february has been an eventful month. and considering its only the start of the year, there've been so many birthday parties going on. so many people celebrating their 21st.
plus there was cny. pineapple tarts are my downfall in healthy eating. whyyy are they sooo nice? first time i got to try pineapple tarts made with home-made pineapple filling straight from the pineapple! courtesy of meifen's mom who is like, an amaazing cook. rocks.
there're also many exams to study for, all of which i am still not prepared for..and the first exam's on wednesday! i do want to do well. -.- and then there's climbing. thank goodness for climbing, i dont know how i'd survive without this extra commitment in my life. it really gives me something to look forward to..but i'm beginning to find that my perceived balance between climbing and studying may actually be kinda lopsided. intended to stay til about 12plus/1 at tj today cos i vigorously needed to mug but.. i let myself stay on and ended up home only around 4plus. TERRIBLE! but tj was quite fun. and i had a nice sweet fleshy coconut during lunch. happiness!!
i dont want to feel desperate on tuesday wednesday and thursday night! pre-exam syndrome. pray. (and study.)
back to neuro i go!

neuro neuro
you make me want to burrow (not, as in burial)
deep into the ground (not, as in worms)
where i can never be found (NOT, as in dead)
and can forever be round. (NOT. hopes of being lean and mean?? :((((( )

ok sad attempt at poetry. kbye. mug hard guys, happy cny dear friends, and to those with no exams, enjoy the remainder of the hols. play hard pls. and make sure i join ya'll sometimes.

so i'm happy, generally.
genetics CA was so-so, very tricksey, but well, we'll see. at least it didnt feel like a bacteria-recurrence. climbing this week was good, but felt kinda burnt out by the time today's training came. somehow felt like i hadnt recovered well from thursday's training.. routes at climbasia are always sooper hard lehh, maybe just not used to the tiles compared to nus. at least you know a lot more about the tiles in the nus gym. haha okay no, i think the main thing's that.. i dont have the climbing standard for those routes...... will be inspired to train harder! problems though, muscles growing :/ and arms looking bulkier. ackkergghh. lean is the aim! also got this pain in my shoulder joint. worried it's going to play out to be an injury but i'm trying to take care of it. may the team be injury free from now on! it's really painful to see people injuring themselves and suffering from things like swelling fingerjoints, cos, its such a waste really..sadness.
we need health to balance fitness.
need to start getting into the mugging mood again, should have just been more motivated this morning and packed my bag for marine parade lib like last week, since all i did when i came home was.. nap and watch a dvd (11:14 - quite a sick show if you ask me. interesting, but demented, a bit. quite good though, and its short), then more tv, then eat. and eat some more.
my eating healthy plan.........................needs some tweaking, i'll admit. going to readjust the plan since i tend to have like.. cravings that require attention asap. need to work on the psychological aspect..friends..
so anw, going for a pub exhibition tmr(!) with bano and lydia. water sports or sth at the asian civilisation museum(!!). i have no idea what to expect. then..it's grandma's for lunch (yay home cooked food! i like) and will drop by kamya's house in the afternoon. shall try and get some studying done tmr! maybe start the pharm-ing.
brother is flying off on monday! will tryy to give him the opportunity to take the car out more often before he goes. and tolerate the BOOMBANG!yessir!rightawaysir! of dota at 3am in the morning.
also..watched babel, interesting concept of a show, great acting but.. wasn't completely satisfied somehow. expected it to be more..intricately played out, with better connections. oh well, anw i really wanna watch pursuit of happiness! will smith and his son!!! why is singapore so slow?

OMG haha. 3 weeks til major CAs. less than a week til genetics CA.
okay guyss. time to hit the books. after another afternoon of mugging at central lib, i officially declare mugging season open!
millions of neuro chapters here i come! (sidenote: today i saw someone in central lib who has the same hair as me :( seriously. took a poll, and everyone agreed that it was quite similar. SADNESS. i thought i was special! haha)
anw today's climbing training was quite eventful, glad khad's better now.. argh. the importance of knowing your medicine well.
feel quite inadequate sometimes when i try to remember my anatomy from year1 and things escape my memory, more often than it should! but its always incidents like this that probe into the deep recesses of your mind and you rediscover that desire to master and conquer and be good at what you do.
come on! work hard nita. and climb hard. and Eat Well. must learn to estimate calorie intake better so i wont be accused of whacking and randomly assigning calories to food to suit my healthy diet haha. for a BMI of 18.5 my ideal weight is 46.5 kg. holy magoly i havent been that light since sec one maybe. :P
AND sidenote, i discovered hot bean curd in engineering canteen, and it comes with peanut rice balls. heehee. happiness. now i know where to go when cravings hit and ghim moh ahballing is too far away.
