May...
Medical school screwed me upside down and inside out. Shucks... I went home after the horrible Repro exams and found out that I'm outdated in almost everything. My comics, the latest Volume is V14 and I only have V8. My games, new games are out and I had not a single knowledge of them being ever planned to be produced. That is how screwed up I am. Sucks!!!
Well, new month, new system. May is one exciting month for me this year. Lemme see... what am I looking forward to...
1. 6 - 8 May -- CF Camp
2. 11 - 13 May -- UiTM Pre-Asians Debate
3. 18 - 20 May -- Electronic Entertainment Expo
4. 20 May -- Birthday of me Blog!!!
5. 24 - 29 May -- Asians University Debate Championship
6. 31 May -- Nominees for Game Critics Award
Grace just peeped in and said "Exam..." Look up and you see the words: "what am I LOOKING FORWARD to..."!!! And exams is NOT something I'm looking forward to.
Before going into details about the above 5 subjects... let me just say something about a conversation between me and Richard 4 days before Repro exams, and the effect it had on me.
Richard: If you get A for Repro, I'll get you a PSP.
Elena: Really??? Hey wait... repro is like 4 days away. Not enuff time to catch up la.
Richard: Ok, I give you chance. A PSP if you get A for any of the systems coming up.
Elena: Yay!!! Now THAT is a reason to study. Mwahaha!!!! I can't wait for my PSP. I'll get A for CNS for you.
Richard: Haha... you get A for CNS, I will buy the games for you also. Promise.
Now there are a few things to be briefly clarified before going further.
PSP: For those people buried under drifts of books, PSP is the latest fad in the video game world. The Playstation Portable is so cool... way way better than N-gage or Gameboy.
Weight: 280g (including battery)
Main Memory: 32MB
Embeded DRAM : 4MB
Screen : 4.3 inch, 16:9 Wide screen TFT LCD
Display : 480 x 272 pixel, 16.77 million colors
Main Input/Output : IEEE 802.11b (Wi-Fi), USB 2.0 (mini-B), Memory Stick Duo™ Infrared Port, UMD Disk Drive
Price: estimated RM1500
Price of Games: RM200 per game
As you can see, PSP is so much more cooler than any other handhelds. The Gameboy DS can only display a meager 260,000 colors and resolution of 256x192 pixel (which is just so pathetic). And with such a cool console came the cool price.
Systems coming up : Now being in the ending part of my second year as Medic student, the toughest systems are all rolling down. Systems to come are Renal System, Musculoskeletal and Central Nervous System.
CNS: The toughest system ever, Central Nervous System encompasses almost everything that has to do with nerves. It has a mind-blowing curriculum that would probably kill me if I'm to delve into it. *shiver*
So now that I've clarified the three most impt things, the question now is... what has the above conversation done to me.
I've always wanted a PSP ever since it came out. But then I weighed on the fact that PS3 is coming out next year. And I would wonder izzit worth it to get a PSP as they cannot play pirated games.
But then this conversation came out and I saw my chance of owning a PSP and get a PS3 too. But the first thing that came to my mind was: Shit, if this conversation has happened earlier... like maybe in CVS or Endocrine (the 2 easiest system, hehe). But no time for regret and more time to study. Seeing that CNS and MS is going to be killers... but at least score in Renal exam which is on May 20th.
But looking at my schedule of May... it could be quite a daunting quest. May is the busiest month for me. This whole week will be taken up by CF Camp. The next of whole week there is Uitm Pre-Asians... leaving me only 1 week to study. FUCK!!!!
Richard said that is a way to get me to study. Hmm... strange way. But it indeed instill the drive to study in me. But looking from another perspective, it seemed like Richard is really looking down on me. Hrmph. I will show him. I will score. I have a history of getting whatever I wanted by hook or crook. So Richard... better start saving money. RM1800 is a huge sum indeed.
Elena: Richard, don have to belanja me la. Save money for the PSP.
Now to the highlights of the month of May briefly.
1: CF Camp -- 6-8 May
The Sem4s (us) are in charge of the camp and we planned to make it the coolest ever (at least try). It is held in Peace Haven, Genting and the fees is only RM65. The theme this year is Choices and looks really professional. Yours truly is in the committee and we've been through many hardships during the organizing. It's just so damnit tough to plan a 3 days things. So many things to take care of: Games, Music, Food, Games, Speaker... Games... (Agong, tsk tsk)
But by God's so precious grace, we made it. And everyone says Hallelujah!!! And the number of ppl going to camp, especially form M2/03 was unexpected. My fellow IMU passengers, I know all of you are going right? You better or I'll send you a curse through this blog. MWAHAHAHA!!! GO FOR THE CAMP!!!
2. UiTM Pre-Asians Debate Tournament
The training grounds for us going to AUDC. It's a three days thing, meaning no school for 3 days, YAY!!! And going to UiTM and staying there too. Heard it was a horrible place. Must see for myself.
3. Electronic Entertainment Expo
Held in Los Angelos again, this will have a post for itself. Take a look here for my last year post about the E3 last year. This year's look promising with many new games, hehe... drool drool... GAMES!!!
4. My Blog's birthday
Of course this one gets its own post. Look out for it.
5. Asian University Debating Championship
Going to be one fun week of nothing but fun while watching fellow debaters slave and slug their way through the debates. Mwahaha!!! Will definitely blog about this, if possible a day to day journal. Singapore, here I come!!!
6. Nominees of Game Critics Award
The GCA is back and another round of bettings. Hope can earn a little this year after the massive loss last year. Can't wait for it. Raymond, Teck Zee... just wait. I'll slaughter all of you guys this year. MWAHAHA!!!
So MAY... a busy month indeed. Hopefully everything will be fine. Just keep a sharp lookout for the above posts. May... the sun is shining, weather prediction says HOT HOT HOT which means more time spent indoors. Not a really bad thing anyway. Well, time to finish up my PS2 games... tmr will have to start studying. Need to score A in renal remember? Wish me luck guys... and keep me in your prayers. If I get A, I'll lend u guys my PSP for a while ok? Haha!!!
PS: Something happened today. A received a phone call bout something I posted a few posts ago. To that guy... I'm deeply truly sorry and I hope it doesn't jeopardise whatever that is going on between you and that other fella. I did not mean to do anything. It was just to put a point across... so *kowtow* I'm sorry, Sashimi. I'll pray that nothing happens.
...Sigurd... I think you need to rethink your method of disciplining...
