On the road to recovery

I'm recovering, but a quick one would be preferred.
I've stop taking my medications, their a tad too strong for me.
I feel more dizzy and nauseas after taking them.
My days are mostly spent asleep in bed, and the hours that I'm awake are purely for food, nature's call, and to hear from the bass player.
There's no improvement in my appetite yet. I tried eating more solids today, but it only made my tummy all woozy.
I still feel like crap, even though the pain has mostly subsided - And I'm very thankful that it has, and am also grateful for all the concerns and prayers - which made me feel a whole lot better too.
I know I shouldn't be stressing myself, however I can't help but to worry about my mid-term paper on Tuesday.
Haven't been studying due to the one-week migraine; I am truly unprepared.
Since I'm fairly well already, I shouldn't waste a single second but to hit the books immediately.
Don't worry, I'll go easy on myself :)

Before I end this post; A BIG THANK YOU goes out to the bass player, who came all the way from Setapak to take me to the medical center in Cheras (not to mention, he even missed classes because of me) - and for constantly checking up on me : ) Not forgetting; HY, yap & teh fly that helped direct and accompanied us to the MC. I'll never be able to shower each one of you with the type of gratitude that you guys deserve. From the bottom of my heart, I'm sincerely thankful.

Till that day...

I don't need sympathy, definitely not from you.

I just need you to understand, but you're too proud to be understanding.

All I've heard from you are words of discouragement; what I've done wrong and have failed to do.

If that's your way of showing how much you love and care for me; I'd rather have you not love me.

And being home means being miserable, then I'd rather not have a home.

I might regret feeling this way about you, but this time round; nothing will change my mind and feelings about you.

I know that you're very much disappointed with me, but I no longer have the strength to proof you wrong.

I can't wait to walk out the door; towards the day that I can finally say that I am free. Well, at least free from you.

A day free from pain...

I've not been in the pink of health lately.
The migraines have become more frequent for the past few days; it disrupts my daily activities, and tasks that I need to urgently complete are behind schedule.
Driving is a struggle, and reading only increases the intensity of the pain. Studying has been impossible, and I've a mid-term this coming Tuesday!
I've been napping in the afternoon, hoping to sleep it off - unfortunately that doesn't happens.
Well by now you would already realized that this is a 100% rant post, so if the day hasn't been fair on you too - you might want to skip this one.
I'm anxiously anticipating for a pain-free day!

Woof!

The puppy is finally here!!!!

She's such a darling, isn't she?

She has been the centre of attention since I brought her home yesterday :) and I guess there's no harm making her the limelight for this post too *winks

A little of everything...

The pet shop owner informed my parents that I could bring home the puppy anytime I wanted. I'm still contemplating whether to bring her home tmr or Monday. Most likely Monday, when I'll have more time - since my report, assignment and one mid-term paper will be completed by then.
Almost done with my report, the assignment will take sometime - but I'm sure I can get it done by tonight. I've to also start revising for the mid-term paper on Monday.
There are other list of things that I need to complete, but I've to put 'em on hold - too tired to even think about 'em, and thankfully their deadlines are not that soon.
Well, I've to get going - will be having dinner at some nearby restaurant.

I miss the bass player very much....

A fishy day

First and foremost, thank you for all the b'day wishes :) and sorry for the almost one week hiatus *hee
Have been busy with Uni, and also a tad lazy to update my blog - even though there's much to blog about.

Resuming from where I'd left off, I had an enjoyable time on my birthday!
The bass player took me to Aquaria on my very special day. He actually remembered that I'd once wanted to be a marine biologist. I still do, but just never could.

We had fun tormenting and teasing the marine creatures, and also a few reptilians, amphibians and creepy crawlies *hee
Took quite a number of pictures, and it wasn't easy taking 'em. The animals kept moving! *tsk tsk
The bass player took most of the pretty ones - I'm not as patient or skillful as he is *hee

That's a shark

And another shark

The Tarantulas

I thought these fishes were Piranhas. The bass player corrected me *hee -malu

Lion fish *roarrrrrr

Big ugly toad

Mr. green snake

The overrated lizard *haha

Dinasour turtle

Troubled bettle - especially after being verbally tormented by the bass player *hee

The petting corner!

I like turtles - their so cool *hee

Sunbathing turtles are cooler *haha

And it wouldn't be complete without a picture of the bass player and I :)

Cass turns 22!

Yup, I turn 22 today :)
B'days have always been a rather quiet affair for me, so yeah...its another quiet one this year.
Anyway, thank you to all who remembered - for the wishes and presents.
I appreciate 'em all with all my heart :)

September

A sweet date with the bass player

I had the best dinner EVER! And its not only due to the good food that I had, but because of the company that was with me; my darling bass player.

We headed to One Utama after being indecisive for sometime. Upon reaching, we walked aimlessly around the mall for more than an hour; browsing through shops, but most of the time we sat on the available benches that were placed around the mall to just talk - since it was still too early to have dinner.

The bass player took me to Paddington House of Pancakes for dinner. It was my first time. We ordered Buckberry Classic; the bass player and I enjoyed it very much. It was truly satisfying.

The second order; Treasure Box, was just heavenly! The combination of dollar sized pancakes with almond chips, nuts, raisins, peaches, strawberries, bananas and ice cream was just too good to be true *hee.

After such a pleasant meal, we just sat there talking - and I enjoyed the talk that we had very much :) We were the only customers around, it was nice to have the whole place to ourselves :)

And just before leaving, we went over to Bakerzin to have some cakes! Actually just a small one :) I can't remember the name of the cake, cause I couldn't even pronounce it *hee. It had brandied cherries and rum in it. It was yummy too, and I fancy anything with alcohol :P

It has been awhile, since I've had such a great time. Tonight was indeed a very pleasant one :)
Bass player, thank you so much! I can never thank you enough. I love you *Hugs!

Dinner + Sleep = Big Belly

I just woke up.
Yes, you read that correctly.

My body gave in to exhaustion; I fell asleep, not too long after dinner.
A sms from a friend woke me up, or I would have had probably slept through till the next morning.
I've sort of messed up my biological clock; thanks to my own stubbornness. Should have forced myself to sleep in the afternoon.
I admit; at times, I can be quite pig-headed - hence I'm reaping what I've sown; another night of sleep deprivation.

If this scenario were to carry on, I might reap myself a bigger belly :P
And I just realised that I've ran out of A4 papers. How am I to hand in my hw tmr? *tsk tsk

Note to self; sleep more, eat healthily, don't procrastinate, and remember to buy more papers - oh, and go easy on the chocolates *hee

A Chinese that is not very Chinese

My grandmother came over from Klang today. According to mum, she'll be living with us for an undefined period of time. There wouldn't be much conversation going on between the both of us, and its mainly because of my inability to speak fluently in hokkien. To be down right honest, I can hardly speak Chinese but I'm very much one *hee
Believe me, it's not something that I'm proud of or I boast about. I've tried learning the language, but it hasn't been successful - and language has never been my forte.
However with her around, I've no choice but to try - even though it doesn't always come out right, but the worst is when I can't even think of the word in hokkien :p
Can you imagine my frustration? hahaha...

Old notes + Graduation + Prezzies

Woke up early, went for a jog. Got home; started clearing my old A'levels notes that has been left untouched for almost 3 years, and I also got rid of some of my notes from my first year in Uni.

Have always been reluctant of getting rid of them, but I had to make space in the book shelf for the newer ones.

My dad will be sending them off to be recycled with the old newspapers. There's actually quite a number of textbooks too, but I've no heart to recycle them *hee.

Anyway, my eldest sis had her convo today! She graduated with a CGPA of 3.8 - top student in her class! She's currently pursuing her Masters in English Literature at UM, and is working as a research assistance. Congrats to my sis! :)
Btw, she's still single *hint hint :P

Addition to that, I received my first super-d-duper-early b'day present from the 'adosome' (handsome + adorable) bass player :) Thank you sayang. Hugz!

The weekend is coming to an end, and I've not had the chance to kick back and relax *boo hoo.

Post No. 280

I've been a little disorientated lately.
I struggled through the first few days of Uni; trying to cope with the pace and workload.
And me being physically below par, has somehow affected my emotional and mental status too.
I still feel slightly burnout. I guess my body hasn't recovered fully from the overwhelming stress, which originated from the previous semester.
This semester is bound to be another hectic one; just in the first week of this semester, and I've already a test next week and another, the following week.
I'm trying to refrain myself from fretting, but it seems humanly impossible at this very second.
So just bear with me for a trifle moment; it'll be all over, in a blink of an eye.

I've a long list of errands to run tomorrow, hence I'm off to bed! I need sleep - badly!

The starting of my final semester

I'm proud to say that I've managed to obtain a C+ for my marketing paper! 61% to be exact. Thank God!
I know it's not something to shout out loud about, but I honestly felt that the possibility of me flunking this paper was way high!
I'm not happy with the C's but one has to be contented :)
My clean record of A's and B's have been defiled with C's, but life ain't all about grades :)
Will be starting classes tmr, and it's my final semester in Uni.
Time flies...

Oh crap! I owe teh fly a meal. Yo, I hutang you first; at present, my bank is running dry - drought season :(

For the sweet tooth

My head feels slightly better after having a good night sleep. Unfortunately I still have the fever, and the constant knocking and drilling from the renovation going on with one of the neighbour's house - has only worsened the pain.
I'll most likely pop in a few more panadols and nap again.

I believe most would already know that I'm truly passionate about food, and I'm a big fan of pastries, cookies, cakes - basically anything that is sweet!

And if you're a huge food lover like me, who doesn't miss out on any food articles in the newspaper - you've probably came across an article about these brilliant cupcake makers in the Star newspaper, not too long ago.During the weekends, they usually set up a stall at Amcorp mall's flea market, but I've not had the chance to try out their cupcakes - no one to teman me :(
But from 16th Sept onwards, they'll be at One Utama (Rainforest area) on Sundays.

They take orders too; not only for cupcakes, but for cakes and cookies too. You can even place your orders via their website Pretty Frosting

I've only heard good reviews about their cakes and cupcakes, hence if you're interested to try them out - do give me a buzz, I've been anxiously waiting to taste their pretty cupcakes :)

P.S. Bass Player, are you interested to try them out with me? *winks

Worried myself sick

Results for 2 subjects were released this afternoon, and I've finally received my 1st C!
I thought I could keep a clean record of just A's and B's, but I guess that was just too much to expect.
I'm still waiting for the results of 2 other subjects, specifically marketing.
I think the worrying kind of took a toll on me; had a terrible headache this afternoon, tried to sleep it off but woke up feeling the same.
Now I'm having a slight fever, and classes will begin this Thursday *sigh.
Hopefully I'll be fine then.

I could not ask for more

Love has been constantly on my mind lately.
Truth be told, there was a point in my life that I chose to not love anymore.
I was a bitter soul, and the thought of love just made me sick.
I became self-destructive; I ate to keep sadness at bay, and I would hurt myself on purpose during basketball & volleyball games to numb the emotional pain.
The bruises and sores help ease the pain.
I'm glad that I chose to love again, and to allow myself to be loved by others; specifically God.
I'm grateful that God never did gave up on me, and has now bless me with many opportunities to love many in return.
Honestly, I've never been so in love.
It's impossible for me to now go on a day without love, especially God's love.
And I'm truly delighted and thankful that God rekindled our love for each other again, that He made our paths crossed once more.
I'm just overjoyed that I've finally got what I've been waiting for - I love you.

And as cliche as it may sound, God loves you too :)

1 Corinthians 13

1:If I speak in the tongues of men and angels,
but have not love,
I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol.

2:And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.

3:And if I dole out all my goods, and
if I deliver my body that I may boast
but have not love, nothing I am profited.

4:Love is long suffering,
love is kind,
it is not jealous,
love does not boast,
it is not inflated.

5:It is not discourteous,
it is not selfish,
it is not irritable,
it does not enumerate the evil.
6:It does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth

7:It covers all things,
it has faith for all things,
it hopes in all things,
it endures in all things.

8:Love never falls in ruins;
but whether prophecies, they will be abolished; or
tongues, they will cease; or
knowledge, it will be superseded.

13:But now remains
faith, hope, love,

these three;

but the greatest of these is love.

Enjoy!

Here's some entertainment for ya guys. I've always been a fan of Katharine McPhee. I think this song is really catchy, and she's a hot babe too! So guys, you've permission to go goo-goo-ga-ga over her :P

A special dedication

Love
by Cassiemarie Yang

Love is not a mere word,
It's a special bond.
A special kind of bond,
That holds two hearts at closed.

Love is not a feeling,
It's a commitment that's long-lasting.
It's not sustained by material things,
But trust, loyalty, and lots of caring.

Love knows its limits,
Yet it is unconditional in all circumstances.
It does not alter in times of weakness,
But only grows stronger in fondness.

Love - I've finally come to understand,
Because of your love that did not bend.
I'm glad that you're still holding my hand,
With God, I know our love will stand.

A HUGE feast

The eldest sis treated the family dinner at Chilli's, BSC. Its sort of a tradition in our family, and I believe in many others too - that once a person starts working, he/she would have to treat the family for a meal.

My dad being goofy - as always :P

We started out with 3 appetizers:

Followed by 5 main courses:

We kept eating, and eating...
..and eating....

But the amount of food seemed to remain the same O_oBy the end of it all, I felt horribly stuffed. My youngest sister wanted deserts, unfortunately the rest of us were just too full. Honestly, if I had desert - I might have just puked. Nasty! Euu..

What a way to start off a new month - with a GREAT feast! *hee

P.S. Sis, thank you for making me gain an additional 10 kg :P And I'm kind of sick with Chilli's - I can't believe I'm saying this.

Its the 9th month of the year

is here!!!

Smart people are born in September *hee
