Diagnosis

I stayed awake for Deshna's call at around 9am, and we had a lovely catch up chat. Its been good to talk to her day in and day out lately, I'm so lucky.

I slept from then until 12, to get ready for my doctor's appointment. I stuffed in some tuna in my mouth and went on my merry way. Dr Austin told me that I had glandular fever and he also found that I had atypical pneumonia so I'm on antibiotics for that.

Glandular fever? Well that's just rest rest rest. And I can feel it too, all I ever want to do is sleep.

I'm also low on Vitamin D so I thought it was important to buy myself some Caltrate tablets!

Afterwards, I went to go eat lunch by myself and meet up with Ryan from my Engineering group to finish off the assignment. I saw this bin on fire, I got the worst photo of it - but here you go! I promise there was a lot of smoke but I got the photo when the wind blew it away... lame.

After meeting up with Ryan and finishing off the assignment, I went into the city to get more of my smorkin' labbit collection. I GOT THE SAME ONE FOR ONE OF THEM, DAMMIT! And its a shitty one too - the yellow smiley one..

I bought myself a pie from Pie Face (I'm in love with the chicken and mushroom one!)
Then I prank called James saying I was an operator from 3 and was wondering if he was interested in a free upgrade. He got sucked in hard and was answering all my questions and was believing that he was going to get another free phone with his contract. Sucker!

I slept until about 11pm, went to get McDonalds which was THE BEST QUARTER POUNDER EVER! I seriously wanted to run back in and be like, "Tell that burger artist that he is skilled" Yum yum!

Then I fell asleep at 1am.

I'm worried about my schooling and grades, I'm worried I'll bore everyone with my sleeping stories, I'm worried I won't be well in time for Japan

P.S Look how skilled I am, I knotted the snake inside my mouth! (this was my 2nd knot.. the first one broke into two when I went to take a photo :( )

Haiku

Yesterday hmm.. I slept until about 12:30, meaning I had missed my classes.
This is ridiculous, I can't believe how tired I'm getting! I'm actually genuinely scared that I am going to fail everything this semester, plus Japan is in 6 days.
What am I meant to do!?

I caught a tram and there was this girl smiling at me. I was like errr okay. Next thing I knew there was this man who just storms into the tram and starts screaming on the top of his lungs and marching up and down the corridor. I was so scared. He stopped right infront of me and just stood and stared down on me, then he flipped down a seat and sprawled all over the girl that was smiling at me.

She looked so scared and I would've been too. He just starts screaming at her and touching her and then calls his friend and starts ordering drugs at the top of his lungs like, "half a gram of the same shit last night, and oh a quarter of coca cola..it better fucking be the same shit i took last night.."

Anyway, she was freaking out so I was like, "Sarah! Come sit here with me!" and I flipped down a seat next to me for her and she was like "OOOH EMMA Thank you!" And we just started chatting like we actually knew each other but - I didn't.

I got off the tram and she said a huge thank you to me :)

Anyway, I went into the city to do a favour for a friend by buying a father's day gift for him to give straight after work. I ran into Nina who, I hadn't seen in like 4 years! The last time I saw her, she was about an entire head and neck taller than me and she was like my big sister.

I saw her from across the street and now I'm a head taller than her! She walked around with me to get the father's day gift stuff. Then I went to catch a bus to meet up with my friend.

I had the most loveliest and homosexual bus driver but he made my day! I had to wait for my friend to finish work for like 40 minutes because he got some unexpected jobs so I started writing really lame haiku poetry in the cold winter sun. You know how haikus work right? 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second and back to 5 syllables in the last line?

Sitting in sunshine
Basking in the warm glory
Absorb my sickness

Wind swishing my hair
As I wonder and ponder
What to do, to do

Waiting on a block
Hearing whispers from the cars,
secrets of the breeze

The birds are awake
Whistling to say hello
To a lonely girl

I inhale the smoke
Let it burn through my body
Now breathe out, Deena

Then I drew like random squiggles...

I took a photo of the sunshine, it was the first day of Sun I've seen in yonkers!

Me bored..

My friend gave me chocolates :)

Blood Test

Yesterday morning I felt TERRIBLY sick again, I know you're sick of hearing such repetitive blogging.

I couldn't go to school at all, and I felt better at around 2pm - so I got ready to go to the doctors - but the swelling had gone down but I was determined for them to give me some antibiotics or something. Even though I know antibiotics do nothing for viruses :(

Anyway I went to the doctor and she was like, WHAT? You've totally been misdiagnosed! We need to get a blood test because she thinks its glandular fever. Absolutely makes sense, very sleepy, lethargic, swollen glands (not tonsils), URTI - no swollen spleen though.

For those of you who know me, I'm shit scared of blood. SHIT SCARED. And the idea of it coming out of me? Even more shit scared. The last time I had blood test was so traumatic that it compounded on my fear as well.

Last time I was like, "OH I'm abit scared of blood so I'm sorry" and she just laughed at me like silly! You're a big girl now. And I was like :(
Anyway she was making me pump my arm and she stabbed in my left like about 5 times and couldn't get the vein so she just laughed it off and was like oh hahah lets swap arms!
At that time I was feeling so faint that I was like omgomgomgomgomgomg and she just yelled at me like, "Grow up! You're nearly an adult and you're behaving like this!" And I'm thinking, JESUS you're stabbing my arm multiple times and I'm scared of blood what am I meant to think!

Anyway she stabbed another few times into my right arm and couldn't do it either, she started stressing out so she got the Senior Nurse to do it. The Senior Nurse couldn't do it either (I was trying to keep my head from being conscious so bad at this point of time).
She had to swap to this needle and connected to like a machine pump and had to pump it out of me, she gathered like a whole bottle and she just poured it into a little vile and threw the rest out!
I felt so sick so imagine how scared I was for this blood test.

The doctor assured me that this nurse was awesome. That nurse really was awesome. She was in and out like a sweet apple pie and she just let me go dizzy into my hand and stare at these pretty pictures. I stood up and told her I had to sit back down again and she was like OKAY LET"S BREATHE TOGETHER, IN OUT IN OUT IN OUT!
Hahahaha

She was actually really good but I caught a glimpse of my blood and when I walked out I just collapsed infront of all the patients. Hahahaha, I woke up next to my friend who coincidentally was going to the doctors as well and she was just talking to me for the next 30 minutes to calm me down. I signed off and went on my merry way :)

That was pretty much my day, I played with Ethan for a bit but I wasn't very interactive because I felt sick. But look at how cute he is in his makeshift caboodle. I was the monster that he was shooting and killing.

My mum was actually going to fly down tonight to take care of me but I really didn't want to inconvenience her. I miss mum and I miss Desh.

One week until Japan!

Donovans

I slept forever or pretty much rolled in bed until about 4pm seeing as I slept at like 7am the previous day/night/morning. I went and got Subway with a friend and then had to get ready in less than an hour for my date at night ;)

This was probably like my first proper date since moving down to Melbourne, and its definitely my first fine dining experience. Well a normal fine dining experience.

My mum and I accidentally walked in on fine dining in Japan but it was crazayy.. like you pay 30 dollars for like 4 sticks of vegies that were sorted into crazy shapes.. or the entree was frozen in ice cube blocks?!

Chris picked me up and took me to St Kilda's Donovans.. it kind of took a while because he's a big lostie but we finally got there when it was raining. The people thought that we weren't coming but luckily they still had our seats. It was the cutest little restaurant, very cozy and warm, and a nice atmosphere provided by the candle lights. We looked at the menu and decided on getting the porterhouse steak for 2 and then the bombe alaska for 2. We were told that the steak will take 50 minutes to cook so we will have complimentary bread to sustain us through the waiting period.

50 minutes?! I was like, what kind of steak is this! That's crazy! I think I ate too much of the bread though, the bean paste was nice. Finally the waiter came over with this big lump of steak and was like, "Just presenting your porterhouse steak"
And I said, "Yep" but I think you were meant to say like "Wow that's beautiful" or some kind of approval. I had no idea, I seriously thought we waited 50 minutes for this lump of steak with no garnish and side dishes to just be placed on top of our table.

He came back anyway with it all cut up and oozing with garlic butter and mushroom onion on french toast thingy. The waiter split it between us two and I began to salivate. I remember Chris laughing at me when I popped the steak into my mouth, my face was literally like (O.O)! You cannot believe how scrumptious this steak was, I was seriously foodgasming in my seat and appointed this steak as the Best Steak Deena Has Ever Had Award. It had the right amount of crisp on the outside and the tenderness on the inside makes my mouth water.

We asked the waitress to wait for a little bit to let our stomach settle and then the dessert came. It was the most intense little marshmallow looking crazy porcupine thing I've ever seen! Hahahahaa but it was absolutely delicious. I couldn't finish it completely though, it was way too huge after steak, bread and Subway just like 2 hours previously! My bad.




Then I went home and did my maths assignment MER!

Justin

Today was Justin's birthday and a barbecue was in cue at his place! So I got dropped off to Kevin's house at around 1. We drove to Mill Park which is yonkers away btw! And we stopped by a supermarket to pick up some drinks and ice.

We ran into Koston and Brandon there, and I was teasing Koston all day about his drunken call to me last night after his aggressive episode and he kept saying he loved me throughout the 20 minute phone call. I think my favourite line was when he said, "How do I get into your heart? Do you want a cheeseburger? I'll buy you a cheeseburger!"

Anyway he was really embarrassed that that had happened, but he's embraced it and now we call each other lovers (Jokingly of course). We went off to Justin's and his house is so adorable!

The food was the BEST, we all sat around like family on a dining table and ate and chatted! I called my cup the Lil Jon Cup - you know that big party cup Lil Jon has and says "YEAHHHH" to? Yeah that's what it reminded me of. I got pretty tipsy off the mojito - though I had to say that it looked like pond water first.





Afterwards we played guitar hero until I got picked up by Chris at 5:30 to go watch my friends dance at a competition. We got there and Chris had to go upstairs with all the other contestants so I sat with Vlad and Jacqui.
This is Vlad, he was the one that taught me how to krump a little the other night.

I wore my black nike sneakers and Chris forgot to bring black shoes so he was just staring down at mine so he stole them to dance in and I had to wear these shitty canvas shoes that just seem like I'm wearing socks. And because it had been raining they weren't very durable!

All the dancers on stage to hear the results!

It was hilarious because my friends actually organised this crew like a month ago to just do for fun but they ended up coming 2nd. Their routine was so funny and cheeky I guess its not hard to understand why the judges loved them! They got 700 cash in prize money as well so everyone decided to party it up.

$350 was being spent on alcohol, $150 on KFC and the $200 will go to a BBQ next weekend. Chris and I volunteered to get the KFC so off we went! The first KFC we went to was closing in about 15 minutes so they denied our big order of 5 big mixed bucket feasts, so we travelled all the way near to the city where there is the 24 hr KFC and ordered our banquet. We waited for about 25 minutes for the food to be all freshly cooked and the staff were nice and packed everything and helped bring it to the car as well haha.



When we arrived at Jacqui and Wes' house everyone attacked into the food like seagulls!

You can see that I'm already tucked in eating next to the blue hat Steven.

I got pretty drunk that night - and I regret so much any of the following events that happened thereafter. All I remember is, girls dancing on top of me, me dancing on chairs, krumping against boys and crawling ontop of Linh. Even remember just screaming "Linh!" in everyone's faces that night. I am pretty sure I made an awesome impression on anyone who was meeting me the first time, oops! (That was sarcastic by the way)
Either way, it was super duper fun! Hahahaha

Hush

Well, today Wubs came over to make me a beasty lunch. The ultimato soup to make my sickness wilt and my energy prevail!
I was feeling so sick that in the 5 hours that he was over, I was probably asleep for 4 of them! Nevertheless, the soup was awesome and it really did make me feel a lot better! Thank you!

I then drove in the city by myself for the first time in my friend's car! I picked him up from work but I was so proud I actually even found the way without using a map!

Dinner came and I was close to calling it off because of being sick but I called it back on because I didn't want him to make the effort of bringing me takeaway. We went for Korean BBQ and that was the bomb. I know I always talk about Korean BBQ and say that was the bomb - because it really is.

Oh yeah guys, a pick up line you could use one day which my best friend Deshna loves is,
"Hey is your dad a terrorist?"
*Wait for answer*
"COZ YOU DA BOMB!"

Kevin and I enjoyed a massive feast of Gochujang Pork Belly, Marinated bulgogi scotch fillet, beautiful side dishes like kimchi, and a calamari salad! We both had calpico drinks, mine Melon his grape!



After dinner we went over to Hush Bar to join the others for drinks. I told myself that I was going to go home at 9 because I was sick. I ended up having about 4 drinks though!
It was a lot of fun until - my mate's girlfriend started dancing with these two black gentlemen and I pulled her over to me like "Come on dance with me!" But she was like "No!" and walked back over to them.
We were all like shit shit shit shit because we didn't want Koston walking in on the scene and it didn't look very clean either.
He finally came over and shoved the black dudes and they walked off like "Yeah mate sorry okay.."

But they were sneaky snakes, they ran all the way around to king hit Koston from the back and then shit broke loose. Luckily the security stopped it in time and kicked the two lads out but everyone was all worked up and Koston was angry and upset.

It was 9 by the time and I stayed for a little while trying to calm them down, but the boys went on a man hunt for those two lads so I decided to just go home - and wow I literally just crashed to sleep.

Yeah.. I look really sick in the photos.

Nailpolish

Well I painted my nails red for Tyson's Film Festival.. and I hadn't painted my nails in yonkers! It brought me back into the world of colour and so I wiped the chipped crimson red off the bed of my nails and bought me a teal coloured one from the local chemist.

Yeah in the polaroid it looks blue hahaha!
What colour should I get next? I told myself if I be a good girl I'm allowed to buy another one :)

I wore 5 layers that day and 2 layers on my legs, a beanie and occasionally a scarf if it got colder. I was sick of getting sick so I packed it on and looked like a snowman. I went to school like a good girl, and actually attended Chinese, the class I haven't been to ONCE this semester at all. The teacher was my favourite from last semester and he was really happy to see me!

Engineering workshop was the biggest drainer - and Calculus tute was a really fun class, my group I'm with are a bundle of fun so it makes implicit differentiation into a comedy strip. Haha!

Afterwards I baby sat Ethan again - and he gave me his favourite transformer car to take home. He loves that car so much so it was really cute when he gave it to me! Haha he is so cute.



Then I followed Chris to his dance practice and I was sick of studying there for 3 hours so I hung out with Vlad and he taught me the foundation to krumping. Hahahaha so don't bitches be messin' with Deena in the clubs because I'll just krump dat shit. Hahha okay I tried to have some ghetto lingo going on there but I don't think it worked at all, especially with my sweet, sweet, sweet innocent face *blinks eyelashes*

Then actually I had an emotional break down at like 3 am, I think my body was just really exhausted from lack of sleep and being sick and just relapsed. I thought about Deshna and how much I missed her and wanted her company and just balled out crying. Now you may think its sad but I thought it was triumphant because I haven't cried in ages and it was nice to see that I had a soft side. So I actually started giggling after my little pansy episode.

Oh by the way, this is me all attractive and sleeping when I had my allergies HAHA I will kill my friend for taking this,


And these two photos I sent to Desh when I was getting ready for Tyson's thingy - one showing my hair and nails and the other showing the final and coat hahaha.
