seasons out of time
There is no remembrance of men of old,
and even those who are yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow.

=) saw my ou xiang today!! and it's not pre-planned or anything.. so dun call me a stalker.
was having break during pbl.. me n shr were walking to the washroom to wash our hands when i saw my ou xiang walking into the atrium!!! he saw me, smiled n waved. i saw him, grinned, flapped my hands abt, and ran to him. i bet he thought i was mental..
anyway he asked me what i was doing ("having pbl").. what i've been up to recently ("nothing much.. just sitting ard with frens n talking.. the normal things girls do" "is that what girls do?").. if i've been baking ("no.. just that once") etc.
shr, in the meantime, decided to go to the washroom first. when she came back she asked him abt her courseworks.. cos her comp crashed n all her past courseworks got deleted. he told her not to worry cos she wun ever need them again. aniwae that brought us to the subject of... coursework.
he was sooo apologetic abt making us hand in our last coursework again. and he was telling us abt how he couldn't sleep at night bcos of it. (?!? it's no big deal!!! all we had to do was print it out again..) anyway he went, "did u hate me for it?" or something to tt effect cos i can't really remember now. and i said, "no." immediately and shook my head (just to emphasize the point). obviously i meant it. i mean.. it's IMPOSSIBLE to hate him.
and somehow he found it amusing i suppose.. cos he laughed n hit me lightly on the head with the papers in his hand. !!! isn't tt so affectionate? hehehe. nearly as nice as the hug. hehehe. hehehehehe. hehehehehehehe...
haiz.. so happy. anyway he was meeting this lady so i had to leave him. (shr left when i started asking him abt the changing-advisor-thing.) went to the washroom (cos that was where i was supposed to be going b4 i saw him) and was huachi-ing by myself.. when this girl in the washroom gave me a very weird look. she's probably just jealous cos i was just talking to my ou xiang.

Hi,
As you know we MUST meet sometime. The Faculty clearly state this. Could you come to meet me in the next few weeks. The following times suit me. Please email me ( or phone ) IN ADVANCE so that you will not be double booked with one of your colleagues.
Wed 1st Dec between 9.30 - 10.30am or 12.30 - 3.00pm
Mon 6th Dec between 9.30 - 11.00am or 2.00 - 5.00pm
Tues 7th Dec between 2.00 - 5.00pm
Wed 8th Dec between 9.30 - 10.30am or 12.30 - 2.00pm
Wed 15th Dec between 9.30 - 10.30am or 12.30 - 5.00pm
The Macewen Building is near the A&E Dept at the GRI.
I look forward to meeting you.
D O'R
How convenient is that... for him. the royal infirmary is like.. an hr away?? and the "meeting" will only take 5 minutes at most. why can't HE come down to the uni one day and meet all of us there? instead of making us all meet him at the GRI.. for his convenience. (ok fine.. he's a big shot doc n we're just students..)
and who's the one who wasn't there when i needed him?! i emailed him like.. 2 mths ago to ask if i could ask for his contact etc to put him down as a contact when i registered with the embassy. and he still hasn't replied btw. (obviously i didn't wait for his reply after a week). and now he's asking to meet us.
and he's my advisor of studies.. but he doesn't care does he.. if i'm ok or not. he only wants to see us bcos " the faculty clearly state this".
ok so here's the options.. tell me what i should do:
1) ignore his email the way he ignored mine.
2) email him back and tell him i'm not free to meet him. (that won't be lying cos i'll say i'm not free to meet him.. which means i can be free to do anything else.. just not meet him.)
3) email him back and ask him to change the venue. like, meet us at the uni instead. (that will sound v rude tho..)
4) email him back and choose a time to meet him (however inconvenient). and then at the meeting tell him that i emailed him but he didn't reply. so i want a change of advisor. (and u might never know.. i -might- get my ou xiang HAHAHA. that "might" is like.. 0.1% probability.. but it's better than 0%..)
5) email him back and choose a time to meet him (however inconvenient). and act like i'm absolutely delighted to see him again (for 5 minutes) after so long (on a 1hr bus ride).
so.. what do u think?

老化度19％ see.. i'm actually quite mature. take the test here. i'm sure i'm actually more mature than that tho.. cos some of the qns i don't really understand (it's in chinese.. that's why).. so i just chose the 3rd choice "兩者皆非".

(**** i have to vent this out somewhere.)
if u're going to be away for the weekend then don't hog MY book! borrow it when u're actually planning to use it.. and don't prevent ME from using MY book.
and don't say u'll return it on friday if u're not even going to be done by monday.
and shldn't u at least INFORM me tt u're still using the book instead of making me hound u down?!?!
and don't bother lying to me. i KNOW. don't tell me it's due tmr bcos YOU don't have pbl TMR.. I DO though.
and don't bl**dy gimme tt pitiful face.. it's not working. the only reason i'm putting up with ur lies n inconsideration n jian4ness is because i'm making a CONSCIOUS effort to. and it's a lot of effort believe me.
(feel much better now.. but i'm sure i'm going to regret this outburst.)

my new vs tutor is really nice. he comes with handouts he typed out himself. he always ends early (though i'm not sure this is a gd pt). he is very exam-orientated.. and gets us to get ppd out of the way early on in the yr and leaving the later part of the yr for clinical skills. he even offered to get me information for my TPE section.
everything that my ou xiang never did.
but i can't help missing my ou xiang. =(
couldn't help comparing them the whole day today. I KNOW I KNOW that he's really nice and everything.. but i CAN'T HELP IT. i miss my ou xiang so much. especially since we had clinical skills today. (and if u recall my ou xiang was positively glowing when he did clinical skills with us last yr. that didn't help at all.) AND it was musculoskeletal examination.. which was what the 3rd yrs did when i volunteered for their clinical skills thing.
and i remembered how i used to feel about vs. something i haven't felt since.. since the last time i had vs with my ou xiang. which was eons ago. i can hardly remember it anymore. but i could remember it (or a shadow of it at least) today.. when i teleported myself (just mentally.. i wish i could do tt physically tho..) back to his classes again. i remembered how much i looked forward to it.. and how i never wanted vs to end.
now i can't wait for vs to end.
.. remants of a forgotten dream.. that's all that's left now.

would it mean anything to you
if i told you how much it meant to me when you said hi
how much it meant to me when you asked me how's life
how much it meant to me when you told me i hadn't changed
and how much it meant to me when you talked as though things were the same
as though i still meant something to you
would it mean anything to you
if i told you why it meant so much to me
all the times i wanted to say hi but didn't dare
all the times i wanted to ask you how's life but couldn't
all the times i wanted to tell you to me you'll never change
and all the times i wanted to talk to you the way i used to when things were different
when i still meant something to you

when someone say "british" what do u think of? pretty little cottages (or huge sprawling mansions with parks in the estate).. cultured pple who speak properly and are gentle and elegant.. an overall sense of peace and beauty.
what a stereotype..
things have changed so much since the jane austen time. blegh. i know i shouldn't be complaining. some of the people here are really nice.. but some.. they're just so hard to love (and like) and sooo easy to dislike (though hate may be more accurate sometime). what's wrong with them?!?! go to america u barbarians..

walked past the main campus on the way to the bus stop today. it was sunset.. and the evening sun made the building look sooooo pretty. i mean i knew all along that it was pretty.. but today it looked even prettier than usual.
sometimes i wish i have classes there. but of course i have no reason to complain.. with a state-of-the-art medical school..
be good

maybe u're not that special after all. maybe you're not that different from everyone else. will that make u sad? or do u know that all along? just that u chose not to think about it..
