What Happens to Yen When....

she spent 2 days and a half on her butt to write notes? Guess what I was talking about in this SMS: "Exactly i suck cuz i never like throwing heavy balls at stick thing ok that sounded pervert. Ive never felt like trying". My brain was in words crash. Muscles were in molecules crash. This is what my friend sent me prior to my reply: "Yea I have no idea why ppl like bowling so much. Its boring. Especially when u suck at it lol".

So, I don't suck that bad actually. I do have a weird funny stance that the girls attempted to copy during the last game, but failed miserably...Only, it gives me 'S' which Monika calls it 'Sexy', which means hitting all the sticks with one ball at one go. First game, Nancy was leading with Monika and Chi following closely behind. Then, on the second and third game, when I finally got how to use my 'sticking-out-butt technique', I somehow ended up leading. When I tried to use 1 hand, the ball rolled to the side hole, so immediately let that idea go.

Overall, it was fine, but I had few bad moments. Prior to going out with the girls, I spent the day at work answering people question, "puis, comment ça va?", with "j'ai une boule!", pointing at the left side of my neck, as they were laughing their heads off.

Back to the topic, I went to Odaki with Kim on Thursday, we shared green tea ice cream and so on, then on Friday morning, I woke up with an inflamed lymph node at the same place as her. Ok, I do not go around palpating myself everyday, but it hurt and felt sore. Of course, I automatically think it's related to Kim, although doctors ruled out cancer and tuberculosis, they are clueless about her diagnosis and as far as I know, they didn't say anything about it being contagious. I waited until being at work, where I waved enthusiastically at an intern medicine attending when he arrived on the unit, who told me it's probably only a virus, nothing to worry about. (Duh, you can't treat virus, it has to go away by itself.) Can't you see what's wrong? I don't have a sore throat, no fever... no nothing that could have trigger my lymph node to swell. I do have a weaken immune system due to the six months course of prophylactic antibiotics I had been taking. It worked, only failed once or twice. It caused painful intestine contractions, but I could live with that. Thank God, it's over.

Bleh, we are supposed to go snowboarding tomorrow, but I canceled. Yesterday, I got lectured in front of the three other girls by Chi the MD-to-be, because I wasn't careful enough not to share food. She says she can't get sick 'cuz she has to go to hospitals. (We were sharing dishes at the dinner before going to Rose Bowl.) Well, I work there, go there more often than she would. Do you think I'm not scared? I'd get worried about contracting any nosocomials infections due the antibiotics I was taking. But hey, I'm no OCD and since the MDs didn't say anything about it being contagious, why would I double-check? Kim spent 7 weeks kissing Lê even if she was sick, sharing food, etc. And actually, swollen lymph nodes mean your immune system is working hard to fight-fight so no big deal...unless it reaches a point like my friend, who's now required to be put to sleep for another biopsy. Yeh, I'm going to go with her as I'm on spring break and at the same time, scolding at the 1st year resident. =) I thought about Mononucleosis (nah) due to constant fatigue. It's sort of chronic so I guess it doesn't count. Oh whatever, I'm just going to get plenty of rest. I rule out tumor myself just 'cuz I felt like to...although I can fit into size 0 and weight 50kg now. Yay?

(C'est ainsi que Monika m'a traité de maigrichon quand elle a dû prendre mon poids pour louer les snowboards. >.>' Au souper d'anniversaire d'il y a deux semaines, une amie m'a rappelé qu'au secondaire, on disait que des jambes en bâtons n'étaient pas très attirants, faisant ainsi allusion aux miens et une autre était convaincue que je faisais en bas de 50kg. Crime, est-ce que c'est si évident ou c'est seulement parce que cela faisait un bon bout qu'on ne s'est pas vu? Parce que moi, je ne vois pas trop la différence. Un moment donné, j'essayais une blouse en satin qui s'attache au cou et voulant avoir l'opinion de mon ami, il m'a dit de laisser tomber parce que j'avais l'air d'un lollipop dedans. Oh qu'il y en a des histoires avec mon poids et moi. Ça finit plus depuis que j'ai débarqué de l'avion.) And you know what? I'm pretty sure it's due to my antibiotics side effects. Pray that it's over. As far as you can't read about me weight complaining anymore, I can't hear anyone commenting anymore.

2009 is bad. 2009 started badly. I don't care. Whoever wants me to be sick, why not do it big instead of feeding me with those lil babyish noisy situations? (I feel like I'm going to regret saying this, so I'm apologizing here, but I'm not taking that off. Humph!) Once and for all. If all of this is to tell me to slow down, no I won't. I do not want to spend 3 years at the university (even if I probably very much should). I want to be done with my program as planned. Yes, I failed once. Yes, it had not happened before. Yes, it's going to get more difficult...but people did it. Because, only when I'd officially done with my studies that I can finally do what I want. I bet nothing much would change in 2 years as nothing much was different 2 years ago...but still. =) LOL and I actually got scared of being alone if I was to end up ill like Kim... Sssshh secret *wink*
