Implosion..


Lan's head feels like it's going to go kaboom.


Could it possibly be attributed to the lack of sleep?
The excess consumption of food?
Procrastination?
Tendency to daydream?
Lack of intelligence?
Laziness?
Auto-piloting?


How perplexing.
Lan realises she could extend the list much further and consequently postpone her cramming.
No, not cool. Discipline she must find. She must retain..
Lan would like to add that she hopes it'd be rather like the irreversibility of a covalent bond. Let's say that Lan's afore mentioned possibilities are like highly reactive, nucleophilic serine residues that need to be inhibited asap. By phosphorylation perhaps? Nahh something irreversible. What Lan desperately needs is something that mirrors the mechanism in which organophosphates effectively inhibit acetylcholine esterase..or at least somewhat akin to it.
Wtfish, that is last semester's biochem. Lan must drag herself back to the present and flush all that rubbish out.

Back to cramming this semester's biochem it is then.

Hi Lan, hope study is going well. Don't worry I've come to a conclusion about studying - It never ends o__O. So we have to get used to it. Anyway, you're an efficient crammer =) soo I know you'll cope very well. SIGH, if you'd like to play Mr. Squiggle with me I'd be very happy =)
(as you can see, study has made me regress LOL)

Nida's Crappest Day of 2008
Nida feels today should be crowned as officially the worst day in 2008. Nida has used the word 'suck' so much that it has lost all meaning. In chronological order of events that sucked.
#1: Nida was not rostered on to work today. She woke up pleasantly at 9:00 and was watching XMen I while enjoying breakfast when her phone rang. It was work asking nida come in ASAP. Nida arrives at work, "ASAP", only to find sheer hell. It seems that it has dawned on the local residents that Christmas is approaching. Nida is 'asked' to go on express due to the ineptitude of other workers. Nida forsees that this shift will not be pleasant.
#2: After working at breakneck speed for close to 3 hours, Nida comes across Mrs X. Mrs X buys some items which total to $135. She gives Nida $150 in the form of three $50 notes. She finishes her purchases and leaves. 4 customers later, Mrs X returns to tell Nida that she has been shortchanged and that Nida had said the total of her purchases was $185 and thus Mrs X had given Nida 4 $50 notes. Nida would like to mention at this point that she did not remember in the slightest how many notes she had received, and proceeded to tell Mrs X that Nida would be happy to do a Snap Check (this is where one counts the money in their till and the register compares this to the total of the items scanned. Should one overcharge customers, the till would have a higher balance etc). Nida's till balances with the amount on her Register. Nida's supervisor than also does a snap check. Same result. Nida's Manager then comes and does a third snap check, with the same result. Mrs X did not give Nida extra money. At this point Nida would like to point out she was the ONLY operator on express and hence this snap checking business made lines even longer. Mrs X then proceeded to insist that "She (nida) even SAID i have her 4 $50 notes". Nida did no such thing.
#3: After 3.5 hours of nida's shift, nida gets a 15 minute break. She heads to the nearest Caffeine stand and sits. She comes back after 14 minutes only to have the new supervisor, D, ask "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN. YOUR BREAK WAS 15 MINUTES. it has been 45 minutes!'. Nida explains that unless she was stuck in a time lag black hole, this is not the case, she only JUST went. Supervisor insists that it has been 45 minutes. Nida sees white hot flash of rage build up. Nida waited 3.5 hours to get a break despite the legal requirement being 2 hours and the thanks Nida gets is this outrageous accusation? Nida is stunned that people can be such simpletons and are yet to master the skill of Time Telling.
#4: Four squealing, twitching, giggling, hair flicking girls came to Nida's register today. They were purchasing "twilight" calendars. The Gigglers proceed to tell nida what is so great about the series, including the fourth book, which in Nida's opinion was "literary suicide" for one Ms Stephanie Meyers. The Gigglers insist that this book was 'like the best!' and Nida has a sudden realization that she is as pathetic as this pre-teen-hyped on oestrogen-age group that she so loathes as she too liked Twilight, albeit loosing interest after the abomination that was the Fourth book.
#5: There was a resurfacing of the dreaded Enid, Nelly, Tabitha and Janus yesterday night and nida has been unable to get them out of her head all day. Nida will discuss this further at a later stage.
#6: Nida went jogging to vent some frustration only to see three dogs that were roughly the height of Nida's shoulders unleashed, heading straight towards her. Nida promptly ended notions of 'jogging' and went home.

And thus ended nida's suckiest day only to have an argument with her dad, which really, just tops the day off even more.

over and out.
