Had a really busy day today. Started Monday morning with the usual Monday blues, was half asleep during Anatomy class, and at 9a.m. rushed to Physiology lab. Spent 2 hours looking at slides on blood smears trying to identify leucocytes (aka white blood cells). Found a lot of neutrophils, lymphocytes and some monocytes, but failed to find any basophils.
Until I played around with the microscope, turning left and right, up and down, and found a round, pinkish cell. I thought it was an eosinophil, but when the lab assistant came and said it was a BASOPHIL. Imagine our surprise! Since basophils are the
least WBC in your blood, consisting of 0-1% ONLY, it was miraculous to find even one. So we were the lucky ones.
SCREW FACEBOOK FOR SAYING I WAS ONLY 6% LUCKY TODAY.
Then after lab we went straight to cafe where we were suppose to wait to present our ESAP (English for Specific Academic Purposes) forum. I had actually called and booked the teacher at 12p.m., but when we arrived at 11.30a.m. he was already there, so we just went head-in and presented. Thank God it was okay. Hu~~ =)
After that went for lunch and Physiology class as usual. However the big bomb came after class. We had Moral Studies from 4p.m. to 7p.m., and today was our turn to do our presentation. The slides had been completed, but still needed to be compiled into one. That's when one of my friends came up and said to me, "Hey, we need to pass up a 10-page book report to the teacher. TODAY."
Screw that! How are we suppose to puke out a 10-page report in 30 minutes? Anyhow we just decided to use whatever LIMITED information we have, copy and paste, edit the font and font size, then print out and hand it in. Anyhow I did manage to cough up a 10-page book report in 30 minutes. It simply proves that WHEN THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY. =)
Entered class late, did our presentation which lasted ONLY about 10 minutes, then escaped class with the excuse that we were attending a committee meeting. Clever huh? XD The worst part was that before we left, we handed the book report to her only to get the answer, "Oh, you pass up tomorrow lah, I lazy want to collect now."
WTF?! SCREW YOU!! ..i..
However, the best part about today was during lunch hour when I got a call from an unknown number. Thinking it's probably someone dialing the wrong number
again, I answered the call only to get this introduction, "Hello? Penny ar? This is Jia En ar, your NS friend. Still remember me or not?"
I was speechless for 2 seconds. NS friend?! I hadn't contacted any single one of them since last year! OMG it's been almost 2 years! How quickly does time flies, huh? I was so happy to hear from her till the extend my friend got shocked at my expression. Feeling rather embarassed as I was at the cafe with so many people around me, I told her I'll call back later. And I did. And we talked for another half an hour before she had to leave for work.
Felt lucky today =). But seeing both of them together again made my mood drop instantly from 100% to 1%. I guess I'm really in too deep this time.
As 98 Degrees sing in their song "Why Are We Still Friends":
And tell me why
Everytime I find
Someone that I like
We always end up just being friends....
