Being Sick Sucks

I know the reason I got sick, so don't push it...

Monday~
For the third time in my whole life, I fainted... in the morning, after a sleepless night while brushing my teeth... Lying down on the bathroom floor felt good, actually, and I would just stay there, but I regained conciousness, thinking that it would be so embarrasing to be found like that, so I just got up, staggered back to my room, and collapsed on my bed...

By this time, I was sorta gasping for breath, and it hurt anywhere it can... especially my head and legs...

This happened about 7 AM in the morning, and after collapsing into my bed, I THINK i slept, for about an hour or so... But then I knew, that still needed food, which was why i got up the first place... So this time round, still with a major headache, I managed to trudge downstairs and grab some cereal... the house owner's wife was at the kitchen, so i managed to ask her for some panadol...

After muching a few spoonfuls of cereal, I took the panadol, and slept... till noon

Waking up at noon felt a whole lot better than what I experienced in the morning... the headache is still there, but a lot less.... my legs still ache, and quiver whenever i walk...

So I stayed home, and missed Econs and Actuarial Studies lecture :K

Had soup for lunch, noodles for dinner... hey- i didn't want to stay standing too long, mkay?

Then I slept...at 9 PM... Only person to notice my absence in lecture was Kris, but not surprising, so I even smsed him when the class started... I figured that if i can't even last walking to the bathroom and all, i may collapse anywhere on the way to class... He said that even if i made it to class, i'll probably collapse in the class itself xD

Tuesday~
Woke up feeling a lot better... Altho I awoke about 3 AM, with a throbbing head, took another round of panadols, and tried to sleep... In fact, I overslept, and woke up 45 minutes before my first class today...

At least, the headache is almost, but not gone, and i'm just stuck with a cold and cough... still sucks anyway

Went to my first lecture which is Managing Across Cultures... sat next to Diana from Germany, who's my partner in that course's tutorial... 3o minutes into the lecture, felt a big stomach ache.. grr... had to go to the toilet :K

Then after the lecture, which ended like 25 minutes early, found Kris sitting at the back, looking sick himself... turns out he got sick on monday night, due to food poisoning... yikes... no more fish and chips for either of us for awhile...

After our econs tutorial, we checked out the clinic in the uni, but unfortunately it's fully booked till thursday... gahhh...

Survived all my classes that day, and also had dinner with Fiony, another classmate in the Management class...

Tonight, dad also called, since i was asleep when he called yesterday... told me to not worry so much about the financial constraints, and that my health is priority... shazwi (econs classmate) also called me up to see if i'm ok, since my mom called his family in ttdi to get to him, if he knew my condition...

Wednesday~
Still sick with cough and cold.. hates it.. RAWR!

Also annoyed at Zaid at first, for doing things he shouldn't... It's been a rough week so far, for me and him, and i'm just tired of it...

End of Weekend

Anyhow, Week 3 is over... and I have a test on Week 5, yet not much studying done...

Today wasn't really a good day, at first... Felt a little sad for something that happened to a dear friend... Hope it gets settled.. (Stays optimistic about it) =)

So... today, I cooked rice and omelette for lunch and dinner, now that i know how to measure servings for one person... Couldn't find a small frying pan, tho... and had to use a HUGE one... so my omelette turned out pretty big xD

Oh well, it isn't as tasteful as i'd like it to be, but it's a start ;)

Stupid Online Quizzes ! xD

I tried this quiz, which I found from Nad's blog... About hidden talent... and the results I got...

You have a sexual hidden talent


You have a sexual hidden talent. You might not look it but you are a dynamo in bed. Most of your lovers think that it is from years of practice, but really, you were just born with it.

WTH?? Don't know if that's good or bad =P *kicks online quizzes*

First Class DONE!

Finally, went to my first ballroom dance class... Met my classmate and partner Kris on the way there... he just finished jogging... eek xD

Anyway, we seemed like the first few to arrive there, aside from the teacher and probably some advance students or so...

More people came afterwards... Today, we did the basics for Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango and Quickwaltz(or something like that, i couldn't catch the names fast) :P

Initially, I felt pretty shy and sooo nervous, especially before the class... Then I felt even more shy, when I had my partner and I hold each other in that dance stance, or whatever u call it... My right hand and his left hand, my left hand on this arm/shoulder, and his right hand on my side or something... xD

But after starting to dance, I tried to ease myself, and things seems to get better :) Then we had to change partners a few times, and rotate about, so I got to know other guys as well, while holding each other close, and dancing together... hehehe

I think I sorta eased up... more than the beginning, at least xD till I partner with Kris again... he said i was too tense... I guess I was... hahaha, i don't know why, but he's the only guy i keep 'stepping' on, not so literal, but my foot keeps hitting his xD at least we're both wearing sneakers xD

Some of the guys that I partnered are fast learners... Some are clumsy, some are also shy... Some can lead pretty well... But I think, we all had a good first class and a funny thing in this class, is that the guys actually outnumbered the girls by one male xD

I met, guys from China, Malaysia (my senior in school's brother!!), Hong Kong and Indonesia...

After the dinner, I had dinner at a funny-named fast food joint with Kris, and we met our classmate, Muzi who's working there =) We are in the same tutorial group for Managing Across Cultures ;)

Then Kris kindly walked me back to where I'm staying, before he went back to his own place... At least we both stay in the same surburb (sp?), so it wasn't a far distance, unlike some friends in Randwick, it can be pretty far, and dangerous, especially at night...

Anyhow, I manage to enjoy myself in the dance class, and maybe next time, get to know more girls as well ;)

To Dance!!!

It's been finalized, I'll be leaning ballroom dancing!!! Wheee~!!!!

Only thing, is that I'll be wearing my sports shoes to the first class =D I am a beginner, so they can't expect me to know what I should be wearing, right? ^_^

Maybe I'll get something more appropriate after the first class... got lots to learn :)

And this is the guy who did the best job convincing me to dance~


I'm gonna dance~!

Sooo... lots of people managed to convince me :D (pokes Bram and Miraz)

and starting tomorrow, i'll be learning to do ballroom dancing! *dances*

only thing is that, i'll be wearing my sports shoes on the first class... hahaha... oh well

To Dance, or Not To Dance?

When I first took a look into the booklet on recreation courses and social sports, i was attracted by the dance/movement and martial arts section...

I wanted to dance, but I didn't know which course to consider... Choices include ballroom dancing, bellydance, classic ballet, combo dance, contemporary dance, hip hop funk, latin dance, street funk and a lot more! Of course, I didn't consider all the choices...

I'm actually interested in something like the ballroom dance, or latin dance, or something that is graceful... (I'm not saying I am) :P But it seems like a lot of fun...

I've done traditional dancing before, I also tried line dancing... And I want to try more!

So... currently I'm interested in doing ballroom dancing, and I know a guy who's also gonna take up that class... But I still feel kinda too shy to try it... Plus, I don't have the proper shoes/footwear... I only brought my sports shoes with me, to Australia...

So what do I do? Do I still enrol for the dancing, and worry about footwear after the first class, or what? From the response I get from some friends, on and offline, they tell me to dance... Only one person says no xD:

Lachlan says:
DONT do it!!!
Lachlan says:
NOOOO, DONT DO IT NAZZA, DONT DO IT!!!
Lachlan says:
PLEASE, JUST DONT DO IT!!!
Lachlan says:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Lachlan says:
PLEASE, JUST LISTEN TO REASON
Lachlan says:
DONT DO IT
Lachlan sent 8/8/2006 4:03 PM:
NAZZA!!! DONT DO IT!!!
Lachlan sent 8/8/2006 4:03 PM:
BE SENSIBLE!!!
Lachlan sent 8/8/2006 4:04 PM:
DO KICK-BOXING INSTEAD OF DANCING!!!

This made me laugh so much when I got back from class, and find this message on my MSN xD

Bram did ballroom dancing too, and he learnt it just for his prom... but he enjoyed it...

Bram- says:
get dancing
Bram- says:
get sure to dance
Bram- says:
!!

First class is this Friday
So... What should I do?? xD *is shy*

I may instead, do latin dance :O and that'll start on thursday!!! Aaaaaah~!

The start of Week 3...

has started... The weekend was filled with some bad moments... But thankfully, Zaid, Lachlan and Scla helped cheered me up loads...

I still feel a lot of tension and pressure, tho, but I'm smiling more as I face them... It's not easy, but I really hope I can pull through my first semester here...

And still, a guy who bought second hand books from me is still yet to pay for them :K:K:K I've repeated this story to a few ppl a few times already, but to cut it short, his fickle-mindedness caused me to have two sets of a subject's text book for so long, and now that he finally has it, I still haven't received payment... oh well... now i know better

On another note, I want to take some recreation courses, and I'm thinking about kendo and ballroom dancing... I want to take kendo, but I'm still unsure about dancing xD I'm feeling too shy to do it :P

Anyway, I love my online community a lot, and I really hope one day, I'd be able to venture about the world, and meeting them... It's been a great pleasure so far...

Next in list to meet: Miraz & Jozz

Life @ UNSW

So... finally found time to start blogging again, now that I'm here, in Australia...

Not feeling to happy at the moment... Loneliness, and subjects overwhelming... Only time can tell, if things get better... Hopefully it does... I guess I should be optimistic about everything...

Things to do:
Understand Stochastic Models for Actuarial Applications...
Make more friends...
Find a new place to stay...
Work...
Join some extra classes... thinking of doing dancing (perhaps ballroom dancing) and kendo (sounds fun!)
Meet some good friends...

I have a new phone number, message/e-mail me to find out what it is...

Overview of first three weeks here... really overwhelming, as I'm straight into second year subjects... lots to catch up, and try finding friends... maybe join more societies...
The weather is very cold, for me at least, i don't care about you people who lives in colder countries telling me that this is not cold... you're not from malaysia, you're not experiencing the same transition as i am... so please, spare me that comparison...

Books here are damn expensive... have to spend about 400 AUD just for this semester's books and I'm only doing 4 subjects... At least I have a nice timetable...

Security is also an issue here... with the rise of petty crimes around Kingsford, the area I'm living in... And they seem to be targetting international students, as we heavily populate this area...

Other than that, things are nice...

Zaid was in Perth for awhile, seeing his brother off... Now he's back in US...

I met up with Lachlan and Dave, online friends of mine, plus a few of my old schoolmates, such as Wei Hon + bro, and Thiam Siang + bros... Bumped into another junior as well...

I forgot to take a photo with my meeting with Dave, but I do have a photo of me with Lachlan... We met up last saturday, and it was an awesome day.. .best day i had in Australia so far... As for Dave, I'll chase him with my camera some other time... no rush at all, since he's in the same uni as me, and is in fact, my senior there, altho i'm older... hahaha, i really took the long route to finish a degree, but from my work experience, i'm in no rush at all...

I'll be stalking you, Dave ;)

Reviving Time~!

I guess it's time to revive this blog :D

Quick recap - I'll be heading to UNSW, Sydney on Thursday to do my degree in Actuarial Studies, under the Golden Jubilee Scholarship *yay!*

So here's what happened to me yesterday :D *extracted from an MSN convo with Ai Li, as i'm too lazy to write the whole thing again*

kittenz says:
u know, yesterday i went to batu laut, and got my boat back to klang
aili says:
haha..
aili says:
good la..
kittenz says:
we took the blue honda, so that can cartop the boat... going there was smooth
aili says:
coming back was havoc??
kittenz says:
yea,, sort of
kittenz says:
coming back, when i was approaching sijangkang, and happily asleep in the car, my dad asked me what's that noise from the engine
aili says:
broke down??
kittenz says:
at the same time, sahir called me and asked me to stop by in sijangkang, because haji wanted to see me
aili says:
haha..
aili says:
for what??
aili says:
pay cheque??
kittenz says:
so when we pulled over at the petrol station, the engine died, and i met up with haji because he wanted to give me my last allowance
aili says:
haha..
aili says:
good for you..
kittenz says:
when we got the engine running, it was overheating on and off, so my dad got worried, and the boat is still on the car, with the mast
aili says:
then how??
kittenz says:
we managed to arrive port klang safely, and unloaded the boat there
aili says:
thank god..
kittenz says:
then on the way back, when in the klang town, going onto the flyover, the car engine died again, and there was no more power
kittenz says:
so we were stranded on the flyover, causing a jam for more than an hour
aili says:
haha..
kittenz says:
then to finally move the car, the workshop's car pulled ahead in from of our car, and we used my dad's old laser mainsheet, to tie the two cars
aili says:
omg..
aili says:
haha..
aili says:
mainsheets do come into use after all..
kittenz says:
on the way to the workshop, it was so hard for my dad to steer, and to break accordingly, plus, sometimes we got jerked by the pulling car... something like being towed by a speedboat in an optimist
aili says:
good comparison..
aili says:
lol..
kittenz says:
lol, so many times we got jerked because our car's engine cannot on... so steering pun susah...
kittenz says:
and there was once where they stopped, and my dad didn't break, so we hit their car
aili says:
omg..
aili says:
that's likek kinda funny rite??
aili says:
like..
kittenz says:
yeah i was saying like, now it's out turn to give them a jerk
kittenz says:
and that's not the end of it... once at the workshop, the reef knot that we used became so tight, that we had to cut the rope
aili says:
o gee..
aili says:
wasted..
