Aching.. 9:13 AM
Ahhh. It's thursday already. So fast. 11 more days to school starts. I bet that it's gonna be a really busy semster ahead of us. The thought of being in year 3 already scares me.
I can't get to sleep still !! Argh ! This is lame. What I am experiencing is totally defying common sense. I'm like so tired. But I still wake up at 8+ in the morning. Zzzz. My whole body is aching as well, probably too much of shooting baskets at the arcade. >_>
Talking about the arcade, I made a promise to myself that I'll practice and get better at the basketball machine until I can get 700++. But ah. Through out the holiadys, I probably only achieved that once. The rest of the times are like. 643, 672, 688. $%^&^%^&*^%$.
Met some of my relatives recently.. and had a few incidents that proved to me that being in a science course is not good. Not good at all... It was like this. I saw my uncle and auntie.. After greeting them, they started on the usual nonsense.
Uncle&Auntie: "Eh Xiangjie! How is school?"
XJ: "Erm.. Now holidays. When school starts, I'll be in year 3."
Uncle&Auntie: " Whoa! Very fast hor. Last time still hear you take O level results only."
XJ: "Erm. Ya.. Very fast."
Uncle&Auntie: "You're in science course right?"
XJ: "Yes."
Uncle&Auntie: "What you all learn ah?"
XJ: " -.-''.. You all sure you wanna know?"
Uncle&Auntie: "Yeah Yeah."
XJ: "We study how drugs react to our body and how our body react to drugs. We have receptors on our cells and the drugs would bind to the receptors and induce...."
Uncle&Auntie: "EH? Why you talk until so chim! What receptor receptor? Don't go so chim leh!"
XJ: "This is the basis of everything. If this part also die. Paper sure fail le. >_>!"
Uncle&Auntie: "Crazy. Say until so much."
XJ: "Eh. Wth. You people are the ones asking me to tell you what i've been learning. Tsktsk."
*Uncle walks to me alone*
Uncle: "Hey Xiangjie. I ask you ah.. Why do drugs give side effects if it's used to treatment?"
XJ: "..................... You sure you want to know? Don't later scold me again."
Uncle: " Won't lah."
XJ: " Alright. As I said earlier, the receptors on the cells.. There are many many types. Some drugs are not specific to one type of receptor. So it binds to others as well. This would produce other effects and these effects are your side effects."
Uncle: "Ohhhh.. I see.. So smart. Next time be doctor already lah?"
XJ: "Zzzzz. Omg.."
Totally crazy luh. Ask me stuff.. Like I'm a genius like that. This is what the bad impression of science course give. To most people.
Being in science course = Smart, Hardworking, Geek.
Maybe some yes lah. But to me. It's a definite no-no. Hahaha.
