MRI

Just had my MRI. It's like being in a space tunnel with fightings and banging.
Initial felt like the start of a roller coaster with jerking and the uncertainties of what to expect.

Should be ok. Radiologist was cute and nice.

Hubby's Taiwan Trip I

Hubby went to Taiwan for a conference 2 weeks ago. He told me that the roads are very similar to Japan's road, especially along the way from airport to the hotel. 

I think it's the many 7-11 along the road. I love the 7-11 in Japan!

Here's the grand hotel lobby of .. what else? Grand Hotel!

The bedroom where we skype. It's very oriental looking but I was told that he slept poorly because of the noise from the compressor (air-con, I think)

Blue Ginger

I want to watch this movie! It's opening at the cinema tomorrow, if I miss it, will definitely get the DVD. SO CUTE!!!!

Wednesday 22 Apr 09

It's Wednesday! I can't believe I'm counting down the days to Friday but I'm so tired and I'm actually looking forward to Labour Day on 1st May.

This cat lives on the 2nd floor. He's very handsome but like the sister of his in the earlier post, he's scared of humans and it's so difficult to take pictures of him. He looks like Dewy, this cat is found in a library drop box and the librarians took great care of him. It's a heartwarming book.

Anyway, my medication has finished on Sun and for some reasons, I'm starting to get giddy again. Is it due to the meds? I felt myself going around in circle but I was actually standing still. It's transient but it means I have to get up slower and move slower!

I had a bout of runny nose today with bad headache.. I really don't want to be sick again. I've spent so much money on health care... =(

I'm going to sleep early today after CSI. It's Grissom last episode. =( =( =(

I love Sakura - Oh yeah.

Lovely Sakura and the fallen petals.

sakura sakura sakura.. how I love thee so.

My week in pictures

I went back to work this week. It was an OK week actually, people were nice to me and the work was busy but manageable. There were TONS of email.

But I had a lousy day today, not exactly lousy ( there were some good times) but I was really really tired at the end of the day and had abit of my morale bruised because I'm new.. Oh well..

But the bummer of all is me actually slamming the toilet door with my finger in between! My finger tip is red and swollen and my nail bed hurts very bad. Ow! Ouch! I think the nail will turn black soon.

I saw this little kitty as I was going to work on Tuesday. It was so cute and got very scared when I was trying to snap a picture of it. Nervous actually, its legs were shaking but she's so cute!

My colleague went to Sydney and bought me little edition M&Ms! She kept the whole packet for me and I was happy.  Well, between the 3 of them,  they ate 3 packs of this in 2 weeks so they are not eating mine though I keep offering it to them!

What a glorious day today was!

Just to let you know, I have a new project. Please visit   天空 and enjoy the beauty of it. =)

I received a bag of chips in the mail some time ago

 Due to a contest I took part in, they sent me a freebie. =)

I don't feel very well today

The weather is good in the rainy way. Nice to sleep, to read, to listen to music.

But the nagging headache came back. Softly squeezing my left brain.. lobe? I don't  know. It's there, my head is heavy and nothing I do seems to help. I gave in and took the anarex ( I don't like the SE of the meds) and I'm waiting for things to get better. 

And when nightfalls, I take the other med that starts with F which makes me drowsy. Which the pharmacist says will not cause me drowsiness and it's not strong but it does. Why are medications designed to treat illness actually causing people to be sicker than they are?

I'm tired and I'm taking very long to type this.

To Weiying & Mark

I wish I can be there to celebrate the day with you. 12 Apr 09  (maybe...) I wished you and Mark everlasting happiness. Here's something for the both of you =)

I wanna make you smile whenever youre sad

Carry you around when your arthritis is bad

All I wanna do is grow old with you

Ill get your medicine when your tummy aches

Build you a fire if the furnace breaks

Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

Ill miss you

Ill kiss you

Give you my coat when you are cold

Ill need you

Ill feed you

Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink

Put you to bed if youve had too much to drink

I could be the man who grows old with you

I wanna grow old with you

the graphics are so cute!
