Saturday was one busy busy day...
i got up just after 8, went to school at 9 to 1 for math 'revision session' (which wasnt really helpful cuz all we did was this past exam paper...) got home, had lunch, watched a bit of tv (i think.. if not i dont remember what else i did). Then went to this Australian medical universities fair. talked to Curtin, Monash, and U of South Australia (USA. haha.. if i do go there i'll be saying 'i go to USA' haha) curtin and monash sounds hard to get in. they both want me to do good in math. im okay with chem already. dammit. WHY did i choose to do higher math!?!? actuallly.. im not sure if they expect my math to be higher. i think curtin wanted higher math.
anyway, now USA sounds really good. i only need 28 points.. haha. and its on a first come first served basis thing. so i can apply using my forecast results (the lady said i could) and find out whether im in or not as soon as possible. i think. and whats good about USA is that (according to the lady we talked to), the public transport is free everywhere, the university's computer lab is open 24/7 so if we need the comp to work till late at night, we can. and if we want to go home at like... 3am in the morning, we can call the uni's security ppl and they will send us home. that sounds too good to be true. i need to find out more...
anyway. and it also looks like a nice place. so why not?
so after the long time spent at the uni fair, i went to raffles plaza hotel and got there sometime before 6. we were having a sleepover there (thanks to amy!) so i dropped off my stuff in the hotel room, talked a while with amy, then wanda came and we went to Indochine for dinner. met up with othe rppl as well over there. there was this band (3 guitarists) at indochine. thats why we went there.
then went back to the hotel at around 10sth. and in all, 5 ppl stayed. didnt really get to sleep till 5:30. then sum crazy ppl who didnt sleep when i did went for a walk to the merlion at 6am to 7... but i was sleeping by then so i didnt know about it until we woke up the next morning.
so that was my saturday. and what we did the entire sat night instead of sleeping... well.. u dont have to know. :) but there was a lot of talking.

Today school was just the same old boring... but bioprac lesson today was uh... interesting. we're doing human reproduction. and we wtached this video... u know the guy who did Body Worlds (or sth like that?) where he plasticised real human bodies and displayed them... i saw that in korea, and it came to singapore a while ago~.anyway. so this video was done by him and his assistant n stuff. anyway. so, there was a real life model, a plasticised man, and a corpse who got injected with polymer stuff so its still all real life-ish (still soft and had like... liquid stuff). that dude DISSECTED this guy's 'reproductive organ'. basically he first cut up the scrotum, and RIPPED out the testes.. and cut that open as well and showed us the tube leading from it.. and so he cut up the body to follow the tube... and yeah.. cut summore etc etc. until he got to the penis, and cut that into half too. to show the whole tube from testis to penis... oh ya, and the life model... well he just pointed at stuff and showed to us in real life what is where and stuff. and therw as this lady who was painting on the parts that we couldnt see inside him on his body at the right places. ah. strange. anyway. so that was my bio class.
next week we'll be seeing the female reproductive organ. o btw, when he's dissecting that man.. u can HEAR it making squishy noises because of the fluids and tearing of the flesh. its nasty... oh, and we had to watch that cutting up of the testes bit 3 times cuz the dvd kept freezing. o_O
okay. enough for today.
goodbye!
sorry swati but i feel like counting down the days...
