Flight cancelled??!!!!

Right, how am I feeling?? Honestly I was not really looking forward to home but after this whole hiatus, I am just feeling very very tired.

I don't know why since Tuesday (slept at 3am, woke up at 6am!!) I have been sleeping for 3-4 hours. So even if I sleep at 12ish 1am, I still wake up at 4ish 5am. And it's taking the toll now because I had a bad tension headache yesterday which lasted forever.

Anyway, back to the whole flight cancellation story.

I stayed overnight at my friend's place after having dinner with my old and new housemates and friends because of key issue. Left house at 3pm for the 5pm flight but we got a call from our friend at the airport who was supposed to fly at 2pm at around 2.30pm telling us that all flights are cancelled.

My friends were like 'NOOoooo' while I was 'erm OK'.....so when we arrived, we were glad that we were allowed to check in but at 4.35pm, I got a text from the flight company (bmi) stating that our flight is cancelled. We were in denial so we just ignored and sat for another 15 minutes before we went to the board to check. Right, 5pm flight to Heathrow- cancelled.

So we exited the departure hall and went out and what greeted us was a long queue of homosapiens all looking frustrated. Went to bmi service counter and queued for almost 2 hours. At the meantime, we made friends with the couple in front of us who took a 3 months break from their B&B work to travel around and their this flight was to South Africa!!

When it was our turn, the best news that the lady at the counter could give us was- earliest flight to KL is on Sunday because all flights to KL are fully booked.

Anyway, after a whole hoohah (my head was just pounding away so I didn't speak much), we finally decided to fly out on Friday (in case the fog sets in on Sunday again) and stay at London for 2 days then take the Sunday night flight home. BUT my friend wanted compensation so we are now trying to get a free accommodation aka hotel at London  Honestly, she has lots of friends and even an aunt at London so we actually have no problem with accommodation LOL

Took the taxi (again!) and went to my friends place and we had Indian food at 10pm while watching TV. Slept at 12am and I woke up at 4ish am!!!!! ARGH!!! I want to sleep longer!!!!!

Just hope that I won't have a bad headache later and I have no idea why, I'm having bad car sick!!!

Hmm...looking at the bright side, I can now travel and spend time at London....POTO musical, here I come!!!!

Post 4th year exam

Yeah, it's over!!!!!

If it's possible, honestly I would like to repeat my 4th year but not because I fail the exams but due to the fact that I enjoyed it so much!!

I'm going to miss my ward group mates. I think I am very very lucky to have them as my ward group mates. I'm seriously going to miss them =(

After OSCE, we had a last dinner together as Group 2 and had so much fun. We rock it in Hungarian Style. We went to this Hungarian restaurant called Goulash and had a bang there. I had red wine and champagne!!! We talked and laughed and took lots of pictures....gosh I miss them already.

The ex-president of medical society aka one of my ward group mate managed to book a club just for us 4th year from 11pm-2am. I was tempted to go but I was knackered. I was so nervous for my OSCE earlier the day that I had epigastric pain and I think I used up lots of Glucose and hence I was hungry and nauseous in my friend's car when we drove to the beach for food shopping. Anyway, bottom-line is, I was very very tired.

So I went home, had a long chat with my housemates, bathed and by the time I sat down to relax, it was 12am. Instead of sleeping, I went and repack my luggage bag (insert foodies) and cleared my books and notes and uploaded pictures on to facebook and by the time I finished everything, it was 3am =/

I have no idea why or how but I woke up at 6am in the morning and since then, skyped with my mom for almost 3 hours LOL

The thing I am very very proud of myself is that I actually made friends with the locals and there were people who texted me asking if I'm going clubbing at 11pm!! They actually bothered to text and ask me!!! WOW right!!! I know =)
Felt so guilty telling them I am not going =/

Anyway, exam is over.
I hope that I won't fail.
I know that I will miss my groupmates.
I know that final year won't be the same anymore since we are all scattered around Scotland.
I know that I am not looking forward to going home since it's hot and hazy now and I'm going to be home the whole 6-8 weeks cleaning the house and helping my sister with her studies.

Fun??
4th year was......not home maybe....

Toodles, going to the GMC registration thing....

Like how the locals end their texts.

Post written paper exam...

It's been 3 days since my last written paper exam. What have I been doing since?

- Cleaned house
- Cleared room
- 'Welcomed' a new housemate
- Watched more Youtube and manga
- Lost interest in the shows that I found entertaining when I was studying for my written paper
- Lost sleep because the duvet on my bed is now in the living room for the new housemate and I am too cold
- Start to get the mood to revise for my OSCE aka I am worried that I'll screw up

Right. I actually have no mood to blog but I am just too cold, tired and sleepy. I slept at 2am this morning and by 4.30am I was wide awake even though I am tired.

Looking forward to OSCE? Well, looking forward to the END of OSCE.

Looking forward to go home? Well, looking forward to be in a warm place but to be honest, it doesn't necessary need to be home. Home is too hot and it's too hazy!

Looking forward to food at home? Well, honestly no mood to think about food.

Just finished watching the movie XXY

It's a 2007 Argentine movie about a 15year old girl (Alex) who is a hermaphroditic, the way her family cope with her condition and the ultimate decision that she must eventually make as she finds her gender identity.

To be honest, it was a slow movie for me to watch since I'm so tired and mentally drained but somehow I managed to sit through the whole 1 hour 25minutes.

XXY is also known as Klinefelter Syndrome but it does not apply in this show as she has both female and male genitalia. It still amazes me as to how open and how censorship works in this country. It's very interesting to be at this side of the world.

Right, I have no idea what I am typing so I am going to just stop here and maybe try to take 40 winks even though the sky is bright albeit the gloomy clouds blanketing the rainy sky.

PS: Kurt's new song- Bruno Mar's Medley is SO GOOD!!!
PPS: I want to watch a musical!!!!

I deserve to die

*WARNING!* Total ranting time....

Right, seriously, I DESERVE TO DIE!!!!!

Exam in another 3 days and what have I been doing the whole afternoon
- Eating and munching
- Googling about food
- FB-ing
- Reading manga
- Watching Youtube
- Watching 8 out of 10 cats (whole season in a go)
and now blogging

GREAT, I totally deserve to fail my exam die!!!!

You must be thinking that I must be prepared but let me stop you there, I HAVE NOT BEEN STUDYING. Seriously, honestly....what I have been doing is doing all the above for the past 1 month. Real studying happened during the 1st week of my CNS block then everything just went down hill.

Reading all my seniors' statuses on passing their exam and finally, officially graduate as a doctor, I really really envy them and hope I can be like them next year....IF I FREAKING DON'T FAIL THIS TIME!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mood Swing?

I know, it's typical for a female to have mood swings and guys always refer it as 'the month'.

Obviously I am not in 'the month' but I think I just snapped at my friend.
I asked her if she wants to join us watching the Olympic Torch Relay tomorrow evening at town and she replied 'I might be getting bus pass to pick my parcel at Cove.'
Then I waited thinking there might be another reply coming.
.........
I just took my phone and replied: So you joining or not?
Before clicking send, I added a =) at the back.

Then I reflected back and realised I was being very mean by replying that way...

BUT

There was no answer in that message. No hint of Yes/ No/ Maybe joining right? Am I right or am I too dense to understand what she meant by that reply? Well, at least I put at =) at the back <.<

Hmmm....

Maybe knowing exam is in another 7 days away while I watch Mirror Mirror (Snow White)



and

Hunger Games



just irritates me.
Why am I wasting time NOT STUDYING?
Hoping for a fail?
Great =/

Oh the plan of going to Tassie to visit my friend is out of the question as well since dad gently rejected that proposal with a  'I won't say no but it'll be good if you stay at home and help your sis with her SPM. What will other people say seeing you flying here and there? Later they think I am rich.'
GREAT......just freaking great.....what am I going to do at home for that 7 weeks? Better just stay here...at least I don't need to do any housework for others or feeling hot and sweaty all the time or.....shit, why am I complaining when I have the chance to go home...smack me.

I need to grow up...don't mess with me >.
