Longest Period of Time I Have Been Sick

I have been sick since the 22nd of January and continue to be so.

I first fell sick with a sore throat. By the end of that fateful Tuesday I was shivering and chattering with an imagined coldness and suffering from a fever. from there, I had a fever than lasted 3 days, subsided (TIPU me!) and came back in force on Thursday night right after I came back from the Spring Charity Fashion Show 2008 held on the 24th January. I had the beginnings of a terrible cough choke full of phlegm and colored a disgusting, sickly yellow and occasionally speckled with blood.

Yes, BLOOD!!! I mean, wth!!?!

So I'm coughing up gobs of these disgusting stuff the whole time from Wednesday when it got progressively worser and sounded like something was dying and wailing its death cries; till now.

Well it got better, not that the Sedilix-DM cough meds given by the doc helped. Dr. Yii is a very nice doctor and he charges reasonable prices but this time around what he gave didn't really help. well, the panadol and the antibiotics helped with the fever and everything which went away by the next monday, but the cough meds were almost useless. Finished rather fast too.

It has been almost two weeks and it has been rather debilitating in the fact that I've barely gotten any spring cleaning done and also the fact that I still haven't found time or the energy to properly shop for reasonably priced and decent shirts, a jeans and some shoes/sandals/or something for my feet. Or get a hair cut. I just sometimes have no mood, especially after getting back from work. That and NO transport. [T_T]

And that's such a terrible prospect in a way because I always worry what my mom will think or say about what I buy. It always is. I don't wanna be criticized until I never wear the clothes ever. Happens to quite a few things I buy. I buy them, she doesn't like them, she nags or criticizes, but I can't return them, I wear them a few times, then never wear them again.

So sometimes I have clothes/items that...rot basically.

Argh! Oh! also, I have yet to blog about the Fashion Show. I didn't take any pics as I was sick but I will blog about it...and maybe have pics and related stuff. Even though it's old news lo. Ahahaha....

Results: Semester 1/2007

Some of you probably know what results I got already. Today, I just went to get my result certificate after completing one of the surveys I didn't complete the other time. Well, all I got was a crappy looking piece of A4 paper with my results printed on it....not even nice Conqueror Paper!

It states my name, course, address and other details. And of course! my results:

================================================
COURSE DESCRIPTION =======>|| Cr. HOURS || GRADE || Cr. PT
HBM110 - The Marketing Concept ==>|| 12.5 || P || 33.38
HDMD101 - Design for Multimedia I =>|| 12.5 || HD || 50.00
HET113 - The Internet & WWW 1 ===>|| 12.5 || C || 37.50
HMB110 - Quantitative Analysis ====>|| 12.5 || D || 50.00
================================================

You know what this means? It means I got a Grade Point Average of 3.42! It's not as high as I want it to be... I expected an extra Distinction, but oh well. And the Pass grade for marketing was slightly surprising because I'd expected at least a C for that...I studied the longest for that subject. Thank goodness I passed it though because I know from the lecturer for that subject that loads of people failed it! I think nearly half or more! Grade were mostly Pass or NotPass... [._.] waffer! hope ur remark goes positively!

Surprising as well was the Credit grade for Internet which I expected to be a D...but then I messed up the paper because I didn't really study for it....a few hours only.... [@_@] ;; ahahahaha......*swt*

The Distinction for Quantitative Analysis was the most surprising as I know I'm not very good in Maths subjects really... they freak me out. I was real paranoid a bit about this subject. But I know I did study and do the revision questions and sample questions tho I left out the super duper hard revision questions at the end of the book we gotta study for the subject. Mostly self-study...but Ms. Lee Ming Ha was very helpful and explained any questions I couldn't answer, very well! She's very patient and attends well to you personally during tutorials if ya got any questions! [x_x]'' Gonna kinda miss the TI-83+ calculator though. It's a bit fun to use. XD

The High Distinction for Design and Multimedia I, was kind of nice..... because...well... I think I spent the most time on it? [@o@] going through all the tutorials learning so many things....Flash scared me the most. When I first opened the program and saw the interface for it... I wanted to faint! It's so scarrrryyy~ so many stuffs on it.... totally didn't know how to use... The tutorials were very helpful... [>_<] had to have a crash course in Flash and stayed bugged to the computer for hours on end looking at tutorial videos and learning how to use it, even during meals!

Lol~ I actually didn't like my second main assignment where we had to make this flash animation...cuz it was so messy and not detailed enough. The trees had jagged edges on the leaves!!! Amazingly the lecturer Michael Lee liked my assignment...even asked me go see him to discuss refining it after one of the presentations... *swt* ahahahaha.....

Most importantly though!!! I passed all my subjects and that my dears, is the happy mark for me!!! XDDDDDDD Since I did better than I expected overall, although getting a Pass grade is a bit dampening....and frightens me a bit to think I nearly might have failed....the results are good and, better than happy, it is now, happy happy marks!!! Yay~~~~!!!

Let's hope I don't fail anything next sem! [^-^];;;

Ketsuekigata / Blood Type Meanings + Character Profile

The following is a printed article from I don't know where, but I'm leaving it here. It's rather old, and is about the meanings of blood types:

You have probably notices that in character stats from Japanese anime, manga, and video games, that the blood type if included. this is because in Japan some people believe that blood type tells something about a person's character, much like astrology.

A Blood

People with A type blood have a deep-rooted strength that helps them stay calm in a crisis when everyone else is panicking. however, they tend to avoid confrontation, and feel very uncomfortable around people. A types are shy and sometimes withdrawn. They seek harmony and are very polite, but all the same feel that they never really fit in with others. A types are very responsible. If there is a job to be done, they prefer to take care of it themselves. These people crave success and are perfectionists. They are also very creative, and the most artistic of all blood types, most likely because of their sensitivity.

B blood

People with B blood are the most practical of the blood groups. They are specialist in what they do. when they start a project, they spend extra time understanding and trying to follow directions than others might. When they are doing something, all of their attention is focused on it. They tend to stick to a goal and follow through to the end, even if it seems impossible. They tend to be less than cooperative, as they like to follow their own rules and their own ideas. They are individualists. B type people pay attention to their thoughts a little more than their feelings, and therefore can sometimes seem cold and serious.

AB Blood

AB type people are unique, and hard to categorize. They can have characteristics on two ends of the spectrum at the same time. For instance they are both shy and outgoing. They easily switch from one opposite to another. AB people are trustworthy and responsible, but can't handle it when too much is asked of them. they don't mind doing favors or helping out, as long as its their own conditions. People with this blood type are interested in art, and metaphysics.

O Blood

O type people are outgoing, energetic and social. They are the most flexible of the blood types. They easily start up projects but often have trouble following through because they give up easily. They are flighty and not too dependable. O types always say what's on their mind, and how they feel. O types value the opinion of others, and like to be in the center of attention. Also, people with O blood are extremely self confident.

A is most compatible with A and AB.

B is most compatible with B and AB

AB is most compatible with AB, B, A and O.

O is most compatible with O and AB.

Another piece from my cleaning lately and another document in the bin. This came from my reading of some philosophy books. I actually vectorised this, haha. It's not an accurate copy of the handwritten copy, tho. the handwritten one was already pretty bad.

AUM~

heartless and cold

EDIT: And if you think my mom wouldn't do such a thing on purpose, think again. She's the kind of person who would put a poor helpless little kitty which was abandoned by it's mom, out in the cold and alone. And if it died, it wouldn't faze her at all.

I've always known my mom was a cold heartless bitch but I didn't know how much until earlier this morning when I wake up to the sounds of my brother calling my handphone and banging on the door to my room.

it is now 3.42am when I write this. I still hope against all hope that they are still alive but logic tells me they're probably long dead.

I wake up from barely enough sleep, less than two hours in fact, and stumble down to the car porch to find what he found when he came back. A tumbled over box with its remains spilled on the ground. Dread hit my stomach and I started ranting and crying at the same time. I went around the neighborhood walking around looking here and there for them, maybe they escaped running, who knows, but I didn't find them. Zilch, nada.

My mom has always hated animals. she disliked them with a vengeance. We'd been keeping the hamsters in a larger container box as their initial box was too small and wasn't suited for hamsters. especially two. Their current one had the lid taken off. We'd always kept them in the house regardless and changed the bedding once it started to smell. And we'd already occasionally find them placed outside, but that was in a fully-enclosed box so nothing happened.

Apparently tonight, after 1 month plus of my helping my friend keep them in my care, she'd put them outside. And that is akin to PURE MURDER.

God, how inhuman and heartless can she be? Are human beings so capable of such pure heartlessness they'd let defenseless young innocent animals that took up so little breathing space in this world as to be negligent, to offer them to die horrifyingly by the jaws of some other more predatory animal? Animals, one of which was pregnant, and was given into your care?

You care for them, you feed them, you give them shelter and they provide you warmth in their pure innocence and to be taken so heartlessly and dying in such a terrifyingly horrible way...

HOW CAN SHE NOT KNOW? HOW COULD SHE?

If she didn't like them I could have just given them away or taken them away the next day. She could have just thrown a tantrum. But not like this. I'll never forgive her for this. I can't believe she could be so heartless. She knows its my friends', one of them at least, and still she did that. She's a monster. She's not a human. She's a monster in human skin. I hate her for this.

My dear hamsters, I'm sorry for this. I'm sorry I didn't already separate two of you; maybe one of you could have survived in one of the other cages. I'm sorry I didn't keep you in my room. I'm sorry, if you are dead already. I'm sorry if you are dead that you had to die so horribly. I'm sorry for the unborn young. I'm sorry you couldn't have died a peaceful death. I'm sorry that I'm going to have to explain how you died to my friend.

I'm so sorry, things couldn't have been different.


God rest their poor little souls.


It's cold, my sleep is disturbed, it's now 4:11 am, I have an interview less than 6 hours away, and my eyes are all puffy and red and swollen. I feel horrible, tired and empty.

POST: my brother, me and my dad are all angry and rather pissed at my mother for the death of such poor defenseless, harmless animals. Would you want to die horribly eaten alive and barely able to do anything about it? Think of Hannibal Lecter.
