The ONE bloody thing about poly life

Lecturers can anyhow sukah-sukah last minute tell the class leader that there will be an extra tutorial from 3-4pm the next day and we are not allowed to skip it.

CHEEBAI RIGHT???!!!

I was supposed to be dismissed at 1pm on Wednesday; but NO!!! She simply HAD to give NR0608 extra clinical lab skills tutorials. (ps: this caused me to be in a semi-coma by the time I reached home). It's so fucking tiring to get a Diploma these days. UGH~!

Only the second week of the semester and I'm more stressed out than the time when I was mugging for my Cambridge exams.

Look, I'm having trouble managing my time already. And here's the best part of it all; my group mates nominated me to be the leader of subgroup 4.

THANKS EH?

Everytime a lecturer tells us to collect some damned ICA material from the photocopying lady, I gotta do the dirty work.

Those who know me well should be well aware that I can't stand groupwork and having huge responsibilities being laid on my shoulders. I'll be honest here, I HAVE NEVER ONCE ENJOYED GROUP DISCUSSIONS/ PROJECTS.

I prefer working alone. I do my stuff, I get my marks, I celebrate BY MYSELF.

When I'm in a group and we're planning to meet up to complete Tan's sickening homework, it's either someone can't make it on that particular date, we can't figure out which tutorial exercise to attempt first, communication breakdown occurs between me and some idiot or, this is the lagi worse one, our classmate from China suddenly interrupts the conversation by saying, "What are you all talking about? I don't understand."

OH MY TIANNNN!!!!!!!!

This is major shit man. This is the reason why I simply hate, I repeat, HATE working in a group! Hang on a second, I believe I wouldn't be feeling so negative if I were grouped up with Clara, Jen, Amal, Hajar, Raudah, Nur Hafiz etc.

These are people who have the brains to THINK for themselves. They are the sort who're independent and don't expect the group leader to do every fucking thing like collecting some ICA thingy from some photocopying auntie.

Not forgetting, they know when to give straight-forward answers when one is needed.

During a discussion, when I ask you, "What do you think is the most importatnt factor?", you give me your answer and SHUT UP after that. Don't go on explaining, "I think the most important factor is so and so because blah blah blah...". Take note, I asked you for the factor which you consider importatnt. I DID NOT ask you why you think it's important. And since I did not ask for any further elaborations from you, STOP WASTING MY TIME by telling old grandmother stories.

You wanted me to the the leader right? Then you obey what I've gotta say.

I'm not trying to be unreasonable or boastful about my current status. Here's the deal; I have five groupmates excluding me. And we were only given 15 minutes to come up with an ideal plan of which factor is the most important and which is the least important.

REMEMBER! Only 15 minutes.

If I were to let that one groupmate go on and on about why we should consider her option, WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF MY GIRLS? I don't mind hearing out what she has to say but I have to be fair, am I right? Everyone has to state her stand before further considerations can be made! So now I'm public enemy #1?!

FUCK OFF!

This afternoon, we had another group discussion. Phwoa! This is gonna be one of the highlights of my life man.

We were completing one of our assignments and ^%@! suddenly kept reminding me of all the stuffs I had to photocopy and collect for the group. What Clinical Lab skills shit lah, ICA (again!) card lah, photocopy the clinical report on transparency pieces lah yadda yadda yadda.

I so wanted to gag myself right on the spot. There I was, struggling to complete some fucking data worksheet, and there she is, talking about irrelevent things and making my head spin. C'mon lah, I'm human too ok. I can go berserk anytime at the rate you people are pressurising me lah! I will get those things done once I've completed what I have in hand at the moment. You can't expect me to multitask at such a horrifying rate, right or not?

And right at that moment, my little friend from mainland China didn't understand a question on the worksheet. Shidah tried explaining things slowly to her (see? her leadership is so much better than mine) but she still couldn't understand Shidah's language because of the malay accent.

So now I had to translate the term "eliminating" to this friend in Chinese.

I CAN'T TRANSLATE FOR NUTS LAH!

At first I told her that eliminating (the medical term) meant clearing of one's bowels aka going to the toilet.

She starred at me and said in Mandarin, "So 'eliminating' means going to the toilet?"

"HUH?! No, no, no! It's not the same as going to the toilet. It means removing unwanted substances from your body system."

"Meaning???"

"Meaning doing your business lor"

"Isn't that going to the toilet?"

"No lah, it's the clearing of the system lah"

"I still don't understand..."

That was it, I used body language to exlain it to her (don't ask me what I did). She smiled, took out her electronic dictionary and typed "eliminating" into it and the device translated the word into Chinese for her.

-_-"













I. AM. TRYING. TO. REMAIN. CALM.













THOU. SHALL. NOT. VERBALLY. ABUSE. MY. GROUPMATE.













BUAY TAHAN LIAO LAH!!!!!!! NABEH!!!!!!! Make me explain and translate like hell... in the end you had an electronic dictionary with you?!!

AAAaaaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those reading this had better not laugh. Cos I don't find it the least bit amusing. Instead, I find it sick.
