sick, and feeling sorry for myself August 17, 2008

So school started last monday—and let’s just say it started with quite a bang. A bang that sounds like TB and feels like my head is an anvil and there’s a biig hammer hitting it.
Thankfully, though, the worst didn’t hit until Thursday night, so I didn’t have to miss any first lectures. But well, a 39ºC fever, hacking, phlegmy chest cough pounding headache and perpetual fatigue were not how I’d planned to spend my first long weekend. Thursday night was scary. Went out for dinner to Little India with M and the guys (haha, doesn’t that sound like some sort of early ’90’s band, M and the Guys? haha) which was fun—the good thing about Northern Indian food is that most of it comes with sauce, so it goes down a sore throat pretty easily. Got the beginnings of a headache one the way home, and by 11 was definitely having a fever, but the only medication in this house was antihistamines and eyemo, so there was nothing for it but to go to bed. Which was a totally freaky experience, I might add.
Perhaps it was the fact that I’d been watching episodes of Grey’s season 1 before I went to sleep, but my fevered brain made it quite impossible for me to get much rest the whole night, because my dreams were filled with the strange cast of ‘Grey’s Anatomy meets House’, all trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Seriously, try sleeping when you have dreams of yourself in a hospital bed, with Meredith Grey yelling ‘Code Blue, Code Blue!”, intubating you and everything. Plus Gregory House and team coming up with strange differential diagnoses for you.
Not. Fun.
Oh and did I mention the whole simultaneously feverishly hot and bone-chillingly cold thing?
And the headache?
And the waking up every 2 hours to pee?
yeah
But well. It’s now three days after that hellish night, and I am getting better, thanks to antibiotics and paracetamol. Although the negative side effect is this perpetual fatigue and a headach that refuses to go away that makes doing any work quite difficult. Especially reading Wordsworth’s poems.
sigh.

Hi, my name is Yu Ying and I’m an email addict August 6, 2008

So ever since I started watching Gossip Girl, with all the cool smart phones, Blackberrys and etc, I’ve been toying with the idea of getting one for myself next september, when it is again my turn to spend that M1 voucher my mother gets for using her phone a lot.
Then I went out with M today to watch The Dark Knight again (OH MY GOD, IT’S SO GOOD!!! WATCH IT!!!) and in our wanderings, we entered an M1, just for fun. And I saw this pretty pretty Nokia phone:
the nokia E71
BUT, and yes, there is a but, even though it’s très joli, the buttons are a tad too small and close together for my plump little thumb (haha talk about oxymoronic..) to handle—I don’t think the point of these phones is to send gibberish on the go, right..?
BUT! and yes, there is another but, I saw this phone:
the samsung F700
It, too is verry pretty, plus, it also features a touch screen! haha. (plus, it’s like the phone B uses in ep1, hee)
As M says, getting such a phone will only serve to make me more addicted to my email, but hey, at least my addiction won’t cause an accompanying backache from lugging my laptop to school just to check my emails..haha.
ooh, the thought of reading online fics on the bus/train home is such and appealing one……
Sadly, though, they both don’t have particularly good cameras, and although I am planning on buying a real camera, a phone camera is extremely useful.
But whatever, now is so not the time to be thinking, much less lusting after sexy, glossy, and not to mention very handy phones. My time is in 13 months, thirteen!!
pfft.

I am kind of a freak.
When I’m feeling down, I take out my A or A+ essays to read to cheer myself up.
