Next week is gonna be hell

Next week, I have 4 assignments, 1 presentation and 1 exam spread over 4 days. Tell me now, isnt this insane! I dont even have this in my undergraduate days.

This will be how I look like

"Argh I have a BIG FRIGGING HEADACHE!!!!! Argh!!! just kill me!!!!"

Then when next week draws even closer.... I will look like this...

"Chang Tien Arh.... Ni wei se mo ze yang dui wo!!!!!" which literally translates to "Oh my god..."

Its been a sickly week for me. Fell rather ill from my endless coughing on Sunday evening. Had a coughing fit for about 15 minutes. That by the end of it felt so sick. Coupled with the fact that there was a lot of crap due on monday morning. I decided to take mc.

Woke up in the morning, went to take shuttle bus to the medical centre. Didnt realized that they changed the bus routes. I hopped on a shuttle bus only for it to bring me one round back to my hall. I got down near the Canteen A and proceeded to walk groggily to the medical centre which was on the other side of campus. It was really taxing and I wondered if I would collapse before I reached the doctor. When I finally arrived, had to wait. The doctor gave me mc upon my request and antibiotics.

Luckily I took mc cos it got worse when I got back to hall. It developed into stomach flu... spent an hour trying to sleep but couldnt. Hence I set up my laptop on my chair, laid in bed under covers and played maple. Saw my sister online and told her I was sick and on mc. Think she told mum and later told me mum said to take care. Saw my brother later on and he knew I was sick. Wow, the power of Maple communication.

Hence for the past few days, I had requested for the fan to be switched off at night that somewhat irked Tab. She kept on harping, its stale air, hot, sweating. And that she cannot believe that I could be under a blanket and a comforter and not be warm. Cos according to the chinese sinseh, the circulation to my chest is not good. Hence my entire body can be warm but yet my chest feels cold. And it gets worse when there is aircon or fan blowing at my chest. Anyway I have been hearing nothing but complaints. Its not like I purposely wanted it to be so. Its not like I didnt put up with the fan at night ever since I moved in and hence the 'mummy'.

Every since I've moved in, I had always woken up in the middle of the night from the cold. Its cold until I woke up, had to cover myself then try to go back to sleep. U dun see me ranting about it. Only for the past few nights had I had uninterupted sleep. Dun have to wake up to cover myself anymore...

Last time in NUS hall, I would either switch off the fan or put it to lvl 1 before sleeping, but the knob for the NUT fan was taken out purposely so the fan is at least at lvl 3-4 so of course cannot tahan.... Wish she can get her own fan soon. As a form of compromise, I would wrapped up in 3 layers and let her on the fan. Its only been 3 nights without fan and complain so much. Better do this otherwise can never be in peace. I wish too for my cough to get better.

Anyway had another jap food meal at Bentobox at Jurong point, Tab's recommendations. But the food is only so so. The food tasted normal but my tempura were scrawny-looking and lukewarm. Hardly great. Verdict, I wont go there again, rather go Sumo Ya at clementi for warm jap food with big tempuras.

"Staying in hall with Yenn is almost like being married to her, except without the sex." ~ Aki, to another friend.....

Err.... someone obviously is not getting enough of something. I would advise condoms AND not to tell me the contents of your particular perverse sexual fantansies that involves me in it. Dun even think of attempting to molest/rape/sexually harrass me in any manner in the remaining time that we are living together, given I am stronger. AND I will not be involved in any fights with a particular chicken wuss whose absense was the sole cause of such sexual depravness that led to this episode.

Hmm someone keeps on harping on the fact that I cover myself up while I sleep or am attempting to sleep to first, Keep warm so that I wont cough out my lungs from exposure to the fan that is at full blast. Second, to keep out the light from my eyes so that I can attempt to sleep. Hmm someone I know likes to flip around at night. Turn on one side, scratching movments then still and sleep, then turn to the other and make similar movements, still then sleep. Cat like, feels like throwing a bolster in that direction sometimes. That night without the fan on, was flipping and tossing like a roti prata. I really wondered whether she was sleeping or awake.

The tag from Boredslacker's blog will end with me cos she tagged the only other person I could tag, Quetzal. Oh well...

Ten years ago, I was...
- 14 yrs old and busy studying in secondary, playing chess, reading comic everyday and leading a fulfilling life or so I thought then. No guy.

One year ago, I was...
- Slogging my ass off in Shitty bank until midyear then monkeyed around in contract teaching. No guy.

Yesterday, I was...
- Eating japanese food at Sushi Tei with Tab and enjoying the delicious Salmon belly soup, met Quetzal later and embarked on yet another failed attempt to taste the elusive Mushroom Monster for the 'nth' time, n>8.

Five snacks I enjoy...
- Green tea
- Chinese tea, jasmine or tie guan ying
- Frost (that sweet for my cough)
- Fisherman friend lemon (for my cough)
- Very very occassional munchies.. no preference

5 songs I know all the words to...
- Superman by 5 for fighting
- Vindicated
- Sweet dreams (guitar version by Marilyn Manson)
- Tonnes of Gackt songs
- Move it (my current theme song, though i only know the chorus)

Five things I would do with 100 million dollars...
- Fly to Japan and stay there for at least a year, meet Gackt (yeah)
- Quit from current job and tell the P what a big f$&*&# is...
- Stay at home, happily finishing that huge pile of unplayed PS RPG games that I've bought to collect until a time when I am finally free enough to play.
- Go for a farm stay in Australia, lie on the green grass and look at the blue sky during the day and the stars at night.
- Share the wealth with my family so that we all dun need to work no more and can pursue our real dreams.

Five Greatest Joy...
- Getting some 'Me' time where I can listen to music, sleep, think, play guitar, read comic without a care in the world.
- Family time, to spend some time with family, cos it might not last forever and I am trying consciously not let it pass.
- Play games that challenges and opens up the world of imagination to explore and have an adventure.
- Hang with friends, to catch up over food, coffee and even some sports.
- Lying down to sleep in a dark, quiet room at night... The peacefulness of sleep when it finally overcomes.

Five bad habits...
- Shake my leg when I am at home/hall. Can control during class but do it when back home.
- Frown unconsciously that makes me look stern when I am just feeling neutral.
- when there is too much to do, my place becomes very untidy. There are so many notes and files on my bed when I am doing work. Then when I want to sleep then I push them to the floor or put on the chair.
-Dun want to reveal more...

Five favourite toys...
- Siren, laptop for gaming, music and surfing.
- Greyearth, mp3 player for my daily dose of jap, anime or game soundtracks.
- Sinn, camera for taking some stupid pictures to store as memories for this period of time
- Laptop fan, Siren's bf whom without, I wouldnt be able to maple without care of overheating.
- PS2 and my loads of games waiting for me still.... to retire and play

Five places I would runaway to...
- Japan, to immerse myself in the culture and also go for the Sakura viewing....
- Australia for the farms and open lands
- New Zealand for the LOTR adventures
- M'sia specifically City Square to lay my hands on good anime...
- My bed and home where I can be happy just staying there.

Five favourite TV shows...
- Err havent been watching any tv shows for a long long time, not even cartoons on Saturdays. Just sleep and game and do work and read comic....

Five fictional characters I would date...
This is easy, I have a huge list of fictional guys.
- Squall Leonheart FFVIII, totemo handsome guy whom I really liked
- Cheng Lin, the water element guy from Samurai Kyo
- Cloud, Advents Children, wow another melancholy handsome guy.
- Vincent, Advents Children, he was already very cool in ffvii game, how he looks georgous, check out the pics I've put up in the earlier post
- Sephiroth, villian from FFVII and AC, the all time Number 1 shuai ge villian whose back pose is the coolest of them all.

Its been a long two weeks of blogging inaction. And I feel somewhat sorry that I havent been bloggin much. Well partly, everyday is just a routine, nothing much or 'new' happening.

Well for the past 2 fridays and saturdays, me and Tab have been consuming much pasta and sushi indeed. Went to Sumo Ya at clementi, Genki sushi, pasta mania. It is generally agreed by former NUS students, ourselves included that NUT food sucks! Cant fanthom the reason except that somewhere by the middle of the week, the tastebuds have been so numbed that anything that resembles food is just swallowed and get-it-over-with. Then over th weekends, the tastebuds are revived with decent home food or outside NUT food.

After Tab relentlessly commented that Sushi Tei sushi is better quality, we are going there tonite. To sidetrack a bit, I have been having this 'deja-vu' feeling whenever I see Tab eating sashimi. After eating so much jap food, its like to me, she is perpetually eating raw, uncooked fish like some barbarian. I have this thought in my head that if she ever had a chance to go to the salmon spawning area, she would just hop into the river, grab a salmon, hit it senseless against a rock, tear it open with her bare teeth and start eating. Barbarian indeed.

Genki sushi the octopus sushi is good, that yaki something chewy and good ebi fry crunchy and lite. Loved adding huge amts of green tea powder and having a 'strong' tea as opposed to Tab's weak tea. Weekends will be somewhat used for some pending assignments, why cos I am on that guinea pig plan. So I have more assignments than tab. But any free time I have is spent, mapling, sleeping or playing guitar. At least still did something I like. Try to create some memories over this period of time.

Watched 'Corpse Bride', a rather short but sweet film. Quite different from the feel of nightmare before christmas, also by Tim Burton. Watched on tuesday with my sisters. The humor is wicked but the end was kinda of cliche. Maybe cos it was adapted from a folktale and not an original script.
