Arm's Birthday

Arm's birthday is on the 4th Oct and so, we organise a home party for him on that day. I actually didnt know that there would be so many ppl coming over to my apt as i thought that it would be simple dinner. I had a project meeting scheduled at 930pm which i thought i could make it after the dinner. However, after hearing from the thai ppl that bout 20 ppl are coming over and there's gonna be a party, i had to cancel my meeting... Felt so bad...

But anyway, the thai ppl went to thai town to take away some thai food for the party. Then at home, we cooked some other food as the food that we bought wasnt enough as more ppl were coming.

Joy cooking:

They also bought hard liquor... wanting to make Arm drunk. Hee...

Cake cutting ceremony... Sweet huh...

Well after cutting the cake, i didnt really stay for the party as i went to Korean Town wif this new indonesian fren i made. He's in my Global Strategy class and i got to know him in the Mexican Embassy. Oh i forgot to mention to everyone that i would be going to Mexico from Oct 25 to Oct 27. Its a compulsory business field trip for my Global Strategy class... Cant wait to go... Heard its alot of fun. So, when i went to the Mexican embassy to get my permit, i saw him and we started chatting. He has studied in Spore b4 so we could realli click =)

Anyway Korean town was pretty nice. We had yogurt shiojiu and strawberry shiojiu. It tasted quite good =) Well i know i shouldnt be drinking since im sick but well... Hee... A little wont kill...

Sick... again =(

I had a shock today! Early in the morning when i was still asleep, the doctor from the USC health center called me and left a voicemail saying that she had to speak wif me regarding my lab results. When i heard the voicemail, i was pretty shock, thinking what had happened to me. So, i called the doctor back and the doctor scheduled an appt for me later in the day. Well end up that my haemoglobin (iron) level is slightly on the low side, while my white blood count is slightly elevated. While it doesnt pose much dangers, the doctor said that i could do better.

So, she gave me another blood test, a urine test and a stool test (trust me this stool test thing is realli gettin on my nerves). She wanted to find out why my iron level is low. And since my cough wasnt gettin any better and im having lots of phlegme, the doctor prescribed me antibiotics, a super strong cough syrup, and an inhaler for my breathing problesms. Well my breathing problems isnt that bad but the inhaler was for cases when i couldnt realli breathe well.

So, i went to the pharmacy wanting to pick up my medication. When the bill came it was like a whooping 110 USD! I was shocked. So Expensive! So, i asked her if i have the USD insurance card, do i get a discount and she said yes. It would be much cheaper... Like bout 45 USD. So i decided to go home and get my insurance card and collect the medication the next day so i can save money. I mean its too ex lor...

Anyway hopefully the medicine would help me to get well soon. This persistant cough is really irritating...

Good Grades AGAIN!

Yeah! I am like so proud of myself. Hee... There was this assignment for Advertising and Promotions whereby u are suppose to promote yourself to your future employee about one (or more) qualities about yourself. You can use any medium (video, demonstration, pictures etc) but there cant be any words, numbers or speech. The only exception is that you can use your name.

This assignment is graded on the effectiveness of communicating the quality, whether the quality is an appropriate quality, and whether the teacher understands you. And if you are creative you get bonus points =) What i came up with is that i took a sponge and wrote my name on it. I then had a clear glass with some water in it and i was like observing the glass, trying to understand it. Then, i put the sponge in it and it absorbs all the water and then i gave a "i got it" look. I was the only one who did a demonstration in class!

So, the teacher said that everyone started off with 8.5 points. If you communicate efficiently you get 1 more point. If it is appropriate for an employer, add 0.5 points. If it is creative and clear, another 0.5. This assignment is upon 10 points but the max u can get is 10.5. If you use words or numbers, points will be deducted accordingly. And guess what i got.... 10.5!!! I got 10.5 out of 10!! Hahahah. Although this is only an assignment, im realli happi and proud of myself =)

Sick =(

Im sick and yet again =( I fell sick after i came back from Hawaii last week due to an overdose of the sun. So, i took a 5 days course of anti-biotics from monday to friday and i realli got better. But who knows after the weekend at Orange County, i had a relapse. Sunday night was bad... Lotsa coughing, phlegme and nose congestion. So, i went to see a doctor today to check my cold and my hips. My hips hurt occasionally especially when i do vigorous exercise and i dunno why so i decided to go to the health center in school to check it out.

The doctor made me take a blood test and xray for my hips! She told mi to give my body a rest, apply hot/cold pressure on it, and no high heel shoes. I told her i have flat foot history and she said that i probably over-exerted my hips. Xray results should be out a couple of days and if nothing goes wrong then i dun have to go back. She even refer me to do physio therapy... I was like "huh? That serious?" But well im not gonna go unless it gets worse... Hee...

As for my cold, the doc took a lab test to see if there's any bacterial infection n stuff. Results will be out couple of days too. But i guess it shouldnt be tt bad la. I juz wanted some med to stop the cough and clear the phlegme coz it's realli irritating me. Everytime i try to cough out the phlegme it hurts my throat. Anyway i got my med and some cough syrup from the school's pharmacy so hopefully i will be up and well very soon!!

I miss everyone in SPORE!! Sorry no photos coz weekdays im miss goody and i stay home to do my assignments and readings... Oh ya and not to forget to chat wif my pretty mummy. My mummy was so funni. I was tokin to her on msn and i addressed her "hello pretty mummy" Then she responded "wha what a nice comment" Then i said "of course you're pretty. You're my mummy" Then she sae smthing like "my soul is lost".... Hahaa... SO cute rite =)

Orange County... SHOPPING!

I took a metro bus to Orange County to visit Vee on Sat. The ride was like 1.5 hours lor! Luckily Vee fetched me from the bus-stop =) We went shoppin for a short while before heading down to Vee's aunt's Thai restaurant to help out. Well coz there was a bdae party there so since we were free we went down to help out and have some free food and beer.

Free laboR!!

Hee actually not realli free coz i had lots of food and beer and free thai ice tea leave n e boba (pearls) for the tea which i can cook myself!

Do i look like a thai?

The funniest part was when i actually went on the stage to sing! Ha the customer wanted to hear mi sing some chinese songs so i went on the stage to sing. They have the lyrics but it was in thai style and not realli hanyupinying so i cant realli read it. But everyone loved my singing! Haa... So fun... End up the guitarist asked for my number... And some other ppl. See how popular i am =)

Vee was like so impressed with my singing. Hee but i thought i sang badly...

The next day, Vee took me to Ceritos Mall which i loved and adore so much! I bought so much nice and cheap stuff there! Lots of shoes too... Hee but i realli loved it. After shopping we went to meet Vee's fren, Jenny and had some bubble tea together. She's a nice girl and we arrange to go karaoke together some time =) Then, Vee drove me home.

Knotts Scary Farm!

Knotts Scary Farm is Not scary at all... Hee today i went to Knotts Berry Farm with all the Thai people. Due to Halloween, the theme of the park changed to knotts scary farm. We reached there at around 8 pm and started going to the various "ghost houses" whereby ppl dressed in costumes were supposed to scare other ppl. I was not afraid at all and Ben said that im cold-blooded. He was like so afraid and kept hiding behind Arm. Gosh i cant believe he is actually a guy...

But, i was afraid of the roller-coaster rides though. We took 3 rides and i grabbed Mon and Nut for the rides coz they sat beside me. Haha but well it was not bad. At least im better than Ben.

Ben's freaked out look

All the thai ppl and me... Im so extra.
