Update

Mock week's up. =)

It's time to be studying.. But all I have in mind is the coming holiday.

-Christmas Holiday-

Can't wait to go to Paris (that is, if everything works out right.)


Can't wait for the interviews to be over too. Just wished that I could record the interview and when another university sends a letter and ask me to go for an interview, I could just send them the recorder. All possible interview questions answered, nice and easy.

According to some rather unreliable source, BMAT results would be out next week. Ohhh the suspense. xD. If and only if I get 19points above, I could automatically get interviewed by UCL! hmmm, 19 damned points.. geez, if I got 10 points, I'd be laughing my heads off!


Ahhhaizzz.. good old days when Mom was there to nag me into studying.


I miss all me Malaysian friends.

I miss life in WMS.

I miss home.

Complains again.

I can feel the laziness growing inside of me. Everything I do, I do it halfway, unless I really like what I'm doing =).

Homework is seriously piling up. Interview to worry about next week! Gosh, my life is a mess. I really need to sort things out NOW! I need an organizer! NO! I NEED A MOM!! better yet, I NEED MONICA GELLAR-BING!!

Freaking cold nowadays. It's like what- 2°c ? 3°c? It snowed a little too, yesterday. Seriously little, no more than 2 minutes. And the snow didn't melt away that fast. Unlike March, where the now melted within minutes. Not very excited with the snow this time.

Writing essay on "why I chose medicine" is super hard. Millions upon Millions of reason, none of them convincing enough. Honest though, but not convincing. =(

I need 2 weeks of holiday to clear up everything but damn mocks coming up real soon. I'm so tired now. I wanna sleep.


I'm complaining so much.

Complaining is my new hobby.

Sheffield's Interview. -.-"

Finally, University of Sheffield wants to interview me on the 2nd of December..
Not an offer yet, just an interview, nothing to get excited about really. =P

Pretty sure I could answer most of the interview question except one really really important one:
-why do you want to study medicine?-

I need to write an essay on why I wanna study medicine real soon, just to get myself prepared. =)
Gonna have to start having mock interviews with Julian the whole of next week too. I'm absolutely unprepared. But hey, I got 3 insurance choices and 1 main one, what's there to worry eh?

Weather forecast says it's gonna be snowing these few days. What do I say? I say Bullshit. I'm here long enough not to trust what weather forecast says. Really just makes you sad when there's no snow.

Days are short and Nights are long now. Going to school at 4 pm feels like going to school at 7 pm.


Around 8 in the morning.


4 in the afternoon.
Big change eh? in such short hours.

That's UK =) Wait till winter, it gets even darker at earlier time.

Psychology

Psychology is so waaay freaking cool. =)

If only there were so little things to memorize, I would study psychology for A-levels. Yesterday evening while I was at Pagan's room, she handed me this A2 psychology textbook and asked me to read about sleeping.

Awesomeness...

Do you know?
There are 2 factors that make you wanna sleep.

1) endogenous factor a.k.a biological clock thingi.
If one person's sleep is influenced mainly by biological clock, then you'd sleep when your biological time is up. To adjust the correct time, there's no telling how long it'll take.

2) exogenous factor , errr.. something to do with outer factor such as light.
Light plays an important role in determining whether one is going to sleep or not. Amazing eh?

Presence of light discourages the release of melatonin from the pituitary gland. Darker environment would therefore, stimulates release of melatonin. The darker the place is, the more melatonin is released. Melatonin is the hormone that makes people wanna sleep.


In conclusion, if you can't sleep at night but really feel like sleeping in the morning, your biological clock is damaged. Go get it repaired!!

If you have no problem sleeping at night and when the room really gets dark out of a sudden and you feel like sleeping already, your sleep is influenced by exogenous factor. In this case, you won't suffer terribly from jet lag. =)


I read this example on sleep walking and this guy (no idea what his name is) is superb. He was sleep walking. Walked over one storey high building, fell and landed on his mom's mercedes. Stood up after landed ( still sleeping) and continued walking across the street to nowhere. When he woke up, he realised he had a broken leg.



One more interesting fact:

Menstrual cycle of women can be influenced by pheromones!!
This is scientifically proven by some hamsap psychology person.

Women who are often close to other women in the long term e.g, boarding house etc etc.. seems to have synchronised periods. My friends here in UK used to be in girls' school and they say it's 100% true!!

When one of them say they're having period today, the one listening would automatically have period the next day! How bizarre!!

Internet!!

I think I'm cursed.. God's trying to tell me not to go online or use laptop anymore.
On Friday, happily reading my story book while waiting for the movie to finish downloading, internet connection just vanished. Poof out of existence. Gone. Extinct.

Other internet connections are available but I don't know their password and warden ain't coming home until God knows when.

Well, now that I'm blogging, this indicates that the warden is home. Sadly, he came back Sunday Night. Dammit. One whole boring Satuday. I hate my life.

In addition to that, there's still universities offers/interviews to worry. Almost every engineers or pharmacist are getting offers and interviews and here I am, with absolutely NOTHING...

Mock's really near. I'm unprepared. Chemistry Assessment next Tuesday, I got no head start.

Just really looking forward to
CHRISTMAS
HOLIDAY!!~

Offers and Intervies.

I don't know about you guys, but I seriously hate this font.
Damn laptop, why'd you have to die out of a sudden.

Anyway, .. busy week. Charmaine's birthday was 2 days ago. She's a legal biatch now and she has a boyfriend! hmmm.. Guess what I'm thinking charrr.! =) HAPPY MERRY 18th BIRTHDAY!!

Lately, I've been hearing alot on people getting university offers and interviews. Damn freaking jealous. All I got was some useless pathetic welcome letters. I blame myself for not getting good grades in AS level. Those genius who scored straight As with distintion in AEA and all the other grand results in some weird exams... ='(

Been wondering a lot about my friends in Malaysia. How are they doing eh.. How many of them got offers??

I got a class test later and here I am, blogging about my pathetic life.


....


normally at this point, I would get some weird quotes to put on, but I can't find any. I'll leave it this way. LIfe sucks. =)

The End.

Back and Loaded.

That's right! My laptop is back from a 7 days semi-successful surgery. Semi-successful you might ask? Well, everything in my laptop is GONE. Partially my fault...


Okay, all my fault.



Managed to find another source of virus to my laptop. The mouse!! The Damn mouse!! Before I plugged-in the mouse, everything was fine. After the mouse was plugged-in, laptop crashed, blue screen appeared. Scared the daylight out of me.

Seems like my mouse contains CIV - Computer immunodeficiency Virus. Penetrates the anti-virus in my laptop apparently.


Very deadly. Be very afraid.


After my laptop has been fried, I developed another phobia. I'm pretty sure this phobia won't last long but it's existing and cannot be ignore. I name it- cinematographicdownloadusphobia. It simply means - fear of downloading movies. Awesome!!


Right, now I present you, a picture of what it looks like when my laptop split into 6 or 7 or whatever number you like :-
