It's the hols!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay finally the emed test is over. And i'm waiting here with our pre-birthday girl waiting for her booze party to start. And i'm very hungry. And i hope there are enough pizzas for me.

The emed test, like the rest of the emed posting, is quite an experience in itself. The mcqs (true/false!! And i thought the only people cruel enuf to use the true/false format are the sadistic pharmaco pple, oh btw, the results are out) are a horrific horrific experience. I couldn't finish mugging the black emed book (i read up to the 's' section) and most of the questions were ortho type questions (trauma, upper limb) ergo i couldn't answer.

Then immediately after that was the osces slide tests. A word of advice to u my friends, it is in AUTOMATED slide show format, 1min per slide, with NO warning in between. As a result i totally miss the 2nd picture (the patient presented with fever and shock, wat would you give? i just anyhow hum-tumped that it may be a patient in anaphylactic shock. And it is!! Yay, my suay mouth saved me again.) Anyway it is a traumatic experience altogether, trying to figure out what the heck is the picture, read the question and try to smoke your way through while all the time looking back and forth at the screen for the next picture. I think i've got whiplash and a headache at the end of the 10min.

And THEN this was followed by the vivas. (For all of you lucky folks who don't have the pleasure of this exam, it is a verbal one-to-one session with ur tester where instead of writing down your answers you have to say it to the tester's face.) The test itself wasn't so bad (i got an extremely nice tester, who overlooked my nervousness, awkward silences and puzzled scratching of my scalp) it was the long wait that was the killer. It's quite funny actually, my waiting room accomodated students waiting for 3 different testers. And we have on one spectrum the tester rushing to go home, taking just 5min for each student, and we have the slowpoke who tried to ban a student from taking the test as he was inappropriately dressed. (i dun wanna mention names but i think some of you might guess lar) I thought it was really quite funny the jokes some people made in the waiting room, i think we're all high on lack of sleep and sheer anxiety. (Complete the following: tutors:tutees, councillors:councillees, testers:________) Also poor winston had to change clothes with ziyang (oops!) and the poor guy was in a panic because while his tester was at the 13th student, ziyang's tester was only at his 4th) And everytime the admin woman come inform a person waiting for the other testers, there would be a collective gasp "wah so fast!" and a corresponding groan from the slowpoke's students.

But i guess the master is still Gh's tester. We spoke to him an hour ago when i finished my test (i'm no. 11, mind you) and his group was still at no.7 and now we called him and found out that he's at no.10. And what number is our dear gh?
