A not so happy CNY

A very Happy Chinese New Year to all!

I'm sure most are still celebrating, unlike me - I'm already back to work on the 3rd day, and definitely not by free will.

Well my CNY wasn't such a good one - been moody for sometime.

Had migraine for almost a week, it was quite severe that I'd to take 3 days of MC.

After the series of migraine, I'd an allergic reaction to the migraine medication - hence I'd to spent RM50 from my ang pow collection on more medication.

Went to a 24 hours clinic on the 1st day of CNY, just to get 1/2 dozen of anti-histamine pills for the mouth allergy that I'd.

Thus as predicted, CNY was a torturous one for me - eating which is usually the most wonderful part of CNY, became the most excruciating affair for me 0_0

However, thankfully it is much better right now.

Overall these past week has been quite a moody and rowdy one.

Only good food for Dan this week, Cass just 'see-food'

Sorry for the lack of updates, as I've not been in the pink of health lately.
Glad that I'm on the road to recovery, but its been a rather slow journey.
I wish I could quicken the pace a little.

It was good to meet with the Fly and Spunkz to celebrate their belated b'days :)
As always, our gatherings are always fill with food *hee (unfortunately no food pics were taken)

Spunkz and her boo surprised us with a lovely chocolate cake that they both baked.

The bakerz :) The cake was really good.

The b'day girls; Fly and Spunkz. Already 23 but not looking a bit older *hee

Looking forward to meeting up with you girls again. Hopefully we can go for Klang bahkuteh the next time :P

Last Saturday, Dan and I went for the movie Ironman. The movie was fantastic. Really good. Two thumbs up! If you're thinking of getting the pirated DVD for the movie, this movie its worth splurging on - so don't be so cheapskate, and go watch it in the cinema :P

We had dinner at Winter Warmers Coffee & Tea House, The Curve. It was my second time dinning there, but this time round - the food didn't taste as good.

Overall, I would grade their food as only mediocre. Nothing special or extravagant.

Macaroni Cheese Baked, which tasted much better than the next dish. It should be cheesier, and those frozen veggies (peas, corns & carrots) should be a big no-no in this dish.

Butter Lemon Fish - The butter lemon sauce was too sweet for my liking, and you feel 'muak' after consuming a large portion of it. I wouldn't recommend this dish to anyone, but I enjoyed the french fries :)

I doubt I'll be enjoying any good food for the whole of this week, as I am currently suffering from a terrible sore throat, which have made speaking an extremely painful experience. Hence eating has definitely been torturous =_=

Another sick-filled post

This is going to be another rant post on me illness.
The sore throat is not even halfway through its recovery process, and I've caught a cold!! *Hachew!
My nose is so block that I've to use my mouth to breath, and its beginning to leak uncontrollably!
Now not only do I need a new throat, but also a brand new nose! No wonder the bass player said I'm high maintenance *hee
I know most of you are probably way bored of my constant sickly rants, however you must know it ain't going to end unless this series of unfortunate events stop for good.
My current situation is certainly unpleasant, hence ranting does help ease the 'tension'.
Yet I dare promise you that there'll be pleasant fun-filled posts coming up real soon :)

*scratch scratch

My throat has been itching non-stop!!
Its so irritating that its making me cough! Not to mention, the coughing aggravates the pain and itchiness. Plus my head hurts from all the coughing :(
Why can't it just be inflamed and not itch?! I don't need a combo *sniffs
Its so difficult to fall asleep with the itching and coughing.
I wish I'd a rod that I could stick down my throat and I'll start scratching furiously!
I can't stand it anymore! Anyone want to trade in their good throat for a crappy one like mine? *hee

I miss the bass player *sobs

*sigh

I hate sore throats! =_=

Be nice!

Today seemed like a pretty good day till I started feeling a little sick.
Mum cooked curry for dinner, and if I'd a choice; curry wouldn't be something I would have opted for dinner.
I ate the curry reluctantly and felt sick immediately.
Told my mum and she got slightly offended. Sorry!
Been drinking lots of water, but I don't feel any better.

Have been having chest pains again, I just hope their the usual heartburn that a person would get.

On the other hand, some mean reader/s has/have been leaving crude comments on mine and my friend's blog. Usually I'll just ignore it and not give a second thought about it, however I think its getting really out of hand; the comments are getting harsher and rather personal, and we don't appreciate 'em; especially when their not constructive criticisms and edifying to the soul.

Therefore stop commenting if you've nothing good to say; your sarcastic and unnecessary comments are truly not appreciated.

I'm not feeling well, hence don't test my patience and be nice!

Cure me!

My current condition is slowly pulling me into a state of depression. I'm easily agitated, and I get emotional over the pettiest matter. I feel extremely tired, even after a peaceful 8-hours sleep. I need an antidote, I'm desperately yearning for a full recovery!

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.

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!

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!

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.

Back from the short hiatus

The holiday was great, till I refused to return home.
However, reality gave me a hard kick in the butt - so here am I, home again :(
Even though the holidays have only began, the list of things-to-do has already been listed out by the lecturers.
I would have to resume with my thesis real soon, and I'm definitely not looking forward to spending hours of my precious time - reading through journals again!
As much as I despise them, journals will be daily bread for the coming few months.

I've nothing planned out for the holidays, other than the need to catch up on sleep and more sleep *hee
I'll be home mostly, if my thesis supervisor doesn't calls me back to Uni.
This semester break would be all about rejuvenating, recuperating and re-energizing.

What a bummer, I've caught a cold and having a slight fever now. I'm off to bed.

Exams + Illness = Excellent results? :P

Just when I've finally recovered from the sore throat, along came Mr. Infection and Ms. Diarrhea. *sigh...
I'm on the road to recovery, the fever is an indication of it. If you're a physiology student, you'll probably understand why - unless, you haven't been studying (then you deserve some spanking on your buttocks *hee).
I dread being ill, especially when I'll be sitting for my first final exam paper this coming Friday.
The rate that I'm at in terms of revising is seriously pathetic, hence being sick ain't helping a bit - it only disrupts and slows me down a whole lot more! *tsk tsk
I'm always falling ill during the exam periods, as if someone has put a curse on me. Or maybe it's just due to my lousy immune system that always chooses to crash during the most vital periods of my life *sigh
Oh well, I'll just do my best and surrender the rest to God :)

Where's the sick bed?

Am I feeling sickly because of the sore throat? Or does my body automatically switches itself to sick mode whenever the exams are drawing near? *puzzled...

This mouse looks too cute to be sick. I'm totally cute-less when I'm feeling ill =_=

I dread the sick-like feeling. Food becomes tasteless, and sleep becomes endless. Even ice-creams that look as good as this, won't make me feel better *boo hoo

Umm..maybe ice-creams would make me feel slightly better :) But there's a possibility that I might end up feeling more sickly *sigh..

Why oh why, did I had to have chocolates today? *frowns

I'm suffering from an excruciating migraine at this very moment.
The right side of my head has been pounding profusely since I returned home from uni.
I believe the chocolates (Nips) that I had this afternoon, triggered the migraine.
I've not had migraines for quite awhile, and today is seriously a terrible time to have one.
I'm still preparing for my thesis presentation tmr, hence the migraine isn't helping at all!
At times like this, I'd rather be dead. I know I sound a little crude, but this is exactly how I'm feeling right now.
Well I guess to most of you, this isn't something new.
I practically fall ill all the time, especially during the exam periods or when I'm extremely stressed out.
It sucks big time, but it's something that I've learned to live with.
As much as I would like to continue on ranting, time does not permit me to do so.
My other group members have been bombarding me with questions, and I'm getting really tired of answering - I think they malas to search the answers from the journals, and bcuz I underwent my internship at a microbiology lab; thus they expect me to know better *sigh
Do take note, I'm still a student. Therefore, I'm still a noob - so please give me a break la. Have some sympathy towards me and my overworked brain.

Sick of being sick!

I'm still on the road to recovery, and I barely studied anything for tmr's test.
Telling myself about a hundred time that 'Its (the test) only worth 5%', just doesn't seem to comfort me.
It had a slight effect during the day in uni.
However right at this very moment, alone, facing the wordy-filled-pages-of-notes; scares me to death!
Not only am I going to fail my FIRST test paper tmr, but I'll be flunking it with flying colours! Bravo!
Haih.. I hate being sick.
Stupid fever-cough-flu-sore throat! &^%%%*((*^!!@###@@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just had to let it all out, so don't mind me.

Not in the pink of health

I'm having a horrible cold right now.
I started sneezing on Fri morning, but I never knew it would be so severe.
My nose is red and stuffy, and my voice is beginning to sound extremely sexy :P
However, I would rather have a clogged-free nose anytime of the day.
The wall of my throat hurts terribly, even though its not as painful as the sore throat.
I'll definitely be in bed early tonight, and I hope to be in top shape again by tmr.
I've missed three days of exercise, can't afford to miss another day.
If it was the fever, I would have gone for a jog still - but since its the flu, exercise can lead to lethality.
Don't believe me? Do your own research online.
