There are 2 crazy campers at NUSTEP (National University of Singapore Tissue Engineering Program), DSO: one called Mohan, the other called Melvin. One goes home late (late means 11 pm) because he has nothing to do at home, the other goes home late because he can't do anything at home.
Mohan is about the 3rd guy who mistook me for a PhD student (I can live with that). But today, someone mistook me for an identitiy that I'd never dream of.
I was at the Biomechanics Lab in Faculty of Medicine doing tests, when suddenly a professor (from Medicine) barged into the room, glanced at me for a second and said, "You must be an exchange student. Help me cut up the cadaver for examination."

Author's note: cadaver is a technical term for corpse.

Exchange student. Indeed. Maybe it's my height.
Anyway, the moment after he made that remark, the good doctor (or professor, whichever he prefers) began to demand for a digicam to take photos of the cadaver with.
"I need a camera. You should always have a camera when you're doing dissection. How can you do dissection without a camera? The camera can record the dissection down. I need a camera. Do you have a camera? No? Go and get one, quick! I need the camera."
I'm beginning to like this guy already.
He started cutting up the cadaver while he demanded for the digicam. After a while, it seemed that he had suddenly forgotten the urgent need for the camera, for a camera was brought over but he only kept his eyes on the cadaver.
When he finally finished examing the cadaver, he left as quickly as he had entered, no further mention of the importance of the camera was made. The lab officer just looked at me and shook his head.

hey mel, are you feeling alright? you sounded kindda pissed recently.
Take care of yourself k. Hang on for juz one last bit more and forever no more school le. *pat back*
I'd be lying if I said i'm not pissed, but don't worry, I was only pissed off at 1 person.
Was only trying to be funny when I posted that comment in your blog. Too many things on my mind, clouds my thinking and is gave everyone the wrong impression.
Thanks for the pat on the back.
