It seems like my body couldn't take it anymore..

However, the headache came when the third meeting started. Those questions that we had are so hard to solve. Okays, maybe not hard, just that more time is needed to solve them. It really made my brain worked very hard! Geez~ Seems like every modules are hard now.. Not like the previous two semesters whereby we can slack a little sometimes for a breather.

Yupps yupps~ so i got to revise more often, especially when the UTs are around the corner!Although lesson was really stress today, it ended with a good laugh before i left class for home. Sorry, i'm being bad, i shouldn't have laughed.. Sorry): The handphone battery went dead on me.. Aww~ ): As a result, i didn't reply Lydia's and HuiXin's message..

Went to bed at around 4am and woke up at 9am because grandma wasn't feeling that good so she wanted to see the doctor that she usually goes to. Sorry grandma, made you wait for me for so long while i was preparing to go out.. Piggy-licious me was really tired.
Cabbed down to the clinic. The taxi driver is kind of funny. He took the longer route and when i asked him to turn left at the traffic lights, he turned left into the carpark. Got down and walked to the clinic instead.. Luckily the route isn't that long. I didn't want to direct the taxi driver further because i don't wish to see him making more mistakes. Pity him though.. He must be feeling very bad.
Walked to the clinic and registered. We were told to wait for an hour. We went to have breakfast while trying to kill time. Went back to the clinic and waited for grandma's turn but we waited for half an hour plus before her name is called. Went in the room for consultation, got medicine and cabbed home. Seriously, the driver who drove us to the clinic really did go the longer route because this time round, it's cheaper by $2.
Did some reading today and got the words that i do not understand so i went to check out the meanings. And yeaps.. the words and the meanings, all up there(: Wanted to take a nap but didn't in the end. Chatted online and i was trying to get a comment corner for my blog.. However, i was not successful after a few tries. Gave up in the end.. Shall ask some people next time. Hopefully, there's at least one person who knows..:D I guess i went haywire due to the lack of sleep.. I said some nonsense on msn. Sorry yeaps? Oh ya.. Some rice were spilled onto one of the plants. When i was watering it, i had this weird/funny/ridiculous thinking. I was thinking.. After i watered the plants and with the sun rays.. Will they be cooked? Lols.. Just some crazy thinking.
Back online after my dinner. The act-smart me trying to re-install the game and i think i made a mess out of it. I hoped i won't spoil compaq by doing all these. I felt so dumb and i kept scaring myself, wondering what will happen to compaq.Labels: Meaning of words
