First Week

Hello!

I've honestly been wanting to update since Wednesday, but every time I think of sitting and typing out my thoughts, I just get so laaaaazy..

(see this proves my theory about me only blogging when I'm procrastinating something else. When I have nothing to do, I procrastinate on blogging. yep)

Plus, Friends is a horribly, horribly distracting show, my goodness.
I'm done with Season 1! In 4 days ok.
That's like an average of 6 episodes a day.

And I know, for a normal person, that would add up to 3 hours spent in front of the laptop watching the show,

but you see, when I watch a show, it goes something like this :

Start watching episode.

Pause after two scenes.

Check twitter.

Check fb.

Reblog a few posts on tumblr.

Update twitter.

Continue watching episode.

Something funny happens.

Pause.

Update twitter.

Check for replies.

Check fb.

Continue watching.

Two scenes later, pause again.

Check twitter.

Check fb.

Check tumblr.

Continue watching.

*rinse repeat cycle*

It can take me up to two hours just to finish a 20-minute episode.

No lie.

My favourite character is Joey! :3

I always thought he'd be just plain dumb,

but he's not. quite.

I mean, he is a bit slow, and a total bimbo, but in such an adorable way that isn't at all annoying.

Oh Joey. (<3)

In other news,

I haven't gotten any studying done at all, nor started on my Selective/Elective reports,

but I went through some of the seniors' reports,

and judging by the amount of bullshit required to meet the 2000-word quota, I should be able to get them done within an hour or so.

:D

We had University Day yesterday,

to celebrate IMU's 20th Anniversary!
20 years of *cough*excellence*cough*.

I thought it'd be horribly boring, and we'd grumbled most of the week about having to turn up for it,

but it turned out pretty okay.

I mean, it's still unfair that it wasn't compulsory for the other disciplines besides medicine, but then again, we wouldn't have all fit anyway.

But I think it was horribly disrespectful of the juniors not to turn up in full force.

I mean, the Sem10s turned up! All the way from Batu Pahat too!
And most of us Sem9s turned up.

Why couldn't the juniors?

Gits.

We reached at 8.15ish, because we were worried about not having parking,

but thanks to the juniors not turning up, there was so much parking space on the hill.

-_-

And then they had their team building thing going on,

which involved most of the juniors and Bukit Jalil lecturers running around aimlessly (well that's what it looked like ok) on a Treasure Hunt.

We hung around for awhile, before we realized that the Seremban lecturers had escaped to have breakfast in the library,

so we went and sat next to them.

Us Seremban folk do not run around buildings.

ahem.

Went and saw the cadaver while we were at it.

(The juniors have a cadaver wtf)

To be honest, the cadaver being there seems pretty pointless, considering it's in a glass box and there's nothing labeled on it.

I don't quite see the purpose of having it there, but it's still pretty cool I suppose.

hm.

Then, after they were done with their 'Treasure Hunt' they had the official launch.

Tan Sri's speech was a bit wtf.
I didn't see the connection between anything he was saying to the whole '20th Anniversary' issue.

It sounded more like he was giving us a lecture on human evolution, to be perfectly honest.

So after his horribly boring monologue (during which Prof Ammu -organizing committee chairperson, mind you- fell asleep) they gave out awards to the lecturers.

Awards for Longest Serving Lectures, and for some Personal Development thing.

They announced Dato' Kanda's name first! (although we all knew it was coming)
And Prof Elango (he got two awards awwww :3)

It surprised me quite a bit that Dato' Siva hadn't served as long as DK and Prof Elango though.

o.O

And good lord, what on earth possessed him to wear that neon green shirt!?

Oh wait.

Before the awards were given out, they had this video thing about how IMU expanded from a campus in PJ to the campus in Bukit Jalil.

They switched off all the lights in the auditorium, obviously, so that we could all see the video clearly,

and then just before they switched the lights on again,

they released the balloons that were hanging from the ceiling,

and they dropped right on our heads!

In the dark ok.

I was like HOMAIGOD THE SKY IS FALLING!

Then they switched on the lights and we discovered that we were almost completely submerged in balloons.

-_-

That was fun though.

yesh.

Something else that happened yesterday....London Paris New York got released!

aaaaah.

I have a sad, frustrated story, regarding this though.

I'd been waiting for SO long for this movie to come out,

and this whole week, I'd been obsessively checking the websites for TGV, GSC and MBO cinemas, praying that they'd show it here,

and none of those cinemas indicated they wee going to play LPNY.

I think I spent about 3 days in depression because I really really really wanted to watch Ali on the big screen ok.

And then Thursday-ish, the reviews for the movie came out from all those movie critics,

and THEY WERE SO GOOD.

I mean, they mentioned the movie had minimal flaws here and there, but most of them ended on this note : "If for nothing else, watch for Ali Zafar, that man has got talent"

AKSJFHJFHDJFSDKLJSFKFDH.

My poor heart.

And then...

AND THENNNN,

yesterday, after getting back from Uni Day,

I decided to check the websites again,

(mostly out of habit, since I'd been doing it the whole week)

And this is what I see :

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

I swear, I just screamed out loud in my room and jumped up and down for a bit.

And then,

I click on it to see if I could make reservations for the weekend,

and then I realize they're only playing it in Capsquare.

Capsquare.

Okay.

First of all, WHERE THE HELL IS CAPSQUARE!?

ARGH.

Obviously, (after research on Google Maps) Capsquare is in bloody KAY ELL, the land of the most impossible traffic jams and minimal parking spaces,

AND,

the LRT/KTM stations are quite a distance away, and I do NOT fancy walking around in KL ok.

Not that anyone would go with me to Capsquare via public transport either.

-_-

I did consider trying to brainwash my brother into taking me,

but all shows for Saturday were fully booked (wtf am I not the only one who wants to watch this movie so badly?),

and on Sunday, there are available shows, but we're having this stupid gathering to celebrate my sis-in-laws birthday...she gets back from HK today. yay.

...so I'm just sitting and hoping and praying that they start showing it in TGV Bukit Tinggi or Pyramid by next weekend so I can go watch.

Please, God. Please.

I have no hopes of them showing it in Seremban, so.

Next weekend it is.

Or at least, let GSC show it!

PLEASE.

Or I'll cry.

I really don't want to have to wait til it comes out on DVD, and I don't want to watch it online because it'd be poor quality and they may not have subs.

sigh.

So upsetting ok.

Watched an Ali Zafar interview day before yest,

and in the middle of it he started crying.
At first I thought it was a bit wtf, because it was a rather odd reason to cry,

but after 30 seconds I caved in and started sniffling and flapping my hands in front of my face to stop myself from crying along with him.

I am such a sap.

On a completely different note from all the notes above,

first week of Surgery was rather fun.

We're awfully free because we're stuck in 3B for a whole month, and we're assigned beds, and it's not like the patient turnover in the surgical wards are very high,

so yeah.

And the lecturers are all surprisingly very nice this time.

:)
I'm not sure if they've become nicer or we're just more used to them by now.
I think it's a bit of both.

I think in Sem6 they were intimidating and hardcore because they wanted us to buck up and get used to the system,

and now they just want to fine-tune our skills.

It's nice.

Imagine bracing yourselves each day for epic doses of sarcasm, and then turning up for class and having the lecturers be nice...pleasant surprises every day!

Don't like my group, but oh well.

I've had to deal with worse people.

I mean, I don't care if you're lazy or you don't do your work or your presentations are sloppy,

but do NOT push your workload to me.

I fucking hate it when people do that.

Idiots.

Other than that, I've had a pretty good week,

hopefully next week is good,

hopefully they start playing LPNY at a cinema that I have access to. :3

I shall go back to watching Friends now.

:)
