Horror Movies Don't Even Compare

Maybe having so many tutorials this close to the exam isn't such a good idea. I suppose it could be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you discover your areas of inadequacy and quickly make the necessary amendments. On the other, it also causes you to wonder just what else you DON'T know, dammit!

Today, for example, we were presented with a contraption none of us has ever seen before, but which is apparently "the new standard of care" in the emergency medicine circle. Diaphoretic-palpitation-inducing moment right there.

What's more, I'm starting to experience the Law of Diminishing Returns big-time. Studying is becoming a real chore, and on a few occasions, I found myself staring at the same word for a prolonged period of time, unable to force myself to proceed any further. Aargh!!!

Respite

Thank goodness for the Olympics, with its in-depth coverage of my favourite events, namely diving, gymnastics and swimming. My newest craze? None other than badminton, solely brought about by Ronald Susilo's dazzling victories ( 2 so far ). Watching him defeat his German opponent today, I realize that he's actually really really good at the game. Very focussed, with admirable precision in his drop shots. Let's hope he makes it to the finals at least. A silver medal would be a huge boost, though a gold would make him an instant legend. :)

Last Friday's episode of Nip/Tuck was probably the last of the 1st season *sob* but it packed a big punch in its hilarious ending, even allowing bad boy Christian Troy to redeem himself, albeit in a roundabout, potentially awkward manner.
Quoteworthy line?
"We're not murderers. Plastic surgeons have a bad enough reputation as it is."
( heh heh! )

Disillusion

Read Doc Shazam's post and readers' responses on The Lingual Nerve, titled What's Happening?

More disappointment will follow on this Thursday's installment of Singapore Idol, complete with angry scoldings from irate judges.

Back to my books then. Maybe I should take some beta-blockers, hmm. :/
