What I had been doing lately

It's been two weeks since the end of exams. The exam results are due to be release on 5 June. After a few weeks of studying, I pray that my hardwork will pay off.

Just finished my 1-week intensive Entrepreneurship course last Friday. Continuous 5-day of classes with 6 hours each day (3 hours in the morning, 3 hours in the afternoon, with a 2-hour break in between) reminds me of my secondary school days, except that the break is long and the whole week is devoted to one subject. During the 5 days, I was either daydreaming or distracted by my laptop (for those who are taking this course later: laptop is a MUST!) and didn't really participate in the sessions. On the third day, I decided not to bring laptop and try to focus in class, the lecturer on that day is quite joking, but this didn't prevent me from dozing off for a while in the 2nd session on that day. Seeing others are so engaging in the discussion sessions, this leaves me ponder what did I learn from this course, and I need to brush up my communication skills too. Anyway, I had to start working for my part of the business plan, which I haven't. The submission date is 20 May, so I will be going back home on the next day (YAY!!!)

Yesterday, I went to HarbourFront to donate blood. Even though it was my third donation, I still feel nervous when going through the finger-pricking and needle inserting process. While I was in the donation process, the man on the chair beside me (a first time donor) finished his donation and almost fainted. The nurses quickly pulled the chair up to divert more blood to his brain (I suppose), then a nurse remarked to me that this may be caused by not having enough sleep or not having lunch. After my donation process, I too felt very dizzy; I had never felt this sick from the past two donations. The nurses noticed and pull my chair up too. So I rested with my legs up for quite a while and a doctor came to see me too. Originally I planned to shop at Vivo City after the donation, but end up travelling back to NTU after having some refreshments. I think the incident is due to my negligence for not sleeping earlier the night before, so negligence comes into play even when one is experienced. The kind treatment the nurses, doctors and Red Cross personnel gave me reminds me of my childhood ambition of becoming a doctor. But now...

Tomorrow may be my exodus from this room that I had stay for almost 10 months, holidays inclusive. Originally, my roomie and I had discussed via MSN to move today, but he didn't come today, being exhausted from cycling. Feel lazy to pack up things and move to the next block...
