i thought i could go to school this morning, but alas i was too drowsy.
lucky i cld still go to clinics!
sadly i didnt see my italian dude anymore :(

i need opinions!

***

the medicine made me too drowsy & weak..
haha besides, i was coughing and sneezing so much everyone will kill me if i go to school, i reckon.

wingg! thanks babe! i m feeling much better now.. after abt 30++ hours of sleep for the past two days -chuckles-

welcome to melbourne

xoxo:
omg, weather forecast for tomorrow is like min 8 degrees & max 22 degrees
xoxo:
what kind of lousy weathr forecast is that? 14 degrees of difference?

shuk!:
welcome to melbourne, my dear.

in search for a new language

so i have been faithfully bugging my korean & indo & viet friends to teach me a new phrase everyday. haha i intend to learn, and master, all 3 new languages at one go. oh and of cos, the language of anatomy as well.
how cool is that.

anyway, i feel good staying at home and just spending time alone with myself.
i finished a lineage of grace (i need a new christian book!),
did my laundry, whipped up something better than maggie mee, watched half of 'she's the man' and half of 'hitch' and yes, basically just enjoying time.

though the throbbing headache stays,
the fever had subsided.

and very strangely,
i suddenly miss hongkong a lot today.

p.s. can we please go to bangkok? : (

laughter is the best medicine, after all.

chanced upon an amusing 'medical' fact:

laughing causes the dilation of blood vessels, and therefore decreases the chances of heart attack or other cardiovascular diseases.

now i wonder, if i laugh hard enough, will these terrible headaches n fever would go away?

The Lord provides! yay, now there is hope :)
oh dear Lord, please let everything work out smooth and fine.
keeping my fingers crossed

p.s. high school musical - go watch it on youtube.
it rocks!

life's being pretty boring these few days.

and when i saw some little white flowers in full bloom today,
i came to the realisation that
spring is here, which means
i need to lose those winter flabs quick.

la dee dum

DFO-ed today.
total damage unknown yet,
but innocently lost 50bucks to some dishonest & lucky person.
pff.

anyway! thank you to
diane, andrea, ying yi n joanne for being great shopping partners :)


btw, have you heard of the paradise?

you know,
the place where pretty ladies wear flowers on their heads

where people walk on the waters in a line

where naughty kids get thrown upside down
where superheroes come to life
and girls scratch their butts in public

that's where i will be off to coming holiday!
am i excited or very very excited!

friday saw a long awaited catching up session with princess char!
hehs, i made her wait for an hour..
but i know she was more than happy to wait, haha, rights?

afterwhich i had to rush off to the cocktail party.
had loads of fun, learnt loads of things and met loads of pple,
though many of whom i had forgotten by the time i woke up this morning.
was rather regretful that i didnt bring my camera along though,
everyone was wearing such pretty dresses and suits!

skipped ocf for the party, which i felt rather guilty for.
after all, i had promised hui li & cell that i will be going..
bahh..

mel and siuniang are flyin home tonight, for good!
i cant wait to graduate too, though i m getting to enjoy melb more and more.

it's williamstown-day!
yes yes, went to williamstown hosp (:

and wow! i didnt know that aru can speak german&italian,
and that he migrated to aussie when he was five, from india.
always thought he was a true blue aussie.
haha picked up a few italian vocab from him:
sole = sun
fiore = flower
bravo = good
dolore = pain

anyway, there was this 94 year old patient who's really cute.
pity he said he only want to live for one more year.
and with regards to his tips on how-to-live-till-94...

1. dont drink wine that is made in aussie - drink those from italy
2. drink 3 litres of milk a day
3. aussie tomatoes are poisoned!

and i had aussie tomatoes for today's lunch&dinner.

haha. look at what i cooked today!
yummy yummy.

yah right
hor fun from nasi lemak house la!



steph's 18th:

school was nothing but sleepy sleepy sleepy.
haha. and it's all those TVB dramas' fault!
so i went home n slept for hours.
haha, nice deep sleep.

woke up feelin happy and went to richmond for viet pancakes
then to trampoline at brunswick st to have lychee with lime sorbet & spotty dog gelato!
simply delicious.
eating ice cream in the car during winter while listening to music n chatting..
thanks rach for driving + the pancakes!

i enjoy all these simple pleasures in life :)

it's a bright and sunny banana day
and i m trapped here studying like a nutcase.

guess my 'i need to get off the com and do some work' never works out.
but anyway! i just read my sis's blog! and i m soooo happy!

she said:

i went to church with rachel today cos she's been persuading and pestering me for almost 2 years. and i thought of my sis saying this to me when i went to her church last year : "eh, going to church helps to improve your character." something like that. and i said "ok" when rachel asked me

Praise Lord! Praise Lord! Praise Lord!
:) :) :)

hey lil sis! i knew you didnt feel very comfortable in my church the last time i brought yu there, and perhaps you may not know, but i have always felt guilty about it. i was afraid that you might be put off by churches because of the boredom and awkwardness you felt the last time - but i am so glad you didnt!
anyway, i was reading my lec notes just now and i came across this, which i think is very relevant to you since you pierced yur ears recently.. haha

before


after


due to an infection and improper healing (formation of granulation tissue)
so.. ha ha. take care and clean your ears to prevent an infection ah.
;)

there's never been a moment that i m free for the past week, really.
but finding amusement in watching a sub standard play this weekend made me realise that nothing matters more than the company at the end of it all. even doing nothing is comforting.
that's how it is with old friends. i become patient and accomodating, not because i m forcing myself to, but more of because i just am.
it's funny how my attitude changes so drastically towards different people.
haha. maybe i can train myself to see everyone with the dude's face on their head instead, so that i will be a nicer person. (you know, like rip off their face in my mind and put her face on their heads instead, like what they do in those big-head-cartoons?)

i like my new house. i like my new room. i like my new housemate rachel.
but i dunu, i may still want to move out next semester.
maybe to a suburb wif stef if all works out, to really immerse myself into melbourne, and not just the melb city centre.
or perhaps share a house with 3 other pple in a double storey unit in college square.
that will motivate me to go to the gym quite a bit.

talking about college square, i played pool there on wed. omgsh do i suck now :(
or maybe it's just the balls and the table and the sticks, and not me. hurhur.

i m craving for bailey's cheesecake from big o!
i just concluded (by the thoughts that's running thru my mind now) that i will need a dose of cheesecake to make me sane every month.
so maybe i will dedicate 10cents/day to a cheesecake trust fund.
everyone's welcome to donate!

talking about food...for the past few days, i have been surviving on a high carbo diet - white rice n white rice only. (at least it's not bread) i cant wait for monday to end, then the first thing i am going to do: get my shoes from myers! (and do some shoppin since i am already there) pick up the goniometers, go to QVmarket, whip up something nicer than white rice, which i m sure wldnt be too hard. then i m gg to hit the gym to burn the carbo. and i need to sew that loose button, pay a visit to the post office for *classified* matters, clean up my room, do more laundry, maybe go explore a suburb, join the community work thing rach was talkin about, learn swimming with anthea, apply for my work visa, learn more abt the Ls, go to IH and watch more tvb drama shows n steal more free lunches..
okay, i realise that i wldnt exactly be that liberated on monday.

oh btw! i've got a cyst on my hand!
eeww.
i freaked out thinkin it's an abnormal bone growth, attributed by.. maybe osteomalacia or something more serious. haha so i bought 3litres of milk, and drank it like water to increase my calcium intake. but apparently, rach said tt its just a cyst, which will resolve in months. phew.
the more i learn abt my body, the more paranoid i get.
in the past, i was: 'maybe abnormal mosquito bite'
but now i am: 'omg, i may die in a few mths' time! how!!'
i wld have went to the doc if not for rach, seriously.

i wonder how doctors sleep at night, knowing that their eyes go into this disgusting twitching mode once they fall into deep slumberland. i feel grossed out now everytime i think abt how my eyes move under the eyelids when i sleep. i mean, it's so gross.
oh if yu dunu what i mean, go watch the episode of house last week.


i would have gone on rambling and rambling if not for the stupid test tmr.
so mates, here i end my longest post thus far :)

happy birthday s i n g a p o r e, the little tropical island where you cant see much of the sky.
but i guess it's never the place, but the people and the memories.

I guess we don't have to change friends if we understand that
friends change. No matter how good a friend is, they're goin to hurt yu every once in a while, and all yu need to do is simply to forgive and accept. True friendship will continue to grow, i m sure, even over the longest distance.

It's taking me a long time to become the person i want to be.
