Life in Hostel as a Medical Student

Today I checked into my new room in the hall…u wouldn’t believe the mess the room’s in…the walls blackened with remnants of cellophane, furniture in bad shape (the wardrobe’s door looked like it was going to fall off everytime I touched it!!!) and ugh, the floor…yucks…lucky me the nice aunties were around to help me clear up my room:) no roomie yet though…heard her name’s Bei Di…must be a PRC…she better be nice…(keeping fingers crossed)… haven’t met many pple yet… hmmm…

Today I’m so darn tired… those seniors really know how to BULLY pple…screaming at us non-stop and making us do all those WEIRD stuffs!!! Didn’t know they still had such childish things in UNI!!...and worse thing is my OG is like super duper dead!!

The only plus point was meeting my roomie…at last…:) found out she wasn’t a PRC as I thought…getting on really well with her…yippee!!... Oh gosh I’m falling asleep… nites

Still having orientation…things are starting to look better…at least my OG’s starting to liven up…and we almost made a senior so mad she almost cried…haha should’ve seen her face when we grabbed her and ran away with one side of her shoe… got into big trouble with that but who cares…

Met almost everyone from the block…they’re all really nice though some are a lil weird…and they had this PONDING thing where pple get dunked continuously into the pond…good thing I didn’t “kena” yet…looks fun though…:P

Found another person doing medicine…must get to know her more so that I can borrow her NOTES and BOOKS…esp since I’ll be DOZING off in most lectures… met some seniors too… “try to join some activities in hall, study hard, dun sleep in lectures, blah blah blah…”

Spent the rest of the day hammering, sawing, painting, drilling…even sweeping the floor!!!...Dragon starting to come to life now…satisfaction…aahhhh :)

Went supper today…great way to get-together, laughed so much my cheeks hurt now…yawn, so late now…more Rag work tmrw…

Rag Day today…floats and performances were brilliant…we didn’t win anything though… everyone was really upset…disappointed…tears flowed, morale low…still we stood together…as a hall…singing our hall anthem with as much spirit as we could…today I learnt that hall spirit will live on…that we will fight back again next year…that three full months of hard work if anything definitely strengthened friendship and hall unity…

School’s starting to turn out real fun…besides the extra exercise running to school at 0820 today…I esp like dissection…except when I got back I realised I stank so bad no one wanted to be near me…

Went supper-ing again…as if I haven’t learnt my lesson…

Woke up on time today…didn’t want any Profs to catch me coming late too often…SLEPT in lecture though…didn’t know what the Prof was talking about and was too tired to comprehend anything…ZZZZZZZZZZZ

Too wide awake now…maybe I’ll go “jio” pple for supper…cheese prata…yummy…:)

Finally got my PC today…bad idea…now I’m hooked on it…24 hrs connection!!...can chat whole day long and play silly Yahoo! Games…

Can’t write much now…got to STUDY for tmrw’s CA…darn, haven’t studied at all and sleeping in lectures certainly was a bad thing!!...

It’s me again…have been trying to study for the past HOUR and can’t seem to understand anything…oh no, they are “jio-ing” pple for supper again…should I go??

Went to school, slept in lecture again and couldn’t answer any of Prof’s questions during tutorials…bad day…

Couldn’t even nap in the afternoon…had to go training…Captain’s starting to get pretty pissed with my skipping of trainings…“INTERHALL GAMES IN THREE MONTHS TIME!!!” she said…sigh…THREE MONTHS more what…so tired now I can’t move…guess I’ll have to “ta pao” supper today…

Wake up…go school…come back and change…go training/play match…come back eat dinner…too tired…sleep…

Boring life for the past 3 months…sigh…no choice…no points no hall stay next year!!! Play so many sports EVERYDAY also got training…tired lar…

Got trainings like not enough…now got meetings somemore!!...where got time to study?…

Its like 4am now…yawn…can’t sleep yet…need to finish this video clip…deadline tmrw…YAWN…cut and paste, cut and paste…attach music…ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Its now April liao…how time flies…ARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH… that means PROs like in less than ONE months time…TIME TO STUDY!!!...

Still looking for notes…don’t seem to have the complete set…die liao…I know:) time to look for my fellow medical students in hall and “zap” theirs…might as well ask for tips too…

PROs TMRW!!!...haven’t finished studying…don’t want to do VIVA…don’t want to do Supplementary Papers…sobs…

Oh but u know what? A friend just brought me a bottle of chicken essence!! So nice right? :) then another group of friends came along to PRAY for me too…maybe I’ll get through…

Sigh, going home soon for the hols…but I’LL BE BACK…thank you Sheares Hall for all the friends, fun-filled times playing sports together…tiring brainstorming sessions that still turned out enjoyable…hehe and SUPPER!!!....gonna miss you…I’m PROUD to be a Shearite :)
