oscar's back and school begins.

great news! Oscar's finally back on monday.
it's great to see him back at home.
he was like so happy to be home. i remembered when i entered my house, straight away i heard his barks...downstairs! then i knew he was finally coming back, so i left the door open.
he entered the house and started running about and barking to show that he's happy to be back home.
not having him at home may be kind of a saddening thing for me.
but to him, it's a stressful thing, because for that entire weekend, he had to adapt to the vet's environment right on the spot.
right now, he got lots of pills to eat. orange, pink, red and white.
he hates eating pills and if you try to force him to eat by opening his mouth and putting the pill in, he may SNAP your finger.
so my mum came up with a brilliant idea which would trick him. stuffing the pills inside watermelon chunks! we tried it, and it worked.
anyway, right now...his skin condition is getting better. and i hope it improves alot more.

anyway, a new semester has begun. level 2.1.
so far so good i guess.
aquaculture & immunology are so interesting! so looking forward to future practicals because we're gonna deal with both fish and mice.
MMB is not bad, but dr new's teaching is so hypnotic...it almost put me to sleep during the 2nd half of his lecture.
CCTA is alright, but i'm still kinda blur about some stuffs.
eg. what are cell lines?
guess i've got to read up more...
bioinfomatics is such a boring and dry module, i totally didn't understand what rekha was teaching on the 1st lecture.
so far, all the lecturers i've met are nice and friendly.

went for this charity training that was held yesterday by this organisation called CARE.
it's to help youths that are at risk...
this saturday, there's gonna be this event where we will try to help students( mostly from Normal Technical stream ) that not only academically weak, but also at risk, eg. drugs, gangs, smoking, depression, behaviour problem, basically matters that would really affect the youth and that most youths in singapore are so lucky to not experience such things.
the trainer has 'trained' those who were at the lecture hall about what is expected from us and also how we should act if problems arise.
i hope this saturday, i would be ready and like kinda make the student that i'm gonna be paired up with, be inspired to succeed in life, and prove to others that he/she is really something not to be looked down at.
but on the other hand, i'm kinda scared.
the best thing to do, is to be myself on that day.
i really learnt quite alot from that training. every youth will be at risk at some point in their lives. and it's how they cope with it, but at the same time, it's up to the parents, school, even the public/community to help them in any ways they can.
and i missed dance practise because of the training. i must really stop missing dance practise, it's gonna be bad for me.
and it's really high time to train my fundamentals. there are still stuffs that i can't do properly while my other friends can. i must really practise and do it well! what xl told me today was so correct, "you can't avoid the things that you hate to do, you just got to face it and do it."
something like that.

i want to make it workkk...
