♥ Life Is Good ♥

it's a Saturday night and there goes another week!

PBL has been a devil to me.. 4 PBLs on the 1st week = no sleep!
3 on the 2nd week, 2 on the 3rd and following weeks..
thank god for that cos it has been extremely time-consuming..

anyway, my group mates are a lovable bunch!
everyone shares their info and we have a good laugh every time..
apparently in other groups, some people have mouthful of gold!
i like my facilitator for both Dental and Medical PBLs, Dr Muneer..
he's nice and he always have interesting stuff to share with us.. =)

i had my nails done by Mae Yee and Zeng on Tuesday!

the first official farewell when the Aussie mates were still here! =)

Yinky with her chicken.. =P

we had a great time chatting.. the 6 of us!

Group II in our spanking new tunics with Dr Hanan and Dr Saad..

yesterday marked one year since Beijing Olympics 2008 started..
i started my day by waking up at around 7.15am..
we had CPR theory class to attend at 9am.. compulsory!

it was pretty fun and i like Prof Mark's accent.. lol
can't wait for the practical part for CPR..
but we have t0 first pass the theory exam.. 42/50!
that's like taking undang all over again.. haha..

anyway, exactly a year ago (yet again), Isabelle was born..
she looked exactly like me when i was a month old too..
but now, she no longer has THE look..
in fact she's prettier and less chubbier than my baby self.. hehe..
we celebrated her step into babyhood last night! =)

finally: the winners for the A1 category..

estatic Syuen cos he got the cap thrown down from the podium!
behind him are some umbrella girls.. not the best-dressed though..

it ended with a 5-miute fireworks display.. first time ever! =)

O-M-G!!! it's august already?!!

it has been a week since a whole new semester has started..
and yes, we are learning new stuff.. it was a hectic week!
i am kinda lack of sleep, only slept for like 3-6 hours per night..

i enjoyed looking at the beautiful pictures of bacteria..
we have to remember their details and identify them..
that really freaks me out.. hopefully i can do so!

oh btw, comparative dentistry was quite an interesting lecture..
although i accidentally dozed off at a few slides..
i swear that i tried staying awake..
i was listening very attentively before that happened!

and after the looong week, went to watch an awesome movie!
it was really funny and entertaining!
my first outing with Zeng, Mae Yee and Wei Hoong..

The Proposal starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds
