Spent the day doing my last assignment in my uni life, suddenly everything seems so precious, so different to me when the time comes, even assignment doesn't really sound annoying anymore. I'm really going to miss here, miss curtin, miss this course that defeats my self confidence again and again, yet at the same time teach me so much in life. Tinge of happiness? glad that it's coming to an end after struggling for so long, ok i lied, i really wanted to continue struggling! >.<

It has been 9 days since i did a proper "a tinge of happiness" post and the reason being is I.AM.SICK.
and yes I'm still not fully recovered at the moment, after 9 days of rest, torture and medicine attack.
I'm not sure if anyone knows the existence of this blog, but I'm still gonna write down every single detail of the journey as a patient, because.. I wanna remember it, remember how I get it through all by myself, and remember what's the proper thing to do next time if it happens again *TOUCH WOOD*
It was last Sunday on the 2nd of Oct where I first had my sorethroat. I woke up early feeling extremely exhausted with a very bothersome sorethroat. After sending my V off to the train station, I came home to take a long nap. Went to another birthday party at night with booze, delicious home cooked food and wii involved. I asked to leave earlier as I could really feel something terrible is going on inside my body. Popped two panadols before sleep and the last thing I know was I was shivering in cold even I wrapped myself tightly with warm cosy blanket.
Woke up early the next morning at 8 am with very heavy throbbing headache and generalised myalgia, which is muscle pain all over my body. My forehead was warm to touch and the world was constantly spinning to me. No one to talk to, nobody to ask for help, I popped another two panadols and just sat on my bed and spaced out. The myalgia kept me awake for several hours before I was too tired that I fall asleep again.Woke up intermittently and took another 2 panadols six hours later. Was too weak to leave my room, didn't eat anything until night time.
Got slightly better on Tuesday morning, fever has gone PANADOL POWARRRRRR yet myalgia still lingered. It was a very bothersome symptom, no matter what I do I constantly felt like someone is pinching/putting pressure on my muscles. Forced myself to take liquid food and bread. I wish V is around to take care of me, to hug me when I'm feeling this vulnerable, yet I'm alone, in despair. Took cold and flu tab before sleep.
Muscle pain got better on Wednesday, had to go to uni anyway. Developed cough, didn't care much about it because I don't usually have any problem with my lungs nor my respiratory system *proud* Cough got worse at night, it kept me awake. Imagine when you are almost falling asleep and someone tap you on your chest to wake you up, every 15 mins or so, that's how I feel.
Cough worsened even more on Thursday. I literally coughed so much that I had to sit on the floor to calm myself down. My chest hurts. I feel out of breathe. Still living in denial that I'll get better soon. Went to pharmacy in uni to get dry cough syrup, it's sad to say that the pharmacist who works in a pharmacy in a uni which has one of the most difficult pharmacy course in Australia, is not professional or helpful at all. Fine. I bought it and went home with some difflam lozenges donated by my friend. Sad to say that cough persisted at night, so this makes up to 3 consecutive sleepless nights for me.
Woke up early on Friday morning for my debate assignment. Coughed throughout my debate session, I think I'm the worst debater ever, but my mind was too weak to care. I left right after my session to get some nap but failed. Couldn't take it anymore so I gave in and made an appointment in a clinic near my pharmacy. Called up cindy to drive me there, and there goes my $60. The doc is really obese, which reminds me of the complaints from some customers who came into the pharmacy haha. I think he's quite capable though, and guess what I.HAVE.BRONCHITIS. which is inflammation of my bronchus. I seriously can't comprehend how the heck it happens, but I'm so glad I decided to go to doc and have things sorted out. I was prescribed amox for a week and fatty doc advised me to have long steamy bath and drink HELL lots of water for my dry lungs. Went to work right after that, and my lion king colleague was kind enough to help me to get the antibiotic for only $2 instead of have the script dispensed at the cost of $22.
So now I'm still on the antibiotic, coughing still persists at night, which makes up to.. let me see.. 6 sleepless nights. I cough during daytime so sometimes if I don't have class I'll just sleep through the day but I suffer more when I have to go to uni early in the morning. I took some free polaramine from the pharmacy to put myself to sleep but didn't work, so as rikodeine. My chest feels heavy, I guess this is how asthmatic patients feel huh.. Today I kinda threw up 3 times after coughing in uni, wasted all my food, but I don't feel ill or unwell, such complicated feeling.
First food poisoning, then period, then flu and now cough, how great.
I guess I still manage to get a few tinges of happiness for my sick week.
1. $2 antibiotic! I save like $20 on the med in my pharmacy! I'm really happy and grateful to be able to work there, the staff the customers the boss =)
2. Had a video call session with my family last week and they never fail to crack me up! The special warmth that you can feel even through video images of your family on your laptop screen, is incredible. I'm a blessed kid, to have them =)))
3. V was extremely nice, soft spoken and caring to me when I was very sick. I think we just got used to being mean to each other so much that a simple word of caring seems rare and special to me. I know he always has me in his heart =3
4. Got my first pay as an employee last week! There's some mistakes with the amount but hey this is the money I earn all by myself! so proud! More to come and please please get more jobs! =)
5. I edited my resume and sent it out to other pharmacies and one of them said it's impressive! *shy*
6. Randomly found watrercress in a new oriental store, bought two big chunks without much thought, cooked it with pork rib and the taste of the soup is superb! Reminds me of my mom =) I can be a good cook too!
7. Tre and Cindy came over and gave me a bun just to check if I'm ok, so blessed =)
8. Went to a birthday party for a coursemate, had two shots of vodka and that's honestly fun and funny at the same time!
It has been a while since I wrote such a long post, but I guess the time spent is worth it. One day when I'm fully recovered I'll look back at this post and gave out a victorious laugh HO HO HO. Ok lame bye

Dedicated to my V
一閃一閃亮晶晶
Sparkling stars
留下歲月的痕跡
Leave behind the traces of aging
我的世界的中心
The centre point of my world
依然還是你
is still you
一年一年又一年
Years by years
飛逝僅在一轉眼
Everything passed within a blink of eyes
唯一永遠不改變
The only constant
是不停地改變
is the never-ending change
我不像從前的自己
I’m not the person I used to be
你也有點不像你
You too, don’t look like how you used to be
但在我眼中你的笑
But in my eyes, your smile
依然的美麗
is still as beautiful as ever
日子只能往前走
We can only walk forward
一個方向順時鐘
Just like clock only goes in clockwise direction
不知道還有多久
I’m not sure how much time left I have
所以要讓你懂我依然愛你 就是 唯一的退路
So I have to let you know, I still love you, this is the only route I have
我依然珍惜 時時刻刻的幸福
I still treasure every moment of happiness (with you)
你每個呼吸 每一個動作 每個表情
Every breathe of yours, every movement, every expression
到最後 一定會
Till the end, I will still
依然愛你
Love you
我依然愛你 或許是 命中注定
I still love you, maybe it’s fated
多年之後 任何人都無法代替
After so many years, no one can replace (you)
那些時光是我這一輩子最美好的
The moments (we share) is the best time in my life
那些回憶 依然無法忘記
The memories (we have) is unforgettable
我依然愛你 就是 唯一的退路
I still love you, this is the only route I have
我依然珍惜 時時刻刻的幸福
I still treasure every moment of happiness (with you)
你每個呼吸 每一個動作 每個表情
Every breathe of yours, every movement, every expression
到最後 一定會
Till the end, I will still
依然愛你
Love you
你每個呼吸 每一個動作 每個表情
到永遠 一定會
依然愛你
Lee Hom's new song, reminds me of us =) it took me a while to translate the lyrics to the most accurate meaning I can match them, so that you can read and enjoy the song as much as I do =)
I wish we can be as sweet as the lyrics (except the breaking up part TOUCH WOOD!) I wish that after we have to be apart for years after my graduation, even we are not the same person we used to be anymore, we still love each other as much as we do now.
I know it's a bit too early to think about this now, but I can feel the emoness and sorrow in me already! To think about only seeing you once in 6 months, there's so many uncertainties in front of us, I'm so worried and terrified, this song soothes me a little, if you do share the same feeling after listening to this song, I believe we can manage this relationship no matter how far apart we are =)

Last day of september
Tinge of happiness of the day
Went to curtin's pasar malam event after work with V for malaysian food hunting, had beef satay and a totally overpriced longan drink, most stalls were closing as we went there around 9, but I still enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Can't believe this will be the last time I can attend this. I'm so emo recently! to think about going home and stuff... there are so much more things I wanna do as a student! =( okay isn't this tinge of happiness blog? hmmm

Sunny thursday
Had the best time ever for a birthday celebration at HK bbq, followed by san churro and cake cutting ceremony (the cake is honestly too fugly to be cut in public) in bday boy's house. The laughter, random chit chat, discussion about the stripper we hired for someone else's bday a couple years ago, the delicious food, candid photo shooting, I laughed so much that I forgot about the cramp, even though they came back as soon as I rest on my bed >.< Defo one of the moments I would miss when I leave this place =)

Sunny wednesday, sorta had the wrong thick outfit due to the misjudgment from yesterday's weather. Was late for class as I gave away the last bus seat to another person and chose to walk to uni, and ended up in the wrong class.
Little tinge of happiness of the day
Perfect weather so I went to mall with V, bumped into friends and had a free ride home. Finally can eat without feeling nauseated! Dysmenorrhea is unpleasant though. Food poisoning followed by pms is a tad too much for my weak body to handle, but I'm a happy girl.
