An update for an almost dead blog.

Holey Sheeetttt!

It's almost 1 year since I updated. 1 FREAKING YEAR. That's how inactive I am when it comes to blogging.

So, why am I typing this post now? *drumrollllllllsssss*

It's in honour of Carmen Lo! Yes. You. Carmen. Lo. You better be reading this. :P

For those of you who didn't have the chance to meet my beautiful cousin (she's in fact my niece - my cousin's daughter - and since I am living in denial that I am THAT old, she's my cousin. End. Of. Story.) Here's a picture of both of us. <3

That's both of us in KL Bird Park. It was fun~

She came down to KL a few months ago and we had loads of fun. In fact, I even been to places that I have never been before thanks to her. So it's like a almost-a-month-long tour in KL for me. NICE!

So, most of you might or might not know (since I didn't update this blog for sooo long) is that I finally finished my thesis. Also, I got a certificate for IGCSE Chinese as second language cert with the grade of A* (super cool) and got my hair cut.

Besides that, I am FINALLY going to Hong Kong. No, the post in which I said mom had let me go to Hong Kong (which was 2 years ago) didn't come true. She did allow, but due to some stuff, it got delayed until now. So yeah, I am due late in Hong Kong for 2 years.

Now that thesis is over, I really don't know what to do. I have been dabbling in baking lately, and my latest trial, a Japanese Strawberry Shortcake failed. Why? Cause I don't know how to whip cream. I can whip meringue (by hand nontheless) but I can't whip cream. Sigh....

Yesterday, when I was trying my first attempt of the shortcake, I branded myself with the oven. Like a cow, in a cattle ranch. My arm touched the top of the 180 Celsius oven and it wasn't pleasant. It's an inch long, with white flesh - dead flesh. No pain, nothing. I was worried about it, but mom said it was nothing.

It started bleeding today, turned yellow too. So I went to the clinic to get it checked. It was a different leng zai doctor from my usual leng zai doctor (Seriously, did they come from a factory or something? they are getting more leng zai and younger!) and according to him, despite looking real terrible, it's actually mending. He took out the blister fluid from another burn (I didn't realized that there was 2 burns) and gave me some cream to put on both burns. Oh yeah, he gave me pointers on how to whip cream. LOL.

Funny thing is that when he saw my burn, he actually said that if I didn't tell him where I got it from and he had to guess, he would say it was child abuse! LOL. HAH! See Ma, I told you all the butt hitting, leg smacking, body smashing fun time will come back to haunt you. :P <3 you nonetheless.

Well, I guess that's all for now. :)

P/s: Carmen, if you are wondering when I found the time to type this, it's when I told you I was watching J Drama. :D <3, BAF

Blah blah blah. :P

It was September when I last updated! Oh My goodness, that's really long!!

Well, let's see. Interesting updates on life. Hmmm.....

I know, let's start off with my oh so favourite topics for the last few posts. My Sims 3. Well, in the end I really bought the original games and Oh boy, I only have this to say. I should have bought it earlier. My versions work mostly perfect after the patches that EA games released. Latest expansion is called Late Night where my sims can go clubbing and be celebrities. It's quite interesting, with all the bouncers-not-allowing-you-to-go-into-a-club if you are not popular enough and stuff like that. Also, now that it's holiday and I am super lazy to start doing stuff for my internship, I actually started creating a Sims 3 world. It's interesting, but super time consuming and eye straining. I am currently at about 1/2 done? Let's just hope I can get it done ASAP. Can't wait to see how it looks like!

Not to mention that I started watching One Piece anime, after Siew See got me hooked onto the manga again. It's quite addictive, really, with me being able to stare at ACE cun-ted body for like 10 episodes in a row. Sigh... so in love with him. No idea why, but from the moment I read about him in the manga, I super liked him. Even more than Zoro (that's my fav character in the crew btw). So yes, I was super sad when he died. >.<

Also, been shopping online these days, though my mom don't really agree with it. And I just realized that I actually ordered the wrong color dress, much o my dismay. But oh well, at least I ordered navy blue instead of Black. Thank god it's not Pink or anything like that.

oh yeah! my aunt will be coming down tomorrow, so it's bringing them shopping again. I wonder if she will bring my youngest cousin that can never resist the urge to insult everyone around him. Really, spending time with the little boy can cause a huge blow to one's ego and self confidences. Though the last time I saw him, he actually matured and only insulted me like a day before he left, if compared to the previous times where he insulted me BEFORE he even stepped into my house. Oh Well... I have lots of training when it comes to ignoring insults like that. :P

I am going to Zzzzz soon since tomorrow I will be out again.

nite ppl!

Black and White

You all may notice that the entry for the MPH blogging competition is no longer up. That could only signify one and one thing only. I didn't make it to the short list. Leaving the post there was too depressing, I decided to take it down instead. Well, honestly, I didn't really expect to get short listed in the first place, but I tried nonetheless, just to keep up the tradition of submitted my 'not-so-well-written' short stories for MPH writing competition just for the heck of it.

Gosh, looking back at the date of my previous post, I can't believe that it has been soooo long since I last posted. Just a short follow up of the previous post for those of you who were wondering; yes, I did bought original Sims 3 and their main expansion packs which made a huge hole in my pocket, and no, it did not work perfectly alright but it's still better than the pirated versions. It still crashes and have the issue of not being able to save which makes me paranoid and want to save everytime something major happens, but other than that, it's well, ok. It's really a huge improvement from the pirated version though I really thought that EA Games did a horrible job at fixing all the crashes and glitches that comes together with the game.

Well, now onto the main topic of this post.

I was channel surfing yesterday and I came across this advertisement for a taiwanese drama starring Zaizai. For those of you who don't know who he is, he is the 'on-off-star-of-my-life' celebrity that I have a weird obsession with.

This is him, by the way

The obsession I have with him is really weird. Whenever I see him, I go all 'OMG!! I am so in love with him. He's so cute!!' but if I don't see him for a certain period of time, this weird obsession just fades away to the background.

I first saw him in Meteor Garden and I totally fell in love with his character. Yes, he is one of the members of F4, and I don't care what you all say, I still think that they are NOT GAY LOOKING. When I was younger, I use to get ribbed for liking them cause my cousins thinks they are too feminine looking. Well, I can't blame my cousins since F4 previous hairstyles don't do them justice, but after they had their makeover, I say, they are cute!

Since he was the one that sparked the whole interest in the Chinese community thing within me, my whole obession with him just doesn't go away completely. Yes, it fades away but if I see him on the news or on an ad, the whole circle starts again.

So, when I saw the ad for the drama that he was starring, it triggered the whole process and I decided to check out his latest drama 'Black and White' (2009) although when I first found out about the movie in 2009, I wasn't interested in it since it's a cop series. Maybe it's because of too much TVB series when I was younger, Taiwanese cop drama just doesn't seem right to me. But I decided to give it a try anyway.

And Oh boy! Did I regret not checking out that series earlier.

Black And White (2009)

It has all the gunfire, triad, good cop, bad cop, drugs and firearms dealing elements that a usual cop movie would have. But this drama comes along with some romance and some silly elements that just makes me fall in love with the show. The silly moments make the whole movie lighter and it doesn't portray the whole 'the-world-is-evil-we-will-all-die' theme that some dramas may have.

Well, of course, having cute actors in it plays a very big difference. In this show, Zaizai plays this happy-go-lucky, hedonistic seeking cop that just transfered to a new district and has to work with this 'all-work-no-play' partner that makes them clash heads from the very beginning. But as time goes by and them saving the day, they became closer.

I am currently only at episode 7 but I think this is one of the dramas that I will watch till the end. There are plenty of Taiwanese series that I watched and gave up halfway because as I told my aunt, the plot is too slow and predictable. It usually goes in terms of guy meets girl, they hate each other guts (sometimes one is rich while the other is poor), fall in love somewhere in between, someone's parents disapprove of the relationship, a love triangle comes into play, the hero and heroine breaks up, heroine gets with the other guy but still loves the hero, but in the end, hero and heroine gets together leaving the 3rd guy alone which makes you want to go hug him and tell him that he's going to be fine.

Since the main attraction of this drama is cop, it doesn't highlight so much of the romance though from the very beginning I realize that unrequited love is in the first episode but we shall see how it develops since it's starting to turn out very complicated, at least the romance part. But since it's not the main highlight, it didn't bother me much.

There are many funny moments that I saw in the drama. Just to name a few:

• The first time Zaizai went to the forensic lab, he had a drink in a measurement cup. He puts the cup down and when he picked up, he took the wrong cup and drank rabbit's urine instead. His expression: Priceless.
• Zaizai has this scene which he goes to talk and coax the fax machine to spit out fax for him.
• He was suppose to check the lead on illegal dealings of firearms, but he ended up buying them instead. When the firearms that they were supposed to raid went missing, he foolishly told the captain that firearms were dealt here cause he bought some and showed it to the captain. Of course it got confiscated.
• He's been staying next to a drug making plant and he didn't realize until he raided the place. It was just a wall away!

Of course, watching this drama also helps me to develop my characters for 'Love4ever 2' since one of my main character will be dating with someone from the triad, which is very familiar to the storyline of this drama. Who knows, it might give me some inspiration!

Well, I guess thats all for now. I am going to continue staring at Zaizai's face tomorrow since I need to go sleep soon.

He's so cute!!

Addicted to you~~~

I am seriously addicted to you. For the moment, at least. and it really can't come at a worst time since I am in the midst of my finals and its sooo screwing up my studies. Come on gal!! need more will power to resist you! *goes back to you again* sigh... resistance failed.

I am addicted to Sims 3. AGAIN. did I tell you that I am in the midst of my exams? yes? then great. it meant like what i said earlier, it can't come at a worst timing.

Okay, okay. I have been playing it for quite some time now, since I got my new lappie. It was all a-ookay. Then I had to stumbled over something called the 'legacy' challenge. It where people play sims 3 with no cash cheat and over the period of 10 generations. which by the way, it NOT my tradition of playing. I tend to use the cheat and create super ugly houses that ends up looking like a over-sized box since I suck at designing.

The rules of the challenge is that you start out at the MOST expensive lot ever, which leaves you with only $1300 simcash. Which by the way, is super little. So of course, most of the poor sims then to sleep under the stars. There are players that plays the challenge and string the snapshots into stories. And I totally fell in love with reading the stories they post. it has something to do with my obsession of future generation and how they live yada yada yada.

SOOOOO....
after reading these stories, I decided to start one of my own. I called it the Smythe legacy, for the lack of better names. The legacy.I decided NOT to do the story, although I was sorely tempted, but knowing myself, I will for some reason lose interest in stringing the snapshots and abandon the project while my sims go on. not to mention that I SUCK in taking pictures in sims 3. Photographer, I am not....

I started out like everyone else, created a sim, had only $1300 in the bank, bought a bed under the stars, a forever breaking down toilet and shower, a chair and a fridge. there goes all my money. I had no money to create a room for the toilet, so he has to do his business for the whole wide world to see. Found his mate, procreated, procreated and procreated, became a rock star, died on me *grrrr...just when he is making loads of money for me. >.<*, made his kids get marry, chosen a heir and procreate and procreate and procreate again and I am already at my 3rd gen. My 3rd gen baby was just born! named his ben for the lack better names again. I suck at giving names to my sims =.=. I want to avoid using names that I know, but in the end, it failed. I used ben, short for my cous's name.

I started the game a week ago, which means 1 week before finals which in turn means I have been playing the game quite often when in fact, I should be studying. But thank god, I manage to cram everything in so far, so the exams was okay for me. 1 more paper to go and I am free......

But for now, since i finish reading the notes 2 rounds already, I am gonna go and play again. before I sleep tonight, I shall go study again to seal the facts into my brain. HOPEFULLY.

it's up and running

Okay, after my post of being frus over Sims 3, I decided to give it a LAST try. Went for the board game event organize by my half-sister, Abygalye and friends with Melissa and the lost long Sheep that stills owe me a letter which she claims her TOY dog ate it. they met up with Jeremy (their jeremy. Not jeremy choy) and we played a few games which is very entertaining. I had most laughs playing Last day on earth although it's some zombie game. hehe....

then, we head to BV for sakae and I think the fella telly up our bill wrongly because it was very very cheap for all the stuff we ordered. Since we were all in a rush and their payment system broke down, we decided to just NOT be honest for the time.

Dropped Lam aka the sheep (Baaaa~) at Amcorp mall and we went there to lepak. Found a shop that sells sims 3, bought that and the expansion pack, came home, did my assignments while it installed and patch and VOILA!! it worked!! OMG!!!! after months of frustrating, it finally worked. YAY!! now i got something to do for tomorrow's 4 hour break, though I need to do some cutting before that. Oh well! it's working~~ and I am sooo happy!! :P

haha...

sick and frustrated

I am sick and frustrated with the Sims 3. Have been trying to get it installed for hours now, and when it's finally installed, I can't update. and when i can't update, it means I can't freaking play the expansion packs and add on stuff!! cheee!!

Alright alright, maybe it's because I am playing the pirated version but then again, who doesn't try that first if they have the option (at least when you are in Malaysia.) I have like 3 copies of the base game, 2 copies of expansion packs and ALLLLL of it has problems. That's what I get for playing pirated. and mind u, each copy ain't cheap! If i add the price of all the copies that I bought and failed on me, I could already have bought the original one plus the add ons plus the expansion pack >.<.

And it definitely not the problem of my laptop because the laptop that I installed the game in is 1 day old. =.= yes. I bought a new laptop. Toshiba satellite M500. I am too frustrated to type out the post for the lappie, so if you all want to know how it looks like and the specs, go google.

In the end, I manage to convince my mom so that I could buy the original copy of Sims 3 and their expansion pack. I am too frustrated to think about the price anymore. I am sick and tired of waiting, hoping, praying, installing AND uninstalling the game into my new laptop. the whole process is screwing me AND my laptop system up. so yeah, I wanna buy the original copy. if that fails on me too, I have nothing to say but EA games sucks. seriously. when I google sims 3, all i read about is how bad the whole patch and downloading thing work. I am in serious agreement with them.

Come on sims 3. would you freaking WORK???

Sick

Fell sick yesterday with a horrible, watertap-ish flu and a sore throat.

Sore throat is much better now, but my watertap-ish flu became clogged up since morning. Which means, difficulty in breathing.

Hate falling sick.

Gah!!!

Updates

Happy new year!!! yeah, i know, it's a really belated wish, but since this is my first post of the year, I think I have the rights to make that wish even though it's really late. :D

so yeah, like the blog title suggest, this post will be made up of short updates.

1) Bought a dreamcatcher from 1 Utama. It cost me RM 30 and it's hanging on my bed with the 'yoko yoko' bottle that is sitting on my bed's headrest as a hook. Looks a lil weird with it hanging there, but I am ok with me. Well, from the moment I bought it till now, I didn't have any bad dreams (although I dream everytime I sleep, seriously!!) so yeah. :D

2) Finally bought my Ipanema after long long long consideration.

3) Semester is starting and I have no idea what subjects I am gonna take. If things gets horrible, I might take only 2 to 3 subject this sem. >.<

4) got back grades for consumer behavior and marketing. It's exactly what I want. (yay! another A!! I consider A- as an 'A' k. yes yes, I am kiasu. >.< hehe..)

5) got two funky looking t-shirts when I went out with jo, fred, eliza and mae. one is with a hoody and the other is a normal looking t-shirt with funky designs. Mom is fine with the t-shirt, but when she saw the the one with the hoody, she gave me the WTH look.

6) I still want to sleep. ZZzzzz.....

7) MIGHT watch Avatar for the 4th time. Depends on my time schedule today since I am going to watch Sherlock Holmes with Mel. Called Luc, Justin, James and Mae along but so far only Justin and James replied. They can't come. :(

8) Helped out with orientation on Wed and yesterday. Yeah, at certain times I was almost falling asleep (sleep debts remember?? ) but I had fun, especially yesterday. Well, Wed was just pure torture with the blazing sun.

9) had a 1 hour talk with Bill, Jo, Mae and occasionally Suresh (BComm staff) about nothing. which made me pay extra RM 2.50 for parking. but it was fun!!!

10) Holidays are coming to an end. NOOOOOOO!!! I didn't have enough fun, didn't play enough games, didn't read enough books and the list goes on.

11) I just woke up like half an hour ago. yes, I am a lazypig. :D Hey! I love sleeping okay? It's really sad that it feels like I didn't get enough sleep. *doze off*

12) Finally saw Calvin after the last sem ends. lol. He went MIA in Penang. :D

13) Had a great Christmas eve and new year eve celebration. though I was half falling asleep in both occasion. (this shows how long i have been holding onto my sleep debts)

14) I WANT to sleeeppppp!!!!! ZZZzzzz. oh wait, wrote that already. :D

15) I seriously have no idea what to write for my no. 15 update, so this is it and I shall stop this post here. :D

well, that's all for now!

Not a very good day.

The second last day of the year is indeed not a very good day for me.

Today I went out with my cousins to watch Avatar 3D (yes, my second time watching Avatar, though the first time is not 3D. I have a feeling that my 3rd time is coming up with my parents). Unfortunately for me, I did not spot any differences whatsoever in viewing, imaging, OR the level of excitement. It felt like I paid Rm 18 just to watch a 2D show. The differences between 2D and 3D is not much, so I think that it's not really worth watching it in 3D. I should have expected it, but for some reasons, even after some disappointing effects from 3D movies, the interest to watch it is still there!

After that, we went ahead and watch Alvin and the Chipmunks 2. I agree with Mae that the first version is nicer. After all, what are the odds of a superstar getting his head dunked in the toilet???!! and that was one of the scenes in there. I mean, come on!! what are the chances?? though I really like the Chipettes. They are CUTE!! hehe....

somewhere through out Avatar, I realized that my phone dropped out from my pocket. Gave me a huge scare and I finally found it stuck in between the handrest. I was glad that I found it and left it at that. BUT guess what?? while I was searching for my phone, my carkeys dropped too and I had no idea until I wanted to leave the mall.

Since I was suppose to drop my cousins off, latest by 6.30 and it was already 6.00 when I wanted to leave, I panicked. Really panicked. I called my mom, called my bro, got a trashing on the phone and he finally agreed to bring the spare key like 45 mins later. but I just dont have the time. So I did what my cousin suggested.

Go and ask if GSC found my keys.

and lo and behold! they did! Thank GOD! though the attached keychain from LV was missing. I could barely recognise the key without the keychain.

Then it was dropping my cousins home. I only have 20 mins and the journey would usually take max 10 minutes but since it wasn't my day, there was a traffic jam!! I arrived at their place 10 minutes late from their 'curfew' and I hope they didn't get grounded or anything since it's my fault.

Took my car for a wash with Mel, then headed out for dinner. Dinner was great. However, by the end of the dinner, both of us needed the toilet badly and since we didn't want to stink up the place, we thought of heading home since it's 3 min drive. But once again we were stuck in traffic JAM. Imagine this, 2 toilet desperate gals stuck in a traffic jam makes the car ride a mouthful car ride with all the expletive words.

so yeah, overall, the day is not a very fine one. I feel like sleeping, but I still have chores to do. ZZZzz not to mention a bath which will definately keep me awake for hours still.

P/S: Happy new year ppl!!!!

Unexpected

Today, a lot of unexpected things happened.

For one, I thought I was gonna die for Comm theory, but in the end it turned out okay and I even came out 1 hour earlier. One thing I realized about the comm theory paper was that there were a lot of minor details that he questioned on, which makes me think of Bill's paper. I don't think I will fail this paper, and after doing the finals, I am hoping for at least a C+. It would be fantastic if it turns out to be a 'B'. Am not sooo ambitious to get a 'A' in Kannan's paper yet, since that seemed to be eluding me for all the subjects that I have taken with him.

Then, marks for advertising campaign was finally on e-learning and I have 50/60. Which is great, because I seriously think that I was sooo gonna fail. Since I was on the 50% dot and it means it's impossible to fail, there's no much worry about passing ad campaign anymore. Now I just have to aim for the grade that I want, which is at least a C+. That is sort of like a pre-req for my grades and so far, I am gladly to say that I haven't went lower than that. Mae and Eliza did fairly well in this sub as well, better than me, I have to say, so kudos! to the both of you. see! there's nothing much to worry about!! now all we have to do is aim for the grades that we want.

The next paper is consumer behavior, which is on Wed 4-6 pm, leaving me with a day break in between to study. For consumer, I am seriously aiming for a 'A-'. I really hope that I can get it, since now I am already holding 62% out of 70% of my marks. Bill calculated and counted that I could get the maximum of 14 wrongs ( I think) outof 60 questions if I want to get a 'A-'. It's not an impossible feat for me, but it means that I have to seriously concentrate on studying for consumer behavior. Considering the fact that I didn't listen to his lectures at all in class (spend the time day dreaming), hopefuly, I can grasp ideas from the text book itself. Like I say, it's not impossible, but it's gonna be difficult.

As for marketing, which is on Fri, 9 o'clock, I really don't have much hope for it anymore. I guess I am aiming for at least a B- now and hopefully I can get it since it will be totally depressing if I get lower than that. After all, it's my second time studying the same thing, with the same lecturer, using the same set of notes and textbook and the first time I got something that is the same as an A. I realize that if I study the same thing for the second time in different semesters, my grades tend to be lower. It was the same for Business, and now it's happening for marketing as well. I suppose it's because I lost the motivation to study for that subject.

Media writing? haha, let's not talk about that alright? I think I screwed up half the paper. Hopefully like what Mae say, she might be lenient cause it's a first year paper.

I guess that's all for now!!

It starts tomorrow

When I say 'it' i refer to this semester's final exams.

My first paper is tomorrow, at 12.30. Really sucky because it's a sat and I wanna sleep in!!

adding on the fact that I have no mood whatsoever to study for media writing that is tomorrow makes it even worse. And I have no idea what to study at all because when I think of media writing, I think of writing! and can anyone tell me how do one study writing other than reading???

So yeah, I am sort of screwed for media writing unless i can crap some quality stuff out for the paper tomorrow. i have an idea on how to write news and I really hope that is sufficient.

This is one of the consequences for not attending classes for so long.

Well, I guess you guys just wish me luck!

All the best to myself and of course to those that are taking finals alongside with me this week.

On the mend

Sprained toe joint or gout? that is the question.

seriously. I say it's sprained toe joint while my mom is convinced that it's gout because I have urine acid. But I still say it's sprained toe joint cos all the symptoms are just exactly the same and I have the real bad habit to pull my toe at every single direction whenever I play computer. And when I say pull, I really pull it HARD. so it's really no surprising if it finally sprained. I knew that habit of mine was gonna to get me into trouble one day, but do I stop? Nope! and I have the feeling that it won't stop anytime soon~~

What I was talking about was the pain at my toe that I was complaining about in the past 2 posts. Getting allergic to the med that was issued by the first doc, I didn't want to get back to him again. He seemed unsure of his own treatment when he issued me 5 different medication just for that. And that got me into trouble.

Today, after presentation, which was a torture for me because I could barely stand on my feet and I had to walk to the car and back since my mom didn't want to drive in, we went back to the leng zai doctor that first stabbed me with the tetanus injection. The moment I limped into his office, he was like, is it the rusty nail you stepped on? (I said nail cos screw just sounded tooooo wrong. lol)

I was like, erm no no... it's the other leg. and he seriously started poking and prodding HARD. I can't move my toe and he went pulling it in different directions. OMG! it hurts like crazy!!! it was funny cos he stab at the spot and when I said it hurts, he stab on it again asking the same question! lolz. but I honestly think that he felt more professional than the first doc that just went touch touch and declared the prescription.

Mom gave him the med, and he was totally horrified that the first doc gave me SOOOO many medication. in the end, he decided that I was most probably allergic to the painkillers and gave me another type.

When we asked what may had caused this, he told my mom it was most probably sprain toe joint but it could be caused by gout as well and she being the typical herself, latch onto the gout idea and didn't want to let go. They even discussed how did I get my urine acid. they finally came to the conclusion that it was hereditary. so for now, that means mummy dear is gonna force me to drink more of that green stuff that taste like green tea caused one of it's functions is suppose to be able to flush out urine acid. Is that true? I totally have no idea, but one of my family friend is taking it and claimed he hasn't have a gout attack since then.

Honestly, after taking the med, the pain in my leg subdue more than the first med. but that means the pain killer is way stronger. But now my toe could move!! at first when i put it on the ground, I can't bend it at all so it's sticking out literally like a sore thumb or rather TOE, but now i could flex it down and touch the ground. It makes walking easier, but it still hurts though not as much.

I asked for an MC so that tomorrow I could give it to Bill. I still want to avoid putting pressure on my leg so that means no heels for presentation tomorrow. it won't hurt to get an MC anyway. :D

So yeah. basically, it's on the healing process. FINALLY!! all thanks to the leng zai doc!! maybe it's just me thinking he's leng zai in a way. Mae, u saw him. what u think? lolz.

1@#@!

Now I don't only have a swollen feet that makes me totally immobile, I also have two swollen eyes thanks to allergy!! what the hell? oh yeah, the med that the doc gave which caused the allergy, one of which is a painkiller finally wear off. so it's not only swollen, it's hurting like sh*t. I dont even have the bloody luxury of offing the pain now.

Okay. I am gonna start cursing.

bad year for my leg

Yes. you read the title rite. It's a bad year specifically for my leg. seriously.

remember the 2nd last post that I made was about stepping on a rusty nail and getting a tetanus jab?

well, this post is also about my leg!!

The ball of my feet directly under the first toe on my left leg started aching when I walk yesterday. Since it was nothing new, I decided to ignore it. The pain will usually go away after I put weight off my leg. However, yesterday's ache was different. It lasted until now (yes, it's still aching) and it's painful to the point that I couldn't put weight on it which means walking in HELP and BV lopsided.

For the whole night, I couldn't sleep at all due to the constant sharp throbbing pain radiating from that particular spot. I withstood the pain until 6 am, when I literally burst out in tears. Went to talk to my mom about it, hearing her telling me that it's nothing really didn't do much for me.

Once the damp open its gates, I seriously couldn't stop crying. I think in just 3 hours, I cried like 4-5 times. the pain was becoming unbearable. Mom finally decided that it's not nothing and it's something, she asked my bro to take me to the doc. but I still had to wait till 11.30 for him to be free. so yes, for the whole night and morning, I was writhing in pain. The ball of my feet directly under the big toe is swollen, has intense pain AND I can't move my big toe at all. It's just there, the range of motion is totally gone!

At first, I thought that maybe I did something that caused a crack in the bone since the intensity is so high and I couldn't walk at all. But when I went to doctor, he poked and prodded and pronounced it inflammation although he changed his mind 2 times which is kinda scary. I was in the doc's office for like 2 minutes. Before my bro could park his car, I was done! He gave me 5 types of meds - 2 antibiotics, 3 for swelling and pain killers - I have to eat like 8 tablets of med in total twice a day!! scary!

It took the pain killer some time to take effect and the pain reduced to a slow throbbing. I have no idea if it's because of the pain killer or the ice pack that I dumped on it after reading on the internet that it helps with the pain. Whatever it is, I am glad that it's not as painful anymore.

But for the day, I am stuck on the bed, in my room since doc says no walking, no weight on my feet and no heels. which means, for tomorrow and thurs's presentation I will have to wear flip flops since that's the only shoe I can wear with the swelling. My other sandals are just too constraining.

I still have the consumer take home test to do but depending on my leg, I might skip out on this. After all, he say he will take only 4 out of 5 quizzes, so that give me the choice to skip if I want to. It largely depends on how everything is after my sleep - that if I can sleep with the pain (I only manage to get a total of 15 minutes shut eye since yesterday morning thanks to the leg)

well, isn't it a bad year for my leg? what you think? first stepping on a rusty screw and now this? Sigh... if I didn't take my tetanus jab and the screw jabbed my other leg (sounds wrong!), I would have thought that it was due to the screw. But since it's a totally different leg, I guess not. I suppose both of my legs are trying to get equal with the other? since one get hurt, the other must too? Sigh...

oh well, hopes it get better. and after doing some googling, I wonder if I am experiencing turf toe since the symptoms are exactly the same. Though turf toe is USUALLY caused by sports and I don't do sports whatsoever. but that doesn't mean I can't sprain my toe joints rite?

The agony

oh! the agony!

really, this sucks.

I stepped on a bloody rusty screw on tuesday. it literally went through my flip flops!! !@#$# freaking irresponsible people who did construction and didn't clear up after that.

so on wed, I had to drag Mae along with me to get a tetanus jab. hurts like shit wei!! not to mention that after every tetanus jab i take, i will definitely have fever and my arm muscles ache like crazy (this is the second time i take a tetanus jab, but i learnt my lesson not to underestimate it). so yeah, I am sort of having fever now, with it coming and going at it's wish, my arms hurts and i can't lift it up more than 90 degrees without it hurting and I can't sleep on my left side. *wails!!* even the cute doc i saw for the jab wasn't worth it. :(

so yes, I was really grumpy this morning since mommy dear didn't let me take the day off and I was really really moody this morning. so yeah, kesian to mae, eliza and another group member for being stuck with me and my short temper. SRY!!!!!!!!

i guess that's all for now. !@#!$!#@!# stupid rusty screw.

gah! i just realize how wrong it sounds wei!!!! haha....

Next week: Hectic

I am sooo gonna have a very hectic week starting from tomorrow.

I have a scouting trip, a marketing trip, 2 assignments due, 1 sales, and 1 quiz all by friday. And I am sooo gonna die.

At least I manage to achieve my goal of finishing my consumer behavior assignment by today. I sat down for about 3 hours and typed out everything that I want to write. Since it's a reflective paper, it's easier for me to write but I have no idea if I actually did the right thing.

Tomorrow afternoon, I will be going to scout for prizes for HMN event. then at night, I will be going to the pasar malam with Eliza, yee mun and riz to shop for our supplies for our marketing assignment sales on wed. Then, pass up 2 assignments (one which I havent started) on thurs and a marketing quiz on fri.

I expect by the end of this week, I am gonna drop dead. But I guess with the proper time management, I can do it.

Soooo not looking foward to next week...

p/s: jas, it's ur turn to update again! are we like taking turns to update? hehe...

Oh right....

Oh yeah!
forgot to add in the previous post~~

I got my ebook reader!!! it's here. and I absolutely love it!! now I can read my ebooks to my heart's content. Sigh.....

Look look!!!!

This is the packaging. Cantik rite!! lolz.

it's a Astak EzReader Pro 5" from US. took me quite a lot of effort to get it too!! First, buy it online, send it to Jasmine's place in Canada then send it back here since they only deliver to US and Canada =.=!! In total it took me about RM 1000+ to get it sent here. but I think it's worth it. Cause my 1 year worth of books bought from MPH can take up to RM 2000. and now with this, I can cut a lot from my book expenses. Not to mention that I can actually stop renting from City Book Rental.

it took me quite long to get my hands on it after I paid for it but it's worth the wait. Sigh... *sayang the reader* lolz.

Just wanna say,
Thank You Jasmine!! for helping me get this baby of mine.

I absolutely love it. Oh wait, I think I said it quite a few time already *shrug*

that's all for now!

Dreams

I have been having really weird dreams lately.

Mostly revolves around death, love and beating up people. Weird combination, but yeah.

Sometimes, the dreams are so vivid that I swear, I could actually SMELL it. When I wake up, being greeted by a blank of darkness with only a small night light illuminating in the small corner of my room, a sense of lost sort of washed over me.

I could still remember the dreams that I been having for the past 2 days and I just can't help but wonder...

Does these dreams symbolize anything at all?

Or it's just some vivid random thoughts that my mind came up with while I am sleeping?

On the side note,
Semester started this week. And I decided what subject I am gonna take. 5 subjects, with a combination of 1 year 1 subject, 2 year 2 subjects and 2 year 3 subjects. Some people say I am crazy, but I guess I will have to toughen up and really manage my time properly for this sem. Time to speed up some stuff. :D

Other random stuff....
Going out with the gang all dressed up tomorrow!
Can't wait for my e-book reader to arrive and save my eyes from the brightness of my laptop screen.
I am having both marketing and consumer behavior quiz next week! hope my brain will be willing to absorb materials by then.
Bought my new external hard drive! Finally!! My old one died on me. :(
AND I seriously need to go pack my room. hopefully, SOON!

That's all for now I guess,

OMG

OMG!! I am soooo gonna kill myself.

Okay. Claire's dead. seriously.

How could I make such mistake in the freaking finals??!! NOOO!! haha, dramatic betul.

seriously wei, after the business exam, talked to bill and he was like, we are all making stupid mistakes. and when he listed down the few that others had made, well, I made them too. it seriously made me wanna go bang my head against the wall when he say it. OMG!! *mortification*

Me. who had studied before Business admin with him, scored an A- before this making stupid mistakes. *bangs head against wall. oh wait, still alive ar? okay la, then nvm* Arghh!!

Okay, I am gonna follow Mae's advice to let loose a little. According to her, I am getting crazy over 'A' and in a way, I think she's right. If not I won't be agonizing myself over this. So... I am gonna take her advice and forget about it.

Now. Kapoosh! Gone. Out of my head!

Claire's new goal: to party for the 6 weeks!! yay!

that's better... :D

on the side note, Finals finally ended! yay! 6 weeks of hols. I am gonna let my brain turn into oatmeal in the 6 weeks just by sleeping, eating, going out and online. Ah! what a nice idea.

yesterday, I handled being alone a little better by switching on the TV and tuning to the radio. BUT!

yes, there's a big fat but.

BUT! there's a freaking lizard in the freaking kitchen sink that had freaking freak me out! it was just there, not moving at all.

I am such a coward. I tried splashing water on it so that it will run away, but in the end, guess who ran away. ME! I ran away 5 freaking times cos in the end I was so afraid of it running towards me that I just froze when I want to splash it. :(

AND! yes, there's a big fat and too...

AND! the freaking lizard that had freaking freaked me out yesterday is still in the freaking sink on the freaking same spot. Freaky! okay... so many version of freak I have in that sentence - freak, freaky, freaking, freaked... blah blah blah blah.

Yes. that freaking lizard is still at the same spot. Am sooo not going to disturb it (although it disturbs me a lot) unless someone volunteers to do it for me? If not I am gonna wait for my parents to come back tomorrow and do the "shoo-ing" and have them laugh at me. Hmmm, so any volunteers?

so, today is freedom day, so am going to sing K with Mae and SS. the others still have finals :PPPPP I am done!! *rubs fact in face* haha... but I suffered yesterday with 2 papers, trying to cram 3 subject into my poor brain which caused it to pound against my head and created a massive headache along the way.

hmm... today's post sounded kinda bubbly. Am I high on something? nah! can't be. ate nothing in the morning. Must be due to the lack of sleep and today my brain choose to be hyper while my eyes threatens to close on me. Am gonna get some shut eye at SS's place.

Oh yeah, did i mention that I am writing this post in Wisma HELP lvl 9 com lab? Currently waiting for SS to come back from the clinic with her mom so I can borrow her bed and crash. sleep has never sounded any better.

Overall, life's great so far (minus the mistakes - poof! out of my mind again - and the stupid freaking lizard). parents are gonna be home tomorrow nite, I think. I think la, it's tomorrow. and I get to see what they got me from Bali! I wanted to go Bali as well :( Stupid finals. *curse curse swear swear*

so yeah, finals over, "A"s are out of my mind - at least for the next 6 weeks (hopefully that they don't come back to haunt me), stupid lizard STILL in the sink (Oh God! what if it's dead and I don't dare to pick it up. Hey! there's a gecko pic in the business book and I squirm and had to cover the pic everytime I read that page k? so what made u guys think that I will actually touch one, albeit it's dead?) and I am gonna turn my brain into mush! yeah! life's great alright :D

It has wings!

Bah!! I can see my 'A' in Business Admin flying away.
NO!! come back!!

just got my overall results for Business admin. Got like 46/60. So, that means my A is gone. Unfortunately. I was sort of hoping for an A- but now even that's gone! Damn! I wanted back my old grades~ the one where I had a freaking A- for business but now, I suppose the best I can get is a B. there goes my motivation to study as well.

On the side note, just finished 1 paper this morning. Have another in 4 hours, and I am sooo not prepared for it. then Business admin at 8 tomorrow morning. :(

Still not coping very well being alone. yesterday, I could barely sleep thanks to all the weird noises outside the house. :( Sleepy~~

No! must study!~
