Tests!

wow i haven't been here for a long time... i had a my biology practical test today... it was a written test on cell organelles, mitosis and meiosis - lots of electronmicrographs to identify and label!!! the worse part is... i remember seeing all of them when i was preparing my report (we had to draw all of them...my report was 35 pages of biological drawings... and the lecturer wrote "very nice!" on the last page of my report!) but i just can't quite remember what i wrote/labelled the drawings!!! so i think that's a definite disaster... need to buck up on the next test this tuesday... this time it's fungi, algae and bacteria

ooh... i haven't elaborated on my lecturers (i think)... let me start with biology practical... since it's the most interesting subject... the first lecturer was dr. saharuddin... he looks really young... as in like late 20's to early 30's! anyway he's very cute because he goes around talking to the students and he tries to speak english well but somehow there's always this malay accent lingering behind... but he's lenient to us... luckily!!! the second lecturer is dr. lee... he's also quite young... about 30 plus?! (pretty puzzling to see our lecturers looking not very much older than us!)... he looks quite square and always wears checkered shirts... but he let us compile our 3 reports to hand in next thursday... giving us quite alot of time to do it... oh yea, thanks to him now i know how a zooplankton looks like! our tutor is ms. lau... she a masters student...she's very cute too n some students even talk to her about personal stuff like not settling in properly etc... my biostatistics lecturer is quite nice... she's getting her phd this tuesday during the convocation... i think she's 30 something... although she lectures slower than the other biostats lecturer but she always tells us stories... hehehe... she's also the 2nd lecturer for proses kehidupan (btw last week, the ministry has given out orders for universities to conduct science and maths lectures in english!!! hurrah!!!) my 1st proses kehidupan lecturer was very boring! i know this may sound very nasty but she was like a dead piece of driftwood! my biological organisms lecturer is prof. pang siew moi... she has a lab in the post graduate department (i think)... she reminds me of mrs. tan; but maybe a less animated version?!? it's pretty obvious that she's quite passionate about her field... she told us about mycologists interpretation of certain biblical events... like manna was actually fungi and the sea turned to blood was actually red tide... the other day, i found a microbiology book in the library which has this info... my 'pengenalan kepada kajian sains dan teknologi' lecturer is mr. ng... he's also cute in a little boy way... and i suspect he can't verbally read english well... our tutor is cik wardah... she's really outspoken and a no-nonsense person... but very likeable... my "TITAS" lecturer is also quite young... i dont know her name... she's ok... but she just reads out the power point slides or from the text book... finally my geology class - "bumi dan manusia" lecturer... hmm... prof muhamad ali hassan... he's grouchy at times but i have a feeling he's also quite passionate about his field...

have i elaborated about my new found friends? there's li sum; she's from sri petaling and previously a V.I form-sixer... she's very "chun" and stylish... we have almost identicle timetables ... only 2 different classes... so we hang out and walk together everyday... and there's mei lin from putra heights who's an ex-assuntarian and BB form-sixer... she's really funny, bubbly and giggly... all three of us usually hang around together... there's also a couple of mei lin's friends like emily, jun nee (spelling?) etc and choir friends like goay imm (my cc family member), pei chuen, angeline, yuet mei, ei ling, ain etc. and my geology group friends like yuan lim, siang ling etc. i met some people the other day at the 1st aiesec meeting but i can't remember their names or even their faces! btw, aiesec sounds really interesting but i hope i won't chicken out before anything gets started... i'm planning to go for their leadership camp xcapade... it's on the 28th of august 2005...

i went to seemom's kindergarten concert at 5 p.m. just now... it was quite good for kiddies standard... but biggest disappointment was the sound guy (who turned out to be ms. toh's bf) cut our song short (red class) and it was right at the climax!!! we've been yelling our lungs out training the blurrrrrr kids to do the letter R-E-D formation using pompoms for the past few months and that crucial part was cut out!!! we were so mad!!! i told LK "what kind of a lousy sound engineer is this?" when it happened... imagine all our effort wasted... i really don't know what to think... can you imagine we made 20 crepe pompoms just for this formation and now its gone to the dumps!!! i was so pissing mad!!! i still am!!! it's really unfair... i really thought they'd give the kids a 2nd chance... i meanit's not their fault or ours... it's the technical guy's fault; in fact the whole blame should be on him... well WHATEVER!?! looks like its just not worth it to put up a spectacular performance next year then...

i went shopping in 1u on friday night... bought alot of stuff... a pair of shoes, an umbrella, a bag and 2 shoelaces... i think i spent about rm130+... i'm broke yet again... i want a laptop... but i don't know where to get one and which one's good... plus there's the issue of finance... lots of family negotiation will be in the works... ok i think i better sleep now... going to be drowsy tomorrow...
