the last day

The last day at MUV Apartment96... This was such a weird feeling as the place was even more empty than when I arrived in a lot of ways... But the friends made is so enjoyable and wonderful.... It would not have been the same if not for all the laughs, shared meals, outings, happy, not so happy moments...

heat is back again

Well... it is back to the heat... Pure blue skies and the sun beating down... The bright morning sun to greet me every morning... I guess summer is really here now... The only reprieve are the slightly cooler nights...

Back to university and the last few weeks of being a student... Have started to "donate" my stuff and all... weird feeling...

APEC

Okay maybe it wasnt such a smart idea to go into the city on the APEC public holiday... For starters, there were barracades everywhere from Martin Place all the way to The Rocks... It was an adventure walking there and back again... First you have to navigate through all the fences and then there are spots that you take a long detour to get to the other side of the road... Had to turn back half way up George St back to The Rocks so that I could cross the road! The joys of APEC... Where did my brain go? Seriously! Plus to make matters worse most of the shops were shut... From Martin Place to The Rocks to Pitt Street Mall to Cockle Bay Wharf (Okay this was Lindt that was shut! It was an adventure all right... Am going to leave you with interesting shots of all the excitement...


A very pretty rubbish bin being protected from the rain!
Okay No horses due to the flu and hence police on bikes...

One of the many lovely barriers... Check this out you can't cross the road!
One of the extremely bored policeman with not much excitement
Spot the helicopter....
This is the most exciting police action of the day...

The nice quiet roads

Okie another ridiculous sign and this was at Wynard train station!
Another very bored police bus...

I hope this is the last APEC I live though... I have had enough!!!!

silence all around

It is the night of the first day of semester 2... I had my first lecture and there were only 3 people in the class... Technically there are suppose to be 7 of us but 4 are MIA... It was a really short class and we were out of there within half an hour... At least it was an interesting half an hour as we were discussing the challenges of middle school and how lots of parents are over indulgent without boundaries... Well I am now back in my room with the door shut... Was so glad that Seng Chee and Norzie came over for a visit... Haven't seen them in ages and it was good to chat with them... I miss being able to chat with people and having warmth around... Silence is far from golden at the moment... I have had too much of that and a lack of a normal life... It is affecting me in the strangest of ways, I was so zoned out that I just about brushed my teeth twice tonight... How bad is that?

Anyway, time to go to bed and make some noise in my sleep... ha ha ha

dough

I have been enjoying the joys of physio therapy... I feel like a hunk of dough that need kneading... It is such an experience... Especially when I can hear all the creaks and squeaks that my muscles are making... It is a good pain in a way and I feel much better after it... Have to keep the neck warm after each session as there is heat therapy which is the best part of the session... The downside is that I feel light headed when the session ends and it feels weird... I think the heat is highlight of anything at the moment... At least I don't look so much like a bean sprout anymore... Am looking a bit straighter which is a good thing...

The nights have really cooled down in a nice way and it is so nice to curl up in bed... Time to go horizontal as the medication is making me feel sleepy... night night

Bean Sprouting 2

Finally went to visit the doctor and she looked at me in shock...
Am going for physio tomorrow. Well I hope it helps as I am tired of looking at the world on its side. Have some medication to take to try and get the swelling down but it is making me feel sleepy... Think I am going to curl up and go to bed after posting this blog...

The upside is that the cooler weather has finally arrived and it is great to have some cool breeze for a change... The sun is shining which is great... The sun sets rather early meaning by 5 pm but the sunsets are really pretty to watch...

My eyes are shutting... till later

bean sprouting

It has been a struggle the past 2 days... I have once again done my neck in... When will I learn that there are physical limitations to what I can do? I am walking around looking like a bean sprout... At least the arm has not gone totally useless yet... Hope it won't either... But my spirit keeps positive a and I know it is only for a season...

I would give anything to be able to straighten my neck again as it is really tiring to look at the world on its side...

Till later...

Monday Blues

It is Monday...
It rained as usual...
Realized at one this morning that I had a discussion due yesterday...
Bent the nail of my thumb while opening the boot of the car...
Having a caffeine boost at 2115 in the night...
Posted a lot of discussions...
Read some really dumb responses to discussions...
Now trying to read some readings...
Have to start working on assignments that are due next week...
Lemon squash is as yummy as Lemon Lime and Bitters...
Drinking water like a camel...
Thank goodness the rubbish truck is not coming round bright and early tomorrow morning...
