wail.

i'm sick! :(

being sick in a foreign country is awful. i have no idea how to claim health insurance (so i can't see the doctor) and i have no idea what i am and aren't allowed to buy in a drugstore (because this lady in England yelled at my parents once for trying to buy some medicine for me and it escalated into something extremely nasty). and of course, no caring loving soul is around to pamper me or bring me breakfast in bed or check my temperature occasionally or just give me a generous dosage of TLC. :(

in fact, the most TLC i've received in all the time i've been here was a few days ago. i was super stressed out from school and snapping at my boyfriend and trying to book my plane tickets to Singapore when i suddenly realized my class had already started and so i ran out of my room only to realize i'd forgotten my things so i had to run all the way back and then i collided with Cristian (this guy from down the hall) who i've hardly even talked to since school started but i told him i was just so stressed and panicking and i wanted to cry and he just said "oh don't cry, you need a hug" and gave me the biggest warmest bear hug you can possibly imagine. that one, simple, never-ever-will-you-get-this-in-malaysia gesture made my day.

but i need more than a hug to cure me now. :( to be specific i need more than whatever was in the six pills i've taken already. i also need an extra 48 hours in the week. not 24, 48. and an obscenely cute puppy (that doesn't defecate or require feeding/cleaning/exercise/grooming) to play with when i come back to my room. and a magical food generator so i don't have to go six floors down for a bite to eat. and the ability to withstand the sultry temptations of sleep (like that thing you can purchase in Sims 3 with enough lifetime happiness points....whut....). and a teleporter so i can teleport to sydney, australia every day. to see my boyfriend, not the kangaroos. i also need my boyfriend. i really need my boyfriend. :(((((((


i was going to say i need a best friend but i suddenly realized that for the first time, i can actually call my boyfriend my best friend. !!! truly a momentous occasion indeed. especially considering the fact that my boyfriend is hot and is in constant demand. and had to be tamed before capture. i choose you pikachu


okay i hope he doesn't see this, that would be awkward.


my Lit Hum preceptor has turned out to be pretty cool because even though i missed both my classes last week (something you just DO NOT DO) i told him my alarm clock didn't go off and i didn't get up in time and he just went, "haha that's totally cool, 9am classes do that to everybody." and then proceeded to tell me to buy a book called Beowulf on the Beach and then talk to me about what it's like to live in Malaysia and how he's a fail semi-Buddhist (just like me) and how he lived in Tibet and can speak Tibetan and Sanskrit. what up! :D! also, he kinda looks like Clark Kent. (EDIT: OHMYGOD I just realized they even have the same initials. O____O) perhaps it's the glasses o.O

okay, i'm feeling sicker and sicker. i think i should go eat something or i might pass out.

P.S. i'm seeing jude law acting in hamlet (yes, in person) in 4 days!! BE JEALOUS, PLEBEIANS. :DDD

P.P.S. yesterday Hyeonju and I discovered that dressing room lights in very expensive stores tend to make you look radiant and beautiful.

e.g.!


ok blogger kind of destroys the picture quality. but how does my skin look that unreal?!?!?!!!! it's either the lighting or the BB cream (or both).

oh man. this deserves future research. and by this i do mean dressing room camwhore sessions. (:
