I’m moving from Friendster’s blog over to blogspot’s page. 1 reason is that I accidentally (during the initial phase) made Frienster notify each & every single friend of mine wheneva I updated my blog. 2nd is that I want a change. So, visit my new blog at:

Goodbye to Friendster’s Blog & WELCOME TO MY NEW SITE!
Experience in Memphis & Florida
I spent 1 week and a half in Memphis & a week in Florida. Memphis is in Tennessee & that’s where Elvis was from. Justin Timberlake as well, at least that’s what i’ve heard. Going there in June wasn’t such a good plan cos the weather there is hot as hell. Steamy & dry. It’s like as if staying in a hot baking oven. I went wit my fren & bunked over at her uncle’s place. She had a 9 year old cousin who’s so very in love with cats. Haha… We stayed in the house most of the time with the air con switched on. So, wheneva we stepped out of the house, we could hardly bare the heat! Memphis is a town definitely bigger than Bemidji but somewhat smaller than Minneapolis. Blacks are beginning to dominate that area & the place is quite ‘discriminative’ because they differentiate very clearly the areas for the blacks & the whites. Well, who says America’s a liberal nation? Haha…
After a few days in Memphis, we left for Destin, Florida with Fang’s relatives & her relative’s friend (& family). So, there were 2 pairs of married couples, 1 nine year old, 1 three/four year old & 2 twenty year old girls. Stayed in a rented ‘double storey house’ facing the beach. The driving journey took up almost 8-9 hours. Tiring journey indeed. Florida’s a great place! The beach’s beautiful! Sandy white beach.. Men/ Guys in surf pants… Girls in bikini EVERYWHERE?! Hahaha… They cooked for almost every meal. We only ate out once. Of cos, the cooked meals were tasty & delicious… Went to this place called Big Kahuna, which is similar to Malaysia’s Sunway Lagoon. It’s much smaller though. I still prefer Sunway Lagoon. Really… Went to an outlet mall in Florida. Spent tonnes there… Another wonderful time shopping. Hehe.. Went to the port where we saw ppl coming back in their rented boats n the deep sea fishes that they managed to fish. Huge sardines, red snappers etc. But the foreigners just appreciate the fillets. They threw the head, the body, basically the rest of the fish away. What a waste… The best part, i think, was the dolphin cruise. At first, we were quite disappointed cos the dolphins weren’t showing up. But later there was a big pool of them swimming together. With the ‘music’ that the ship put on to attract the dolphins n the scenes of the dolphins swimming in unison, the whole feeling was extremely peaceful. Just felt so calm n relaxed. Somehow, the dolphins gave out a very pleasant feeling. Ah… Wonderful experience… Saw a shy sea turtle too!Yay!
Back to Memphis. They fed me alot cos i was gonna leave for home in a few days’ time. I guess this is when more weight ‘came’ into my body. Ate their famour bbq pork ribs. Ate like the most char kue tiao ever! $9 for 1 plate!!! Tht’s like RM30?? Hahaha… Ate a very delicious ice cream. Just continue eating & eating. Geez… Fat!! Came back to Bemidji all by myself. I’ve grown that little bit. Hahaha…
Almost left out 1 important visit. Went to Elvis’s home in Graceland. The entry ticket was around $20 & we waited for 2 hours for the bus to take us into his house domain. Then, we took 2 hours to finish touring his house. His house is tooo big! Unique, though… Interesting… We didn’t get to enter his room though cos it’s upstairs & it’s a closed area. Saw the living room, kitchen, pool room, basement, tv room, jungle room, horse barn, etc. Wow! Just awed… Didn’t go into elvis & lisa marie’s private plane & elvis’s car collection area. Had to add money for that.
Went to the casino as well. Not to gamble of cos… Underage… To eat this bizzare, wonderfull buffet in there. Not very costly I would say. Worth it meal…
Nice mid June Summer experience. Have lots of pictures. I might add them into the photo album. It depends. Too many photos… Haha.. Will blog about my visit to Shin’s place in my next blog…
It rily has been centuries since i last updated my blog. Kinda worried that friendster will close down my page for not updating haha… Anyway, I’ve been experiencing quite a lot through out my first month of sumer holidays.
I’ve officially moved into my new house. Each of us has our very own room. Small but comfy… N we’ve tidied n decorated the house. Like it… Don feel like shifting at the end of the year (hmmm?!) haha…These are pictures of my house - living room n my room. Tried uplodaing my kitchen but dunno y cant… I think my room’s a little too colorful (thanks to the carpet) haha…
next… I have a new camera! Hoorah!!! it’s a canon powershot, 7.1 megapix with alot of other side gifts like 1G memory card, angle lense, small tripod, lense cleanser etc. Not bad rite? Rily worth it lo… n i like my camera alot despite its bulkiness. actually i bought a 5megapix camera but the seller sent the wrong camera to me. So, wat the heck?! haha… bought for $280. Satisfied…
I’ve been working for the previous 1 month n 1 week. Yesterday was my last day of work. Rily alot of ups n downs through out the working experience. I was working ‘illegally’ in a chinese buffet restaurant from 10am to 10pm, everyday except for saturdays. Yup, no life… but earn money n save food expenses. I work as a "waitress" there, collecting used plates since its a buffet style restaurant. The owner n most of other workers are from Fuzhou, China n they speak their dialect which i hardly understood. The dishwashers are Mexicans. The restaurant’s business is rily good. My finger joints, wrist n legs ache like crap! Not to mention back ache…. What do i need to do there besides collecting used plates? Let me see… Cut fruits, pluck vegetables, wrap wantans, wash toilet etc. Practically anything n everthing possible. There’s no free time to stand around. Seems to "torture" the boss if anyone were to be seen free… haha… Me, the girl who doesn’t enter the kitchen, has to cut an average of 4-5 watermelons everyday, with a big knife! Thats y my wrist hurts… N i’ve learnt to cut honey dew in a proper way as well. When i first got there, i had a hard time cutting the fruits. But i can do better now although not as fast as the rest. I think the workers find my cutting techniques entertaining haha… At first, they din talk much to me. actually almost none talked to me. But during the last 2 weeks, everyone began communicating more n i’ve gotten to know them better. So, yesterday, i had mixed feelings. Happy that i’m leaving that tiring place n yet gonna miss them as well. Btw, there’s this mr.nice guy there who helped me alot. like alot alot! wheneva i need help, he seems to be always around to help. I remember there was this one when i was cuttig the watermelon (still not good at cutting it), i was havig a hard time, ending up cutting alot of its flesh instead of the skin only. he just came n said, u cut too much flesh. Then he pulled the cutting board towards him n started cutting it for me instead. I had to use 2 hands while he easily used 1 hand. Gosh! I was soooo amazed! He also helps to open the fridge door cos its so heavy. Wat else? Practcally almost everything including taking toilet roles n fortune cookies from hgih places (cos he’s tall). he’s a shy guy. Only started talking to me after i’ve worked there for 3 weeks. haha… anyway, i’m gonna miss the people n food there, esp the fruits! cos the fruits sold here are expensive n i wont get free fruits anymore… *sob sob* haha…
Another thing…. i stmbled upon a "weird" chef. Hes this chef in the old restaurant (i’m working in the restaurant’s newly opened branch) He’s like 40++ years old n he rily freaks me n my frnes out. My job included transport, so when he gave a lift home, i din bother all that much. But later, he invited me to his brother’s wedding. fang n i tot it’d be a good experience to see the weddings here so we decided to go. the lady boss couldn’t attend the wedding (the bridegroom’s a worker in the retaurant as well) cos she had to work on my behalf since i’m going to the wedding. Only the chef, the boss, fang n i went. the weird thing is that it seems that the whole restaurant’s workers weren’t invited except for me n fang (who worked there for only about 1 week). Hmm?! n the day before the wedding, the chef came to pick me up to give a ride home after work. He said he wanted to let me know where to wait for him the next day. N guess wat? He offered to go for supper which i rejected of cos. He even invited fang n i for lunch the next day! the wedding’s at 6pm n he wanted us to go out, have lunch etc at 12pm???? Weirdo!!! scary heck… N i accidentally left my house number in his phne n he daringly called fang n me during my day off… Ah!!!! Thank god i’m no more working there… this is the one thing i wont miss hahhahahah…
Gonna go to memphis on monday. then leaving to Florida from there. Looking forward to my trip there. MY first time leaving minnesota state. Seaside n all, here I come!!! wahahaha..
Finally back from the Twin cities - Minneapolis & St. Paul after 4 days & 3 nights. Tiring… But quite a fun experience especially all i’ve been exposed to is just life in Bemidji (a small town) thus far.
May the 13th
Went to the cities. A day i consider filled with "negative" energy. Y? It started off solemn for me cos the seniors were leaving. Some back to Malaysia while others with their own plans. Too much memories. So sad to c them go…
Later after that, called Hc & found out that his grandpa passed away. He was down. I felt bad for not being there for him. There was nothing much that I could do besides assuring him that i’ll call him & accompany him more often through the one way which is through phone.
Then later we were waiting for the bus at John Glas Fieldhouse. It was drizzling, heavy & light at times. We didn’t have a shade except for the area under the stairs. We weren’t sure whether the place we were waiting at was the place where the bus would stop. The bus was suppose to show up at 1.30pm but it didn’t. We waited n waited till 1.45. Yi and Fang decided to walk to another entrance just in case the bus might stop there. Then, Val saw the bus passing through from a far end road. I ran to the other side, wanting to inform both the gals but there was no connecting pathways. I had to run back to Val. She then went the other way to inform them while I waited to spot the bus. The bus, however, did not show up. So, yi n fang went to Pine Hall to make a phone call. During that time, the bus passed by our waiting area. I was chasing behind, trying to catch the driver’s attention but it was useless. The bus just zoomed by. Again, i had to run back, shouting from far towards Fang n yi to call back the bus service so that the bus would turn back for us. They immediately called & the person on the phone said that the bus would turn back. Phew! Running up n down in the rain… Seemed that the bus was running late. We waited at the side of main road while waiting for the bus. Slept through the way. The driver was new & he got lost quite a few times (despite the fact that he was 30 minutes late already).
Reached Minneapolis at about 7.30pm. Took the light railway transit to Mall of America. From there, a cab to the hotel. Went over to Walmart to get some stuffs that i forgotten to bring. Sneaked in the hotel with 4 or 5 (including Cassie) girls in one tiny room. Not bad room though…
At night, went out with Hans. Went to the park with the "cherry on the spoon" trademark sculpture. Darn cold. The car broke down at the gas station. Something was wrong with the battery. Han’s dad came to the rescue & we switched cars. That’s when the last unfortunate thing happened on that day - MY CAMERA! What happened? By next morning, i realized that my camera was MISSING! & we all assumed that it would be safely residing in han’s car…
Sunday - Shopping at Mall of America. It’s the biggest mall in America. Spent quite a lot. Hehe… Ate chinese food in the morning at Mandarin Kitchen. We ate DIM SUM! Hoorah! After 5 long months without proper Chinese food, we were eating to our hearts’ content. A friend of ours recommended that place & he told us to be there by 9am. We got there at 9.45am instead. The restaurant was only opening at 10am. Then, something strange happened. We were at the door looking at the time when suddenly there was a stretch of cars coming in to the parking lot. We could see alot of Chinese/ Asians coming down, walking towards where we were standing. Then, they started forming a line. We were soooo blur. I heard the guy behind us saying on his handphone "i’m second in the line". We were actually the first to arrive & there were more to come. The cars came in one after another. Finally the restaurant opened its doors. In less than 10 minutes, the place was packed & people were still lining up outside while the front cashier area was congested with peopl waiting to be seated. We had siu mai, ha kau, porridge, chee cheong fun (shrimp/beef), chai tau kuei, durian puff, tau fu fa etc. All the food that we couldn’t possibly have in Bemidji. A filling breakfast…
Went to the so called "Asian street" after that. Bought a lot of oriental stuffs - glutinous rice, sagu, noodles, shrimp paste, century eggs etc. Another shopping spree. All these things (again) are not found in Bemidji… Ate mexican food for dinner. Nice food, nice environment & sexy waitresses…
Monday - out with Hans. He brought us to the wildlife refuge but it was closed. We just walked around the "hikiing" area. Visited the national cemetery. It’s a place where soldiers or people who serve in the army were buried. It’s neatly arranged & well kept. Rily cool place… Didn’t even look scary haha… Ate Vietnamese food for lunch. Spent 1 n half hours in a book store. We bought darn lotsa books. There were alot of cheap books & there were psychology books that were hardly sold (if yes, they’d be expensive). Bought serial killer books as well…
Como park was the next destination. It’s like a small zoo. The weather was weird. Drizzling & sunny at the same time. The conservatory was cool. Loved the Japanese garden. Can hardly see huge roses back in Malaysia. Just beautiful!
Went to Han’s house after that. Tried finding for my camera. Tot it was in the car but no… It wasn’t… It was no where to be found. Not in the car, not in my bag, not in the hotel, not anywhere! It was rily hard for me to accept this fact… My camera was gone… for good… Dinner at Chipotle. Nice place. Intersting food… Liked the experience…
Checked out from the hotel early in the morning. The guy didn’t charge money for the 1 extra night we stayed. We just kept quiet about it. Took a cab to the airport (cos it was free hehe…) Then from there, the light railway transit to downtown n walked over to the bus station. 6 hours… & i’m back at Bemidji.
Can’t stay or even clean up our new house yet. It’s so darn messy… New things to "fan" about…
Summer, here i come…
1.45am. Feel like i’m lonely n there’s no1 to talk to. WAnna call Hc but he’s in class. Other frens? Sleeping or they’re not available.. Sigh…
Kinda sad n disappointed that i’ve been kinda wronged for the changes in my tots n the way I view life. I may have changed for the better, I may have changed for the worse, who knows? I was thinking maybe my change came too drastically for my closed ones to accept that they take it a little too harshly. I dunno.. THat’s my guess…
It feels like my POV is hard to be understood. Its kinda hard to share this view besides the few person that I know who advocates similar views as well.
I’m not blaming those who may have misunderstood me cos i understand that we were conversing based on different perspectives. Everyone has their personal values. Everyone has their very unique way of making sense of the world. So, there’s no right or wrong to it… It’s a very subjective issue. It’s a matter of perception nonetheless…
I guess changes come with consequences, good n bad of cos. Undeniably…
N again, I stress that I’m not being negative. I shifted my attention towards more realisticism. There are ideals in life n those hopes are the ones that keep us striving forward. At the same time, we need to face the harshness n reality of life. BALANCE, i would say, is the best…
I know I have changed. Good or bad, i dunno.. U decide…
It’s April 26th, 2006. Happy Birthday Shin!
My spring semester is coming to an end in about 2 weeks time. Time flies. Seemed like I was just here not long ago, still remembering the fresh details of when I first got here. All the unfamiliarity & awe. Really enjoyed the time when we were relaxing, a week before the spring semester started. Just plain leisure & fun. No worries about assignments, readings, group meetings etc. Taking our own sweet time to everything… Very soon i’ll have that chnace again. Very very soon. But before that i’ll have to go through a "death" session filled with assignments n finals n presentations. Let me see… I have a lit review due on next Monday & i’m hardly half way through it (was given the whole sem to do it & i super procrastinated; then again, i didn’t cos there were tonnes of things to do through out the sem). Then, I have Personality Finals on that week’s Friday. 2 big papers & 1 presentation due on the Monday after that. ARM paper n presentation due on the subsequent Wednesday. Dead? Sure thing! Everything just had to cram towards the end. Sigh… By then it’ll be the 10th of May. Have to shift our things to the new house either on the 11th or 12th & on the 13th, off to Minneapolis we go. N of cos the day, we depart with out seniors… *sob sob*
Things are getting better now. I’m well aware that i need to find a balance between reality and optimism. I know i was too rigid. I guess I wasn’t mature enuf to handle the messiness n ugliness of life. And another thing is that there are consequences that come with changes, whether they are negative or positive or whether it was anticipated or not. I think it was quite a blow to the ppl that i’m close with to see my drastic change in my thoughts, my philosophy of life. Disappointment especially… These changes can be good n they can be bad, if they are at the extremes. So, that’s wat i mean by balancing them out. Setting a "qualifier" so that i don go beyond wat i’m capable of coping…
I do think that love is fragile and we, humans, are weaklings that allow ourselves to fall into that trap of fragileness. Love is not a fairytale where a particualr prince of charming just comes into ur life n scoops u up in his strong arms, providing u all the security in the world…. BUT, I believe that love is ONLY fragile if we ALLOW it to be. If we want the love to strengthen, we can. If we want it to last, it can then last. We can if we want to! Effort is needed in order to build security. No fruits come without labor. I’m not all that negative cos i believe that there’s hope if I continue believing that there is…
I love Khoo Hau Chun!
… Thats all for now… Gotta continue with assignment… Sad life…
Yes… after giving the matter much thought, i’ve come up with a "subconclusion". It;s a sub cos it’s not the final. Haha… Lame… I don think i’ve come to a final answer but at least for now, i’ve found one that is good enough. I will eventually come up with an ultimate answer which is satisfying to everyone, esp to me n him.
Noone knows whether his or her partner is the "one". Nothing is absolute in life. No one can tell how the future is going to be like. No one can for certain say "yes, this is wat will happen". THings are just plainly unpredictable. 10 minutes, 10 hours, 10 days, 10 weeks, moreover 10 years down the road. Too much confusion n uncertainty in life. BUT… one thing that i’m sure for now is that
"We love each other & it’s not the end of the relationship. I definitely, without a doubt, still wanna be with him. I cannot guarantee what will happen in the future, but for now, he means a lot to me & i wanna be with him as long as possible."
I was lost. I didn’t know where I was standing or heading in the relationship. I didn’t know what to expect neither did i know what expectations or anticipations there were. Now, i’ve found my stand. I’ve found my "direction". It’s not leading to somesort of a future but at least, i’m sure of myself, sure of the relaitonship. Sure that he’s the guy I love. Sure that I wan him as a part of my life…
Does this mean that he’s the one? I dunno… May be to some ppl, yes the answer is obvious. But not yet to me. "It’s a matter of choice" someone said. I haven’t gone to that "stage" where i’m all that mature n conscious. Too conscious i would say… Someday, somehow, i’ll find out the answer myself. I’ll find out my own way of understanding this concept of "the one"…
I think i may have sounded a little too serious n heavy in my previous blog. Well, my mind was rily clouded… Haha…
It seems that i’ve lost my naive, optimistic self. Being so much more critical of life than i’ve even been in the past… I want that part of me back. Need more self reflecting to do. I wanna find that "me" again n reinstall but this time, with new n altered philosophies n values. A more balanced one…
Thank u for triggering such thoughts in my mind. Made me realize another point of life that i hadn’t realized before. Without threats, i wouldn’t learn to appreciate my relationship more. What is safe without insecurity. So, i’m thankful in a way… There’s always a positive behind negatives. Look on the bright side (look who’s talking haha…) An opposite pole to everything in life. No absolutes. No rigid boundaries….
Currently in a lost situation. Whole mind is mixed up. Very very mixed up & confused. Didn’t realize it until i verbalize those thoughts out. & i think i have indirectly impacted someone’s life (& mine of cos) with wateva i said… I didn’t mean it in a harsh way. I was just being truthful. Much too truthful I would say. Should’ve done it more sparingly. I truly apologize…
I’ve been exposed to so much things in such a short period of time - information overload, culture shock etc. It’s kinda scary to think that i’ve changed in less than half a year’s time. Then again, changes happen all the time. Life is dynamic. Who’s to say that changing is a wrong thing? Exposure to an environment which I hadn’t anticipated has rily influenced me a lot. I would well say that i’m more a mature person than I used to be (i.e. naive, innocent). The world isn’t as pretty as it seem to be. Of cos, i’m not being all negative & i’m still as hopeful & optimistic as I am before. May be not all that much anymore…
Coming to have this conversation with him made me aware of the values & thoughts i’ve constructed thus far. I realize i’m a pro-cognitive theory person. Much & most of the time (I;m not saying always), our thoughts influence a lot of how we behave & feel. Three variables of thoughts, feelings & behaviors are very much intertwined - inseparable. So, i support that life is a matter of perception. The way u think, even the way u verbalize what u think affects your attitudes & behaviors tremendously. Such as the self fulfilling prophecy. U act the way u act because of wat u think other ppl act towards u. Another notion that i support alot is that life is a matter of choice. Yes, i agree that there are many variables that contribute to your choice but ultimately, you are the final decision maker. To do or not to do, to go or not to go etc. It’s all in your hands. To choose is a different thing from the outcome. Whateva the consequences from ur decision is another aspect. & you have to live up to the responsibility of the conseqeunces that come from ur decision/ choice. Even loving someone is a choice. Some may argue that fate have brought a couple together but I believe that there is no fruit without labor. Fate may have predisposed the couple being together but it is choice that maintains the relationship. CHOICE, in my opinion, is a humongous part of life. No one can ever escape this dilemma…
Life is unfair. Nothing is equal in life. How much effort u have put in does not mean tht is how much you are going to get back from life. It may sound contradicting to my stand of life is a matter of choice but i did mention that choice made & outcome are two different things. Especially in a relaitonship. Don think of how much you have put in, think instead of how much u have not given in. How much can u offer. If u start thinking "hey, i’ve already put so mcuh. Enough. It’s ur turn" that’s when the relationship will take a sour turn. I believe that in a relationship, both parties would contribute, it’s just a mtter of more or less & that more or less is also a matter of perception. Again, i’m not all that "blah" about life. Just that, it’s a more realistic view. I am still hopeful but with limitations, i guess…
"I sometimes wonder if you’re the one" Tough line… Hurtful as well… Stupidly honest, this is the thought I had in mind. Come to think about it, i haven’t sort out why did i have such a thought. What is making me doubtful? What has shaken my stand? What went wrong? it’s not that the relationship is insecure, it’s not that we have arguments n fights often, it’s not that we don’t love each other anymore. I seriously have no idea… love has faded? I don think so cos i still love him. Can someone pls help me resolve this issue?!
Sometimes things don’t necessarily have to last. Some things are meant not to last. At least beautiful memories are kept from there…. Weird thought rite? To me, it makes sense but it’s dfinitely a negative sense.
Having the thoughts of "is he the one? & things don’t have to last" are actually risks to my relaitonship. Where did these thoughts originate from? I dunno… I know i have hurt u, i know i have… I know with all these "weird" thoughts of mine, it might just jeopardize our relationship. Not only that, my personality, the way i live my life are threats to our relationship as well. I know u’ve tolerated me so much in so many ways. I’m thankful & i love u… This, i think, is a shaky moment of my life. I’m having a doubtful stand. I’ll have to resolve this by hook or by crook. It’s just a matter of time. Somehow… I’ll come up with a conclusion, a conclusion that I hope will satisfy everyone.
HELP! I feel like breaking down… I feel bad… I feel mean… I feel horrible… I FEEL LOST!
Sigh…
Questions to ponder:
What is the point of being together if u c no future?
Why do u not c a future with him/ her?
I know it’s been centuries since I last updated by blog. Those of you who are keeping yourselves informed through my blog, i apologize for being "irresponsible".
Festival of Nations is on this Saturday, April 8th 2006, from 3pm to 7pm. It’s a yearly cultural event organized by the International Students Organization (ISO). There’s gonna be performance, games, foods, merchandises etc. Fun! Fun! Fun!
Almost, or should I say all, international students are involved in this event. Seemed like we’re all multipurpose. Haha… My gang itself is gonna be involved in 2 performances - 1 singing & 1 dancing, dessert selling, ticket selling, chinese words writing? (Maybe…) Anyway, it’s definitely gonna be a busy busy day.
Since last Friday till today has really been a hectic week for me. We finally decided to go ahead with the Indian dance after much contemplation (i.e. last minute, no song, no choreographing…) Well, there wasn’t much of choice since they told the press that there was gonna be an Indian dance. So, what the heck… Intensive practice since friday night, saturday morning & evening & Sunday evening. Then, practice on Monday & Tuesday night from about 10-12++am?? There’s practice again today & of cos tomoro. Man, this is seriously taking up alot of my time & energy & everything. Then again, this was wat to be expected the day we came up with this decision. Too late to regret now huh? Went for costume shopping yesterday. Took us 2 & a half hours just to decide on the proper & suitable clothing for the dance. We’re glad that everyone liked our choice of the costumes. Cost about $30 for each suit. Liked the skirts’ "cling-ing" sound. Haha… Were practising yesterday with the costumes. Then, just went ahead to videotape it for the hall video competition. There was another bunch of guys who were doing their video as well (we were all at the lounge) & they were sooooooooooooooo irritating. Disruptive! Haha… & out of no where, 2, or should I say 3, silly "drunken" guys came along & danced with us while we were practising. Shitty people!
There’s also ticket selling everyday. Have to help out.. Sigh..
Super tiring… There are still so much major assignments to be done & here we are, practising for FON. & Driscoll wants a bibliography by thi Friday when I don even have the title chosen out yet. Excellent! Just Great! What am I gonna do? As usual, drowning in the midst of assignment.. I NEED HELP!!!
University life can be fun but it’s sucky with all the reading & assignments due.
Wish all stress will end really soon…
Yes… Who says US is a safe country? Maybe wat have been said is true - the "safest" place is the most "dangerous" place. In a way, i’m glad that I chose Bemidji cos it’s a quiet town & the criminal activities here ain’t so prevalent, or that’s wat I think. What i meant by dangerous is the DISEASE that’s been spreading around since I dunno when… Quiet a few of my friends have been falling sick recently.
… I stopped halfway the last time i was blogging about this & left it saved half way. Anyway, as i was saying, friends falling sick. The previous time we visited a friend who had high fever for almost 2-3 weeks & it got so serious that she had to be hospitalized in the middle of the night. Her fever was about 109F, about 40++ Celcius? It was kinda almost near "fatal". The doctors suspected her of having hepatitis & the results wont be out till the day after cos Bemidji’s a small town & there’s no other choice but to wait for the report to come back from the city. She looked pale & we all felt sorry, scared at the same time cos it could’ve happened to anyone of us. There was a whole big crowd in her ward. We prayed & wished her well. Now she’s all healthy & smiling again. Hoorah! Btw, it wasn’t hepatitis…
Another friend of ours got sick as well. She had high fever too. About 6 of us went to the hospital with her along with Mama & Kaitlyn. It was 12am at that time. The doctor made her eat some kinda pill & told her to wait for an hour to see if her temperature would go down. So there we were, all stuck & stranded in the hospital, waiting for her to be called by the doctor. We waited & waited & waited. Finally, they called her in at 2.30am. Again, we waited & waited & waited… By the she came out, it was almost 3.45am already. We were all tired & sleepy. But glad to hear that she’s ok. Just plain infection i think… She’s also all healthy now..
People, keep yourselves healthy for goodness sake! Drink more water… & Vitamin C?? Haha…
