It's official. My personal record of being awake for 44 hours plus....
In that 44 hours....
Woke up at 5.30 on the 14th of october, did some emails... did some revision for scientific practice exam, drank moccolo, head to uni to be a patient. Got my spine cracked :D. More revision, ate chips, sat for exams.
Came out, headed to the courtyard for BBQ, drank beer, ate sausages and pizza and salad.
Our happy happy faces after some beer, pizza and FINAL EXAM!!!
All the GEMS soaking up the sun and just chilling... spot those people in the 80's wear ;)
After the BBQ, headed to the library and worked on the Paeds take home exam. After getting some resources from the library, headed home.
Had grilled salmon and salad for dinner. One of my cousin and my current cravings. MMmMmmMM... Watched the gold medal match of netball ...Silver Ferns vs Diamonds....
Most intense match ever. My salmon got cold towards the end because it was such a nail-biting game, I didn't even want to eat my dinner. NZ better win orelse I won't have mood to do my exam. But it was really hard to tell who was going to win. Australia was leading at the end of 1st and 2nd quarter. Then NZ was leading by 2 at the end of the 3rd. Tutaia was just amazing. Her long range shots are just superb!!! And van Dyk...gosh!!! I really wonder how the silver ferns will fair without her. So steady. And she's 37 and she can still fly and jump around, damn awesome!!! Every single time the ball gets into the hands, you just know that she will get it into the hoop. Tutaia's long range shots still make me bite my nails because it's still very hard to tell whether it will go in. It's always more risky with long range but she is one hell of a machine!!! Damnn impressive! When they were leading in the 4th quarter by 7 points, I almost thought they were gonna win it already. That was when I was able to start eating. But the diamonds caught up, going into extra time with 47 all. it was never going to be an easy fight between these two teams. There were a few moments where I thought the diamonds were going to win. But then they missed the shot, then a sigh of relief. Every single turnover, it's either DAMN or YAY!! They had to go into extra extra time. First time watching extra extra time in a netball match for me. What a teaser man!! When you think the ball is gonna go in, it doesn't. Towards the end, you can just start seeing players in both teams starting to cramp. You can so tell Williams was cramping when it was sooo crucial not to. But she hung on and she's just a superb defender. Flying everywhere and intercepting balls. AHhhhhhh.... and then the final winning shot....by the young and quite hot (ok, i think she's really hot) tutaia.... Ahhhh!!! finally the game ended!! 66-64! and the results just how i liked it :D Didn't feel bad at all for the aussie team... they've been winning too many golds in the commonwealth games.. if they won this gold, it will just be one in the many gold medals they have already won. But to NZ.... it is very very very precious.....
the night before, it was the gold medal match between nz and australia. that match went into shoot outs.. and the aussie won. I wasn't that gutted because well... 1. i don't really follow the hockey. 2. this is the furthest the nz team have made it in hockey. the last time they won a medal was a bronze in the 1998 commonwealth games. So seeing them coming so far is just awesome. They definitely put up a tough fight for the aussies too. If they want the gold medal, they gotta earn it. You can so tell that the black sticks were never giving up. It was 2-1 to australia towards the end of normal time. And in the final 2 minutes, nz scored making it a tie. They had to go into over time..... and then.. shoot out. My reasoning for the loss is because NZ probably didn't even think they would get into a shoot out... they probably didn't have much practice on it and hence.. the loss. Really happy for them though because they did put up a magnificient fight for the aussies and not giving it to them easy.
So anyway...... hehehehe.... after watching the netball match, I was just too excited and happy that I couldn't get my head back into the exams... was on facebook quite awhile.... amazing to see so many people talking about the netball match.... funny how my canadian friends were watching the match too and one of the messaged me and said.... "that game was exciting.. but we had absolutely no idea what the heck was going on!" Hahaha!! must be all the penalties and turnover that they did not understand.... btw, they were cheering for the silver ferns ;) No, i didn't ask them to. Michelle is just a huge fan of Maria Tutaia. Apparently the canadian bunch have been watching netball matches on sundays on the tele.... they happened to watch one match randomly on a sunday arvo whilst studying and the commentator kept on mentioning Tutaia... Tutaia.... they were just wondering why is Tutaia mentioned so many times... lol! it's because she just keeps on scoring like a machine... and when van Dyk isn't playing, she'd get even more attention.... and then that's when they got into netball.. haha!!! all just because of tutaia... haha!!
After facebooking.. i showered and then worked on the massive take home exam... 70%... and she said we'd finished it in 2 hours if we have done all our tutorial prep and go to lectures and tutorials.. yeaa right! i did all my prep for this and did not skip a single lecture or tutorial and still had trouble getting my answers..... did it till the wee hours of the morning... come 5am... my head wasn't just functioning well.... i couldn't even stare at the screen anymore.. and so, I went to watch a movie on tele.. haha!! it's because i didn't want to sleep.. because if i do, i probably won't be able to wake up...
So yeaa... after 2 hours, had my breakfast, jumped around the apartment... and then back to working on the exam... towards the last question, i really couldn't be bothered... i probably got all my marks to pass already.. it's whether i want a distinction or high distinction.. but meh.... P's get Degrees... that's what they say... so yea.... really did a bad job on the last question.. no reference, nothing for the last question... just blab my whole way through with an intervention .... and then.. clicked SEND at 1pm.... and then, DONE.... like FOREVER. No more.
Went for a swim because I refuse to sleep. The last time I stayed up so long was back in 3rd year, doing that huge ass written analysis for my sportssci practicum. I think I was awake for around 36 hours. And so I wanted to break that record. Besides, this will probably be the last time I would do such a thing. Celebrating my youth before age starts to catch up on me.
After my swim, went online... surf the net and just did nothing..... Lucas called and asked to go for dinner. Was meant to meet him after dinner for poker but decided to go for dinner too since I was too lazy to cook and I want to celebrate!!!! by the way, I have lost 4 kgs because of the half marathon and then exams.... i have never been this weight since form 1...
Had Japanese just at the nearby restaurant in pyrmont as I was too lazy to even walk pass the Pyrmont bridge to head into city. After that... Poker time!! I haven't really played poker. The last time I played was with my family during the july holidays and that was when I sorta started learning how it works but still don't really understand it. But yeaa... after last night, I finally know what big blind and small blind is, when I can check, when I can call, when I can raise, when I can fold.... so funny how when we started playing at first, i was just simply saying check or fold.. haha!! Also learnt that I must not only know what my cards are but also try to think what the other player is chasing for. It's so hard to bluff though. But also, lucas found it hard to read my mind because at times, even I don't even know if I have good cards and simply raise ... So even I don't know what I'm thinking so it makes it harder for him too! Haha!! Won the first round simply because of beginner's luck. Come second round, I started to know my cards better and i think my expression showed... second round was wayyyy longer... the prize was the first person to win 3 rounds gets rewarded dessert.... so at least we're playing for something ... came 11 something and I just wanted it to end already... didn't really care coz i had already won the first round... so if i lose this, it will be a tie....and so... I lost. score now... 1-1. To be continued next time.... Gonna be harder now coz I know what I'm doing and it will be hard to bluff.... need to find my poker face!
On my way home, was just thinking how i am gonna bluff the next time. Just thinking of the many ways.... but it's going to be hard coz he's been playing it for ages!!! and then.. I got so awake... Hahaha!!! couldn't sleep.... so I watched a movie and then went to bed...
1.40am.. Sher Mayne knocked out.
And THIS is how it is done.
44 hours :D
Wahahahahahahhaa!!!!
