A nice day

When in mood is right, everything seems good. Even the bad things doesn't seem so bad after all. We tend to look at the bright side of things and sees the shining light. Little things tend to make us happy. Gently lay down the troubles aside, not wanting it to destroy this moments. We can deal with it later. The once upon a time anger, frustration, dissapointment towards a person was gone when I finally get a chance to meet her. Thought that a defensive battle of words was needed to protect myself. But it seemed to be a calm and peaceful discussion. A little useful, a lot more could be given. But it has always been this way, work hard on my own. Nothing more I could asked for. A short phone conversation but was enough to carve a smile. Additional conversation was not expected but ever more glad to have it. The excitement on the other side made me have something to look forward to. It felt so welcoming yet formal. Looking back at the problems that I faced for the past few months, it amazed me. Never realised I have gone through so much. Yet there will be more to come. I survived and I will continue to survive. Whether the following days will be easy or tough to face, that's to find out. No point worrying about the future when there are heaps to do at the present. Cheers and have a nice day!!

Sickness

Sickness is when:

• your body is telling you that you need to slow down after rushing all day long
• you need to get some rest and sleep
• you get some time off to love yourself
• you have to take good care of yourself because others can't help much

But sickness is also when:

• you realize who will actually look after you
• you find out to what extend others care about you
• you see how insensitive some people can be
• you find out how dissapointing the way some people act

No matter how much care you have given out, at the end of the day you can only count on yourself. Nevertheless, there are still some beautiful people to prove that there is still love around sickness.

A weekend

HyeRim, a friend from Korea came to Brisbane for a holiday before heading off to Spain. She stayed at my place for the weekend. First, we had Fish 'n' Chips for dinner. One of the western food that she wanted to try. Haha. Then, we headed off to Milton for coffee. It was nice to be able to catch up after not seeing each other for a long time. The next day, they headed to Sunshine Coast. A trip to Queensland or Brisbane is not complete without a visit to the coast. Unfortunately, I did not follow them due to job obligation. Nonetheless, we all got ready and headed out for the night. It was only because she was there visiting that we agreed to go out. Kate, one of my housemate was so happy when we decided to go out as she has always wanted to but no one wanted to accompany her. Good for you gal.

The following day, we just had picnic at UQ lake. It was peaceful and quiet. It was simply relaxing and refreshing.

Last destination was Pancake house. Another thing to try while in Australia. It was a good gathering and meet up. It was indeed a holiday for the rest of us too =P

An Update

Oh boy... it has been busy busy. It is the last semester before graduation. Everyone is getting busy, busy with final year project, busy enjoying the last few months of being a uni student, busy earning money as a casual worker etc etc. I have been busy with my supposedly-done-with honours project. Having to repeat the whole lab work again at this time of the year wasn't expected at all and frustrating like-hell. All my attempts to avoid repeating my lab work failed. It was just too much to swallow, that I surrendered. I just do what I had to and what I could do. Really much thanks to those that supported me and gave me advice, my mum and my dear friends. I wasn't ready to give up my casual work at the same time. Call me crazy or greedy. I wanted to have both and I did it. I woke up as early as 6am to reach my lab by 7am. And by noon, I would be done with my lab work n started working at my sandwich shop. A few days of that routine was enough to drain all my energy. Then, it was QUM (Quality Use of Medicine) placement time. It was a full-time placement from 8am to 430pm. There was a project to be done and it is still on its way. It has been an overwhelming experience to date and it was getting more comfortable at the same time. Unfortunately, it did not get any easier. There were other incidences happening at the same time. It is during these rough time that we will find out who their true friends are. It is kinda obvious. Who is sincere and who is not. It makes me wonder what happen to all those friends that we have when we are all healthy and happy. It is also at this time that people's real personality shines. How helpful or how selfish can one person be? How much does a person willing to sacrifice for others (in terms of time, money and effort)? How two-sided a person is? How impressive people can be with their actions and thoughts? And how much is too much? I am fine. I am well. I am just breathing. Nonetheless, there are people out there to make my day. There are people for me to vent my anger and listen to me whine. There are people to transform frustration into laughter. There are people to share the love with. Love you guys!!
