Woke up extra early today to avoid the notorious Jalan Genting Klang jam so that can reach IMU earlier. Dunno why it was extra cold today. I would normally fold up my sleeves when I reach Titiwangsa Station but I left them unfolded the whole time. Even the aircon in STAR LRT was stronger than usual. (Hmmm…wonder could it be the side effects of studying too much for Natural Products?)

There weren’t many people around in the LRT since it wa still so early. For the first time this month, I slept all the way to IMU undisturbed. Being a light sleeper, I’d normally have trouble falling asleep in the train. But today, I enjoyed my sleep so much!!! Woke up at Sri Petaling Station feeling refreshed and ready to face the incoming "war" later today…

Went to the nearest PBL and hit my books. Hey man, I’m no nerd: See for yourself HOW MUCH there is to cover JUST for a CLASS TEST?

I mean, it’s totally crazy!!! Human brains only have a certain limit as to what they can absorb and remember (Yesh or Noh?) Why does IMU wanna subject us to such torture? Anyway, read as much as I could, then went up to wait outside MPH 1 for Judgement Day. Since there was still some time, did some last minute reading again. About 5 minutes to 9.15, Dr Mak came out and asked us to go in. He said "Very easy one. Don’t worry, you’ll laugh once you see the paper" and we were like "Ya, right, Easy for you to say since you’re the one in charge of that paper"

The paper was O—K (note the hesitation to connect the 2 letters together) but there some questions were utterly rubbish. For example: How many % of THC can you find in hash oil? I mean, it’s already difficult to remember the active ingredient of each plant product, what more their percentages!!! SIAO AH???

Still, it wasn’t that bad but I felt that I could’ve done better…Sigh… Anyway, Dr Kang came in like 5 minutes before our next class and read out a letter from HKL’s pharmacist, a Miss Nirmala or something; congratulating Group 1 & 2’s outsanding attitude on Monday. To them: Yahoo!!! You guys had given B105 a GOOD Name again!!! Ni Men Sze Zhui Hau De!!!

Mario’s class was rather boring and many people were only listening half-heartedly while curi-curi read for Pharm. Analysis CAL Test later (hem hem, Sadako). After that David Chong and Benny came to brief us on next week’s PSD. I wished they’d hurry since my tummy was thundering every now and then but NO… Benny kept "advising" the boys to cut their hair and said that we had obtained "very good results" for Extem. Dispensing Class Test. Whatever lar… The test was really tough and we really DIDN’T have enough time to complete the questions! I believe that all of us had really tried our best for it.

During lunch, PKZ bought us 10 lekor from the canteen and belanja us makan. Compared to the one that I and Esther ate during David’s workshop last week, today’s one was rather cold, hard and tasteless. Even the kuah wasn’t spicy and tasted more like starch or ‘Petaling Street’s kuah‘ (according to Sadako…Hahahaha) About 1 p.m. I left the gang and headed off to eLab 2 to discuss the CAL Test that we’d be having that day.

We spent about 45 minutes discussing the questions and felt rather confident that we’d be getting the 10 marks allocated for Pharm Analysis (we all damn Chuen man, keke). I wanted to type the Microbio report and do PBL but Phui Lin said the PCs got virus, so I checked my emails instead BUT the line was so SLOW and I waited ages just to load a page. Ended up chatting instead.

Dr Kang came in 5 minutes before 2.30 and I finally had my own PC to use! He told us to open a particular folder that would contain the questions and we were like shit: The questions were quite different from those that we had just discussed. Panic…Panic… Luckily I sat next to Lai Peng and near Phui Lin and Fun Fi, so we had the chance to discuss…Otherwise I think I wouldn’t be able to answer the questions!!! (no time to study lar!) Good thing Dr Kang allowed us to do so openly. I heard that Ventakesan didn’t allow the students in eLab 3 to discuss…Phew!!! I was thinking about going to eLab 3 initially…

Finished about 4 p.m. then headed to eLab 1 to do PBL but our juniors had already occupied the area, so went down to the canteen with Fay Jin, Carol and Irene to eat ice-cream instead. Chose Triple Choc ice-cream (wasn’t really that nice compared to the BlackForest one that I took few weeks agao). After that, headed home…

This happened yesterday…

I finally found my lab coat again!!! I was searching for it since Monday when I went for my hospital attachment. All I found was an ‘S’-sized lab coat inside a pink plastic bag. Initially I thought that the lab coat belonged to whoever who had taken my lab coat by mistake and I thought that he/she would return it back the same day. Then on Thursday, my lab coat was still missing and the same ‘S’-sized one was still there. I was rather pissed off for 2 reasons: ‘whoever’ who had taken it didn’t even ask me for my permission beforehand; and what if the ‘whoever’ had intended to STEAL it? This ‘S’-sized one was kinda tight and dirty with coal tar stain from last week’s Extem Dispensing… Anyway, after lab I went back to my locker, hoping that the ‘whoever’ had returned my lab coat but to my dismay, it was still missing!!!

I was rather upset but since I couldn’t do anything, so I headed off to the PBL to prepare for Nat Product (remember, this was yesterday). Halfway studying, I was trying to recall what I did last Friday before I ‘lost’ my lab coat… I was supposed to play ping-pong with Fay Jin and Kean Nam but got distracted with distributing the notes that was on the floor to our classmates who had just come out from MDL 6. That must be where I must had left my lab coat before I headed down to the ping-pong room. So I rushed up to the pigeon hole area outside MDL 5 & 6. Sure enough, my lab coat WAS STILL THERE, waiting for me to find it!!! And to think that I was so silly in waiting for ‘whoever’ to return my lab coat and in asking around the class if they ahd taken my lab coat. But now that I’ve found my lab coat, the question that still lingers in my mind is: Who’s lab coat was I wearing on Monday and Thursday? Why didn’t ‘whoever’s lab coat ask around if we had taken his/her lab coat by mistake? How come there can be an extra lab coat in our locker that belongs to no one? Ooohh… Ingat. Usahkan hidup anda diselubungi (hand gesture across TV screen) MISTERI…..
