2nd day with family

It's tiring to be a guide. I think I may soon lose my voice. Too much talking. 

Woke up this morning and called the clinic. Thank god that they had slots available. So I went in at 10.30 to collect my test result. It's negative. Thank God. 

Started with my university. Had to be really patient. Everything seemed beautiful to them hence lots of waiting for photo taking. But I was telling myself, it's worth it la, they travelled so far to visit me and it's a blessing to be able to be with them. 

Went to chinatown. Had the famous vietnamese Pho for lunch. Haven't been to there myself, so first time for me too. It was really good. Mum made a mistake with her order but was happily surprised with the 'wrong' order. 

Walked around Chinatown. Bought sim cards. Bought some souvenirs already. Mum bought a 'cheap' jacket too, haha. As long as she's happy. 

For dinner, brought them to a Thai restaurant at the Darling Harbour. The place I went with him, the very first dinner place for us. I am glad they enjoyed the food. 

By dinner time, everyone was tired already. My younger sis wasn't feeling too well since yesterday. 

Myself, this morning, after receiving the result, I was feeling happy and relieved. And this lasted till dinner time. The stomach pain started again. 

No diarrhoea, no fever, no vomiting. Just dull pain in the abdomen/stomach. 

I had the probiotics before we left the house this morning. I thought I was recovering dy, who knows, sigh...

At dinner, I was quite worried dy. Started thinking....worrying...and I noticed I was being a little bit impatient. But luckily they were tired as well, so we came home early so everyone could rest. 

I started having Ultracarbon (activated charchoal in tablet form). Some say it's effective to absorb whatever toxins from food poisoning. Had I second dose. Going to bed soon. Hopefully this will help. If not I really dunno what else can I do dy. 

Also, tonight, I had a long conversation with parents. I finally told them about my deferral in uni. But I just briefly said that I got worried and stressed because of constant general ill feeling. And 'feeling emo'. Couldn't tell them anything about the past relationship. 

But I am glad they were able to understand and are ok with it.

  2. Glad to know the test came back negative!

    The pain could be due to anxiety/stress I think. I mean, since you don't have any other symptoms. Either way, hope you feel better soon. And post photos!

My Progress So Far

In my previous post, I made a list of the things that I wanted to do, in order for me to start thinking and feeling positively. I have moved into this brand new studio apartment. I have also been cooking up a storm. I could now simply heat up my food when I get home from work, without having to rely on expensive take-away meals. However, I haven't been able to tick off items 3-5 yet. The apartment could be tidier. I have no one to invite over for meals. And lastly, item number 5, I don't think it will ever happen. Couple of weeks ago, after moving in, I texted Jay. I asked if it was possible to have a conversation. I told him I wasn't being emotional, I simply wanted to talk. He declined. And my last text to him was: "I have given you 10 months". Recently, on Facebook, I discovered videos made by a lady called Xandra Ooi which I found highly helpful and inspirational. She would end each video with ".... be happy, always". Her ideas made tota...

Not sensitive

I am feeling annoyed for no real reason. Actually it's since last night. I was dismayed by his lack of sensitivity and reciprocation. How could he just leave like that. I know it was late, but honestly i felt a bit degraded. Should I tell him? But how? Perhaps it's just a one-off and hence it's not necessary to bring it up unless he repeats it? He probably didn't realise I feel offended, and am still feeling the resentment. He is usually sensitive but why? What's worse is that he probably thinks I am fine and did not even call me until I did so this afternoon. Well I told you I got to do my readings in the afternoon, but you could still ask me out for dinner. Totally not in the mood to do anything. It is tormenting having to guess what the other person is thinking/doing/feeling. I need a stress ball or a punching bag right now!

How long is 20 months?

It's been almost a year since I last wrote. So what prompted me to write again? I still haven't gotten over Jay. He left in June 16? Yes, its now March 18. Shocking right,? How can someone, especially someone like me who can be so determined in my career and studies, who is so rational in all other material aspects, fail to marshal the power to put an end to it. I wanted to write, to remind myself how much time has passed, as his second birthday post our breakup is coming up. Last year, I mailed him a gift and a card. There was no reply. He finally agreed to meet over lunch about half a year ago? I texted him on a monthly basis to say hello. He would give me a simple reply if he felt like it. There was this perpetual urge to see him, to talk to him. I took photos of the baked goods I made. I used the 'save' feature on Facebook to save cute or funny videos. I hoped one day I would have the opportunity to show him all these. How foolish. I noticed I did ...
