i've made some new friends 2dae. BOOKS!!finally gotten down to buying my med textS. spent 308 bucks on the 8 of them. phew, so tired luggin the back home. can't imagine dragging them over to uk. still waiting another bk. kumar & clark. new edition's coming out at the end of the yr. ironically, the bk comes frm uk. i'll have to wait for it to come frm the uk, get it here and ship it over back to the uk. reason being it's cheaper here! =) same for all the other bks. if it costs say 50 bucks here, it'll cost 50pounds there. hurhur. 3 times more ex. but it's gd experience shopping for bks. just take. no need to look at the price. half the books i think don't have price tags on em. how i wish shopping for all other stuff's like that too. =p
stuff i got:
1) Martini (it's not a drink but some guy's name) for anatomy & physiology
2) Moore (anat)
3) Biochem bk
4) Pharmacology at a glance
5) Basic Histology (yeah... my nightmare. remember peering thru those microscopes? it's back to haunt me now!!)
6) Basic Histology (this one has coloured pics)
7) Basic Immunology
8) Harrisons (for internal med)
and last but not least my lab coat!! heee.
anw harrisons' a bargain. cos the new edition came in so the old one i got's on sale. it's just $29. new edition costs $129! haha..gd bargain eh. one of the histo bks just cost me $1 too!! hee.. anw the biochem bk i got was the last copy too. think all the bks are realli running out of stock. duno how those pple are gg to get the bks nxt wk during the outing. the aunty at the shop's sooo nice and pro sia. just name her your uni and yr and she'll recommend you the stuff u need. damn pro. serious. she knows her stuff.
i must be really gd friends wif this bunch of bks. yep!
( and i paid for my own bks (= )

everyone's busy. i'm not. this sucks. a lot.it's tiring to get pple out. they just seem to be so busy with their "new" lives they can't be bothered with their "old" lives. maybe it's just me cos i have so smuch free time. i dread making new friends. why? because when you no longer have common time( ie school), which forcers you to be together, pple just drift apart. and it happenes even when you try not to let it happen. maybe it's just me.
i just feel so left out of everything. friends talking bout orientation, classes, etc. no more fresh common topic left to talk about. and after school starts, i'll be half way round the earth. and with the lagging time, it just makes everything worse. i wonder what's going to happen 5 years down the road. or actually just less than a yr. when i come back next summer, i'll just feel like a stranger. how 'bout 5 years later? i don't want to think about it.
all the i-will-miss-you and tell-me-when-you-come-back thing just dosent cut it. i mean i don't feel any sinceirity or wat. it's always me bugging pple online. friends don't meet just once a year and lose all communications between that. you don't only talk when u want to set a time & date for meeting. you get what i mean? maybe not.
i am friendless.

2 gatherings straight. i'm so tired now.yest was the student society gathering. all's well. i seem to only remember the names of the freshies. the snrs seem to have similar names or smth. other than the 2 i remembered since the british council thingie, and mayb 1 or 2 more i don't remember the rest. =s so sry.
glad that the 3 medics gg over seems to all stay at tis part of e island and i get to take a lift cos they bothe drive. *grins*
now i know all the freshies that turned up yest. think there are more but they juz didn't turn up. everyone's not staying at the same place as me.. booo. ah well, at least we'll be quite near each other( if i remembered correctly). i think my memory is failing me. but was quite tired cos i was out wif kalp b4 that. got the cook book that britich council forgot to give me n kalp n we were both soo blur to onli realise it after we left the place. another thing is i can't slp yest although i was so tired!! i duno why but the stupid cny song was stuck in my head.. gong xi gong xi gong xi ni ah... bleah!!
had gathering at my aunt's place 2dae. nice.
my cousins and me...
well, the little kid was the center of attraction(as usual). haa. we all think that kids are "toys" for the adults. poor boy gets "disturbed" by the adults. we were all once "toys". some theory me n my cuz came up wif while we were at some corner stonning cos the tv was overtaken by the erhm older pple watching i-dunno-wat.
