Sudden wish

If only I'm free to do whatever I want without considering my responsibilities/obligation at the moment....

forget about preparing for PBL next week
forget about reading up neuro exam
forget about doing pathology quiz
forget about EBCP assignment
forget about deciding what to do and when to do MCR

...if I could just forget those stuff for 2 weeks, what I would like to do is...

...fly back to Malaysia!

This wish/desire is actually 'triggered' when Thong said that I should be in Malaysia now. It just struck me in my head. There are two people that I need to meet; if not now, the next time/chance will be 2 or 3 years later.

It would be cool if I go and look for the cheapest ticket and fly to KL the next day.....



but wait. I probably won't be allowed to fly. I still have cold and cough; they will probably want me to self-quarantine.

After 3 years of winter...

I can say that I don't really like winter. I didn't say I hate winter because there's a 'like' component to it...I can wear nice boots and jackets/sweaters/cardigans during winter, and then there's winter sale!

Anyway, the main reason I don't really like winter is that I often get sick during winter. In first year, I fell sick (common cold and cough and sore throat I guess) when my friends from Perth and Tasmania came to visit us at Melbourne. It's really a pity that I didn't get to go out and spend time with them, especially taking pictures... I forgot what I did or how did I really spend the first winter break in Melbourne...

Can't remember whether or not I got sick during last year's winter. But this year's winter in Melbourne is not too good for me....I fell sick twice! Currently having common cold and cough, exactly what I experienced just about a month ago! And there's a food poisoning episode in between the last time I fell sick and now (as mentioned in earlier post)....gosh! It all started on Monday....funny thing is that I kept sneezing so many times that night (apart from having a really dry throat), not expecting to catch cold the next day! And it was sunny on Monday and Tuesday =.=||||

Winter cold winter.....another reason for me to like spring more, besides the fact that my birthday is in the first month of spring (not applicable to the West though)....

Thought of putting this pic up which I have just received from Yen Nee. What she wrote at her blog brought back those good old memories of our primary school life. 'Mamee Monster' snacks eh? =P



We had a lot in common back then, which made us very very close friends even though I only first got to know her in Standard 5 (I skipped Standard 4; most of the primary school friends I keep in touch with now are those I know from Standard 5 and 6). We were in the same class for 2 years. We were both prefects, both in the same rumah sukan, both top in English language subject (because we speak English at home), both in the same choir team (she's the conductor)...we both took part in several team/group competitions too. But I guess there's something more to that - which is one big part of my primary school life after the decision to skip Standard 4. What is it, you ask?

Well, I guess most of my closest primary school friends/classmates would know. Very few of my secondary school friends knew, but it doesn't matter anymore. I wish I had the courage like I had back then. I survived, thanks to the support of my friends and family. I just hope that there's no other kid who experienced the same thing after me.

医生=黑社会?

医生和黑社会相同之处:

1.都有自己的职业象征色:一黑一白
2.都是拿人钱财,替人消灾
3.工作风险高
4.常常有被打的危险,打人的一般都是客户
5.刚入行什么都做,以后渐渐专向化
6.都需要熬年资讲排位
7.身边都有被自己叫做老板和老大的人
8.谁手上都会有几条人命
9.被社会需要的同时不被理解,被魔鬼化
10.在一定程度上反感与法律有关的人——警察律师
11.受经济动荡的影响比其他行业小
12.每年都有年少无知的青年加入队伍
13.行内的相当一部分人最后都会转行
14.大都希望自己的子女不要子承父业
15.都经常被拍成电影或者电视剧荼毒年轻人
16.生活无规律,常常被一个电话打破梦境,披上长衣消失在黑夜中
17.离开该职业以后发现自己原来什么都不会
....

On the spur of the moment

在放假的其中一天,来澳州玩的一个小学朋友来探望我。她是妍妮,是我五和六年级的同班同学。
她和一个朋友从墨尔本市搭火车和巴士来到Clayton,抵达时打了个电话给我:“淑君啊,我到了~~”
我呆住了。
啊,好久没听到人家叫我的华文名字了!
虽然不惯,但还是蛮高兴的~~
脑海里突然回想起小学时候的我们……几秒钟后回过神来才答她:“噢,你到了?好我去接你!”

------------------------------

几天过后的一天下午,我一个人发闷在房间无聊地上网时接到一通电话……
莉彬:“你在做什么?”
我:“没有在做什么啊~就上网着……”
莉彬:“你有在halls啦?酱我去找你玩nah!”
一瞬间觉得很兴奋很开心,因为听到她说要来“玩”,觉得又好像回到了小孩子的时代 =P

-------------------------------

不久前和晓思在MSN chat。
她说了一句 “u are like little girl to me”
看到荧幕上的字,愣住一下……
没想到离开INTEC这么多年了,她对我的印象还是没改变。
原来如此啊~~ =)

-------------------------------

考试之前的一星期,有天半夜两点收到一封SMS,隔天早上才看到。
是琳雯发出的。
我们不常SMS,所以看到sender是她时,虽然半睡半醒还是赶紧读了信息内容。
读着读着,一份温暖涌上心头,感觉很温馨。
好喜欢 =)

-------------------------------

昨天第一天开学就有PBL。
同学present task时问了个问题,没人答所以我就随性很小声地说了答案。
突然间听到有人拍掌。
是我的tutor!吓到一下!
她看着我笑,我明白了--她在拍掌给予鼓励!(想象一下,她是蛮serious的consultant耶,不过对我们很好)
我感觉有点不好意思,不过还是蛮开心的~

悠闲

前天下午在莉彬的家做desserts。

莉彬播放了古典音乐的CD来听,我一边切着草莓一边陶醉在音乐中,无忧无虑的。

宁静的下午、美妙的音乐加上舒适的屋子,觉得很像是在享受人生的感觉。

好喜欢假期~!

晚餐?

已经四天没有吃上一份好(proper)晚餐了。

哦,不是故意不吃的,毕竟我是这么爱吃的人。

星期日只吃了一点点的晚餐。是一碗很美味的爱心粥。
因为我前一天吃了些东西而弄到当天食物中毒,从傍晚开始呕吐。
第一次(是的,还有第二次)呕吐后遇到倩颍,告诉他我呕吐后她吓了一跳。
那时靠近晚餐时间,她叫我好好休息,晚餐煮好后会叫我。
过后我躺在床上休息时接到莉彬的电话,她问我:“你在做什么?”
我不想吓坏她说我刚呕吐,就说:“我想要睡觉一下,刚才有点不舒服……”
话没说完,她就接下去:“我也是耶!!我好像有点消化不良,刚才吐了一点点……”
“你也吐啊?!我刚才也是吐耶!”我觉得好好笑,怎么她也会像我一样呕吐,而且是在差不多一样的时间。
呕吐过后当然是没胃口,也没有想要吃东西的意思。
和倩颍说我不吃了,莉彬也因为呕吐而不能过来找我们。
我听到电话另一边的background大众的声音:“哦?莉彬也是哦?哇……到底是什么……”
过后我就睡觉去……三小时后醒来吐第二次。
倩颍打电话问我有没有感觉好些,我说我又吐了,她就说:“酱你肚子一定很空,一定要吃东西,dehydrated一定要多喝水。我煮粥你要不要?”
就这样,不久后她和世俊端着一碗爱心粥过来(“Room Service”),说是和镇kun和John和etc etc一起煮的,叫我慢慢享用……
世俊还说:“你们两个真的是好朋友,这种东西也要一起中……”
我说:“是食物中毒吧,可是她说她消化不良,我们两个一起吃过的东西是jackfruit smoothie,可是没听说晓思有吐……”
就在大家还在猜测食物中毒的来源时,一通电话来了 - 晓思刚吐了 - 不用猜了,肯定是那jackfruit smoothie了!
唉,我们三个女生本来还说要一起去购物的呢,看来计划泡汤了……

星期一天气很好,是我们本来计划要一起去购物的日子。
早上醒来头有点痛,还是没有胃口。
早餐和午餐我都只吃了两片面包。
晚餐也是粥 - 也是他们煮的 - 不过这次是我去厨房“order”的,哈哈!
也只是吃了一点点就吃不下去了。

星期二我们三个觉得身体状况还好,就购物去了!
傍晚我和莉彬回到我的房间要transfer照片,不过倩颍在睡觉所以我们等她一会儿。
本来肚子有点小饿,我们边等边说话边看照片的当儿,我饿也变得不饿了(加上还没完全恢复100%胃口)……
莉彬说要回去吃晚餐了,我们走过倩颍房间时看到大伙都在,镇kun请我们吃面包 =)

星期三(今天)感觉好多了,体力和胃口恢复了。
没吃晚餐是因为……
午餐吃得太饱了!!
五个人一起吃,有:salmon、排骨和马铃薯、豆芽和咸鱼、菜豆和虾。
因为迟开始吃,吃到差不多三点多才洗碗,哈哈~
三小时后又吃镇kun和倩颍做的包!!!
豆沙包、肉包、番薯包……
今天的食物好好吃哦~
饱到我过后什么也吃不下,所以也没煮晚餐吃了。

明天呢?
