this is sooo cool.. found it in a forwarded email..


(1) Fine::
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes ::
If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing ::
This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead ::
This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh ::
This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay ::
This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks ::
A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome.
(I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'. that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8) Whatever ::
Is a woman's way of saying F- - - YOU!

(9) Don't worry about it, I got it ::
Another dangerous state.. this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.


so guys.. u guys better get your terminologies right okay? XD

and i'm not proud of myself..

time to get back on track..

总结＋爱的叮咛





ND108.. omg.. i luv u guys for coming!

of practicals and class tests..

it's really crazy for me these days..
let's see.. my time table is actually getting on my nerves..
classes starting at 8am.. and 4 out of 5 afternoons are filled with practicals...
Food Preparation.. Microbiology.. Nutrition Assessment..
i really don't know which is more tiring..

(a) standing for 3 hours in the ND kitchen..
belief me.. kneading the yeast bread dough for 30mins is definitely no fun at all!
but i guess it turned out ok.. so that's not exactly a bad thing afterall..
it is very energy-consuming.. but i kinda enjoyed the evaluation and tasting part.. =D

(b) looking at microbes through a microscope and having to endure the extremely strong smell of E coli..
ewww.... E coli makes me sick!! i can't stand it anymore..
and squinting at the microscope trying to describe the microbes' appearence is definitely not my favourite way to pass time..
lucky for me.. we are clear of microbiology lab sessions in the coming week.. yippie..
i don't hate microbiology.. but i seriously can't help scratching my head, confused, when the lecturer starts blabbing on the different drug and anti-biotics/anti-fungal treatment.. i mean.. it's not even supposed to be my area of expertise isn't it?

or
(c) being subject/measurer/recorder in anthropometry class..
well.. this is something i enjoy i guess.. landmarking and measuring..
but it does drain me of my energy..
and the frustration of not gettting the readings between 0.2mm for skinfold... arrrgggghhhh!
why am i feeling that i might not pass the skinfold part??
fingers crossed.. i hope i get all the landmarks, positions and readings correct for the practical exam..
anyone else volunteers to be my subject??? i still need more practice... pretty please??

feeling more and more tired these days.. and yet, i still have to force open my eyes to stay awake in lectures..
and.. i have 2 class tests coming up next week...
omg.... Principles of Food Preparation & Pathophysiology and Clinical Management of Diseases..
can i have extra 48 hours????
so many more lectures to go through... so little time left...
and again.. i have my food preparation practical report dued monday...
i guess i'd better get started on the report..
will blog about the慈青迎新茶会next.. stay tuned..
