In-Grown Hairs are a Pain

In-Grown Hairs are a Pain

yes they are. after all that shaving here and there, i've got numerous infected hair folicles (unclean razors be damned) as well as ingrown hairs to pull out. gahz. thankfully i'm not indian (or hairy. oh what's the difference anyway?) i'm into my fourth week at IMU already. i'm beginning to feel quite at home already in this environment. it's not really a university. it's more of a place we to go attend lectures and then socialise afterwards. haha...

you all remember devaki? she's in the same intake as i am. hahaha...already she's carved a niche out among our peers as the only medical student in our batch with eating disorders. (BMI:14)

we're having our bi-annual (erm, does this mean every six months? coz that's what i'm trying to say) IMU Cup, pitching intake against each other. i signed up for the road relay run, which is a 2.2 km run, not really thinking that i would make it into the team, and i didn't, but i dragged lippie into it too. poor thing. tomorrow, she has intensive training scheduled. hahaha...i'm running with them anyway. (yes i know, i'm a little crazy) but it's shiok la. haha.

oh, by the way, i got my car baaaaack!!! yess.... they resprayed it and took off the word 'sephia' from the back of the car to respray it. it's now sitting on the rear dashboard. i was tempted to spell out things like 'his ape' or 'phase 1' (using the 'i' as the '1')... but you all got any suggestions?

another piece of news: i'm trying on contact lenses. i'm sick and tired of glasses. getting foggy drinking hot soup, getting oily at the slightest mis-touch, getting dirty and attracting little particles of dirt for no apparent reason, and there's that irritating sliding-down-your-nosebridge habit of his. so yeah. i think i'm a little retarded in the left eye. i can't seem to put it on propperly. i have no problems with the right. go figure.

anyway, time for sleep already my friends!!! or rather splinter cell chaos theory. hahaha....luv you all lots!!

and CHEE HAU!!! what did you do with the imcc blog address!!!! aaaaaaaahhhh!!!

IMU

IMU

wow! i've been away from the blogsphere for a long long long time...! haven't i? well...let me tell you all, lots and lots of things have happened here in this corner of the world.

i've finally got a car of my own! yesss...it's a six year old kia sephia, which is currently in the workshop now. haha...that's another story. another time. the acceleration is not something i'm really proud of, neither am i of the airconditioning, but well, it's like my own private space on four wheels. it's really liberating. a car owner has freedom to sing his heart out tunefully or tunelessly, zooming down the roads, or just cruising away in the slow lanes.

unfortunately for me my car if out of action for the time being. gahz. it's in the workshop getting the body knocked out and the paint redone after some idiot hit me from the side. oh well...

the orientation in IMU was quite an experience! wow. it's was disgusting and really really dirty(think butter in your ears, flour all over the hair, and eggs cracked down the pants...) but it was really fun. i promised myself that i would skip orientation to avoid the IMCC tag, avoid the ragging and well, basically start school of as a normal student larh. but well, i attended every single day, took all the ragging and became the IMCC! gosh.

i had to frolic around on stage wearing nothing but panties (3 pairs) and bras. hahaha... hard to imagine?? haha... same here la. i have a hard time coming to grips with the reality that i really did that. all my shaven legs and arms will be with me for some time though...

well... so far, so good. imu is quite the fun place to be. the people are nice, the friends are cool, and the timetable is really slack ( for the time being larh)...

so anyway, i'm in the computer lab now doing my research for the PBL cases that we got last week. i have to present something tomorrow, so, chop-chop! gotta work on it!! bye guys....!!!
