so. at least there's a breather now in between the papers... really quite scary, heard tt some of my friends didn't sleep for more than 5 hours in the past 2 days. aiyoh. how can?!?!? surely cannot concentrate in the exam hall one...

well, some pple i know have slept only 5hrs in total for the past 2 days. presumably, they were mugging during the time sacrificed up for the noble sake of gaining-more-knowledge, aka desperate mugging. well, it might prove otherwise for pple like ME. who somehow cannot bring my self down to revising anatomy ONE MORE TIME before the paper the next day. i astound myself as to how i might have even thought of attempting to start and finish revising the ENTIRE anatomy syllabus (tt was taught i 1 yr, mind u) within the periods of NINEpm to TWELVEam.

i've got to say, 5hrs is really not alot of sleep. insufficient i might say. come to think of it, i think i know pple from both ends of the spectrum where one would think 5hrs is a horrible injustice to snells whilst the others would deem it a divine miracle to have actually survived on tt sort of sleep pattern.

anyway. i just knew tt something was not right when i found i was left with head&neck/abdomen/histology/embryology/throaxII at 11pm.

haiyoh.

blame it on the heavy lunch, hot weather, the nice channel-u programmes, fear factor, gun-bound and wcIII, and above all, pure fatigue resulting in an unbelievable inability to get what i'm reading into my head despite staring at the same paragraph for a good 30mins.

well... as u would have cleverly infered from the passage above, the paper today didn't go too excellently for me. no qualms whatsoever, and i'm still hoping for the best. :)

got sort of stuck at the relations of the esophagus part and when i found tt i was starting to write incoherently in a disturbingly disordered fashion, i just had to redo the entire part. and the other qns played a factor in delaying my progress resulting in a valient attempt to finish the last 2 qns in 15 min was the nasopharynx one.

i read nasal cavity.

and thus went on an elaborate repetoire on the wonders of holes in the noses lining epithelium and nervous innervation and de-blah-de-blah-de-blah...

and did i mention tt i *think* i really felt like walking out when i realised it was pharynx instead of cavity? honestly, who wouldn't?!?!?!? esp when there was barely x-mins left, and u are writing until your hands are SO weak and when u held ur correction tape dispenser up there was zilch strength left in ur opponens pollicis to maneuveur the contraption over the paper?!?!?!??!??!?!?!

it was so bad tt i thought i fractured my 1st metacarpal.

omg. i just put my palms together only and found tt my right thumb is 0.5 inches longer than my left!

(and i'm actually very amused at this point, not depressed or what. in fact, i can't stop smiling (amused type) when i think of my thumb now.)

*yawn*

the wonders of fatigue. i shall return to blog later when i awake. should have slept just now BUT NO... i went to play wcIII and i'm dead beat now.

oh yes, before i forget, i cut my hair this afternoon and when i look into the mirror now, it is strangely reminiscent of the times on an island on the north-eastern side singapore.

HAIYOH.
