Spinning Glances

Having a terrible headache or migrain for the past couple of days. And my eyes are literally aching. It's as if I took them off and rub them on sand paper. Ish, lol.

I think it must be the weird sleeping patterns? stress or tension on studies? Not taking care of my eyes enough (beginning to put medication consistently) or the terrible heat of the weather.

Either way, I am too stubborn to rest (can't get enough of Princess Coconut - my laptop) and I've taken back again the fondness of reading for hours long. No wonder my eyes are popping out!

Either way, I need to learn to rest (wait, ain't that my speciality? lol) and be more mindful of my priorities. Mata kena jaga - important and the same goes to my head!

Which means I should stop blogging soon and SLEEP....hehehehe.

I wanna wish you all darlings a lovely, loving and blessed week ahead. May peace and love be with you always and God bless! :D

p/s: thank you to my dearest Ying Hui. :)

I appreciate and cherish you lots. your wise and humble spirit never fails to encourage and lift me up. thank you for always seeing me when i'm invisible. you are so awesome in Him. love you lots and God bless. :D

The Day I Fall In Love

by

James Ingram

The Potato is back!!! Her trip to Turkey was amazing! She travelled almost half the country (which half of the tour was spend coaching in the bus from city to city- blessedly she bought her Twilight book to read - twice!)

Weather there was so good, cool to cold and sunny! According to my research (before going), it was suppose to be cold and wet, but blessedly it was not! :) Winter was great! Temperature ranged from -4 degrees to 15 degress; depending on places. The South seemed much more colder - and SNOW was a fantastic attraction for pictures in Cappadocia (most South) which took a mere 11 hours (by coach) to travel to!

The Potato is not gonna upload pics yet as there are almost 800+ pics which have yet to be sorted according to day, place and preference. Let's not forget the editing of size for easy upload, hehe. Most probaly pictures will appear in Facebook first - hopefully by this week.

Just so you know, the Potato fell ILL on the second last day of the tour! Blessedly it was almost the end of the trip, if not DIE wei, hehe. I think she got it on the Boisborus Cruise - it was freaking freezing. So much for overestimating her tolerance for the cold. It was horrible after then - fever, flu, cold, cough, sorethroat, phlegm, headache, bone aches and piercing coldness in the body! Had a lot of panadols then and the moment she got back to KL, she had to see a doc and got an injection on her butt! And it was far from pleasant. she shall not go into the details in which she resents the doc for still prescribing her with tons of medications the size of her pinky and how awful each pill tasted down her throat!

And the flight was horrible! It made the sickness worse and the uncomfortable seat nearly cracked her bones inside out - 12 hours!!!

Note: The Potato despises Malaysian Airline Seats - Not short people friendly seats!

From KL to Dubai (vice versa) - 7 hours
Transit in Dubai - 1 and a half hours
Dubai to Istanbul (vice versa) - 4 hours

A little preview here of whats to come: Family pic - mum, aunt (second), the Potato and aunt (fifth) in Cappadokia with 'fairy chimmenies' - and yes, the white colour in the background is snow. :P

Thank the Lord Almighty for a safe and beautiful trip.

All glory goes to Him, Amen! :D

Please don't blow the summer wind away....

Won't Let You Fall

by

Fergie

(OST: Poseidon)

I don't mean to be a MELODRAMATIC princess here but I mean every detail when I say that I am really having a tough week. More like tough month! But then again, this week is the worst.


Sick - have been for more than a week! (sore throat, flu, cough, phlegm, headaches) + endless stress + tiredness + group assignment meetings + campaign management major end project + TVC final assignment (CAN'T focus now!) + upcoming TVC final exam (YET to study!)+ very dried up = I NEED SOME SERIOUS LOVE!!!!




I don't really know how to handle stress well cause naturally I am not a stressful person nor do I get stressed easily (and usually I don't let it get to me). If you know me well, I'm basically a mellow person who does not take herself too seriously (in other words, I'm not a critical person - which is why I am always so smiley and cherry). Hence.... if I say I'm stressed, means its a big deal (for me at least) and I'm really cracking out!


Lord I need You!!! I needs Your peace, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, strength and joy. Take all that is ill and sick away from my body in Jesus name and grant me a clear mind to think for my studies.



p/s: To dearie Alexis Lim Ying Hui.... thank you for being such a blessing to me. Your care, encouragement and support sustained me through my trying moments. I'm so blessed to have you in my life. Heart ya lots!

O the Strawberry-ness of Me!

Currently Listening to: Let Me Lie by Hayley Westenra.

The Potato seems rather reluctant to start blogging and posting pictures of her 5th day in Cambodia. Perhaps, it's her laziness to edit the sizes of the photos? The nonchalant manner in trying to upload them? The divided views in whether to put them in parts? The little dizziness that has lingered in her left temple since yesterday? Or just PMS???

Don't mess with the 'kitty'!

I know PMS is a very common trade among girls and women and expecially me as it never seem to ever leave me alone every month. Emo-ness, cramps, back aches, lethargicness...etc. It seems to be a bl**dy annoying cycle.... wait, it's more than a cycle! It's an evolving cycle that gets worst. I recall the first PMS I had to go through when I first started to "age biologically".

First was cramps... VERY BAD cramps, in my early teens. Then 'heaviness' (lack of energy) came in... making me feel like a slug in school then whenever 'strawberry' came. In mid teen, emotions ran wild and that's when life is suddenly a big soap opera. And before I knew it... after the teen phrase (when the big 2-0 age comes to the picture), back aches start to attack as if osteoperosis jacked my spine. And now... in this very month, I've just discovered a new symptom...a very annoying one at that... headaches!!! Plus them altogether and you'll get a circus of disasters ni ya!

I never knew that headaches were a form of PMS cause I never had it nor knew anyone who did. Most girls I know commonly and usually only have cramps and emo-ess but on my case... it just keeps piling up. I have an annoying case of dizziness and head roller-coaster yesteryday noon and thought that maybe it was due to my contact lenses of something else. The fact that it was PMS never crossed my mind till Mdm Yiang told me. Hmmm.... I couldn't think about it much then for as I returned home, I immediatly dropped 'dead' on the bed and zero-ed out for the next 5 hours. Actually, it didn't really zzzz for real but just half concious lying on the bed as the headache did not permit me to doze off. It was wrecky!

And today... my head is giving me the same knocking on my temples. So get it all straight, I went online to search for the answers. And guess what, it is a PMS symptom. And I learned more... that PMS does 'evolve' and adds on more symptoms in life as you grow/age. Which freaking explains, why each phase of my life seems to be getting worse during 'strawberry'. So much for cramps, emo-ness, back aches, and a sluggy body... now I have to as headaches to the list!!! Darn! But at least I'm not that bad.... errr.. am I? I found out there are a lot more PMS symptoms and thankfully I'm not having them (YET????)... but as it states, it does pile up as you age. A few of them are acne (walau), bloating and tender breasts... which errr.. I don't think I have (nor want to have - sekarang also pening d every month).

Girl's rules and rocks but it isn't easy being one...

Among the moon lilies

I am offically sick! :P

Aside from being affected with conjunctivits, I am also down with sorethroat, a little cough and also with ugga ugga stuck in my throat (that never goes away no matter how much water is "flushed" down).

-_-"

Anyway... tomorrow I am going to IPOH! For my chea2's second wedding dinner (Matthew koko has a lot of relatives there, hence must have another wedding dinner lo). Hope by then I shall feel much better and hopefully I'll be able to wear contacts instead of my oh-so-thick glasses :P I dont want to "look pretty" in my new dress in a nerdy way...lol.
