night was nj prom, right? heard it was a blast, and judgin by the pictures, everybody looked sensational. totally jealous here. haha. really wanted to go to the afterparty, but with my mum all stressed n sick n everything, really couldnt leave her behind.

went for a 12km walk this morning. im pretty sure my legs and going to fall off tomorrow.

its really hard to not lose my temper at my mum. really really hard. but heck im trying my hardest, i really am.

oh, and by australian time, im now officially 18. im a freakin adult now.

oh shit. i can go to jail now.

argh ill survive.

anw, here's some videos from acoustic night... both of these young fellas are 16! hmm the first one, ben, makes me laugh when i look at him, but when i close my eyes i like the sounds he makes. ok i sound horrible. he's not THAT bad but... argh just listen to his voice. oh and the other time he sang little birdies' bodies n it was... good, but still made me laugh haha. but he's talented, he is! he's got a great soft voice.

http://australianidol.com.au/video.html?channel=Per:Final+9&clipid=1933_879TT300907&CMP=LEC-Idol_videoshare-primary

ok then there's pretty boy matt whose got pretty eyes and has annoying girly squealy supporters - but i hafta say, he's talented. watch his other videos... like when he sang the immigrant song! hmm he's a bit shaky at the beginnin, but i find it rather quite beautiful. maybe its cos i've got a soft spot for damien rice songs. even though i don't quite understand the movie closer. ok now im going off topic.

http://australianidol.com.au/video.html?channel=Per:Final+9&clipid=1933_876TT300907&CMP=LEC-Idol_videoshare-primary

regrets and the likes.

2007-09-28T12:13:18Z

the september holidays are meant to be the most productive holidays of your life.

but surprise surprise, these holidays ended up being the least productive holidays of my life. not only have i failed to have fun, but ive failed to get ANY work done. whats wrong with me - i have exams in less than 2 weeks - ones which determine the rest of my life! i dont know why im not even bothering to TRY. i should be more motivated. i planned long lists of practice exams etc to do but i havent touched A SINGLE ONE OF THEM. instead of being a good little girl and studying my ass off, i tell my mum im doing work on my laptop, and watch countless useless thingies on youtube, and go on facebook! it doesnt help that the facebook craze has FINALLY spread to singapore. and then the worst part is the guilt - the guilt i feel at the end of the day when i open up my diary and realise that ive done NOTHING.

and all this family drama's not helping. everybody's yelling all the time. i never know when im allowed to cry. i wish things were back to how they used to be.

everythings happening this year. its like they've decided to pile everything on me this year, to see how im going to cope. i don't get it. EVERYTHINGs happening this year. from harrassive phone calls to weird infections to hospital dramas to people stealin my camera n wallet to family wars to family tragedy. i just dont understand it. i feel so choked up. oh no this ones gna fall under another one of my emo-update categories. i hate reading these things. but its therapy, i guess.

and looking at the aiss people's valedictory dinner photos - im starting to get jittery. and teary. and dammmn, im jealous too. i hate looking back at schools that ive been to, and asking myself : "would i have been happier if i stayed?". useless regrets. stupid. pathetic. i hate feeling confused. argh would you just shut up nina.

ta.

dont even bother reading this post, really i mean it.

2007-09-17T13:43:00Z

my mums arriving in melbourne tomorrrrow. tomorrrrow! with my sister!

thats the 18th

then the 19th is... rozs bday i think. and the 20th UMAT RESULTS. then 10th of 10th is oral exam!

its funny how all these dates just STICK to your head.

i cant believe im so excited my mums coming. i always get so excited before i go back or before i come back or before somebody comes over. but then when it really DOES happen i get bored of it all, or just really irritated at whatever it is that seems irritating at the time. ive become so impatient these few years, and ive become so darn pessimistic. when did everybody start becoming annoying and when did everything start ganging up against me, trying their bloody best to piss me off? and nowadays, i can get so darn emotional about the tiniest of things, then BOOM id be normal again. i am such a freak. seriously.

haha but im in a good mood at the moment so thats all that counts.

i hate the taste of listerine btw.

argh ive been sleeping so much nowadays its not funny. okok because everyone just ADORES hearing how i spend my pathetic days, im gna make all of you go through the agony of hearing me list my sleeping habits. actually, i seriously doubt anybody reads this thing at all, given how i never seem to post up anything remotely interesting nowadays. its all like: IM STRESSED. or IM SO DEAD I HAVE SOMETHING DUE. or I HAVE A TEST TOMORROW... is my life really so darn pathetic and so frickn meaningless? daaaammmmn. im a sad sad soul..

okok ANW now i cant be bothered listing down my sleeping habits anymore. i just wna slap myself for being so boring. stupid.

argh ok fine for those who are interested, i sleep at 2am-ish, then wake up at 1pm-ish, then nap at 3pm-ish (after breakfast, and lunch) and wake up at 7pm-ish (for dinner) then study/watch tv for a few hours, then go on the internet at 11pm-ish! its true, i spend most of my day sleeping. and the exercise i do is simply taking those 10 steps out of my room to eat at the dining table. no, im not going to die early.

thats it, thats done. im gna smash somebodys face with a pie on facebook. ta

NINA IS GOING TO STUDY.

2007-09-16T02:38:19Z
