Transiting in Dubai.
Im sitting in Dubai's Emirates Business Lounge (but no, im not lucky enough to take the comfy class, im just here cos Ive flown enough for them to decide that i deserve slightly better treatment), and peering at the food counter not too far from me and wondering its free food like what the newsletter they sent me said. Im already drooooling at the fresh fruits the chap opposite me is having.
But im too humji to ask the waiter if it so, so im just sitting here enjoying the free net and slightly more comfy chairs. Its nothing fantastic really, but its just that after walking more then 100gates from my departure gate, Im determined to at least sit here for abit longer.
While im impressed that Dubai's airport is huge (Im in terminal 3 and there are like 260 gates, most of them in use. It takes about 5mins for the shuttle bus to fetch me from the plane to the airport itself, cos its too crowded for all planes to land nxt to the airport and have those connectors that link you straight to the airport.), I dont like cos it freaks me out when i have to rush for connecting flights and the gate is super far away, with constant announcements that my flight is closing and please proceed to gate XXX for immediate boarding.
But of course, i like the fact that it is new and quite clean, and nothing as chaotic as Heathrow. So im not complaining much, cos it would definitely be a chore to be transferring there.
Im completely shattered now that easter's over and im so behind for revision. I think it is like on a constant repeat on all my entries now. (And will be so as long as its an entry before the exam itself, after which it would possibly be- jialat, crap, damn, pangsaiiii.) I realised that one bad thing abt going home is that you spend a large amt of time packing to get home and then trying to adapt back to being home and then there is that pre- departure flurry too after that with all the last min packing and getting random stuff that we'll miss (pocky!) and what not, and then of course the very long plane ride that literally takes more than half the day (esp for me with a long transfer).
Now what im dreading most is dragging the darn luggages back to my room. The thought of having to lug it up the stairs at the tube stn and up to my 2nd storey room is already making me want to throw up. Really, for an advanced place, im appalled that London tubes dont have lifts in all stations.
Oh and its back to, laundry and dishes days :(
Sobs.

Dreading the flight back :(
I seem to have this trouble of getting my flight dates right. It has (fortunately) just occurred to me that im going to be heading back to Bleak Land tmr. And all this while I was still thinking I have 2 more days in Singapore.
The last time this happened, I organised a loser outing on the day when I was going to be flying back from London, forgetting that there was a time difference between singapore and london, and hence i would be reaching 1 day later. So being a Loser outing, it never came to as usual. But im glad i managed to eventually meet up with them anyway :) Everyone looks well!
And time passes insanely quickly when Im home, I cant believe that Easter's gone :( I have a feeling im going to miss all my artery- clogging suppers and 35degrees days and nice huge comfy room and maria (or is it susi? ok im bad at names. but you get the idea, i mean domestic help).
I havent done my pharmco and epidemiology assignment at all (if anyone is willing to lend a helping hand, yours truly will be indebted and extremely grateful). I'll prbly try to work on it abit at the airport and on the plane. And heading to Bleak Land also means that its finally going to dawn upon me that Im in deep shit for not working hard enough during the hols :(
But this certainly makes its look alot better:
Im heading back for Singapore Day in time, which I realised is actually pretty silly. But its always hard to turn down freeeeee fooooood! Would of course be better if Stef Sun and JJ Lin was there. Throw in a Gong Li too, she's afterall Singaporean! Oh flying in Felicia Chin would certainly make the days of us stressed out, depressed students.
This brings me to the point of why is there no cute male artistes in Singapore eh?
Waitttt, is Utt Singaporean? Does he have a PR? Would be good if he did, pack him in too!

Whines and Dines.
Im bored of mugging and yet freaking out cos i know i possibly wont be able to finish all the stuff.
How come so contradictory ah?
Its so stupid cos i sit there going "Shit shit i cant finish this and that, oh and i still have XXX and YYY. I better not forget to cram ZZZ too." and yet, "Sian, i dont want to do anymore of this anymore. Im going to tear the bloody book up."
Sigh, its times like this i wish i wasnt a medic.
But to look on the brighter side, as least im not a lawyer, having no essays does make it look alot less bleak (:
And i hate exam period too, cos im sucha COMFORT EATERRRRRR. Help.

What scares me.
It seems like nowadays everyone is getting all sorts of cancer:
1. Singapore's DBS CEO Richard Stanley has died of an infection from his leukemia this morning.
It was really quite a shocker considering that I read only on Sat that his condition took a turn for the worse, and within a day, he has left.
2. Steve Jobs of Apple has Pancretic Cancer. Old news but I have to admit i have only come to know of it recently.
3. Ah Sang (taiwanese singer who sang ye zi) died of Breast Cancer not too long ago.
It scares me loads really, especially when i have seen my own granddad lose his battle to it.
But what scares me more now is the impending June Exams, of which I am so not prepared for :(
Im crossing my fingers that Im going to start finding my momentum soon, and that Im going to get scared enough to start working harder. As of now, 还没火烧屁股，不知什么是害怕。I hate exams! :(((((((
And finally, this is what has been scaring me too:
That's Daniel Wu in Shinjuuku Incident.
Reminds me of Heath Ledger's Joker, but scares me more really :( Esp the scene where his hand got chopped off (Im wondering how I can be a surgeon like this).
But the movie was pretty good, but too violent in my opinion, and has an impressive cast. If you dont get affected by gore, its probably one of the better movies out now.

The older the better.
Recently, i borrowed my brother's ipod which he has abandoned, meaning that he hasnt updated it for possibly longer than me (and i havent in at least 1.5yrs). And im reminded of all the good old songs which I think beat the recent trashy ones hands down.
The version on her album is def better than this one on youtube.
Anyone knows where Stef Sun is or whats she's up too nowadays?

Exam Rant.
This pretty much serves me right for bragging that i'll be able to mug better at home.
Apparently not, considering i havent completed half of what i set out to do, and the damn pharm drug names just keeps spilling out. Im dead bored of anat, but i dont know it well enough. And sorry, but im one of those rare singaporean medics who dont like neuro.
Plus, im also partly distracted by my unconfirmed holiday plans. Im kinda worried that the flight prices will continue going up, but dj aint replying me. Part of me doesnt want to go anymore, and yet i dont want to be rotting in london for 2 weeks, while going mad waiting for results to come out. And this also means that the 2nd leg of the trip with Prisc is put on hold now.
New movies are coming out and I want to watch them (thinking of it, i havent watched a movie in more than a year). I want to go swimming and get back my tan. (But 清明节 is here and it keeps raining.) Sighs.
Most of all, I wish there were no exams. (Doesnt everyone?) I hate the way everytime i come back, there is going to be a paper the moment i return. Defeats the point of having a holiday right (or maybe dont call it a holiday anymore!)?
Okay, i shall stop being postmenopausal and get out of this rut.
Finallyyyyy,
And thanks to ERNIE-KU FOR THE SCARF! (((((:
