Exam Time... Again

Hey people!

Exam is here! yay! Well not yet for me. My exam starts on the 8th November. But it scares the sheyt out of me already! Hm.. I guess I'm just procrastinating now with blogging. Just gotta let something off my chest though.

Just got my internal mark for HEAL202, and got 34.5 out of 50%. So like even if I get a full mark in the final exam, I can only reach up to A-. Not good!!

Will be in Brunei soon. 15th Feb to be exact. Gonna see my lil niece soon (who I've never met before). Mom says she's getting more clever everyday. And she said, I should study hard and do excellent on my exam, and set a good example for my niece. Well, thanks for the pressure mom! *sarcastic smile* 

And oh god, road to success is soooooo frickin hard! I feel like going up Baldwin st and just scream my lungs out with all this stress building up inside me! But as u know, I'm better off studying than wasting my time and money and not forgetting my voice to go to Baldwin St and scream.

Looking out the window, Dunedin is drizzling. Gonna make coffee soon, coz I'm freakin' out for my HEAL202!! Aaaaaahhh!!! Calm down Adibah!

Putting all the stresses aside, I got the job of Vice President for BSA next year! yay~! Which unfortunately means more hard work o.O" Oh and Rakesh Panday told me the power of believing. So now I wana say.. I believe I'll get to Medicine course next year (>.<)/!! Amin...

2nd try and it's now or nevaah!!

Why am I screaming... Aiyoo!! :S

Dad's kind enough to do a 'Doa Selamat' ceremony with my family for my exam back in Brunei. Hopefully with their prayers I will get good grades and come back next year to do Medicine. No other option! I love studying and I want to continue studying. And I just wana help people.. and maybe change the hospital management and service system in Brunei, or maybe at least be a part of the change. 

I'm not in it for name or fame.. I'm in it coz I wana help people... that and I was shocked of one of my friends story when he got admitted to the emergency dept.. with him bleeding and waiting there for hours. And my own experience too.. waiting for almost 2hr just to get my X-ray film! and what's more, I got X-rayed a week before! I mean.. if I'm dying... I would've been dead by then...

I would've understand if the X-ray film was taken on the spot and was processed for 2 hours.. but come on.. you got 1 frickin week to process it!! 

Why am I mad!! I don't know!! But it does give me flare to study harder!! and get that Med degree!! and change everything!!!!!!!!!!! >.

Frikity Frick FRICKK!! >_

So much for calming down! >3<
Haaaahh! Now that's off my chest, I got the boost to study again, hurray~! xD
I should do this more often xP

Till Next Time,

1 order of Bioc, Geo & Eng. Wud u like Germans with that?

Hey people!!
Wow, haven't been writing for a while, so.. I might get rusty xD
Anw, today I'm gonna tell you what happened last night.

Warning:  
The use of Nazi here does not mean the real Nazi in World War 2. I just use Nazi coz they are dressed like one and they talk with a German accent. They use swastika flag & they call themselves Nazi.
Cheers.
                                                                                                      

My Dream

(1st June 2011, 2.30am)

Me: *yawn* 
Better get some sleep, I'll continue studying 2moro. But first lets update my fb status xP
'Gotta sleep... Esuk g sambung. I'll see u in my dream, Biochemistry ^_^' 
As if I'm gonna see u in my dream, that'll be weird!

(go to bed & sleep. From this point on, its just a dream)

Me: Woaahh~ I'm dreaming! Cool.
Mom: What u talking about? Here! eat lunch.
So, how did your English Paper 1 exam go yesterday?
Me: It was swell ^_^ I just gotta study for my paper 2 today.
*suddenly realize something*
Me: OMG!! Paper 2 starts in 5 more mins!! Mom!! send me to school!! hurry!!
Mom: What? now? ergghh.. okay, but i cannot be late for UK okay?

(yeah, mom doesn't make sense in my dream. Why would she be late for UK? I guess that's just how dreams goes)

Mom: *put on lipstick* I'm done. I'll wait for you in the car.
Me: okay, just getting my stationeries. 
*reach for pencil*
Sheytt!! why can't i reach it?
*trying hard*
AAAAAAAAA!!!
*finally get to reach it*
fuuh.. Oh no, eraser & sharpener! neah, can't be bothered anymore.
*check timetable*
Oh no, I have Geography exam right after English!! I have to hurry!!

Mom: *honk*
Me: Okay2!! I'm on my way!!
Sheyt! come on legs!! run!! WHY CAN'T YOU RUN!!!!

(Finally gets in the car)
Sis: hey what's up? Just got home from working. Where are you guys going?
Mom: I'm sending her to her exam.
Sis: No way? English is it? how could you forgot?
Me: Aaaa!! ur making me late!! Tell me sumting, if I did really well on my paper 1, is it okay if I don't attend my paper 2? Will I still pass?
Sis: *shakes head*
Me: urrgghh well that's reassuring. Hurry Mom!!

(Please note that my sis is an English teacher xP)

Me: Aaaa!! Exam finishes in 5 more mins!!

(Boy.. my school must've been somewhere in Belait coz the exam actually last for 3 hours!)

Mom: Its okay, just go to ur Geography exam.
Me: Okay2, see you mom.

(walks to exam hall)

Me: What the...?
Nazi: Hey whats up? Come on, lets drink!
Me: Err.. why is there a bunch of Nazi here?
Nazi: Simple! We are conquering this place!
*all Nazi laughs*
Come, lets drink! For we have conquered it!

Me: Well, I'd like to stay and all but I have exams to attend, so if you don't mind..
Nazi: No! we cannot let you through, u see, we have block this pathway!! Right?
*all Nazi agreed*
Me: What? I don't wana miss my Geo exam!! I've missed my English already!!
Nooooooooooo!!!!
*drop to my knee*
Nazi: Cheer up! Here, lets drink! Nazi never like Geo anyway
*all Nazi agreed*

Me: But I don't drink. I better go home now.. My mom won't be pleased if she heard me hanging out with Nazis
Nazi: U sure? coz we got Custard Cake Pudding!

(Okay, I don't know what a Custard Cake Pudding will look like in real life, but in my dream it looks like a rectangle sponge cake with jam in between. And somehow I like it.. I dono why)

Me: Sure!!!
Nazi: Now you are one of us!! Tell us a joke!!
Me: a joke?
Nazi: Yeah! To be a true Nazi, you must know how to tell a joke!
Me: Well, I'll try... 
*thinking* come on, think of a joke! Or else they'll kill you!!
Aaaaa!! the only thing in my head is Biochemistry!!
Lets just try it!
Nazi: *chant* Joke! Joke! Joke!

Me: See.. there's this... molecule called Glucose.. right.. & he got exchanged by the muscles to Pyruvate for 2 ATP..

(at this point, the Nazi starts gigling and I thought, hey, it's not bad. But its a dream, so don't try to tell this joke in a party or sth, seriously!)

Me: .. when finding this out, he got angry at the muscles and said 'why did u exchange me for 2 ATP only? I'm worth more than that!!' 
Nazi: Then...?
Me: Then the muscle said, 'Sorry, not enough oxygen, mate!'
*all the Nazi burst out laughing & i get rewarded with their famous Custard Cake Pudding*

THE END
 
I was woken up by my alarm. That was a weird dream. In the end, I did see Biochemistry in my dream (joked about it at least). I guess this dream is a result of worrying about the exam, studying Biochemistry till late & watching too much of Hitler's parody on Youtube xP

And the joke I was telling, it was Anaerobic & Aerobic Glycolysis. Anaerobic Glycolysis produce 2 ATP & Aerobic Glycolysis (i.e with the presence of Oxygen) produce 32 ATP, both from changing Glucose to Pyruvate.

Hope you enjoyed that one ^_^

Till Next Time,
Didy Sarbini

P/S: Gonna be a long time before I'll post up stuffs again.

Crochet Night

Hello peeps!!
Behabuk sudah blog ani
*blew dust off*
*cough*
Alright!! Now we're back in business!!!
So last night we had a one on one experience sharing with the crochet club down here in my hostel. Technically, we're not in it, but we kinda join in just for a day, thanks to our Residential Assistant (RA), who insist on us being thought by his Girlfriend who is also an RA. Here's some snapshot of us trying our hardest making a hat from wool.
~Here's our RA (Jack) helping Halimah A. (left) & Farah (middle) with their hat~
Notice Jack's hat? His Girlfriend made it for him. And his is.... *drum roll*
~From Left: Rafiah, Lina & Olie (Jack's Girlfriend)~
She's so AMAZING with her crochet skills!! And she's friendly too ^^
So, both Jack and Olie taught us the basic stitches, and then let us have a go on making a hat
~Faezah : Camera mastermind~
Faezah, or a.k.a Fizzy to us, took my camera and started taking pictures... Ahahahaha, She literally made this blogpost happens!! Thanks Fizzy ^^
~That's me having a go on crochet-ing alongside Halimah L.~
SHOW OFF TIME!!!
~Fizzy's crochet~
~Halimah L. crochet~
I know, it doesn't look like a hat... yet. That's coz we haven't finish it, it takes a lot of tym to do and ryt now we're still trying to finish our hats. Mayn, crochet needs a lot of patient. But its worth while coz then we decided that we'll probably make a hat for our love ones. Do you know who I'm making this hat for? ^^
~My unfinished crochet a.k.a soon to be a hat~
Alright, Till Next Tym,
Selamat Menunaikan Ibadah Puasa~
