Midnight in July

Okay, *clears throat, sitting straight* it has been a very long week. Or month? Anyway, i had thought of leaving an update last Sunday but i got too occupied... with laundry, cleaning n tidying up the room.

There was a box under my bed, filled with stuffs which i had planned on sorting out ever since we moved into the apartment in October last year, but i only got around to do it last Sunday. Finally! i guess i can now say that i've officially completed the move and settled in hohoh. Took me a long time huh? i was quite proud of myself last Sunday - that's the longest procrastination yet, and i'd finally put an end to it. I'd like to point out that i had too much preoccupation but that would sound like an excuse haha. Lame.. Anyway, it was a good day since I accomplished much of my to-do list and had a good dinner out ^^ my craving for samgyupsal and jjajangmyun was fulfilled hahah. Yes, it's surprisingly pleasant to find a nice, small korean restaurant here. That and the chinese restaurant across the campus are the only places serving food that i consider closer to the kinds of food i'm used to having back home. At least, those little things help me cope with my daily routine since i have something to look forward to - especially when i'm getting bored of eating the same food or too tired to cook.

Aah, so the 1st internals has just passed. I could have done better but the only thing i remember was sitting for it in a somewhat fatigued state huehue. 2 weeks flew by just like that. The clinical/practical part was a new experience though. I actually had a patient i could communicate with comfortably in english.. so thankful. I feel i had more connection then, since i had my own share of frustrations due to difficulty in communication during our postings. I always feel that i have to do more, learn more.. but sometimes my body and mind just can't seem to agree huehue.

Hm, this update is taking longer than i anticipate since my space-bar is making it hard for me to type properly. Yes, sometimes this laptop gives me frustrations too, especially when i need to do my commed assignments arghh.. and i thought handwritten ones would be sufficient *sigh* i didn't expect there to be more than 2 or 3 typed assignments, all in thesis-like formats. Oh well, i can't possibly lash out at the faithful 5 year-serving laptop. It's not like i could go out and buy a new one now, i can't get rid of it easily either.

Let me see, current updates:
-bought a keyboard about a month ago to mess around with haha - i missed playing some notes although i'm not good (it's been years since i stopped playing!);
-planning to buy ricoh ad-1 soon, since i found a good bargain, film i know but hey, i love films! hehe.. and old junks (not rubbish), old buildings, etc. Call me sentimental, i don't care ^^ dad used to comment about me liking old stuffs, but maybe i just like something with history?; and
-i think i'm undernourished haha.. yes, i think i'm chubbier but maybe that's just fat i'm gaining and my metabolism is slowing down but i feel i lack some nutrients in my diet, my skin and cycles seem off too lately - i'll see what i can do about it, i don't want to be sick either (i know mom likes to freak out when she hears such things. Well she doesn't have to).
-it's entering august and it's gradually getting colder here - i'm starting to wear sweaters in the house again..

Hm i think enough of updates. I wasn't really in a cheerful mood tonight but a chat with a friend lifted my mood up a bit - much appreciated. A junior posted this song on her page - it's an old favourite of mine and i haven't listened to it for quite sometime. Somehow puts me in melancholic/sentimental(?) mood. I'm ready for bed huehue. May God bless you all..

p/s i used to think Leehom was cool! he was the piano-playing heart-melting hot guy haha.. he's still cool ;P

July!

It's Monday!
I don't have the Monday blues today, because it's off-day!

I'm not sure why, but there seem to be some kind of strike(?) going on today. The information I received was that all classes and postings are cancelled due to "mogok" (strike), and the reason for that strike or whomever are involved in the strike is unknown to me huehue. Anyway, people said it's probably due to the increasing oil/gas price.

Since there's no class today, I thought I'd do some studying, which is still not showing any progress (><) Took nap twice this afternoon. Haish...

I'll try my best to be productive. I actually had to stop in the middle of typing this post because of power cut-off hohoh.. happens quite a lot here -.-"

By the way, the cause of the strike is confirmed. I had a phone call awhile ago and my friend was coincidentally listening to a radio news report regarding this hohoh.. Another thing that is quite common here - strikes ^^ I guess the people had a lot of things to their discontent huehue. This time, it's the oil price hike. Well, as long as it's done peacefully without any public chaos, I'm fine.

Okay, I should really start living the life I'm supposed to live now - student life huhu..Time to start reading and revise -_-
