Recovering

To all who are in the knowledge of me feeling unwell, I would just like to let you know that I am slowly recovering. My voice has somewhat returned, except that it is still a little hoarse. Also, my throat no longer hurts like hell when I swallow. However, my nose is still very blocked and I still have quite a phlegm-y cough. As mentioned at the end of my previous entry, I had every intention of making an appointment with a doctor at the beginning of this week with the hope of getting antibiotics or something like that, but Angie told me that the doctors here are excessively reluctant to prescribe antibiotics to people unless the people are showing near-death symptoms: "Oh, you're coughing until your chest hurts and you've been coughing this severely for the past few weeks, even close to a month? Oh don't worry, you've just got a cough. Here's some cough syrup. Drink lots of water, get more rest, and you'll be fine" - What a doctor here can tell you.

So, yes, I'm just continuing in my attempts to self-medicate. At least I'm showing signs of recovery... It's been too long already actually. I think it has been about three weeks now, since this silly flu bug started to bug me.

As to what I've been up to this week, I have been making it a point to sleep by 11pm every night, waking up at 7am to bathe and have breakfast with Tzen before returning to my room to... watch videos on the internet:) Of course, I've been attending my lectures faithfully, save for that one lecture I skipped on Tuesday to come back and sleep because I really was feeling quite unwell. I just completed the TVB drama serial "识法代言人" last night. I decided that I will start up on the frantic reading and preparation for tutorials next week.

This week, I'm going to sleep more and just relax a bit more, indulge a little bit.

And... the weekend is just around the corner. Just great. What is there to do here in Nottingham?!

Random #1: SUMMER HAS COME EARLY! The weather these few days have been AWESOME. After Monday lectures, Po Yew, Janice and I made a quick trip to the Millenium Gardens just next to Law School to take photos. The sky is so blue, the sun is so bright, the grass is so green, the flowers are in full bloom... Forget about jackets. In Po Yew's words, which he said very happily, "The girls are wearing nothing!" Girls are walking around in mini skirts sans stockings and in spaghetti tops. Many people are now lounging around on grass patches too. I look out of my room window to see a group of people on the grass. And they actually brought out their computer screen from their room! Random #2: DINNER TIME FEELS LIKE LUNCH TIME Days are getting longer now. At 7pm, it feels like it's still 4pm. Get this, I took this photo at 7pm. Random #3: SMALL GROUP OUTING I actually just got back from a small group outing to the bowling alley, which also had a bar and a game arcade. A lot of pe...

Magical Christmas 2009 has come 11 months early

It has been snowing most of today, and everything is covered in snow - a beautiful, magical, pretty sight! It really is unbelievable how much snow there now is in Nottingham. Because it's Nottingham! It never snows in Nottingham, at least not for many many years past! Even in London, I heard that it's snowing so much that Heathrow airport was closed, train and tube services were stopped, SCHOOL LESSONS WERE CANCELLED! Why can't we have classes cancelled over here?! When I first woke up, I knew it would snow at certain points of today (but I didn't expect THIS much snow!). First shot of the day: Then the first of today's many snowfalls began at about 9plus in the morning. Here are 2 photos of the snow that collected on my windowsill: Another 'boliao' video of the snow falling: Before I knew it, it was time to go to school for lectures. After my 2 back-to-back lectures, I walked back with John and Po Yew. But, before we headed out of school, we went to the Dow...

Like some Airline video

I just watched the 3+ minutes of the "final chapter" of Little Nyonya, the Channel 8 drama serial that ended last week. [Spoiler alert] I think it is so unnecessary? Anyhow, from the time of 2:59 onwards, I felt like I was watching some kind of Airline video, the one where they would show before the airplane takes off, briefing all passengers on what to do in cases of emergencies and stuff like that? Seeing Chen Xi stand behind Yueniang like that reminds me of when the air stewards and stewardesses on the video would end the video saying, "Thank you for your attention. Have a pleasant flight." Don't you think so? On the topic of Little Nyonya, I read an article from Mediacorp TV about this "Final Chapter" and I really wonder why people are making so much noise over a drama serial such that Mediacorp people have to step out to make further explanation! It's quite ridiculous, frankly. Just read it here . After reading it, I laughed. AND the DVD is co...
