=(

Why is it that 2nd sem always gets depressing compared to 1st sem. I dont get it. Last year 1st sem was a blast, everything was fun, fun, fun. Same goes for this year. Then now that 2nd sem has started, i'm starting to feel depressed again like how i was the 2nd sem of last year. But i guess this depression is prolly due to how sick i am now. Hopefully when i recover it wouldnt be so bad anymore...?

Sigh. I am physically drained of energy. So much for feeling great during the sydney trip after feeling "sick" before going on the trip. ARGH. So damn annoying having to fall sick AGAIN after the trip. It's horrible..!! It's been more than 1 week already having a cold & as usual a super blocked nose that had to force me breathe thru my mouth instead. This then caused me to have wind in my stomach. Now, i'm suffering from a cold, stomach wind & difficulty burping & constant headaches & something out of place somewhere. I feel half-dead. ='(

Why is it that some ppl can burp so easily without even having to try!? I wish i was them. haih. Having this problem since last year is really..... FRUSTRATING. If there was something to explain more than frustrating. Even drinking warm water doesnt help me. Burping is so hard, i tell you. It only happens after having to rub my stomach or my back or swinging my hands or stg...sigh. How could it be so hard when ee lin could burp so many times just by drinking a cup of milk!? I really wish i could be her! boohooohooo. I am so depressed & anti-social right now. I think it's the wind in my stomach that's making me have a funny feeling in my head cos of the pressure or watever. Super sick. If i've got a cold minus the wind & the headache i'll still be fine. But not with everything...

.....

i feel like a balloon that i wish there was some sort of needle that could puncture somewhere in my stomach to let all the air out. Sniff. I feel SO terribly bloated that i'll only be ok if i burp as often as possible. To make matters worse, i find it hard to burp. But at least i even get to burp. Sigh. SOOOOOOO shittttyyyyy.......!!! Then again, i really thank god that my diarrhoea has passed but i really hope this mega-bloated-full-of-wind-in-my-stomach feeling will go away soon!!! It is SO friggin uncomfortable i cant even breathe or walk properly. Seriously, if i tried walking with a straight posture, i would waddle a little. I feel like a pregnant woman, the only difference is carrying wind instead of a baby. I'd rather carry a baby than to carry "wind" which is just so useless and causing more discomfort than carrying a baby would even feel. I wouldnt exactly know this bit but even if carrying a baby would give you discomfort, it'll still be more worthwhile. Get what i mean??? Sheesh. I really hope everything will be fine in sydney. 9 more hours till i leave for the airport. Is that supposed to be good or what??? I just hope this thing doesnt ruin my holiday-cum-pilgrimage. But with God, NOTHING is impossible. So i should just trust & believe that i'll be ok, then i'll be ok. RIghT?? Right. Still, i need prayers so i'll really be ok-ok..! Bah. Hate going on holiday when there's something not right with yr health.......

=|

I'm leaving for sydney in less than 2 days & i cannot stop going to the toilet today!!!

I dont even know wth is the cause of this!! What do i even have to pass out if i've already passed everything out - at least i think so? I mean, tell me. If you eat just 3 small main meals & go to the toilet bout 5-6 times, what do you have left to pass out!??! ARGH!!! At least i dont have any stomachache. =S Guess that's the only plus side to it. Gotta fish for the positive sometimes.

But goshhh...i really hope i'll be ok by tomoro man...sigh. I truly hope & pray so. ='(

my new hobby

IS walking.

i've been walking & walking & i've almost covered all the main horizontal streets in the map. lol. Now all that's left for me to cover of adelaide city is the vertical streets & just 1 more horizontal st.

Hopefully all this walking will really help me lose weight =S Fat's been piling on my stomach even tho i havent been snacking on unhealthy stuff for a while. Which is rather weird...Come to think of it, havent really been snacking at all. Oh well. Need to work harder. I miss PSC gym. sigh. But with the petrol price gone up, i wonder how often i can even drive to psc when i get back end of the year!

ahh. my new resolution is to walk for at least 1-2hrs per day. Ever since i finished exams i've been walking at least 1 hr plus per day. So gotta keep up with this. hahaa. & i've discovered so many things in the city i never knew were even there. Havent been along some streets before, even. And morning walks are so refreshing esp now it's been really sunny. Great weather these days.. mmmm.

right. will continue to walk & walk & walk...

scraping & recycling

Two different unrelated things. Since i've got all the time in the world, i decided to write about this. lol. I'm suddenly blogging so often arent i?? =D

i cant make a space btw my 2 paragraphs that i have to write stg!

First off with scraping. Must be wondering what i actually mean by that. But the word is basically just the word itself, and if you link it with food, maybe you'd have a better idea of what scraping is all about in my point of view. haha. It's just one of the weird (or unique perhaps?) things i enjoy doing besides the restaurant list and other bunch of weird things i might enjoy doing. lol. I think i learned more about myself having to live on my own & everything. Although before i came here, i already had the habit of scraping everything off my plate leaving it empty & clean after a meal (something i inherited from my dad), i never thought i'd enjoy scraping jars/bottles which are nearly empty. I just get the satisfaction of seeing the bottle becoming cleaner with every scrape & it's also very enjoyable being able to taste the little leftovers that's left in the bottle. The only setback is having the scraping hand aching after the job's completed.

I got to do some scraping this morning cos our Nutino (stg we decided to try out instead of Nutella - it tastes just like Choki-choki!! that choc strip we used to suck on when we were kids!) was nearly finished.

halfway thru the process

scraping done!

As for the recycling, i guess it only started thanks to exam period when we ate home a lot and had heaps of recyclable stuff littering the floor near the rubbish bin. Usually, we'd throw them all away together with the rubbish cos it'd be usually only 2-3 things which wasnt worth walkin to the recycling bin near our place. But cos it was exam period, our trash wasnt exactly full and we didnt want to throw the rubbish away so quickly when it wasnt full yet, thus, decided to pack all the recyclables into its own bags to provide space in the rubbish bin for other wet, dirty non-recyclable things. & since then, i think our recycling habit will be on-going. Which i am glad for =D

My mom instilled this recycling habit into me - something she started on not too long ago when i was in the later years of high school - that when i got here, i just HAD to recycle all my notes & papers from uni even if it meant having to walk to uni just to dump it all into the recycling bin. I just wish there was a recycling bin nearer our place!! Luckily there's one only a 3-min stroll away but that's still only for glass/plastic/cans. Wonder why there isnt one for cardboard/paper!! grrr.

It's funny how my mom used to nag me everytime she found anything recyclable in the main rubbish bin instead of the trash bag for recyclables. I always either forgot, or i had that dont-care attitude that i just threw away everything straight into the rubbish bin. But as the years go by, this habit has stuck to me that it's become part of my daily thing to want to recycle recyclables. I mean if you have stuff to save the environment, might as well dump it in a recycling bin instead of dumping it in another trash bin. Either way, you still have to throw them away, just in a separate bin.

all our stuff to be recycled, already threw a batch away last week! help save the environment!

this and another bag will be going into the paper recycling bin after my results come out!! just in case anything bad happens, i'll still keep all my notes and stuff. but hopefully i dont need them ever again.

Whew & i guess post-exam period really makes me post up looooong random blogs!!!

.......!!!!!!

WHO WOULD EVER BELIEVE IT IF I TOLD THEM I WAS DOING CHORES THE WHOLE ARVO!!!!!!

.......................

I can hardly believe it myself..!!!!!

Insanity!!! I dont even know how the hell it happened..! I started after lunch at bout 2pm. And since then i havent gotten a chance to sit down till now! & it's almost 7pm! GOodnesS! I think this is the first time EVER such a thing has happened to me.

Started off by cleaning and wiping my table and the objects on it then wiping the bedpost and watever that's got dust on it. Then changed bedsheets and took all my clothes and bedsheets & everything to the laundry room to do laundry. Goodness. I wasted 12 bucks on laundry today. 3 washing machines to wash my clothes, my bedsheets & covers & my quilt. How exhausting. I was practically going in & out of my room the whole day!! While the washing machines were doing their jobs i cleaned the toilet and then the sink. But still dont get how time could past just like that. FOUR friggin hours!!! Maybe even more than that. I was walking here & there till i got hungry. & i thought i'd finish by 5pm and then have time to exercise. How wrong was i! It's already dinnertime & i havent even showered.

My goodness. Have i mentioned how i despise washing my quilt cover. You gotta take the whole big heavy quilt out and after it's done you gotta put the whole thing back in & it's just SO bloody difficult to put it back in!!! Imagine having a big gigantic flabby pillow which you've gotta put into its cover. Goodness. Everytime i wash the whole set of my bed stuff, i'll always lose my patience. & it always leaves my back aching at the end.

When the time came to vacuum, my back was aching so terribly that i had to stand up straight so ever often in case my body snapped into two!! It was THAT bad. ouch ouch. =( Havent done chores for this long EVER. I seriously have no freakin clue how it even happened!!! On the plus side, at least now i dont have anymore chores to do & everything is sparkling clean! I just hope my back feels normal soon!! bah.

bye-bye alarm clock!

This is the first morning in what feels like AGES that i didnt have to wake up to Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" playing thru my mobile phone. I'm actually starting to get sick of waking up every morning to that alarm tune since uni began. Maybe i should change it to some other song. lol. I picked it in the first place cos it was the only "bouncy-like" positive & jolly-sounding tune to wake up to. The guitars in the introduction of that song just makes it really....mmph. nvm.

I started the day off really early today at 8.20am! Yea, even without alarm clock! Even ee lin had to go, "Whoa!! Why wake up so early!?". As if i cant wake up early. hahaah. xD It was weird, i tried to keep awake last nite but i started to feel soo sleepy even before 12! My body system must have gotten used to sleeping early & waking up early the past few weeks.

*sigh* i feel so blissful. like an extreme weight has been taken off my shoulders. If only this was an everlasting feeling, waking up every morning feelin like this. Sniff. But i guess if it was an everlasting feeling, we would've taken it for granted and not even know the blissfulness of it all. aha.

mmm..there's so much i plan to do today. Started off with self-grooming this mornin. Currently i've got my face mask on & it feels so cold & nice. lol. But then the painful part of my facial procedure will come later..which i utterly dislike. If only i've got clear skin without blackheads. Gosh. EVERY single time i do facial and extract them all, they'll still come back. Hell annoying.

Anyway, there's lunch to cook, then need to vacumn later, do laundry, wipe dust off my table(dont even know where all the dust comes from -_-) & wash the toilet & the sink..basically housework. How exciting!!! (meh). Then prolly more self-grooming like doing my nails and prolly finish off my restaurant list. hahaha. Yeh, i'm re-doing my penang "places to eat at" list. More choices this time! Dont know why i even enjoy doing such things. After i finish the penang list, im gonna start on the adelaide list. & how do i plan to do that? Walk around the city and jot down restaurant/cafe names that i come across while im on my way. har har. I thought doing this would be easier than googling cos i kinda got tired googling all those places in penang. So i thought i'd get a direct hands-on thing since adelaide city is so small and i get to exercise at the same time i take down food venues. lol.

ALrighty! Time to cook rice! Hope my fried rice tastes good. woooohooo. Everything in life seems so positive i cant be any happier. =)
