This entry will cover the whole month of Sept so do bear with me if its kinda longer than usual. Mainly i'd cover the main highlights of the month instead of giving a blow by blow account of my daily life.
Right now, I'm feeling quite frustrated with one of my modules! Why? Because my other 2 groupmates have "kindly" and suddenly informed me that they dropped this module due to the girl's medical condition. And the other member is her bf. Package deal huh? Geez how IRRESPONSIBLE one can be!! Besides that, they are quitting just 3 days before the day we are supposed to have a presentation and report due! -__- Luckily my prof is understanding of the situation and allow me to hand in whatever has been done and help me find another group. Since the semester is halfway through, i do feel as if its quite unfair for another group to take me in but well, no choice!
3 Sept, Thurs
Met up with Elise, PV, MH, Tien Tien, Evonne, Miko & dennis for Final Destination 4 in 3D at 7pm. First i met with Miko and Dennis for the dinner at this taiwanese cafe. Quite affordable. We ran into Elise & PV at the Japanese bento stall but they were still eating. So i passed them their movie tickets while we continued up to 6th Floor to meet MH & her friends. However they were late so i left their tickets with the ticketer.
We took some pics in the cinema using Dennis's hp den before movie started, they all arrived. haha The movie was okay only. Quite bloody and gory! Some scenes i didn't dare to look, and i saw Miko also having same reactions. With 3D effects, it mean the scenes looked even more real!
After movie, we went to chill out at PS Mac cuz Aston too crowded. MH they all had dinner while we just had drinks. We chatted and laughed and tried to figure the new Happy Meal toy.
4 Sept, Fri
Initially it was my 1st time volunteering with Zebra crossing for their musical Victor/Victoria, however it started raining at 11am so the volunteering event was cancelled. Since my hp was under repairs and didn't have spare hp, i did go to Raffles Place but didn't see anyone familiar so i ended up going for my eyebrow threading at Browhaus.
After which, i went home to the library and borrowed some novels before going home. I went to grandma's house and borrowed my aunt's hp to use. That was when i found out the volunteer was cancelled, and that my grandma was in the hospital for puemonia. Well after that, i went home to shower before my uncle picked me up to visit grandma in TTSH. She seem quite weak and was on the oxygen mask when we visited her. I only stayed for half an hour before i left to take bus to Boon Keng.
There was a slight miscommunication with Miko and we ended up waiting at the wrong places. Esp for me since i arrived much earlier and i was quite exhausted from the full day so i sat at the bus stop outside Boon Keng MRT. In the end, we agreed to meet at Ark's Cafe, Kallang CC. I went over 1st while she waited for her friend Dennis. The Ark's Cafe wasn't opened yet when i arrived there 15 mins before 8pm. I was told by the staff that they only open at 8pm and performance may start at 8plus and they don't serve food.
So i went to the entrance of CC and waited at the bench. I called Miko to tell her about this as i was talking over the phone, i felt someone sit heavily on the bench next to me. To my utmost surprise, it was her friend Dennis!! I was laughing away as Miko was still waiting for him at the bus stop!! =x So we ended up at Mac again for dinner (cuz no other nice food thats not too far away). I had student meal of McChicken. heheh
By the time we reached Ark's Cafe, it was 9pm. There was no table in the front as we didn't reserve seats but luckily got this nice gentleman who didn't mind sharing his table with us. We listened to the 4 female singers sang several songs including English ones until 11pm. We decided to leave early cuz i needed toilet and did not want to miss the last bus. In the end, we took the last bus 13 to Geylang Lor 19 or smth and walked to Yong He House for dou jiang you tiao as supper and we also tried some taiwanese meat balls. It was 1plus am when we finished and went home.
9 Sept, Wed
Met with GR after my classes for dinner and movie. I won this free pair of tickets to watch WHATEVER WORKS. However i was sooo BLUR that i actually saw the wrong date. The free movie date was on 7 Sept not 9 Sept!!! ARGH! ANyway we had dinner at Ishi Mura in POMO. I tried the chicken teriyaki don then we chatted before walking over to PS. We walked round and round the 7th level but didn't see any booth set up. So we went to foodcourt whereby i booted up my laptop to check and realised my mistake.
I of course apologised for the fiasco and we still went to watch this comedy YEAR ONE. Very ridiculous movie but we had alot of laughs with popcorns and drinks. After that we went home.
10 Sept, Thurs
I was supposed to go for work at SMU but i felt pretty under the weather so i notified my Prof that i'd not be going in. I did visit doc for UTI and was given antibiotics on Tues. The symptoms for UTI: frequent need to urinate, burning/painful sensation during urination, and blood in urine.

I slept in and then had lunch before reading some novel to kill time. It was in the late afternoon as i was in the bed, when i felt my body temperature slowly rising. By the time it was dinnertime, i felt my lower back ache esp at the left side and felt feverish. I went back to see doc who gave me a letter to A&E and advised me to go directly to A & E as soon as possible in case of kidney infection.
Luckily my uncle was around so he drove me to TTSH where we spent almost an hour or so waiting for the doc to see me after i gave them my urine sample. After seeing doc, he asked me if i'm ok with staying in the hospital under observation and send me for ultrasound test on the next day. I agreed and my uncle accompanied me to my ward.
I was given painkilelrs and antibiotics that night while my uncle bought me some snacks as i only had porridge for dinner. The first night was bad as i couldn't sleep well and keep going to toilet. It was soo ironic that doc told me to drink more water but i ended up going to tolet more often. -_-
Anyway i went for the ultrasound at 10.30am, my uncle came at 12pm to check in on me but the doc hadn't seen me yet also. He gave me CLEO mag to read while i texted my close friends abt my situation and my classmates since i got makeup class on that day (Fri 11 Sept).
I still experienced lower back pain and both the hospital staff and my uncle wanted me to stay for another night. Ok this was even worse..-__- i dunno why but the lower back pain got worse. Haiz and i almost couldn't sleep but i guess i was too exhausted. anyway i was discharged on Sat afternoon 12 Sept and i still missed Psyc makeup class. BQ they all visited me at my grandma's house where i rested.
On sun 13 Sept, i vomitted 3 times around noon and my godma brought me to her house where she still has the medicine to stop vomit. Taking the taxi was horrible as i felt nauseous and ended up vomitting again at her place. But after i took the pill again, no more vomit. And so i rested at her house on MOn and tues too. By tues, i was gradually feeling better.

19 Sept, Sat
I had gone for a therapy yoga class on friday and felt my back pain eased alot. So on sat, i decided to resume my hip hop class. My friends were quite concerned about me going back to dance so soon. However i did feel quite alright and no adverse effects. After dance class, we except JY met up with SH & Delonn at Grand Cathay. We had dinner at Han's in Park Mall where BC joined us too. After dinner, we went to Dynasty KTV from 7.15pm - 10pm.
Here's a scrapbook image of us at KTV taken from Shi Han's Blog:
Even though this weekend (19-21 Sept) was long, but i spent the other 2 days at home, working on my assignments. HCM - research for assignment, PSYC -research for ppt, Capstone - Lit review for assignment. Pretty loads to finish especially since i was out of commission for 5 days.
