See i'm posting! Haha, took me a couple of tries before i got the password to log in right this time though lol. So, today was the first day of the new sem. Wasn't too bad apart from the three hour endo lecture. Which, wait, was pretty much all we had on today haha. Sorry, just me being lame. Anyhow, still not too busy at the moment since it's block teaching week and all, and i just felt like posting something up.
I don't know whether it's the same in the other australian dental schools, but we have really REALLY long lectures during block teaching week here in Queensland. I have another three hour lecture tomorrow morning, and i remember having a three hour pros lecture during block teaching week for the first sem. Considering that our lectures during the rest of the sem normally last an hour, three hours is INSANE!! Hell, one hour is bad enough for me, (i start staring at the clock after 15-30 mins depending on how boring the lecture is)- three hours is pure torture. I have no concentration or focus :( Strangely, i don't fall asleep in lectures...at least not as much compared to when i was in IMU! Really. I hardly ever sleep in class now. Who would have thunk it? Maybe i feel too paiseh or something haha.
On a different note, some of y'all may know that i'm a pretty hardcore follower of masterchef, and i've been gunning for the only malaysian in this year's competition, Billy to win. And he got kicked out tonight!! Nani???!! Haha, but seriously, there's been a malaysian in the top two in previous seasons, so tonight marks the end of the malaysian streak :( As much as i support him as a fellow malaysian, he also seemed like a genuinely nice guy, and a good cook who was really fun to watch so it is pretty sad to watch him leave :(
Now for a super abrupt ending- gotta go sleep now, niteys! Hahahaha :P

Grateful :)
Hi all! Majorly surprised i managed to get my password right, on the first go too! That said, i know i've had a reaallly long hiatus from blogging, (if you could even call it that), but i had perfectly justifiable reasons! Mostly due to time constraints- the timetable here is crazy! But hey, i guess if you want to do something bad enough, you'll find the time to do it, and sadly, that obviously wasn't the case for me. But i'm back again!! Hahaha, well, it is the hols, and i am super free i must say, so what the hell! And i will try to keep up with it this time, for real. My timetable for next sem is just as crazy though, if not worse- just sayin' ;)Did i mention i have a weekly 7.30 am lecture too? I'm still reeling from it haha.
Oh, and i've also changed the background! As much as i like blue, the overdose of blue-ness was verging on depressing for me *surprise suprise*. But really, this post was just to express my overall gratitude and thanks. I went through a series of REALLY difficult exams a couple of weeks ago, and recently received some of my results. More importantly, i had passed the exam i was most worried about. I was beyond surprised. Downright flabbergasted. I had convinced myself i WAS going to fail, probably as a defense mechanism so i wouldn't get too cut up about it if i DID fail. So believe me when i say i really am very very grateful for it.
I still have 3 more results to come out, so i'm not completely out of the woods yet, but fingers crossed, everything will be alright :) Not just for me, but for everyone else who had exams recently as well. I was feeling terribly jaded, old and just worn-out during the past couple of months, if not longer, but i have to admit, this has lifted my spirits just a tad bit. Not that i feel brand-new, in fact, i think it's hard for me to NOT feel jaded, this has come as a bit of a wake-up call to me that i have HEAPS of things to be grateful and thankful for. It's easy to forget it all during times of unbearable stress and tension, but i guess it's something i've gotta learn to keep in mind.
