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!

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!
