Sacrifice for Food

Once again! I told myself not to go out just for food but I did it again today. Class starts at 3pm and thus, I am usually home till around 2+ before taking the bus to Uni. However, its TUESDAY! Ikea has promotion for meatballs every Tuesdays. Instead of selling 10 meatballs for $6.95, it's half price which is $3.50! Jia Yin craved for meatballs so we decided to accompany her there! It's not so bad cause then it would be like going out for lunch before class. Right? But..There is always a but..

To get to Ikea, I have to walk to the bus stop which is 10minutes away and get on the bus from there. When we left the house, it was drizzling..It gets heavier and heavier. That was when I started to regret. Why should I get myself wet just for meatballs? Argh..Oh well..For the love of food I guess. Luckily for the good public transport in Adelaide, the bus came on time and we reached the bus stop on time. Did not need to wait and did not need to freeze.

One more thing, we saw a really cute boy today!! His name is Freddié! He is so lovable trying to impress girls. His hair is so nice spiked up. His eyes were so blue. Other than the fact that Freddie is only 1+ years. LOL..My friend actually said 'Freddie is not cute you know..He is HOT'.

Oh well..Ate 1 plate of meatballs, 1 long hot dog and 1 ice-cream for a total of $5.50! Reasonable..Meals that students can afford. And it taste good too!

Eww...

About 2/3 weeks ago, red spots started to appear on my right hand. Only on the four phalanges excluding the thumb. I don't know the reason for that but I thought it was some insect bites and it would heal in no time. However, they did not. Eventually, they looked worse and my fingers started to swell. My housemates said they were gross and adviced me to go seek medical attention. Well, I know I should. As a future pharmacist, I would advise people to go get something for it rather than just simply waiting for it to heal miracuosly by itself. But I was too lazy about it.

Finally on one Friday, I decided to show Madeline(4th year pharmacy student). She suggested that I should take antihistamines and it would be better if it is allergies. If not means it is something else and I would need to go to the pharmacy/doctor.

Today, I finally decided to go to the pharmacy to ask for help. I DONT WANT TO AMPUTATE MY HAND! LOL..Anyways, they tooked a look at it and touched my hands..I am suprised they dare to do that. They told me that it is probably Chilblain and gave me an ointment to apply on it.

From Wikipedia 'Chilblains are acral ulcer(ulcers that affect the extremities) that occur when a predisposed individual is exposed to cold and humidity. The cold exposure damages capillary beds in skin, which in turn can cause redness, itching, blisters, and inflammation.'...



My normal hand


My distorted right hand.. This picture does not clearly
show the severity of my condition. It's far worse than what
you are looking at now.


This small ointment cost me $10.50. That's freakisly expensive

Anyways, hopefully I will be able to come back here soon to tell you that my hand is alright..This pricey ointment will cure my fingers right?

Wish me luck!

One Two Three

In one of the houses in Taman Beauty is the house that belongs to the Yeong family. In this house lived 3 beautiful girls name Tammy, Jeslyn and Candise. They fill each other with loves, laughters and nevertheless arguments. Though they are now parted due to studies, those miles can never separate the bond they share among each other.


I

I miss them heaps!

A Chat

I have been spending time catching up with friends lately. One of them is PHAN AI YEAN! It all began after she left me a rather disturbing message on Facebook. It was written as such 'Sze.. when you gonna come online?! need to talk to you =('. She used the word, 'need to talk'. Doesn't that imply something serious or big? Anyways, move on, once I signed in on MSN, she started a conversation. I asked her what was the matter and she told me she just suddenly thought of me and wanted to chat. That was such a relieve. Nothing has happen or atleast nothing bad happened. We had a nice chat and it was for hours. LOL..During the few hours, I realized that she is turning into a nerd..Haha..So proud of her. She studies all the time and it only proves to me how lazy am I. Pressure on me. Today(Sat) we had our little talk again. It was fun.

She sent me a picture of us taken from High school graduation which was about 3 years ago. It brings back so much memories.. Those days where we would go to tuition together, go for aerobics class together and just eating together.

She makes me feel like going back even more. Then we can have those talk, food and laughter non-stop.LOL

Ps: Ai yean, we should talk more often and continue to be a nerd!

Rather long

Seafood..from Sydney Fish Market. The oysters were so so good.


I like this. But it actually reminds me of China. Taken from the stroll on Bondi Beach


The 4 adventurous traveller

My first time eating Tapas. It was yum yum.

The whole world knows what's this. I finally met with it in real life not in TV..Haha

Those are just some of the pictures taken from the trip last month.

I realized it was really a long time since I posted anything here. The last post was my second week of first sem and this post is written on the third week of second sem. I thought no one ever click on this pathetic blogpage but I was wrong. I went to Melbourne and Sydney during the winter break and it was really nice being able to meet with my friends again. When I met Shalini(friend from Taylor's), she asked me why didn't I update my blog? LOL..I would never imagine that she still visit this page once in a while..Thanks Shal!!

Anyways, semester started and I would say that I am really just relaxing and having a slow start. It's week 3 already but I still watch movie everynight. Gosh..I know it's bad but I just can't discipline myself. Will try harder though. As I was looking at the academic planner day before yesterday, I realized I have a test coming up..I have exactly a week left before that. And on week 5, there is a medication history test. Then, why I am still watching movie? I dont know. I guess, I am still at the holiday mood. LOL..Help me to help myself.

Another thing that bothers me for the past 2 week was this coming summer holidays. The initial plan was that I am going to find a job here and perhaps go back for CNY..However, mum called me the other day and she was convincing me to go home throughout the holiday. I know she started to miss me. It happens everytime about this time of the year. It was the same thing last year. So I looked through but there is still no cheap tickets. I dont know whether to buy now or to wait. What if the price goes up later? Or what if the price is lower then? I hate buying flight tickets. Its so unpredictable. So I ended up not buying and will see if there is any cheaper later. If not, then I would have to starve in order to get the ticket. The thought of going back excites me. How I wish I can fly home now. Like NOW...But this is life I guess...I dont even know why I choose to be out of Malaysia.

I should probably stop now and start studying. I am so screwed.

I promise to be back soon this time.

BYE!
