I am free. The examinations come to a close yesterday. I was home late after eating dinner with the girls. I mean – what could be better than eating a fine meal after examination? Well, there’s still eating a fine meal after examinations with 4 girls.

The last paper is Metabolic Biochemistry. Yes, it sounds cool. But I am totally uncool with the module. Which module requires you to study about 50 names of never-been-heard names of enzymes involved in around 7 never-been-heard metabolic pathways – Metabolic Biochemistry.

A total torture. Why am I studying things like – “Phosphorylase kinase phosphorylates glycogen phosphorylse”? [This is really in the notes.] It doesn’t make sense to you? It’s alright, it doesn’t make sense to me too. It’ll make a good tongue twister though.

And my stupid girlfriend tells me the urea cycle is not important. And what came out in the 20-mark question in Section C? Enzyme deficiencies in the urea cycle! If I hadn’t study, I’ll be in deep shit, or rather deep urine. [She says I haven't been using much negative adjectives in my blog so I have to use one - "stupid girlfriend"]

The paper ended, I came out of the hall happily seeing Zhi Yuan. This time, I didn’t ask how he fare for his exams. The last time I asked him he answered, “No need to ask, it’s the same answer.” Okay, I get it, he is not in good condition.

I went to marina south to eat dinner with my friends. They call what they’re eating steamboat I think. Years ago, I was still thinking of a boat that use steam as it’s power source and travels around rivers and coasts. Well, apparently there’s another meaning to it. It’s just this pot for you to boil things. You just boil yourself and eat yourself. Okay, that doesn’t look right, let’s make it clearer – You just boil the food yourself and eat the food yourself.

Before we had dinner, we made a detour to Bugis Junction. There is this machine there which is all dress in pink. Then you can enter and this spastic voice introduce you to the controls. After which, you take the pretty photos and you can do a quick edit to the picture you have taken within 180 seconds. They even time you 180 seconds! Photoshop is a much better machine, I can edit 180 minutes for all I care and it doesn’t even bug you. [Please note: Photoshop can crash occasionally and it'll get you screaming really mad.]

It’s the first time I been into such a machine. It quite expensive though. 2 photos cost you 8 bucks [around 5 U.S. dollars]. It’s cute, the girls like those a lot. Japanese businessmen are really smart.
