Deja Vu

I was very embarrassed yesterday, for I fainted during lab lesson. Yah I know, this is something we can't control, but still, it was so awkward when I returned to class later and continued my lab. It was only the 1st lab and I think I scared my partner off. LOL. Anyway, I felt that studying in Uni is just like returning back to secondary school: failing subjects, can't make out what the teachers were teaching, self study also like half bucket, friends were all smarter than me, I'm the worst of the worst etc... :( As if it wasn't coincidental enough, the last time I fainted was in secondary school, and during a lab too!!!! Oh man, this is freaky... It is just like a repeat cycle of my secondary school life.

As for the reason why I fainted, could be because breakfast wasn't enough (only 2 oreo biscuits) , then when we were told to crowd around the table to see demo, plus the bad air circulation, I suddenly felt nauseous, dizzy, everything was spinning and I kept yawning to gasp for oxygen, then my whole body just went limp. I flopped on the bench, and before I could hold myself, I blacked out and thumped on the table. But I thought I still heard my prof speaking some lab details, before she came to ask me how am I. Wah, I must say I was quite impressed with myself that I was still conscious and told her I need some fresh air that's all... Where got people faint and yet still tell people what to do de har? Anyway, when she and another guy helped me out of the lab, They put me near the wall railing (and luckily I did not lean over the railing if not you won't be reading this entry), and both went back to the lab to get a chair for me... My body was still weak and I just limp on the floor. When they came back with a chair, they just to pull me onto it, but I was just so weak that I could not get up. And that guy who helped the prof was saying how my face did not have any blood colour, which I thought he meant I looked pale. After a few minutes, I felt better and went to washroom to wash my face, I thought I was seeing things: my face was green.. YIKES! I am so greeny these few days.... LOL.

Anyway, later in the evening, I was able to go shopping with my "twin", so I think I had fainted could be due to busy with the IH, did not get enough sleep for a few days, plus on thurs I had went to sleep on an empty stomach (had early dinner and by the time I went to sleep at 2.30am, stomach was growling and I did not eat my biscuits which I had intended to), that's why I was weak. I'm not kind to faint easily. Anyway, Twin scolded me for not taking care of myself.... :P So touched...

When I was relating the story to Jia, she asked if anyone asked about me. I replied only my lab partner and prof asked. Then she exclaimed, "Aiyer, how come other people never bother one?" I told her a very unrelated answer, "Lab more important mah, so they busy with their lab lor."

Anyway, as I write this, it dawned on me that it doesn't take much to ask how was I, so I think the people were rather very cool. But, not that they are cold-blooded, but in our situation when every semester we will meet different people, we are just acquaintances which most prob next sem, we will act like we dunno each other. Worse than a hi-and-bye. True? Now I only nod head and say hi to people whom I talked more to them during last sem, so sad... I onlyhave like only 4 contacts from last year's tutorial group. So my point is, to many of us, we might not see each other anymore, so basically, we are just like strangers. Therefore, no one asked me how was I except my lab partner coz she suppose to be my partner for the lab, cannot act like nothing happened mah, and my prof, coz she's a "Biggest Shot" in the lab.

Just now was watching a super old-school Hong Kong movie, it was a modified version of Street Fighters. Wah lau, Aaron Kwok, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Simon Yam, Ekin Cheng, all so young lor!!! But weirdly enough, I was glued to watching it despite being a 10 year old film (1993 production). I really admired Jia's wittiness, she said, "Can't believe that Jamie actually had the chance to watch a movie that we once watched when we were her age." So true hor! Anyway, we had fun dubbing "Ayogen!Ayogen!" when the bad Ryu was fighting with Broomhead (dunno his name), machiam like playing the game like that. Hee... hee... childhood memories.
