I had a great day!

I didn't know it was going to be a great day when i woke up this morning.

In fact, sleep was so bad last night. My balls were so dry and was so itchy and prevented me from falling asleep. [too much information maybe?]

And I had nightmare. My 'boss' at work who is like a super patient guy normally yelled at me in the dream.

Went to see my supervisor. Halfway through the meeting, another prof. appeared and told me that I could be excused from the class next week! it's a class which is super not helpful to me at this stage. Gah, finally, though it's only 3-4 hours and it's only for next week, I m still happy.

And hmm...in terms of my work, my supervisor was happy with some parts and not so much with the other parts, so I have a lot more to do tomorrow. it's only like 2.5 weeks left. And I still have many chapters which i haven't even started writing!!!

But sometimes I really glad that I have this supervisor. And what she said today really made my day. 1) She asked if I would like to do some marking after my thesis! That's $$$
2) She suggested that we could work on a conference! (conference is not important, it's the confidence she has in my work that makes me happy)

So I rushed home from uni to have a meeting with at work. Super tired.

But then, in the evening, I got an email. Can't disclose too much yet, but hmm it's something I am looking forward to. And despite some obstacles, I think i m a bit closer to my goal.

I went back to work in the office after dinner coz I really wanted to get some backlog cleared. And I am planning to take leave so it's good to clear the old stuff.

Came home, around nine, and housemates were going to watch a movie. I didn't want to watch the entire thing at first. I was just standing, holding my cup, but somehow my housemates dragged me to sit down with them to watch it.

It's a Great Movie. It's called Patch Adams. I won't tell you what it is. And don't google it. Just download it and watch it. I can tell you what it is not. It's NOT sic-fi, NOT horror, NOT action, NOT cartoon.

It's inspiring and funny. Very funny in fact, without losing it's depth.

I had a great day. Hence, I want to write this down. I have not had such a great day for such a long time.

What really surprised me and touched me is that a great day just came to me when I least expected it. I am in the middle of a lot of stress.

But I am really thankful. Really really appreciate the day you have given me. Thank God.

I hope you had a great day too :)

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 ...

The "Emergency Contact"

Got a letter from the insurance company this morning, confirming that my conditions are not 'pre-existing'. Glad that they are willing to pay for my colonoscopy and endoscopy (with an 'excess' of $500, which means I would have to pay for the first $500 in a calendar year for any claims I make).  I called the clinic quickly to make an appointment for the procedures. The earliest they have is this Wednesday, so I will be 'admitted' this Wednesday afternoon.  The lady over the phone said that I must arrange for someone to bring me home after the procedure because I will be sedated (as opposed to anaesthesia) and under NSW laws it is a requirement that I go home accompanied.  I can't think of anyone really. No family, no friends, no one, just me alone. I told her I have no one that I can ask. I wondered what she thought, poor kid maybe. Fortunately, there is a specialised cab service that I can hire to escort me home.  Then, there was the pre-admi...

Life Too Gay

Secret Santa. Christmas gift 2013 to one of my housemates.  Had a test yesterday.  Went to the nearby Myer department store to look for a gift for the Secret Santa event at my accommodation. Budget was $10. Saw a lot of cute little inventions, most of them averaged around $20. Could have gotten something within budget but it wouldn't be as interesting so I decided to get this little duckling infuser. It's sightly over budget ($15) but it's worth the while because I think he likes it! (I think he still doesn't know that it's from me, he's also gay by the way) Gay much?  I got a box of chocolates, an assortment of mini mars bars, milky way, M&Ms, etc. To be honest, I didn't like it! I have been trying to avoid chocolates, so that I don't have to take in unnecessary calories. My chocolate quota is reserved for really down moments, when I really need to up my mood. But I still put up a smile la, my secret santa must be looking at me when I unw...
