Back to school from a 2 week break and now its a public holiday again...Anzac Day as the aussies call it. Well, mood now: stone... caught up with this breast cancer case where we have to do guidelines for physical exam, history taking, breast pack information blah blah blah and now there's more PBL learning issues to handle about treatment for breast cancer...woohoo...gonna be a breast cancer guru liao...Anyway, just a side track, ladies..remember to get your routine mammogram if u're after 40... don't run the risk. back on course, yesterday was a totally turn off pbl session. sometimes i really wonder why the hell am i paying 50 aussie bucks for a 2 hr session of pbl and all my group does is talk cock sing song in class? we r way too off focus... the tutor doesn't really give a damm (pardon the vulgarity) at times too... haiz... there's this disAbility assignment due in three weeks time: totally mppd and waste of time...juz want to get it over and done with. juz got a haircut yesterday. bad experience coupled with the bad pbl session=bad day... wah..ang mohs really can't cut asian hair for nuts!!! tell her cut short enough, but not too short to spike up but no no no...at the end of the haircut, hair's all gone lest for a flat top...haiz...never going back to that shop ever again...should have stuck to the toni & guy appointment and guai guai cut after med ball...
there's now this frenzy of events going on for the next few weeks which r confirm gonna burn a hole in my wallet...21st bdaes, med ball, meetings blah blah. got to save save save and cook in instead of eating out. was reflecting again the other day, u knoe when u suddenly feel like nothing to do and u lie on your bed, look up to a plain cream coloured ceiling and random thoughts start flying around... tot of how lucky i am to be born into a financially stable family with good parents and be blessed with good education in good schools...no need to worry abt too many things for the past 21 years. bed of roses i would say. but wat if? wat if? there were some obstacles i had to go through...say we became financially in need and i would have to work and study..would things be different now?? would i still be studying medicine?? i'm really grateful for where i am today, having the opportunity to do medicine overseas...its not an opportunity that comes by easily and i got to learn to treasure it real hard...play hard but also study hard. i knoe that i'm not on a scholarship or anything, but its my parents' hard earned money over the years...so this is really important to me...
ok. back to breast cancer and treatment methods.
later.

It seems like I always stop blogging for long periods of time and then have a post. Apparently, this causes me to lose my blog readers. Haha. Nvm. Two weeks of holidays have simply zoomed past just like that...School's starting on Monday but the interesting thing is I only have PBL on monday and tuesday's anzac day... so this means one more day of break!! There's nothing much on next week in sch cept for some lectures and PBL. Still got work to do, so this shall be a short post...
Till then...

Woo Hoo! Mid Sem hols are finally here after 6 weeks of sch which seems to have passed by so quickly... Anyway, i'm gonna take a short break b4 getting things going again. So much has happened since the last post and i really feel i ought to update!!
First Big Thing: Baby Boy Cooper James Blanch
My pregnant woman, Julie has finally given birth to a cute and healthy little boy Cooper. He was delivered on the 18 March at 1.26 pm (similar digits to my house no...coincidence??) at Modbury Hospital. So happy for Julie and Rowan!But i feel so bad not having gone to visit them since the baby was born...sent them a card though but i've decided that i'm gonna visit them some time during this hols. Now its down to the gruelling task of writing out that report of the whole pregnancy... signz.
Second Big Thing: Qiang: Best Recruit Whiskey Coy
Being here in adelaide and not having gone for the POP, it really is a pleasure to know that your bro was the coy best during his BMT stint. hmm, looking back at my BMT days, haiz... anyway, got some photos of the day of his POP and some prominent figures were there too. 
anyway, now that he's been in OCS for 3 weeks already, i guess he's settled down quite well. we've never had to worry abt him cos since young, he's always been that independent and seeing him en route to being an officer to lead, excel and overcome certainly makes me feel proud.
These were the major things that happened in adelaide and singapore. In adelaide, there's much to revise during the hols and other stuff to do as well. Uncle's still in a state of imbalance, waiting for his job application...just have to wait and see. but if he gets it, then i'm moving out of my room. hols r like a time for reflection , to look back at the way i've managed my work, myself in the past few months. I knoe i've been doing constant work, but there's just that feeling that its not enough. haiz...i really don't knoe man..guess i'll just have to take a step at a time. the only worrying thing now is the newly named Reasoning Learning Explaination part of the exams that I'm concerned. they've gone through it pretty much in the past few weeks, hoping that we're assured of the technique of attacking it. **fingers crossed for now**.
not going anywhere this hols though, guess i'll just stay in adelaide and keep myself busy. two weeks isn't that long afterall... hope these two weeks are productive.
