Brief Update

Never ending tests. One after another. A little Chemistry test, a little Physics test here and there. Oh hang on, a lot of Physics tests here and there. A little 1% here, a little 5% there, a little 10% there, all totals up to a lot. Not to forget a few assignments in storage and many more to come. Project week. I cannot wait for the Raya holidays, go back to my hometown and relax. Oh hang on, I will probably be finishing my assignments during the Raya holiday.

Update

Can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? If then you are not able to do so small a thing as that, why do you worry about the rest. (Luke 12:25-26)

I spoke to my mum and several close friends and finally came to a decision after much supportive and constructive advice received and digested.

It’s time to let go and move on.

Yesterday, I visited Aquaria, the sky bridge and The Curve yesterday. I was out from morning until late evening.

I had breakfast at Dunkin Donuts (or was it J.C and Co?) …
I saw… a lot of fish in Aquaria. I took lots of photographs too. More photographs of myself with my coursemates rather than the fish. I look super short in the photograph above because the person who took the photograph was way taller than me. I saw… the whole of Kuala Lumpur city from the sky bridge. I took lots of photographs. Once again, more photographs of myself with my coursemates rather than the bird’s eye view.

I ate in Californian Pizza. Garlic roasted chicken pizza and a slice of tiramisu cake. That meal burned up RM73.00 but it was worth the money. The view was nice.

I bought a piano book from Borders in The Curve and also a blouse. The Curve was rather boring and small. Really uninteresting.

I had dinner at Little Penang Cafe, char kueh tiaw. I miss the Penang char kueh tiaw near my housing area in my hometown.

I went back home and had to pay the price by burning midnight oil to finish off my pile of Chemistry homework, Moral Studies research and EALD book report.

Amy’s Request: So I Update

So for the Independence holidays, my parents came over to Selangor to visit me. My luck started running dry on that day.

1) I locked my room keys, apartment keys, access card and mobile phones in my room. I had to wait for the warden to drive through the jam just to pass me a set of keys to open up my room to retrieve my own set of keys. 

So I stayed at Coronade Hotel for three days and had char siew baos everyday for breakfast. It has been ages since I last had pork. Excuse me. I shopped in Times Square, KLCC, Pavilion, BB Plaza and Sungai Wang. 

My parents dropped me back at Casa Subang on Monday afternoon. I had a lot of things to bring back up to my unit.

Then…bad luck struck again…

I stirred feeling nauseous on Monday morning 4.00AM. Ignored it, went to the toilet and nearly blacked out. First aider’s instincts kicked in *ahem* so I made myself a glass of concentrated glucose while focusing on trying not to spill anything because my whole body was shaking.

Then, I woke my roommate up, “I think I might faint.”

My roommate jumped up, “I make up a cup of hot milo!”

Then, she called the boys for help. One of them had a car.  

Lat, Eric and her drove me to UM Hospital. The moment I reached the hospital, I threw up. I think some went over her feet. Sorry roommate. ^_^

They did a blood test. We had to wait for 2 hours. Said everything is clear and so I went back. My roommate accompanied me for the rest of the day while Lat and Eric went to college.

At night, I threw up again. Fever went on and off. They took me to Sunway Medical Centre this time. SMC gave me some drugs.

The next day, I started getting diarrhoea fifteen times and allergy symptoms started showing around my eyes. The wardens came to check on me and brought me back to SMC.

SMC concluded that I am allergic to the medications prescribed yesterday by the doctor at SMC. They told me to stop all the medication, continue only on panadol, my own dhamotil and piriton medications and ORS to rehydrate. First, they accidentally billed me RM119.00 and then realized their mistake. So they billed me RM33.00.

This is the first time I had an allergy reaction to a drug other than from the NSAID family. Thank goodness my breathing airway didn’t swell up this time.

I was on MC for three days including today. This feels like house arrest.

Iqmal, I am NOT “dead”… yet

People back in my hometown have declared that my blog is dead but in actual fact, it is still alive. So here’s what I have been doing…

1) Zi Yi’s surprise birthday celebration2) Witness a lot of gaming… Dota…3) Taking photographs during classes…     4) Watched a horror movie, “Coming Soon”. 5) Shop in Pavilion and Times Square.

6) Learned how to play “Zeros to Heroes” in some program that we JPA students were all forced to attend.7) Sit for plenty of tests… finally the tests are over.   Tomorrow my parents are coming over to Kuala Lumpur and hence, I shall be away from Casa Subang… Bukit Bintang… =)

Sunday Ranting

Have I mentioned?

I absolutely despise pessimistic mentality.

I find it ridiculous when people have money, living family members, all four limbs, sight, hearing and brains complain about their life being in the dumps.

I think it is even more ridiculous for an individual to say that there is no one to trust. Talk about forgetting family and friends. No one to trust, go make friends and not complain.

Seriously, it is like God gave them everything and they still have tons to complain about. How appreciative can one get huh?

And it is ridiculously irksome how some people think I have time for… letter writing…

This is getting really irritating.

I’m Alive!

Wah. So much work done and to be done.

Last Saturday, I went to the PC fair at KLCC with two of my classmates. I bought another 320GB external hard drive. PC fair in KL beats the PC fair in Kuching by a million times.

On Sunway, my classmate accompanied me to A Cut Above in Sunway Pyramid get a haircut and then I watched some super lame movie.

Yesterday, I made green bean soup. Today, my roommate made very tasty red bean soup with black glutinous rice. I cooked herbal cod fish soup for dinner today for my classmate and I.

Did I mention that my Celcom broadband is sexist? Whenever my FEMALE roommate and I use it, we tend to experience problems with the webpage not loading and then one of my MALE classmate used it and had zero problems. 

Breakfast Update

Another week passed really fast again. For those who always said that college life is relaxing, AUSMAT program is seriously not relaxing. Like when will all the truckload of homework and assignments stop flowing in??

So, the week went by as usual with lots of homework and assignments piling up on my desk but on Wednesday, some of us from the AUSMAT July class went to celebrate one of our classmate, Phoebe’s birthday at Red Box.

I am going to get a haircut tomorrow.
