Came back on the 19th dec, approximately 1.30am in the morning.
My flight back wasn't pleasant at all, experienced air sickness. Should have gotten some Travelcalm(right product name or not, i don't rememeber) from the pharmacy.
Oh yeah, i was suppose to fly off from brisbane at 11.20am but it got rescheduled to 6.00pm. It sucked big time.

Anyways, been back for 5 days already. Time flies 'zoom zoom'.
Done quite a number of stuff, and also sweat a whole load of sweat.
Can't wait to do more stuff and eat more stuff and see more people.

Christmas is just around the corner, wishing you all an early merry christmas.

Don't think i would be updating much while i'm back.

ultimate laziness

woke up really early today, 5.18am
tummy infiltrated by killer butterflies
feel my gut being ripped inside out
churn churn churn
poor stomach going overdrive, sphincter unable to stand the pressure anymore
feels like barfing my internals out

gonna head to somewhere later on today
somewhere 'rural'
it's kinda a mini holiday with my friends
go see, look, experience
have fun
maybe go dipping in some sea to brush of the heat
definitely going to go hunt for food that they are famous for

so whilst on my trip
i doubt that i would be able to post any updates for a 'couple' of days

i'm officially going hiatus
would prob update a quickie whenever i'm able to do a quickie
and my next post would prob be next year

Daph loves to cook

I love holidays, gives me the chance to enjoy cooking =D
Ever since i came to Brisbane, i'm starting to love cooking a lot, but i never do have the time to actually enjoy it.
Time is always chasing behind me.

Cooked steak with roast carrots for dinner today.
It's not always tat i get the chance to enjoy a piece of steak that has been well marinated.

Ta-daa!!
Well it probably doesn't look as nice as those served at restaurants....
but it shall one day!

i love to cook!

summer cleaning

Decided to tie up all my 2008 notes to keep my room tidy and 'organized'.
Hopefully i won't need to dig it out again for my upcoming years in pharmacy course.
Done tidying up and now there is a whole stack of papers sitting right next to me.
Mini tower of something.

Stacked it all up and measured it.
29cm tall!
It was too heavy for me to weight it... Feeling tired and lazy to go get a scale and weight.

The stack compared to a nokia n70
Almost 3 times the height of my n70

Another picture from a different angle.

Most of my money is in this stack of paper.
Paper, printer ink, pen ink, electric, man power, internet d/l quota, staples, binders, paper clips, plastic sleeves, blood and sweat.
No wonder i am always broke T.T

Scary or not?
I bet next year's stack would be taller.

071206 seventh

Its the seventh day of summer today, and it is 31 degrees. Literally being roasted alive.

Despite the blazing hot weather, i woke up with a smile on my face today.
Had the sudden burst of urge to cook something different for myself for brunch.
*Well actually i wanted to save money by eating in =p


Been reading a couple of recipes from the net, steal some ideas and gain some inspiration.
So today i decided try out one of the recipes; okonomiyaki =D
Well the okonomiyaki i cooked did not turned out as pretty as the picture above (stole from google image), but it was delicious!
Not easy to flip the okonomiyaki around without breaking it into several pieces.

While enjoying my okonomiyaki, i decided to sit back, relax and enjoy a dvd; Things we lost in the fire.


AWESOME movie!
If u have not watched it yet, get off your butt and go get the dvd!

Not going to post any spoilers =p
You should seriously go and watch it yourself.

Anyways ^^''
The reason why i loved this movie so much is because it helped me understand more about heroin addiction, relapse, and the importance of support.
Studied it this semester but it was so abstract.
I know the facts, but not know what is actually happening real life.
So this movie really opened my eyes.

xxoo

Daphne is seeing light again!
Thanks lady luck for being by my side.

Placement hunting is seriously a pain in the arse.
Up and down, near and far i search for a pharmacy that would take me in, and teach me.
Before i enter, i enter with high hopes and confident, but when i exit, i exit with sadness and crushed hopes.
It is hard and tough, harder and tougher than exams.
All i want to do it sit on a rock at the corner and cry my eyes out.
It is just so tiring and disappointing, no light is ever in sight.

The only day i start seeing light again is when i know that someone has taken me in and willing to teach me.

Going to try my luck again tomorrow.
Oh lady luck, please be with me.

-daph-
sick and tired

wonder ponder

if i could just turn back time and not taken it lightly
i won't be in this very spot now
should i regret and whine about it? or should i take it as a lesson
i know that i won't learn from my mistakes, that is how stubborn i am
and i know regretting over it is just not me

i guess i would have to face it, full steam ahead on a white horse in shinning armor

hols

I'm officially enjoying my holidays to the max.
Loving the nice and cool weather, but not particularly in love with the rain.

Shopping shopping shopping
It's what every girl does best =D

Bough a new pair of converse, a pair of sun glasses, and new clothes.

Can't wait to do more shopping!

oral exam

It's 2am 14th of November now, and at 9am, i would be having my oral exam.

I am going to do some really last minute studying in a couple of minutes and then head to bed.
I had 7 freaking exams already and drive has been squeezed dry out of my system.
There isn't an inch of motivation left.

I just can wait to get it done and over with. After tomorrow's exam, i am free!
Well, free till result's day, aka, JUDGMENT DAY.
More like DOOMS DAY or DIE DAY for me.

oh wells, better start studying for my oral exam now.

Love hugs and kisses

PHRM2041 (Drug Discovery A2) tomorrow 10/11/08 at 1115hour

Initially i planned to study diligently for the whole day...
But knowing me, great procrastinator, i delayed and delayed and delayed till 9pm.
And i'm not even studying just yet... instead i'm blogging.

*round of applause*

I guess i would be pulling another all nighter tonight.
Burning the midnight oil. Hopefully i won't die due to too much carbon monoxide through inhalation.

Whipped out a can of redbull, and ready to start my V12 engine soon.
Wish me luck! and pray for me!

jog jog till really half dead

Let me teach you guys a valuable lesson, k?

Never ever go and jog full speed right after pulling an all nighter.

Yes, i stupidly did it without realizing its consequences.

For the past 1.5 months, i have not had any adequate sleep yet.
Been taking excessive amounts of caffeine, till there are a few noticeable changes, but its not a concern.

Anyways, back to me being stupid...

My mom went to the market with my uncle, and i decided to jog my heart out, hoping to get the adrenaline rush i was seeking for to keep me awake.
With the endogenous adrenaline i would be able to last through my exam paper later at 11.15am to 1.15pm without the need of caffeine.
But..... without thinking about the outcome, i rather do a little experiment and observe and experience the outcome myself.
Bravo to me!
Instantly i felt unwell after hitting the 500m mark. I could feel my whole system shaking and in desperate need of oxygen.
If i ran an extra 10m, i would have experience lactic acidosis =p jk jk

Once i felt unwell, i slowed down, and tried catching my breath.
Decided to stop.
Even after 30mins, i'm still shaking a little. Breathing and heart rate have not returned to normal yet.
Feeling a little nauseas and dizzy.

My body is trying to knock some sense into me -> "You dumbwitt idiot, stop putting me under soooooo muchhhhhh stressssss!!~~"

Well i learned my lesson.
I'm plain human.

It never seem to end


I'm scared about tomorrow's paper.
Every time i think about it, i could feel everything churn in me.
It gives me shivers down my spine.

I fear that i won't do well.

My heart pounds harder than a tiger pounds its preys

I'm practically going crazy over pharmacy.

I'm stressed out, and i'm not coping well.
I don't deal well with stress. Who does?


I should be studying instead of blogging now, but i'm experiencing a temporary mental block out.

Have you ever recorded what you feel when all of a sudden your brain seize due to the amount of studying? This is what i felt -

My heart rate increased dramatically
I felt extremely restless
I felt as if i would burst into tears
I felt angry too at the same time
I want to let it out, it has to come out, but what should be released?
I want to continue studying, but something is holding me back, its demanding me not to
All of a sudden it felt as if my blood pressure dropped
Feeling dizzy and having blurred vision
I stop and took a deep breath to clear my mind
Trying to bring myself back

Once succeeded to step back on the plate
The momentum to study has gone
But it has to be built up as quick as possible, there is no time.

How many countries can you name?
I got addicted playing this simple game, and i'm not that good at it. My best was 63 countries (after numeral times), first time i played i only scored 45 =(

It is 1.49pm now and i have a paper to sit at 2.30pm, and i'm sitting in front of my com blogging.

All i wanna do now is sleep. It's raining, it's nice and cold, the perfect weather to nap. But darn it, there is a paper waiting for me to conquer.

US presidential election is still going on, and i'm hopping for Obama to win. If he wins he would be the first black american to win, and this would change the world a lot. Hopefully it would change my country, change the way people think.

brain brain u look like walnut

How?
Exam at 11.15am, now 10.09am.. And i'm blogging...

Nerves twirl and swirl inside me, making funny sensations.

Feeling so sleepy and tired.
Did not had enough sleep not because i stayed up all night studying, but i blame it all on my brain.

Why does my brain has to keep on working?
I planned to sleep at 12am, but at the end i slept at 2am.
Brain was restless, i switched it off, but it had its back-up generator.
So it went on running till no power was left.

See now, brain used up all the power, no more power left.
How to go for "WAR"?

Tsk tsk
Anyways, i still love u brain.
Make sure can work efficiently ah, and pour out all the embedded information.

never ending love

By my side you stayed with me, day after day.

I start off most days with your companionship.

And i retire after 'tasting you'.

You fill me with warmth when i am cold inside, and when i need to chill you fill me with all the coolness i need.

You never failed to pull me up whenever i am slipping.

You were always there for me, without fail.

You are the reason for everything that happens in my life.

I'm starting to depend on you.

I'm addicted to you.

Without you, the only thing i experience are withdrawal symptoms.

There is no cure for my addiction.

This is how badly i need you, day and night.

If i could, i would inject you straight into my system intravenously.

I love you.

You are my saviour, you are my soul.

Oh my beloved coffee (caffeine), how could i live without you?!

coffee my mate

I can hear the clock tick... tick... tick... every single second

But how could a digital clock tick?


Hallucinations?

Schizophrenia?

Stress induced schizophrenia? or stress induced depression?

My best guess is that i am bullshitting awfully a lot due to stress.
Best way to de-stress now is to bang my head hard on anything and everything in sight.

pre-exam paranoia

I've been wanting to buy this very headphone by Bose for ages, but for some reason, lady luck is always wondering off salivating over the participants on Manhunt.
I get all excited whenever i see this very model being displayed for demo at stores, and i'll ask the sales people if there is one in stock, but it's always out of stock.
So today, for some reason, i decided to drop by NextByte (Apple shop) located on campus. Browsing around with one of my friend, the new nano caught our attention at first, but as i turned around, *WHAM* instantly it attracted me like a black hole.

Well actually kan....
i was thinking of getting a new nano bah that.... to motivate me with my studies =D
but but but.... new headphones were better!

Did most of my assignment till 5.30am this morning.
Got some sleep then head to uni at around 10am, had a 11am tutorial.
Finished early, came home, went out with mom, napped from 5pm to 7pm.

Dinner, tv and then back to assignments at 8/9pm.
Officially finished BIOM assignment at 11.45pm.

KITKAT

Ate a whole bar of Kit Kat, scrumptiously delicious.
Then i remembered about the china milk scandal! DAMN F***, did i just OD myself with malamine? Kidney stones here i come!
*CHOI CHOI* Touches wood and worship it hardcore!

Anyways, 22 people are arrested, but how many infants out there are hanging on for their lives? How many parents being slashed alive knowing that their one and only child is in danger??

Round of applause to 'YOU' people.

Oh, and for the record, the Kit k=Kat i just consumed is made in Australia. So i guess it's safe?
And i just realised on the back of the package it has a Halal chop =D
Save for Muslims to eat, YAY!
-not being sarcastic or a racist ah-

Kit Kat, i love you so much that it kills me. All the exercise i have just done today is literally being flushed down the toilet =|
Oh wells i can't blame you for being sexiliciously succulent

HOLS HOLS HOLS

Floor at Merlo's.
While waiting for my coffee, i looked down and can't help myself but to snap a pic.
I love my red converse (i love all my converse).
Love my shadow and the ground too.

On my way to Merlo's i thought it would be cool to snap a few pics of my uni.
This is the Law building (Forgan Smith building), they've got mini gargoyles (too small to see).
I loved how the sun 'posed ' for me.

Had lunch with a few of my friends before we head to the library to finish up our pre-tuts..
Oral contraceptive pills are the hardest to understand, but thanks to tuts, we got our heads around it.
Need advice? I'm your woman!

We love tuts and we really enjoy it.. and my friends and i love to 'monkey' around..
They wrote and stuck all this stickers on me..
i doubt anyone can swallow me whole (except pythons)
me yum yum? SO TRUE!
Keep frozen, a must! I melt in hot weather = Yuck Yuck

Holidays officially started for me yesterday!
I could jump over the moon a few million times.

Spring has started and the weather is getting warm (more like too hot for me). I miss winter, i love the cold. I'm more of a winter person =D (hence 'keep frozen')

I realized that i've grew fonder towards photography... I want a DSLR camera...
I got my eye on the new EOS450D but it cost too much T.T
All i have now is my N95 -.-''
LOL
anyone wanna donate me some *ka-chings?
I accept all major credit cards, cheque, cash and direct debit.

-daph-

Stop and look.
Look at everyone around you.
Look at everything you have.

Isn't it enough?
Knowing you it's never enough...
But when is enough, enough for you?
Some people do not even have anything, all they have are things/stuff they never wished for.
You do not know the value of anything and everything.

Do not say that i do not know anything because I'm younger then you, because I dare say that I do know more than you.
You think that I'm constantly under my shell, being ignorant towards everything happening out there, this only shows that you were the one 'snuggling' in your blind bubble cause you did not saw anything happening, you even missed everything that happened in front of you. You think everything runs your way, everything has to work based in your 'theory'.

WAKE UP DUDE! You did not created this world, you do not have the power to say anything and everything you want.
Open your senses and except others.

You think that you are the only important thing is this world and every has to revolve around you.
Everyone has to adjust to your liking.
When you don't get thinks done your way you throw a fit or a tantrum.
And now you want to give up because you do not like the things happening in your life.

It seems as if you are a 'never ending apocalypse', how long do i have to wait till it ends?
Or do i have to wait till a lot of them have to be sacrifice before the 'day of awakening' arrives?

an entry b4 entering Hiatus mode

This couple of weeks has been a real ride for me.

Been emotionally affected by the PHRM2010 lecture series.
Every word that relates to me i could feel it.
Never ever a pleasant feeling, it's just one of those things that wouldn't turn nice no matter how hard i pray.
I tend to shelter it from everyone, don't blame me but it's just something that i do not want to share.
Don't ask me what is it that i keep so tightly bound in me, all i'll say is nothing.

Had one day packed with fun, but i was totally dried up towards the end of the day.
For the first time in my life, i played netball!
And i did not sucked that much =D
It was tiring, and the only downside was that on the day we played, it was the hottest day ever! The sun was blazing HOT! It burn right through my skin... now i've got rosy-cheeks, which hurts a lot!
As most of you know already, i hate sunburns!!!!
Sadly i did not applied my layers of sunblock because i never did had to during the winter period.
After netball, which ended around 1pm, the malaysian society organized a bbq lunch.

My friends and i headed home after that to get ready for riverfest.
Riverfest was awesome as usual =D
Fireworks plus the jet? (those planes which army uses for battle, yang got api keluar from the exhaust pipe? (got kah on jet?) to make them go faster).
It was plain awesome.

After it ended, we headed to the city looking for dinner. Looking for a place to eat was HARD! But we managed to find some food at Little Singapore. Food was alright, so was the price. Had Prawn mee, which was no where as nice as Olde Town? or was it the other shop yg Laine tidak suka? I lupa lah nama kedai tu.

Took the bus home and reached home around 11? 12?
Head straight to bed.

Love hugs and kisses,
-daph with rosy-cheeks due to sunburns-

HIATUS MODE!
-sorry kim, i've not had the chance to complete the tag.
-sorry guys, i said early that i would post some pics up, but time constriction issue.

Am i an insomniac?

Not much stuff happening lately, except for the overly gruesome uni workload.

Today is the 5th day that i woke up at 4am in the morning automatically, with only 4 hours of sleep each day is not enough to keep me alive and kicking throughout the whole day.

This morning i decided to dose myself with caffeine as it would a be a long day for me (lecture from 9-12, placement from 12.30 to 4.30). It's been quite a while since i took coffee in the morning (used to take a cup of coffee everyday last semester), and I have never experienced hyperactivity from caffeine before. First 2 hours of the lecture i felt normal, till the third hour when i started feeling a little agitated. I had a hard time concentrating and i could not sit still, my hands were sweating and shaking unconsciously. My heart started to beat faster, and it was as if it was beating outside it's cavity.

I started to feel sick, i just wanted to head home and bury myself into a deep sleep.
But i couldn't miss this placement or i would have to replace it on another day, which i do not have that extra day. I tried drinking more water to help lower down the blood concentration of caffeine, which did helped a lot (thank you chem/pharm).

I had something to fill my tummy before heading to the pharmacy to do my placement, practically had to drag myself into the pharmacy.
Throughout the whole 4 hours placement session, i could feel every single drip of energy leaking out of me like a busted gas tank; i felt like superman being affected by kryptonite.
I survived the 4 hour session, and barely hanging on, i was walking on jello.

On the bus i was pondering why is today 'weak daphne day'.
How 'd-ooh' could i be?
No duh it is 'weak daphne day', i have not been getting the sleep i need to rest my body efficiently.

Had a huge dinner today, pho, delicious! and stomach satisfying.
My bro, a friend and I decided to have a look at an asian supermarket, and see what junkfood we could purchase to gorge on =D
Walking through the aisle, all of a sudden my heart wasn't feeling well.. I could feel my beat and heart rate going wild, my veins were pumping with blood, my pulse was pulsating like mad.
It is how my body is trying to shout and grab my attention, "You bloody hell need to rest! ASAP! PRONTO!"

I should be getting some rest now, but i just finished printing out my notes and which i still have not looked through yet. I've got an assignment to do, and i have not taken my shower yet. And also i needed to post this entry before i continue killing myself silently =D

Joking joking
I'll shower after this and head to bed. Try and get a good night's rest.
If i couldn't fall asleep or if i wake up at 4am again tomorrow morning, i'll then do some of my work =D

I took some cool pictures yesterday when i went shoe shopping, i needed a new pair of running shoes. Got myself a pair of nike free 7.0, and put it on the test straight away leter that day. Loving my new nike-s =D

Better start showering now, I miss you guys!
Love hugs and kisses!

frozen in time? i wish

Studied on 'Diseases of the adrenal gland' not too long ago.
Cushing's syndrome, Aldosteronism, and Addison's syndrome.
Learning on the surface is easy, but once i tried diving in a little deeper, everything got harder. But at the end it wasn't too bad. I would still have been studying instead of typing this entry, but it is just too cold for my brain to function.

It's 8 degrees now, and it may fall to 6 degrees minimum tonight. It's 8 and i'm already turning into a popsicle, what would happen when it drops to 6? Frostbites?

I'm so gonna bury myself underneath my nice warm quilt now. I can feel my fingers and toes slowly turning into ice...

pseudo hiatus mode?

2nd year, 2nd sem...
Bigger, meaner and much much more demanding.

By the end of the day, it feels like i've been taking full blown punches right in my torso.
I could feel everything in me wanting to erupt out. Exhaustion dominates my entire system.
Once i reach home, i slump straight onto my bed, slowly breathing in and out as if i did not had the energy to breath.
But as i realize the time showing on my alarm clock, i had to drag myself off my beloved bed, and start doing everything i must.

It's only the third week and i'm showing prominent signs of fatigue. It seems as if i'm the shadow of my own shadow.
It's dark and mono.
Deprived from everything except uni workload.

In need of a spark.

I miss home, i miss my parents, i miss my friends.

It's been awhile since i updated my blog.
-Pseudo hiatus mode-

'it' arrived brissy

It's 2153 Brisbane time now.
Sitting and staring blankly into the screen constantly pondering bout home.
I left home without my heart and soul.
Before i even left HOME, a rush of homesick blues came gushing through.
Holding back tears took every single strength i could muster.
I thought i had the strength in me to hold it back, but i underestimated my feelings, it was way more powerful.
Uber emo was what i was when i left my beloved home.
Saying goodbye and hugging my parents before i went through the gates was so difficult for me.
It killed and ripped my inside without mercy.
Am here now as an 'it'.

I freaking miss Home right now, i miss my parents, i miss all of u guys, i miss everything.

Uni starts tomorrow, hoping that god would give me the strength i need to get through my first day of a new semester.

*Pics would be uploaded soon
*016 number is alive and kicking

Off to 'flood' brizzy now.

Finally done with exams..
Tears of joy =')

sleepy -.=

It's 4.32 am now, and i'm still doing really last minute studying for my exam at 8am.
My heart is pounding faster than normal in it's cavity. It feels as if i'm about to experience tachycardia.
Blood flows away from my finger tips into my brain, when i close my eyes and truly concentrate i could feel it pulsating, could also hear my heart beating, 'lubdub, lubdub'.
The adrenaline rush i feel today is more than normal.
I wish i could sleep, but this is the price i have to pay for not studying for the past few days. I guess one never learns from their mistakes (eg. last minute studying).

I can't wait to get this over with and start packing my bags.

Would be back home soon!!

Love hugs and kisses

missing heart

Yesterdays paper, BIOM2009, was a disaster for me.
It's one of those post exam paper feeling, where u come out of the lecture hall with your heart left at the seat.
It was horrible, i was struck by the fact that i'm a dumbo in this course/subject.
I was striped off from all hopes of even obtaining a decent mark for this paper.
All i wish and hope is to pass this course. I don't care about the gpa, i just want to pass. I need to pass.

Next paper would be PHRM2020, not an easy one. In fact it's another super duper hard one. It's more of a chemistry subject and i do not blend well with chemistry at all. We are immiscible.
I should start studying now, to avoid leaving my heart behind again.

Wishing and hoping for the best everyday.
Praying harder and harder by the minute.
Missing each and everyone of you by the second.

Seeing you guys in a few days!!

Love hugs and kisses

today. 16/6/08

I've got a BIOM2009 paper to sit at 8am.
And now, 6am, it's 9 degrees outside. It's freezing, and i'm feeling very reluctant to take a shower, but i need to take a shower to start my day fresh. My fingers are freezing and so is my booty.
Today's exam isn't an easy one, but i'm going to give it all i've got. No turning back, full speed ahead!!
This exam would be my 6th exam. Another 2 more on Friday and i would be free! Then i'll be home by Saturday!! =D

So tempted to go shopping after my paper, need to shop to relax.. Retail therapy!
But then, shopping when you are broke would induce more stress... Retail torture!

I can't decide if i should or shouldn't.
Very indecisive lately.

Love hugs and kisses

not so nerdifi-ed

BIOM2009 aka Human Physiology & Pharmacology A I..
This course/subject is a pain in the arse... It's giving me a tension headache, and i'm very tempted to pick up a textbook and whack it on my head.
I'm trying to keep my mojo intake, staying tranquil.

Anyways, can't wait for another 6 more days!

Going to continue nerding now.

Love hugs and kisses

exams... blek

Exam number 4 in an hour and 15mins.
Feeling pretty shit now.
Initially planned to pull an all nighter but i got too tired around 6am. Decided to sleep till 8am, but was only able to shut my eye till about 7am...

After exam number 4, i would have to study for exam number 5 (which is tomorrow's paper). I have not touch even a single bit of this subject =.="
I don't think i'll be able to pull another all nighter...
Can't wait to finish today and come home to my beloved bed..
Then start studying again when i wake up X.x

Anyways, crappy me posting a crappy entry just to kill time and to get over my nerves..

hungry and sleepy

12/6/2008

Had my oral exam today, hope it went a-okay.
Was nervous most of the time, and i think the tutor could tell instantly by the sound of my voice. But i think i did not did too bad, i'm praying hard. Wishing and hoping for the best now.
Would have another exam tomorrow, and i've not started studying, instead i'm here updating my blog =D blog therapy?
This is the first time in my life that exams has dominated over me. I have officially developed insomnia, and i'm not liking it at all. Getting insufficient sleep hurts every single angle, specially when it's exam period.
Since i'm studying to become a Pharmacist, i've decided to make good use of my newly gained knowledge and got myself a strong sedating anti-histamine to help me sleep =D Doxylamine, best drug i've ever purchased. Really does helps me sleep, but i do not achieve REM. So quality of sleep is not satisfactory.
Anyways, there is so much that i would like to jot down here today, but guilty is flooding my insides. I need to start nerding and induce more harmful stress into my vulnerable system.

Love hugs and kisses!
Take care guys!

the not so happy me

Eight major exams.
One down, and seven more to go.
Tomorrow i would have another one, and after that straight back to studying. Going to study and practice for my oral exams.
Today have not been any where great for me. From a scale of 1 to 10 i would only rank it 1. It's just dark and miserable for me today. I would have ranked it 0, but because i ate a nice ice-cream i therefore gave my day a ranking of 1.
I can't wait to get my arse back home where it belongs, i just need to be home right now enjoying my bed, home cooked food, astro, friends, music, jamming, sports, weather! and everything nice about HOME.
Sadly home is no where near yet, before home i still need to tackle 7 high hurdles ahead of me. So far i'm not getting that optimum level of 'nerdbido' (aka libido for nerding), i'm like a dried up prune. Or it could be that the price of petrol is hiking like mad that i can't afford to 'tambah minyak into my engine'?

Anyways, about the recent humongous increase in petrol price back home, i think it's too much for us citizens to handle. They sell petrol at such a high price, forcing everything to 'naik harga', but i don't see people getting a raise in their pay. Ironic? What do you think?

Now i'm going to get back to my studies and prepare myself for tomorrow's paper. I'm going to force my day around if i like it or not.

Love to dance like them

I just love this dance routine by Sabra and Dominic from last year's So You think You Can Dance

I bitch about my life every single time something doesn't go the way i want it to. I seldom share the happy things that happens in life. It just seems unfair for 'Life'.

Today was a nice day for me =D
I slept at 4 am, i stayed up studying then went to bed till 12.30pm when my bro woke me up.
Went for lunch, had Miso Katsudon from Hanaichi at Indooroopilly. It's the only thing i order from that food stall. After lunch we headed home after sending Nadia and Urip to uni to sit for their IELTS oral exams.
Reached home, head straight for my computer and listened to music, and studied. Usually i would watch some DVDs or play some games on wii, but since exams are just around the corner, i'm practically burying myself 10 feet under all my notes.
At 6 pm, i went and played some tennis with Carmen and Mark. Wei Ling came to watch us play. Enjoyed the exercise as i'm getting 'skinnier'. Studying is such a fattening activity, all you do is just sit down there and stuff knowledge into your brain, not much of a calorie burning activity.
Had dinner at 8 pm at A Night In India with my bro, Nadia, Carmen, Mark and Wei Ling. Order a couple of dishes and shared. The food was good but it would have been great if it weren't either too sweet or too salty.
Funny thing happened when i ate the Punjabi Curry (curry cooked with mushrooms, herbs and beef), it triggered a migraine/headache on me. All of a sudden my head started to spin and i was feeling nauseas. But i felt better after drinking a lot of water.
Head home after dinner and watched previous episodes of Grey's Anatomy. I know i'm suppose to be studying, but the mood is just not there.. No point forcing myself to study when i know i won't understand or remember anything, so that is why i'm typing this entry =D

It won't be long till i would be back in kk!
Can't wait to go back home!

Love hugs and kisses!

EXAMZ!

Haiyoh, how? HOW? Exams are coming and i'm no where near prepared to sit for any of the exams T.T I'm in desperate need for extra time!
If there is a way to get extra time. Let's say what if you would be able to make a deal with someone with the powers to grant you extra time? Like selling your soul to the God/Goddess of time (erm maybe the opposite of god/goddess)? Would you??? Your soul for extra time?
Random thoughts.
Anyways, freaking out from the amount of time i have left to cram everything into my brain before the exams.
But making the impossible, possible. Isn't it what everyone tries to do?
Anyways, i would be flying back HOME soon! Can't wait to go back home...
Missing you guys!!
love hugs and kisses
take care

-love-

Tenori-On

Daphne loves her wii and she's getting this!

Assignments

I had a few assignments, which i have finished and handed in.
Assignments are very demanding! Take take up so much time and also it causes depression, you could actually feel the aura of stress from the assignment itself.

Anyways, the last assignment was so long that i had to scroll up and down the document on words that my mouse officially hates me! It won't scroll down anymore T.T It only allows me to scroll up and not down... sad sad
i so need to go get another mouse..
Hmm maybe i should just go and swap mine with one of the uni's mouse? hahaha
i would so get kicked out of uni for that =p

missing you guys! i will be back soon!!!!

love hugs and kisses!

update

Corona!
Best medicine when you're down and blue

'Sexy shoes for sexy people'
'Elegant sexy seductive ............. irresistibly FEMININE'
'It's all about.... FOOT ARCH'
An advertisement outside an Italian shoe shop...

Look at the sky, on the right side of the sky in the picture is clear, and the on the left is yellowish-brownish-greyish?

After minutes taking the pic above this pic, i took this pic next. Raining mad, strong wind (poor trees). And they said it was actually hail, but i can't see any ice around...

KRISPY KREME has finally arrived to Brisbane!!

12 scrumptiously delicious donuts!

vain vain vain.. well i was actually procrastinating.. too lazy to study ><

=.=''

Feeling extremely hungry now, i would whip up something to fill my poor tummy, but it's 1.06am now and i should really be heading to bed. Like every other weekday, uni starts at 8am and my day starts at 6.30am.
Formative exam yesterday(Thursday) was extremely hard. All the mistakes that we had to spot on the labels and scripts were beyond microscopic! I guess the school is trying to really plant the idea that there is no room for mistakes! Not even a single tiny mistakes or we would get our arse and wallet fried in the real world.
On my way home, i grabbed some lunch and borrowed some comic books from the library. Ate lunch alone at home while watching my favorite cartoon, Southpark.
At around 1 plus, headed into my room and took a 3 hour nap! The best nap ever! But while i was napping i accidentally knocked my phone off my bed and the inner screen cracked!!! Wonderful.... I guess it's a sign for me to get a new phone?? ^^ haha

I guess i should be heading off to bed now..

Love hugs and kisses!
-peace-

Weird? ET?

Weird things has been happening to me, well i'm not sure if you would call it weird...
Remember that awful cough that i mentioned a month or so ago? Guess what? I'm still coughing but i have learned to adapt to it and live on life without noticing it at all.. 'EVOLUTION'? or natural extincts for a human to learn to adapt to things?
A few days ago, i got home around 6pm feeling extremely tired to the max! And i was detremined to sleep at around 7pm, but instead, i procrastinated on SLEEPING till around 1 or 2am! How could i procrastinate on sleeping? Homework, studies or assignments i understand.. BUT SLEEP??? I felt like an idiot...
And this morning i woke up to an extremely numb leg, it felt as if i was experiencing phantom limb minus the pain.. I couldn't feel my leg at all, i wasn't even sure if my feet was touching the ground when i was walking. It took a huge afford to walk up or down the steps.. Did not had much balanced and it felt like my muscles on my numbed leg was deteriorating as it didn't felt like i could stand on it alone.
Anyways, got to go sleep now.
I have a Formative Exam paper to look 'forward' to tomorrow, bright and early in the morning (8AM).
Love hugs and kisses

everything is all about you

u think that we are your source of information
u 'grab' like it's a free flow buffet
have you ever stop and ponder how it affects us?
sharing is caring and it's how this relation works
*give and take some*
but instead, it's more of a -> you taking as much as you can just for your better sake
when we say something about it, u tend to blow off like a bloody torpedo ignited from an erupted volcano
and what hurts is that after u telling us off, u act as if nothing happened
- u may be able to go on with it, and we may just brush it of or just forget about it-
but once u pass that threshold u would never get a say

*everything revolves around u and u only~~~

you are always so good at putting a smile on someone's face
you tend to know what someone likes
without fail you give someone what they really want
but that someone is never me
you tore me but you never seemed to mind tearing me up more
i don't know what to say or do
i need to scream, specially at you

a star shines

Exam timetable has just recently came out, and i couldn't help myself from stressing and creeping out even more. I always advice my friends so chill or relax when they feel stressed out, but how could i not grab hold of on my own self and calm down? Ironic is all i feel at this very point in life.
Anyways, scrolling down the extremely long timetable and taking down the time and date for the courses i'm taking on a piece of paper, once done, i reflect on what i've written. i've got 8 exams, from th 7th to the 20th of June, it's bloody scary!

PHRM2040 - 07/6 - 8AM
PHRM1010 - 10/6 - 11.15AM
PHRM2010 - 13/6 - 11.15AM
PHARM2030 - 14/6 - 11.15AM
BIOM2009 - 16/6 - 8AM
PHRM1010 - 18/6 - 11.15AM
PHRM2010 - 19/6 - 2.30PM
PHRM2020 - 8AM

8AM exam during winter is the worse time ever! I had a few in the past, and i didn't liked it at all, i couldn't get my head together, it was as if i was experiencing constant brain freeze. Neurons firing like mad as if i had epilepsy, i feel disorientated and loss.
Not a pleasant experience at all.

Anyways, thanks to my brother's friend, Nadia, 'the other side of the grass' seems to be a lot brighter now. She helped me ask a friend of hers if there is a placement spot for me at the pharmacy he is working at, and earlier today he gave her a reply saying that there is! So Nadia broke the good news to me, and i would have to go there tomorrow around 10AM to 4PM to hand in a CV personally in person =D
Despite the cascade of bad luck i had earlier this week, this is the greatest news ever!

a string that never ends..

Another day saturated with horrible luck, nothing seems to be favoring the nice and bright side.
The other side was emo-ly dark and black. It all started on Tuesday, i self declared is as 'FAIL on me technology' Day, every single computer i touched failed on me and with out doubt it hanged on me! All i wanted was to print my notes out as my printer at home decided to crash on me (WONDERFUL). They were add on dramas that happened on that day too, but too lazy to explain now..
Thursday (1/5/08) - declared as pay back day by some people (pay back for April's fool)
I guess someone out there (maybe up there) decided to play a little prank to test my patience...
Jerry, Rachel and I went for placement (internship) hunting at the city. Finished tutorial at 10am and headed to the city straight (reached at 10.30am), and placement hunting we went. I dressed up to look more professional and to give a good impression, i looked stunning without any doubt ^^.
Our hopes where high and we were filled with energy, so we went to the first pharmacy that came in sight, no luck. Then to the second pharmacy, no luck. =( to the third pharmacy, NO LUCK! And all this happened in 10 mins..
Looked arounf the whole city, but still not even a single spark of light for any of us. So we decided to head to Indooroopilly hoping that it would be 'brighter' there.. Rachel did not followed as she lived far from Indooroopilly, so it was Jerry and me who continued our hunt.
Took the bus there, asked every single pharmacy available, but yet again, no luck. We were loosing hope fast, and starting to become desperate, so we took the train to Auchenflower. From Auchenflower to Milton to Paddington to Southbank and finally to West end... Asked every single pharmacy that came into sight, every time we spot a pharmacy, hope start glowing in us with all is might, but was quickly 'put off' by these words, 'I'm sorry, but we can't take anymore students as we already hv 3 (varies from 1 to 5 )students doing their placements too....' Jerry and i were on the edge of crying....
Not only that we did not had even a single luck, the worst thing is that we walked more than 10km maybe even 20km! My ass aches deep shit now, and my ankle hurts like hell... And I'm drained dry from energy.
All i want to do is slumped into bed, but my stomach is growling like mad! Needs to be feed before i would rest =D

Oh, Jerry and I sort of broke into tears when the bus that we had been waiting for ages left us when we left that bus stop.. We tried to chase after it, but it was mission impossible.. CURSES!!! While waiting for the bus, some idiotic mosquitoes decided to drink some free cocktail off me.

Wishing and praying for hope and luck the next time i go placement hunting.

Love hugs and kisses!

The very desperate student pharmacist

cleaning my colon

Let me introduce to you guys what i've been taking for the past 4 days, Metamucil, orange flavor.
The taste wasn't that bad, thinking bout it, it ain't too bad at all. For those who do not know what Metamucil is, it's a fiber drink that helps with your bowel movements and also helps reduce cholesterol.
Anyways, thanks to the advertisement on tv and the great sales they had on Metamucil, i decided to give it a try. It's classified under AUST R (medicines assessed for safety, quality and effectiveness), so i guess it won't do harm trying.
=D trying to be as healthy as possible, need to be a healthy pharmacist, so my future patients would have faith in me.

I'll probably try a detoxing program one day when i've got the chance.

ooo btw Metamucil really works, makes me go to the toilet more. Feeling a lot cleaner and healthier already ^^

getting too old to try everything

Been too busy setting up a bright future that i've forgotten to do what i wish to do as a youth. Time flies by just like that, don't look back or you'll miss everything.
I wish i had tried everything i wanted when i was younger, like taking music lessons, or did some crazy shits, now that i've grown 'old' and too busy for everything, it really makes me wish i could turn back time and get my hands into everything i could get into.
For a few months now, i've been wanting to get a violin and sort of self teach myself by referring to the free lessons online, but every time i enter a music shop hoping to get a violin, the very first thing that strikes me is, do i even have time to touch the violin?
But then again, if i don't start now, when would i have the chance? Right?
Reading didus's blog about her electric guitar makes me itch around to go get myself an electric guitar too!! ^^ (D@mn u diduds!! jk jk)
Went to the music store yesterday and they had this great starter pack deal, electric guitar + amp + gig bag + guitar stand = $400 (RM1200)
not too bad of a deal right?
Should i get it or not??

Had a formative exam on Wednesday, well not really a real exam but sort of a peer assessed
exam to give us a taste/feel of how the exams would be.
It smacked me hard, it's a sign that i should really start pumping knowledge into my very empty brain. It creeps the arse off me every time i think about exams, 30% of last year's 2nd yr students failed their oral exam! Freaking 30%!!!!
I do not want to fail T.T
I have not failed before and i do not wish to start now! (tests doesn't counts, major exams only)
Failing is not an option ><
Oh well i guess i should really start studying now =p

And also i've been thinking of you guys so much lately ='|
missing each and everyone of you!!

Love hugs and kisses

defeated by my own thoughts

Being sick for so long, is getting my parents worried.
My family have been in a way pretty 'superstitious'.
So yesterday they went to the temple to ask for a 'remedy' to help me get better.
I choose to be a pharmacist, and by trying the 'remedy', how should i feel/think.
And what if the 'remedy' does work?
It defeats me inside to actually see the point for me to continue studying pharmacy.


Troubled by all the issues revolving around me,
my strength to stay standing has a limit.
If i were to fall and be defeated (in that area), mustering the strength back would be an effort that might as well not exist.
I might as well dip myself into some other field, with a fresh start.

tsk tsk

It's been about 3 weeks since i've been having this 'cough', yes 'cough' as even the GP isn't sure what i'm having.
No mucus, no temperature, no infection, no asthma, no allergies, nothing except for dry cough that acts up at night and in the early morning. And also i've been wheezing a lot, and also been taking 'unsatisfied' breaths, expiration and inspiration .
Went to see the doctor twice, the second time she prescribed antibiotics and if i do not get any better by Thursday (which is today), she told me to go to the radiologist to get a chest x-ray.
So today after uni, i head straight to the radiology center, taking a chest x-ray took a few minutes.. but to get the x-ray and results, i had to wait for more than an hour! I sort of got a little too tired and started 'fishing', the receptionist realized and she asked if i was ok =p
After more than an hour wait, i finally got the x-rays and results, but it was sealed and only to be open by my GP >< it was pretty disappointing not being able to look at my beloved lungs.
Again, i would need to go make an appointment tomorrow for Tuesday with my GP.

^^

week5 heading to week 6

Week5 of university was jammed with everything to prepare us fellow students into becoming a good pharmacist.
First few days, we learned about common colds and flues, including allergies. Wasn't an easy topic as it required us to really know what signs and symptoms that a disease/sickness have and what's the difference between everything. To add onto that, we had to know what drug to prescribe and the dosage too, not to forget that we had to figure out if it would cause an adverse effect if the patient is pregnant/breastfeeding/taking any other drug/have any other medical history/allergies/etc.
After cold, flues and allergies, we head on to rheumatoid. One extremely long topic. The lecture helped us understand more about the disease, how it happen, where it happen, and the differences of different rheumatoid. Interesting topic i have to say, but also a very challenging topic.
Had 2 labs this week, one on solubility and the other on competitive antagonist. Wasn't too bad, had fun on the competitive antagonist lab as the end of the lab marks the starting of the weekend! =D
Today i slept like a pig.. Slept around 4am till 9.30am, woke up to cook myself a nice warm meal, then watched Robots on the com while eating my breakfast. After finishing my meal, and half of the movie, sat on my bed while reading the therapeutic
guidelines on Respiratory. And all of a sudden, i head back to dreamland till around 1pm. I love my lazy lifestyle =) hehehe
Week6 is around the corner T.T i wished that the weekends could last longer

confused

It's 0055 here in Brisbane, aus. I've got a 0800 lecture tomorrow, and instead of typing and staring at the monitor now, i should be in bed, sleeping soundly and happily hopping around in dreamland. I've been trying to sleep since 2200, but my eyes are still wide open. I'm confused with what my body wants, i'm feeling very tired and sleepy now, but i just can't sleep at all, and my body can't decide if it wants to feel cold or hot. Under my blanket , i feel hot, but without it i feel cold. And my blanket is not even a blanket, it's a shawl. It's thin, how could it make so much difference with what temperature i feel?
Weird, just plain weird....
I need to get some shut eye, but somewhere in my PNS and CNS, messages are being relayed wrongly by my heavily on-holiday-mood neurons (damaged by over holiday-ing? or due to my worsening dry cough condition?)
Been coughing pretty bad till my head hurts and sometimes my eyes feels like it's going to pop out of it's sockets. Worst feeling ever!
I've tried 2 cough mixtures (supposedly the strongest they have and can dispense at the pharmacy without a prescription), but instead of getting better, it feels more like i'm going downhill faster than ever.
Last Friday i couldn't take it anymore and decided to go pay the doctor a visit, but the next available appointment would be next Tuesday =.="
I called another clinic (at the next suburb), and they said it was an hour and a half wait (at that moment, and could extend to a 3 hour wait by the time i reach there), i was tempted to go wait for that long to go see a doctor, but it was already around 1900 and i did not wanted to go wait there alone for 3 hours and by the time i'm done, it would be so late. And i don't think i had the energy or strength in me to drive there on my own (later accident, 'lagi susah').
Going to the uni's clinic tomorrow, hoping that they could give me an appointment soon enough before i K.O.

Love hugs and kisses
Missing you guys badly!
Take care

Pancakes and crepes for supper!! hehe
There's this place called the Pancake Manor (aka Pancake Palace), where they serve pancakes 24-7. They do have other dishes on the menu too, but pancakes are people's usual order.

Homemade Tempura!!
I had a crave for Tempuras yesterday night, and did not wanted to eat out for anything deep fried as the oil won't be clean all, so i decided to fry my own plate of Tempura =D
So proud of myself, and the batter i bought wasn't too bad at all. It was nice and crispy, i guess the secret for a crispy batter is to add extremely cold water instead of normal temperature water when making the batter, and not too mix too well, lumps are good =D

Another meal alone at home, so i decided to cook something nice to cheer myself up.
Cooked korean style fried pork with spicy miso paste =D Delicious!
Had to add a dish of vegetable into my meal, so i fried a small plate of 'taugeh' with eggs.
And a nice decent bowl of miso soup.
One nice hearty meal for the lonely Daphne ^^

Left to right : Me, Rachel& Joy
Had dinner at Sizlers with some of my friends on my birthday, the other 5 of my friends were late as they couldn't catch a bus. They had to wait for 40mins, and when they arrived, the line was so long, and they had to wait for another 20 mins. We planned to meet at around 6-ish pm, but when they finally got to sit at the table, it was already 8pm.. Haha
But it was a fun night =D

New Macs at the iLC(Learning Center)
I love, I like, I drool =p

Macbooks at the iLC too.

Science learning center which just recently open, very nice environment to study. Modern concept, they had sofas, bean bags, "big boss' chairs, COOL LIGHTS (pic), they even had a fridge, microwave and a hot/cold faucet =D
I love the lights, gives a very 'underground' look.

My bro's new pair of shoes (Jordan 23), which i bought for him.

My bro's future son's shoes (Baby Jordan 23), which i bought for his future son too.
What a good sister and future aunt i am? ^^

Random pic, which i thought it was funny to share with u guys.
If u missed it, hint hint* look at the mannequin's crotch. Some kids must have mistaken it for a 'crotch bin' =.='

a lil something something

Been wanting to show u guys how i spent my summer, but been pretty lazy updating my blog ^^
So, this is the anatomy lab, we weren't actually allowed to snap any pictures, but the place was just way too cool to not share it with you guys.

Yup, it's a pic of what you are thinking of. ( i hope i'm thinking what you are thinking)
I think they are trying to warm the body up? I wasn't too sure and the people around there won't tell us.
A skeleton model posting with bodies behind.

How do you guys like my new hairstyle? From the front, not much difference, but from the side, huge diff! haha I showed Kim suan my new hairstyle and she said like Rihanna's hairstyle.. +.="

Challenging you!

Do you know that it's almost impossible to swallow a tablespoon full of cinnamon? Unless your salivary glands produces more saliva than a normal person?
I dare you to try it =p

3 hours break

1st hour of my 3 hours break +.=
Suppose to be studying about PBS (Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme), there is so much to learn and remember, it's like law for pharmacy. And as much of you guys have already known about me, i'm not much of a course reading person T..T So it's pretty much torture.
Not only that i'm in pain, i'm also feeling extremely hungry and sleepy '0'
Haha i've been complaining so much lately, sorry guys =p

Anyways, my weekend was pretty much extremely relaxing. It was my hibernation period, not much of a hibernation going on, but i love weekends.
Things i did :
1) Gym
2) Print out notes till i could smell 'bau hangus' coming from my printer
3) Eat chicken rice for lunch
4) Cook lunch, to be brought to uni on Monday
5) Read through my notes
6) Light but effective studying
7) Surf and surf and surf more net
8) HiBERNATE!! (which isn't much of a hibernation because my internal alarm has been permanently set to 6.25am in the morning)
9) Serenade and listen to enjoyable music

It's been almost a year since i've seen any of u guys, and it's starting to take a huge plunge deep into me. I MISS YOU ALL!!!!!

T.T

Got to roll off now and continue studying on PBS
Love hugs and kisses!

SHOES!!!

Lovin it to the fullest.
Onitsuka Tiger - Kanuchi-HL830
Bought it last week and am drooling over it everyday =D
I've been waiting to buy an Onitsuka Tiger shoe, but none caught my interest till this shoe that came out on the 28th of Feb. *BAM* I must have it!!!!!
It's love at first sight *LUVZ*

Am on shoe shopping mode now, haha. Well i need shoes to protect my feet during labs, which i have every week, isn't it a good reason to get more shoes??
I love shoes =D and all i wish for is more shoes.. hahahaha

it hurts

Sometimes they are people who thinks that they are so smart that they know everything there is to know about and it doesn't occur to them to even bother what others have to say. It makes me so sick to my stomach and it also hurts deeply. I know i'm not 'one of them', i'm sorry that i came from a third world country unlike you people who were born here which makes you a lot more better than others. I seriously thought i came here to improve my lifestyle and to add on knowledge so that i could change the quality of life, but factors such as 'them' makes it hard to improve and to even survive in this gruesome world.
The other thing that disturbs me is that once a person branded an impression on you that you are not that smart, then tend to try and avoid you. Maybe even think that you are too 'low' for them.
It really does show prominently that whatever comes out from your mouth is pure rubbish and would never help them in a way. Hell with them, can't they give a person a second chance or doesn't it ever occur to them to help that person to improve in every single way they could help?
*This doesn't apply to all, but it does apply to all anus holes*
Even if that person isn't as smart at you, does it really hurt your ears to listen to what they have to say?

made out of steel?

Waking up at 6+am every single day is putting a great force on me, i don't mind if i do get the chance to come home early but unfortunately uni doesn't end early everyday. I felt sick today when i was on my way home, for a moment there i thought i would just pass out. It was bad enough being extremely exhausted, try being exhausted and having a gastric! Thank lord i had enough energy to drag my feet till i reached the foot of my bed, and away i plunged straight into bed with still in my jeans and my bag hanging off my shoulder. It seemed as if i passed out for 30 mins on bed till my ever hungry tummy filled with deadly amounts of gastric acid, woke me up. Billions of messages were transmitted to my brain, each bearing a message screaming, HUNGRY!!!! So i got up, and whisked something up to eat, chomped everything down hungrier than a hungry bear.
I try to sleep earlier hoping to get enough rest but it's just an impossible task. I can't wait for the day where i would get the chance to hibernate. Now i really look like a panda, dark circles getting darker and darker by the day. By the end of my first semester, i wouldn't need eye liner to look emo.
Randomly, i'm craving for Malaysia's KFC! I badly crave for fried food now.
I would go and look for some, but i'm feeling too tired to hunt for delicious food.
Waiting for tomorrow's lecture notes to be uploaded, so i could print it out and be prepared for tomorrow. It's taking donkey age years for the lecturers to uplaod them, but i do understand that they too are tired and have tons of stuff to do besides sit by the computer and upload files.
I really miss you guys and missing Malaysian lifestyle.
And also the FOOD!! ARGH!!!

Love hugs and kisses!
