♥ sickness
i hate being sick.
feverish. cold/flu. whatever you want to call it.
it makes it difficult to concentrate. to study. to do things. to wake up in the morning.
oddly enough - i don't even know where i got it from.
my boyfriend got sick on the same day too! but we couldn't have caught it from each other because we hadn't seen each other the day before.
arghhh..
on other news. assignments and assessments are beginning to pile out. writing notes for each lecture is proving to be very time consuming - and i might just have to can that. according to most med students in upper years, it's pointless anyways.
i'm trying to exempted from chemistry - since i already did first year chem... will find out on monday if i can. not only will it save me money, but also TIME to do and focus on other things!
i've already told reddot i couldn't really work much anymore.. i think my next shift is just the saturday during study break...
still haven't really let go of tutoring - contemplating whether i can continue it or not still (even though i thought i already decided i wasn't)
anyways. took one of josh's stethoscopes today. he got it for free i think. but who cares. it's purple!
looking at it makes me kinda excited in the "I'M GOING TO BE A DOCTOR" kinda way :)

♥ iceskating, injection & christmas lights
last night i stayed up til 3am finishing house rules by jody piccoult. woot, another book done.. now to finish off handle with care - which i got for my 18th birthday but still haven't gotten around to finishing it ... (before i start on keeping faith, mercy and second glance - all of which i haven't touched since i bought them).. although i still have quite a few to read.. i'm still tempted to buy more! ahh love the post office and their three pack book bargains.
earlier today i went ice skating with the boyfriend. and he was the first to fall.. *points and laughs*
earlier today i went ice skating with the boyfriend. and he was the first to fall.. *points and laughs*
unfortunately for me we were both trying to skate on one leg when i stacked it... and he tried to save me, but ended up falling too... and in the end he ended up with the scratches and bleeding elbows (yes, at least when i fall, i fall smartly on my bum hehe)
so when we got back home and i was putting some bedadine or something on it, grandma walks in (she was outside hanging the clothes) and saw his scratches and starts laughing at him quite loudly. hehe.
so later in the arvo i went to the docs to get my injection for cambodia (hep A and thyphoid or something like that)
and the prick in the arm... it didn't hurt at all really...
so i was quite happy walking back home like meh that wasn't too bad
but now. now my arm is in pain. now it hurts when i move it. and it feels kinda deadish.
just then i was complaining to her that my arm hurt from the injection.. and she was like (in hokkien): at least they didn't inject it into your bum, then you wouldn't be able to sit down *laughs to herself*
oh how i love you grandma. and yes you too boyfriend, thanks taking the fall for me ;)
took grandma to see the christmas lights around the area at night... unfortunately there weren't many this year =[ mum thinks it because electricity is expensive.. or people need a break from doing it.. but yeah so dissappointing (it's something our family does every year..). there were so many houses we went to (whose address was online) and there was nothing... there isn't a good compiled list of houses (with pictures so you know which ones are good) for 2010 yet i don't think..
also did a surprise visit at the brothers house and took some photos of latte, their doggy
working tomorrow in the city, then a bbq after at mill point. hopefully my arm will survive til then.

♥ happy
today i am rather happy at a few things...
firstly my infection's healing has progressed quite nicely. forcing myself to stay at home was a bit annoying. but at least i got some study done. the scabs are slowly peeling off one by one (eww sounds so disgusting haha) - i hope i'm not left with any scars
secondly, ryeei bought me some new nailpolish, and it's the same colour as (or at least, quite close to) my new handbag that i bought in sydney. *insert big cheesy smile here*. because i bought that bag because i quite liked the colour haha.
thirdly, today i was sitting in my room doing umat, and started to crave for some banana bread/cake. so i got up and went into the kitchen, saw this thing that looked like bread on the bench, then realized it was actually some kind of cake. i took the glad wrap off and IT SMELT LIKE BANANA. zmgsh xD it was banana cake. HEHE.
anyways :) thats it.

♥ infection
after a nice brunch with josh, eunike and adrian, i went to go visit the doctors at uni today (since i was heading to uni to do some UMAT with Chris) and also because my face wasn't getting any better...
andddddddddddddd..............
she said i have some bacterial infection thing -____________-
gahhhhhhhhhh...... and it's contagious.
and prescribed me some antibiotics
so. that's just LOVELY.
I don't even know how i got it! I didn't have it on my last day in Sydney - Saturday. But somehow when i woke up Sunday morning i had like small wounds on my face that just kept getting bigger and worser as days passed!
well, at least now i've got meds that will (hopefully) help me get better.
i might just house bound myself since you know, i'm like a walking disease. a very ugly looking one too =(

♥ update in dot points
#1. I have these disgusting burns/scabs/blisters on my face. and they are absolutely horrific that I am very self conscious about them and don't really want to go out in public like this. even when nig came over yesterday i was like hiding my face with a pillow (and usually i don't care how crap i look like when i see him)
#2. Uni results... I got 3HDs and 1D ... =D! really happy about my HDs, but a little dissappointed about my D.. it was JUST on 70 (phew it wasn't one mark less). So I fell short my goal of getting everything above 75, and fell short of my goal of getting straight HDs. but it still turned out pretty good :) man scaling must have whoop-ed me bad for maths. really happy about my psyc unit results though, FINALLY a HD for a psychology unit!!! i've fallen short of it so many times (and oh so close too). But yes, my GPA has gone up! YAY! Hopefully it's enough to get into medicine :)
#3. I'm still recovering from a cold (zzz) that i caught in my final days in Sydney. I think I've finally gotten over the jet lag issue / lack of sleep from last week. For the past few days all I've been doing is sleeping!!!!!!!
#4. Uni Timetable is looking pretty good so far. If everything works to plan it will be half day Monday, one lecture on Tues (if i decide to go), one lecture on Wed (HMMMMMMM), half day (morning) Thurs, full day Fri. So finding time to fit in work shall be easy :)
#5. my UMAT is at 8AM.. like ZMGSH T__T dislikeDISLIKEdislike! I am not a morning person *sigh* can't believe it's in two weeks... *freaks out* nearly broke down about it yesterday too! gahgah, one step at a time!
#6. Still haven't blogged about BYM........... Ooopss... when I have time I will :)

♥ results & random thoughts
chem mid sem: 85.3
human bio essay : 83.5
stats test 1: 85.7
psyc report: results out monday.
weeee, those results make me happy. but i know i've slacked off the past few weeks. NOT GOOD for my gpa, so will need to get back into it (very difficult while having a cold and feeling like all i want to do is sleep) anyways just some random thoughts.

- i don't understand how or why people get reallyyyyreallyyyyy drunk all the time. it's dangerous. and i dont' really see the fun in looking like a fool?
- chicken burgers at the tav aren't too bad.
- one day i shall have to go and try a lemon lime bitters from the tav, it's only 3 bucks.
- being cheated on a horrific thing. and i can't imagine what it would be like, dealing with that. and i hope i shall never have to.
- i bought my most expensive bottle of coke at the airport on the weekend. 600ml. $4.50
- sticking by someone when they've hurt you is really difficult. sometimes you feel like just letting go, but you know that you could never do so.
- sleep is awesome.
- codral is also awesome.
- no more chem labs for the rest of semester. YES!
- i've done my marks book for the semester, and i'm going to try to aim for 75+ for every subject in an attempt to up my gpa.
- doctors make mistakes. i hope someone doesn't die as a result of my mistakes. i could get sued.
- there was an uni email sent arnd abt some diabetic company looking for undergrad students to work in their labs at uni. 6 - 8 hrs a wk. nxt yr. i might apply. it sounds pretty cool.
- i lost my coin purse today. i walked back all the way to my psyc lab to look for it. found it with my soothers still inside. but no lipbalm. i thought someone stole it. but by the end of the day realized it was in my pencil case x)
- i hope i can pull off a hd for maths this sem
- i still haven't completely finished unpacking
- i want satin black heels =[
- i want a romantic candle light dinner =[ *COUGH*

♥ ballarat
- ballarat is a really cold place. really cold. i don't think i've ever been anyone colder. i can't imagine what snow will be like.
- when eating at formal dinners, your bread is located on your left. the one of the right is for the person on your right, who happened to be the district governor for me.
- old ladies (i'm talking 50s-70s) know how to dance.
- older couples are cute. especially when they get up to slow dance to a live band.
- new york new york is a song that brought back many memories from tour, when the 17 piece seb big band played it live.
- i've been living on 5-6 hours sleep for the past three days.
- waking up at 6am to absolute FREEZING cold, makes it 10x harder to get outta bed. but i had a plane to catch.
- the zonta clubs are full of warm friendly women.
- if ur not prepared for speeches, just be yourself, like your having a conversation with someone. show them your personality. it works.
- i am still feeling groggy.
- lack of sleep + cold/flu + getting pms + long and busy weekend = a very sick me.
- still haven't completely finished packing. feel like going back to sleep in fact.
- i hardly took any pictures. it was way to awkward to actually get up and go around to take pics. so i didn't. regrettably.
- sigh, i feel like crap.

i'm feeling better now. still have a blocked nose and slight hot & coldness here and there.
i'm amazed i'm still awake actually.
i didn't actually sleep last night.like i was consciously awake all night.
the last time i checked the time was at like 3ish, then i just stopped looking, and laid there in bed trying to fall asleep.
i blame the tea, but i think josh is right, tea can't keep u up the whole night.
i might have possibly hit stage 1 or 2 sleep (or at least i hope so..), but i don't recall ever waking up, because i don't think i ever fell asleep.
my wwcc came in the mail today, the photo doesnt look too bad actually =) but it looks reallyy bright.
stat midsem thurs, ive got lots to catch up with. but i'll be fine. too bad noone else believes in me.
summer holidays, come sooner thanks.
p.s. saw the cutest white fluffy dog sticking its head out of a yellow car today. couldn't really get a good picture. because mum was driving too fast... xD but it was so cute!
P.P.S. ahaha, i got to see the nine ducklings that ry talked about xD... and attempted to walk up close to get a pic, and this was about as far as i got before the big duckie started snapping at me. CUTE!

♥ why being a female sucks
u know, i hate getting my period.
seriously. its so annoying.
my stomach hurts... i feel tired and exhausted and worn out...
u can't go swimming... u have to go to the bathroom every few hourss...
u have to be careful when u sleep... u crave the unhealthiest of food...
and u just feel like crap.
geez.
but its okay. it'll all be worth it ... eventually. because it is essential for me to have my period... so that when im 28 and pregnant, the blood will be protecting my baby.
G_G... also, i find it highly amusing that my boyfriend knows more about the biological side of the female body than i do. but i blame the fact that he did human bio... and i never really listened in health class =/ i just know what happens, not why... and really, i dont need to know why. i just want to know how to keep the pain away. Zzzzzzzzzz..
P.S. i spent the whole day sleeping. literally the whole day (so much for hardcore studying! sigh!)

♥ self analysis
i need to be more forgiving. less easily annoyed. more understanding. less stubborn. more loving. less cold. more patient. less selfish.
i hate being sick. it really does suck. its a reminder that i need to take better care of myself - and not wear myself out with the busyness that sometimes gets control of my life.
church today was good. it taught me to let go... to let go some of the things in the past. things that should have been let go a long time ago - i was just too stubborn to do so.
there's not many bdays coming up (for the rest of march), so i'm going to start winding down. focusing more on uni and the work that seems to keep piling up. i'm going to stop going out, and start spending less... and start saving more.
im going to start walking moree (or do some form of exercise) and eat better... even try avoiding junk food.
haha. am i being delusional?
someone once said to me.. that i always say these kinda things, but never keep to my word.
maybe they're right. maybe i dont walk the talk as i use to - or at least, thought i did.
i think thats why i dont like making promises. im scared of breaking them.
mmm my head feels stuffy. maybe it's not a good time to blog.
i want to be a better person.
i'm going to try to be a better person.
but i am human. and i do make mistakes.
but that's not an excuse. i will try =)

♥ life atm, trust and forgiveness
post #64: i will always remember that in yr 4 or something... i was in a mini game about your timestables... and i was in the finals. it was just me and this boy. it was one of the twin boys. and i had been doing pretty well. the game was the teacher would ask a multiplication question... e.g. 2 times 3. and first person to answer correctly one. and i will never forget that i lost to this asian twin boy because the fact that 8 times 8 did not immediately come to mind, like the other answers did. hehe. funny how i remember my losee..
so i'm feeling kinda unwell at the moment. it might me my diet. well today i wasn't eating very healthy. but i must admit, having cereal in teh morning (and eating quite a bit of it - until im full as) does not keep me full for much of the day. i even ate a nectarine at like 10am. yet at 12pm my stomach was rumbling, but i was in a psyc lab, so had to wait til 1pm to eat... but never ate til like 1.30/2ish. sigh, im always hungry. and so much $___$ goes to food... >__>
in fact my mouth is feeling rather oily O_O. might be that fried squid tenticles (argh but they tasted so good)... i feel so ugh now though. hence why the kettle is boiling so i can wash it down with some tea.
sleep wise... i got back pretty late last night. but it was for FiN. but i caught up. after i came back from uni... a two hour nap... ahhh <3>
my phone seems to be playing up, but funnily enough - it's only for me sending sms's to josh.
i also got a new smartrider - i think i'll use the one with my picture on it for emergencies (when i forget to bring my other one - i can use that one as concession ID)
but yeah man, public transport isn't cheap (i miss the 2hr 50cent rides!) i use what? maybe up to $2 a day (and thats getting dropped off in the city in the mornings)... so like $30 is gone in 2 weeks. its insane.
speaking of public transport - zmgsh. i took the train from warwick this morning. the first train that came was so packed, no one MORE could get on... i had to wait til the next train (it was only like 4minutes after, but yeah O_O)... and thankgoodness i take the bus to uni from wellington. because by the time we get to esplande. its so packed. that people can't get on the bus, and have to line up to get on the next one...
friend making in uni is going well. i've met lots of people (completely random - just introduced myself)... people like andrew, alex, josh, tamara, shaun, bec, janelle, ryan...
but people i've actually kept in contact with (seeing each other more than once during uni, sitting next to each other in class, facebook, msn) is probably rina... victa... an... matt...
other than that its mainly been people that i meet through other friends... jason, alvin, zarinne, mickey, chuan, daniel etc... plus josh's med friends.
the problem with already having friends in classes is that u sit next to them, and u dont' meet more people. but it's okay. there's always the bus - like i met ryan yesterday on the bus back to the city.
i like uni - socially. not so much work wise though. sigh.
mmm what else is on my mind. i had a long discussion on trust today. is it possible to trust someone that you've known for less than 6 months MORE than someone u've known for years and years? is it possible to completely trust someone while only knowing them for less than 6 months?
how about forgiveness...?
if your boyfriend / girlfriend / partner kissed someone else, would you be able to let it go? and move on?
if your boyfriend / girlfriend / partner slept with someone, would you be able to let it go? and move on?
like how hard would it be to let it go? to "get over it"... to forgive is one thing. but forgetting is much more difficult huh?
but yeah these were just random questions to see how commited we could be. i have nothing to worry abt ;)
well according to google.com
trust [truhst]
- have confidence or faith in
- allow without fear
- believe: be confident about something
- reliance: certainty based on past experience
- the trait of believing in the honesty and reliability of others
- faith: complete confidence in a person or plan etc
- confidence: a trustful relationship
i trust you.
P.S. man, tea is so good.
